Dantae's POV:

Today is my first day of work...

After studying for so many years, I finally became a psychiatrist officially.

Sunny mental health hospital is where I'm supposed to work from now on, and I'm incredibly excited but also anxious at the same time.

Wearing dark grey Fastoni trousers and a long-sleeved white linen shirt, along with the watch my mother gave me for graduation, I changed into a formal look.
I brushed my hair out of my face to look neater and grabbed my leather black bag off the table, then stepped outside after exhaling a deep breath.

I glanced up to the sky and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. I had no idea what was to come, but I was ready for it. I took a step forward, ready to take on whatever came my way.

After 30 minutes of driving, I finally arrived at the hospital. As I entered, I asked the information desk where I should go, and they led me to the president's office, Dr. Joe, an old professor in charge of managing the hospital.

After a knock, I walked inside, and Dr. Joe welcomed me with a handshake. "Hello, young man!... You must be the new doctor!"

I smiled and said, "Yes, I'm Seo Dantae. Thank you for having me!... "

He laughed a bit and replied, "I'm happy that a young, handsome man joined us! This will give nurses some motivation to work better... haha..."

I laughed along with him nervously, "I'll do my best!"

Then Dr. Joe called the head nurse to guide me to my office room and show me around the hospital.

The head nurse, Miss. Choi was a middle-aged woman with tanned skin and brunette hair, a bit chubby and short. As we greeted each other, she showed me the whole place.

The hospital was a large, imposing building with four floors and a big yard at the back.
The first floor was filled with medical clinics, examination rooms, a reception desk to check in or out and guide people, and also a cafeteria, while the second floor was dedicated to patient rooms and offices for medical staff with a library filled with different kinds of books.
The third floor was dedicated to administrative tasks, and the fourth floor was dedicated to research and development. In the back, the yard had a garden and a playground for patients. The hospital was designed to provide an environment of safety and support for those seeking mental health care.

My office room was placed on the second floor, obviously. My office was cozy and had a great view of the garden, and I loved that as I walked in there.

Miss. Choi said, "This file that I placed on the table is the information of your first patient, and you'll be just in charge of him for now."

I picked up the file, "Thank you, Miss Choi!" and glanced at it.

[ Last Name: Park, First Name: Myung,
Age: 28, Diagnosis: Severe depression, CPTSD*, Eating disorder, Self-harm.]

As I flipped the pages and read furthermore, I was taken aback by the information.

I asked Miss Choi that was still standing in my room, "I'm sorry but why did all the doctors here reject him?!... And there's no clear information about this patient, like what has caused him to come here or anything else! They just wrote down a short summary of his behavior."

She answered calmly, "He has refused to talk. He just stares out the window blankly and doesn't react to anything else, so all of our doctors have lost their hopes for him in these 11 months since he's not willing to get better.
They weren't able to find the trigger to make him speak either...
And there was a time that... "
