Chapter 2: Symptoms
It has been a week since the plane crash incident and by this time, almost all of the patients from the same accidents had been released from the hospital. Shiraishi’s father - who had sustained minor injuries - was among the first who were discharged. It was safe to say that everything has returned as it should be…
“Why don’t you go ask her out already?”
…even Hiyama Mihoko. who had almost lost her license due that almost-lawsuit, was back to teasing the already flustered Fujikawa Kazuo. Rumors had it that she will be repeating the term as a punishment for that incident, but at least she gets to retain her license as a doctor and surely she had learned a valuable lesson from that experience.
“It’s tiring watching you stalk her around.” Mihoko continued as she casually checked her nails.
“I’m not a stalker!” the red-faced Kazuo replied. He said it in a voice louder than he had intended causing unwanted attention directed at him. He flashed a rather goofy smile at one nurse he had caught giving him an odd look. The same nurse disappeared in an instant.
“Well, you could definitely pass as one.” was Mihoko’s quick return, watching the nurse scurry away with an amused smile on her face.
“That’s not very nice, Hiyama-sensei.” it was Shiraishi Megumi who spoke, although it was evident that her eyes were already dancing with mirth. Kazuo, the ever dense one, of course missed this and took Shiraishi’s words at face value. He jumped behind her and placed both hands on her shoulders.
“I knew you’d side with me.” Kazuo noted in a voice unbecoming of his profession. Megumi caught Mihoko’s eyes in a instant and an amused smile blossomed on her pretty face.
“Wha-OUCH!” Kazuo groaned as somebody not-so-lightly bumped into him from the side, and hence causing him to lose his balance and grope for the thing nearest to him for support.
“Eek!” Megumi yelped as Kazuo caught her arm in his feeble attempt to regain his balance. It was rather unsuccessful and he would have taken her with him on the floor if not for the strong pull of somebody on her other arm, steadying her.
“A-Aizawa-sensei?” Megumi blinked as the said stoic doctor steadied her. “A-Arigato…” she muttered, unsure of what had just happened.
“Ohayou!” was Mihoko’s rather cheerful greeting, her smiling eyes falling on Kousaku’s hand that was still holding Megumi’s arm. The quiet doctor made a rather curt nod, discreetly releasing his hold on Megumi’s arm.
“Our shift’s almost starting.” he said and without further ado, left the room. Megumi took a quick glance of her watch and gasped, “Oh!” before following suit.
“Some help here?” Kazuo grumbled, still on the floor. Mihoko could not help but laugh as she helped him back to his feet.
***
It was Megumi who was assigned flight duty for the day. Mihoko, who was suspended from boarding the helicopter until the start of the next term - except of course if there are any unanticipated emergency matters and more doctors are needed in site. Kazuo had disappeared with (Saejima) Haruka to attend on his patient.
“That was quite a feat back then, huh?”
Kousaku looked up from his paperworks to find that Mihoko had taken the empty seat right across him on the table. He raised an eyebrow at the rather amused glint on her eyes, that mischievous smile on her face also spelled trouble.
“Earlier.” Mihoko continued when she figured that Kousaku was intent on keeping silent. “You accidentally ‘run’ into Fujikawa.”
He went back to his papers muttering, “I don’t get what you mean.”
“You were jealous.” was her statement and Kousaku looked up at her, raising an eyebrow. The intercom, however, announced that the heli(copter) will be arriving in 5 minutes, before his mind could even come up with any smart comeback.
The patient was a 22-year-old college student, Takano Ryuuji. He was stressing out about being dumped by the girl that he was pursuing that he tried to drown his troubles with beer earlier that morning. Already drunk and out of his mind that afternoon, he accidentally fell from the veranda of room (which was conveniently located at the 3rd floor of the apartment he was renting) and fell on the hard concrete. Miraculously, his life was saved and he only received a few broken ribs and sprained ankle as a result.
“Ne, go out with me.” Takano said, a statement rather than a question at Haruka who was currently gathering empty IV bags and used medical supplies from the table of the patient nearby.
Aizawa Kousaku, who was currently tending to another patient in the general ward heard clearly. His back was turned to where Takano was located. That was not the first time that patient had tried to hit on a nurse (and even a female doctor). Kousaku snorted as the younger man tried his luck again.
“Come on. It’ll be my treat.” Takano was saying, trying to push himself in a sitting position. He only succeeded in wincing in pain as his ribs complained at his sudden movement.
“You have to stay put. Shiraishi-sensei just told you that, aren’t you listening?” Haruka said with a frown, helping the younger man back to his bed.
“Shiraishi?” Takano mouthed, “Oh, you mean the nice doctor in a ponytail.” he crossed his arms and nodded, “Hmmm… she’s a pretty one too. I wonder if she’ll agree if I ask her out.”
Haruka only rolled her eyes - surely, this kid has one inflated head. She opened her mouth to say something but it was cut-off when Shiraishi Megumi herself finally made an appearance. She gave Haruka her usual kind smile before taking Takano’s folder.
“Feeling okay, Takano-kun?” Megumi asked, taking out a pen and giving him a smile. Takano’s face brightened and - carefully, this time - tried to sit again.
“This hospital is surprisingly comfy.” Takano replied, flashing on a very confident smile.
“I see. I’m glad that you feel that way.” Megumi nodded, walking towards him with her stethoscope. “Do you mind if I listen to your chest?”
Takano shook his head and lets her listen to his chest with her stethoscope. “Ne, sensei… can you hear my heart?”
“Eh?” Megumi blinked, “Yes.”
“It’s calling out your name.” he answered swiftly with another smile. Megumi lets out an amused smile and shook her head at him. “I hope you’re not breathing my name too.” she spoke, putting the stethoscope on his back.
“You read my mind, sensei.” Takano continued, watching her through the corners of his eyes as she did her work.
“You sound healthy enough to me.” Shiraishi lets her stethoscope hang on her neck as she continued with her examination. “Will you lie down for a second? I’ll check your ribs and then your ankle.”
Takano did as he was told like an obedient child, but unlike a child he had a knack for throwing rather cheesy pickup lines when Megumi was least expecting it. The doctor smiled as she finally finished her examination of the college male and stated that he’ll be staying at the hospital until his injury heals.
“I don’t mind staying. I got such a pretty doctor attending to me.” Takano said, carefully sitting again, watching Megumi take some notes on his folder. “I never felt so lucky being sick.”
“I’d rather have you healthy.” was Megumi’s smiling reply. “So behave while I go check on my other patients. Perhaps we can transfer you to a private ward afterwards.”
“How about some lunch with me? It’ll be my treat. You’ve been so nice to me and I feel that I need to do something to pay you back for helping me heal.” Takano said, flashing another perfect smile. Megumi blinked at him in surprise. She opened her mouth wordlessly, speechless as what to say.
“Shiraishi, I need help with the patient in Room 206.” Kousaku called and Megumi was surprised to find that he was just checking the patient on the next bed silently. Her eyes was wide when he looked up at her and gestured for her to follow with a slight jerk of his head. She politely excused herself to Takano and followed her fellow intern.
“What’s wrong with your patient?” she asked when they are out in the hallway. She was in fact wondering if the said patient was so critical that the usually proud doctor even has to ask for her help.
“Sleeping soundly as we speak.” Kousaku replied, his back had turned stiff, Megumi couldn’t help but notice. She made a rather confused nod as she tried to jog to catch up with his pace.
“I thought you needed my help.” she said with a confused frown.
“I thought you needed mine.” Kousaku replied with a poker face. Megumi blinked, wordlessly gaping at him. He lets a small smirk before walking ahead of her. “It’s almost lunch.”
“E-Eh? Hai…” she tilts her head as she watched him walk ahead of her. She shrugged and decided to just follow. Like he said, it’s almost time for lunch.
