Sacrifice ;;

     He’d just finished filling out the chart and waiting for the pain killers to take effect when there came the soft knock at the door. He was rolling across the floor on the stool he’d been sitting on and pulled it open smiling at his beta who didn’t look as happy as he expected her too. Frowning, Gdofrey stood and placed a hand on both her shoulders steering her into the room, presenting her before the patient as if she were a prize and not on the way to being a full fledged doctor herself.

"That's right. It's a pleasure to meet you by the way." She bowed after Godfrey presented her to the patient, the smile never leaving her face. Following the doctor's instructions, Jieun put on her gloves and then got a coagulant into the patient to stop the heavy bleeding, she could tell that he had lost a lot of blood. It was surprising that he wasn't dead by now, he was a human after all and all those woulds and the blood that he lose were extremely dangerous. 

          Brushing the dust off her hands, the woman nearly glided down the hidden staircase, stepping out into the small back room and looking into the main room, a smile appearing on her face at the familiar face she spotted wandering the shop. Taking a moment to wash her hands in the back bathroom, she moved to behind the counter afterward, her nose leading her quickly to the coffee and sweets in the bag that had been left there. Resisting the urge to already open up the snacks, she paused when she noticed what had caught her younger friend’s gaze, a wicked grin slipping onto her lips.

Taking a careful look at the pig fetus in the jar; she could finally distinguish each part of it. A smile appeared on her face, feeling happy of seeing Gain again after all that time. "Nearly a century? Bet it smells like flowers. Probably like those flowers that you have at the other side of the shop, I can smell them from here." She joked slightly, looking at Gain with the smile still on her face. "Gain! How are you? It's been a while since we last saw each other." Jieun turned around, hugging her quickly due to the excitement she felt at the moment.

Yunho found it cute that the younger was trying to stop him. Well, Yunho found anyone cute but, Jieun has her own unique charm. He looked around the store to see what it had to offer but, he still kept his eyes on Jieun, so that she couldn’t run away. A small smile crept in Yunho’s lips as he had a very interesting image of the other with cute and sexy outfits on as he still kept scanning the store. 

She slowly took a peek through her fingers, the store was indeed big. Lots of different types of lingerie and costumes were all over it; and that didn't help Jieun at all. "Damn, what have I got myself into?" She mumbled to herself after stop covering her eyes and looking at the store carefully. "I just wanted to laugh a litt- Oh my-" She couldn't even finish what she was saying when he showed her the schoolgirl’s uniform, if you can call it that way.

Getting to the shore was easy, climbing on it a bit harder. His wet clothes stuck to his skin like an armor, making his moves slower and clumsy. He, withe the help of greenery growing on the edge managed to get himself up. He held out his hand to the girl. Only after they both were on the solid ground he realized he was shaking. His teeth were clattering violently. Losing body heat at an alarming rate, he decided his best option to keep himself warm was to change.

He gave the girl critical once over, to check whether she was affected as well. “I t-t-th-think” his teeth chattered “t-th-that we sh-should ch-ch-change”. The thick fur and wolf body warmth much higher than human one was the best counterbalance for the coldness that creeped into his bones. 

Coldness was slowly creeping into her; she was used to low temperatures but as they were getting out of the water, the wind made it feel even colder than before. Just like him, Jieun tried to get up the shore but failed. So, when he offered his hand, she accepted without a second thought. Once in the ground, she started to feel a little bit calmer.

She wrapped one arm around her own waist while caressing that arm with her free hand; slightly trembling due to the coldness. "Y-yeah. You are right. W-we should change." She agreed with him; if they kept like this they will for sure get sick and that wasn't something good.

     —-The pager clipped to his side has just started to go off for the third time and he knows that whatever nap he was planning on taking has to be put on the backburner. Irritated he yanks his discarded scrub shirt over his head and silences the device at his side. He has no idea where his phone is, but he decides he doesn’t need it anyway. Someone better be dying or they’re going to catch an earful. By the time he makes it down to the first floor where paramedics are sitting with someone strapped to a stretcher he’s plenty annoyed. His patient is moaning and bleeding and the smell of blood permeates the air around him. He steps forward to inspect the wound — and it’s plenty deep but not that life threatening if the bleeding is brought under control

     It’s nothing he can’t hunt down an intern to stitch up and he knows the perfect one, heading over to the nurses’s station and dialing Jieun’s number. It was no secret among other’s at the hospital that he was playing favorites with her. When good cases rolled through their front doors, she was the first person he called. He’d been lectured about it by the attending physicians at least three times over. But he was trying desperately to sweet talk his beta into choosing emergency as her specialty. They worked great as a team outside of work he didn’t see why they couldn’t bring that dynamic to the workplace either. But it wasn’t an easy sell. Then again Jieun didn’t seem to like making things easy for him at all.

"Hello?" She faintly answered the phone; before lying on her bed again as she listened to the other person on the phone. It was Godfrey, the alpha of her pack and also her 'mentor' at work; at least she considered him that way. The only things she could catch from what he said were 'four wounds', 'stitch him up' and 'room 113'; she didn't needed anything else to understand what he wanted her to do. "You have to be kidding me... Ok, I'll go." She practically mumbled before hanging up the call and waking up from her bed. The only thing she did was brushing her teeth, tying her hair into a ponytail and putting on some clothes before rushing to the hospital; still half asleep.

After listening to Jieun’s defense, Yunho glared at her and huffed. "Are you trying to get in trouble with me, woman?" The alpha had said pretty loudly and kept glaring at Jieun. Although, Yunho knew the other was lying, he didn’t think it was going to be this childish or this tempting. 

The look on his face was totally priceless for Jieun, if she could take a photo of it she would have done it. But since it will probably make him even angrier that he already was, she decided not to do. Instead she just raised both of her hands in surrender. "I'm not, It was just a tiny joke. At least you didn't walk in there." She replied to him trying not to laugh again.

His eyes quickly returned to the waterfall, the need to get closer the the view and the bubbly fresh water was too great to resist and Kyungsoo found himself walking carelessly to the brink, where land was suddenly cut off by swift current of a water.

He wondered if this place has any name, except ‘the waterfall’ that is. He turned to the girl, opening his mouth, the question at the end of his tongue when a sudden miscalculated step made him loose his footing. So instead of a question he let out a yelp. For a split second he faltered, his hands frantically searched for something to hold onto, when catching his balance appeared to be futile. He failed on both accounts. Almost. In the last moment before a fall his fingers caught something… Or rather someone, before he toppled down into the ice cold water. The world whirled and then there was icy cold water in his mouth and ears. Surrounded by bilion bubbles, with dull roar of waterfall in his ears, he frantically tried to re-orientate himself. 

Guessing the way up would be to the light, with a few powerful thrust of his hands and legs, that kicked the water beneath him, he burst up, breaking the water’s surface. Coughing and spitting, he floated looking around. The girl was not on the water’s edge. She was floating right beside him equally wet.

Her eyes kept looking around, neither of them saying a single word. At least until he turned around again, she diverted her attention back to him since it seemed like he had a question. But just as he was about to say something he lost his footing, and let out a yelp. Jieun stayed frozen in her place, her eyes wide open due to the shock.

It wasn't after a second that she reacted and quickly took a few steps towards the boy without even thinking. She extended her hand, in hopes of catching him just in time to stop the fall, but no. The next thing she felt was water everywhere. Even into the water, she couldn't close her eyes; she was almost having a panic attack. Good thing her eyes started burning like hell, because if not she wouldn't have reacted at all. She frantically swam back to the surface. A frightened expression was all over her face as soon as she got her head out of the water. The coldness of it didn't bother her at that moment, she was used to the cold anyway.
