â: my museâs reaction to getting a phone call from the hospital about your muse
Jiyeon groaned and flipped herself to her side, crankily peering an eye open at the phoneâ her phoneâ buzzing and vibrating its way along the coffee table beside the couch in the boysâ loft in the most annoying fashion possible. It very nearly dances its way to the edge and falls off before her arm is outstretched, hand open to grab it mid-descent. Pulling it close to her face, she has to squint at the phone number emblazoned on the bright display, eyes too sensitive to the light and too blurry from sleep and lack of contact lenses to read it otherwise. Itâs Devon.âDevil,â she growled under her breath, already prepared to do her best to convey her displeasure at having been woken up at⊠whatever time it was, as she pressed a black-tipped, bejeweled nail against the touchscreen to accept the call, bringing the phone to her ear. âWhat is it?âÂ
âIs this⊠Park Jiyeon?â She frowned. The voice was not Devonâsâ unless heâd recently  become a very soft-spoken woman. Shuffling in her spot, she pushed herself to sit up, blankets falling off of her body and pooling at her waist as she answered the woman to the affirmative. âThank goodness,â the woman on the other end of the line breathed in what sounded like relief, before continuing. âMy name is Doctor Kim from St. Maryâs Hospital,â she explained in a soft manner. âWe have a patient here by the name of Park JinyoungââShe tried not to snort at the reveal of what had to be Devonâs Korean name, completely missing the explanation of what had happened to him. ââtried contacting his emergency contacts, but none of them would answer⊠so we decided to try calling back the last person he had spoken to.â The doctor finished, letting the air hang dead for a moment as Jiyeon processed what was happening. She was getting a call from the hospital about Devon⊠and no one else had bothered to pick up their phones? She tried not to be furious, choosing worry instead.Â
âHeâs⊠okay, right?â She intoned hopefully, biting down on her lip. It wasnât like she cared about him or anythingâ she just didnât want something bad to happen to him, either. Devon could be annoying, but he was still a friend.Â
The doctor answered just as quickly as Jiyeonâs answer had been slow, easing some of the tension that had caused her shoulders to draw up uncomfortably. âOf course,â she replied easily, explaining for the second time that he had fallen down and hit his head, needed stitchesâwhich he was currently receivingâ and had been checked out for a concussion. âHeâs been cleared for discharge once weâre done, but heâll need someone to come pick him upâŠâ
The conversation had carried on a few minutes longer before the doctor had disconnected, leaving Jiyeon with cheeks puffed in frustration in the dark. She was glad he was okay⊠a little more than she wouldâve thought sheâd be; but she was definitely going to find some way to get back at him later for interrupting her beauty sleep. âTime to go rescue Jinyoungie,â she murmured to herself as she rose to change out of her pajamas, idly, as if second nature, texting her familyâs chauffeur for a ride.
