chapter I ⳠA dose of irrationality Ⳡ// next
â Did you know, dear? That despair is the devilâs favorite drink.
One taste of it and youâll lose everything.â
You took the next shot into your palms, gulping it down with hazy eyes. Not giving a fuck on whats happening and what just happened.
You begged your eyes to stop tearing up. Every piece of it coming out just got pushed back in. No, stop
How wonderful right, your first night shift in the delivery room, your first case, the first ever newborn baby youâve ever held,
It was inevitable. The beautiful girl had an infection and died due to sepsis.
According to Ending Newborn Deaths, a new report by Save the Children, one million babies die within 24 hours of birth. And according to WHO, sepsis claims the lives of around one million newborns each year. So it wasnât much of a world wide news event
Itâs pretty common for a newborn to die due to infection.
But the fact that you were the very first person to hold out that beautiful baby girl to this wondrous world, and letting it die in your arms
âGive me one more, Linus.â
âStop y/n, youâre gonna go nutsâ
âWasnât that the whole point of dragging her out of the hospital though?â
You swallowed it whole, moving around in your midi silk slip dress, slightly dancing, head bobbing along with the music. You were still conscious on what you were doing, but as long as you know your dress was cute, who gives a damn. The memory from the delivery room still stuck as you closed your eyes with your palm, pushing back the tears once again.
âYou obviously need a boyfriend.â your friend nearly shouted, making sure you heard what she said through the loud music.
You chuckled, still swaying around, âI can get one right now if I wanted too.â
Your friend smirked, holding onto your wrist âbet.â your feet wobbled as she brought you back to your table of friends. A grumpy expression visible on your face as she pulled you.
âLetâs play truth or dare.â
Your body refused to sit down and stay put. You pouted at the soft hold of your friends hand pulling you down. With the amount of bourbon your body consumed, all you wanted to do was dance.
You steadied yourself whilst leaning on the headboard of the velvet round sofa, right on its edge. Racing your hands through your hair, as your eyelids drooped down at your friends crankily.
âFine y/n, cause youâre soooo energetic today, youâre first. Truth or dareâ
âWith this dress? Dare duh.â you couldnât believe what your stupid mouth just chirped
But then whatâs a night without a little bit of trouble right?
Thatâs what you thought correct. that is, till you saw the way your friends mischievously stared at each other. Knowing them, your feet went cold
âYou see those hot guys over there,â she pointed out the group of guys sitting and hanging around at the bar âThat tall beefy guy over there is Ushijima Wakatoshi, a famous volleyball athlete.â she handed another shot of bourbon in front of you, and with the most cynical smirk she continued
âI dare you to take him down on the dance floor.â
Your eyes went straight to the drink, darken as you have finally realized just what a stupid stupid decision you just made. Shouldâve just gone with truth and tell them the color of your underwear. Your hands hesitantly took the drink with your palms, staring at it attentively, imagining the next awful thing that will happen
But then you heard with wide ears the next song, it was The Weeknd. Like how can you not?
You held the shot high like a warrior, âChallenge-â and drank it down
Unknowingly to you, a pair of brown gray eyes were already fixed upon you.
âIâm surprised they let you in, Goshiki.â Semi cooed. âIâm literally 23 now senpai, cut me some slack already.â he ranted back. As he took the drink on the table, he noticed how undeniably serious his other senpai looked.
âShirabu senpai â he nudged him âbeing a doctor doesnât give you the right to ghost me yâknow.â
Shirabu Kenjirou, a 24 year old intern, stationed in the same hospital as you are. Eyes unwittingly wondering all over your figure from a five meter distance. How could he not recognize his junior from this short of range?
especially with that kind of dress.
The way you brushed your hair back with your fingers whilst leaning on the sofa, naturally swaying your hips, made him loose focus of his whole current situation, just to be woken up by his kohai.
he turned around to face back the bar, taking another sip of his wine, Trying to maintain back his usual composure. Who wouldâve thought heâd meet you here on a saturday night. the thought of you being possibly single was filling up to much space in his mind, he tried to put his attention back on Tendou who was talking about some shounen jump series.
âFUCK! And then he-â Tendouâs mouth suddenly gaped for a second, âGUYS, look look! Three oâclockâ Shirabu glanced at his direction and nearly choked on his wine when he saw you strutting your way towards their group.
His heart pumped harder incessantly as you were nearing them. Though not expressed on his face, he was particularly nervous.
But in a mere second he cooled down his hopes.
He doesnât actually have a low self esteem on his appearance, but with just a two second glance on his group, he knew he had some competitions.
But his whole world suddenly stopped the moment he felt two finger taps on his back.
Everything, the music, the dancing, the sound from the bar, the snickering from Tendouâs mouth, the woos from his group. He couldnât hear a single thing except for the next few words that came out of your curved mouth
âYou, me, dance floor.â
Liquid courage bringing the both of you to the dance floor.
Your hands took both of his considerately, yet bravely. With a seductive grin he chuckled at yours.
You walked backwards towards the dance floor, hands still holding his, actually starting to get cold. âDo you know who I am?â he asked. You scoffed â-BUT OF COURSE I DOâ
Once the both of your feet was standing on the middle of the floor, you let him go. And just for a second there, you thought you felt as though he wasnât gonna let you. But then you degraded your thoughts rationally, despite how drunk you were.
You swiftly moved your body along with the music wildly, while as he was simply trying to contain his laughter whilst dancing the bare minimum.
You jumped around messing your hair, âWELL yOUâre obViouSLy Not aS dRUNk as I AMâ
âIâm glad youâre able to see that.â
âYâknow for an athlete, you look kinda cuteâ
âIâm not an athlete Iâm a-â He paused.
âThe way his raspy voice softly whispers sweet, yet salty remarks right into your ears, warming you with his breath, you couldnât help but think,
Is this really liquid courage? Or are you just falling in loveâ
