Siberia was pulled out from her slumber by the sun penetrating through her window; the draperies were apart as from last night. The faint, but sweet melody of the birds could be heard. Siberia moaned, taking a stretch while lying; prior to getting up. It was 8 in the morning which meant that she had enough time to get ready. Siberia at first was about to wear her casual work attire, but then she remembered that she had to go to the hospital and not her office. She smiled as she began rummaging through her closet, searching for something that would suit the atmosphere, the purpose she was going for precisely.

Prior to heading in for a shower she chose to call Mikhail as he clearly had barely any familiarity with her new errand. Mikhail replied on the subsequent ring. "Yo young lady, wassup"

"Hello Mikhail, I just… .." she was cut off by Mikhail who appeared to be excessively excited.

"I'm at the bus stop, I'll give you 10 minutes to get here"

"What?" Siberia was taken aback by his sudden proposition.

"Aish, let's go together. I have a lot to tell you"

"Ah about that, can't do"

"Why?" Mikhail's excitement slowly began to leave his spirit.

"Actually, Mr. Han gave me a 2 weeks holiday. It's not exactly a holiday, but rather some way or another it is. I have to look after his nephew who'll be discharged within that time period so you won't be seeing me at work" Siberia felt bad now that Mikhail would have to go alone.

They both made a great team. In addition, they would always blabber whenever they got the chance, they would make random jokes about each other, for lunch they would always take turns for buying the meal. Both were often found together; if anyone couldn't find either, they would easily guess that Mikhail and Siberia were out somewhere. They had an unbreakable bond and an inexplicable chemistry. Siberia knew the office wouldn't feel the same to him yet there was nothing she could do.

"Oh" Mikhail no longer sounded enthusiastic, the excitement completely died down.

"I'm sorry Mik, but let's meet after you finish work, how's that?"

"Yea sure" He said no more and disconnected without letting her speak further.

"Did he just hang up on me", Siberia stared at her phone screen, a scoff leaving her mouth. "Well, I'll deal with him later" She tossed her phone on the bed, entering the bathroom.

Siberia reached the hospital around 9. Before entering she messaged Mr. Han as he told her to inform him as she reached the destination. She sucked in a breath, making her way in; feeling nervous and butterflies in her stomach.

"Hi, I'm here for Bak Ganghan Yeong" Siberia spoke to the receptionist, giving her the details so as to receive acknowledgement for visiting the patient as usually caretakers weren't allowed to remain for a very long time.

"Okay, he's in room 204. In case anything happens please don't act on your own and inform any nearby doctor or you can ring us up"

"Okay, thanks"

Siberia proceeded towards the elevator. While in the elevator she looked herself in the mirror that was present in. She was wearing a violet colored shirt with balloon sleeves that was tugged in her white, high waist pants with a golden belt. Her black bag hung on her left shoulder and her black coat rested on her right hand. Siberia had a light make-up on; eyeliner that wasn't much visible, a baby pink matte lipstick and slight hints of tint was visible on her cheeks. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail with a purple scrunchie.  For footwear she had white sneakers, the one she usually wore as those were the most comfortable. She sprayed perfume over before heading out, slightly brushing off her shirt to fix any unnoticed flaw.

Taking in a deep breath, she made her way to room 204, reading the number plate on each door. Shortly after, she stood before room 204; Siberia could as of now feel the perspiration shaping on her palm and brow. She immediately cleared it off and opened the entryway.

"Hey it's ….." She went silent as she was greeted by an empty room.

The room possessed a scent like liquor. Empty wrappers lying on the floor of chips and other low quality food, the bed was a finished wreck too. On one of the side tables were containers of medication and a jug of water with a half filled glass of water. On the lounge chair was a bag that most apparently was his cloths and other of his stuff; his earphones lying close to it alongside his phone.

"Alright" Siberia said as she advanced in, lost for words as she wasn't anticipating this. She knocked on the restroom entryway to check in the event that he was in there, yet he wasn't as she got no answer nor heard any sound from within. She scratched her head, not understanding what to do ensuing to detecting a medical caretaker outside.

"Excuse me" She hurriedly stepped out. "Where's the patient of this room?"

"Ah it's actually clean up time so we send the patients out while doing so", the nurse spared a glance in, "Oh is his room not done?"

"Ah probably not" Siberia chuckled awkwardly.

"Ah lemme do that"

She began to quickly tidy the room, changing the sheets as well and discarding all the trash in a bin.

"You must be his girlfriend" the nurse spoke as she moped the floor.

Siberia choked on her breath by the judgment of the nurse, "What? No you're mistaken, I'm here as his caretaker"

"Ah I see, my bad" the nurse apologized as she bowed and left.

Siberia smiled broadly as she recalled what the nurse said, 'Aish'.

"Excuse me?" said a husky voice that made Siberia look up in a flash. It was the voice she could never forget nor mistake it for anyone else. There he stood, in his hospital gown, his face shining bright and his premed hair ever gorgeous. Those Aqua green eyes meeting her gaze and Siberia gazing back; she didn't even blink her eyes once, fearing that he may disappear.

He squinted his eyes at her as he observed her features. "You look familiar" he said as he approached her.

Siberia stood up, her eyes never leaving his. "Yea, we've met before"

    "Oh," Yeong exclaimed as he walked in, pointing at her."Hey," Siberia said, smiling."Woah! "How did you know I was here?" Yeong appeared perplexed yet ecstatic as he spoke."Your father..." She rose from the bed to make room for him to sit.When Yeong heard the word "Father," it was enough for him to understand. "Ah, right. He did say that a caretaker would arrive soon, but I didn't anticipate it to be you."Well, surprise!" "We meet again," Siberia said, forming a V with her fingers."It most certainly is". He smiled as he sat down.Siberia took a seat on the couch, set her bag down next to her, and took a bottle of water out. The fact that neither of them spoke made the atmosphere awkward. Siberia didn't really mind as she was used to not talking, but Yeong didn't like it. He wanted to strike up a conversation, but wasn't sure where to begin with. "So uh….." Before catching her eyes, he scratched his head and cast a sidelong glance. Are you...going to stay here all night?Mr. Han

    Siberia stepped back rapidly, her face flushed red and eyes wide open. A slight gasp escaped away from her mouth. "I'm s.s… sorry" She faltered as she spoke, rapidly turning away in shame.Yeong was excessively stunned to say anything himself. Not that he disapproved of the embrace, however, more like he was astounded when she embraced him. It was an unexpected yet inadvertent move that stunned the two of them.He took a gander at her subsequent to looking down and randomly examining the room. "It's alright, I mean" He scratched his head, trying to figure the right word to clear the tension. "We're friends; I mean some way or another. Yea, that's right, a friendly hug and because you got way too excited", he looked towards her, expecting her to be at ease. "A friendly hug", he said again as he nodded.Siberia took a gander at him before looking away again as she still felt the heat on her cheeks. "Hahaha, yea that's fair enough". She said nothing after and neither did Yeong. An awkwar

    Siberia stared blankly at him, her eyes puffy and red, as well as her nose, with her mouth slightly open. She didn't say a word as she was too perplexed to speak, just continued to stare at him bemusedly. Yeong, who couldn't stand to wait any longer, seized the chance to continue.Ever since he saw her at the scene of the accident, he had wanted to say this to her. He looked desperate as he explained, "We met in Busan, in that bus where a boy harassed you and I helped you. We reconnected the following day in front of Mr. Kilter's library, and as a thank-you, you treated me to lunch." Yeong regarded her in anticipation, hoping that she would be able to recollect those memory fragments. Siberia, however, kept staring.The elevator door opened and they both made their way back to their room.Siberia pulled at his shirt from the back just as Yeong moved to step inside. She said, "I know," as Yeong turned around. She uttered, "I know," once more, this time with a tiny smile. "I vaguely re

  • What's Ongoing Can't Be Forever   A Memory Fragment I Finally Recalled

    Siberia gazed at her bewildered. At the point when Siberia initially saw Dana she thought Dana was somebody who worked in one of those general stores. It isn't so much that she was peering down on her, inferior precisely, yet that was the means by which Dana was dressed; a worn-out baggy shirt with dark pants and sloppy shoes with unkempt hair. Now her hair was flawlessly tied in a bun, apparently by an expert. She wore a dark shirt whose two buttons were undone from the top with bell-bottom white-pants. For footwear she donned dark, 6 inch heels. Her coat hung free by her shoulders. This style was some way or another cliché, however it looked new on Dana."I see I've taken you by surprise", Dana spoke with a smile forming over her face; her olive skin radiating by the reflection of the sun from the window that's now losing its blazing flares. Siberia continued to stare for a brief moment until she finally spoke. "Ah, we meet again. I didn't reckon you were a doctor". Siberia let out

    9 years back Siberia's parents had a contention over a trivial issue like how they usually would. Her dad left and didn't get back for over seven days. Siberia's mom believed that he was simply having a tantrum to cause her to feel regretful, yet much to her dismay it was another tempest that would cut off their relationship.Around midnight both Siberia and her mom shocked conscious when they heard a boisterous thump on the entryway. It was surprising to have guests at this hour thus her mom believed that perhaps it was Ian who came back. Be that as it may, after opening the entryway there were two obscure individuals with Ian standing oblivious in the center, upheld by the two others. Siberia remained by the flight of stairs, close to the entryway, looking as her mom spoke with them."I'm detective Dana and this is my mate. We found him lying in the middle of street 9 in a drunken state and used his ID card to track his house details." Dana spoke with much confidence that there was

    Siberia's eyes were bloodshot red as she didn't have a proper sleep and her head ached badly. Though Siberia was used to having frequent cerebral pains, this was different yet she remained ignorant to it and prepared to leave.She wore her sea-blue sweatshirt with black pants along with her usual sneakers. Her hair was tied in a messy bun highlighting her jaw and neck lines. She tugged in her shirt a bit before giving herself one last look in the mirror prior to leaving her apartment.While getting off she heard a voice she assumed she knew very well. She somewhat peeked down and spotted Dana on the phone."Simply transport them to me and I'll deal with the rest" Dana spoke nonchalantly while swiping her hair back and looking sideways to ensure nobody was there.Siberia saw this as a significant wellspring of material in her investigation cycle and thus started to record while ensuring she was out of reach from Dana's sight."Believe me when I say the experiment will be worth the effo

    Siberia left the room after Yeong rested off. It was five past forty and Siberia left for her room while updating Yeong's condition to Mr. Han on her way. Dana stood just outside, before her entryway with her arms crossed. She wore the same clothing with the exception of this time, her hair was tied in a low braid. She looked at Siberia when she showed up, a smile spreading over her face."Took you sufficiently long to come dear" Dana spoke with a little mockery to her voice."Is there something I can assist you with?" Siberia despised Dana and right this moments she wanted to bounce at her like a wild feline, however she shunned herself from doing so and put on a phony grin all things considered."Nothing as of now" Dana came a bit closer to Siberia from her spot, her arms still crossed. "I see you two are together now, if I'm not mistaken" Dana raised her eyebrows a bit as she spoke."You were eavesdropping" Siberia looked at her in disbelief."I wouldn't say so. He is my son and as

    The bitter winds of Korea swept through the bustling landscape as Yuna and Siberia continued their relentless pursuit of justice. Armed with the leverage they had unearthed on Dana, the villain who had woven a web of deceit around them, the duo pressed forward with a steely determination.Their investigation led them deep into the heart of a forgotten research facility hidden amidst the forestry expanse.

    Siberia stayed on the ground as Yeong went, his mother trailing in his wake. There was nothing left to see, so the throng started to disperse. Siberia was assisted to her feet by a few kind nurses and led into a quiet room.One of the nurses stayed around after the others had departed, saying, "Have some water, dear," in a tone reminiscent of a mother comforting her kid. When Siberia looked up, she saw an elderly woman who appeared to be in her 50s. Skin dangling from her arms, wrinkled. Siberia's voice broke as she said, "Who are you?"The woman rubbed her head and murmured softly, "Someone who believes you." "I am aware of Dana's activities. I've seen her do it in private, but when I tried to bring this to light, I was written off as crazy. Embracing the truth is never simple". As she said, the woman averted her gaze. "This is not the initial instance. Her methods have deceived countless individuals, including your dad.""You recognized my father?" Siberia said, looking up at her i

    "YOU-", Siberia found her words to be lost in a trance. She heard faint voices of a little girl calling out to her mother, faint voices of a little girl telling her mother how her day at school was, faint voices of a little girl telling her mother how her cooking is impeccable and how she'll always love her despite the ups and downs. She heard her mother's voice telling her how she'll always protect her. Siberia felt her chest burning, her head aching, she felt her muscles cramping yet there was a greater pain than what she felt physically. She stormed out of the bistro and ran halfway where she got herself into a taxi and headed straight back to Seoul.Upon reaching Seoul she got herself another taxi and headed to the hospital, expecting Dana to be there. She screamed out Dana's name in rage which drew the attention of the people yet Siberia didn't care the least.

"The traffic was terrible" Mikhail laughed as he spoke, enjoying her expression all over.

"There are two things..... Yeong and I are together" Siberia spoke in haste and very carefully observed Mikhail's reaction. "You are WHAT?"
