《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 7

This can't be actually happening.
Principal Park turned around to face Ms Bae, with his back faced to the wall.He was lost for words, who could blame him.. He bowered his head and faced Ms Bae. As he raised his fist and indicated with his thumb to the door behind him, he placed on hand on his waist , almost like he knows the answers to the questions burning through his head but it's just that he doesn't want to accept them as the truth..
"I assume you are going to say that no one has entered past you for the whole day", answered Principal Park.His voice was low and as he uttered every word, it's almost like he would fall back with the extreme levels of cortisol that were starting to raid his blood stream.
Ms Bae nodded and affrimed with a 'yes'. To be honest if words were bullets, the simple and single word that Ms Bae said would have peirced right through Principal Park s head leaving him gasping for air.This is because as soon as the word entered his ears, he moved the fist hanging mid air toward his face so as to massage the bridge of his nose. Principal Park does not like feeling this way because he gets easily overwhelmed to the extent that he can get physically ill because of stress..Like at times he can actually develop nose bleeds and emesis.At this present moment, he might seem like he is just overreacting through his outburst but the truth of the matter is that his inner-self is overemphasizing the issue, his mind generates mountains from molehills.His consious mind quickly runs to absorb all the negatives of a situation and worst possible scenarios and plunge all of them on him..Basically all in all what he is showing is just the tip of the iceberg of how he actually feels.He always is!!
"Let me try and call Gong", answered Jin while taking his phone out and not waiting for a response from Principal Park.He walked away from them about four feet.Jin knows of Principal Park s emotional disorder but he hates to see him fight his monsters so this act of calling is just a masquerade to cover up how cowardice he feels when Principal Park gets trapped by the voices spreading poisonous and over the top echoes in his head...Afterall he is the only who has ever been close enough to Principal Park for him to share this secret..As he was dialing and holding the phone to his ear, he kept throwing glances at Principal Park and he could see he was drowning but he can't do anything to save him.. All he does is watch..

Ms Bae wanted to ask him if he is fine but she felt like that would be a really unnecessary question.She could clearly tell there was tension and sentiment in the room and all of it seemed to rest on Principal Park.So her asking him something like this felt really selfish like she is adding wood to the fire.She quickly erased the idea out of her mind and went towards the door once more.
Just then as Principal Park was in the mist of all this confusion, his personal phone rang.He reached for it and the moment his eyes landed on the screen he was immediately over-showered with helplessness..It was 'Park HaeSoo',the school 's director. Principal Park exhaled heavily and hit the green button..
"Park, what on earth is going on",barked Mr HaeSoo the second that Principal Park was about to greet him..
Principal Park was confused as to how on earth that Mr HaeSoo could possibly know about what is going on in the school.He could ask him that ,but the voice in his head tells him the reason he is going to give is probably going to cook up more problems or confusion.With eveey reprimand that Mr HaeSoo fired at Principal Park, Principal Park was getting closer and closer to a nervous breakdown.Mr HaeSoo is one of those people who can give you a hundred reasons to feel worthless and that kind of person is the worst person to be talking to someone like principal Park especially when he is like this..He continued to talk for so long that Principal Park started to agressively massage the bridge of his nose, whilst his eyes were closed..At this point Principal Park wasn't even listening but that didn't stop Mr HaeSoo from talking
"Park!!you better clean up that because if this leaks off in Choi Daniel s papers, your reputation will be the rugged cloth I wipe my shoes", admonished Mr HaeSoo before he hung up rudely..The phone stayed on his ear dispite the line being long cut..
The person on the other side of the line was speaking too loudly so Ms Bae could here everything however she pretended not to notice anything.She directed her head just to steal a glimpse of Principal Park and felt a tiny pinch of sympathy for him but nevertheless she wouldn't dare express it..

"He suffered from a concussion from probably falling, after resting and refreshing he should be fine", answered Dr NamJoon after nearly ten minutes examining WooJin then moving back and forth between the first aid kits.

In who was by the bed side nodded without for a moment taking his eyes off WooJin.Jaemin all this time was at the foot of the bed was constantly moving his gaze from the patient and the doctor.
Dr NamJoon walked over to the desk and started to script a prescription for WooJin.Jaemin followed him ,leaving In and WooJin.
"Doc, how long is he going to be like this", inquired JaeMin while waiting for the prescription.His arms were completely rested on the table but he was still towering over the doctor who was now seated.
"I can't say for sure but the minimum is ten to fifteen hours",
"Fifteen !!!!", exclaimed InYoup.
He screamed out this phrase such that both NamJoon and JaeMin immediately looked at him.Jaemin placed his hand on his waist to show that InYoup should be ashamed of himself...He pouted at InYoup and In wrinkled his forehead..Dr NamJoon ignored this dramatic display at he focused back on the the document. JaeMin shook his head and retracted gaze back to the prescription..
Dr NamJoon wrote it and then stood up to check some drugs from the cabinet and afterwards handed the paper to JaeMin.He told him the dosage required and that WooJin should take them after he wakes up.If WooJin wakes up and these two are still here ,then they should go get NamJoon otherwise JaeMin should just leave the paper on the side table.Also should WooJin wake up and they are still and there is another practitioner,the practitioner will help.
"If you need anything, come to me anytime",answered NamJoon.He smiled after looking directly at JaeMin s ever joyful face and placed his arm in JaeMin s shoulder who all this time was peering into Dr NamJoon s eyes that had a somewhat intrinsical lustre feel to them.He released his arm from JaeMin s shoulder , nodded towards InYoup and then he headed out if the room.As he went out JaeMin s eyes followed his every step until the door closed..
"What!!", barked JaeMin whilst his back was still to In but somehow felt as if InYoup was looking at him.He wrinkled his eyebrows because he could feel that InYoup s eyes were piecing through and they screamed judgement.
"Am wondering how long it's going to take before SeJun unleashes its wrath on him.He looks quite new fresh from uni and totally innocent", remarked InYoup almost mocking Dr NamJoon.
" Shut up!! Nothing is going to happen to him", answered JaeMin get impatient with the pessimistic approach that InYoup is trying to take
"How do you know that",asked InYoup not that he was really interested.
"Because I won't let it ", He murmured inaudibly
"What ?",asked InYoup because he heard the murmur but he wasn't really interested.He also gave up on the idea of ever getting JaeMin to repeat what he said..Which is probably for the best..

"Jang , don't do anything stupid", answered Wonwoo..
Jang was standing on the rooftop staring at the meeting area. Jeon Woonwoo was about ten feet behind him and slowly taking a step closer and with every step, Jang kept placing his hands on the ledge like he wanted to jump.. Despite the fact that Woonwoo was terribly concerned, Jang wasn't in the slightest bit intending on jumping. He was looking for something, atleast that's what he thinks!
Woonwoo could see that Jang is looking for something but he couldn't perseve what exactly that thing could be and why it's in the rooftop.He is always here so he knows the tiny corners of the place
Truth is he likes to come here to play games and basically study.So today he had dodged the meeting to isolate himself here.As he was lazily seating with his headsets on and the music blaring in his ear, he saw a figure rush past his and towards the edge.Befire he could make sense of what is happening,the figure started to hang its upper body over the ledge like it was checking for something without a care in the world of the danger of a ledge.And that's when he got startled to stand up and save the suicidal figure
He noticed it was Jang but couldn't understand his intentions because from time to time ,Jang would look like he wants to propel himself off the rooftop and then he would just abandoned his attempts..This was extremely petrifying and nerve wrecking as if Woonwoo lowers his guard , then anything irreversible might happen.. Gosh !!
This is extremely stressful and confusing for Woonwoo to watch... What on earth could he be looking for that's driving him this crazy??
