❝ fret not — won bin & qri

How he had managed to be so clumsy, he had no idea. And as he stood in front of the brown box with the utility knife in one hand, the blade partially covered in blood, and the other cut up straight across his palm. It stung, badly even. Sighing in frustration he looked down at the wound, realizing the blood had started to fall on the wooden floor.  Gritting his teeth he placed the knife on the counter and walked over to flip the open sign to closed. Moving in a hurried pace he went to the back room, wrapping whatever cloth he found around the wound to avoid more cleaning later on.

Making his way back to the front he glanced down at the blood stained floor, the dear wooden floor that gave the store it’s familiar feel. Sighing again he grabbed the paper towels under the counter, bending down to wipe up the worst of the red liquid. He threw the, now turned red, paper towels in the bin and draped his jacket over his shoulders. He used a few minutes to fumble out his keys, and locking the red door which was, ironically enough, the same color as his bloodied hand.

Though that seemed to be the only thing that took a while. Hauling a cab was fast, mainly because the driver had seen his hand and hit the brakes even when he had intended to drive by. “You alright son?”, the middle aged driver had said in a thick Jeolla dialect. And after having assured him that it was only a cut, he explained the way to the only hospital he would go to. Because even with his healing abilities, Won bin wasn’t the most popular Fable around and thus it took quite a while before it did heal. Although not something he wished a Mundane fable to know.

Once arriving at the Hospital in question he thanked the driver and payed up. Walking in a normal pace he made his way through the doors and towards the counter. “Is doctor Lee Jihyun in?”, he questioned the nurse in a monotone  but strict voice, his gaze hard, reflecting the discomfort he felt. “Y-Yes, just a minute sir.” She said and reached for the phone apparently dialling said person. “Your name sir?” The nurse seemed nervous under his stare, like most people did as Won Bin could hear someone picking up the phone on the other end. “Won Bin.”
