We are all grown ups untill there comes a day we play like children. The feeling of children as they play always is warm as you look at them. That's why as a grown man, when you play sometimes you feel at peace and forgot your worry, sadness and even the worst thoughts ever. That's why there is a saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy….". That's the reason even elderly people sometimes needs a child's play to feel alive.
Charles who couldn't shake the feeling of being caught has now throw that feeling at the back of his head. He really has forgotten he is a doctor and should behave as such.
As they locked the innocent man in the supply closet, Charles turned to look at Jae Won flustered face because they just locked a man inside a supply closet. How was he gonna get out? They grinned at each other while they all turned and eyed the cart.
They run further away from the supply closet "now what? Let's get this straight…. I have a good feeling I'm gonna win this race" Charles said as he smiled so beautifully even Jae Won noticed.
"Oh please, do you know how long I have been practicing my wheelchair race?" Jae Won snorted at the words that came out of Charles's mouth.
Charles raised and eyebrow with the I don't believe you written on his face "oh really, is that so?" With a hint of doubt in his voice. "Mr wheelchair racer" he said in a sarcastic tone.
Jae Won nodded as mischievous grin hinted in his eyes "you do realize I've visited hospital quite sometimes now back at home and I do that sometimes" he said.
His words are indeed factual. Once his brother was admitted at the hospital, he spend most of his time there taking care of his brother even though they had a caregiver. He usually went ther after school just to get away from his family.
On days he was bored out of his mind, he sneakily steals a wheelchair just to play in his brother vip room every single time. Jae Won remembered as he smiled like a villain. "Oh then we will see about that" Charles chuckled.
Jae Won came closer to the hospital cart instead of his wheelchair he had mentioned earlier. This made Charles surprised "Where is your wheelchair for the race? Charles asked looking victorious already. But Jae Won who knew what he was doing grinned from ear to ear and replied "relax, there's time for everything" and did not forgot to smile brightly.
"Okay, just don't break your promise" he said. They both grinned and climbed aboard the hospital cart with each grabbing hold of the push bar. The smiles and happiness emanating from both of them had to be seen by the naked eyes. They turned and looked at each other while they took a deep breath and simultaneously shouted together
"On your mark, get set ….ready Go!!!!"
With a burst of laughter, they hurriedly pushed off the cart from the wall and speeded down the way of the hospital hallway. The cart rattled and shook while it wheels squeaked in protest as they sped.
Charles who probably hasn't done this since his childhood whooped with excitement as her opened shirt flapped behind him giving the vibe of an Indian movie where the ML beats the villain up and down for kidnapping his woman.
Jae won on the other hand, yelled back as his eyes shining with amusement and joy, playful and humorous glint.
As they zoomed past the nurses stations and the hospital rooms, the staff couldn't help themselves but stare. Some of the patients who could walk came out of their rooms to take a look at the excited noise as their darkened face is sparkled with light with their favorite doctor doing things they would love to do if they were not stuck in this room.
Some of them laughed and cheered while the other looked on in confusion with what the fuck is going on at the hospital. Jae won who saw what he had expected grinned "now that we have the audience, let's finish this and the real competition begins". Charles looked at him with confusion in his eyes.
Now that the half competition was at end of it, Charles and Jae Won jostled for position as they hurtled toward the finish line and ended their first round competition at a designated spot on the wall. In a dead heat, they both collapsed on the floor and fits of laughter permeated the air.
Jae Won turned to look at the audience when he noticed the nurse down the waiting area earlier. He approached her and with a few talks he came back to where Charles was.
Now more and more free staffs are coming to the second floor and some of the patients too. But the fun wasn't over as Alex had promised a wheelchair race and he was determined to make it happen.
Charles who was still catching his breath didn't realize Jae Won had got away from him earlier. He noticed something was off when he heard some noise coming towards him only for him to be met with Jae Won as he wheeled out a sleek high - tech wheelchair.
Charles eyes widened in surprise as he couldn't help but asked "where did you get that?" as he was impressed. "I have my ways and also connections" Jae Won grinned. He had to talk to the nurse down the waiting area for this wheelchair even though it was not supposed to be given out.
Those wheelchairs were the VIP's and Jae Won just got it in a matter of seconds. Well you can't blame the nurse when a handsome man stood right in front of her for a request.
"Well, I'm someone who doesn't back down from an already promised challenge or competition I must say" Charles chuckled.
Now they both were seated at their respective vehicles. The hospital cart is now a bit clunky compared to Jae Won's wheelchair.
The crowd of the hospital cheered so as the patients and Charles and Jae Won took off once more. Jae Won's wheelchair zoomed down the hallway with its wheels smoothly spinning while Charles pushed the hospital cart with all his might but it was clear as the day that Jae Won had the upper hand.
The crowd and the patients who loved Charles didn't hesitate to encourage him by cheering his name "Doctor Charles, you got it! You can win! We love you! We are proud of you!!" Jae Won who found it funny turned to look at the audience and back at Charles.
"I didn't know you had fans in this hospital" he said as he sped up his wheelchair. "Oh you tell me, I'm loved by my people. I can't help it dear" he grinned at Jae Won who couldn't stop himself but laughed at his expressions.
The staffs loves him so as the patients. Charles could convince the patients who resist taking injections and was afraid of injections. Some even insist they are are well as a rock and don't want to be brought in by ther parents or guardians, but Charles try all his might to convince them and in a matter of seconds, they are brought in.
Now Charles was determined not to disgrace himself in front of his fans and also spare his lunch money. He pushed the hospital cart faster and faster, his face was set in a serious mode with a fierce expression and his effort to win was almost possible as he was now taking the lead.
Jae Won had a surprised attack as some of the crowd who were not cheering on him earlier all of a sudden started cheering him on and in a funny way too as it says
"Handsome man, you can do it. We love you. Win for us, handsome man" Jae Won suddenly turned to look around because he didn't expect to be cheered on but here he was being cheered on and it felt great. Now he sped on as if his life depended on it.
Jae Won now had fans and doesn't want to disappoint them either so he pushed with all his might. The crowd cheered so much and the patients too felt alive with smiles that reached their eyes and the two supposedly friends hurtled towards the final line. Jae Won's wheelchair crossed the finish line a fraction of a second before Charles's cart followed in the end.
Charles grinned genuinely "you've won this time Jae, but I will be back" he said "I'm not gonna spare you next time" he continued. Jae Won laughed so much as he was waving at the crowd who kept cheering him on even after the race. "I can't help it, it's in my DNA" he said as he turned away from the crowd toward Charles.
Charles shook his head in disbelief after he heard Jae Won words "you've got to be kiddi…." but his words was interrupted when they heard a deep hoarse voice that could send chills down someone's spine interrupted him
"What the hell happened here?" the man asked freezing both Charles and Jae Won.
