( last friday night ).
↪ on the line... @nssomi
Heels clacked almost obnoxiously across the tile floor as Haewon made her way toward the Medical Bay, a collection of file folders tucked neatly into the crook of her elbow. It wasn’t often that she visited this area of HQ--- in fact, she’d only been here three times before: once on her orientation tour and twice more to check on a clandestine agent who’d gotten injured while she was on the line with them. So, one could conclude that the linguist didn’t get many assignments that coincided with the medical agents in the building. And that conclusion would be correct, to a certain extent. She translated research papers and medical records fairly often, but every time before now, she’d been told to slip the original document along with her translation back into the filing room when she was done--- never had a translation been so urgent that it needed to be taken straight to the Medical Bay upon completion. But there was a first time for everything, she could only assume.
The sterile white walls had Haewon feeling a bit nervous, as she’d never particularly liked hospitals or anything of the sort, and she found herself aching to get this over with so that she could return to the familiarity of her own desk. Rows upon rows of closed office doors passed as she navigated her way through the twisted hallways, counting down the numbers on the wall until she found the room number that had been mentioned to her when she’d gotten the assignment.
Knocking politely against the open doorway, Haewon took a single step into the room, eyes glued to the files in her hand. “Hi--- I’m the linguist, I was told you needed these files for a patient?” Slowly, she lifted her line of sight to make polite eye contact with the agent behind the desk, only for something to catch in her throat as she caught sight of a familiar face. Not exactly a face that she’d ever thought she’d see again. Feet frozen in place for a moment, she openly stared across the room, a constant stream of questions playing over and over in her head.
