The four decided to take a stroll in the hospital garden, since they was nothing much else they could do in the hospital. Sho sighed as they walked through the quiet gardens. It was a rather extensive garden, but there wasn't a single soul there.
"Such a waste of a garden" Aiba commented as he pointed at the beautiful fountain that was surrounded by flowers. "Its so beautiful yet there's no one to enjoy it."
Sho shrugged.
"It's a hospital, what do you expect Aiba? Everyone from the doctors to the nurses are running around like crazy to keep up with the daily influx of patients..."
"Don't the nurses always push the patients out on walks in dramas?" Aiba pouted.
"In dramas." Sho corrected.
"Last I check this isn't a drama set though. Maybe in nursing homes the patients might get walks and stuff. If they have adequate staffing that is. But hospitals? Dream on." Sho said while shaking his head.
They walked trice around the garden before they finally decided to have an early dinner. The sun had only started setting as they went back to the ward. Ohno was woke up the moment they walked into the room.
"Sorry! Did we wake you up?" Aiba asked anxiously.
"Nah," Ohno sighed. "The nurse just woke me up to give my medication. And that..." Ohno pointed to a cup on the side table. Sho picked it put and inspected the contents. "
Unn, you need to drink more fluids" Sho nodded as he made Ohno drink another mouthful before putting the cup down. Ohno's stomach had still not recovered and he wasn't able to drink much, hence the need for the IV.
The nurse came in with the dinner and Ohno looked at the food with a dejected look.
"I'm not hungry..." He said weakly.
"It doesn't matter." Sho replied gently "You have to eat ok? You need the energy to recover... It's alright even if you throw it up, but just take a few mouthfuls ok?" Sho removed the plastic wrap from the bowl of porridge before helping Ohno sit up.
Ohno picked up the spoon and tried to feed himself, but his right hand started trembling so badly that he dropped the spoon in alarm.
"Must be the knock I got yesterday..." Ohno said as he picked up the spoon with his good hand.
Sho frowned.
"The doctors examined your hand yesterday and everything seemed in order. But you were unconscious though so we don't know for sure..." Sho replied as he picked up Ohno's hand and pressed it in several areas.
Seeing that Ohno was not in pain from the probing he shrugged.
"Could be just the large impact and the fact that you're still weak. If it gets painful or anything you have to let us know ok?" Sho said.
Ohno nodded obediently as he ate the porridge. The room fell into an awkward silence as they watched Ohno eat.
"Must you watch me eat like this?" Ohno asked, "Its embarrassing!" The rest chuckled in response except for Sho.
Unable to hold it anymore, Matsumoto blurted out "Sakurai-kun, are you alright?"
"Hn?" Sho turned around and looked at Jun as Jun continued "You look so upset. In fact you've been upset the whole day."
"Ah..." Sho sighed as he buried his face in his hands.
"I don't know...", Sho sighed.
Jun put an arm over Sho's shoulder and comforted the doctor.
"Go on" Jun encouraged.
"I don't know." Sho took a deep breath before continuing.
"I don't know if I did the right thing then. I mean, he could already been showing signs of dengue then but I didn't realize... I should have checked especially knowing that he came from India but I didn't...", Sho whispered.
"It's alright." Ohno said, taking Sho's hands in his.
"I'm still alive ain't I? I'll be fine... in any case it was my own fault for not wanting to go to the hospital anyway..." Ohno confessed, embarrassed at his own phobia.
"Why are you so afraid of hospitals anyway?" Nino took the chance to ask the question that had been on his mind for a few days now.
"I..." It took Ohno a while before he finally decided to tell his past to the rest.
"You guys must promise me not to tell anyone alright?" Ohno said.
They nodded and waited for Ohno to began his story.
"What did you guys know about it anyway?" Ohno asked.
Sho told Ohno about what he heard from Kinki. Ohno nodded.
"Well I guess SMAP didn't break their promise then." Ohno replied with a wistful sigh.
"SMAP? You mean the SMAP with Kimura-kun inside?" Aiba asked, eyes widening in delight.
"Yes Aiba-kun, there's only one SMAP in the entire Agency for goodness sake..." Nino exclaimed, rolling his eyes.
Jun helpfully explain Aiba's relationship with Kimura to the confused Ohno before Ohno continued with his story.
"It happened a long time ago. When I was just 14. It was the third and last time I ever worked with SMAP. And also my third mission too," Ohno began.
Ohno had been sent undercover to a tough neighborhood in the outskirts of Tokyo. There had been an increase in drug pedaling in the area, and the drug dealers were engaging the help of teens to do the drug delivery. Ohno's mission had been to get himself recruited as a delivery boy to infiltrate the drug dealer's organization. Everything had gone smoothly at first. Nakai posed as Ohno's brother and they both moved into the neighborhood. Ohno managed to get acquainted to the other delivery boys, and eventually push his way into the doors of the gang. Things took a sudden turn though when one night a rival gang from Tokyo came to look for revenge. The rival gang also trafficked drugs, and they alleged that Ohno's gang were stealing their business. An all out fight soon broke out and the police were called in. Ohno had been taught martial arts and been told to run to safety at the first signs of trouble, but luck was not on his side. No one had expected the rival gang members to be armed, since the possession of firearms were strictly regulated in Japan. But unfortunately they had managed to get their hands on a pistol and some bullets, and even more unfortunately, the first bullet that was fired ricocheted off the wall and went straight into Ohno's thigh. Crippled by the wound, he was unable to run or defend himself and ended up with a variety of cuts and bruises before the police came and broke off the fight.
The mission was considered a small one and there were only 3 men assigned to the mission - Nakai and Ohno, with Higashiyama working in the background as the mission coordinator. Since Ohno spent all his time hanging out with the gang members, that left Nakai to do all the housework. Nakai had been unfortunately out to do grocery shopping when the fight broke out and was of no assistant to Ohno. In fact, it was Higashiyama who first heard of the fight breaking out and both men rushed to the scene. However by then, the police had cordoned off the area and arrested the gang members.
Things only went downhill from then for Ohno. The police were not informed of Ohno's undercover activity and he was treated like a common criminal. Owing to his gunshot wound, he was taken to a local hospital for operation, but right after the operation ended, while Ohno was still groggy and barely awake from the anesthesia, he'd been transferred to the prison hospital and placed under strict security surveillance. Gang fights rarely broke out in Japan, and such a huge fight, with illegal firearms at that, had caused a huge commotion in the police force. Drastic security measures were being taken, and Ohno found himself handcuffed to the hospital bed with two burly policemen watching over him.
