Waking up from sleep, I found myself alone, with only a strong scent lingering in the room, a mix of the faintly lascivious smells of semen and vaginal discharge.
I wearily looked at the clock on the bedside table.
"It's already past nine. Oh no, if someone finds out, it'll be bad," I said to myself.
I quickly put on a patient gown, opened the window to let the fresh air wash away the traces of last night, and then quietly walked to the door, listening for any noise outside. After making sure no one was around, I cautiously opened the door a crack, peeked outside, and swiftly slipped out, rushing into the bathroom just a few steps away at the fastest speed possible. Pretending to be calm, I freshened up and hummed a tune as if nothing had happened before heading back to the ward.
