The next day, Jihwan went to work after being asked by Dahee many times if he's really fine. "Do you really need to go to work today?" she asked while they were on the table, eating breakfast. "Dahee…it's the 10th time you asked whether I really want to go and my answer is still the same. Why do you need to worry? I'm working at the place where the wounds and injuries been treated…" he said. "Y-you're right, I'm just overthinking about it too much…" she looked away. "What, are you worried about me?" he teased and blushing appeared on her. "I told you that I'm not! Enough with these jokes!" she slammed the table and walked to the kitchen, washing the bowls and other dishes. "Okay then, I'll go to work first, bye~" "Just go!" Jihwan giggled and walked out. Then Dahee can finally breathe peacefully. … "Jihwan-ssi! Why do you suddenly take one day off?!" Soomin asked. "I'm sick…" he said. "Jinjja? Are you okay now?" she put her hand on his forehead and Jihwan slowly put it away. "I'm fine…" "Okay then, if you feel uncomfortable, feel free to tell me…!" she frowned. "I will…thank you for your concern," he said. After lunch… "Jihwan-ssi~~" Soohyuk called him. "Mwoya?" he asked. "Why are you being so cold towards me?~ You don't love me anymore?~" Soohyuk made a cute face. "Before I beat your ass, stop making that face…" he said. "I'm just kidding though~ why are you so serious?~" Soohyuk chins up on Jihwan's table. "I leave too much work, I need to finish everything now plus there's two surgeries for tomorrow…" he said. "I see…but you're still coming tonight, right?" he asked. "I'm not, I want to rest at home…" he said. "C'mon Jihwan-ssi~ Dojin sunbae will be disappointed~ you know that you're his favourite junior right?" Soohyuk persuades him. "Fine…but I'm not drinking because of tomorrow…!" "Okay! And, why don't you bring your canary along~" Soohyuk smirk. "If she just wants to, I don't think she likes drinking," he said. "Just told her to come~" he said. "Just see if she wants it, I'm not forcing her…" … Meanwhile… "This phone was not as hard as it seems~" she said, scrolling her social media. "What does Jihwan do right now…" Dahee mumbled. "Eh! Why do I care about him?!" she said. Then, Dahee saw a brown envelope on the desk. "Is this Jihwan's?" she asked herself and opened the envelope, there's a few documents in it that she couldn't understand. "Should I send it to him?" her heart whispered. Suddenly there's incoming calls from someone. She picked it up and heard Jihwan's voice. "Dahee…can you bring a brown envelope on the desk in the living room to me, I forgot to bring it…" he said and ended the call without waiting for her response. "Eh?! Jihwan! Yah! At least wait for me to response ssaekki!!" she yelled. Angrily, Dahee changed her clothes and went out. She's taking a bus like a normal human and walking to the lobby at the hospital. "Now, where's that bastard?! Did he really need to piss me off everytime?!" she was mad. Then, she saw Jihwan coming towards her. "Look at that, walking arrogantly, it suits his face well…" her heart whispered as she frowned. "Dahee, you're here…" he said. "Of course I'm here, if not, who's the one standing in front of you…" she rolled her eyes. He giggled "you looked sensitive today~" he said. "Maybe…who knows what's in my mind" she continued. "You seemed pissed off~" he teased. "You already see it yet you're asking about it?! You suddenly ordered me to send this fckin' envelope and immediately ended the call!" she hit his chest with the document. "You're mad because I ended the call?" he frowned. "Yeah…!" "Do you miss my voice, canary?~" he whispered to her ear. Dahee flinched and speechless "don't talk nonsense with me!!" she pointed her finger. "Okay, chill~ you look so angry~" Jihwan pat Dahee's head that makes her stop babbling. "Again, he used this trick…I hope he'll not hear my heartbeat…" her heart whispered and went along with a throbbing heart. "Let's go…" Jihwan said. "Where?" "My office…" he said, grabbing her wrist. "Eh! Why do I need to follow you?" she asked and was pulled by Jihwan. Once they were in his office, Jihwan told her to sit on the chair in front of his desk. "Why did you bring me here?" she asked. "I want you to stay until I finish my shift…" he said. "Why? You never told me to stay…" "My sunbae threw a party after work, I want to bring you along with me…" he said. "Ouh…okay…" she said. Then, Jihwan told her to wait for him as he'll go and send his diagnosis. Suddenly, Soohyuk came in and was surprised to see Dahee was together with Jihwan. "Dahee? What are you doing here?" he asked and sat down. "Hi Soohyuk-ssi, I'm here to send a document to Jihwan~" she said. "Then, why are you still here?" he teased. "Jihwan told me too, he said that he's sunbae throw a party after work and he wants to bring me along…" "Ouh…it seems that his heart has become softer~" he mumbled. "You said something?" Dahee asked. "Huh? No~ I just said that I hope your day will be greater~" he said. "You too~ thank you!" she smiled. Soohyuk smiled along with her and didn't know why her smile made his heart vibrate. It feels like she used a love potion towards him. "Dahee…" he called. "Hmm?" "You should hide from now on…" he said and it made her confused. "Hiding? Why?" "Cause you're too hypnotizing~" he smiled. "No way!~ I got nothing to do with hypnotizing~" she smiled awkwardly. "You don't trust me?" he asked and she shook her head. "Then, let me prove it. Follow me, gaja!" he invited her. "Okay!" Dahee followed Soohyuk to see whether he told the truth to her. Sometimes, human can't be trusted. "Where do you want to bring me?" she followed him from the back. "Just follow me…I'll let you know~" he grinned at her and continued walking. Dahee was confused and had no idea where he wanted to bring her. She followed him to somewhere that was most used by doctors and nurses. Then, a few male doctors looked at her while whispering to each other. Dahee realized that and tried to not misunderstand them. But, the more they walked, the more people they looked at her. "Soohyuk-ssi…am I looking weird or something?" she asked. "No, why?" "Cause all of them are looking at me like I'm a criminal who just commited a crime…" she said. "Did you not realize how they attracted to you? I told you that you're hypnotizing~" he said. "But they're looked like judging me…I'll go back to the office…" she said. "What?! No! Let's take a few walks more…" he said while holding her by hand. "But they didn't look like they wanted me here…" she said. "Then, let's go somewhere else~" he said. Both of them get to the 3rd floor and accidentally meet Soomin and Jihwan right after the lift door opens on the 2nd floor. "Dahee…" Jihwan said. "Jihwan-ssi…what floor do you want to go to?" Soohyuk asked. "3rd floor…" Soomin said. "Same with us!" Soohyuk said. Dahee kept her mouth closed and didn't say anything. Not letting a word come out from her mouth because she was afraid it might be an awkward moment. Once all of them get out from the lift, they get into the resting room together by chance. There's two couches and a television. This kind of room was all over the 3rd floor and it was used by all the patients and workers to get a rest and relaxing time. In that room were only 4 of them, not talking and looking at each other. "So, why do you suddenly want to bring Dahee to this room…?" Jihwan asked with his glared stabbing Soohyuk. "I-I just want to help her release some tenses~ don't misunderstand me Jihwan-ssi~" he said. "Didn't I tell you to wait in my office?" he looked at Dahee. "Eh!? B-but Soohyuk-ssi told me to follow him!" she said in guilty. "Woah woah, can't you guys be a bit relaxing, this room was cramped with all of your tense and serious attitude…" Soomin interrupted. "She's right~" Soohyuk said. "Okay!~ since there's someone who is new here, can I know your name?" she asked. "I'm Kim Dahee, you can call me Dahee~" she replied. "Annyeong Dahee-ssi~ I'm Jang Soomin~" she introduced. "Annyeong Soomin eonni…~~" "Why are you here today? I mean! In a good way~" she said. "I'm here to send Jihwan's document just now and he invited me to his sunbae's party" she explained. "I see…so, you're living together? As what can I know? Sorry if it's too personal, I'm not forcing you to answer that~" she said again. "It's okay, I don't mind…I'm his housemate" she said without hesitance and it made Jihwan quite surprised. Soohyuk realized the changes of Jihwan in a second and can tell what he was actually hoping from her answer. "You looked quite shocked Jihwan~ is there anything you actually wanted to change?" Soohyuk teased him. "I'm just fine…" he said with a poker face. "Okay, by the way Dahee-ssi…are you okay with drinking? I mean, are you good with soju?" he asked. "Soju? I have never tried it before but I can give it a shot!" her smiley eyes were going along with her dimple smile. "Well, okay if you said so…Jihwan was the one who's gonna be responsible if she's drunk right, Soomin-ssi~" he said. "Yeah…" she sighed. "I'll prove to you that I'll keep myself together and not get drunk!!" faithfully she said it. "You said it! And we'll see~" Soohyuk squinting his eyes. Skip at night… "So tonight, instead of inviting all of you to this party…I'm gonna make an announcement!!" Dojin said. The environment becomes silent for a while. Then, he takes Nayoung's hand "me and Nayoung-ssi gonna get married next week!!" he announced and everyone broke the silence with claps and cheers. "Congratulations hyung!!" "Congrats Dojin Sunbae!!" "May you have a happy marriage!!" After the scene calms down a bit, Soohyuk and Jihwan personally congratulate him. "Dojin Sunbae! Happy marriage and may both of you be blessed with a lot of children!!" Soohyuk teased and everyone was laughing. "Soohyuk-ssi!!" Nayoung hid her face and Dojin was blushing. "Thank you Soohyuk, I hope you'll also get a girlfriend one day~" he wished. "I'm not the type of person who'll rush into a relationship, I still have a lot of time though~" he said. "You're right…but if you have someone in your mind, just try to get along with her. Who knows if that heart was gonna change or not, right?" Dojin advised. "You're right sunbae…but you're supposed to say those things at Jihwan, not me," Soohyuk said with a poker face. "Jihwan? Why?" he asked and looked at Jihwan, suddenly saw a girl beside him. "You finally brought a girlfriend?" he asked and everyone on the table looked at him. "Who's that?" "Is she pretty?" "Is she working with us?" "You finally have someone, that's good~" Nayoung said. "I-I…" Dahee was speechless with their reaction when seeing her as his girlfriend. "You're right…" Jihwan held Dahee's hand. "She's my girlfriend…" Jihwan kissed the back of her hand. They were surprised by it and some of them were also gossiping about it. "I thought Soomin was the one who'll be his girlfriend…" a colleague whispered to another. "Who'll know that Jihwan and Soomin wasn't a couple at the end, they already be a close friend for a long time" "That's a shame, I thought it'll be a good thing to hear Soomin and Jihwan be a couple but his girlfriend was more attractive, she's look cute" "For real, I also saw her at the lobby, I thought she was his patient but unfortunately, it was his girlfriend" Soomin just clenched her chopstick and pretended not to hear the gossip. "Oh my god, look at that~" Nayoung slap Dojin's back when seeing Jihwan kissed Dahee's back hand. "Why did you hit me?! Aigo…" he said and it made Nayoung giggled. Dahee was stunned and freezed after saw Jihwan's reaction towards her. That was unexpected and so sudden for her. Meanwhile, Jihwan still kept his chill face and didn't let go of her hand yet. "Yah, at least respect to those that are still single here!" Soohyuk whined. "Who told you to be single…" Jihwan drank his soju and everyone giggled.
