I knock on the hotel room's door, painful anticipation filling up my body. The five second waiting feels like five hours, time enough for me to project the next moments in my head.
Her. At this time in this chilly October morning, probably in large and comfy clothes and just-woke-up messy hair. She'll open the door and greet me with a pearl white smile, her green eyes being the first thing I meet today.
"Hey! What's up, guys!"
My daydream fades away in an instant as I see the blonde man coming out as he opens the door, his wide grin directed to me, Namjoon and Mr. Kang standing in the hall by the doorstep.
I knew there was no way I'd be able to meet Rose alone today. Namjoon is our leader, so of course he'd come along to represent the rest of the members. Since he's very responsible himself, Mr. Kang's presence wasn't really necessary, but he has trust issues with all of us since we started to get drunk on live streams.
"What, you're all gonna just stand out here? Come in!"
Not needing to be told twice, the three of us timidly step into Eric's fancy hotel room and place ourselves around a breakfast table, the food displayed on it still untouched. My eyes dance over the place, looking for Dr. Rose, but she's not here yet.
I wonder if she noticed the slight despair I'm trying my best to hide. We first met yesterday in the weirdest circumstances and parted ways with no expectation of seeing each other ever again, but here I am on the very next day making excuses to have one more chance to try to charm her my way.
My excuse is believable, at least. We need private doctors, and we know she and Eric are the best there is. It's plausible. She gets a job, and I get my pride back when I toss her in a room and make her eat each one of her words of rejection right under my touch.
"I hope you didn't mind that we got your number from Jin, Dr. May. We didn't know how else to get in contact with you."
"Oh yes, Jin! He asked for my number so he could call me to go fishing with him someday. I guess that's not why you're here, right?"
"Not really, Dr. May. We came to talk to you and Dr. Rose for a different matter." Namjoon answers, mentioning Rose's name in a reminder that she isn't here.
"Oh, speaking of Rosie, her room is by the end of the hall, so she shouldn't take too long to get here. I guess the timezone is beating her up." Eric says over an awkward chuckle, as if he knows the actual reason she's late, and it's not jet lag.
"Now that you mentioned, why did you and Rose come to Korea in the first place?" Namjoon asks of her again, his excessive curiosity making me a bit unquiet.
