HARD | A Beomgyu FF

6 | Dr. Kim

"Nice to meet you too Dr. Kim."

I reply quietly.

The doctor gives me a soft smile, patting my shoulder.

How embarrassing, having a break down in front of your new doctor, before you even stepped into the room as well! Talk about first impressions!

I mentally shake him off, and watch the broad shouldered doctor as he goes behind his desk and reaches down, unlocking something before bringing out a large folder.

I recognize it as the folder I had regularly seen for 12 years of my life, the folder that holds all my deepest and darkest secrets.

Dr. Kim opens the folder, Ryewook taking a seat next to me, before flipping through it.

He suddenly looks up at me midway and smiles at me encouragingly.

I quickly return it before going back to my thoughts.

This place is massive. I don't know what my feelings are about it.

Should I love it?

Should I hate it?

"Ah here we go. Sorry about that Yeonjun, I just had to see something in your file quickly. But anyways, first of all, how are you guys?"

"Good." Ryewook replies.

"And how about you Yeonjun?"

I just nod.

"I see. Bit nervous, huh?"

I just lower my head and nod.

That must seem stupid. I grew up in a hospital.

I shouldn't be scared.

"OK, so can I ask how you're feeling, health-wise?"

I look up without raising my head.

The new doctor is calmly looking at me, waiting for my answer.

"Yeah, good." I say.

"Okay...how about your asthma? Has it acted up at all recently?"

I keep my eyes firmly glued to my lap.

I know it has, but it nothing to make a big deal out of.

Just seasonal allergies.

"Yes it has, early last week. It wasn't terrible, but at the same time it wasn't mild."

Ryewook jumps in for me, realizing that I'm not answering.

"Right.."

I hear a pen click and the soft scratch of a pen on paper.

"Actually, Yeonjun did you bring a spare set of your asthma equipment? It's fine if you didn't, we have plenty here, but I just need to know, so I can give you one if you haven't."

I glance at the doctor sitting next to me.

"It slipped Yeonjun's memory, so I brought it so he didn't have to worry about it."

Ryewook again.

"K and - "

I suddenly feel disorientated.

"Yeonjun, your okay. Your okay."

I hear Ryewooks voice but it sounds weird, like I'm underwater; I feel a hand rubbing my thigh and an arm around my shoulder.

I can feel one of my shoulders twitching but I can't do anything to stop it.

I'm suddenly back to normal again, and I look up to see Ryewook rubbing my thigh and Dr. Kim with his arm around me.
