"Aww, Cutie, Don't be scared, yes... Like that. Open your mouth."

Your patient today, who's named Eva  that you've learnt. Her body was extremely fragile and weak. If you can describe it, you will only say she looked like she hasn't been eating well at all.

"Urvi, she looks scared. She doesn't want to listen to you." You give your intern a look, not for telling you off, but for calling you by name.

"I mean doctor." Jungkook corrects himself before passing Eva's parent a friendly smile. The mother seemed somewhat unbothered. Jungkook positions himself by catching his knee and tilting his face with a friendly smile to Eva.

"Hello dear! So, I'm Jung-no, Kookie."

You see Eva's attention being grabbed by her eyes cautiously travelling to Jungkook. "Cookie?" She asks with a quiet, shy voice.

"Yes! This Kookie can get you a lot of cookies! Do you want it?" He asks, you pause just to admire Jungkook and the girl's interaction with a cheesy smile plastered on your face.

"Doctor, I'm sorry but you are wasting our time." The mother roars, making Eva jump and grab Jungkook's muscular arm fearingly and hides her face behind Jungkook. Jungkook struggled not to talk back to the lady for scaring the girl. He definitely doubted whether or not she was the one who was behind Eva's lost smile.

"I am sorry." You apologise to the parent. You also noticed Eva being scared of her mum. After all, this is the third time they are visiting you.

"Can Kookie do your check up and then we can go grab some cookies?" Jungkook sweetly asks, ignoring her mum. Eva nods. Jungkook asks you for permission and you instantly approve. If you are meant to mentor him, then he's definitely doing a great job.

After the check-up, you prescribe some medicine along with the advice of how her mother shouldn't be too strict on her diet. Since it's clearly showing how her 'healthy' diet isn't being accepted by Eva's body.

Eva has been going to ballet lessons for two years now, and the little kid is only six years old. The diet that her mother trying to follow is giving Eva a hard time. She needs to eat, or else this beautiful girl might crumble.

Jungkook excused himself to go outside for a few seconds. When they were about to take the leave after the consulting session, Jungkook appears once again, this time with a bag of cookies. "Here you go, princess!" He kneels down to give her the bag. She smiles almost immediately, excited to see the delicious goods before her.

"No, she can't have that." Mrs Kim shouts.

"Mrs Kim." Jungkook prevents the lady. You were clueless which is why you remained quiet. Mrs Kim pauses and glances at Jungkook irritatedly. "Can you stop becoming irresponsible and actually make an effort to take care of your daughter. Sorry, your stepdaughter."

You were baffled at Jungkook's change in attitude. This is not how you should behave with your patient's parents. You internally panic before emitting a nervous laugh and command Jungkook to settle.

"Excuse me?? How dare you point in my personal life?"

Ah oh.

"I'm just telling you as a doctor. I get, you love your time, but you should try to love your daughter as well."

"I can't believe this, I am reporting you doctor Jeon."

Jungkook forwards a confident smile. "I am just an Intern as of now. I can simply say, I was just challenging your approach of treating your kid since this is the 4th time now. But, next time my parents get invited to your party, I can tell your husband just how much of a kind mother you are to his daughter!" You were most certainly out of words at Jungkook's bold talk. "Having a hobby is good, but do not force your daughter to attend your stupid ballet lessons if she doesn't enjoy it."
