"If it wasn't for her, he would have never believed in love."

With the earpods in her ears, Lily simply strolls into the lab. She has to write the thesis with meticulous research and observation. The incident of the lift was crazy. She spoke to the security, he informed her that he must be one of the soldiers.

Why I didn't think of that? She thought.

Lily smacks her subconscious mind aside and switches the lights on, humming a song. She places her files down on the desk but the rummaging sound captures her scrutiny. She tilts her head to check near the closet and a gasp circumvents her parted lips.

A man dressed in hospital garments stares at her, settled on a chair.

"A-are you lost sir?" She asks him cautiously, her gaze wanders up and down his bulky frame and halts on the knife in his hand. Her body goes rigid.

What in the world is happening with me today?

She abducts a step back, ready to storm out of the room.

"Don't move! Stay there!" The anonymous man warns. His bloodshot eyes stare at her in utter restoring then he hisses glancing at the blood which is percolating out of his bandaged arm.

Lily's eyes drop on the hydrochloric acid, inches away from her hand.

"I am tired of my life but I still want to leave," she let out a nervous laugh making his eyes obscure even more.

Shut up, Lily.

Before she can come up with another lame reason for why he should not kill her, the door burst open, and the Taehyung brags in. His eyes met hers, the blue pools dilate witnessing the scene unfolding.

The man with the knife sprint towards Lily, in a panic she grabs the test tube of acid and aimed just at his hand. A loud roaring scream echoes in the room and she get harshly pulled by someone in a tight embrace. Her heart pounds, body trembles against his. She seldom tilts her head to look back at the man but Taehyung clasps her head and stuffs it in his chest. He doesn't want her to see how the spectacle appears. For a normal person, it isn't pleasant sight but he momentarily forgot she is a doctor.

"Don't look" he mummers in her hair. Her strawberry scent irritates his senses, they are so pressed again each other that he felt her heart thumping just like his heart is, he knew the reason well. But he settles with the excuse of running. Yes. He ran here earlier and that's the only reason his heart is racing.

A shudder scampers through Lily sniffing his zest scent. Lily couldn't interpret what happened in just two minutes. But the first thing that crosses her mind is, patient.

The man is hurt and she has to treat him.

"I have seen the worst. I need to treat him," She pushes Taehyung away with wobbly hands, taking a look at the man. He is unconscious. Just like she aimed, the acid burned his hand. She might get in trouble for that wild stunt, but in her justification, she was just fending herself.

"Are you crazy? You can't go near him!" Taehyung tugs on her coat as he knew touching her would make her uncomfortable, he blocks her path Lily lifts her head, seeing him towering over her.

"Mr. Please move aside. We must save him, criminal or not" she walks past him, "Nurse! Anyone there?"

Lily grabs the bottle of water and spills it on the burns, the first step to treat a burn patient. (Kindy don't pull this feat at home)

Raucous rungs approach the lab and two young men dashes in along with nurses and an intern with a gatch bed.

"Check his pulse!" Lily exclaims as she critically peels off the fabric stuck on his skin.

"126 BPM!" The nurse tells her.

"Mind giving us a hand," Lily glimpses at the three men who stand watching them.

Taehyung walks towards their hustling bodies followed by Jimin and Hoseok. Lily moves away as they pick the man up and place him on the bed.

Taehyung stares at her as she rushes the smuggler out of the room with other medical interns.

"Well, what the hell happened?" Jimin asks, tugging his gun away. Taehyung does the same.

"She threw acid over his hand."

"What were you doing when she did that?" Hobi shoots him an anticipating glance.

I was watching her.

"I was backing her up of course!" Taehyung assets since they don't need to know that unintentionally he hugged her. Yes, it was unintended, believe it or not.

They walk out of the lab, Taehyung looks around for her then decides to ask someone where she is.

"Excuse me, do you know where Dr. Lily and the VIP patient are?"

"They are in the Emergency Department, just walk straight. You will find it," the nurse points at the last unit at the end. Taehyung mutters thank you and walks through the brisk aisles of hospitals.

"You know her name?" Jimin swings his hand over his best friend's shoulder and puts on a provocative smirk.

"It was carved on her badge," Taehyung nudges him away. It is true. He read it when she mistook him for some psychopath killer, but still, it's out of his comprehension that why she jumped on his back.

The boys were just gonna step inside the Emergency unit but right then she walks out.

"He...he is fine?" Taehyung meets her eyes and his heart strangely picks up a pace. She briefly looks at him then at his friends.

"Yeah, he must be. They are treating his hand."

"Hello, I am Park Jimin," his best friend extends his hand. She places her hand in his with a faint smile. Not too welcoming, not too upright, just a polite smile.

" I am Jung Hoseok," she shakes her hand with the other one with a similar polite smile.

"I am Song Lily," her eyes settle on Taehyung's bleeding arm then she gestures him to follow her.

"You need to get that treated. Follow me."

"Go!" Jimin pushes Taehyung behind her and he scowls at him. The last thing Taehyung wants is Jimin being his wingman. He is a shit wingman. Once he set Taehyung up with a married woman and once with a lesbian. 

"Bu-

"Come on. Did you forget about tonight's party? You need a date! Ask her!" He whisper-yells, again shoving poor Taehyung behind her.

"She won't even know my name!" Taehyung protests pushing Jimin's hand away from his chest. Hell, she just knew him for the past two hours (one hour twenty-three minutes to be precise) and he knows she won't agree. He will just be making fool out of himself.

"Then go and tell her idiot! If the stars are on your side you might be a lucky asshole to get her number or more" Hobi urges and they shoo their captain away.

Taehyung reluctantly follows her, clearly not to have anything more. She is treating him cause she is a doctor. Yeah. That's right.

Jimin and Hobi watch their captain walking like a penguin in her office and at least attempt not to laugh.
