Bad Reputation (In A Relationship With EXO DO✅)

Fourteen

It was around 6 in the morning.

Sirens went off. Soldiers lined up for the introduction to the new medical team. I saw the clock, and hurried my things into the bag, while placing the supplements in a pouch. I wanted to leave these nutritional products here for Kyungsoo. As I zipped my bag, and opened the door, I was met with Hwanhee.

She was also dragging her suitcase towards the exit. I nodded at her, and we both almost jogged down the hallway and then out of the door to see our medical team gathered there. Ray was talking to the commander, I guess? We all had masks on, and social distancing. Our country was going through a covid testing phase, so that the virus spread could be controlled on time.

As the cases were surging, now that the testing was being done, we were called back into the hospital as army medical team took control here. My eyes searched for Kyungsoo, but didn't find him nearby. Maybe he was training? The formalities were done, and the soldiers gathered to give us a formal farewell.

My eyes met Kyungsoo's as he stood on the other side of mine. I tried to imprint his heart shaped smile in my eyes as I was pulled by Hwanhee to click one last picture at the location. Our helicopter arrived there in a few moments, and I sent a message to him about supplements. We haven't been able to meet for the past few days because of the change in rules, and increased work load, and now, we didn't get to say proper goodbye, but I was glad to see him before my departure.

Ray and Hwanhee got onto the helicopter and when it was my turn, I had a quick glance at Kyungsoo as I waved him goodbye. Most soldiers thought that it was for everyone, but Kyungsoo's eyes smiled, and he nodded so slowly that if I wasn't observing him as I was, I would have missed it. I kept looking out of the window as we took the flight. His view diminished with passing seconds and I felt my eyes tearing up.

All the time we shared here, secret meetings, oblivious attractions, small smiles, heart felt conversations, accepting each other, giving in and falling apart... It all happened in the span of months, and it seemed like I was leaving a part of me here, in Kyungsoo's hands. Call me greedy, but I wanted to run into his arms and never let him go.

He had become a part of me. Of my being.

Some people might love idols because of their visuals and their idol images, their talents, but for me, Kyungsoo was my soul person. No talent of his, no fault of his could make me feel otherwise. I didn't know what future had stored in for us, like everyone, I had stepped into the uncertainty of the God's best. But I knew one thing.

That no matter what happens, how much our feelings, our personalities, us change... I would forever cherish Kyungsoo. If it wasn't obvious yet, then yes, I was madly in love with him. It was dramatic to confess this emotion to myself when I was in the flight, going away from the very person, whom I loved to bits, but that's what made us humans. Didn't it?

Realisation always had come late.

I unlocked my phone, and stared at our only picture together. Then, my phone beeped, and I smiled when saw his message flashing on the screen.

KyuDo
Let's meet when the worst is over. Stay healthy. We will see each other soon.

Me
Let's do that :)

Now that I think, that was the last moment and peaceful interaction we had together before the hell broke loose. I and my medical team, we all were tested as soon as we landed in Seoul, and went under fourteen days mandatory quarantine. Then we went back to work.

Sleepless nights. Regular ER. Hospital shifts. Surgeries. Traumatic experiences of watching people loose their loved ones. Of trying hard and still failing to save people. In those few months, we doctors became each other's support. Cheering one another for doing our best, for giving our all. That was all we could do, right?
