Idol? Ex? Doctor? What? - english version

Part XXVI

Kim Jisoo 

"Look who's back! My favorite doctor." the director says as soon as I enter the meeting room "You enjoy your time, didn't you? It seems like this vacation of yours lasted for years."

"It's only been 3 months." I roll my eyes as I sit next to Soojoo who looks like she's about to kill someone. "But what happened that was so important or serious?"

"Apparently, you have become a reference in the world of famous and now all companies are sending idols here, to deal with you." He lets out an amused chuckle and I shift in my chair.

"Not everyone has the same thing or is my specialty, I don't think..."

"Kim, you managed to hide very well for so many years, but I think your vacation from these people is over. Everyone is curious about you. I had to change my phone number because of the press."

"I'm sorry about that, but I don't know what I can do to..."

"I'll create a new department here, just to deal with cases of idols that need secrecy. You and Hong will be the bosses and can recruit whatever specialties you need. From plastic surgery to therapy, everything idol related will be up to you." He gives a huge smile.

"But creating a new department is expensive, we don't have space, besides, there aren't so many idols needing medical help." something tells me this is not good.

"The 3 big idol agencies will pay for all of this, we only came with the specialized service."

"Wait, what? Did you create a health care delivery service for idols just because they're pumping money? This is crazy, there are people who come here every day needing help and can't even afford it..."

"Kim, let's use part of the money to provide free services to the population, ok? You can stop playing heroin for a moment."

"Right." I say after a few minutes in silence and let out a sigh. "Is there already a schedule or appointments scheduled?"

"Yes, your first appointment will be at the end of your time and with someone you know very well." He gives me a mischievous smile.

"Who?"

"Im Nayeon." He winks at me and I swallow hard.

********************************************

In one of my many fights with Soojoo while we were still dating, I went out to a ballad that I knew few people would recognize me for. What I didn't expect was to meet Nayeon there.

She was also hurting for someone. We started drinking, drinking a lot, I think it was one of the days I drank the most and when I realized what was happening I was waking up in a room that wasn't mine and with someone who wasn't my girlfriend.

I got out as fast as possible and I haven't seen Nayeon since that day she came to visit Jennie in the hospital. And now I'm here, staring at the phone for when they let me know she's arrived.

I don't even know why I'm feeling nervous.

Lie.

I know she and Jennie are friends and I'm scared of what will happen if Jennie finds out what's already happened between me and Nayeon, even though I can't remember anything and even though it's been a while.

"You're seductive when you're in neverland." I hear a familiar voice next to me and my eyes widen when I see that Nayeon is in my room.

"What the hell are you doing here, Bunny?" I get up from my chair and run my hand over my face.

"Sooya" she starts to laugh "You look like you saw a ghost."

"If you only knew..." I let out a sigh as I put on the coat "Let's go down."

"Don't worry, it's great here." she throws herself on the couch.

"Bunny, here..."

"There's a rumor going around in the kpop world that you and Jennie are together." she cuts me off and I open my mouth several times, trying to think of what to say. "Is it true then?"

"Yes." I cross my arms and lean against the table. "So let's make your appointment right here, what are you feeling?"

"There's something in my stomach that keeps turning." She sighs and sits on the couch.

"Do you mind explaining it to me better? With more details? Remember when it started?"

"Yeah, it started when the rumors started. I'M BITING ME OUT OF CURIOSITY AND YOU'LL TELL ME EVERYTHING, KIM JISOO!" She jumps up and approaches me "Don't even think about trying to escape, we're going out now to eat something and you'll tell me EVERYTHING!"

"But I can't go out now, you have to consult and..."

"For God's sake, I just made this up as an excuse to meet you and we can gossip, now come on young lady, you have a lot to tell me about Jensoo being back at sea."

"Jensoo? What?"

"You two are my favorite and most real shipp, so it's obvious that you'll tell me everything. You're not getting rid of me, Turtle Rabbit." she winks and opens the door.
