Because Maybe, They Were Right

"Hey, Jeong"

"What's up, Park?"

"Have you heard about the news?"

"What news?"

The two doctors were walking down to their office when Jihyo opened up the conversation.

"Well, apparently a new doctor's coming" Jihyo said as they took a turn down to the left hallway in the west wing of the third floor of the hospital building. This specific floor is purposely made for the doctors' offices and quarters including the residents. This is also where the hospital's conference hall is located. And also the director's office.

"That's great news. Do you know which department?" Jeongyeon asked.

"Pediatrics."

As Jihyo answered, they entered Jeongyeon's office.

"Really? We're fine in the pediatrics, though. I thought they're looking for additional physiologist."

"What are you two talking about?"

Both Jeongyeon and Jihyo jumped when someone beside them suddenly spoke.

"What the fuck, Nayeon?!" Jihyo screamed as she send death glares on Nayeon's direction. "You scared the shit out of me."

"You should stop drinking coffee, Park. Now, what were you two talking about?" Nayeon asked as she casually lay on the couch inside Jeongyeon's office. While the owner sat on the swivel chair.

"Jihyo was telling me about the new doctor that's about to come in our department."

"Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you about that. The Director mentioned it when he called a sudden brief meeting yesterday when you took an off. We didn't talk about anything though. He just said someone's coming in and we have to welcome her." Nayeon explained.

"And also, Director said that he wants her to work beside you. For the mean time, at least. Just for her to warm up in the place. He doesn't trust Nayeon."

"Fuck you, Jihyo."

"Later, Im."

Jeongyeon laughed. This exchange is already normal for her. Since Jihyo gets easily irritated and Nayeon can get too playful sometimes, it's become a norm for them to get in each other's nerves.

"You mentioned it's a her." She stated while taking out something from her bag.

"Yes. And she's from Japan by the way." it was Jihyo who answered. Now also sitting on the sofa.

"What's that?" Nayeon asked a question directed to Jeongyeon. Who is now holding a lunch box and a tumblr. The two doctors on the couch stared at her with confusion. Because for all they know, the only edible thing that Jeongyeon ever brought with her in the hospital is a piece of bagel and a cup of coffee.

"Food?" Jeongyeon answered.

"When did you ever took time and effort to pack your own food?" Jihyo asked as if she's grown a third head.

"I didn't make it. Sana did." she casually answered as she started to dig in to what looks like is a kimbap rolls with side cut up fruits and a few pieces of cookies. Her drink is a water with a sliced lemon and mint leaf.

"Oh Sana."

Nayeon and Jihyo stifled their laughs. While Jeongyeon just looked at hem confused. As if asking what the wto are laughing for.

"Oh nothing. We just think it's so domestic."

"And cute."

"Oh shut up, you two. I already know where this is going." Jeongyeon groaned as she took a sip from her water.
