"Mark" Sulwon open her eyes, her voice sour and her foot wrap in more bandage than she last remembered. "Sulwon, you're awake. The surgery went well and the doctor said in a few months of resting you can dance again so don't worry about anything"

"Jaemin" She mumbles surprising Mark. "Call Jaemin, please" She look at Mark. "I'm here, tell me what you need. I'll give it to you" Mark stood up. "I need Jaemin." She repeats. "Alright, I'll contact him"

Mark exit the room. He spent about 10 minutes on phone speaking to Jaemin to come before returning in the room. He sat down on his chair sighing. "Jaemin said he's coming. He's probably preparing right now" Mark informs. "Do you need anything else?"

"Jaemin, you're here" Mark calls making Sulwon open her eyes. Her eyes hit Jaemin right away who only walk towards her bed. "Hey, you good?" Jaemin casually ask. "I'll leave you two alone" Mark stood up exiting the room. Sulwon sat up, her eyes stinging with tears right away.

"Why did you not come?!" She cries. "What?" Jaemin sat on her bed. "I was looking for you while going in the OR" She adds. "Sorry, I didn't know I had to come. I feel like I shouldn't" Jaemin held her hand which she tighten her hold onto. "Do you need anything else?" Jaemin repeats Mark's question. "Water"

"Mark was here. Why did you have to look for me?" Jaemin smiles pushing some of her hair away from her face. "He feels suffocating to be with suddenly" Sulwon explains shortly. "He likes you so like him too" Jaemin sighs looking down on his hand. "I know that. My mother kept trying to hit me up with him"

"Your brother, I saw him in the OR. Is that the reason he's always away from the campus?" She ask. "Yes, that's right. He's on his first year of residency. But he's good, isn't he?" Jaemin proudly ask. "Yes, he's so good. And he said he'll take care of me" Sulwon answers. "Jaehyun and Mark will take care of you so you don't have to worry about anything"

"I'm more worried if you actually like me and you're just denying it because of some reason. It's really hard to get in your side" Sulwon stares at Jaemin. "You are in my side. I'm rejecting your feelings, Sulwon" His eyes shakes. This is so hard for him, he likes Sulwon so much but considering how many good people are around the woman, he can't help but compare himself into how better they are than him.

Jaemin exits the room, shutting the door behind him. His eyes immediately spot Mark on the chair beside the door, sitting alone and is staring at the floor like it will open and eat him up alive. "What did you do?" Mark stood up, meeting his height. "I just talk to Sulwon, nothing else"

"I asked her the same thing. Same question do you need anything else? I asked her the same thing, the same as you ask her the moment I leave. I've been wondering what do you have that I don't." Mark glares at him. "I should be the one saying that, you have loads of thing that I could never own"

"But you have Sulwon!" Mark shouts, his chest moving as he catch his breath out of anger. "What's the use of having all that goddammit achievement and loads of money if the woman I like is looking at someone else? Answer me, Genius and future surgeon Na Jaemin. Tell me"

"I don't like Sulwon"

"And you think you not liking her will put an end to this? For whole 3 hours she's in the surgery and for whole 2 hours before she awoke I was beside her! Not you! I am! But the moment she opens her eyes, her first words were your name. Your fucking name! She was looking for you, I wanted to tell her that I was the one beside her why is she looking for you but at the same time, I don't even know why I contacted you from the first place!"

"Are you trying to put things up that it's my fault? I never ask her to like me. You don't know how jealous I am of you, you don't know how much I want to keep up with you and you don't know how much I want to embrace her when I rejected her feelings! I like Sulwon so much but I had to set aside what I'm feeling because of some stupid reason. I don't even know why I have to feel so insecure of you when it was me whom Sulwon likes"

"Everyone around her were so much better than me. You can take care of her better than me, you have money and your future is set already. As for me, do you think there's a future waiting for me?"

"There's nothing waiting for me. That answers why I don't want Sulwon in my path. Take Sulwon with you and leave me. I don't care" Jaemin push Mark's chest. "Na Jaemin, are you messing with me because of your dead mom's death?" Mark ask making Jaemin only annoy as he is right now. Jaemin kept his composure, controlling himself. "Stop using your dead mom card just to justify what you're trying to state"

"I'm not using the dead mom card so you better stop mentioning her. Or I'll lose my cool" He glares at the older. "I can't believe my brother is friends with a jerk like you. Do you always pull this kind of stunt to him? No wonder he rarely mention Mark Lee and his roommate"

"Mark Lee who can never satisfy a girl's heart"

"What did you say? Did you forget that I'm your senior? One word from me and it's your end" Mark threaten. "Go on, say that one word. I could care less. Just remember, at the end of the day.."

"Sulwon likes me, not you"

"Shut it, you fucker" Mark was fast to grip on his collar, his mad face right in front of his eyesight. "I bet that anger you, isn't it?" Jaemin scoffs. "Let go of me, sunbaenim" Jaemin clearly speaks yanking Mark's grip on his collar. He adjust his shirt turning his heels.

Jaemin slam the door close, throwing his jacket across the room. Startling Haechan, his roommate who was busy doing his thesis. "What's wrong? Why are you so mad?" Haechan stood up approaching the door. "I apologize, I'm sorry for the noise" Haechan bows to the other student who went out due to the noise Jaemin has created.

"Hey, what's wrong? Tell me" Haechan raise his voice. "Will you believe me if I say Mark Lee just fought with me?" He ask sitting on his chair. "What happened? Is it about Sulwon?" Haechan ask which he nods as answer. "It's Sulwon so, yeah he'll really fight with you"

"You see Mark and Sulwon are friends or not. Nobody knows if they're just friends or not but Mark seems to have something with her. It's too obvious that he like her but Sulwon don't like him so yeah, you got the chance" Haechan raps through his words making only Jaemin annoy as he is right now. "He threatened me"

"Who? Mark? With what?"

"He said one word from him and it's my end. I won't be surprise if in the next minute some rumor is already spreading about me" Jaemin stares at his laptop. "Actually, there's already one. And it was posted like 4 hour ago but you just return?"

"4 hour ago? What does it say?" He calmly ask. "Na Jaemin, trying to use the club's fund for his women. What the fuck? I'm the president" Haechan glares at his phone. "If it's posted 4 hours ago, it means it's not Mark. It's someone else" He state. "Why are you not faze? Bro, some weird rumor is going around"

"I don't care. It will die down soon." He shrug. "Yeah? Do you think it will really die down soon? Cause I can feel stare from outside. I feel like there's a crowd waiting behind me and for us to come out" Haechan said before their door were burst open by Jeno. "Are you okay?"

"Yes...?" Jaemin mumbles. "You fucker! What if this affects your defense?!" Jeno scolds. "I don't know! Don't ask me, I'm so confuse right now" He whines closing his eyes. "You know this will affect your upcoming residency, right?" Jeno ask surprising Haechan as well. "It won't. I'll make sure it won't" He mask up his nervousness. "How?"

"I'll solve it myself"
