Latched

Chapter 81: Confession

A confused Yukino continues blinking while looking at the grinning Sanzu who has a completely different look. She is thinking hard whether she heard things right.

"Stop looking at me like I just said something ridiculous, Doctor." The man says and grinned even wider. This kind of irked the brunette because she's not used to the man's new look. It's just so weird. But she assumed that since what he looks like was leaked to the public, he couldn't walk around like he used to.

"You shouldn't have come here. What if somebody followed you? What if your enemies target our hospital?" She asks with a huge frown.

"There you go again with your 'what ifs'. I had plenty of guards. Besides, you need my help. How can I say no?" The man playfully added. Just as he said, she went to look for him a week ago. But he openly tried to ignore her, and even rejected everything she said. And so, she just decided to cut ties with the man again. She didn't even mention to anyone what she did which was so utterly stupid. Consequently, the man stands before her now.

"I thought you didn't want to. What made you change your mind?" The brunette asks indifferently. The pink-haired doesn't quite understand but he's getting turned on with the woman's coldness towards him.

"I get to help." The man playfully chuckled, which annoyed the doctor.

"Kidding~" The man continued and smirked to her.

"I get to see you again. So I decided to share my blood to the munchkin." This frowned the lady's eyebrows even more.

"And oh, by the way..." The man starts again and took an envelope from inside his coat. This gesture made the woman flinch, out of fear that the man would do something. Again.

"Relax. I want to show you this." Her pair of gray eyes went to the white envelope, before meeting his blue eyes.

"What is this?" She asks while opening the envelope. And there, she sees a lab result prepared and duly signed by an expert in AIDS, an Infectious Disease Specialist who was based in US. The date mentioned that the document was released yesterday. In this detailed document, it is stated that his urine, saliva, and blood were tested. And it all similarly indicate...

"Aside from being AB negative, I am also AIDS negative, Doctor. Which means I can donate blood." The man proudly says with a huge smile. While the man is smiling, she couldn't help but look at him, particularly his mouth...without his most prominent feature, his diamond scars.

"Well, I can donate blood now, right? Let's do it~" The man exclaimed excitedly, which made the woman exhale.

"Hold your horses. I need to perform the tests myself." The woman coldly added, and walked to the cabinet, and took a lab coat. She is removing her beige coat silently with her back facing the man, when she suddenly feels a breath on her ear.

"Didn't I tell you not to undress in front of a man?" She almost jumped out before turning around, making her stand on guard. But the man just stood behind her with his usual grin.

"You will seem like you're seducing me. Are you seducing me?" The man's pair of blue eyes eyed her sexily, which made her uncomfortable.

"Not a chance. Will you just take your seat?" She says irritated. This made the man hum amusingly and walks back to his seat from earlier. Yukino collected herself first before walking to the other cabinet to get a pair of gloves, syringe, and empty vial. Upon securing those, she walked back to the man.

"Please remove your coat, Sanzu-kun." As she said this, the man smirked playfully. Next, while staring into her gray eyes, he unbuttoned his coat, and put it on the table beside him. Then, he started fixing his sleeves revealing his veiny forearm, huge hands, and his Bonten tattoo. He did all these without breaking eye contact with the woman, attempting to make her feel things on the inside. Something he is so good at.
