In Good Hands

Prologue

Attention!! This is a disclaimer.

This story is all in my imagination. If ever that I have the same story already feel free to message me so that I can change the story right away.

What will going to happen in my story about inside the hospital is happening in real life but it doesn't mean that it applies to all hospitals and Doctors. I will not include all of happenings inside the hospital but I will share what is my experience during my everyday duties in the hospital.

And again, this story is all in my imagination. I don't know someone who's experiencing about this. This is all just what I imagined during those times that I am resting in the quarters. This is just a story in my mind but at the same time what happens inside the hospital happens to some in real life.

Thank you for understanding.

________________________________________________________________________________

After my 6 hours surgery, my co-doctors friends decided to go the bar. It's a bar near the hospital where I am working and a go to bar of almost all doctors in that hospital. 

My friend, who is a doctor also, and I sat on the stool in the bar with some familiar doctors who's drinking their stress away after a long duty. 

We are just talking about my divorce with my ex-husband who happens to be a doctor in the same field and hospital as mine. In short, we are working together but he's just a year younger than me. Our marriage happened to be a sudden decision for the both of us because we just thought that we're destined to be growing old together for the reason that we both have the same life and vibes. But it came out different. Just because we're both happy with other doesn't mean that we are better together. We still don't know each other in different aspects that we both know being married is not the answer to work out together.

"How are you holding up?" Rose, from cardio surgery, a friend of mine asked the moment we got our drink.

"I-I don't know but yeah I think I'm okay." I answered then drink from my glass.

"It's still about the divorce?" She asked again after she sips on her glass.

"I guess." I answered and then empty the glass of whiskey. "And I know that we ended in a good way. You know it's both our decision because we both know that if we stay married it will do no good for us." I added and asked for another shot.

"I think it's though that you both decided to end it." She agreed to me. "But do you really love him?" She asked that caught me off guard and think about it.

"I-I do." I stuttered.

"Or you just love the idea that you both have the same life? And just decided to get married in a span of 4 months in relationship." She added that made me really think about us while we were in a relationship. 

Maybe. Maybe I just like the Idea of how he understand my life outside the hospital because we almost have the same situation. That I think that marrying him is the right decision while we were both drunk the time we decided. And yes, we were drunk the night that we decided to get married the next day but I didn't regret it. It's just that it's not how it works, the married life.

"Y-yeah. Maybe." I said after I emptied the glass again. "I'll just go to the restroom." I added and didn't wait for her to answer and went straight to the restroom.

After I peed, I went to the sink and wash my face. Because I didn't notice that I was crying. I didn't know why I was crying. Maybe it's normal when you just got ended your marriage. While I am wiping my face with a tissue paper, I heard the door opened indicating that someone just entered. I finished wiping face and took a deep breath before looking myself in a mirror and saw the woman enter.

"Hey." She greet calling my attention since we're the only one inside.

"Hey." I greeted back then throw the tissue in the bin.

"From Ortho, right?" She asked. Smiling at me.

"Yeah. Right. Hi." I said as I face her and smiled back.

"I'm Jennie Kim ped surgery." She introduced herself. "I've seen you at the hospital." She added. "Are you okay?" She added again. Maybe she noticed my eyes.

"Yeah. I'm fine. You know I'm fine." I answered her and smile again.

"People talk where we work, they talk a lot." She said making me confused. "For the sake of being honest I think I should tell you that I know things about you because people talk." She added.

"Oh. You mean.. Uhm.. Terrific." I said unsure of what I felt when I know that people are talking about me. 

"It is terrific." She agreed. "But people really like you over there. You know, they respect you, they are concerned and interested. Some of them they really really like you." She added that I think she's joking because she's all smiley while talking. I just laugh at what she's saying.

"Y-you look upset. You should know the talk is good." She starts talking again. It's annoying because she's just smiling at me while she's talking and I just keep nodding at her. "And when you're not upset when you're being over upset." She stops and suddenly looks at me seriously.

"There will be people lining up for you." She added that made me chuckle at her joke.

"Hahaha." I laugh at her. "You wanna give me some names?" I asked then laugh at her again. Seriously? I am divorced who would want that fast.

But what she did caught me off guard and made me stiff. She suddenly close gap between us and pull my nape then kiss my lips for a few seconds and pull out looking straight at my eyes.

"I think you'll know." The only thing she said before she left me inside the bathroom.

She left me thinking of what just happened. I feel that I like the kiss. This is the first time that I've been kissed by a woman. And I think that liked it but I just shrugged it off. I'm straight. I should be mad about what she did but all I can think is to just avoid her in the hospital because I know myself. When I like it I think I will be the one to initiate the kiss when I talk to her again.
