Emergency room was quite busy but that's also the reason why Jin likes the place. It makes him forget all the challenges he has in his life. It makes him forget the pain of the past and just focus on work.

Hoseok would always tell him that he needs to rest and look for some other hobby aside from work but work just keeps him sane. However, for the past few days, he's cery careful with his actions as he feels like he is being watched.

Jin was about to go on his lunch when a delivery person went to the emergency room.

"That is a delivery for who." Nurse Choi asked.

"Mr. Kim Seokjin." The delivery man said.

Jin was stretching currently and he stopped when he heard his name. He looked at the delivery and he saw bouquet of flowers.

Staff started teasing him and he immediately blushed just because they were focus on him.

Nurse Choi advised the delivery man to whom the flowers should be given and so he went to him.

"Who requested for this, Sir?" Jin asked.

"It's an anonymous sender." The delivery man said.

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Sir." He said as he checked the flowers.

He looked at the card.

I hope the flowers would make you smile.

He frowned, not really knowing the reason why he would receive such. He shrugged and decided to take it to the quarters.

He was still busy looking at the flowers when Yugyeom bumped into him.

"Oh, Dr. Kim! I'm sorry-- oh, those are nice flowers." He said upon seeing the bouquet.

Jin hid them and blushed.

"I would think you have a suitor?"

"N-not really like that---"

"Jin! Omo! Taehyung chose the right flowers! They are so nice!" Hoseok said when he saw him.

Jin looked at his friend and the flowers. "T-these are f-from Taehyung?" He asked.

Yugyeom smirked secretly. "Hm, Dr. Kim Taehyung gave you those flowers?" He asked Jin.

"I d-don't k---"

"They must be!" Hoseok said getting near at Jin and picking up the card. "He asked Namjoon yesterday about the flower shop where he usually buys me flowers and this was the exact flowe shop."

"I see. I didn't mean to be nosy. I should leave you, doctors. Nice to see you." Yugyeom said.

When he was far from them Jin glared at Hoseok.

"I am sure this is not from Taehyung." He said to him.

"I am sure they are from him. Why don't you ask him?"

"I won't talk to him." Jin said stomping towards the quarters.

"Hey! You should we'll be taking lunch together!" Hoseok said following Jin.

When they arrived at the quarters, Jin put the flowers on the table and looked at it again before leaving.

"It indeed made you smile." Hoseok noted as he waited for Jin while leaning on the door. Jin is smiling at the flower, he observed.

"They are nice. However, I am sure they are not from Taehyung. He said he is not a fan of giving flowers because they die anyway." Jin said answering his friend before taking his wallet.

"Yeah, but what if he is giving these to pursue you again. I swear I heard him ask Namjoon about the flower shop yesterday."

"He is not approaching me for years, that means he won't now."

"Maybe he thought he can't lose you to Jungkook now that the big man is here. By the way, did you see how big he is now? I mean, muscle wise. He must be working out a lot. Namjoon's already big, but Jungkook is like big big." Hoseok said while they were walking towards the cafeteria.

"I am not looking, Hoseok."

"Come on, give him some attention! You two should talk, you know. You were so close before and I don't think you should just leave the friendship you have built for years just like that."

"Hoseok, I fell in love with my best friend. That's the first wrong thimg about that relationship." Jin said.

"Well, unless you have feelings still for him, I still think you should approach him. Although, that Yugyeom is like a snake who's always entangled to him. I tried inviting Jungkook for coffee but he declined. I hope you can make him talk to you, though. He was still our friend at some point and the two of you in the same department is giving an awkward vibe if you guys won't talk."

"Maybe if he'll stop snatching my patients from me, I will consider talking to him." Jin said angrily.

"Exactly the reason why you two should talk. It's been what? 4 years since you last saw each other? Even with what happened, I am sure that you two can resolve it. You were like twins before and now the two of you act as if you never knew each other."

"It's better this way." Jin said. "Unresolved pains might result to unnecessary disagreements. I am living my life."

"You are living your life at work. Is that even life?" Hoseok said.

Jin thought about it. He suddenly remembered all those days with Jungkook and how close they really were. All those sleepovers and sudden friendly dates. That bunny smile that he loves seeing from him.

All those things make him stop from talking to him because Jin is still scared. He is scared that he'll feel the same way again. He is scared that he will fall in love again and just be the one falling. He does not have feelings for Jungkook, and he plans on making it stay that way.

"You sneaky doctor." Yugyeom said as soon as he entered Jungkook's room.

Jungkook was busy reading some charts and watching videos of the surgeries he'll perform for the day. He looked at the smiling nurse but did not pay him any attention.

"Jin received flowers." Yugyeom said.

Jungkook still did not spare him a glance and said, "and how does that makes me sneaky?"

"I am sure those flowers are from you."

"They are not." Jungkook said while still watching at the video and then pulling a book from his shelf. He started opening it and read some information.

"Whatever! You can't hide it from me. I am sure it was you."

"If you have nothing more to say, you can go. As you can see, I am busy for the surgery later." Jungkook said.

"Whatever. He thought it's from Taehyung, by the way, because his friend said that Taehyung wanted to buy him flowers. Some other person might be taking advantage of what you are doing so you better act fast." Yugyeom said before opening the door and leaving.

As soon as the door was closed, Jungkook sighed. He closed the book he was not reading in reality, and paused the video he was watching.

He looked at his phone and the message from the flower shop saying that his flowers were already delivered.
