2min - hospital romance

(lee know x seungmin)

The deafening sirens. The panic and desperation as lives slowly ebbed away. The broken sobs escaping the throats of the bereaved.

Lee Minho's life played out against the backdrop of these sounds. From life to death, he had seen it all. On one end, first time parents cradled their new bundle of joy in their arms. On the other end, desperate pleas echoed off the white walls of the hospital, crying, begging to save a life. It was quite intriguing to the surgeon, how all these things simultaneously took place under the same roof, spanning over the same time frame. Well, that was everyday at Seoul Medicare, the largest multi specialty hospital in the bustling capital of South Korea.

Lee Minho. The driven, high-spirited surgeon that never failed to turn heads wherever he went. Though quite young for a surgeon, he was the one of the finest in his field. He was known as a wizard with the scalpel, for his slender fingers held a precision so skilled, so stable that one could trust him to perform their surgery blindfolded. His impeccable work ethic and amiable nature with patients made him a crowd favorite, earning revisits more often than not.

As if all that wasn't enough, he was well known for how handsome he was too. The nurses always got caught staring at him whenever he passed by, but it was difficult to blame them. Despite the plain white coat draping over his blue scrubs and a stethoscope hanging around his neck from time to time, he was quite the looker. Tousled locks of sandy brown hair fell over his long eyelashes, concealing the weariness in his eyes and the dark circles from pulling all nighters spent in the operation theatre. His big brown doe eyes, sharp nose and plump lips invited the envy of every woman who had the pleasure to catch even the swiftest of glances at him.

"Hellooo? Earth to Doctor Lee?" A voice snaps him out of his daze. Minho was sitting at his desk, overlooking the skyline of Seoul city. It was quite a breathtaking sight, one he found solace in after tiring days. He was just out of the operation theatre, trying to catch a break in solitude after a five hour long surgery.

"Huh? What happened?" He asks.

"You're doing it again. You're zoning out," His secretary giggles, earning a sheepish smile from the doctor. Seungmin had been working for Minho for almost a year now, manning the reception desk that sat adjacent to his office. Due to the great demand for his services, a separate reception had to be set up to deal with his inflow of patients.

"I haven't slept in the past two days. Overnight surgeries have been messing up my sleep schedule," he sighs.

"Did you even have one to begin with?" Seungmin sasses at him.

"Touché."

Just then, the shrill sound of the telephone blares through the room, resonating off the walls with a jarring vibration. Seungmin rushes to attend the call.

"The is Doctor Lee Minho's Office, Seoul Medicare. How may I help you?" Seungmin robotically delivers his automated response, putting on a fake smile and switching to his cheerful customer service voice. Minho eyes him pensively, trying to gauge where the conversation was going. He was internally dreading the thought of another consultation after the exhausting surgery.

He finally puts the phone down after a moment or two and turns to look at the older with a sympathetic gaze. He jabs a few buttons on the dial pad and waits a few moments for the phone to pick up.

"One iced americano to Doctor Lee's office, please." A groan escapes Minho's throat at the words.

"I thought I was done with my schedule for the day?" He whines, his lips involuntarily puckering up into a pout. Seungmin internally gushes at how cute he looked doing it. He couldn't deny that he had the tiniest of crushes on the surgeon.
