A week has passed since I first came in. I really enjoyed visiting Dr. Jeon, and Seungkwan was kind enough to allow me to. He says that he's happy that Dr. Jeon has someone to talk to other than his patients and coworkers.

"But Seungkwan, I'm just his patient too you know."

He looked at me and smiled.

"You seem more like a friend to him now."

"You think so? If only that was the case."

"Give him some time. He doesn't trust people that easily."

I thought about how I just squeezed my life into his. He never wanted anything to do with me in the first place. It was me who was obsessed with knowing more about him, neglecting whatever he was feeling every time I stayed close by him. Does he even enjoy my company?

"It looks like Dr. Jeon is done with his patient. Go on ahead Mingyu."

"Thanks Seungkwan, enjoy the strawberry wafers."

Seungkwan's smile was sweet. I wish I could see that kind of smile from Dr.Jeon. Would he even do that to me?

"Doc? I'm back."

"You're here again. No work today too?"

"My coworker insists that I take it easy for now."

"That's nice of them. Feel free to do what you want, I still have these to sort out."

"Do you mind if I sleep on the chair?"

He never took his eyes off the papers he was holding and just nodded.

I remembered this time to take my contacts off before closing my eyes.

The second darkness shrouded my vision, thoughts started rushing into my head. They were all muddled and somehow incomprehensible. As much as I didn't want to think about it, I can't really deny reality. I still don't know if he's actually single. During the previous days I visited, I never really had the courage to ask him, afraid it might put him off. I wanted to be bolder. Maybe even a little flirty, but I thought that would be too hasty.

I couldn't sleep at all with all these thoughts keeping me awake. I just decided to plan my schedule while I was there restless. Should I start working the night shift again tonight? It's been almost a month since I swapped shifts with Vernon. I'm somehow curious as well as to how the masked regular is doing now too. Right, I probably should swap back---- hmm? Who's doc talking to? Seungkwan? I guess they think I'm fast asleep right now.

"Doc, you have another appointment on Monday. It's for braces. Do you want me to send her instead to Dr. Bruce?"

"No it's fine, I'll handle her."

"Wonwoo, you should really pay more attention to yourself. Life isn't all about work you know."

Wonwoo? They're that close with each other? Now that I think about it, Seungkwan is probably the closest person to Dr. Jeon. He's even dropping formalities with him.

"Thanks, Seungkwan, but I'm fine really. No need to worry."

"Just don't die on me okay?"

Wow, I envy him. They seem really comfortable with one another. I want to call him Wonwoo too. Would it be weird if I do it so suddenly? It would take some time to get used to of course. But we got to start somewhere. I should tell him to just call me Mingyu too. Maybe that way we could get closer.

Hmm it suddenly got quiet. Is Seungkwan gone? I should just probably go back to the store and tell Vernon about our shifts---

"When was the last time I even dated?"

Is he talking to himself? Wait...doesn't this mean he isn't seeing anyone? Well, It's now or never.

"Ahhhh~~~that was a good nap."

He looked at me as if I just popped out of nowhere.

"Thanks for letting me crash on your dental chair doc."

"It's fine you should g-----"

I should probably ask him now.

"So when was it?"

"Hmm? When was what?"

I walked closer to where he was sitting. Leaned closer and placed both my hands on the armrests of his chair. Staring deeply into his eyes.

"The last time you dated."

Shit...there's no turning back now.
