I ran out of that room as fast as I could. He was being so enticing that if it weren't for the loud doorbell I wouldn't be able to break free from the trance I was just trapped in. He was being so charismatic and the aura he was exuding that moment just screamed dominance. I couldn't help but shrink in his presence.
"Are you okay? You're sweating quite a bit."
Minghao was straight to the point when it came to situations like these. Although he could be a handful most of the time, he's very much competent when he senses a patient in need. He was holding his medicine kit and was still in his doctor's gown.
"Did you just arrive?"
"Yeah, I received your call when I was entering my place. Let's see that hand of yours now shall we?"
I showed him my hand, that was now very red. It wasn't bleeding, but it still felt like I broke a bone or two.
"This isn't as bad as the last time thank God, but still you're a dentist for pete's sake. Take care of yourself more will ya?"
We've known each other since college. We went to the same minor classes and got acquainted. Although my friendliness to him was purely out of politeness, he took that as an invitation to hang around with me all throughout my college years. He was annoying, but I liked the fact that he was very attentive during class and was very serious about his goals and to his profession now. Makes me feel less bad to admit that he's my friend to other people.
"Thanks for helping me again Minghao. You're really saving my ass here."
"Save the mushy words for later, let's treat that first."
"Let's do it in the bathroom."
I pulled out a chair for him to sit and went ahead and sat on the toilet seat cover facing him.
"Like I said, it seems less worse than the previous injury you've had. I'll bandage this for now and check up on you again in a few days. Tell me if any other pain comes up, then we'll have to see if it's in for some greater damage. Do you want to change perhaps? It'll be a bit difficult to change in and out of clothes after the bandage is on."
"Yes please, I appreciate the help and nah I doubt this is gonna be a big deal."
My top was a very fitted. I can't really take it off myself without using both my hands. After he helped me take it off he handed me his coat for me to wear while he treated my hand.
"Big or not, you should still take care of yourself. You've worked hard to achieve a dream you didn't even want anything to do with in the first place. At least don't get hurt. You're still young, you can still opt for something different you know?"
"It's fine. I'm starting to get used to it anyways."
"You sure are stubborn---Just like him."
"Oohhhh~~I see he's still getting on your nerves."
"The man's basically a robot. I can't read him at all."
'Your mom likes him though."
"I know. That's what's worse."
He was wrapping my hand gently yet with such precision. He was being careful not to put too much pressure so that I wouldn't feel any more pain. Though it did threw me a bit off since he was acting all serious and not more like his usuall playful self. Is he like this because he's worried about me? Or is it because of his new roommate?
"Didn't you say he was good looking?"
He looked up to me and instantly knew as to where I was trying to lead this conversation to. He was not at all amused.
