I called Seungkwan through the landline to tell him that I wouldn't be able to work for the meantime as my hand was all bandaged up. He honestly didn't give a damn about my injury and was just happy that I was finally taking a break from work.

"If all it took was a few beatings on your hand, I would've gladly done it myself a long time ago if it meant for you to take a break."

"Wow, thanks Seungkwan, I'm fine by the way if you're wondering."

"Hahahaha you know I care for you Wonwoo. I'm just glad you're finally taking a break. Took you long enough."

"Don't worry i'll be back in 2 weeks an---"

"Nope, make that a month. Take this as an opportunity to relax. Besides, I've emptied your schedule for the whole month and gave your patients away to the other dentists. You're welcome." I could sense him grinning against his phone when he said that.

"You sure work fast. Well then, I guess there's nothing I can do at this point. You sure you're not gonna miss me?"

"Ha! Save your breath Wonwoo. You better not show that face of yours at the clinic unless you want that other hand of yours busted as well."

"Scary~~ Come on, don't you think you'd feel lonely without me?"

"Not really, and I mean it Wonwoo. Don't come working here with a limp hand like you did last time. You're lucky the cases you handled then weren't strenuous enough to make it worse."

"Yeah, you gave me quite an earful after knowing I was working with an injured hand. I can't believe Minghao snitched on me like that."

"At least one of you two cares for your health. Anyways, I gotta go now, I still have files to sort. You should be asleep, it's literally 4 am."

"Yeah, yeah, sorry for taking up your time. Good bye then."

"I'll visit you soon, Goodbye Wonwoo."

So much happened yesterday that it felt like days have passed since he confessed to me in that storage room. To think that I initially got a day off at first and ended up taking a month off from work at the end. What a funny turn of events. Well, minus this injured hand of mine.

I was tired, but for some reason I felt light and relieved. I guess I really do like him. I was worried all this time what he would think of me if he knew I wasn't this 'perfect dentist' he thought I was. I kept my guard up thinking it was the only way he'd keep his interest in me. That push and pull game I was playing with him only bit me in the butt in the end. Yeah, there's no way I wouldn't fall for such a good person. He was nothing but nice to me all this time. Even after telling him that I slept around a couple of times, he still had that confidence in him that he'd love me the same and that he'd stay by me, promising a future that we'd be together for a long time.

"What a persistent dog really."

I slept that day like a baby. It was the second time in a while that I was able to do so. My thoughts were finally clear and my heart, at long last, came to terms with its own feelings. Damn, I really do like that bastard huh? Who would've known?

The sun was already starting to set when I woke up. It was late in the afternoon and I was still in the clothes that I was in yesterday. I crawled out of bed and went to scrub myself down before I changed to a new set of clothes. Since I was basically jobless starting today, I decided to look up the vacation homes and cruises that Seungkwan kept sending me before.

"If only I could find my phone. Ah! There it is."

I turned off my phone yesterday at the movies since I didn't want to be disturbed. Well, I still got distracted in the end, and it sure as hell wasn't my phone's fault. I turned it on and in came a flood of missed calls and texts from Mingyu.

"The heck?"

Should I be creeped out by this? I called him back nevertheless.

"Wonwoo!!! You finally called back!!! Did something happen to you?!! I was on my way to your place to check up on you."

"Calm down, I just woke up. I saw your texts and calls just now."

"You just woke up? Have you eaten yet? Want me to bring you something?"

"No, please. Don't come here. I can't listen to your loud ass voice today."

"Come on. I'm your boyfriend now. I should be taking care of you if you're not feeling fine."

"Listening to you is actually making me more sick. I'm hanging up now."

"Wait!!! Wonwoo!!! Are you mad at me or something?"

"No, I'm not. I'm just tired. Plus my ears are still ringing after you just shouted on the phone like that."

"Sorry about that, anyways I'm at the lobby already at your condo. See ya later~"

"Wait, I just told you not to come her---" I stared at my phone, feeling somewhat defeated. I can never really get through that guy's thick head.

"He's never going to go easy on me huh?" I said to myself.

Moments later the doorbell rang. And in an instant, my heart pounded louder as I hurriedly walked towards the door to greet who was behind it.

"You really came."

"Of course. Here I brought you something from work."

I can't escape from him anymore.
