When an impatient doctor meets a composed lawyer, will their world collide?
***
Chaeyoung Park wasn't born with patience of a saint. She wants everything to be done fast, quickly and effectively. At least, that's what she learnt in Med School. But...

Chaeyoung tosses in her bed. Except that this isn’t her bed because it has a much better bed quality than her own. A wonderful sigh escapes her throat. Even in the morning, she’s absolutely a funny person. “I forgot I’m at Lisa’s place,” She sleepily tells herself. The moist, morning breeze assaults her frozen cheeks from a half shut window.
Chaeyoung opens her eyes. It’s raining heavily out there. Once in a while, a thunder roars but not so frightening that all her hair stands. She yawns lazily again and rolls out of the bed. Her feet find the indoor shoes easily. “Had a good sleep?” A voice she would recognize anywhere in the world, startles her. Luckily, she doesn’t fall flat to the floor.
“I’m sorry,” There is a pause and Chaeyoung shuts her eyes annoyingly before tilting her head over her shoulder and witnesses Lisa crouching down in total, silent laugh. “I’m sorry,” is all that she can mutter, albeit thin like a whisper. “I didn’t mean to scare you,”
She eventually approaches the blonde by the bed and offers her hand. Chaeyoung huffs but takes it anyway. “Stop doing that, Lisa. It’s not funny,” “It feels like it,” Lisa simply says and even she’s surprised at how easy the wording comes out. Like it’s always so easy to be playful around a certain Chaeyoung Park.
“But to answer your question, I did have a great night,” Chaeyoung flashes her million dollar smile along with a small thumbs up. Lisa nods her head gladly. “It’s time for breakfast,” She breaks the news. “And I guess you might want to get ready,”
“That’s a great idea, thank you” Chaeyoung moves to the dresser. “Although it’s too cold for a shower, I guess I can just change into … Hey, wait a minute. Where is my stuff? I think I put them all inside here,”
She turns to face Lisa. Arms crossed before something hits her when she notices she’s not in the same room she was before. Even the position of the bed is different! Heat travels to her face immediately.
“They are still inside the cupboard,” Lisa clears her throat. “But just not this cupboard because it’s mine. Yours is next door, neighbour” Lisa lifts her face and shoots Chaeyoung a smile that makes her heart races faster than Usain Bolt.
“Wh…Whaaat did you say?” “You spent the night at my room,”
Lisa says, almost like it’s not choking her to spring that to Chaeyoung’s face. For once, or every time that Lisa makes her feel totally dysfunctional, Chaeyoung opens and shuts her mouth like a fish. “But… But… I was supposed to be rooming with Bomi right?”
“Yeah,” Lisa breathes out. Then, something rings on the nightstand. Lisa’s phone. “I have to pick up the call,” The lawyer grabs the device and aims for the door before pausing dramatically. “See you at breakfast later, Chaeng - ah”
*** “So, I think we’re all set,”
Lili Park speaks from where she sits, the right seat from her mother and across from Lisa. Chaeyoung finds herself strangely fortified with Lisa’s nieces on both sides. But the youngest one is a bit more tolerable than her elder sister who hisses every time Chaeyoung breathes.
