Forbidden Love

Doctor

Chapter 5:

'Aish! I'm running late, stupid teacher meeting that didn't even contain any important information. I even promised the kid that I would visit him before he goes out.'

In her hurry, Jihyo tripped on her own feet while speedwalking. Newly scrapes she acquired on her knees were bright red due to the fall was nothing, but hearing her tight, branded pencil skirt tear on its edge was worse.

"Aigo~" She freely whines as all students were already gone, surprised as somebody coughed behind her.

A man wearing dress shirt and slacks under a white coat appeared, lending his hand out for the damsel in distress. Jihyo only looked at his pale hand, a blank look on her face. "Come on, I don't bite."

Without any choice, she didn't want to be rude, she grabbed the hand and pulled herself up. Surprised when the doctor suddenly picked her up and carried her bridal style, "W-wae?"

"You're injured, I'm just going to bring you to the infermary." He explained with ease, just doing his job.

"Aniya! I need to go visit my student!" Jihyo protested, but the doctor wouldn't accept any reasons for her knees not to be disinfected.

Once inside the infirmary, Jihyo was put down on a vacant bed by the unnamed doctor, where she sat down. She watched as the young man went through some cabinets, pulling out a box of band-aids and a disinfectant spray.

He walked over to her and knelt infront of her to take a good look of her knees.

"A-andwae, I can do it by myself." She blocks his view of her knees and he got hurt.

"Do you not trust me?" The doctor frowned, wherein Jihyo shook her head and pulls her hands to rest on her side again. Which made the doctor's frown upside down.

She let's the doctor who has yippeun eyelashes and a striking smile do his job, yet once he started spraying the disinfectant, the stinging pain became worse.

"Ya! Ya! Ya!" Jihyo continued to angrily scream as the doctor kept on spraying without mercy.

He did it on purpose, because he has had this situation happen for at least more than five hundred times. And he learned, that if he stops, the patient wouldn't want to continue with it anymore. And a dirty anything would lead to infection!

Jihyo gritted her teeth together as she endured the whole process, th doctor even moving to the other knee. Once finished, Jihyo couldn't contain her anger. "Neo! Why didn't you stop when I cried?!"

A solemn look suddenly plastered on the doctor's face, "because I wanted to continue even though you don't."

Jihyo was speechless, he wasn't talking about the disinfecting process, that's for sure. He was thinking of something else, as his distant eyes wandered off.

"Um. Ulsa-nim.. i think you're talking to the wrong person about this.. thing you have going on." Jihyo saw the doctor scratch the back of his head.

"Ah, mianhae Song-yang." He smiled, "well, you're all done. But next time, please call me Jongsuk."

"Okay then, Jongsuk-oppa, would you like to join me with a cup of coffee after I pick-up my student from the hospital?"

Jongsuk didn't answer immediately but he did quickly shake off his doctor's coat and set it on the chair, grabbing Jihyo outside of the infirmary with him. He silently locked the door, and then faced Jihyo with a huge grin. "It's a date!"

-

In the hallway on the fourth floor, two adults were enjoying each other's company while walking towards Jongin's hospital room.

"It's a good thing I was walking back from the storage room when I found you. Did your scrapes really hurt that bad that you were crying?" Jongsuk asks.

"A-about that," Jihyo embarrassingly started, "It's because my skirt got torn as I fell." She reveals, even showing it to the doctor.

The doctor thought of it as absurd and couldn't stop but laugh aloud, getting scolded by the nurse who was passing by. "Wow, you're unbelievable!"

They laughed silently together until they arrived in front of Jongin's room, slowly opening the door.

An angry looking Jongin greeted Jihyo, who went in first, "You're late, you said after school." And then he saw Jongsuk which angered him more, "Who's this?"

"I'm your school doctor, Lee Jongsuk. Nice to see you again Jongin-ssi. You always spend your class time in the infirmary last year." The doctor introduced, stretching his hand out for the student to shake yet he didn't.

Jongin only looked away, "Tss! You were flirting with this guy, huh, that's why you were late."

"Aish! Stop being such a brat. She tripped because she was in such a hurry to get here, she only got late because of the meeting." Jongsuk simply says, annoyed with the immature student.

"You're so clumsy." He simply states, not budging from being a brat.

Jihyo did some mental chants to calm herself down before talking, "If I'm so late, why didn't you just check out yourself and go home?"

"I don't have a ride."

"Take the bus."

"If you haven't noticed, I only have my phone with me."

Jihyo could only facepalm because of her stupidity, but then a bright idea came up to mind.

"Well, you should be thankful that I invited Jongsuk-ulsanim to tag along since I don't have my car around yet." Jihyo smirked evilly towards Jongin's direction, "Oppa, if you don't mind, can we please take this little one home first before getting coffee?"

"No, I don't mind at all."

Jihyo went and got a wheelchair, it was mandatory for patients who are checking out even if they don't have anything wrong with the lower part of their body, while Jongsuk helped Jongin change back to his uniform.

Jongin uncomfortably sat on the wheelchair as Jongsuk pushed it, Jihyo quickly checking her student out. Awkwardly silent between the two adults, even on the back seat of the doctor's black BMW.

"Okay! First stop, Kim Jongin's home!" Jihyo cheered in her attempt to lighten up the mood.

Looking up at the rear view mirror, Jongsuk could only smirk as he sees the kid in the back sulking with his arms crossed on his chest. Having a tough time in doing it with the cast.
