The older woman’s brows furrowed at the request paper set at her desk. She looks back at the doe eyed beauty sitting across from her. It’s a dime in a dozen to meet someone so young yet so hardworking, and she usually doesn’t take request but for this doe eyed beauty, she might reconsider it.
“So, you’re requesting to have your switch shifts from night duties to days?”
“Well, that would be ideal but even at least 3-11 shift.”
“For someone who just started working for 2 weeks, you adjusted faster than most and you’re doing a great job. So, what is your reason for wanting to change schedule?”
Because her lover can’t fall asleep that was Yoona’s only reason. But she knew no nursing manager in their right mind would take that as an excuse.
“I’m having a hard time balancing work with school.”
She hardly lies but for Yuri it’s not even a choice…

Flashback…
Yuri’s face turned into that of a kicked puppy when Yoona just walk in without giving her a kiss. The doe eyed girl quickly pulls of her clothes and quickly changes to her scrubs.
“I…I pack you some dinner from the restaurant.”
Yoona screeches to a halt when she realizes that she just walk in and ignored Yuri.
“Thank you baby…” Yoona sneakily tries to glance at her watch, making sure that Yuri won’t see or she might think that’s she’s being an inconvenience. She walks over to the girl and wraps her arms around Yuri’s shoulder.
“It’s your first day, I meant night on the job. I don’t want you to go hungry.”
Yoona kisses Yuri thankfully. But the thankful smile turns into worry when she sees a bandage on Yuri’s palm. “Hey… what happen?”
“It’s no big deal, I just cut myself while chopping some vegetables. They make me cut veggies now… I guess it’s a promotion.”
“I don’t want you getting hurt.” Yoona kisses the bandage.
“It’s a little scratch…”
“Ok… but next time you need to be careful. I’ll see you tomorrow.” It was supposed to be a goodbye kiss. but the moment Yuri presses her waist on Yoona’s entangling the girl in her kisses, Yoona knew that saying goodbye would be much harder than she thought.
“I have to go…” Yoona pulls away hesitantly.
“I want to take you to work…”Yuri says almost pleadingly.
“It’s ok baby…” Yoona brushes Yuri’s cheek with her thumb “I don’t like you riding the metrorail by yourself especially at night.”
Yuri stepped away defeated, what Yoona was saying is very true. There was no way she’s getting into public transportation especially metrorails if Yoona wasn’t with her.
“Oh okay… I’ll wait for you…”
“I won’t be home until the morning, so just try to sleep ok? I’ll call you when I get to work…”
“Call me on your break too…”
“I will…”
Yuri seeks Yoona’s lips once again. One goodbye kiss turned into two, and two multiplying into more, Until Yoona got the strength to finally tear away from Yuri.
