A Promise

"Tired?" I asked Hani. She looked so tired since we were in the operational room.

She shook her head.

"You had worked harder than me. You might probably feel more."

I smiled not wanting her to feel my tiredness. Today was another busy day for us as we become a doctor.

Being a doctor was not my dream. It was Hani's dream. I became a doctor as my mother wanted me to be a doctor. So, here I am in Haneul Hospital after 5 years of study and 2 years of become an intern. Those 7 years of my life was quiet boring for me.

"Lets go home."

Yes, of course we are housemates. I am a little bit older than her as I was born on late January while she was born on early February.

"Do you two want to go back?" A tall doctor asked us. We nodded.

"Drive carefully then."

"Thanks." I smiled.

That guy is my 11 years old crush. Both of us got good result during our high school and got scholarship to continue our studies in United Kingdom. So, sometimes I thought that he is my destiny.

This was because not only being able to continue our studies in the same country, we were also in the same university and even in the same class. That was why my 7 years of study was not too boring. Because he was there with me.

He was practically my teacher. This was because during our high school, I was not as smart as him. I only worked hard on my final year and I got lucky to get straight As in the exam.

He loved to teach anyone who need helps in studies and I was one of his pupils.

Everyone loves him. Not only students, teachers also being affectionate towards him.

He had all the dream man material. Smart, tall, nice and funny. Who would not want him? Okay maybe a lot of them don't like him as he was quite nerd.

"But not me."

"What did you say?" Hani asked me. That made me realised how loud I thought.

I said, "nothing."

Today was like yesterday. My schedule was fully packed.

"Huh, it looks like I would never going to have a date." I muttered.

"Since when did you are planning to?" The sound of that familiar voice made me tilted my head to the right. Yes, my thought was true. There he was. Standing right beside me while writing on a piece of paper at the information centre. Looking at how focused he was, I couldn't help myself from smiling.

"Why you are smiling, Seulgi-unnie?"  asked Arin, my junior doctor.

That question made him focused on me instead of that piece of paper where he was focusing at just now.

"Nothing, sweetie."

My answer made him laughed. I must be so lucky today to see his precious smile.

"Why did you laughed? I'm not making any jokes."

"I find it is funny to hear you said sweetie to Arin. You look so motherly," he said.

"Is it a compliment?"

He laughed again.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that  Chairman Kim asked me to tell you that he wants to meet you after work." Arin told me.

I'm shocked. "Did he tell you why?"
