Tuesday 21st October:

Connor Rhodes: So breakfast this morning... That was different.

Ethan Choi: Yea it was, who knew that syrup had so many uses?

Connor Rhodes: I was thinking I could bring some whipped cream home tonight...

Ethan Choi: I would like that very much ;)

-----------------------------------------------------

Claire Rhodes: Hi Connor, thanks for lunch today! I meant to say it's great to see you looking so happy recently. I hope it continues.

------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday 17th November:

Connor Rhodes: I have to say I'm a fan of the facial hair. However you're going to have the med students swooning if your not careful.

Ethan Choi: Scared of a little competition?

Connor Rhodes: You're welcome to them if you think you can handle it.

-------------------------------------------------------

April Sexton: Is it me or are the med students particularly frisky this year?

Maggie Lockwood: There must be something in the water. Nat and Jeff were just the start of it. I'm afraid they've started an epidemic.

----------------------------------------------------------

Ethan Choi: The facial hair was a mistake.

Connor Rhodes: I warned you about looking too sexy around the med students. Was it the red head?

Ethan Choi: ...

Connor Rhodes: I saw her giving you the eye on rounds this morning. I hope you let her down gently.

Ethan Choi: I told her I was taken and that she should focus on actually learning something instead of flirting with attendings.

Connor Rhodes: Ouch...

----------------------------------------------------

Will Halstead: I think Doctor Choi has himself a girlfriend.

Natalie Manning: You know I have been thinking the same thing!

Will Halstead: It's not just me right? He's always in a good mood, he's smiling a lot more... All signs point to a man in love.

Natalie Manning: I'm happy for him.

Will Halstead: But you are curious about this mystery girl right?

Natalie Manning: So much!

Will Halstead: But I know we should respect Ethan's privacy...

Natalie Manning: We should...

Will Halstead: I'm going to talk to Maggie.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Noah Sexton: So Choi is definitely taken.

April Sexton: How do you know?

Noah Sexton: One of the girls on my rounds made a pass at him and he told her he was in a relationship with someone.

April Sexton: The plot thickens...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday 19th December:

Ethan Choi: Hey...

Connor Rhodes: Hey... It's 4 in the morning. Can't sleep?

Ethan Choi: No, my head's too busy. It feels like I can't stop thinking...

Connor Rhodes: Do you want to go for a run?

Ethan Choi: It's four am...

Connor Rhodes: I repeat, do you want to go for a run?

Ethan Choi: Nah, I'm good. I just need to buck up, stop being so self indulgent.

Connor Rhodes: Get your sweats on, I'll be over in 20.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ethan Choi: Thanks for this morning. I just needed to get out of my head for a while.

Connor Rhodes: I'm glad that I could be of service. I've been thinking... Maybe you should check in with Doctor Charles.

Ethan Choi: Yea, I was thinking the same thing. With the holidays coming up... It's a lot you know? To be the person my family expects me to be.

Connor Rhodes: I know a thing or two about that. Want me to come along for morale support? I've been told I'm a good buffer.

Ethan Choi: I... I would like that. I didn't want to put any pressure on you. I know how you hate the holidays after what happened with your mom.

Connor Rhodes: Maybe it's time to make some new memories... And I can't think of a better person to do it with. So my next question is, how are we going to play it? Am I a friend with nowhere else to go? Or a colleague in need?

Ethan Choi: The boyfriend I'm bringing home to meet my family...

Connor Rhodes: Boyfriend has a nice ring to it. So they know?

Ethan Choi: That I've been seeing someone.

Connor Rhodes: That it's me?

Ethan Choi: My family will just be happy that I'm happy. Race, gender, age doesn't really come into it.

Connor Rhodes: It must have been nice growing up in a family like that.

Ethan Choi: It was. I'm glad you get to meet them.
