First day of work.

Should I be happy or sad? Laugh or cry my eyes out? It's confusing.

Of course I'm happy, my dream of becoming a doctor is finally turning into reality. It's what I wished since I was little, amazed by the fact that a miracle happened and I was still alive and ready to live again.

The fact that I'm going to see Mr. Jackass everyday for the rest of my doctor days will be very annoying. It's making me question my decision to accept my mother's offer to work at this prestigious hospital.

Should I be scared? Should I book a meet with a therapist just in case?

"Yah, Nari-ah! Don't space out at your first day of work either. It's a special day" Jin slightly flicked my forehead, scolding me like a child getting ready for the first day of elementary school.

I decided to see Jin before my work starts, since he always says the right things and I can spill everything to him, sincerely.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous. What if I mess up my first surgery? What if I kill someone?" I pouted, tapping my foot on the ground while he organized his desk.

He just smiled and shook his head "You're going to be fine, besides, there isn't a single death in that hospital's history of existence. And you've been at the top of your class for ages, scoring the highest on those icky surgeries you complained about"

I looked at him and deeply sighed. Maybe Dr. Kim and I will get along after all? Maybe he'll change and become more proffessional?

"Thank you, Jin oppa. I just hope that sly boss of mine will eventually move his attention to another doctor or something" I chuckled out of pity for myself.

He just smiled and came over, looping his long hands around my figure.

"You're going to top all of the doctors and become a professor. Maybe become better than him, who knows? Just know that I believe in you, and handsome faces like this one will bring you eternal luck, Nari" He pointed at his own face and smiled, slightly poking my nose.

I just scrunched up my face and hugged him back. He's right, and with his motivational quotes maybe I'll get over with my life?

Sliding through the hospital's door with a sudden burst of confidence, I was met with my lovely mom with a smile on her face and the literal devil himself smirking beside her.

"Good morning, Choi Nari, welcome to Keolah hospital as an official doctor" He boomed, the sly smirk replaced by a genuine smile.

I smiled back and bowed, swooping my hair out of my face after.

"I'm proud of you, sweetheart. And I hope you're proud of yourself as well" Mom embraced me in a tight hug, exporting all her love and kindness through warm skinship.

"Thank you, eomma" I mumbled, smiling and feeling much better.

"Your first surgery starts in 30 minutes, I'll show you the steps to everything in the meantime" Dr. Kim turned somewhat nice and gestured me to follow him.

Maybe my mom actually scolded him about the "don't flirt with my sister" sentence?

Aish, why Hoseok even said that...

I waved my mom a goodbye and followed the lean figure, rather staying behind him rather than next to the tall man.

We entered a new section of the hospital, which said "SURGERY" on the front of the two big doors. It smelled like medicine and was indeed, very clean and nice.
