The Case of Park Jimin

Chapter 8

It's been a few days since Mr. Park- I mean Jimin, swapped saliva with me. I thought it would be best to ignore what happened, hope that he wouldn't bring it up himself.

But I guess I was foolish to believe that he wouldn't bring it up, and he didn't, at least not verbally. The not so subtle glances at me and the obvious finger brushed over his lips when I did catch him looking.

He knew the kiss bothered me, and he knew he was handsome, and he knew how to play both of those to his advantage. He would talk less about Mina and ask me how my day was going, as if he wasn't in an asylum.

Today was an easy day, today I didn't have to see Jimin. Today I got to sit in my office, in peace with the world.

Only Mrs. Smith, the lady in the office next door, didn't understand what please be quiet ment. She was constantly yelling into the phone while she popped her fifth bag of popcorn, and I could hear her gum clanking through the walls.

I rubbed my temples slowly as I looked at the clock, 5 more hours and I'm home free, 5 hours will pass by quickly if that woman would shut up. As long as she doesn't invade my space-

My thoughts were cut off by my door slamming open and a nosy Mrs. Smith walking in, popping her bubblegum against her teeth as she smiled. I really hated this woman.

"Yes, Mrs. Smith?" I asked, not even bothering to put on a fake smile. Without asking she marched in and sat down in front of my desk, and leaned forward making her chest pop out of her shirt a bit more than usual. It wasn't uncommon for her to flirt with both genders, even if she is married to a unbelievably attractive woman.

"Mr. Min says you can go on break now" she said twirling her hair with her finger, why is it that every single girl thinks that twirling their hair is attractive?

"Thank you Mrs. Smith" I said and stood up along with Mrs. Smith, only for Mrs. Smith to pretend to fall back down into my chair. "Oh doctor I think I need your help, I might be sick" she said and I walked towards her.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her up "perhaps it's silicone poisoning from all that silicone in your chest" I said and she gasped, insulted. I threw her out of my office and locked it, "Whatever I have better things to do than you" she said and walked away as if it was my loss.

"I feel bad for that woman's wife" I heard and I turned to see Jennifer, the new doctor, standing there with a small stack of empty carrot bags. "Don't, they both cheat on each other" I said and she sighed before shaking her head.

"Alyson, if I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone?" She asked and I nodded before I really thought about it. Like,  what if it's something bad like she killed someone or she's pregnant after a one night stand.

"Good" she said before she started walking again, but gestured for me to follow her. "We will take my car, I know a really quiet cute café down the road a bit, no one will bother us" she said as we walked towards a small light blue jeep.

I studied her for a second before deciding that if she did kill me in this 'café' that I would be safe from Jimin's prying eyes and wandering lips.

The ride wasn't that long and when we pulled up, I was slightly confused. I thought she said this café was cute. Honestly it looked like a hole in the wall, just with a rusty door that probably squeaked when you opened it.

"I know it doesn't look like much, but the inside is really cute" she said when she saw the expression on my face. I shrugged and walked forward with her towards the cute café.

I was right though, the door did squeak, high pitched and scratchy, like nails on chalkboard. But then again, she was right too. The inside was really cute.

Light pink and different shades of grey molded and shaped the walls, and the smell of pastry's and coffee made it smell homely. The couple who ran up to you with a welcoming smile made it feel homely.

"Jennifer, welcome back and I see you brought a new friend what an shame you didn't bring that handsome young man again, nevermind what should I get you too" the woman said as she walked us to a booth, well any booth, the whole place was empty.

"The usual" Jennifer said, I guess she comes here often. "Um a caramel macchiato" I said and they both bowed to us before running into their kitchen. They were cute, this place was cute, Jimin is cu- let's stop that thought right there.

The second they were in the kitchen Jennifer turned to me, her eyes glanced at the kitchen often, clearly nervous. "Is there a rule about relationships between a doctor and their patient?" she asked and my eyebrows rose, oh we were having that talk.

I turned my body to her slightly "there isn't a rule specifically about that kind of relationship but I'm sure that everyone would find it slightly inappropriate,why?" I asked not really worried because the only patient she has is Mr. Jeon and no one is crazy enough to go for him.

But yet again, I swapped saliva with Park Jimin, one of the craziest patients on my level.

"What about doctor and doctor relationships?" she asked and I frowned slightly, "there is nothing wrong with that, as long as you keep it professional during work hours" I said and she sighed slightly and leaned her head on her arms.

"Again, why?"

She looked up at me guilty, and I shook my head "I'm not going to be mad" I said but for some reason I knew that if the name Park Jimin came out of her mouth right now, I would be mad.

"Jungkook, he said something to me that I can't forget, I'm not going to lie, it got my heart racing" she said and I thought back to the very awkward kiss between me and Jimin, your not the only one with a racing heart.

"And after he said it, I ran out embarrassed and I met this doctor he was really nice and he took me out to this café" she said right before the couple came out again and set our drinks on the table, "Call us if you need anything dears" the lady said and scurried off into the kitchen.

"He was so romantic and sweet, my heart started racing again and I don't know what came over me but I kissed him-" Jennifer started ranting to me about this mystery doctor and I stopped her.

"Wait so let me get this straight Mr. Jeon makes your heart race and this guy does too?" I asked and glanced at her like she was some lovestruck puppy. She nodded and took a sip of whatever she ordered.

"Who is this mystery doctor anyway?"

"Kim Taehyung"
