The Wishlist

Chapter 7

Yoongi can feel the burning gaze on him as soon as he walks into the hospital because everybody is staring at him. He knows that they are looking at him like he just murdered someone. Of course, the news would spread quicker than fire.

As Yoongi made his way to the elevator he saw two nurses whispering to each other as they looked at him. Yoongi tried not to think about it too much as he got in and the elevator was thankfully empty. He almost thought he should skip work but he wouldn't be that much of a coward so here he is now.

When he reaches his office Yoongi sighs thinking about how much flak he is gonna get for the next few weeks that is until some new drama pops up and everyone gets distracted by what happened between him and Chaeyoung and he can go back to being the invisible weird but renowned oncologist a role that he plays so well. Working at a hospital can get boring sometimes and the doctors, nurses all live off the drama. It's just how it is.

But now he will be treated like he is some player who breaks girl's heart but that is far from the truth because Yoongi has dated only 3 girls in his life one of whom he married. The last thing Min Yoongi is a player. However, that will not stop people from talking and gossiping about his life. It's like a game of Chinese whisper as everyone would have formed their own opinions about the whole situation.

And a bit of it maybe is Yoongi's fault because he was the one who let things drag out with Chaeyoung while knowing deep down it would never become a thing. And he was rude to her as well. Maybe, after all, Yoongi deserves this.

Yoongi leaves the office to head to the radiation room. As usual, he is greeted by Hoseok as much as Yoongi doesn't want to see him because he was a personal witness to all the embarrassment but Yoongi is professional and he tries to put himself on his best behavior.

"Mr. Ju-Hoseok," Yoongi says.

"Hey, Dr. Min,"

"All ready,"

Hoseok nods.

Yoongi begins the treatment and while Hoseok is always in a much cheery mode today he seems to be carefully looking at Yoongi almost examining him and Yoongi wishes nothing more than to hide away in a dark cave but he cannot. Hoseok's relenting stare is unsettling but not as uncomfortable for some reason. It feels like he is watching Yoongi with concern, not judgment like rest of the hospital staff was.

When Hoseok is done Yoongi excuses himself quickly in a lame attempt to avoid any kind of questions and he is quite successful at that and for the rest of the day everything goes in a blurry because he was cooped up in the office doing paperwork on all his patients. At least he can avoid people with that.

When his shift is done Yoongi leaves quickly and decides to go to Seokjin's home because he really needs to talk to Seokjin although he frankly hates showing up to Seokjin's house and burdening him with his problems when Seokjin already has so much on a plate-3 kids, the house, Namjoon and the business he wants to do but if he doesn't talk to someone he feel like he might go crazy.

So, here he is knocking on Seokjin's door and Seokjin opens up a surprised smile on his face.

"Yoongi," he says.

"Hey," Yoongi says entering the house as Seokjin closes the door.

"You have blessed me with your presence yet again,"

"Uh yes," Yoongi says his lips pressed into a small smile. "Where are the kids?"

"With Namjoon at a baseball game," Seokjin says. "They are gonna be home late so I was planning to have a face mask and sit down with a good book and a glass of wine"
