"congratulations on getting hired and becoming a full-time employee here, doctor lee," wonwoo, the black-haired doctor stated, smiling.

jihoon returns the gesture with a tiny bow and a polite "thank you."

"should we take you to your office, jihoon?" jeonghan asked.

jihoon replied with a shaking of his head.

"no, thank you for your time, but i wouldn't want to disturb you any longer," jihoon gently stated before the three physicians parted ways.

"where was my office again? room number seven— room number seven, room seven— ah! here it is," jihoon thought to himself as he swiped the room card to his office and opened it.

he walked into the room and was immediately taken with how spacious and well-organized it was.

jihoon then stows his items in the cabinet before settling down at his table with his folder. he sat down and stretched a little before turning on the air conditioner.

he looks at his schedule as he opens the folder and flips through the pages.

"oh? my appointment with kwon has changed a lot, huh? it used to be twice a week, but now it's every day," he said as he flipped through the thin white pages.

he yawns and says, "gosh, I really want to sleep."

the day has just started but he's exhausted and that's because he hadn't gotten enough sleep for the entire week.

"i feel so sleepy, but i just can't sleep since i still have so many things to do," he explained, his eyes begging for a break.

encouraging himself to do well today, he sighs to himself for the nth time.

"

so, uhm, soonyoung, how have you been these past few days, hm?" jihoon inquired as he turned to face soonyoung, who was now facing the floor.

the doctor was having a hard time because the blonde didn't seem to be responding very soon.

"uhm, soonyoung, how were you these past few days while i was gone?" he inquired again, hoping that the other would respond, but he received no response.

he didn't even bother to look at him for a split second and is just  tinkering with the hem of his black long-sleeved hoodie as if it was the most interesting thing to do.

despite the fact that all patients are compelled to wear the hospital gown, kwon soonyoung is an exception.

he's wearing a remarkably new-looking hoodie for the doctors' appointment today and there's something odd about him.

"soonyoung, if you're not feeling well, you may rest for now if you want, and we'll just finish the session later if you're feeling better, how about that?" the doctor said quietly.

"how about you, doctor? do you want to rest right now or maybe a little later, hm?" the latter's tone sends shivers down the doctor's spine; his voice is exceptionally dark and chilly today.

"ah, uhm, what— what do you mean by that soonyoung?" said the pink-haired doctor, practically stammering.

he's busy attempting to gather his thoughts that he couldn't keep his voice from cracking.

"do you want me to repeat myself, doctor?" the blonde asked, his eyes meeting the doctor's and smirking.

"your eyes only show me terror and hell, and i could feel it all," he added.

jihoon's heart raced, and he felt cold sweat pour from his brow.

"and right now, i really like the look in your dark, sparkling eyes," he said.

"soonyoung—"

before he could finish, the blonde cut him off. "are you perhaps afraid of me right now, doctor?" he asked coldly as their gazes met.

it sent a shiver down the pink-haired doctor's spine, and it would be a stretch to say he wasn't terrified.

a/n :
because i can't seem to fall asleep, i'm practically going insane right now.

i'm up and wide awake and it's already five in the morning.

i know that i'm still fine, but this circumstance is definitely not okay. i can't seem to fall asleep for no apparent reason and i'm owning it by being at my peak creative self and writing.

So, here's another update for you, and while it's not as long as the other ones, I hope you enjoy it. spread love, mate.
