"Can you hear me, Minju-ah?"

Minju was left speechless again.

"Y-yujin. What are you doing here alone? And is that a m-mask?"

Minju felt stupid. She doesn't even have to be this nervous around Yujin cause she is JUST a patient.

'Keep yourself, Minju.'

She have to remind herself that every moment, she guess. She have to be professional and mature in this field of work. Those things were something Minju can do exceptionally good before, but now, Yujin was on her way on destructing it.

"Yes Minju-unnie! Joohyun gave it to me."

"Dr. Bae Joohyun?"

Yujin nodded and showed the black mask the head doctor gave her.

"Why did she gave it to you?" Minju went closer into Yujin's direction to inspect the mask. Maybe there's some medicine sprayed in there or something?

'Nice guess, Minju.'

She tried hard not to roll her eyes at her own stupidity.

Yujin looked at the mask before shrugging.

"She told me to use this as a placement to the mask I keep on using. She also told me that I can dress casually already."

Minju furrowed her brows at that.

'Why would she?'

"Did Dr. Bae told you why?"

Yujin looked at Minju seriously this time, red eyes digging right into the intern's own.

Minju was taken a back at the sudden silence but immediately eased back when Yujin showed her the eye smile she had grown accustomed to.

"Dr. Bae always do so annually. She told me that it would be nice if i'll be treated like a normal person once in a while."

Minju grimaced at the choice of words and it's obvious at the way she furrowed her brows even deeper (if that's even possible).

Yujin merely chuckled before placing both of her thumbs into the eyebrows before massaging it lightly.

Minju can feel how soft her thumb and her touches are. She never felt so gentle before yet Yujin managed to make her be by just the mere massages of her thumbs.

"It actually never been that interesting and successful before but I think this will work this time."

Minju stopped herself from whining as Yujin retracted her touch from her brows. She felt emptier but why would even she be empty in the first place?

Yujin is JUST a patient. And she's an intern. There are boundaries separating two different statuses and that also applies to Minju and Yujin.

So after gathering her thoughts, Minju mustered a forced smile at the patient.

"I hope so too. But it will be a bit weird that I won't see you in your hospital gown anymore."

Minju meant for it to be a joke but Yujin took it obviously the wrong way.

"Huh? I can just say no to Joohyun if you want to. I don't need to dress that casually."

Minju saw how frantic Yujin became. Her red eyes are obviously shaking and she felt her hands holding Yujin's arm to stop her from shaking too much.

"Hey hey. It's fine. I was just kidding. You don't have to follow everything I say okay?" Minju reminded the kid.

Yujin looked at her for a few minutes before nodding her head.
