Well... I don't think I'll put Eli into a relationship this soon... but it doesn't mean the story is just gonna stuck at the 'friends' stage~

Thx for all the support so far! QwQ

Y/N's POV

I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to help Eli to clean his wound. Was I out of my mind? I turned to look at him and found him talking to Emily, his face was as red as mine. I literally regretted what I said right after it came out of my mouth, his wouldn't like it...

But in the end, Emily was determined that we should do it and she pushed us out of Naib's room, I shot a desperate look to Naib and Margaretha, but they were laughing silently and winking at me too much to be able to help me out of this awkward thing that I was going to do. I rolled my eyes while Emily stuffed her medical kid into my hand, there was not much hope left... guess I just have to get it over with.

Time skip~ (the same one in Eli's POV in last chapter~)

Eli was sitting on the edge of my bed, his face expressionless but the redness never left, his body all tensed up and I couldn't blame him when I thought of the vow that he made. It's not like I want him to do it! But as a doctor, I need to see the wound with my own eyes so the treatment could be better and more successful. I took a deep breath before turning to the medical kid, searching through it while calling out to Eli, he seemed to be frozen at the very spot.

"Eli?" it's ok, I'll just see him as my patient, "do you mind taking your hood off first? I mean, the wound would be easier to work on if I could see what it's actually like..."

"S... sure..." he sounded like someone was strangling him, I felt my cheeks burning as I tried to keep my mind on my work. Think about something, something that could distract me from him... The girl in his memory. Instead of being angry and upset, I now feel a bit lucky that I met her. Well, just in Eli's memory, but it was enough to cool me down and think about what I supposed to feel like towards him.

I heard him gasping and I spun around, wanting to know what was wrong when I saw him having the side of his robe slid down already and I nearly dropped my things. Don't think about it, don't think about it... he's just your patient, Y/N!

I pulled myself out of the mess inside my mind as I found he was bleeding. I rushed to his side and wiped the blood off his shoulder. The next part, would be a bit painful: I have to actual touch the wound. God I'm so nervous right now: "Tell me if it hurts, alright?"

He nodded, his short brown hair was just to the back of his neck and was shining slightly under the warm sunlight in my room. It looked so soft that I wanted to pat him on the head. Twisting my fingers together, I stopped myself in time and started to check the wound. His skin was pale, probably because he was wearing that robe almost all the time. His body was well-built and he had a wiry figure, though from what I could feel, some part of the muscle around his shoulder what cut apart because of the wound...

I started to wrap the bandage around his shoulder after I cleaned the wound. Eli's suddenly gasped and I slowed down, looking at him worriedly. He seemed to have felt my stare and raised his head to give me a comforting smile, telling me that he was ok. I felt my face heating up and my hands started to tremble slightly, this is not good, a doctor should never be distracted when working or something terrible might happens. I took a deep breath and thought of the girl I saw in Eli's memory again, but this time it didn't work. All I could see in my mind was his smile...

"The wound is quite deep..." struggling out of my thoughts, I bended down to get another closer look at the wound on his shoulder and couldn't help frowning. The thing looked like it was biting into the flesh, leaving a dark, horrible gash behind. I felt my nose getting sour again and my vision blurred slightly. What's gotten into me? Probably because I care about him too much...
