The Kissing Booth : Fallout [Completed] ✅

Chapter 2

TAEHYUNG

It's been a week since I've started at Seoul General. For the most part, it's been really good. The staff are friendly and the working hours are what I'd expected, difficult and rigourous. But I'm not complaining about that, I am however, much put out by my mentor.

I don't know how they assigned us but I suspect it wasn't a choice, as I'm sure he wouldn't have chosen me. My mentor Dr Kim Namjoon, Specialist Paediatric Surgeon and Registrar at Seoul General, is not someone to mess with.

Being family friends makes no difference to him. He treats me like a lesser mortal and doesn't care who knows it. I haven't complained to appa or papa per se, but I know they see disappointment reflected in my eyes when they ask me about work.

My parents are amazing to me. They understand my need for space at work and don't hound me. I respect them for allowing me to grow on my own strengths. But Dr Namjoon has other plans for me. Nothing I do is ever right. My co-collegues will usually look down sadly when they hear me getting another scolding from him.

By the end of the week, I'm on my last thread with him. As I head to my locker in the student doctors' quarter, I overhear a heated conversation between Dr Namjoon and someone else. I can't place the other person's voice. By the gist of it though, it seems they are arguing about work ethic with the junior doctors.

I realise, I shouldn't be privy to this and make my way out of the area only to be pulled harshly against a door between the locker rooms that I didn't notice before. I'm shoved harshly inside and the darkness envelops me.

I try to get free from my accoster's grip but he's damn strong and I give up after a bit. He flicks a switch next to my head and a faint light goes off in the distance. That's when I get a full frontal of the man who has me pinned against the wall, his body flush on my own, his face just centimetres from mine. It's Dr Namjoon himself.

I'm momentarily shocked and speechless as he presses himself harder against me.

"What are you doing lurking around here?"

His voice is full of authority and I pale at his piercing gaze. I look down and turn my face to the side.

"I-I wasn't lurking doctor. I was in the student doctors' rooms."

He turns my head so I'm facing him. Our eyes lock and I stop my squirming. I feel his hands run down my cheeks, ghosting over my neck and landing on my hips. Fuck! I now have a little problem down there. He smirks as he looks down and notices the slight bulge in my jeans.

"My my....Dr Taehyung, I didn't know you were such a naughty boy." He winks at me, lasciviously licking his bottom lip. I feel him press against my hard on and moan. I can feel his arousal through his chinos. My breathing becomes fast as I watch his lips come closer to my own, ghosting them.

Fuck! He's so sexy.

Abruptly, he moves away from me and I'm left flushed and humiliated with myself that I let my body take over my mind so easily.

"Don't you dare breathe a word of this and what you heard to anyone. Do you understand me Dr Taehyung?"

I nod my head stupidly, unable to formulate anything coherent in my brain. He walks away from me then and I slide to the ground, holding my knees up against my chest, trying to regulate my breathing.

What have you done to me Dr Kim Namjoon?

.......

"Taehyunggie, is everything alright with you," my papa asks me. "You seem a little distracted."

We're sitting in the hospital cafeteria waiting for appa to join us. I can't seem to think on anything after what happened earlier with Dr Namjoon. Papa is very perceptive so I have to be careful how I answer him.

"It's nothing papa. I just don't think my mentor likes me much. He treats me the worst from his other subs," I moan, complaining to my parent.

"Awww baby. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Should I speak to him? You know we're old friends right?"

"No! Please don't papa! I don't want people to think I'm getting preferential treatment because appa and you are my parents. It wouldn't be fair on the others either. I guess, I just have to suck it up and bear it for the next two years."

"You know, you can request to have your mentor changed? Perhaps, appa can assist you. What do you think?"

"I'll think about it papa. I just don't want to create waves, you know."

He nods his head in understanding. Papa is very easy to talk to. He's not judgemental and he listens to me when I speak. He respects my decisions and opinions and it endears me to him. I'm so fortunate to have him in my life.

The doors to the cafeteria swing open and in walks appa with none other than the witness to my humiliation, Dr Namjoon. He smirks in my direction as they walk over to us. Appa pecks papa on the cheek and they sit down to join us for a bit.

I can't look at him. I feel as though his eyes are boring into me. I'm monosyllabic when they ask me anything, choosing to concentrate on my sandwich rather than engage with them.

When I get up to leave, to my utmost horror and surprise, Dr Namjoon decides to follow to the ward with me. I wave to my parents and notice a frown on papa's face as I exit the caf.

Dr Namjoon chooses to walk a few paces behind me. I can feel his smirk on my back. Is he checking out my ass? No way! He wouldn't!

As we reach the nurses station, he leans in close to my ear and whispers, "I want to see you in my office after ward rounds."

He walks off then. But the command in his voice is unmistakable. My breathing becomes erratic as I watch him turn the corner. I'm fucked!

Thoughts anyone?

For those who haven't read the prequel, The Kissing Booth, and have come straight to this story, it is okay to read it on its own. Although, it would be great if you read the first book to understand more of the family dynamic which will feature heavily in this book.

For my Jimin enthusiasts, don't worry, he will feature in this story. The next chapter is for him. 😙💖

I purple you 💜
