The Nearness Of You

Seungri

I keep on glancing at the nurse station's wall clock as I do my chart readings. After half an hour my shift will end and I plan to go back to the bar where Jinnie performs so I can see her again. I will watch her sing and then talk to her after that. I want to see her so badly it's really driving me crazy. Like it's the only thing I want to do all the time and I've been thinking about it for the rest of the day. I need to talk to her about us. What happened last time must mean something not only to me but maybe to her too.

"Dr. Lee, I need a follow up order for my patient's IV fluid." Grace, one of the staff nurses during the 2pm-10pm shift at the Ob-Gyne ward tells me as she hands me her patient's chart.

"Sure." I answer her. I flipped open the metal chart and wrote an order. "Here you go." I smile at her as I hand her back the chart.

"Dr. Lee, I couldn't help not to notice but.." Grace looks at me for awhile as if thinking if she should continue talking or not. I creased my eyebrows and grin at her.

"What?" I tilt my head and ask her.

"Well uh, you kinda look like you're glowing.. Like, you're.."

"In love?" Yoongi's voice came from behind me. He placed an arm over my shoulders. "Mmm hmm, this guy surely is."

"Yoongi-sii, do you really have to tell everyone?" I pinch my friend's cheek and he winced.

Yoongi shoved my hand away and rubbed his cheek, smirking. "It's pretty obvious.  Grace here even noticed. Right, Grace?" He smiles playfully at the nurse in front of us.

"Yah, stop it, Yoongi-ah." I tell him. "I think I'm already done here. Is there anything you need, Grace?" I ask her. Grace shook her head followed by a polite "thank you". Yoongi and I left the nurse's station and went towards the doctor's lounge to meet Yukii and gather our belongings before heading out. She was already there sitting on one of the couches fiddling with her iPhone.

Yukii raised her head as we stepped inside and let out a warm smile. "Done with your rounds?"

"Yup." Yoongi walks towards her and leans down to give her a kiss on the lips. "You tired?"

I shook my head and smile as I make my way towards my locker, I took off my white coat and put it inside. I could hear the two of them mumbling, maybe saying sweet nothings to each other. Those two, there isn't a single day they're not that affectionate with one another. I gather some of my stuff and cleared my throat as I walk towards their direction. "Hey, I gotta go." I tell them. "How 'bout you guys?"

"Where are you heading?" Yukii asks me. Yoongi is now seated beside her, an arm wrapped around her shoulders while his free hand held hers.

"At Central. Off to see Jinnie." I answer her.

Yukii's eyes widened in surprise. "Really now.."

"Mmm hmm," Yoongi butted in. "It looks like hyung  here has a chance at her. Unfortunately."

Yukii elbowed him at the ribs. "Ah, don't listen to him, oppa." She rolls her eyes. "I want to meet her. Can we come with you?"

"What?!" Yoongi exclaimed. "I thought we're--" He was cut off when Yukii casts a look of authority at him. Yoongi just sighed and raised his hands in defeat. "Fine, fine.."

I laugh as I watch the two of them. "C'mon, Yoongi. I want you guys to meet her too you know? You'll like her. She's nice."

"Yeah, yeah.." Yoongi mumbled lazily and Yukii slaps him lightly on his chest.

"Jagiya, don't be so grumpy. Aren't you happy for Riri oppa?  We should support him, ne? And don't you want to meet her too, hmm? I like her. I want to know her, jagi.." Yukii tells her soured faced boyfriend, her lips in a slight pout.

Yoongi looks at her and sighs, "You're lucky I love you and I always find it cute everytime you pout your lips like that." He smiles and pinches the tip of Yukii's nose. "A'right, we'll go."

Yukii beamed at him and kissed him on the lips. "Thank you, jagiya.. I love you.."

I feel a little awkward watching the both of them so I cleared my throat again to remind them I was there. "That's so sweet guys but, can we go now?" I ask them with a raised eyebrow. Yoongi looks at me with a smirk and points a finger at me.

"You're really one lucky bastard." He tells me. "I just wish this night would turn out good for you." He grins at me and I grinned back at him.

I wish for it too, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
