Hindrance

It was already Wednesday morning, another day at the clinic. Five days since that party on Friday, that stranger still lingers on Jinhwan's mind. He doesn't even know why he can't get him out of his thoughts, maybe because their argument was still left hanging without a winner, yeah maybe that's why, Jinhwan hates losing an argument so yeah. Jinhwan arrived with his secretary already there, he greeted her good morning and helped her arrange the reception. They heard the door open and at the same time the bell rang..

"Hi everyone! Good morning!"

As soon as Jinhwan heard that bubbly voice he knew who it was, "Glad you're back Donghyuk." Jinhwan is really glad his assistant Donghyuk is back, it has been hectic when he was gone. Donghyuk attended a seminar in Busan, he's a smart kid. He was still a fresh graduate when Jinhwan hired him, at first he was reluctant to hire him because he's still new at this industry, but reading his resume and testing his skills Jinhwan was flabbergasted to know a fresh grad that has skills, and so he hired him. Donghyuk said he still has many things to learn and so he applied to Jinhwan's clinic when he saw an opening.

"How was the seminar?" Jinhwan asked Donghyuk while reading his schedule for the day Suhyun gave him. "It was a lot of fun Doc! I learned a lot and hopefully I get to practice it here." he said, smiling his brightest smile ever. Jinhwan swears his smile is so blinding, "Oh you will get your chance kid."

*cling*

They were busy fooling around, they didn't even hear the door open until they heard a voice, "Hi good morning." Jinhwan swears he has heard that hoarse voice somewhere. It can't be right? Tell me it's not him, "Oh yes, pardon me, do you have an appointment? Or a walk-in?" Jinhwan heard Suhyun say to the man who entered. Jinhwan turned around to see if his hunch was right, please be wrong, he prayed it's not him. But when he fully faced the door, there was the man at the party, the asshole, he's wearing a muscle tee with a cap on, standing at the door with a dog in his arms. Oh my fucking god, THOSE FUCKING ARMS. His dog started squirming under his hold and so his biceps contracts while calming down his dog. "A walk-in, actually it's my first time here so.."

"Oh for first timers you should fill up this form first for the doctor to know the background of your pet. What a cute pet I might say.." Junhoe smiled and uttered a thanks to her, he then proceeded to fill up the form. Jinhwan is just standing there, continuing looking at him, wondering what Junhoe is doing here and he didn't know he had a pet, he didn't see his dog when he was at his party back then.

"Here you go.."

Suhyun takes the form and walks to Jinhwan, "Doc, your first client is ready for you. Here's the form , I'll call him when you're ready." taking the form from Suhyun and thanked her, he glanced at Junhoe and caught him looking at him, Jinhwan didn't reacted instead he broke their stare and started walking to the treatment room, Donghyuk followed him but Jinhwan stopped him and told him he didn't need his assistance with Junhoe. This got Donghyuk confused nut he didn't dare to ask any questions about it and continued talking to Suhyun about his trip.

Suhyun then saw the light in the reception glowed signalling Jinhwan was ready to take in the client, she ushered Junhoe to the treatment room and left. Junhoe just stands there at the door, nervous but why would Junhoe be nervous, maybe the way Jinhwan glowed when he entered the door earlier. Junhoe was stunned, 5 minutes already passed him just standing at the door, he was about to knock but he was caught off guard when Jinhwan opened the door. Junhoe put down his hand and smiled, "Hi.."

Jinhwan just looked at him emotionless, "Come in.."

Junhoe stepped inside and put his dog down at the table, he looked around the room and said "You have a nice clinic you got here, how long have you been a vet now?" Jinhwan ignored him. He was not in the mood to chit chat because he knew Chanwoo is part of this mix up, he just want to murder Chanwoo right now. Junhoe didn't pay much attention as to why Jinhwan just ignored him, he's still this hard to get huh. "So... Mr. Koo, I'm doctor Kim Jinhwan. You can call me Mr. Kim, I insist because I take professionalism seriously." Jinhwan came closer to the dog and petted him, "Aren't you a cute one, so beautiful. Now what would be the problem with you?" Junhoe doesn't know why but hearing Jinhwan talking cutely to his dog irked something inside him.
