hospital au !

"mashi, did you eat- oh. are you, okay?" my voice softened when i saw mashiho sitting on his chair with his eyes closed and his Airpods on both of his ears.

he recognized my presence instantly and opened his eyes to greet me with a subtle smile. "come in," he said with a gentle voice.

"s-sure," i mentally slapped myself for stuttering, it was embarrasing oh god. i heard him chuckle lightly as he sip the last of his coffee and removed both of his Airpods, "why are you stuttering?"

"i think i'm interrupting something. i'm sorry," i smiled apologetically. he shook his head and checked his silver watch for the time, "is your shift over? you should go home already,"

"i wanted to see your face before going home," a voice inside my head spoke but i didn't let it be heard. i sat on the sofa across his desk and massaged my head, "yeah, but i'm hungry so i wanted to ask if you want dinner together?"

he stood up and sat beside me with a worried and irritated expression on his face, "does your head hurt? i told dr.jung to spread your work fairly with the other residents but of course-,"

"he didn't listen," we said in unison and laughter filled the room. "typical dr.jung," i snickered. "so, did you eat already?" i asked and faced him.

"his side profile is amazing," i shove the thought away. he faced me with a sad smile, "yeah i ate already," i let out a small "oh" sound and nodded as i stuff my hands on my coat's pocket.

"but, i can always eat more," he added and laughed.

i licked my lips as mashiho opens the container one by one. he ordered the cheese tteokboki we always ate when we were still med students along with tuna gimbap. coca cola was also present.

he let out an amused laugh while opening the last container, "the food won't run away you know," he sat down beside me and opened a pair of chopsticks, ready to dig in.

"it's been a long while since we had this," i told him excitedly without looking at him. i scooped out a large amout of rice cakes to my bowl and immediately took a mouthful on my mouth.

i instantly smiled with the familiar spicy delicious flavor. "it's still so good," i exclaimed. mashiho opened a can of coke and placed it in front of me, "y/n-ah," he called with a quiet tone.

his tone made me stop from taking another bite. he only usually use that voice when he has a problem or have stuff that's bothering him. "yes? is there something going on?" i placed down my bowl and looked at him.

he opened another can of coke and sipped a little bit. "me and jiyun fought a while ago," he paused for a second and grabbed a gimbap roll and placed it in his mouth. "i wanted to ask you what i can buy for her as a peace offering," he said.

i remained silent, jiyun is his girlfriend for about 4 months now. i never liked her, she never liked me either. i have nothing against her but she just have this vibe that makes me dislike her. the same goes to our friends.

junkyu once told mashiho that he caught jiyun with another guy on a café but mashiho strongly denied that it was just an "old friend" of hers.

"can i ask why you guys fought?" i asked. he sighed, "you know just some couple stuff. nothing too extreme, it's my fault anyways," i rolled my eyes with what i was hearing.

"are you sure it's your fault?" i took another mouthful of the rice cakes. he sat back and smiled, "yes, it's my fault,"

"i believe it's not, dr.takata," i looked back at him and smiled. he raised his eyebrow, "how did you say so?"

"i know you. if it's your fault you probably went to the person and apologized no matter who they are, what you're doing, you'll approach them first," he sighed again.

"it's just, i'm monitoring a patient i operated in the afternoon," he explained and closed his eyes. "but your resident is on the night shift tonight. and the surgery was just a minor one and there's nothing urgent to monitor anyways?"

"just, tell me what to do," he said, giving up. "break up with her. that's what you should do," i answered and sipped on my can of cola.

he sat up straight and faced me with furrowed eyebrows. "what, do you mean?" he asked still with a calm voice.

i shrugged, "find someone who can love you more and not someone who can hurt you along the way,"

he stood up and crossed his arms on his chest, "i'll never do that!" he raised his voice. i flinched a bit but i didn't made it obvious. i took a last bite and wiped my mouth with a napkin and stood up as well.

"contact me if you broke up with her," i said without looking at him in the eyes and walked past him, going to the door to go out. i was not in the mood for an arguement.

"then i'll never contact you again,"

my hand slipped on the doorknob, not believing mashiho's words. i turned around with teary eyes, "w-what?" my heart was pounding loudly.

he didn't turn around to face me. "i said, i'll never contact you ever again," he remained calm. i scoffed and put my hand on my burning forehead, "how can you, how can you say that to your long-time friend who knows you more!"

"because i can. i can because my love for her is stronger than my love for my friends and even stronger than i love myself,"

i painfully smiled and nodded slowly with his words. i looked down to my feet and swallowed my saliva.

"sure, i hope we'll never contact each other again dr.takata,"
