"That stupid Doctor wasted my day... now all the shops are close" you huffed while searching for your keys in your bag.

Wait, where is my bag?, you frowned while thinking maybe you didn't even take your small bag with you today.

Then you remembered.

It was still hanging in Doctor Min's coat hanger in his office.

"...of course today got worse" you groaned before walking up the stairs of your apartment building and looking at your phone to see that it was 7PM.

You didn't really live in the nicest of neighbourhoods but it was really all you could afford.

After your father's death, your mother had to take up being the money earner of the family. It was tough since she had never worked before, especially with looking after a child at the same time. However, she managed to pull through and thankfully you were able to live comfortably.

Until now.

Neither of you had jobs and you had bills to pay.

After trudging up the long staircase and reaching the seventh floor, you prayed that you had left the door open this morning on your way out.

Reaching to the dented doorknob, you began twisting it and luckily enough, it was open.

"...should I be happy that it's open or should I be angry that I left it open this morning?" You muttered before sighing in defeat and entering the apartment.

The place was quiet and dark, worrying you slightly since your mother would be cooking dinner around this time.

"...Mum?" You called out.

"In here!- *cough*" the voice came from your mother's room. Relieved that she was still here, you quickly rushed over to see that the woman was laying in her bed looking extremely tired.

"Mum! Are you okay?" You exclaimed as you rushed over to her side.

"Hm? Of course *cough cough* I've just did some more *cough* exercise today"

Exercise? Your mother never exercised since she knew that her asthma would act up.

"Exercise? What do you mean?" Watching as guilt washed over her, you could only worry more.

"...well, I knew that you working at that Cafe wouldn't be enough to pay the bills and I want you to go *cough cough* back to college again... so I've been looking around for some jobs-"

"Mum! You know you can't go back to work!" It had ached your heart once you heard that she had been walking around all day searching for a job just like you.

"I know... but what else can we do? I don't want to burden you with my health" it had hurt to see that her daughter was now working and caring for her instead of living her life like she should be.

"...don't go looking around for jobs again, okay? We'll manage" even though you lost your job, you made sure to not let your mother know, scared that it would worry her and worsen her health.

"We can't... we have to pay for rent soon and not to mention the hospital bills-"

"It's okay! I got a better job! I can pay for it all!" Your outburst scared your mother.

"...better job? What better job?" Biting your lip, you knew that it was a bad idea from the start... but at this point, did you really have any options left?

----------------------next day----------------------

"Doctor Min... are you alright? You've been chewing that pen for awhile now" the reception nurse pointed out as she watched the warm blonde male lean against the desk. He was staring at the entrance of the hospital while biting on a pen lid, thinking how could he have let you slip through his fingers like that.

"When I catch that woman..." finally, he stopped chewing the pen as he threw it in the bin next to him but proceeded to grab another one from his pocket to also chew on.

Yoongi was annoyed.

The nurse gulped in fear before carrying on doing her work.

Yesterday, the Pulmonologist needed to track you down by looking for your mother's records since she was his patient. However, he was denied access as someone had removed him from being Ms. L/N's Doctor.

He already knew who was the culprit.

"What's up, Yoongi?" A new voice called out. The mentioned male looked to his left to see one of the new general surgeons that had joined this week.

Instead of saying anything, a simple glare from the blonde was all that was needed to put the new Doctor in his place.

"Sorry, Doctor Min..." sighing in aggravation, Yoongi pushed himself off the desk before continuing.

"Where's Doctor Kim?" Unfortunately for the experienced Doctor, he was set to look after the two newbies while he worked in A&E for awhile.

The thought of taking care of two amateurs had nearly sent him over with irritation.

"He's just clocked in, should be here any second now-" and just like that, another person had joined the two.

"Sorry *pant* for being late *pant* it won't happen again" the male apologised while tucking in his shirt and fixing his round glasses.

"It better not. I want you two to get ready for making rounds" both nodded before walking off to wash their hands and to get their coats.

Yoongi sighed before reminding himself of what to do about finding you.

Perhaps he was wasting his time and his stress was showing in work now.

Before he could head over to the A&E, he felt a hand grab his shoulder and whip him around.

The force nearly made him stumble as his eyes landed on the perpetrator.

"...you..." he breathed out, shocked to see you standing their with a hard look on your face.

"...I want my bag back...

...and I want to accept your offer"
