"Ever seen a baton this big?"

"Oh? Well, if it isn't Ying and Yang finally coming to join us-"

"Shut up, Park" Taehyung cut off the pink haired doctor who pretended to look hurt by the younger's words.

"Wha- my poor heart- Y/N! Kiss it better?" Jimin asked before puckering his lips at you. Rolling your eyes, you reached over to effortlessly flick his forehead and making him wince back in pain.

"Ow!"

"Since when was your mouth, your heart? And for once، I agree with hot head over there, just stay quiet, will you?" And with that, you walked past Doctor Park who was yet again pretending to be hurt.

"Alright, you three. Stop messing around, we have a-"

"A busy day ahead of us. We know" you three said in unison, surprising Doctor Min as you did so.

"...ahem, well yes. Let's start making rounds" and just like that, your morning flew by like a blur.

You met up with a lot of patients of all variations.

Some were old.
Some were young.
Some were only mildly ill.
Some were majorly ill.

What they all had in common was that they needed help.

Too bad that you barely contributed to them at all.

"Woah, how many patients did we see this morning?" Jimin asked while digging in to his pasta salad after sitting beside you on the table.

After a few hours of working, it was already time for lunch.

"Fourty-nine" Taehyung replied before slurping up his black noodles.

You felt your eyes bulge at this.

Forty-nine?! I could have broken the record today?!

Groaning internally, you let yourself to fall back on the chair and slowly slide down in to nothingness.

"Y/N? What's wrong?" Doctor Park asked after momentarily glancing over at you.

Should I tell him? That I'm actually a fake doctor and if I want to stay and not get in to trouble, I need to beat Chief Kim's record to stay?

Pffft, yeah right, Y/N.

"...I need to beat Chief Kim's record if I need to stay here" you sighed out, which in turn made Taehyung choke on his noodles from laughing.

"What?! You're not going to stay?! You can't leave!" You looked over at Jimin who was furrowing his brows in concern. Your heart warmed at the thought that at least someone would be sad to see you go.

"Aw, thanks Jimin-"

"Not before I date you!"

Ah, yeah. I forgot that he was Pervert Park.

"I was worrying for nothing then" Doctor Kim finally added after sorting out his breathing.

This intrigued you.

"Worried?" The other chuckled before responding.

"You were destined to fail from the very beginning. I'd start clearing your locker if I were you" he taunted before picking up his tray and leaving with a smug smile on his lips.

"Wha- pfft, tch- destined to fail? Did you hear that, Jimin-" you looked to your left to see the male gone, making you frown in confusion once you realised that you were alone at the cafeteria table.

However, it wasn't long until you found out where Doctor Park had run off to as your eyes landed on him flirting with a nurse who was eating her lunch also.

"...for once, am I the only normal one here?"

"You look pretty normal to me" a new voice spoke up behind you, making you jump in surprise before looking back to see a familiar male.

Except that you wished that he wasn't familiar.

"Can I sit here? There's no free tables" it was the doctor from the children's ward and the same doctor who helped you in the locker room.

Unable to speak, you watched as the older chuckle to himself at your reaction before sitting across from you.

"I won't be a bother, I promise" he sent a bright heart smile your way as you continued to stare at him with bewilderment.

Was this the same guy who was seething at you in the children's ward yesterday?

The same doctor that looked at you with such disgust?

Why was he being so nice now?

Wait... maybe he has a twin?! Oh my- that would explain so much-

Pleased with yourself that you thought you had cracked the mystery, you began eating your meal in silence.

However, the older had scanned your silhouette and tried to remember if he had seen you before.

"...wait, have I seen you before?" Your heart stopped. Yes, it was obvious he had seen you before but, which twin was this one? You were only hoping that it was the locker room doctor.

"Err, yeah you have... we've met before-"

"Ah! I know you! You're one of the new doctors, right? The one from the locker room?" You felt your heart ease once you realised it was the nice twin.

"Yeah! Thank you so much for that Doctor...?" you could finally thank him properly for the time he saved you.

"Ah- sorry, my name is Doctor Jung Hoseok and you must be Doctor L/N?" you were confused at this since he had the same name as the mean twin but then you realised that they would obviously have the same last name.

"Well, thank you, Doctor Jung and yes, I'm Doctor L/N" you kind of felt guilty lying to your saviour but what could you do?

"I've heard many good things about you" this caught your attention.

"Really?! From who?" It was hard to believe unless he was somehow talking to your mother.

The other chuckled, clearly amused at your response.

"Yes and from Chief Kim. He says that you've continued to surprise him throughout this whole week" for some reason, it felt like all you ever wanted to hear was that Chief Kim was seeing you in a good light.

All the stress that had crawled up to eat away at you suddenly scurried off and you could finally breathe.

"That's a relief" you breathed out, not knowing you were holding in your breath this whole time.

Without a warning, you saw as the light brown haired doctor placed his banana milk on your tray, making you look up at him with confused eyes.

"It's just a little gift for your hard work. You can do this!" He raised both of his fists to his chest and gave you a determined grin.

You couldn't help but copy his smile.

"I can do this!"
