I didn't know that Doc Jaehyun was this busy during his duty in this hospital. He told me that he usually finished his work hour at 4:00 in the afternoon. However, it's already 5:00 in the afternoon, and yet he's still not done. He must've lost track of time again. He was assigned in the E.R. so most probably, he naturally needs to extend his work.
He allows me to stay in the pantry of the hospital. As he said, I could bide my time here waiting for him. I'm not complaining, though. I'm more grateful he agreed to make me come here. It's obvious he's busy. Besides, knowing that's he's this busy right now, I couldn't help but be stirred knowing he didn't refuse my invitation to eat with him.
However, being alone means obtaining tons of time to think. My brain is full of clouded thoughts, and it is inevitably racing down my spine.
I scarcely pause from thinking when Jaehyun arrived.
"Rosé." He called out.
I blinked to brush off the thoughts away as I gave him a cheerful smile. He then sat in front of me.
"'You're not busy anymore?" I started.
"Yes. Sorry if I had to leave you hanging here."
"It's okay. It's your job. My apologies for insisting to dine with you."
"You should've just gone home, I told you." He said.
"Why not? I just want to eat with you here. Besides, I want to get a taste of hospital food. That's all!"
"Oh?" There was a hint of mockery in his voice. I know he knows I am concealing something.
"D-Definitely!"
"Okay." He shrugged.
He surveyed me with his narrow eyes. I tried to keep up doing the staring game he had done, but I looked away immediately. I wholly can't lie with my eyes.
Before I even manage to assert something, Jaehyun stated that he's going to order for us.
I offered my money to him, but he just stared at it then to me as if what I did is insulting. His chivalry is showing again. If I don't know him fully, I won't believe he is full of chivalry. I mean, he's arrogant and snobbish.
He abandoned me hanging in our table without asking me what I like. I guess he did that intentionally. It is my first time here so basically, I have no sole idea about the menu.
I was just observing his back while he's ordering. That's when I realized he's bulky. His shoulder is broad and ample. It's blatant he goes to the gym. I wonder how could he juggle that? Being a doctor consumes a lot of his time, so how?
I composed myself when he turned around while holding a tray in his hands. Before he even walks his way towards our table, a woman wearing a coat like Jaehyun blocked his way. Like him, the woman's holding a tray in her hands. She wasn't facing my way hence I could only see her back. She's pretty tall or was it just because of the heels? I don't know. What I am sure is; she is a doctor as well.
