If Rosé Park were to describe Dr. Jaehyun Jung before, she'd say without thinking twice that he's a snobbish, self-centered antipathic guy who doesn't tinker a damn. However, now that she got to know him better, she figured out that Jaehyun is a man...

Jaehyun's quiet. Frugal in words and reserve. His face is habitually on default. But I don't mind him as a company.
When we finished eating, he told me he was going home and offered to drive me to my apartment.
However, what I blurted out is...
"I don't want to go home still, Doc."
Jaehyun frowned impatiently. It got me thinking if he practiced this often in the mirror because somehow even his outstanding features are all scrunched up, he's still—dare say it—cute.
"Why?" He asked sternly.
I don't want to tell him about the emotional reason why I don't want to be alone; the provocative article. I was pathetic the last time I was with him, I don't want to be pitiful again right now.
"Uh, nothing much. I just want... to borrow one of your medical books," I lied. "You have anatomy advances?"
He critically examined my face as if he knows that I'm blatantly lying. Nevertheless, he enables me to slip away.
"Yes. I have,"
"Would you permit me to borrow it?"
He nodded. "I'm just going to bring it to your apartment if you need it urgently. My duty's already done, anyway. Besides, you'll be taking a ride with me. You can fetch my book there then I'll take you home."
"Huh? Is it prohibited for me to study in your place?"
"Why in my place? You can study in your apartment." He frowned.
"Eh..." I clamp my lip as I think critically. "I want to... see your magnificent library. Pretty sure your study room is nice!"
God. What I'm saying is completely embarrassing just to make me go to his house. I don't want to be lonesome right now. It makes my inner devil ramble. It will be blue if I don't have any company.
"You sure that's the only reason?" He raises a brow.
"Yes! I also want to see the books you own. There are some medical books there that will be used for my next years right?"
"It's still a no, Rosé." His prominent jaw clenched.
"I mean no harm, Doc! Pay for what you're cousin is doing to me."
I was talking nonsense but I'm still gonna push this through.
"If you insist." He rolled his eyes.
"Yes! I'll cook for you to give back." I smiled widely.
It's a win-win situation form. Besides the fact that I'm not going to sulk alone, I can also take advantage of advanced study. I'm hitting two birds with one stone.

When we arrived in front of his house, I observed the exterior of the place first. Just by merely staring at it, you'd know that it is a one-story bungalow house.
