"I have tons of materials that I should have bought earlier, Doc, for my mock practical tomorrow but again, look at me. My time got consumed with crying." I gulped the beer.

We're still at the back of his car, drinking and conversing to each other.

"You shouldn't have spent your time crying then,"

"I don't want to restrain the sadness within me because it will just explode overtime. It will be more rigid for me if I inhibit it. Not good for the heart. You ought to know that; you are a doctor." I swig once again.

He sighed, "As a doctor, I too should know that I have an occupation to prioritize in the first place. When you're an actual doctor, will you just run away from work because you're sad? You can't do that."

"Obviously, that is different! I'm just a mere Med. Student," I defended.

I was about to drink again from my bottle but Jaehyun got it from my hand. I wasn't able to have it back because his force was too strong.

"It's the same. Know your obligations before emotions."

"Wow with that quotable quotes, Doc. Are you seriously a medical doctor or an advisor?" I chuckled.

"Silly," He ruffled my hair. "I wonder why Junhoe keeps on doing his affairs. I think you're not enough-"

I was stunned. Does he think of me like that? I am not enough, seriously?

I did not wait for him to continue. Instead, I stand and walked away from his car.

How dare he say that to me? Earlier he is as gentle as the pillow, now he's different. I can't understand what's wrong with him.

I have no single knowledge about Jaehyun's area, but I'm taking the risks just so I could get away from him. He's a jerk for consoling me yet ruins me after. Before I even move further away, I felt a hand in my wrist which I know was Jaehyun. I glared at him.

"What?!" I shouted.

I don't know why I get furious easily today. Either my emotion hormones are too strong, or this is just an effect of alcohol, I am not quite sure. What I know is, it's just circulating between those two mentioned.

I don't usually get offended by his words because I know he's straightforward. But now, I can't accept it. It mortifies me rightfully.

He caressed my elbow as I continue glaring at him. When his warm yet so rough hand registered on my skin, I got unknown goosebumps.

"You should've let me finish first," He said.

I resumed glaring at him. His eyes are displaying guilt and at the same time, fondness. He looks somehow pitiful. Almost looking like a puppy and I must confess that this is the most adorable thing he did so far.

But still, I'm mad at him.

"Sorry if that came out wrong. I just wanted to point out that you're not just enough," he sighed, "Rosé, you are too much."
