Serendipity

Chapter 17: My place or yours?

"Can we talk? I need to tell you something." I hope he says yes. I hope he still likes me after all those years. I hope he still chooses me.

"I'm sorry but I can't. I'm currently working on a drama and I need to go home now. I went inside because I thought the sleeping girl looked familiar and it was really you! Anyways, it's so good to see you again. Bye!" He left. Oh my god, I wasn't expecting that! I was stunned. He didn't even let me reply.

The next day. During my break time in the hospital, I sat in the lobby. This hospital was the same hospital from 4 years ago. I waited for him at the lobby then to pick me up. As I was reminiscing my memories with him, I suddenly saw him.

My phone rang. The HR wanted to meet me.

"Come again?" I asked dumbfoundedly.

"A drama will be held in this hospital and I want you to assist the lead actor." The HR head explained calmly.

" I'm an intern, I should be doing intern duties, why should I be an assistant?" I tried to contain my anger.

"This is good marketing for the hospital. You are an intern that's why we picked you. Besides, this is only for a week. Think of it as a break. Now, go to the 3rd floor so that you can meet the drama staff."

I forced myself to go to the 3rd floor. I'm in a bad mood. I didn't go to med school just to be an assistant. I'm tired but this is not the break I wanted. I opened the door to the room I was supposed to be in and my gosh, the gods really did me a favor again.

Jung Hae In was the lead actor. I am going to be his assistant for one whole week. I take back what I said. Thank you gods!

He looked shocked and I was shocked but happy. I pretended not to know him to avoid rumors.

"Hello Everyone! I am Dr. Elle and I'll be assisting the lead actor in preparation for the drama. Nice to meet you all!" I avoided his eye contact.

The manager approached me to introduce him. "This is actor, Jung Hae In." I greeted him formally. He greeted me back with utmost polite. His eyes surprised to see him.

"You should get a room." The manager gestured to me to move out of the room.

"What?" I blushed.

"You should get a room so you can start preparing for him. This will be his first medical role so I want him to be as good as you are, okay?" Oh, that's what he meant. I should get myself together. We both walked out.

"Yah! You didn't tell me yesterday that this was the hospital you're shooting at."

"You didn't tell me you were an intern in this hospital either."

"We really should talk after this is over. I have so many things to tell you!"

"My place or yours?" He asked nonchalantly.

Shit! Why does he have to be so cool about that? I used to be like him but now I'm just a ticking time bomb. Everytime he talks, I keep staring at his lips. I just want to kiss him. My regret is turning me into a lustful woman. Get yourself together, Elle!

"My house." I acted cool.

After the shoot. I didn't bother to wait for him. I left early because my apartment is still a mess. I need to clean up before he comes. I don't want to confess to a dirty environment because it will only decrease my chances.

I'm in my apartment. It took me so long to clean the living room. Right after I finished, the doorbell rang. I was still panting. I opened the door and it's him, holding a bag of drinks and chicken.

"I... ughh... cleaned which explains my haggard look so don't judge me. I motioned him to come in."

"I'm just going to take a quick shower so make yourself at home."

He smiles.

Right after my shower, I realized I forgot to bring my towel with me. My bathroom is outside my bedroom.

"Oppa! Can you bring me my towel? It's in my room. Thanks!"

"Yah." He said annoyed.

"Ahjussi, jebalyo." I shouted.

He laughs.

"I thought you didn't want me to call you ahjussi?" I asked from the bathroom.

"That's because I liked you before but now it's all good." He said happily.
