"Well well well, look who came back" Taehyung chuckled/mocked after momentarily looking over his shoulder at your pale state.

You had the urge to pull the middle finger up at him but with a patient present, it would be considered unprofessional.

And you were anything but a professional.

Doctor Kim assigned everyone certain patients each.

Jimin was made sure to get old men as his patients since everyone knew how much trouble he can get in if the patients were women.

Taehyung was assigned patients that were very agitated since he could handle them with no problem. Afterall, Taehyung couldn't care less what others say to him.

And finally, there was you. You were assigned the most simple of patients that came to the hospital, thinking that they were dying when in fact they could just drink honey lemon tea to get better.

You were relieved at the thought but, luck was not on your side for the patients were not the most rational.

The amount of times patients had screamed at you, cried on you and worst of all, vomited on you- you were ready to quit.

You were pretty sure prisoners got better treatment than this.

Thankfully, Jin saw how miserable you were and allowed you to stay with Taehyung instead of Jimin since he knew how distracted Doctor Park can be if you were around.

What he didn't know was that you found Taehyung even more irritating.

You had just finished cleaning up the vomit from the last patient and you had just arrived where Taehyung was.

He was currently dealing with a sixteen year old girl who had accidentally glued her lips together and was glaring at Taehyung with such hatred.

I guess you were lucky that her lips were shut closed, only Asclepius knows what foul language could leave their mouth.

"We're going to have to use warm pure water to melt it off. It may take a good few hours" the girl widened her eyes in disbelief and she began yelling (with her mouth still closed of course).

"Mhm, yes I know. I'm sure you're very busy and need to leave so that you can do other stupid stuff like this" once again, they returned back to their glaring battle.

You simply stood there and watched them with a raised brow, not knowing which was the adult in this pairing.

"Nurse, begin her treatment" Taehyung finally spoke up rudely to one of the nearby nurses who looked to be busy with sorting the patient files at the desk.

He didn't wait for the nurse to respond as he made his way to his next patient.

Shocked at his behaviour to a nurse, you smiled apologetically at the nurse who in return waved you off, already being used to such treatment by Taehyung already.

Now annoyed, you ran after four eyes and walked beside him to his next patient.

"Hey! That was really rude of you"

"I don't have time to waste my breath on please and thank yous. As doctors, we need to use our time as efficiently as possible but, you wouldn't know that now would you" he mocked before stepping on the elevator and you followed soon after.
