(165,159 Words ≈ 15,000 per chapter) Frank Langdon had fucked up. He knew that as much as everyone who knew what had happened that day. And as much as he hated Dr. Robby for forcing him to stop his residency for a year. Now, ten months later, he comes back into the ER. Only everything changed. Not only does he have to start his last year as a resident again, but the place was different. People who knew about his secret treat him differently, and after a long shift, he couldn't even return to his wife. Because Abby had divorced him after finding out he's an addict. No mercy. His new town apartment wasn't the house and garden he was used to. His work wasn't the same, and people judged him. Even those who act like they don't care. Everyone except that one new nurse. Blond hair seems like they sweetest girl ever. Until he saw her kicking a patients ass. [Started: April 23rd 2026]

At twenty, Clara Greene walked into the hospital alone. At twenty-eight, she's the chief resident everyone depends on-and no one really knows. When her working relationship with Dr. Robby begins to blur into something more, Clara does what she's always done: keeps it contained, controlled, and unspoken. But Robby is used to keeping his distance for a reason. And the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to pretend she's not already under his skin. She falls first. He falls harder. And some lines don't blur quietly-they break.

A nurse who knows when to step in-and when to stay quiet. A doctor who carries more guilt than he'll ever admit. In the space between professionalism and something dangerously close to need, they find comfort in routines, shared exhaustion, and moments that linger longer than they should. In a place where lives are constantly on the line, the hardest thing might be wanting something you were never supposed to touch.

"Be mine." It was never her intention to fall in love again after the agonizing heartbreak she had endured. That was until someone with a smile equivalent to the sun, a heart with the delicacy of rose petals, and embrace as warm as home walked into her life, painted her monochrome picture so meticulously and with such tenderness, that it wasn't too much of a hassle to finally decipher why it was so easy to fall in love with Park Jimin. CEO!Jimin. Alternate Universe. Just a sliver of angst, mostly tooth-rotting fluff. Kind of (?) a slow burn. Attempt at humor. :D
