"I really didn't expect you to be this type of a doctor. I'm really disappointed" I said looking straight into his eyes. Even saying that I could hear my heartbreak. As much as I didn't want to say it, I felt like I had to.
A hospital in the middle...

"I don't want to be like them," I whispered. Suddenly I felt the cold air around me become warm.
"Eunha, you aren't like them. You are nowhere near those people" Beomgyu's voice was close to my ear as his strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his body as my head rested on his hard chest. "I always thought I was a good doctor and I was doing my job, but since I came here, I was shocked at the reality that you go through. I never imagined it. It's different from the city hospital."
"Do you still want to go back?" I asked as I pulled away to look at him
"Why do you want me to stay?" He asked, smirking, teasing me while wiggling his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and turned to leave. "Okay, I'm just kidding", he said as he laughed and put an arm around my shoulder as we walked towards the staff room
"Well, at least we share one thing in common," he said. I looked at him confused, "Both kicked out of the city hospital after a patient died", Beomgyu said, smiling
"Is that a thing to be proud of?" I asked, and his smile dropped as he shook his head
"Aren't you on the night call? Why are you following me? I'm going to sleep," I said
"Well, I will tuck you in bed" He chuckled
"Do I look like a kid to you?" I asked, pushing his arm off my shoulder
"Just kidding. Just to make sure you are okay," He said, laughing.
"I'm fine. I promise," I said as we entered the staff room, and I went straight to bed.
"There we go," Beomgyu said as he tucked the blanket over my body
"You should go," I said
"Do you need a goodnight kiss as well?" he asked teasingly, and suddenly I felt my face heat up as I remembered the moment that we had before the nurse came in rushing to inform us about the emergency.
We almost kissed back then.
"Forget it," I told him, more like telling myself to forget that moment. I looked up at him, and he was serious.
"Eunha," he whispered. Every time he says my name, butterflies go crazy in my stomach.
"Why?" I asked with a quiet voice
"if you want me to stay. I will. If you want me to leave. I will. You just have to say it," Beomgyu said. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to tell him to stay. Stay here with me. But what if he doesn't want to? What if he wants to go back? I don't want to be the reason for him to stay here if he doesn't want to
"What if you regret it?" I asked. He just stared at me without saying anything. it seemed like he was thinking, "Why do you want to leave?"
"I'm scared," he whispered. I felt my stomach drop. What was he scared about? Is he scared of someone inside of this hospital? I sat up and was about to grab his wrist to pull him closer and ask why he was scared, but he took a step back.
