Tuesday

"Come in!" Miyeon said

The door opens with Mingi and the other end

"Oh hey Mingi, more questions?" She said

"Yup!" He lays down on the sickbay

"Is nursing what you really want to pursue?" He asked

"Yes, is my dream job. I still remember what my parents told me about my grandparents, they both fell ill and at that time hospital fees cost a lot even until now but this time people can get employment discount I guess you could call it."

"Those who don't work won't have this advantage but for workers, they get a lot of subsidies and one of them is medical bills, hospitals bill and so that's why I joined nursing to help my family get the best treatment they can get because I'm a nurse," She explained

"Wow," Mingi awed

"What about you? Is being a producer your dream job?" Miyeon asked

"Yes but I never really had a thought on why I want it, I guess is a hobby?"

"It's good to pursue something you like, it will have a little positivity between all the negativity in your life maybe."

"Do you have a soulmate?" Mingi asked 

"Yes I do but I have not found him or her yet," She said

"Same, I fainted on my birthday, I wonder when's my soulmate's birthday," He asked

Maybe is mine? She said in her head

"Do you like the connection you have?" She asked

"Yeah I do, it keeps my motivation to dance going," He said

"Why dance?" She asked

"I love to dance, the adrenaline I have to keep my heart beating fast in my soulmate's name just feels right."

"My connection is heartbeat my soulmate's name in morse code, cool right? Is normal in our world but I never had someone in my life have it, I thought my connection would be from genetics but turns out it's random," He said

"What about you do you like your connection?" He asked

No, all it does is beat in his name yet it doesn't show like Minjeong's tattoo or Nayoung's cuts. Well, it's better than Nayoung's but still.

"Miyeon? Miyeon?" Mingi waves his hand at Miyeon's face

She snaps out of it "what were you thinking about?" He asked

"Do you want to hear your heartbeat?" She suddenly asked

"I can? The hospital didn't allow me to," He said

She nods "Am I a hospital?" She raised an eyebrow

She takes her stethoscope "Woah I always see doctors wear these and now I get to hear myself?" Mingi beamed

Miyeon laughs at Minho's childish demeanour 

"Wait here, I need to sanitise it," She stands up, cleaning her hands

Mingi looks at her from behind

"Why so quiet? I can hear the student's footsteps from outside," Miyeon said

"You ask me something then," He said

She takes the alcohol swab, sanitising the stethoscope "Hmm, why come to me and not the other student nurses?"

-

Nayoung is laying down on her bed. She has about 2 hours left before her class starts.

Miyeon has her student/school program while Minjeong is probably in the café to see Minhyung. She decides to go take a shower and goes to the convenience store before going to class.

She looks around to look for food she should eat that would make her stand at least until lunch hour. She walks around and stops at the Onigiri section where she sees a familiar figure. 

"Yunho? You work here too? First, it was the library then the supermarket and now at a convenience store?".

"I need to earn the money," He said, still concentrated

"Don't you think you're overworking yourself?" Nayoung asked

 "No," He continues to fill in the empty space for the onigiri

"Is you working the reason why you're not attending class?" She asked

He stops and looks at her "Yes like what I said it helps me to distract myself both mentally and physically."

"You're 18 still a teen, you shouldn't be overworking yourself like this," She said

"Well some of us need to live that way, I'm sure you don't relate," He angrily walks to the cash register 

She balled her fist, follows him

"Yes I might've lived a more privileged life but I'm in college too, you don't know how stressed I am with my exams, to learn so many things and how my friends were given a chance to go for a program and I don't when I worked just as hard as them," She said

"I might not be in the same exact shoe but I do have my own problems too and at least I don't avoid my problems by overworking myself," She said

She closes her eyes, breathing in and out "Look I'll leave you alone but talk to your lecturer, tell him that your group members aren't cooperating, If you want to work at least get a job where you don't overwork yourself and have sufficient time to do your own things and do school work?"

"You say you want to continue studying, dancing and yet I see you earning money for something that you don't bother doing anymore, is basically a waste of your money," She walks away, not having an appetite anymore
