I was in my room, looking through my notebook, practically having a headache from how many papers were scattered across my small bed

'I swear, I don't understand a thing'

I looked at my physic notes, scrunching my eyebrows as I read

Again, I went out of my room to get coffee, again, it had been 6? 7? cups of coffee?

I yawned as I held the hot cup of coffee, walking back to study

Why was I studying? Well, it was maybe because I dropped out of college and picked up multiple jobs to help my grandma with rent and her medical bills

Now, after Sir Joo pays me alot, I had some self confidence to try and go back to college while working as a physiotherapist

But, how could I tell Mr, Joo that I want to go back to college? Would he just turn me down or accept?

****

After many painful hours of studying and staying up all night, my alarm suddenly went of

I jolted up in shock, I stayed up for that long!? My eyes felt like they could close any freaking second now

I turned off my alarm and went to the bathroom, washing my face with cold water to wake me up

I got ready, changing into my work outfit, taking a deep breath before going out of my room

Today, it looks like Jaekyung went to the gym first.

****

I arrived at the gym, opening the door

"Doc Dan! Good morning~!"

Heesung greeted me as he tied up his hair

"M-morning.." I said in a tired voice, my eyes felt like closing any second

"You alright? You look very sleepy today"

Coach Nam-wook said in a worried tone

"Also, by the way, we have another physiotherapist coming in today"

Coach Nam-wook continues

'A new physiotherapist,huh? Well, I guess I have someone to help me!' I thought to myself as I walked to the training area

****

It had been one hour since my shift started, when, the new physiotherapist entered

"Hello!" He said brightly, looking energized

"Ah! You must be Lee Hyungjae, right?"

Coach Nam-wook said as he shook his hand

"Yeah, that's me!"

Hyungjae replied with a smile.

"I'm excited to be here and work with all of you."

I couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and apprehension. On one hand, having another physiotherapist would definitely lighten my workload. On the other hand, I couldn't help but feel a bit insecure about my own abilities. Would Hyungjae outshine me? Would I become irrelevant?

As the day went on, Hyungjae proved to be not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and approachable. He effortlessly connected with the clients, making them feel comfortable and at ease. It was clear that he had a natural talent for this line of work.

Meanwhile, I struggled to keep up with the demands of the job. My lack of formal education in the field made me doubt myself constantly. I felt like an imposter, pretending to know what I was doing.

****

Finally, my shift ended, and so did Hyungjae's. I felt so tired and could collapse any moment

I changed into my usual outfit, putting on my denim jeans and my white shirt with a grey jacket so I won't get cold

"Thank you! See you guys tomorrow!"

Hyungjae said as he smiles, I wish I could be just as extroverted as he could...

"Kim Dan, let's go home"

Jaekyung said calmly, the way Jaekyung talked to me made Hyungjae look a bit.. suspicious...

"Oh, you guys live together?"

Hyungjae asked, raising an eyebrow, Jaekyung muttered a small 'mhm'
