[DOTS Y/n x Shi Jin] Always Beside You

Chapter 33

Y/n's pov

'I heard your boyfriend got shot like six times? What does he even do to get that?' You ignore Kim Eunji as you remove your scrub from the OP, making your way toward the desk to ask for Captain Yoo's bed location and attending physician. 

'Is he like a gang member in the dark side?' She asks, following you behind. 

'Can I know where patient Yoo Shi Jin is?' You ignore Kim Eunji, asking the young nurse at the front desk. 

'He's in the VIP ward. He asked you to be his attending physician.' The nurse replies in a high-toned voice, and you thank her before entering the ER duty room to get your laptop, in case Captain Yoo gets bored during his time here. 

'They're saying he went off on a helicopter once too.' Kim Eunji says persistently before you abruptly stop in your tracks and turn to face her. Reaching for her staff card, you take it off of her despite her yelling at you, tossing it into the bin.

'You don't have to come to work from tomorrow.' You reply, leaving her staring at you with an open mouth and walking into the elevator toward the VIP wards. You knew Han Seok Won would not fire her, since Haesung was trying to buy more medicine from her uncle's pharmaceutical company, but that was the least of your problems. 

Getting out of the elevator, you find soldiers guarding the room, your brother conveniently making a loud scene at them not letting him enter.

'It's my hospital and I'm saying I want to enter the room in my hospital.' Han Seok Won yells at Lieutenant Park, the other soldiers only keeping a straight face as they face forward. 

'This is a military matter now. Only his attending physician can enter.' The soldier says, Han Seok Won sighing deeply in anger.

'I said I don't care, Lieutenant Park.' He shouts again, aiming a savage kick at the soldier in front of him. 

'What are you doing in front of a patient's room who needs to rest.' You say as you pull him backward, his irritated expression deepening into a frown seeing you. 'Leave.' You say again, his face instead turning unreadable watching you push him back. 

'Not so invincible as you thought, right?' He whispers into your ear, his breath sending chills down your back. You turn to face him, Han Seok Won's expression twisting into a knowing smile, only to whistle at you once before turning back. You watch him leave, something about his words unsettling although you desperately want to pass it off as him trying to annoy you back after getting at him multiple times. 

'Dr. Han.' The soldier calls, opening the door for you. 

Entering the room, you see Captain Yoo still asleep from anesthetics you check his vitals once before sitting beside his bed. He looks peaceful apart from the blood transfusion pack along with other IVs hanging on the pole next to his bed. You sigh in relief watching his stomach move up and down steadily, the events of today finally weighing down on you. 

Suddenly remembering the USB from the North Korean patient, you glance at the door to make sure nobody else is coming in and open up your laptop on your lap. Reaching into your white coat's pocket, you take the USB, slowly plugging it into the port on your laptop. A new folder appears on the front screen of your family picture from back in the US, and you click on the folder, shifting in your seat to hide the screen away from the door. 

'...' You sigh seeing the folder locked, and you glance at Captain Yoo still sleeping before you move your fingers hesitantly over the keyboard.
