When Daniel dates a Noona

Daniel's First Encounter with Noona

I was about to leave the patient when suddenly he called for me.
W-wait,' he called out and when I turned my head, he hesitated.
'Yes, Mr. Daniel?' I asked.
'W-what- erm, what if I need anything?' He asked, scratching his head.
'You can go to that counter over there and look for me,' I explained, pointing the counter and smiled kindly before making my way to help the doctor with a patient who is currently groaning in pain due to an open fracture of the leg.

Daniel POV

'This won't do. You can't continue practicing. Look at your wrist! It's swelling!' Manager hyung scolded as he held up my hand.
'I'll send you to the hospital,' he said again without waiting for my answer.
I glanced at the boys hard at practice and felt a tinge of guilt for not being able to practice with them due to my injury. I could be graded F again at this rate, I sighed as I lazily drag my heavy foot following manager hyung towards the car.

I'm no stranger to the Emergency room. Being a b-boy, injuries are bound to happen. Apparently, after rigorous practice, my old injury is back. I had sprained my thumb. The pain is throbbing but nothing I could not handle. I covered myself with my hoodie and black mask once arriving at the ER. The downside of being on TV is the fact that people recognize me anytime anywhere. Manager hyung tried his best to escort me safely into the ER without any hitch. Amazingly it's safer here in the hospital. I made it to ER without much trouble.

After registration, I was then escorted to one of the many beds. Feeling stuffy with all the covering up, I took off my hoodie from my head and remove the mask. Just as I was about to lean to get a good rest while waiting for the doctor, suddenly I saw a few nurses starting to crowd my space.

Shit. Judging from the uniforms, they must be some kind of students. I tried my best to smile at them, giving them a wave.

'Isn't that Kang Daniel?' One of them whispered, maybe a bit too loud for me to hear.
'He's so handsome,' they squealed among themselves, making me feel embarrassed as I tried to put back my hoodie over my head. Luckily, a doctor came through, saving me from this embarrassment and introduced himself to me and explaining what he will do with my injuries. Just then, one of the students approached, volunteering to help the doctor. By the looks of it, even when wearing a mask, I can see the doctor was reluctant to let her.

'Yah, Hye Jung, what are doing? You could get us in trouble,' one of them said to the student who was already perched on the doctor's side.
'It's not every day that you get to see a celebrity up close,' the one named Hye Jung smirked, glancing at me with those fan girl eyes. I knew better than to keep my mouth shut and focused on watching the doctor examining my injury.

'What's going on?' I heard a female voice from outside the curtain. Immediately all the students looked scared and hung their heads low.
I heard the curtain being slid aside and as I looked up, there stood a nurse in her soft pink scrubs. Compared to the students, she seemed small. Her hair is up in a neat bun, light brown in color. She had fair milky skin. She had this very serious expression plastered on her face as she glared at the students with her blunt eyes. She had her arms folded over her chest. For some reason, in my eyes, she looks stunning and cute, despite all the seriousness.

'Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?' She asked, shooting her glare at the student beside the doctor as she made her way closer to us. I couldn't help but smile at her. She's so pretty when up close.
'I'm sorry Mr-' she paused and peeked at the chart on the table.
'I'm sorry Mr. Daniel but please for a while, pretend to be deaf because there is someone I need to scold,' she said again, glaring at the student who is already scared.
I nodded slightly, feeling amused at the same time.
'You, get out. And wait for me with your friends over the counter. You're not allowed to go home until I talk to you,' she said to the student. Her expressions mean business. How can a small woman like this be scary and yet so cute, I thought as I stare at her unknowingly.
'Y-yes, m-ma'am,' the student managed to answer in a shaky voice and scampered away from us.

I watched as the resident looked up at her and I can tell he is smiling at her, probably relieved as he signaled for her for help.
Immediately she picked up the white gloves from the box on the table and took over. The doctor left us and closed the curtain slightly.
The nurse sat on the stool that was previously used by the doctor. I can't help but stare at her. She didn't have put makeup on except for the faint lip balm she had on her lips. And yet, she looked so beautiful.

"Did you fall?" she asked, this time her voice is calm and soft. She had her eyes focused on the bandaging done earlier by the doctor.
"K-kind of. During dance practice," I replied, feeling slightly embarrassed that I was caught in the act of staring at her. I must have looked like a crazy dude by now. Shit.
'Oh, so you're a dancer?' she asked nonchalantly, her hands doing the work systematically. I could sit here all day watching her, I thought to myself.
'Not really,' I chuckled and winced when her finger touched the swelling area.
'Not really?' she asked back, glancing back at me, looking slightly confused.
I smiled, amused. She doesn't know who I am. This is getting interesting. She seemed unfazed by my charming smile.
'You don't watch TV, do you?' I asked, wanting to extend the time she has with me.
'Well, I do. Except that after 5 minutes, the TV ended up watching me, so-' she shrugged, finishing the dressing neatly. I could see the corner of her lips twitched into a small smile. Beautiful.
I laughed, loving this interaction.
'What's so funny?' she asked, looking confused again. Now that I think about it, her eyes will go really big when she's confused.
I brushed it off, shaking my head slightly from side to side.
'Okay, you're done. Just wait for the discharging process and I think, maybe in an hour time, you'll be able to go home,' she said, as she got up from the seat, discarding the gloves and washing her hands over the sink near the bed.
Already? I feel somewhat disappointed when she was about to leave that I -

W-wait,' I called out and when she turned her head, I hesitated, frantically trying to find any excuse to make her stay longer.
'Yes, Mr. Daniel?' she asked, flashing me a smile that makes my heart skipped a beat.
'W-what- erm, what if I need anything?' I stuttered. Damn, Daniel. real smooth. Yup. real smooth, I cursed myself quietly
'You can go to that counter over there and look for me,' she explained, pointing the counter and smiled kindly before making her way out space, leaving me wanting more.

Fuck. I think I've fallen for her.
