(Seungmin POV*)
_________________________________________
I walked out of my patients room with a empty food tray in my hand. A couple of female nurses headed past me, gossiping about one of the head doctors no doubt.
I walked up to the main counter
of the floor I was on. "Hey Lisa, do you know where doctor kann left those peracetic viles, cause once again he wrote the wrong file number?" I asked, rolling my eyes as I leaned over the counter.
"Huh, oh no I wasn't with him this week, I've been on desk dutie this whole week." She said. "Sorry."
"Eh that's ok, guess I'll just have to get chewed out for something that wasn't my fault.... again." I groaned, thanking her before I turned back around down the hall.
"Oh, yes we have a free room." I heard Lisa say from behind me. "Seungmin!" She shouted.
"Huh, yes?" I turned around.
"They've got a man who needs stitches and a full recovery room coming up in a couple minutes can you open up room 476 for them." She informed me, staring down at her computer.
"Yes of course." I nodded, grabbing the key rings from her desk and heading to room 475.
I opened the room, inspecting it to make sure the cleaning staff had come through, the bathroom was spotless and the bed was tightly made, so thankfully I didn't see any need for a re-cleaning.
"Room 475" I heard a familiar voice direct someone. Emily, a kind female nurse on my floor, walked in with a young man in a wheelchair, he had sharp features and dark brown hair, and most importantly his left arm was split open, from the wrist down to his elbow. He was squinting in pain, looking more angry than hurt.
I pulled out my disinfectant kit then my stitching kit, letting Emily roll the young man around to me. "Do you want to get on the bed, Mr Lee?" Emily asked him.
"No" he snapped. "I just want to get out of here, just stich up the stupid cut and discharge me."
"I'm sorry sir but you'll probably be here for the night." I explained to him as I laid my peroxide soaked wipe over the ends of his wound.
"What!?" He snapped again. "No, that's not what's going to happen."
"Sorry sir." I shook my head, reaching for my needle of regional anesthesia. "You're pretty tough, I think you'll be ok." I joked. I mean it seemed pretty true, I'd probably be crying if I had an injury this bad.
"Felix is gonna kill me.." he mumbled, rolling his eyes.
Felix?
"Is that a family member?" I asked, pressing in the needle.
"Not yet....he's my boyfriend- wait, why the hell are you asking so many questions?" He asked, raising his brow at me suspiciously.
"Oh- I'm sorry, you just seem a bit familiar to me, then you said "Felix" my boyfriend has a friend named Felix, that's all." I said.
"Kim seungmin?" He said coldly turning his head to look me up and down.
"Hm?"
"You're the guy jeongin is sleeping with?" He asked plainly. I paused, suddenly remembering where I had heard his voice before.
"Oh you're.... Minho?" I asked. He nodded, shrugging his shoulder.
"I'm going to go get another nurse." I said coldly, heading for the door.
"What? Why, I wasn't done talking to you, you were right in the middle of stitching me up." He complained.
"No that's ok, I don't think I can do my job professionally with such a disrespectful patient." I said as I opened the door and walked out.
"Excuse me, what the fuck are you even talking about?"
"Your treatment of jeongin." I said, turning back around. "His view of himself is completely degrading, do you think calling him a slut helps that?" I snapped.
"I never called him a slut-"
"Yes but you clearly believe it, or at least you want him to believe it." I argued. "do you know he allowed someone to sexually assault him because he didn't have the self value to stop it?" I asked angrily.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, the irritation in his expression slightly wavering, an almost concerned look seeping through.
"Just a bunch of stuff you weren't around for." I scolded. "How can you claim to be someone's friend when you don't even know what's going on in his life?" I asked bitterly.
Minho fitgited in his chair, turning away from me as if embarrassed. "Just keep stitching me up, would you." He mumbled.
"Wow, you really have no shame do you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I acted like a prick! Is that better?" He asked. "I love jeongin more than you could in a hundred years, maybe if you knew him half as much I do you could understand why I acted that way." He snapped.
"What the hell is that even supposed to mean!?"
"Jeongin wouldn't know a good relationship if it proposed to him, it's not my fault I wanted to protect him." He said.
"You don't even know me.." I quietly scoffed.
"Yeah... maybe you're right, but i knew every other guy jeongin was with, did he ever tell you about hyunjin? Or maybe..... Kazme, I bet he never told you about him?" He asked teasingly.
"I don't care about Jeongin's history, I love him right now." I said sterling. Minho scoffed shacking his head.
"Well you should cuz i promise you jeongin doesn't love you, he's still in love with Kazme, I mean really it's just too obvious, in fact you look just like him, same eyes, same brunette hair, you almost talk like him-
"Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about." I cut him off, reopening the door and walking out.
I'm too tired to deal with this right now, I have plenty of hours left and I'm not trying to spend it listening to someone who hurts Jeongin..
I went down the hall and got another nurse, taking my lunch break as I tried to forget what minho said. He's probably lying, he just doesn't want to admit he's a shit friend..
After a couple hours I couldn't help my curiosity any longer. Kezme? If anything it sounds made up, doesn't even sound Korean...
How could jeongin still be in love with someone else..... he's never acted like it....he always gives me his full attention...
He loves me..
I walked back down to the room , surprised as I heard a string of dramatic crys coming from behind the door.
Minho?
I slowly turned into the room, instantly noticing a small blonde crying dramatically alongside Minho's bed, minho patted the boy's back, quietly shushing him.
"Calm down Lixie, it's really not that bad, they got me all fixed up already, I promise I don't feel any pain." He assured him.
"Oh Mr Kim." The nurse working in the room noticed me, causing minho to turn his head in my direction, giving me an emotionless expression, before turning back to who I now am quite sure, is Felix.
"Yes, sorry Im back, may I have a moment with the patients?" I asked, she nodded and grabbed her clip board, leaving the room.
Felix finally slowed his cries, only letting out soft sniffles as he noticed me as well.
"Minho...can I talk to you?" I asked.
"What is it?"
"I- I just wanted to say that....I'd like you to apologize to jeongin soon, I don't care why you acted that way but....he deserves an apology.."
