"I'm not going to hire you," Seonghwa bites out.
He would find someone else to care for him— Not this man with the shiny lips and the glowing skin.
Not this Hongjoong who is so gentle with his patients, yet reminds Seonghwa of what he'll never have.
Hongjoong furrows his brows.
"Why? I answered your question."
"Because I can't be dependent on some quirky idiot no matter what your medical degree says," Seonghwa retorts, already rolling away.
"Good luck with your job search."
Behind him, a chair scrapes across the floor and Seonghwa just knows that he isn't going to be free from this guy anytime soon.
