Kim Dohyun.

I’m rushed out to the ambulance bay. Lots of car crashes on the highway a few miles away.

“24-year-old male, possible spinal injury as well as broken bones in his leg. He was injured by glass shards due to a broken windshield and windows..”

The paramedic says as the person is lifted out of the ambulance on a gurney. He has a neck brace on, his face and most of his body are bloodied. His blood.

His clothes, his scrubs, are bloodied as well.

Those scrubs...he’s a doctor here…-

I take a look at his face. I can barely see who it is, but I can tell who it is.

Kae-byeok.

I rush over, immediately saying that I’d take care of him.

“K-Kim?”

His voice is weak. He’s hurt, quite badly.

“Yeah, yeah. It’s me, Jeon. It’s me.”

“W-What happened?”

“I don’t know. All I know is that you are hurt. How is Han, hm? Is he okay?”

Kae-byeok’s eyes close. He’s in pain, and also probably exhausted.”

“Enough questions...got it. Let me take you to a room, okay?”

“I’m gonna need surgery…”

Kae-byeok mumbles.

“Yes you will, at least for stitches...and I’m going to clean you up and prep you for surgery.”

“You gonna take care of me Kim?”

“Of course.”

Kae-byeok relaxes, sighing.

“Thank you.”

He mumbles as I wheel him into a private room. He’s on the verge of passing out.

“Hey, hey, c’mon Jeon, don’t pass out on me.”

“I won’t…”

Kae-byeok’s speech is kind of slurred, he’s definitely beyond exhausted. Of course, he would be, he’s injured pretty badly. I clean all the blood off him, some of the blood has dried, especially in his hair.

“Doctor Kim?”

I look back to see Doctor Lin. She’s one of my closer friends out of my co-workers.

“Who’s on the table?”

“Jeon…He needs surgery. The...the glass and the impact...h-his...one of his hands looks so cut up...he might not be able to work again…”

Taeyeong’s eyes widen.

“You’re scared.”

“Terrified.”

I correct, tears threatening to spill.

“He needs surgery. You...You’re a surgeon...h-help me.”

“You’re a surgeon too. I’ll assist, you get him into a damn operating room right this minute.”

“O-On it.”

“And wipe those tears away, Do. No crying while operating.”

Taeyeong clears the few tears that spill down my cheeks.

“You’re scared, yes. I know. I know you care for him so deeply. Just...Just don’t delve into your emotions now. He’s injured and you need to save him so go and get him into a theater now.”

-

I was nervous as shit but Kae-byeok was okay. His hand is quite messed up, due to the impact and the glass.

I hadn’t left his room. I was worried as hell. Taeyeong did update me on how Han was doing, and he was slightly less injured than Kae-byeok.

It takes some time for Kae-byeok to wake up.

“Do…”

His voice is weak, he takes a look at his hand, as well as the rest of him.

“What happened?”

“You got in a crash with Doctor Jang. You have a broken leg, lots of stitches, and quite a damaged hand. You’ll be okay.”

I reach to touch his good hand, finding comfort in how he squeezed it hard.

“How are you feeling?”

“Tired. And I’m in pain.”

“Not good...Aside from that...that’s the first time you called me Do.”

“It was…”

He mumbles in realization. He leans back and looks at his hand.

“What happened to my hand?”

“Glass shards injured your hand and damaged the nerves. Not severe damage, but still damage.”

Kae’s face drops.

“This...isn’t good. I’m a doctor...and I can’t use my hand.”

“It’ll take some time, but you’ll heal.”

Kae-byeok looks at me with wide eyes.

“You sure?”

“Absolutely.”

“W-Were you...crying?”

Kae-byeok mutters as he leans over, his good hand clearing my tears.

“I got scared. I saw you...and I didn’t know what to do…”

Kae-byeok looks at me, not saying a word.

“Do, you-...I thought you hated me.”

“Hate is a strong word.”

I reply, fiddling with my necklace.

“So you...don’t hate me…?”

“Correct.”

“Do you, uh, like me?”

“Like you...how?”

I question, tilting my head.

“Romantically?”

“You’re not thinking straight, you’re high off pain meds, Kae.”

“I’m not. I like you, Dohyun.”

He plays with my hair. My face burns red, and yes, I do like him. Jeon Kae-byeok is an adorable, brilliant man and he’s a hell of a doctor.

“Kim.”

“Hm?”

“Can I...um...kiss you?”

“Jeon, you need your rest. You’re probably high out ofyour maind due to the pain meds and you aren’t thinking straight, you need to rest.”

Do I want to kiss him? Yes. Yes I do.

Kae-byeok pouts.

“Is that a yes or a no, hyungie?”

“It’s a yes as long as you promise me you’ll rest, hm? Fair trade?”

“Hyungie’s mean.”

Kae says with a laugh, cuffing my arm.

“Jeon, I just want to be sure you are okay. You did get hurt horribly bad.”

Kae-Byeok nods.

“I’m tired but not tired.”

I ruffled his hair, placing a kiss to his forehead.

“Rest, Kae-byeok. Just rest.”

“B-But?”

I smile softly and ruffle his hair again, and I kiss him.

“I have to get back to work, but I will come back to check in on you. Just rest, please.”

“Fine, hyungie. I don’t wanna be alone though.”

“Taeyeong asked me to let her know when you were awake. I’ll let her know you’re awake and okay. Now you thank her, okay? She helped you as much as I did.”

Kae just nods.

“I will.”

“Now, Kae-byeok, please get some rest. Please.”

“Promise you’ll visit?”

“Of course. After my shift I will stop by with your favorite meal, okay? Does that cound good?”

“Sounds lovely.”

Kae smiles happily, and god he’s just so cute.

“I have to go now, okay? Taeyeong will be here soon. She just got off shift.”

“Wait, before you go-”

Kae-byeok grabs my hand with his good hand, pulling me to him to kiss me.

“Go save lives, hyungie. Love you.”

I ruffle his hair, saying

“Go heal up and rest, you need to. I’ll be back. Love you too.”
