Soobin had always been known for his calm demeanor and professional attitude. At 28, he was one of the youngest doctors in his hospital, known for his precise diagnostic skills and cool head in high-pressure situations. His life was organized, predictable, and peaceful—just the way he liked it. But that all changed the day he met his most challenging patient: Beomgyu.

Beomgyu was 21, and if there was one thing Soobin quickly realized about him, it was that he had an unrivaled talent for getting into trouble. The first time Beomgyu walked into Soobin’s clinic, he was complaining about a "mysterious pain" in his side. Soobin thought it would be a routine check-up, but he was wrong.

Beomgyu wasn’t like any other patient Soobin had encountered. He was a whirlwind of sass and rebellion. He’d show up late for appointments, then complain about having to wait. He’d flirt shamelessly with the nurses, and worse, with Soobin himself, leaving the doctor flustered. Beomgyu lived to push Soobin’s buttons, it seemed.

Today, however was different. As Soobin prepared for his morning rounds, he glanced at the patient list and felt a familiar knot in his stomach. Beomgyu was scheduled to come in for a follow-up after a minor procedure, and Soobin knew he was in for another chaotic encounter. He took a deep breath, reminding himself of his commitment to patient care. After all, he had a job to do.

After finishing a grueling surgery, he heard the familiar voice enchoing in the waiting room, Soobin sighed, rubbing his temples as he stepped into the waiting area.

There sat Beomgyu, lounging comfortably in a chair as if he owned the place, his feet propped up on the table as he flirted with the female staff. His casual attitude clashed with the sterile environment of the clinic.

“You’re late again, and I think you are already thinking of ways to ruin my day huh?

Soobin remarked, trying to maintain his professional tone, but it came out a bit softer than he intended.
