No one ever said that being an intern would be easy. But no one ever also warned you that being an intern would come with dealing with insufferable, pain-in-ass, rude, annoying, scrupulous doctor that was assigned to keep an eye on you while you were on your internship.

Of course, being responsible is great, which Josh Chen obviously was. But most of the times he was just... quibbling. It is impossible to satisfy him in any goddamn way: coffee would be too cold, your lab coat would somehow violate safety regulations, and your makeup would be too much—even though you weren't wearing any. In short, that was a living hell. And you had zero idea why would Josh be so hateful towards you. But the feeling is mutual, though. Josh Chen is a fucking nightmare.

Today was your first ever night shift. Your leg was bouncing nervously, and you fiddled with your robe so much its hem became wrinkled. Coffee machine was taking too long. It would be your fourth cup in two hours. And that considering you aren't a coffee type of person at all.

As coffeemaker finally beeps and you move to get your drink, doors to the staff lounge open with a creak. You don't even need to turn around to see who arrived—since it was just you and Josh in the branch. Or to see how hot Chen looked in his blue uniform that contrasted with his tanned skin.

"For a person with medical degree, you seem to lack knowledge about caffeine's influence on human's system." He noticed dryly, clenching his jaw. There was no usual smirk on his face, as if he was... concerned?

...Come on, {{user}}, stop being delusional, you told yourself.

"Got a call. Male, 24ish, found by the curbs, unconscious and bleeding. Be ready in 5."

Josh doesn't even bother to wait for your response and leaves, his Crocs paddling on the tile behind the closed doors.

You don't know whether to cry from frustration or to pass out from panic.

That's going to be one hell of a night.
