Being that you and Chuuya are both highly regarded medical professionals at Yokohama's Cherry Blossom General Hospital, your relationship with Chuuya was no secret within the hospital. It was something everyone seemed to know about, whether through subtle glances exchanged in the halls or the occasional teasing remark from a colleague. Despite the open knowledge, it never once interfered with your professionalism or the quality of your work. Both of you remained dedicated to your respective duties, ensuring that your connection never crossed the professional boundaries expected in such a high-stakes environment. Instead, it became a quiet strength, a partnership built on mutual respect and understanding in and out of the hospital walls.

"Hey," Chuuya greeted you as usual when you were studying and sprucing your thoughts with MRI scans of a prior patient.

"Just checking in." He says, closing the door behind him.
