Hello everyone!!! Here’s Em with her little nugget Hyun (28, an intern doctor). I’d loooove to plot and have some connections so under the read more I’ll give you some fast and basic info about my babe who can be a real dick when he wants to so you’re more than welcome to hate him bc sometimes I do. English is not my first language so I apologize in advance and I promise to make the best I can to be a really good roleplay partner ♡

Also, I’m GMT-3 if that’s any indicator of why I might take some time to answer. Send me a message or like this post and tomorrow I’ll be in your inbox

“indeed,” amusement was unavoidable at the man’s misinterpretation of juhwan’s answer. it would only be courteous to avoid embarrassment and assume the mistake himself. after all, the doctor was likely exhausted. the hours were daunting enough without the additional complication of a power outage. with uncharacteristic sympathy for the other, he quickly clarified. “i should have been more explicit. we are currently prioritizing the firehouse, the police department, and the hospital. the plan is to ensure that those services are up and running as soon as possible before turning to the second stage.”

truth me told, he remembered less of the man and more of his family. their stature and success naturally drew many to their doorstep. he was among those who had the good fortune of meeting the mins, seeing their vision first hand. their aspirations for the future and ensuring they were fulfilled would have been his priority. their son currently stood before him, requesting his place of work be given utmost importance. they too wished for a similar thing from his past avatar. had life played out differently, rather than their son, the political advisor would have been attending to their needs. “suggesting that you aren’t anymore?”

“we did need doctors. especially those who are so well credentialed.” praise lacking any basis. he did not know of this man’s accomplishments. it was possible he was a complete quack with little skill or talent. however, of one thing, juhwan could be certain. doctor min’s pedigree was likely stellar. why? those who hailed from money never failed to acquire prestige. the man indicated his colleague’s unhappiness with the office. a solemn nod of understanding was appropriate in the moment. yet tainted with annoyance, it was hidden by a turn of his head when a woman began shouting. “trust me doctor min when i say that even in less trying times,”

eyes cast back, expression schooled into a neutral and pleasant smile once more. “our office frequently receives more complaints than compliments. it’s part and parcel of the job.”

The answer was one that should be enough, it was what he expected anyways, for him to admit that they were prioritizing the hospital’s services, yet he didn’t feel quite reassured as he should be. Scrunching his nose, he decided to ask “And what exactly are you doing?” He knew it wasn’t his fault, but he needed to come back with answers and the people at the hospital wouldn’t be happy if he just repeated what Juhwan had said.

“Truth be told I haven’t changed much” He chuckled, since he believed he was still the same, just a little bit older. But in spirit? He was still the kid who dreamed of being a surfer, to be his own person, to forget about his family’s wishes and do what he wanted to do. “I’m just a little older” He added “You still working as an advisor I see” But Hyun would expect him to be in Seoul, not in an island in the middle of nowhere.

“Yeah I don’t know about my credentials” He was a good student, a good doctor, but his soul was not in it and that made him a bad doctor, in his opinion. “You must be sick of all the complaints, though, no one expected the blackout to last as much as it has. Any ideas of when the power will be restored?” Probably a question that wouldn’t get a straight answer.

He pinched his nose bridge lightly. Jun could feel his eyes becoming all droppy, turning duller than the usual sparkle. It was true that it was more comfortable with someone by the side and in fact it sounded quite tempting, but that still didn’t justified them doing so at the hospital. Even if it was supposed to be simple sleep, it was still somewhat intimate and therefore inappropriate. Getting involved with colleagues was never a good idea. The risk to cause chaos in a work environment after a break up was too high.

The older doctor shoke his head. It became more and more evident that the other was flirting with him, but Jun was in disbelief. To him, there was no good reason for the other doctor to do so. He wasn’t special. “I see…” Jun replied to the other’s confirmation about the flirting attempts. A mixture of confusion and warmth arose in him. He felt flattered to be the object of someone’s attraction, but at the same time he was troubled. Troubled at the fact that Dr. Min could find someone much better than him and troubled of his own work principles. If he was honest to himself, Min Hyun was exactly his type. “Well, then… I guess I should thank you for the invitation?” He said in a confused voice, standing completely still in his spot next to the bed.

The younger man was absolutely right. Someone could have already seen Jun walking into Dr. Min’s room. “That’s my bad. I should have checked properly.” Would the taller male be offended if Jun kept rejecting his offer? He wasn’t very experienced with these kind of situations, having been in only two relationships so far (which was kind of obvious with the amount of times he blushed at every little comment). Plus his work ethics kept him from caving in that easily. Though he couldn’t deny that he really wanted to squeeze in next to the other. Or how he wanted to experience a kiss from the other. “… Fine. But only because I just want to sleep. And keep your hands to yourself!” Slipping under the blanket just before, he turned his face away from the other man and tried to keep as much distance as possible. Although the body warmth Dr. Min emitted made it really hard to stray away.

Hyun didn’t think there was anything inappropriate in what he was asking. It was dark, he was tired, and he was damn cold despite having a blanket on, so yeah, in his mind, having Jun in his arms was a terrific idea. Would he ask anyone else to do the same? No. He knew it quite well, he was definitely using this as an excuse to have him closer, but the other doctor seemed more hesitant and he could understand why. But rules were meant to be broken, right?

He had admitted to be flirting and the answer wasn’t one he was expecting, maybe he was reading the whole situation wrong and doctor Seomun wasn’t interested in him. He could deal with that, he had no troubles on admitting it. “If the flirting bothers you I can totally stop, you don’t have to accept the invitation if you don’t want to” He assured him. but damn, he would like to hear that the other felt the same way too, it would be awesome.

“My hands won’t touch you, although that ruins the whole spooning experience” He told the other, making enough room for him in the bed so he would know he would keep his word. He smiled when the other took his place, his eyes easily closing, he was too sleepy to fight it anyways. “So you don’t want to be the small spoon?” He asked one last time, just to be sure.

gswmyunghwa:

confidence was rarely misplaced. or so she’d claim. many others would insist ( as many had tried ) that what she possessed was not self-confidence. it was hubris. characterize as they may, life had given her no reason to question her abilities. had it taken away potential, stunted her growth before it had fully burgeoned? certainly. but she hadn’t been lying when she told hyun she was unaccustomed to losing. once her mind was set on something, victory was inevitable if only because she was persistent enough. the doctor however was a good sport and that she could appreciate. instructions and location had been sent with glee that morning. there was little battery left in her phone, her portable chargers slowly running out of power as well. she could only hope the blackout did not last much longer for the lifestyle blogger was unsure of much longer she could go without connectivity.

“doctor hyun,” emphasizing his profession, pausing her tinkering with the lens of her camera she looked up at him. “here i won a bet and yet i’m trying to help you by bringing you out of the dark ages. if that isn’t evidence enough of my generosity, no number of drinks will convince you.” not to suggest she wouldn’t buy him whatever beverage of choice for being her entertainment for the afternoon. but it wouldn’t be myunghwa if she didn’t contest a few times before finally agreeing. unlike doctor hyun who appeared to grumble only on the surface while still following instructions.

“i can make no such promises for i am a philanthropist. i cannot hide my artwork from the world.” a few more shots taken, she appreciated her own handiwork, unaffected by his orders to not show the pictures. not that she had anyone to show them to anyways seeing as she would have no reason to feature him on her own page. “you know, you’re being so selfish,” disapproval colored her features before elaborating on how refusing to share pictures made a man uncharitable. “there’s probably someone out there who’s been trying to stalking you on instagram. by having no pictures, you’re making it impossible for them to look at your profile and cook up all sorts of fantasies. how inconsiderate of you!”

“I do own a phone and I do know how to text my friends, I don’t think that can be considered the dark ages” He knew she meant social media, but it wasn’t like he didn’t know how to use them, he just chose not to have them. “I doubt I can measure your generosity by the amount of pictures you’re taking of me, plus, I’m the one being generous, after all, we are doing your thing and not mine, I’m the one doing you a favor” He had lost a bet, yes, but he could have ignored it, yet here he was, posing to her camera without complaints.

“A Philanthropist, how did I not know that before?” He laughed, entertained by the way she thought of herself. It was funny, how different they thought about each other, the concept Myunghwa had of herself was quite different to what he thought of her. “Now I’m part of an art piece? Or are you calling me art? I’ve always known I’m handsome but no one had ever called me a piece of art” And that was him joking, but his words held some truth.

“Selfish?” He imitated her tone “I don’t think I have stalkers, not that I know of, the closer to a stalker it would be you” He joked again “After all, we are kind of strangers and you’re taking pictures of me” He continued “And you call me inconsiderate when I’m practically doing you a favor”

Ataru took a quick, and relatively fast breath before nodding. The sentiment was trying to indicate bracing herself for a social situation wasn’t all entirely expected when she got here. The dramatics found there way to the back of her head though, now finding his words logical. The smile he’d dropped on her felt like another attempt to come across as friendly and she took this chance to hand him one back, although it might’ve been lacking the same enthusiasm. The purpose was there though.

“Ah.. well no- meaning I’d rather you delegated it.. is that the word?” The woman inquired, not knowing if she was using the word correctly. She assume that meant something long the lines of hand to, or to give? Her eyes narrowed a bit, pondering her own words until he pressed on with his invitation to join him to the counter. Taru supposed medicine shouldn’t be delt out in the middle of a lobby.

Ataru began digging into her bag for her wallet. It was a very dingy, old brown leather pouch that her mother tried to throw away. Taru didn’t agree it was ready to be thrown away. Small, nibble and slender fingers flipped through the clutters of old paper, three time folded recipes and old gift cards until she’d reached the slot that carried both her identification cards, one from her home country and another for her ‘life’ here. Ataru slid out the one in question and held it out, her gaze already watching the woman bring out the refills she’s been needing ever since she’d arrive in orchard. “ah… here.”

The journalist, due to her aimless gaze, stared into the nurses face for science. Clearly, a very small part of her was wondering if the woman would ask for her debit card next.

The woman smiled, or attempted to it, which was good because Hyun assumed he had scared her by insisting so much, but he only wanted to help her, so he hoped she felt better about the whole situation and didn’t think he was a weirdo who just rambled in the middle of the hospital, giving away free medication to whoever asked for it. “That could be a good word, yes, come here and I’ll delegate it with no troubles”

She gave the nurse the ID and Hyun watched how she put the information on the computer, quickly enough to soon have the bag with the medicine in front of them on the counter “Here you go, free medicine just like I said” He offered her the bad, a smile on his face, proud of himself and how he had dealt with the situation.

“Next month we can do the same. It’s easier if you ask your doctor but not all doctors do this, it’s more work and they usually just want to send their patients away. You should remember my name Doctor Min Hyun, just ask for me and I’ll gladly help you out again, Miss Ataru Hinode” He said as he gave her back the ID.

A bet was a bet, no matter how ridiculous it was. People were dying (literally, a woman had died!) yet here he was, wearing ridiculous clothes and trying different poses for Myungwha’s camera just because he had lost the bet during the festival of lights. Somehow, he had become this submissive man that ended up doing whatever she asked, like a little puppet or worse, a puppy who followed her everywhere and took action only when she said and to whatever she said only.

He wasn’t sure how long this would last, harmless pictures he had heard her said, but then again, she was the expert in these things, pictures being her second (or first?) nature. “You better buy me a drink after this, is the least you could do, you know?” He told her, unsure if there were bars opened with this blackout. She didn’t seem to worry, her camera and the ‘lightning’ being apparently perfect for what she needed.

“And you better not show those pictures to anyone without my consent” He added, unsure of what the purpose of this was. Maybe she would try to convince him to get himself a social media account, he wasn’t sure. Still, having some nice pictures taken wasn’t all that bad, hence why he wasn’t complaining that bad. Posing was easy, he just needed to do whatever she said and it apparently seemed okay because despite her being bossy, she wasn’t scolding him as much as he imagined...yet.

“Pink room?” Might as well. Yiming had gone there enough times to start getting some smiles when he call out his expressionless greeting. He even got on the old lady owner’s good side by sharing with her the gossip he’d overheard from the coffee shops during breakfast time.

What?

The widow wanted entertainment, and Yiming excelled at information gathering. Besides, it was all harmless gossip anyway about who slept with who and which kid was deemed the brightest in class at the local high school.

Yiming threw down his jacket when they’d arrived. The woman he spoke to last time turned out to be the manager of this establishment and agreed to being his friend. The benefit of that was he always got the nice comfy chairs. “What do you want to get?” He slid over the menu.

“I’ve heard a lot of the place but never been there” He had been in the island for a little more than a month now and there were still places to meet. Everyone seemed to have the Pink Room in high esteem but Hyun himself hadn’t had the chance to be there. He was excited to go now and see what all the fuss was about.

Once they got here he couldn’t help but notice that his new friend Yiming seemed to be known, getting access to one of the most comfortable parts of the place. It seemed nice, it has a good vibe, everyone seemed to be having a good time and that spoke louder than words when it came to a place. Hyun absolutely approved Yiming’s pick.

“I’m starving” He confessed because he had terrible eating habits and usually forgot to eat when he was at the hospital, only to forgot to eat when he was at home. If it wasn’t for Yongsoo, his roommate, he would die of starvation. “I’ll get a burger and fries, you can’t go wrong with that”

gswjuhwan:

a doctor. wonderful. with him would come unfortunate news, a new round of crises that could not be swept under the rug with pleasantries. with him also came potential outrage. sooner or later, decisions would have to be made if the power was not repaired. people would not stand to see community members suffering at best ( dying at worst ) due to the incompetence of the mayor’s office. a darker part of him saw the benefits of such public outcry at mismanagement. a story to be told of how the mayor was failing to protect his constituents. but for all his ambitions, cruel he was not. many of those in the hospital were akin to family. and even if motivated by pure self-interest, his grandfather’s health constantly teetered on a dangerous cliff. his cousin’s near-miss with death could not have been averted without the hospital.

relief came when the news that the generator was not yet out of power was delivered. it was a temporary respite however and the issue was well received. “we are prioritizing emergency services at the moment. unfortunately i’ve received no information from the mayor’s office on when we expect the power to return. but i assure you i’m working diligently to discover the source of the outage and remedy it.” a slight change of pronoun, underscoring that it was juhwan handling things ( exaggerating that he was working singlehandedly ). the moon family made but a statement and the mayor was nowhere to be found. perhaps they too were working to allay the situation. but until they countered his narrative, it’d persist.

between guarantees, the doctor reminded juhwan of where he recognized him from. years ago, under much different circumstances from the current predicament they found themselves in. their last encounter had been under the pretense of business, promises masked in pleasantries, exchanged along with plates of the highest quality food. “min hyun,” he identified quickly, recall needing only the slightest trigger. “last we met you were still in medical school. or maybe you just started your residency. and now you’re all the way out here, practicing medicine in gwasuwon?” the slight raise in inflection revealed surprise to see the son of the min family in such a remote area.

“I believe we are an emergency service?” Hyun asked because if it wasn’t the hospital the top priority then what was it? It made no sense in his mind but he also didn’t understand politics, it was a weird game of power that had never been understood by the young doctor, also, a game that never interested him. But now he was somehow representing the hospital and they needed more than just a back up power source. They needed full capacity. Surgeries were being reschedule but they couldn’t do that forever, just like the mayor’s office couldn’t expect them to work like this for a longer time.

“Last time we met I was a little rascal” Still fighting against his own family and his own wishes, still deciding if medicine was his call or not. It wasn’t, but he followed his family’s footsteps, he had to. In his world, there was not another chance, his family being too important, their saying having more value than a young man’s dream. It was a shame, a real sad outcome, but Hyun was dealing with it much better now.

“You gave me the idea of coming to Gwasuwon, as soon as I finished my residency I applied and they needed doctors. Doctors that are not happy with you and your office if I must say” He told him, attempting to smile. It was nice to see him, to recognize a face in the island, but their circumstances could have been better.

gswxjun:

Jun wasn’t too sure what this mess was supposed to mean. Normally every break room was supposed to be a single’s room, in order to prevent from inappropriate situations to happen. Of course there were possibilities of other doctors or cleaning staff running into an occupied room unknowingly, but this was the first time it ever happened to Jun. If it would have been someone else instead of Dr. Min, the older man would have been out of the door in a split second. Instead he dwelled in the other’s presence, strangely feeling all fuzzy and comfortable being in the same room with the taller doctor, despite his exhaustion. “What are you even saying?” He shoke his head, rubbing his eyes, as he tried to suppressed his laughter.

Jun let out a sigh. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave the door open like this. You should have heard all the stories of patients sneaking around and stealing stuff. What if someone steals you away?” He still managed to joke, even though he was dead beat. His tiredness however disappeared, when he heard the younger male’s suggestion to sleep together. “Spooning?” He parroted, blood immediately rushing into his head. “Dr. Min I am wondering for a while now. Are you…” Jun probably shouldn’t ask such an inappropriate question in a professional environment, but he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Are you perhaps flirting with me?”

The worst was that the spot next to Dr. Min indeed looked very welcoming. Especially when it’s gotten so cold without proper heating. But how could they dare to engage in such an inappropriate situationship at the work place? “Regardless of your answer, I should leave and look for another break room. What would others think if they saw us coming out of the room together?”

Jun was laughing. That was all Hyun could notice as he tried to fully wake up from the nap he had been taking. He half sat on the bed, resting his body on his arm, tilting his head as he looked at him “I’m saying I’m sleepy, you’re sleepy, and it’s always more comfortable to sleep with someone, I was a little cold anyways” He explained, thinking he made tons of sense but apparently the older doctor did not understand what he was saying.

“Steal me? Or still from me? Two different things, if it’s the first one I’d expect you to be the one robbing me” He chuckled, hoping to see the adorable blush on his cheeks again, which he did see when he mentioned that they should spoon together. His question didn’t surprise him but it did make him laugh, a lot. “If you have to ask then I’m not doing a good job. Yes, Jun, I’m flirting with you” He simply said, being direct one of his greatest qualities. How could the other not notice that he was flirting? “I don’t invite anyone to my bed, even when I’m just asking to spoon” He clarified because it could be misinterpreted.

“You can always leave first and I leave later so no one notices we are together in here, and well, you’re already inside, if someone is paying attention they already noticed you’re in the same room as I am” He told him, patting the spot next to him again “Come on, I’m cold. I promise to behave. I won’t kiss you unless you ask me to, that’s a promise” Now that was an obvious act of flirting, right?

&&. Nocturne

The power outage was one of the biggest nightmare scenario Jun had experienced in his medical career so far. Of course, the hospital had its back up generators that provided the facility with energy, but it was barely enough to keep emergency services running. Regular schedules were basically kept at a bare minimum and if possible postponed for indefinite time. It was heartbreaking to have to sent away patients, just because they had no capacities left. They had no idea for how long they had to endure and sit tight during this state of emergency (and if the back-up power generators would run out of battery until then), but Jun felt just as stressed and anxious as every of his colleagues. It was almost like a fine line about to snap. The health system was at it’s most fragile state.

And honestly, Jun wasn’t in best shape either - he was tired, but mentally and physically. Dragging himself through shifts and trying hard to help wherever he could, regardless of his area of discretion or not. He simply wanted to be of use.

So when he was shooed away by nurses to rest in the break room during a nightshift, he reluctantly left to get some sleep. To save some energy break rooms were just sparely illuminated, just enough to walk around the room without hitting a foot against the corner of the bed. He didn’t really minded, as long as there was a bed to take a nap in, so he carelessly stumbled inside without checking the occupation status properly. Putting down the pencils and the pager, he slipped under the blanket, just to found it warmed up by a body next to him. Jun quickly jumped onto his feet, heart racing, when he realized the room was already occupied. “Oh, sorry. I didn’t noticed there was somebody here already.” The emergency surgeon blinked into the darkness, just to make out the handsome features of Dr. Min looking back. “Dr. Min! Why didn’t you locked the door?”

Starter for @minhyun-gsw !

Hyun was exhausted. Working with no power, or well, with backup power was a real mess. People with no power kept having accidents and the hospital was very busy, meaning the doctors were having a hard time and he was sent to rest by the nurses, an indication he didn’t say no to. After all, a tired doctor could make wrong decisions and he didn’t want to risk that, especially now. So he took advantage of the slow movement (thanks to God) and he went to the break room, crashing the second his head hit the pillow.

He was dreaming when he felt a warm body next to his and it felt nice, he reached trying to bring the body closer but it was gone, and instead he heard the voice of Dr. Seomun who was apparently next to his bed now. “It was warm until you left” He said moving so he could see him properly. He was still sleepy so he wasn’t thinking straight. “Didn’t want to leave anyone outside in case they wanted to sleep as well” He explained, moving to leave more space in his bed. “Come on, we can sleep together, you’re the perfect size for spooning” He told the other male, a small chuckle on his lips.

Jun seemed more surprised to see him there than he would expect, after all they worked together and saw each other through the halls a lot. “Come” He patted the space next to him, his brain still looking for the sleep that was interrupted. “I want to sleep and it seems like you need it too”

gswxjun:

“Sure. It’s a deal then.” He agreed with a soft smile. Jun didn’t really saw a problem with that, even though he was reluctant to let the other pay, since he was the older after all. But then again, colleagues should treat each other well. And eating meals together, when both of them were alone, would surely ease that sense of loneliness.

When the taller man confirmed their ride on the bike, Jun was torn between being excited since it would be his first motorbike ride and being a little shaky since it was still his first ride after all. He reached out for the helmet and carefully pulled it over his head before looking at the other a little sheepishly. “Are you making fun of me just because I am short?” The older man asked, trying to cover up the embarrassed tone in his voice. “Just you wait!” He lifted his fist and made a scolding gesture. Was it strange that he lowkey liked being called adorable by the other? Even as a grown ass man, he perceived it as compliment instead of an insult.

His heart immediately began to beat faster, when Dr. Min sat down on the bike. They were about to ‘take off’ and excitement automatically kicked in (and had absolutely nothing to do with him getting to feel up his colleague’s waist and shoulders). “Alright then, please excuse me.” He politely said, before wrapping his arms around the other man’s waist. “I am really excited to see your special spot soon!”

Hyun was glad the other didn’t put any troubles on him paying the next time, he was also glad to have a next time, even when he had said it so casually, it was nice to know the other was open to the possibility of seeing him off work again. Hyun wasn’t sure of what was happening between them but he was allowing himself to enjoy it no matter what. It was hard to find nice company and friends when you were the new one on the island, and Jun made him feel like home.

“You’re not short, you’re perfect pocket size” He told him with a chuckle, thinking that again, he was being too adorable for his own good. Did he do it on purpose? Or Jun was the type of person to go through life being adorable to whoever was around him? It was an interesting question and hopefully by the end of the night he would have his answer.

“You’re too polite for a bike ride” He told him, another smile. His muscles must be hurting for all the smiling he was doing but the older doctor was just giving him enough reasons to smile that day. He drove in silence (the other option was shouting and no one wanted that) and soon enough they found themselves at the beach. There were tons of do not pass signs, put by the police, Hyun assumed, but he wasn’t scared about any monster so he ignored them all and stopped his bike the closest to the shore that he could. “Here we are” He said as he took off his helmet “Nothing fancy or elegant, just the simple and plain beach. I know we are not supposed to be here but can you tell me one place more calming than this one?”

gswyongsoo:

Hell?

Yongsoo would like to think he’d go to heaven upon death. After all, he had done nothing but-

The woman’s fearful eyes…her extended hand. Help me, she pleaded. Help us!

His breath quickened from the memory, but he managed to push it down and recover in time to feel a thermometer in his mouth. “I prefer my steaks medium rare, thank you.” Yongsoo mumbled grumpily around the thermometer. He just felt so hungry all the time and it would have become a real problem if people hadn’t been dropping by with care packages. In that way, he was lucky and very grateful for all of his friends and family.

Fishing the thermometer out of his mouth once enough time had passed, Yongsoo reported the results back to the doctor. His temperature was fine despite his pale and trembling body. Whatever disease he got, it didn’t operate like the typical ones. “Do you have any connections to the people working at the labs?” He asked. “At this point I am suspicious that…maybe someone developed a new virus and for whatever reasons chose me as a live experiment.” It sounded crazy, but he couldn’t think of more logical explanations of this illness. “Farfetched, I know.”

Hyun could joke about his cooking skills but truth be told he was worried about Yongsoo, medically speaking, he did not look good at all. In his opinion, he should have stayed at the hospital but there wasn’t anyone more stubborn than Yongsoo and staying there had been impossible. Being at home was no different, the man was still as stubborn as he could be but Hyun was trying his best to accommodate and give him everything he needed.

That’s why he was at the kitchen, preparing him a steak the best he could, decided to order something from outside if it didn’t work out. “I don’t think medium or rare will be the issue, I really can’t cook for my life!” He yelled at him, reading the recipe on his phone as he did his best to have it done quickly.

“The labs?” He asked curiously, moving to where Yongsoo was waiting for his meal. “I do know a lot of people” He said as he listened to his suspicions. “Okay, okay, fair enough, that’s a good theory, a crazy one but it’s definitely something we can do. I can take your samples back to the lab and see what they say. The ones we took at the hospital were all normal but you don’t feel normal anymore” Had he felt normal at all since the attack? He wasn’t sure, but it wasn’t a crazy idea. “I’ll make sure to feed you first though, we can discuss alien theories later”

with @minhyun-gsw

something was happening.

any person with eyes could tell as much. telephone lines were barely receiving signal and those that were did not last too long. electricity was down. if he didn’t know better ( and he wasn’t certain he did ), he’d say the island was trying to cut them off from the rest of the world. isolate them so there was no way to reach out for help. yet that would be absurd. as much as he believed in the deities and the stories shared by the elders on the island, to imagine it attacking its residents was preposterous. yet people getting attacked, dead birds lining the streets, were far from blessings. no, something was off and juhwan could not even begin to understand what.

attention remained divided, for once his workplace overrun with residents asking when their electricity would be back, when would the roads be cleaned, when could they speak with their relatives. though adaptable, people did not welcome living without the amenities they’d grown accustomed to. phone calls were brief ( they had to be ) and he was grateful on such days he’d learned to control his emotions so early. after all, constituent services required it but during times of uncertainty, patience was key. holding a finger up when he observed someone approaching his desk from the corner of his eye, he completed the phone call he was on. updates were slow to come because the reasons for the current state of their island were still, to be determined.

“right,” gaze finally met the somewhat familiar man’s, hands pressed together. juhwan was certain he did not know him from the island. yet amid the chaos around him, his otherwise quick recall dulled. “how can i help you?” aside from the obvious, he wished to add. but he held his tongue, suspecting that the issue would be similar to the many others he had heard that day. and he’d end up reciting the same rehearsed apology, providing the same assurances that resolving these issues were their top priority. the goal, as always, was to assuage fears through empty promises. he had no answers and the person that might was nowhere to be found. but such truths were concealed from the public.

It was his day off and he shouldn’t be here, they had people already reaching out to figure out what was happening, but the hospital was not a simple place, they needed the power and someone needed answers, hence why he had volunteered himself to come and ask to put the hospital in a priority list. After all, they needed the electricity more than a random house, a club, or whatever place someone could think of. Yes, he thought they were more important hence why he wouldn’t leave without a proper answer, one that satisfied him.

When the man in charge asked how could he be of help he started the speech he had been preparing while he waited “I’m Doctor Min Hyun, I work at the hospital and we won’t be able to keep working at 40% for too long, we need assistance from the mayor’s office or somewhere, whatever office it is that is in charge of this emergency” He took a deep breath before continuing, finally taking a good look at the man. “Juhwan?” Recognition on his tone. There was no way he was wrong, he was sure the man in front of him had been the one having dinner with his parents some time ago.

“Of course I’d find you here! You were the one who let me know about the island in the first place, do you remember me? You were having dinner with my parents, they were interested in your boss’ campaign or something, I did not pay attention until you mention this island” He explained, unsure if the other would remember him. He might now know it but he had changed his life during that dinner.

Suspicion and a sprinkle of fear merged together inside Minjun, feeling cornered alike a street cat by the assail of questions; and more importantly — to him alone — was the enthusiasm that the other man carries with himself. Others would cower, hearts wavering in front of the… misfortune that had struck them, eyes looking away as if it would defend them from facing the inevitable truth that it did happen, here on this exact beach, just a few hundred meters away from where they stood; now all of it a memory that seemed have no intent of fading away, if ever. Minjun’s breath hitched, another moment of hesitation given alongside it, followed by a narrow of eyes towards him —- his eyes, turned dark, lingering on him, for what seemed like a moment too long.

“Are you an officer?" He questioned, abruptly and openly, borderline accusatory even, unfriendliness at the tip of his tongue, even with the knowledge of it being a step he shouldn’t of have done. To him, there was no other plausible explanation; or there was, lingering at the back of his mind, that the man before him was nothing more dangerous than a fanatic, one keen for the taste of the fictional (im)possibilities. Surely, the latter couldn’t be possible; not within the bounds of real world, as blurred as they came to be.

He raised his hand, then the other, uncovering the handmade shell bracelet around his wrist. "I was buying this when… whatever that was happened, so I wouldn’t know. I ran away, think I pulled someone with me or something like that. Everyone was scared, really — I didn’t look back towards the beach. And no, I don’t have a receipt — I ran, like everyone else, but I’m sure I could find the woman who sold me it or — or the guy who … brought it to my doorstep, when I thought I wasted money. They — they’d know."

There was a drop of doubt in the last parts; though this felt as a confessional nonetheless. Once it passed it lips, leaving into the air between them, Minjun’s face became less grim.

"You can swim, I think. I also think you’d rahter freeze in this weather, than get attacked by a monstrous face-hugging-murderous giant … squid.”

The question made sense and Hyun could not say he was surprised by it. after all, Hyun was making a lot of questions to a stranger and he couldn’t blame it for thinking that way. It did make him chuckle, as he quickly denied with his hands “No, no, a simple civilian with lots of questions and you happen to be the first one I ran into” Maybe the other had troubles with the police and that’s why he was so defensive, after all he felt like he was being accused of being a cop and cops, in his opinion, were the nicest guys of all. Maybe he had good experiences while this other guy had bad ones, there was no way to know.

He looked at the bracelet as he listened to the story, finally someone telling him something useful! “Oh I wouldn’t ask you for witnesses, I believe you, sounds like all the stories I heard at the hospital, I’m a doctor but I wasn’t here when it happened. I’m very curious, you know, can’t help to want to know the truth when everyone tells a crazy story” He continued “I’m not calling you crazy, but the entire thing is... well, a lot to digest” He finished with a sigh.

“Not if you wear a suit, I like surfing and I was told the waves here were amazing, but since this whole squid happened I haven’t been able to do anything, I’m feeling a little frustrated but that’s nothing compared to what some people went through” He said in a more humble tone. Surfing was nothing compared with staying alive. “I’m Hyun, by the way, Doctor Min Hyun”

Truthfully, Jisu isn’t a fan of doctor check ups or going to hospitals and clinics because the only times he visited these sort of places were when he passed out from overworking from schedules or when he needed IV drips from being malnourish from his diets. Perhaps these are the things that he do not misses about being an idol - it’s been two weeks, and he’s been eating more instant noodles than he did the last five years.

Going back to the subject, the raven haired response, “That’s me-” he smiles, though unsure if it comes off weirdly or from nervousness. “Well, I’m not sure if I’m sick- but I woke up with bruises and scratches all over me?” he confesses his conditions, holding his arms out and then sticking one leg out after the other to showing the scratches on both his arms and the newly formed bruises that paints his legs.

“It’s funny, but do you think I’m anemic? like I’m lacking white blood cells, or something?” he mutters whatever science and random diagnose he could think of. “Even when I used to dance as hard, I have never really gotten this bruised before- hm, am I gonna die?” he asks dramatically. Perhaps Jisu has contracted some sort of serious illness and maybe his body wasn’t used to the change of air; from the main city to an island - albeit the air is fresher and the food is tastier, but what if that was his body lying to him. “Do you think I need to get tested-”

He smiled at his new patient, realizing the man was a little nervous which meant Hyun had to be very clear and calmed so the other would feel the same way too. It was something he had learned, the calmer the doctor the calmer the patient would get and it was one of the most important things, the patient’s disposition towards their doctor.

“You woke up like this? Do you remember what you did the previous night?” He asked, his first theory being a drunk accident that led him to have these wounds. But he didn’t look like he had been drunk and the bruises and scratches were odd. Odd, like most things in this island. “They are certainly all new, do you really think they showed up out of nowhere? What’s your theory?” He tilted his head, unsure of what to say. He needed testing and it seemed like his patient knew it.

“Anemia could be a reasonable explanation for the bruises, but the scratches? We will definitely need some tests. If you don’t mind needless I’ll take a sample myself, the hospital is a little busy” He said looking for the necessary things to take a blood test “Do you have any other symptoms? Headaches, muscular pain?” He said as he prepared the needle “Ready?”

daejung did have to raise a brow. “so, are you the sort to get into trouble often?” clearly not the sort of trouble that got the police involved as daejung was pretty sure he had never seen hyun at the station before. but still, it would be useful to know who the troublemakers on the island where. you know, just in case. “you could have always ordered in more pizza,” he offered with a shrug of his shoulder, “but yes, i see your point.” staying at home and eating old food certainly weren’t great plans for an evening. it reminded daejung too much of the years he did nothing but lock himself in the house and eat nothing but takeout.

“keeping an eye on people is my job, might i remind you,” he was perfectly capable of getting some food himself if he so wished. and honestly, he would feel a little guilty about accepting free food from someone he had only just met. maybe he would have accepted if they were a little more than first time acquaintances. but for right now, he could deal with his own food plans.

when hyun brought up grey’s anatomy, daejung once again raised an eyebrow. “so, can i assume you are… a doctor of some kind then?” it made the most sense if a medical show was something he was getting annoyed about. it was not something normal people were likely to find irritating. “up isn’t even that sad. it’s a bit sad at the beginning, but there aren’t any dead dogs in that movie.” only dead wives, but that wasn’t the same thing. “now you’re an adult, maybe you should watch what you like.”

Hyun had to decide to lie or not to lie “Often? Maybe a little less than often. The thing is i don’t filter what I say much and that gets me into troubles” Honesty, honesty was the best way to go with a stranger who was a police officer. He didn’t want to say anything that could make the other think he was troubles. “I’ve always dreamed of a life where i can eat as much pizza as I want but let’s be honest, that’s not healthy at all and I want to keep my figure” He chuckled, entertained.

“Yeah but who keeps an eye on you? You might need help too, whether you want to admit it or not” He assured the police officer since everyone deserved to be taken care of and apparently tonight it was Hyun’s task to watch over the other man. Yes, no one asked him to and yes, it seemed like he didn’t want anything to do with him but here they were, too late to change Hyun’s mind.

“A doctor, yes, been on the island for a couple weeks now, the hospital is my second home and trust me, it’s nothing like Grey’s Anatomy” Maybe some parts were right but the part where everyone sleeps with everyone? He hadn’t seen anything like that since he arrived. “It’s still sad, and sad movies are off the list” He shrugged “I don’t want to watch those movies, those are kids’ movies”
