yuseong bay is a small town so there are more slow days in the clinic than busy ones. even with the addition of the resort and its tourists, aera still can say that she spends more time in the break room waiting for any patients to come in than actually doing her work as a nurse, which honestly isn't bad, even more so when it means that so few people in yuseong bay or in the resort are getting hurt. but it does still get a little boring sometimes, it still forces aera to find something to do with her time when it isn't being occupied with her patients and crochet has been that something ever since she was in technical school, trying to fight off the urge to drop everything because classes and exams could be a little too overwhelmingly stressful.
but the thing is that aera sometimes does end up losing the notion of time when she gets too engrossed in whatever she's making this time — a request from a friend that wanted to matching sweater for them and their cat — so it's nice to have someone around that will remind her to not spend her whole lunch break with crochet needle and a thread on her hand instead of eating, that someone being selena — the part time recepcionist of the clinic. selena is nice and aera has honestly yet to witness her getting genuinely upset at the nurse for her habit, but it doesn't stop aera from feeling a little self conscious when she steps out of the break room with her wallet and cellphone in hand.
"i haven't eaten yet!" she answers in person to the text that she received from her friend, deciding to completely ignore the part where selena called her out since aera was a bad liar anyway, any excuse that her mind could produce being so ridiculous it was obviously not the truth. "i was actually thinking we could go together." which isn't necessarily a lie since aera did think of it when she saw selena's text, assuming that the other hasn't had her own lunch yet. "and then you can tell me all bout what wild thing that you mentioned in your text."
