“isn't doctor takemi here today?”
“don't worry, m'am. i'll be taking over for today!”
takemi could hear faint voices when she woke up at her desk. the last thing she remembered was pulling an all-nighter, after an emergency. and it seemed like she had fallen asleep at her desk when getting to the paperwork for said emergency…
“how long was i asleep…?”
takemi rubbed her eyes, fishing her phone out of her pockets and almost dropped it when she saw how late it was. the clinic had opened four hours ago! yet she had been asleep all that time.
stumbling onto her feet, he tried to force herself to wake up quickly. she couldn't just sit around here! and as she rushed out of the office, she stumbled right into your arms…
“mrs. takemi, you're awake–!”
you smiled softly, as you gently held her close. takemi cleared her throat, a bit flustered about bumping into you like this. she was your boss after all, so she had to keep her dignity.
“i know what you're about to ask, but don't worry– i've been taking care of your patients for today! i know i'm just an assistant, but there weren't any cases that required your help today. besides, i figured you really needed some sleep…”
as much as she hated to admit it, you were right. takemi wouldn't have fallen asleep at her desk if she wasn't tired. but that didn't mean she'd use that as an excuse to repeat such unprofessional behavior again.
“oh, there's one more thing–!”
before takemi could react, you rushed into the small kitchen of the clinic, returning with a bento box and a coffee.
“i had some free time earlier today and made you this! the coffee is cold again, but i can heat it up again, while you eat breakfast!”
you smiled, as you handed the bento box over to takemi. she opened the lid, sneaking a peek inside, only to see the vegetables cut into little hearts. even she couldn't help but smile softly.
“i know i don't say this a lot, but i'm glad you're here”
takemi gave you a peck on the cheeks, before taking the coffee out of your hands.
“after i had breakfast, we'll need to talk about a salary raise for you… and maybe some other things too~!”

☆ She will definitely know, she is a doctor. She will see right through you. When you tried hiding it from her, there was basically no chance of succeeding.
☆ When she first saw it she didn’t know how to react, she was conflicted about it, yes, you were her friend, but she didn’t really know how to comfort you and tried approaching you in a doctor perspective, as to not make you feel bad about yourself.
☆ Yes, she saw a lot of things as a doctor, even self harm scars. She knew how they looked and what to do, if they are fresh. She will treat them, while handling them she didn’t really talk at first, she was thinking about how to approach this situation first, to not make you feel worse about yourself.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
When she noticed that she hadn’t see you in a while, she got worried and went straight to your apartment, she knew about your mental health struggles, but she didn’t know that it got worse again.
As she arrived, there were no lights on, but she had the feeling you were at home, so she just hoped for you to come out and open the door for her.
She rang the bell and as she heard on the other side that there were footsteps, she was relieved at first, but then she saw you, basically a shell of yourself.
When she saw the state you were in, she got really worried, the eye bags, the paleness of your face, everything looked so dull.
As you let her in you went to the couch to sit down as you begun to talk she interrupted you with: “y/n what happened to you?”, you knew you couldn’t hide it from her for long, you didn’t have anyone else to talk to, she was your only friend, so you tried opening up to her. Due to the fact she knew how to take care of illnesses, it was a lot easier for you to talk about your struggles.
“Tae, you know how I talked to you about my depression?”
“Yes, y/n what about it?”
You sighed but continued anyways, “…I begun to relapse on self harm again.”
You got worried, as she didn’t react at first, she was keeping her calmness, but deep down you knew that she was shocked.
As she collected her thoughts again she begun talking, “Ok, I understand, did you eat today and when was the last time you took a shower?”
“No I didn’t, I felt too drained and tired, I showered the last time last week.”
“Ok, go showering and I will be preparing you something small to eat, we will talk about this, after you have showered okay?” She gave you a reassuring smile.
As you were done showering she already was done with making something that she knew you would enjoy.
You were both eating in silence, you tried finishing your plate, to have something in your system again after not eating for a day.
Tae saw that you were done with your plate for now, so she got up and took the plates to wash them, she knew that you couldn’t do it for now, so she tried helping you as best as she can.
She broke the silence again, “…Y/n is it okay if I see the scars? I want to make sure they are healing the way they should be healing”, when she was done explaining she tried to give her the best smile that she could do. You both were heading to your bedroom, so you could relax, while she treated you.
You were at this point really exhausted, so you didn’t really replied to it verbally, you just hummed at her.
She tried making it fast, so you won’t be getting to upset about it. “Y/n do you want me to stay over?”, she anxiously asked you, after she was done bandaging the wounds.
You nodded, you were on the verge of tears, as she saw this, she pushed you into her embrace so you can cry it out. She felt that you were beginning to become quiet and sleepy, then she knew you fell asleep from exhaustion, she still hugged you, but already made plans what to do for now, she also had planned that she will clean up your place, so you don’t have to worry about that.
