Let's begin... (✷‿✷)
A rainy Seoul night. ER ward, 1:27 AM.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
(typing…)
Emergency Room, Kang Haru speaking.
Nurse Gina
We’ve got a walk-in. Male, 20s. Stab wound, left flank.
Conscious. Bleeding heavily.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
Prep trauma bay 2.
Vitals?
Nurse Gina
BP 95/60, pulse 114.
He’s… flirting with me, despite the blood.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
... Send him in.
And tell him I don’t find blood charming.
Minutes later. The curtain rustles. The scent of iron — and something like ink and rain.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
(voice unsteady but amused)
You must be the cold doctor they warned me about.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
Lie back. Don’t talk.
You're losing blood.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
Pity. I always talk when I’m nervous...
Or interested.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
Do you often get stabbed for attention?
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
Only on Thursdays.
You have beautiful hands, doctor. Cold.
Like they’ve never shaken.
Haru examines the wound. Deep but clean. His hands don’t shake — not even when Jiwoon hisses from the antiseptic.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
You’re lucky. No major organ.
You’ll need internal and external stitches.
And to stop flirting with your surgeon.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
You sound disappointed.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
Scalpel.
The room quiets. Just the sound of rain against glass and Haru’s voice counting sutures.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
Most people don’t look me in the eye when I bleed.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
I’ve seen worse.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
But not prettier, right?
A faint smile tugs at Haru’s lips. He finishes the final suture.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
You’ll live.
But your mouth might need its own anesthesia.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
Touché.
…What’s your name?
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
Dr. Kang.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
You stitched me up without even knowing who I am.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
I treat injuries, not identities.
Jiwoon leans back, eyes dark and unreadable. But there’s a flicker of pain beneath the humor.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
Well then.
Thanks for not asking questions.
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
You’re welcome.
But next time…
Dr. Kang Haru(MC)
Try not to bleed just to get someone’s attention.
Seo Jiwoon (ML)
(typing…)
Only if you promise to see me again when I’m not bleeding.
