"Y/n!"

Heavy breaths heaved behind you, accompanied by quick, thudding footsteps echoing on the tired floor and a familiar voice calling your name. At the call of your name, you pause walking and glance over your shoulder, expecting a co-worker to be behind you-- maybe another doctor, a nurse, or the intern you're currently supervising-- but instead, you meet a panting, red-faced man in a leather jacket and ripped jeans, bent over from chasing after you down the hall. In one hand, he holds a single fake rose with a small card tied to its stem, hanging by his side.  

You blink in confusion. "Excuse me, but who are you...?"

The man straightens up, showing himself to be none other than Son Hyunwoo, one of your patients who had been discharged a week ago. His bangs stick to his forehead with all the sweat dripping down it, cheeks puffed out from all the panting, and his eyebrows quirk up in sincerity.

"Oh, Hyunwoo!" you say, breaking out into a smile of familiarity. "You're here again?"

He'd been a patient in the hospital for two weeks after a minor car accident and you were responsible for him over the course of his stay. As you recalled, he'd recovered exceptionally well, ready to bounce back as a dancer despite having a whiplash and a few other injuries to his muscles. You warned him to be careful but he was more than glad to take off from his room...so why was he back in the hospital?

Hyunwoo doesn't say anything yet. His eyes stay on the floor, the single rose stays in his hand, and his lips stay pressed together. Though he isn't panting anymore, a light red still colours his face and the tips of his ears, as if he was blushing from embarrassment instead.

You frown. "Is there something wrong? Is the medicine not working?" And why did he chase you down?

At last, he opens his mouth, though the reply comes slow and tentative. "No," he answers. "I, uh, wanted to ask you something."

"Oh." A shrug. "Sure. What's wrong?"

He fiddles with the single rose between his fingers, eyes alternating between staring at you and glancing away, apparently unable to maintain eye contact with you. A number of people look at him as they pass by, curious at the fake rose in his hand, at a man in a leather jacket standing still in the middle of an otherwise busy corridor. Suddenly aware of your surroundings, you motion him to move towards the side of the corridor so that other people wouldn't bump into him anymore.

"Sorry about that," Hyunwoo says, stepping aside and ready to speak. "I, uh. I wanted to ask you something. Are you--" he clears his throat, stalls for a few seconds-- "are you free this Saturday?"

Saturday. You try to hide the frown that creeps across your face. Sure, you were free that day; the only weekend plan you had was to walk your dog on Sunday. So you nod. "Yes. Why?" 

And then Hyunwoo hands you the rose. "Would you like to go on a date with me?" 

Saturday noon brings you to a large, quaint restaurant tucked in a quiet neighborhood near downtown Seoul. A wealth of sunlight shone on the two-storey building. The whitewash of the picket fence, tables and chairs alternated with the rustic brick walls and the hanging metal pots, plants drooping out of their respective pots, vines curling this way and that, leaves swaying in the wind. In spite of the silent area, the restaurant was bustling with customers, clanking sounds and loud chatter leaking out from the wide open doors.

Noticing how well-dressed the other patrons were, you suddenly feel underdressed in your simple shirt and jeans, not expecting Hyunwoo to invite you to such a place. All he had told you was that he would treat you to lunch. Oh well.

Making your way towards the entrance, you peek inside, hoping to find your so-called date waiting for you already. There, near the farthest corner of the restaurant and sitting right beside a large, lovely window, Hyunwoo leaned back in one of the white chairs dressed in a blue button-up, his sleeves rolled up halfway to show his strong arms. His eyes were distant, staring at a random spot outside the window, his golden skin highlighted by the sunlight that fell through. In front of him were two tall glasses of what seems to be coffee-- hazelnut, maybe, with a large pile of whipped cream on top and a straw poking amidst it-- along with two plates of chocolate cake.

Your heart skips a beat. Right. His features had always struck you as handsome. That was something you realised in his first few days at the hospital as he would stare out of the windows, his constant brooding expression melancholic, his jawline sharp and the profile of his nose strong.

As you approach him, his eyes cast a glance over you and causes him to flinch in his seat. A nervous light glimmers in his eyes as he watches you approach him.

"Hello," you greet him with a smile.

He returns it back. "Hi."

"This is a pretty place," you remark, seating down opposite him. "How did you find this?"

He shrugs. "My sister brings me here for lunch sometimes. She loves the atmosphere."

"I can see why." You take another round observing the entire cafe. "It's really beautiful." 

"Like you," Hyunwoo blurts. A second later, he blinks in realisation and his mouth drops in embarrassment. "Ah, sorry. That wasn't intentional."

You stifle a laugh. "Thank you." 

"Here, have some cake." He pushes one of the plates towards you, which you gratefully receive. "I hope you like chocolate." 

"I love it." Smiling up at him, you cut yourself a piece of cake and pop it in your mouth. "It's delicious." 

"Help yourself." A pause in conversation. Chatter, laughter and clinks of forks against plates fills in the space between. Ten seconds of an awkward stare where Hyunwoo's dark, eyes bore into yours until you force yourself to look away from his invasive gaze. 

And then, he breaks the silence with, “I wanted to say thank you.” 

“Hmm?” 

“I wanted to say thank you for taking care of me well during my stay. I know it’s your job to do that, but you were very kind to me.” Hyunwoo averts his gaze, bashful. “And you were very beautiful. I couldn’t forget you after I left.” 

You blink, not sure where this was going or how it came about.

"I wanted to talk to you again," continues he, "and I visited the hospital several times, but you were always busy and I couldn't meet you at all. When I saw you the other day, I thought I wouldn't see you again. So I ran."

Oh. Warmth creeps across your cheeks.

Gesturing to the table, Hyunwoo says, "I thought it would be great if we could have lunch together, because I enjoyed our conversations a lot. I wanted to know you more.” 

You already know, from the conversations you've had during his stay, that he was a back-up dancer at a talent agency and taught dance lessons at a nearby studio. Of course, there's more to him than that that you haven't discovered.

Sending him a smile, you shrug and say, "Sure."

Through the hour-and-a-half lunch you've had, you learn that he shares a flat with six friends, has travelled around the world with them, and prefers to eat cake over seaweed soup for his birthday. That he almost became a swimmer. That he likes to sing, but doesn't want to go through trainee life. That he thinks you're beautiful and you should know it.

"Stop that," you tell him with an embarrassed smile.

In turn, you tell him about life outside the hospital. About your dog who was turning four this year. About the nearby park where you walk through often, because nature and fresh air clears your head. About your favourite weekend dramas and concerts you've been to.

"Do you know Yoo Kihyun?" Hyunwoo asks over his own cake.

"Yeah! I listen to him a lot. His voice is amazing."

He breaks into a shy grin. "He's one of my friends."

"Really!" Your mouth drops open in surprise, but neither of you particularly mind at the half-chewed cake inside. "How did you befriend him?"

Hyunwoo shrugs. "We met in high school," he starts, and continues from there.

When lunch ends and your plates are cleared, neither of you want to return home just yet. He takes you around the district, offers you a large hand to hold while both of you marvel at clothes, at skincare, at books and trinkets and animals in the local shelter. He smells of wood, you note every time you catch a whiff of him. Wood and spices and a distinct musky scent. He's solid, something you've observed from your days of looking after him, but he's more solid and stable than he appears to be. He's built to protect, it seems. Standing beside him on a busy street felt like being protected from the whizz of passing cars and the flurry of the crowd and the hot sun that threatens to burn everyone.

Your heart flutters.
