he remembers the first time he saw her as if it were just yesterday. at first, hyunwoo didn’t even plan on falling for allie, the idea of ever catching feelings for someone not really being even on his mind. he preferred simple hookups, things that only lasted a couple hours at most before parting ways and being done as if nothing ever happened, though he eventually found himself helping her out in ways that even she didn’t know about.

one of the reasons he had told himself that he wouldn’t even bother with such things as a relationship was due to the fact that he had his future to think about, wanting to make his debut and pursue his one true love which was music. it had been his dream ever since he was younger, realizing this when he had participated with a few friends in a talent show and the realization hit him that he actually had a talent when it came to not only singing but dancing as well.

now it was different. now he was standing on the roof as he waited for allie after having left her a note asking to meet with him. as the time went by though, hyunwoo was beginning to wonder if he should have just avoided all of this, if he should have thought this all through before actually coming to a conclusion so quickly on his own feelings. it was all so new to him, the feeling of having butterflies every time he saw her, the feeling of wanting to actually protect her from any sort of harm whether it was physical or even emotional.

he’s snapped out of his own thoughts when he hears footsteps approaching, however, he doesn’t turn around immediately. he waits until he’s managed to sort out his own thoughts and words before he finally turns to face her slowly, shoving his hands into his jacket pockets. how was it possible for someone to be as beautiful as she was? it’s true that he had messed around with quite a few females before but she was definitely different than the rest, especially in the way where she actually was able to make him want to actually settle down for once.

     He sits in his office at his desk, going through paperwork. He had to get rid of, not kill just fired, his assistant a couple weeks ago due to the female coming close to figuring out that he wasn’t exactly human. Alex couldn’t risk it, he couldn’t take the chance on anyone finding out because there was no telling what would happen or how they would react to the whole situation. He had experienced it all once before and that wasn’t a path he wanted to go back down again, this was the easier way around things.

     The familiar voice of one of his employees comes over the intercom telling him that the newly hired assistant was on their way up to his office. Once he responds he goes back to the documents in front of him, occasionally glancing over at the clock on his desk as he waits for his newly hired employee to show up.

     Alex had to admit, he had a few better candidates than the one he had hired, especially one who would have been perfect for the job. Though despite how smart that one person was, he couldn’t have risked hiring the male because of just that. He was too smart for his own good and there was no telling how quick he would have found out that Alex was a vampire, so in the end he chose someone who was still somewhat fit for the job but seemed like they would be more dense. At least that’s what he had planned.

     There’s a knock on his door yet he doesn’t look up even once. “Come in.” He says this as he continues to focus on his work, even when the door opens and he hears the person come in his focus stays on the documents in front of him. Alex only looks up once he’s finished signing the last page and freezes in place, eyes squinting slightly as he looks at the male. “What are you doing here?”

     It was supposed to be his night to just relax at home, to take a break from dealing with anything medical related, though once his phone rang and he saw that familiar name ‘Yonghwa’ on his screen he knew that his plans for any relaxation was out the window at that moment. Maybe at that time when the male had come waltzing in and helped him he should have just had one of the gang members kill him, then he wouldn’t be having to act as some personal doctor for the male. Hell, he technically wasn’t even fully a doctor at the moment, thankfully he knew enough to actually get by when it came to these types of calls he ended up getting.

     Now, here he was, getting the supplies ready that would be needed to help stitch his ‘patient’ up who, from what he was told, was suffering from a stab wound. Alex wondered what exactly was going on at this point, constantly being called over to doctor up others who seemed to be getting attacked. When he had decided on becoming a doctor, helping out gang members was not what he signed up for, and whether or not this person was in a gang wasn’t really something he cared to know about. He had learned that it’s better to just not question anything when it came to these types of situations.

     As soon as he had arrived with the needed supplies, Alex instantly is able to tell who the patient is this time (it was hard not to tell really) and he doesn’t waste any time making his way over to the other male. He had to admit, the other was actually kind of cute in a way, though the slightly more professional side of him knows that he needs to focus on treating the other first before he lets his own thoughts wander.

     Alex sets his bag down on a nearby surface, opening the bag and removing its contents as he speaks. “That’s a nasty wound you have there.” It isn’t until he’s finished setting up that he finally looks over at the male once again, putting on a pair of medical gloves before grabbing a needle and turning towards the other. “Remove your shirt. I’ll numb the area around the wound then we’ll get started on getting you stitched up.” His tone he uses isn’t really his usual flirtatious one that he would normally use back at the hospital when he’s trying to charm the patients. When it came to these moments where he was ‘summoned’ due to the favor he owed Yonghwa, Alex had no choice but to try and keep it as professional as possible, though that never really ended in a professional manner at times.
