“I brought you Kimchi Jjigae (Spicy Kimchi Stew) and Tong Dak (Korean BBQ Chicken Wing) for lunch Doc. There's a little tempeh fry, eggs in it are also in it.” He stood smiling widely and behaving like a blinding sun in front of me that morning and brought me a full lunch box.
He came back after a few days of cloudy weather, why did I find this a relief.
Yuna's cooking is always good, she has excellent cooking skills. Hye-ri also loves to cook, making Hye-ri cook like a recreation, she always smiles with pride and happiness when I praise her cooking. And now I feel like I'm thrown again.
“Thanks...”
“You’re welcome.” Yuna disappears quickly to finish her own work. I let out a breath. Yuna made me feel like I had a friend, I felt like I had something to remember, I felt like I could stand on my feet again in my life.
I have to admit that. It was here that made me feel like my life was easier to live.
I saw my schedule that he sent again yesterday, today's office day, but there was a sudden request from Sean's doctor for a patient's surgical removal pa**breast cancer is usually) for immediate reconstruction (meaning the linking of the cancerous tissue directly with the reconstruction of plastic surgery to improve the appearance) of other surgical parts.
I met Ms. Melisa, her hand was still wrapped, just moments ago someone stabbed her for reporting a case, even though the final decision was not in her hands. That beautiful woman looks happy now, I think because there's a Dr. Vincent was worried about him.
“Liat yourself today, with your flowers again He liked the floral ornaments on his shirt.
“Dr. Joshua, do you have any flowers for me.” She smiled to see me greeting her on my way to Doctor Sean's room.
“You don't need me to bring you flowers. There's been another..” She laughs.
“How the Miss is up, you've brought her flowers.” Replace me who laughs.
“Well, that’s complicated.”
“Maybe not as complicated as you imagine the doctor. Sometimes flows can do many thing that man can't do.” Good advice if the sun is suddenly cloudy again I guess.
“I know your point.” I smiled at him.
“Good it looks like you've learned a lot. Where's your chatty assistant.”
“She has a job, I'm going to see Sean's doctor see his patients. I'm down first, ..” I waved at him and continued my steps to Doctor Sean's section.
“Hi doc, you're finally here. Looks like you won't have any trouble with this patient.” I ran into Doctor Sean
“Why is that?”
“Hmm, he's Korean.”.
“Ohh really?”
“Mrs Park Joo-mi. How are you, I will introduce you to the best doctor we have who will handle his reconstruction, dr. Joshua Woo.” Park Joo-mi, may not be the one person who has that name in Korea, but it is possible. I see someone sitting on his treatment bed right now.
“Joo-mi..”.
“Joshua..” Turns out she really is the Joo-mi I know.My high school friend, and well.
“You know?” Someone's a man with her. I guess it was her husband.
“Ohh he was a former high school classmate, Joshua Woo, this is my husband Yu-seok.”
“Dr. Joshua, now I'm getting a friend's help from my hometown. Please help us.” He made a bow and stretched out his hand which made me bow.
“This is my job, I always try to do my best. Likewise with Joo-mi.” I never thought I'd see Joo-mi again today. Since graduating from High School we have never been in contact with each other again. The memories that had been for a long time suddenly made a flash in my head. He looks a little thin, maybe stressed because of his illness.
“I'm relieved, it looks like my luck is not bad this time.”
“You'll be fine, baby. Optimistic, though,... “ I read patient data quickly, stage two. They took the decision of the masectomy plus chemo to avoid the risk, because there is a history in his mother's family.
“Do not worry, everything will be fine. You're in the hands of the best doctor here.”.I explained the surgical procedure that Joomi was going to undergo to her and her husband.
“You stay in Jakarta.” While her husband goes to Sean's doctor's office to administer the surgery, I talk to Joo-mi.
“Yes he attaches diplomatic here, we sometimes change countries, but stay around Southeast Asia.”
“I really didn't expect to see you here Joo-mi. You'll be fine, it's just stage two.” I raised his hopes.
“I hope so too, just relax I'm not desperate. I was in shock at first, but the doctor raised my expectations, and my husband was also very supportive, so I now have confidence everything will be good.” He stopped before continuing. “I heard that you lost your family, I'm sorry, it must have been hard for you, until you had to. You been here a long time?”
“Hmm.. but you look good now.”
“I'm trying to be okay.”
“You are young, there is a chance to have a family again. Don't despair. Sometimes happiness comes in different forms in our lives. Destiny is not something we can blame, even if it is hard to understand, you must let go, and you will get relief for the new happiness.” He smiled at me. “Sorry, maybe I talk too much.”.
“You did talk too much from old Grandma.” She laughs. That's his nickname at school, he's smart, he's beautiful, he's a class champion, and somehow he can advise everyone. I fell in love with her because seeing her was like seeing a new ascetic coming down the mountain.
“How do you feel now here? Better?” He patted my arm sympathetically.
“Much better I guess.”
“Good, I'm so happy for you.” Now that I feel, he developed his advisory abilities much better.
“Ahh Doc, I just want to say patient consult you in 20 minutes.” Yuna followed me upstairs.
“Heii you can talk Korean.” Joo-mi is instantly attracted to Yuna.
“This is doctor Yuna my assistant, she will help your operation also later.”.
“Good afternoon Madam, I'm Yuna, I've added your number, I'll text you shortly. You can schedule consultations and after surgery check up to me. Any questions I can later help.”Yuna introduced herself and her duties.
“Ohh you are very fluent. Joshua felt better...I'm his old friend, now I know why he said much better.” I caught the hue on Yuna's face, sometimes she was very easy to read when she blushed.
“Joo-mi,..”
“Ohh sorry I misspoke-kah.” Joo-mi just smiled broadly at me.
“Alright, we meet tomorrow morning Joo-mi. Be excited.”
“You too. Doctor Yuna thank you.” I went back to my room ready for a new patient consultation.
“Your friend Doc? You know?”
“Hmm... my first girlfriend?”
“Ohhh...” I saw his reaction.
“High school friend?”
“Iya” I'm intrigued to make a question for Yuna. “First time courtship what age?” He's lookingat me.
“I. Ummm.. Junior high school grade 8.”
“Really, class 8..”
“Hmm... last how many months?” How long is the 8 grade boy's courtship.
“Making through 30 days.”
“Ohhh 30 days.”.It can still be called the moon. He mentioned the number of days! “Because you mentioned the day. How many are your ex?” The next question is because I'm curious.
“Hmm..I forgot, I have to count slowly. I'm very popular, which queues a lot. Maybe I'll forget a few, mostly just the germs.” I looked at the young girl next to me with a look of disbelief.
“Why did you ask Doc? I think the number is much higher than your haul, it is definitely past 10 people, you really want to know.” He raised his eyebrows at me.
“It seems you are very experienced?” Suddenly I felt that the girl beside me was not as simple as it seemed. Is he very good at this game?
“Well, you're not hurt?” He looked at me and I kept quiet because I couldn't return his words.
“No..”
“You sure?” Now that I was secretly goosebumps, Yuna grimaced happily looking at my expression. And right up in the open elevator he just walked ahead of me.
Has he taken into account his every move and action? Am I the one who's fallen into the game now? And why am I so curious now?
She's not as naive as I thought...
