The Way of Love for the Doctor
SEASON 2'S. Part 22's. We Should Talk 1

“Yuna, ..” I examined his face the next day. When he happened to be in my office delivering patient data.“You're having a problem.” He's whining.

“No.” If he's upset with me, he won't see my face for long. Mostly he avoids eye contact even though he is normal with work problems.

“I have something wrong with you? I don't mind if you're frank, earlier we also talked frankly..” My question made him breath.

“I'm just too stupid I guess. I myself am blind.”

“What do you mean? Stupid why?”

“Not to be discussed again, I told you this is my own stupidity. I still have a job. I'm out first.” I held his hand. He quickly tried to take my hand off.

“Don't act like a child, talk if you have a problem with me.  Don't assume I can second-guess your heart. Why are you avoiding me these few days?”

“Isn't that what you want?” He started to answer me and defy my eyes now. It's better, so we speak frankly.

“That's what I want?”

"Didn't you deliberately want me to stay away, you deliberately showed off your two lovers in front of me, why don't you just tell me not to come near you again. You make me expect too much, don't you better talk frankly. Why did you let me expect you?” Right as I thought, he was wrong about yesterday.

“I didn't mean to, it was just spontaneous. Not intentionally to say something to you.”.

“Ohh so. So now what should I expect, you don't accept me either, but you sleep with another woman, showing off your first ex-lover, doesn't that mean it's obvious.” I kept quiet, because I didn't know how to answer either.

“I didn't mean,..”

“Stop Doc.” He took a deep breath looking to control himself. “I'm sorry, I'll be normal later, I need time, .. I told you my girlfriend is more than you. If I tried to smile back then, it was just me not wanting to look stupid.”

“You misunderstood..” He cut me off right away.

“No. I didn't misunderstand. I don’t need sugar coating words**. Sorry, you never made a commitment to me. I told you I was stupid. It's just my way of adapting to reality. After this I will be mediocre, and not so I do not intend to join your personal life again. Again I must apologize.” He tried to be seen trying not to cry in front of me.

“I go out first.” And he just left my room.

**I don’t need sugar coating words= I don't need you to pretend to say something sweet (but actually bitter)

-----99999----

Should I try to catch up to him now? Many times I have asked myself what this relationship will do. Yuna's lunchbox that I haven't returned and stuffing with my own food managed to make me think long.

“Hmm... Who made you bento so beautiful?” Dr. Vincent arrived in front of me.

“No.no.. I just asked. It's Korean food, isn't it? I thought a woman made you, if I had a boyfriend here, it seems I would feel relieved, someone my best doctor would last longer than the contract.”  Dr. Vincent patted me on the shoulder made me laugh.

“Hmm, someone did prepare too well for me. I'm not sure to start this actually..” He saw me thinking too much.

“Why?”

“We have a pretty decent age difference.” Doctor Vincent smiled at her.

“The money is just Dr. number. Joshua, what's more important is that you guys are pretty comfortable with each other. Although young maybe he has enough maturity to behave, if you immediately avoid because of age. Not a 17-year-old, is it? If it is still a dozen years it is not suitable.”

“Hmm...”.

“There's no harm in trying, who knows if you guys are suitable, don't think too far, just go for it, you'll know the answer, there's no way you know if you don't try to step in, besides, I remind you, if you go back to Korea before your contract expires, you get a penalty He makes me grimace.

Doctor Vincent got me thinking. Are we comfortable with each other? That question made me recall my memories, I actually had no problem with everything I knew about Yuna, her personality or her attitude. And the reason I'm comfortable is actually that he doesn't impose his closeness, he tries to be a friend, a concern, but never tries.

“Yun, want dinner.” I tried to make up with him.

“Ohhh, no Doc. Mom is waiting for me to come home. I go home first Doc..” He spoke as usual but he really didn't want to get involved anymore, not even dinner. “Goodnight Doc. I've sent the schedule tomorrow.” And she disappeared as fast as the wind without even seeing me. Makes me not have a chance to talk to him.

It seems true that Joo-mi's troubles are enough to keep her away forever, having previously somehow tolerated the hick*ey sign. This time he really gave up, when I was just honest talk and I think this time maybe he was serious, in a few days he automatically closed himself off from talking outside of work.

He never made me any more food, didn't ask me for his lunchbox, and after a while I suddenly felt that I was losing my closeness. Now I miss the unimportant stories. Either comment on our patient or the gossip he listens to. Like something was missing from my day. At least I can consider him my best friend all along. Of love? I'm still afraid to talk love...

Should I go after him...? Give ourselves a chance. At least try, Yuna has been so kind, the fact that I might miss her closeness is one thing I can't deny. If I just let her go, didn't give us a chance, I feel unfair to her.

A few days later, with all my thoughts, I decided I should talk to him, free tomorrow. He and I won't be in the office tomorrow. He went in to make a final report and asked if there was anything he could help him with again.

“Yuna, thanks. This is your food box” I returned the lunch box that afternoon.

“Yes, okay Doc.” She smiled at me, and she never even called me anything but Doc. Maybe it was when I first attended a gathering with a client, but it was only once, and never again after her. “There are others, otherwise I see you on Monday then..” He's getting ready to go home.

“Yuna, you want to accompany me watch?”

“Ehh He froze for a moment. As if I can't believe I said that. “You said ..onton?”

“Iya..wonton, eat, tomorrow we are free, it might not matter if we go home a little late.” He still looked at me in disbelief.  I move in front of him. “And I want to talk a little.”

“I told you you don't have to feel bad Doc. I'm mediocre now. You don't have to worry about anything. I'm going home first.”.He insisted he would not respond to me and turned away.

“Yuna!”Steps ceased. And I came up to him, made him flip his body and look at me. “We have to talk.”

“What's problem..”

“Later. Not here.” He still hasn't given an answer. I need to force it a little.  “I see you in 30 minutes at lobby.”  He looked at me and assessed me and I had to wait for his answer.

“OK..” And his short answer made me secretly sigh in relief.
