It has been few weeks since I got sick and fainted on my doorstep and umm...Ho-Jun took care of me!
Since then I haven't seen Ho-Jun, although we text each other sometime but it's always some small talks.
My life is still the same just the way it was before, waking up, going to hospital, hanging out with Minho and Junsoo, watching few k-dramas and so on.
Everything was good until now!
Want to know why!?
Because today's Valentine's Day!!!
I don't have a personal grudge on valentine's day or don't even think that because I don't have a boyfriend I don't like it.
It's just that, I hate seeing those clingy couples on the streets, especially those girls and boys who always fight the whole year and pretends to be so lovey-dovey today.
Saying they'll always stay together, but after few days only, they breakup saying that they found someone better or that they don't love you anymore.
Sigh!!
It's not that I don't like romantic stuffs, what I like is sweet love. You know, you can stare in a person's eyes and can get to know if he/she really loves you or not. They have you know those sparks or light in there eyes, which you can easily notice, if that person really loves you.
Now enough of this love and romance stuffs.
At present, I'm in my car driving towards the hospital to start my day.
Today's starting was not that good for me though.
At first, I woke up late, then as I was hurriedly making my breakfast, I noticed that I was out of ingredients and that I don't have anything at home to make something. Then, as I was making coffee, it turned out to be way too bitter.
"I guess, today's not a good day for me", I said to myself, driving quickly because I was running late.
Then suddenly, my car jerked up and I got worried, so I parked the car at the side of the road.
I got off the car to look what have happened and saw that it was a flat tire.
"Damnit!! How bad can this day turn out to be now!", I said, as I kicked the flat tire.
I took at deep breath and decided to call a mechanic to help me.
I took out my phone from my pocket and called. And after few moments the call was picked up.
"Hello! Is it the car mechanic??", I asked.
"Yes, it is ma'am! What can I do for you??", a man asked from the other end.
"Umm well, my car have a flat tire, so can you come and fix it up. I'm running pretty late so please", I requested.
"Can you tell me ma'am where are you now??", he asked.
"Yes, I'm near Gangdong station", I replied.
"It's pretty far, I can't come right now", he said.
"But it's pretty urgent you know".
"Ok ma'am, I'll try but you've to wait for a hour", he said.
"Ok!", I said and hanged up the call.
I was in a hurry and I didn't have time to wait for the mechanic, so I decided to call someone for help.
Minho and Junsoo can't come as they also will be in the hospital right now, the only person I had was Ho-Jun, but I didn't wanted to bother him.
And after thinking for a long time, I decided to give Ho-Jun a call.
He picked up immediately after only two rings.
"Hello!", his calm voice came from the other end and I guess, he sounds happy judging from his voice.
"Hey, Ho-Jun! It's me Minji", I said.
"Yeah, so what's up??", he said.
"Are you free right now??", I asked.
"Yeah! Why?? Is there any problem??".
"Umm actually, I'm in hurry right now and unfortunately my car's tire punctured. I called the mechanic but he told, he can come only after a hour, but I can't wait-".
"So, you want me to pick up your car after the mechanic repairs it, right??", he said interrupting me.
"Yes! You're right!", I said.
"Ok, no problem. Leave it to me and go", he said.
"But the car keys-", I said.
"Where are you right now??", he asked.
"Near Gangdong station", I replied.
"Ok, wait for five minutes. I'm coming", he said and hanged up the call.
After five minutes, I saw Ho-Jun running and coming towards me.
"Give me the keys", Ho-Jun said panting heavily.
"I'm so sorry Ho-Jun, because of me you've to come this far", I said looking at him.
"Hey, c'mon! It's fine", he said waving his hand.
"Thank you so much, Ho-Junnie!", I said happily.
"Ok ok, now go and take care on road", he said.
After that I gave him the keys and quickly got on a bus.
It took me nearly twenty minutes to reach and I was glad that I was not late.
I started my day with seeing the patients. The woman from the critical case me and Ara handled last month was getting better now and her baby survived. I was really happy for them.
My day went by quickly and it was pretty normal. I saw patients until 12pm, then I looked over few case files until 1pm and then went to have lunch.
After lunch, I had couple of surgeries and went to make my rounds around 5pm.
As I made rounds, I saw a man who came to visit his wife. He brought bright red roses for her because today was valentine's day.
I stood at the door looking at the couple for sometime, I saw the woman crying and the man comforting her and saying sweet words to her.
I asked an attending nurse that what happened to the woman and got to know that she has cancer.
I felt pretty bad for her and her husband but no one can do anything against the will of God.
It was already 7:30pm, when I came back to my room. I still had few hours left to get off work, so I decided to look over a few remaining case files and get ready for tomorrow's meeting.
I made myself a cup of coffee and got down to do my job.
When I looked up, it was already 9:00pm. I was thinking if Ho-Jun brought back my car or not, so I decided to give him a call.
"Hey!", he said, as soon as the call got connected.
"Hey! Umm, did you brought my car??", I asked.
"Yeah, it's in the hospital's parking lot", he replied.
"Thank you so much", I said.
"No problems".
"Ok then, I'm getting off work now. I'll talk to you later on then", I said.
"Yeah sure". he said and hanged up the call.
I closed my case files and placed them carefully. I wore my coat and took my bag and got off to go home.
I wanted to spend sometime with Minho and Junsoo, but Minho had some 'personal' work and Junsoo was busy 'cuz she had a night shift today.
I exited the hospital and went to the parking lot and spotted my car.
What I saw after that shocked me.
I saw Ho-Jun sitting inside the car, on the driver's seat. As soon as he spotted me, he waved his hand.
I quickly went towards him.
"You were waiting for me??", I asked, as soon as I came infront of him, a look of shock visible on my face.
"Yes!", he replied.
***********
I've been waiting for Minji from the last two hours, but still there's no sign of her coming out. I thought of going inside the hospital and look for her, but on the second thought it was not a good idea to visit her working place and disturb her.
'Maybe she's busy', I thought.
Today I was astonished to see, Minji calling me as I was talking a scroll nearby.
After our concert few days ago, I didn't had any free time, so I decided to take a day off today.
At first, I decided to take her car to the hospital and leave the car keys to the security and they would pass it to Minji, but after sometime I changed my plan and decided to take the car to my home for the time being and then pick her up after work.
I was listening to some music when I saw Minji entering the parking lot.
She soon spotted the car and was shocked to see me inside there. I waved my hand to her and saw her as she started to make her way towards the car.
"You were waiting for me??", she asked as soon as she came infront of me, a look of astonishment was visible on her face.
"Yes!", I replied.
"How long have you been here??", she asked again looking quite calm now.
"I just got here", I lied.
"Oh I see".
"So, why are you here anyway??", she asked.
"Umm.... actually I thought it was not the best idea to take the car here and leave the keys to the security, so I took the car with me and decided to return it to you when you will get off work", I replied.
"Thank you for that, Ho-Jun", she said smiling at me.
"No need to thank me, Minji! We're friends, remember?", I said.
"Yeah yeah, I remember".
"So, let me drop you and your car off".
"No no, you don't have to do that", she said waving her hands.
"It's completely fine. Now c'mon hop on".
"But then, what about you??", she asked.
"What about me??", I asked.
"How will you get home??".
"Oh! You don't need to worry about that. My hyung will pick me up from your home".
"Oh I see!".
"Shall we go now??", I asked.
"Sure!", she replied with a cute smile.
I don't know why, but I liked the way her eyes shine when she laughs or smiles. Seeing her genuine smile, I couldn't help myself but also smile behind my mask.
She got inside the car and we immediately hid the road.
It's was a forty-five drive from the hospital to her apartment.
"Look Ho-Jun! It's snowing!", she exclaimed excitedly.
"It's beautiful", I said looking ahead.
Snow was falling lightly and with the lights on the street especially installed for valentine's day, the scene was very pleasing to the eyes.
I turned my head and look at Minji and she was smiling brightly, as she looked outside the car to watch the snow fall.
I don't know, but at that instance I didn't wanted to drive, I just wanted to look at her.
I snapped out of my dream world when I heard Minji's voice.
"Why are you alone on valentine's day??", she asked looking at me.
"What do you mean??".
"I mean..... don't you have a girlfriend??".
"Umm.....no".
"But why?? You're such a nice guy".
"Actually, I'm still searching for the right one", I said looking at her.
"Oh I see! So, what types of girls do you like??", she asked.
"Well....I don't mind if she's younger than me or older than me, she should be mature enough to handle a difficult situation by herself, she should be cheerful, she should know how to cook, so that I can cook with her", I replied.
"What!? You know how to cook??", she asked.
"Yes!", I replied.
"And what more??".
"And the girl should have pretty legs".
"That's was short", she said.
"Yeah, I don't have much requirements. I just want a girl who can understand me and whom I can understand well".
"So, what type of guy do you want??", I asked.
"I want a guy whose playful, the one who can enjoy his life but also take his work or job seriously, I want someone infront of whom I can let my guard down, I want a guy who spoiles me by buying me ice creams and can handle my mood swings! You won't believe it, but I've terrible mood swings, sometimes I'm happy and sometimes I'm sad or angry. But one think is there, if I get angry just don't say anything and stay beside me, I'll calm down eventually after only two minutes", she said.
"It's not hard though", I said.
"And I always cry whenever I'm angry", she said and started laughing.
"Sounds like you're a baby", I said laughing with her.
"You can say that. Sometimes it's good to be immature, if you always act a mature person and don't express your feelings you'll eventually forget how to smile only".
"I agree with you, you should sometimes show your inner child infront of the people who genuinely care for you, so that they can know how you actually feel".
"Exactly! It seems like we both have same thoughts about these stuffs", she said.
"Exactly!".
