'Today's the day I'll tell Minji who I actually am', I told myself and took a deep breath.
I went inside her hospital and made my way towards the reception.
"Hello, sir! Can you tell me your name and the doctor's name you are going to see, so that I can comfirm your appointment", the receptionist said.
"Umm.....I actually don't have an appointment", I said scratching my head.
"Then can you tell me the name of the doctor you want to see", the receptionist asked.
"Dr. Minji", I said.
"Sorry, sir....but she-".
"Hey, Ho-Jun!", as I was going to hear what the receptionist was going to say, Minho came and interrupted her from saying.
"Hello! Dr. Kim", the receptionist greeted.
"Hello, beautiful! Today you look amazing", Minho teased and the receptionist face turned red.
I rolled my eyes with annoyance and was about to ask the receptionist about Minji when again Minho opened his mouth.
"So, what's you doing here buddy??", Minho asked me.
"I'm here for some work", I replied.
"Oh....then can't you tell your friend about WORK do you have in here", Minho said.
"I don't find it necessary to reply to you", I said angrily.
"If it's about Minji, then it is my business", Minho said with a smirk.
"How come me meeting Minji is your business!?", I said narrowing my eyes, this guy was getting on my nerves now. At first when I met him, I thought he was a nice guy, but now when I think he's just too annoying.
"Because she's my BESTFRIEND, duh!", he replied rolling his eyes.
"I don't want to answer you", I said and turned towards the receptionist.
"So, can I meet Dr. Minji??", I asked her.
"About that, sir.... she's not here at the moment", the receptionist replied.
"What do you mean?? She should in the hospital right now", I asked.
"That's-".
"She have gone to a campaign in South Africa", Minho said before the receptionist could say anything.
"Then when will she return??", I asked the receptionist.
"After one month", she replied.
"What!?", I exclaimed in shock.
"Excuse me, but it's a hospital", the receptionist said.
"Sorry about that", I apologized.
"It's ok".
"It can't be helped them, I'll call her later", I said and turned to leave when suddenly someone grabbed my shoulder.
"What do you want??", I asked Minho, as I turned to look at him.
"I want to talk to you about something", Minho said.
"Sorry, but I've some work to do", I said and started to leave when again Minho grabbed me.
"Are you sure you don't wanna know??", Minho said in my ears.
"No-".
"Mr. Jeon Jungkook!", he said and I was shocked, as I my eyes became wide.
How the hell did he know about me?? Did he also told Minji?? When did he got to know about me?? Damn it!!
As million of questions bombarded in my mind, Minho spoke again.
"It's not a nice place to talk, Mr. Jeon! Let's go to the terrace", he said and started to make his way towards the elevator.
I didn't say anything, just quietly followed him inside the elevator, I wanted to know that how did he knew about me and did he tell Minji about me also.
We reached the terrace, it was very quiet there only the busy sounds of the cars could be heard.
"So, how come a world famous k-pop artist is here in this hospital and that also looking for my friend, Minji", Minho said.
"That's non of your business but, first tell me how did you found out my identity", I asked removing my mask.
"Oh, it was easy, I saw your tattoos the first day you came at Minji's place", he said shrugging his shoulder.
"I see".
"Now, back to my question. Why are you looking for Minji!?".
"I want to tell her the truth".
"About your true identity!?".
"Yes!".
"But why her??".
"What do you mean??", I asked.
"Why do you want to reveal your identity to Minji!?".
"Because I don't want to lie to her anymore", I said firmly.
"Oh, so you like her then!?", Minho asked me with a teasing grin.
"Yes! I mean no! No, I mean I obviously like her as a friend", I said quickly.
"Is that so.....then why are you blushing!?", Minho asked.
"If your quiz is over then I gotta go", I said and turned to leave.
"Jungkook", as I was about open the door and leave, I heard Minho calling me.
"What??" I asked.
"Jungkook, Minji is a very simple girl with a very simple life. Why do you think she came all the way here to live here, leaving her parents, friends and everyone back there", Minho asked but I couldn't answer to his question.
"She came here to avoid any type of relationships", Minho said.
"What do you mean??", I asked.
"According to her, any type of relationships puts chains on your arms and legs and you can't escape from there. She came here because she wanted to see the world. I had a feeling that after this year she may shift in some other country".
"What!?", I asked in shocked.
"Yes! I got a hinge earlier only".
"But we can't just let her go".
"What can we do?? It's her life afterall and when Minji determines that she will do something no one can stop her".
"But-", as I was about to say something, I heard Minho phone ringing in his pocket.
"Hello!", Minho said as he answered the phone.
"What!? Now?? Okay- I'm coming", he said and quickly turned to leave after hanging up his phone.
"What happened??", I asked nervously.
"Oh! It's just an emergency. You don't have to worry, you may go back now. I'll call you later", Minho said and quickly left.
"Guess like I should head home", I let out a sigh and started to make my way back.
'Today also I couldn't tell Minji the truth', I sighed and got inside the car.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor. Kim", Doctor Drake said in english, as he stretched his hand for a handshake.
I took his hand and smiled. Doctor Drake was few years older than me and he's also the head of our team.
"The pleasure is all mine", I said.
"You don't seem to be a Korean, Ms. Kim", he said.
"I'm actually an Indian".
"Ah, I love India. I visited India last summer and it was a memorable trip", he said with a smile.
"I'm glad you liked it there".
"So, how did you end up becoming a doctor in South Korea??", he asked.
"That's a long story, doctor Drake", I said.
"Oh please, call me Drake".
"As you please".
"Thank you".
"As I was saying it's a long story and we don't have time now as we have make many preparation before we leave tomorrow", I suggested and he nodded in agreement.
"Ok then, if you may excuse me. I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow", Drake said and left.
"What were you guys talking about!?", Yeona asked, as she came to stand beside me.
"Oh! We were just greeting each other", I said.
"Okay-".
"Shall we head back to the hotel now, we have a lot of work to do before we board the plane tomorrow", I said.
"Yeah, let's go", Yeona said and we left to go to the hotel.
