Chereads / The Professionalism (BL) / Chapter 8 - “Segue”

Chapter 8 - “Segue”

4 days before the iron nurse leaves, he slowly packing things up. For those nurses around him know his reason. They will miss him so bad. The lesser things that he has, the lesser the staffs misses him.

While he was on duty, he received another note from a mischievous person saying "Hey, Are you ok? I hope everything is alright with you. I'm beginning to be worried because you are not responding to my notes."

The note is placed on his tray where his other paraphernalia are located. As he read the note, he beginning to feel warm inside. The genuine of the note intended for him.

He still doesn't know who wrote those letters but he is encouraged to push through by those kind words. He slapped his cheeks then he move around the hospital, delivering medicine, transcribing doctor's order and even having team teaching.

While he was walking, he bumped in to Tuxedo. "Good afternoon sir" he greeted and bowed. Tuxedo replied by bowing down as well.

The cunning nurse glared at the assistant hiding behind the Actor's back. "What brings you here?" the nurse added.

"We visited my father"

"Oh! ok then, have a safe trip" the nurse said.

Passing through the two men, Tuxedo finds it odd. "Nurse Mole is weird today, don't you agree sir?"

"Yeah~" Tuxedo agreed as he stare intently the nurse going further and further from them.

3rd day before his departure, the nurse fixes all his credentials as he handle minor cases. The admins gave him an ample of time to fix his documents.

While he was snooping around, a gullible doctor visited the nurse. "What are you doing honey?"

The nurse was red out of embarrassment, he quickly restrained the doctor by making him sit on a chair, asking him to be quiet.

"Do you want to die?" he whispered.

"Why are you surprised?"

"Surprised? I'm not surprised at all. In fact I'm embarrassed." Mole said pissedly

"Embarrassed of calling you honey?" he teases

"Embarrassed of having a friend like you"

"Why are we whispering?" Dr. Phun asked. Mole looked at him and asked "Could you please shut your mouth!"

The doctor handed a piece of note to Mole. "Here" Mole took it, puzzled.

"I found it in one of the doors of the patient"

"Door of the patient?"

'Does this person knows exactly where I go? Is this a stalker or something?' he insighted.

"Do you think that the person who wrote that is a patient?" the nosy doctor asked. Mole took a deep sigh and didn't say a word.

"let me change the topic. What is the first thing that you will do after completing your work days?" the doctor asked, imitating an interview in a talk show.

"First, I'm going to have some minor set back. After that, I'll enjoy myself by spending my time in vacations."

"I want to come! I want to come!" enthusiastically the doctor said. A short while after, the doctor was paged and so he left the nurse on his office.

Secretively, Mole read the note. The note was saying "Something is not right with you. you can at least tell me." Mole was beginning to be suspicious.

Once again, he didn't reply to the note. Hid the note on his notebook. Suddenly someone was looking for him.

"Nurse Mole, someone was looking for you." wondering, Mole stood up and went on the hallway. He saw a man wearing a cap, some documents and a box.

"Are you Nurse Mole?" the man said.

"Yes?!" he asked reluctantly. The man gave him the box. "Excuse me, I didn't order anything."

"That was from the Maximillians"

The hallways was filled with rumors again. Some people are curious of the box, some envy him and some was teasing him.

Mole doesn't care of his reputation or dignity this time because he knew that he has a few days left in the hospital.

He went to a secluded place and opened the box, He saw an expensive laptop and a note saying "This is my gift, please take this and use it according to your liking."

"Someone was researching" Mole whispered. He returned the laptop inside the box and repackaged it.

2nd day before his final departure, Mole wasn't wearing any uniform instead he was wearing a casual attire.

Everyone was wondering why the nurse wasn't on duty. Mole met Tuxedo alone in the hospital. The actor was curious of the nurse. "Why are you not on duty?"

"I want to be straight forward to you." he said. Tuxedo was all ears on him. "I'm going to accept the work but with condition."

"Let's go on a nearest café so we can discuss this matter."

"No worries, this will be quick and easy." Tuxedo was surprised of his brazenness.

"I have 3 condition. First, I should have only one patient as we talked about. Second, when lunch, breakfast or dinner, I should have enough time to take my own foods.

Lastly, When it is my rest time, no one should bother me unless it is really an emergency."

"Done, I also have mine."

"Ok, I'm listening."

"You'll be living with us.."

"Ok?!"

"…In Phuket"

"Phuket!!!"

"Foods and drinks are provided and it will not affect your salary. We have a house there and my father wanted to see the beach.

Last condition, you are not allowed to roam around without someone beside you. this is for your safety."

"Wait~ you mean Phuket? Phuket!"

"Yes and my father already transferred there. It is timely because my next project will be holding there."

"Good for you I guess!?"

"You'll come shortly, I'll be preparing your flight. As your employer, I will take care of your transportation."

"Thank you"

"what are you guys up to?" Dr. Phun butted in. He sneak on them perfectly that Mole jolted. "I should be going" the actor said.

Phun wrapped his arms on Mole's neck. Showing some dominance to the actor. The Actor saw the doctor's possessiveness so he glared at him.

The two part ways, leaving the nurse with the nosy doctor. "What was that all about?" Mole asked as he pushed Phun's arm.

"Are you free today?"

"No~ why?"

"I just want a company"

"Why~?" Mole was getting annoyed as the doctor lean his head on the nurse's shoulder.

"We broke up." Phun said

Mole tapped his back comforting him. "Do you want to cry?"

"No"

"Do you have work tomorrow?"

"none"

"do you want to stay in my place?" after hearing those words from Mole, the doctor immediately energized. He walked gladly pulling Mole's arm.

"Did they really broke up?" Mole whispered. Suddenly they halted. "Before I forgot, You have your last day tomorrow right? "

"oh~ I finished my things yesterday. That's why I'm in civilian. I was having my farewell to my co workers. So technically, this is my last day."

"Then let's have dinner at your place."

"Let's stop by the grocery."

"Ok! TO THE GROCERY!" the doctor shouted out of excitement. They went to the grocery and bought drinks and foods.

When they finally arrived at Mole's place, they cook dinner wile having fun with up beat music. They hang out together as if they were inseparable.

During dinner, Mole took out their drinks. Phun noticed something. "What's that?"

"Soya"

"yeah I know it's soya but why soya?"

"It's tasty and milky sweet."

Phun was holding a can of alcoholic beverage. Feeling cheated, He gave a can to Mole tempting to drink. The doctor's original plan was to spent time with Mole and be intoxicated as he neglect his broken hearted.

Mole pushed away the can. "Have a sip"

"No"

"Why not?"

"I don't like to drink alcohol"

"Even just one sip?"

"Yeah, Soya is more delicious than that" he defended

"Can I have a sip then?" Phun said as he snatched the bottle from Mole. He sip on the same bottle and had an indirect kiss.

Drunk, Phun finished his dinner and lay on the sofa with a can of beer on his hand. Mole stopped the music as he continues to finish his food.

"Isn' it nice?" Phun said while covering his eyes with his arm. Mole looked at him knowing that anytime, the doctor will burst out.

"We loved each other, we kissed and had a good time…"

"Drunk people, why do you have to be so dramatic?" Mole whispered.

".. she promised to wait but why let go?" tears falling down on his face as he remembers the time. Mole stood up and cleaned the table then he sat beside the drunk doctor.

He drank his soya while listening to the rants and dramatic memories of the doctor. "Jolly people, tends to carry a lot of burden. why concealing if it's better to let it all out." Mole whispered again

"You know, Nong, It's very painful in here." Phun said as he beat his chest.
