Chapter 34 - Parasite? Nah. I prefer gold digger

Park rolled his eyes. "Pfft, just because I ask to borrow a bit of money doesn't mean I'm not functional! I just need a little help, alright? And besides- You're a multi-millionaire from all those sweet, sweet drug royalties! What's the use of having a billionaire friend if you can't mooch off them?" he replied, a bit petulantly. Why did the other make it seem like he was a disaster on legs?

"I'm not a billionaire," Elias rolled his eyes.

Park made a dismissive gesture. "Eh, close enough. Billionaire, millionaire, potato, potato. The point is, you have a lot of money," he said matter-of-factly. He was about to help himself to the fifth candy from Elias' secret stash.

"You parasite," Elias grumbled, swatting his hand away.

"Rude. I prefer the term 'gold-digger,' thank you very much. Or 'sugar baby' works too," Park said, sticking his tongue out. He pouted more when his hand was swatted away from the candy for a second time. Rude.

"Anyways, I heard something... interesting." A devilish glint appeared in his eyes as he smirked. "A little birdie told me you operated on a certain person surnamed Morgan, who might or might not have the first name Raphael- and we both know who that is."

There was a knowing gleam in his eyes as he tapped his fingers against the glass of Elias' desk. They'd been friends since med school, after all. They were even roommates. So it was safe to say he knew about Elias'... entanglements with Raphael.

"I mean, imagine my sheer surprise when I heard the great Dr. Kang is sending lunch to a patient. The horror," he said dramatically. "I, being the very good and concerned friend and nosy little shit I am, of course, had to investigate."

Elias rolled his eyes, sighing. Just what he needed—this leech knew about it. "Jaehyun," he started, pinching the bridge of his nose, "You're implying what, exactly? I'm only doing that because he keeps complaining about the hospital food and won't eat, and technically, he is under my care and therefore my responsibility. I'm not like you. I don't treat work like Tinder."

"Oh please- You have a stick up your ass when it comes to relationships, don't you? It almost seems like you have something against love!" Park replied, leaning forward with a smirk. "Love is an open doooor-"

"Close it."

"Stop being such an Elsa!"

"...Do I need to remind you what happened to the other girl... What was her name?"

"Don't pretend you don't remember the name. You LOVED that movie. You went to watch the sequel, first day, first-show. And besides, in the end, love helped Anna! Kristoff!"

"...What has my life come to? I'm seriously here with you, arguing about Disney."
