THE DOCTORS ARE OUT || JEONGCHEOL

EP 72

- Third Person POV -

Jeonghan barged into the house greeting a sleeping Chow who woke up on Mrs. Boo's lap on the couch.

"Whatdoido?!Whattheheckiswrongwithme?!I'msuchanidoit!!WhydidIdothat?!Soembrassing!!!AAA..." Jeonghan spoke without taking a single breath as he collapsed on the ground beside Mrs. Boo looking for consoling from her.

"Come again, Dear? I didn't understand a single word you just said. Maybe try breathing in between your sentences?" Mrs. Boo closed her book chuckling.

"Cheol just told me he liked me."

"Oh?!"

"Yeah..."

"Oh my! That's great! You don't have to worry about telling him anymore! Tell me, did you look into his eyes as he leaned into a kiss?" Mrs. Boo's eyes sparked with a grin as she fangirled.

"Well, as you can see, I left in a panic and I'm now lying on the floor while a cat slowly suffocates me."

Chow had jumped off Mrs. Boo's lap and curled onto Jeonghan's chest.

"Wait, does that mean..." Mrs. Boo's imagining turned to dust.

"I told him I wanted time to think about it. That's the smart thing to do, right?"

"A little boring but sure, you do you." Mrs. Boo sighed.

"Better boring than just jumping in without thinking it though."

I just hope you don't get too caught up in thinking that you forget to enjoy the moment. What are you worried about anyway? You like each other!"

"Ugh, where do I even start? Chan, our careers, our relationships, our sexuality, the list just goes on... Like, how do we go forward from here on out?"

"Then why don't you just tell him all that? The answers to those questions shouldn't be coming from one person, y'know? Even if you take weeks to figure it out, your perfect approach might not sit well with him. Tell him everything, all our doubts and worries. When it's all laid out on the table, it'll be easier to sort it out together."

"O-Okay. I'll try." Jeonghan sat up.

"Yep, I heard that from the drama I just finished! Just remember, when everything starts slowing down and Cheol is suddenly sparking, that's when you kiss!"

"Clearly, someone's been watching too many TV shoes."

"Let me have thus, you're already living your own romance."

><><><><

"Why do I always end up like this with you?" Mingyu asked hiding under the blanket beside Soonyoung after f-ing him.

"You're making it sound like it's my fault. I gave you one look, and you were all over me." Soonyoung rolled his eyes.

"This bedroom is cursed!"

"Nah, pretty sure it's us. But I wanna make sure we're still on the same page here... All this, it's casual, okay? No feelings involved."

"Yeah, I'd prefer that too."

"True, it's too much of a hassle." Soonyoung stared at the ceiling.

"Yeah, I'm tired of things being so complicated. It's better like this. And then there's your brother. Come on, we shouldn't stay too long here." Mingyu sat up.

"Yeah, let's go."

><><><><

Mingyu drove Soonyoung in front of Jeonghan's house as he looked outside the window. "The lights are out. I think he's already asleep."
