A/N: Hey chingus! Here's our update for today! Based on Amber's POV, and how she handled meeting Dr. Jung. 

Thank you to all our subscribers! 

Peace yow! ✌

Erratum 06.14.17 - I totally forgot that Dr. Liu studied Medicine in Korea. The education structure I used previously was extracted from the US. I edited that part out and corrected it. My apologies 😉 Thank you once again to hot-d_STILLed for correcting me. ✌

Yong-ganham Medical Center 

Amber's POV 

1 year ago....

I just got home from L.A. after taking a 1 month forced vacation from the hospital. Happy and excited to be back to where I belong, seeing familiar faces of my colleagues.

Spending time with my parents for the whole 1 month of my forced vacation is fulfilling, I really missed Mom and Dad.

Dad and I went camping with my sister Jackie, I drove Mom to our church everyday since she runs the administration office, Jackie and I went surfing from morning till dusk or until our bodies are exhausted from surfing. I got a little red not tanned, while Jackie looks like a native surfer with her skin color.

Parting with them again made me miss them more.

I was three years old when Dad was promoted as Vice President of the company he was working with, the main branch being located in Seoul, South Korea. It was a good opportunity for a young family man like him so off he goes with Mom, Jackie, and little Amber to a country we didn't know the language.

We were enrolled in an International School from Grade School til High School so that to further improve our English skills while learning Hangul. At weekends we have Mandarin classes at home through a private tutor. Parents said we shouldn't forget our roots.

I was already in High School when Dad decided to retire from the company, although they don't want to let Dad go. They compromised, giving Dad a chance to settle back again to L.A. and oversee the operations of the company branch there with large pay and time on his hands.

Convincing my parents to let me stay here in Seoul to continue my studies, they bought me an apartment and sent me money for my expenses. I also did some part time jobs for extra money.

I always wanted to be a doctor when I was young, the urge became strong when I accidentally got hook on watching E.R. with George Clooney on it. And of course Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs. The human body fascinates me, let alone healing someone who is sick.

Saving lives one step at a time. That was my motto when I started Med School after finishing High School. I studied for 6 years at Yonsei University one of the Korea's SKY universities (Seoul National University, Korea University, Yonsei University), considered the most prestigious in the country under the Clinical Science Department majoring in Surgery.

At 24, I took the KLME (Korean Medical Licensing Examination) passing the clinical and written test with flying colors and topping the exam. The examiners were in awe on my skills and critical thinking. What can I do, I'm a little bit gifted.

I started working in Yong-ganham because of an Uncle's influence and persistent nagging. Being an exam top notcher, the hospital offered me a job to be part of their General Surgery Department​.

But still because of my desire to even hone my skills, I took some additional courses and trainings so I can specialize in Laparoscopy even though I already studied it in Yonsei. For me, this is the new trend in surgery. Less traumatizing incisions, more recovery time. It's a continuous process of studying, you need to improve yourself and find new learnings to help you be up to date in latest discoveries and innovations in the field of Medicine.

And now that I'm 29 and at the top of my game, I have it all.

Loyal friends, my own luxurious apartment overlooking the Han river that I almost never use because I was always in the hospital, my complete collection of Jordans and computer games and toys. My collection of tattoos on my skin. Just that.

No girlfriends or flings. I don't have time for that.

I was in High School when I realize to myself that I'm different. Even though our uniform in school for the girls is strictly blazer and skirt, I follow the protocol but my hair is short like the boys. I also act like the boys and befriend the boys that sometimes some of them had crushes on me. I turned them down saying I only see them as bros.

The girls fancy me even though I'm in skirt saying I look handsome than most of our male classmates. Back then I consider myself as a Biual because even though I discovered my attraction to the same , I still harbor crushes to guys but not in a giddy way. It's like, having a crush with a guy because his nose is beautiful or his hair is awesome.

Then I fully embraced the fact that I'm only attracted with the same when I had my first girlfriend, Kim Seolhyun. She's a Senior while I'm a Sophomore. We only lasted for a month but she opened my eyes to the new dimension. Hehehe...

With my new found uality and becoming famous for being labeled by Kim Seolhyun as 'The best girlfriend I ever had', I started to have flings and girlfriends that only lasts for a month. There was a time when I dated four girls at the same time.

They were a singing group in our school and because I can't say no, I kinda expertly handled them until they caught me in the mall with someone else while the four of them are altogether shopping. It was a mess and I received four slaps, one each of them including my date so that's five slaps.

My friends Scott and Brian call my girlfriends as Amber's Flavor of the month. It continued til I graduated from High School. I ended it when I'm starting in the University getting my undergrad degree. I have to focus on my studies if I wanted to be a great medical practitioner.

I did dated a few but that's just it. My goal is to finish the degree without distractions and I did. When Med School started, that's the time I really shutted myself to temptation and focused on studying to be what I am today.

In my 5 years during my residency in Yong-ganham, I didn't date or had flings. I am a flirt, I admit that whole heartedly. But because of my goals and my desire to save lives, I didn't dare enter any relationship or any flings.

Time. That is the problem. I don't have the time to do that. I don't even have time to go home to my apartment and lie in my king size bed and marvel at my toy collection. A little flirting is enough... No problems, no heartbreaks, no messy lives. Even though sometimes they are the ones who throw their selves at me but I politely decline.

I had my fair share of fun when I was young. Right now, it's about being a responsible person. I chose this profession... By choosing this means I have to prepare myself to be alone for the rest of my life.

There are nights that it's kinda lonely when I'm alone in my room when I had the chance to go home in my apartment. That's why I spend many nights at the on-call room of the hospital. All I have to do is lie on the small bunk bed and just close my eyes, not caring if I don't have any
