Baekhyun shivered as he took a sip of his morning coffee that seemed to warm him up on this cold spring day. With each gulp that he took, the young doctor could feel a dose of caffeine pump through his blood, making his drowsiness wash away in a matter of seconds along with his feeling of coolness.
He was quickly maneuvering his way through the psychiatric ward, afraid to be even a second late since he slept in today. The head doctor might be his friend but he does not tolerate being careless towards work.
Taking a right turn, the boy almost ran into one of the nurses who was pushing a cart with medical supplies. With a slight bow, he apologized for not watching his step and just continued his way to his office.

"Good morning, Baekhyun! I see that you're not late today," Dr. Zhang said with a teasing tone as he closed the door and sat down on the chair opposite of Baekhyun's.
