#2. Your Number

Beautiful Life

*Your PoV*

 

"Thank you for the coffee." I said after we sit at the corner of our hospital's caffetaria. He insisted on buying me coffee because he thought I buy him some bread and soup using my employee ID. Well, techincally, my employee ID connected to my hospital account, but they won't charge me if the meal don't exceed the daily meal limit. Some bread and a cup of cream soup won't cause it, since I can afford 3 full meals using my daily meal limit. 

"Thank you for the meals." he said with a little laughter before start eating. I observed him as I chew my sandwich. Taemin eats a little rush but he really looked like he enjoy his meal.

" You seems really hungry, huh?" 

" Yes. I've been on diet since yesterday. I planned to eat breakfast with manager hyung at seven, but I got phoned by the police instead." he said. 

" Ah... eat well then. But eat slowly. I don't want you to cause any choking incident here." I tried to diminished awkwardness by joking but I regret it right away. 

" No, it won't happen." He said carelessly. I laugh. 

" You don't know it..." I said.

" I do know it." he said while smiling sweetly. I take it as a joke so I laught at him and continue breakfast. 

" Why are you the one who's taking care of your manager and not otherwise?" I asked after a few moment of silence. 

" He is, it's just he has a bad control on alcohol. Our company would fire him if they found out. So, in return, he begged me to take care of him when something like this happen." he explain. I nod. 

" What if you get into trouble instead? Wouldn't it harm your reputation?" 

" I know someone will help me then." 

" Who?" 

" I don't now it yet." He said as he looked like he have something in his mind. I take it as a joke again. Well, no one knows the future, right?

" We should probably go back to my manager. He'll need to be home before eleven." Taemin suddenly stand up and take the tray with him. I look at my phone. it's twenty past ten now. So, we've been spending about an hour of breakfast and talking without me realizing it.

" Yeah..." I answer then walk with him back to the ER. 

" Hyung! let's go, you'll be in trouble if we don't leave now." Taemin said to his manager. The older man get up looked like a whole mess. I wrote some resume before discharging the patient and asked Taemin to sign it. 

Just before he left my ER door, he ran back to me.

" Minna ssi, can I get your number?" He asked shyly. I looked at him with hesitation. He's already all covered but seeing my hesitation, he pull down his mask and smile. 

" Our office is not too far from here, and probably we can have breakfast or lunch or dinner together again?" He said. I looked at him, search any kind of treat or joke or to see if he just play with me, but I don't find it. 

"Okay, here's my number." I said. He took back his phone after I put in my number.

" I'll text you later. Just replied when you're not busy." he said before we said good bye to each other then he made his way home. 

I look at him until he's disapear from my eye sight then I realize something. I couldn't see his past! 

 And so that was it, my first time meeting Taemin in this life.
