"I respectfully don't want to be your friend." Jungkook said as Taehyung blankly stared at him.

"I said respectfully!" He quickly added.

"Oh boo-boo. I'm so heartbroken! Who says I want to be your friend anyways? Anyone who doesn't think cutting into skulls is great is no friend of mine."

"Dr. Kim, I'm trying to maturely speak to you."

"Uh huh. Maturely," he said leaning back on his chair.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I appreciated you teaching me. This whole month has flown by and I have learned to enjoy neurosurgery and cutting into brains. I really hope that you now assign me to a resident that has my preferred specialty."

Taehyung put the pen between his lips as he smirked. Jungkook straightened up, not used to seeing him smiling. In fact, the times he had been shadowing him he had seen him smiling a total of three times. All of them when he was about to ruin Jungkook's mood.

"Dr. Min wants to extend the first rotation."

Jungkook's mouth dropped open, "Wait, wait, wait. What? Extending rotation? What does that mean?

"Do you need to clean your ears Dr. Jeon? I said—"

"But why? When did this happen? I—I thought—"

"You thought wrong. Looks like you're stuck with me until further notice." He said with a grin.

Jungkook frowned, closing his eyes while mumbling angrily at himself. Taehyung stood in front of him catching the younger off guard once he reopened his eyes.

"Personal space." Jungkook said, stepping away. Taehyung chuckled. Even his laugh was deep.

"Come on. Being stuck with me can't be that bad."

"It must be a mistake."

"I make no mistakes Dr. Jeon."

Jungkook put his hand against his mouth. "I think I'm going to be sick."

Taehyung pulled out a pink tablet wrapped in a clear package. He handed it to him and Jungkook took it while examining the tablet.

"It's a chewable Pepto Bismol. Would you like for me to open it for you?" He asked with a teasing hint in his voice.  

"No. I'm perfectly fine." Jungkook ignored the acceleration of his senses and he quickly walked out of the room.

He held his clipboard tighter to his chest as he stormed off to check on his current patient. Being stuck with Taehyung was definitely the worst thing in the world.

So why was his heart racing at the thought of seeing him everyday?

•••

"Jimin, why are you still eating jelly beans?" Jungkook asked. The slight irritation of his voice wasn't directed at him. It was the whole "stuck with your resident until further notice".

"I can't get him out of my head. Every time I see him I want to kiss him!"

"I can understand that feeling."

Both Jungkook and him flinched at the unfamiliar voice. They turned around to spot one of the interns, Vernon, standing almost beside them.

"Gosh. You scared me. Are you still crushing on Namjoon? You know that boy has no feelings. Don't waste your time." Jungkook said.

Jimin's eyes widened at the horrific words his friend was saying. He kept wondering when he would be told the same thing.

"Don't worry. We know each other. Dr. Kim and Dr. Nakamoto seem to always be talking in the hallways and we tend to spend lots of time together. Being stuck here for literal days makes you so much closer to the interns."

"Oh, okay, uhh, hi I'm Jimin."

"Yeah. I know. The one that's always being called out by Dr. Min. I'm Vernon."

"Yeah. That's me." He mumbled embarrassed.

"By the way, I'm over Namjoon. I found a cuter one." He said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Oh really? That's fucking insane. What is wrong with you interns falling in love with the employees here?" Jungkook protested.

"Don't you have a crush on one of the doctors here?" He wondered.

Jungkook shook his head quickly, "No. I'm here to work and learn. Not fall in love. No offense to you two."

"None taken." Jimin whispered.

The conversation was interrupted by Vernon's pager going off. He grabbed it and looked at the beeping machine. "Shit, shit, I'm being paged. I'll see you guys around." He said sprinting up the stairs.

"Does he really like Namjoon?" Jimin asked once Vernon was out of sight.

Jungkook shrugged, "He says Namjoon is hot. I told him to get over it."

"Geez and you say Namjoon is the blunt one?"

"Namjoon is pretty heartless. He's never even had an actual partner before. He doesn't even know how to be in a relationship."

"Well you know who does good in relationships? Yoongi. He's married." He said as he showed more jelly beans in his mouth.

"Okay, okay, Jimin. I need you back here." He said, snapping his fingers.

"Back where?"

"Back here on this hell of earth. I need you to talk to Yoongi about this bullshit thing."

"Why me? Aren't you the outspoken one?"

"Yeah, but you literally tried to kiss him and you two are sort of friends now."

Jimin winced at the "friend" word. He couldn't get over the crush he had on Yoongi and being stuck to him every forty-eight hour shift was miserable.

It had been exactly fifteen hours since their peaceful agreement to be friends and Jimin was losing his shit. Whenever he saw Yoongi, he swore there was this glow around him that made his heart skip a beat.

"Fine. I guess I can talk to him about it. Maybe it's better to be off his service anyways."

Jungkook grinned and patted Jimin on the back. "You go champion. Go set that shit straight."

"I can't promise anything." Jimin said as he walked towards the elevator.

"I truly believe in you."

Jimin sighed, pushing the elevator button and waited for it to open up. When it did, a doctor was already there.

He smiled warmly and stepped to the side to let Jimin come in. Jimin returned the smile out of respect, but didn't pay him much mind. Seconds later, he was getting off and once again Jimin was by himself.

By the time he made it to the floor where he knew Yoongi would be, he was almost done with the jelly beans in his pocket. He had three left to be exact.

His sweaty palms and shaky knees were making it worse. The excitement and fear he felt to see him alone in his office was uncontrollable.

Throughout these fifteen hours, he had managed to keep his distance from Yoongi aside when there was a procedure involved.

Yoongi didn't seem to notice his strange behavior. In fact, he was back to acting like himself again. Nothing compared to the guy he spoke to the previous night.

As he got closer to Yoongi's office he took the last three pieces of candy and chewed them. The sweet flavor filled his mouth making the queasiness in his stomach worse.

Before going in he rehearsed what to say because it seemed that his mind always went blank when speaking out loud. A minute later, his mind was spiraling so he decided to just go for it.

He was so nervous that he decided to peek through the window before going inside and that's when he saw it. Yoongi was feeling all over some guy. A tall, blonde man with navy blue scrubs.

Jimin only saw it for an instant before he looked away. The two were so into feeling each other that they didn't seem to notice him looking through the window.

He walked down the hallway with an unsettling feeling replacing the nerves. It was acceptance. That must've been his husband and that meant that there was no utter possibility between them.

And suddenly, the glow around Yoongi was dim.
