"Hey Jenna, would you like to go out for a beer tonight?", Jimin, her friend from college, asked.

"I'd love to, but I have an MRI appointment tonight for my leg remember?", Jenna grumbled. Jenna got into a serious accident a year ago and she broke both of her legs, but now she was almost back to normal. And today she was sent to do an MRI. Just a quick check-up on how her bones are healing.

"Oh, that means you have to shave the jungle-" before he could finish the sentence Jenna slapped the back of his head.

"Don't you dare", she glared at him.

"Woah, didn't know it was a sensitive matter", he raised his arms in defence and she rolled her eyes at him. It wasn't that her hairy legs were a sensitive topic, Jeena never cared what people thought of her hairy self, but it took her a long time to accept it. She endured bullying and name-calling just because she was slightly hairier than her other classmates.

But throughout the years she learnt to accept it and talk about it freely because, in the end, this was who she was.

"Don't worry, I'll still love you with all that hair", he inched closers to her with a cheeky smile on his face which made Jeena roll her eyes, "Besides, what's the big deal, everyone has hair", he shrugged.

"Easy for you to say sphinx", Jenna scowled, annoyed at the fact her friend had no body hair whatsoever.

"Hey! Don't compare me to that scary looking naked cat", he protested.

At home, Jenna spent the afternoon watching cringy dramas under the covers. At 5 pm her alarm beeped signalling that she only had an hour to get ready for her appointment. Jeena stood in front of the mirror in her shorts, complementing whether to shave her legs or not.

"Besides, it's not a big deal, everyone has hair", Jimin's voice rang through her thoughts.

"He's right, everyone is hairy besides, in all the years I've been to that clinic I have never seen a man."

Not that it mattered if it was a man or a woman, but Jeena was more comfortable around her gender.

She changed into a long sweater and baggy jeans before walking out of her apartment.

Jeena entered the clinic with a book in her hand after going to the reception she was asked to wait.

"Kim Jenna!", a nurse called after half an hour.

"That's me."

"Please follow me", she said before guiding her to a changing room.

"Please take off your pants and all metallic things like earrings, bracelets and watches. When you're done please knock on the door and we will come to get you", she said before walking out.

Jenna took off her pants and all her accessories, before standing in front of the mirror examining herself or her hairy legs to be specific.

"They don't look that bad", she mumbled as she twirled a bit to get a clear view of them. Jenna's legs were slightly tanned, which helped with camouflaging her leg hair. Her body hair used to be thicker and darker, but thanks to the countless laser treatments they got thinner.

A manly voice made her turn her head to the closed door.

"Nah, it can't be", she mumbled as she shrugged it off, but inside she desperately hoped that the sound came from somewhere else and not from the room she was about to enter.

Jeena knocked on the door a couple of times signalling them that she was done. The door was opened, revealing an enormously tall man who greeted her with a smile.

Jeena's jaw dropped slightly as the man stood in front of her urging her to come out of the dressing room.

"Miss, are you okay?", he lowered himself to reach her eye level.

"I-I U-uh yes I'm fine, I'll g-go now", she internally kicker herself for stuttering before she sprinted to the MRI table.

Jeena looked around looking for the female nurse that guided her to the place, but she was nowhere to be seen. Jeena didn't have anything against the fact that her nurse was a man, she just hated that she didn't shave her legs for the appointment and to make matters worse her man nurse was hot. Extremely hot.

Jeena glanced at him as he was getting everything ready. He was tall, maybe three heads taller than her, His skin was slightly tanned and his eyes were small but they twinkled beautifully. She glanced at his name tag.

Kim Namjoon.

"I'll move your legs now", His deep voice woke her up from admiring him, before his slender fingers wrapped around her small ankle and moved it into the right position. His broad shoulder strained his white shirt and his rolled-up sleeves revealed strong veins that ran down his muscular

forearms.

Jeena closed her eyes veins have always been her weakness, especially when they were on the arms of a handsome man.

She took a deep breath before opening them again and seeing Namjoon's eyes scan her face, his eyes stayed there for a couple of seconds before moving down to her legs.

Jeena started pulling her sweater down unconsciously. Him standing near her unshaven legs made her massively uncomfortable. After a couple of seconds, Namjoon walked away and Jeena let out a sigh.

"I shouldn't have listened to that dumbass Jimin. I should've shaved my legs" she grumbled annoyed. The door opened again, Jeena looked at Namjoon who walked in with a blanket and headphones in his hands.

"I got you a blanket", Namjoon said as he covered her exposed legs.

"Thank you", Jeena smiled gratefully at him. Her cheeks were a dark pink shade as she scratched her neck in embarrassment.

"I will cover your ears with these headphones because the sound of the machine is loud", he added as he tried to place the headphones over her head.

Jeena bit her lip as her eyes looked everywhere but at Namjoon, then he inched closer and their eyes met. Jeena's breath hitched in her throat. She never knew that eyes could look so fascinating. His eyes reminded her of the starry midnight sky she loves to admire.

Her eyes went down to his cute button nose then moving down to his slightly plump lips. They stayed in this position for what felt like hours but were actually only a couple of seconds before Jeena felt her hair being tugged harshly.

"Ouch", Jeena winced, her hands reaching for her hair that got tangled in the headphone slot.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry", Namjoon's eyes widened as he tried to help her untangle it, but the man only made it worse by pulling it.

"O-Ouch! No stop! I'll do it", Jeena slapped his hands away.

"Oh, I'm sorry. The test will take 10 minutes, please press this if anything happens", he mumbled before giving her the emergency bell and walking away.

Jeena felt bad for snapping at him and she spent the 10 minutes in the machine thinking about what to say and how to apologize.

The ten minutes passed and Namjoon walked in, he turned the machine off and started removing the towel.

"Wait!". Jeena blurted.

"Yes?", Namjoon asked.

"Can I please keep the towel to cover up my legs? Just until I reach the dressing room", her voice faltered.

A beautiful deep chuckle escaped his lips before he nodded, "Of course miss."

She nodded and stepped down the bed, then quickly wrapped the blanket around her waist.

"Thank you", she smiled nervously and he nodded in response.

"Uhm- Excuse me?", Jeena asked.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry for snapping at you back then, I didn't mean it", she avoided his eyes.

"Oh, that? No worries, I'm sorry for almost ripping your hair out", he rubbed his neck with a soft smile. Jeena admired the little dimples on his cheeks.

"Oh by the way", he added, "Don't worry about your legs, no one is looking anyway. It's all for medical purposes", he reassured.

Jeena's face went bright red as shame ran through her veins. Him reminding her of her hairy legs made her want to scream in embarrassment. She nodded before sprinted back to the dressing room.

"Miss Jenna? The blanket please", Namjoon opened the door of the dressing room only sticking his arm in, without looking at her.

"Oh yeah right, I-I'm sorry", she stammered as she handed him the blanket. When his arm was gone she closed the door and made sure to lock it before plopping on the chair with her hand on her chest.

"Woah, that must've been one of the most embarrassing moments in my life", she said before she ruffled her hair in frustration. She stayed there a couple of minutes as she waited for the shame to wash away. Ten minutes later she stood up and got changed into her clothes and walked out of the clinic.

Jenna dialled the number of her annoying best friend Jimin.

"What? Miss me already?"

"Damn you Jimin, no really, damn you for planting that idea in my head!", she hissed into the phone.

"Okay, which idea? You have to be specific."

"You have no idea what happened now. I want the ground to open and swallow me up. Disappearing from the face of the earth sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?", she grumbled as she walked down the chilly evening.

"Woah, easy there what happened?", Jimin's voice sounded slightly worried.

"I embarrassed myself in front of a man", she sighed.

"Was he hot?", Jimin asked.

"Hot doesn't do him justice", Jeena sighed dreamily as she remembered Namjoon's beautiful smile.

"Oh shit, this calls for you coming over and telling me every single detail", Jimin demanded excitedly.

"How dare you sound excited when your best friend just embarrassed herself!", she huffed.

"Oh come on, it's not like it's your first time. Now hurry up I can't wait for the details!", Jimin piped.

"Fine, I'll be there in 10", she bid him goodbye and stuffed her phone in her pocket.
