Chapter 01

"Minji-ah. Please come shopping with us. Our group isn't complete without you." My best friend, Jiyoon begged over the phone. I love my friends, but when I'm not at the university, I like to be alone. I feel as though I don't fit in with them. I feel like they only hang out with me because they sorry for me. I've always been the outcast, even in high school, but I like it like that. I don't enjoy people's company.

"Moon Jiyoon. I've told you multiple times before that I don't like shopping. I don't have the money for it anyway." I sighed annoyed that I always have to repeat myself when it comes to her.

"Jun Minji...." She whined. I hated that tone of her voice.

"Ah OK OK. I'll come, but I won't be there long because I have to go into work." I growled as I angrily hung up the phone. I stormed downstairs and went into the kitchen to tell my mother. "Eomma! I'm going shopping with the girls, then I'll be going shopping with the girls, then I will be going into work. I'll be home at 10:30pm. I told her. She looked at me with an eyebrow raised. A bottle of Black Label in one hand, and an illegal cigar in the other.

"Yah! Why would I care? Get lost!" She screamed. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the house with my large bag over my shoulder. Few minutes into the walk, I decided to call my dad, since I don't get to see him much. I dialed, and he answered on the second ring.

"Minji! How are you?" he chirped .

"Hello appa. I miss you...Eomma still hates me."

"She doesn't hate you, she's just consumed by all alcohol and drugs who knows what that stuff does to her mind." He assured me.

"Appa, it's not normal though. I don't want to live with her if she's going to continuously do those things. I want to live with you." I frowned.

"No, Minji. It's too dangerous here. I'll come and visit you soon. I promise. I love you little one." He always says that, but he's filled with empty promises.

"Love you too." I huffed before hanging up. I continued walking along the path with my head down.

"Minji, Minji!" I looked up to see Jiyoon standing outside the mall with Baekhee and Hyemi. I quickness my pace as I saw them.

"Hey." I greeted lazily.

"Come on Minji. There's a sale at Banila B!" Jiyoon gripped onto my wrist and pulled me into the shopping center. I just let her pull around since I wouldn't get to have a say in things anyway. Baekhee and Hyemi followed along behind us, they had their own private chats. They were probably about me most of the time. I know they don't like me, which is quite a shame because I like them.

We obviously went around to every shop in the large shopping mall. Jiyoon and Hyemi did most of the shopping, Baekhee and I just spoke our opinions on the clothe. I checked the time on my phone and my eyes widened. I was already 12 minutes late to work.

"I have to go! I'm so late for work!" I gasped, forcing my bubble tea into Jiyoon's hand. I said a speedy goodbye to the girls and started jogging. I'm not very fit, so you could imagine how hard this was for me.

I walked into work, wiping off the sweat on my forehead, and put my bag into my locker. I work at a hospital for people that have suffered trauma to their bodies. It's amazing how many people are here, yet none of them have the same illness.

"Minji, we're getting a new patient in today. I want you to be his somewhat guardian. He was in the military for a year. He lost his eyesight when he went through a poisonous gas, and since he got back, he has a bit of a...drinking problem." My boss, Kim Seokjin, came up to me without making eye contact as he explained this new patient. I'm glad he didn't notice my late arrival.

"What's his name, and how old is he?" A folder was thrown at me, and luckily for my good reflexes, I caught it. I flicked through it quickly, then shoved it into my locker, slamming it shut.

"Kim Yoongi, 22. Take care of him. He doesn't usually enjoy other people's company, so don't take it to heart if he's rude to you." He warned me.

There's something we have in common.

"I'll handle it." I pushed past Jin and trudged over to a patient's room.

"Hello Namjooon." I smiled as I opened the door.

"Are you here to sign our marriage certificate? " He mumbled.

"Of course Namjooon! But first, you must take your medication." I took his pills off the shelf and handed them to him. He downed them with water and lay his head back on his pillow. Kim Namjooon was in a car accident 2 years ago, which caused damage to his brain and left his legs paralytic. He was my very first patient when I started working here.

"We can get married later. I think I'm going to sleep first." He murmured, closing his eyes. I grinned as I left his room, going to my next patient, when I felt a vibration on my leg. I caught hold of my pager and saw and saw that it was Jin. What does he want now?

I walked over to his office and knocked on the door. "Come in." I heard from the other side. I slowly opened the door entered. "Take a seat. You're next patient is about to arrive."
