Namsan Botanical Garden

Suga stopped eating and looked at me.

I starred at him and he said "I would never try to hurt you."

I said "Yeah that's what all doctors say."

Suga asked "You think I'm going to hurt you? Is that why you don't want to be friends?"

I said "Your a doctor and remind me of it every time I look at you."

Suga asked "What do you have against doctors?"

"I don't want to talk about this." I said as I continued to eat.

Suga said "I would never hurt you. I'm really nice and cool."

"Alina tells you this right?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.

Suga said "My coworkers also say the same."

I simply just said "Oh."

Suga smiled and continued to eat.

After, awhile I thought he would stop smiling but he didn't. I finished eating and asked "Can I ask why you're still smiling?"

Suga drinked water and said "I'm always smiling."

I said "When you saw me earlier you didn't even look at me or talk to me. Then when you came to check on me you didn't even smile either."

Suga raised an eyebrow and said "I did look at you while you were cleaning the tables in the cafe."

My eyes lighten up and I couldn't help but show it. "Mhm sure." I said trying to act like I didn't believe him.

Suga continued and said "Plus how did you want me to smile while you were all in pain in that medical bed?"

I looked away and said "Don't say things like that or be looking at me while your with your girl."

Suga said "Alina knows how much I care for my patients."

I nodded my head as he was right I am just a patient to him and Alina was so pretty and nice.

Suga asked "You're daydreaming about what? That fast?"

I looked up at him and lied to him by saying "Nothing just thinking about my job."

Suga said "Oh! Call your boss your not going."

I straightened up in my seat so fast as I shouted "I can't!"

Suga jumped a little to my action and asked "Why not? What's wrong?"

I sighed and said "I need to work."

Suga chuckled and said "No you don't. Your health is my and your priority."

I stood up and said "You don't understand. It's about to be the end of the month in three days."

Suga looked at me confused and said "I don't understand."

I hissed and said "Yeah cause your a rich doctor."

Suga chuckled and said "That sounds better than in the movies where they call doctors perverts."

I said "I have to work so I'm going."

Suga said "I won't go to your work and take care of you. If you stay here then I'll stay and protect you."

I nodded my head sideways.

Suga asked "Why?"

I said "Rent is due and I get paid in three days. If I miss I won't have where to live."

Suga looked away and said "Where do you exactly live? Maybe I can talk to the owner of the apartments."

I said "No you won't and I'm going to work."

Suga said "Let me speak to the owner and if nothing works out then maybe you can live with Jimin. Honestly, what matters is your health and not this job or rent."

I looked at him surprised as he didn't understand anything about being poor. "I won't go live with Jimin." I said as I looked out his window and glanced at Jimin's window.

Suga turned to look where I was looking at and he raised his eyebrows. "You live in the apartments that are right infront of my view?" He asked surprised.

I sighed and said "Maybe or maybe not."

Suga chuckled and said "Wow that's not surprising. I have some patients living in the same hallway as me."

I looked at him shocked and asked "And they don't care?"

Suga said "They're very happy that I save lifes once in awhile but I think I'm moving soon."

I looked at him confused and asked "What? Why?"

Suga chuckled and said "You sound like you care."

I chuckled and said "I mean your neighbors would be very sad I guess."

Suga nodded as he said "Alina wants me to go live by her."

I said "What? Don't?"

Suga frowned and asked "Why not?"

I walked to the couch and said "What if you guys fight or something?"

Suga drinked some water and said "People fight all time and it makes us stronger."

I looked at him and said "Your absolutely right."

Suga said "I'm still thinking about it though."

"Why?" I asked with curiosity.

Suga shrugged and said "I don't know."

"If I really loved him or her I would go." I said with a soft smile.

Suga said "Wow."

I instantly asked "What?"

Suga asked "Nothing but how are you feeling?"

I said "I'm in pain because I constantly keep thinking about itching."

Suga said "Alright let's go."

I looked at him shocked and asked "Where?"

Suga said "Just come on. We need to get your mind off of your body."

I laughed and said "Ok then."

Suga smiled and we got out of his apartment. We got in his car and he drove off.

It wasn't a far off place because we got there pretty quick. We got off the car and I asked "Where are we?"

Suga smiled and said "Namsan Botanical Garden."

I smiled as I said "Garden that sounds good."

Suga said "Exercise is good and were going to kill some calories right now."

I chuckled and said "Alright let's do it then."

Suga smiled as we walked in and I said "Oh my this place is beautiful but it's so quiet. I like it!"

Suga looked around and said "I wanted to take you to a place where not so many people were at and where your skin could breathe in fresh air. This should really help out the pores of your skin and most importantly your body."

I looked at Suga and said "Thank you."

Suga looked at me and said "I'm just here to help."

I looked away and started to look around as we walked.

The more I looked around I fell more in love with the beautiful flowers all around and trees. This place got prettier and better for my health.

"This place is amazing." I told Suga.

Suga said "I'm glad your liking the place."

I couldn't help but smile and just widen my eyes more. It started to get darker outside but I wasn't really scared sense I was with Suga. Yet, I hardly knew him but it didn't feel like he would hurt me. We continued to walk but we didn't say anything.

Suga broke the silence and asked "Why didn't you tell Jimin about your situation?"

I looked over at Suga and asked "You trying to get rid of me?"

Suga chuckled and said "I would never do that but I know you would."

I gasped and said "You act like I'm mean."

Suga said "You are."

"What? How?" I frowned as I asked.

Suga stopped and asked "Are we friends or not?"

I stopped and looked at him serious. He started to walk again and said "See?"

I walked after him and said "That doesn't count."

Suga said "Yeah me being your doctor doesn't count against me being your friend or does it? Because honestly, it feels like you just don't want to be my friend because I'm a doctor not just your doctor but A DOCTOR."

I looked away and took out my phone to take a picture of the roses in front of me.

"Did you hear me or are you ignoring me because it's the truth?" He asked from behind.

"I clean my ears every morning. I don't know about you, though." I said as I jogged away to take more pictures.

Suga was going to come after me but he got a call. I looked back and saw he picked up.

"Hey, Alina is everything ok?" He asked with concern.

He smiled as I assumed she answered him with a yes.

"I'm already out of work." He answered her.

I walked much further until I made it to a bridge and looked down. It was a pond and I didn't really like ponds. I just felt like the water was to dark and made my soul feel scared. "If I fall in there would I drown or would I be eaten by small little fish? Is it even possible to disappear in seconds under water without anyone knowing or rescuing you?" Dumb thoughts came to my mind and I jogged away again.

I didn't want to feel sad or I just didn't want to feel nothing in general. I looked up and I could finally see the full moon in the sky so bright. That seemed to bring a soft smile to my face and just forget about everything.

I heard noises from the trees by the wooden fence and I couldn't help but sweat a little. I didn't wonder what it could have been I just ran off quickly and I didn't care if it was just a cute little bunny, like in the movies. I did look back though once in awhile just to calm my nerves a little. I chuckled once I stopped to catch my breath and looked around the path. More beautiful roses appeared and the scent was much stronger than the ones from earlier. Colorful trees and clouds started to make the moon disappear.

I heard laughter from behind and it was a young couple.

I blushed as they kindly said hello to me once they walked by. My eyes wouldn't stop analyzing their love for one another. I looked at them until my tears filled my eyesight and I could no longer see them.

Tears rolling now down my cheeks unable to control the sadness taking over my soul. With all the marks I had on my body why would anyone want me? Why would someone even take care of me? Would anyone give me love after seeing my body full of insecurities in and out? I started to feel hope that maybe their was a guy like Min Yoongi that would actually care a little for me. Yet, I felt terrified that maybe he was the only one that could make me feel like I feel now. I felt horrible for even thinking like this because Alina was now kind of my friend. I hope she knows how blessed she is to have someone who really cares about their patients like Min Yoongi.

"Hey what's wrong with you?! I didn't bring you here so you could cry. I brought you here so you could forget about everything and you could relax." He said right infront of me but I didn't even want to talk to him. I felt like I would hug him any minute because all of this. It was making me lose confidence in my own self and making me feel very weak.

"Mai? What's wrong? Did someone hurt you?" He asked.

"Yeah....me." I softly said.

Suga asked "What's wrong are you in pain?"

I chuckled and said "No my skin feels so good right now but I just feel so sad right now."

Suga said "Mai don't worry about nothing. In a few days you'll feel amazing just trust yourself."

I didn't even look at his face I was just looking at his chest all blurry unable to really see clearly.

Suga brought me to a hug and chuckled as he said "Your literally someone special. You know that right?"

My tears rolled down my face and my hands didn't even hug him back. "No...why?" I weakly said.

"I can't really seem to understand you like the rest." He said.

I felt myself getting embarrassed as how I was acting like a child instead of a grown up old woman I was. I pulled back, wiped my tears off my face and said "Sorry, I really needed to break down and lose myself a couple of seconds."

Suga looked at me really surprised and asked "How do you do that?"

"Do what?" I asked serious.

"Act like your ok in seconds. I would take months and maybe even years to get myself back up like you." He said.

"I don't want to be sad forever. I want to be happy like you." I smiled as I said.

He raised his eyebrows and said "And I want to be like you how you just collected yourself so quick. Acting like you didn't need that hug or anyone to get you smiling like you are right now."

"We can't depend on others for happiness." I said before walking around him.

Suga didn't say anything and just walked by me quietly. I sometimes felt his glances but I didn't even care. After, awhile I could see the end of the garden and Suga decided to break the silence.

"You won't work for the next three days and I'll give you money so you can have enough for your rent payment." He said.

I sighed and said "I won't except money from you."

Suga nodded his head sideways and said "I myself will go in person to your boss and tell him you can't go."

"No don't!" I shouted in frustration.

Suga said "Accept my money or I'll go."

I rolled my eyes and continued to walk. Suga walked behind me and we made it back to his car.

"I actually feel better so I won't stay with you and I'm going to work tomorrow. Thank you for all your help but I'm walking back home." I said as I walked away.

Suga ran beside me and didn't say nothing.

I stopped to look at him confused and asked "What are you doing?"

Suga said "I'm going where ever you're going to make sure you don't die for the rest of the night. If your going home then I'm going with you. I'm going with you tomorrow morning to your job to inform your boss your unable to work."

I looked at him disgusted and said "I can't believe you!"

Suga shrugged and asked "So what will it be? I don't know if Jimin would like me in your apartment or will he?"

I answered him back real quick "I don't think Alina will like it if you spent the night."

Suga said "Actually, she'll love the idea and even come join us. She loves helping others and just being with me."

I couldn't believe what he was saying and I felt defeated.

Suga said "I'll wait for you at my house if you wish to walk more."

He headed back to his car and I held my fist in the air. "Ugh I want to strangle him in pieces." I said aggressively.

I decided to walk on the sidewalk and said "I will not go to his house! I refuse to! Ugh! I hate doctors."

Suga pulled up on the side and rolled his windows down. "Are you done talking to your self?" He asked in a teasing way.

"No! Leave me alone!" I shouted and continued to walk.

Suga got off his car and I saw him getting closer.

"Stay back." I said holding up my hands.

Suga said "Mai just get in the car and let's go home."

I said "No leave me alone."

Suga said "You need to be applied your medicine around 4 times a day and you've only done it twice. Hurry, come on."

"Why are you making me do this?" I asked frustrated.

Suga got closer and said "I want you to get better now let's go."

I said "No."

Suga said "Fine then I'll give you the cream. So, Jimin can put it on you. Is that ok?"

I freaked out and shouted "No! Are you crazy?!"

Suga put his hands on his waist and said "I'm actually feeling really good but I don't think you will anytime soon."

I looked around and my eyes widen. "I'll go with him and when he falls asleep I'll leave, BINGO!" I shouted in my head.

Suga squinted his eyes at me as he starred at my actions.

"Your absolutely right. Let's go." I said walking to his car.

Suga bit his lip and watched me walk back to his car. He examined every move I made but he was very smart. He got back into his car and smirked. I caught his smirk but I felt mine was bigger. I felt like I was smarter than him for once. The ride was quiet and on our way up to his apartment was quiet too. I felt myself unease to why he was so calm maybe I convinced him or maybe he had a dirty plan.

We walked in and my eyes caught my clothes I had left behind on his couch.

"I'm sleeping on the couch." I said as I went towards it.

Suga said "Great I'll sleep across from you."

"What?" I said in a disapproval way.

Suga said "I can sleep in any position. I don't care if I sleep sitting down as long as your comfortable."

"I can't believe this dude." I said in my head.

Suga said "You want to head to the restroom so I can apply more medicine on you."

I didn't say anything as I went to the restroom and made a rude face once I shut the door.

I said in my head "Why does this dude got to make everything so complicated. These dumb doctors are-"

Suga knocked on the door and asked "Ready?"

I said "No."

I rolled my eyes how I hadn't even put some on and he already wanted to see me.

I took off his shirt and started to apply some on my neck, stomach, chest and the marks over my hands. I held his shirt over my chest and said "Come in."

I stood in front of the counter and watched him come in. He washed his hands and got some cream. I turned around and he began to apply some over my back.

"When will your hands ever be warm?" I asked.

I could sense a smile over his lips but I didn't want to turn to confirm it.

He was done and he said "If you feel like itching anytime between now and 12 tell me."

I didn't turn to look at him and I slipped his shirt back on. Then I turned around to look up at him.

Suga said "Uh remember you have to be comfortable while sleeping."

I looked at him confused and then understood what he was trying to say.

"I'm very comfortable and sleep like this." I said as I walked past him.

Suga held my hand back and asked "Do you want to feel better or not?"

I looked back at him and said "I will not sleep half naked in front of you."

Suga let go and said "It's for your own good."

"N-o..." I stuttered before heading back to his couch.

Suga said "Just remember your the one paying for your health and the one that needs the money more."

I looked at him impressed and said "Wow thank you for reminding me that I'm poor."

Suga said "Take your bra off or I will."

"No." I stubbornly said.

Suga said "I will not go to jail because of you."

I said "Give me a camera so I can record myself that-"

Suga interrupted me by saying "No."

I starred at him how a stubborn person he was and I couldn't win against him.

Suga said seriously "I'm going to get you a blanket by the time I'm back I hope you have it off. I mean it. I'm not joking."

I starred at how scary he sounded and waited for him to go. I got my clothes and made a run for his door to leave.

Suga shouted "I'll catch you up in a bit sense I know where you live or maybe I'll call you!"

I took my hand off the handle door and recalled at the hospital how they have all your data in file. He could just go on his laptop and look up my name. Doctors have access to your health, home, and phone number.

I put my forhead over his door and whispered "Mission failed."

I looked down at my skinny jeans and recalled how I couldn't sleep in tight jeans.

*Flashback*

"Mom can you check the back of my thighs?" I asked.

My mom asked "Why what's wrong?"

I said "I feel like right under my butt cheeks are on fire, it burns really bad."

My mom said "Let me see maybe you cut yourself or burned yourself."

I turned around and I was wearing very short shorts.

She gasped.

"What?" I asked in a very scared tone.

She said "I'm taking you to the doctor. Hurry up!"

"What's going on?" I asked scared.

She said "I don't know but it looks really bad."

I touched right under my butt cheeks and went down a little to my back thighs. It felt like sleep marks when ever you wake up and you have random marks on your body. Yet, it burned and hurt.

I went to the hospital and the doctor ordered me to pull my pants down. I had to lean over and let him touch me. Just for him to tell me there was "no cure" for stretch marks. Couldn't he had just looked a couple of seconds and just say it was that? Pregnant women are the one's that commonly get it but me? I wasn't pregnant or old. Apparently, only my butt area grew very fast and to rapid for my body to catch up. Making stretch marks leave their marks under my curvy butt. The only thing that would help was to not wear tight clothes for to long time and to sleep with clothes that would not cause inflammation.

"I can't believe you got very curvy but with stretch marks." My mother said upset.

I already felt disgusted with that doctor touching me and now I felt bad.

She added "You won't be able to wear those short skirts or shorts that you love to wear. You can't also wear dresses never again unless if they reach your knees. You need to go buy clothes that will hide those ugly marks. Oh and for that field trip to go to the beach you can't wear a bikini."

*End Of Flashback*

"I can't go home to get shorts so what do I do?" I thought for a couple of seconds.

Suga came back and I still had my forhead against his door. He went into the kitchen to get water and I starred at the floor. He took out his laptop and I finally turned to look at him. Suga drinked out of his cup like he was waiting on me to spill the tea.

I walked over to him and asked "Do you have shorts?"

Suga put his cup down and looked at me. "Why do you need that? If you wear shorts it would look like your actually half naked now. Don't you think?" He asked trying to understand me.

I looked down at his chest and glanced back up at him. "I can't sleep with tight pants cause I have poor circulation problems. I always sleep with shorts or sweatpants." I said really nervous.

Suga stood up and asked "So, you have stretch marks on your body?"

I widen my eyes and got defensive. "What?! I'm telling you something and you come up with something else!" I shouted really mad.

Suga tried to pat his hand on my shoulder as he said "Hey, it's ok. Calm down."

I stepped back and said "Don't tell me to calm down!"

Suga looked at me really sad as he said "I'm sorry."

I looked at him and felt bad for shouting. I got mad though cause he was right. I tried to deny it but it was true and I didn't like it. "Sorry it's just you piss me off sometimes." I said trying to make the situation better.

Suga said "I didn't try to piss you off but I think me just being a doctor will always piss you off."

Before, I could even say anything he got some sweatpants for me. He handed them to me and I grabbed them.

"If I were you I wouldn't wear them." He said.

I looked down at them and asked "Why?"

He said "It's summer and it gets pretty hot at night. Heatness may cause inflammation on your skin provoking it to irrit-"

I sighed and said "Ok I get it! Then what do I do? You don't got shorts."

Suga chuckled as he said "I do but they don't fit you. You'll probably wake up with no shorts on."

I nodded and said "Spit out what you got to say cause I know you know the answer."

Suga laughed and said "How do you know that?"

I looked at him annoyed and said "Apparently, your my doctor and I'm your patient."

Suga drinked out of his cup again after saying "You won't like the idea."

I asked "Do I have another choice?"

Suga said "I don't know if you have anything better in mind. I would take you to the store but you wouldn't accept any shorts from me or would you?"

I said "I would not."

Suga nodded and asked "Want water?"

I said "No now tell me."

Suga asked "Have you taken off your bra?"

I felt myself get overheated with his question.

Suga said "Then go ahead and add the pants to your "to do list."

He sat down and started to type into his laptop. I stood there shocked to how smooth he let it fly out his mouth. I turned around and walked to the couch. I sat there and thought what to do.

"Tik tok." He said.

I looked back at him and asked "Won't you sleep?"

Suga said "No, I have to work."

I looked at him crazy and asked "Right now?"

Suga laughed and said "Doctors are like almost working all the time."

I looked away and nervously sighed.

Suga said "I won't do nothing to you if you're worried."

"I'm worried if Alina comes and sees us." I said looking back at him.

Suga said "I'll go to my room if it makes you feel any better."

I stood up and said "No I won't make you feel uncomfortable. This is your apartment and I'm assuming you always do your work there."

He looked at me as I went to his restroom and took my phone with me.
