chapter 48

                               1"I am sorry, Sir. I was not feeling good after having brunch. Maybe I skipped my last night's meal and then breakfast too and then I ate heavy cheese sandwiches on an empty stomach. I came out for some fresh air. I am sorry, Sir. I should have informed you", said Zaini."Why are you skipping your meals? Is everything alright?""I am just lazy about preparing my meals after going from the hospital", said Zaini in embarrassment."What about breakfast?""I slept late. I was watching a drama", said Zaini trying to hide that she was stressed because of her boyfriend."Are you for real? You can stay awake late to watch a drama but you cannot make a meal for yourself! How will you give consultations to your patients about health proper diet, and sleep when you are not following anything at all? I hope it was not Kim Jae's drama?" said Ji Hoon.Zaini was looking down. She was feeling embarrassed. "I should have made some other lies. Why do I have to say that I was watching the drama!? Ahhh... I have spoiled my image. Already he thinks I am reckless and now I am irresponsible too", thought Zaini.Zaini looked at Ji Hoon and said, "I will be careful from now onwards and will prepare my meals and eat a healthy diet.""Whose drama was it?""KIM JAE", said Zaini slowly feeling scared of how he would react as she knew he didn't like Kim Jae. Then only Kim Jae also arrived."Welcome Mr. K...", said Ji Hoon and then paused looking around."People are skipping their meals to watch your shows. You are unhealthy to your watchers or your fans if she is also the one!!" said Ji Hoon in sarcasm. "Maybe she wanted to be stressed out. My shows bring smiles to their lips and happiness to their hearts!" said Kim Jae. "You mean only stressed people watch your shows?" "Well! There are a lot of reasons to watch any drama but the best reason I know is to feel happy away from their stressed work life or personal life!" said Kim Jae. "These dramas only waste people's time by making them glued to the screen and make them lazy!" said Ji Hoon then he looked at Zaini and said, "I hope you are feeling better now. If yes, go to room number 1109 and check the vitals of the patient. That patient will go for his surgery this evening. And, you will be assisting me in the operation."And, then he again looked at Kim Jae."Where did you go suddenly?""I received an important call soZaini breathed out in relief. "What he thinks he is?" asked Kim Jae looking at Ji Hoon who was going inside the hospital building."Heir of this hospital!!" uttered Zaini.Kim Jae looked at her and both of them laughed.                                 2"So you were watching my drama? Which one?" asked Kim Jae as both of them walked toward the pediatric department. "A Beautiful Love", said Zaini without looking at him."Hmm... That one was a romcom. You are quite a romantic person! Why were you watching that drama?" asked Kim Jae."I have watched all of your dramas. This is my favorite one. I usually play this drama whenever I feel alone or stressed", said Zaini."So you were feeling alone or stressed yesterday? And why?" asked Kim Jae pretending to be not knowing anything."Well, staying in a foreign land makes you feel homesick sometimes, and also sometimes you don't have anyone to talk to. Thanks to your drama! I could fall asleep", said Zaini looking at Kim Jae."Great! I hope my upcoming drama will be that fun to watch too. Do you have no friends here?" asked Kim Jae. "I have. You would be surprised to know who my best friend is here, It is Kim Min Ho... Your writer", said Zaini with wide smiley eyes. "What??""Yes. He is amazing. His maturity level is at another level. I feel at peace after talking to him", said Zaini and smiled. Kim Jae looked at Zaini with curious eyes."Is she falling for Kim Min Ho? Not Kim Jae?" thought Kim Jae. He felt jealous of himself only!!"How was the food box? I hope you liked everything", said Kim Jae trying to show Zaini how he cared for her. "Amm... It was yummy. I wonder how I didn't know, all this was available in our cafeteria!" said Zaini."I chose them for you", thought Kim Jae and made a weird face."By the way why all your classmates are jealous of you?" asked Kim Jae again trying to recall Zaini what he did for her."I am an outsider. That's why!" Zaini recalled the liplock instead of how Kim Jae fought for her. She felt embarrassed and shy again. "So what? I find you devoted to your work and I appreciate how good universities are there in your country", said Kim Jae. Zaini was still thinking about the liplock.She looked at him and asked, "Were you always that talkative?" "Nope!! It is you. A beautiful girl like you can make anyone talk!" the words just came out of Kim Jae's mouth when he saw Zaini looking at him. Both of them looked at each other in their eyes for a while. Zaini pulled Kim Jae's arm and came to the stairs section. She removed his mask to which Kim Jae gave her a confused look."I wanted to check if it is you or someone else!" said Zaini."Why?""How can a superstar as you talk to me like that? I am just a simple girl", said Zaini."I like simple girls only and have never met someone like you earlier. I feel drawn to you!!" said Kim Jae finally not able to control his feelings. Zaini could not believe what she heard. "Mr. Kim!! Are you drunk?" "I need not be drunk to express my feelings!" said Kim Jae looking deep into Zaini's eyes.
