You, Taeyong, and Taeyeon got a page from the Chief to wait at the trauma bay. Taeyong greeted you and gave you a kiss.

“No kissing in the hospital,” You scold him, “You may kiss me all you want outside of the hospital but in here, I am just another doctor.”

Before Taeyong could give you another kiss, Taeyeon shoved the patient papers in both your faces. The 3 of you started reading on the V.I.P patient.

“Blackwell? As in the prison?” You ask.

The Chief came up to the 3 of you, “Have you read up on our V.I.P?”

“Yes,” The 3 of you say unison.

“Multiple stab wounds, badly beaten. She will have guards with her at all times. Cuffs will stay on, leg irons will stay on. Watch your syringes, sharps, and pins. I don’t want any accidents.”

*beep beep*

“She’s here,” The Chief said, “The 3 of you are my team. No residents. Keep this as quiet as possible.”

“Chief, what’s P.D.R?” Taeyeon asked.

“Get her in and out of trauma as fast as you can. The guards will attract a lot of attention.”

“Sir it’s stamped P.D.R. What is P.D.R?” Taeyeon showed him the paper.

The Chief hesitated, “Prisoner...death row.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jisoo and Rosé were talking to Park Nari. Her lawyer sat next to her.

“I understand your hesitation but you need a second surgery.” Jisoo said.

“Haven’t you put me through enough-”

Her lawyer stopped her, “I can make some calls, see if we can get you transferred to another hospital.”

“It’s been a week. Transfers take time, the longer we wait she’s at greater risk for infection and blood loss.” Jisoo explained.

“I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t move. The thought of your hand back inside me…” Nari looked at Rosé, “But you can do it.”

“Wh-What?”

“You were there. You stayed calm. You were kind.”

“Oh but Dr. Jisoo is far more experienced-”

“No. She’s not touching me,” Nari refused, “Promise me she won’t touch me. You can do it. She can’t.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ms. Son Soojin can you hear me?” You ask.

“Your voice is very lovely,” She moaned in pain, “My legs really hurt. Was I stabbed there?”

“No.” Taeyong bluntly replied.

“If I wasn’t stabbed in the leg why does it hurt so much?”

“The less you talk the more we can work-”

“Taeyong!” You cut him off.

“That’s alright. He’ll warm up as we get to know each other,” Soojin chuckled, “See, we’re not that different, you and I. People are alive when they meet us, then it all changes.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“2 days ago there was a code in room 2049 and no resident to cover it,” The Chief scolded Joy, “the schedule is a mess, your mess. Clean it up.”

The Chief walked away to tend to his work. Wonwoo walked up to Joy.

“Wow, Chief had on his stern face.” Wonwoo chuckled.

“I was really happy this morning. Wanna know why?” Joy asked, “Because I have back-to-back solo surgeries today.”

“Your face is telling me you want something.”

“Will you cover for me? Just do the Chief Resident thing so I can stay happy? Just for today. Please, please, please.” Joy begged.

“You want me to-”

“Be me. But, better. Be you.”

“Fine.”

Joy walked off to O.R. 4. Yuta walked over to Wonwoo.

“Do you know where Dr. Y/n is? Ugh, she hasn’t been giving me any surgeries for a week now. I think she still secretly hates me.”

“Um, Dr. Joy told me to tell you to find another specialty.” Wonwoo said.

“What?”

“Yeah, find another specialty. Go work in the ER, test the waters. Or here,” Wonwoo shoved a chart in his arms, “Discharge this patient.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mingyu went to check in his face lift patient, Yoo Yeona.

“What’s up Yeona, let’s get you out of bed, get you mobile.”

Yeona moaned, “No I’m too much pain leave me alone.

“Well the best thing for pain is to get you out of bed and get you moving. You’ll feel much better.”

“I will feel much better if you leave.”

“Yeona-”

“Stop scowling. You can scowl later when you actually have something to scowl about. Like when you get fat and can’t move. Right now you’re young, you should be having fun. Go! Enjoy your life, you getting uglier by the second.”

Mingyu left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuta went to check on his patient, Min Hwan.

“Hey there Hwan, how’s it going?” Yuta asks

“By ‘how’s it going’ you’re asking me if I had the pleasure of taking a crap yet, then it’s not going.” Hwan groaned.

“It’s been 5 days since your bowel resection, you should be-”

“Crapping by now? What’s the problem? Did you people botch my surgery? Is my crap leaking out into my body?”

“The surgery was a success-”

“Listen, Dr. Yuta, I have been divorced twice, my children hate me, filed for bankruptcy, my life has basically sucked. But through it all, the one thing I had going for me was I crap like clockwork. It’s a simple pleasure and I want it back. So write me a prescription to make me crap!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Play Dynasty)

Rosé and Jisoo started scrubbing in for Park Nari’s second surgery.

“You know, there’s nothing in the rule book that says you can’t operate once she’s under,” Rosé informed Jisoo.

“No. If she wants a resident to do her surgery then a resident will do her surgery. I’m not operating on a patient that doesn’t want me to operate on her.” Jisoo handed Rosé the surgical mask, “Look. I wouldn’t let you operate unless I know you can handle it.”

“I could perforate her bowel-”

“You won’t!” Jisoo cut her off, “I will be in there with you the whole time. Look, I don’t waste my time on mentoring just anybody. Finish scrubbing in, you have a patient waiting.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ahh!” Soojin screams in pain.

“I don’t get it, she’s still in a lot of pain.” You shook your head.

“It’d help if we could get her off this backboard,” Taeyong said.

“She’s got decreased sensation to her lower right extremity.”

“According to her,” Taeyong scoffed, “She could tell you anything.”

You ignored him, “We put 10 of morphine she can’t be in this much pain.”

“Maybe push a little bit more?” Soojin asked.

“We’re here to treat you, not to feed your drug habit.” Taeyeon said.

The door opens as Jinyoung came in with the X-rays. You took a look at them.

“Dr. Taeyeon,” You called her over and pointed to the X-ray, “What’s that?”

“Whatever they stabbed her with is still in there.”

“Her back?”

“Her spine.”

Soojin laughed, “Does that mean I’m paralyzed? My execution is in 4 days, but if I’m paralyzed, my lawyer might be able to make a case for staying my execution. You guys think you can let me be a gimp?”

“No.” Taeyong replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rosé had been doing just fine at her solo surgery so far.

Jisoo looked over to Jin, “Everything look good?”

“B.P’s stable, BIS level’s 45. She’s still asleep just like the last time you asked. 2 minutes ago.”

Rosé continued with the surgery, “Anastomosis looks clean. Bowel’s intact”

“Get a new mesh,” Jisoo told her.

“Oh by the way, I don’t read stupid magazines in the O.R.” Jin said, “Before I was reading an article on anesthesia. In case you were wondering.”

“I wasn’t”

“I actually don’t like the sitting down part of my job. Not great for by back, I like to keep in shape, so I can carry my big buckets of money.”

Jisoo rolled her eyes, “I yell when I’m scared. Some people cry or duck, I yell. When she woke up it was scary, so I yelled. Then I yelled some more, it’s what I do.”

“Was that your apology?”

“Closest thing you’re gonna get.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonwoo opened O.R. 4 where Joy was having fun with her solo surgery.

“Dr. Joy, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“I’m in the middle of a shattered femur, thank god for men who ride motorcycles.” Joy laughed.

“Uh, there’s some scheduling issues you have to deal with,” Wonwoo informed her.

“Can you handle them again? Thanks!”

Wonwoo walked out of the O.R, Yuta walked up to him.

“I need to talk to Dr. Joy, my patient won’t crap and won’t stop talking about it.” Yuta complained.

Mingyu spotted Wonwoo, “Hey is Joy in there? My face lift won’t walk. She’s abusive I can’t work with her.”

Rosé ran up to them, “I’m done with my patient but I’m not sure if I can discharge her if she files a lawsuit.”

The Chief spotted the little group in the hallway, “Is there a problem here?”

“Uh no, just a little jam. Dr. Joy has it under control,” Wonwoo assured him. The Chief nodded and walked away, “Ok, this is what’s gonna happen. Put crap man and face lift in the same room, they can abuse each other. Rosé, your patient can stay another night. And if anyone asks, none of this was my idea.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jisoo found the Chief in the ER watching everyone do their work. She walked over to him.

“Hey Dr. Jisoo. How’d the repair go?” He asked her.

“Perfect. No complications.” Jisoo replied.

“That’s good. How’s the lawyer?”

Jisoo laughed, “Lawyer’s still here. Drooling.”

“Shit.” He cursed.

“Tough day Chief?”

“Yeah.”

“You know 9/10 times, you can make a lawsuit go away if you apologize. People like to feel respected and they like hearing apologies.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You, Taeyong, and Taeyeon took a closer look at the X-ray.

“We’ll do everything by the book. I don’t want some lawyer keeping her alive on the basis that we didn’t giver her standard care.” Taeyong ordered.

“You’re pro-death penalty?” You asked.

“I’m pro-punishment.”

“She’s still a person, we don’t know what crime she committed. We can’t judge-”

“No. But a jury can. Go do a repeat crit. Let me know if she needs blood,” Taeyong ordered you.

You rolled your eyes before leaving the room.

“I thought you 2 were dating,” Taeyeon pointed in confusion.

“No, in here we’re just doctors.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Chief looked around for Wonwoo and spotted him going over discharge papers.

“Wonwoo!” He called out, “Do you have any idea why Park Nari is still here?”

“I believe Dr. Joy decided to keep her here another day.” Wonwoo replied.

“Why would she do that if Dr. Jisoo was ready to discharge her?” The Chief asked.

“You’ll have to ask Dr. Joy, but if was me I’d keep her here another night to try and talk her out of the lawsuit.”

“And why did Joy have Mingyu and Yuta put their patients in the same room? That’s a clear violation of protocol.”

“You’d have to ask her. But those 2 were impossible, neither one was willing to follow post-op instructions, so if it was me, I would put them both in the same room to encourage each other to get out of here faster.” Wonwoo explained.

“And Dr. Joy told Yuta to find another specialty? It’s odd to tell someone who’s so adamant about Cardio to change specialties.”

“Again, you’d have to ask Dr. Joy. But maybe it has to do with the fact that Yuta is still a bit unsure about Y/n. So Yuta needs to see what else is out there, otherwise he won’t fight hard enough to stay with Cardio.” Wonwoo shrugged, “But I’m just guessing. You need to ask Joy”

“That’s just what I’m gonna do.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Play A Bitter Day)

Joy had just finished her 4th solo surgery of the day. The Chief had been waiting for her.

“Dr. Joy, you got a moment?” The Chief asked her.

“Uh, I don’t actually, I have 2 more surgeries today. But I know the schedule’s been a little crazy. I’ll get on it tonight.”

“No. You’re not, actually.”

“Yeah, you’re right. It may not happen till tomorrow but uh-”

The Chief stopped her, “You’re not gonna get on it at all.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and Taeyong continued to check up on Son Soojin.

“Is there any family we can call or-”

“I think what she’s trying to say is, what did you do to get on death row?”

“Taeyong!” You yell.

“It’s alright.” Soojin chuckled, “This one thursday, I was on a date with my boyfriend. We went back to his place and did usual date night stuff. Then he fell asleep, I for some reason couldn’t. I just really wanted to draw a knife across his throat. I had been thinking about it for a while, then this thursday, I just had to do it. I thought it’d be scary or sad, but it wasn’t. It was just...really fun. Then I did 2 more on Saturday, and another 4 on Sunday. Was gonna go for 6 on Monday, until I got caught.”

You and Taeyong left the room to prep an O.R.

You stopped him, “I tell you to treat me like a doctor here, but do not ever speak to me like I’m a resident. And what is going on with you today? Soojin is still a patient here, treat her like one.”

“No.”

“Excuse me?”

“I will not be kind to the killer who thinks we are 2 sides of the same coin. And if you want me to treat you like a doctor, then you act like one. Stop making friends with patients, stop acting like you’re their babysitter. This isn’t psychology doctor, that’s on the 5th floor. Stop confusing the 2.”

The 2 of you walked in silent all the way to the O.R. waiting for the nurses to bring your patient.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonwoo was at the front desk filling out some papers. The Chief went over to him with crossed arms.

“Dr. Wonwoo, you’ve been covering for Dr. Joy.” He started.

“Chief, I’ve just been shuffling a little paperwork for her-”

“You’ve been doing the lion’s share of the Chief Resident’s work. All the responsibility and none of the credit. You deserve the credit. You deserve the job. I should’ve given it to you in the first place. I hope you’ll take it now.” The Chief offered, “Because what you do and how you do it makes this hospital work.”

“Well, it’s about time you noticed.” Wonwoo looked away, “‘Cause…”

Wonwoo turned around and gave the Chief a big hug.

“Thank you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You, Taeyong, and Taeyeon started surgery, it was ghost silent. You and Taeyong couldn’t even bear to look at each other.

“So did anyone catch the game last night?” Taeyeon tried to start conversation.

“You know you shouldn’t even be on this case,” Taeyong snapped at you.

“Oh what’s she gonna do, jump off the table and get me?” You sarcastically replied, “I’m the one holding the knife.”

Taeyeon was uncomfortable, “Um, we’ll be doing a nephrectomy. One of you should mobilize the renal hilum.”

“I’ve never done one, but I’d love to try,” You said.

“Yeah because a nephrectomy is a trauma procedure, I’ve done it hundreds of times.” Taeyong pointed out.

“Well to some of us, surgery comes naturally, others have to practice,” You shot a look at Taeyong.

The 3 of you finished up the surgery successfully and cleaned up. Everyone’s shift was over as the doctors packed up their items in the attendings’ lounge. You got your bag and headed towards the door, Taeyong opened it for you, you made eye contact before quickly leaving and not looking back. And just like that, the 2 of you were strangers again.
