Junho intentionally bit his lips, eyes set on her lips. "First of all..."

"Hmm..." Staring back at him Aera replied, her arms crossed.

"Why did you leave the surgery half-way?!" His body all tensed up, his yell was deafening. Junho's hand was lifted up in the air due to immense anger.

Blinking her eyes due to the shocking tone of his voice, she replied. " I had period pains, sir."

"I can't believe people still use that excuse." Changing the fuel in the atmosphere, he replied in a calm manner. Junho gave a fake smile until his face fell neutral, his mouth lying in a morbid line and his cheeks rested.

"I'm sorry about that, sir. But may I ask a question?" She replied.

"What?! Just go on." He responded, giving a serious face.

"Why did you have to lock us up? Do you have any plans of hitting me up?" Aera was never fond of Junho's antics nor would she like working in the same team as him. Being the sarcastic girl she is, she tried to garner another expression from him.

"Huh? I..." He looked away, trying to hide the red tint growing in his cheeks.Aera was chuckling in the inside as she sees Junho's flustered reaction. "I'm heading outside now, sir. Oh I think I'll call you Junho instead. Let's break the formalities, lover boy!" She pats his back before unlocking the door so she could leave.

"You're not my type!" He yelled as she walked out of the room.

"You're not my type either, hun!" She shouted with a pitch that could make him hear her from a far distance.Days passed and it was an everyday cycle for Junho to greet Aera in the morning to piss her off.

"Good morning Aera, you look so tired. Your pale skin adds to that. Are you anemic? Do you need hemoglobin?" He utters in the most sarcastic tone.

"Oh would you be my blood supplier? How cute." Sticking her tongue out after she smiles. The thought of blood drove her wild and she could literally imagine herself biting Junho's neck. Not to mention, she has always been annoyed of Junho. The urge to dig her teeth deep in his flesh was running in her mind.

"Anything for you!" Junho choked on his words. He despised her in many ways. Knowing she was a good surgeon, it irked him since he had the sense of competition burning inside him.

Consequently, the hospital organized a team building for the Cardiology and Neurology department in Naksan Beach. It was a bright and sunny day, the ebbing waves were crashing on the shore. All the medical staffs were busy swimming. Aera came in a bit late. She was wearing a white open blouse exposing her red swimsuit. She didn't mind showing a tad of skin since she was in the beach. She decided to sit next to Gayoung, the nurse who gave her Methoracin pills during the surgery.

"Hi Gayoung! I like your blue tank top!" She smiled as she faces her while they sit next to eachother on picnic mat.

"Hello Dr. Aera, you look stunning with your swimsuit. Men would be drooling!" Gayoung complimented her.

"Ah! they won't!" Aera playfully hits her gently.

"Today is a beautiful day in the beach, don't you think?" Gayoung added with a cheerful disposition.

"Yeah I guess we need a tan. By the way, how did you know about the Meth?" Aera was in deep curiosity, cupping her cheeks.

"It's because I'm like you! It's our secret, okay?" Gayoung chuckled.

"You can trust me!" Both vowed to hide eachother's secret by intertwining their pinky fingers together.

The two continued with their endless banter, laughs filled the air until it was interrupted when Junho passed by. Wearing an army green tank top, his arms were uncovered revealing how finely toned his muscles were. His dark hair falling across his tanned skin face. There was an odd lightness when Aera gaped into his eyes.

"Lover girl! Did an angel pass by or was it just me?" He greeted Aera warmly, putting his sunglasses down.

"Gayoung, I'm going for a dip." She whispered before standing up and replying to Junho. Gayoung nodded and waved goodbye.

"You're ridiculous." She intentionally bumped him, walking towards the shore.

"Aera, ICU in my dreams!" He raised his voice as Aera was walking towards the shore, distancing away from him.

"ICU in hell!" Aera suddenly gets grains of sand in her hand and throws it on Junho's face before running to the shore.

"What the hell?!" Bursting profanities as sand gets into his eyes, giving him intense discomfort.Walking barefooted on the gleaming and golden sand, she runs nearer to the shore. She finally dips in the water, immersing half of her body inside. The waves rhythmically clashing were music to her ears. The saltiness of the sea triggered her olfactory organs, giving her a sensational and comforting feeling. Being alone and basking on the water relaxed her.

The other staffs were doing other water activities such as surfing and speed-boat racing. She spent her time alone until she notices a towering figure behind her, his barrel chest nearly pressing her back.

"What are you doing here?" She didn't bother looking at him, she knew it was Junho.

"Oh...I just came here to do this!" He pulls her hair hard from behind, enough to make her scream.

"Ah!" She shrieked, unconsciously elbowing him causing him to trip on the sea floor.

"Ouch." He stands back up, noticing he got a scratch from the rocks under.

"Serves you right!" She moves away, laughing at him hysterically as she sees him in pain.

He goes nearer again, tugging her hair making her screech once more.

"HEY!" Aera screamed, getting irritable towards his actions. The two of them were like kids playing. No one would've thought they're skilled surgeons.

Shifting his attention, Junho commented. "Aera, look at Bae Hyesoo and Kang Youngjin down there." With Junho's sharp eyes, he noticed the couple making out in the waters.

Youngjin held Hyesoo tight, their lips locking incessantly, wanting more of eachother's touch. His hands making his way down to her waist, securing her from the harsh waves.

"Who are they?" Aera tilted her head, eyes fixated on the scene.

"They're both from the Neurology department. Both are surgeons aswell." He pretended to barf, his sight not leaving the couple.

Things became steamier as Hyesoo pulls him closer with her arms wrapped around his shoulders. However she gets interrupted when she notices Aera and Junho staring at them.

Hyesoo, breaking off the kiss with Youngjin, uttered "Uhuh? Why are you watching? You guys should make out too! "

Aera and Junho looked at eachother for a brief second, disgust in their faces.

"I'd rather kiss a clam." Aera replied to the female, leaving Hyesoo and Youngjin shocked at what she said.

"Well I'd rather make out with an ocean plankton!" Junho exasperatingly sighs, giving a pinched expression.
