SYNOPSIS.Working as a pediatric nurse in a busy hospital has both its pros and cons. Some of the pros include: working with children, saving lives, and working alongside the extremely charming and surprisingly single Dr. Jeong Jaehyun. Some of the cons include: not having enough time to date, getting baby fever while being undeniably single, developing a crush on a co-worker, and being called into work on the one holiday you were granted off. Your dreams of ringing in the new year at a lavish party with a boy to kiss were ruined by the night shift but at least you had Dr. Jeong to keep you company when the clock strikes twelve.

gela says:inspired by this tiktok and before anyone comes at me, i am aware jh wrote the song for a specific reason and is very personal to him. i don’t mean any harm/disrespect to him and his work.
His eyes were lost in the crowd as he sang his self-composed song. He was looking for someone, the person whom he dedicates the lyrics he wrote. He poured his heart and emotions into writing this; the feeling of being lost, lonesome, emptiness and longing for someone, all combined in one song. He wanted to comfort someone, at the same time, he wanted to comfort himself. He wanted to release all the pain he was feeling.
Then his eyes met yours. It was almost as if he was talking to you using the lyrics of his song, communicating through eye contact. He held the microphone tightly in his hands, sending a message using his eyes and his actions, his gaze not leaving yours.
He was begging.
He was begging for you to stay.
“We have an expiration date, don’t we?” You remember him asking, the night before his concert. You couldn’t help but nod your head in agreement. “I’m sorry that we had to end things this way.”
“Don’t be sorry, Jae.” You said, “We tried… it’s just— it’s not for us. This is not for us.”
Even by the time his song had ended, his eyes never left yours. He just wished you wouldn’t leave as well.
