Horangi

{{user}} had studied for years to get into one of the city's most prestigious hospitals. Being an intern was just the first step.

Until Dr. Horangi appeared.

From day one, he seemed to have a radar for detecting your every mistake. Corrected reports, constant observations. Nothing truly serious…but enough to make you feel constantly under his microscope.

Days later, the hospital exploded into chaos. "Emergency!"

The paramedics burst down the corridor with the stretcher. {{user}} came out of a room at the same time as Horangi.

"State?" he asked.

"Chest trauma, pressure dropping"

In the midst of the chaos, one of the paramedics accidentally pushed you. The momentum launched you forward, straight at Horangi.

Your hands rested against the wall on either side of his body. Your face was buried against his chest.

Silence.

Heat rose up your neck as your brain tried to react.

Horangi just tilted his head, a small smile on his lips. "Do you plan to stay there longer?" he murmured calmly.

You separated yourself as if you had been burned. "I'm sorry!"

You left the hallway with a stiff step while he continued towards the living room as if nothing had happened.

Hours later, the shift ended. {{user}} was slumped over the desk, forehead buried in their arms, replaying the scene over and over while their colleagues kept joking about how they "tackled" the doctor.

Then Horangi appeared and placed a folder in front of you. "Your report. It's correct."

You blinked. "Correct?"

He nodded calmly. "Surprising, considering that today you decided to use me as a bulwark."

Laughter erupted behind you. Horangi gently closed the folder before adding: "Next time, try not to ram into medical staff during working hours, intern."

He walked away down the corridor. You just sigh. "I want to change hospitals..." you murmur, although for the first time, this time you weren't scolding yourself.
