Livia:
My heart was pounding as I got ready, and for some reason, I picked the most beautiful black dress from my closet.
Earlier, I’d had a towel wrapped around my hair, but the moment Daniel called, I rushed to get ready.
I quickly blow-dried my hair and applied red lipstick without even understanding why I was putting in so much effort.
The second I stepped out of my room with my lab coat draped over my arm and my laptop bag hanging from my shoulder, my mother immediately noticed.
“What?” I asked, turning toward the mirror to check my reflection again. “Did I mess up my makeup or something?”
That was what I thought she was staring at until she finally spoke.
“Where are you going?” she asked suspiciously. “Are you going on a date? Did my words really affect you that much?”
She started rambling excitedly, and that was when I realized how strange I must have looked.
I turned to her with a cheeky grin.
“No. Remember when I told you about my patient? I just got news about him,” I replied, trying to avoid her gaze.
But my mother continued staring at me with one eyebrow raised.
Of course she was confused.
I was wearing a dress instead of the usual pants and shirt I wore while visiting patients.
“I don’t have time for this. Bye,” I said quickly before she could ask another question.
And I knew she still had plenty of them left.
I avoided my mother’s gaze and hurried out to my car.
Once I got inside and started driving to the lab, I kept questioning what I was doing and why I was acting this way.
It felt a little desperate.
But every time I sat beside him in that room, working on different medicines, I found myself staring at him without even realizing it.
There was something strangely beautiful about him.
“Is he fully awake, or is he still—” I began asking the moment I walked down the hallway and spotted Daniel.
Instead of answering, he slowly looked me up and down.
“What is this?” he asked.
Immediately, I rushed toward the nearest window to check my reflection again.
“What? Do I look bad or something?” I asked anxiously.
Daniel stared at me like he genuinely wanted to ask if I had lost my mind.
“Why are you so dressed up?” he asked softly, giving me a look that practically screamed, I told you that you were doing too much.
“I’m not,” I tried to argue, but then I nodded to myself.
I mean, I was the only person here wearing a fucking dress with red lipstick and my hair down.
“Actually, I was thinking about going on a date,” I admitted awkwardly. “My mother keeps forcing me to meet someone, and then you called, so–” I shrugged.
I mean, who even goes on a date this early in the morning?
“Oh? A date?” Daniel asked, finally shifting his attention away from the stranger. “Who is he?”
I immediately realized I didn’t have an answer.
But I couldn’t stop myself.
He didn’t say anything. He just kept staring at me.
A slight crease appeared on his forehead, like he was trying to sense something, recognize me, or understand what was happening.
“How is he?” I asked the doctor.
The doctor gave me a small nod, letting me know his blood pressure and everything else looked normal.
As he left the room, he quietly shut the door behind him.
Daniel had stepped out to speak with him, leaving me alone with the stranger.
“I’m Livia,” I said before quickly correcting myself. “Researcher Livia.”
I tried to keep a beautiful smile on my lips, hoping to leave some kind of impression on him.
He tilted his head slightly and continued staring at me.
“Who are you? I mean–what’s your name?” I asked softly, waiting to finally hear his voice.
The moment he spoke, my entire body reacted.
“I—I don’t know.”
His voice was deep and husky, so beautiful that for a second, I completely forgot what he had said.
Then reality hit me again, and my eyes snapped back to his face.
“I don’t know what my name is,” he added quietly.
That was when I realized something was seriously wrong.
