He's a lover not a fighter… most of the time | Kwon Soonyoung

Synopsis: Seungkwan doesn’t recall ever seeing Soonyoung angry or riled up, that is until you, his significant other, is injured by a patient’s relative.

Seungkwan huffed in annoyance as he lifted yet another box of medical supplies into the Emergency Department’s supply closet. It was a tedious job, one that Soonyoung was supposed to be doing for that week. But no, it was Seungkwan’s turn again this week, though he couldn’t really complain. Soonyoung was merely collecting on a favour Seungkwan owed him after Soonyoung covered his shift the other Sunday so he could go on a date. Seungkwan sighed. He should have seen this task coming, Soonyoung thoroughly disliked being stuck in the supply closet sorting through the medical supplies. 

Speaking of Soonyoung, Seungkwan could hear his laughter all the way from the back of the ED where the supply closet was. Seungkwan peered over the cabinets, looking out of the glass wall and into the ED. From his position, he could see Soonyoung laughing jovially about something as he pushed a patient on a wheelchair out the ED’s main entrance. Seungkwan smiled slightly at the sight. Soonyoung was such a bundle of positive energy, which was just what a place like the ED needed. 

In all his years of knowing Soonyoung, Seungkwan couldn’t remember ever seeing a time when the elder was genuinely angry. Sure, Soonyoung was a handful to handle and really infuriating at times. Like the times when Soonyoung had nothing better to do but to push Seungkwan’s buttons, or the times when Soonyoung would get extremely a little riled up when their friend group was playing the mafia game. Then there was the fact that Soonyoung thought he was a tiger. But other than those times, Soonyoung was a lover not a fighter. 

Indeed, Seventeen Medical Center’s Emergency Department charge nurse, Kwon Soonyoung, was known to be a cheerful, kind, level headed, optimist. Regardless of how swamped with patients they were, how tough their days in the ED were, or how many times the new staff members messed up, Soonyoung was able to look at things positively. His firm but fair and understanding leadership style was one of the key reasons which kept the ED running so efficiently. Even the most senior doctors in the hospital, such as Dr. Jung Kyung Ho, Dr. Jo Jung Suk, Dr. Yoo Yeon Seok, Dr. Jeon Mido, and Dr. Kim Daemyung, respected Soonyoung for his work ethic. 

As Soonyoung waved at the patient, he looked down at his PDA before looking around the ED. When his eyes met Seungkwan’s, he walked over to the supply closet. 

Seungkwan watched Soonyoung walking over to him with a cheeky smile plastered across his face, “Are you here to gloat that you’ve escaped supply duty once again?”

Soonyoung shrugged, “What? It’s not my fault so many people, like yourself, owe me favours.”

“You’re abusing your position of power?”

“Keep that attitude up and I’ll show you what abusing a position of power looks like by putting you on lice duty.” 

Seungkwan rolled his eyes, “So why are you here?”

At Seungkwan’s question, Soonyoung perked up, “Right! I’ll be going to have lunch with Y/n now. I need you to take over the PDA.”

Seungkwan smirked, snatching the PDA out of Soonyoung’s hands, “I get to boss people around? Of course I’ll take over. Now shoo, go have fun with your girlfriend.”

--⌃⌄-💎-⌃⌄–

Where is he? He said he would be here in 5 minutes… 

You scanned the cafeteria once again, hoping to catch a glimpse of your boyfriend. You sighed when you didn’t see him. You puffed your cheeks, mindlessly poking at your food with your fork. 

“Baby tiger!!” 

Hearing Soonyoung’s loud voice, you perked up, smiling when you saw him bounding towards you. Soonyoung slid into the seat you saved for him, leaning forward to peck you on the cheek.

“Is that for me?” Soonyoung asked excitedly, pointing to a container of kimchi fried rice with a large serving of extra radish kimchi on the side.

You grinned, “Funny story actually. I think the cafeteria staff know how much you love their kimchi. Even before I opened my mouth to order, they immediately heaped the side dish full of extra kimchi.”

With his mouth already full of food and his cheeks looking extra chubby, Soonyoung replied almost incomprehensibly, “mm i’rrlll berrr sure to shthank thermhk.”

You giggled. Soonyoung saw himself as a tiger, but at this moment, he really did look like a chubby hamster. You pushed a glass of water towards him, before digging into your own food. 

About halfway through your meal, and just as Soonyoung was going to tell you about his bike ride at the river the previous night, your phone began to ding rapidly. You shared a confused look with Soonyoung as you watched messages from Seungkwan stream in. 

Apologising to Soonyoung, you unlocked your phone, your eyes widened at what you saw.

From Nurse Boo: One of the patients who is supposed to receive a liver tomorrow is in the ED. 

From Nurse Boo: Your case? Patient’s name is Alex.

From Nurse Boo: Jaundice, high fever, possible infection. 

From Nurse Boo: The patient’s brother is here. Wishes to speak to you. 

From Nurse Boo: Now. 

Soonyoung nudged your arms, having read Seungkwan’s messages from beside you. Soonyoung wordlessly closed the cover of both your food containers while you grabbed the used glasses and pushed in your chairs. 

You followed behind Soonyoung towards the Emergency Department. As one of the hospital’s transplant coordinators, you were used to dealing with distraught patients and their loved ones. It came with the territory. But for some reason, something about this case you were about to deal with was unnerving. 

When you arrived there, Seungkwan waved you and Soonyoung over to the nurses station to brief you. 

Seungkwan handed you the patient’s chart, “As you can see, the patient’s fever is almost up to 40 degrees. Dino drew some blood to be sent to the lab for a CBC, CMP, blood cultures, and a liver panel. But we think the patient has some sort of infection. They have end stage liver failure and was supposed to receive a liver transplant tomorrow. Unfortunately, as you know, having that serious of an infection is a contraindication for receiving the liver. We’ll have to wait for the labs. In the meantime, the patient’s brother demanded to speak to the transplant coordinator in charge of the case, which is you.”

You ran your eyes over the chart, sighing deeply. This new infection might definitely cause Alex to miss what might be their only chance to receive a new liver. Speaking to Alex and their brother was definitely going to be tough. It was never easy knowing that you or your loved ones were so close to getting a new lease on life only for it to be snatched away at the last minute due to circumstances you didn’t have control over. 

You took a deep breath, squaring your shoulders. Passing Soonyoung the chart, you approached the patient’s room, rapping the door gently before opening it. 

Stepping into the room, you saw Alex laying on the bed weakly with their brother seated next to him. You addressed both of them, “Alex? Hi, I’m Y/n L/n, the transplant coordinator…”

“I’m Arthur, Alex’s brother. Listen. I asked to speak to you when Alex was admitted two hours ago.” Alex’s brother spoke curtly, cutting you off. 

Although you were annoyed and put off by Arthur’s rude tone, you replied in a level voice, “I apologise you had to wait. However, I was just informed. I understand some tests needed to be done first.”

Arthur rolled his eyes, “Whatever. Look. Just tell us whether Alex can still receive the liver tomorrow?”

“Well, to be completely honest, I am not sure. As I’m sure the doctors have told you, having an infection is a contraindication to receiving the liver. It will be up to the transplant team to ascertain whether Alex’s condition is stable enough for him to receive the liver. We will have to wait and see what the labs say.”

Arthur exhaled deeply, pushing off his chair, making it skid into the wall with a “thud”. You jumped slightly at the harsh sound. 

“I don’t want your excuses. I want a definitive answer,” Arthur demanded. 

Putting on a brave face, you replied as firmly as you could, “I can’t imagine how frustrating this must be. But as I mentioned, it is the transplant team’s decision.”

Arthur cracked his neck, and began to stalk towards you, “Bitch I am done with all these stupid excuses. Do you know how long Alex has waited to get an organ? Three years. Three painful years. I said. I want a definitive answer.”

Instinctively, you took a step back. You knew you should call for security, but you felt frozen in fear, and although you tried to open your mouth no sound would come out. Gulping nervously, you did the only thing your brain could think of. You glanced out the door towards the nurse’s station where Soonyoung was. From his position, he wouldn’t have been able to see Arthur stalking towards you. Luckily for you, it appeared he had heard the sound of the chair hitting the wall, and was already watching the room like a hawk. Your pleading eyes, withdrawn and nervous demanour was enough to make Soonyoung know something was definitely wrong. The file he was working on was immediately abandoned and he began walking briskly towards you. 

Arthur continued to approach you aggressively, completely ignoring Alex’s weak plea to get Arthur to let it go. You shrank back further, inching closer towards the door that you (fortunately) had left open. If you were able to get out of the room and he followed you, Soonyoung and the security guards would be able to handle him.

Arthur chuckled darkly, having noticed you inching closer to the door. He grabbed an empty cup from the table, launching it in your direction harshly, “COME ON YOU STUPID BITCH. ANSWER ME.”

Despite you bringing your hands up to cover your head, you were a millisecond too late. You yelped in pain loudly at the hard impact of the cup as it hit your forehead. 

Your heart thumped wildly in your chest. You hurriedly stepped backwards out the door, but Arthur lunged at you with his fist raised. 

This was it. 

Just as Arthur’s fist was going to hit you, you felt someone pull you backwards, causing Arthur to miss and stumble forward. Turning to see who it was, you heaved a huge sigh of relief to see Seungkwan’s concerned face. He was gazing in your direction, but it was as if he was looking right through you to what was going on behind you. Following the direction of his stare, you saw Soonyoung standing protectively in front of you.

Soonyoung’s normally bright, happy energy had changed completely. Instead, you felt an angry and intimidating, almost menacing energy from him, one that matched Arthur’s. They were eyeing each other, sizing each other up, and neither wanted to back down. You had never seen Soonyoung like this before. You shivered slightly at the sight. Even now in the more open space of the ED’s main central room, the air felt suffocating as tensions continued to rise between Soonyoung and Arthur. 

Finally, Soonyoung spoke, his voice low and strained, as if it was taking everything in him not to yell at Arthur, “Leave. We understand you’re upset and angry at the situation. However, I will not have you acting aggressively and violently in my ED. I especially will not tolerate you injuring one of my staff members.”

Arthur jeered, “Boooooohoooooo, so I lost my temper. The bitch should have just given me a straight answer. Would’ve saved us a whole lot of trouble here.”

You could see Soonyoung’s fists curled into balls tightly. He warned, “Leave. Now. I will call security.”

Arthur scoffed, “I’m not leaving my brother’s side. This never would have happened if the bitch just gave me a straight answer. Real stupid, that one. I don’t know why you keep her around. Though she is a looker, I’ll give you that.”

You averted your eyes, bringing your arms to wrap around yourself. Arthur’s comment was incredibly inappropriate and you felt so uncomfortable. 

As soon as the comment left Arthur’s mouth and Soonyoung sensed your discomfort, all bets were off. How dare this neanderthal hurt you, insult you, and then objectify you. He shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. But to do it to you? Soonyoung’s precious girlfriend? Oh he will pay.

Soonyoung aggressively lunged forward, gripping Arthur’s collar. He seethed, “If you won’t leave. I’ll just have to make you.”

Arthur struggled against Soonyoung’s iron grip,  “Get your hands off me.”

Ignoring Arthur, Soonyoung began dragging Arthur towards the ED entrance. Arthur tried to claw desperately at Soonyoung’s hands, but to no avail. Soonyoung was stronger than he was. Soonyoung disregarded the sting of Arthur’s fingers digging into his flesh. Once he managed to drag Arthur to the automatic doors, he pushed Arthur harshly. Arthur stumbled back, then tried to make one last ditch attempt to take a swing at Soonyoung. Alas, his attempt was futile. The security guards stationed at the entrance grabbed him and began to haul him away to the security office. 

Soonyoung dusted his hands, snubbed his nose at Arthur and walked back into the ED, ignoring the slew of expletives that fell out of Arthur’s mouth. He rubbed his hands absentmindedly. They were sore and would probably bruise later, but he paid it no mind. It was as if he had tunnel vision. His only concern right now was you, and whether you were okay. 

Spotting you with Seungkwan, Soonyoung bounded up to you, wailing, “MY BABY TIGERRRR!!!!!!!”

You had just enough time to brace yourself when Soonyoung crashed into you, wrapping you inside his arms. He pulled back momentarily, his eyes giving you a once over before he spotted the now forming bruise on your forehead. His eyes began to gloss over, his bottom lip quivering, “MY POOR BABY TIGER. WHAT DID THAT MONSTER DO TO YOU. I’M SORRY I SHOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN AS SOON AS I HEARD A CRASH. I SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED YOU. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.”

You blinked, shocked at how Soonyoung’s mood suddenly changed 180 degrees in a blink of an eye. But you pushed that thought away, sniffing a little as the ordeal you just went through began to hit you. You buried your face in Soonyoung’s shoulder, saying weakly, “no it’s okay. I should have called for security faster. It’s not your fault, it’s mine. You got to me just in time.”

Soonyoung held you tighter, shaking his head. You both muttering “no, it’s my fault…” over and over again. 

Seungkwan stood off to the side awkwardly, watching as the two of you continued wailing in each other’s arms. Sighing, he pried the two of you apart, causing you and Soonyoung to look at him with quivering lips and wet, teary eyes. If the situation hadn’t been so scary, Seungkwan would have laughed at how your mannerisms were so similar to each other. 

Holding his tongue, Seungkwan told you and Soonyoung gently, “It’s neither of your faults. It’s that big oaf’s fault. Now, how about you both go to one of the treatment rooms. Apply some ointment on your bruises, get some rest. I’ll speak to Alex, and I can manage the ED for a while longer.”

You and Soonyoung nodded meekly. Still holding each other tightly, you and Soonyoung staggered your way to one of the treatment rooms, bumping into a push cart or table here and there.

Seungkwan watched as you both disappeared behind the room curtain. Letting out a huge breath and a soft “wwoooowww”, Seungkwan fanned himself using his hand to try and get over what he just witnessed.

Although he regularly witnessed patients’ relatives getting aggressive and needing to be escorted out, this was just something else. Seeing Soonyoung so genuinely riled up, furious, and outraged to the point he was physically aggressive, that was new, and a whole experience on its own that Seungkwan needed to process. 

When you were hurt, there was not a trace of the usual Soonyoung left. It was as if Soonyoung was a whole different person. Or perhaps that Soonyoung was always there, and it was that tiger part of Soonyoung he was always talking about. Whatever it was, Seungkwan hoped he would never have to see it again because it was one of the scariest, chilling things he ever had to see. Giving one last glance towards the room you and Soonyoung were in, Seungkwan only had one thought.

Soonyoung’s a lover not a fighter… most of the time. And damn, for how much I annoy him, I have never been more thankful for that.
