My boyfriend, seeking a thrill, convinced me to drink a spiked beverage. But just as the effects kicked in, he was called away by his "moonlight." I was about to protest when scrolling text appeared before my eyes: [That despicable jerk! How could he abandon our girl at a time like this! I'm furious!] [The jerk is going back to the moonlight again! Our girl is so tragic!] [Girl, forget the jerk! Go find Dr. Alex next door! He's crazy about you!] [Don't hesitate! Dr. Alex is your antidote!] I couldn't think straight. I struggled against the agony and stumbled, knocking on the neighbor's door. "Dr. Alex, help me..." 1 After taking the call, Leo Black pulled his halfway-off pants back on. "I have to go out. You figure yourself out." The drugs were already taking effect. I was stunned. "You're leaving now? What about me?" Leo's face instantly darkened at my protest. "Chloe, you're an adult. Can't you handle yourself?" Seriously? He drugged me and now expected me to handle myself? Before I could plead with him, his voice became impatient. "Enough! Tiffany is sick. Can you stop causing drama at a time like this?" The pleading words died in my throat. I watched, desperate and burning, as he walked away. The moment the door slammed shut, scrolling comments flashed across my vision: [How could the jerk abandon our girl now? This is too much!] [This is the eighth time Tiffany has been "sick" this month! Every single time, the jerk leaves our girl for her! No wonder she's a tragic heroine—this is awful!] [I can't watch! Someone save our girl!] [Girl, forget the jerk! Go find Dr. Alex next door! He's your antidote!] [Yes! Hurry next door! Dr. Alex is tall and hot—way better than that jerk!] My mind spun, trying to process the comments. Dr. Alex? The same Dr. Alex Lynn who always wore a cold expression and seemed utterly untouchable? The drugs made my body uncontrollably hot. I couldn't care less about the comments anymore. I stumbled out, fighting the agony, and knocked desperately on the neighbor's door. 2 I knocked a few times, but no one answered. I must be hallucinating. Just as I was about to leave, I heard a door open behind me. A voice called out, "Chloe?" I turned and met Dr. Alex Lynn's dark, deep eyes. He must have just showered. He was shirtless, his lower body wrapped in a white towel. I couldn't help but notice. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, eight-pack abs... Water droplets clung to his taut muscles. For my current state, the sight was pure fuel. My heart raced, and my chest heaved with every accelerating breath. A cool voice broke the silence. "Is the view satisfactory?" I subconsciously looked up. Even against the light, I could clearly see his prominent brow bone, high nose, and slightly upturned lips. Why had I never noticed before? Alex's face was like an anime heartthrob brought to life! Mesmerized by his beauty, I blurted out: "Very satisfactory..." The moment I spoke, he visibly froze. His expression instantly looked uncomfortable. The comments exploded. [OMG! Our girl is so blunt! I love it!] [What am I seeing? The ice prince is blushing!] [Blushing is an understatement! Our girl says he's hot, and he's... that's ridiculous!] I instinctively glanced down, unable to help my observation. ...It was, indeed, ridiculous. The comments continued: [Save me, he's wearing only a towel, and he's... I can't imagine...] [Hahaha, Dr. Alex is absolutely smitten!] [I'm so nervous! Is the plot I've been waiting for finally happening?!] [I order you two: now, immediately, get to it!] 3 I felt like a waterlogged sponge, melting into Alex's embrace. "Dr. Alex, I feel awful..." "Can you kiss me?" His figure stiffened at my request. [Who understands this? Our girl's voice is soft and tearful. It's melting my heart!] [Forget you, Dr. Alex is about to lose his mind! Hahaha.] [I get it. He's been crushing on her for three years. He must be going crazy.] [Exactly! Every time he saw her with that jerk, his heart must have been breaking.] The comments stunned me. He liked me for three years? I had no idea! But there was no time to think. A sudden, strong force pulled me inside his apartment. The door slammed shut behind me. A tall figure blocked the light. He looked down at me. His long, elegant fingers grazed my cheek, tilting my chin up with warm breath. His voice, however, remained cool. "Explain... what did you mean?" I was forced to look up. Seeing his face so close made me too flustered to speak. But he wasn't letting up. His intoxicating face leaned closer to mine. "Tell me clearly..." "Where does it hurt?" 4 His question made my face flush. I didn't know how to answer, but the agony was overwhelming. I finally grabbed his long, defined hands. [OMG! Is this legal? Our girl is so bold!] [Who can resist this? Next step, a physical exam? So exciting!] [I can't handle this! My composure is gone!!!] Alex's breath hitched at the touch. He froze, his face turning bright red. I seized the opportunity, wrapping my arms around his neck. I stood on my toes and kissed him. The moment our lips met, he completely surrendered. I don't know how long we kissed. I found myself on a soft bed. I watched his muscular body lean over me, casting a shadow that enveloped me in the dim light. "Chloe, how do you want me to help you?" Before I could answer, his nose grazed my neck and shoulder. A tingling sensation spread from my earlobe through my entire body. I trembled. But then, my phone rang—totally inappropriate timing. Overwhelmed by lust, I fumbled and hung up. But another call immediately came through. Alex stopped, looking toward the phone. "I'm sorry, I'll turn it off right now." I moved to grab my phone. But his hand pressed down on my wrist. "Maybe... let's just stop." 5 "Stop? Why?" Did my phone bother him? Is that why he's mad? I looked at his tightly furrowed brows. I had a terrible thought. Is it because... he can't perform? My eyes instinctively dropped. [Hahaha, what is our girl looking at? Is she doubting Dr. Alex's skills?] [She hasn't realized yet, has she? Dr. Alex is just jealous.] [I'm so mad! That deadbeat jerk had to call now and ruin everything! How can I watch the plot now?] I finally realized the issue. Just as I was about to explain, he spoke first. "Chloe, I don't want to be the side guy..." "Can you accept that?" His last three words were barely audible. [That's weird. Didn't Dr. Alex wish on a photo of her two days ago that he'd be her side piece or even her side-side piece if she just gave him a chance?] [I can confirm! He promised he'd sacrifice everything for love! Now he wants respect? How calculating!] [Wait, why is that calculating? Dr. Alex guarded her for three years! He deserves respect!] [I agree. That jerk abandoned her on Valentine's Day, and she was followed by creeps until Dr. Alex saved her! He's done so much for her!] I opened my phone right in front of him. Ignoring the endless missed calls from Leo, I pulled up the breakup text I'd drafted but never sent. I hit send. Then I blocked, deleted, and powered down the phone. Seeing this, Alex looked like a stray dog finally finding its home. I leaned in and kissed his lips. "Dr. Alex, are we good now?"
