Don't XXX someone else's husband! (Munechika Takado x MC)(Scenario)

Author's note: Sometimes, Romance MD has a peculiar humor. So, I had to think a lot about a case as strange as the canon one. (For those who don't know what Lys and I are talking about, this is based on "Don't XXX another man", which is a special story for Kasumi.) I hope you're expectations will be met. And @lys-lilac, thank you a lot for this request. Enjoy!

Summary: Takado was sarcastic and MC was a weirdo. But this qualities has never stopped them from being one of the best couples in the entire hospital. Until it did and Takado Munechika had to encounter his biggest fear - The Overlord himself.

Words counting: 2305

"Are you married?" MC heard a high-pitched voice from the room that her husband was keeping his lessons. A smile appeared on her face as she walked through the university. She had to meet a doctor who was also a professor there and taught his course at the same time as Takado Munechika, MD, Ph.D., Orthopedics Professor. MC knew the university well enough. She studied there for six long years. However, a wave of warmth hit her when she walked past her husband's class. Unconsciously, MC slowed down her pace to hear Takado answering the question about his marital status. 

"No."

MC stopped in her tracks. She could see the handsome features of her husband through the door, yet she was too afraid to stay for too long and admire him. What if she saw the face of the girl who asked him the question and understood how beautiful she was, gorgeous enough to make her loyal husband lie about his relationship? When the phone in her hand vibrated, Mrs. Takado knew she had to run towards the meeting. Yet, her mind was somewhere else, not even in the halls or in front of Takado's class. Otherwise, she would have heard the completion of the answer. 

Takado Munechika, MD, Ph.D., Orthopedics Professor, tried his best not to roll his eyes at the questions his students gave him, as if most of them weren't in their mid-20s and a step away from being residents. He didn't want to be the one to say that the new generation didn't have any manners, yet here he was, thinking the same thing. It wasn't their problem if he was single, married, lived with his mother, or in the hospital. Takado could remember his school and university years when he had no idea what most of his professors did outside their lessons. Of course, he had his share of over-share professors, and some of them were married to the most mysterious ones, this being the reason why the students knew about their relationship status. But it didn't mean that all the kids in front of him had to know a thing about him. 

Deep in his thoughts, the professor returned to being a doctor and entered the EICU headquarters. Or this was the plan, till he opened the door and heard: 

"Can I kiss you?" coming from his boss. Not wanting to deal with any public display of affection from the Overlord who just returned from his honeymoon, he closed the door to take a walk. However, his plans were once again destroyed when he recognized the voice of the person who answered the question. It was a wife, but not Kasumi's. It was HIS wife, Takado MC, MD. And she answered affirmatively. 

A million questions ran through Takado's mind. But his actions were faster. He opened the door and looked at the couple in front of him. As if nothing happened between them, MC and Kasumi looked at him. As usual, it was hard to read Kasumi, yet on MC's face was a scowl. Before he could say a word, the other Dr. Takado left her place and walked past him, giving him a displeased look as if he was the one to blame. 

Instead of explaining the situation, Kasumi returned to work. Takado didn't know what to do: take his boss by the collar while his scary dog was somewhere in the same building, go after Mrs. Takado for explanations, or find Mrs. Kasumi for revenge together. Before he could find an answer, a nurse called Dr. Takado Munechika, Orthopedic Surgeon, to see a kid who fell from the slide and broke her ulnar and radial bones in two different places. A two-hour operation with probably an hour of preparing and half of his day was gone. Mrs. Takado and Kasumi would have to wait a little. 

When Takado returned, he saw the other man in his relationship kiss his wife, as if he wasn't trying to seduce MC a few hours earlier. For everyone else, the newlyweds looked like newlyweds. But Takado couldn't help but search for the trash so that his disgust could go directly to its place. Kyogoku rolled his eyes at the public display of affection shown by the recently returned from the honeymoon couple. But he got even more irritated when he saw Takado faking a gag.

"Don't act as if you were different a few months ago."

"Not a few months, but already more than a year. And yes, I was different."

All the doctors in the room looked at Takado. No, the Takado family wasn't different. They also thought that none of them saw them when not-so-secretly kissed or touched each other. Toshiki was more public, but not with much. So, Takado-the-pot just called Kasumi-the-kettle black. 

"You have no shame, do you?"

Everyone looked from Takado to Kasumi after the orthopedist's words. He was lucky that it was hard to understand if he talked about Kyogoku or Kasumi. But it was bold, coming from someone who tried his best not to cross paths with the boss.

However, MC wasn't as lucky as Kasumi. The moment she entered the room after her shift, she understood that she didn't have her keys. The only option was to ask her husband to give her his keys. So, reluctantly, she stepped in front of the man who gave her his surname a year ago and put her hand in front of him.

"Give me your keys," she said barely audible.

Out of habit, Munechika stood up and took a few steps towards the locker room but stopped midway.

"Why don't you ask your other man to give you his keys?" he hissed silently enough only for MC to hear. 

Mrs. Takado raised her brow at her husband and pushed him away. It was he who seduced young and beautiful med students, not her. If he didn't give the keys, she would take them herself. 

As if mocking her, the photos that Takado had in his locker of them fell on the ground. At least it wasn't his wedding band. 

"Do his students know that he has photos of me everywhere?" MC thought. Maybe he had to put her as his background on every device he owned. She didn't know that she was his background on all his devices except the ones for work. She also didn't know that his students saw her on his backgrounds, and lock screens, that they melted a little at first, then mocked him for being a simp. But there was no way Takado would tell her this. 

After MC's leaving, Takado's rage got concentrated on Kasumi. For hours, all the other doctors thought that the Overlord was overturned due to how intensely the orthopedist looked at the cardiologist. The only person who seemed not to notice this was Kasumi himself. Even his new wife understood it wasn't the time to cross Takado's path. So, when Takado got called into Kasumi's office, the cardiologist calmly ate MC's bento that got recognized by her husband in the same instant. Noticing his colleague's line of sight, the boss explained:

"Your wife said she didn't have enough appetite today and left her food for me because I am on call today."

"Are you mocking me because you can have every woman in this world while I had to be on the verge of dying to get a few years of happiness?" Takado snapped. 

Kasumi looked at his friend, colleague, and the source of his forming headache. All the words like: "You're enough, I promise, you're enough. Don't think so lowly of yourself. You are loved," dissipated and made enough space for the supreme: "The door is behind you. Come back when you get your brains and manners back."

Takado slammed the door to his boss' office. Kasumi took a deep breath and held it for a second, just to morph it into the loudest and deepest reproach he was capable of: "Manners, please."

The orthopedist rolled his eyes, opened the door again without looking at Kasumi, and closed it silently. However, he couldn't stop himself from giving it a knock with his elbow. Unfortunately, Takado was too old to be a rebel, and he stopped before breaking a bone. So, he decided to continue reading his patients' medical carts. Before he could finish, a dark figure covered his lights.

"I told you to go study manners, not this. You're not in the state to think reasonably today. So, bye-bye," Kasumi said while trying to get the folders from Takado's hands. For a second, Takado thought about suddenly letting go of them. Seeing Kasumi falling on his butt was a revenge good enough. Yet, he still had a wife at home, even if they weren't on good terms. Takado wasn't sure that MC had enough money to arrange his funerals. So, he tried his best to mask his range. 99% of it got under control. But that 1% made Takado's hand clench forcefully on Kasumi's shoulder before leaving the room. After the grip, Kasumi, who clenched his teeth out of pain, tried to find ways to explain to his wife why he would come back with a giant bruise on his shoulder. 

At home, Takado found his wife on the couch. At first, he didn't think too much about it. However, when he entered their shared bedroom and saw no sheets and pillows on the bed, he returned to her.

"Do you want a divorce? It's not even a year after their wedding..."

MC looked at her husband in shock. At first, a ping of guilt reverberated through her ribcage, but after his last sentence, she couldn't think of anything better than to throw a pillow at her soon-to-be ex-husband. 

"You don't even know when is our anniversary and that we celebrated our first year as a family a few weeks ago?"

Takado didn't bother to catch the pillow. Instead, he looked in disbelief at his wife. Something didn't make sense. A deja vu hit him, and he remembered how Kasumi was sure his girlfriend cheated on him with Takado. What if it was the same case and a misunderstanding occurred?

"What are you talking about? Are you even listening to what I am saying?" Takado Munechika, MD, Ph.D., Orthopedics Professor, known as MC's husband, mumbled. MC's face changed from an annoyed look to a quivering lip and teary eyes. The man fell on his knees and cupped his wife's cheeks. 

"Are you ashamed that I am your wife?"

Takado tilted his head and wiped a fat tear from MC's cheek. She closed her eyes, and the sunset orange hues got lost in her little liquid diamonds.

"What makes you say this?" Munechika asked after pressing his forehead against hers. MC tried to suppress a sob but failed and shook herself and her husband. Her fingers caught Takado's wrists and made him press his hands harder against her face. 

"I heard one of your students asking if you are married, and you said no."

This sentence marked the fall of MC's dam. She started to sob hard. Before answering, Munechika pulled MC into a tight embrace, and her head found its place against his chest. His lips kissed the crown of her head till MC calmed enough to hear his answer.

"If you listened a little longer, you would have heard my entire answer."

At this, MC pushed her husband enough to get a better look at his face and frowned. What else could he say to make the situation better? It wasn't as if "No" needed any completion. Plus, it sounded like a standalone answer. And even with another sentence, it didn't make any sense.

"No, that's why I wear a wedding band on my ring finger and call the other Dr. Takado my wife. Of course, I am married."

Okay, it made sense. It was something Takado could say. How could MC forget that her husband was sarcastic? Plus, he wore his wedding band all the time, except for the surgeries. 

MC let the last tears in her eyes fall on Takado's thumbs and smiled. The smile morphed into a hearty smile, and she hugged Munechika harder than ever. For a while, the husband patted his wife on the back.

"But even if I did say no, it didn't give you the right to kiss Kasumi."

MC tilted her head against Munechika's chest. When did she kiss Kasumi? She didn't even kiss Mrs. Kasumi, not to mention the Overlord. Whispering against her ear, Takado gave MC the explanations she needed.

"I heard Kasumi asking if it was okay to kiss you, and you said yes."

Searching through the history of all the words said to her in the past hours, MC finally understood what her husband talked about. 

"I was trying to make a point back then."

"By saying yes to his questions?"

"No, by asking him to ask me this and giving the answer that implied that I am not happy with you."

"Why?"

"Because he was smart enough to understand that it was a misunderstanding that you said you weren't married. And I brought up an example. I said: If he asked me to kiss me and I said yes, and you coincidentally overheard this, you would think of the worst-case scenario, as I thought when I heard you denying your marriage."

Takado tried to repeat all the words MC said and found a sense in them. It took him more than he wanted to admit. However, it wasn't his fault. MC's way of thinking was too strange for simple humans. 

"Mission completed unsuccessfully, I think."

MC nodded and hugged her husband again. At least she wouldn't have to spend her night on the sofa instead of sniffing Takado all night.

Night: EICU HQ

It was just a normal, and hectic day for both of you. Surgeries, post operative care, out patients, meetings, and paperworks. Even though the rigorous hours in hospital were fulfilling for you, in the recent 2 years, you had been looking forward to something else every single day. That handsome face, that alluring voice, that unwavering gaze, that softness of his hand and his warmth. When you joined the hospital, you had already made up your mind not to make any more new relationships. You knew how difficult it was maintain each one, trust someone that much and the subsequent pain of them receding away farther and farther from your reach. The feeling of being unwanted, unwelcome had scarred your heart so deep that it was beyond healing. Even though everyone praised you for being a brilliant student, you couldn't help but feel pathetic often, crying over a patient's death when you were alone even though it was supposed to be your job, wanting to spend time with friends, when in reality you couldn't make one. Maybe they found you boring for being a nerd? But, you still would try to focus on the positive side of your life, your supportive parents, Asuka, who had been your emotional support. You thought earlier, you shouldn't wish for more. You should be content with this much. Little did you know, you subconsciously wanted to hold to a hand that wanted to help you, and be loved. There he was. Waiting for you, accepting all your sides with open arms, with that gentle gaze. He said it was you who saved him, but in reality, it was him who saved you from drowning in self doubt, remorse and guilt. Sometimes it even made you think whether you are dreaming, and the harsh reality will return back soon.

"MC?"

The familiar voice breaks your train of thoughts and you can't help but smile. After all, it is your day off tomorrow together.

"Dr. Kasumi."

Seeing you in a good mood, he ruffles your hair.

"Did anything good happen today? Share with me when we reach home."

"It's nothing. I am just happy to see you after a loooong day!"

With that gentle smile not leaving his lips, he casually slips your bag on his shoulders, and takes your hand in the other. Even though it has become a daily routine, you still feel all your tiredness wash away with his simple gesture.

"Good night everyone."

"Oh how I could kill to be in your place..."

Dr. Kyogoku mumbles while typing a patient record.

"I owe you one, oh dear Chairman bodyguard!"

"MC, the new stock you promised."

Dr Ekuni's voice comes lazily from the office couch.

"Got it. 5 flavors of jelly, and the curry ramen. But it goes to our joint snack account!"

"Yes ma'am, very grateful."

You can't tell if he is drowsy or just enjoying the moment of peace with that relieved expression of his.

"Enjoy your day off together. And please get some sleep, you two zombies."

Dr. Hosho chuckles as he places a cup of coffee on his desk.

"Who are you calling a zombie? Isn't a prince surviving on coffee more zombie like?"

"Just admit you suck at joking Dr. Kasumi. Your words and that chilling gaze are 180° to each other."

Dr. Takado replies looking at his cooking ramen.

Even though Kasumi tries to joke, all HQ members have long known it will fail mostly. But knowing him, he won't mind either way, even though he pouts slightly. Then we proceed home.

Night: Kasumi's Apartment

"Should we watch this?"

"Your choice, I am fine with your picks."

Kasumi replies as he places two cups of hot chocolate on the table.

For a change of pace, you have decided to watch a movie together. Yes, visiting places on dates is really fun, but just enjoying each other's company at home is sometimes more of what you crave.

As you tap the start button, you drape a blanket over both of you.

"Should I raise the temperature of air-con a little more?"

Thinking you are cold, he pulls you closer to him.

"What if I say I just wanted to be cozy?"

"Should we postpone the movie for tomorrow and do something else tonight then?"

"You- we should continue the movie purr-ty please..."

"Pfft, got it."

Silently burying your face on his chest to hide your red cheeks, you get amazed by the common fact that all this time you have spent together, you still can't understand how he is so smooth with his words. But at least he seems happy, so it's worth it.

The movie is about the nemesis of a famous detective, but from his point of view. Why he committed crimes, what was his view of an ideal world and upto what extent he could sacrifice to reach his goal. You have been a fan of the manga series, so were over the moon when the movie was announced. And now you got the chance to watch it! As for Kasumi, he showed interest in the manga when you shared it with him, and now he enjoyed it as well.

As the movie is about halfway, your eyes start to get heavy. The protagonist is standing in a field full of white lillies, and while gazing at the blue sky, mumbles to himself that if the detective and him can be born again, it would be lucky if they can be true friends that time and not enemies.

Maybe it's the work fatigue, or the serene scenery of the movie, or perhaps the comfort of being with Kasumi, that you decide to spill the thoughts you had in the hospital earlier.

"Kasumi?"

"Mm? Are you sleepy?"

"A little. But I want to share with you why I was actually smiling earlier in the HQ. Be patient until I finish my words okay?"

"Alright."

Leaning on his shoulder, you close your eyes to put the right words on your thoughts and to convey it to him clearly.

"You know, back when I was in med school, I felt pathetic and disgusted by myself often. Even though everyone encouraged me saying I will become a good doctor in the future, in that process, they subsequently killed my heart by indirectly implying that I shouldn't expect happiness in the process. I also wanted to visit places with friends, grab dinner with them and just have a good time sometimes. But that had become impossible for someone like me. Of course, Asuka became my sole Anam Cara* later, but those lingering feelings would never go."

"..."

You knew he would listen to you and wouldn't interrupt, so fighting your drowsiness, you continue.

"I do believe in miracles. But I never thought I would be blessed with such a great miracle, that is, meeting you. My first impression of you was that of a disciplined and top surgeon, someone I should admire and aspire to be. I used to see your care for your patients. That's when I thought, what a gentle heart he has. I hope may he stay happy. When you saved me from that speeding truck, what I was more shocked at rather than the accident was the fact that why did you save me? Your care and love that is like a vast expanse of the sky, soothing to watch at, but at the same time was so far from me, could I perhaps reach it? I was conflicted by own feelings. I was scared that I would hurt you, or maybe would hurt myself if I came to know you already had a significant other. That's why I still feel like dreaming that such a kind person accepted someone like me."

"MC..."

You could feel his bangs softly caressing you, that result in making you feel even more sleepy.

"So if I say I want to be with you, is that okay? If I say let's get married, and grow old together.... is... that... o-okay..."

As you are almost about to express your innermost feelings, sleep takes over you.

"Not even waiting for me to reply? My cute MC, you again suceeded in stealing my heart for the umpteenth time. As for the answer--"

He turns off the TV, lifts you up to take you to the bedroom and carefully whispers midway so as to not wake you up...

"The answer's always been yes."

💕Kasumi Birthday Mini-Story💕

Happy (Belated) Birthday Kasumi! 

Since Kasumi won second place in the 100恋+ election, Voltage wrote a mini story in celebration of his birthday! It was released on his birthday, January 29th, but I wasn't able to get it translated right away. It was a little rushed, so I'll be making small edits here and there as time goes on.

(They also released a birthday book, which I hope to also translate and post eventually, but there's a lot of text so it might be a while.)

Anyways, please enjoy! Feel free to comment and my messages are always open! (Reblogs are also appreciated!)

*[my comments will be in brackets and italicized like this]

Staff: We can also add a name on the cake plate. Would you like to do that?

MC: A name…

It’s January 29th.

I’m standing in front of the counter at Maizu’s Chocolate Decorations deliberating over an important decision I’ve just been given.

(Well, I do definitely want to add a name after the 'Happy Birthday'…)

MC: …maybe 'Dark Emperor'?

Staff: What?

MC: Never mind, ignore that.

(Since this present is supposed to be personal, just 'Kasumi' would probably be better than putting 'Dr. Kasumi'.)

(Or maybe I should just go with a simple 'Toshiki'?)

(It might be a bit too forward of me to be using his first name…but it’s for his birthday…! Please forgive me!)

MC: Please write 'Toshiki'! Thank you!

I took the day off so that I could focus on the birthday preparations, so now all I have left to do is to wait for Kasumi to get home.

MC: Ha…

(Ah, my phone…)

I check my phone to see that I got a message from Kyogoku.

Kyogoku (via text): I’m going to celebrate Kasumi’s birthday with everyone at Pen, but I won’t be coming home

Kyogoku (via text): So, if you burn Kasumi's curry, I won’t forgive you.

MC (via text): You should still come home! And, I'll have you know, the curry was completed successfully and not burnt!

MC: Although, if it’s Dr. Kyogoku, he really might not come back home to Kasumi…

(I’ll just send a quick message to Kasumi.)

MC (via text): I’m in your room and the preparations for the celebration are complete!

MC (via text): But please have fun at Pen tonight!

As long as there’s no emergencies and his patients don't have any sudden changes in condition, he should be coming back. But all I can really do is hope.

MC: Ahh, the living room has such a good view of the sky. 

The Venus belt was about to fall in the eastern sky.

(Do Mitsuharu and Kasumi’s mother come every year for Kasumi’s birthday?)

(I wonder if Kasumi is watching too…)

(He’s a busy person, so I don’t know if he'll be able to, but I hope they’ll wait for him as long as possible before disappearing into the sky again...)

(Now, until Kasumi gets home I think I’ll review the operation video.)

(I didn’t know where to enter blood vessels in the case of devascularization, so I should look over it again.)

[I'm honestly not sure what this even means in English, let alone the Japanese...]

The operations in cardiovascular surgery are pretty complicated, but it’s fun to learn about them.

MC: I hope one day I can produce results worthy of Kasumi's praise…

Kasumi: You seem to be enjoying yourself

MC: ?!

Suddenly hearing a voice, I quickly raise my head.

Kasumi: I’m home.

MC: A-aren’t you here early?

MC: I figured you wouldn’t be home from Pen until 10 at the earliest?

Kasumi: When you send me a message like that, it makes me want to come home early.

Kasumi: I just had a toast with everyone and then left

MC: B-but it's your birthday, you're the whole reason they’re celebrating…

Kasumi: And because I’m the person they’re celebrating, they’ll forgive me for today.

MC: I see...

MC: Haha, so, in other words, you wanted to eat the curry I made, right? 

Kasumi: Yep.

(“Yep.” he says!! ahhhhh, so precious!!)

MC: I’ll start laying it out right away!

Kasumi takes off his jacket and I, not wanting to keep him waiting, immediately head towards the kitchen.

Kasumi: Hm…well, the food certainly shows personality.

He laughs at the sizes of the ingredients.

(Yeah, I thought it looked like a mess.)

But even so, Kasumi eats the curry I made and makes it look tastier than usual. 

MC: Well, you see, I can cut but…I just don’t know how to cook.

Kasumi: You’re good at being adaptable and efficient at work, so you should be able to become good at cooking, yeah?

[note: the original line here is actually “仕事ができる人間は段取りを組むのが上手いから、料理上手にもなれる” which is a saying in Japanese flipped. It doesn’t sound as smooth in English, but I didn’t really want to spend forever trying to find an equivalent saying. I might come back and change it to something better in the future.]

MC: I see…Well I’ll try my best...

Kasumi: More importantly…

Kasumi has been stealing quick glances at the cake for a while now, but can’t seem to look directly at it.

MC: Hehe, I had them write “Toshiki” on the plate to show my gratitude

Kasumi: …

(Aww, I get to see him look bashful for his birthday…)

He would get angry if I seem to happy, so I try to act calm as I light the candles.

MC: Oh, I also had wanted to sing you happy birthday here 

MC: but Takado and Kyogoku were very adamant about stopping me. Sorry.

Kasumi: Your humming always has had a certain taste to it

MC: ...taste…?

Kasumi: So, does that mean I'll be blowing out the candles without you singing, then?

MC: No!

MC: Well, actually, it didn’t think I’d get a chance to sing, so…I wrote you a letter instead.

 Kasumi: …

Even in the dark I can see the surprise on his face.

MC: Ahem…Dear Kasumi, happy birthday.

MC: It makes me extremely happy that I can spend this precious day with you.

MC: I know that no matter how harsh you may be towards me sometimes, there’s always a lot of love and care behind it.

MC: Thank you always.

MC: …thank you for being born.

Kasumi: …

MC: …Kasumi?

Kasumi: I’m not crying

(In other words, he’s crying.)

He quickly blows out the candles so I can’t see what expression he’s making.

Kasumi: …you’re not allowed to turn the lights back on in this room right now.

MC: Not a problem. Instead, can I just call you by your first name?

Kasumi: No.

MC: Toshiki.

Kasumi: …

I hear him sigh deeply next to me.

I put the letter back in the envelope into the gift that I prepared.

I suddenly feel his arms around my shoulders and the next moment I’m pressed up against his chest.

MC: …you don’t have to worry,  I can’t see your face because it’s dark, right?

Kasumi: Saying that isn’t going to get you out of this.

MC: wha…?

Kasumi: …I’m happy.

MC: I’m also happy.

MC: Mitsuharu and the others came today. Did you get to see them?

Kasumi: Ah…

He surely must’ve received a lot of congratulations today. That makes me happy.

Kasumi’s attention is solely locked onto me and he moves me so that I'm sitting in between his knees.

When he goes to hug me again, his hand suddenly touches something.

Kasumi: Hm?

MC: Oh, that…it’s your present.

Kasumi: …

I’ve been knitting in between working on my suture exercises to make gloves for today.

Kasumi takes the gloves out of the bag in the dark and immediately tries them on.

MC: It's fine if make the room a little brighter now so you can see your gift, right?

Kasumi: …still not allowed.

MC: It’s nice to see that you can be a little awkward sometimes, too…

Kasumi: …

The gloves are soft against my cheeks as he gently presses his lips to mine.

I felt a little bad that the celebration was so small, but the intensity of his kiss shows me that I was worrying over nothing.

MC: Hehe, Toshiki...

Kasumi: Remember, if you try to turn on the light right now, you better be prepared for me to take revenge.

MC: Let’s just spend your birthday peacefully, shall we?

Kasumi: As long as you’re here, that’s fine with me.

I feel his soft voice tickling my ear suddenly and stiffen up at first, but then can’t help but break out into a grin.

I throw my arms around him in a tight hug, wanting to stay how we are for just a little bit longer.

The End

[I don't usually put so many screenshots in these, but I couldn't help it...his expressions are just too freaking cute!! I had to pause every few lines to squee at how adorable this man is, I love him]

Dr. Santa: Matsunaga & Kyogoku

Kyogoku and MC have arguably the most “normal” boyfriend and girlfriend relationship in RMD. They’re so sweet towards each other without being overbearing and I feel like MC’s antics are toned down compared to Takado and Hosho’s MC.

I’m ngl I rly liked matsunagas story but at the same time u rly shouldn’t be going around asking ur boss out, I feel like this is some hr shit lol

lmao i have some Issues with matsunaga’s story (mostly love choice problems as always) but also bc something that i realised about rmd is that they always have to stuff in TWO big issues per route even though personally i think they should focus on one and keep it tighter (except hosho’s route EXCEPT for that one weird bit with the nurses getting jealous... that bit was so unnecessary but luckily was just a blip in an otherwise better and more focussed route)

but also i totally agree. the power dynamics yikes. hr should get involved for biased and corrupt hiring practices?? the fact that he - 

(spoilers)

- kept kino in dr mc and kasumi’s care bc he was like “i want you to deal with a rare case” BRO. that’s called favouritism!!! (also let’s not pretend that it had to be this way for the mpd to keep tabs on him, as if they couldn’t keep an eye on him in literally any other capacity) 

also idk i feel like i’m the only one who’s like ????????? at matsunaga’s route at the literal complete lack of romance a;lskjfdlsdk he literally turns her down and i swear even by epi 2 they’re not actually together lmao ROMANCE md??? more like colleagues md: always only friends. like why is she in a weird semi-parental one sided crush place with not just her boss, but her BOSS’S BOSS’S BOSS. literally her boss is takado whose boss is kasumi WHOSE BOSS IS MATSUNAGA S;LDFKJSK maybe i should ask out the vice chancellor of my university wish me luck

Hey! The list of experiences you have had during your 3 years of med school are things that others wouldn't even think about occurring, and so the fact that you would be willing to delve into those topics through your writing, I think is really cool and I'm excited to see what you will write!

Could I request the third one on your list, about the sexual harassment from another employee with one of the characters of Romance MD: Always On Call?

Maybe Sen finding out his MC has been getting harassed by another doctor in the hospital, and that she hadn't told him, and how he would react/support her?

Hi, anon! Thank you for sending me this ask and telling me this. I was afraid that people would think that I seek attention. I'm happy to see that it wasn't the case. Medicine is hard, but I don't imagine doing anything else. I have always wanted to be into a profession that helps people. Yet, I think it's important to show the life from not its pinkest side. If anyone wants to send more requests regarding this, you can find the post in here (Turn my experience as a med student into fan-fiction ideas). I hope you'll like the result. ❤️

MC being sexually harassed by another doctor (Sentaro Kyogoku x MC) (Scenario)

Trigger warning: Sexual harassment

Author's note: The name Dr. Takahashi was chosen randomly.

Summary: Sentaro wanted to help MC enlarge her medical knowledge, however he had no idea where that would make to her.

Word counting: 1427

"Do you want to train under Dr. Takahashi?" Sentaro asked MC while in the EICU headquarters. He knew from the start what her reaction would be: big eyes full of enthusiasm, clapping hands, and unintelligible blabbering. When she finally got hold of herself, MC nodded and spiraled into continuous confirmations. "Butthead," Sentaro mumbled but didn't forget to pat her head.

Dr. Kyogoku hoped that MC's reaction was the same every time she woke up, understanding that she would spend another day with him. Okay, he knew that his girlfriend was at least half as animated in the mornings because of this, thankful she was a step away from reaching her dreams of saving lives and having the love of her life near her. MC would spend twenty-four hours with one of the leading doctors from the NICU, but Dr. Kyogoku was still the best in MC's eyes.

A curious and slightly jealous Sen met MC after her shift with homemade breakfast. However, instead of seeing an exalted MC who could barely shut her mouth, he met an absent-minded girl who didn't glance at the meat on the table.

"Was it a hard shift?" Sentaro asked while munching on something random from the table.

MC looked at him for a while and tried to smile. However, her lips contorted into a thin line that accentuated the bags under her eyes. She shook her head and walked to the bedroom she shared with her boyfriend. Dr. Kyogoku wanted to know more about her shift, her experience with Dr. Takahashi, the differences between them, and maybe some tips. Though, not after MC's sleep, nor any other day he got any information. All he could find was that it was normal and a little about the patients. Sen cared about the patients. It was his job. But he could read their reports. What he wanted to know was about the doctor. A furrow appeared between Sen's brows, a furrow that would grow only deeper.

The first time Sen had a hunch that something wasn't alright was the next day at the EICU headquarters when MC moved her chair a little further from Takado when he sat near her. The furrow spread to the orthopedist. Yet, everyone knew MC and her antics, so there was no reason to get worried, was it?

However, the furrow was more contagious than anyone could expect. Its next victim was Ekuni, whose entire couch got avoided by the once clumsy MC who tripped on him every other day. Poor Hosho had it even worse because his existence was entirely ignored.

The circle was complete when MC flinched under Kasumi's touch when his hand found its place on her shoulder during a meeting. That was when everyone understood that something had happened, and it wasn't just about MC's antics. So, Kasumi had to do something about this because MC was a part of his team, a dear friend, and Sen's most important person.

"Did you observe it?" the cardiologist asked Sen after a meeting in his office. The pediatrician didn't need an explanation to know what his boss was talking about. His shoulder fell, and he let out a long breath.

"Something happened. Why don't you try to cheer her up? Maybe a change of environment will help?"

Sen didn't know what to say but knew he had to do something. For the rest of the day, he tried small tricks on MC to cheer her up: ate ramen with her, used more of his voice, and spent most of the day in her company. However, nothing changed even when they found themselves in Sen's car. So, the boyfriend had to use the last resort.

"What do you think about another shift with Dr. Takahashi?" Sen tried, even if he hadn't talked his over with the doctor.

At these words, MC's eyes got bigger, and she tried to say something, but nothing coherent left her lips. All Sen could understand was his girlfriend's head shook. Something happened, and this had to do with Dr. Takahashi. On the next red light, the man put a hand on MC's thigh, in an attempt to calm her and encourage her to open up. However, she flinched even harder than when Kasumi touched her. She moved her leg, trying to escape from her boyfriend's touch. Sen apologized, then apologized again. Even if it was something normal to rest his hand on her thigh, he had to accept that it made her uncomfortable. He wanted to talk to her about this as soon as possible, but MC ran out of the car when he stopped and shut herself in the bathroom. After an hour, she left but chose to take the side of the bed nearer to the wall, pressing herself entirely on it and putting as much space between her and Sen as possible.

Sen couldn't let it slide. MC was his girlfriend and the most precious person in his life. If she couldn't talk about what had happened, he had to find out by himself. And the fastest route to do it was to go to the first clue - the person after whose interaction with MC had changed: Dr. Takahashi.

It wasn't as if Dr. Kyogoku and Dr. Takahashi were besties. They had a purely professional relationship where they were the happiest not to interact outside the hospital. However, they respected each other as doctors, which was the reason behind Sen's possibility to send MC to study under him. But he was ready to throw everything under the bus if it was for MC.

"I came here to ask you about my protege," Sen started with one of his signature smiles.

"MC? She is one of the best residents I have met in my entire career. You taught her well."

For a second, Dr. Kyogoku let a genuine smile reach his lips. He couldn't stop himself from feeling proud of MC. She was one of the best. However, he didn't have to forget why he was there.

"Did you have any emergencies then? Lost a patient?"

Dr. Takahashi shook his head. They had two operations during the day and then did check-ups. Sen was ready to leave and ask the nurses and the patients or even try to make MC talk. However, the second he stepped outside, he heard Dr. Takahashi mumbling: "Poor thing you are the one who took MC first. Fantastic body and soul."

And it clicked. The furrow between Dr. Kyogoku's brows grew the deepest, and the anger took control of him. With heavy steps, he approached his colleague and took him by the collar.

"What did you just say? What did you do?"

The older doctor tried to step back to escape Sen's fury. However, the grip on his collar was too strong.

"I did nothing wrong. I just listened to my desires. And don't tell me that you have never thought about touching that butt at least once."

Maybe Dr. Takahashi thought he did nothing wrong and was too sure of men's solidarity. But it didn't stop Sen from punching him in the face. In an attempt to save his butt, the offender took a heavy book from his desk, ready to avenge himself. Yet, Dr. Kyogoku was faster and made his opponent drop the improvised weapon. That weakened his defense, and a punch found its place on his lips. Thankfully, the nurses heard the noise and ran to stop the two doctors. Five minutes later, both of them were in the HR office.

MC had no idea what her boyfriend discussed with Dr. Takahashi and the HR department. What she knew was that she had to take care of Sen's wound as gently as possible.

"That's for the first time you touch me in days," Sentaro whispered.

MC let go of Sen's chin and looked at her feet. A tear fell down her cheek.

"You know what happened, don't you?"

"Broadly," Dr. Kyogoku nodded.

That made MC break. She covered her face with her hands, and fat tears fell on the ground.

"Can I touch you?" a heartbroken Sen asked, afraid to hurt MC even more. After he got her approval, he put his hands around her shivering body. "It's okay. I won't let anything like this happen again. It wasn't your fault."

MC's weak hand found its place against her boyfriend's chest. She couldn't talk just then. But she would. And even if she wouldn't, Sen was ready to be near her as long as she needed him and a little longer.

[RMD] Toshiki Kasumi x MC: Her Jealousy (oneshot)

MC’s Diary

~4 pm~

This was any of the other normal day in the EICU office. This would have been if not for the exchange which was occuring in front of my eyes. 

Sometimes I myself think about how much weird I am when it comes to mangas, Sekai and medical knowledge. But the current emotion I am having can be counted in the general list right?

It had been several days since the new academic year started. Which meant classes for young interns and med students has already resumed in the Seimei University Hospital. Looking at the enthusiasm and excitement about gaining new knowledge in the field of medicine all over the university fills me with a sense of nostalgia. The scene of me running with medical journals, asking various questions to the professors is still fresh in my mind.

But a new academic year means various responsibilities, especially to me since Dr. Kasumi has gotten busier taking lectures in the university along with performing surgeries and attending meetings as well. Our schedules have become so much mismatched that we can’t even clock out together. Kasumi would mostly stay at the hospital, and even at home, we can’t see each other much. The only time we are together is in the operation theatre performing surgeries. I can’t blame the situation though, but yes, it makes me feel lonelier these days.

Kasumi’s office and even the EICU sometimes becomes a center of chaos with the amount of new students barging in to submit assignments or ask questions. Even though Matsunaga set a particular time of the day for these upon Directors’ request, the crowd wouldn’t dissipate that fast. Only Dr. Takado’s scolding and Dr. Kyogoku’s evil stare does the trick. Sensing the direness of the situation, I mostly devote myself to studies in the library or assist Dr. Tsuchiya and others in surgeries. 

Now, coming back to the situation in hand, I went to the lecture hall after completing a surgery to invite Kasumi for lunch, only to see many female students gathered around him. It seemed like he was explaining a particular topic. As I decided to pry in what he was teaching, an uneasy feeling crept to my heart. Even though my craze for understanding the topic was large, the close proximity of the girls with him, his professional gaze radiating through those glasses, and the prominent blushes on those girls’ cheeks made me recede my steps.I know I was the same in my classes as well, but I didn’t know it will make me feel weird. Hoping to at least get a beef bowl from the hospital cafeteria, I returned with subtle pangs in my heart.

Oh common, WHO IN THE WORLD GETS HUNGOVER FROM SUCH A TRIVIAL MATTER?! My idiotic expressions were able to catch the attention of the docs later. I was very glad they tried to cheer me up in their own ways, whether it was Dr. Takado giving me his limited ramen, Dr. Ekuni his sweet treats, Dr. Hosho rewarding me with a latte after surgery or Dr. Kyogoku bickering a little less than usual, it still went in vain. Due to this, I even ruined my conversation with Kasumi when he asked me to grab dinner in the evening. Now that I think about it, the audacity of me to ignore his attempts to talk and even excuse myself saying I already had plans?! JUST UNFORGIVABLE. Dear Sekai, I would have needed your comfort but I think I need something else. My internal monologues with you are not helping at all T-T

I thought maybe ignoring him could let my uneasiness end, but that was not the case. It became even worse. Now thanks to me everyone thinks I have gotten into a fight with him.

~10 pm~

Let’s just admit today was not my day. I had made up my mind to be on call tonight, but got driven away by Dr. Takado UGH. I also talked with Asuka about this, and she said me to figure it out myself with a giggle on her face. Although that reassured me that it’s nothing serious, still my mind working like this is killing my productivity and distracting me. 

Let’s just admit, I think I am a LITTLE jealous of those girls. Wait. Wait wait wait. WHY DO I SOUND LIKE A CREEP NOW?! ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )

Does this mean I am obsessed with Kasumi or what? To that extent that I am unable to continue my daily activities? Do I... Do I crave physical touch? UGH SOMEONE SLAP ME   ლ(¯ロ¯"ლ)

Anyway, I don’t think he will be back home tonight as well? I made some curry just in case, but oh well. If he’s having dinner with his stude- GAHHH STOP!!!

I will just pull an all-nighter and study! I am pretty sure that will help me to distract my mind from having these absurd thoughts. Let’s hope Dr. Kyogoku cools down tomorrow otherwise I.... zzz.

P.S. (the next morning) ~6:00~ 

I just arrived at the hospital with Kasumi (he came home yesterday yayyyyyyy  。゜゜(´Ｏ`) ゜゜。 ) and more importantly, I am relieved he got some sleep. I am so so glad I made curry yesterday for him! Although he seems to be in a good mood today? I remember falling asleep on the couch writing yesterday’s events but today I found myself on our bed with him. Aside from sleeping like a log, I don’t remember anything else? Was I making a funny face? Drooling? Perhaps was in an Egyptian position while sleeping? He kissed my forehead at the parking lot and even though he changed into his professional outlook, I could still see his shoulders shaking as if he was laughing. Dr. Kyogoku’s worry from yesterday has turned into wrath with twice the intensity.

Haahh, seems like there’s a new mystery to solve now  ┐(︶▽︶)┌

Your smile is always the best, Toshiki. Even though you ship the canon ship: Munechika x MC.

[leeinkie]

ROMANCE MD: Munechika Takado

I liked this. I was intrigued with the medical theme (I read the KBTBB AU story where they’re all doctors and wanted that AU for other titles, but a whole story is better lol) so I gave it a shot.

PROS:

MC

MC isn’t utterly clueless. She’s brilliant, driven, confident, knows herself. She has goals. She’s competent!

MC reads shojo manga and knows about otome lol! Has an imaginary 2D boyfriend. Come on, how relatable is she??

MC is romantically awkward but in a self-aware sort of way. Like, she recognizes flirting but smoothly side-steps it. She doesn’t freeze up, nor does she gets swept away easily. She’s unashamed about her awkwardness.

She’s so SASSY!!! XD And so geeky.

STORY

There are 30 episodes (I mean wow. But each one prolly shorter than coin stories) so the pacing was, for me, well-set. It’s not like they fell in love by episode 6.

The adorable bickering. It reminds me of HLITF’s MC x Ayumu Shinonome. They are mentor and mentee but I love how MC stands up for herself and holds her own against Dr. Takado.

Speaking of Dr. Takado, he’s as skilled as he is prickly, but isn’t arrogant. He works hard behind the scenes, hides the fact that he cares. No sexual innuendos from him, which is refreshing. He’s secretly kinda socially awkward as well, which is super endearing.

CONS:

While the leading men do really look gorgeous (can’t wait for the Kasumi route! Dark-haired intimidating silent types are my thing lol I mean, hello Ishigami), MC looks like she’s in her early teens in that bed CG, don’t you agree? She’s supposed to be 26. The rare times they put eyes on MC and she looks like she’s fresh out of middle school lol. One of the nurses in this story is supposedly MC’s college classmate - why does she look so elegant and MC’s like that? They’re both geeky after all!

It’s a Love Choice story :(

Rants About Love Choice

I resolved to never read titles with Love Choice, but as I mentioned, I was really curious about the medical theme. I’ve also collected about 109 hearts from all the logins and stories read since late last year, I think. 

There’s also a running promo for this story: no wait times and will get the collector’s edition automatically upon acquiring a Super Happy End.

So I thought my hearts would cover that but nooo. I ended up buying 40 more hearts, which is equivalent to a 400-coin story! So in total, I spent around 150 hearts to get a SHE, which is equivalent to 1,500 coins. How outrageous is that?! Sure, there were 30 episodes but that’s like, equivalent to 3 stories at most, which would only cost me 1,200 coins at full price. Love Choice is such a rip-off honestly.

There was a recent survey asking whether we want to have the option to buy hearts directly instead of exchanging them for coins. I wish they’d do away with it, but if I must make I choice, I think buying hearts directly would be better, as long as they don’t set a ridiculous price. Like, just price it exactly like coins - 1:1, or 1:2 at most. I mean, if it takes 150 hearts to get to SHE, and it takes more hearts to open chapters without waiting, a player would still spend 300-600 hearts per game. 

[aqvarius]

How is it ktbb has 15 seasons out while hltf only has like three out when they were both released around the same time?? I want more of my public safety boys 😔

i wonder the same thing all the time ;~~; at first i thought it was because hlitf has double route seasons but... kbtbb does too. i’ve never played beyond season 2 so i can’t really say and i’m obviously Incredibly Biased but maybe hlitf takes longer bc the routes are more intricately written in terms of needing to weave together lots of small clues and cases and characters into a wider narrative that’s cohesive not just across the two routes per season but also throughout the ENTIRE title? so the plots are centred around whatever case they’re working on (which usually somehow tie into the love interest’s personal life) and tend to be more work/action-focussed so they can’t really fall back on basing new stories premises SOLELY on more common or easier tropes like “my business rival is attracted to you” love triangle or “you got kidnapped just by being my associate” or “oh no i lost my memory”. i’m not saying that those tropes aren’t used but they all have to be relevant for a wider case and/or mc’s development as a detective, and the cases in part 1 and 2 of any season tend to be related. so for example, while adversaries is literally a love triangle situation, the love triangle/jealousy plot is framed around (and also gives us a positive result regarding) improving as s a public safety agent. likewise, being kidnapped or held ransom bc of being the associate of the love interest is always just one part of a larger case, usually the one they’re working on or it works as a setup for the next part of the season where the case usually gets closure.  

tl;dr: hlitf has more complex routes bc they have to link relationship development and character emotional development with the mc’s career/skill progression AND a reasonable criminal case. 

ANYWAY i totally think that hlitf should have more content tho! i get that we have a lot of substories too BUT i also think that we should be allowed to have more AU substories like kbtbb does, esp bc... im gonna say it.... i'm pretty certain kouan (hlitf) is more popular than suite (kbtbb) in japanese fandom? 

exhibit A: voltage general election 2019

in the top 50 ranking, 5 characters from kouan made it in, while suite only had 2, with 4 detectives ranking higher than the 2nd bidder. 

1. our reigning king HRH shinonome

2. eisuke

3. kaga

6. fresh meat tsugaru

13. goto (btw this is public safety goto, although bodyguard goto is currently pretty high on the weekly ranking chart)

18. soryu (lucky number tho)

27. ishigami 

exhibit B: the recent combination vote

i didn’t take a screenshot of any other couples except team kaga during the time when they were displaying the number of votes bc... i didn’t care... but you can still see the order in which they ranked and amazingly, eisuke/soryu pair ranked in 4th below takado/hosho pair. 

exhibit C: weekly and monthly ranking

weekly ranking: kbtbb places in 6th on the current weekly ranking below the special police (bodyguards). completely unsurprising that mpd is reigning champion as always. they haven’t released any new msb content this past week (or even month) so i’m that it’s placed above kbtbb in the weekly chart for titles, esp since they just released rhion’s wedding season last month and his epilogue yesterday. 

monthly ranking: ahhh look at public safety sitting pretty in rank 2. it makes sense that “i fell in love with you since that night” (irresistible mistakes) was in second place on the weekly bc kamiki rei just got a new season and tsugaru’s release was more than a week ago. kbtbb sits in 4th on the monthly ranking. basically what we can learn from this is that (1) japanese audiences love police stories? and (2) i trust japanese audience’s taste in mcs. 

by the way, this isn’t relevant but i’m really surprised that goto from my sweet bodyguard is somehow ranking in 6th on the weekly chart atm? was there a secret SP!goto fan revival that i didn’t hear about? and naturally my boy tsugaru is ranking #1 on the monthly and then he’s followed by literally NINE mpd characters, i.e. ALL OF THEM. and then araki jun is in 11th and ichinomiya eisuke in 12th. wild. 

i suspect that there’s so much excitement and thrill in hlitf ms that a “regular date” substory has us literally frothing at the mouths since it’s so rare for them to have time to go on regular dates, but i honestly think that more hlitf AU substories would be SUPER popular. 

but anyway you’re right that we all need more public safety content and there’s evidently a huge audience for it so.................
