One thing I really like about how we use the affordances of tumblr is how reblogging yourself is used to break textposts up. It's not just a novel form of punctuation, it's effectively borrowing a structural trick from comics.

the trauma code 📢

word count: 2,011

genre: medical drama, hint of angst, slight comedy, romance, smau at the end.

⚠️ mentions of blood, organ, operation, doctor!reader, the bridge incident, the situation is heavily inspired by the eps. 3 & 4

☆ i had this in mind for a few days now, oh, and it's not related to the smau i posted before!

“What a lucky day for Doctor Ji—she’s not even answering my calls.” Jang-mi sighed, setting her phone down. You have finally gotten your first day off since becoming a specialist doctor.

Beside her, Jae-won shrugged. “She deserves it. She’s been working nonstop since she started with Doctor Kwon.”

Gyeong-won nodded in agreement. They barely had time to relax before the intercom buzzed with an urgent announcement.

“Code black! Code black! All doctors report to the ER immediately.”

Their half-eaten lunches were forgotten as they sprinted toward the emergency room. The first thing they saw upon arrival was Doctor Baek, already assessing the situation.

“Anus is going to go with me to the scene” Jae-won looked at him puzzled, “Why do i have to go?”

A heavy silence filled the ER. He could already picture Kang-hyuk sighing, then getting annoyed, and he really didn’t want to deal with that, so he quickly added, “Okay then, i’ll bring the emergency supplies”

When the helicopter finally landed, Kang-hyuk pulled Jae-won's hand to get inside after they removed the patient from the helicopter for treatment in the emergency room.

“How's the situation there?” Kang-hyuk asked over the radio.

There was a brief pause before Officer An Jung-heon’s voice crackled through. “Worse than expected. We still haven’t been able to evacuate the people trapped beneath the bridge.”

Kang-hyuk wasted no time dividing their responsibilities. “I’ll triage the critical patients. Jae-won, take the ones I sort out.”

The pilot asks Kang-hyuk whether he wants to land on the bridge or under the bridge. He, of course, answered that the chopper must land under the bridge.

As soon as they touched down, they hurried into action. Officer An Jung-heon was already on-site, guiding ambulances through the narrow access road.

A child’s cry caught Kang-hyuk’s attention. He rushed toward a little girl, kneeling beside her with the emergency kit in hand.

Her wounds were minor, but the fear in her wide eyes told him everything. “You’re going to be okay,” he reassured her gently. “We’ll take you to the hospital soon.”

She clutched his sleeve, her voice trembling. “Please save my brother. He was hugging me when the bus fell.” She's crying, and her words hit him hard in the gut. She was just a child.

Kang-hyuk told her that he and the other doctors and the SAR team would do their best to find her brother.

After getting her to a safer area, he turned back to the wreckage, quickly sorting through the injured. When he found the little girl’s brother, his condition was serious—a stab wound, likely from debris.

He told Jae-won to go into the ambulance with a stab wound– the little girl's brother.

Meanwhile, Kang-hyuk moved toward the bridge, scanning the wreckage. Then, his breath caught.

A car. One that looked exactly like yours.

His pulse pounded as he approached. The other patients had already been treated, but no one had checked inside the vehicle. He yanked the door open.

“Doctor Ji,” His breath hitched, “There's another person here!” The rescue team quickly ran to him, bringing the scoop stretcher.

Kang-hyuk tells them to bring you to the chopper, trying to keep his voice steady.

“What?”

“Bring her to the chopper!” They bring your unconscious body to the chopper, while An Jung-heon also helps by opening the door and standing by inside so they can get you in faster.

They worked quickly, with An Jung-heon helping to secure you inside. Kang-hyuk’s heart slammed against his ribs. Your condition was worsening.

By the time the helicopter reached the hospital, he was praying— praying that he’d be able to save you in time.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

The helicopter finally landed, and all of them rushed to get you inside the OR. The nurse looked surprised when they first saw you laying weakly on the scoop stretcher.

When they finally made it to the OR, Kang-hyuk told them to call for Jae-won, Jang-mi, and Gyeong-won– luckily, they had already finished their operation.

Kang-hyuk goes outside the room to wash his hands, and Jae-won gets inside with Jang-mi and Gyeong-won to go to their position.

In the OR, chaos reigned.

“Heart rate dropping— it’s too low!” Gyeong-won shouted.

Kang-hyuk rushed to get inside, murmuring your name while wearing his gown hurriedly, hoping that you would hold on for a little longer.

Jae-won’s heart pounded. “She’s in cardiac arrest! Starting CPR!” He climbed onto the bed, pumping your chest. “Stay with us, Doctor Ji.”

“V-fib, get down” Kang-hyuk goes to your side, holding both of the paddles on his hands, putting it on your chest.

“Charge to 200 joules”

“Clear!”

“Shot!” Your body jerked from the defibrillator shock. No response.

“Charge again! 200 joules”

And finally, your heart condition came back to normal, “Give me the heart USG” Jang-mi help Kang-hyuk by bringing the machine close to him, “Patient having a heart rupture, we need to operate her quickly”

“We'll start the operation now. Mess.” Kang-hyuk's hand skillfully cut through your skin using the mess, “suction”

After a while, your heart starts to squirt blood to the outside of the heart, making Kang-hyuk hold your heart in his hand– literally.

“Anus, hold her heart tightly” Jae-won looked surprised, and he stuttered “With hand?”

“Hurry!” Kang-hyuk then asks Jang-mi to give him a surgical glove, who quickly complies with his order.

After he cuts it to match with the rupture, he puts it on the rupture and starts to stich the piece he takes from the glove.

“With this, the patient will hold for 10 minutes at best, so now we're doing reinforcement. Everybody, focus” Everyone in the OR stays still for a while.

“Sutures”

Kang-hyuk carefully resected a piece of the pericardium, placing it over the rupture and stitching it into place while ordering Jae-won to do the same.

“Gangster, take an endoscope” Jang-mi raised her eyebrows, “it's on the old building” she sighs.

“I'll give you 5 minutes, run!” She then ran out of the OR to get the endoscope.

4 hours has passed, they finally done with the last operation for today, and the operation finally came to success. Your bed was transferred to the VIP room.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

“All four trauma patients from the Seongsu Bridge accident have successfully undergone surgery.” Kang-hyuk declared to the reporter with Jae-won beside him.

The reporters murmured something, “Isn't it just three patients? Who is the fourth?” One of them asked.

Both of them sigh before answering the question, “One of our own trauma doctor is having a time off, and unfortunately she's on the accident, she's having a heart rupture and the operation just finished a few minutes ago”

A frenzy of questions erupted.

Kang-hyuk mentions some people that had help him, like Jang-mi, Gyeong-won, and Doctor Han.

"There are many others working tirelessly behind the scenes who deserve recognition for their efforts in helping patients affected by this accident. We hope the trauma center becomes a vital lifeline for those in need and that it receives additional support for medical advancements and technical resources."

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

Why would Baek Kang-hyuk care deeply about you? That's also a question Kang-hyuk tried to avoid sometimes. When he asks that to himself, he can even seem to figure out the answer.

One thing for sure, you've done your way cracking through his heart ever since he first laid eyes on you.

You're practically the sunshine in the gloomy trauma unit room. Your presence can make everyone instantly happy.

Your kind gestures and pretty face make you the definition of beauty inside out.

The first time he sees you, you're doing CPR to one of the trauma patients when the other doesn't seem to move because they are already giving up with the patient's condition.

When he asks you the reason for you to do it, "“I don’t want anyone to suffer the way my mother did. The doctors gave up on her when she still had a chance. When I studied to become a doctor, I realized she could have been saved if they hadn't given up on her."

Your tear prickled in the corner of your eyes, and so he handed you a tissue.

Kang-hyuk swears it's the way you move, the way you talk, the way he can clearly feel the butterflies on his stomach when you are just standing a little too close to him.

The way your eyebrow furrows when you're focusing on something, the way you hold his hand when he didn't get to save a patient while calming words also comes out of your mouth.

All of them make him start to give his piece of his heart little by little to you.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

You can feel the warmth of a person beside you, holding your hands while his head is dropped to the bed.

“Kang-hyuk,” Your voice is weak, small, but at least he can hear your voice again.

His face etched with worries written all over him, He handed you a glass of water which you drink rather fastly “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” Even in the state you're in, you can still laugh at him, Kang-hyuk doesn't understand.

“You look cute when you worry about me like that, and no, I'm not hurt anywhere. Thank you” He shook his head, refusing your thanks.

When he really looks at you, you can see the way his eyes are bloodshot, a sign that he's been crying.

“Don't make me worry about you again” His hand goes straight to brush your hair out of your face, and your cheeks flush at his gesture. The tension between both of you is there but not too thick.

Gyeong-won, Jae-won and Jang-mi– who've been wanting to visit you because they heard you have already woken up, suddenly stop their movement.

They can see the tension, curious about what's going to happen next. They didn't know you've been dating him?

“We'll talk about this later, now you need to rest and eat, what do you want to eat?” He gets his phone from his pocket, opening an online food delivery application on his phone.

He then lets you freely choose the restaurant from his phone, occasionally scolding you when you ask for something out of the box.

There was also a lot of laughter filling up the room when both of you found something funny.

That sweet moment, soon being interrupted by the loud thud from the door of your room, all three members of your team look startled by the scene in front of them.

How could you? Their mother, not by blood; the radiant light of everyone– dating the new moody, cocky, grumpy doctor? And sharing a sweet moment in a hospital bed and in front of their own eyes, no less?

When both of you take a look behind Kang-hyuk, the atmosphere becomes awkward, so you just invite them to sit on the sofa with a small voice, embarrassed by the action you just had with the new head of the trauma center.

“…Would you like to sit down?” you offered weakly.

Luckily though, they didn't bring the topic back to the table and just said that they wanted to have lunch there.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

“So, you and Doctor Baek, huh?” Jang-mi has been teasing you for almost a week now.

Your relationship with Baek Kang-hyuk is not a secret anymore, not only Jang-mi teasing you up until now, but Gyeong-won and Jae-won also giving you nods of disappointment when they saw you and Kang-hyuk together.

“Nurse Jang-mi, you better stop now or I'm going to cut your supplies of instant ramyeon for the rest of your life” A smile plastered on your face, not your usual sweet smile, but one that can be described as a threat even when you're not saying anything.

Jang-mi quickly shut her mouth and pretended to look at the computer on her desk.

Kang-hyuk handles the situation differently. He would just glare at them before flashing that infuriatingly smug smirk of his.

When Algy's assistant asked him what he would like for his 13th birthday, Algy's first choice was a sou'wester and his second choice an umbrella… and no doubt Algy's friends can guess why 😀🌧☔️

Unfortunately, Algy's assistant could not find a fluffy-bird-sized sou'wester, and so when Algy opened his presents on the morning of his birthday he found an umbrella, which his assistant explained was coloured like a rainbow to ensure that every rainy day would have at least one glorious rainbow in it 🌈

As it had already rained a wee bit by that time, Algy thought it prudent to practise using the umbrella before the clouds opened again… only it turned out not to be quite as straightforward as he had expected…

(This animation was made in great haste on Algy's birthday, so he hopes you will forgive its many faults!)

btw, since i've seen this mistake several times in the last week:

it's not 'been put through the ringer.' what would that mean. what would the ringer do to you.

it's the wringer. a device for squishing the water out of clothes so they'll dry faster on the line. wringing them out.

📲 YOU JUST GOT A MESSAGE FROM HNUH TRAUMA CENTRE!

while being a doctor in cardiology, the new arrogant but brilliant trauma doctor asked you and Yang Jae Won to be his fellow.

or in which— this is your day after entering the chaotic trauma center

🚑 HNUH TRAUMA CENTRE 🏨

The antiseptic smell hits you as soon as you walk outside your room, The night shift really made you look like hell because you can only get 2 hours of sleep and last night you walk like a zombie to your room.

"Doctor Ji, you wake up already? it's only been 2 hours, and your patient is stable right now," one of the nurses said when she saw you walk through the trauma center door.

You gave her a light smile, "Emergency usually calls on this hour, need to stand by because the soon we get them to the operation, their life percentage will also be bigger."

She nodded at your words, and not even 5 minutes later, a patient surged through the hall with a stab wound, and he's unconscious.

You ran as fast as you could to the TICU, and there you saw Jae Won with his EKG, checking the heart of the patient.

"He's having a cardiac tamponade. Let's do puncture first! Call on the cardiologist, tell them we have a cardiac tamponade patient!" You said, and the nurse gave you a syringe to take the blood from the heart.

Xiphoid Process, 45 degrees to the left.

"Doctor! They can't schedule an operation. They said it's already full," You can visibly see the desperate on Jaewon's face, "Tell them it's cardiac tamponade patient"

But the nurse have already asked that before, "They have a heart rupture patient," She said with worried attached on her face.

You sigh, "Well then, call Doctor Baek." The nurse acknowledged your words with a nod.

All of you tried your best not to disturb Doctor Baek kang hyuk because he's on a meeting with the whole department on hospital.

"BP is getting too low! It's 40!" That words make Kang hyuk take the stairs, after running with his whole strength out of the meeting room.

He instructed the nurse to call an anesthesiologist— Park Gyeong won, of course, and prepare the operation room.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

"You look like a zombie," Gyeong won said after you get out of the operating room.

You let a light chuckles, "Expect that when you only have 2 hours of sleep," you answer while washing both of your hands.

"Doctor Ji, why are you still doing here? i thought i told you to check the code black patient from last week?" You sigh at yourself, wanting to punch the man beside you until he passes out, but instead, you just smile at him and answer him with a quiet 'yes'.

Jae won only looked at your back with pity, "Don't you think it's too much? it's only a date"

Kang hyuk ignore him and just give both of them a sly smirk.

Ad Hoc Dolor

Hello everyone, I'm back with another Destiel fic! The first chapter is now up on ao3 and I will be posting new chapters weekly every TUESDAY! See below for the summary:

Dean Winchester, Angel Hunter had a nice ring to it. It was the kinda title that had people clapping him on the back in hallways and begging to hear stories from his hunts. Huntin' angels was no easy work but Dean made due, and he was damn good at his job. There was no angel he couldn't put down, no hunt he couldn't handle. That was until he got his latest assignment, the seraph: Castiel. What starts as just another hunt turns into something much more when Dean learns that Angel Intelligence wasn't just keeping an eye on Heaven... Heaven was keeping an eye on Dean.
