Just now housemate came into my room, smiling cheerfully, clad in her going-out pieces. I looked at her expressionless, sorry I was sleepy.
"Hana Hana, I want to show you something. But don't get mad," she grinned with her phone in her hand.
"What." I said expressionless. Urgh today I was really lethargic. Even mom's post on my wall "CNBLUE has arrived home" made me super happy inside but on the outside all I could manage was a small smile.
She showed me her phone and I immediately spotted Dr. Hussein in the center of the picture, looking content, flanked by said housemate and two other friends.
I looked up to see housemate grinning proudly.
"We took this picture and I thought of you."
It was obvious the picture was freshly taken today. "What did you guys go to campus for?"
"We went to visit (insert friend's name)."
"Oh."
I think she could tell I was sleepy and my reaction was not the normal reaction an Hana will throw at the sight of Dr. Hussein. She left my room. And I returned to my Surgery book.
Normally I would throw a "whaaat no fair I want to meet him too!" and I do feel so. They met him outside school hour so they probably got to talk to him, which doubled my jealousy. But more importantly, I was jealous they went to visit our friend. I guess they went when I was asleep.
Despite the multitude of jumbled feelings, on the outside I was still today's scruffy (I would have stubbles if I could grow a beard), messy top-knotted haired girl in an oversized scrub, staring at my book like esophagus rang any bell.
It's either my jealousy has been tamed, or I felt unthreatened due to already have a personal picture with him (oh should I post it here?) or possibly the happy effect of mom's caption still lingered.
Right now, I'm thinking of Yonghwa-sama crooning "miss you~" in the opening line of Can't Stop.

She shared the picture in our usrah WhatsApp group and I got a closer look of Dr. Hussein.
"Ah. He smiled." I said. A rare one.
"Because as I was taking the picture, I said "1, 2, 3, smile."" She replied. She later told me she remembered me saying Dr. Hussein very rarely smile for the camera as she snapped that picture.
"I will crop that smiling face." I replied with a blow-kisses face.
