Chapter Text
Why people always expect the worst case scenario?
Why they never expect the best outcome?
Well, Wooyoung isn’t one of these people, Wooyoung is always optimistic, always smiling and facing life with hope and good faith.
So when his gums started to bleed he didn’t paid attention, he bought a pharmaceutical toothpaste and rest assured that it will pass, he would reduce sugar as well and eat more fruits.
Yep, he could cure his gums, he just had to be careful.
But his gums had a different opinion. They constantly bled, now they bled whenever Wooyoung bit something hard…like an apple you naughty people. Not that he would mind to bite something more interesting, but he was alone the last few months, he just flirted around and he was okay with that.
But let’s get back to the problem because now, his teeth started to hurt. Really hurt.
This was bad. Very bad. Wooyoung had trauma with dentists. He hated them. He wore braces twice in his life because the first dentist never told anyone that he had to wear a teeth retainer in his sleep for the rest of his life, so his teeth would remain straight.
So Wooyoung had to wear braces for a second time.
It was traumatic in every part of his psyche including his confidence. When all his other classmates had the perfect teeth in the most perfect age for fooling around and flirting- he wore braces.
He still had nightmares about them when he was anxious.
He told about his gum problem to his best friend and roomate, Sannie because they discussed everything.
“Hey, you have to visit the dentist and I happen to know a good one.”
Wooyoung was depressed, he wasn’t a ray of sunshine anymore, he was scared, he had to face his biggest fear.
Fucking dentist.
“I will go with you, he is a great doctor, patient, kind, professional and handsome.”
Wooyoung finally looked at him.
“Handsome?”
“Yeah, very handsome.”
Wooyoung couldn’t hide a smile.
“I will close an appointment for you, alright?”
“Alright Sannie.” Wooyoung was thinking now that he had to buy Xanax.
The day to the dentist finally arrived and San did as he promised, he took him to the doctor, someone had to take him because Xanax really got him, Wooyoung was in the auto pilot.
San couldn’t help but laugh a little but anyway he felt for him and arranged everything just like a good friend.
As they sat in the waiting room a pretty assistant approached them.
“Mr. Jung, the doctor will see you now.” she said sweetly revealing her pearly white beautiful smile.
“Can I accompany him please?” San asked and he added, lowering his voice that “He took a pill and he is a little…relaxed, you know what I mean.”
“Oh, of course. Please follow me.”
They entered the room where the doctor was preparing his equipment. The moment he saw them he welcomed them and recognized San.
San explained the case to him.
“You see he is afraid of dentists dr. Park, that’s why he took a Xanax.”
“Ah, no worries, it happens to me all the time. I hope I can change his mind for dentists, I will be extra careful with him.”
“Thank you doctor, I appreciate it.”
“Let’s take a look at your teeth now, mr. Jung, Shall we? Mr. Choi you can sit there if you please. My assistant will be here shortly.”
San helped Wooyoung sit on the dental chair, he saw him how hard he tried to focus and greet the doctor. His eyes crossed from the effort and his head fell back on the chair.
“Mr. Jung, hello I’m doctor Seonghwa.”
“Mmm hi…I’m Wooyo…”
“I’m happy to meet you…Wooyo. Can you please open your mouth so I can check your teeth?”
“Yea…okay Soong…Hwa…doctor.”
San chuckled and apologized to the doctor but he waved it off with kind eyes.
“Don’t worry, I understand. Let’s see now.”
After a full examination the dentist told San that Wooyoung had periodontitis, a gum disease. Still with the right treatment he would be fine and his gums would be healthy again.
All that because he was in an early stage.
Doctor Park explained to San and to Wooyoung- who was not listening- that they would need to have two appointments at least for deep cleaning, as he said he would have to dig under the gums. And the patient would have to follow a home treatment with mediacal toothpaste, floss and mouthwash.
“When can you start doctor?”
“I can do the half mouth today, it’s a pity to not take advantage of...the nirvana state mr. Jung is currently in. Don’t you think?”
San looked at Wooyoung and smirked.
“Woo, do you agree for the good doctor here to clean your teeth?”
“Yea…clean them Hwaseong…I’m good…I’m fine, it’s okay.”
San giggled. “I leave him at your hands doctor.”
San went outside and let the dentist and his assistant do their job.
An hour later they called him inside.
San discovered that his friend retrieved his consciousness, he could focus now even though he seemed to be a little lost.
“How are you Woo?” San was so happy to see him as if he returned from a suicide mission or something.
Wooyoung tried to talk but instead he drooled and quickly he covered his mouth with a tissue.
The doctor took off his mask and smiled to San revealing his unbelievably white and straight teeth. Wooyoung seemed mesmerized looking at them. Such amazing teeth.
So mr. Choi and mr. Jung, things are better than I expected. The cleaning went well and we took out a lot of plaque, a lot. Mr. Jung you must have professional cleaning every six months and with the right dental care at home you won’t have a problem. Now your gums will hurt a little when the local anesthetic fade, you don’t have to brush them tonight but my assistant will give you instructions in what to do and what you have to buy, starting with an electric toothbrush. I assume you don’t use one, right?”
Wooyoung nodded, ashamed.
“She will show you how to use it, it will make your life easier, trust me.”
San saw how disappointed Wooyoung was and he hugged him.
“Everything will be alright Wooyo. Don’t worry, good doctor here said that.” He kissed him on the top of his head.
“Mr. Jung, don’t worry please, we will fix it. I promise. Remember that when it comes to health, prevention is the best medicine.” He raised his gloved finger upwards.
Wooyoung wanted to cry, only thing that kept him back was a) the pill and b) his shame.
How could he cry in front of that handsome doctor? He couldn’t. No way. Even if his mind was in a better place now, he was conscious of how gorgeous the man was. If he wasn’t drooling by the local anesthetic, he would be drooling for totally different reasons.
They talked about the paying plan that was surprisingly quite logical and after the assistant gave him instructions they left - with the best impressions.
Wooyoung couldn’t even drink water with the anesthetic so he went early to sleep, he slept like a bird. San kept an eye on him and made sure to remind him everything in the morning, they went to the pharmacy and bought everything he would need. And our boy showed professionalism and zeal and attended his oral hygiene as he should.
He would be a soldier till the next time to the dentist.
Surprisingly and this lifted his hopes, his gum stopped bleeding. He was so happy, he could continue with his life now, his studies and his part job in the fancy restaurant where he worked along with San.
Life went on as it used to before, just with a little more spice added every time Wooyoung thought of doctor Park. He couldn’t wait for their second cleaning.
After two weeks he returned to the clinic, this time without San and with half the Xanax. Now he could act like a human, he could talk and he would understand when other humans talked back to him.
He was still anxious though, if he wasn’t under the drug’s influence, he would have a panic attack when the assistant led him inside the room. But he was calm, the panic attack was only scratching his surface without breaking out.
More handsome than before with his white uniform, the doctor welcomed him and asked him how he was and how he did with the home treatment.
Wooyoung told him about his teeth adventures and his traumas and the doctor was very understanding and he told him that when he was a kid he had the same fear and what led him become a dentist was that he wanted to make this a pleasant experience to people.
Wooyoung couldn’t help but smile.
When they see you doctor it would definitely be a very pleasant one…
He thought and they started with the anesthesia.
Now Wooyoung had the mind and the bravery to check out his dentist. He was wearing his protection glasses and his mask and he was focused in digging deep inside Wooyoung’s gums to clean the plaque, but still he was a sight to witness.
Wooyoung bet that the clinic was very popular because of him. He must have had very loyal patients… including him. He thought that maybe he could whiten his teeth next?
Yes…why not?
When the doctor finished, he patted Wooyoung on his shoulder for his good behavior.
“You were so brave after all you’ve been through, such a brave boy, I’m so proud of you!”
It wasn’t only his ego that risen, it was something else as well. This shouldn’t be happening now and not there, of all places.
“I believe that when your gums heal in a few days you will have the prettiest smile in the world!”
Wooyoung smiled with his eyes, trying to hide his erection with the medical apron he wore above his clothes. He nodded and listened carefully to any instructions Seonghwa had to give him.
“My assistant will close the last appointment with you, you will come just for check out, to see how well we did and I will see you again then.”
“Thank you doctor Park.”
“Take care of your teeth and yourself my brave boy.” Seonghwa smile was irresistible. Wooyoung’s mind went delulu. He knew to what he would be jerking off the following days.
He had good material…
Brave boy, good boy…
Wooyoung left the clinic with a grin.
The days passed by and Wooyoung spent them admiring the doctor’s good work in his mouth. And thinking about him.
His sexy, handsome face, his beautiful warm eyes, his nose, his lips, his smile, his high cheeks, his dark hair. His height, his long fingers and legs. Hey his long fingers. Wow…Wooyoung loved fingers ahem, I mean he loved watching them work. Any kind of work. Just watch them doing things - and Seonghwa’s fingers seemed very capable and strong.
The way he dug out the plaque, it required skills. Accuracy and strength. He was persistent and hard working too. Wooyoung was pretty warm now, thinking about the charismatic doctor.
Was his handy in other activities as well? Was he caring and persistant? Wooyoung felt the familiar heat spreading in his belly.
Now he was at work, checking the evening’s reservations and people started to come in, Wooyoung saw a familiar face entering the restaurant.
It was his dentist, impeccably dressed in black pants and leather jacket, a white t-shirt and expensive shoes.
He was surprised when Wooyoung went to welcome him holding a tablet in his hands.
“Good evening doctor Park, so nice to see you here.”
Seonghwa opened his mouth in surprise, “Wooyoung! I mean mr. Jung, I didn’t know you are working here.”
“You can call me by my name doctor Park, yes I work here with Sannie.”
“Really? Then I should visit more often.”
He smirked and Wooyoung noticed that he was checking him out.
“There is a reservation in the name of Song Mingi, one of my friends is having a birthday tonight and we decided to celebrate him with good food here.”
“I will lead you to your table doctor Park, please follow me.”
Wooyoung was very confident in his clothes, he knew he looked good. His pencil trousers and his tight shirt and his hair slicked back, he knew and he could feel a pair of eyes following him now.
He smirked; he was extremely excited.
They reached to the table and Wooyoung made a brief bow.
“I hope you have a wonderful time tonight and I will do my best to accommodate you doctor Pa-“
“Please call me Seonghwa. And I’m sure I will have a wonderful night now that I know you will take good care of me and my friends. Thank you Wooyoung.”
Wooyoung smiled.
“You have such a pretty smile my brave boy.”
Oh…
“Please whatever you need don’t hesitate to call me.”
Seonghwa thanked him again.
San had the night off so Wooyoung didn’t have anyone to share his excitement with. He spent the whole night smiling and blushing every time he looked at the doctor’s way and their eyes met. He was thankful that under these lights no one could see his flushed face and neck.
Unintentionally he went near the doctor’s table to accommodate other customers. He found the chance to check out Seonghwa’s friends too. All of them good looking but no one like him. He stood out like a beacon of light in the night.
Wooyoung found himself sighing.
He tried to compose himself and went to greet the other customers.
He was the one that took the birthday cake to the table and he was the one to open the champagne. He did it elaborately and even if he was focused in the act, he knew that Seonghwa was staring at him.
Wooyoung allowed himself to feel flattered. As the night progressed, he noticed the doctor wasn’t the only one that looked at him, it was a friend of his that showed interest. He was tall and blond and handsome - not as handsome as the doctor though and when he got up to leave, he passed him his phone number and Seonghwa saw.
He saw and he stared at his friend but he didn’t say anything.
Wooyoung was embarrassed, he didn’t know what to do and Seonghwa was staring at him now. Did he want to see what he would do with the number? Maybe.
Since the man left and wouldn’t be offended Wooyoung threw away the paper and made sure the doctor would see. Then someone called him and he disappeared from Seonghwa’s vision.
When the birthday dinner came to an end, Seonghwa went over to pay, he gave his credit card to Wooyoung and smiled at him. Wooyoung smiled back and Seonghwa smiled harder biting his lip at the end and making Wooyoung chuckle.
“You’re so cute Wooyo.”
Wooyoung thanked him with confidence.
“Can’t wait to see you in the clinic. Thank you so much for the wonderful service.”
“It was my pleasure. ” he emphasized the word pleasure making Seonghwa lick his lips at the end.
He saw him walk away, turning his head back to check on Wooyoung and smirk to him.
He got to have his phone number like asap. Wooyoung almost melted where he was standing. Such a great night.
He returned so happy to his apartment and he couldn’t wait to tell Sannie everything, if he was awake.
And he was and they opened a wine and they talked about love and sex and everything in between and they sang until the morning and then Wooyoung went to clean his teeth and to follow the hygiene ritual that took him almost twenty minutes but he did it wholeheartedly this time.
Wooyoung saw the doctor again few nights later. He came to have a drink in the bar along with a friend of his, a red haired one and a little intimidating, almost in the same height with Wooyoung.
They sat on the bar and they talked but Seonghwa looked at Wooyoung’s way in every chance he got. San was working that night too and when he saw the doctor naturally, he went to say hi.
As Wooyoung was watching them he saw Seonghwa’s friend checking out Sannie. He was very discreet you know and then he introduced himself with a crooked smile on his lips.
Then Seonghwa’s phone rang and his face went serious, he turned to his friend and told him something, the man nodded with understanding and as he opened his wallet to pay his friend didn’t let him and Seonghwa said goodnight to San and left passing in front of Wooyoung.
“A client called me, a serious case, I have to go, I’m so sorry Wooyo.”
He told him as if he went there for him.
“I just hoped to see you a bit more. Anyway, have a good night.”
And Seonghwa ran.
Wooyoung had to process this. See him a bit more. Yeah…that was good. That was great actually.
Wooyoung returned to work. After an hour he searched for San but then he remembered that his swift had ended before his. It was weird that Sannie didn’t informed him when he left but anyway Wooyoung had so many things to do.
When he returned home, San was not there. Wooyoung got worried and he called him but he didn’t answer. Then he received an automated text of “I will call you back when I can.”
Alright whatever. He went to sleep thinking about his dentist and the coming appointment. How it would be? He will go there and he will check his teeth and everything gonna be okay and then he will leave?
Wooyoung really, really liked him, he could simply ask him out. He thought about this and multiple other scenarios… and he fell asleep.
When he saw Sannie in the morning he knew that he got laid. It was all over his face.
“Where were you Sannie boy?” he chuckled.
“Woo whatever I say, you can’t understand what happened last night.”
“I’ll make you a coffee if you tell me.”
“Make me a strong one and I will tell you everything.”
A few minutes later San told Woo about the best sex he ever had.
“I’m telling you Wooyo, this guy, Hongjoong, Park’s friend - is the greatest lover I ever had! I came four times in a row bro! When he manhandled me and when he turned me inside out and how he fucked me in every possible way I didn’t understand, I just moaned the whole time and cried out 'yes' and 'no', and 'enough' and 'please more' and 'oh my god ohmygodohmygod!” San burst to laughter and Wooyoung palmed his face and cried there, his friend was very expressive in his descriptions.
“I can’t believe you did this you crazy shit! You didn’t even know the guy!”
“Our dentist knew, he is his best friend and I believe that Seonghwa wouldn’t have an asshole for a best friend.”
“Yeah I guess you ‘re right, he seemed like a nice guy.”
“I have something for you though…”
“What do you mean?”
“A valuable information…”
Wooyoung’s eyes became twice their size. “Tell me!!”
“I will if you wash the dishes for a week!”
“Done! I don’t fucking care! Just tell me!”
“Park likes you…”
“How…did his friend tell you?”
“Well obviously! And I have one more info…about what he likes.”
“What the hell! Tell me!”
“He likes to play the doctor.”
“I won’t ask how or why he gave you that information. No, I won’t ask, cause I don’t wanna know. But thank you so much!” he hugged him.
“When it’s your appointment?”
“Tomorrow!”
San chuckled. “Maybe you should get advantage of that info…”
“I’ll see what I can do with it.”
Next morning Wooyoung got a call from the clinic.
“Mr. Jung I’m calling to inform you that there is a change in the time of the appointment, can you please make it at nine? Doctor has an emergency and it changed the whole program.”
“Is he alright?”
“Yes it’s a patient’s emergency please do not worry. Is the time alright for you?”
“Yes I don’t have a problem with that.”
“Thank you so much mr. Jung and we apologize for the inconvenience.”
Wooyoung smirked. Nine o clock. He hoped he would be the last appointment of the day.
He arrived in the clinic on his time and waited patiently, he saw the assistant leading a patient outside doctor’s room, the man paid and the assistant informed Wooyoung to wait a little for the doctor to disinfect the area.
He saw her preparing her things, closing her laptop and taking of her medical apron. She smiled at him and knocked at Seonghwa’s door when he answered she informed him that she was leaving.
She said goodnight to Wooyoung and left. Then Seonghwa appeared on the door and smiled at him.
“How are you Wooyo?” he asked him and Wooyoung felt a heatwave consuming him. The man was even sexier and prettier tonight. Or so it seemed. Or maybe Wooyoung was VERY excited because of the valuable info San gave him.
“I’m…fine…” he seemed reluctant, Seonghwa immediately was concerned.
“What’s wrong? Who hurt you?” he went there and took his hands on his.
“O-Oh no one, please, really. It’s just a personal thing. A little embarrassing too…”
Seonghwa felt a little relieved but still he was concerned.
“I don’t want to be indiscreet but you can tell me, you can tell me everything.”
Wooyoung felt so small in front of him and he loved it. He loved to feel small and protected and taken care of.
“Can we go inside first and check my teeth?”
“Yes, yes of course, that’s why you are here for. I’m sorry.”
Wooyoung walked in and sat on the dental chair. Seonghwa wore a pair of gloves and asked him to open his mouth, he smiled, he checked them thoroughly and then he turned off the inquisition lights and disposed his gloves.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. If you continue the treatment at home you will never have a problem again. Just don’t forget, to visit the dentist twice a year.” Seonghwa smiled and Wooyoung smiled back, shyly.
“I will.” He added and looked down.
“Now, will you consider telling me about your issue?”
“It’s a…personal issue and medical maybe, I think I have to visit the according doctor for that.”
“Oh…I see.” Seonghwa crossed his hands. Did he feel rejected? Oh shit, Wooyoung had to fix his mistake.
“It’s not that you couldn’t know, or give me an advice but really, it may be too much and it’s quite…inappropriate.”
Seonghwa’s eyes lighten up, he leaned forward.
“I understand. But If there is a chance I could help I really want to. When you say inappropriate?” he asked the latter one in a lower tone, as if someone could hear them.
“You see…it’s about my…ahem…” Wooyoung looked at the camera’s, Seonghwa followed his eyes.
“Oh, these? Don’t worry I turned them off. Nine o’clock I turn everything off.” he smirked and gestured him to continue.
Wooyoung leaned closer. “It’s about my prostate.”
Seonghwa bit his lower lip in a spontaneous grimace. He definitely didn’t see this coming. He tried so hard to remain serious and professional.
“I think it doesn’t work anymore.”
