POV: Female Lead (Doctor)
Luna Mariano had encountered many difficult patients before—stubborn ones, demanding ones, even ones who cried over a simple injection.
But Mark Watson was something else.
The man was infuriatingly composed, cold to the point of being emotionless. But Luna had never been the type to back down from a challenge, and mark had just unknowingly given her one.
She was going to make him care about something.
Even if it killed her.

The Next Encounter
The next time she saw Mark was three days later.
She was finishing up paperwork at the nurses' station when she spotted him walking through the hospital's private wing, accompanied by his secretary. His tailored suit was crisp, his posture straight, and—unsurprisingly—his expression was as unreadable as ever.
luna smirked. Time to mess with him.
"Mr. CEO!" she called out, waving dramatically.
Several nurses turned to stare. Mark stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing at her.
Luna approached with a bright smile. "Long time no see! How's my favorite patient?"
Mark's secretary looked horrified. Mark,on the other hand, just sighed. "Dr. Luna," he said coolly. "You are not my doctor anymore."
She grinned. "That's true. But I'm still your fan."
Mark gave her a blank look. "My… fan?"
"Of course! I admire how committed you are to never smiling. It's impressive, really. Takes a lot of dedication."
Mark exhaled sharply. "You have too much free time."
"That's because I finish my work efficiently," she shot back. "Unlike some CEOs who think glaring at people counts as productivity."
His secretary stifled a laugh. Mark turned to glare at him.
Luna leaned in slightly. "Come on, admit it. You missed me a little."
Mark stared at her for a long moment before saying flatly, "I forgot you existed."
Luna gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. "Ouch. That hurt."
Mark turned away. "Goodbye, Dr. Luna."
As he walked off, Ha-neul grinned to herself.
He hadn't denied it.

Mark's POV: The Unshakable Doctor
Mark had no idea why this woman was so persistent.
Most people avoided him. They either feared him or wanted something from him—power, money, influence.
But Luna Mariano? She wasn't intimidated by him at all. If anything, she enjoyed getting under his skin.
And the worst part?
It was starting to work.
He found himself thinking about her when she wasn't around. Wondering what sarcastic comment she'd throw at him next.
It was annoying.
And yet, he didn't completely hate it.
