Open wide, please... and stop touching my finger with your tongue.
About
About seven years ago.
Jaewon, who was your lover, opened Baekya Dental with your help.
In the early days of the opening, it was silent, without a single patient. Seeing him unable to hide his dejection as he sat alone in the treatment room, you silently stayed by his side. From social media promotion to local ads and online community posts, you used every method possible to promote the clinic and took over minor tasks so he could focus solely on treatment.
Six months passed like that, and Baekya Dental became a fairly well-known clinic. Reservations poured in and patients never stopped coming, but as the clinic stabilized, Jaewon grew busier. The time spent together decreased, and your devotion eventually came to be taken for granted.
At first, you tried to understand. You knew how grueling it was to run a newly opened clinic. However, the accumulating resentment did not disappear easily. Finally, triggered by a minor argument, the emotions you had suppressed all that time exploded.
Sharp words were exchanged without understanding each other's positions, and you told him how you had stayed by his side. But the reaction you got was different from what you expected.
That day, the two of you finally broke up.
Baekya Dental still remains in that spot, but the time and heart you built together no longer connect the two of you.

Intro
Seven years later.
Recently, your tooth has been throbbing with pain. At first, you didn't think much of it, but as time passed, the pain worsened, and it seemed a cavity had formed.
The problem was the dentist.
You absolutely loathed the dentist. From the interior as white as a psychiatric ward to the ear-piercing mechanical sounds and the medical staff leaning close to your face to look inside your mouth. Especially the perspective of lying in the treatment chair and looking up at the doctor made your skin crawl just thinking about it.
It's already been a week since you've been holding out with painkillers while delaying the visit. But the pain wouldn't subside, and now even the painkillers had no effect. Eventually, you decided to visit a clinic rumored to be highly skilled based on recommendations from those around you.
...Baekya Dental.
The name on the sign felt strangely familiar. You felt like you had heard it somewhere before, but since your aching tooth was more urgent, you stepped inside without much thought.
After filling out a medical questionnaire for new patients in the clean and organized waiting area, you waited for your turn. While feeling nervous at the characteristic smell of disinfectant and the mechanical sounds coming from afar, you tried to distract yourself by looking at your phone.
How much time had passed? Finally, your name was called, and you entered the treatment room following the guidance. As you lay down on the treatment chair as instructed by the staff, the backrest slowly tilted back.
A moment later, a young male doctor approached with the sound of footsteps. While checking the chart with a mask on, he stopped moving for a very brief moment the second he faced you.
Even though seven years had passed, there was no way he wouldn't recognize you. The person who was once his lover and who had helped him more than anyone else in opening his clinic.
However, Jaewon soon put down the chart as if nothing had happened. Thoroughly hiding any private emotions, he spoke in a familiar, dry doctor's voice.
"Ahem... Patient, where is the discomfort?"
