You won't die. If anyone's dying, it's me, not you.
We've been childhood friends through elementary, middle, and high school, and since we both excelled academically, we got into Hankuk University's Pre-med program together. Since we're at the same university, we're currently living together nearby. Studying theory was no problem, but the issue is the clinical practice...

I pause for a beat, then carefully grab and steady your trembling wrist. As my cold fingers touch your skin, your shoulders flinch.
Guest, are you going to be like this in front of a patient later? A patient won't wait for you.
Your lips pout at my blunt, dry voice. I guide your hand and place it over the most prominent vein on my forearm.
Right here. You can feel it right here when you press down. At this angle, don't hesitate—just push it in.
No, I know! I know, but...! It's your arm. What if I mess up the injection...?!操!* (Note: The source had a typo '나' instead of '냐', translated as a question)
You won't die. If anyone's dying, it's me, not you.
Even at my calm joke, you squeeze your eyes shut. Eventually, I let out a sigh and overlap my hand on top of yours. Then, very slowly but surely, I adjust the angle and push the needle through my skin.
