A/N: Here is my awesome hubby's confession (: I think I should've written more of a back story but this should still make sense. Yes, he does like her and doesn't know how to tell her. I know I didn't write Jin like that but that's what it's supposed to be.
The black haired doctor sat at his desk with a pile of paperwork in front of him. Lightly, he used his left hand to massage his temple as the other held the pen he was using. Outside the sun had set and the moon was high in sky. He had finished with seeing all his patients hours ago and he was still at work.
"Jin, you should stop working and go home. Go get some rest, you can always finish that tomorrow," his nurse and grandmother, Irene commented.
He shook his head, the locks of his hair flying. "I have to finish these first."
Irene looked at the pile of paperwork and sighed. "Jin, go home. I can take care of those," she replied gently.
"Oh no, I can't do that Grandmother."
"Just go before I start yelling."
A look of amusement crossed his face and he reluctantly walked out of the clinic. His house was in Maple Lake District and the clinic was in Waffle Town so he had a fair amount of walking to do. He headed down the path with the moon shining above him. He kept massaging his temple and a sigh escaped his lips. As much as he loved his job, it was incredible stressful at times.
"Hello Doctor Jin," a soft voice called out to him. He turned to see the farmer, Angela, a few paces behind him.
"Good evening, Angela," he replied, dipping his head. She smiled at him and they continued walking with her trailing a bit behind him.
"What are you doing out so late Doctor?"
"I just left the clinic, there were some paperwork that needed to be done," he replied.
"If you need help, I can go off to the clinic after I finish with my farm," she said cheerfully.
"No thank you Angela. I can handle it but thanks for offering." He didn't want her there. If she was there then he wouldn't get anything done.
A look of disappointment crossed her face but since he was walking in front of her, he didn't notice. "I'll see you tomorrow Doctor Jin, good night," Angela said before turning and walking down the path towards Caramel River District.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he watched her leave. A rush of emotions released in his body and he felt trapped. A look of longing filled his eyes and he didn't know why.

Silence hung in the air at the clinic as Jin concentrated on the leftover paperwork that Irene hadn't completed while she mixed new medical concoctions. The opening of the clinic door alerted Jin but he didn't look up, instead he just kept concentrating on the words in front of him.
"Angela! What happened to you?" Irene exclaimed. At the mention of Angela's name, Jin froze and his eyes widened. He didn't hear her reply and worry spread through his body.
"Jin! Come here quickly!" Irene called out. Swiftly, he got out of his chair and rushed to the reception area to see Owen with Angela's unconscious body in his arms. Jealousy seared through his body and he bit his lip to keep from saying anything.
He ushered Owen into an examine room along with Angela's body. Owen gently laid her body onto the soft bed and stepped back. "I found her in the mines like this and she was already unconscious," Owen explained as Jin checked her breathing with his stethoscope.
Irene had hooked her up to a monitor to keep an eye on her heart rate and blood pressure, just in case something was going on in her body. Her blood pressure was normal and her heart rate was stable. Carefully, he quickly sutured the lacerations on her arms and rubbed an ointment onto her bruises to make sure the swelling would go down.
"Is she going to be okay?" Owen asked anxiously. Jin nodded and quickly wrote down notes into Angela's medical file before walking back to his office.
The pile of paperwork still sat on this desk but he couldn't concentrate anymore on it. He rubbed his temples and closed his eyes.

Jin sat in front of his clean desk. The paperwork had finally been completed, thanks to Angela's help. After she had healed, she had come to the clinic to thank Jin, although it was his job. She saw him getting frustrated and decided to help him against his wishes.
He glanced at the desk with relief. Paperwork was the bane of being a doctor. He walked outside to see Irene arranging the new bottles of medicine behind the counter. "Do you need any help, Grandmother?"
"Oh no, I'm fine. You can leave now Jin. I can close up after I'm done. Besides, it's your day off today, go relax."
Jin nodded and left. He knew better than to argue with Irene. Outside, small flakes of snow were falling down lightly. Some got caught in his black hair. Walking through town, he headed toward Caramel River District.
He spotted Angela gently brushing her cow's fur and murmuring to it in the pasture. Jin smiled and walked closer to her, calling her name.
She looked up at him and grinned. "Hello Doctor Jin."
Jin frowned a bit at the formality. "Angela, you know you can just call me Jin outside the clinic."
She blushed and nodded. "Ha-ha, right," she said smiling. "What are you doing here, Doctor, ah, I mean Jin?"
"I was taking a walk through the island. It's my day off today," he replied.
"Oh, I see." She turned back to her cow and Jin watched her. Snow was still falling and they caught in her shoulder length brown hair.
"Angela, are you busy later in the day?"
She tilted her head a few degrees and shook it. "No I don't have anything else to do after I finish taking care of my farm, why?"
"There's something I need to tell you," Jin answered swiftly.
She stared at him, puzzled. "Can't you tell me now?"
"It would be best to wait until later in the day. Can you meet me at Alan's tree at 16:00?"
Angela nodded her head and gave him a smile. "Of course, I'll see you there, then?"
A look of relief appeared on his face and he beamed at her. "I shall see you later."

Jin walked up the snowy hill and saw the brunette standing underneath the big tree. He picked up the pace and arrived a bit short of breath.
He exhaled softly before calling her name, slightly startling her. She turned around quickly, her eyes wide before smiling warmly at him. Snow was still falling around them.
"I'm sorry to cause you to wait," Jin apologized.
"You don't have to say sorry, Jin. I wasn't here that long." That was a lie. She had arrived an hour before the time they were supposed to meet. She wanted to make sure she wouldn't be late so he wouldn't have to wait. Instead, she was the one waiting and the air was chilly.
He noticed her rubbing one arm across the one and looked at her. She blushed when she felt his gaze. Her cheeks flared a light red and she blinked when she felt the unfamiliar feeling of warmth.
Jin pushed his glasses up so they rested on the bridge of his nose. "Are you cold?" he asked, a touch of concern showing in his navy blue eyes.
She shook her furiously and smiled. "No, I'm fine," she lied again.
He blinked his eyes twice and shrugged. She clearly didn't want to admit she was cold although he could see it plainly.
"What is so important that you couldn't tell me earlier, Doctor Jin?"
His eyebrows creased and he bit his lip as a small smile formed. "Angela, I'd really prefer you calling me Jin," he stated calmly. He knew he was avoiding the question but he had no clue as to how to tell her!
She giggled a bit; the cold was finally getting to her. "Of course but what do you need to tell me?"
He breathed in deeply and exhaled. "I've developed an unhealthy obsession with longing to know how you feel about..." he trailed off.
Angela looked up at him expectantly and urged him to continue.
He started over, the words spilling from his mouth. "I've developed an unhealthy obsession with longing to know how you feel about me. Because, truthfully, I can't stop thinking about you...I'm in love with you."
Her eyes widened to unbelievable lengths and her mouth was agape. She didn't reply and kept looking at him. "Wha..."
Jin stood in front of her, waiting for an answer but when he received none, his head drooped. "I-I understand," he murmured lightly and turned to walk away, avoiding the patch of ice before him.
He was halfway down the hill before he heard Angela yelling to him. "Jin, wait!"
Turning around, he saw her run down the hill after him. He opened his mouth to warn her about the patch of ice but was too late when he saw her slip and roll down the hill. Jin stared in horror as she rolled past him and crashed into a fence. Swiftly, he walked down the hill and crouched next to her. He placed his hands on her shoulder and gently shook her.
She didn't respond and panic spread through his body. Gently, he picked her up and carried her to Meringue Clinic. He knocked on the door, hoping Irene was still there and hadn't left yet.
"Who is it? The clinic is closed," Irene stated before she spotted her grandson covered in snow carrying Angela's unconscious body.
"Dear Goddess, what happened, Jin?" Irene asked as she led him to an examine room, the same one that Angela was in the last time she had gotten hurt.
"She slipped on a patch of ice and crashed into a fence," Jin explained, taking his stethoscope out and checking her breathing. Irene didn't question him as to how he knew and why he as the one that carried her here.
"Her breathing is stable, heart rate is stable and her blood pressure is normal. We'll just have to wait until she wakes up to make sure she doesn't have a concussion," Irene explained, her eyes watching Jin the whole time.
He nodded his head slowly, his gaze remaining on Angela's face. "This is my entire fault, if only I had warned her or if I hadn't walked away," Jin thought to himself, as a look of anguish in his eyes.
Irene noticed the awkward silence that hung in the air and quietly walked out of the room. Jin didn't notice and slid into a chair beside the bed. He clasped her hand and watched her sleeping form.

Some time passed and Jin had dozed off. He awoke with a start, alarm filling his eyes when Angela was still unconscious. He sighed and took her hand. "Angela..." he whispered.
She stirred and opened her eyes, wincing slightly at the bright light. "Jin," she mumbled, staring up at him. He looked shocked and dropped her hand. She frowned and tilted her head.
"I-I'm sorry," he said lightly before picking up the clipboard that had her stats on it. He picked up his pen and wrote on it, pretending to be focusing on it.
"Owww," Angela moaned as she sat up, her right hand on her forehead. Immediately, Jin rushed to her side, his eyebrows creased and a concerned look in his eyes.
"Are you okay? Where does it hurt?" Jin asked quickly.
An amused look appeared on her face and she shook her head, causing burning pain in her head. The amused look quickly gave way to pain and her eyes watered. She moaned again.
"Lie back down against the pillow. It should make the pain not as strong," Jin instructed.
She did as he said and some of the pain disappeared but most was still present. "Ughh."
He handed her a glass of water and a pill. "That should help you with the headache. We're going to keep you here for a day just to make sure you haven't suffered a concussion," Jin explained, writing down headache onto her medical file.
Angela nodded her head slowly. He looked at her and said, "I'll leave you to rest."
He headed for the door and she quickly sat up, her head protested by setting off more pain. She cried out loud and he rushed back to her side.
"Angela! Don't get up unless it's necessary or you're going to feel more pain," Jin scolded.
She looked up at him meekly. "But it was necessary," she mumbled quietly.
He heard her and looked at her, "what did you just say?"
"I said it was necessary," Angela repeated.
"Why was it necessary?"
"Because you were leaving," she replied simply.
A stunned look crossed his face and she smiled at him. "I-I never did to get reply earlier," she said, a deep blush on her face.
He just stared at her, puzzled. "You didn't answer me earlier. I thought that you..." Jin trailed off.
She shook her head, no. "I was in shock and couldn't think of anything to say. I-I love you too, Jin," Angela said with confidence.
Fire burned in her eyes and he smiled. "I am glad that is your answer." Jin walked up closer to her and sat on the edge of the bed. He leaned towards her and placed a kiss on her forehead. A giggle escaped her lips and she beamed at him.

"Do you, Angela, take Jin to be your husband in sickness and in health, for forever as you both shall live?
"I do."
"Do you, Jin, take Angela to be your wife in sickness and in health, for forever as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"I now pronounce you as husband and wife! Congratulations to you both and may your journey in life together be merry!"
The black haired doctor looked at his newly wedded wife with adoration shining in his eyes. She looked back him, her eyes light and a bright smile on her face. "Kiss me..."
"Gladly," he breathed as he leaned in and placed his mouth on hers. Their eyes fluttered shut when their mouths made contact. Everyone watched the two of them seal their marriage with the kiss and applauded.
"I love you, Angela."
"I love you too, Jin. Forever and for always."
