It was true. Jin Ho was a bit wooden when it came to dating women. Eun Woo had never seen him ask anyone for such a favor.
However.
It was tricky to get involved in such things within the hospital. Who was there at that spot? Eun Woo pulled his hand away swiftly and asked.
“Who.”
“What?”
“There were several women there. Who are you talking about?”
Surely it wasn’t Yu Seol Hee that he had seen that day, it was more likely to be the manager, Mi Jin, or the technician, Chae Rin. When Eun Woo did not outright reject him, Jin Ho answered, blushing.
“The, one with short hair…….”
“Ah.”
Eun Woo, who had figured out who it was, shook his head.
“No.”
It was Miss Chae Rin. As soon as he knew who it was, he flatly refused. Jin Ho lowered his head, looking downcast at Eun Woo’s reaction.
“Why? Does she have a boyfriend?”
“Chae Rin is 24 years old.”
“What?”
“She’s only 24 years old.”
She didn’t have a boyfriend as far as he knew, but she was still too young for Jin Ho, who was now 30 years old. Eun Woo, who had seen Chae Rin since she graduated from high school, still found her too young and was not eager.
“What’s wrong with a 6year difference, huh? In the old days, they didn’t even check compatibility with a 6year difference.”
“That’s nonsense. It’s a 4year difference.”
Jin Ho bowed his head to Eun Woo’s unyielding answer. He licked his lips and sighed.
“Sigh…….”
“…….”
“Sigh……. I really like her.”
He hung his head in defeat and remained still for a while. His sigh was so long that it seemed to have a tail.
His head was pounding, aching.
Although they had been squabbling since they were students, Jin Ho was a good guy. He was a bit large, but he was neat looking, he had a steady job and good manners. He was deephearted.
What to do? After a moment of hesitation, Eun Woo extended his hand.
“Hand it over.”
“What?”
“Business card. I’ll just pass it to Miss Chae Rin. If she doesn’t contact you, stop bothering her forever. I won’t let you off if you harass Miss Chae Rin even after she rejects you.”
“Oh, really! Are you giving it to her? Thank you. That’s all I need.”
Jin Ho, blushing, handed his business card to Eun Woo. Eun Woo snatched it and put it in his wallet.
“We’ll go Dutch on the meal. I haven’t done anything to owe you a meal.”
He didn’t want to feel indebted to him for introducing her. Only then did Eun Woo raise his hand to call the waiter.
((()))((()))((()))
She was choking, choking.
At lunchtime, Seol Hee had no appetite and simply put the triangle kimbap she had bought into her mouth. Despite gulping down water, the rice was dry and her throat felt blocked.
No, it wasn’t because of the triangle kimbap. The reason Seol Hee’s throat was blocked was because of today’s big news. The story about Dr. Ok’s ‘girl he likes’, which began with Jin Ho’s visit in the morning, had pervaded the hospital all day long.
“Dr. Ok has a girlfriend.”
“I heard that, too.”
People would whisper as soon as they gathered. The dull animal hospital was a place where nothing happened.
The number of working staff was only about 10, and they were friendly with each other, so there was usually no incident or accident. But the bomb that was thrown, Dr. Ok’s love story. Of course, it gathered attention.
“Seol Hee, isn’t it amazing?”
“……Yes.”
That Eun Woo had no one he liked, that all of this was a lie to deceive Eun Woo’s Aunt Jo and Seol Hee’s friends, and that the person who went to Wonderland with him that day was not someone else but the very Yu Seol Hee sitting in front of you.
Unable to tell all of that, Seol Hee simply swallowed her words. When she showed little reaction, Mi Jin tilted her head.
“Seol Hee doesn’t seem to find it interesting.”
“Ha ha.”
What should she say about this?
She felt awkward and just wiped her mouth with a napkin.
“It’s possible, Seol Hee only joined us recently and doesn’t know much about Dr. Ok. But…….”
Chae Rin, who had finished her lunch box, lifted her head.
“But, where did Ms. Ok go today? Did she have a lunch appointment?”
“Yes, she went to have lunch with a friend.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the door to the break room opened as if on cue. It was Eun Woo.
“Oh, Ms. Ok. You’re back.”
“Yes. I’m back.”
Eun Woo entered the room with an uneasy look on his face, contrasting with the calm demeanor he had when he left. He let out a light sigh after entering.
“Haah.”
“Why the sudden sigh?”
At Mi Jin’s question, Eun Woo seemed puzzled, scratching his face before turning towards Chae Rin.
“Ms. Chae Rin. You can reject it, or just discard it immediately. But I already accepted the request.”
“What’s the matter?”
“The friend who visited the hospital earlier said she likes you, Chae Rin. She asked if you’re interested, could you please contact her.”
“Ah.”
“Well, here’s her business card.”
And so, Eun Woo handed out the business card.
“Wow.”
So Ms. Ok’s friend liked Chae Rin. Fascinated, Seol Hee and Mi Jin gathered around Chae Rin.
Chae Rin, although surprised, didn’t seem to dislike his interest. She held the business card, her face flushing as she replied in a stuttering voice, “I’ll contact her.”
“I wonder who Ms. Chae Rin has charmed?”
“Must be because she’s pretty, right?”
“That’s right? Even we can tell that Chae Rin is very pretty.”
After chattering for a while, Mi Jin suddenly lifted her head and looked at Eun Woo.
“Which part of her did you find attractive, Ms. Ok? The woman you said you liked. I’m curious. Your preference, Ms. Ok.”
At the sudden focus on him, one of Eun Woo’s eyebrows arched up.
“Did Ms. Ok also focus on the face? Is she an incredibly beautiful woman?”
Seol Hee’s mouth went dry as she felt like she was talking about herself, even though he wasn’t really interested in her. Then, Eun Woo’s gaze moved smoothly from Mi Jin to Seol Hee. He spoke with a slight twist in his lips.
“Well…”
“……”
“I just like everything about her.”
“……”
“From her face to everything else.”

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
