Teacher Ok looked puzzled at the soup bowl, but Sulhee had no intention of revealing her misconception. She felt like she would die of embarrassment.
“Sulhee, were you okay yesterday?”
Every time staff members entered the hospital, they asked Sulhee how much she drank yesterday, leaving her face reddened without a word.
Embarrassed by her behavior at yesterday’s company dinner, where she drank too much, partly because her uncle had paired her with Teacher Ok, Sulhee bit her lip.
The manager and young technician, Chaerin, were chatting while organizing supplies. Sulhee approached to help, and Chaerin, while habitually placing medicine boxes on the shelf, asked the manager,
“But about yesterday. Wasn’t Teacher Ok’s reaction a bit strange?”
“Huh, what do you mean? He seemed normal to me.”
“No. When he heard about the new vet joining, his face turned really stern.”
Sulhee listened to their conversation, tilting her head in thought.
She recalled the fleeting expression on Eunwoo’s face during the drinks at yesterday’s dinner.
The new vet coming in. Was it Choi I-hyun?
He was Teacher Ok’s junior, and though he didn’t seem to dislike him, the twisted expression on his face said everything. There must have been something.
While the three were talking, footsteps approached from behind.
Was it Teacher Ok?
They all fell silent. However, it was Teacher Choi who entered. As everyone turned around, surprised and silent, Teacher Choi tilted her head.
“What’s going on?”
“We were just talking about the new teacher and Teacher Ok.”
“Ah…….”
Hearing this, Teacher Choi sighed.
“Wasn’t it a bit strange? Teacher Ok’s reaction. I felt it too.”
“Yes, it wasn’t like the usual Teacher Ok.”
“I should have told him sooner. I’m pregnant and I should have told Teacher Ok right away… But I’m older, you know. I was worried it might be risky, so I kept delaying until it was over 16 weeks, then had to find someone urgently. But when I asked that… Choi I-hyun teacher, he said they were on good terms. Strange.”
“Why would that be? Teacher Ok is particular, but he’s not someone who dislikes people without reason.”
Teacher Choi, who usually managed the clinic since the director, Sulhee’s uncle, mostly handled management and rarely saw patients, would be absent due to maternity leave…
Teacher Ok would be the highest-ranking vet, and Sulhee worried about how it would be. At her sigh, Teacher Choi smiled.
“Are you worried, Sulhee?”
“A bit.”
“Well, you’ll have to lead the hospital. Ha-ha.”
Teacher Choi’s joke made Sulhee blush. The joke implied marriage with Teacher Ok.
“That’s too much of a joke.”
“Sorry, sorry. Just that yesterday’s talk was so funny.”
Sulhee waved her hands in alarm, and then the manager asked her with a sly smile,
“So, how far have you two gone?”
The conversation about the new vet quickly turned into gossip about a potential romance in the clinic.
How far have we gone, us?
Sulhee watched Eunwoo, who was attending a patient. His usually neatly combed hair was slightly disheveled, with a few strands falling over his smooth forehead. His lips curved beautifully as he smiled at the pet owner sitting in front of him.
“Mrs. Ddung’s owner, Ddung’s skin condition has almost cleared up. Thanks to your consistent medication and using the medicated shampoo for baths, he’s very clean now.”
“Oh, really? It hadn’t healed for a year, but it got better in just two months after coming to Dolmarae Animal Hospital. It’s all thanks to Teacher Ok.”
“Not at all. It’s because you took good care of him.”
The black French Bulldog on the examination table happily wiggled its body.
When it first came, it had scabs all over its skin, constantly scratching itself restlessly. Now fully recovered, the owner happily carried the French Bulldog, saying goodbye with a bright face.
Teacher Ok, who had been warmly smiling as he saw the owner off, then shifted his gaze to the chart. Sulhee, disinfecting equipment, stole glances at Teacher Ok.
What is our relationship, really?
In a daze, we kissed, and even had breakfast together. Teacher Ok confessed… Am I supposed to respond now?
I stared intensely at Teacher Ok.
He’s handsome. Annoying and nagging at times, but impressive when it comes to work. I remembered the time, not long ago, when a dog had swallowed a foreign object, causing an emergency, and Teacher Ok had to perform urgent surgery.
Amidst the chaos, with the owner screaming and the dog struggling for breath, its mouth turning purple, Teacher Ok completed the surgery calmly.
Looking at him makes my heart uneasy and my thoughts jumbled. It’s not just pure happiness; it’s more like the feeling when a Viking ship reaches its highest point, a sense of fluttering unease.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
