During the morning meeting at NS Surgery Department.
With the professors in attendance, a lengthy discussion was held while reviewing inpatient test images and photos.
The professors posed questions to the attending physicians, and the residents, serving as primary caregivers for the patients, were tense as they provided answers.
Why they diagnosed that way. And how they planned to treat moving forward.
If an answer was incorrect, the atmosphere turned rather tense.
Especially few residents could properly respond to Professor Seo Hyun Woo’s sharp questions.
An hour in, the residents were disheartened, having been criticized for their mistakes and errors in judgment.
And the finale of the day was marked by first-year resident Maeng Ki Tae.
“Get your heads straight.”
Department Head Park Seok Goo chuckled at an absurd mistake, commented, and left the Surgery Department first.
He was followed by fellow Seunghyuk and Hyun Woo.
Before Hyun Woo completely passed through the Surgery Department door, his eyes met with Sori’s.
He was expressionless but blinked slowly as if to greet her.
Sori, barely managing to restrain her smile, bowed politely in greeting.
Just his glance seemed to give her the strength to start her day energetically.
After the tense meeting concluded, the disheartened Ki Tae, who made the biggest mistake, apologized to his seniors.
“I’m sorry. I misinterpreted the X-ray.”
“Hey, if you don’t know, you should ask. What if you decide on your own and discharge a patient?”
Ki Tae’s mistake was largely the responsibility of the senior residents. Therefore, Jong Woo harshly criticized him.
“I’m sorry. I’ll go and talk to them again.”
Chief resident Sehun was irritated, thinking he had disappointed Head Park Seok Goo.
Recently, Park Seok Goo had overlooked several minor mistakes by the residents, but today he couldn’t let it go.
Professor Seo Hyun Woo was already out of reach, and from Sehun’s perspective, he needed to at least stay in the good graces of Head Park Seok Goo, the most powerful person in NS.
Holding a bunch of papers, Sehun slammed them on the table and shouted.
“Everyone under me, gather.”
All residents under the fourth-year Sehun lined up at his call. Sehun rolled the bunch of papers he was holding.
“Why is there not a single day that just passes smoothly?”
Thump! Thump!
“Do I really need to yell and scold for you to act properly? Huh?”
Thump! Thump! He hit each resident on the shoulder with the rolled papers.
Sehun’s already sharp eyes gleamed even more fiercely.
He glared alternately at Ki Tae and Jong Woo, then fixed his gaze on Sori.
In a meeting where everyone was being criticized, Yoo Sori was the only one who managed to escape unscathed.
Even though she could be overly ambitious and annoying at times, in moments like these, she always seemed the most competent.
She was the only one who responded well to Hyun Woo’s probing questions, and even Head Park seemed to take notice.
Why was it that Sori bothered and preoccupied Sehun so much?
Sehun glanced over the three disheartened men.
He remembered Ki Tae saying that Sori had caught the eye of Professor Seo Hyun Woo. Despite this, Sehun felt a subtle sense that Hyun Woo particularly trusted Sori.
This was evident as Hyun Woo often assigned Sori as the primary physician for most of his patients.
The excessive workload assigned to her might seem like favoritism to some, but Sori wondered if it might actually be Professor Seo Hyun Woo’s own way of showing affection and attention.
This thought made Sehun feel a tinge of jealousy.
“Hey, Yoo Sori.”
“Yes?”
Sehun suddenly called out to Sori, whose eyes widened in response.
“Especially you. Keep in mind that I’m watching you. Don’t get cocky just because you received some praise.”
“Understood.”
“The patients keep wandering around the hospital looking for Yoo Sori. Don’t make NS look bad. Behave properly. Got it?”
“Yes. I understand.”
Sori had unintentionally drawn attention in the emergency room a few times, leading to patients recognizing her, which Sehun also found displeasing.
“Don’t just say you understand. Be careful, you.”
Sehun growled as he came up close to Sori.
Sori shrank back even more.
For a while after, Sehun continued to lecture her specifically.
Sori thought about how Hyun Woo had tenderly cared for her in the morning and believed this too would pass.
She almost laughed, recalling how he fed her strawberries with a fork, saying, “Please have a strawberry.”
In the stern atmosphere, sensing danger, she bit her cheek to stop herself from smiling.
She thought she might be able to ignore Sehun’s nagging from now on.
This was indeed the power of love.
Exiting the department and rounding the wards, Sori felt a bit disheartened.
Though she wasn’t the one criticized in the meeting, it was she who had directly received Sehun’s scolding.
“Should I tell the professor?”
