She wondered why Sehun was angry at her, the only one who received praise, instead of Maeng Ki Tae. Sori resolved to be more cautious in everything she did.
She worried about how her actions might affect Hyun Woo if their relationship were revealed in the future.
Especially when meeting Hyun Woo in the hospital or running into him by chance, she decided not to show too much affection.
No, better not to go near the professor at all.
Yet, as she naturally thought of Hyun Woo, she found herself wanting to see him again already.
But even though he might be close by, she couldn’t just go to him as she pleased.
It felt like a thief conscious of their own guilt.
Recently, she had even found herself looking around several times before entering his office.
A secret romance was distinctly different from a one-sided crush.
Yet they shared a commonality.
Both a crush and a romance were equally challenging for her.
“Sigh.”
It was then that she saw Hyun Woo standing in front of the nurse station.
Oh? It’s the professor!
Her heart leapt with joy, and despite her recent resolution, she almost ran towards him but stopped abruptly.
I decided not to do this.
Just a few minutes ago, she had resolved to be more careful.
Hiding behind the wall near the elevator, Sori peered out just enough to watch him. She wanted to see his face to her heart’s content.
He listened to a nurse’s story and responded succinctly. He looked so admirable that Sori’s lips curved into a smile.
Despite Professor Seo Hyun Woo’s tendency for brief responses, his answers were always correct. That’s why, even though the nurses were intimidated by him, they always sought him out whenever there was an issue.
He might have been cold, but he never showed dislike.
However, the fact that more and more people were recognizing Hyun Woo’s charm was not entirely welcome to Sori.
Lately, the nurses seemed to be showing more familiarity towards him.
Today was no different, with nurses eagerly trying to offer him something.
Listening in, Sori heard:
“Do you want some rice cakes? How about some milk? If you haven’t had breakfast, would you like some grapes? They’re seedless, so easy to eat.”
“Our professor takes good care of his diet. We had Greek yogurt with strawberries and a chicken breast salad for breakfast, you know?”
Sori watched her man from behind the wall, her eyes narrowing. To an outsider, it might look like she was about to bust a cheating scene.
‘Surely he won’t accept it? He dislikes snacks outside his planned diet.’
She believed that, but then:
The nurse persistently offering something was finally seen slipping a long item into his pocket.
‘No way, Nurse Kim is crossing a line. She’s putting her hand in another man’s pocket.’
Sori puffed her cheeks in frustration.
Then a patient approached Hyun Woo, another woman, seemingly in pain, clutching her head.
Hyun Woo examined her with a serious expression, checking her pulse and complexion.
Sori puffed up her cheeks even more at the sight of Hyun Woo being so attentive to a seemingly malingering patient.
‘She should be lying in bed if she’s in pain. Why is she wandering around?’
Sori was surprised at herself for harboring such thoughts, quickly covering her mouth with her hands.
‘What am I thinking? Aren’t you a doctor, Yoo Sori? Were you always this petty?’
Feeling jealous of a patient? She could be genuinely ill.
Everyone sang praises of Seo Hyun Woo from afar, but were hesitant and struggled to approach him.
That was the impression, until now.
But apparently, that wasn’t the case.
Sori sighed quietly, straightened up, and leaned against the wall.
‘Why can’t I go to him when he’s right there?’
Suddenly, her lower lip jutted out.
Taking out her phone, she sent a triumphant message to him.
[Professor, must be nice to be so popular!]As she leaned against the wall next to the elevator, unable to go or stay.
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of her.
“What have you been doing here all this time?”
“Ah, you scared me.”
It was Seo Hyun Woo.
How he got there without her noticing, Hyun Woo looked at the sulking Sori with a puzzled expression.
“Why that face?”
“Read the message first.”
“Message?”
He finally took out his phone from his coat pocket and checked the message that had just arrived from Sori.
A smile formed in his eyes as he read the screen.
“Stop this here, come with me for a moment.”
“No, I don’t want to.”
“You don’t want to?”
Surprised by her unexpected response, Hyun Woo raised an eyebrow and turned back to stand in front of Sori.
Sori glanced around, conscious of their surroundings.
Just as some interns passed by, Sori bowed her head and adopted a respectful posture.
To anyone watching, it would have appeared that she was a resident getting scolded by the professor.
Seeing this, Hyun Woo let out a small sigh.
He pulled his hand out of his pocket, which he had neatly tucked away. Sori watched his languid movements closely.
As his hand rose, Sori instinctively crossed her arms in front of her chest, but…
