Hyunwoo checked Hyunsuk’s condition, who was only looking at Eunseok sitting on the floor.
At that moment, Hyunsuk’s eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness.
Hyunwoo’s research lab.
After Hyunsuk’s emergency surgery, Eunseok came to find Hyunwoo.
He had come here on his own, and Eunseok stood for a long time without saying anything, shaking his head deeply.
In the long silence, Hyunwoo, who was tidying up various documents, buried his back deeply into the desk chair.
Although he knew why Hong Eunseok was acting like that, he finally spoke first.
“Did you come because you have something to say?”
Hyunwoo pressed his forehead with his hand and looked up at Eunseok standing in front of the desk.
Eunseok, whose mouth had been tightly closed, finally spoke with difficulty.
“I came to express my gratitude.”
If you hadn’t found my grandmother, I would have waited for my aunt without even knowing that my grandmother was in critical condition.
In a moment of wrong choice, a terrible thing might have happened right in front of my eyes.
If that had happened, I would never have forgiven myself for fleeing the emergency room, thinking that my grandmother with dementia was embarrassing.
“Thank you for finding my grandmother and for performing the surgery.”
“Gratitude should be expressed to Doctor Yoo So-ri, not me.”
“…What?”
Eunseok, who had lowered his head, raised it to look at Hyunwoo.
“If it weren’t for Doctor Yoo So-ri, it would have been Patient Shin Hyunsuk. No, it would have been the situation where Dr. Hong Eunseok’s grandmother needed surgery, and I wouldn’t have even known.”
“…”
To Yoo So-ri, who had roamed the hospital like crazy looking for the missing grandmother in the emergency room, taking the CT of a patient without a guardian and disappeared from the emergency room.
“Yes. I will express my gratitude.”
Even after the response, Eunseok stood still like a statue, waiting for Hyunwoo’s words.
He had avoided showing any flaws to anyone throughout his difficult medical school life. The same was true for his mother, who took care of him alone.
For the first time today, he revealed his own shortcomings to others. He was experiencing such a complex feeling for the first time.
“Anything else to say?”
“…Why don’t you ask?”
“What should I ask?”
Without an answer, a short silence intervened in the conversation that had been going on with questions.
Hyunwoo, who always spoke in a consistently dry voice, looked at Eunseok with a quite firm face.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t ask me to ask.”
Eunseok realized. He wanted to justify his cowardly actions with some excuse.
“Hong Eunseok.”
At Hyunwoo’s call, looking at Eunseok’s eyes directly, Hyunwoo continued.
“There’s a saying that everyone has at least one skeleton hidden in the closet at home.”
“…”
It was a saying that everyone carries at least one flaw they want to hide.
“However, even if I say I understand why you did it, the fact that your shameful behavior wasn’t justified is the problem.”
Hyunwoo’s words were correct. Eunseok felt embarrassed by himself, who was undeniably different today.
“Alzheimer’s. A progressive brain nerve disease characterized by gradual deterioration of memory and cognitive function, and fundamentally, language disorders and abnormal behavior. Although modern medicine can delay its progression, it is one of the diseases that cannot be completely cured.”
“…”
“Just in case.”
“I know.”
“Then, don’t embarrass the patient. You’re a doctor.”
Eunseok’s bowed head dropped even more sharply when he felt a stab of conscience.
He couldn’t lift his head, thinking about how much the doctors in the emergency room today must have felt distressed because of him.
“I’m sorry.”
As Eunseok’s self-blame was palpable, Hyunwoo didn’t say anything more.
Because everyone can make mistakes at least once in their lifetime.
“Since I don’t want to see you, just leave.”
1 a.m.
After completing all the treatments for the overwhelming patients, a calm time finally arrived.
Under the pretext of excuses, the sound of swapping shifts with Kitaeh and changing duty orders lingered gloomily in the duty room alone.
Upon hearing the news that they found and successfully completed surgery on Grandma Shin Hyunsuk, despite being happy, the mood was not good.
Right away, it was because of Seo Hyunwoo.
He was scared by the emergency exit, and shortly after, the shocking sound that felt like getting hit on the head by an oncoming internal broadcast.
And right away, Seo Hyunwoo, who found out about Hyunsuk’s whereabouts and successfully completed emergency surgery, even with a high risk of subdural hemorrhage and performing surgery on an elderly patient without error.
“Really. Really. So annoying…”
The sound hit the forehead on the cold wooden surface as it spilled over the table.
Without thinking about crying like a child and thinking about broadcasting, he stirred up and roamed around the entire hospital.
And he scolded Seo Hyunwoo.
In reality, he didn’t really do anything but make a fuss.
Feeling ashamed and pathetic, when he suddenly felt inferior, a sudden burst of inferiority exploded.
Seo Hyunwoo’s cold rationality and innate skills were well known to be envied.
It was just that his own pettiness stood out more, which was the problem.
Feeling so annoyed for the first time like this was confusing.
“I’m depressed.”
I don’t know. Why am I like this?
The phone that suddenly fell on the table was sliding off by vibration. I looked at the screen with a vacant expression.
It was Seo Hyunwoo.
Why a call at this hour?
I really didn’t want to answer the phone with this kind of feeling.
Especially if it was Seo Hyunwoo.
I used to wish he would run to see me even in the middle of the night, but now my mind was filled with sour thoughts.
[3 Missed Calls]I just stared blankly at the phone that stopped vibrating, and the sound was more listless than ever.
Even though I skipped dinner and worked, I didn’t even know if I was hungry.
“Who wanted someone to understand. Why are you acting so childish, really.”
If Hyunwoo could understand my feelings, maybe I wouldn’t feel so down.
I should’ve hoped for it. To understand what?
Am I supposed to be praised for volunteering as a college student? What did you do well?
Annoyed at the thought of just being pitiful, I suddenly exploded with inferiority.
“Leave the chicken and beer. I don’t feel like it.”
Thinking that Kitaeh, who had been talking about chicken and beer all evening in the emergency room, had come to see me, I spoke without even looking at him.
“I’m sorry, but can you leave? I just want to be alone right now.”
“Why do you want to be alone?”
“…?”
Turning my head towards the voice owner, the eyes of the sound turned larger because it was Seo Hyunwoo standing in front of the door instead of Kitaeh.
“Haven’t you finished your shift yet?”
Without answering, he took a few steps with his long legs and approached the sound. He woke up the phone screen, which was lying awkwardly on the table.
His gaze intensified as he looked down at the three missed calls with his name on the screen.
Seated sideways on the table, Hyunwoo turned off the phone screen again and said, “You’ve grown a lot, Yoo Sori. You know how to ignore my calls.”
In response, the sound pushed the chair back and stood up. Facing Hyunwoo, who was sitting at the table, she said, “If you call at this hour, nobody will answer!”
Suddenly, he swiftly grabbed his phone and left the duty room.
A breeze swept into the duty room. Hyunwoo’s eyebrows furrowed.
It was right before the first fight erupted between the lovers.
