Leaving the duty room, the destination is…
The sound of footsteps, walking aimlessly down the corridor, turned the head quickly, scanning left and right.
Despite bursting into tears, she had come out, but she didn’t have a clear destination in mind.
There might be colleagues in the ICU.
Restroom? Linen room? Breakroom?
Her wandering feet couldn’t decide where to go.
Eventually, she reached the elevator and pressed the button. Staring at the already lit yellow button, she pressed it continuously, looking at the numbers.
Hurry up, come quickly.
However, soon, the hand that touched the button could no longer press it.
Because she was caught by Hyunwoo.
“Where are you wandering off to? Get in.”
“I have to check the vitals of the ICU patient.”
“I’ll do that on my way. Everything’s fine. Close your eyes for a moment.”
“…”
It’s the duty room. She didn’t know why Seo Hyunwoo wasn’t going home.
Without responding, she stood in front of him, not even knowing what expression she had.
In the deep dawn, the hospital interior was eerily silent.
Hyunwoo was the first to break the ensuing silence.
“Whatever the reason is, talk about it now.”
“This is a hospital. I know how to distinguish between work and personal matters.”
“This doesn’t seem like an attitude of distinction.”
“…”
She was well aware that her words and actions were contradictory.
The professor has been receiving criticism for a day or two, but I don’t know why today I feel so out of control.
Even though I acknowledge that his words are entirely correct, strangely, my mood keeps plummeting.
Am I someone who easily succumbs to emotions and loses composure? Then, can I really become a good doctor?
No, what does it even mean to be a good doctor?
Trying to organize my thoughts was overwhelming.
Perhaps the frustration comes from being unable to properly refute Hyunwoo’s words.
To the professor, who is like the sky, I am just an ignorant resident.
To Seohyunwoo, whom I don’t like, I was nothing more than a lover who couldn’t distinguish work and personal matters.
“Get in. Don’t wander around for no reason.”
Seeing no sign of her speaking, he swallowed a sigh and spoke in a suppressed voice.
Don’t cry, get in, go away.
Always doing as he pleased.
Even though we were clearly lovers, it felt like he was treating me too much like a younger sibling.
It didn’t seem like this with Professor Lee Jieun.
As childish thoughts accumulated, I completely lost control of my facial expressions.
Is it really crazy for me to have this true rebellious and boiling young heart?
Has he become more affectionate since becoming my lover?
Feeling the precariousness but unable to contain these complex emotions, she couldn’t help but let them out.
“You must really like being a professor.”
“What?”
“You can do anything you want.”
It was merely a twisted complaint, picking a fight with the current situation.
“Come here, go, don’t cry.”
Well, that seemed to be a bit dissatisfying. It seemed sad.
Lifting her head for a moment, she exhaled a short breath through her nostrils into the air. He reached out.
Once again, her wrist was caught by his hand.
He tried to lead her to the duty room, but Soni, with a stubborn face, didn’t even blink.
“Let go of this hand, please.”
Reluctantly, she twisted her arm and freed herself from Hyunwoo’s grip.
His face gradually cooled down. A faint annoyance gathered on his forehead.
“Stop with the commands, okay?”
“Commands?”
“Yes. Whether I go somewhere now or not, that’s my business.”
Whatever I do with my body, wherever I go, what does it matter to him?
Hyunwoo, wet with embarrassment, remained frozen in his posture and expression.
Passing by the frozen Hyunwoo, Soni stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him.
“I feel inferior. I always feel like that in front of the professor.”
“Suddenly feeling inferior.”
“You wouldn’t know. You’ve probably never felt inferior before.”
“Stop with the nonsense, Yoo Soni.”
“Yes. My inferiority is probably nonsense to you, Professor. I understand.”
Turning away as Hyunwoo’s eyes gradually turned hostile, she ignored him.
Emotions preceded, not bothering to listen to his words to the end and distorting the meaning as she pleased.
“Do as you wish. Fine.”
His voice, unable to suppress emotions, came from behind.
It was the first fight that started with her nagging.
The next day’s duty for So-ri continued as usual.
Fortunately, perhaps due to a short nap of a few hours, her condition was not entirely out of order. Of course, her mind and heart were completely out of order.
While walking through the ward, So-ri met Min-guk, who came for his first checkup after being discharged.
Min-guk’s first checkup required him to stay overnight. Seeing him already wearing patient clothes, it seemed he had received his room assignment as well.
“Did you do well?”
“Yes. And Sam?”
“As you can see. I’m so busy I can’t even wash properly, becoming unsightly.”
Min-guk nodded sincerely without falsehood.
“What? Are you agreeing that I’m unsightly?”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
