After the surgery, Sori, who said she would come to the lab, seemed to have gotten busy, and there was no news from her.
She probably took a moment to come and see my face.
Should I send her a message?
[What are you doing? I couldn’t see you in the ward.]The soon-to-arrive message had only numbers written on it. Hyunwoo raised an eyebrow.
“What’s with this ‘007’ nonsense?”
Failing to decipher the numbers, Hyunwoo sat on the sofa, feeling a bit stiff.
Just then, he heard a knock, and someone sneakily poked their head in. It was Yoo Sori, still wearing her surgical mask and hat. Recognizing her face, he asked,
“You came all the way here?”
“Shh! Wait a moment.”
She turned around and entered the lab from the hallway. She seemed to be checking outside the door.
Phew, laughter burst out.
Her actions were quite suspicious and would attract attention. Why is she doing that?
She talked about moving the hospital, but why has her guard become stronger? Her behavior was so cute that it drove him crazy.
“Professor, ah, have you been waiting long?”
“Why are you so out of breath?”
“I met someone on the way and had to take a detour. I’m sorry for being late.”
Sori came into the lab and then took off her mask and hat. Her eyes were a bit red, probably from the strain in the operating room.
“Only took you two minutes to run from the main building here.”
“Why did you run?”
“It looked urgent.”
“What did you say?”
“It was a bit urgent.”
Hehe, smiling, Sori approached and sat next to Hyunwoo. As soon as she sat down, she slightly turned her body toward him.
Hyunwoo, with his hat on, had a messy head, so she brushed it with her hand.
“Why did you run around so much? You barely ate anything.”
“Because of Professor Ah, I ate a lot. It was like feeding livestock. How much hay do you plan to feed me?”
“If I raise you, what use do I have for you?”
Sori tilted her eyes without malice, pointing to her lips with her fingers.
“Still, you must have some use.”
Hyunwoo lightly kissed Sori’s complaining lips. Holding her recently warmer hand tightly, he pulled her closer.
“How about some candy?”
“What kind of candy do you have?”
Hyunwoo took out a strawberry-vanilla-flavored stick candy from his lab coat pocket.
“Why did you buy this?”
“It reminded me of you. Weren’t you occasionally chewing on these at the hospital?”
“Busted.”
“I’ve seen it once or twice.”
He had never bought such a useless sugar lump with his money before. Lately, whenever he went to the convenience store, he strangely noticed candy. She liked it, and whether in the hospital corridor, the garden, or the stairs during secret meetings, he wanted to give her something when parting, even if it was just a small token.
“Professor, you seem to have changed a lot. You treated this like trash.”
“As long as I feed you as much as you eat, it’s fine.”
For Yoo Sori, anything was a success as long as he fed her a lot, using various excuses.
Sori asked while twirling a lollipop on her finger, and Hyunwoo snatched it away from her.
“Should I open it?”
“No! Later, I’ll save it and eat it.”
“You save everything.”
“Because everything Professor gave me is precious.”
A light and carefree laughter filled the air. The face, certainly seen smiling in the morning, was smiling again. In a very brief moment, a feeling of fatigue pricked her.
“Do you have anything you want to eat for dinner tonight?”
“Tteokbokki?”
“Is that all you ever want to eat?”
“Tonkatsu?”
Hyunwoo shook his head sideways.
“I’ll give you one candy, so eat dinner without complaints.”
“Are you trying to buy me with something strange?”
Hyunwoo laughed meaningfully, pulled Sori’s face, and gently kissed her lips, which closed softly like candy.
Now, kisses were flowing like breaths in the middle of their conversation. Especially when they came to the hospital, that condition became even more serious.
“Um, by the way. I have something to tell Professor.”
“What is it?”
“Don’t be surprised.”
“What now? Did you get into an accident?”
“I didn’t get into an accident… but.”
Once she tried to speak, she hesitated on where to start.
“At that time, when I was throwing a fit at you, I missed the chance to tell you…”
Hyunwoo, feeling uneasy every time she acted like that, touched the end of her eyebrow with his fingertip and said,
“Don’t hesitate, just tell me. What is it?”
“Well, I met a celebrity named Jay by chance at the hospital. Out of the blue, he asked me for medical advice.”
“Medical advice?”
“Yes. So we exchanged contact information and consulted a few times. Suddenly, the movie director, who is appearing this time, asked to meet with me.”
After saying it, embarrassment grew.
“So?”
“Well… So, I’m saying that I might have to go meet that director soon. Is that okay?”
“So, are you asking for my opinion, or are you deciding and informing me right now?”
Due to Hyunwoo suddenly stiffening and lowering his voice, Sori’s body froze in response.
Should she have asked Professor for permission for this? For a moment, the buffering sound in her head only made her eyelids blink.
“No.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
