Blood was oozing from the slightly lifted sticker.
Meanwhile, in the director’s office.
Sori, who had been questioned about her relationship with Hyunwoo, fell silent for a moment.
Even if she were caught, she seemed genuinely unaware, as if she were asking for the first time. If that were the case, it wasn’t too late to respond after consulting with Hyunwoo.
“Do I have to answer such personal questions to the director?”
“I was worried you might muddy the waters in the hospital. I’m also concerned about Professor Seo’s reputation.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. Professor Seo is not only the older brother of my close friend but also the professor I like and respect the most. There will never be anything that causes harm to such a person.”
“Really?”
Sunhwa elongated the corners of her eyes. Up to this point, Yoo Sori’s words matched not only Seo Hyunwoo’s, but also the content of Director Seo Gukhwan’s call.
If they weren’t in an advanced romantic relationship, was Seo Hyunwoo really showing off?
Or was Seo Hyunwoo the only one interested in Yoo Sori?
Either way, it was unpleasant, but it seemed like there might be enough gaps to exploit.
“I hope you listen to what I say without misunderstanding from now on.”
Sunhwa said, lifting her coffee cup leisurely.
“Do you know that our hospital’s kidney transplant center is almost in the top three in the country in terms of scale and skill?”
“Well, of course, I know.”
“There was a lot of talk when the center was established. It seems that the medical conditions in our country are still not that good. Anything we establish overflows with patients.”
Sunhwa sighed deeply and looked directly into Sori’s eyes as she spoke.
“But it bothers me a bit.”
“…?”
Sori suddenly couldn’t grasp the context of the conversation.
“Why did you let Yoo Sori’s mother go to another hospital instead of bringing her to our hospital?”
“What…?”
“Is that…?”
Sori was suddenly at a loss as to what the context was.
“Why did you
The expression on Sori’s face seemed like she might collapse at any moment as she left the director’s office.
She walked aimlessly to distance herself from the director’s office.
So, Baek Sunhwa seemed to have called me to wake me up. She advised me not to talk nonsense and to pull myself together when my mom is sick, especially in front of Seo Hyunwoo.
If that was her intention, she was halfway successful. Sori was deeply shocked.
Her restless hands became cold. She wrapped her complex thoughts with both hands.
Pull yourself together and think.
Mom is sick. Hyunwoo knows that.
So, everyone knew except for me.
With trembling hands, she took out her phone from her pocket. In a hurry, she called Suhyang.
Yeah, daughter.
It was the same old voice. If she hadn’t heard such news, she wouldn’t have doubted Suhyang’s usual cheerful voice.
But if she were to suddenly ask where it hurts, what would Suhyang say? If Baek Sunhwa’s words were true, there was only one reason she hadn’t told me.
Simply because she didn’t want to worry me.
“…What’s Mom doing?”
Oh, nothing much. I felt my face was a bit swollen, so I was in the middle of a lymphatic massage.
“At home?”
Yes, at home. I’m going in for the first shooting of a short play the day after tomorrow.
For some reason, tears wanted to come out. Despite not having confirmed anything yet, Sori began to feel anxious at the thought.
I only have my mom as family…
No, it might not be true.
Baek Sunhwa might have said something strange. Yes, there’s no way.
Why did you suddenly call at this hour? Is it not the hospital?
“Just… I was thinking of going home tonight.”
To see Mom?
“Yeah.”
Instead of that, should I go see Mom?
“Mom?”
She suddenly remembered that she had never invited Suhyang after she left.
For various reasons, and because it wasn’t a real marriage, she had postponed her mom’s visit.
But now there was no need for that.
Is Professor Seo being a bit troublesome?
“No, no. Come, Mom.”
Really? Then I’ll contact you while leaving work. I’ll be getting ready.
“Yeah. See you at home, Mom.”
Today, seeing Mom and Hyunwoo might reveal something. She could judge it then.
Sori decided to calm down.
Sori was in a hurry to leave work today. But even though she hurried, it was already past 8 p.m.
Since she invited Suhyang, Hyunwoo said he would go home first. With him there, it was somewhat fortunate.
Sori even caught a taxi, which she rarely took in her urgent state.
If it’s true, what should I do? How should I tell the two people who tried to hide it? Worries spread in that direction.
Calming her mind, she pressed the six-digit password.
Upon entering the entrance, his shoes and mom’s shoes were lined up side by side. It seemed like Suhyang was already here.
No one came out to see if they didn’t hear Sori’s approach. Sori ended up entering the house quietly.
From the kitchen, a lively conversation was heard.
“I bought ingredients because I was going to cook.”
“Mom, you’re the guest, and how can guests cook? Please have a seat.”
“Professor Seo, you know I can’t cook. Is that why you’re worried I won’t be able to eat dinner?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m extremely hungry right now. Since it’s my familiar kitchen, I can do it quickly. Please invite me to your house later.”
“I can’t refute anything.”
Just as Sori was about to greet them with “I’m here,”
“But Professor Seo, what happened today? Your expression didn’t look good when we met.”
“Me? My expression wasn’t good?”
“Don’t tell me you made that expression again in front of me? Don’t do that in front of Sori.”
“Of course not. I’ll be careful.”
What on earth did these two do? The short conversation confirmed that everything Baek Sunhwa said was true.
Tears welled up in an instant.
Really, like a fool, I was the only one who didn’t know.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
