Upon this, Hyunwoo abruptly stood up. His official tone flowed dryly.
“From now on, I’ll only perform surgery on scheduled patients. Find someone to replace me.”
Startled by the unexpected words, Sunhwa, who had been screaming, raised her head and asked. The momentary change in her expression was eerie.
“You’re going to abandon this hospital just because of one female doctor?”
“There are plenty of sick people in the world.”
It was a rather amusing story to him, as it wasn’t his hospital, and he had no interest in hospital management.
“Regardless of where a doctor works, once they fulfill their duties, that’s all.”
“No! Don’t go. Don’t go! Stay only in this hospital. Then, I won’t ask for anything.”
Stains spread and dripped from Baek Sunhwa’s face, sticking to her cheek.
Sunhwa’s state, with expressions and moods changing every few minutes, did not seem normal.
Hyunwoo, with a bitter expression, narrowed his forehead.
“Unfortunately, if Chairman Baek Jintae knows the condition of the Imperial Hospital director, there probably won’t be any doctors wanting to stay.”
That statement implied that the future of this hospital wouldn’t be so bright with Baek Sunhwa as the director.
“I’m curious about what decision Chairman Baek Jintae, who hears my words, will make.”
He left the director’s office with this final warning to Baek Sunhwa.
Sunhwa’s screaming echoed through the thick wall.
MAG Hotel Lounge.
The sound of leaving the hospital was aimlessly wandering around the hotel, killing time here and there.
Eventually, he entered a café with a good view and took a seat by the window.
Reading a book, absentmindedly looking out the window repeatedly, he suddenly realized the sun was setting.
“Being unemployed isn’t bad sometimes.”
Seeing the sunset, reading this novel, and not thinking about anything may seem leisurely, but he wanted to think even less.
Even if there were days like that once in a while, it seemed okay to comfort himself.
Someone suddenly pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.
When a woman is alone, she always pulls something like this. Even in a five-star hotel, there’s no exception.
Ignoring the arrogant sound that inexplicably raised his self-esteem, he didn’t even give a glance and stubbornly immersed himself in the book.
I won’t look at him.
However, the person who sat next to him remained silent for a long time.
Did you come alone? Do you have time? What book are you reading? Despite thinking that he should throw a cheeky line and quickly leave, when he lifted his eyes from the book.
“Hello, noona? I was wondering when you would look at me.”
Jay, resting his chin on the table, smiled brightly as he looked at the sound.
He’s not Hong Gildong, and he doesn’t know why he appears everywhere.
“Are you stalking me?”
“Huh? Hahaha.”
Jay laughed heartily, as if his voice could be heard. Then, as if aware of the surroundings, he shrugged his shoulders and pulled the chair next to him closer.
“That’s right. I’m stalking you, noona.”
“Even if it’s a joke, don’t say things like that.”
“But noona, you said you’d let go next time we meet, and you really did as soon as you saw me. Can I let go too?”
A prickling sound, Sound shot a stern look at Jay.
“Fine, fine. I won’t let go, so speak comfortably. Got it?”
“Yeah, yeah. Forget about me. You?”
“Oh, I said it for nothing. I prefer informal language. It feels like you’ve become a real noona.”
“What are you talking about?”
As if ignoring him, Sound lowered his gaze back to the book, but Jay snatched the book he was holding.
“Why is it like this, really?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a younger brother like me?”
A younger brother like him?
With an annoying expression, Sound closely observed Jay’s face. His face, eyes, nose, mouth, and forehead were heartwarming just to look at.
Well, having such a handsome younger brother wouldn’t be bad. However, he didn’t want to answer like that.
“I think having a younger sister would be better than a younger brother. Do you want to be my younger sister?”
“Oh, stop kidding.”
“Give me the book.”
Avoiding the reaching hand sound, Jay held the arm with the book and moved it far away.
“Play with me. I’m bored.”
“Are you crazy? Would I play with you?”
“I’m not feeling good today, sister. But maybe it’s fate?”
“Talking about fate. Seriously.”
It’s really strange. Saying things comfortably that pop out on their own to Jay, who is a top-tier celebrity admired by everyone.
Maybe because he laughs heartily even when he talks rudely.
“Are you feeling bad today and want to be alone, brother?”
“Eating something delicious will make you feel better. Haven’t you had dinner yet?”
“Excuse me.”
“Let’s go eat something delicious. Okay? I’ll make you eat a meal you can’t even buy with money.”
Why is he so clingy today?
He seemed like an annoying younger brother, but strangely, it didn’t feel unpleasant.
Is it better to be with someone than alone?
Will eating something really delicious improve the depressed mood?
“I’ll take responsibility and make sure to change your mood. Okay?”
With Jay’s continued insistence, internal conflict began.
Jay, who noticed it, stubbornly stared at Sound’s face and squinted his eyes.
“Where are we going?”
With a straightforward question, Jay, who smiled, showing his bright teeth, started picking up Sound’s bag as well.
“Let’s go see. It’s a place where not just anyone can go.”
“…….”
“Hurry up. Quickly.”
Without telling him where, he began to urge.
Ugh.
“……Fine, let’s go.”
Let’s see where.
Sound pretended to be deceived and reluctantly followed.
The destination was farther than expected.
The car, which had left Seoul and reached the outskirts, arrived at a three-story building converted into a store.
A large table was faintly visible through the curtains, and a yellow light was seeping out.
It looked like a restaurant, but strangely, no sign was visible.
Is it a place that only a few people know about?
Filled with curiosity, Sound, who got out of the car, looked around and thought while observing the expensive cars parked in the parking lot.
Really, it seems to be a famous restaurant that only people in the know go to. Such a restaurant that only serves one table a day.
“Why?”
“Huh? No reason.”
Ignoring the absent-minded Sound, Jay opened the store door and entered first. The bell on the door rang softly.
As Sound stepped inside, a delicious aroma vibrated through the air.
The table was already filled with neatly arranged and charmingly plated dishes. The pretty dishes didn’t seem like something you could find in stores, and the cutlery was also luxurious.
Oh…
While Sound’s gaze was captivated by the table, a soft exclamation of admiration echoed.
When someone revealed themselves from the inner wall, Jay spoke.
“Dad! The guest I mentioned.”
Gasp.
The person Jay referred to as “Dad” was the director Han Seongjae, whom Sound had met not long ago.
Sound’s eyes moved back and forth between Jay and Seongjae.
“You didn’t know, Noona? I’m Han Kangwoo. Our dad is Han Seongjae. He’s so busy being a doctor that he doesn’t even read entertainment news.”
He doesn’t even have time to read political news, this guy.
Sound, with a slightly surprised expression, politely bowed to Seongjae.
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…
