During a rare gathering at a high-end Korean beef restaurant often visited during company dinners, the four people exchanged greetings after a long time.
It was a reunion after Sori had resigned.
“I was disappointed to leave without a farewell party. It was too much back then, really.”
Jongwoo, who had become a third-year resident, still spoke with a lingering sense of resentment.
“I left in a hurry. It’s already been a year.”
“Here, let’s not talk about it, Yussol. Congratulations, Hong.”
“Oh, right. Congratulations. Dr. Hong!”
Sori spoke to Eunseok, who was silently grilling meat.
“Why congratulate me?”
“Of course, it’s a reason to celebrate!”

After Hyunwoo and Sori left, the Imperial Hospital remained unchanged. The verbose and theatrical director had been replaced without the doctors knowing, and a professor to replace Hyunwoo quickly took his place.
However, the situation in the Neurosurgery Department was slightly different.
Even if you don’t know the details, an empty seat leaves a noticeable trace.
Sori’s vacancy, which felt like a vitamin, seemed quite significant to them.
“Shouldn’t you come back to the Imperial? Without Yussol, the Neurosurgery Department is just dull. Patients are all looking for Yussol.”
“Right. If we were together now, it would be really fun.”
But both the speaker and the listener knew well that it was just a lamentation expressing regret.
Meanwhile, thick and red-meat, glowing with a crimson hue from the red charcoal, had been grilled several times.
After the premium Korean beef disappeared in an instant without a trace, those whose stomachs were somewhat filled began to wonder about the real reason for today’s gathering.
Sori, the host of today’s gathering, conveyed shocking news to them.

“What?!”
Jongwoo, who was once Sori’s colleague, and Kitae, who was his senior, stopped picking up their chopsticks with faces in shock.
“Professor Seo is getting married?”
“Dabae!”
Kitae and Jongwoo were dumbfounded, but Eunseok alone remained calm, as if he knew about their relationship.
“Were you surprised?”
Haha. Sori laughed mischievously.
“But I wanted to tell you in person. I’m sorry for taking away your busy time for nothing. I’ll give you the wedding invitation.”
Sori shyly handed the white handmade wedding invitation to Jongwoo and Eunseok first. Lastly, she gave the invitation to Kitae.
“Kitae, thank you for making time.”

“Thank you for what.”
On it were the names ‘Seo Hyunwoo’ and ‘Yoo Sori.’
Watching carefully, Eunseok suddenly poured soju and swallowed it in one gulp.
Placing the empty glass down, Eunseok said in a subdued voice.
“Congratulations, Dr. Yoo.”
“Thank you, Dr. Hong.”
“I knew it would work out well.”
“Thanks to you, senior.”
“What did I do?”
Remembering the time Eunseok had helped her when she was isolated in Yeoul-dong, Sori shyly smiled.

“By the way, in two months. Becoming a bride in May. These days must be hectic. There’s a lot to prepare.”
“We feel like we’re just bodies because everyone around us helps us.”
“I see. That’s fortunate.”
While Sori and Eunseok exchanged conversation, Kitae and Jongwoo’s gazes moved back and forth like ping-pong spectators.
In Eunseok’s eyes, which lacked any mischievousness, Kitae and Jongwoo were slightly awed and became very respectful.
And after Eunseok’s nonchalant congratulations.
One glass, two glasses, three glasses of soju in a row, Eunseok, who was drinking continuously, was looked at with pitiful eyes by Kitae and Jongwoo.
It’s a day when our respected senior Eunseok looks so pitiful.
The two who found out that Eunseok was in unrequited love as soon as Sori left the hospital were surprised to learn that her crush was surprisingly Yoo Sori.
Having missed her for a while, Eunseok, who had become somewhat better lately, was unaware that the two were looking at the woman who brought the cruel news of marriage with sympathetic eyes.
“Seniors, please enjoy the delicious beef. You must be busy with hospital work. I brought Professor Seo’s gold card. I’m sorry that Professor couldn’t come in person due to surgery.”

Sori stylishly said as she unfolded the menu.
“What else should we order? Sirloin? Kitae, what do you like?”
Kitae and Jongwoo, who were watching Eunseok’s reaction, couldn’t respond to Sori’s question. The eyes of Jongwoo and Kitae were solely focused on Eunseok.
Chif’s mood influences the atmosphere of the hospital, and it seems that the portrait will be hanging for a while.
“Hong Senior, don’t drink alone. It hurts my heart.”
“Right. We’re here for you. Aren’t we?”
Watching this, Sori became curious and asked, “Senior Eunseok, is something wrong?”
Kitae and Jongwoo, who exposed their emotions in front of the person without realizing it, were stared at fiercely by Eunseok. Then Eunseok’s gaze towards Sori changed 180 degrees.
“What’s wrong.”
“Then, enjoy more meat.”

“Should I?”
Eunseok, who forced the excitement, spoke with an even louder voice.
“I like sirloin here! Let’s eat until Professor Seo’s card limit is exceeded! Let’s go all out!”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
