But Sori didn’t have the strength to respond to Soohyang.
Sori, whose forehead was hot, staggered and slumped on the sofa.
“You hold your emotions in normally, so that’s why it bursts like this. Release them normally.”
Sori, who usually gets drunk and cries in her sleep, often came to her mother.
But it seems she cried all night yesterday.
“But my daughter is my daughter. She has such beautiful crying eyes, she could even become an actress. An actor’s eyes are very important.”
Soo Hyang, transferring the beef bone soup she bought onto the table, looked at Sori with laughterfilled eyes. Her face suggested she had much to say.
“Hyun Woo is still the same even after a long time. I was really surprised when I opened the front door. Professor Seo must be very popular. You’re more handsome than the male lead in this drama. It’s too wasteful to just look at patients with that face.”
Soo Hyang poured water into a transparent glass cup and handed it to Sori.
“I didn’t know the hospital would conduct the swearingin ceremony so rudely. Didn’t Hyun Woo cover for you?”
“He joined late because he was in surgery. Thanks to brother Hyun Woo, I was able to escape.”
“I see.”
“Yep.”
Sori lay down, resting her legs on Soo Hyang’s lap like a child.
“What if you lie down again. You need to eat and go to work quickly.”
“Just 5 more minutes.”
Soo Hyang brushed Sori’s hair.
She was smiling at her daughter, but she couldn’t smile inside. Because of last night, when Hyun Woo brought Sori home and they had a brief conversation.
It was because Sori was drunk, but it was the first time she held me and cried, so Soo Hyang felt heartbroken.

So unknowingly, she cautiously brought up these topics with Hyun Woo, and she had doubts about whether she did the right thing, and couldn’t sleep all night.
Soo Hyang quickly hid her worry and asked.
“Daughter, how’s the new hospital? Better than Seo Han?”
“All hospitals are chaotic and the same.”
“Still, it’s good because Hyun Woo is there, right?”
“Nowait.”
Sori, with her eyes closed, was a little embarrassed, but she couldn’t deny it.
Now, just hearing the name ‘Hyun Woo’ seemed to burn her inside.
A long, long sigh escaped.
NS Hospital.
Sori and Ki Tae, who finished patient dressings and were walking around the ward, both collapsed onto their chairs as if they were tired.
“I will handle all the order modifications today.”
Sori thought that if she kept busy, she would worry less about Hyun Woo. So she sat immediately in front of the computer without taking a break.
“We should do it together. What are you saying.”
Ki Tae also sat in front of the computer.
“Did you get home okay yesterday, Sori?”
Ki Tae asked about yesterday while stirring the ice in his iced Americano.

“Yeah. How’s your stomach? You drank a lot yesterday too.”
“I think I’m going to die. When I opened my eyes, it was a hospital bed. I don’t remember anything. Haha. I’m trying to cure my hangover with iced coffee first.”
It seemed like something had happened, but he wasn’t sure if he could ask what it was. Ki Tae gently watched Sori, and reluctantly brought up Se Hun’s story.
“Professor Seo just left after killing the chief yesterday. And what’s even more shocking is that Professor Seo’s surgery failed this morning. His mental state seemed to be completely shattered.”
“I see…….”
Sori couldn’t respond to Ki Tae’s words. It was because her own mental state was already quite shattered.
The morning meeting would begin soon.
Even as she was entering her order, all Sori could worry about was how to look at him.
Would it be better to go before the meeting starts and apologize?
Or should she act like she doesn’t know, pretending she doesn’t remember?
The end of my first love that I was trying to wrap up wasn’t supposed to look like this.
Sori’s mind was a mess with various worries.
The least awkward method would be…
Right. Let’s pretend I don’t know, behave politely, and smoothly move on.

That’s what she decided, but she wasn’t sure if she could do it.
Rrrrrr.
Startled by the sudden ringtone, Sori took out her cell phone.
“I thought I had it on vibrate. I’m sorry.”
“No, go ahead and answer it.”
The caller was a regular Seoul city phone number.
Is it a spam call? Sori cocked her head and answered the call.
“Hello.”
Teacher Yu, it’s me, Park Ji Wung.
“Ah…… Yes, sir.”
Worried that Ki Tae might hear, Sori turned down the call volume to the minimum and momentarily stepped out into the hallway outside the ward.
“Sir, you called me early in the morning. I was actually planning to visit soon……”
She didn’t expect a call from Park Ji Wung this early in the morning. Her heart started pounding with an uneasy premonition.
While walking towards the end of the opposite hallway of the ward, Sori answered the call in the quietest voice possible.
“I’ll go as soon as I can. When’s my first off?”
Well, Teacher Yu……
“Yes, sir.”
Teacher Yu, the thing is…
She felt a hint of awkwardness in Ji Wung’s voice as he called her name.
Well, maybe it’s better to find out sooner.

With resignation, Sori calmly asked.
“You can tell me. I’ll be fine.”
She stopped walking, took a deep breath, and prepared herself.
And then, as she listened to Ji Wung’s following words, her eyes began to clear up.
“Whaat?! Is that true?!”
Without realizing it, Sori spoke a bit louder and covered her mouth with her hand. Fortunately, there was no one around yet.
“Ah, yes. Yes. That could happen. Nono…… Ah…… Yes…….”
I’m sorry. It’s my first time dealing with such a case in my life. I don’t know what to do. I should have told you in person, but I thought it would be better for you to know sooner, so I called you myself.
“Ah, yes. That’s okay. I’m fine……”
No, I’m not okay. What am I supposed to do if you’re like this?
“There was another patient with the exact same name, blood type, and date of birth as me at Seohan Hospital……
A woman of the same age, with the same name as me, Sori. Today must have been a shocker for her.
If it had been Ojin, it would have been more dramatically appropriate.
Feeling relief that it wasn’t me, I also felt a hint of bitterness.
But, you also had the same symptoms of anemia and a lack of platelets. That’s why we found out late that the two of you were mixed up. You had a blood transfusion, so you should be okay for now, but you need to take good care of your body.
“Yes, I’ll be careful.”
I need to go into a meeting now, so I can’t talk long. Come to the hospital once. Understand?
“Yes, I will. Yes, yes, thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Sori stood leaning against the wall for quite a while, in a daze.

Was it some kind of cosmic joke to find out about this the day after a major accident?
Should I just bang my head against this wall and die?
Thinking about what I had done to Hyunwoo, I felt like a heinous criminal.
Leaning against the wall, Sori slowly closed her eyes and gently hit the back of her head against the wall.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Huh?
Instead of the hard concrete wall, I felt an unfamiliar warmth on the back of my head.

The moment I opened my eyes, they met with Hyunwoo’s.

Short scene 2:
