“…..”
“…..”
An awkward silence flowed.
Suddenly, Hyun Woo stretched out awkwardly and deeply leaned back into the sofa.
His gaze stayed on Sori for a long time, it was unexpected.
While holding onto Sori’s confused gaze, he bent his waist between his long legs and moved a little closer to Sori.
Sori swallowed a dry gasp, retreating back as he approached.
She felt like she was about to throw up the food she just ate.
“The attending physician, that doctor from back then?”
His voice was low and cold, but languid, a replay of yesterday.
“No.”
Sori denied it, shaking her head.
Jiwoong was the doctor who almost became an attending, strictly speaking, he wasn’t one anymore.
Creating an attending physician who doesn’t exist was impossible.
I can’t go on like this. Just spill the truth.
No. It’s too late to say there’s the same rumor now.
Her mind was noisy.
“It’s really not. Really.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
His tone was odd.
As if it didn’t matter whether it was true or not.
Sori tried to elaborate further, but swallowed her words upon seeing his expression.
“Still, let’s get married.”
He rose cleanly from the sofa and returned to his desk.
Sori felt a bit at a loss for how to fix this situation.
Duty room.
She had just blinked.
Sori groaned, pulling herself up.
“It wasn’t a dream……”
A few hours ago, Sori ran out of his lab as if she were half out of her mind.
Upon entering the room with a bed, Sori who was perched on the 1st floor bed must have fallen asleep while repeating his words.
But all of it wasn’t a dream.
Thinking about it again, it was shocking.
Confusion within confusion.
‘If you need time to think, I’ll give you a day. Of course, it’s formal, but if there are other conditions, think about it.’
“Conditions……?”
It was him who said he would give her about a day to think about this marriage.
As if there was no thought of me refusing.
“What will you do if I really decide to get married.”
She thought she should clear up his misunderstanding as soon as possible.
Then a message popped up on her phone.
What? Has he already told everyone about my illness or the marriage?
Startled, Sori immediately found Jiwoo in her recent records and called him.
Yu Sori, where are you?
“I’m at the hospital, I was sleeping a bit in the duty room.”
Go home a bit. Is there a ghost at the hospital?
“Right. I was about to go, but I fell asleep.”
I’m on my way to your hospital now.
“Why are you coming to the hospital all of a sudden in the morning? Did you get hurt somewhere?”
Not hurt. I also have something to tell your brother.
Jiwoo’s voice sounded somewhat anxious.
Could it be that the misunderstanding that I’m sick is spreading like wildfire? Sori also felt anxious.
“What’s the bombshell issue?”
I can’t tell you over the phone. I need to see you before your brother. The only person I can discuss this with is you. Do you have a moment?
Sori was staring blankly at the wall clock.
There was still quite some time left until her shift.
“Okay, where do you want to meet?”
Let’s meet at the D Cafe next to the hospital. I’m on my way.
“Alright, I’ll go right now.”
Sori stood up hesitantly and opened her locker.
Because there was nowhere in the hospital where Seo Hyun Woo’s presence didn’t reach.
She thought it would be okay to escape from his territory for a while.
D Cafe.
Early in the morning, the cafe was quiet.
Jiwoo sat by the secondfloor window, wearing sunglasses and a hat the obligatory accessories of a celebrity, from early in the morning.
Sori, who had ordered coffee and scones, set the tray down on the table.
“How’s your leg, can you walk?”
“Yes, it’s much better than yesterday. I plan on getting more treatment later.”
“Good, that’s a good idea.”
Sori took a sip of her own coffee.
She remembered the packed lunch she had eaten late at night.
“By the way, Jiwoo, I enjoyed the packed lunch you sent.”
“Huh? What packed lunch?”
“Huh? Didn’t you send it?”
“Who sent you a packed lunch?”
“Uh, never mind. I must have been mistaken.”
Sori shook her head and stirred the ice in her iced Americano with a straw.
“So, what is this about needing to meet?”
Sori asked calmly without showing much emotion.
She held the straw she had been stirring with to her lips. Strangely, her throat kept feeling dry.
Jiwoo leaned in close to the round cafe table.
“I want to introduce a girl to my brother.”
Pfft!
Cough! Cough!
She nearly spit her coffee out through her nose.
“Why are you like this? Drink some water, Yu Sori.”
“Uh, sorry. I had a sudden fit of coughing.”
Cough! Cough!
Sori, who had calmed her throat with cold water, asked calmly.
“Why, why are you suddenly thinking like that?”
She couldn’t help but think that it must be related to Hyun Woo’s sudden proposal of marriage.
“Actually, my brother had a bit of a quarrel with my father yesterday when he came to our house because of me.”
Sori nodded in agreement, keeping a natural expression.
“My father suddenly told my brother that if he’s going to continue living on his own, he should get married soon.”
“So? What did Hyun Woo say?”
“At first, he was angry at my father for interfering with his life.”
Sori swallowed hard.
“But then he suddenly said he has someone he wants to marry. Can you believe that?”
“Why… there could really be someone he wants to marry…”
Jiwoo shook her head with a determined look in her eyes that it couldn’t be so.
“Do you not know my brother? He’s the kind of person who swore he’d never marry in his life. He has absolutely no interest in women. Where would a stone Buddha, who’s never been in a relationship, suddenly find someone to marry?”
In their longing for love, Ji Woo and Hyun Woo were worlds apart.
The stone Buddha, Seo Hyun Woo.
Such a characteristic of Hyun Woo gave hope to Sori.
Considering she’d kissed such a man right on the lips, she thought it wouldn’t be an outdated idea for him to take responsibility.
Sori was now nodding her head in agreement.
“I’m worried he’ll hastily bring someone and try to get married. Our brother is perfectly capable of doing that.”
“Hey…I can’t believe Hyun Woo would….”
For some reason, she felt a chill running down her spine.
“No! If our brother is in a hurry, I think he could even bring a man home!”
Choke, choke!
Sori kept getting choked up.
“Why does she keep doing this?”
“I’m sorry.”
Sori wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Ji Woo was scrolling through her phone’s photo gallery as if she wanted to show Sori something.
“So, I’m trying to match someone I know who’d go well with Seo Hyun Woo. There were quite a few people who were subtly interested in our brother.”
“Oh, really?”
As a friend, are there any chances I could be among those people? In order to hold back the urge to ask this question, Sori bit her lip hard.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
