The large brown coat, the face flushed in a blush wrapped in red hair.
“You really look like a matchstick.”
He who had finished buttoning all the buttons, teased with a blank expression.
Sori, whose cheeks were obviously red, awkwardly backed away to create distance.
“Go up and rest today.”
“Yes……”
“The punishment for failing your assignment will take place at the hospital tomorrow.”
Gosh.
Sori, who had been looking back at the elevator, paused, her expression turning desolate.
As a naturally diligent model student, the thing she hated most was failing assignments, and what she feared most was the punishment for it.
I completely forgot about it due to the news that was coming up today. Sori realized her situation belatedly.
She had no choice but to beg for mercy.
“Professor…….”
Although she looked at Hyun Woo belatedly with somewhat desperate eyes.
But a clearcut Hyun Woo would not be swayed by even a grain of personal emotion.
“Why. Weren’t you prepared for that much when you submitted it?”
At his cold words, Sori resigned immediately.
In any case, it wouldn’t work just by letting it pass today due to his personality.
Whether we decided to get married now or before, Seo Hyun Woo remains the same, and I don’t know why only I seem to be out of my mind.
A few days later.
In a hospital ward at the Imperial Hospital.
Sori, who was on her free rounds, confirmed Min Kuk’s empty bed and wandered around the ward.
Choi Min Kuk was a patient with Moyamoya disease who was admitted the day before Sori’s first day at work.
They were monitoring the progress for surgery, but the condition was still incomplete. Naturally, as the hospitalization was prolonged, the increasingly annoyed child had left his place again.
“If he runs, it’ll be a big deal. Where the hell did he go.”
Sori wasn’t Min Kuk’s attending physician, but they had quite a lot of conversations in between.
His parents were busy working double jobs, and Min Kuk was usually alone in the morning and afternoon.
Unable to find him even after searching the entire ward, Sori, growing impatient, came out of the hospital building.
She saw Min Kuk sitting on a bench in the distance, tapping the ground with his slippered feet.
That rascal.
“What are you looking at? Is it your first time seeing a middle schooler in a patient gown? Ah, really. I’m annoyed.”
The passerby had just looked back without meaning, but Min Kuk was snapping at anyone.
“Choi Min Kuk.”
When Sori approached, Min Kuk, who had stopped his foot movement, raised his head.
“Ah, why are you following me?”
“Do you like me?”
“Ah, what are you talking about.”
Sori flopped down next to Min Kuk.
After how long, after a few hours, she stretched, saying she didn’t know when she sat down last time. The arm that had been stretching fell squarely on Min Kuk’s shoulder.
“Do you find the hospital that suffocating?”
“Why don’t you try to be hospitalized? The food tastes really bad.”
“So, you didn’t eat lunch?”
“……”
Apparently he was pretty annoyed. He didn’t answer, but started tapping the pebbles on the ground with his foot again.
“Shall I buy you something? I always find the food tasteless too. I just want to snack.”
“There’s nothing in the hospital.”
“Why isn’t there? There’s an ice cream shop and a bakery. What should we eat? Let’s eat something sweet.”
Sori didn’t seem to mind when she spoke.
“Then ice cream.”
“Cool!”
Thus, at the end of a dramatic compromise, they found an ice cream shop in the basement with thirtyone flavors.
To lighten the mood, Min Hyuk stepped in to stop Sori who was about to order a large bucket enough to eat for three to four days.
“I’ll just have a cone. It’s a waste if you buy expensive ice cream and can’t eat it all.”
“Then let’s each have one cone.”
Despite her grumbling tone, her thoughtful heart was pretty.
The two with similar tastes held a cone topped with a round scoop of ice cream with chocolate balls, and sat facing each other at the table.
It seemed like Sori was eating ice cream after a long time. She felt relaxed.
“Sam, I’m going on a field trip at school next week.”
“Ah, a spring outing?”
“Can I go that day?”
It was a difficult question.
“Where to?”
“My friend is going to DuZ World. Sam, can you let me go out?”
“The head doctor might not allow it.”
“Do you have no power, Sam?”
Sori innocently responded, licking her ice cream deliciously.
“I don’t. To put it simply in your terms, I’m powerless.”
For the first time, Min Hyuk laughed out loud. Sori laughed along.
Hyun Woo happened to see the two sitting at a table against the glass wall, eating ice cream.
Who is the child and who is the adult?
If Sori had not worn a doctor’s gown, he would not have been able to tell.
Again, they are eating something like that.
Hyun Woo was looking displeased, but he smiled briefly at the corners of his mouth.
Just as he was about to pass them, he saw one of the interns who recently came to NS, running towards Sori.
Since coming to NS, that intern had been creating a fuss, always looking for Sori.
Not only that intern was looking for Sori, but especially that handsome intern was following Sori like a duckling.
The intern, who had baby perms and was tall, seemed to be asking for ice cream.
Sori got up from her seat and politely ordered ice cream, her back visible.
Eventually, Hyun Woo’s eyes slowly furrowed.
The moment Sori finished paying and turned towards Min Hyuk, her gaze met with Hyun Woo’s outside the glass wall.
Surprised, Sori instinctively bowed politely to greet him.
Hyun Woo coldly flicked his finger at her from outside.
A hand gesture telling her to follow.
“To the lab.”
Along with a slightly moving mouth shape.
“I need to see the professor. Ji Seok, please take Min Guk to the ward.”
Quickly, Sori, who had waved at Min Guk, darted out of the shop.
The unexpectedly encountered Kang Se Hoon had suddenly started rounds in the intensive care unit and even ordered a hospital cleaning that he didn’t usually do…
What might Hyun Woo have heard from him? Needless worries and concerns grew.
Another assignment, perhaps? For Sori, who had ended up receiving assignments twice a week due to an unfinished one last time, it was like a bolt from the blue.
She held her breath so as not to be heard by the Sori following behind her.
In contrast to her growing anxiousness, the expression of Hyun Woo, who was walking ahead, became strangely calm.
Absorbed in her thoughts as she walked down the hallway, she suddenly stopped and barely managed to steady her swaying body.
It was because he had stopped his steps.
He slowly turned around and quietly stared at Sori. As always in the hospital, the polite Sori bowed her head and waited for him to speak.
She probably thought he had something to say and followed him.
“When will you move in?”
“Pardon? Move in where……”
They decided to get married and skip the wedding, so the only thing left was naturally…
“Clear your offtime this week.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Aren’t you curious about what we’re going to do?”
Sori looked around to see if anyone was listening. It seemed like a private conversation was mixed in, and this was a hospital after all.
At that sight, Hyun Woo slightly raised one eyebrow.
“What are we doing that day?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
