Squatted down, Sori looked into his eyes and spoke in a soft tone.
“What will the teacher do for me, then?”
“What should I do? What can I do for you?”
“Grant me 10 wishes.”
“10?”
Sori dropped her head, then looked at Min Hyuk’s eyes as if she had made up her mind.
“Fine. Then let’s go in for today.”
“But I already have a wish for today.”
“What is it?”
“I want to eat Gujadong’s instant tteokbokki.”
“It’s impossible to go there and eat.”
“A friend bought a burner and tteokbokki and left it here yesterday. For now, I’ve hidden it in the fridge, and sneakily gave my mom some yesterday but she said it’s too spicy. It’s not even spicy. Right? Let’s eat together, Sam.”
Minguk’s pupils shone brightly. They were irresistible.
Sori checked the time on her wristwatch. There was still so much work to be done that it was too early to go and eat dinner just yet.
“Recently, I have a study at 8 o’clock every day, so it might be a bit late when it’s over. Is around 9 o’clock okay? If it’s too late for dinner, we can do it tomorrow.”
“No, today is fine.”
“Alright then. See you later.”
She carefully explained and asked at the child’s eye level, and Minguk was pleased.
“Yay, it’s midnight snack today!”
Unaware that Hyunwoo’s mood had extremely soured today.
Sori realized she had unwittingly made a promise.
Hyunwoo’s lab.
These days, Sori had been visiting his lab like Cinderella every day at 8 p.m., even amidst her busy schedule.
The ostensible reason was to assist him with his paper, but in reality, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was personal training.
Apart from her major education, she was submitting a paper daily and receiving feedback from him.
But today’s work was somewhat subpar.
The time spent fetching Minguk had taken a toll on her work, and she hadn’t even been able to find the case she had targeted.
His gaze as he sat at the desk, reviewing the hastily submitted report on his laptop, was particularly sharp.
Unlike usual, Sori, who was uneasily standing in front of the desk without even sitting down, felt her lips parch.
“Why are you standing there? Go sit down.”
“…..”
He, who had been casually scrolling, seemed to realize why and chuckled to himself.
“Well, it’s a bit shoddy.”
Sori, feeling embarrassed, gently lowered her head. Unknowingly, her finger was rubbing the edge of his large desk.
She, unable to think of making an excuse, just kept biting her lip.
“If you’re not ready, don’t submit at all.”
It was his usual dry tone, but to Sori, whose feet had gone numb, his voice felt unusually cold today.
“I’ll go and redo it now.”
“No need. If you were going to do that, you should have done it right from the start.”
“…..”
Apparently, he, being a perfectionist, wasn’t one for corrections. Sori felt a bit gloomy, like a wet puppy.
“Do you feel wronged? Are you fed up with being called in every day to work without even being able to leave for days?”
“No, I’ve never thought that way…..”
In truth, Hyun Woo knew more or less how she spent each day.
He had many eyes and ears, and for some reason, Sori stood out in his sight.
Today, after the surgery, while he was taking a breather at the construction site in front of the hospital, he saw Sori running away with Min Hyuk and returning from afar.
What was so amusing about a 15yearold child?
He found it somewhat annoying that the guy who wasn’t even her attending doctor was making Sori work and laughing about it.
On the other hand, the worry spreading behind the small smiling face was perhaps due to the fact that she had to avoid me.
But before Sori became his wife, Hyun Woo resolved never to forget that she was a rather brilliant resident who wished to become a good doctor.
“Or not. You said you wanted to be a good doctor. Are you protesting because you’re already tired?”
“That’s not it.”
In fact, her body was a bit tired, but she knew well that receiving feedback from him was an enormous privilege. And this time was of great help in preparing for my presentations, which happened three times a week.
“Then what.”
“I apologize. I will make sure this does not happen again. I will reinforce today’s case and resubmit it with the review tomorrow.”
She quickly admitted her mistakes at times like this and behaved strictly. That was exactly the attitude that Hyun Woo liked.
He didn’t probe further.
“Let’s go. We need to get off work once in a while.”
He said in a softer voice, picking up his jacket from the coat hanger.
“I am……”
“Why.”
“Professor, you should get off work first.”
“You?”
“I still have some work left.”
In fact, one of those tasks being to grant someone’s wish was a bit of a problem.
“Did you eat?”
“Yes, I did.”
When he asked about her meal, Sori seemed to feel a bit relieved and smiled, crinkling the corners of her eyes.
It was a somewhat awkward smile, though.
“Then, call me when you finish. We’ll go together.”
“Together?”
“I’ll be working a bit more too.”
“I don’t know when I’ll finish.”
Even saying that didn’t do much good for her. His work was always ongoing, as it was for any doctor.
His hospitality still felt burdensome somehow, but after a few lessons, she now knew.
That he didn’t like it when his care was rejected.
“Yes, I’ll call you when I finish.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
After the greeting, Hyun Woo slightly tilted his head while watching Sori leave the lab.
Did I push her too hard today?
Her hard day must have continued for several days.
Somehow Sori’s figure leaving seemed small. Was it just his imagination?
The criticism from Seo Hyun Woo was less than half of what other majoring doctors would give, but for some reason, Sori seemed to take a big hit even from a small remark, which worried him.
Uncharacteristically for him, Hyun Woo put on his protective glasses as if it were a routine before work.
That day, he was determined to take Sori home and put her to sleep, no matter what happened.

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.”
