Suddenly, Cha Na-jeong got off the bed and stood next to Sori. Startled, Sori instinctively stepped back.
Na-jeong towered over Sori, looking down at her. She was slightly taller.
“Your face is okay, but you’re quite short.”
“Pardon?”
“You’re short.”
“Yes, I guess I am shorter than you.”
“You are. What woman these days is under 170 cm?”
“Well, if that’s how you see it, then I suppose I’m short.”
Sori, who was 165 cm tall and proud of being above average, resignedly agreed.
Cha Na-jeong sat on the edge of the bed, scrutinizing Sori. Sori involuntarily stepped back under her blatant gaze.
Wondering when to leave the room, Sori fiddled with the call phone in her gown pocket.
“Hey, can you get me some water?”
Despite her rudeness, Sori, known for her unnecessary patience, complied.
“Just a moment.”
She opened the fridge in the room, finding several bottles of water, and poured one into a cup.
“Here you go.”
Na-jeong took the cup without a word, drinking while staring at Sori.
Sori secretly sighed.
“Do your family members not visit?”
“Why would they visit when I’m not sick?”
“Ah, right. Of course.”
It seemed Na-jeong was aware that she wasn’t genuinely ill.
“You had a car accident?”
“It wasn’t an accident. I rammed someone because I was annoyed.”
“Ah, I see.”
“I still feel like ramming someone right now.”
As Na-jeong looked at the wall across her bed with an unfocused gaze, Sori sensed something unstable in her eyes.
“I’m holding back.”
“Why are you holding back?”
Na-jeong’s chilling gaze returned to Sori.
“So I don’t end up being the crazy one.”
Crash!
Na-jeong threw the glass of water against the wall, and Sori finally sensed the danger.
Evening after a long day.
It was the day Sori and Hyun-woo had planned to leave work together.
In Hyun-woo’s office, Sori, who was reading and organizing papers, covered her mouth and yawned softly. It was already almost 10 PM.
Feeling Sori’s movement, Hyun-woo softly said, “Let’s wrap it up.”
For others, it was late, but for them, it was an early finish.
“It’s okay. If you need to continue, I can stay. Or I can take the bus home first,” said Sori, not wanting to disturb Hyun-woo who was still typing.
Eventually, Hyun-woo took off his glasses.
Every morning, Sori made sure to leave for work before him.
Now, Hyun-woo, suspecting she might be avoiding him, got up without hesitation.
“Let’s go.”
As he stood up, Sori quickly gathered her things.
“I’ll get ready to leave and meet you at the main entrance.”
“No, let’s leave together.”
Hyun-woo, already putting on his jacket, was the first to leave the office.
Their footsteps echoed in the quiet, almost asleep corridors.
The end of a tiring day felt different and nice, walking home together.
“Am I walking too fast?” Hyun-woo suddenly asked, noticing Sori’s quick steps to keep up with him.
“A little?”
He slowed down, allowing Sori to comfortably match his pace.
Unlike during ward rounds, Hyun-woo adjusted his pace to match Sori’s, which she found a bit surprising.
Given the rare moments of walking side by side with him in the hospital, Sori walked to the medical office in good spirits.
“Get ready and come out. I’ll wait here.”
“You can go ahead to the car if you want.”
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Sori then quickly ran to the medical office door.
“I’ll be out soon.”
After Sori entered the medical office, Hyun-woo pulled out his phone to read a message from Ji-woo.
[Ji-woo: Why haven’t you told Dad about Sori? Were you planning to introduce her at the family meeting? I don’t know. I’ll tell him.]A thin line formed on his forehead and then disappeared.
“Professor! I’m out.”
Caught off guard while leaning against the wall, Hyun-woo straightened up quickly.
“You were waiting, so let’s go.”
Caring Sori, holding two thick textbooks, smiled brightly.
Everyone must sing praises about Sori, Sori, given her sweet smile and kind words.
“Why did you bring so much?”
“I thought I’d read some at home before bed.”
“Give them here.”
“I’m fine. I can carry them.”
He didn’t retract his extended hand, knowing Sori couldn’t outstubborn him.
Eventually, as he took the two books, Sori puffed her cheeks with guilt.
“I really was fine…”
It seemed like looking after Sori had naturally become his routine.
Carrying the heavy books, Hyun-woo walked briskly, with Sori following closely.
“Professor, actually…”
“What is it?”
“Never mind…”
“Why call me then not say anything?”
He urged her to speak, worried his father might have already spoken out of turn after reading Ji-woo’s text.
“…I’m quite a bit shorter compared to your height, aren’t I?”
Sori looked up at the top of his head. There was a significant height difference between them.
He was surprised by her unexpected question. A slight bewilderment lingered in his casual gaze.
“Because you’re so tall, it makes me feel even smaller…”
“…”
Puzzled about what to say, he slowed his pace.
These days, he often found himself perplexed by more challenging questions than medical ones.
“Come here.”
He nodded for her to come forward. Sori stood facing him.
“Closer.”
“Like this?”
Sori stepped two more paces closer after a glance around the parking lot.
Standing face-to-face reminded him of the time he had enveloped her in his embrace.
If he hugged her, his chin could rest on her head, and in winter, he could easily wrap her in his long coat.
He bent down to match her eye level.
“I find your height just perfect.”
Unexpected sincerity slipped from Hyun-woo.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
