Four months ago.

The doctor displayed Han So-eun and Kim Mal-hee’s abdominal CT images and explained.

“There’s no fatty liver, and the size and shape are just right. It’s very suitable for the recipient.”

At the doctor’s assessment, both Yang Hee-wook and Kim Mal-hee exclaimed in unison.

“Thank you. Thank you, doctor.”

Mal-hee repeatedly bowed to the doctor as if the surgery was already successful.

“Your thanks should be directed to the donor,” the doctor replied, pointing at So-eun. Mal-hee immediately turned to So-eun and grasped her hand tightly. Mal-hee’s grateful expression was met with a faint smile from So-eun, although she couldn’t share their overwhelming emotion.

“Our future daughter-in-law has made a big decision. Such cases are not unheard of, but still, it’s not an easy decision. The mother-in-law is lucky.”

“That’s right. Our So-eun is the luck charm of our family.”

As the doctor added, Mrs. Kim Mal-hee appeared to agree. Then, Hee-wook interjected.

“Actually, she’s not just any mother-in-law. Since So-eun’s parents are not around, mom has always loved her as her own daughter.”

“Yes, she’s like my daughter.”

Agreeing with Hee-wook, Mal-hee shook So-eun’s hand. With every shake, So-eun’s body swayed.

The doctor, smiling at this beautiful mother-daughter-in-law relationship, pointed back at the CT image. A distinct line had appeared on So-eun’s liver in the image. Looking at it, So-eun’s left hand moved to her right chest. Although it was just a picture, the area where the surgery would take place seemed to throb.

“From here to here, about 50% to 60% will be removed by right hepatectomy. The donor’s liver weighs about 1kg, so about 500g will be resected.”

“Isn’t up to 70% possible? I thought that was the case.”

Hee-wook asked at the doctor’s words. His voice made So-eun’s left hand tense up more.

“It seems possible up to 65%. Of course, it requires the donor’s consent.”

At the mention of ‘the donor’s consent,’ both Hee-wook and Mal-hee’s eyes turned to So-eun.

So-eun timidly calculated in her mind. ‘Liver donors recover quickly’, ‘In a few months, it will feel like I never had surgery’… She gained courage from the information she found online, but it was still scary.

So-eun asked in a small voice.

“…How many months does it take to fully recover after the surgery?”

“Usually, liver function normalizes in about a month.”

“And when will the liver size return to 100%?”

“It’s like growing a new organ, so it’s hard to say exactly, but in about three months, it should be almost back to its pre-surgery size.”

The opinion of a renowned doctor, among the top five in liver transplant surgery in Korea, was trustworthy. So-eun quietly nodded her head as Hee-wook continued his questions.

“Then it could be more than 100%. Cutting off the old and growing fresh new parts, right, doctor?”

Hee-wook sought the doctor’s agreement, seemingly excited at the prospect of prolonging his mother’s life.

The doctor glanced at So-eun’s expression, then reluctantly smiled.

He’s quick to ask.

During work hours. So-eun glanced at Hee-wook’s text message and then flipped her phone over.

Yesterday, after overhearing Hee-wook and Mal-hee’s conversation outside the hospital room, So-eun turned around and left. She didn’t know how to face them after hearing such words.

She had never heard such things to her face. Mrs. Kim Mal-hee always welcomed So-eun with a smile and cried before the surgery, saying how a young girl like her shouldn’t have to go through such a procedure. She never criticized So-eun’s family background or education, at least not to her face.

Yet, over time, she compromised with her heart. The people she had seen were always so kind and good.

‘That’s right. Even the king is bad-mouthed behind his back.’

Am I any different? I’m not, am I?

I too smile mindlessly in front of my boss and complain about my brother as if I’m cursing him.

It was wrong of me to eavesdrop on their conversation.
A graduate of a prestigious law school and a lawyer at a famous law firm, imagine how much temptation there must be. People around must talk a lot. How regrettable it must be for such a person to be dating an engineer who barely graduated from a four-year university.

Even trying to understand…

“Team Leader, should I buy you a salad? You like salads, don’t you?”

Lost in thought for a moment, Park Bo-bae, the new junior colleague sitting next to her, spoke up. It was well past noon. Lunchtime started at 12, but So-eun, still busy with morning orders, hadn’t had time to eat, so Bo-bae offered kindly.

Before the surgery, So-eun mainly ate salads. The restaurants near the company had too many spicy foods, so she brought lunch from home.

Kim Mal-hee, So-eun’s future mother-in-law, had long been concerned about So-eun’s diet. Insisting on eating healthy, she used to order organic vegetables and even prepared side dishes for So-eun’s lunch box.

She begins to doubt whether the child her boyfriend is carrying is even hers.

Is there a hidden reason behind her amnesia, or could it be a side effect of her sudden arrival in this strange new world?

Just when it seems the protagonist’s life couldn’t become any more entangled, her ex-boyfriend makes an unexpected appearance, raising questions about the protagonist’s past.
