Carrying seminar materials, Seung Hee, on her way to see Professor Yoon Ina, stopped abruptly when she saw Na Young coming out of the professor’s room.
‘Why is she coming out of there?’
Na Young’s troubled expression caught Seung Hee’s attention.
She wondered if Na Young had confronted Yoon Ina based on something Director Cha Hyun might have said. That would be quite a bold move.
After all, this was a hospital, and Yoon Ina was a professor, while Na Young was only a first-year resident.
‘What to do? Should I tell Professor Choi?’ Seung Hee pondered, fearing the situation could escalate due to Choi Tae Hyuk’s temperament.
She regretted not taking Cha Hyun’s number the day before. Given his role as a mediator, he would have been the best person to inform about such an incident.
‘But why would a world-renowned director like Cha Hyun get involved in someone else’s love life?’
At that moment, Tae Hyuk was furiously texting Cha Hyun, venting his anger. Initially, he had intended to talk to Cha Hyun about a 17-year-old incident involving Na Young, but he changed his mind.
Deciding never to tell Cha Hyun, he headed to the VIP ward. Despite the awkwardness with the patient’s guardian, Tae Hyuk planned to act as usual.
Throughout his life, Tae Hyuk had more bad connections than good ones. ‘Just meet, say it’s not meant to be, and part ways,’ he thought.
As he opened the door to the ward, Tae Hyuk stopped in his tracks. Lee Ju Ah, dressed too extravagantly, caught his attention.
She seemed more dressed for a blind date than for caregiving.
Tae Hyuk, trying to ignore her, approached Lee Cheol Gwon.
“Are you experiencing any discomfort?” he asked.
Lee Cheol Gwon mentioned some pain, prompting Tae Hyuk to offer pain medication.
When Lee Cheol Gwon’s wife inquired about the discharge timeline, Tae Hyuk estimated a ten-day recovery period.
Hearing Lee Ju Ah suggest her father rest in the hospital for a month, no one showed a positive reaction.
Tae Hyuk had planned to visit his family home and meet Mrs. Hwang the day before, but Lee Ju Ah’s issue delayed his visit to today.
Before leaving, he tried calling Na Young several times, but she did not answer.
As Seung Hee walked with seminar materials to see Professor Yoon Ina, she paused abruptly upon seeing Na Young leaving Ina’s room.
‘Why is she coming out of there?’
Na Young’s expression seemed troubled, which worried Seung Hee.
She speculated if Na Young had confronted Yoon Ina over something Director Cha Hyun might have implied. It seemed like a bold move.
After all, this was a hospital, Yoon Ina was a professor, and Na Young was just a first-year resident.
‘What should I do? Do I need to tell Professor Choi?’ Seung Hee pondered, fearing the situation might escalate given Choi Tae Hyuk’s temperament.
Regretting not taking Cha Hyun’s number earlier, Seung Hee realized he was the best to handle such matters.
‘But why would a globally recognized director like Cha Hyun meddle in someone’s love life?’
Seung Hee headed towards Yoon Ina’s room, contemplating Cha Hyun’s unusual hobby.
Meanwhile, Tae Hyuk was busy sending angry texts to Cha Hyun. He initially intended to speak about an incident from 17 years ago when he saved Na Young, but he decided against it.
Determined not to tell Cha Hyun, Tae Hyuk headed to the VIP ward. Despite the awkward situation with the patient’s guardian, he decided to proceed as usual.
Throughout his life, Tae Hyuk had more negative relationships than positive ones.
‘Just meet, agree it’s a bad match, and part ways,’ he thought.
Upon entering the ward, Tae Hyuk paused. Lee Ju Ah, overdressed, demanded attention.
She looked more ready for a blind date than caregiving.
Ignoring her, Tae Hyuk approached Lee Cheol Gwon.
“Any discomfort?” he inquired.
Lee Cheol Gwon mentioned pain near the surgical area. Tae Hyuk offered pain medication if needed.
Lee Cheol Gwon’s wife asked about the discharge timeline, and Tae Hyuk informed them it would take about ten days for recovery.
Lee Ju Ah suggested her father should rest in the hospital for a month, receiving no positive responses.
Tae Hyuk had planned to visit his family home and meet Mrs. Hwang yesterday, but Lee Ju Ah’s issue delayed his visit.
Before leaving, he tried calling Na Young several times without success.
Having learned the full story from Cha Hyun, Tae Hyuk realized there was no need for further explanations to Na Young.
‘Perhaps being bad is just my nature,’ he mused, regretting his sincere gratitude towards Ju Ah.
The phone rang, and Tae Hyuk, hoping it was Na Young, was disappointed to see it was Oh Seung Jun.
Answering without enthusiasm, he heard Seung Jun’s outburst about Cha Hyun interfering with his sister.
“What nonsense?” Tae Hyuk knew Cha Hyun’s taste in women; Seung Hee was definitely not it.
Seung Jun’s accusation of Seung Hee being interested in Cha Hyun led Tae Hyuk to end the call abruptly.
He was in no mood to deal with Seung Jun today.
Upon returning home, Hong Sik was the first to greet him warmly.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
