He had first decided to become a doctor when his grandfather collapsed due to shock related to him. He had always wanted to protect something. That’s why he chased after the bad guys and why he became a doctor. Without something to protect, life held no meaning for him.
Gripping tightly, Tae Hyuk clenched his fist, with blue veins popping on his forearm.
“Nervous?”
Yoon Ina, who had quietly approached him, picked up a scrub brush and asked.
“Yeah, actually.”
Admitting his nervousness, Yoon Ina looked at him in surprise. He had always been bold in the operating room, even from his intern days, fearless and resolute.
In contrast, she had been scared at first but had become a seasoned surgeon through repeated surgeries. She had far more surgical experiences than Choi Tae Hyuk.
“If I perfectly complete this surgery, you’ll never be able to forget me.”
His lengthy eyes narrowed at Yoon Ina’s comment.
As Na Young looked at Seung Hee questioning about Cha Hyun’s phone number, Hong Sik suddenly became serious and objected.
“That’s not an object!”
He quickly turned and left the room, leaving Seung Hee and Na Young surprised, looking towards the door.
“Why did he react like that? Did I do something wrong?” Seung Hee asked Na Young.
Unable to figure it out herself, Na Young was relieved when Mrs. Hwang explained.
“Hong Sik lost his first love to Cha Hyun. The wound is still deep.”
“First love?”
Seung Hee was baffled, not understanding why first love was being discussed, while Na Young realized warning Seung Hee about Cha Hyun had been the right decision.
While everyone rushed to see the surgery of Yoon Ina and Choi Tae Hyuk, Na Young did not go. She sat in her place, organizing patient charts. She had done everything she could, having prayed through her mother and spoken directly to Mrs. Hwang.
Determined to focus on her duties until the surgery was over, she was interrupted by Nurse Byun.
“Ms. Moon, a man came looking for you and left this business card.”
Na Young took the card from Nurse Byun.
Recognizing the company name, she momentarily held her breath. It was someone sent by her father.
Checking the time, she realized the surgery would have just started. While Choi Tae Hyuk was saving Mrs. Hwang, she had to deal with this man.
She stood up, buttoned her doctor’s coat, and walked out. There, she noticed a man looking up at the ceiling. Nurse Byun indicated it was him.
“Jang Soo Ho?”
He looked down at her call. His face was neat and exuded trustworthiness. His deep eyes were like a well, profound and not easily fathomable. It was hard to guess his age.
“I’m Moon Na Young.”
Acknowledging her identity, Jang Soo Ho bowed respectfully.
“I work under Executive Director Moon Seong Cheol.”
His voice was calm and polite, likely reflecting his personality.
“Let’s talk outside. It’s uncomfortable here.”
Agreeing, Jang Soo Ho nodded, and they left the hospital to avoid encountering anyone familiar.
Thankfully, Nam Ho Jin had gone to watch Choi Tae Hyuk’s surgery, minimizing the chances of rumors spreading.
“Isn’t it rude to show up unannounced like this?”
To her cold query, Jang Soo Ho replied without fluster.
“Executive Director Moon insisted I visit you first, believing you’d be too busy with hospital work to take a call.”
“Do you always follow my father’s orders?”
Despite her sarcastic tone, Jang Soo Ho remained unflustered.
“Yes, I respect him greatly.”
It seemed Jang Soo Ho’s true soulmate was her father, not her.
“I’m already seeing someone.”
Her blunt statement didn’t surprise him.
“So that’s why Executive Director Moon sent me here.”
“What do you mean?”
Her question was met with Jang Soo Ho’s serious response, revealing the deeper intentions behind his visit.
Jang Soo Ho calmly informed her.
“Executive Director Moon already knows about the man you’re seeing.”
Na Young’s eyes wavered. Unless someone deliberately informed her father, it was an impossible scenario. Two people came to her mind as suspects: Professor Yoon Ina and Lee Chul Kwon’s daughter, Lee Joo Ah of L Department Store.
“Can’t you help me?”
In this situation, the only person who could help her was the man sent to meet her for the arranged marriage. If her father and Choi Tae Hyuk met, her father would definitely pressure Choi Tae Hyuk, thinking he was protecting her.
Even if Choi Tae Hyuk didn’t care about such pressure, she couldn’t bear it. She hadn’t been able to help Mrs. Hwang with her illness, and if her father troubled Choi Tae Hyuk as well, it would be the worst. It was like a twisted version of fortune’s favor.
So, the only thing she could do right now was to shamelessly ask Jang Soo Ho, whom she had just met, for help.
“Please lie to my father for a while that you and I are dating.”
She couldn’t trouble Choi Tae Hyuk any further, especially when he was already stressed about Mrs. Hwang’s illness.
“Understood.”
Jang Soo Ho’s easy agreement made her suspicious.
“Why are you agreeing to help me so easily?”
If exposed, he would be branded a traitor by her father, a risk that could jeopardize his future.
“Executive Director Moon once told me about your kidnapping incident.”
Na Young’s heart ached. The reason for his willingness to help was related to that incident. But she couldn’t dwell on those memories now; something more important was at stake.
“Then, can I ask you one more thing?”
Jang Soo Ho nodded.
“Could you find the police officer who handled my case?”
It was doubtful her father would believe that Choi Tae Hyuk, who came into her life 17 years later, was her rescuer. Therefore, she needed the help of that police officer.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
