At the mention of a scalpel, the resident was surprised.
“W-Why a scalpel?”
The patient only needed stitches.
However, in a completely opposite situation, a scalpel was a necessary surgical tool.
“I need to cut open this patient’s stomach.”
At Taehyuk’s words, the gangster patient pondered and vigorously shook his head.
“Ouch! Call the police! The doctor is killing someone!”
Surprisingly, the gangster went to the police first. Then, even the emergency room doctors rushed over to stop him.
Of course, he had no intention of actually cutting open the stomach. He just frightened them.
Having taken petty revenge in the emergency room, Taehyuk left with a somewhat satisfied heart.
Walking with light steps, Taehyuk suddenly stopped when he saw Nayoung walking from the opposite side.

Nayoung also noticed him coming out of the emergency room and stopped in her tracks.
In the midst of passing people, the gazes of the two met.
More words were conveyed in the silent exchange of glances.
Nayoung was the first to avert her eyes.
She immediately turned her body and walked in the opposite direction of the emergency room.
It was clear that she was avoiding him.
Taehyuk wore a bewildered expression.
“Why should I be the one to get mad? Why is she avoiding me?”
Not wanting to be the one avoided, Taehyuk also turned his body and walked back into the emergency room.
Seeing him return to the emergency room, the emergency room resident, who had just returned, stopped and questioned him.

“Why, why are you here again?”
He was shocked, thinking Taehyuk came to cut open a real patient’s stomach.
“Don’t mind me and do your job.”
Taehyuk said this and sat down on a chair near the entrance of the emergency room.
Just sitting there, he exuded a presence that made everyone uneasy, so the emergency room doctors examined him and mumbled.
“Why isn’t he leaving? Is someone really going to get caught and die today?”
“But unlike earlier, doesn’t he seem a bit more intimidating?”
In response to the intern’s remark that the venomous snake seemed more intimidating, everyone gave a sharp glance.
Who could intimidate the person who tried to cut open a gangster’s stomach with a scalpel?
Everyone agreed that it was impossible.

Three icons of stars.
It’s Sunday.
The day of the decisive meeting between Choi Taehyuk and Jang Suho, the matchmaker for Moon Nayoung.
Seungjun, who was dragged along to the place, repeatedly shook his head, saying it wasn’t right.
“I really shouldn’t be going with you. I’m against violence.”
Cha Hyeon said calmly while sipping coffee.
“Taehyuk is good at fighting, but he didn’t meet Jang Suho to fight.”
“How can you be sure? That guy tried to teach gangsters a lesson in the emergency room.”
Having heard about the incident in the emergency room, Seungjun was convinced that something worse would happen today.
Thump.

Putting down the tea cup, Cha Hyeon explained.
“He didn’t call Hong Shik. If he wanted to fight, he would have called a fighter. Not someone like us.”
Hearing that, Seungjun immediately got agitated and leaned forward.
“Who’s ‘someone like us’? I just haven’t fought, that’s all. I’ve been into sports!”
“Then there’s no problem going together.”
Seungjun pushed his body back, shaking his head in refusal.
“Why waste my precious holiday on someone else’s business?”
“I set up a blind date for Jang Suho and your younger sister. Isn’t that also someone else’s business?”
At the mention of a blind date, Seungjun’s eyes widened.
“What? Who went on a blind date with whom?”

Wearing a neat suit like the Grim Reaper, Taehyuk, who had just come out of a room, watched Seungjun grab Cha Hyeon by the collar and get angry. Taehyuk chuckled and intervened.
“Today, my business is more urgent. Let’s deal with Cha Hyun and your younger sister later.”
Cha Hyun frowned and stared at Taehyuk as if scolding him.
O Seungjun became dazed, his head filled with too much information all at once.
Why were men suddenly getting involved with his forever-single younger sister as if they were catching fish?
“Oh? Wasn’t that the reason you got grabbed by the collar?”
“I just mentioned that I set up a blind date with Jang Suho.”
“Oh! Sorry. I misunderstood.”
Taehyuk apologized briefly and walked away to the entrance.
As Seungjun gazed at Cha Hyun with eyes seeking an explanation, Cha Hyun suggested avoiding him by moving backward.
“Let’s handle Jang Suho first.”

Since Seungjun now had a reason to leave, the three men headed to the agreed-upon meeting place together.
Taehyuk admonished the two of them.
“If I can’t control myself and try to throw a punch, stop me.”
That’s why he deliberately brought the two of them along.
One person seemed insufficient.
“Jang Suho against that guy, Moon Nayoung on a blind date, it’s a total mess. A guy like him needs a good beating.”
However, one of them malfunctioned and ended up encouraging Taehyuk to hit Jang Suho.
Cha Hyun, with a short fake cough, informed O Seungjun.
“Taehyuk used your sister as a shield to separate Jang Suho and Moon Nayoung.”
Hearing the truth, Seungjun scolded Taehyuk.

“You’re the worst!”
At that moment, Jang Suho entered the cafe.
Taehyuk’s gaze sharpened.
“He’s here.”
O Seungjun and Cha Hyun simultaneously looked toward the cafe entrance.
Only Seungjun’s expression brightened upon seeing the approaching man.
He had the appearance of a well-bred young man, well-educated and raised in a good family.
The kind of person parents with daughters would definitely admire.
Even with three men together, Jang Suho calmly greeted them.
“Sorry for making you wait.”

More precisely, he had arrived exactly on time for the appointment.
When Taehyuk looked at Jang Suho, O Seungjun gestured him to take a seat.
“Sit down.”
Jang Suho took a seat in the remaining space.
Thus, the four men gathered in one place.
Different personalities, different growth environments, and different goals.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
