While being moved to the operating room as patients, the two lying on the mobile bed crossed paths. The patient, Hwang Myung Soon, the motherinlaw, reached out to her daughterinlaw first.
The daughterinlaw stared at the outstretched wrinkled hand for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold her motherinlaw’s hand.
“It will be alright. Mother.”
At her single sentence, a heavy weight fell on Na Young’s chest, feeling the emotions that had built up over the many years.
She wondered if their relationship wouldn’t change drastically once the surgery was over and the patient, Hwang Myung Soon, recovered.
Their interlocked hands separated, and Gong Ye Ja and Su Hye Ja entered their respective operating rooms.
Na Young assisted in the operating room where Professor Choi Tae Hyuk led Su Hye Ja’s surgery.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk removed the blackened, useless liver from the patient’s body.
She received the enormous liver that was taken out of the patient’s body. It was just like a rock.
That was when Professor Choi Tae Hyuk checked his watch, and a resident holding the liver separated from Gong Ye Ja walked in through the operating room door.
“Please take care of this.”
The resident’s words lingered for a while as he handed over the liver.
Those familiar words that could be heard anywhere, only associated with life in this operating room.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk immediately put the healthy liver into the patient’s body and connected the bile duct and blood vessels.
Everything progressed smoothly, without wasting even a second.
And the surgery ended 30 minutes earlier than scheduled.
The completion of the transplantation surgery didn’t mean everything was finished.
Now they had to manage the immunosuppressive treatment well, and thoroughly prevent any possible infection after the surgery.
Until the patient was safely discharged, there was no rest for the doctors and nurses.
Still, they decided to have a small celebration party to commemorate the successful completion of the transplant surgery.
It was just a modest gathering, nothing more than a feast with pork belly and soju, despite the grandiose name, “party”.
“Wow, it’s the first time we’re having a gathering like this after your surgery, Professor Choi.”
Dong Geon seemed to be in a good mood, both the surgery and the feast having ended well.
Na Young, who assisted in a liver transplant surgery for the first time, had mixed feelings.
It felt like she had done something great, yet it also felt like she hadn’t done anything at all.
It was a surgery where she clearly realized how great a surgeon Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was.
So, it seemed that he could approach her without hesitation.
He believed that he was confident in his surgery and wouldn’t be disturbed by her.
That was both enviable and annoying.
She was sure to disturb him.
So, she absolutely shouldn’t accept him easily.
With this resolve, Na Young, who was about to eat her pork belly with chopsticks, froze when she locked eyes with Professor Choi Tae Hyuk sitting across from her.
He stared at her intently and brought his glass to his lips.
He wouldn’t even glance at her in the hospital, but outside the hospital, he was so blatant.
‘Does that mean it’s okay to kiss outside the hospital?’
Suddenly that thought came to mind, and her face flushed hotly.
Na Young quickly averted his gaze, looking at Dong Geon.
Dong Geon was setting down the glass of alcohol in his hand.
“I was just going to have a drink, and Professor Choi is glaring at me.”
What an interpretation.
This guy really lacked tact. That was a relief for her.
“Do you need to go to the hospital to see patient Hwang Myeong Soon? Shall I do it?”
Dong Geon even waved his hand in refusal.
“If Professor Choi knows, I will be the only one in trouble. I’ll just do it.”
Dong Geon said it was okay, but she didn’t drink either.
She planned to thoroughly review today’s liver transplant surgery when she returned to the hospital.
So when Dong Geon got up to go see patient Hwang Myeong Soon, she also got up.
“Then we will go ahead.”
The remaining people were all senior to them, so the two bowed their heads in greeting and left the barbeque restaurant.
Na Young’s cellphone rang as she was heading to the hospital with Dong Geon.
When she checked, there was a message with a strong assertion.
<Wait at the convenience store in front of the hospital. Professor Choi Tae Hyuk>
How amusing. As if he could just decide.
Na Young snorted as she put her cell phone back in her pocket, but it rang again.
<If you don't wait, I will have no choice but to come to the medical department. Professor Choi Tae Hyuk>
Na Young scowled at her cell phone.
The professor, who seemed so great in the operating room, acted like a jerk as soon as he left the hospital.
There was no middle ground with people. They were either very good, or very bad.
“I need to stop by the convenience store. You go ahead, Chief.”
Na Young sent Dong Geon off to the hospital alone and waited for Professor Choi Tae Hyuk under the parasol in front of the convenience store.
Even under the streetlights, the brilliant cherry blossoms were a clear sign of spring.
Living locked up in the hospital, she didn’t even know spring had come.
Plod, plod.
Hearing the sound of someone’s heels approaching, she turned her head, and saw Professor Choi Tae Hyuk coming towards her.
Standing tall.
He stopped in front of her.
Pink petals falling from the sky fluttered down onto his shoulder.
A pheromone that seduced reason was clearly exuding from his gaze at her.
“Can I sit next to you?”
She was slightly shaken for a moment, but fortunately, she quickly came to her senses.
It was a good thing she hadn’t had any alcohol.
So she could make a correct judgement.
Na Young sat up straight and pointed to the seat in front of her with her hand.
“No, you should sit in front, Professor.”
That meant to keep a distance, so Tae Hyuk raised his eyebrows slightly.
He stuck his hand in his pocket and said one word.
“We’re outside the hospital now.”
She accepted it with a smile, maintaining her politeness.
“We’re right in front of the hospital.”
Tae Hyuk clicked his tongue briefly and reluctantly sat down in the seat she pointed to.
“I finally got you out of the hospital, and you’re making excuses.”
It sounded as if he had intentionally held the dinner party because of her.
Today’s dinner was merely a meaningful occasion to celebrate the successful completion of the liver transplant surgery.
It wasn’t a gathering for the two of them.
Na Young decided to strike first before he could rattle her.
“Actually, Professor Choi isn’t exactly my type.”
At her provocation, Tae Hyuk was annoyed.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
