He was truly selfish.
And that was rendering her utterly helpless.
Na Young really didn’t know how to deal with Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.
The hospital was buzzing from morning due to a patient who was brought into the emergency room overnight.
“Yesterday, the actress Eun Byul was brought to our emergency room.”
“Wow! I’m envious of the emergency room staff for the first time. She must be as beautiful as a doll in person.”
The realtime Internet search was also filled with the name Eun Byul.
Eun Byul was a high teen star who rose to fame through a youth drama.
Now, at just twenty years old, she became a successful actress and had become the envy of all, for she had become young and rich.
The weekly meeting led by the hospital director mainly consisted of talks about hospital operations. It was a nuisance to attend, but professorlevel and above were required to participate, and unless there was an urgent surgery, they couldn’t miss it.
Tae Hyuk first heard the name Eun Byul there.
“Keep your subordinates strictly in check so that no unnecessary words get out to the media. These days, with SNS and everything, it’s easy to blow up even a small matter. And who’s in charge of Eun Byul?”
Yoon Ina raised her hand.
The director of the hospital, knowing that the calm and intelligent Yoon Ina was in charge, wore a relieved expression.
It was fortunate that she wasn’t a male doctor.
“Because celebrities can influence the hospital image, Professor Yoon, please pay extra attention.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Seung Jun, who was sitting next to him, tapped Tae Hyuk’s arm and showed him the phone screen.
“This is Eun Byul. Isn’t she pretty?”
Tae Hyuk looked at the screen and said.
“If you had succeeded in your first love, you would have a daughter like her.”
In Tae Hyuk’s eyes, Eun Byul, whose baby fat hadn’t yet disappeared, looked like a high school student.
Upon hearing the story of his painful first love, Seung Jun also became emotional and attacked.
“There’s not much age difference between Eun Byul and Moon Na Young.”
Thump!
The sound of Tae Hyuk kicking Seung Jun’s chair was quite loud, and everyone’s eyes were on them.
“Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, do you have something to say?”
When the director of the hospital asked him with an unwelcome gaze, Tae Hyuk calmly answered.
“We’re not in the service industry, so I don’t think we need to match the patient’s mood.”
Director Park looked at him with a glare that seemed to tell him to shut up.
But the already upset director of the hospital announced that he would end the meeting and left the meeting room in an angry stride.
Director Park hurriedly got up and followed the director of the hospital.
“It’s good to be Professor Choi. Living your life saying whatever you want.”
Hearing this from a professor who was far senior to him, Tae Hyuk felt wronged.
These days, he had been careful about what he said.
Yoon Ina stopped in front of him and smiled. It made him feel uneasy.
“Thanks for standing up for me.”
How did that happen?
Tae Hyuk got up from his seat and left the conference room.
Seung Jun, who was left behind, comforted Yoon Ina.
“Don’t mind him. He’s been in a bad mood for more than a day or two.”
But Yoon Ina couldn’t take her eyes off the door that Tae Hyuk had gone through.
Praise poured out for sharing Madam Hwang’s lunchbox with Seung Hee at lunch.
“Wow, the cooking skills are killer. Who made this?”
She was becoming increasingly nervous as she felt herself becoming accustomed to Madam Hwang’s cooking skills.
When she ate Madam Hwang’s lunchbox, other foods lacked taste.
Every time she thought of that, the image of the pompous Professor Choi Tae Hyuk came to mind, and Na Young couldn’t help but feel bitter.
“Eun Byul was admitted to our department, right? But they’re treating her like a toptier VIP. I haven’t even seen her face. Only the primary and attending physicians can enter the room. Isn’t that too much?”
Seung Hee grumbled about not being able to see the face of the famous celebrity.
“Eun Byul is only twenty years old. Why was she admitted to a gastrointestinal surgery department?”
Being admitted to a surgical department instead of internal medicine meant she was going to have surgery.
It was uncommon for a stomach to be so damaged at a young age that it required surgery.
“It seems her dietary habits have been a mess. She has severe ulcers and needs to undergo gastrectomy.”
Her usual reckless lifestyle pattern could have fostered the disease, but there was also a good chance her stomach was innately weak.
“Would she be happy becoming a star while ruining her body like that?”
“Of course she would be happy. She even gets to shoot kissing scenes with Cha Jun Woo!”
Seung Hee strongly insisted, mentioning the name of the male actor she liked.
Eun Byul’s life was bound to be happy.
“Oh! Professor Yoon. Enjoy your lunch.”
When Seung Hee spotted Professor Yoon Ina and greeted her, the smile that had been hanging on Na Young’s lips disappeared instantly.
It was Yoon Ina and Oh Seung Jun who had come to the cafeteria for food after the meeting.
“So, the two of you are having a lunchbox.”
“Yes, Na Young packed it and it’s really delicious.”
Oh Seung Jun, who roughly guessed the identity of the lunchbox, warned his sister Seung Hee.
“Never eat this again. If anyone finds out, you’re dead.”
Seung Hee glanced at Seung Jun as if he was talking nonsense.
Yoon Ina, after staring at Oh Seung Jun, turned her gaze to Na Young and smiled faintly.
“So, the beautiful one is good at cooking too.”
As it didn’t sound like a compliment at all, Na Young deflected it nonchalantly.
“It’s not made by me.”
Yoon Ina placed the drink that had been on the food tray in front of Na Young.
“Are you from the biliary pancreas department, Dr. Moon? Could you pass this on to Professor Choi Tae Hyuk?”
Na Young’s eyes involuntarily scowled.
She wondered what this was about.
“If you tell him it’s a thank you gift for helping me at the weekly meeting, Professor Choi will understand.”
Despite the warm spring air, a bonechilling cold could be felt in the gaze the two women exchanged, causing Oh Seung Jun to flinch.
Choi Tae Hyuk, you’re in big trouble.
Tae Hyuk, who was reviewing the paper over a cup noodle lunch in the lab, looked towards the door at the sound of a knock.
Seeing Na Young enter through the door, his expression brightened.
Walking over to the desk, Na Young put down a neatly washed lunch box and a drink.
“What is this? A reward for the lunch box?”
Tae Hyuk naturally thought so, opening the lid of the drink immediately and taking a sip, but Na Young spoke in a blunt tone.
“Professor Yoon Hye Won gave it.”
“Pfft!”
Tae Hyuk spat out the drink he was sipping.
So surprised that the drink went into his windpipe, his throat was madly hot.
Coughing roughly, Tae Hyuk scolded Na Young.
“Why did you bring this here! Cough! Cough!”
Looking at him spewing venom as if he was about to be poisoned with one sip of the drink, Na Young, who had been watching in silence, asked in a low voice.
“Why were there rumors that you two were dating at the hospital if you’ve never dated?”
Na Young crossed her arms and raised her chin.
“Explain it.”
Tae Hyuk’s coughing stopped out of tension.
He had never heard a request for an explanation sound so threatening.
