Startled by the sudden suggestion of living together, Na Young’s mind went blank for a moment.
She must have let her guard down for a moment because Professor Choi Tae Hyuk had eaten tteokbokki with her.
He was teaching her that if she let her guard down in front of him, it would cause a big problem.
She couldn’t refuse him until the three opportunities were over, but she definitely had to be careful.
Because there was still a lot left of her first year as a resident.
Na Young deflected with a professional smile.
“Senior Nam Ho Jin is also looking for a house. Then you can live with him.”
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk immediately frowned.
“Do you want me to die from high blood pressure?”
“Then are you saying I should die from my father?”
When Na Young repeatedly emphasized that her father was strict, Tae Hyuk crossed his arms and changed to a serious expression.
Na Young’s father, whom he had never met, seemed to be the biggest stumbling block in their relationship.
Maybe the father’s side was harder than the fact that she was in her first year of residency.
Na Young quickly hailed an approaching taxi.
“I’ll take the taxi then.”
“Ah! Wait a moment!”
Tae Hyuk tried to stop her, but Na Young got into the taxi and left faster than ever before.
Tae Hyuk looked at the departing taxi with a disheartened expression.
“So you’re leaving me behind like this?”
She had already used two chances, but she didn’t seem to be caught at all.
To find out what he did wrong, Tae Hyuk immediately went to find Cha Hyun.
“You ate tteokbokki?”
Cha Hyun asked him over and over again, looking at him with a face that couldn’t believe it. The expression that it must have been a misunderstanding.
“I told Moon Na Young to eat what she wanted.”
Tae Hyuk thought he had done well.
And the tteokbokki at the snack bar where Na Young took him was really delicious.
It was several times better than pasta.
“So you ate tteokbokki on a date with a woman?”
Cha Hyun now burst into laughter.
Tae Hyuk was already far from normal, but now Moon Na Young also felt like she was not normal.
“Didn’t you deliberately take her to the tteokbokki restaurant to get rid of your feelings for her?”
Tae Hyuk couldn’t agree with what Cha Hyun said negatively.
“It was her real regular restaurant. The owner there recognized Moon Na Young first.”
“Even if that’s true, if she had even a little desire to become your girlfriend, it seems like you wouldn’t have taken her to a tteokbokki restaurant.”
Upon hearing that Moon Na Young had no desire at all to become his lover, so she suggested going to a snack bar, Tae Hyuk’s expression hardened.
“Why?”
“You can’t be coy while eating tteokbokki.”
Tae Hyuk frowned and denied it.
“Originally, Moon Na Young had no pretense.”
“When a woman who originally has no pretense starts to like someone, she tends to dress up and want to look pretty in front of that man. It’s like an instinct.”
When Tae Hyuk closed his mouth tightly and said nothing more, Cha Hyun patted his shoulder as consolation.
“There’s still one more chance left.”
He knew that too. He hadn’t completely given up yet.
But he was not at ease.
“Does Moon Na Young really not like me at all?”
Cha Hyun couldn’t answer on behalf of Moon Na Young.
“Why do you like Moon Na Young then?”
Cha Hyun found that even more curious.
She does have a pretty face, but she wasn’t the only beautiful woman to that extent.
Rather, the women he introduced to Tae Hyuk were prettier, more glamorous, and more sociable.
But Tae Hyuk never once wavered at those women.
If it was because Moon Na Young was a doctor and they could communicate well, it wasn’t that there were no female doctors who liked Tae Hyuk.
Rather, those women were more experienced doctors than Moon Na Young, who was in her first year as a resident.
“I felt like I’d known her for a long time from the moment I first saw her.”
“Really? Have you met her a long time ago?”
Tae Hyuk shook his head.
Hearing that he felt like he’d met her, even though he had no memory of it, Cha Hyun just laughed.
He didn’t mock his friend’s serious expression with a childish talk of destiny.
Na Young took a taxi home.
Even on her days off, she really had no time to go home, so even though it was late, she deliberately went home, not to the hospital.
“Oh my. Isn’t this the outfit I bought you?”
Seeing Na Young wearing the clothes she bought for the first time and coming home, her mother Yeon Hee smiled.
“It suits you very well.”
Her mother liked it, but her father criticized her for dressing up too much at the hospital as soon as he saw her outfit.
So Na Young immediately went to her room, changed her clothes, and came back out.
Her mother prepared a simple dinner for her who came late.
Na Young was not hungry at all, but she sat down at the dining table.
“Where’s Hwi Young?”
Na Young asked about her missing younger brother while holding her spoon.
“He’s out. He’s hardly at home these days.”
Na Young smirked as Hwi Young lived as if not just the military, but the end of the world was coming.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
