Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was about to turn around and leave.
Ignoring how she felt, as if it didn’t concern him.
Na Young clenched her fist.
“I’m disappointed in you, Professor.”
His steps halted abruptly.
Na Young poured out her heart to his back.
“How can you give up on a patient without even trying? I don’t want to be a doctor like you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Na Young turned and left the scene first.
She didn’t know that Tae Hyuk stood there, rooted to the spot for a long time after she left.
The unpleasant encounter left Na Young feeling uneasy.
This was the first time their relationship soured this much since she had deliberately avoided him at their first meeting.
But what concerned her more than their personal issues was the baby patient needing a liver transplant.
Tae Hyuk’s decision to give up on the surgery, citing its difficulty, didn’t make sense to her. Especially because he had successfully performed more complex surgeries while in Cleveland, USA.
His sudden turn to conservatism after returning to Korea seemed unreasonable.
Determined not to let the matter rest, she went to see Professor Oh Seung Joon in orthopedics.
“Please talk to Professor Choi. After all, you two live together.”
Seung Joon immediately shook his head at her request.
“He won’t listen to me. I’ll just get cursed for making a fuss. There’s a 99.99% chance of that.”
Seeing Na Young’s dejected face, Seung Joon squinted his eyes. He had never seen her like this before.
Always somewhat indifferent to others’ affairs, she was the department’s Madonna.
But was it not just Tae Hyuk’s folly?
He was about to get annoyed but couldn’t ignore it knowing a baby’s life was at stake.
“If you’re really worried, try contacting Director Cha Hyun.”
“Cha Hyun? He’s Tae Hyuk’s closest friend. He’s been his go-to for relationship advice…”
Before she could respond, Seung Joon laughed, offering his phone.
“Here’s his number if you want to call.”
Remembering Director Cha Hyun from the club and his visit to the hospital because of Eun Byul, Na Young took his number.
She sent a message right away.
Expecting no quick reply from the busy and famous Director Cha Hyun, she was surprised to receive an answer just a minute later.
Relieved yet anxious, Na Young worried.
If even Director Cha Hyun couldn’t help, it seemed there would be no other way.
Na Young paced nervously in front of the hospital’s main entrance, waiting for Director Cha Hyun.
As she waited, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s dismissive words kept coming back to her, dampening her mood.
Their relationship as a professor and a resident should have made such an exchange feasible.
It was an unnecessary hurt.
Yet, as a resident, she had asked him to perform the surgery. That’s why she couldn’t shake off the feeling of disappointment.
A Porsche smoothly rolled up to the hospital entrance and stopped.
A man stepped out from the car, sporting sunglasses and a suit smartly accented with a scarf instead of a tie, appearing relaxed and fashionable.
Even more attention-grabbing than the real celebrity Eun Byul.
As the man approached her, Na Young instinctively stepped back.
“Why is he coming to me?”
“Are you Moon Na Young?” he asked, removing his sunglasses, revealing himself to be Director Cha Hyun.
“Yes, I’ve seen you before in Eun Byul’s hospital room.”
“No need for introductions then. There’s a cafeteria on the first floor of the hospital. Let’s talk there.”
Though Na Young had invited him to the hospital, Cha Hyun led the way to the cafeteria inside the building.
When Cha Hyun moved to pay for the coffee, Na Young insisted on paying.
“I called you here, so I should pay.”
Cha Hyun relented, tucking his wallet back in his pocket.
“You keep a good distance from others.”
Though his offhand remark irked her, she let it slide. Her main focus today was to talk about Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, not herself.
Sitting across from Cha Hyun at a corner table, she explained her urgent reason for calling him.
“It’s the first time Professor Choi has refused a surgery for a patient. The patient could live a healthy life with the surgery, but Professor Choi says he can’t do it. It’s so unlike him. That’s why I called you, Director Cha Hyun. I heard you’re close to Professor Choi. Do you know why he refused the surgery for a 12-month-old baby?”
If Cha Hyun didn’t have an answer, she would have called the wrong person.
Cha Hyun didn’t respond immediately. He took a slow sip of his coffee and set the cup down.
“So, you’re concerned about Choi Tae Hyuk’s unusual behavior?”
Na Young hoped for an answer, but instead, Cha Hyun asked her a question, causing her eyes to flicker slightly.
“I’m more worried about the baby patient. The surgery needs to be done as soon as possible.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
