Three hours earlier.
Na Young tried to work calmly and wait during the transplant surgery, but the talk among the surgical residents was distressingly pessimistic.
“It seems most likely that this surgery will be the first table death for Choi Tae Hyuk since he joined this hospital.”
“Ah, poor baby.”
Bang!
Na Young slammed a medical textbook on the table, silencing the room. She glared coldly at Nam Ho Jin and Kim Young Mi.
“Is it appropriate for doctors to talk about a patient dying during surgery?”
Instead of feeling ashamed, Nam Ho Jin looked incredulously at her.
“Why are you suddenly defending him? Did he treat you specially or something?”
Not wanting to waste time arguing with Nam Ho Jin, Na Young left the department. Although she was anxious about the unfinished surgery, she decided it would be better to prepare to congratulate Choi Tae Hyuk on a successful surgery, confident that he would succeed.
She took her wallet and stepped out of the hospital, walking through the city streets lined with lampposts, reminiscing about everything that had happened. It felt like just yesterday that she was horrified to see Choi Tae Hyuk at the hospital, thinking him a disaster. Now, she was accustomed to the hospital with him in it, feeling it would be very empty without him.
Upon opening the rooftop door, Tae Hyuk stopped in his tracks at the sight of a candle-lit cake and champagne.
Na Young clapped her hands in welcome, knowing his arrival meant the surgery was successful.
“Come and blow out the candles.”
“Why? It’s not even my birthday.”
“It’s to celebrate your successful surgery.”
Tae Hyuk chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief.
“I’ve had many successful surgeries. Why celebrate this one?”
“Because it’s the first time you almost ran away from one.”
Tae Hyuk mockingly clutched his chest as if struck.
“Hurry up.”
Na Young brought the cake closer to him, and he blew out the candles reluctantly.
“I figured you wouldn’t have eaten properly today, so I prepared some food too. Eat up.”
There were sushi and sandwiches besides the cake and champagne. Seeing Tae Hyuk just looking at the food without touching it, Na Young asked curiously.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“What I really want to eat right now is instant noodles.”
Na Young was flabbergasted. After all the effort of selecting a variety of foods, he wanted instant noodles.
“Just eat the sushi.”
“Imagine how good it would taste with the noodles.”
Na Young looked like she wanted to hit him, but then, she reluctantly pulled out a cup of instant noodles from a convenience store bag she had kept under the chair, just in case. Little did she know that it would become the main course.
Choi Tae Hyuk’s face lit up like he had won the world at the sight of the instant noodles.
“Talk about being a perfect match.”
“Don’t say such strange things!”
Na Young didn’t want to hear such remarks over just a cup of instant noodles. Choi Tae Hyuk professor swiftly opened the noodle cup and poured the soup mix in.
As she watched him, Na Young asked, “Why did you specifically want instant noodles?”
When you’re starving, you should eat a proper meal.
Choi Tae Hyuk professor simply answered as he poured hot water from a thermos into the cup.
“I thought of it on my way to the rooftop. Eating instant noodles with you here.”
Actually, she had also naturally recalled that day when she came up to the rooftop.
“It was really delicious back then.”
Na Young had been quite upset at the time, feeling involuntarily drawn to him against her will.
Tae Hyuk started eating the noodles before the three minutes were up, finishing a whole cup in just three bites. His eating style suited a food fighter more than a surgeon.
And his mukbang didn’t end until every piece of food she had brought was gone.
Seeing her just watching, Tae Hyuk asked, “Have you already had dinner?”
She had actually bought a lot to eat together, but watching him eat seemed even better.
Na Young just nodded, saying she had already eaten.
Just watching him eat made her feel full.
Finally, Choi Tae Hyuk professor took a one-shot of the champagne.
Then he looked content and said, “Now I feel alive.”
Seeing him at ease made Na Young feel relieved too.
“You worked really hard today.”
It was a sweet end to a long day.
Choi Tae Hyuk professor turned to her with a light tone.
“Do you know what I said to that baby before starting the surgery?”
Without much thought, Na Young replied, “That you’ll definitely make the surgery successful?”
Choi Tae Hyuk professor shook his head.
So Na Young looked puzzled, not understanding his point.
“What did you say, then?”
He leaned towards her and whispered in her ear, as if there was no one else to hear.
“I told the baby that after the surgery, I have to go to the beach with Moon Na Young, so you better get well.”
Na Young chuckled shortly.
“Were you thinking about going on a trip while focusing on the surgery?”
“No.”
Choi Tae Hyuk professor looked at her as if she couldn’t understand him.
“From now on, you are my lucky charm.”
