Tae Hyuk grumbled, his face crumpling in annoyance.
“We’re already late anyway.”
As a professor, he might not be scolded for being late, but as a first-year resident, she would be treated like a criminal for tardiness.
Unable to wake him with her hands, Na Young kicked him sharply to wake him immediately.
“Get up right now!”
“Ouch!”
Feeling a sharp pain, Tae Hyuk instantly opened his eyes.
“You…”
The first morning they spent together, she had run away secretly, but this second morning, she seemed intent on turning him into a eunuch. It appeared they were utterly incompatible with mornings.
In the car heading back to Seoul, Na Young called Chief Dong Gun to apologize for being late.
“I’m really sorry. This won’t happen again. I apologize.”
Click.
After she hung up and sighed deeply, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, who was driving, commented.
“How many times can you say sorry in one call?”
Na Young glanced at him with a light look.
“You’re lucky, Professor. No one to scold you.”
“Should I explain to Dong Gun for you?”
“What? No way!”
Her alarmed expression and raised voice made Tae Hyuk chuckle and speed up the car.
“Anyway, I can’t make excuses or save you from getting scolded, so I guess being a professor isn’t all that great.”
Na Young couldn’t agree with his self-deprecation.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk could save lives with his surgical skills – if that wasn’t remarkable, what was?
Since she couldn’t arrive at the hospital in his car, she asked to be dropped off before the hospital’s entrance.
It was three minutes to 8 a.m.
She would have to run to make it in time for the morning rounds.
As the car stopped, she hurriedly opened the door to leave, but Tae Hyuk quickly called out to her.
“Mun Na Young!”
Just before she ran off, she turned to look at him. He spoke hastily.
“Come to my room after work.”
“I have mandatory night duty today.”
She immediately refused and ran towards the hospital.
Tae Hyuk watched her rushing figure and laughed wryly.
“Back to her usual self as soon as she returns to the hospital.”
But their relationship had definitely progressed since before their trip to the sea.
Now, whether inside or outside the hospital, Tae Hyuk intended to imprint on her that he was an indispensable part of her life.
Back at the hospital, she resumed her role as a first-year resident in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, and he as Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, diligently performing their duties.
Having been late, she caused trouble for her colleagues, so she took on emergency room duty as a penalty.
And as if being punished, the ER was inundated with calls all day.
Indeed, honesty and diligence seemed to be the best policy to avoid stepping in trouble.
Second-year ER resident Lee Ho showed her the test records of a patient.
“There’s bleeding near the liver on the CT. I called you for that.”
“A trauma patient?”
“Not exactly…”
Lee Ho trailed off, then explained in a low voice so only she could hear.
“They look like gangsters. Seems they got hurt in a fight.”
Na Young frowned automatically.
But as a doctor, she couldn’t choose her patients.
She put on her mask and walked towards the patient’s bed.
Three large men in black suits surrounded the bed, making the patient barely visible.
Na Young calmly instructed them.
“Please, everyone except the injured patient, leave the emergency room.”
The three burly men turned to look at her with menacing expressions.
Exiting the operating room, Tae Hyuk felt the irony of time.
It had only been a day, yet the memory of going to the sea in Gangwon Province with Na Young felt like a distant past.
Instead of eating, he decided to go see her.
As a first-year resident, Na Young would likely be either in the surgical ward or the ER, so it wasn’t a difficult task to find her.
On his way to meet Na Young, Tae Hyuk sent a message to Cha Hyun, asking for advice.
Cha Hyun promptly replied.
Now prepared for what to do when he met Na Young, Tae Hyuk oddly found it difficult to locate her in the hospital.
She was neither in the surgical ward nor the ER. Eventually, Tae Hyuk called her.
[The customer’s phone is off, and your call is being transferred to the voicemail.]
Realizing something was wrong when the phone of a resident, who should be on 24-hour standby, was off, Tae Hyuk hurried to the station and asked a nurse.
“Where is Doctor Mun Na Young now?”
The nurse looked troubled and answered.
“She went to find a patient who disappeared from the ER and was due for surgery.”
The disappearance of an ER patient, critical enough to need surgery, was not common, causing Tae Hyuk to have a bad feeling.
“What patient?”
“The ER staff said it was a gangster. Oh?”
The nurse stopped mid-sentence, surprised as Professor Choi Tae Hyuk suddenly turned and ran off.
It seemed he was moving even faster than the patient who had disappeared from the ER.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
