Taming the Wicked Professor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
At the word “photo” that came out of her mouth, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s expression instantly hardened as if it had been forged from steel.
“So you’re saying Dr. Moon had people take pictures of me?”
Where exactly did everything start going wrong?
What on earth did he think he knew?
Could he possibly have just been testing her?
Her mind became complicated, but dealing with the Professor Choi Tae Hyuk right in front of her was the urgent priority.
Right now, she was practically walking straight into a viper’s mouth on her own two feet.
Getting out unscathed seemed impossible.
Na Young explained slowly in a tense voice.
“Patient Lee Su Ji seemed like she would be happy to see a photo of you, Professor, so we offered a gift card as the prize.”
Hearing her confession, Tae Hyuk’s face crumpled uncontrollably.
“You dared to sell a professor like me for a gift card?”
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s scolding made it sound as though she had committed some enormous crime.
She hadn’t sold him—she had only taken photos.
And that was for the patient’s sake.
Yet the way he was looking at her right now was exactly the gaze one gives a traitor.
Seeing that look in his eyes made Na Young’s heart race with urgency.
“I only showed the photos to patient Lee Su Ji. Really. Please believe me.”
The veins bulging on his tightly clenched fist looked ferocious, as if representing his anger.
“Get out.”
His heavy words didn’t feel welcome to Na Young—they were even more frightening.
“Aren’t you going to make me write a report?”
Even Nam Ho Jin, who got caught just taking photos, had to write 50 pages.
Since she was the mastermind, she should receive an even harsher punishment than Nam Ho Jin.
“Get out right now.”
Feeling the danger in the murderous tone he spat out, Na Young hurriedly turned and left the lab.
Click.
The moment she closed the door, the sound of something being violently kicked inside the lab made Na Young flinch and shudder.
What am I going to do…
Shaking with fear, Na Young returned to the residents’ room.
Inside the lab, Tae Hyuk—who had just kicked the trash can with all his strength—lowered his head deeply and endured the surging shame.
This was the first time in his life he had ever felt this humiliated.
He had completely misread the situation and had been on the verge of confessing to a woman who felt nothing for him.
And arrogantly, as if he were graciously accepting her feelings.
The more he thought about it, the more insanely humiliating it felt.
***
Na Young posted in the residents’ group chat telling everyone to stop taking photos of Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.
And just like that, the steady stream of photos abruptly stopped.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk stayed quiet, the people taking photos stayed quiet, and it felt as if nothing had happened, but Na Young could sense it.
This wasn’t the end.
Perhaps the ordeal caused by this incident was only just beginning for her.
That night, Na Young sent Professor Choi Tae Hyuk a long apology message.
There was no reply from Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.
She wondered if he was staying silent because he was planning some severe punishment for her.
Because she was so anxious even before falling asleep, that night Na Young had a horrible nightmare where she was suffering as a daughter-in-law, scolded by Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s mother.
When she woke up, she felt paralyzed, as if bound by sleep paralysis.
What kind of insane nightmare was that.
She didn’t even know what Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s mother looked like.
But since that mother was raising a dog in the dream, it was definitely a “dog dream.”
Because of the dream she barely slept and went on morning rounds with a tired face, only to have everyone’s eyes turn to her at once.
They all clearly wanted to ask about Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, but no one dared to speak first.
She didn’t bring it up either. Getting forgiveness from Professor Choi Tae Hyuk came first.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk appeared at exactly 7:50 as usual.
She tried to meet his eyes, but Professor Choi didn’t spare her a single glance.
And that continued until rounds were over.
It seemed Professor Choi Tae Hyuk had decided to treat the woman who violated his portrait rights as invisible in return.
“Professor Choi!”
She called out first, chasing after him, but he walked away as if he hadn’t heard her.
Watching the scene, the residents each added a comment.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Moon Na Young chasing after someone, and the first time I’ve seen the viper torment someone with silence.”
“But isn’t 50 pages of report a harsher punishment?”
“Right! I’m the real victim here.”
Nam Ho Jin vented his grievance, but almost no one sympathized.
“It’s just that different people suffer from different things. For Moon Na Young, 50 pages would probably be less painful. When has our Madonna ever been ignored?”
“That’s true. Wow. Professor Choi is a seriously intelligent viper.”
Seeing her return dejected, it certainly looked like the viper professor’s ignoring tactic was working.
Everyone comforted Na Young, telling her not to worry about it.
Staying far away from a viper was actually better.
***
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s ignoring continued for three whole days, and fortunately, patient Lee Su Ji’s fever broke and she passed the critical stage.
The moment the urinary catheter was removed, Lee Su Ji came back to life and started chattering again.
“Now I’m going to take pictures of Professor Choi myself.”
She had already been properly marked by Professor Choi Tae Hyuk because of the photos, so when Lee Su Ji said she would take them herself, Na Young had no choice but to tell the truth.
Taking photos had been discovered by Professor Choi Tae Hyuk and was now forbidden.
“As expected, every rose has its thorns.”
Comparing the heavily muscled Professor Choi Tae Hyuk to a rose gave Na Young goosebumps.
But it didn’t feel entirely wrong either.
A rose……
That day, Na Young deliberately made time to go outside the hospital to a flower shop.
“Could you make a bouquet of white roses, please?”
Red roses are for confessions, so she chose white ones thinking they would be better for an apology.
She also bought a card, wrote a sincere apology message, and carefully wrote her name.
The pure, pretty white roses lifted her mood just by buying them.
She wasn’t sure if Professor Choi Tae Hyuk liked flowers, but she thought he would at least feel her genuine sincerity in apologizing.
If this still didn’t calm his anger, then there really was something wrong with his personality.
In that case, she planned to stop caring about his mood and just focus on work.
Walking while holding the bouquet, she drew even more attention than usual.
A beautiful woman carrying beautiful flowers was impossible to miss.
She didn’t mind strangers glancing once as they passed, but Na Young never imagined that hospital staff would see her with the bouquet and start spreading strange rumors.
All she could think about was soothing Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s feelings.
***
After finishing surgery and coming out of the operating room, Nam Ho Jin stood at full attention and handed over the 50-page report.
“I have completed the 50 pages as you instructed, Professor.”
He knew without looking that the content would be poor since Nam Ho Jin had only aimed to meet the page count.
“Leave it in my office.”
Tae Hyuk was exhausted from consecutive surgeries and passed Nam Ho Jin to head straight to the changing room.
Nam Ho Jin pretended to throw a punch at his back, but the moment Tae Hyuk turned around, he immediately switched to a fighting pose.
“Great work today as well, Professor.”
“…….”
When Tae Hyuk just kept staring silently, Nam Ho Jin hurriedly turned and fled.
Tae Hyuk didn’t bother stopping him.
With that personality, he would surely get caught again soon anyway.
Tae Hyuk walked to the changing room, turned the handle, and was about to open the door when he heard voices inside.
“Who gave Moon Na Young that bouquet?”
He froze.
His body, about to push the door open, stopped dead.
It seemed the Moon Na Young they were talking about inside was the one he knew.
“The important thing is that Moon Na Young carried that bouquet like it was precious.”
A bitter feeling swept through his insides, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Moon Na Young accepted a bouquet without rejecting the guy? What’s going on?”
“Some super impressive guy must have made a move.”
“Just how impressive does a guy have to be?”
“Moon Na Young’s father is an executive at Taeyoung Construction. Think about how many rich connections she must have.”
“No wonder. She rejects people coldly—of course the level is different.”
BAM!
The door flew open as if a storm had blown through, and when Tae Hyuk appeared, the chattering residents jumped in shock and the conversation cut off instantly.
With an ominous aura, he strode into the changing room, so the residents bowed their heads in greeting, grabbed the clothes they were changing into, and fled the room.
Left alone, Tae Hyuk roughly ripped off his surgical top and threw it on the floor.
The muscles on his back tensed ferociously.
***
Nam Ho Jin entered Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s office to submit the report.
He had planned to just leave the report on the desk and go, but curiosity arose when he spotted a bouquet of white roses, so he walked over.
“Did a patient’s family leave this?”
He pulled out the card stuck in the bouquet and read it without permission.
Realizing the bouquet was from Moon Na Young, Nam Ho Jin’s face crumpled.
They had both been marked by Professor Choi Tae Hyuk over the photos, yet he had to write 50 pages while Moon Na Young received no punishment at all.
No matter how he thought about it, it was unfair.
Nam Ho Jin glared at the bouquet with discontent.
A pretty female resident had even given flowers as an apology—of course any man, even the viper Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, would soften immediately.
Nam Ho Jin reached out toward the bouquet.
He couldn’t be the only one suffering this injustice, so he would take the bouquet.
To Nam Ho Jin, it was just a small act of revenge born from the grievance of writing 50 pages alone.
Feeling satisfied with the momentary thrill was enough for him.
After all, it was just a bouquet that would wilt soon anyway.
***
When Cha Hyun walked into the bar, Tae Hyuk was drinking alone.
The way he was aggressively downing his drinks looked exactly like a man who had just been dumped.
Cha Hyun sat next to him and casually asked,
“What’s wrong? Already got rejected?”
Tae Hyuk placed a glass in front of Cha Hyun, poured him a drink, and asked,
“If she received a bouquet from some other guy, does that mean I got dumped?”
“What kind of guy gave her the bouquet?”
“No idea. I didn’t see.”
“Then you’re sure it was a guy who gave it to her?”
Tae Hyuk turned his head to look at Cha Hyun.
“What do you mean?”
Cha Hyun took a sip and said nonchalantly,
“It could have been a woman who gave it. Thinking flowers can only come from a man is kind of a prejudice.”
“…….”
Whoosh.
Tae Hyuk suddenly stood up and bolted out of the bar, but Cha Hyun didn’t bother stopping him.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
***
