“Sarak, sarak.
The sound of turning pages barely audible in the quiet office of Professor Seonwoo.
He sat on the sofa, occasionally flipping through the thesis, repeatedly wiping his itchy and tingling neck with his hand.
Seonwoo has a peach allergy.
Not severe, just enough to cause slight swelling of the lips or a rash on the skin.
Even that uncomfortable feeling made him keep a distance from peaches for decades. So, seeing peaches on the dining table was truly a rare event. Therefore, he was a bit surprised.
The reason he hesitated when bringing the fork to the salad was also related to this.
Even with just one bite, he emptied the entire salad plate. Moreover, despite not being good with spicy food, he ended up adding all the seasoning, and as a result, his stomach felt upset.
He used the excuse of a phone call to go upstairs to the 3rd floor and took the allergy medicine he had prepared in advance. Fortunately, that was all.
But still, compared to the past, things have improved a lot. Even in the midst of it all, he had such a foolish thought.
Even looking back at himself, he couldn’t understand his actions.
If someone had heard that he did such a thing, they would have scorned him with a look of pity. They would have asked how dangerous such behavior could be.
Yet, just in case, bringing his Jext (Jext Prefilled pen Inj: A disposable epinephrine injection for emergency treatment of anaphylaxis) felt so absurd.
First holiday, first cooking.
He must have thought and prepared carefully, hoping there would be no regrets.
When he finished the bowl, he remembered Eunjae’s satisfied expression, and Seonwoo, who had been fidgeting with the Jext in his pocket, chuckled.
I’m really crazy.
His colleague, Heewon, who was carefully watching Seonwoo, asked, “Where does it feel uncomfortable?”
“No, don’t worry about it. Since I won’t be able to come even if you contact me tomorrow, or rather, I won’t come, ask me now if you have any questions.”
Is it really necessary to call someone who is resting like this? Annoyed by Seonwoo’s words, Heewon grumbled.
“The guy who was attached to the hospital like a leech, these days it’s really hard to see his face. I was going to ask you tomorrow, but it’s also your day off. Are you taking consecutive days off?”
Heewon, who was continuing to speak, suddenly covered the paper he was looking at. Then he raised his voice towards Seonwoo.
“Why are you doing something you haven’t been doing, making me uneasy? Are you thinking about something else? If you’re not there, Yeonrim… No, it’s not possible! It’s terrifying even to think about it.”
“It’s better to do it in advance. It’s just that. When you try to do it at once, that’s how it is. You’re good at everything, and that’s the problem.”
“Ugh, nagging.”
Heewon, who covered his ears with his index finger, looked at Seonwoo with a sulky expression.
“What are you doing tomorrow? Are you going somewhere nice?”
At Heewon’s question, Seonwoo’s smile appeared on his lips, as if he had been lost in thought for a moment.
“What’s with that expression? Are you really going to a nice place?”
When Heewon widened his eyes and asked, Seonwoo covered all the materials for the paper that would be used at the conference.
“When I finish my business, I’ll leave.”
“What’s going on? Where are you really going?”
“I think I might have my first date.”
“First date?”
Seonwoo, who gathered his papers and nestled into Heewon’s arms, suddenly stood up.
“So, don’t interfere.”
After returning home from work and eating the tteokbokki Eunjae made, Taekyu, who was called in for conference preparations, was sprawled across the station like melted candle wax.
Then he sighed as if lamenting his fate.
“I must be crazy to go to medical school.”
“There’s not much time left. Just endure a little longer.”
Jung, the nurse sitting across from him, scolded Taekyu while rolling his eyes. Taekyu, putting the pen he was rolling in his hand into his chest pocket, asked Jung.
“Professor Jung hasn’t come yet, has he?”
“No. He went to Professor Yoon for a moment, saying he had something to receive. It’s almost time for him to come, so please wait a bit. Shall I call if it’s urgent?”
“No, that’s fine. I’ll wait.”
It seems like it’s his day off; the hospital wouldn’t run without Yoon Seonwoo.
Well, Yoon Seonwoo is a talent, after all.
“Hey. Do you actually like Seonwoo?”
“What? Who do I like?”
“It seems like you do. You deny it, but your words are full of affection. Oh, is it not affection but resentment?”
“No, there’s nothing like that.”
“Why. It’s good for family members to get along. I envy that.”
Why did that suddenly come to mind? It was a day when it was pouring rain. I recalled the conversation with Eunjae at the bus stop.
I don’t know why that suddenly came to mind, maybe on a day when it was pouring rain. I recalled the conversation I had with Eunjae at the bus stop.
‘What do you like anyway? You’re talking nonsense.’
No, well, at least when we were young…
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
