“I strictly adhere to the legal working hours set by the country, and my salary has never been delayed. I get paid twice as much as on the mainland. If you’re not going to introduce someone to work, don’t tell me to rest.”
Seonwoo’s lips, which had been facing the monitor the whole time, pursed at Chihwang’s words.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I was wondering where you’re not feeling well. Make an outpatient appointment as soon as possible for two months.”
“It’s time to die. If I had taken someone else’s life and lived for another ten years, wouldn’t that be a lot of life?”
“I didn’t perform the surgery just so you could live for only ten more years.”
“Fancy words. Even if you speak nicely, the number of patients will double.”
“How much more here.”
At Seonwoo’s complete silence, Chihwang frowned and took out his phone from his pocket. Browsing through his gallery, Chihwang found a photo and handed it to Seonwoo.
“Do this. It’s 800,000 pyeong.”
“What is it? This prescription?”

“I don’t have a child to inherit it anyway, and there’s no one to take care of me like you. The only one who volunteered to take care of an old man dying is you.”
Seonwoo pushed his phone, which had been stretched out in front of him, towards Chihwang.
“Why should I take this?”
“It’s a sin to save a dying old man. Just let him die; why keep him alive and create a burden?”
“Put it away. It’s a lot of money.”
“This guy thinks this prescription is a joke. How much is that doctor’s salary? It’s almost as much as the annual sales of a small and medium-sized company. Nearly 800,000 pyeong.”
Do you know how much 800,000 pyeong is? Watching Seonwoo, who had been suppressing his laughter, burst into laughter.
“Why do you keep laughing like a crazy person?”
“Your voice seems louder, and you seem to be living another ten years.”
“Darn it, stop making jokes. These days, even walking is difficult. I want to be born again, get married, see my children, and travel around the world with a new body.”

“It’s not too late yet.”
“This guy!”
Looking at Chihwang, Seonwoo smiled and said, “Don’t come like this unexpectedly; come next time during the next outpatient appointment. The less we see each other, the better.”
After the examination, Seonwoo’s phone, which had been leaning against the chair, rang.
“Yes, Lawyer.”
[Wonju Sung contacted me. Should I tell him to come to the office tomorrow at the end of Professor’s consultation?]Lost in thought, Seonwoo picked up the desk calendar on the desk. Then he counted the dates with his eyes.
“Next Wednesday would be good.”
[Next week? Isn’t it urgent?]“Let’s meet around 7 o’clock. Thank you, Lawyer Shin.”
Ending the call, Seonwoo, who had been massaging his temples, approached the window of the examination room.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed two thick notebooks on the desk, and with a sharp cracking sound, the window shattered into pieces.

Heewon, who had embraced Taegyu with piles of documents, stood up from her seat.
“The rest, ask Professor Yoon. He should be in the consultation room.”
“Oh, why are you making me do this?”
“Hey, you. Should I do it? Leave a new 1-year resident like you alone?”
When Taegyu gave a disgusted look, Heewon approached him.
“Keep family fights at home. Don’t fight even in the hospital.”
“What family fight?”
“Aren’t you fighting over who gets the hospital? I know roughly, you punk.”
“Who said that?”
As Taegyu grumbled, Heewon put down the documents on the table.

“What fight? It’s arrogance. I asked Grandpa to look at me, that’s all.”
“Uh, Yoon Taegyu is growing up.”
“I knew it. Knowing that he’s an opponent you can’t beat from the beginning. That’s why I was more ambitious.”
“It’s fortunate that you realize it now.”
“Oh, really.”
Heewon embraced the documents that Taegyu had put down and returned them to his arms.
“What are you doing? I’m leaving work. Go quickly. If you go near the end of working hours, Professor Yoon will scold you.”
The steps toward the thoracic surgery department were heavy. It wasn’t a problem to go find Seonwoo; it was because he didn’t want to run into Narim.
“You don’t even know.”
Taegyu scratched his head and headed to Seonwoo’s examination room with the documents. As expected, on the way passing by the station, he caught a glimpse of Narim’s face.
Why does it have to be Sim Hoseok?

Do you know what that guy you’re about to meet is thinking? Should I say this or not?
As Narim’s face came to mind, Taegyu’s head throbbed.
“No, it’s because of the vodka I drank yesterday.”
Ah, I don’t know. Let’s not worry about it. Trying to hypnotize himself, Taegyu quickly left the station.
The right index finger that had hit Hoseok ached faintly.
Arriving at Seonwoo’s office, Taegyu knocked on the door.
“OS (Orthopedic Surgery), Yoon Taegyu.”
“Come in.”
Taegyu, who had entered the examination room without much thought, stopped abruptly in front of the window when he saw Seonwoo bleeding by the window.
The footsteps, which had been going well until now, stopped because he didn’t want to face Narim.

“Do you know even though you don’t know?”
The right arm that had pulled out the glass was treated casually, and seeing that, Taegyu, who witnessed the scene alternately between the broken window and Seonwoo, suddenly regained his senses and asked.
“What’s wrong? Why is your hand like that?”
Tapping the right arm from which he had removed the glass, Seonwoo said, “Give me a sprint (splint) here.”
“What? Isn’t it an abrasion? What happened to cause that?”
“It’s noisy, hurry.”
“Ah, okay.”
After dressing and finishing the cast, Taegyu frowned.
“What’s this show?”
“I got slightly hurt.”

“If you lie, it’s a violation of medical law.”
“I saw it earlier. It’s true that I got hurt by scraping against the glass.”
If you can’t even say that. Tsk. Taegyu, who had been sucking on his short tongue, seemed to think of something and tapped down Seonwoo’s cast. Seonwoo narrowed his eyes.
“Ah, that bear doll that Eunjae carries around?”
“What about it?”
“Well, that’s a doll made by her mom, and there’s only one in the world. She was pestering me.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“Ah, what was I trying to say?”
As if realizing something, Taegyu pushed down the cast.
“I’ll report and bring the documents tomorrow. Stop making noise and go out now. You’re so agitating.”

Just sucking on benefits. Isn’t this unnecessary now? Taegyu glared at Seonwoo. As always, Seonwoo met his gaze as if nothing happened.
Taking a disdainful breath, Taegyu, who had risen from his seat, sat back on the sofa.
“Oh, I remember. The bag I used to carry in elementary school is still there. There’s something similar to the bear doll Eunjae carries. You know, back then, I found my brother a bit scary. He would suddenly wake up and scream, ‘Samgyetang from the inside out!’ or something like that.”
“What? Where is that?”
“In the basement storage room at our family home.”
Watching Seonwoo suddenly stand up, Taegyu, who was left alone in the examination room, shouted at the now empty door.
“What! Why! What’s going on? Tell me before you go!”
