The 4th floor station was filled with buzz.
Just after finishing her rounds and heading towards the ward, Hye Ji glanced at the station and walked past it as if uninterested.
“Dr. Ju!”
At the urgent voice of the nurse Ina Rim calling her, Hye Ji stopped and looked back.
“What’s the matter? Why is it so chaotic?”
“Oh, because of this.”
“What is that?”
Ina Rim handed a white envelope with a card in it to Hye Ji. Without even opening it, it was clear what was inside. Hye Ji, with a smile, peeled off the sticker on the envelope and asked.
“It’s a wedding invitation, huh? Is this nurse getting married? I saw her engaged before, seems like it went well.”
“No, it’s not me… It’s Professor Yoon’s wedding invitation. He’s getting married this month, everyone says it’s all too sudden.”
The hand of Hye Ji, who was about to take out the card, stopped abruptly.
“Professor Yoon said if he couldn’t see you because of his schedule, to please pass this on instead.”
It was a lie.
They had run into each other in front of the station in the morning, and even though they were not alone, they had a brief conversation about a research grant.
Usually, he would have given it to me on the spot, or called me aside.
Even so, the fact that he asked this nurse to pass it on means he won’t even give me such an opportunity now.
Because that’s the kind of person you are.
A bitter taste filled her mouth. She had trouble controlling her facial expression.
“He didn’t say anything, just gave me the wedding invitation and left work, causing all this chaos.”
“….”
“Oh, Dr. Ju. About 4 months ago… Among the patients who were transferred to you when Dr. Go took maternity leave, do you remember the COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patient who hadn’t been settled for over 3 months and suddenly moved to the VIP ward?”
When Hye Ji nodded, Ina Rim whispered in her ear as if sharing a secret.
“I’ve heard that he is his son.”
She could no longer hear the surrounding sounds. Only a sharp ringing, like scratching her ears, filled Hye Ji’s ears.
“He was moved to the ward on Professor Yoon’s orders. Last week, someone saw him in the VIP ward with him.”
The evening I came to greet him, he abruptly showed me wedding invitation samples and asked me to choose. I selected a design I liked, and the invitations were ready in two days.
I knew we needed to hurry as the wedding was less than a month away, but I didn’t expect them to be ready so quickly.
Everything becomes possible when I touch his hand. After all, he is the one who made even this impossible marriage happen.
Eun Jae placed the humidifier, which had been cleaned, back in its place and let out a quiet sigh.
It was because of Mi Ran, who was still unable to take her eyes off the wedding invitation.
What does mom find so fascinating?
A small smile crossed her face, but her lips quickly turned downward. She couldn’t simply enjoy the sight of Mi Ran enjoying herself.
“You couldn’t find the scarf?”
How will I tell her that we’re divorcing a year from now, given how much she loves it?
“Is it pretty?”
“Yes, it’s beautiful. When did you buy it?”
Do we need to make such a fuss if we’re going to split up in a year?
“It’s from Yoon, he gave it to me when he came to greet us.”
Do we need to put so much effort into this?
Would it have been easier if I stubbornly refused to get married at all? Then at least I would have an excuse later. Swallowing her bitter feelings, Eun Jae pressed the button on the humidifier.
Mi Ran, who had been quietly watching Eun Jae standing thoughtfully in the dispersing humidifier mist, opened her mouth.
“Come here and sit down.”
“Why, again?”
Eun Jae grumbled as she pulled the makeshift chair beside the bed and sat down.
Mi Ran, who had elevated her upper body by pressing the bedside button, pulled out something that had been underneath her and handed it to Eun Jae.
“What is this?”
She asked what it was, but it was evident at first glance. It was a pouch containing a bankbook, a seal, and a check card.
“It’s not much. I’ve been saving a little bit from the business for you. I was really worried about it being taken away by those kids.”
With an upset look, Eun Jae opened the bankbook. The amount recorded in the bankbook was larger than she had thought.
30 million won.
She was angry as soon as she confirmed the amount. She had this much money, yet she hadn’t paid the hospital bills and was struggling.
“Mom! If you had money, you should have paid the hospital bills first. Didn’t you know we were almost kicked out of the hospital?”
“Even if we were to be kicked out, this is for when you get married—”
“Why are you like this? Do you want to see me die?”
Eun Jae vented her anger at Mi Ran. Her eyes, swollen with anger, were full of tears.
How have I endured all this while,
I came this far just to take care of mom,
Why, mom, why!
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
