Even though we’re speaking the same Korean language, I can’t help but feel this tightness in my heart. Still, Hae-joon, conscious of Minguk’s gaze at the door, only greeted him like that, like an employee who was seeing the chairman off.
“professor.”
“Let’s go out. “Us too.”
Only after Lee Han was out of sight did Hae Joon look for Minguk as if nothing had happened. Don’t show it off. Just like Lee Han did, he extended his hand to the interpreter who happened to be standing next to Minguk.
“The interpreter has worked very hard so far.”
“ah… … sorry. “I was too late.”
“no. “You saw it a little while ago.”
When the interpreter apologized several times, Hae-joon said it was okay and closed his eyes. Now she also has to go out and check her prescriptions. A sudden burst of laughter came from behind Hae-joon, who took the initiative to make sure the interpreter didn’t feel sorry anymore.
“really. Congratulations, Professor Yoon!”
“… … yes?”
Hae-joon, who was walking down the hallway with Minguk, turned his head. Did I hear it wrong? When a patient is discharged from the hospital, I have often heard words of regret and gratitude, but this is the first time I have heard congratulations.
“… … “I don’t know at all.”
“yes? Me?”
“The patient said the same thing a while ago. “You had no idea.”
“hmm… … .”
Did we all decide to only study foreign languages today?
Hae-jun tilted his head at the still confusing Korean. Despite her perplexed look, the interpreter smiled brightly as if he knew a great secret.
“But seeing you like this today, you don’t know why you didn’t know until now.”
◇ ◆ ◇
Lee Han came down to the underground parking lot on the lowest floor of the hospital and headed straight to his reserved seat. Secretary Kang, who had been waiting in front of his car, checked the surroundings for a moment and took something out of his arms. Mrs. Cha, who had been anxious for several days after her last visit, finally called him over.
“I brought this to my wife because she told me to give it to her.”
“… … yes.”
A small, square, luxurious box.
It was as if Lee Han had already opened it, but instead of extending his hand, he stroked his hair. Secretary Kang, who had already noticed, quietly added his support.
“I was hoping that I would have something to say to Professor Yoon soon.”
“I did.”
“… … yes?”
But why the facial expression?
Originally, Lee Han didn’t have a very bright expression, but now he looked as gloomy as the grim reaper. Could it be that it was wrong? Secretary Kang, who was even more surprised, broke the secretary’s rule of not getting involved in private matters as much as possible.
“Ho, by any chance Professor Yoon… … .”
“no.”
I did, but I didn’t say it was Yoon Hae-jun.
Lee Han, who neatly summarized this wild feeling, leaned against the driver’s seat. He didn’t mean to say something very grand, but he didn’t know how to say it either.
『Then this person is really… … .』
『This is my woman.』
『… … .』
『First and last.』
From juniors, friends, people who are not like friends, to polygamous foreigners that I have never even heard of.
At this point, there was no surprise. Was there anything that went my way in front of a woman named Yoon Hae-jun? Perhaps, just holding her hand and not coming down from the VIP room was enough for me to endure.
“also.”
Because it’s dangerous.
In the face of an infinitely safe woman who saves people, he was endlessly being pushed out of his limbs. However, the only person who could save me was that woman, and for Lee Han, this was the first time the world was so overwhelming.
“… … .”
However, as I had never lived in a difficult world, I was able to escape from it quickly. Instead of unnecessary pride or unsuitable tolerance, Lee Han chose maximum practicality.
No matter what anyone says, my patience ends here.
“Please give me the ring.”
“Chairman.”
Secretary Kang, who was wondering what to do with what he had already brought, was startled and handed it over. When Lee Han opened the purple velvet box without hesitation, even his contemplative eyes were noticeably shaken, as if he had taken a step away from the world.
“… … “It’s okay.”
It has to be okay. After all, the only thing that matters is whether the ring is in someone’s hand, not its shape or size. Lee Han’s eyes, as he looked at the crown-shaped diamonds overlapped somewhere, soon became filled with satisfaction.
“I am thankful to my mother,”
“ah. “This too.”
“… … .”
“And this too.”
Also, this and that. That thing in there.
Secretary Kang tried to take them out one by one from the paper bag he was holding and handed the bag over to Lee Han. Humans only have ten fingers, but this is more than twice that number. Of course, this too was just something that was ‘packaged and sent in a hurry’, so if the wife makes up her mind, it is just as scary.
“… … .”
However, since the person who was most disgusted by this and should remain silent, Secretary Kang had no choice but to hold his breath. Lee Han, who was looking at the rings, suddenly touched the case.
“Is there anything you really like?”
“Do you need to like me?”
“… … then.”
“Because I don’t know what her tastes are like.”
Lee Han raised his eyebrows with regret and placed one arm on the roof of the car. Even the frowning expression of dissatisfaction was more delicate than that of any statue. The gaze of several people leaving work caught the attention of his profile, which shined clearly in the darkness of the underground parking lot, but that was none of their business. Lee Han, who was frowning with displeasure despite holding so many rings, was filled with thoughts of just one person.
“Where is Hae-joon now?”
“Since you are on duty, you are probably at the National Assembly. Should I bring you right away?”
“no. for a moment.”
Lee Han took out his cell phone and stopped Secretary Kang with one hand. While he was sending and receiving short texts, there was no movement on his face. As Secretary Kang, who was unable to see him, took a step closer, Lee Han chuckled and put down his cell phone.
“They say they’re busy. “Don’t wait.”
“But you’ve already made up your mind, so you need to tell me as soon as possible.”
“Then, is it okay to call someone who is busy and ask them to choose one of these?”
Like children’s play, like that?
Lee Han smiled wryly at Secretary Kang, who was impatient as if it were his own business, telling a joke that wasn’t a joke. It’s already been three and a half days since I haven’t seen Haejun properly, and I’m starting to get tired of the excuses he makes with those pretty lips. However, I also needed complete preparation to wait long enough to be confident.
Lee Han, who was sighing while looking at his cell phone, lightly brushed off his collar as if he had made a decision.
“I should at least mix in one of the things I prepared.”
“But if you stop, there will be quite a few jewelry and designs. “Professor Yoon, wouldn’t you like one?”
“well.”
It’s a bit trickier than it looks.
Lee Han slowly raised his chin, denying Secretary Kang’s words. The process was quite difficult for her to keep Geonman by her side, a woman who can easily fit in anywhere in the world. If she was a woman who was attracted to wealth and power, it wouldn’t have taken her long.
“Then, should we look for another place now? “If you look into private boutiques in Cheongdam-dong, you might be able to find something that Professor Yoon might like.”
“I’m going to try to look for it somewhere else.”
“Where are you talking about?”
“hmm… … . maybe.”
When Lee Han, who had been quiet for a while, revealed his destination, Secretary Kang was startled. Why, is there any problem? Lee Han’s questioning eyes did not tolerate any objection.
“Secretary Kang. “We don’t have time to do this.”
“But it takes time to get there, no, let alone time, what are you looking for there, no, how are you trying to get there… … .”
“How do I get there?”
When Secretary Kang, who was talking gibberish and had a lot of questions to ask, was uncharacteristically flustered, Lee Han, who was already in the car, took out something from his pocket. The key that turned lightly on my finger sparkled more than a diamond ring.
“Isn’t it a waste to use it just once?”
◇ ◆ ◇
“professor. “Is this really something that is covered in the review of the heart transplant center?”
“… … huh. “I heard that’s true.”
While Minguk and Kyungmin were very excited, Haejun tried not to get too excited. After discharging the VIP patient, he received a call. He still couldn’t believe it, even though several hours had passed.
“But why did the story come out all of a sudden?”
“huh?”
“I thought you would never do it. In fact, the center director is not there and if you pretend not to notice, it will be over. Anyway, it’s good for us.”
“… … I know.”
Hae-joon’s voice quietened as he looked at the envelope the manager gave him. Naturally, her mind was filled with one person’s face that came to mind. No way, I still have debt to pay off. Hae-joon, who was heartbroken because he could not understand Lee-han’s feelings, only brushed his hair.
“Now is the start. “I just got a chance like everyone else.”
“Phew, that’s right. There isn’t much left until the review date. “They asked me to come to the board meeting that day and give a briefing, so Professor Yoon went alone.”
Even Gyeongmin, who was so excited, saw the date and location and his shoulders sank. Even the invincible Professor Yoon Hae-jun is not capable of dealing with those difficult people alone. I don’t know how much the planning director, who personally handed over this confirmation, glared at the professor.
“When I go there, I think the director will yell at Professor Yoon.”
“It’s more like the chairman than the manager. If someone like the Chairman says something… … .”
When Kyung-min shook his shoulders and said, “Ugh, I don’t want to even imagine,” Hae-joon swallowed, pretending not to notice. I think it would be better if you just said something about that. If he starts talking about ‘something else’ other than the hospital, I’m not sure if he’ll be able to handle it well.
