Lee Han passed by Hae Joon and stood in front of Chan Sung. Last night, I felt it in the car as well, but every time the hem of my coat fluttered, I was filled with the cool scent of the ocean. Like a person accustomed to filling his scent with just walking, he slowly raised his head alone.
“Professor Oh, it looks like you saw me with Hae-jun Yoon, is that correct?”
“Yes, it is actually true, isn’t it? “I definitely saw it with my own eyes!”
“… … .”
Chan-sung timidly resisted, as if he couldn’t help but be crushed by Lee-han’s arrogant gaze. Even if the other person was the Chairman of the Amman Board of Directors, his thick shoulders puffed up like balloons, wondering how he could possibly do anything about what he had seen in person.
“You definitely did that with Hae-joon back then, didn’t you!”
“What did we do?”
“… … .”
“why. Did you make a secret plan to close down a hospital that wasn’t making any money? Or did Hae-jun Yoon chat with me in private and make a big request?”
Lee Han’s gaze looking down at Chansung’s shoulder was as indifferent as his voice. Chan-sung clenched his fists at his subtle provocation, as if asking him to do more.
“Well, it’s not like that, no. You know it when you see it! A man and a woman meeting at a hotel on such a day and at such a time… … .”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t live up to your expectations, but since I’m a business person, I tend to do quite a lot of work at the hotel.”
“… … .”
“Open your eyes wide. “Shouldn’t you at least see it as clearly as you can?”
Yes, that messy world is not everything.
With a grin, the words Lee Han omitted were blatant. The warning that everyone surrounding them understood at once was met with the sound of grunts rising from all over the place. When even the OS residents looked at him with an uncertain expression, Chan-sung urgently suppressed his voice.
“So you did business with Professor Yoon? “You need to find out what kind of business the Chairman and Fellow are doing at the hotel.”
“What about business? “I went to propose.”
“Look at that… … , yes?”
“… … .”
Seeing Lee Han’s obedient recognition, Chansung, who had been raising his hands, stopped. Other people watching also had similar reactions. Cover your mouth or hold your breath. However, even if they were surprised by Amman, it wasn’t as much as Haejun, who was the person involved.
“ah… … Lee, Lee Han.”
Did I hear correctly?
She, who had been pushed out at some point, slowly looked at Lee Han. You probably heard it wrong. Her marriage proposal. Since that never happened in the first place, there is no need for her to ask. Nevertheless, like a man who never said anything wrong, she made everything she said sound like the truth.
“Then what would a man and a woman do on such a day, at such a time, at a hotel, other than propose marriage?”
“… … .”
It’s so plausible that I want to believe it.
“why. “Did you all think of something else?”
“… … “Well, that’s not it.”
“Let’s do it right now.”
His deep blue eyes took in the people surrounding him, including Chansung, for the first time. And the last person his eyes met was always Hae-joon.
“I like Professor Hae-jun Yoon a lot.”
“… … .”
“I couldn’t take my eyes off Professor Yoon, whom I met by chance on my first day in office.”
“ah… … .”
Hae-joon, who was covering his tightly shut mouth, suddenly let out a hot breath as if he couldn’t hold it back. I feel like I know what he’s going to say without even having to listen to what happens next. No, I have no choice but to know.
“What can I say? “I kept thinking about it, I couldn’t get my hands on things, and I thought I couldn’t do this, so I thought I had to come up with some excuse to get it, but luck just so happened to be on my side.”
“Mr. Lee Han.”
Stop, please.
Unable to bear it any longer, Hae-joon shook his head as if he couldn’t see it. I just feel embarrassed and want to hide. Only then did I realize why Lee Han made that kind of expression when I first said that. However, Lee Han’s expression as he said those words now was so different from that day, that I couldn’t just stop him.
“… … Mr. Hae-jun Yoon.”
Lee Han’s smile deepened. The fateful meeting she arranged for me has come to this point, and from now on, my heart is truly in it. He stared straight at Haejun.
“My heart is always the same.”
“Hmm.”
“Just as you see it, just like every moment of our time together, it will continue to be that way.”
No matter where I go in the time that a woman named Yoon Hae-jun existed in my world, my feelings will not change. So now, any other confessions of love don’t have much meaning. Her semi-sweet lips quietly called out to her, wondering if you, who were smarter than anyone else, could not know that.
“Isn’t that right, are we?”
“ah… … .”
“I’ll give you the answer when it’s just the two of us.”
Hae-joon, unable to do anything about his tearful eyes, urgently lowered his head. Everyone at the hospital is already crowded and I can’t come to my senses. Just a moment, she whispered as she cried, making her way through the crowd of people surrounding her.
“… … .”
Lee Han followed her disappeared figure until the end and then looked around. Not Lee Han, but those around him felt what it felt like to be left alone in a place like this.
“why. “Are you all sad?”
“Oh, no!”
Even by force.
“Thank goodness. “Then let’s finish eating.”
The hand gestures inviting people to eat were unusual and peaceful. Lee Han’s shoulders suddenly became narrow wherever he looked, as if nothing had happened. The person involved was fine, but his presence alone explained why they were having a hard time enduring it.
“Oh.”
I am Seo Yi-han, that woman is my woman, and this is my hospital, so that’s it.
“Still, if there is someone who doesn’t understand what happened today and needs to talk about it, feel free to do so.”
“Hey, Chairman.”
“However, among these, only the one who did not like Yoon Hae-jun.”
“… … .”
As soon as Lee Han’s neat smile changed direction, the path opened up on its own. Today’s work will end here. Just looking at the hesitant eyes of those standing aside made any further requests meaningless. This was a satisfactory conclusion even for him, who seeks to be a ‘rational and rational chairman’ within the hospital.
However, it was necessary to adopt a slightly different attitude towards someone who had already run away to the entrance.
“Professor Oh Chan-seong. Thank goodness. “There was still something I wanted to ask.”
“Huh. “Hey, Chairman.”
“Has my woman, or rather, Hae-jun Yoon, ever confessed to the professor, proposed marriage, or done anything that could have misunderstood the professor without my knowledge?”
“Well, that is.”
“If that’s the case, please feel free to tell me.”
It was quiet, the voice only heard by one person was low. hurry. When Chansung lowered his head as if to hide behind the residents and was so flustered that he couldn’t even answer properly, the beast’s farewell message that was close to him became even softer.
“Kill me. 이 개새끼야.”
◇ ◆ ◇
Hae-joon’s steps across the hallway gradually became faster. I passed through the hallway and headed to a slightly larger place, a place where I could at least breathe.
“ha… … .”
Nonsense. This is a dream.
I shook my head with every shaky step, but the afterimage that remained in my mind did not disturb in the slightest. Moreover, the sound of someone else’s shoes ringing behind my steps became more and more clear, as if chasing the afterimage.
“I think I’ve gone far enough.”
“really really… … .”
Suddenly, Hae-joon entered the indoor garden and turned around. Lee-han put his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders. why? She was so calm that when she saw him becoming even more obnoxious, her breathing became heavier.
“What are you going to do if I follow you all the way here? “Who can do this?”
“Is there anyone left who needs to know more?”
“Mr. Seo Yi-han.”
I don’t think there is one.
Hae-joon pressed his lips together hard at his mocking laugh, which was no different than half a joke. When I think of all the people I walked through at the restaurant, I can’t deny it. But I can’t help but feel overwhelmed every time I see this man.
“Well, that’s still true. How can you say something like that there?”
“Then where can I tell you?”
“… … .”
“here?”
As expected, nothing has changed at all, including the thing that leaves people speechless. When she finally came to a complete stop, Lee Han stared at her and lifted one hand to remove the tree branch between them.
“Did you ask if we knew how long we had been together?”
“… … “Look, Seo Yi-han.”
“I signed it four times, I didn’t sign it ten times, and I met him on the way to and from the hospital forty-four times. “If I turn around and pretend not to notice, it would be about fifty times.”
“Hmm.”
Hae-joon, who lowered his eyes gloomily, was devastated. He thought it was scary enough before, but now it was really hard to move even a finger.
“I guess we can add one more day starting tomorrow. “Because pork cutlets will be served every day.”
“Oh, how!”
“I do anything. I am.”
He removed the tree branches hanging over his head and revealed himself in full. The quietest and most private place in an urgent hospital where people cry, laugh, and lose someone’s life. The two people standing inside couldn’t see anything else except each other. Hae-joon, whose ears were deafened by the blue scent that passed his nose, opened his mouth as if being drawn by something.
“Do you think it’s just Seo Yi-han? “I’ve done everything too, right?”
“… … .”
“I did everything I could. I really lived like that every day. “Huh.”
