I thought the answer was already known before I even asked, but as expected, she lowered her eyes slightly. Looking closely, I see that this pretty professor’s eyelashes are the first thing to flutter when she’s in trouble.
“… … “There is a shortage of manpower and the situation of surgical patients is very urgent.”
“I told you that my situation was urgent.”
“yes. So, I will definitely go. However, I don’t think I will have time to go to the dressing room and get ready, so I wanted to ask for your understanding in advance, so as you can see… … .”
Were you hiding in the bushes on the topic of seals?
Lee Han swallowed his laughter and said that no further explanation was possible and shook his head. Although it is unexpected, there is no reason not to understand if it is an urgent patient and not for other reasons. Anyway, attending today was meaningful, so Lee Han checked his watch and cleared the way forward, saying that he should go down at this time.
“You must arrive by 7:30. “You can promise me that much, right?”
“yes. Sure!”
“… … .”
And if you don’t know if it’s a seal or a deer, it seems like they have a habit of not going if you tell them to do so.
“What other circumstances can I understand?”
“no. “How can I be more shameless here?”
“… … .”
He even understood the topic well. Lee Han appreciated that and nodded to continue.
“If you tell me, I will listen and answer whether it is possible or not.”
“It’s not really like that. “Actually, I was going to go to the dressing room with you today and ask, but since I don’t have time, I thought I’d have to ask now.”
“So what?”
“It’s your mother’s preference.”
“… … .”
Lee Han, who was trying to nod his head unconditionally, hesitated. It was reasonable for the ‘girlfriend’ who was accompanying me to be curious about my mother’s tastes, so there was a separate reason for this feeling of discomfort.
“I don’t know why Professor Yoon is curious about that.”
Because she wasn’t my real girlfriend.
“It looks like you’re burdened with work today, but you don’t have to worry about that much.”
“What are you talking about? “I’m not just doing it for you.”
“… … .”
“I heard you’re giving me money. I just don’t do anything. “As the Chairman promised me to build a heart transplant center,”
“It would be a promise to objectively consider the construction.”
“… … Ah, yes.”
Either that or that.
In the meantime, Hae-joon, who had secretly hoped for Lee-han’s polite smile as he thoroughly corrected him, adjusted his mask awkwardly. Belatedly, she took off her mask and pulled the strings around her ears, revealing her flushed lips.
“… … .”
Surprisingly, Lee Han’s mouth shook without realizing it, but there was no time for him to notice. Haejoon, who had made up his mind, raised his head and made his position clear again.
“I do my best in everything I do. Although it may be difficult to suit the tastes of people like the chairman and mother, I still have to do what I can.”
“So what exactly do you want to know?”
“Anything is fine. Please tell me about your mother’s personality, preferences, or anything else. That way, I can match clothes or anything else. Do you like to be polite, or do you need to dress up a bit since it’s your birthday? … .”
“… … .”
Is this woman serious?
Lee Han rubbed his lips with his finger and looked down at her, tilting his head. I know what they are thinking, but this is so unexpected that I don’t know how to react.
Above all, if it’s your mother’s preference… … .
“You can just come. “If you just come, I think you’ll like it.”
“yes? “Where is that?”
“there is. “At my house.”
“… … .”
Although I don’t know other things, I am sure of this, and Lee Han’s voice is full of confidence. It was different from my personal crush on a woman named Yoon Hae-jun or my daughter-in-law.
To be precise, as long as she is a woman. A mother’s true wish is to show everyone that her son is a normal man with no ‘problems’, but there is no need to talk about it.
Even for a deer that shows such unexpected effort.
“But just in case. If possible… … .”
“Well, if I had to really ask, I think you like neat things more than flashy things.”
As a result, I wanted to say something, and it was quite natural for him to be unusually kind. Neat, neat. It’s good. Even though she didn’t write it down, it was funny to see her small lips mumbling as she copied my words and engraved them into her memory.
“That’s enough, don’t worry about it. “He announced that he would not receive any gifts.”
“Then what are your tastes, Chairman?”
“… … .”
Lee Han’s hand, which had been hit by a deer’s antlers several times today, came down from his forehead to near his eyebrows. It was a pretty good posture to hide the strange expression that was neither frowning nor smiling.
“Professor Yoon even said that.”
“do not misunderstand. Even if it’s fake, you’re deceiving others, so you have to be sure. Who would believe you if you suddenly turned out to be a lover when you didn’t know anything about each other? “I might be asking many questions today.”
“I didn’t know you had such a thorough personality.”
“are you okay. Because you know now.”
“… … .”
“So anything is fine. “Very basic things, like likes and dislikes.”
Premedi is not only needed for patients. Although it is not surgery, he acts as a lover worth 10 million won a day, but he cannot rely only on rumors found on the Internet.
“Well, either that or a request to be careful about this.”
“… … “Please?”
The moment Hae Joon added a word, his dark eyes were revealed between his spread fingers. The trees behind him looked particularly good, just in case someone thought he wasn’t a wild beast.
“well. “I think Professor Yoon has something to tell me.”
“ah… … .”
“why. “Is there anything special?”
Lee Han, who completely removed his hand, tilted his head as if expressing his expectations. What kind of plan do you have? It was the same, it made me laugh, but it wasn’t annoying. She is a very transparent woman, so at least she won’t be tired enough to pick out the lies and hear them.
“Actually, there’s only one thing I want to ask a man.”
“What is it?”
“just… … no. It won’t work. “Next time.”
Hae-joon bit his lip as if he thought this wasn’t right, but shook his head and smiled. I don’t know what she was thinking, but the traces of her struggle were evident on her white forehead, so Lee Han didn’t ask any more questions.
“… … .”
Inside the small garden that seemed cut off from the world, my ears went deaf again. A smile that is more awkward than necessary and a particularly loud breathing sound. There is no clearer moment than this when they realize that they are not really lovers. At that moment, Hae-joon nodded with a happy expression when he heard the sound of his cell phone looking for me.
“Oh, I guess the patient is ready! “It won’t be as good as the dressing room, but I’ll be as prepared as possible, so you don’t have to worry.”
“There is no need to overdo it.”
“But that’s not the case. “It’s the first day of the contract.”
Hae-joon, who took his first step and passed by him, raised the corners of his mouth and said that he couldn’t do that. Red lips on white cheeks. Lee Han’s eyebrows twitched as she took off her mask at her defenseless laughter.
“Since the Chairman didn’t say anything else, can I match my outfit to my mother’s taste?”
“Because I’m not shy enough to wear women’s clothes one by one. but,”
“… … “Uh-huh.”
Lee Han’s hand moved towards Hae Joon’s shoulder, which was just passing by him. A small leaf swayed between long fingers that seemed almost out of reach, which made it even more dangerous.
When Hae-joon was so surprised and didn’t know what to do, he pursed his lips, and Lee-han’s somewhat strange smile finally became satisfying.
“It will be enough if you don’t put anything like this on.”
◇ ◆ ◇
Soft lanterns were bright throughout the well-maintained garden. We installed patio heaters here and there, but with the warmer-than-usual weather, there didn’t seem to be any need for them. A large ice sculpture was placed in the center, and even a fountain was activated, causing happy exclamations from the guests.
But even if flashy things catch your eye, you can’t forget today’s protagonist. Although they did not dare to approach first and say hello as if they were friendly, most of the invited guests did not forget to periodically look at the chairman and his family seated at the table in the very center.
The Chairman of Seomun Group, his wife, and the ‘famous’ eldest son.
The birthday parties, Mrs. Cha and Chairman Seo, have a very good public image, so it’s nice to be happy, but it’s not really fun to spy on them. On the other hand, their eldest son, Lee Han, was a man who naturally attracted the most attention anytime and anywhere, even if he was reluctant to get close to him.
“Look at Executive Director Seo. No, are you now the chairman? Anyway, why did you come first today? “For my wife’s birthday last year, all I did was show my face briefly when it was almost over.”
“I guess I got a little free after being kicked out of the West Gate car and going to Cheil Hospital. “But looking at your expression, it seems like you’re better than I thought.”
“no way. Still, I feel the same way about being alone this year. “It’s a shame why such a tall and good-looking person hasn’t met anyone yet.”
“That’s it. Actually, there is a story I heard somewhere, but it actually started from when I was studying abroad… … oh. “It looks like they’re about to start.”
As the musicians holding violins moved to find their seats, the heads of those who were whispering also turned. Even though it was only a temporary trick, the eyes would soon return to Lee Han, but at least I had time to enjoy a glass of wine.
“… … You seem more naive than you look. “Do you really think I can’t hear you?”
“Seo Yihan.”
Mrs. Cha, who smiled brightly at those who made eye contact, flinched at Lee Han’s recitation. It’s not the first day or two that people have been fighting over me, but today it was a bit loud.
