Hae-joon stood up with a smile on his face and bowed his head to the professors. Her voice was as quiet and calm as usual, not that she would snap or be bold on purpose. Her shoulders were drooping, as if she had lost some of her strength. Her professor Choi, who was dumbfounded for a moment, grabbed her and stopped her.
“no. Do you have to show off to show off your pride? “I was worried that someone might have graduated from Korea University, so I memorized it in a childish way, thinking that there is no one here who doesn’t know that much.”
“I’ve never memorized anything in particular.”
“what? So, if you see it once, you can memorize it all? “Oh my, I didn’t know about such a great genius.”
“You may not be a genius, but if you look and look and look again, wouldn’t it be more foolish to not know?”
Watch it, watch it again, and memorize it to the point where you can draw it.
It was her daily routine that she always repeated before undergoing surgery. At Hae-joon’s calm reply, a bluish vein of blood appeared on Professor Choi’s neck.
“I guess I was greedy again and paid some attention to being a VIP patient.”
“I’m sorry, but I remember the condition of every patient I’ve operated on so far.”
“… … .”
“yes. “I’m a bit childish, right?”
i know.
Hae-joon smiled brightly and left, holding the file in his arms. Why are the sunflowers clumping together like this these days? The only advantage of being the head of a botanical garden is that you can quietly meditate, but Professor Choi’s checks have become increasingly severe recently.
“… … That won’t work. “I’ll have to do some pruning soon.”
“yes? Professor Yoon. “What are you doing?”
“no. let’s go.”
Hae-joon went down the stairs with Minguk, who followed me. Minguk misunderstood her serious expression as she walked on the floor and scratched his ear.
“Professor Choi, you are really great. Don’t you know that Professor Yoon is the first to receive all of the patients’ test results? “Is there another heart in this hospital that Professor Yoon doesn’t know about?”
“no. “Not necessarily.”
Haejun, who seemed to not know what was really important about his heart, messed up his bangs. At least we can repair the patients’ hearts. The condition of his heart was so serious that he could not even touch it.
“I like it.”
Last night, Lee Han’s frighteningly strong eyes were clutching my heart. His body was hot as he approached me as if he was going to say it again and again. Perhaps because the heat spread like a fire, all the remaining memories were all jumbled and tangled up like a dream.
“Sir, do I really have to answer?”
“Then, someone confessed.”
no. It’s a confession. He said it was a confession.
The roar of the beast that bit my teeth gave me all the strength in my legs. This doesn’t mean I’m going to eat you. She had heard quite a few confessions from the human world over the past dozen years, but this was the first time she had heard a declaration of war like this.
It looks like it’s going to scratch, or even bite.
I was frozen and couldn’t even move a finger. That’s why he didn’t expect a particularly sweet confession from him. Seo Yi-han whispering affectionately, it seemed like it would give me chills just like that.
“Whew. So why did you run out without saying a word?”
Nevertheless, his hand wrapping a muffler around my empty neck, which was only gulping dry saliva, was extremely warm. The brief touch of the man’s fingertips could not have been very cautious, even though his expression and words were not rough.
Even now, after taking off the muffler, I can see that my throat is burning and tight.
“ah… … What should I do? Again, again!”
“Professor Yoon!”
“… … “I couldn’t believe it.”
When Hae-joon suddenly stopped holding onto the staircase railing, Minguk was startled and supported his arm. A person who had undergone surgeries that lasted well over ten hours in a row and did not even flinch was reduced in half in just one day.
“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard these days? Professor, you went into surgery without missing a day.”
“Yes.”
I’m glad that’s all. I even did the most difficult part-time job as Seo Yi-han’s lover. Hae-joon, who had reached his limit both physically and mentally, stood still and rubbed his eyes.
“What did Minguk say about your next surgery? Shall we go in together?”
“What! “Professor, you need to rest!”
“… … no. I am.”
It’s funny, but for me, it’s better to have something to do. These are not thoughts that can be shaken off through just hobbies or relaxation. The only time I can concentrate with all my might is when I face someone’s beating heart.
“Mr. Hae-jun Yoon. “Are you not going to answer until the end?”
Until the moment I broke up with Lee Han, I couldn’t even make eye contact once. It was for the first time that she realized that a single glance made her whole body tingle, and that a person could force someone’s lips to part with just a glance. If this continues, I might end up asking for help rather than answering the confession, so I just shook my head.
“Ha, give me just one day. “I also need time to think.”
“Whoa.”
Should I have said I would die yesterday instead?
I was so anxious that even if I held on for another day, I would just barely be able to hang on to the stairs like this. Even though I wanted to quietly look into my heart, the full-time thoracic surgeon did not even give me time to do so.
“First of all, Minguk, you are going into surgery, and I will ask the anesthesiologist later about the surgery tomorrow afternoon. And in the evening, let’s gather the kids with No Coordinator in the operating room and re-plan for next week.”
“yes. professor.”
She barely managed to muster up the strength to let Minguk go first and smiled helplessly. In my heart, I’d like to go into surgery today and use that as an excuse to buy another day, but with that kind of mindset, I’m not qualified to treat someone else’s heart. Moreover, he is not a man so docile that he falls for such a trick.
There were only three or four hours left, and as I thought about seeing him again, my hand holding the railing became stronger without me realizing it.
If you look at that face, if you say something like that again, then you’ll feel like you’re really… … .
“… … professor!”
“huh? what’s the matter?”
When Min-guk, who had gone down the stairs, came back up, Hae-joon suddenly raised his head. To say he came back because he was worried about me, I couldn’t tell from the ambiguous expression on his face, neither crying nor smiling. Fortunately, thanks to Lee Han’s confession that doesn’t seem like it, all my hearts have fallen, so I’m glad I don’t have any more to worry about.
“Why again? What’s the problem? “What does the anesthesiologist say?”
“That’s not it. “That foreign patient from before!”
“who… … huh? that person?”
Hae-joon’s eyes suddenly widened. I don’t know why I remembered the other patients so well but forgot the person who created all these sadals.
“Well, did you find that person?”
“Oh, I haven’t found it yet.”
Minguk took a step closer and chewed his lips as if to calm down.
“You previously posted it on the CS Union Band and asked about it from the residents’ association. “I wouldn’t have been able to treat him on my own in that condition, and I would have definitely gone to another hospital.”
“huh!”
“I got a call from a friend in Incheon today, and I think he’s the patient. Here you go!”
“Where where?”
When Minguk held out his cell phone to look at it, Haejun stuck his head in. Even though it was a blurry CCTV screen, it was clear that he was the man. A pale face with a shabby appearance and clutching its chest. He never gets confused by the features he looked at again and again to see if he could find them.
“That’s right! that’s right!”
This is not the time for me.
After taking off the gown, Hae-joon’s eyes were focused so clearly that it was scary. Before I was a person who might be the starting and ending point of this work, I was also a patient.
“Where did you say? Incheon?”
“Oh, no. It’s not completely Incheon. “I heard it goes a little further from there, but it’s not that far in terms of distance.”
“That’s enough. “I thought it was still a few hundred more kilometers.”
“no. “I guess I just have to go about 10 kilometers further from Incheon.”
Then what’s the problem? In response to Hae-joon’s enthusiasm as he turned on the route finding app and waited for Minguk to call out the address, Minguk added hesitantly.
“… … “To the sea, not the land.”

“Chairman. “Is this what you said?”
Secretary Kang entered the study of the main house and put down a large box. Although I carefully packed the piles of cards so that they wouldn’t overflow, I couldn’t figure out why Lee Han had asked me to bring these things, so I tilted my head.
“I managed to find it in the records room where the president’s belongings were collected a while ago. However, perhaps because it was the previous president’s belongings, it was stored well and not thrown away.”
“… … yes. “Thank goodness.”
Lee Han, who doesn’t look happy at all, just stares at me, and there’s no tone in his voice as he replies. Perhaps because I thought of Secretary Kang’s sincerity in bringing me here, I glanced over.
“I guess that’s right. “Let’s leave it here.”
“If there is anything in particular you are looking for, I will try to find it. “Just tell me.”
“that is… … no.”
It’s not that he’s refusing Secretary Kang’s help, but he looks like he really doesn’t know how to explain it. Secretary Kang was even surprised by this expression that was rarely seen on Lee Han, who was extremely confident in everything.
“ah… … yes.”
“It’s not easy to explain.”
Whether it’s just a card or my heart.
Lee Han sat down again like the first time, his eyes closed in contemplation. If it was the memory card you were looking for, not only was it not made of this high-quality material, but it was also childish enough to fool the eyes of young children.
