Since his birth, Seo Yi-han has never enjoyed leisure even once. He was born as the eldest son and successor of the Daeseomun Group, so perhaps it was only natural. A while later, his younger brother, Yuhan, was born, and I expected that the burden would be eased a little, but guess what? As Yuhan grew up, his shoulders became twice as heavy.
“… … Sorry. Lee Han-a. No matter how you look at it, you are the only one we have.”
My father and mother had a knack for putting it in a very appropriate way: ‘No matter how you look at him, he’s all wrong, so you’re the only one left.’ In the end, everyone’s expectations, including his parents, shifted again to the eldest son, Lee Han.
That’s how I spent my teens and twenties. He received all the education he could, and as a successor, he also learned about the group’s work faster than his peers. After he officially took a position at the company, he became even busier. He took advantage of his spare time to meet people and get things done.
A beast that never sleeps.
It was a nickname that was whispered about him knowingly or unknowingly.
Although he had already reached the top spot, Lee Han never rested even for a moment. If I achieved my goal properly, I might be able to relax a little, but there was no sign of that happening at all. Seo Yi-han was the man who was ready to sink his teeth into the back of the neck whenever he found his prey.
It didn’t matter whether I was full or not.
Some people clicked their tongues at Lee Han, calling him harsh, while others felt pity for him. I also looked at with regret how I had been living a life so burdened by excessive expectations and work that I could not enjoy life at all.
However, if I had known how arrogantly Lee Han would sneer upon hearing that sound, I would not have had such a vain thought.
For Lee Han, working at the company was more like a sport than a boring job.
It’s also very large.
If I let my guard down even for a moment, the heads of dozens or hundreds of people following me would be blown off by the blade that struck me from behind. It was also common for huge amounts of money to evaporate in an instant with one wrong look. Although it may be an overly heartless world to some, to Lee Han, it was truly an ‘exhilarating world that made him feel alive.’
It’s fun, but what?
In this dizzying ecosystem of eating and being eaten, there is no need to force yourself to save face and pretend to be polite. He thoroughly enjoyed the life of a predator among those who quickly lowered their heads, either because they were overwhelmed or because they were fed up. He wielded his pen like a sword and swept around the world busier than anyone else.
Until I came to Cheil Hospital a year and three months ago.
“… … So you’re saying we can’t meet again tonight?”
Lee Han’s voice, standing in the chairman’s office of Cheil Hospital, was extremely cold. Even the way he looks at the documents in his hands is fierce.
“Is it surgery again?”
“Mr. Lee Han. “No, Chairman.”
Hae-joon, who stood before him like a criminal, quickly changed his name. He seemed to think that he had to be careful since it was a public space, but that fact stimulated Lee Han even more.
“Do you really see who I am in the eyes of Hae-jun Yoon?”
“sure!”
“Then let’s find out which fiancee is so busy at work all day that she doesn’t even show her face to her lover.”
Suddenly, Lee Han placed his hands on the desk and opened his dark eyes. When he showed this kind of expression at the company, one affiliate would usually be turned over or many people’s positions would be changed.
However, this was an extremely peaceful hospital and a sacred space where everyone should find peace of mind and body. Above all, the woman in front of him now is someone who has already turned the ecosystem upside down a long time ago.
It’s like a seal holding a lion’s leash, so Lee Han can’t help but wonder if she’s going to rebel.
Anything as long as it’s not a ridiculous ‘promise to refuse a date’.
“How on earth does Hae-jun Yoon do all the work at our hospital alone?”
“… … .”
In the end, words that could not come out of his mouth came out. Lee Han’s eyebrows tilted steeply, amazed that there was a woman busier than me. Even her enjoyment of her own work couldn’t keep up with her.
“Hey, it can’t be helped. “He came from far away saying he really wanted to get surgery from me.”
“I too am coming every day to see Hae-Hae.”
“… … Mr. Lee Han.”
Hae-joon, who had been looking at him hesitantly the whole time, slowly raised his head. The people I need to look into are not necessarily the patients. This man’s condition was too serious for him to just laugh it off as a joke.
“I know Lee Han is very disappointed.”
“You’ll need to know more.”
“… … .”
It doesn’t work.
Hae-joon, who was making an ambitious and depressed expression of his own, pressed his lips together. Still, I think it went to this extent yesterday, but Lee Han became twice as strong in just one day. His obsession with keeping her attached to her at all costs flashed like her blade.
“I stayed up all night here yesterday, the day before, and the day before that. “I’m waiting for a cold fiancee who doesn’t even remember me.”
“Well, did you? Because the surgery ended too late… … . “Why don’t you just tell me?”
“Then you won’t come again. “A person who is already tired and can’t sleep at all.”
“… … Mr. Lee Han.”
Hae-joon’s expression became solemn and solemn as he continued to commit foul trouble. In fact, it’s not that I don’t know Lee Han’s feelings. Hae-jun also feels regretful, as he has had only a handful of proper dates since receiving his proposal.
“great. Then, I will ask Professor Choi for the next surgery!”
“Is that true?”
“yes. Last time, I performed more than 10 surgeries for Professor Choi because of his housework. “The same goes for all other professors.”
“… … .”
This is why I don’t have time.
Lee Han, who was slowly pulling her waist with one hand, clicked his tongue inwardly. Still, if Hae-joon comes out like this first, there is nothing wrong with me.
“Anyway, I’ll be on vacation starting next week.”
“vacation?”
“yes. “What a wonderful vacation.”
A vacation of this magnitude was almost unprecedented in a thoracic surgery department where labor was scarce for a week. It is thanks to her that she has done the work of ten or a hundred people, but it may be an opportunity that is difficult for her to come again.
“Actually, there were a lot of things I wanted to try, but I had to play around with them to know them. I suddenly thought of it and had no idea. “If there’s something you want to do at that time, let’s do it.”
“Anything?”
“If it’s possible.”
Now, promise!
Hae-joon held out his little finger, saying that he would strictly follow his wishes this time. Did I do too much? I did something to the chairman of the world that I would only do to children. He smiled sheepishly and tried to withdraw his finger, but before he could, it was tightly wrapped.
“Hey, Mr. Lee Han.”
“Be sure to keep your promises. Do you understand?”
Lee Han’s voice was quite solemn. I don’t know why his uvula was rising and falling so noticeably, but Hae-joon nodded as if led. No matter what happens, my desire to do my best as her fiancee remains the same.
“Of course, if I miss the surgery starting tomorrow, my vacation period will be a little shorter, but who cares? “Anyway, we’ll be able to do everything we want in a day or two.”
“Aren’t you going?”
“… … yes?”
“Didn’t I say I was scheduled for surgery? “It looks like an important surgery, so let’s go quickly.”
Lee Han, who grabbed both of her shoulders and gently pulled her away, turned cold without blood or tears. When Hae-joon was unable to catch up with her due to his sudden change in attitude, Lee-han urged her again.
“Is now the time to hesitate like that?”
“Well, that’s not it.”
“Work is the foundation and duty of a person. “Especially if you have decided to do something, you have to do it at all costs.”
“… … .”
Hae-joon’s expression, who had initially agreed with what he was saying, turned strange. What does this multiple personality mean? She was almost confused for a moment, but fortunately, Lee Han knew the magic word that would take her mind away.
“I will be waiting for the patient.”
“ah… … that’s right.”
“Didn’t you come from far away?”
“yes! “You said you came all the way here from Cheongju.”
As expected, she, whose cheeks were flushed, nodded vigorously, in case anyone thought she was a seal. Lee Han, who forced himself to laugh, kept his expressionless expression as best as he could.
A week.
If I were a year ago, it would have been enough to change the world. And now, I had the confidence to use that time more meaningfully and passionately.
Of course, I have no intention of changing the world or the company.
Maybe it’s a bed.
“I know what being a patient means to Hae-joon, so don’t worry and go.”
“… … Mr. Lee Han. “How dare you do that!”
Plus, it felt pretty good to see her expression of emotion for me. Isn’t it originally said that the joy of hunting was catching the prey that had been sent the furthest away? She was enjoying the leisure of being a predator for a long time, and Lee Han patted her shoulder quite generously.
“Why are you doing that again? “Even though they told me to go.”
“That’s not it… … “Then can I have the surgery again tomorrow?”
