“No. Sam, you’re not that unsightly. Heh.”
“Making fun of me after such a long time.”
Smiling with a mischievous gaze, So-ri tousled Min-guk’s hair.
“But, Sam. When will you grant my wish? You didn’t tell me what a nine-wish ticket is.”
“Oh? That.”
On the day of Min-guk’s first checkup after being discharged, So-ri had promised to grant the remaining wishes with a suitable gift if he used up all the wish tickets.
Even in the midst of chaos, So-ri hadn’t forgotten and had already promised Jun-woo to grant his wishes.
“Just a moment.”
So-ri took out her phone, glanced at Min-guk, and tapped on the screen to send a message.
Min-guk was looking at So-ri with suspicious eyes.
Putting the phone back in her inner pocket with a laugh, So-ri said, “Min-guk.”
“Yes?”
“Did you wash your face?”
“I probably didn’t even wash on the way to the hospital, right?”
Min-guk licked his lips. Asking for a wish, suddenly it felt like some kind of hygiene check.
“Still, go to the bathroom and check your face once more. Let’s meet at 12. Let’s have ice cream with the teacher. You can come down to the first-floor store, right?”
“Oh, what?”
“The teacher has some work to do. See you later, okay?”
Shaking hands, So-ri smoothly passed by Min-guk.
Perhaps because surprises like this are fun.
While walking alone, chuckling, she unexpectedly met Hyun-woo coming from the opposite side.
The laughter disappeared from So-ri’s face, which had been smiling.
“Yoo So-ri…”
She slightly bent her waist, as if folding it like a folder, then simply walked past him.
Veins appeared and disappeared on Hyun-woo’s forehead as a diagonal tension line showed on his forehead.
It was a bodily reaction that appeared when feeling really awkward, angry, or amazed.
Yoo So-ri had been acting strange since yesterday.
Worried, he went to the duty room to find her, but she avoided him with a cold attitude.
Could she be scratching her stomach with strange words?
During the morning meeting with the residents, she tried not to meet his eyes,
but now she boldly passed him without even looking?
Is this what it means to distinguish between work and personal matters?
As Hyun-woo, unable to grasp what was bothering him, a cold, awkward laughter and a sigh burst out consecutively.
Today was a day for outpatient consultations.
A few days ago, Go Sung-hee, a patient who visited the hospital for suspicion of a brain tumor, and her husband sat in front of Hyun-woo to hear the test results.
Hyun-woo, who returned as a composed professor, checked the computer images several times.
In fact, the diagnosis of the disease had already been made. His initial intuition was completely correct.
“You vomited again this morning.”
“Yes. Vomiting is particularly severe in the morning. I also have a severe headache. Breathing is difficult.”
“Do you see this side of the picture?”
“Yes.”
“This is the cerebellum. The white area you see here is the tumor. The symptoms are appearing due to this tumor.”
Hyun-woo calmly explained while showing the pictures. His voice was extremely dry, not allowing extreme despair or baseless hope.
“So, what happens to me now?”
“To be honest, it’s not a very good situation.”
Go Sung-hee and her husband held each other’s hands, focusing only on Hyun-woo’s lips.
“If it’s a benign tumor with clear boundaries, removal is relatively easy, and the surgical prognosis is good. However, in the case of Go Sung-hee, the boundaries on this side are relatively unclear. It’s not easy to remove a malignant tumor with unclear boundaries. However, not having surgery is a situation that is hard to guarantee for a few months.”
Delivering such news was always a difficult task. However, it was also his duty to not hide the fact that there was no room for optimism.
“So, what should I do?”
“There is no room for choice. You need to be hospitalized and undergo surgery.”
Hyun-woo held the husband’s hand tightly and looked at Seong-hee, who shed tears. The husband embraced his thin-shouldered wife.
She was a woman of similar age to his mother, who died from a brain tumor. Whenever he encountered such a patient, memories of his mother inevitably surfaced.
Why did his mother give up treatment?
If he had known about his mother’s illness a little later, after becoming a doctor, could he have persuaded her?
Being young and ignorant is nothing but incompetence. That’s why he often felt that everything was his fault.
No, it’s not my fault. I almost forgot for a moment.
His mother was suffering not physically but mentally.
When his father’s attention waned, his mother, who yearned for his care, began refusing to take medicine and started rejecting treatment.
Since then, Hyun-woo spent days and nights by his mother’s side.
His mother regarded him as a substitute for his father and felt relieved. She was happy until the moment she died.
Resenting his indifferent father, vowing that no one would care, he lived.
Before he knew it, he was voluntarily intervening in Yoo So-ri’s life.
With such thoughts, suddenly the troubled face of So-ri crossed Hyun-woo’s mind.
How should one handle a stubborn lover?
In a moment of contemplating a concern he had never thought about before in his life.
“Professor, it’s not absolutely necessary to be hospitalized right now, is it?”
The husband of the patient Go Sung-hee, who had been silent until now, asked.
Usually, people ask whether immediate hospitalization is possible. It was an unusual question, and Hyun-woo was somewhat puzzled, but he answered sincerely.
“Of course, if you need time, you can go home and prepare. However, delaying the time is not advisable. You should hurry.”
“Yes, I understand. Thank you.”
As the couple left, Hyun-woo wiped his cold face with his dry hands.
He missed Yoo So-ri.
Even if it’s just to see her sulking face for a moment.
There was still an hour left for the outpatient session to end.
Suddenly, a bitter laugh burst out from him.
For two days, he had found So-ri’s behavior undoubtedly annoying, and until a moment ago, she had made him feel boiling, but now he even missed her and wanted to see her.
It was incredibly cute, almost absurd to think like this, but…
Even though he felt awkward by himself, there was only one thought in his mind.
How to make So-ri laugh.
If Yoo So-ri felt upset because of him, it was probably his fault rather than hers. That’s what he decided to think.
Today, somehow, he had to lighten the mood and comfort her.
He would take her home in the evening, make delicious food, and let her rest. No, maybe they should go somewhere with a better atmosphere for a meal?
Since she would be exhausted from her duty at the hospital, was there a way to combine a date and relaxation?
Just as he was pondering about ways to lift So-ri’s spirits, a message arrived on Hyun-woo’s phone.
It was from his younger brother Jiu.
[“I’m going to see my brother at the hospital today. Can I see you briefly later?”]Today, his younger brother might be able to help him.
Hyun-woo quickly sent a message to Jiu.
[“How about the three of us having lunch with So-ri?”]Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
