Chapter 27. The Two-Faced Wretch

“Ah, well, it’s gotten really late. What do I do…….”

Two in the morning, the hour when even the pub begins its closing preparations.
Among the staff busily cleaning, So Dam fidgeted with her feet while keeping her eyes glued to her mobile phone screen.

“I’m broke, you bastard.”

With Ah Gang beside her, already lost to intoxication, So Dam could only heave deep sighs.

When she shifted her gaze out the window, Restaurant Alley—bustling mere moments ago—had fallen silent.

The bright neon signs and shop lights that had blazed across the street began flickering out one by one.

Sigh. What am I going to do with this guy.
So Dam bit at her drying lips.

The memory of Professor Ma—the bandit of the Trauma Center—hollering at the wavering Ah Gang felt so vivid in her ears that her heart clenched.

That’s when it happened.

The restaurant’s glass door swung open, and a tall man stepped inside without warning.

The cold dawn air rushed in with him.
The man approached the table where Ah Gang lay slumped, his stride certain and unhesitating.

So Dam was mesmerized by the aura of this man, who made the surrounding commotion fade into mere background—but only for a moment. She shot up and went to greet Tae Heon.

“Sir, I’m sorry. I thought it would be better to be honest with you.”
“…….”
“Ah Gang can’t possibly make it to his shift in four hours the way he is now…… I called you without shame, hoping you might help him before then…….”

As Tae Heon’s gaze—cold as a winter frost—landed on Ah Gang’s bowed head, So Dam’s excuses spilled out in endless detail.

Ordinarily, So Dam wouldn’t flinch at much, but facing Tae Heon’s icy stare at point-blank range, her mouth went completely dry.

So this is why he’s the boss of our hospital’s Trauma Center.
That chilling charisma even the hospital director doesn’t dare cross—Boss Tae Heon.

“Sir, please don’t scold Ah Gang. He said he wouldn’t drink because he had an early shift, but I dragged him here against his will.”
“…….”
“He was crying terribly today, said a patient cursed him out for the first time in his life. I just wanted to get him to have a drink and forget about it, but then…… this.”

Tae Heon silently took Ah Gang’s arm and lifted him up.
A biting chill radiated from his lowered expression, as if frost were settling upon his face.

‘Maybe it would’ve been better to just come clean to Professor Ma and take the hit. Ah Gang, I’m sorry.’

From the ice-cold demeanor of Tae Heon, So Dam sensed something ominous brewing.

“Ahahaha! Tension Free came, Tension Free!”

Ah Gang stared at Tae Heon’s face with drunk, glazed eyes and burst into laughter.

“‘Do you not understand Tension Free?’ That damned Tension Free! Hey, I’m Tension Free right now! You bastard!”

Ah Gang mimicked Tae Heon’s tone from earlier that day, hurling abuse at him relentlessly.

So Dam’s face grew increasingly pale.

“Sir…… he’s not in his right mind right now. He’s been going on since earlier about Tension Free like some grieving soul—did something happen to him today?”

Realizing she didn’t have the strength to silence Ah Gang on her own, So Dam hastily began defending him.

“I never imagined he’d pass out after half a beer.”

As Ah Gang continued laughing and pointing at Tae Heon’s face without stopping, Tae Heon, apparently annoyed, hoisted him up and carried him piggyback.

“Let me go! You bastard! Just because you’re the boss, that’s everything? You lucky son of a—!”

“Honestly, I only let him taste one drink because he said he’d never had alcohol in his life…… and he mentioned that Woo Seop had been drinking in his place all this time. I wasn’t trying to overlook that…….”

So Dam’s voice grew smaller and smaller.

“Hey, just because you’re good-looking, does that make everything okay? If your face is that beautiful, your heart should be pure too! You two-faced wretch!”

Clinging to Tae Heon’s neck as he carried him piggyback, Ah Gang thrashed and kicked up a fuss.

Two-faced? Wretch?
Ah Gang, how could you say such things to Sir Tae Heon…….

This was bad.

So Dam fidgeted anxiously, stealing glances at Tae Heon’s profile.

Sighs poured endlessly from So Dam’s lips.

It was a sleek gray sedan, stripped of all excess, its body gleaming with polish.

“…….”
“He doesn’t even have anywhere to go. He never applied for a Dormitory room, just sleeps like a ghost in the On-call Room every shift. And he hasn’t been home in a long time. He doesn’t seem like an abandoned child, but when I ask why he doesn’t go home, he won’t answer…….”

“No. I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.”

For a moment, her ears seemed to melt away entirely.

“Um……? Uh! That two-faced wretch, you’re here again? Hey hey! Why do you keep following me?!”

Tae Heon, who had been keeping his eyes on the road, turned his head slightly to look at Ah Gang.

“That’s right! You two-faced bastard! I know exactly what you’re thinking inside! I know why you’ve been mean to me! My friend—that master among the unorthodox—told me everything!”

“Is that so. Let’s hear what he said then.”

Tae Heon let out a low, incredulous laugh and asked.

“That day! You wanted to sleep with me, didn’t you? And because I wouldn’t, you’re throwing a tantrum! Isn’t that right?”

Subtle bewilderment settled across Tae Heon’s hitherto composed face.

“Why! Did you get caught? Because I figured it out?”

“Yeah! What about it! Yeah yeah yeah!”

Ah Gang pressed his face close to Tae Heon’s and giggled.

Struck by this harmless assault, Tae Heon stared at Ah Gang with an expression that was half-exasperation, half-amusement.

Gone was his usual composed and capable demeanor.

Despite being so thoroughly, hopelessly drunk and giggling like an idiot, there was something about this mess that he found inexplicably captivating.

“My friend says you’re sexually frustrated!”

Tae Heon raised one eyebrow.

The more he listened, the more ridiculous it became.
