#Special Side Story Episode 4

“Da-som needs to rest too. How can she rest when in-laws keep coming and going like this all the time?”

“…Well, that’s true. But still, how can I resist wanting to see my nephew? Our Jeong Min should like his aunt more.”

“Both older brother and sister are too selfish.”

“I understand that Kang Hyeok is selfish, but why me? I’m not, am I?”

His sister-in-law seemed to have left her charisma at the hospital and was becoming more and more like Eun Hyeok.

“I really love it when you come like this, sister-in-law. Jeong Min likes his aunt too.”

“Right? Here, take this. I bought it for my sister-in-law.”

Bo-kyung held out a department store shopping bag.

“Sister-in-law, thank you so much every time.”

Bo-kyung always thought of Da-som, even when buying just one cosmetic item.

“Don’t fall for this kind of thing! Just coldly kick her out.”

Eun Hyeok stamped his feet anxiously, but Da-som’s mouth opened wide with joy.

“You’re the one who shouldn’t come. What brother-in-law presumptuously interferes with his sister-in-law’s married life like this?”

Bo-kyung smashed Eun Hyeok’s back.

“Aah! It hurts! I said it hurts!”

Da-som looked at the flailing Eun Hyeok with pitying eyes.

It seemed like he was under a lot of stress at the hospital.

There wasn’t much time left until her return to work.

Eun Hyeok, let’s just endure a little longer.

While looking at Eun Hyeok with such pitying eyes, Da-som’s ears perked up.

Tap tap.

The sound of small footsteps.

It seemed that since Bo-kyung wasn’t coming, Jeong Min was heading toward the nursery to find his aunt.

“Peekaboo.”

Jeong Min grabbed the corners with both hands, stuck out only his face, and played peekaboo toward Bo-kyung.

It seemed he wanted to play the peekaboo game he played with Da-som with Bo-kyung too.

Even though he was her own child, that sight was so cute it melted her heart.

“Kyaaaah!”

But it wasn’t just her, as Bo-kyung let out a dolphin scream and rushed toward Jeong Min.

“Kyaaaah, Jeong Min! Where did our Jeong Min come from?”

At his aunt’s enthusiastic welcome, Jeong Min showed his front teeth, two on top and two on bottom, and laughed out loud.

Even though Jeong Min smiled brightly, it was rare for him to laugh with his gums fully showing unless he was really happy.

“Kyaaaah! So cute. Who does our Jeong Min take after to be this cute?”

“Mu. Muu.”

“Aah! Sister-in-law, did you hear? Oh my! Did Jeong Min just say aunt?”

“Ubba, bba, mu!”

“Is our little prince this pretty because he takes after his aunt? Yes? Is that it?”

Bo-kyung lifted Jeong Min up, rubbed her cheek against his, and showered him with kisses. It was complete chaos.

Jeong Min also seemed to simply love his aunt, wrapping his short arms tightly around Bo-kyung’s neck and expressing his affection with his whole body.

Could he be that happy?

Eun Hyeok looked at the two of them with a rotting expression.

“I really, when I see Jeong Min, he looks like a miniature version of that brother, and sometimes I want to punch him…”

“What?”

“No, of course he’s cute because he takes after you.”

When Da-som glared at him, Eun Hyeok quickly changed his words.

“Our little prince, did you miss your aunt?”

“Bba, ubba.”

The theory that everything is daddy.

When Jeong Min pointed outside and called for daddy, Bo-kyung carried Jeong Min and left the baby’s room.

“Do the General Surgery people know? That the great Tae Bo-kyung is such a crazy person.”

Eun Hyeok, who had been standing with a completely drained expression, turned to look at Da-som.

“Why? Are you hungry? Should I give you food?”

Da-som asked while looking at Eun Hyeok who was staring intently.

Maybe because he’s the youngest, he likes it when you take care of him with anything.

“No.”

“Then what? Should I give you cake?”

“No. I just find you admirable and pitiful.”

“Oh, come on.”

“It’s true. What kind of hardship is this, marrying into the Tae family as the eldest daughter-in-law?”

“What hardship? You haven’t eaten yet, right? I haven’t eaten either, so let’s eat together.”

“Okay.”

Da-som took Eun Hyeok and left the baby’s room.

Eun Hyeok wouldn’t know.

That she was going through the happiest time of her life right now.

That every single day was a blessing.

***

The time just before leaving work after the evening rounds ended.

Just as Kang Hyeok was about to leave the emergency room, Nurse Im called out to stop him.

“Professor, do you happen to know why our guy is acting like that?”

By “our guy,” she must mean Ma Seong-ho.

He spotted Seong-ho looking at Nurse Im with greasy eyes from the nurse station.

“What’s he doing?”

Kang Hyeok’s eyebrow slightly raised.

“I don’t know if he ate something wrong for lunch, but he’s been talking in a voice like he drank cooking oil since earlier, and it’s so greasy I could die. I’m wondering if he might be imitating you, Professor…”

Kang Hyeok burst into an incredulous laugh and retorted coldly.

“Does my voice sound like I poured cooking oil down my throat?”

“Oh, no. It’s not that your voice is like that, Professor, but our guy is good at imitating you.”

Kang Hyeok looked toward Seong-ho at the nurse station again.

He was waving his big hand and smiling brightly.

Did he think the way he talked affectionately to Da-som on the phone looked good?

They say you can’t even drink cold water in front of a child, and he was exactly that type.

“Well, just consider it cute. It can’t be easy for someone of that size to do that.”

“I guess I’ll have to. He likes me so much it’s a big problem. Ho ho ho.”

Nurse Im was also a veteran nurse who had been worn down in the emergency room, so she was beyond ordinary.

It wasn’t because he was her friend, but Nurse Im liked Seong-ho more.

That was a fact even the emergency room copy machine knew.

Kang Hyeok, who had been looking at Nurse Im with narrowed eyes, thought he really should go home now and quietly moved his steps.

He had to go quickly and restore his wounded pride.

Kang Hyeok was thinking only of that.

Ring ring, ring ring.

But what was this loud phone ringing sound?

The nurse station telephone rang ominously.

At that sound, all the emergency room staff stopped what they were doing and turned around.

“Yes, this is the emergency room.”

Tension began to fill the emergency room.

They held their breath and looked at Nurse Im.

Nurse Im, who had paused the call for a moment, spoke in an urgent voice.

“Professor, it’s a pedestrian traffic accident at a railroad crossing. One person has no breathing and no pulse, one has fractures and severe bleeding, and three have abrasions and minor injuries. They’re being transported now, what should we do?”

Kang Hyeok’s eyes hardened.

Kang Hyeok exchanged glances with Seong-ho and nodded.

“Tell them we’ll take all of them, have them come this way.”

“Understood.”

A traffic accident that occurred around quitting time.

It seemed to be an accident where a vehicle that ran a red light at a crosswalk hit pedestrians.

“Alright, let’s prepare.”

At Kang Hyeok’s weighty words, the medical staff hurriedly prepared stretchers and essential emergency equipment to receive the patients.

Though it was quitting time, no staff member stepped forward to leave.

Everyone entered preparations with a solemn resolve.

Shortly after, ambulances arrived at the Emergency Room entrance, and patients loaded on stretcher carts came flooding in.

“Triage the patients, CPR patient to the Resuscitation Room!”

“Intubation!”

The monitors’ loud warning sounds and the medical staff’s urgent voices conveyed the severity, but everyone moved in perfect coordination with eyes shining, determined to save lives.

After that tense time passed, all patients received primary treatment and could be transferred to the Operating Room and Intensive Care Unit.

How much time had passed?

As he removed his blood-stained gown and gloves and looked around the Emergency Room Lounge, someone approached Kang Hyeok.

Kang Hyeok’s eyes narrowed.

Was this guy on the night shift?

Come to think of it, he seemed to remember seeing him shouting and running around earlier.

“Hyung, we’ll handle things here from now on, so hurry up and go home. Da-som will be waiting so long her neck will fall off.”

Eun Hyeok, who was now finally pulling his weight, swept back his disheveled hair and stood with one leg cocked.

A chuckle escaped.

He’d wondered when this guy would become a proper person, but he was doing quite well.

However.

“What do you mean calling sister-in-law ‘Da-som’?”

When Kang Hyeok pointed this out with a stern face, Eun Hyeok shrank his shoulders and stepped back.

“Anyway, hurry up and go home!”

Still, he’d say what he had to say even if it killed him.

Eun Hyeok, who cherished his sister-in-law dearly, was both admirable and appreciated.

When Da-som returned to work, he would become reliable support without anyone having to ask.

“I should go.”

To the home where my wife is waiting.

Just thinking of Da-som made the corners of his mouth relax.

“Just don’t smile like that.”

“You brat. Don’t get cocky and do well.”

“How many years of experience do I have? I’m almost a 4th-year now.”

Kang Hyeok ruffled Eun Hyeok’s crown, who still looked insignificant, then turned around leisurely.

Now it was really time to go home.
