#Episode 67
***
Kang Hyeok’s eyes were filled with affection as he looked down at Da-som sleeping soundly.
He had gone to a 24-hour hangover soup restaurant at dawn to get takeout and was waiting for Da-som to wake up.
At the restaurant near the hospital, he saw familiar faces.
Seong-ho, Choi Eun-ju, and even Nurse Im.
They all looked like they had been running around all night – their eyes were half-glazed and their appearance was a mess.
He tried to just get his takeout soup and leave without acknowledging them, but Choi Eun-ju spotted Kang Hyeok and called out loudly.
“Oh, Tae Kang-hyeok! What brings you here at this hour?”
“What, did you say Kang Hyeok? Hehe, it really is him.”
“Oh my, Professor. How nice to see you here.”
Kang Hyeok had no choice but to approach and greet them, asking Seong-ho.
“Ma Seong-ho, were you drinking until this hour?”
“Hehe, we were drinking because it was our day off. We’re going to eat hangover soup and then part ways. But what brings you here at this time?”
“To buy hangover soup.”
Seeing what he was holding, Seong-ho’s eyes became drowsy.
“Did you buy it to feed Da-som?”
Because of the incident with Da-som’s birth mother in the emergency room waiting area, everyone at the hospital had found out.
Some who had already caught on showed reactions like they knew it would happen, but most people’s reactions treated Kang Hyeok like a thief.
“Yeah. Well then, everyone eat up. Nurse Im, please be careful going home.”
As he was about to turn around, Choi Eun-ju stopped Kang Hyeok.
“Where are you going? Do you like young women that much?”
“Are you drunk?”
“Yes, I’m drunk. Nurse Im, I told you I liked that thief, didn’t I? I’m the person who even moved to the officetel where that guy lives to try to have something with him.”
Choi Eun-ju must have been quite resentful as she beat her chest and openly threw a drunken tantrum.
“Oh my, that was a bit much. There are trees that won’t fall even if you chop at them a hundred times, but you didn’t know that. How many doctors have fallen flat after making a fuss about liking our Professor Tae?”
At Nurse Im’s words, Seong-ho chuckled and said something really cutting.
“When I think that this guy was a resident who had been grinding away at the hospital when Da-som just entered university, it really gives me chills.”
“The person in question will leave now, so feel free to talk comfortably.”
With a premonition that he would be the subject of people’s gossip for quite a while, Kang Hyeok gave a brief greeting and escaped from the store.
Even on the way back to the officetel, Seong-ho’s words wouldn’t leave his ears.
Back then, wouldn’t she have been adorably bite-worthy?
He could easily imagine Da-som’s face as she roamed the campus after just entering university.
Kang Hyeok escaped from his thoughts and looked down at Da-som sleeping soundly.
She’s so pretty even now.
When he gently bit Da-som’s nose bridge without hurting her, Da-som frowned and turned her head. He grabbed Da-som’s chin and showered her face with kisses.
“Mmm, go away.”
Da-som pushed Kang Hyeok away as if annoyed.
“Da-som, you need to wake up.”
“Mmm, I’ll sleep just a little more.”
“Then shall we sleep together?”
He embraced Da-som from behind as she lay on her side and pressed his body against hers.
The vigorous guy seemed to have no sleep as he woke up early and made his presence known.
“Da-som, I’ll just stay like this for a moment.”
Kang Hyeok moved his body slowly and licked up Da-som’s nape thoroughly.
The heat that had been subtly gathering raced quickly through his blood vessels.
Kang Hyeok exhaled hot breath and buried his face in Da-som’s nape.
It had only been one day.
It was woefully insufficient time for Da-som’s wounds to heal.
Kang Hyeok intended to keep Da-som buried in his love without giving her time to think of anything else.
Da-som, who was particularly ticklish, let out a languid laugh while embraced in Kang Hyeok’s arms.
Yes, this is how you should laugh.
If you keep laughing, the day will come when you truly laugh.
As far as Kang Hyeok knew, there were no wounds that didn’t heal. Because we have the miracle medicine called time.
***
For several days, Kang Hyeok carefully watched the waiting room. He thought that woman might not understand and appear again.
That day too, when he came down after leaving Da-som in the research lab, the woman was still waiting for Da-som in the waiting room.
His anger rose to the top of his head at whether she really didn’t care about her daughter’s wounds at all.
Da-som’s face, pale as if she might stop breathing at any moment, was vivid in his eyes, but such things seemed to be of no concern to this woman.
He trembled with rage at her terrible selfishness.
When Kang Hyeok approached, the woman got up from her seat and looked for Da-som.
“Where did Da-som go?”
“Please leave here.”
“No, I need to meet Da-som.”
After living quietly as a mouse for over 20 years, why now.
When she was desperately searching, she didn’t show even her nose, so why now.
The image of the woman crying and begging to save her son flashed by.
What to do about that sense of betrayal.
“Da-som doesn’t want to meet you. Coming to your daughter’s workplace and doing this is misconduct. If you don’t intend to ruin the future of your daughter who became a doctor through difficult studies, please leave here.”
Whether she felt humiliated by Kang Hyeok’s words, the woman’s face turned red.
He coldly stared at the woman who staggered while pressing her forehead with her elegant hand wearing a diamond ring.
“I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with my daughter, but third parties should stay out of it.”
“What if I’m not a third party?”
Kang Hyeok looked at the woman with cool eyes and smiled.
They say you can’t tell just from appearances.
As Da-som said, it seemed better for both of them never to see each other again.
Still, since she was the birth mother, he thought it might be good to leave room rather than cutting off blood ties with one stroke, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
“Leave. Coming here and doing this is interfering with work. Leave before I report you, and don’t come looking again until Da-som wants you to. If you really care about Da-som.”
He spoke each word coldly enough to form thin ice.
She seemed curious about how Da-som had lived and how she was doing now, but she seemed like someone who didn’t even have the right to know.
When Kang Hyeok gestured while looking at the security guard patrolling the emergency room, he came running.
Then the woman’s eyes visibly shook.
Although she had a beautiful face resembling Da-som, that was all.
“Please understand that Da-som is as precious as Kim Min-chan is to you as your precious son. Don’t appear anytime to torment her just for your convenience, and it would be better to continue living as you are now.”
“…That’s, that’s not…”
“Please escort her outside. And don’t let just anyone into the waiting room.”
After speaking to the security guard, Kang Hyeok turned around.
Fortunately, Da-som had been doing well without saying anything particular after that.
She still busily and energetically roamed around the emergency room.
For Kang Hyeok, it was an incredibly grateful thing.
***
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
On the way back to the emergency room after briefly taking turns eating, a call came from Mother Kim Younghye.
“Who is it?”
When she just stared at the screen without answering even though the phone was ringing, Han Byeol asked carefully.
Her expression suggested she was wondering if it might be a call from that woman.
“No, it’s a call from home. Go ahead first. I’ll talk and then come.”
“Okay.”
After Han Byeol left, Da-som pressed the call button.
“Hello?”
—Da-som, it’s me. Are you busy?
“I can talk. I’m just on my way back from eating.”
—Alright. Then let me ask you something.
Her voice sounded more deflated than usual, so it seemed like her sister had told her everything truthfully.
How much the two of them had laughed in amazement that day.
So-yeon’s image came to mind, laughing heartily saying it was actually for the best.
“Yes, please go ahead.”
Da-som walked outside the hospital building.
Outside where warm sunlight was shining down, a pleasant and cozy breeze was blowing.
—I’ve been completely out of it since hearing what So-yeon said yesterday. I thought it would be better to hear it directly from you, so I called.
Her heart was pounding. Even though she tried to calm herself down, perhaps because she was naturally timid, she broke out in a cold sweat.
“…Yes.”
—That thoughtless fool pulling such a stunt, and you must have been so worried sick too. Yesterday I was ready to die. After bragging about him to all the neighbors, I was so embarrassed I didn’t know how I’d show my face around town.
It seemed like her sister had told her everything, including going on the blind date as a substitute. Da-som held her breath and waited for the next words to follow.
Seonwoo, who had been walking from a distance, saw Da-som and smiled brightly as he passed by.
Other doctors were also visible, apparently returning from eating out.
Da-som bowed her head slightly in greeting while focusing on the phone call.
—But on the other hand, you know what I thought? Even if he won’t be my eldest daughter’s husband, thinking that he’ll be my second daughter’s husband was both infuriating and amusing. You’re dating him well, right?
“Yes.”
—Good, good. That’s all that matters. You’ve done everything well since you were little without me having to interfere. Your sister never did anything properly unless I got involved. Still, since she’s the eldest, I lived thinking the eldest should do well for the younger one to do well too, but I guess everyone lives according to their own fate.
She had thought she might hear that she had stolen her sister’s fortune, but it seemed she didn’t hate her that much.
Something that had been pressed deep in her heart was released, making her feel relieved.
It might be because Kim Younghye’s reaction was better than she had expected.
—Don’t you dare talk about breaking up because of me or anything like that. Your sister can just meet another good man. You hold on tight. Don’t let him go. Got it?
“Yes. I will.”
—Good. Hurry and go back in. I’ve talked too much, keeping a busy person.
“Please go in.”
After ending the call, Da-som let out a light sigh into the blowing wind. She felt like everything was gradually finding its proper place, one by one.
Her heart swelled with baseless hope that everything would work out well from now on.
Under the dazzlingly bright sunlight, Da-som smiled brightly for the first time in a while.
“Hey, cotton ball. What are you doing there?”
Eun Hyeok spotted Da-som and shouted as he approached.
“Just.”
“Dr. Ahn Sin-ho is glaring daggers. Hurry up and go.”
Eun Hyeok, who was now going to eat in shifts, pushed Da-som’s back.
“Eat lots and come back. I’m going in.”
“Alright. Work hard for my share too.”
Watching Eun Hyeok run off chuckling, Da-som laughed along with him.
