#Side Story Episode 2
***
“Ugh! Oh, my aching body.”
Trying to keep up with her vigorous husband seemed to be wearing her body down.
Just how many times did we do it yesterday?
Once right after he got off work, once after dinner, once at dawn.
Three times total.
And even after all that, Kang Hyeok got up at the crack of dawn to go to the gym and work out.
He never missed a single day.
Da-som, who was far from being able to keep up with Kang Hyeok’s stamina, ended up waking up late in the morning because of it.
When she left the bedroom and went to the kitchen, simple food that Kang Hyeok had prepared was set on the dining table.
There was also a handwritten note with it.
“There’s juice I made in the refrigerator. Don’t drink coffee first, drink that. You know I’m going to the academic society gathering tonight, right? I’ll call you later. I love you.”
Kang Hyeok, who worked hard at both supporting her and being supported, was an ideal boyfriend and husband.
Though sometimes his excessive vigor was a problem.
Da-som went to the refrigerator and took out the juice.
The juice made with strawberries and bananas tasted like honey.
How could anything her husband made not be delicious?
Since he said he was going to the academic society gathering today, he would definitely come home after drinking.
“Should I make some bean sprout hangover soup?”
Da-som, who decided to use her limited cooking skills for her husband, headed to the bathroom to go to the mart.
The moment she took off her clothes before showering and stood in front of the mirror, a scream escaped without her realizing it.
“Ahhh!”
She had thought he was being particularly bitey and sucking at dawn, and her whole body was red and blotchy like mosquito bites.
Really, even if you like it, there’s a limit.
The kiss mark next to her right earlobe particularly caught her eye.
Fortunately, it was in a spot that could be covered with her hair, but since she couldn’t go around with her hair down all the time, people would definitely notice it.
“Sigh…”
As Da-som wondered why Kang Hyeok, who rarely left marks, had done that, she suddenly remembered Eun Hyeok’s strange behavior yesterday.
“Kim Sang-gyu, do you know who the person next to you is?”
Eun Hyeok had suddenly approached and picked a fight with Kim Sang-gyu while standing with one leg cocked.
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“Listen carefully. This person is Professor Tae Kang-hyeok’s wife and will become my sister-in-law. So make sure you treat her well.”
“Ah…!”
“What, you didn’t know? Oh, I guess you all didn’t know. Then you’re responsible for telling the rest of them. Got it?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Good. I’m only telling you this because it’s you, but Professor Tae is no ordinary crazy bastard. So be careful. Don’t do anything to get on his bad side.”
“I can’t live like this, really.”
It was clear that Kang Hyeok had not only had Eun Hyeok announce that she was a married woman, but had also claimed ownership with these kiss marks.
How bewildered Kim Sang-gyu must have been.
Even though they acted like they couldn’t stand each other, at times like this, the Tae brothers worked well together.
***
Bzzzz.
A short vibration sounded.
“Hey, isn’t that Professor Tae’s phone?”
Even in the midst of a heavy drinking session, the Head Nurse noticed the vibration sound like a ghost.
Kang Hyeok picked up his phone from the table and checked the text.
It was a text from Da-som.
“Our honey, you know to drink just a little, right?”
Kang Hyeok’s lips curved up naturally.
“Yeah, I will.”
After quickly sending the text, he confirmed that the number next to the message disappeared.
“I love you. Be careful coming home. I made bean sprout hangover soup, so make sure to eat it before sleeping.”
Da-som sent another text with cute emoticons.
Hangover soup, no less.
The sight of her imitating a nagging wife was both funny and endearing, making Kang Hyeok chuckle softly.
Da-som, who was working the night shift in the emergency room, wouldn’t be seen until tomorrow morning.
Though he wished they could be together 365 days a year, that would be too greedy of him.
…Should I go see her?
Even after all that biting and sucking until dawn, his heart fluttered at just one text.
As he gently stroked Da-som’s text with his finger, he glanced up.
Looking around, all the academic society committee chairmen were drunk.
The only sober person was the Head Nurse, who could drink like a fish.
Kang Hyeok decided to leave when they moved to the third venue and started quickly passing around drinks.
Though he could be with Da-som all day tomorrow, once his heart was set, he felt like he had to go see her.
“Head Nurse, please take my glass.”
“Hey, looks like our Professor Tae is getting started. Huh?”
“That’s right, the atmosphere only gets lively when Professor Tae steps up. Take my glass.”
Professor Kim Mijeong from Korea University’s Emergency Medicine Department offered her glass.
When Da-som reached middle age, wouldn’t she be like Professor Kim in front of him?
He could picture her offering drinks to junior doctors.
Of course, she would be much more wonderful and stylish.
She would still be lovely and pretty.
What to do.
I want to see Da-som even more.
Kang Hyeok’s eyes lit up as he rolled up his shirt sleeves.
Should I show off my skills after a long time?
Since I’ve decided to go, let me send them off quickly.
“Wow, what is our Professor Tae doing right now?”
When Kang Hyeok, who never actively participated in drinking sessions, rolled up his shirt sleeves for once, the renowned professors began getting excited.
“I’ll mix them properly.”
He gathered the glasses, poured appropriate amounts of liquor, then blocked the beer bottle opening and shook it vigorously.
Foam shot out like artillery shells from the pressure.
This method was fastest when making multiple bomb shots.
“Wow! That’s Professor Tae for you!”
“When did you learn to do this?”
“Amazing!”
“Everyone drink up.”
He passed out the glasses one by one. Just two more rounds and it would be over.
Watching the Head Nurse tie his necktie around his forehead and stand up after one bomb shot, Kang Hyeok smiled with satisfaction.
***
It was almost 11 PM.
Getting out of the taxi, Kang Hyeok caught his breath for a moment before going to the emergency room.
The late cold snap that had brought chilly winds morning and evening was gone, and warm breezes were blowing.
Flowers in full bloom were beautifully scattering in the streetlight.
Though he had come all the way to the hospital with the sole intention of seeing Da-som, thinking of the department people who would make a fuss made it hard for him to take a step forward.
His appearance after work hours would be like a disaster to those who firmly believed that emergency patients would rush in like crazy when he showed up.
Da-som seemed to believe that too.
Chuckling, Kang Hyeok emptied the water bottle in his hand and threw it in the trash can.
He tightened the loosened tie knot and buttoned up his suit jacket.
Kang Hyeok, who had tidied himself without a single detail out of place, headed to the Emergency Room to see Da-som.
The fragrance of flowers carried by the wind brushed past his nose.
It was a scent that resembled Da-som.
Thud, thud.
The sound of Kang Hyeok’s dress shoes echoed through the hallway.
“H-Hyung, what brings you here….”
His younger brother Eun Hyeok, who encountered him in the hallway, was startled and stepped backward.
“Did I come somewhere I shouldn’t? What about you—where are you coming from instead of seeing patients?”
“The r-restroom. I had an urgent need.”
“Wash your hands thoroughly.”
“As if I wouldn’t wash my hands!”
Leaving the indignant Eun Hyeok behind, he headed toward the Emergency Room Lounge.
Unlike usual when it was bustling with activity, today was relatively quiet.
Perhaps that was why.
The atmosphere in the waiting room felt subtly different from usual, so he surveyed his surroundings with sharp eyes.
Not only the waiting patients but even the nurses seemed excited, as if they had seen something remarkable.
Thinking that some celebrity must have come, he approached the reception nurse.
“What’s going on?”
When Kang Hyeok asked in a low voice, the nurse finally noticed him and widened her eyes as she greeted him.
“Oh my, Professor.”
“Why is the atmosphere like this?”
“More importantly, Professor, you can’t come in here. Everyone told me to guard the entrance well.”
Kang Hyeok leaned his arm on the information desk and smiled slyly.
“Are you really going to do this when it’s not just a day or two?”
When he asked with narrowed eyes, the nurse poked her head out and looked toward the inside of the Emergency Room, then spoke in a small voice.
“I’m only telling you this because you’re the Professor. Han Bin is here right now.”
“Han Bin?”
Kang Hyeok’s dark eyebrows lifted slightly.
No wonder he felt like coming.
