#Side Story Episode 8

“Why am I suddenly popping up? It’s about Da-som. Da-som was eating pork cutlet and started dry heaving.”

“Cotton ball, is that really true?”

“No, it’s just that the smell bothered me and my stomach felt upset.”

“The pork cutlet you used to crave so much is suddenly making you nauseous? This won’t do. Eun Hyeok, hold Da-som tight here. I’ll be right back.”

“Got it. Hurry back.”

Their coordination was perfect.

“Hey, first-year!”

Eun Hyeok called out to Sang-gyu, who was eating with them.

“Yes! Doctor.”

“Go get a cider from the vending machine. You know you’re dead if you bring back Fanta, right?”

“How many years do you think I’ve been doing this job? Of course I know that.”

“Stop talking nonsense and hurry up.”

“Yes sir!”

After Sang-gyu disappeared, Eun Hyeok pulled out a tissue and wiped the cold sweat from Da-som’s forehead.

“Must be because the weather’s hot.”

Eun Hyeok muttered to himself while checking Da-som’s complexion.

Da-som thought it couldn’t be, but still tried to remember when her last period was.

This month’s period was running late, but it wasn’t certain yet.

Sometimes the dates were irregular depending on her condition.

Eun Hyeok, who had been silently watching Da-som, suddenly kicked the chair in front of him and went into overdrive.

“Damn, this is really pregnancy, isn’t it? That bastard hyung can’t even do one thing properly. If this is really pregnancy.”

“It’s not.”

“Like hell it’s not! I should have figured it out when that bastard hyung was rushing the wedding and being all flustered. Last time a three-year-old girl came to the emergency room and the way he looked at her was unusual. That’s when I got the feeling. Ah, that bastard hyung wants a kid. How about it? Am I right?”

Eun Hyeok’s pretty eyes turned fierce as they narrowed.

“No way, would the Professor do that without discussing it with me? It’s not even certain yet.”

“Can’t you tell just by looking? You love pork cutlet so much, if you couldn’t even eat one piece, it’s over!”

“That’s true, but… No, it can’t be, so let’s not think about it. By the way, did you finish eating?”

“How can I swallow food right now? But why is that guy taking so long?”

As soon as Eun Hyeok finished speaking, the first-year came running back breathlessly with a can of carbonated water.

“Here it is.”

“Good, thanks for your hard work. You can go now.”

“But what’s wrong with Professor Jeong?”

Sang-gyu looked at Da-som with worried eyes.

“It’s nothing like that, so go ahead. I’ll get up soon too.”

“Understood.”

After Sang-gyu left, Eun Hyeok opened the can and handed it to Da-som.

“Drink this.”

“Thanks. Let’s get up now too. But where did Han Byeol go?”

“Obviously went to get a pregnancy test. Let’s wait a little.”

It was surprising that Han Byeol was being so proactive about this, but it was even more amazing that Eun Hyeok immediately figured it out.

“Huff huff, Da-som, follow me. Eun Hyeok, you clean up the trays.”

“Got it.”

Han Byeol, who looked like she had just sprinted 100 meters, tried to pull Da-som up and drag her to the restroom.

Da-som sighed as she watched her friends frantically bustling about, then had no choice but to get up from her seat.

“Hurry up and go. I’m so curious I might die. I haven’t prepared at all to become an uncle.”

Seeing Eun Hyeok chewing his lips anxiously, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Geez, really. It better not be.”

“No way it’s not.”

Even as she said that, suddenly craving jjajangmyeon and having her thoughts turn in that direction made it feel like a baby was really growing in her belly.

The feeling was strange.

Han Byeol brought Da-som to the front of the restroom.

“Just in case, I brought two, so try both.”

“Okay.”

Da-som nodded obediently and went into the restroom with the test kits.

Only then did Han Byeol wipe the sweat from her forehead and catch her breath.

Eun Hyeok, who had finished cleaning up the trays, came out of the restaurant and was approaching the restroom.

“I’ll stay here. You go.”

“No, I can’t do that. This is the historic moment when I become an uncle, so if anyone’s leaving, it’s you.”

Look at this shameless guy.

Han Byeol glared at Eun Hyeok and put one hand on her hip.

“I’m becoming an aunt though?”

“I’m becoming a blood-related uncle though?”

Han Byeol tried to send Eun Hyeok away in case they got called for duty, but he wouldn’t budge.

Annoying guy.

Since Da-som started living with Professor Tae Kang-hyeok, she and Eun Hyeok had been hanging around together more often, but she could never get along with that guy.

“What happens if Da-som is pregnant?”

Eun Hyeok was lost in deep thought when he said something random.

“What do you mean what happens?”

“How can she work night shifts while pregnant?”

“She can do it. Nurses work night shifts even when they’re full-term pregnant.”

“Isn’t that against the law?”

“We’ll have to help her. It’s not like Da-som can take a break.”

“True. But that bastard hyung couldn’t control himself. Let’s see if I let him get away with it.”

Acting tough when he can’t even make a peep in front of him.

She thought about giving him a good smack on the back of the head as she looked toward the restroom.

Anyway, it was about time for her to come out of the restroom, but there was no news.

“Oh, Da-som!”

Eun Hyeok spotted Da-som coming out of the restroom and ran to her.

“Da-som!”

Han Byeol also ran to Da-som, not wanting to be left behind.

But Da-som’s expression was ambiguous and something seemed off.

“It’s positive, right? …You’re pregnant?”

Da-som nodded slightly.

“Oh my, you wonderful thing, well done. Well done. Congratulations.”

Han Byeol hugged Da-som and was as happy as if it were her own news.

“…Thanks. I tried both and it seems certain.”

Da-som mumbled quietly with her head down shyly.

“Aaaahhhhh!”

Eun Hyeok screamed like a madman and ran off somewhere.

Startled, Da-som opened her eyes wide and stared at Eun Hyeok’s retreating figure.

“Leave him be. He said he had to be present for the historic moment of becoming an uncle, and look at him now. He’s not your average crazy guy.”

“I should tell the Professor, right?”

“Wait, at times like this you should do a surprise event. It’s no fun if you tell him right away.”

“…An event?”

Da-som seemed dazed, as if it didn’t feel real yet.

“Actually, Eun Hyeok might have already told him. Just show him the test tonight and tell him then.”

“I guess that’s what I should do?”

“The Professor will be so happy. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing Da-som covering her flushed cheeks with both hands, a pleased smile naturally formed on his face.

Hospital life is tough, but she’ll endure it better than anyone else.

The Da-som I know has always been like that.

She lived without knowing how to give up, thinking positively and living courageously.

Moreover, doesn’t she have the strongest, invincible Tae Kang-hyeok by her side?

“Let’s go. Now that you’re not alone anymore, be careful with your behavior, use proper language, got it?”

“Hehe, I got it. Han Byeol, thank you so much.”

“Oh, they say you mature when you become a mother – have you already matured? You understand all my gratitude.”

“Is that so?”

Da-som smiled brightly.

Han Byeol, whose mood improved thanks to Da-som looking so happy, thought she should at least buy some snacks for Da-som who couldn’t eat lunch properly due to morning sickness.

Even though she bickers with Yohan, Han Byeol, who caught Da-som’s bouquet, was thinking of having her wedding before it got too late.

It would be troublesome to have two pregnant women in one department, so she thought she should take good care of herself.

Da-som, who still looks like nothing more than a child, is pregnant.

It was true that it didn’t feel real.

They say when you’re pregnant, you miss your birth mother so much – I wonder how Da-som’s heart feels.

Still, it was fortunate that she has a mother-in-law who’s as good as her birth mother.

***

Kang Hyeok watched the patient’s vitals stabilize before leaving the treatment room.

As he removed his gloves and mask and headed toward the station, Eun Hyeok, who had gone to eat lunch, was approaching while fuming.

Has that guy lost his mind?

Sometimes he shows hostility out of nowhere, which makes me work him even harder.

Knowing that Da-som took good care of Eun Hyeok, I let it slide, but it seems like I need to pick a day to teach him a proper lesson.

Kang Hyeok stopped walking and waited for Eun Hyeok to approach.

Look at this? Now he won’t even greet me?

He must have had a really bad lunch.

“Professor.”

Eun Hyeok, who had approached right in front of him, called out to Kang Hyeok.

“What.”

“Really, just how badly did you torment someone?”

“You’re cutting off the beginning and end – what are you doing right now? Won’t you speak properly?”

Kang Hyeok’s eyebrows shot up.

“Do you know what’s going on with Da-som right now?”

For a moment, it felt like his heart dropped to the floor.

“Tell me straight. What’s wrong with Da-som? What happened?”
