Ji-an shook her head with a sigh.

 

To think that someone who should fear nothing in this world would flinch every time during treatment.

 

She checked the anesthetic response and picked up sterilized gauze.

 

“I’ll clean around the area briefly and then stitch it up again.”

 

After explaining and quickly finishing cleaning the wound, Ji-an carefully picked up the suture thread and inserted the first needle.

 

“….”

 

A deep sigh escaped from Tae-jun.

 

When she glanced down, she could see his hand with protruding tendons.

 

He was gripping the bed so tightly that he looked like he was terrified.

 

Could it be… he’s doing this because he’s scared?

 

Ji-an was inwardly surprised by this behavior that didn’t match his large frame.

 

Who would have thought Seo Tae-jun had such an adorably childlike side.

 

He was just like a big baby bear with only size to show for it.

 

Ji-an, who almost smiled without realizing it, was startled and bit her lips tightly while hardening her expression.

 

I’m going crazy. Who’s calling whom cute.

 

Get it together, just think of it as responsibility.

 

Anyway, he’s the person who saved me from almost getting hit by a car.

 

If it weren’t for him, I could have been seriously injured.

 

When his forehead bandage turned red and blood flowed, I really felt dizzy.

 

When I opened it, it was as expected.

 

The existing simple suture line had come undone at one end, and the wound was completely reopened.

 

Just how much force did he use?

 

The wound had completely split open and was deeper than before.

 

The forehead has thin skin, so accidents where it splits open occasionally occur when there’s a lot of movement.

 

However, cases of complete reopening like this were rare.

 

Remembering the Vice Director’s words that it wouldn’t be good if this became known externally, she had brought him into an empty treatment room instead of the emergency room.

 

She hadn’t noticed usually, but with this huge man lying down, the treatment room felt unusually narrow and stuffy.

 

Half apologetic, half embarrassed and heart-fluttering, Ji-an felt like she couldn’t even manage her expression properly.

 

At least his face was covered, which was such a relief.

 

One of the things Ji-an did most often in the emergency room was suturing.

 

Even if she couldn’t sew, Ji-an’s suturing skills were on par with surgeons.

 

If she could just suppress this trembling heart, she was confident she could finish it nicely.

 

However, because Tae-jun kept moving slightly, Ji-an became nervous as well.

 

“Chairman, you can’t keep moving like that.”

 

“It hurts too much.”

 

“I’m just going to do it now, so please bear with it. It doesn’t even hurt since it’s anesthetized anyway.”

 

“It does hurt. My flesh is torn, how could it not hurt.”

 

“Even elementary school students endure this much well.”

 

“They only do it once, but this is my second time.”

 

“That’s why, who told you to be so reckless…! Sigh, if you move you’ll get scars, so stay still!”

 

When Ji-an used a rather stern voice, Tae-jun swallowed and soon became quiet.

 

That behavior was also somehow a little cute.

 

But Ji-an rolled her lips and bit them, swallowing her laughter while concentrating and moving her hands. She sutured like that for a while.

 

But Ji-an, who had been looking down, suddenly felt the lengthening silence was strange.

 

Somehow bothered, she glanced up slightly.

 

Just then, she could see his Adam’s apple moving greatly.

 

He was so tense that his body was completely rigid.

 

I thought it was just simple whining, but does he have needle phobia, which doesn’t suit him?

 

It was when Ji-an was about to look down again, thinking she should finish quickly since there wasn’t much left.

 

She saw his thigh, which was uneven in shape somewhere.

 

Only the right side was abnormally bulging.

 

Something in his pocket…

 

Ji-an’s eyes widened as she blinked and followed the position.

 

My goodness! He’s not scared at all.

 

Could that possibly be that size?

 

He’s tall and has a big build, but still…!

 

I’ve seen countless patients’ bodies, but this robust is a first.

 

Even though I slept with him, only the overwhelming sensation from that day comes to mind.

 

I didn’t have the leisure to properly examine the size…

 

How was it even possible?

 

Ji-an, startled by the thoughts that continued without her realizing, almost let out a scream but swallowed it down. Then she bit her lips tightly and immediately turned her gaze to his forehead.

 

It was annoying. She felt pathetic for thinking he was cute, even for a moment.

 

Ji-an deliberately moved the needle point more boldly and stabbed deeply.

 

“Doctor Hong Ji-an. Aren’t you making it hurt too much out of personal feelings?”

 

Startled, Ji-an cleared her throat and continued suturing silently.

 

“Please go easy on me. I’m a patient.”

 

At his voice flowing out low and languidly, Ji-an’s heart fluttered helplessly again. But she gritted her teeth and spoke coldly.

 

“…If you keep talking, I’ll stab deeper. Chairman.”

 

As if he really thought that was a threat, he didn’t open his mouth anymore.

 

Fortunately, Ji-an’s startled heart settled down, and the churning heat also calmed.

 

When the suture line was finally beautifully finished.

 

“Usually kind doctors give gifts to patients who endure well. Don’t I get anything?”

 

Perhaps finding it more bearable, Tae-jun’s mouth opened.

 

Ji-an deliberately spoke sulkily.

 

“There is. I usually give patients like you who whine a lot the gift of a really painful big shot.”

 

“Ah. A big shot. Hahaha!”

 

It wasn’t funny at all. But suddenly he turned his Adam’s apple red and laughed loudly.

 

That laughing voice was also wonderful, so Ji-an quickly picked up a cotton swab with forceps and brought it to his forehead.

 

“This will sting.”

 

His groan immediately burst out and his handsome forehead wrinkled slightly.

 

Ji-an carefully cut a bandage larger than the wound and applied it.

 

“Be careful not to get it wet, and disinfect it daily. Come back in ten days to check progress and remove the stitches.”

 

“Should I come to this treatment room then too?”

 

“No. Go to the Vice Director.”

 

Ji-an answered as emotionlessly as possible and removed the sterile cloth that had been covering his face. Then she took off her gloves and hurriedly got up from the chair.

 

She deliberately hid her emotions and didn’t give him any glances. She wanted to quickly escape this narrow treatment room. But.

 

“I endured it even though you deliberately stabbed me painfully, so won’t you really give me a gift?”

 

Seo Tae-jun, still handsome even with a large bandage on his forehead, blocked her way with a folded smile.

 

Seeing his shameless smile, Ji-an unconsciously bit her lips tightly.

 

Her heart ached as if stabbed by needles. She felt like she would be swept away by him again in the heat that instantly became feverish.

 

What should I do about this man who keeps shaking me? And what about myself who keeps wavering?

 

I really wanted to give him a bunch of painful butt shots.

 

Ji-an shook her head as if to erase thoughts about him. Then.

 

-Code blue! 1st Floor Emergency Room, code blue! 1st Floor Emergency Room.

 

A loud emergency broadcast calling for her echoed.

 

Guessing that Min-su called her because of this, Ji-an immediately turned around.

 

But his voice caught her steps as she was about to run out.

 

“Be careful.”

 

At the voice filled with concern, the area around her chest instantly ached.

 

“You’re always running around like that, so it’s dangerous like earlier.”

 

The low, deep voice that followed shook her once again.

 

Ji-an, who had been planning to just leave, impulsively pulled out a candy from her pocket that she always carried for sugar boosts.

 

“Here. It’s a gift.”

 

She quickly placed it on his palm as she spoke.

 

“Chairman, stop playing around and get back to work!”

 

Ji-an immediately opened the treatment room door and fled to the emergency room.

 

With her flushed face, pressing down on her pounding heart.
