I had become a doctor for Divine Beasts.
#90
For a moment, I found myself staring blankly at Si-heon’s hand.
Long, elegant fingers.
They were a beautiful hand, befitting an actor.
“Yeon-hee?”
I’d almost fallen for his charm and reached out my own hand without thinking.
But strangely, in that instant—
Eun-ho’s face suddenly came to mind.
‘……Wait.’
Now that I thought about it, hadn’t Eun-ho seemed quite unsettled when I’d cleared my Control Ability and taken the Precognitive Dream instead?
Perhaps it had been disrespectful among Divine Beasts.
‘If I ever need another ability later and have to clear the Precognitive Dream, I’ll end up feeling sorry to Si-heon too…….’
Several thoughts scattered through my mind.
After a brief moment of consideration, I smiled and shook my head.
“It’s okay. I’ve already experienced the Precognitive Dream once.”
I squeezed the necklace lightly.
“I’d like to try taking a different ability now.”
Si-heon’s hand hesitated ever so slightly.
“I see.”
He quickly smiled as he always did and withdrew his hand.
“Well, next time then.”
“Yes.”
I opened the door and stepped out of the car.
The night air was refreshing.
“Thank you so much for today.”
“Think nothing of it.”
Si-heon said, lowering the car window.
“Get some rest once you’re inside.”
“You too. Drive safely!”
I waved my hand.
Si-heon waved back briefly in return.
Moments later, as I opened the door to Baek Myodang and looked back, Si-heon’s car was still parked in the same spot.
* * *
After that, I returned to my ordinary life.
Days of opening Baek Myodang in the morning and treating patients one after another.
Then came a certain day.
At last, aired.
And—
The aftermath was far more intense than I’d anticipated.
[Yeon-hee. Do you understand what this means?]
In my room on the second floor.
Alfred, who had been tapping at his laptop while sitting on the bed, suddenly called out to me.
“Hm? What is it?”
As I drew closer, Alfred pointed at the screen with his front paw.
It was the official YouTube channel for , and the view count was skyrocketing.
“Ah… it’s the scene where Si-heon was getting acupuncture.”
I scratched my cheek.
The screen showed Yang Si-heon shirtless, receiving acupuncture from me, frozen in a pause frame.
The comments below were, quite literally, in a frenzy.
– Yang Si-heon’s beauty in the thumbnail is crazy…. I’m absolutely mesmerized.
– Doctor Inside is definitely a health program. My eyesight improved just from seeing Yang Si-heon lol
– Yang Si-heon’s body is crazy. That face with that physique—is this real??
“But what exactly are you curious about?”
Then Alfred read one of the comments with a serious expression.
[You could do laundry on Yang Si-heon’s six-pack. What on earth does this mean?]
“Ah…….”
[Does six-pack mean dried meat? Or does it mean six bundles? And why laundry all of a sudden?]
“That… I have no idea.”
Embarrassed, I dodged the question.
[Humans are truly difficult to understand.]
Alfred shook his head in disapproval.
Then he resumed reading the comments.
[Hmm. There are quite a few comments about you too, Yeon-hee.]
“What kind?”
[Came to see Yang Si-heon’s face but ended up becoming a fan of Go Yeon-hee.]
“…….”
[Becoming a fan? This ‘fan’ business—it means taking a liking to something, doesn’t it? It seems your courteous demeanor made quite the impression on the viewers.]
“That’s not quite…… anyway, you know what, never mind. You’re right.”
[?]
I just let Alfred believe his interpretation.
Meanwhile, I stroked Alfred’s head and looked through the comments with him.
– Where is that Korean medicine clinic? I want treatment there too ㅠㅠ How do I make a reservation at Baek Myodang?
– Director Go Yeon-hee is seriously amazing
– Her explanations are so calm and clear. Everything makes sense
– Wait, my digestion is bad and my back hurts too—could it be Referred Pain?
– Director Go Yeon-hee is totally a cold-hearted cat type…… She would’ve swept idol fan-cams if she’d been a celebrity
I looked down at the screen with an embarrassed expression.
“……What’s with all these comments?”
Of course, most of it was about Yang Si-heon.
But people were also naturally beginning to show interest in me and Baek Myodang.
And one other thing.
Interestingly, there was hardly any mention of Oroji. On the rare occasion she was mentioned, it was only like this.
– The other female director next to her gets compared to Director Go Yeon-hee, though. Wait, what was her name again? Can’t even remember.
└ She couldn’t match our cat director in skill lol
└└ Wait, does our cat director already have a nickname? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Besides that, broadcast captures were flooding internet communities.
In particular, the scene where I had uncovered the true cause of the back pain.
That scene was being shared as a legendary moment and circulated as memes.
[And there’s this article too.]
Alfred moved the mouse with his paw to show me an internet news article.
[ hits record viewership. The broadcast station people are probably celebrating with a feast and dancing about now.]
“Ah……. No wonder I’ve been getting calls from all over.”
I pulled out my phone with a sigh.
It was already filled with calls and messages inquiring about appearing on broadcasts.
Health entertainment programs, YouTube, interviews, documentaries, and more…….
All sorts of offers were coming in.
[Yeon-hee. So you’ll be appearing on another broadcast?]
“No, I have no intention of doing that.”
I spoke firmly.
“I just like seeing patients.”
Especially since I’d been thoroughly drained by this broadcast, I was already sick of cameras.
I doubt I’ll be standing in front of one for a while.
In the meantime, contact from people in the medical field had also increased.
Former classmates from Korean medicine school I hadn’t heard from in ages suddenly started texting.
The group chat for our trio from Kyung-shin University was also in an uproar.
Kyung-shin Medical School Class of XX’s Three Beauties

Hannah

Dude Oroji was completely a cardboard cutout lol Did you bring her just to compare?

Gyuri

Sorry Roji 🙁

Hannah

Well~ but she completely fell short in skill right?~ And they barely showed her after editing~?

Gyuri

Our Yeon-hee was so cool ㅠㅠㅜ
“These girls are something else.”
I let out a small laugh at my friends’ messages.
But then.
The real problem lay elsewhere.
Ring-ring!
Ring-ring, ring-ring!
The phone at the reception desk of Baek Myodang rang again.
I rushed out from my office and reflexively picked up the receiver.
“Thank you for calling Baek Myodang. Yes? A reservation inquiry? Ah… one moment please. The earliest available appointment we have is at the end of next month—would that work for you? Ah, you’ll wait anyway? Understood.”
I quickly opened the ledger and added another reservation.
Beside me, Alfred tapped the ledger with his tail, looking intrigued.
[Oh. A veritable flood of clients, I see.]
That was it.
The aftermath of the broadcast had appointments piling up like crazy……!
Just then, another call came in.
I picked up the receiver again, my expression vacant.
“Yes, this is Baek Myodang. ……A reservation inquiry?”
The moment I hung up, another reservation call came through.
“Ugh…….”
I finally slumped my forehead onto the desk with a thud.
My mind went hazy.
To be honest, the reservation system was a bit outdated. We were still taking calls and manually writing entries in a ledger.
‘Until now there haven’t been that many patients, so this way worked fine…….’
I clung to Alfred and whimpered.
“Alfred. Can’t you answer the phone for me?”
Alfred’s odd-colored eyes looked at me as though I’d lost my mind.
[Tsk tsk. Yeon-hee. Have you finally lost your senses? I am a cat. How could a cat answer a phone?]
“But it’s so hard though……!”
If only I could borrow the hands of a cat!
* * *
Then came a certain day.
Finally, a relief pitcher took the mound at Baek Myodang.
“Director Go Yeon-hee~!”
A brightly cheerful voice rang out through Baek Myodang.
“I’m Jo Mi-so! I’m starting my first shift today!”
The arrival of nursing assistant Jo Mi-so.
“Mi-so!”
I jumped up from my seat with a grateful expression to greet her.
Jo Mi-so broke into a grin.
“I’ll do my best from now on, Director!”
“No, I should be saying that to you.”
I meant it sincerely.
Right now, Baek Myodang desperately needed an extra pair of hands.
Appointments were piling up, medicine needed to be brewed, patients needed treatment.
Honestly, I hadn’t had proper time to eat in recent days.
“Why don’t we start by looking at today’s appointment list?”
She immediately started assessing the situation.
But…….
Jo Mi-so’s expression grew increasingly peculiar as she reviewed the reservation status.
“Wait, Director.”
She looked up sharply from the ledger.
“You’ve been taking reservations like this the whole time?!”
