#Episode 15

Ji Mun watched Cha Tae Mun’s retreating figure in a daze as he left the Rest Room with unhurried but resolute steps, never glancing back.
Phew……
More nervous than he’d ever been during his Resident Doctor interview, Ji Mun wiped the sweat from his brow and stumbled out of the Rest Room on unsteady legs.

***

Buzz. Buzz.
His Mobile Phone vibrated relentlessly inside his white coat.
Bom, who had been entering additional orders from the evening rounds into the charts, stopped what he was doing and pulled out his phone.
The culprit behind the messages was a group chat with his medical school classmates.
I don’t have time to chat with you all right now.
Though he’d been staying at the Resident Doctor Dormitory without going home for a while now, he could no longer avoid it.
Tonight at nine o’clock, a meeting was finally scheduled with the landlord and the four residents of the house.
Ji Mun and Yun Geon, who had been assisting in the operating room, would be coming to the Doctor’s Office soon.
Since they’d decided to go together, it would be less burdensome than meeting alone, but he was still anxious about it.
Unable to spare the time for casual exchanges with his classmates, Bom was about to set his phone down when he noticed an unusual number of messages with his name in them, so he swiped the screen upward.
Bom blinked as he watched the messages scroll up rapidly.
What on earth was this about?
His classmates were frantically searching for him.
Creak, bang!
“Bom! Han Bom!”
The Doctor’s Office door swung open with force, and Choi Yun Geon came rushing in, phone in hand, breathing hard.
For the record, Choi Yun Geon was one of the four house residents.
Including Bom, Cha Tae Mun and Choi Yun Geon were all in the Surgery Department, while Bang Soo Ho alone was in the Emergency Medicine Department.
“What? What’s wrong?”
Yun Geon, with his pale, idol-like features, pointed at his phone while catching his breath.
He must have run quite far.
“All right, I’ll take a look. Just catch your breath.”
Bom, briefly startled thinking it was an emergency, tapped his phone with a reluctant expression.
“H-hurry and check the group chat with our classmates!”
A video posted by one of their classmates appeared.
“You want me to watch this?”
“Yes, that, that! That’s you, isn’t it?”
Though Bom was reluctant, he tapped the video anyway.

[Beautiful YJ University Hospital Surgery Doctor Saves Citizen’s Life]

A large title appeared on the screen.

……What kind of image quality was this?
And who uploaded this without permission?
The scene from the day he went on that blind date was playing unfiltered on the screen.
Unable to watch himself performing CPR like a madwoman, Bom found himself at a loss for words.
Though it was supposedly the same video quality,
Cha Tae Mun’s image, alternating with him in performing CPR, looked like a scene straight from a film.
His resolute, assertive features were rendered in striking clarity.

Comments
The guy is more handsome though? Is the woman even a real doctor?
└There are people like this everywhere, I guess. She’s just pretty, that’s all.
Wow, this is like the Avengers.
I’m getting a real visual feast here. How many times have I watched this? Is he a doctor too?
Can I meet them if I go to YJ University Hospital?
The CPR is so natural. It’s really cool.
Why am I getting emotional ㅜㅜ
Are they dating? Was this revealed here???
└They’re a fine match.
Why is my girlfriend there?
└Not you again?
Another article said they’re in a romantic relationship.

Bom set down her mobile phone after scrolling endlessly through the comments.
Then she lifted her head and stared blankly into the air.
Where do I even go to get something like this taken down?
“Here, there’s another one.”
Choi Yun Geon slid another article across to her.

[The couple, both Resident Doctors in the Surgery Department at YJ University Hospital, alternated performing CPR until the 119 Ambulance Service arrived, and successfully restored respiration using an AED prepared by the hotel. The conscious Jung was transported to YJ University Hospital’s Emergency Medical Center……]

“Romantic relationship? Is this reporter insane?” Bom burst out.
Choi Yun Geon pointed at the photograph.
“More than that, the huge photo is the problem. It’s hideous. What are we going to do about it.”
Bang! The Doctor’s Office door swung open.
Chief and Ju Min Ki rushed in.
“Bom, that’s you in the YouTube video, right? If something like that happened, you should’ve told me. I’m your chief, after all. That’s not cool.”
“I’m sorry, I really am. I just never thought it would end up as a news story.”
“I wondered where you’d gone dressed like that, and it was a hotel? Min Ki, that outfit that day—it matches, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, I think so.”
While Chief and Ju Min Ki went back and forth, texts continued pouring into the resident doctors’ group chat.
Bom turned her phone to silent and let out a long sigh.
“But the person performing CPR with you—they said you were dating. Is that right?”
Chief, eyes wide like a crab’s, turned to Bom.
“That’s just a mistake in the article.”
“Doesn’t look like it.”
“It’s not like that at all. Don’t say something that serious—it’ll cause real trouble.”
Chief, who had been staring at her with an intense, interrogative gaze as if grilling a suspect, slowly nodded his head.
“Well, I heard the new professor was coming, so that can’t be it.”
“Right, absolutely not. We just happened to be in the same place at the same time.”
“Okay, if our Bom says so, then that’s how it is.”
Chief finally set aside his suspicion and focused on the video.
I wonder if he’s seen it too.
He might be scowling and fuming with that handsome face of his.
She didn’t know who the reporter was, but why report such a false story?
As she was deliberating what to do, an exclamation burst from Chief’s mouth.
“Wow, Min Ki, see this? I’ve got some muscle myself, but this guy—his shirt’s practically screaming, I’m telling you.”
“Exactly. Looks like a needle couldn’t even pierce it.”
Ju Min Ki piled it on.
“No, if you pricked it with a needle, the needle would snap clean off.”
Choi Yun Geon, who rarely spoke, chimed in with undiminished excitement.
Yun Geon, stop.
Bom grabbed him lightly and pulled him back.
“Look at this guy.”
“His face is absolutely perfect too.”
“Hey, Yun Geon. Didn’t you say I was the best-looking?”
Chief thrust his homely face at Choi Yun Geon in a half-joking, half-threatening manner.
But Choi Yun Geon was the type who wouldn’t lie even with a knife to his throat.
Unlike Cha Tae Mun, he lacked a certain social finesse.
“I never said that. Ji Mun said it.”
“Oh, Ji Mun said that?”
Chief retreated with an uncertain expression. Ju Min Ki, who was watching him with sympathy, began to tease.
“He actually believed it. That’s just what people say to each other. Honestly, your face next to his is like dried squid. Completely dried squid.”
“You’ve lost it.”
“Either way, you lost, sir. There’s no way to beat that face.”
“Doesn’t it look like he had something done to his nose? Look, look. The bridge is too high to be natural.”
“My sister gets cosmetic procedures all the time, so I know—that nose is all natural. Look at the bridge. It’s clean and straight, but this line can’t be created artificially.”
“Is that so?”
The Chief still wasn’t convinced, fussing with his hand against his face one moment and away the next, muttering nonsense.
In any case, the time to leave was drawing near.
They’d agreed to meet at nine, and if he prepared now and headed out, he’d arrive right on time.
The article had set his heart racing, but since he hadn’t done anything wrong, he decided to set the worry aside for now.
Today he’d just skip the room.
With his resolve firmed, Bom decided to handle the rest after returning to the hospital and rose from his seat.
“I have something to attend to, so I’ll be heading out now.”
“Well done, our Bom. Go on, don’t let me keep you.”
“Yes.”
Bom caught Yun Geon’s eye before slipping out of the Doctor’s Office like he was fleeing. Yun Geon followed right after him.
“What about Ji Mun?”
Bom asked, and Yun Geon pulled out his mobile phone.
“I’ll give him a call. Should we say to meet at the Main Gate?”
“Yeah.”
“Got it. Get yourself ready and come down. I’ll be in front of the Main Gate.”
“Okay, I’ll be down soon.”
But he’d need to change clothes first.
Bom hurried toward the Dormitory.
