#Episode 33

“Oh my, Doctor! Are you all right? You’re not hurt, are you?”
The nurse rushed over in alarm.
“No, I’m fine.”
Spring rubbed her sore jaw and let out a sigh.
“A security guard calmed him down and took him out earlier, but here he is again, causing trouble.”
“Give me Gauze first. The Bleeding is too severe. And prepare a Suturing kit for me.”
Spring gripped the man’s wrist firmly and pressed Gauze against the bleeding wound, applying Hemostasis.
“Hey, don’t let go! I need to find Bong-sik!”
“Let’s treat that first.”
Now he thrashed about with his whole body, trying to grab at Spring.
But this was nothing for her. Why else would they call her the Steel Rabbit?
Spring gently twisted the man’s arm back as he tried to Headbutt her, evading the blow.
“What? Hey, don’t let go! Can a doctor really do this?”
No matter how much he struggled, Spring didn’t budge an inch. The man’s breathing grew ragged, and he wheezed indignantly.
After holding out for a while, the man finally went limp. Spring seized the moment and led him toward the Treatment Room.
“What the hell, the strength in this….”
“Please hold the patient.”
The security officer and nurse laid the man on the bed and gripped his arms and legs firmly.
The man, already drained of resistance, obeyed relatively docilely.
“You didn’t get hurt?”
Bang Su-ho appeared from somewhere, hurrying over.
From the way he was pulling off his Gloves, it looked like he’d just finished with another patient.
“As you can see, I’m fine.”
Her jaw was tender from the blow, but she was all right. The only problem was that blood had smeared on her gown sleeve.
“I wasn’t asking about you.”
This bastard.
“What are you saying?”
“You know, that guy was flailing around—how did you manage to calm him down like that? Please tell me you didn’t break something.”
Calling someone like that a friend.
Spring gave him a sideways look with eyes like a crayfish, and Bang Su-ho suddenly let out a cry as if he’d just had an epiphany.
“Oh, that’s right! You’re the Steel Rabbit! Goodness, this gentleman’s going to need a few stitches.”
Such nerve.
“I’ll do it.”
Spring pushed Su-ho aside as he examined the wound and decided to do the Suturing herself.
For now he was quiet, but there was no telling when he might act up again.
“You sure?”
Spring approached the patient’s side and met his eyes.
Though the man’s pupils were unfocused, they trembled slightly.
It was the look of someone who had quickly learned that brute force wouldn’t work here.
“I’ll disinfect it and put in a few stitches, all right?”
“Y-yes, but Bong-sik… where is….”
“Once we’re done treating you, I’ll help you look for him.”
The man gave a small nod and breathed heavily.
“This will sting a little. Get me the Lidocaine.”
After finishing the disinfection, Spring took the syringe from the nurse.
The moment the man saw the syringe, his face paled with fear and his lips clenched shut. Watching him tremble as he turned his head away, Spring felt a smile slip through.
“Quite the talent, really.”
Bang Su-ho, who had been watching closely from the side in case the man did anything unpredictable, shook his head as he looked at Spring.
“Just breathe, patient. It won’t hurt as much that way.”
Spring administered the injection to the open wound.
“The anesthetic is fully injected. Now I just need to do the stitches.”
The man’s clenched lips relaxed and he exhaled heavily.
Phew, the smell of alcohol.
Spring put on Gloves and began the Suturing.
Each stitch, carefully and precisely. She couldn’t risk the wound opening up.
“So you’ve completed your Military Service Discharge, then?”
Bang Su-ho teased Bom relentlessly as he watched her suture.
It was his way of saying how precisely and skillfully she worked.
“Done.”
After five stitches, Bom applied Dressing Gauze and secured it with an Elastic Bandage.
“I tell you, every time I watch, I’m in awe.”
Bom let his words go in one ear and out the other.
She’d heard the “military temperament” comment since her internship days.
“You’re all set now. You did well bearing with it,” Bom said to the patient with a gentle smile.
The man looked away at her gaze.
“And we’ll check with whoever came in with you—”
“There’s no one like that. I already checked,” Su-ho interrupted.
It seemed he’d already looked into it.
“Ah, I see. Then you explain it to him. I should get going. Finish up well.”
“There’s nothing left to finish. You did it all. Go on.”
“Thanks for your help.”
Bom left the Treatment Room, leaving the rest to Su-ho.
Some hospitals had separate Emergency Rooms just for Intoxicated Persons, and at this rate, this place probably needed one too.
As Bom looked around the still-rowdy Emergency Room, she felt she’d made the right choice going into surgery.
It wasn’t much different, but that small reassurance helped as she searched for Woo Bin.
“Doctor!”
Woo Bin spotted her and rushed over.
The way he kept his distance and avoided her eyes suggested the aftereffects of that punch lingered.
“Someone was looking for me?”
“Yes. The police brought in some Intoxicated Persons, and one of them is asking for you. Are you… involved in some kind of assault case?”
Woo Bin’s eyes trembled slightly.
This kid was clearly out of his mind too.
“Cut it out. Don’t you know I’m the kind of person who lives right without needing the law? Where’s this cop looking for me?”
“He’s by the Triage Room.”
At the mention of police, the blind date candidate who’d graduated from the Police Academy flashed through her mind, but she shook her head immediately.
It couldn’t be.
Senior Kim Young-woong was visible in the Emergency Room, along with the Plastic Surgery doctors.
They’d all come down after being called and were examining patients.
She decided to meet the police first and then join them, passing through the Lounge toward the Triage Room.
Among the crowd, one man stood out distinctly.
Was it him?
A man in a black leather jacket and black jeans was lingering in that area.
He had the strong self-assertion that would make anyone peg him as a cop.
It did seem to be the blind date candidate her aunt had mentioned.
Though not quite as striking as Tae-moon Cha, his masculine features with defined lines were handsome enough to draw compliments.
Bom, who hadn’t expected him to show up like this, felt at a loss.
Should she just go upstairs?
As she hesitated, unsure what to do, their eyes met.
The man’s dark brows seemed to narrow before his eyes widened.
“…Doctor Han Bom?”
The man approached her without hesitation.
“Yes, I’m Han Bom. Who are you?”
Bom stepped back instinctively, maintaining distance and caution.
“Ah, nice to meet you. I’m Lee Su-hyuk—the blind date your aunt arranged.”
“Ah, yes.”
Her suspicions had been correct.
“You’re surprised, aren’t you? I seem to be making mistakes every time. Your aunt told me you didn’t want to meet. But I couldn’t resist my curiosity. When I happened to be dispatched here, I reached out despite knowing it was presumptuous.”
To that extent?
“To be honest, I’d regret ending things this way. I’d like to meet you properly when it’s convenient for you.”
“No, there’s no need. This is… the end…”
“Our Bom, what are you doing over here?”
Senior Kim Young-woong was approaching with a loud, overly familiar greeting. He must have spotted her after finishing his work.
“Oh, this is the police officer who brought in those Intoxicated Persons earlier. The patients are all treated. Just a few stitches each, so they can take their medication and go.”
Once Young-woong saw the cop, his entire manner switched as if he’d never used dialect in his life.
“Haha, yes. Thank you so much for your hard work.”
The officer bowed respectfully and then turned his body toward Bom.
He spoke with an expression and tone of utmost seriousness.
“I’ll be in touch again, Ms. Han-bom.”
“No, there’s no reason for us to meet again…….”
“Team Leader, should we load them all in the car?”
A police officer who appeared from nowhere cut off Han-bom’s words, calling to Lee Su-hyuk.
“Yes, load them. Then, Ms. Han-bom, I’ll be taking my leave now. Loyalty!”
Wait, what? Loyalty?
Without even a moment to refuse, Han-bom watched the man salute and disappear, heaving a sigh.
“What’s this? Is our Han-bom dating? And with a cop, no less? If he’s a team leader, isn’t he a senior inspector?”
“It’s not like that.”
Kim Young-woong, with eyes wide as a crab’s, had an expression that showed he didn’t believe a word.
