It was as if ti had stopped. Students and interns full of astonishnt on their faces.
How did he dare behave and speak so rudely in front of the professors and the seniors?
With a deep frown, the professor did not take his eyes off Suhyuk.
Though everyone was surprised and felt discomfort, Suhyuk alone had a relaxed expression.
Lee Suhyuk.
The professor called him.
It was not such a big voice, but Suhyuk replied with surprise.
Yeah?
The professor turned to him and said, Follow .
Suhyuk followed him for a long ti. Those around him were agitated.
Suhyuk followed him with a staggering gait.
At that mont while he was feelin dizzy, his cla.s.smates and seniors were staring at him.
So did the professor. What kind of situation is this anyway?
Huh
Suhyuks, with his wide back, who deeply sighed, seed to be kind of shabby today.
I just feel sorry for him
I wonder if he will get a big scolding
Of course he will
Everyone cast their eyes at his back disappearing into the distance.
He was usually a quiet and good guy. Then how could he have such sudden rude behavior?
It was unbelievable, but it had already happened.
Could it have an adverse effect on his practice score?
Quiet!
Everyone withdrew their attention from Suhyuk at Parks voice.
***
Prof. Lee Mansuks office.
Lee stared at Suhyuk sitting on the opposite side with his sharp eyes.
On the contrary, Suhyuk was staring at the table without eting his gaze.
Lee Suhyuk.
Yes?
Only then did Suhyuk lift his head.
Have you ever studied about lumbar puncture before?
I read it in a book.
I see he said.
Lee brought his coffee cup to his lips.
Then he asked, Did you study legal dicine?
In front of him was the student who unveiled the cause of death of the cadaver. Doctors too can roughly detect the cause of death, but its very difficult to find out the exact cause like an autopsy doctor.
At his question, Suhyuk replied like before, I studied it in a book.
In a book Lee nodded his head.
Of course, its possible to study about lumbar puncture in a book. Yeah, thats possible.
In a little while you would beco an intern and then resident, right?
What did he want to say to with such a cold look?
As you know, when you beco an intern, you cant even dream of personal ti, let alone sleep.
Actually Suhyuk knew that very well. He heard that from his seniors.
The faces of the interns and residents who visited the hospital seed exhausted all the ti.
If they closed their eyes for even just a mont, they will likely imdiately fall asleep because of their exhaustive tiredness. That would be his destiny, too.
But I think you can be guaranteed your personal ti and leisure ti even if you beco an intern.
Why is that?
Lee laughed slightly, adding, If you beco my a.s.sistant
Suhyuk had no choice but to be surprised, while the professor recalled his arrogant att.i.tude a mont ago. Isnt the doctor who causes complications stupid? His way of speaking like that was very arrogant, but Lee liked it because he was right.
Actually when he heard sothing coming out of sobodys mouth that he used to think about, he felt as if the vigor of his youth were waking up the cells in every corner of his body again. He even felt he wanted to get out of the office right away to get hold of a scalpel.
What do you think about my offer?
Lee Suhyuk, who had more dical knowledge than his peers or even the interns, he was admitted to Daehan MS after he had been on the news twice. Surely there must be so professor who wants to retain him as his a.s.sistant. At last Lee found a guy that he really liked. Naturally he had to take so action in advance, so that other professors cannot s.n.a.t.c.h him away first. Those residents who were far from ticulous, exhausted by tiredness, did not attract his attention. He could not find any enthusiasm in their eyes.
If you decided to beco a doctor to save a person, you should have at least this much vigor and spirit.
Suhyuk had no choice but to feel embarra.s.sed at Prof. Lees offer. For he expected a big scolding from him, but instead he offered an a.s.sistant role for him.
Well.. let muttered Suhyuk.
Do you have another speciality in mind? asked Lee.
With a regrettable expression, he nodded his head.
Which speciality?
I want to ..
At that mont Lee cut off his words.
Choose neurosurgery. It is the flower of dical science. There is nothing particular in other specialities. And have you heard of my na?
Suhyuk quickly searched for his na in his head.
There was nothing special he could recall, except he was a neurosurgeon professor.
When he was hesitant to speak, Lee opened his mouth bitterly.
I just feel embarra.s.sed to say this by myself, but many lawmakers and rich n co to when they get hurt. Why is that? Because Im the best doctor in this speciality in Korea.
When Suhyuks face was tinged with surprise, Lee made a satisfactory expression.
How about it? Dont you feel attracted to it? If you beco my a.s.sistant, money and honor will co naturally.
Suhyuk had no choice but to think it over.
Money? Of course he wanted to earn a lot so he could take good care of his parents.
But there was a priority in his work. He had to clean his sins.
Sorry
Wait a minute.
The professor, who received a call that he had an ergency patient, looked at Suhyuk with a wistful look. Though he wanted to talk more, he had to move because only he alone could treat the patient. Of course, he could make so other ti to see Suhyuk.
Are you busy after todays practice?
No.
Actually he had nothing particular to do.
Good. Co to see after practice. Ive got so more things to talk to you about.
Yes sir, said Suhyuk, rising from the seat.
***
So, they broke up. Suhyuk, who was going down the stairs, had a blank face.
Lee asking to be his a.s.sistant It was a golden opportunity for him to learn a lot under the direct guidance of Prof. Lee.
I have to tell him clearly though
Unfortunately he had to decline Lees offer politely. For he had to choose another departnt. Suhyuk was surrounded by mbers of the sa group.
What did the professor say?
Suhyuk, why did you do that?
Suhyuk laughed bitterly while he was listening to what his friends said about his behavior.
Only then did he faintly recall the rude words that he had said in front of the professor.
Do I suffer from excess stress symptoms?
When stress builds up and acc.u.mulates, this behavior disorder may co about.
I have to rouse myself more tightly.
When Suhyuk saw a patient, he felt impatient to treat him.
In such a situation, he just felt a headache and felt a pressure in his chest because he could not do anything as a trainee. The feeling of powerlessness he feels when he cannot do anything with a sick patient before his eyes. Maybe that ca as a big stress to him. Its about ti he needed to learn to control his mind.
The hospital has many more excellent dical staff than I, and it is not too late for to be qualified and learn enough first before seeing the patients. Suhyuk resolved himself like that as if he were hypnotizing himself.
Lee Suhyuk.
Resident Park ca to him quickly.
I told you to stay silent so that you do not disturb the round. How dare you show such an arrogant behavior before the professor? Were you crazy?
At his icy tone, Suhyuk recalled his mistakes once more in his head and said,
Sorry.
I have never seen a guy who lost favor in the professors eyes get a high score.
Im sorry
What did the professor say?
Well
What did he say?
He asked to be his a.s.sistant
What?
Park suspected his earring was wrong. He asked again, You said he asked you to be his a.s.sistant? Yes
His eyes beca wide.
Professor Lee, who seed to have no interest in the residents, asked this yellow chick-like student to be his a.s.sistant
Park, looking at Suhyuk quietly, was in pensive mood.
He likes this kind of style Why didnt I notice it up to now? Even if I appear arrogant, the professor likes the kind of vigor and spirit that I could speak out with what I have in mind, and that is the thing. If I beco his a.s.sistant, I would have a bright future before .
Where is the professor now?
He said he would go and do the surgery.
Park, who nodded his head as if he made so resolution, began to lead the trainees again. The evening was approaching. Park went to see Prof. Lee.
Whats going on?
Park spoke, turning over the chart.
As for patient Choi Jinhee, you prescribed dications to her, but I think the other way is the right prescription.
The professor stared at him quietly. The inside of the professors room was still. Only the dirt that glowed in the sky was floating freely.
When Park was intensely anxious, Lees mouth opened, Are you crazy?
After finis.h.i. ng clinical practice, Suhyuk did not go to the house but sat in the hospital lobby.
It was because Professor Lee requested him to wait.
At that mont, a woman giving off a scent of fragrance ca sitting next to him.
She was Choi Suryon.
Are you not going to go ho?
No. Because the professor says he has sothing to talk to about
She was watching TV in the lobby, but there was nothing that attracted her eyes.
You are welcod everywhere you go.
He responded to her whispering words, What did you say?
Her hardened expression grew bright quickly, Nothing, nothing at all.
She was wearing black stockings in a semi-formal suit.
She lifted her slender legs and ma.s.saged them. Fully exposed, her thigh looked breathtaking.
I was just regretting that I wore high-heeled shoes today. I accidently made a run in my stocking.
When Suhyuk nodded his head, turning his gaze elsewhere, she said in a coy tone,
Hey, your friend is sick right now. Would it kill you to take care of ?
Youll get better when you font.
At that mont resident Park appeared.
What are you guys doing here
He could not take his eyes off Chois legs.
She quickly lowered her legs.
What are you doing here while not going ho?
Oh, Im going ho now, she said.
She knitted her brows while standing up. Of course, no one was aware of it because her face was buried by her long hair.
See you tomorrow, sir. See you tomorrow, Suhyuk.
With that goodbye, she started moving.
I want to go out for so fresh air, so let take you to the front.
Park got close to her side. Choi did not refuse and laughed.
Oh, thank you.
Then she looked at Suhyuk for a mont.
He was waving his hand toward himself.
Yes, you should always act innocent as if you do not know anything. You
She turned around and walked out of the hospital with Park.
The crowded lobby was silent and many people started to go ho one by one and others went into the hospital rooms.
Suhyuk.
Professor Kim Jinwook, who ca out to leave for ho, found him.
What are you doing not going ho?
Suhyuk rose from his seat and welcod him, The professor told to see him.
Professor, what professor?
Professor Lee Mansuk.
Kim Jinwook knitted his brows.
Was it because he felt too complacent?
Prof. Lee was already h.e.l.l bent on getting him as his a.s.sistant.
Really? Actually I had sothing to tell him. Good timing.
He had known Suhyuk from when he was an intern, so he did not have the slightest intention of just kicking his heels and losing him like that.
Lee Suhyuk.
Suhyuk turned his head to another voice calling him
Uh?
