    “Well, no one said we wouldn’t try, Professor Cha.”

    “…Professor Jin.”

    “None of us said we wouldn’t do it. It’s just a matter of checking everything and preparing for any situation. Besides, if not us, then who? It’s not like there’s anyone else who can.”

    It’s Hanguk University Hospital, a place with only the best medical staff. Professor Jin’s statement, filled with pride, made Professor Cha smile faintly. Professor Jin glanced sideways.

    “It’s different from someone who always seems to be looking for something to criticize despite not often participating in surgeries themselves.”

    “Eh, this…!”

    The verge of a second world war between Chief Kim and Professor Jin was imminent. Fortunately, before Chief Kim could stand up, the radiology resident sitting next to him grabbed his arm with all his might, preventing the outbreak of the war.

    “So, Professor Cha, are you taking the lead on this case?” Pediatrics Professor Park asked.

    “It seems so. The metal fragment has pierced through the esophagus and lodged in the trachea.”

    “I think so too. Does everyone agree?” No one voiced any objections. Professor Jin stared at Professor Cha on the podium.

    “Then the thoracic surgery team will handle the removal of the metal fragment and the tracheal suturing, and our pediatric surgery will take care of the esophageal suturing.”

    “We’ll take care of the inflammation on the pediatric side as much as we can.”

    “When would be a good date for the surgery? I’d prefer as soon as possible.”

    “We’ll have to coordinate with our schedules and Professor Jin’s to set a date. Pediatricians, please handle the inflammation care until the surgery.”

    “Yes, I understand.”

    “Once the date is set, please inform our anesthesiology department as well.”

    After a fierce discussion, the meeting was coming to an end. So many variables could arise from a single case that meetings always ended up in intense debates, but the conclusion was always the same.

    The safety and well-being of the patient. Saving the patient.

    The date for the surgery was to be set as soon as possible, after discussing it with the pediatric surgery and thoracic surgery departments. The anesthesiology and pediatric departments left the conference room first, and Professor Jin also stood up. His gaze towards Chief Kim was intense, causing Yesung to feel an inexplicable anxiety. Yesung hurriedly left his seat, but Jin Seokju was already standing in front of Chief Kim.

    “Chief Kim.”

    A tense atmosphere lingered as those still in the meeting room tensed up, fearing a rekindling of the previously averted war. However, defying those fears, Professor Jin extended his hand first. Chief Kim’s eyebrows twitched.

    “What is it, Professor Jin?”

    “Remember? We agreed not to take any hard feelings from the conference room outside.”

    “…Who wouldn’t know that. I’ll forget it once I leave here!”

    “What would you do without me? There’s nobody else who’d put up with that temper of yours.”

    “Ha? As if you’re one to talk.”

    “Well, I might have been a bit harsher than usual today.”

    “…You realize that?”

    Chief Kim straightforwardly shook the hand that Professor Jin had extended first. Looking down at the vigorously shaking hand, Jin Seokju chuckled softly.

    The tension that had been tightly drawn at the possibility of a new conflict relaxed, replaced by a profound sense of relief. And it seemed that Yesung wasn’t the only one feeling this. Looking around the meeting room, everyone except for one person wore the same expression.

    An expression that conveyed the exhaustion of dealing with these two. The professors had realized why they had maintained silence even when the two argued.

    From now on, they would probably not interfere even if those two clashed. A few, watching the odd duo, felt a strong resolve.

    The only person who hadn’t given them any attention from the start was Jung Hageon.

    It was peaceful. It felt like watching a lake with no ripples. Jung Hageon had been looking at Yesung with such a calm gaze. It was the same gaze Yesung had felt throughout the meeting. It was as if his back was being pierced, yet that gaze never wavered.

    Yesung, as if drawn by a magnet, had looked at Jung Hageon only to meet his eyes directly. He was about to avert his gaze when Professor Jin approached, allowing him to naturally look away.

    “Dr. Han.”

    “Yes, Professor.”

    “What do you think about this case?”

    “…Excuse me?”

    “The esophageal suturing. You know how to do it. How about you give it a try?” Caught off guard by Professor Jin’s unexpected offer, Yesung’s eyes widened.

    “Me?”

    “Yes. I think you’re more than capable, Yesung.”

    Bolstered by Professor Jin’s faith in his abilities, Yesung pressed his lips together, his surprise quickly turning to determination. He nodded firmly.

    “Yes. I understand. I’ll do it.”

    “That’s what I thought you’d say. I’ve already spoken to Professor Cha. I’ll be in the operating room too, so don’t worry. Just go for it with confidence.”

    Professor Jin patted Yesung on the shoulder encouragingly. Yesung responded with a sincere smile, a visible joy spreading across his face.

    “I’ll lead the removal of the structure, so Dr. Jeong, you’ll handle the adhesion dissection from there. Sound good?”

    Thoracic surgery Professor Cha spoke to Jung Hageon, and his reply followed.

    “Yes, I can do it, Professor.”

    “Ha ha. Right, right.”

    Despite his casual tone, the confidence embedded in it made Professor Cha laugh heartily. He patted Jung Hageon on the shoulder with a meaningful smile.

    “But you know, Dr. Jeong.”

    “Yes, Professor.”

    “I was quite surprised earlier. I never thought Dr. Jeong would intervene like that, making up such a detailed surgical schedule on the spot as if it were real.”

    “……”

    “Why did you do that? Was it because you disliked how the meeting was dragging, or was there another reason?”

    Professor Cha’s question was directed at Jung Hageon, but Yesung felt a twinge of guilt. He knew all too well why Jung Hageon had acted out of character—it was always when Yesung was involved.

    Jung Hageon didn’t answer. As the silence stretched, Professor Cha was the first to withdraw his hand.

    “Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. I didn’t bring it up to blame you. Good job, Dr. Jeong. That was very astute of you earlier.”

    Yesung felt he understood the ‘astuteness’ Professor Cha was referring to. The reason no one had dared to step forward when Professor Jin and Chief Kim were arguing included some minor political interests as well.

    To blatantly intervene and take sides could cause emotional distress and lead to complications if the pediatric or radiology departments needed assistance later due to today’s events.

    Though neither Professor Jin nor Chief Kim were petty enough to act on such trivial matters, human affairs are always unpredictable, so it was better to be cautious.

    Praising Jung Hageon, Professor Cha turned away, and Professor Jin approached him.

    “Mmm. Professor Cha is right. You were quite astute earlier, Dr. Jeong. Seen that?”

    …Following Professor Cha, even the playful acknowledgment from Professor Jin, one of the parties involved in the argument, affirmed that they recognized Jung Hageon’s act. He should have been pleased, yet Jung Hageon merely nodded his head without a change in expression.

    “Let’s see each other on the day of the surgery then. Oh, Professor Cha! Let’s go together! We need to confirm our schedules and set the surgery date, don’t we!”

    “That was really helpful earlier. It was a tricky situation.”

    “You were great, Dr. Jeong!”

    As Professor Jin and the other medical staff followed, giving Jung Hageon thumbs up, the bustling large conference room quickly regained its silence.

    Now, only Yesung and Jung Hageon were left in the empty conference room. Realizing this belatedly, Yesung hurried to leave, but it seemed too late.

    “Sunbae.”

    The low voice halted Yesung. Jung Hageon’s persistent gaze had waited, hooking onto Yesung’s nape as if catching him.

    “Since it’s a joint surgery between thoracic and pediatric surgery, shouldn’t we discuss it as attending physicians?”

    Stopped by the comment, Yesung stood still. If it had been a personal matter, perhaps he could have escaped. But work-related? There was no way out.

    Swallowing a sigh, Yesung slowly turned around. Jung Hageon’s gaze met his. His smooth black pupils still lay tranquil, submerged. He clearly had much to say, yet his expression, seemingly indifferent, was even more chilling.

    It was the first time since that night in the bar, when Yesung had first been caught off guard by his unreadable expression.

    What was he thinking? Hidden so deeply and never shown outwardly, it was hard to discern his intentions.

    Tension rose, sweat cooling beneath his palms. Gulping down a dry throat, Yesung spoke.

    “Alright. If there’s something to discuss, let’s hear it.”

    “The condition can only be fully understood once we open up, but the metal fragment piercing the esophagus and lodged in the trachea will be removed by our professor. After the professor extracts the fragment, I’ll proceed with the adhesion dissection and nearby inflammation removal and organ repair.”

    “Okay.”

    “After you’re done with the esophageal suturing, the senior who was on standby will come in, and I’ll continue with the tracheal suturing and then finish up. What do you think?”

    “Yeah, that should work.”
