This was going from bad to worse. Plans A and B were blocked, and every alternative was shot down. As Yesung chewed his lip in mounting frustration, about to let out a groan, Jang Kihyun spoke again. “Doctor Han… Right now, Doctor Jin is your best option. I know it’s hard to believe—trust me, no one knows that better than I do—but leaving the patient unattended is not an option. I hate to say it, but Doctor Jin is good at manual reduction. Honestly, his skill in that one area is why he made it…-

Time slipped away as Yesung failed to come to a decision about his worries. The hospital remained as busy as ever, which was actually a good thing. It left no time to dwell on unresolved concerns. If there was time to spare, it was far more productive to spend it taking care of another patient. “Doctor! It’s Im Dowoon! An 11-year-old boy, the injury isn’t severe so his vitals are stable, but he has an open fracture on his right arm! ETA 7 minutes!” “Open fracture, got it. I’ll be right…

“Good work, sunbae.” “Yeah, you too. Hang in there.” Yesung switched places with Park Joohyuk, who had just returned to the hospital after a brief break. When Joohyuk left the emergency room earlier, he had looked more like a corpse than a person, but now he was at least presentable. The excited expression he had when realizing he could finally escape the hospital faded the moment he returned, turning gloomy again. Yesung gave him a pat on the shoulder with a small, encouraging smile.…

After coming down from the rooftop, where he’d gone to lighten his burdens, only to return with an even heavier load, life carried on without much change. The days remained as hectic and unrelenting as ever. “How’s Yeonseung’s drain output looking?” “It’s reduced compared to eight hours ago, and the color has lightened from bright red.” “That’s good. And did Soyeong switch the antibiotics to a second-generation cephalosporin?” “Yes, it was Dr. Seol’s…

A light laugh escaped Yesung as he obediently put the cigarette and lighter back in his pocket and unwrapped the lollipop instead. It was grape flavored. The sweet fruitiness filled his mouth, a stark contrast to the bitter taste of tobacco he had been contemplating. The candy rolled around in his mouth, making a small clattering noise. As the sugar filled him, his mood, which had been as dismal as the weather was bright, seemed to lift a little. Maybe more effective than a cigarette. The wind…

That sudden gratitude left Yesung blinking in surprise, the burger halfway out of its wrapping. A laugh bubbled up unexpectedly but caught in his throat, triggering a dry cough. He spoke, bewildered. “Hey… you bought this with your own money. What are you even thanking me for?” “I didn’t think you’d want to eat with me. That’s why I only bought yours. I never imagined you’d just hand me fries like this.” You know me too well. Apparently, all those cold shoulders weren’t wasted.…

Yesung knew Jung Hageon was someone who could keep his mouth shut. Still, he had assumed that last time’s silence was because Jung Hageon himself had been involved. “…Why?” “There’s no reason for me to tell anyone your secrets, Sunbae. Besides, I don’t want to.” And why didn’t he want to? As Jung Hageon continued speaking, Yesung’s confusion only deepened. Normally, each answer would resolve one question, but with Jung Hageon, it felt like each answer brought more…

“What’s this child’s name?” “It’s Jung Areum.” Looking through the glass walls of the resuscitation room, Yesung saw her parents crying, their hands pressed against the barrier. Though they couldn’t hear, it seemed they already understood the outcome from the doctors’ demeanor. “No, no! Areum! Areum, no!” “Honey!” Turning away from the heart-wrenching sight, Yesung solemnly announced, “March 23, 20XX, 7:21 PM. Jung Areum, deceased.” At his words, the nurses…

As the once-calm afternoon progressed, the emergency cases began pouring in without mercy. It was already the third operation of the day, and before Yesung could even take a breath, his work phone buzzed. The call was from the emergency room. Hastily removing his surgical cap, Yesung picked up the phone. “What’s the case?” “A 13-year-old female, TA case! But it’s a pedestrian TA, so the trauma is severe, and the bleeding is heavy! ETA is in 4 minutes, give or take! You need to come right…

Baek-o visibly shuddered at Yesung’s sudden switch in demeanor, but his reaction lasted only a moment before he cheered. “Yes! Then let’s go together after our shifts tomorrow! I’m off tomorrow evening too!” Having known each other for so long, they understood each other well. Just as Yesung knew Baek-o’s ways, Baek-o had no trouble handling Yesung’s dual nature. Cheerfully, Baek-o announced he’d let the others know about the plan as he tapped away on his phone. Yesung watched with…
