The city lights stayed on late into the night, the eight-lane roads filled with cars speeding past, and even the noisy chatter spilling out from the bars. It was a late Saturday night, and the vibrant atmosphere of the city, flaunting its dazzling nightlife, felt completely at odds with Yesung’s utterly drained state. He found himself face-to-face with someone he was sure he’d only met recently. It wasn’t a situation he wanted to be in. With a slight furrow of his brow, Yesung began to walk.…-

The atmosphere quieted, and Yesung gestured at their trays with his spoon. “Let’s just eat.” “Yeah! Let’s do that. Great idea! I don’t know what I was thinking.” Grateful for the topic change, Baek-o eagerly dove in. But perhaps it was already too late. Like some sacred ritual, he scooped a large, tightly packed spoonful of rice and was just about to take a bite when— ♬♪♩~ ♬♪― The cheerful ringtone made both of them freeze. Yesung’s spoonful of soup dripped…

Now, as Jung Hageon disappeared from view, Yesung resumed walking. As a person, he still wasn’t sure what to make of Jung Hageon. But as a doctor… he might just be an exceptional one. Thinking this, Yesung quickened his pace toward the locker room. His hospital-issued phone vibrated in his pocket. The caller ID showed it was Kang Baek-o. “Yeah. What’s the case?” “Ye-sung~ Where are you right now?” Assuming it was about an emergency patient, Yesung immediately pivoted back…

The intern who had run out earlier returned with the saline. After swiftly completing intubation, Yesung poured the saline over the glass-lodged abdomen and covered it with gauze. Removing the shard blindly wasn’t an option, as the patient’s vitals were stable precisely because the glass was plugging the wound. Pulling it out recklessly could result in catastrophic bleeding and an uncontrollable drop in blood pressure. The priority now was to stabilize the BP as much as possible. “Where’s the…

“…Sunbae, wake up. Please, wake up, sunbae.” “Ugh… What is it…?” Yesung groggily opened his eyes, reluctantly lifting his heavy eyelids, only to be met with Jung Hageon’s face right in front of him. Startled, Yesung scrambled backward, wrapping his blanket tightly around himself. “Wh-what the hell?! Why are you in my room?!” “I came to wake you up so you can eat dinner before going back to sleep,” Jung Hageon replied calmly, completely unbothered by Yesung’s alarmed…

“Great job, everyone. Dr. Han, you can finish up with this patient and head straight home. It’s been a while since you’ve been able to go home, hasn’t it?” Yesung, who had been handing over an instrument to a nurse, widened his eyes in surprise at Dr. Jin’s unexpected kindness. “…Pardon? Is that really okay?” “Of course, Dr. Han. Please, take a day off and get some proper rest. I sent you to catch some sleep earlier, but judging by your face, you clearly didn’t rest at all.…

Two were professors, one was his fellow Dr. Seol, and the fourth was technically not official: Park Joohyuk, a chief resident. Even so, the workload far outweighed the manpower, leaving Yesung drowning in responsibilities. Despite everything, he kept going because he loved what he did. Yesung liked kids. They were pure, yet sometimes mischievously clever, throwing tantrums and refusing to listen. People often asked what he saw in them. But to him, children were easier to deal with than calculating…

“Sunbae! Ra Yoon, the 5-year-old who had surgery for a choledochal cyst three days ago, is having trouble breathing and seems completely drained of energy!” “What? Fever? Abdominal tenderness? Any vomiting?” “No, none of those.” “Alright, then let’s get a chest X-ray done immediately. I’ll head over there right away. Got it?” “Yes, sunbae!” Hanging up the call from Park Joohyuk, the pediatric surgery resident, Yesung quickly wrapped up what he was doing and rushed to…

“Code Blue. Code Blue. Main Building NICU. Code Blue.” Yesung sprinted as the mechanical voice of the hospital announcement system echoed. A Code Blue is one of the emergency codes used in hospitals to signal a cardiac arrest patient. All emergency codes in the hospital are important and urgent, but a Code Blue is the most critical. And of all places, a cardiac arrest occurred in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)? At the time of the announcement, Yesung had been making rounds in the…

Lee Siyeon, now somewhat sober thanks to her remarkable recovery speed, patted Yesuh’s back as she wept. It seemed her “drink fast, sober fast” mantra wasn’t an exaggeration. Yesung silently marveled at Siyeon’s detox abilities while sipping his beer to clear his mouth of its lingering bitterness. He could empathize with Yesuh’s frustration—pediatric patients’ families were often highly sensitive, and some took out their anger on doctors. Yesung himself frequently dealt with such…
