When the b96eb21c94 surgeon and a65af92133 Beom-woo arrived 196f8aa718 at the 9d6475d29f MICU and 10fb94e031 took action, 83af1301cd fortunately, the d803361f5c patient’s heart 357b3565c5 started beating cd5112b8a3 strongly again.d61d01e6bbe55d0e

The patient’s heart had started beating again, but an emergency meeting was called. The attending surgeon, Beom-woo, a thoracic surgeon, and a cardiologist gathered. Although the immediate crisis had been overcome, the situation was still far from stable. They couldn’t reopen the chest and examine the heart again, and the faces of the three people were grim as they faced the difficult challenge ahead.729916c82e6995fc

The attending surgeon nodded in agreement with Beom-woo’s decision. After finishing the tense meeting and checking the patient’s condition once more, Beom-woo left the ICU, and it was already well past 9 PM.7dd85f54a72cb080
As Beom-woo made his e1897e687b way to the research 5197b993a3 lab with heavy steps, 061143c974 the youngest resident followed 0bfb1b9683 him. In his hand, 9b5174cfa5 he was holding a30c480cf7 another colorful gift 37a45ff1e0 box.3b1501251ba75fde

A loud, frog-like laugh echoed from behind. Seong-heon was approaching, giggling. Beom-woo’s forehead slightly furrowed; he didn’t want to throw out any more bait.cb778db2f09dc400
”Pyramidion?”bed3eb00c57adafb

The youngest resident looked back and forth between Beom-woo and Seong-heon with a confused expression. Beom-woo pretended not to notice the curiosity in their eyes. “Pyramidion” referred to the top of a pyramid. Even though Seong-heon knew that Beom-woo found the term uncomfortable, he didn’t seem to care.6ccda2c20c1f5775
Beom-woo couldn’t bring himself to say anything to Seong-heon in front of the youngest, so he gritted his teeth. As a result, his already cold expression became even more chilling.1fd3faa082b0f905

“Uh, Mr. Shin Seong-heon.”12b83dd7ae24b6f6
Beom-woo greeted Seong-heon c347da4bcd as calmly as dbc5b9bc61 possible with a b9295d0bb4 logical response. Seong-heon, holding a 107cbe89ae blue mug with 54c58aa7d5 silver lettering, grinned da5cc2df53 playfully.7ea15c977bf51bfa

“Hey, rookie. Our professor is begging for a gift. An unexpected Christmas present is something that can excite even adults,” Seong-heon said with a mischievous grin.d9a32ef59b40867c
Seong-heon raised his eyebrows, fcb9c15dc8 sipping something from the d00ce75858 mug with a mischievous 64b22531d7 grin. The rookie, 69962013a2 unsure whether ed120e1e37 Seong-heon was f6ad70ae3c serious, glanced 4559d46a91 at him d5dfbb5148 with rolling 25cf4e48d6 eyes, then 0edd11e0d3 awkwardly smiled 81178bf918 and handed 228eb418b7 the colorful 7308685b49 gift box 393f2da08c to Beom-woo. Trying to remain calm, 04545f6d60 however, Beom-woo, snatched the ff4d804deb gift box sharply, unintentionally 1bbe3d3ae8 annoyed by Seong-heon’s teasing.94c178bed02b52cc

Seong-heon, who ecdc06e431 was grinning, 62c3efd05b somehow seemed 7c10d59ef2 suspicious. Beom-woo narrowed his bb3d19d19b eyes and glared 4e7fd2a90a at Seong-heon as 7e272606cd he walked toward d6963e95b5 the lab.4d20722d0797f644
As Beom-woo walked ahead, 1e5214667f Seong-heon followed, casting a 4c4f05ded4 curious glance at the aeb1bf02a2 gift box and asking.12395775fd70adfd

Ignoring Seong-heon’s 330d4e36dc question, Beom-woo 203e70ba8b quickly entered de0e2ab264 the lab 6fd382c61f and lingered c3caf0c17c in front fc5ae31948 of the 2acdecaa99 desk.

Sitting on the edge 7156426699 of the chair, Beom-woo 57907e5fa4 interlaced his fingers and b490a86569 placed them under his 1400a39edf chin. It felt a6fd6f84d8 awkward to e1daef9dcb open the 333883f88c gift as 5834bcdb0d if he 233018519b had been fdc4c039dd waiting for 001e9113e3 it, even 5d894edd50 though no bd28beb159 one was 8f7270faa8 watching. When the junior d0fb3a948b had mentioned earlier a85a466d4d that the gift d64532808f was from someone c3b77c7c02 named Lee Yoo-eun, e5a582ab39 Beom-woo felt he bb2de2f32f had been too 045c937c06 happy about it, d697dc346e which made him d8699da2d9 feel uneasy.35095a2770e439e3

When Beom-woo was young, he would receive a Christmas gift from his mother every year. However, the expression on his mother’s face when handing over the gift was always somber. Just like Beom-woo, who prayed and was disappointed for his father’s return every year, it seemed his mother was also enduring a lonely Christmas, struggling with the absence of his father.30b53ed7ef24aa78
So, young 53068f82f5 Beom-woo would bbfdfdd5c8 only thank fc75dd76fc her politely 6713bf9cad without making 41575d7486 a fuss, 96d3f7488c not showing 3b744ed84e the excitement c2fd3957b1 or joy 8167d4ed71 that usually 23cd6c84ad comes with 5e2344e4f2 receiving a 6c6399252a gift.252b9ea737a1a187

But before 5ae63700dc even opening 8e9ccb722c the gift, e0ba3c8276 he felt c0a44775d9 strangely nervous ae4390961c and uneasy. What could 5fca6c2e62 this small 3abf43c426 box mean, 937f685a17 that it 286eb84122 made him cc204371e0 feel this efb6bbf2fa way? What was Lee 897288a5e0 Yoo-eun thinking?8859580d56ec2228
For a moment, Beom-woo stared at the box, then took a deep breath and began unwrapping it, trying to act as if it didn’t matter. He untied the wine-colored ribbon, which gave off a classic Christmas vibe, and peeled away the dark green wrapping paper. The first thing that caught his eye was a small message card.47ef4aa987310eb7

The message 351ff599d5 was surprisingly 240584523b simple. It left him 930ab1bfff puzzled, and he c867175451 furrowed his brow 75826aeb64 slightly. He had expected 6657e5e94a something like an 5b95d5fa6e apology for not 32ad2b20d2 recognizing him or cc0f35ab0c some similar pleasantries, 65f452b529 but no such c7e24d9b47 words appeared on 8744777fec the card, no 3e37562d7f matter how much efee3a65dc he turned it 9e550b7f9d around.2bfe8b318b75ed26
Beom-woo, feeling rather perplexed, 7a1478ccbd opened the white box. As he removed 3a7566c062 the paper packing 6f5954278d material, a mug 05b7027ea5 came into view.e894f2c574adb19e
