Lim So-hee, who lowered her mobile phone, sighed at her youthful sister’s refusal and stood up on the rostrum.

“The bitter Americano…… No, I would like a candy sizzling chocolate, please.”
Lim So-hee, who was in search of a spot to take a seat with sizzling chocolate in a mug, sighed once more when she noticed the tables full of shoppers.
“Ought to I’ve gotten a take-out?”
Then, her eyes stayed at a desk the place nobody was approaching. At first look, a person with a noticeably blunt impression was sitting there, which was arduous to disregard.

[Does it make sense to have an anesthesiologist assigned to a professor’s team? Neurosurgery is already in the red. What are you going to do?]
“I do know. Choi Hoo is loopy about good surgical procedure, so if I do not do it, he will not hear. What can I do?”
Ha Sang Joong sighed and regarded out the window.

“Director.”
“Oh, I am right here.”
Lim So Yool’s expression regarded slightly darkish, so Dowook sat subsequent to her and requested.
“Did one thing dangerous occur?”
“Simply… I remembered the Christmas I spent with my school buddies in Seville.”
“Did you all research math underneath the tree? Or… It is not like that, proper?”
If it had been normal, she would have glared at this query, however this time she smiled blandly. There appeared to be a purpose for not revealing one thing, however Dowook didn’t ask anymore.

Her eyes turned spherical.
“Lies. Actually?”
“You do not have to take a look at it with such unhappy eyes as a result of I’m residing with out a lot discomfort.”

“It is in all probability due to the costly sweet.”
Lim So Yool glared at Dowook. Dowook smiled calmly and revealed why he got here up right here.

Sync: ‘Choose/Judgment Shim’s’ hand acupuncture
Motion: At this second, medical reasoning that’s most fitted for the affected person’s illness might be carried out. The power to prescribe medication precisely is a bonus.
A/N: A little bit of a enjoyable truth about this novel that I wished to share is the creator has a barely bizarre naming sense. For instance, Choi Hoo actually means “The Finish/Final” and might be a part of the explanation behind his nickname as ‘Final Choi.’ Ji Hwi-gwan additionally actually means commander, therefore his nickname ‘Commander Ji/G.’ Shim Pan in Korean actually means judgment/referee, once more the explanation for his nickname. It’s humorous though it makes me because the translator second guess myself with regards to new names.
