First day of the Lunar New Yr’s.

Dowook awakened after an evening of deep sleep and seemed on the clock. It was nonetheless 7 AM. He’d solely slept one hour greater than ordinary. He thought that habits actually had been scary, then he circled and fell asleep once more.

“Uugghh~”

Feeling like he’d slept sufficient, he stretched and opened his eyes to take a look at the time.

7:30 AM.

“Rattling.”

Individuals who normally had holidays had been the one ones who knew the way to take pleasure in it..

He was supposed to satisfy Lim So Yool round lunch so there was nonetheless loads of time.

When he opened the door and got here out, the sharehouse seemed empty. Both they had been on the hospital working or had gone residence for the vacations. So nobody else was off-duty in the home the place 10 medical doctors lived.

‘Is Chang Soo nonetheless on responsibility?’

He banged on the door subsequent to his however there was no response.

Dowook went all the way down to the kitchen on the primary flooring, poured some cereal right into a bowl and sat on the desk. He poured some milk into his bowl and seemed by his cellphone whereas scooping some cereal into his mouth.

He noticed a brand new textual content.

[Son. This father of yours isn’t feeling quite good this morning. Since you have three days of break, shouldn’t you be the one to come home?]

It was a message from his father, Park Mu Jin. Dowook typed a reply with one hand.

[I have too many ICU patients so I can’t leave Seoul. Once you come, I’ll give you an allowance that’s  ₩200,000 more than what I gave during Chuseok without letting Mom know.]

As he took yet one more scoop of cereal, a reply arrived straight away.

[Thanks!! See you tomorrow. Love you!]

Monetary remedy full.

As he scooped out a 3rd  spoon of cereal, his cellphone all of a sudden rang. It was Seong Chang Soo who was on responsibility on the emergency middle for 2 days in a row, now in preparation for a vacation.

“Yeah, why?”

-It was an excessive amount of of a hell final night time. Individuals ought to actually cease dragging their wholesome mother and father to the hospital to indicate their filial piety in the course of the holidays.

“If you happen to’re simply going to complain, I’m hanging up.”

-Let’s have breakfast collectively earlier than I’m going all the way down to Gwangju. A sizzling bowl of gukbap. [T/N: gukbap is bone soup with rice usually with different toppings like meat.]

Dowook turned to the cereal he was consuming habitually and positioned down his spoon.

“You pay.”

-Who’re you making an attempt to fleece? I paid so much to eliminate my money owed for the brand new yr.

“Did you? When are you getting off?”

-There’s numerous sufferers so it is going to most likely take yet one more hour.

“Let’s meet on the entrance then.”

Dowook stood up straight away. It was too wasteful to do the identical issues as ordinary when it was a vacation. He ought to at the very least do issues like this.

Turning into informal garments and placing on a jacket, Dowook went out of the home. He seemed on the empty roads and took out his cellphone on a sudden thought.

The statistics Lim So Yool despatched final night time.

[Passion: 13.2%]

[Romance: 9.4%]

[Spontaneity: 7.5%]

…

She mentioned she wished to strive one of many courting sorts chosen by a pattern group of 1,004 lovers surveyed by {a magazine}.

For her, who solely knew the literal that means of the phrases however was insensitive to how they really made her really feel, maybe this was a approach of making a brand new system.

Dowook had anticipated that issues could be unpredictable so whereas he seemed ahead to it, he was additionally apprehensive. As a result of the reply on the finish of this calculation was not essentially one which led to a everlasting system.

He determined to only deal with every little thing together with his sincere emotions so he seemed by the key phrases with a relaxed thoughts.

‘A passionate date, huh? This could be laborious for me too. I’ve by no means accomplished it earlier than. Romantic, spontaneous, recent, devoted, foolish? What sort of date is foolish?’

Dowook stood on the crossing and paused when he noticed an individual working swiftly on the alternative facet of the street.

A white scarf and an expensive-looking coat. It was a really acquainted again.

‘Director Lim?’

When he turned to look once more, he seen that it was actually Lim So Yool. She was working rapidly as if one thing was chasing after her.

When she had gone fairly removed from the hospital, two males in fits had been seen chasing after her with their eyes fastened within the course Lim So Yool had disappeared into.

“Huh?”

It seemed like she was being chased. As quickly because the lights modified, Dowook ran after them.

“Haa. Haa.”

Lim So Yool panted closely as she leaned towards a wall in an alley. She peeked out to the primary street to see if anybody was following and hid as soon as extra.

She didn’t assume that girl would come on the lookout for her on the hospital.

She didn’t have time to reply since she intentionally gave Secretary Okay a time without work since she was occurring a date with Dowook. She had no alternative however to expire.

Since that girl was all the time busy, so long as she might stay hidden for an hour, she would depart, however Lim So Yool didn’t let her guard down as she took out her cellphone.

She was going to contact her sister however her cellphone rang first. Seeing that the caller was Park Dowook, Lim So Yool answered with a shocked expression.

“Dr. Park?”

-I simply noticed you on the pedestrian lane a second in the past. The place are you going? You run quicker than I assumed you’ll. I can’t see you wherever.

With huge eyes, Lim So Yool requested in a comfortable voice.

“You noticed me?”

-The 2 males who appear to be on the lookout for you might be additionally close to me. Are they individuals you shouldn’t be assembly by any likelihood?

“They’re that girl’s private secretaries.”

She didn’t inform Dowook who that girl was, however she’d as soon as revealed that she hated her very a lot. That was most likely why she heard him say.

-The alleys across the hospital are extra difficult than it appears since it is a fairly previous neighborhood. If you happen to see an enormous Web cafe close by, there’s a laundromat near it. The alley proper subsequent to it’s one which even individuals who stay right here don’t know very nicely…

Dowook gave her instructions and knowledgeable her the place they may meet up. Lim So Yool listened rigorously as she walked.

A second later.

Lim So Yool stood in entrance of a closed grocery store and smiled brightly when she noticed Dowook come up from the opposite facet of the street. Dowook ran over whereas respiratory closely as he mentioned with a cheerful expression.

“I made positive the 2 males had been headed the other way earlier than coming right here.

“Thanks.”

“You managed to flee fairly nicely even with out me although.”

Taking a look at Dowook with a brilliant expression, Lim So Yool all of a sudden seemed unhappy.

“I’m sorry it began like this.”

“Begin what?”

“Our first date.”

“Oh.”

Dowook recalled one of many a number of key phrases from some time in the past.

“From the record yesterday, I assumed that seemed attention-grabbing.”

“Which one?”

“Foolish. Proper now we each appear that approach, don’t we?”

It was chosen by a mere 2.7% however he thought it will be good on a day like this for some motive.

“We could go someplace else? We now have to go up this hill if we wish to go to the downtown space.”

Dowook, who led the best way, spoke in a lightweight tone as he checked out Lim So Yool’s look.

“You had been nonetheless in a position to put on applicable garments. If I knew we’d meet this early, I’d have dressed up.”

“You mentioned this coat seemed good on me so I attempted it on.”

Her ordinary unpretentious phrases sounded totally different now that they’d agreed so far.

Dowook quietly walked beside her questioning whether or not she knew how flustered her phrases generally made him and in addition whether or not that was her actual intention.

“You look very stunning. Like that point.”

Lim So Yool smiled superbly and checked out Dowook’s arm. Then, she wrapped her arms round it.

Stunned by the sudden heat round his arm, Dowook checked out Lim So Yool. Trying up at him from a really shut distance, she mentioned.

“The journal mentioned that doing this might make you are feeling good..”

“So what do you assume?”

“I’m undecided. If I really feel good due to this or as a result of I such as you.”

A candy scent floated up from her. It appeared like she drank that tea when she awakened.

As soon as once more, her phrases made his coronary heart beat quicker. Dowook had bother assembly her frank gaze. How was she so good at making his coronary heart skip a beat?

Perhaps the one who was new to courting was him and never her.

A path, they walked in no matter course they felt like going.

Dowook checked out Lim So Yool with critical eyes and requested one thing that he deliberately tried to not ask about earlier than.

“About that girl the director doesn’t like.”

He felt a tremor from her hand which was wrapped round his left arm.

“Is she somebody who will proceed to make issues troublesome for the director?”

“So long as I’m in Korea, most likely.”

Seeing as how Lim So Yool all the time drew a pointy line in her interactions with different hospital personnel, there was a big chance that it was a really shut acquaintance. For instance, her mom.

There was no wound deeper than one created by the household.

Dowook didn’t ask any extra and mentioned.

“Simply in case, I’ll let you know some good locations to cover within the hospital. There are just a few locations I hid in once I was an intern.”

“That place is good, and simply staying beside the physician like that is additionally good.”

Dowook requested her as his coronary heart skipped a beat.

“Is that this actually the primary time you might be courting?”

“What?”

“It’s nothing.”

Myeong Sae Hospital’s parking zone.

Sitting in an opulent sedan, a lady carrying sun shades lowered the doc she was studying and put it to the facet when her cellphone rang.

“Sure, Secretary Woo.”

-We did discover your daughter however she is in a restaurant with a person.

“A person?”

Ring.

A photograph taken from afar. It was a bit blurry because it was taken with a cellphone however one might inform that the 2 within the photograph had been having a enjoyable dialog.

As a result of it was an sudden expression from Lim So Yool, who all the time put up a wall towards others, she zoomed in on the person’s face. It was laborious to test for positive with the photograph.

-What ought to we do? Ought to I relay the director basic’s want to meet?

“No. I’ve to go to the Ministry of Overseas Affairs quickly. Let’s finish issues right here at this time.”

-Understood. We’ll withdraw now.

A nametag with ‘Website positioning Jung-Hee, Director of the Asia-Pacific Bureau of Overseas Affairs’ inscribed on it was hanging from her neck.

“Mr. Yoon, begin the automotive.”

At her command, the driving force began the automotive.

After considering for a second, Website positioning Jung-Hee picked up her cellphone and referred to as her eldest daughter. After a second, it related with an abroad community.

Click on.

-Huh? A greeting within the New Yr’s? This doesn’t appear to be one thing you’ll do, Mother.

On the opposite finish of the cellphone, Lim So-Hee remained silent.

“Are you continue to in America?”

-I instructed you to cease bothering her.

“I simply got here to see her face for a second.”

– she would run the second she sees you, Mother.

“She already ran.”

-It’s not such as you’d all of a sudden wish to act like a father or mother. If you happen to’re making an attempt to utilize So Yool’s skills, the chairman of ZQ received’t stay nonetheless.

A dry impassive smile appeared underneath the sun shades.

“I want her experience in different areas, not within the firm. One thing very a lot a matter of public curiosity. Would you ask her for me later?”

-No. It’s not like she listens to me.

“Then, does she take heed to that man she’s with?”

She requested in curiosity and a response got here straight away.

-When did you go over there? Please depart So Yool alone. You’re the one who threw her away again then.

“Individuals will misunderstand in the event that they hear you say that.”

-I’m hanging up. I’m on the airport.

“Simply inform me one factor. That man, what does he do for a dwelling?”

-You couldn’t afford to level a finger at an underling to seek out out?

“Let’s simply say it’s parental curiosity.”

She thought her daughter would merely grasp up when she heard a sigh however a reply got here from the opposite finish.

-Dr. Park Dowook from Myeong Sae Hospital. He’s fairly well-known so that you most likely don’t want to research. It could most likely not be simple to the touch him out of your place. He’s somebody Semdeok fell for in any case. Completely satisfied New Yr and don’t contact me about So Yool once more.

Click on.

Placing the cellphone down, Website positioning Jung Hee tilted her head.

Park Dowook.

About to go looking the title on the Web whereas questioning the place she’d heard his title, her gaze fell on the paperwork she’d put apart a second in the past.

“Oh.”

Grabbing the paperwork and turning just a few pages, she realized that her guess was right.

The morning he returned to work after a protracted vacation.

Perhaps as a result of spring was nearly right here but it surely felt so much hotter when Dowook entered the hospital.

The three days of relaxation actually glided by instantly.

A date with Lim So Yool whereby they didn’t do a lot but time flew by. The subsequent day, he visited town together with his mother and father who got here to Seoul after a very long time. On the final day, his family members who lived in Seoul and Incheon got here to the sharehouse to see his mother and father so he’d needed to run errands for them as they drank all night time.

‘It looks as if I’m extra drained than relaxed.’

As ordinary, he bought off the elevator and stood within the corridor of the fifth flooring. Then, he noticed Chief Ha Sang Joong whose eyes lit up when he noticed Dowook.

Ha Sang Joong pointed at Dowook, who instinctively paused and took a step again.

“Park Dowook!”
