36 36. Surgeon (2)

I think it's the flu. The cold's getting worse.

High fever lasted more than 39 degrees and my body trembled in cold clothing.

“Jinhyun, are you really okay? ”

“I... I'm fine. ”

“It's okay, but what's okay? I can't. I'll tell you. Go home and rest. No, this isn't going home, it's supposed to be hospitalized. ”

“What a house... It's really okay. ”

If I lose consciousness and collapse, I can't believe I just got out of the hospital with a cold.

This can never happen.

“Hah, what's wrong with you? I'm upset.”

He had a upset face, as if he was sick.

Jinhyun fell down on his desk.

“Don't worry, it's okay. I'll sleep a little.”

“Yeah, sleep tight. I'll tell him I can't get into the O.R. ”

Obviously, the O.R. is still in shape.

Hye-mi went out to talk to the chief, and Jinhyun remained alone in the classroom.

I fell down and couldn't sleep. My head hurt like a hammer. It was the worst.

‘But it's good not to go into the O.R. ’

He sighs.

Yeah, it might hurt better than going into the O.R.

Strangely enough, he didn't want to go into the O.R.

I think I'm sick and tired of my past life experience, but I was too reluctant to do that.

‘I don't know. It's good not to go in. If you become a dermatologist, you won't have anything to do for the rest of your life. ’

* * *

It was almost ten days ago, but there was no difference.

It was strange to think that a cold usually heals in 5-7 days.

It's not a pneumonia-like infection, is it? ’

Jinhyun looked at his body.

High fever, sleepy, headache, generalized muscle pain, abdominal pain, but no other disease was suspected.

‘Ha... It's not a fever, it's hard. ’

I didn't leave the hospital, but there was nothing I could do but stand still like a corpse.

Thanks to misfortune or good fortune, the O.R. continued to be avoided.

“Jin-hyun Kim, are you really okay? It's strange.... ”

One of the same tributes said.

Other cheers also nodded.

“Yes. It's been a long time since I've recovered... but I don't have a car. ”

“... it's okay. ”

Jin-hyun replied with a red face with a high fever.

Another member worries about changing into a surgical suit.

“By the way, what do you do when Jin-hyun can't keep going into the O.R.? You should go to the O.R. and learn a little bit. ”

“So, surgery is an important area of medicine, and you're going to have to go in and learn. The actual surgery was different from what I studied in my book. ”

“Yeah, I think a man is more of a surgeon than I am. ”

The cheerleaders were somewhat excited and buzzed. Jin Hyeon smiled at the look.

"You first entered the O.R. ’

He did the same when he was a student.

"If you go into the O.R., you can do the surgery yourself, not just watch. ’

Students act as Second or Third Assistants on behalf of interns in the surgical field.

Of course, secondary school students can only play a simple role, but that was enough to stimulate their breasts.

‘Well, all at once. ’

“I'm not going to surgery anyway, so you don't have to go into the O.R. ”

The cheerleaders nodded.

“Yes, I do. Kim Jin-hyun, you may not be comfortable with the surgery. If you go into the O.R. and make a mistake, you're so upset. Just rest here. ”

“That's right, because studying and surgery are completely different. Assistant has a knack for doing well. ”

Jinhyun nods with a smile.

“Yes, you're right. ”

And after the kids left for the O.R., Jinhyun got up. I was stunned.

“For painkillers……. ”

He headed to an employee pharmacy located in the basement of the hospital to get analgesics.

“What can I get you? ”

“Painkillers... as many as you can. ”

And I was on my way back with painkillers. Jinhyun met a strange person.

“Uh, Student Jin-hyun Kim? ”

A young professor with a pleasant appearance. Lee Byung-soo called Jin-hyun.

Jinhyun lowered his head.

“Hello."

“Yes, it's good to see you. How are you?”

Hye Mi's brother, he was friendly with Jin Hyun.

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

“I don't think you're doing very well with half your face. Why don't you go inside and have a cup of coffee? I'll buy it for you.”

I wanted to go back quickly, as if my head were tapping with a hammer because I was having a conversation, but I can't say no to the professor.

“Yes, thank you. ”

“Yeah, let's go in there. ”

They entered Starbucks within the hospital.

Staff were kind enough to hit them.

“Do you want to order?”

“I'm Caramel Macchiato. What about Jin-hyun? She seems unwell, but she drinks warm. ”

Jinhyun made anything warm.

It wasn't much of a café, so I did what I asked.

When they sat down for coffee, they shared a blanket.

Professor Lee said.

“I am very grateful to Kim Jin-hyun students from before. ”

“Yes? Why? ”

“You're always taking good care of our comedy. ”

“Ah……. ”

Professor Lee smiled softly.

“Hye-mi often talks about Jinhyun students. Thank you for taking a good look. ”

“No.”

Jinhyun shook his head.

It's right to be close, but there is a fisheye that says you take good care of it.

Recently, Jin Hye-Hyun didn't give anything to Hye-mi, but Hye-mi took care of the sick Jin Hye-mi.

I barely stopped trying to come home and nursing.

“What do you think of our Hye-mi Jinhyun? ”

Professor Lee asked in a discreet voice.

Blunt Jinhyun did not notice the meaning of his words.

“I think he's a good friend. ”

“Is that so? A good friend.... ”

For some reason, Jinhyun looked suspicious.

Professor Lee looked at the watch.

“I like it anyway. Can I ask Jinhyun for a favor? ”

“Yes.”

“Stay with our comedy. ”

Jinhyun glanced at the request. Why are you asking me to do this?

“Yes, Hye-mi and I will be fine in the future. ”

“Thank you very much. He doesn't have any tea out there, so he's a lot poorer than he looks. ”

Professor Lee, who left an unknown message, stood up.

“Then I have a meeting. I'll go first. Coffee is still left, so get up slowly. ”

The rest of Jinhyun in the solo cafe looked at the smoking coffee.

‘Professor Lee..... ’

Hye-mi also told Jinhyun about Professor Lee.

You said you were the only one who saw him as a real family, right? ’

I don't know exactly what her housekeeper was like, but I don't think she would have been offended if she had just seen an abnormal person.

I was filled with words from Lee Byung-soo and a word from Hye-mi.

Nice looks, competent skills, friendly personality... He's just a big brother in cartoons.

It was perfect except to treat Jinhyun's friend, Yi Min.

Jinhyun also stood up with coffee.

I couldn't stay in a noisy cafe with so much headache.

But it was his moment to leave the cafe.

Surgical chief Nam Ki-taek came into the cafe and faced Jinhyun.

“You...? Kim Jin-hyun?”

After seeing Jinhyun, Nam Ki-ek's face was twisted.

I said, "You're sick. You're hanging out at a cafe? ”

“ ……! ”

Jinhyun realized that he bought Nam Ki-ek's misunderstanding.

Certainly now is not the time for students to come to the cafe alone at a time when student practice is in the middle of nowhere.

“Hey, now you're not sick, you're cheating. Do you think you're the only one studying? It's more important than studying, you bastard. ”

The chief's choice to leave the O.R. was not worth it because he had never entered the O.R. before.

I told you it hurts, but the guy who said it hurts enough not to come into the O.R. came to the cafe alone?

Jinhyun felt the need to solve the misunderstanding.

“Sir, I'm not alone at the cafe. ”

“So what?”

“I'm here with Professor Lee Byung-hyung of Internal Medicine. ”

Nam Ki-Taek frowned at the eyes full of dark circles.

“With Professor Lee? I don't have one.”

“You just left. ”

“Why are you here with Professor Lee? Do you have anything in common? ”

“He just asked me to talk about it personally……. ”

Nam Ki-tae burst into laughter.

“Look at this guy? Do you think I'm supposed to be laughing? Why is Professor Lee so busy having a personal conversation with you? Don't you think he's your friend? Where do you lie?! ”

Jinhyun kept his mouth shut.

Already tightly twisted, Nam Ki-ek did not try to listen to Jin-hyun at all.

Nam Ki-ek was a painter.

“You're on emergency duty for the next week. The morning emergency surgery is all yours now! ”

Emergency call.

Standby at night means on call for emergency surgery.

* * *

Late at night, Jinhyun sighed after not being able to work and remaining in the hospital.

‘You've bought a lot of misunderstanding. ’

I guess I didn't go into the O.R. all the time, and I bought a lot of hatred back there.

He lay in a lineup in the dressing room on the other side of the operating room.

Even the student was on call, so he had to be in the hospital, but there was no place to get sick.

Fortunately, it was a late night, so I was alone in the dressing room.

"Familiar air. ’

The smell of McCain mixed with cigarettes in the O.R. reminded me of my previous life.

‘I've had a lot of cigarettes here. ’

In principle, the whole hospital is smoke-free, but how do you get out in less than five minutes during a busy operation?

Everyone smoked in the bathroom in the dressing room.

Of course, it will become more difficult later as smoking cessation policies are strengthened at the government level.

"I hope there's no surgery. It's hard to have no surgery at night, isn't it? ’

It was an overwhelming wind.

Korea's major hospitals also have countless emergency surgeries at night.

But thanks to Jinhyun's wind, there was no emergency surgery until after 12: 00 p.m.

It was unusual, but when it was 1: 00 in the morning, the luck was over.

Tyrie.

The cell phone rang. I was the chief surgeon.

Kim Jin-hyun? Are you in the hospital?

“Yes, it's near the O.R. ”

Yeah, acute cholecystitis. We'll start surgery soon. Come to room seven.

“Yes, I understand. ”

Jinhyun, who hung up, changed into an operating suit.

As he wore a cool blue surgical suit on his body, he felt unspeakable emotions.

It was the first time after the regression.

He had to wash his face to cool off his high fever. Then I opened the dressing room door and went into the O.R.

Head muscles.

I heard a loud noise. That... was the sound of my heart, wanting to turn away.

Head muscles.

My chest trembled when I saw a surgical field corridor that was as sharp as a city made of machines.

Yes, really... It's been a long time.

In this cold space, where no emotion could come in, he spent a lot of time. There were countless fights in it.

I knew the truth.

The reason I didn't want to come to the O.R. was because of this.

With this trembling heart, I have a pounding heart.

I didn't want to feel it right away.

I didn't want to recall the memories of my previous life that were intense and frightening.
