As a token of his gratitude, Jinhyun served Amy food and wine at a fine restaurant.
Surprisingly, she lived in the same building as him.
That's also in the penthouse at the top.
She said when she was confused as to whether it was a coincidence or deliberate capture of the same building.
“I deliberately grabbed him in the same building as me. Try to flirt. Be careful at night. ”
“ ……. ”
Then she shed a little laughter and disappeared. I always do, but I can't tell if I'm joking or serious.
You're going to the hospital from tomorrow. ’
I lay in bed and asked for sleep, but I couldn't sleep.
With a cell phone message, Hye-mi's texts arrived.
[Jinhyun, how did you get here? Be careful not to worry. I love you.]
Jinhyun smiled.
He texted, too.
[Yeah, I love you, too.]
[I miss you.]
A short but thoughtful message.
Comedy's face came to mind. He also wanted to see her.
[Yeah, me too. I miss you. I love you.]

The next day, Jinhyun went to St. Joseph's Hospital for the first time.
‘This is St. Joseph..... ’
The size of the hospital building itself was not significantly different from that of the one-on-one hospital. Rather, the appearance made me feel older than a one-on-one hospital.
But it was history and tradition rather than obsolescence, and the actual inner rooms were difficult to compare with the large hospitals.
The first schedule was an interview with the hospital chief.
Jinhyun waited in the waiting room, trimming his clothes.
“Dr. Kim? Would you like to come inside?”
A middle-aged secretary guided him.
The hospital sits in a spacious room overlooking Central Park, Manhattan's only oasis.
“Welcome, Dr. Kim. Welcome to St. Joseph. ”
Hospital leader, James, is a middle-aged white man with a strong sense of humor. It also seems to have a face that resembles Amy's.
Upon standing up, he smiled brightly and welcomed Jinhyun.
“I wondered what kind of monster in the East had written four papers in three of the world's greatest journals in a year, and you were a handsome boy? ”
“Thank you.”
James smiled and asked.
“But you're over twenty, aren't you? Oriental youth all look younger. ”
“It's over twenty-eight... No, it's twenty-seven American. ”
“Twenty-seven? I don't see it at all..... ”
Jinhyun had a hard time.
Originally, the Orientals seem much younger than the whites, with progress, among others, particularly during the 19th century.
Of course, in Korea, no one disregards him in appearance because of his progressive attitude and deep eyes over the years, but in the United States he should know.
“Sit down. It's so good to see you. ”
I sat on a leather couch with a wooden table in between, and my assistant brought me something to drink.
It was black water and bean coffee that Jinhyun hated.
“You're new to New York, aren't you? ”
“Yes.”
After such a light talk, James, the hospital chief, talked about the contract.
“Personally, I was really happy that Dr. Kim accepted our scout proposal. Dr. Kim was desperate to come to St. Joseph's. ”
Jin Hyeon was a little skeptical about it.
Though he did a great job unintentionally, St. Joseph is one of the best hospitals in the world.
There was so much to know with such a name.
There were also many of the best prices in the world for writing and compiling medical textbooks circulating around the world in each field.
Why would St. Joseph desperately want that for himself?
James smiled softly, noticing Jinhyun's question.
“Because of the genius you showed me when you solved the project with Haines. ”
“ ……! ”
“It's not just about writing multiple articles in a good journal. Of course, the paper's performance is flattering, but more importantly, it's Dr. Kim's Crazy talent. ”
James drank a sip of coffee.
“Jones Hopkins, Mayo, MD Emerson and others don't know Kim's ability to do this. So I didn't propose scouts. I didn't even think about it when I first saw Dr. Kim's name on Haines' project papers. I thought Haynes would take care of most of it and help me with some of it. Of course, that's great. ”
Joint papers with multinational pharmaceutical companies usually do.
Most pharmaceutical companies come up with ideas and design studies, but doctors often don't have a big role.
Nevertheless, putting the name of the famous price on the first author or correspondent is to borrow the name value.
“I was surprised to hear from Amy. The whole point of those projects was Dr. Kim's idea, and Dr. Kim designed the study design. ”
That's right.
He was only a resident because he did such important things that he was able to name his thesis as a single author or co-author.
“It was unbelievable. I can't believe our famous St. Joseph professors are doing such a hard job in the East. That's four in a year! ”
James was excited and made an exaggerated gesture.
“And I wondered, Even in a resident environment in South Korea that is known for being poor, what would you do if you were in a good position? I was so nervous because I thought about it. You can't go to a place like Johns Hopkins or Mayo or MD Emerson. ”
It was only then that I could see why St. Joseph was trying to scout himself with great benefits.
"Scout in good condition, in case you want to pick it up at the best hospital in the world. I appreciate it, but it's a burden. ’
But that was only Jinhyun's humble thought.
Because what Jinhyun did with Haines was a miracle, Miracle.
James, who was praising Hanchang Jinhyun, handed out the documents.
“What is this? ”
“This is our contract with St. Joseph and Dr. Kim. You've been through Amy, haven't you? ”
Jinhyun nodded.
‘I had a hard time reviewing it. ’
It is also difficult to review contracts in Korean.
English-language contracts with all kinds of legal terminology were thoroughly studied by international lawyers, as it was difficult for US citizens to interpret the exact meaning of contracts.
“Well, you've seen it all, but there's one point. It's a temporary job, and I'm going to decide to hire a full-time professor with a year of practice and academic performance. The promised $400,000 annual salary will fluctuate based on performance. ”
“Yes, I know. ”
“Then please do your best in the future. I personally look forward to Dr. Kim's performance. Please be nice. ”
Jinhyun nodded.
But I didn't miss the words of the hospital chief.
He was not a fool to dream of a blurred rosy future.
‘I'm going to have to build a huge performance for a year. ’
A young man with nothing to see in the East receives a large salary in addition to a formal teaching appointment at one of the best hospitals in the world after early completion of residency?
In order to benefit from such nonsense, he had to prove his skills and performance.
But it didn't matter.
‘I won't stop until I get here. ’
I will do my best.
So I will be the best and go back to Korea.
* * *
“I'm going to work for General Surgeon, so say hello to the Chairman. The Chairman of General Surgeon is the same Oriental, so you'll do well. ”
The Chairman of General Surgeon, the Chief of Surgery, was an Oriental Korean who also knew Jinhyun.
The number of stops.
After graduating from Korea, Jinhyun's mother tongue, he was scouted for outstanding research performance as a professor of Korean language and came to St. Joseph ( ).
An Oriental man who became chief of surgery at St. Joseph's without even a U.S. citizen showed how brilliant he was.
“Very well. I'll work hard. ”
James smiled at the courtesy of a Korean.
“Yes, thank you. ”
But when Jinhyun left, James' smile disappeared.
“Phew……. ”
He asked the secretary with a tired face.
“Michelle, can I have a cigarette? ”
“This is the entire smoke-free area of the hospital. If you're going to pay the fine, you can smoke. ”
James, the hospital chief, grumbled at the inflexible words.
“No, who set such useless rules? All you have to do is close your eyes to Michelle. ”
“The rain on my mouth would be more expensive than the fine. ”
Oh, shit.
You're a knowledgeable lady. Maybe next time I'll change it to a sexy secretary.
Of course, as a joke, Michelle's work was so brilliant that she could not replace anyone else.
James opens the paperwork and Michelle asks.
“Can I leave it that way? ”
“What?”
“Dr. Kim from Korea. ”
James didn't answer.
“If you don't pay attention, you will definitely have a problem with adaptation. ”
Although not distinctly divided, American physician societies also had a hierarchy.
Surgery, in particular, was number one on floating salaries and the top priority among American doctors.
St. Joseph's Surgery does not receive a U.S. citizen, among others, unless he or she is white when selecting a resident in the first place.
There is no way to be welcomed because the Eastern youth has fallen in such a place with enormous benefits.
But James shook his head.
“I'm worried about that, too. That's something Dr. Kim has to overcome on his own. ”
Then he thought,
‘If we don't get over it, we can't help it. ’
If Kim Jin-hyun is who he thinks he is, he will overcome it on his own.
What if Jinhyun doesn't meet his expectations for a year?
‘Then we should kick him out. ’
James' eyes sank.
Everything in the future is in the hands of Jinhyun.
‘Miracle Kim.... ’
His niece Amy often wrote the title "Miracle Kim" when she called Dr. Kim.
If you look at whether the young Eastern man really is a Miracle Kim or an Azalea.
At that time, Jinhyun was meeting with the chief surgeon of St. Joseph's.
The sharp impression was that he was a weary surgeon.
It looked roughly the same as Steel Ming or Director Lee Jong-myung.
‘All three are from Korea, but they're not motives, are they? ’
I feel bad when I think of Director Lee Jong-myung. I quickly cleared my mind and greeted him in Korean.
“I'm Jin-hyun Kim. I'll work hard. ”
However, he replied with a blunt face.
“This is not Korea. Speak in English.”
“ ……! ”
It was an answer that the pleasure of meeting a trendy person disappeared at once.
“In Korea, it was a liver part? ”
“Yes.”
“Yes, work hard. ”
I meant to go out.
After a short greeting, he left the chief's office.
"What the hell."
I did not expect any special consideration, but it is a calmness beyond my imagination.
‘Well, it doesn't matter. ’
Jinhyun shook his head and headed toward the surgeon's office.
Meanwhile, after Jinhyeon left, Chief of Surgery Choi murmured at the computer monitor with an uneasy face.
“Jin-hyun Kim..... ”
