CH 2

Eunjae blinked as if the accident had stopped for a moment and looked at the man.

“Grace is… … I will definitely pay you back.”

“Are you going to do anything for me?”

The lips of the man trapped in his hand twitched and tickled.

In this serious situation, what’s so good about men. Eunjae looked disapprovingly at the man who kept babbling.

“The talk is-”

As the murmur drew closer, Eunjae, who had been talking, looked back. The situation became more tense than before.

Being very afraid that her voice might be leaking out, Eun-jae whispered behind her back.

“Can’t we do it a little later?”

whether you know it or not

The man slowly removed Eunjae’s hand that was blocking his mouth.

In an instant, the man and the location changed. The man standing with his back to the door looked down at Eun-jae and asked.

“Choose now. Help me?”

“…….”

The eyes of the man close to him shone with interest. Just like someone who wants something from me.

why and what to me

there’s nothing i can do for you

“Answer me.”

Without even time to think, the man’s question continued. Moneylenders might come soon.

Eunjae swallowed dry saliva and answered.

“yes… … Also, help me.”

Eun-jae, thinking that getting out of this crisis is the priority, nodded quickly and asked the man for help.

The man’s lips twitched as if he was satisfied with the answer.

Between the tightly pressed hat, Eun-jae’s dark, dark eyes that resembled hair were shining. There were tears in those eyes that looked like they were about to spill out at any moment.

The man’s hand slowly laid over Eunjae’s eyes. The man said, wiping away the tears that were forming in pity with his thumb.

“Okay, trust me.”

The man’s eyes softened and curved. Eunjae looked at him and nodded.

Soon after, they heard a loud noise as they entered.

As the signs of checking the door one by one slowly began to approach, Eun-jae’s hand trembled again.

“under… … Where the hell did you disappear to?”

After a voice filled with despondency, a gruff and muddy voice followed.

The man with that voice stopped in front of the only locked door.

“Are you sure you got in here?”

A black shadow crept over the man’s toes.

“I’m sure, I saw it clearly.”

“Then you will be here.”

A confident man’s thick hand knocked on the bathroom door.

“When you say good things, let’s open the door.”

Even though it was a relatively polite gesture, Eunjae’s hand shook uneasy.

“Ji Eun-jae, are you in it?”

The man looked down at Eunjae’s hand, which was trembling like an aspen tree, and squeezed her white hand tightly.

“Because you believe me.”

The man’s lips on his shoulder whispered that it was okay. My heart was strangely relieved to see the man slowly moving away and winking at me as if to be relieved.

smart. When the door was knocked on again, the man’s head headed towards Eun-jae returned to the closed door. A rough male voice came through.

“Eunjae, you just need to pay the money back? Why do you keep running and making things difficult, annoying.”

There was a lot of sharpness in the kind handing tone.

Seonwoo let out a breath that might have been relieved by their words.

What should I do if this woman is a criminal, and if so, what will happen then?

There was no certainty in the impulsive action that he had done for the first time in his life, and it was a moment when he was doubtful inside, but it became a pretty clear answer to Sunwoo.

Seonwoo, who laughed silently with the corner of his mouth raised, uttered a low voice.

“It is very noisy, it interferes with work.”

“what. Brother, are you a man?”

At Seonwoo’s words, which appeared to be bothersome, the man standing in front of the door said as if he was embarrassed. Then, a shadow standing far away strode towards the door and asked.

“Is there a woman in it?”

“Did you not hear? It’s because I’m doing business.”

Raising his voice, Seonwoo grabbed Eunjae by the shoulders and pushed him slowly toward the corner wall.

Perhaps because of the height difference of more than 20 cm, Eun-jae, who felt that he was even bigger, looked up at the man and swallowed dryly.

“Okay, so open this door for now.”

“Wait, then. It’s all about me—until I see it.”

“Ha, this bastard.”

bang! In the end, their kicking, unable to overcome their anger, began. The powerless door slammed under its force.

“Are you not opening the door?”

Bang again!

“Do you want to die, do you?”

Seonwoo slowly lowered his lips to Eunjae’s ear, who was trembling in fear.

“Nothing will happen.”

“…….”

“Never come out, stay here.”

He whispered low enough for only Eunjae to hear, and she nodded, looking as if she would burst into tears at any moment.

Without hesitation, Sunwoo took his cell phone out of his pocket and called somewhere.

“This is Yoon Seon-woo. Could you send three bodyguards to the men’s bathroom in front of the CS (thoracic surgery) professor’s office? It’s urgent, so I’d like to ask you as soon as possible.”

“Ha, look at this bastard.”

Bang bang. The door, which had been kicked violently with a loud sound, began to bend inward little by little before I knew it.

The clasp was weak and kicked little by little, and the man grabbed the latch as hard as he could.

Eunjae looked at the man worriedly. Perhaps he could feel that gaze, the man looked at Eunjae with a smile on his face and whispered.

“why. You thought you’d beat me like a hero? I’m not good at fighting.”

He shook his head as if it wasn’t Eunjae.

“So don’t expect too much, because I don’t think I can do anything like this.”

“…….”

“I’ll protect you anyway, you promised.”

It was so noisy outside, the conversation between the two did not flow outside. Seonwoo’s hands, which held on to the latch, gradually turned white.

“It takes a very long time.”

I said it was urgent.

Seonwoo clicked his tongue as he looked down at the watch on his left hand, probably still relaxed.

At first one kicked, then two or three kicked at once. The bathroom door started shaking a little faster and stronger.

Sunwoo glanced at the woman. Enduring like this was no longer enough.

That said, I can’t even ask the frail woman who waits for me to trust me, and I don’t think it’s going to be of much help.

It’s embarrassing.

Why do you keep telling me to believe that?

Seonwoo, brooding over his regret, listened to the sound of their feet hitting the door.

Seonwoo, who had been reading the regular rhythm, suddenly opened the door. A man who was about to open the door fell into the bathroom and hit his head on the toilet.

“Ahh!”

I saw the woman who was about to scream in surprise at the man’s voice, but managed to cover her mouth.

The man who hit his head on the toilet bowl collapsed with the toilet bowl in his arms.

Soon after, one of the two men standing in front of him rushed at him, and Seonwoo used the open door frame as a support and kicked the man in the pit of the stomach as hard as he could.

The man who was hit exactly in the pit of the stomach rolled backwards with a ‘billion!’ sound.

“I give you my stomach in front of a thoracic surgeon, fearlessly.”

The last remaining man seemed to be at the very top.

The moment a man with a fairly robust physique approaches threateningly, swearing,

“You can’t do this here!”

The man who was caught by the bodyguards who appeared just in time struggled without using much strength. They were bodyguards with a stronger physique than men.

In the meantime, Seon-wu walked out with crabby steps, being overly careful not to touch the man who had fallen with his head in the toilet.

“You didn’t pay the most for your size.”

Thanks to that, the crisis seems to have been averted.

Seonwoo, who quietly looked down and checked the time with the watch on his wrist, narrowed his brows. He asked sharply at the bodyguard who was the only one who let go of his hand.

“It’s been 7 minutes since I contacted you, didn’t I tell you I was in a hurry?”

The bodyguard was restless at Sunwoo’s words.

Sunwoo Yoon is a hot potato in this hospital.

A venomous snake that is so vicious and tenacious that there are few people who don’t know him.

To add the invincible name to it, the eldest son of the hospital director. No further explanation was needed.

“Well, there was a commotion on the first floor as well. Maybe it’s a couple… … .”

“Is there a shortage of manpower?”

“Sorry, professor.”

The man who was easily subdued by one of the big bodyguards screamed loudly, and the man who was kicked in the stomach by Seonwoo’s shoe was gasping for breath and was held by another bodyguard.

Sunwoo, who watched the scene, closed his eyes tightly and turned around.

“Remember, the manual is five minutes.”

With his head lowered, Seonwoo turned again toward the bodyguard who was being reprimanded.

“Let’s get rid of those first, it’s going to be noisy.”

“yes.”

He frowned and stuck his index finger in his ear.

“Make sure to identify yourself and get contact information. A police investigation may be required.”

“yes.”

“Oh. Please also leave a picture for evidence. One precious bathroom door is broken, so we have to claim it.”

It was my favorite spot, tsk.

As he chanted in a low voice, as soon as Seonwoo finished his words, the bodyguard took out his cell phone and took several pictures in succession.

When Seonwoo urged him to clean up the man who fell with his head in the toilet, the bodyguard belatedly pulled him out.

The woman who I thought would stick her head out at any moment is somehow quiet. Seonwoo looked into the bathroom cubicle from afar.

The figure of the woman could not be seen through the slightly open door, perhaps because of her frail body.

No way, I told you not to come out, are you still in there?

Sunwoo scratched his eyebrows.

“You can come out now.”

It was only then that the woman who had been quietly attached to the wall exhaled a long breath and walked out of the bathroom stall.

In the men’s restroom, moreover, when a small woman walked out of the narrow compartment where Professor Yoon had been before, the bodyguard looked up at Seonwoo in shock.

I know what those eyes mean.

Seonwoo narrowed his eyes and said as if warning the bodyguards.

“Whatever you think, no.”

“yes… … .”

After a brief reply, the bodyguard turned his head away and easily pulled the fallen man out of the bathroom.

***

Eun-jae hesitated and stood next to the man, maintaining an appropriate distance between them.

As soon as they left, the man took off the robe he was wearing and threw it over his broad shoulders.

Quickly unfastening the cufflinks studded with round onyx, the man raised his shirt up to his elbows and scrubbed his hands in an unusual way.

Eun-jae was looking through the mirror at the man washing his hands from afar.

I didn’t know earlier because I wasn’t in a hurry, but I thought that the smooth lines that make up the man’s features are very pretty.

You look good.

“I guess you’re the kind of person who listens very well?”

When our eyes met the man who was washing his hands and looking up at himself in the mirror, Eun-jae, who hesitated for a moment, approached him and nodded politely.

“I was really thankful for today.”

Even before Eun-jae finished his greeting, his wet cell phone came right in front of his eyes.

“Enter your number.”

“yes? my number?”

“So whose number are you going to give me?”

The man, who handed over his phone and was absorbed in washing his hands again, did not look back.

Still asking Eun-jae in the mirror, he lowered his head and washed his hands again.

In a short moment, Eun-jae caught the corner of the man’s mouth as he climbed up at an angle and got goosebumps all over his body.

“I saved your life, right?”

The man wiped his hands with a paper towel and stuck them into the pockets of his black pants. It came with a small portable hand sanitizer.

After squeezing a lot of it into my palms and rubbing them, I put medical gloves on both hands.

The man who looked at Eunjae for a moment reached out his hand as if asking for something.

“You should give me your cell phone.”

ah.

Eun-jae, who answered with a mouthful instead of a sound, handed him a cell phone with her number entered.

The man who was handed the phone smiled with his head erect.

“You know what? You are the first person to touch my phone.”

This person is the first to do anything.

In movies and dramas, the male lead kisses without hesitation while saying ‘You are the first woman to do this to me!’… … .

Oh, what was I thinking?

Eun-jae quietly closed her lips and asked, shutting down the useless thoughts that had escaped time and space for a while.

The man tucked his arm through the white robe that was draped over his shoulder.

The blue embroidery on the left chest of the gown stood out.

―Yeonlim Hospital Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Department Yoon Seon-woo.

Oh, you are a doctor.

I was staring at the embroidery while repeating the name in my mind, and the embroidery grew bigger and bigger and came closer to my eyes.

With a gentle smile on his lips, he lowered his lips on Eunjae’s shoulder and whispered.

“Don’t just say thank you—”

“…….”

“I will definitely repay you, Grace.”
