— Chapter 27 —
These past few days were very busy for Haneul, but she had enjoyed working at the hospital especially when her patients are elders.
Haneul and Jisung visits Hyung Seo three times a day, because he won't eat his meal if the two weren't near him.
Haneul was currently inside her office, sorting out some papers of her new patient.
A knock was heard from the door and Haneul told them to come in.
"Dr. Lee? You busy?" Domin entered and sat on the chair in front of Haneul's table.
"I swear I'll throw you to mars if you keep on calling me Dr. Lee when we're alone. And yes I'm busy, why tho?" She said, still not taking her eyes off the papers
"Well, Dr. Chan told me to give these to you. It was confidential so I didn't know what's written on it"
"Oh alright, thanks Min" He muttered a small 'welcome' before going outside.
Haneul checked the papers that Domin had given her.
'Lim Corp's had donated $1,000,000 to Seoul National Hospital. The heir decided to help out those people who are in trouble of finding money to pay their fees'.
"Tss, Lim's always put on a show don't they? Their money should be all gone by now" Haneul rolled her eyes and threw the papers on the ground
"Wait.. why did Dr. Chan send those papers to me?" She furrowed her eyebrows and took her phone that was placed in her coat.
She dialed Mark's number and waited for him to answer the call. And after three rings, Mark answered
"Hey Han, wassup?"
"Can you tell me a little background about Bang Chan? I sensed something fishy about him just awhile ago"
"Why? Did he do anything?"
"He just sent me a paper that marked the Lim's acts. They donated a big amount of money to the hospital"
"I see they're acting like the president again? Lim's are too pathetic, they think they could lure people with that shitty money?" Mark scoffed and Haneul nodded even though Mark couldn't see her
"But the question is... Is Bang Chan one of the Lim's men or what?"
"Bang Chan... He's the head of the Lim's men."
"Oh my fvcking god" Haneul rubbed her temples and sighed deeply.
"The Lim's must've sent him there, be careful around him Haneul"
"Mm, I will. I have to go now, bye" She said before ending the call.
"You're smart Bang Chan, but not as smart as I am".

"Hannie!" Hyung Seo called out when he saw Haneul and Jisung entering the room with the nurse who was holding the food tray.
"We're sorry for coming a bit late grandpa, Me and Jisung had to deal some other patients" Haneul said and Hyung Seo shook his head
"It's alright Haneul, you're both a doctor, I totally understand you guys" He smiled at them and the nurse gave him the food tray
"Your operation day is coming grandpa, you're finally gonna get better soon!" This made him smile even more
"Really? Will you and Jisung be with me in the operating room?"
"Of course Grandpa, me and Jisung are the ones who'll operate you-"
"Not so fast newbie. I, am the one who's gonna do the operation. Since... I don't trust newbies" Hansung suddenly came inside the room and Hyung Seo's gaze at Hansung was very deadly
"What are you doing here? Nobody asked you to come inside without my permission" Hyung Seo said and Hansung laughed
"Oh come on Moon, I am one of the best doctors here in SNH. What's there to worry about? Will you let these dimwits operate you and kill you? No, not a chance. I don't want them to give us bad reviews" He said and sat on the couch
"How are you old man? Still not eating at the right time?" He smirked and Haneul rolled her eyes
"You know what Hansung? You're just wasting our time, so get the fuck out and don't disturb Mr. Moon" Haneul said and pointed at the door
"Woah chill babe, I'm going" He stood up and winked at Haneul before going out
"Ugh, that jerk. He's been like that ever since last week. He's so irritating!" Haneul huffed and sat on the couch
"Don't mind him Hannie. He just wants more attention" Jisung said and Haneul nodded.

Nighttime approached and Haneul just finished with her operation. She had a really tough day today so she decided to go to the rooftop.
As she opened the door, the cold breeze of the wind hits her face, it's a good thing she's wearing her coat so it wasn't that cold.
She sat on the bench and admired the night sky. It's been a while since she last went to stargazing.
"Stars are the souls of your loved ones" She whispered to herself and sighed deeply
"You believe that?" An unexpected voice was heard. Haneul turned around and saw Jisung walking towards her
"Can I sit here?" Haneul nodded and the latter sat beside her
"Why are you here? It's freezing cold" Jisung asked and Haneul smiled
"I just need some fresh air. I've been breathing hospital air these days. Well, obviously I'm in a hospital" The two chuckled and silence engulfed them.
"Jisung?" Haneul called out. Jisung hummed, not taking his eyes off the stars
"Don't you remember me?"
"What do you mean? I just met you days ago?" he responded and Haneul looked down, disappointed with his answer
"Are ... you okay?"
"Yeah.. I-" She sighed and leaned on the backrest of the bench
"I just missed my boyfriend"
"Oh? you have a boyfriend? What's his name? Oh wait, is it Domin? I noticed that you two are really close"
"Nah, Domin's my childhood friend, and I only see him as my brother, nothing more than that."
"And it's a coincidence that you and my boyfriend has the same name and features."
"Oh, so that's why Domin acted like he knows me"
"Yeah, crazy right. And the way you talk.. I don't know Sung, maybe I'm just missing him too much"
"I like that" He said and Haneul looked at him with one eyebrow raised
"You like what?" Jisung looked at her and smiled widely
"I like it when you call me Sung. Call me that from now on"
"Alright Sung" The two spent the rest of the night talking about their lives. Haneul had found out that Jisung was the youngest son of the owner of Park Industry.
He had also shared about his past relationship that didn't go well, and he also told her about his addiction to pororo, which Haneul find it cute.
Haneul thought that maybe this was the time to know the new Jisung that she knew and finally let go of the Jisung she loved.
