Golden Time (JungYong)

30

Suhyuk smiled awkwardly, scratching his head.

He knew there were sometimes those who recognized his face on the streets, but he always found himself feeling awkward in situations like that.

"What motivated you to apply to our medical school among many others?" asked a professor.

Suhyuk replied, "To be honest, I applied to two other schools."

The professors present at the interview test smiled dumbfoundedly.

Is it not normal for an applicant to say 'No', even if he applied to other schools?

In interview tests, applicants say the same thing: 'I really want to be admitted to this school. If I fail, I want to come back to this same school on the second try.' Though in actuality they applied to many other schools.

"If that's the case, it doesn't matter even if you fail this time, right? With your score, you could be admitted to other schools easily," said a woman professor.

Suhyuk smiled bitterly, answering "Yes..."

Out of many medical schools in Korea, Daehan Medical School is recognized as the best.

Given the choice, it would be better for him to be admitted to Daehan MS.

"Lee Suhyuk," A professor at the end of the line asked blankly,

"If you have another emergency patient, will you take action without hesitation like before? Without any medical license?"

His eyes shone sharply as he gazed at Suhyuk.

"Yes," said Suhyuk before he knew it.

The professor who asked the question opened his mouth, nodding his head, "Cheer up!"

What does that mean?

"Next student!"

Suhyuk's interview test ended just like that.

When Suhyuk came out, he gave a short sigh.

A too business-like tone of the professors, and a relatively short interview time, compared with other students. 'Cheer up...' He really felt uneasy.

On a particular Sunday a few days since the interview test.

Kim Myunghee was busy preparing lunch. She wore a constant smile on her face. Her son was admitted to two medical schools out of three, and those were first-rate schools recognized by everybody.

"Where is Suhyuk?" his father asked, who came out of his room, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"I gave him some errands."

"Why didn't you do the errands by yourself?"

"Honey, don't you know his character? He just insisted he should do the errands. How can I stop him? You know how obstinate he is!"

He nodded at his wife's words.

His son is the type of person who massages his shoulders for more than one hour when he asks him to stop. He also buys gifts for their parents when they give him pocket money for his food or clothes. He was such a thick head.

With a slight smile, he quietly muttered, "Whose son could he be...haha."

At that moment he turned his head to the side after hearing a beeping sound.

It was from Suhyuk's cell phone.

He was so absent-minded to leave his cell phone behind when he went out on the errands.
