Golden Time (JungYong)

44

Prof. Lee stared fiercely at him.

He has been waiting for a chance to scold Park because of his unpleasant actions in recent days.

Prof. Lee took issue with Park's behaviour that went against his philosophies.

"Isn't it time for students to finish practice for the day?"

Park responded confidently, "He was late for the afternoon practice session, so I had him clean up the emergency room as recompense." 

"In the afternoon?" 

"Yes, it was after lunch time."

The professor questioned Park, whilst looking at Suhyuk.

"He's been with me all along. I think that got him into trouble."

Park was surprised and looked at Suhyuk.

"Why didn't you tell me you were with a professor?" 

"Well..." 

When Suhyuk was about to open his mouth, Prof. Lee said, "Mr. Park."

Park responded, breaking into sweats, "Yes, professor." 

"What is the condition of patient Im Junghwan?" 

He underwent surgery just recently, having suffered from various complications. 

His survival in itself was amazing. No doubt did he survive thanks to Prof's Lee's surgical skills.

"Various complex complications..." 

"He is a patient you can't get your eyes off at any moment, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Just report to me the patient's condition every hour." 

Park made an expression as if he were about to cry. 

His instructions from Pro. Lee meant he could not afford to sleep in order to be able to check on his condition every hour.

"Okay, sir." 

"And I have something to talk about with Suhyuk. Can I take him?" 

Park nodded his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Come see me for a moment," Prof. Lee said.

The professor walked back and Suhyuk looked at Park with a sorry expression. 

"Go quickly." 

"Then..." 

Suhyuk then quickly followed Lee. 

Choi bowed her head at him, "Sir, I'll see you tomorrow." 

Park took a short sigh of relief. For him, today, things did not work out well with either the professor or Choi. 

"Choi Suryon, let's talk for a minute."

Park headed to the drink vending machine outside the emergency room. Park handed her a coffee, and he took for himself a coke to drink. 

He gulped down the coke at once. 

"Sir, don't you feel your throat getting hot?"
Despite Choi's question, he did not say anything, throwing the now empty can into the trash can. Then he opened his mouth,

"Do you like Lee Suhyuk?"

-----

Suhyuk was drinking coffee at Prof. Lee's office. 

"Thank you." 

"What do you mean?" 

"I heard that you paid off the old woman's medical expenses."
