Golden Time (JungYong)

46

A sweet weekend like that passed quickly and Monday came without fail. 

"There are no morning rounds because the professors are busy today." 

The zombie-like faces of the practitioners brightened instantly. 

Actually the morning rounds with the professors is a continual time of tension.

The questions poured out by the professors, hard to understand like an alien language, were killing them. 

"Do you feel good because you have no rounds?" 

At resident Park's question, everyone shook their heads as if nothing happened. 

"No, sir!"

Park continued, "Today's schedules have all been cancelled, because all the other professors are also busy today."

The students were so happy that their faces could not be brighter.

"So, do you like it?"

"No, sir!"

"You feel it's regrettable since you won't be able to do clinical practice, right?"
"Yes, sir!" 

"Yeah." "Sadly, I cannot practice." "Yes!" 

"Well, then let me schedule one for you guys."

The students' faces darkened instantly. 

"Don't be scared. Just do your homework in the PK room today, as long as nothing unusual happens today. Okay?" 

"Yeah!" 

When Park Ganghyun disappeared, the students became noticeably disturbed. 

"Oh, when was the last time we had any free time?"

"Just be quiet. Otherwise, we might get a scolding."

Suhyuk laughed bitterly. 'Self-study...'

He had nothing in particular to do. It was much better for him to make the rounds and check the patients. 

"I think we'll finish early today. Shall we have dinner together?" 

Suddenly, Choi Suryun, who came before Suhyuk, asked them.

"Good idea!" 

"Don't exclude alcohol."

With such words, everyone looked at Suhyuk. He was always busy; busy with observing surgeries, and called for by the professors sometimes when clinical practice was over. 

They felt jealous of him at first, but later they thought they were lucky not to be like him.

Without even going through it, they knew what kind of situations he was in when it came to having a one-on-one meeting with the professor. There, they would probably talk in an incomprehensible language instead of their native tongue. Rather than blinking their eyes before the professor, it was better for them to memorize a medical term related to bones.

"Let's go, huh?"

Choi Suryon shook his arms impatiently. 

Suhyuk laughed gently, "If we're done early."

Looking back, he never attended his group members' gatherings. Though he usually gave an excuse to avoid it, he really could not find any time for it. He felt sorry for that, so this time he decided to attend. 

"Okay, good timing," he said.

He felt he could attend since he had nothing else to do, especially seeing that the schedule was canceled today.
