Golden Time (JungYong)

84

The briefing session continued on without any break time.

Despite this, nobody left the place as they were all focused on Suhyuk's explanation.

That showed how important his briefing session was.

"Thanks everybody. Let's have a 10-minute break and then a Q&A session after."

As soon as Suhyuk said that, the doctors present there closed their laptops and notebooks, standing up from their seats.

"Just great. How could he solve all that?"

"I heard that Koreans are smart, and I think that's right. He's a really smart guy."

Suhyuk, standing at the podium, looked at them heading for the restroom.

'They would treat a great number of patients, based on my stem cell research.'

Even though he had no patients right before his eyes, he felt he would be able to treat them, starting from today.

Click.

The camera flash popped up at the place where he mingled with the medical staff.

A photographer took a picture of Suhyuk.

Suhyuk made a gentle smile at him.

Click, click.

The photographer suddenly raised his thumbs up, to which Suhyuk did the same.

The Suhyuk today was different from the Suhyuk of the past who hated camera flashes and attention.

"Is there anyone you respect?" one reporter asked.

Suhyuk gladly answered without any hesitation,

"Well, that would be my parents who gave birth to me and raised me."

That's right. Without caring about their own life, his parents raised him by working hard, doing such things like manual labor or cleaning buildings despite their back pain.

When they wrote Suhyuk's remarks in their notebooks, another reporter asked,

"Do you have any mentors?"

At his asking, Suhyuk replied,

"Prof. Han Myungjin. He's a guest doctor at St. Hopkins Hospital right now."

Nodding his head, the reporter murmured, "Someday I've got to interview him."

While the reporter and Suhyuk were exchanging a brief conversation, the doctors came back after their break. The breaktime was now over.

Suhyuk said, "Let me now open the floor up to your questions."

The doctors raised their hands here and there.

After the briefing session was over, Suhyuk went back to the hospital, and was waiting for the elevator.

"Dr. Lee!"

Suhyuk turned back at someone's calling him from behind. 

It was Phillip.

"How did your briefing session go?"

"Great. Thanks for your help."

Suhyuk knew that Phillip drove away all the reporters coming to the hospital to see him.

Without Phillip's help, he would have experienced a lot of difficulties moving to his where he needed to go. 

Ding dong.

Suhyuk went inside the elevator with Phillip.

They remained silent while they were heading for the surgery building.
