Exiting the cabin as the late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the hospital grounds, Yunseo felt a sense of weariness settle over her. It had been a long day filled with the usual hustle and bustle of hospital life, and the promise of a quick snack at the cafeteria was a welcome respite.

As Yunseo made her way down the corridor, her phone buzzed in her pocket, signaling an incoming call. With a sigh, she answered, recognizing the voice of the cafeteria ajhussi on the other end.

"Nae Ajjussi?" Yunseo greeted him, bracing herself for whatever task awaited.

"Yunseo-ah, can you go to Dr. Seokjin's cabin and ask him if he wants sugar in his coffee?" the ajhussi requested in his usual hurried tone.

"Sure thing, I'll take care of it," Yunseo replied before ending the call.

Knocking lightly on Dr. Seokjin's door, Yunseo waited for the invitation to enter before stepping inside. To her surprise, seated before her was the same elderly woman she had bumped into earlier in the day. Despite the unexpected encounter, Yunseo offered her a polite smile before turning her attention to Dr. Seokjin.

"Do you need something?" he asked, his gaze fixed on a stack of papers on his desk.

"Yes, Sunbae-nim, I'm here to ask if you'd like sugar in your coffee," She replied, keeping her tone respectful.

The elderly woman spoke up before Dr. Seokjin could respond. "No sugar for him, thank you," she said with a warm smile.

"Alright, no sugar it is," Yunseo confirmed with a nod before taking her leave.

As she made her way back to the cafeteria, Yunseo couldn't shake the feeling of curiosity about the elderly woman. What was she doing in Dr. Seokjin's cabin? The questions lingered as she relayed Dr. Seokjin's coffee preference to the ajhussi.

Moments later, the ajhussi called Yn over again. "Yunseo-ah, I need you to take this coffee to Dr. Seokjin's cabin. I have to serve the hospital Director, he has a meeting with few charity members. It's important, please help me."

Nodding in understanding, "No problem, I'll take this to subae-nim," Yunseo accepted the coffee and headed back to Dr. Seokjin's cabin. To her surprise, the elderly woman was still there.

"Hello again," Yunseo greeted her with a smile as she entered the cabin.

The woman returned the smile warmly. "Hello, dear. It's nice to see you again."

"Isn't cafeteria ajussi supposed to drop this here?" Seokjin asked her. "Um, he's busy. He has to serve the hospital Director and the charity members." Seokjin nodded at her words and said a small 'thank you'.

As Yunseo handed Dr. Seokjin the coffee, introductions were made. It turned out that the elderly woman was none other than Dr. Seokjin's mother.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Kim," Yunseo said respectfully, offering a slight bow.

"Please, just call me aunt," the elderly woman replied, her eyes twinkling with kindness.

With the introductions complete, Yunseo bid them farewell and returned to her duties, her mind buzzing with the unexpected encounter.

Later that evening, as Yunseo sat in her small apartment, the events of the day replayed in her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling of curiosity about Mrs. Kim.

Unable to resist the urge to find out more, Yunseo reached for her laptop and began to search for information about Dr. Seokjin. A quick browse through the hospital's website revealed that he was a renowned neuro surgeon with several decades of experience in the field. But there was no mention of his family or personal life.

Frustrated by the lack of information, Yn turned her attention to social media, hoping to find some clue about Mrs. Kim. After scrolling through countless profiles and news articles, she finally stumbled upon a photo that caught her eye.

It was a picture of Dr. Seokjin and Mrs. Kim i.e., Lim Mija, taken at a hospital fundraiser several years ago. In the caption, Mrs. Kim was referred to as "Dr. Seokjin's beloved mother."

The pieces began to fall into place as Yunseo realized the significance of the woman she had encountered earlier in the day. Mrs. Kim wasn't just Seokjin's mother but also her childhood friend's mother. She recalled going to their home with her parents for business purposes when she was young.

Eager to learn more, she made a mental note to talk to her the next time she met her. But for now, she couldn't shake the feeling of excitement that bubbled within her. It seemed that she had stumbled upon a fascinating mystery, and she was determined to uncover the truth.

As the night wore on, Yunseo's thoughts drifted back to the encounter with Mrs. Kim. Despite the chaos of the day, there was a sense of serenity that settled over her, a feeling of connection to something greater than herself.

With a contented sigh, Yunseo closed her laptop and prepared for bed. Tomorrow was a new day, full of possibilities and potential. And as she drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but wonder what other surprises the universe had in store for her.
