Dr. Jennie Kim, Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery - her reputation carried through every corridor, every whispered word from interns who admired her, and every wary glance from residents who feared her temper.
At the observation deck above, the team lingered after their shifts, half-watching, half-bantering.
• Jisoo, senior anesthesiologist, sharp-witted and calm, lounged with her arms crossed.
• Rosé, pediatric surgeon, softer in tone, had her chin propped in her hand, eyes following Jennie's every move with quiet admiration.

• Kai, neurosurgeon, cocky and graceful, leaned forward, pretending he wasn't impressed by Jennie's speed.
• Seulgi, ER physician, hair tied neatly back, analytical and efficient even off-shift.
• Irene, head nurse, composed and graceful, standing quietly, the backbone of every surgery.

A doctor who would slowly, patiently, pull Jennie's perfect world apart.
Lisa Manoban.
And nothing - not Jennie's prejudice, not her carefully built walls, not even V's place at her side - would be enough to stop it.
