Ik-jun?
He went all the way to Inje?
Yes, he just left.
-He even gave me money. -What's gotten into him?
That's so unlike him.
I almost burst into tears.
We never say things like "thanks" or "sorry"
to each other.
I know that, of course. My family is the same way.
Oh, boy. I guess he's getting old too.
-By the way, have you left yet? -Yes, just now.
I'll call you when I get to the rest stop. See you soon.
Everything looks good. What should we order?
What are you doing?
There's a strand of hair on your jacket.
Do you have to keep taking your medication?
Yes, it's a pain reliever. Just one tablet a day.
You're one tough cookie.
You've been holding out like this for years?
But I'm okay now.
Like Ik-sun, I have to refrain from strenuous exercise,
but daily activities are fine.
The medication is for my chronic pain.
The pain isn't too bad though.
Hold out for just another year.
You've been working hard to build experience.
You should wrap it up well and pass your board exam.
Yes.
I'll stay right by your side, Professor.
What do you recommend?
Meat lovers like our creamy pasta with tenderloin.
Those who like oil pasta usually order the pollack roe pasta.
Why must he be so punctual?
Over here.
Professor, you've slowed down your eating pace.
At your old pace, you'd be eating your dessert now.
No, I eat even faster now.
I'm trying very hard to pace myself.
The food here is good. And it's nice to eat out for a change.
Seok-min, isn't it time for you to to start studying? The exam is coming up.
Yes, I'm going to start from next week.
Professor, what will you do without me? You'll be so bored.
-I'll visit you often. -Where is the study room?
-Can we visit you? -Hey, it's called a study room.
Why would you visit someone who has to study?
I'll visit you guys. Goodness.
My dear Seon-bin. When I'm gone, you won't have anyone to mess with you.
You'll be so bored.
"My dear Seon-bin"?
Did you just call her "my dear Seon-bin"?
My dear Ahn Chi-hong.
My dear Heo Seon-bin and my dear Professor Chae.
What else... Yes, my dear pasta.
Your strong denial seems suspicious. Are you sure there is nothing?
What are you talking about? Nothing's going on.
Professor, shall we order desserts?
My gosh, look at her trying to change the topic.
Seriously, nothing's going on. What do you take me for?
Hey, what's wrong with me?
My dear Dr. Yong, you're such a catch.
How dare I even dream of dating you?
My dear Dr. Yong.
They say that sneezing and love can't be hidden.
You obviously can't hide it.
Something must be going on.
Guys, what's wrong with dating?
Professor, are we not allowed to date our co-workers?
Why not? I'm all for it.
It's nice if you can rely on each other.
Right.
Seon-bin and I are seeing each other.
Hey, Seon-bin. We're dating, right?
We got busted.
As if anyone would buy that.
Who would believe that?
Dr. Yong, what are we supposed to do in this situation?
What do you think? Let's just order some desserts.
Excuse me!
What is this social club called again? "I Am a Gosu" like master?
That's right. I Am a Gosu.
I see them at least once a month,
but I can't hold out anymore.
They said I must bring you today. They really want to meet you.
We'll just stop by and have dinner with them, okay?
Don't do this to me, Ik-sun.
I guess you really want to see the end of me.
No. They're all nice people. They're so naive and innocent.
But I'm sure they're all fourth or fifth-degree holders.
Ik-sun. Even for taekwondo, I'm only an orange belt in rank.
I'm on the same level as U-ju.
Okay. We'll go together.
I have to go if my girlfriend wants me to go.
What is this?
Is this another thing you don't eat?
-Hello. -Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Professor Kim. It's a pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure is mine. Thank you for inviting me.
This is Captain Hong, the troublemaker.
I totally turned over a new leaf after that day.
That night, Major Lee kicked me in the shin nonstop--
-Well-- -Hey!
Oh, I have something for you.
Please accept this gift as a token of apology.
What is this?
It's gosu. Cilantro.
Oh, my.
Look at you.
Here.
Drink up. Good boy.
You said you wanted tonkatsu. This was what you were actually craving?
U-ju, can I have a bite of the pollack roe mayo sandwich?
No, just eat yours.
-Do you want a bite of mine? -I had it yesterday.
You were here yesterday? With who?
I didn't know.
I'm a regular here.
"A regular"?
Oh, my. You and your fancy vocabulary.
-Who did you come here with? -Mo-ne and my mother-in-law.
Your mother-in-law?
-U-ju, do you know what that word means? -Yes.
A wife's mother.
I brought a genius into this world.
Father.
I would like another sandwich.
But you still have half of that sandwich left.
Buy me another one, please.
Show me something cute.
Oh, my heart...
Order two of what you want. Anything works.
Then tonkatsu, udon,
rice bowl with fish roe, and cold soba noodles?
The other guys might join us, you know.
I didn't say anything. Go ahead and order them.
-Why are you standing there? Come in. -One second.
Were you sleeping? You sound like you're losing your voice.
Do you have a cold?
Do you have a stuffy nose?
Be careful, especially during in-between seasons like now.
Did you have lunch?
Okay, I'll make sure I eat well.
Bye.
Yes, I love you.
Jun-wan!
-Dude! Can't you knock? -I knocked, dude!
Really? What? What do you want?
I didn't knock, you prick.
Why should I knock to come into your office?
Do you have Daddy-Long-Legs' contact number from Kangwoon Medical Center?
Does he help other hospitals too?
Yes, I reached out to him for help recently.
He must have a surplus cash flow now. He sent money right away.
I just sent you the number.
Hyeon Jeong-mi in Social Services at Kangwoon Medical Center.
Only she can reach him. She'll put you in touch with Daddy-Long-Legs.
-Is it an emergency? -No.
It's for a long-term patient.
He's stuck here because he can't pay the bills.
I think he's trying to take out high-interest loans.
He's an old man with no family or friends.
But he owns the bachelor apartment where he lives,
so he doesn't meet Social Services' criteria. It's complicated.
First, I want to contact them and see if it's feasible.
-Did you have lunch? -I have surgery. I have to go.
Take it easy.
That's right. The patient is a 78-year-old male.
He underwent a right hemihepatectomy
due to HCC.
He's been here for a while because his liver hasn't recovered.
Okay. I'll summarize it and send it to Daddy-Long-Legs.
He usually texts back right away.
-Give me about half an hour. -Okay, thank you.
Wait, is he a doctor?
He's asking detailed questions about the patient.
That I don't know.
I think he's well versed in medical knowledge.
He always asks detailed questions about the patient's situation and condition.
Anyway, I'll call you right back.
Thank you.
29TH DEPARTURE
Hi, Mom.
What's my sweet, adorable baby doing?
-I'm going to have lunch with Song-hwa. -Song-hwa?
Good. That's great. Shall I join you guys?
We're just ordering in.
And it's not Song-hwa. You got it all wrong.
"It's not Song-hwa"? That means you are seeing someone.
Who is it? Marry her. Get married at once.
My first pick is Song-hwa, but I'm fine with whomever you choose.
Gosh, my bad. I'm not seeing anyone.
It was a slip of the tongue.
Mom, I'll be in Yangpyeong this weekend. Make me some noodles.
Jong-su and I are going to see the fall foliage this weekend.
Come next weekend.
But I don't want to see you if you are going to talk about that. Don't come.
Let's talk in person.
Enjoy your lunch with Mr. Ju.
All right.
-Did you call everyone? -Seok-hyeong has patients.
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
