True relationships can change people.

The person I'm involved with can transform my life.

That is why people can be not only sources of hope

but also despair.

You asked me if I trust you.

I trust you as a doctor.

Am I supposed to thank you?

But I can't trust you as the guardian of my patient.

If this surgery goes wrong,

I will kill you.

Apparently a fortune teller has foretold a very long life.

-You're pretty good. -I used to hate you a lot.

I regard myself highly,

and it seems like you do so as well.

But I'm starting to like you.

-Is that a compliment? -It is a compliment.

We're rivals fighting over one woman, you know?

Have you even had a meal with her at the cafeteria?

It's going to happen soon.

Have a meal with her first before calling yourself my rival.

Gosh, must he hit a sore spot?

You've always been aggressive.

Your hands are huge.

Are they?

I think I can absorb your brain.

-What's up? -It's nothing.

Let's go for a walk.

You did a good job today.

-What's all this? -Take them to Prof. Hong.

I prepared some boiled chicken for him with a motherly heart.

It's samgyetang, the perfect health food.

-You are really... -Aren't I really amazing?

But it comes with a price.

-Pi Yeong-guk? -Bingo.

What do you expect me to do?

There's nothing in particular.

You just send him to the cafe, and I'll take care of the rest.

Here, open wide.

-It's delicious. -Right?

You sure ask for strange favors. I'll do my best.

My dear darling!

By the way, how do you read my mind so well?

Prof. Hong doesn't just belong to you.

He was my teacher too.

Once a teacher, always a teacher!

Would you marry me?

-I almost bought it. -I'm lying.

-Don't eat it. -Thank you for the food. Thank you.

YOO HYE-JEONG

Yes, Hye-jeong?

Is that so?

I'll give you my password. Head on in first.

NEUROSURGERY HONG JI-HONG

Hello.

JUNG YUN-DO

When are you going to eat with me?

-Pardon me? -Don't you even remember?

You promised to eat at the cafeteria with me.

The promise is overdue.

Then do you want to have lunch later?

I'd love that.

Why are you laughing?

You're just really funny.

Stop pushing it, my heart.

What are you doing?

Put it down right now!

Don't touch anything. This may seem like a mess.

But there's an order to it all.

-Did you wait long? -No.

You haven't had breakfast yet, right?

Of course. What's all this?

Sun-hui told me to bring you this.

Sun-hui? This isn't from you?

I wanted to bring you some too.

But we didn't make this.

We just heated up what we bought.

I didn't know you had this side to you.

Yes, I have a soft side too.

You probably never noticed since you hardly get to see it.

Drink the soup first then eat the meat.

Okay.

It's hot.

I'll be assisting with the chairman's surgery.

I know.

Did you find Granny's anesthesia record?

How does he afford to worry about me in his situation?

You're not answering me again.

Records over ten years old get scrapped.

-So? -The doctor who recorded

my Grandma's surgery still resides at the branch.

I'll be hearing from him directly.

By the way,

how are you so sure that she suffered medical malpractice?

Her cancer wasn't malignant.

The chance for survival was high with a successful operation.

She also underwent a table death.

I found out later

that it's rare for patients with stomach cancer.

How about your parents?

I think they settled. The case was closed quickly.

Can't I help you with your work?

You should take care of yourself first.

-You can't. -You're so firm.

-How much do you sleep in a day? -I sleep a lot.

Stop the ambiguity.

You need to provide an accurate approximation like I did.

Five hours is guaranteed. Sometimes I stay in bed all day.

And are you able to multitask efficiently?

That's right. I'm certainly not the type

who focuses on one thing like you.

I see.

Then are you happy?

I am happy.

How can you be so sure?

I'm alive.

I'm eating together with someone I like.

That's happy enough for me.

You're a very good

and strong-willed man.

What's wrong with you? Something's wrong, isn't it?

DR. JUNG YUN-DO

It's Dr. Jung.

I have to prepare for the surgery.

Make sure you finish everything.

Yes, Doctor.

Chairman Hong Du-sik looked up Kang Mal-sun's record.

-Are you sure? -The Chairman's code was entered,

so whoever looked it up,

Chairman Hong was involved.

-Investigate further. -Also,

he didn't return home.

-Then where else would he go? -His car is still parked,

but I'm not certain of his whereabouts.

What is he scheming this time?

-Search for him. -Right away, sir.

Hong Du-sik.

How far are you going to tail me?

PROFESSOR HONG JI-HONG

OPERATION RECORD

Hello, I'm Dr. Hong Ji-hong from the Neurosurgery Department.

May I speak with Mr. Kim Chi-Hyeon, please?

-Are you running tests for someone? -No.

What is she up to?

Is this an opportunity for me?

I'll find a weakness this time and keep it a secret.

It might come in handy.

Do we have a VIP patient?

We lack the clearance to look up VIPs anyway.

Don't waste your time. Order some fried chicken instead.

How dare you?

Do you think you're high and mighty with Dr. Yoo's favor?

I didn't even hit you.

Stop overreacting.

What should I do with him?

LARGE HOSPITALS READYING FOR CORPORATIZATION

How do you feel?

There isn't much to say before an operation.

You don't have to feign bravery in front of me.

I'm getting braver thanks to you.

What's the matter?

It's just that I have nothing else to look at, Father.

You have no idea how reassuring it is being with you.

I can see why you need children.

They'll be coming in for testing. I have to go see patients.

Go on, then. I'll see you later.

Bye.

-Why did you run? -To get here sooner.

Oh, dear.

I'm fine.

You should've stood still. Look what happens.

Stop embarrassing me.

We're colleagues. What's so embarrassing?

It's strange when you act so familiar.

It's a bit too friendly.

Is getting friendly a bad thing?

Yes.

Hello, Prof. Hong.

Can you see me now?

Were you visiting?

Yes.

When are you having lunch? I'll join.

You can't do that!

We already have plans, don't we?

That is true.

How about dinner, then?

How about dinner with me?

You know,

you should treat me if I complete the surgery succcessfully.

You're trying too hard.

Fine, let's eat together.

You two must be close.

We're not. Let's get the samples.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

-Have you been well? -Yes, sir.

Let's go fishing once you're better.

Do you like to fish?

You're the kind of person I like.

Ji-hong hates fishing.

He puts up with it when you're around, though.

-Let's go together. -Sounds good, sir.

Meet Dr. Jung Yun-do.

-So you're my surgeon. -Yes, sir.

-I'll be taking some blood samples. -Sure.

Du-sik is in the VIP ward.

You're certainly fast, Father.

I heard his car was here. So what's the matter?

He relapsed.

-Will you visit him? -No.

It seems like he wants to keep his surgery confidential.

He suspects that us, as well as the board will be affected otherwise.

Tae-ho's going too far.

I like that. It'll be the grounds for repercussion.

He doesn't deserve the vice-president title.

Let's not keep the surgery a secret.

There's too much pressure on you.

You'll be under the spotlight soon, too.

I agree.

Your father shielded me well until now.

It's time for him to rest and go fishing.

Thank you, Doctor.

-I have to go to the ICU. -Okay.

Prof. Hong.

Lee Gi-hwan fasted since midnight last night,

and his vitals are stable.

Anesthesiology will prepare operation room two.

-Is he off warfarin? -Yes. It's been a week.

Alright. Make sure everything is prepared for the afternoon surgery.

Got it.

Will Dr. Yoo be assisting?

Tell Dr. Jin to scrub in.

Okay.

YOO HYE-JEONG

-Yes? -Where are you, Prof. Hong?

The doctors' station.

The lab results are out. Will you take a look?

Shall I bring a copy?

No, we decided not to keep it a secret.

-Can I use the computer? -Sure, I'm all done.

His blood sugar level is 300.

I think we should postpone the surgery for a few days.

Consult with Internal Medicine. We'll put him on insulin and wait.

Okay. I'll inform Dr. Jung.

Okay.

Your stare is making me nervous. What's wrong?

Don't you have work to do?

I do, sir. I'm sorry.

I should...

Don't be sorry.

-I'm going to see my patients. -Okay.

-Can I tag along? -Yes.

Prof. Hong wants you to scrub in.

You know Lee Gi-hwan. He has cavernous angioma.

Are you sure? He told me not to operate for a while.

It's been longer than a while.

What about Hye-jeong?

She's assisting Dr. Jung.

Chairman Hong's surgery.

-He needs surgery? -Yes.

It's causing quite the uproar.

Why does she get the important job?

It's not about importance. She was a good fit.

Do you think I'm a bit wicked?

-Yes. -I've succeeded then.

I don't have time to rest.

-Let's halve the bill. -Why should I pay?

You were in the car too.

You were the driver.

I thought you had a license.

Dr. Yoo found out.

She hasn't said anything yet, but we need to sort this out.

What's so serious that I'm going completely unnoticed?

I tried to be Cinderella.

But I'm about to lose two month's worth of wages instead.

Anyway, I'm not paying.

-What? -What was that about?

Dr. Yoo received an imported car from the boss,

and we crashed it.

She actually accepted it?

Bribery is against our hospital's policies.

That's none of my concern.

It seems like Nurse Hyun, and I have to pay for the damages.

Do you have any ideas?

I'll sort it out for you.

I'm Dr. Jin Seo-u from Neurosurgery.

Neurosurgeon Yoo Hye-jeong accepted a bribe from a patient.

Yes.

Alright.

-Hey, Seo-u. -Hi, Dad.

Are you going to the conference at Jeju Island?

-Yes. -I like that about Tae-ho.

He cares for you despite what I do.

Here he comes.

I had no idea Chairman Hong had been admitted.

I should've told you, but I was afraid that you'd worry.

Of course I'm worried. He's a very important person.

Do you need anything?

I'm putting up a front, but you're really something.

No, but thank you for the offer.

-Take good care of him. -I will.

I knew something was off.

It was never going to work. The ball is still in our court.

We've been friends for 50 years.

I bought you your favorite cookies.

Have some after the surgery.

-Is your face alright? -Of course I am.

A punch doesn't faze me just yet.

Do you know how much I'm holding back?

Do you think I don't know about your slush fund?

So what are you going to do?

I was hoping that Myeong-hun would step down on his own.

But...

he blew his chance.

Alright. Do what you must.

In exchange, give me the information you have on my secret fund.

We're friends and no matter what, we share a history.

Get some rest now.

Aren't you sick of it now?

You've done nothing but work your whole life.

Let Ji-hong take over. I'll help.

Aren't you going to say hi?

-Did you reflect on what you did? -Yes.

I'll make sure it won't happen again.

Seo-u.

I was your teacher. Don't forget that.

How could I forget?

I sincerely wish you all the best.

I'm finally eating with her at the cafeteria.

Let's sit here.

It's so hard to have a meal with you.

-Are you usually this quiet? -No.

Then do you become quiet just around me?

-That's not what it is. -You're smiling again.

I told you. I'm really funny if you can get along with me.

I said that I think of you as a woman.

Did I fail to get the exact meaning across?

I understood. I'm not dumb.

So why are you keeping your guard up?

Is it because of Prof. Hong?

Dr. Jung, we're here to eat.

This is a bit too heavy for a mealtime conversation.

Why do you think that it's heavy? Food and love go hand in hand.

Well, I think we can talk about anything while we eat.

That's what I meant.

Dr. Jung, thank you.

Why are you thanking me?

I'm getting a bad feeling.

People usually do this before saying something negative.

I don't believe in romantic love.

Shall I stop?

No, go on. Let me hear you out.

If I must be in love,

I'll choose Prof. Hong.

I'm sorry.

It's nothing to apologize for.

But I appreciate that you're sorry.

It tells me that you have good feelings about me.

Come on. How can you get up right after I finished talking?

Let's eat.

I think I look funny too.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Thank you for calling Neurosurgery.

Pardon me? Yes.

Dr. Yoo Hye-jeong?

Yes, sure.

Who was that?

Internal Affairs is looking for Dr. Yoo.

That must mean she received a bribe.

I knew it. She just pretended to be a person of high integrity.

Dr. Choi. This wouldn't be because of that car, right?

No way.

Gosh, what if it is? I'll feel so bad.

-What are you doing now? -I should let Dr. Yoo know.

Hey.

Hey!

Run. Find Dr. Yoo and tell her to go to Internal Affairs.

-I can just call her. -That makes it too easy for you.

Run.

I said run! Hurry up already!

Gosh, seriously!

Darn it!

What are we going to do with him?

Doctor! Oh, no.

Dr. Yoo.

You could've just called. Why did you run?

Internal Affairs is looking for you.

Do you know where their office is?

I think it's upstairs.

You remember signing the morals clause

on your employment contract, right?

-Yes. -Then I'm sure you remember

that you're not allowed to accept any form of bribery from patients.

-Yes. -Is it true that you received

an imported vehicle from your patient, Gong Byeong-du?

No, he just left it here.

I needed some time because I didn't know what to do with it.

It's this car, right?

-Yes, it is. -You lied.

-You already drove it. -It wasn't me.

There was an accident while I was figuring out what to do.

Would you like to see my car?

Oh, my. That's a great car.

That car Mr. Gong gave me isn't something I'd covet.

We're colleagues. Could you please let it go?

I'd like to, but I'll need to consult my team.

NEUROSURGERY, HONG JI-HONG

DNR CONFIRMATION FORM

I do not want cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

I'm sure the surgery will go well, but I'm saying this just in case.

I might not be able to wake up because of my age.

I do not want to be forced into being resuscitated.

GENERAL SURGERY, NEUROSURGERY, PLASTIC SURGERY

-What did Chairman Hong say? -He was on my tail.

It's information about my slush fund.

So he knows about your slush fund?

He's been watching me closely.

I made him give this to me, though.

-He didn't resist? -I made a deal...

using you.

No! I cannot step down from my position.

That bought us time until he recovers from his surgery.

We just need to erase all the evidence.

It comes down to whether he kept the evidence in one place or not.

Neurosurgeons are often paranoid and overly careful.

I hope his surgery goes wrong.

Then we wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

It's a complicated surgery, so it'll be difficult even for Dr. Jung.

How dare you!

How could you say such a thing?

-I'm just so angry right now! -Enough!

Oh, it's you.

-Have you had dinner yet? -Yes, of course.

You really should've taken better care of your health.

Are you here to lecture me again?

Your blood sugar level is hovering around 300.

That can happen temporarily. Don't worry about it.

Did you bring the DNR confirmation form?

DNR: DO NOT RESUSCITATE

Yes, I did.

Pass me my glasses and a pen.

DNR CONFIRMATION FORM

Where am I supposed to sign?

Here.

PATIENT

Now,

it's your turn.

Is this really necessary?

I'm just preparing for the worst.

Don't take it too seriously.

I won't die.

GUARDIAN

I've decided to resign.

-You made a good choice. -Even if I'll be unemployed?

I'll bring the bread home.

Enjoy your life when you get better.

I'm high maintenance.

How much monthly allowance are you going to give me?

Spend as much as you can afford.

I see you're regretting your words already.

-You should lie down. -Okay.

Give me your glasses.

GUKIL MEDICAL CENTER

Check his facial nerves often as you remove the tumor.

So you don't cut off a nerve.

He's right.

-I know. -Start with the central tumor.

Also make sure not to damage the lower cerebral nerves.

Okay.

Why are you laughing?

You two look perfect together.

That's us.

A surgeon should have a strong heart that can withstand all stress,

be level-headed, and have delicate hands.

That sounds cool, doesn't it?

That's all written in your book.

My surgery is yours, Dr. Jung.

-Good luck. -If you don't do a good job,

he might wake up and take over.

Come on.

That's enough. You're going to make him cry.

How are you feeling?

So-so.

I thought I saw you smile. Doesn't that mean you're good?

I may be smiling, but I'm so-so.

Hearing that worries me.

Would you like me to try and make you laugh?

Why don't you sing for me?

What?

You can head to the OR.

Aren't you going to watch the surgery?

No.

Where are you going to be?

I'll be where other patient's family members wait.

Let's get started.

Scalpel.

Suction.

To the left.

Go deeper.

I found it. Suction.

Use the CUSA to remove the central tumor.

TUMOR SURGERY TOOL

What are you waiting for?

Why don't you take over if you're going to order me around?

Dr. Jung!

I can't operate under these circumstances.

I'm sorry.

Let's start over.

ONGOING SURGERIES, HONG DU-SIK

Is it up yet?

No, it isn't.

How about now?

Yes, it's coming in.

Do you see this?

-Yes. -We have to be very precise.

Suction.

The operation is going well, right?

We'll succeed as long as the suction is administered correctly.

It was hard waiting, wasn't it?

Time couldn't go by slower.

I know that feeling.

I will now tell you how the operation went.

It's written all over your face.

Ji-hong, the surgery was a success.

Yes.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I guess I'll be treating you out since you succeeded in the surgery.

-You don't have to. -Yes, I do.

I made you a promise.

Why don't you treat me out as well while you're at it?

You're not coming with us.

I almost died waiting. This isn't easy.

What is it?

Kim Jin-hwan has a severe headache and is still throwing up.

Should I give him a higher dose of painkillers?

Nothing showed up on his CT scan, right?

No.

Then let's wait a bit longer

before giving him half an ampoule of morphine.

Morphine? Got it.

Where are you?

Me?

-Hi. -Get me some cup noodles too.

Yes.

Have you given the orders for Kim Jin-hwan?

Yes.

Here you go.

-Do we have kimchi? -Here you go.

You lack social skills.

Kimchi is a must for instant noodles.

My apologies.

-Were you planning to eat alone? -No.

I'm on a kimchi diet these days.

An experiment conducted on rats concluded

that ingredients for kimchi are effective for weight loss.

-Why are you eating instant noodles then? -Be quiet.

You're gaining weight on your second year. Things must be easy.

Do you want me to help you lose weight?

Eat up.

Gosh, it's good. Kimchi is a must for instant noodles.

Doctor, say what you want to say.

You can stop with the jokes.

I'm here on business.

Sooni Hawaii is owned by my friend,

and I encourage you to go often.

It's a little bit excessive, right? I'm aware.

But she's a really good friend of mine, so cut me some slack.

You can eat this.

What was that? She was adorable.

She's quite charming.

From now on, I will live at Sooni Hawaii.

Sure. Make sure to get buried there too.

Sure.

I'm glad that the chairman woke up to normal vital signs.

Yes.

Gosh, let's be friends.

You're always so concise.

Or I just get rejected.

-I never rejected you. -Still, I haven't been chosen.

I close the wounds you caused with my abrupt comments.

Are you alright, Yun-do?

I don't understand your question. But sure.

It seems that you're fine after stabbing someone's heart.

Don't you feel anything?

Hye-jeong, the man who likes you is trash.

He said he will take anything except slaps to the face.

Sure.

-I'll get off first. -I'm coming with you.

-How can you get off with me? -I need to live too, you know?

How do you expect me to breathe the same air as her?

I don't want to do this with Seo-u.

-I don't like this either. -Then stop it.

Seo-u is beautiful. Why don't you like her?

Then why don't you like me?

I know Seo-u puts you in an awkward position.

But let's not be selfish.

I'm done living for appearance's sake.

I can attract men if I put my mind to it and be a femme fatale.

You'll never be that kind of person.

-Why not? -Because those people never give warnings.

They just wreak havoc.

You don't know me well enough.

I've already tipped the cup.

He was talking a moment ago, but he's already asleep.

He's like a baby.

-Please take care good of him. -Yes, sir.

I'll leave it you Nurse Yoo.

By the way, are you really going to treat Dr. Jung without me?

Stop it.

I'm just happy that the tension's gone.

Kim Tae-ho speaking.

Yes, Dr. Yoo Hye-jeong is a fellow in our department.

What?

That can't be right.

I'll go check with her.

Sure, I can make it that day.

Okay.

Dr. Yoo has been referred to the disciplinary committee.

I don't know what it's about.

She can just return the car.

Isn't a disciplinary committee a bit excessive?

I wanted it to conclude it well too.

-But the reporter is pretty assertive. -Who?

More assertive than I am?

It was Dr. Jin Seo-u.

She's also the daughter of the president.

Yes.

Welcome.

Have a seat.

I think it's been a while since the two of us met alone.

Have you been adjusting well?

I'm doing all right, sir.

Internal Affairs called me today.

They wanted to adjust your appearance at the committee.

I am one of the members myself.

I heard you received an imported car from your patient Gong Byeong-du.

-Is that true? -It is true.

I meant to return it to him, but I couldn't find the suitable method.

Of course,

I don't think you received the favor.

But I guess the others don't feel the same.

There's a saying.

"It's better to avoid giving the wrong impression."

Besides, you are just a rookie.

I was negligent, sir.

Expect a salary deduction

or a suspension at the least.

In the worst case scenario, you might be expelled.

Do you want to get a cup of tea?

You must've been happy after the chairman's surgery.

I ruined it, didn't I?

No, I haven't thought of it like that.

You should go home and rest.

It's been a long day for you.

I'm alright. You must be exhausted.

You want to rest at home, right?

-Yes. -Then you should rest.

I researched disciplinary actions.

I can attend the meeting as a board representative,

so don't worry too much.

I'm not worried.

My goal isn't to stay here forever.

Yes, that's a good approach.

Are you really okay with everything I do?

Yes. Everything about you is okay.

That's a fantasy.

Even parent-child relations are vulnerable to fallouts.

Why are you trying to debate me?

It's nothing.

Doctor! Dr. Choi.

What's wrong?

Dr. Yoo might face disciplinary action because of us.

Is that why she was called by Internal Affairs?

-Yes. -Gosh.

I'm glad. She should be punished for her wrongs.

It's a fact of life.

You're sowing the seeds for bad karma.

Is this your playground?

Is the doctor's station a gossip forum?

-He's been quiet for a while. -What are you doing?

-What were you muttering? -It's nothing.

-How's Mr. Kim Hui-cheol? -He's drowsy.

Then why haven't I been notified?

You were too busy hanging out, weren't you?

Kang Kyung-jun, follow me.

Doctor, we didn't intend to chat.

Something came up, so I had to speak.

What is it? If it's a waste of my time,

you'll have extra shifts for a week.

Dr. Yoo Hye-jeong got referred to the disciplinary committee.

Be more specific. Why are you pausing?

-Okay. It's... -Don't stammer!

The boss got hurt and came to our hospital.

Dr. Yoo operated on him.

And the surgery went well. He wanted to thank her, so...

-Are you aware? -I am.

Do you even know what I'm going to ask you about?

The disciplinary committee meeting.

Well, I like that you're quick-witted.

Dr. Yoo rejected me.

-You probably knew she'd do that. -Yes.

Do you know how long I've known her? But she's still not my girlfriend.

I see. She is a tough one.

I have huge respect for you. You're very patient.

I know, right? I'm amazed at myself too.

I'll continue to like her, though.

I won't hit on her because I feel pathetic.

But I'll wait for the right moments to take my chances.

-Alright. -Hold on!

I got rejected. Aren't you going to console me?

Buy me dinner. You said you'd treat me to a meal.

I can't today. I already have plans.

Wait...

Darn it. He always leaves the conversation first.

Hello.

I'm Hong Ji-hong. I'm sorry to make you come all the way here.

Gosh, not at all. Please don't worry about it.

I'm the head of General Surgery at Namyangju Center, Kim Chi-hyeon.

GENERAL SURGERY, KIM CHI-HYEON

-Please have a seat. -Sure.

I'm so honored to meet you.

I can't believe that I'm sitting with the chairman's son

who is also a renowned neurosurgeon.

What do you feel like?

You're posting that again?

People love it.

I could make a ton of money if it's made into a movie.

What will you do with the money?

I should give some to Dr. Yoo.

I feel so bad that she's getting reprimanded.

-In words only? -I have no money right now.

At the time, I didn't know that such crisis would befall her.

The next episode won't be posted for a while.

I love this webtoon about the gangster doctor.

Why are you taking a break for the next episode?

Goodness. There are actually people who wait for this.

I told you.

I heard you. Let's get moving now.

Dr. Yoo was doing business earlier.

Is she in sales now or what?

Is anybody here?

-Hello! -Oh, it's you!

Hello! You're the cute doctor.

-I'm here too. -I can see that.

What about Dr. Pi Yeong-guk? He didn't come with you?

No, he didn't. We'd love some instant noodles.

You must love instant noodles a lot.

I'm sure he can make it in the staff room.

You should save money. You're still just a resident.

-That's true. -Do you have something filling?

Yes, I do. This way, please.

-Please have a seat here. -Sure.

-I'll bring the menu. -Yes, thank you.

-Can I help with anything? -You startled me!

-Yes, sure. -What is it?

Please get your face out of my sight.

Don't say anything to make me feel better.

I'm really curious to find out what you want to talk to me about.

You took part in this patient's surgery, right?

ASSISTANT SURGEON: KIM CHI-HYEON

I'd be great if you could tell me the details of what happened.

Well, I don't really remember much because it was so long ago.

For stomach cancer, death on the table is very rare.

It's not something forgettable.

A lady came to see me claiming to be the patient's guardian.

Do you have any relationship with her?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I was close to the patient before she passed away.

Oh, I see.

I feel so tired all of a sudden.

NAMYANGJU GUKIL MEDICAL CENTER

How have you been?

Goodness gracious. This is ruining my day.

If you don't want your day ruined, you can just tell me.

Gosh, seriously!

-Would you like something to drink? -No, it's okay.

I came because I didn't hear from you.

There was excessive bleeding during her surgery, right?

What makes you think that?

I saw staff members rushing into the OR with blood packs.

There are multiple operating rooms.

Did you touch her liver?

Or did you rupture an artery?

I really can't talk to you.

Do you know why I've spared my time to talk to you like this?

What's your relationship to Prof. Hong Ji-hong?

-He has nothing to do with this. -So you know him.

Prof. Hong said that he doesn't know you.

You talk about revealing the truth as if you're fighting for justice

while using Prof. Hong to threaten me.

You're seriously getting on my nerve. Do you understand?

Please leave now.

I'll be back. I'll keep coming back.

NEUROSURGERY, HONG JI-HONG

Come in.

Good morning!

Why did you do it?

I made it clear to you.

I told you to stay out of it because it's my work to complete.

That woman, Kang Mal-sun's guardian, came to see me again.

I told you not to go easy on her.

Prof. Hong came to see me last night.

If he is related to this in any way, I can't just ignore it.

-What? -Let's be honest.

What if I get on Chairman Hong's bad side?

He will resign, so you just need to listen to me.

She said she'd be back.

I'd rather deal with someone who wants to sue me.

Goodness.

PRESIDENT JIN MYEONG-HUN

OPERATION RECORD

Why is Hong Ji-hong getting involved?

Are you upset because you found out that I met up with Dr. Kim Chi-hyeon?

Yes.

If we work on it together, it'd be resolved faster.

You do everything with Sun-hui. It's just like that.

Then why are you keeping things from me?

You made me go early when we went fishing.

I didn't ask you.

But I know that it was because of the tax investigation.

You didn't tell me about Chairman Hong's condition either.

I heard it elsewhere.

-What am I to you? -I did that

-because I didn't want you to worry-- -That's exactly what I'm doing.

Why do you have to suffer because of me?

-I'm not suffering. -I'm not either, then.

Why won't you share your worries with me?

I've never shared my worries with anyone before.

I've developed a habit of making all decisions on my own.

-It has nothing to do with you. -It does.

If we're going to start afresh as a man and a woman.

You try to persuade me that we should do everything together.

Then why can't you give up your habit?

Do you think that's love?

That's just burdening each other.

I have no interest in such love.

In the past, he made me want to become a good person.

Being a good person

and being a good partner in a romantic relationship

are two different things.
