Holding the end of the intern (4),
Ki-seok Choi approached Ji-hye Yoon, who had fallen on the floor. He then illuminated her with his cell phone flashlight.
“Professor, are you okay?”
“Haa… haa… haa….”
In response to Choi Ki-seok’s question, Yoon Ji-hye just exhaled harshly.
The pupils were slightly dilated, and when I touched the limbs, they were as hard as stones.
Physical strength: 4/10
Main symptoms: Difficulty breathing / Fatigue / Fainting
Area affected: Neurological / Mental
Diagnosis: Hyperventilation syndrome
Current status: Emergency Progress
: Poor
History: None
[This patient suffers from claustrophobia.]
Through the eyes of Hippocrates The moment I noticed the symptoms, I thought it was a mistake.
Choi Ki-seok poured out all the trash in the plastic bag he was holding on the floor.
Afterwards, a plastic bag was placed on Yoon Ji-hye’s face.
Hyperventilation syndrome refers to a condition in which excessive carbon dioxide escapes through breathing.
At this time, you need to replenish carbon dioxide by letting yourself breathe in your own exhaled breath.
In the darkness, the sound of Yoon Ji-hye’s heavy breathing continued.
“Professor. It’s okay.”
Choi Ki-seok continued to console Yoon Ji-hye.
Since the cause of hyperventilation syndrome was claustrophobia, it was important to calm the mind.
He also massaged Jihye Yoon’s arms and legs, taking care to keep the envelope on her head in good condition.
Massage helps blood circulation.
How much time has passed?
Jihye Yoon’s breathing quieted down. The condition seen through Hippocrates’ eyes also returned to normal.
“What… I’m scared.”
Jihye Yoon sat down on the floor and leaned her back against the elevator.
Even though there is a cell phone flash, the surroundings are dark. It felt like the darkness would eat her up at any moment.
Jihye Yoon stood up with all her strength.
thud! thud! thud!
“Someone is trapped here. Please help.”
Jihye Yoon nervously knocked on the elevator door.
The fear deepened amid the meaningless cries.
It felt like I was going to suffocate and die in the darkness like this. My breathing, which had been stable, began to become heavy again.
But that’s the moment.
Choi Ki-seok hugged her waist tightly from behind.
“Calm down. I’m here.”
“….”
“I called 119, so help will come soon. Let’s just wait a little longer.”
Choi Ki-seok calmly stabilized Yoon Ji-hye.
If Jihye Yoon doesn’t overcome her fear, hyperventilation syndrome may come back.
If the intensity of the seizure becomes stronger, an uncontrollable disaster may occur.
“If you’re scared, hold my hand tightly.”
Choi Ki-seok released his hand from around his waist and held Yoon Ji-hye’s hand. Yoon Ji-hye leaned back against Choi Ki-seok and squeezed his hand with all her might.
My heart gradually sank.
His soft voice continues to whisper that it’s okay and you don’t have to worry.
Warm body temperature transmitted through shallow clothing.
And even their hands held tightly together.
I gained confidence that I was not alone and that I could overcome this darkness.
Ride, ride, ride.
Urgent footsteps were heard outside the door.
It seemed like 119 crews had arrived at the scene.
“We’re alive now!”
Only then did Ji-hye Yoon run around like a child, and Ki-seok Choi smiled happily at her.
“Is there anyone there?”
“Yes. Here!”
“Please wait.”
As the crew worked, the tightly closed door slowly opened.
The light coming through the crack in the door was like the light of heaven.
Boom!
Finally, the elevator door opened completely.
“thank you.”
Ki-Seok Choi greeted the 119 members and came out of the elevator.
When I suddenly checked the time on my phone, only about ten minutes had passed.
When I was trapped, one minute felt like ten minutes.
The two went down to the first floor using the stairs.
“Are you okay now?”
“More than before.”
Jihye Yoon nodded slightly.
“Still, I think you need more stability. Would you like to walk with me?”
“You’re off. Rest in the dormitory.”
“I’m just taking a short walk. Whatever.”
Yoon Ji-hye nodded slightly at Choi Ki-seok’s suggestion.
The two walked side by side on the trail near the dormitory.
Summer passed and fall was coming. As the heat subsided, the night breeze became cooler and more refreshing.
“thank you.”
Jihye Yoon spoke first.
“If it weren’t for you, I would have been in big trouble.”
“You must have been very scared, but the professor tolerated it well.”
The two people’s eyes met.
At that moment, Yoon Ji-hye’s face turned red. Suddenly, I remembered the time I had skinship with Choi Ki-seok.
“Well… there’s nothing like that.”
Yoon Ji-hye answered bluntly, avoiding Choi Ki-seok’s gaze.
I wanted to erase the strange feeling rising in my chest.
For doctors, emotions are a luxury.
Feelings toward patients, feelings toward colleagues, and even feelings toward oneself.
All a doctor needs is the will to fight against disease.
She still completely believed what her father said.
“Professor. Do you have claustrophobia?”
Choi Ki-seok asked cautiously.
“Yes. When I was young, I went down to the countryside and fell into a well. It’s been like this ever since.”
“Then, as for treatment…”
“I got it for a short time when I was young and haven’t had it ever since. When I didn’t feel well, all I had to do was walk away.”
Jihye Yoon’s tone of voice was calm.
As if you were telling someone else’s story rather than your own.
“I won’t tell the other staff about what happened today.”
Yoon Ji-hye nodded slightly at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“Now that you’ve calmed down a lot, mind your own business.”
“Yes. See you tomorrow.”
“Ok, thanks.”
The moment Yoon Ji-hye expressed her gratitude again, a notification struck her ear.
Tiring!
[A new rapport has been formed with Ji-hye Yoon.]
NEW [Ji-hye Yoon (Medical Worker): Stage 2 – Faith]
[A special rapport chain of faith has been formed.]
[Chain of faith]
– The target has favored you. We support and respect you in any situation and are willing to help you if you are in danger.
– This relationship will not be broken unless you betray the other person first.
“Are you sure?”
Choi Ki-seok looked at the status window and smiled with satisfaction. Among the high-ranking staff at Ui-guk, there is now a clear ally.
It’s a significant harvest.
Jiiiing.
My cell phone, which I had placed in my gown, trembled.
Just then, Jeong Seol-hwa called.
“Uh, it’s a snowflake.”
[Is it off today? Where are you now?]
“The garden in front of the dormitory. I was taking a walk with a professor in my department. I was already trying to contact you.”
[I don’t know!]
Maybe it was an illusion, but Jeong Seol-hwa’s voice was cold.
“You’re in the duty room right now, right? Shall I go there?”
[no. I’m in the dormitory. I came to pick up a book to study for a while.]
“Then shall we meet in the garden?”
[I’ll go down.]
Jeong Seol-hwa hung up the phone and Choi Ki-seok walked around the fountain, thinking about various things.
“Snowflower!”
Choi Ki-seok waved his hand and approached Jeong Seol-hwa happily.
However, Jeong Seol-hwa’s expression was not very bright. I seemed to be in a good mood until we spoke on the phone in the morning, but did something happen in the meantime?
“I will listen.”
“I can lift this much.”
Jeong Seol-hwa shook off Choi Ki-seok’s touch.
“Are you in a bad mood?”
“There is nothing like that.”
Choi Ki-seok of the past would listen to Jeong Seol-hwa’s words and say,
‘Huh. okay?’
I would have let it go, but now it was different. When I started dating Jeong Seol-hwa, I learned to look after her.
“There’s nothing there. It’s written on my face that I’m upset. Let’s sit down for a moment.”
Jeong Seol-hwa nodded slightly at Choi Ki-seok’s suggestion.
The two sat side by side on the bench and remained silent for a while.
“Are you going to keep your mouth shut? Speak quickly.”
Choi Ki-seok put his hand around Seol-hwa Jeong’s waist and gently pulled her towards him.
“…Who is that woman earlier?”
“female?”
“The woman I walked with in the garden.”
Jeong Seol-hwa raised her head and looked Choi Ki-seok straight in the eyes.
It was only then that Choi Ki-seok realized why Jeong Seol-hwa was so sharp.
She witnesses him and Yoon Ji-hye walking and becomes jealous.
Jeong Seol-hwa was in a very angry situation, but for someone who knew everything, even her current appearance was lovely.
“He’s a professor from our department who joined us two months ago.”
“You’re lying. If you’re a professor, you must be at least in your mid-thirties. How can you look like you’re the same age as me?”
“If you don’t believe me, shall I show you?”
Choi Ki-seok took out his cell phone and went to the hospital’s website. When searching for thoracic surgery staff, Jihye Yoon’s profile was revealed in detail.
Jeong Seol-hwa, who checked the profile, could not say anything.
“Am I right?”
“Um… But why were you with that person?”
“It’s a long explanation.”
Ki-Seok Choi told me in detail what happened in the elevator.
Of course, except for the part where he used skinship to reassure Yoon Ji-hye.
Jeong Seol-hwa’s expression softened little by little at the detailed explanation.
“He was shaking in the elevator, and I tried to calm him down by talking to him. You can’t just be cold and leave.”
“…okay.”
“Do you really know?”
Choi Ki-seok paused before continuing.
“That I love you very much?”
Jeong Seol-hwa’s cheeks turned red due to Choi Ki-seok’s time-lapse attack.
She was embarrassed and buried her face in Choi Ki-seok’s arms.
“You are the only person I like. So don’t ever doubt it.”
Choi Ki-seok gently held Jeong Seol-hwa’s hand.
“sorry.”
“what?”
“I doubted you for no reason.”
Jeong Seol-hwa looked up at Choi Ki-seok and continued speaking.
“But when I saw you laughing and talking with another woman, I couldn’t bear it. My whole body was shaking.”
“I know it’s not the case anymore, so it’s okay, right?”
“huh.”
Choi Ki-seok kissed Jeong Seol-hwa’s forehead, who responded cutely. Then Jeong Seol-hwa shook her head and pointed to her lips with her index finger.
When I glanced around, it didn’t look like there were any people.
He boldly kissed Jeong Seol-hwa.
But today, the feeling of kissing was quite different from usual. Usually, their lips would meet and lightly rub against each other, but today, Jeong Seol-hwa attacked aggressively, even using her tongue.
My heart pounded and my hair stood up.
“Oh… today is a little different?”
“I… searched… on the Internet… I heard there are different types of kisses, so I looked
into it and tried it.” Jeong Seol-hwa was passionate when kissing, but quickly became embarrassed once the kiss was over.
As she spoke, her cheeks turned bright red.
It was so cute that Choi Ki-seok looked at her cheeks. I lightly pinched him.
Jiyiing.
The call phone rang without notice.
Choi Ki-seok sighed and checked the number.
It’s a call from the thoracic surgery ward.
[First intern. Please do an ABGA (arterial blood draw) for a patient in the ward.]
“I’m off today. . What about Kangjun?”
[I called, but he still didn’t answer. This is an emergency, so I have to do it quickly.]
“I’ll go.”
Ki-seok Choi hung up the phone and headed to the main building with Seol-hwa Jeong.
Afterwards, he parted ways with her and went to the thoracic surgery ward. And inside. I ended ABGA by chewing Nam Kang-Jun’s mouth.
‘Since we’re already here, should we at least have a round?’
After organizing the treatment tools, Ki-Seok Choi walked around the hospital room,
using the Eye of Hippocrates.
While doing so, he stopped in front of the single room where Eun-Ha Kang was. The moment he saw the person lying on the bed, his head started pounding. He understood the
situation. It took a long time to do that.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
of finally opened the door and went in.
“Hey. Who are you?”
Ki-seok Choi stabbed the arm of the person who was lying covered with a blanket with his index finger.
“I know it’s not Eun-ha, right? ”
