“Better news?”
“Yes. Actually…”
Lavin paused before continuing.
“Actually, it’s hard for me to believe it, but… the casting for the next film has arrived.”
“Already? Your next project?”
Choi Ki-seok shook his body without realizing it.
After an article surfaced that Lavigne was undergoing neuropsychiatric treatment, many people learned that he was suffering from a mental illness.
Nevertheless, it is unbelievable that the next work is coming.
“You’re more surprised than I am.”
“Honestly, it was so unexpected. They probably know that Lavigne is not in a state to act yet.”
“Yes. I knew it very well. But they said it wouldn’t be possible without me. Even listening to the director’s story, it seemed like it wouldn’t be possible without me.”
“Can you tell me what movie it is?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do as long as Dr. Choi keeps the secret.”
“of course.”
When Choi Ki-seok nodded, Lavigne began to explain.
The name of his next film is Sick Heart.
This is a film about the various joys and sorrows that a fledgling neuropsychiatrist experiences while treating patients.
Ravin’s role here is that of a neuropsychiatry professor.
It is said that he was chosen to play the role of a mentor teaching the main character.
“How are you feeling? Don’t you think you’re okay?”
“It’s the perfect role for Lavigne. It feels like Good Wall Hunting, which I filmed before.”
“Good Wall Hunting was the first thing that came to mind for me too. I think the role of teaching others suits me best. It was the same with Dead Man’s Society.”
“I agree.”
Choi Ki-seok continued the conversation with Lavigne about his next project.
It was very enjoyable to watch him being excited like a child.
Lavigne did not act out her emotions like she did in the past, but revealed what she felt.
“They say they are currently refining the script. They say they will start filming as soon as my treatment is over.”
“That’s good. It motivates Lavigne too, so she shouldn’t neglect her treatment because of her next project.”
“Don’t worry about that. I know now that there can be an actor Lavin Williams only if the human Lavin Williams is perfect.”
“yes.”
The two people gave each other a warm look.
“By the way, Doctor Choi. Do you have a lover?”
“Yes. There is someone I am studying with in Korea. I am even thinking about getting married.”
“Really? That’s a shame.”
Ravin drank the coffee on the table and spoke.
“I wanted to introduce him to a good actor. Not only does he have good looks, but he also has a kind heart.”
“I’ll just accept your heart.”
“I feel like I’ve been sitting there too long. Would you like to take a quick look around the room?”
“I was waiting.”
The two got up from the sofa and walked around the house.
Ki-Seok Choi couldn’t help but be impressed as he looked around the room.
First of all, the house was large and had many rooms.
The sophisticated interior and various furniture were a delight to the eye. It almost feels like you’re in a hotel suite.
“This is my acting room.”
“If it’s an acting room….”
“It’s literally a room where you practice acting. It’s soundproofed, so even if you scream, it won’t be heard from outside.”
Lavigne lightly knocked on the wall with his fist, and Choi Ki-seok was busy looking around the room.
There were various costumes and props placed in the room.
On one side, there was even a simple screening room where DVDs of works featuring talented actors could be viewed.
“I think you know how much Lavigne loves acting.”
“I don’t know about Dr. Choi, but these are nothing more than illusions. They are all purchased with money. It is important to practice acting even if you are in a shabby little room or even in the cold outdoors. In fact, it is not tools that raise a person, but time.”
Trudging. Trudging.
Lavigne moved to the shelf and took out a DVD. And after looking down at it, he lowered his head.
Choi Ki-seok roughly figured out the situation when he saw that he was holding a DVD called Dead Man’s Society.
“Ravin, it’s okay.”
“I’m sorry. I suddenly remembered something from a while ago. In fact, I was planning to hang myself to death because of this work. Until I met Dr. Choi.”
“….”
“You can do that because you’ve had a hard time.”
As Choi Ki-seok patted her shoulder, Lavigne ended up shedding tears.
“You’ve behaved in a disgraceful manner. That’s not what I came here for.”
“No, I was actually glad to see Ravin’s tears.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, I felt that he was opening his mind little by little. Lavigne is doing well and will continue to do well.”
When I gave encouragement to Lavigne, his face brightened somewhat.
“Thank you, Dr. Choi. Thanks to you, I have a new life. If I hadn’t met Dr. Choi, my life would have ended in this room. Thank you so much.”
Lavin grabbed both of his hands.
But it is that moment.
Tiring!
[You have acquired another life as a legendary item.]
[
Item can be released by consuming 1 million P.P. The effect of the item is unknown until liberation.]
‘Million P.P
?’
Choi Ki-seok clicked his tongue inwardly.
Beyond time, another legendary item in your possession.
The P.P needed to liberate this
is arrogance. However, the newly acquired legendary item
required 20 times more P.P.
What kind of power does this item have?…
“Doctor Choi are you okay? Why suddenly…”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It reminded me of the hospital.”
“Let’s take a look around the room and then have lunch. My wife is good at cooking, so you can look forward to it.”
“yes.”
Choi Ki-seok went down to the first floor with Lavigne.

That afternoon.
Ki-Seok Choi changed his clothes in the dormitory and headed to the emergency room.
I wanted to talk more with Lavin, but I couldn’t neglect the rescue team’s work.
Collect stores to advance early.
That is the most urgent task now.
When I got off the elevator and arrived at the emergency room, the rescue team doctors were gathered around the bulletin board.
Last week’s rescue results were posted on the bulletin board.
There are three main indicators of performance: number of dispatches, treatment accuracy, and patient recovery rate. Because performance was organized in descending order, it was easy to see the gap between doctors.
Would you say it’s really Parker-like?
“This time too, Mr. Choi is first place.”
“Isn’t the manager pushing me? How can I continue to be first?”
“Hey! Here comes Mr. Choi. Shut up.”
The rescue team doctors kept quiet as they watched Choi Ki-seok.
‘If you’re going to talk behind my back, don’t let me hear.’
Choi Ki-seok stood in front of the bulletin board with a bitter smile.
Nikolai ranked 2nd and Morgan ranked 3rd, and the remaining doctors showed similar levels of performance.
“Do you all like the performance table?”
When I turned my head to the familiar voice, I saw Parker standing with his arms crossed.
“Chief, I’m sorry, but do we really need to disclose our performance?”
One doctor in training bravely stepped forward.
“Is there any reason not to?”
“I think there are a lot of variables in treatment, but it seems unfair to judge it based on these few criteria. Just the number of calls we have here.”
“….”
“Isn’t a lot of dispatching necessarily a good thing? The more a doctor is dispatched, the more tired he or she gets, which can reduce the quality of medical care. When it comes to patient recovery rates, luck plays a big role. We don’t know which patients will get sick. Because it is.”
After speaking, the trainee looked proud.
“Are you done with your excuses now?”
“Chief, this is not an excuse…”
“You are saying that last week’s performance was last. Among the rescue team doctors, he was the worst.”
The doctor’s face turned bright red at Parker’s point.
“If you’re confident in your abilities, there’s no need to object to disclosing your performance, right?”
“….”
“Or are you ashamed of yourself? The fact that you fell behind your peers?”
“Well… that’s not it. I just want to say…”
“Reynold. This is the age of proof. If you don’t show your abilities yourself, others won’t pay attention to you. That’s why I “I said what you said was an excuse.”
Parker continued speaking rapidly, pointing to the performance table.
“Paradoxically, you need these indicators to be recognized. If there is no evaluation standard, how can you know who is a good doctor? Answer me.”
“….”
“I understand how you feel, but accept it. Who will say anything to you if you tell me to take first place in this week’s performance?”
“Okay, I’ll do my best!”
Reynolds answered in a lively voice.
‘It’s not that easy.’
Ki-Seok Choi’s eyes were fixed on Parker.
In fact, he also had the same opinion as Reynolds.
The common practice of standing in line did not suit the profession of a doctor.
How can we measure performance when it comes to dealing with human life?
By this logic, emergency patients would not even be able to receive surgery and would die.
‘Be patient, be patient.’
Choi Ki-seok kept his mouth shut.
I wanted to debate with Parker on Reynolds’ side, but I ended up holding back.
There is no benefit to be gained by taking a stand against Parker.
If it were him in the past, he would have earned Parker’s hatred after a rough argument.
“Mr. Choi, last week was very good.”
Parker came over and put a hand on his shoulder.
“I appreciate your compliment.”
“Yes. From now on, just keep doing it the way you are now.”
There was silence for a moment, then Parker changed the topic.
“There was a rumor a while ago that you started assisting with brain tumor surgery. Is that true?”
“I chose first because I wasn’t good enough. But how did you know that?…”
“I’m very interested in you. Well, you’re not a stalker, so you don’t have to worry.”
Parker continued in a joking voice.
“I understand that you have only recently trained in neurosurgery, but this is truly amazing. Moreover, to successfully complete the surgery as the first assistant….” “Thanks to Director Matthew for leading me
well.”
“Well, if he had done his job well, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Parker’s words were significant.
Ki-Seok Choi talked with him and then headed to the parking lot.
As I was greeting my colleagues from Rescue Team 1 and gathering treatment tools, the call phone rang.
“This is rescue team 1.”
[An electric shock occurred on Baker Street. There are two patients and they are currently unconscious. Please dispatch immediately.]
“Understood. Everyone, prepare to dispatch!”
His colleagues moved in unison at his shout.
Weeeeeeeee.
The ambulance left Mayjo Clinic with a siren sound.
Choi Ki-seok anticipated the patient’s condition and developed a treatment plan.
I felt it the last time I was dispatched, but the treatment that the rescue team could provide at the scene was limited. No matter how many treatment tools you have, even surgery is not possible.
Maintaining vitals and treating trauma.
He considered these two things central to the rescue team’s work.
Soon, the ambulance speeding down the road stopped.
Ride, ride, ride.
Choi Ki-seok ran to the telephone pole holding the emergency box in one hand.
