Thoracic Surgery Ward.
Choi Ki-seok set up the table attached to the bed and prepared a meal.
Usually, heart transplant patients stay in a sterile room for as little as 1 week to as long as 2 weeks. However, Choi Ki-seok’s progress was good and he left the sterile room after four days.
When leaving the sterile room.
At that time, it was thrilling, like finding an oasis in the desert, but it only lasted for a moment.
Now I was sick of life in the ward and wanted to be discharged.
“The meal is here.”
The male ward guardian distributed trays of food.
Choi Ki-seok took the tray and started eating breakfast.
The noisy hospital room suddenly became quiet.
Hospital food is tasteless.
At least that didn’t apply here at Jinseong University General Hospital.
Choi Ki-seok put away the tray and sat down on the bed.
When I opened the personal storage cabinet, various snacks were piled up like a mountain.
Just yesterday, my family came to visit me and threw me a snack bomb.
“Kiseok. Are you eating again?”
Yoon Moon-jae, who was occupying the bed next to him, looked at Choi Ki-seok eating nuts.
“Because my mouth is bored.”
“Are you eating alone?”
“Is that possible? I tried it first to see if it was poisonous.”
Choi Ki-seok joked and handed nuts to Yoon Moon-jae.
Only then did Moonjae Yoon’s face brighten.
“You’ll be discharged in two days, right?”
“yes.”
“If there are any snacks left, give them all. I’m dying because my wife doesn’t come to visit me and doesn’t even give me money for snacks.”
Moonjae Yoon munched on nuts.
“I need to be discharged from the hospital quickly, too. This bastard, Cheol-ho, is eating up all my roles.”
Moonjae Yoon is a musical actor.
He said that in his 20-year career as an actor, he has never played a leading role on screen, but is famous for his famous supporting roles.
“What do you enjoy eating so much?”
“It looks like there are only two mouths in the hospital room.”
Patients in the same hospital room, Jang Ki-young and Kwon Jun-ha, approached like hyenas.
“Why should I leave you two out?”
Choi Ki-seok smiled and handed snacks to the two people.
Jang Ki-young was given a bag of nuts, Kwon Jun-ha was given a kiwi, and Kim Jin-wook, who was away for a moment, was given a ripe sweet potato.
“Kiseok’s dresser is a complete refrigerator.”
Jang Ki-young said while chewing nuts.
On the other hand, Kwon Jun-ha, who was next to him, tilted his head and chewed a kiwi.
“Kiseok.”
“yes.”
“But why are the snacks for all three of us different?”
“You idiot. I don’t know that, so I’m asking. That’s because there are many types.”
Jang Ki-young responded to Kwon Jun-ha’s question.
“That’s the same. Even if you eat snacks, it’s good to eat something that’s good for your body. Should I say eat pheasant and eat its eggs?”
“Eat pheasant and eat its eggs?”
“yes.”
Choi Ki-seok nodded and continued speaking.
“Brother Kiyoung, I gave him nuts because they help with blood vessels, brother Junha has high blood pressure, so I gave him kiwi, and brother Jinwoong has constipation, so I gave him sweet potatoes.”
The three middle-aged people looked stunned at Choi Ki-seok’s sharp words.
Aren’t snacks something you eat when you’re hungry?
However, Choi Ki-seok thought about his health and packed snacks.
“After all, a medical student is a medical student.”
“Our country’s medical field is bright. Bright.”
Choi Ki-seok just laughed at the compliments from the three people.
After snack time, free time came.
Choi Ki-seok watched a medical drama on his cell phone while leaning on the bed.
When people watch medical dramas, they say a lot about fantasy and emotional appeal. But very occasionally, something more touching and fantastic happens in reality than in a drama.
Because it is people who create miracles.
While watching a drama for a while.
Choi Ki-seok found Yoon Moon-jae fidgeting.
Moonjae Yoon’s legs were shaking as he walked to and from the hospital room, like a puppy that wanted to poop.
I knew the reason well, so I got up from my seat.
“older brother.”
“Uh. Why?”
“Are you worried about the surgery tomorrow?”
When Choi Ki-seok touched the affected area, Yoon Moon-jae’s body stiffened like a stone.
“Well. Well… I guess so. I don’t think so.”
Moonjae Yoon gave an unusually ambiguous answer.
“Don’t worry too much.”
“······.”
“The thoracic surgery department here at Jinseong University is one of the top five places in Korea. And I have had surgery myself, so I know how you feel.”
Choi Ki-seok continued speaking slowly.
“Are you worried that you might die if the surgery goes wrong and what might happen if the anesthesia wears off midway?”
“that’s right!”
Moonjae Yoon nodded vigorously at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
“It’s not a surgery that will fail, and waking up during anesthesia is not a common occurrence. So, relax.”
“Is that really true?”
“If your heart doesn’t calm down, think of me. I can break someone else’s heart and still feel fine.”
“From what I heard, that’s also true.”
Yoon Moon-jae’s face slowly relaxed.
But that’s the moment.
Tiring!

[Do you want to use the encouragement skill?]
Ki-Seok Choi decided to use the skill. Then his right hand moved of its own accord and wrapped around Moonjae Yoon’s hand.
“Everything will be okay.”
Even his mouth moved at will.
In addition, the white light visible only to Choi Ki-seok enveloped Yoon Moon-jae.
[The emotions of the person receiving encouragement brighten.]
[Immunity resistance regeneration increases slightly.]
[An additional bonus has been obtained. The will to live becomes stronger.]
“Tch. It wasn’t a big surgery, but I was scared for no reason. Thank you, Ki-seok.”
Moonjae Yoon smiled brightly and tapped Kiseok Choi on the shoulder. Then he got up from the bed and playfully punched Jang Ki-young’s side in the bed next to him.
“Hey, follow me to the break room. Let’s play a game of chess.”
“You’re watching TV right now.”
“Baby. I fell asleep.”
Jang Ki-young was shocked by Yoon Moon-jae’s words.
The hospital room became quiet as the two people went to the lounge.
‘This is surprising.’
Choi Ki-seok tilted his head.
I thought I would gain skills only if I practiced medicine. But that was a big mistake.
This is because I just gained the encouragement skill.
The way skills are created is much more comprehensive than we thought.
Ki-Seok Choi looked at his condition through the eyes of Hippocrates.

I was happy to see that I had more skills than I expected.
Choi Ki-seok left the hospital room and drank water in the hallway. On the way, I ran into Lee Mi-ae coming from the opposite direction.
Should I call it the sadness of an acting nurse?
A gloomy gray energy seemed to flow around Lee Mi-ae’s body.
“hello.”
Choi Ki-seok greeted and used encouragement.
This time, my body moved on its own.
The problem is that the degree of arbitrary movement is much more severe than before.
Without realizing it, Choi Ki-seok gave a refreshing wink with his left eye and drew a cute V-shape with his right hand.
It’s like a male idol showing cuteness.
[Fatal encouragement occurs!]
[Immune resistance and regeneration power increase significantly.]
“Fuhuhuhu. Mr. Kiseok. What is that all of a sudden?”
A smile bloomed on Lee Mi-ae’s face.
“Ah…it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
Choi Ki-seok returned to the hospital room like lightning and covered himself with blankets.
The bright red face did not go down easily.
“Ah… this is too fatal.”
