Episode 600
Seo In-young was a figure in the ‘industry’ and at the same time a doctor with a deep relationship with Lee Dang, but she said that did not mean she only did freelance work. Dr. Seo In-young had her own hospital.
When I looked it up in person, it wasn’t a very big hospital.
‘Well, if it was an organized hospital like Ha Seong-yoon, I wouldn’t have been able to work in the industry or this party. There will be no excuses for my strangely frequent business trips.’
The hospital owned by Seo In-young seemed to have a solid structure for its small size, but there was a sense of incongruity somewhere. Most of the medical staff at this hospital, including Seo In-young, were probably related to the industry.
“Do you remember the last time I got hurt by Seong Dae-young?”
“…Oh yes, of course I remember. Of course, I remembered information about my patients.”
“You are kind even though I am already a discharged patient.”
“Well… that’s a doctor’s job.”
Although wary and suspicious of why Director Lee Jae-heon visited this hospital, Seo In-young timidly continued what she was saying.
‘It doesn’t seem like it’s particularly candy-coated.’
Although he was a coward to the point that his personality could be considered the complete opposite of Ha Seong-yoon’s, he had a podium in a strange place, including the fact that he was glaring at Lee Jae-hyung, who was beating me, a patient, the other day. His clear work ethic strangely reminded me of Ha Seong-yoon.
“Then there will be no problem for me, a patient, to visit your hospital.”
So it was more fun.
“Especially if you care about me. “Isn’t that right?”
“…yes? Oh, of course. Patients need no other reason than pain to visit the hospital. Moreover, I also repaired Jaeheon Lee’s ankle, so there is no problem in visiting me, the doctor who initially treated the injury. “Many patients do that.”
“For you to say that, I think you were quite surprised when I came.”
“Well… let’s sit down and talk first.”
Seo In-young glanced at Lee Jae-heon’s ankle, perhaps paying attention to the comment, ‘My ankle hurts.’
‘It’s a lie.’
An injury of this magnitude did not bother Lee Jae-heon much. How would he have been active in the underworld if he was so distracted by the pain of his ankle injury in the first place?
‘Are you pretending not to know when you know, or are you doing this because you really don’t know?…’
Lee Jae-heon slowly analyzed Dr. Seo In-young. Meanwhile, I naturally sat down on the small chair that Seo In-young had recommended, and Seo In-young, who was sitting in front of the monitor desk, also seemed to be analyzing Lee Jae-heon.
“Would you like to take a look at your ankle?”
“please.”
“I’ll walk up to my calves for a moment.”
Perhaps because of her strong ego as a doctor, Seo In-young focused entirely on his ankle, unlike how she had been wary and concerned about Lee Jae-heon. Seo In-young, who was checking the extent of the swelling, soon raised her head.
“You seem to be healing well because you have good recovery ability, but the swelling is still severe. “Have you had your bones and joints checked at the hospital before coming here?”
“no.”
“Then it would be a good idea to check. As Mr. Lee Jae-heon knows, at that time, his ankle received a fairly large impact, which put a lot of strain on his bones and joints… He will probably still have some aftereffects in the future. “You may feel a little unstable when walking, but if it bothers you, I recommend finding a hospital you like and receiving rehabilitation treatment.”
“Do I need rehabilitation treatment for just a sprained ankle?”
“Well…”
Seo In-young looked at Lee Jae-heon with a look on her face that said she had a lot to say and continued.
“Jaeheon Lee’s injury is not at the level of a ‘sprain’…”
“Is that so?”
It seems that he may have calmed down by interrupting the conversation once in a while, but he may have been reminded of the gap between himself and Lee Jae-heon, or it may have simply been out of consideration for the patient. Jaeheon Lee just smiled at Seo Inyoung.
At that laugh, Seo In-young paused for a moment and then opened her mouth again.
“…I heard a lot from Kwon Yeon-hee that Lee Jae-heon is insensitive to pain. I think Jae-heon Lee also had a slightly different perspective on injuries, but at the time, Jae-heon Lee’s ankle was… um… broken in a way that no human could handle. “It was a lot of strain, and my ankles are a bit weak, so there’s a high chance that I’ll have aftereffects.”
“Yes, I see.”
“So, it would be nice if you could take care of it on a regular basis. Do you have a doctor you keep at home?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Then it would be a good idea to visit the nearby hospital often.”
“Is it difficult for our teacher Seo In-young to look after you?”
“yes yes?”
“Because the nuance has been telling me to go to another hospital since a while ago.”
Jaeheon Lee smiled brightly.
“Am I that scared?”
“yes? No, yes? No, that’s…”
“I was joking.”
“…I see.”
Seo In-young, who was sweating coldly, continued speaking as if making excuses.
“I was just wondering why Jaeheon Lee had to come to a hospital so far away. Even though Lee Jae-heon was surprised when he first visited here, he didn’t have any bad intentions.”
“I understand.”
“I believe there was a doctor named Ha Seong-yoon near Lee Jae-heon’s home.”
“Is that what employee Kwon Yeon-hee also said?”
“Swing. When I heard it, it was a general hospital. “The equipment provided is also good.”
So, in short, the question was, ‘Why did you come here instead of going to a larger, closer hospital with a close doctor?’ Lee Jae-heon laughed with insignificant playfulness.
“I am currently married to Ha Seong-yoon.”
“yes?”
“Oh, to be exact, it’s not just me. I don’t know why, but Teacher Ha Seong-yoon suddenly has more work to do these days. “I don’t know what it was, but I think we made a very big mistake.”
“Uh…”
“In such a situation, there is a need for both sides to save face and receive treatment in person. Shouldn’t we give him time to think too?”
Nevertheless, of course, the question of why Seo In-young came to the hospital remains unanswered.
“Do you understand?”
“…Yes, yes.”
And this will lead to doubts about ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
Jaeheon Lee gently took the next step.
“You don’t have any questions.”
“…Me?”
“I don’t think you’re asking about ‘Lee Jae-heon.’”
Lee Jae-heon came to Seo In-young to shake him.
So, all of Lee Jae-heon’s actions were a warm-up to play with Seo In-young. Seo In-young was pleasantly caught up in Lee Jae-heon’s intentions.
“I… I didn’t think it was necessary for the doctor to ask about the patient’s circumstances.”
“You can ask. “You’re curious.”
“I’m not curious….”
“I’m curious exactly, but I guess I’m not asking because I think I’ll get tired if I know.”
“….”
“Teacher Seo In-young has a surprisingly wise side.”
Seo In-young’s fingertips as she rested on the desk trembled a little.
It was a signal that the initiative had completely passed to Lee Jae-heon, and after confirming this, Lee Jae-heon naturally increased his speed.
“When we first met, it was on the sea at night in the dark… It sounds very romantic when I say it like this, but it wasn’t really that kind of situation. “Isn’t that right?”
“….”
“Teacher Seo In-young clearly saw me killing someone at that time. “Once when I got angry because I couldn’t stand my brother’s pranks. After that, there was a scene where I played with a gift my brother gave me.”
“…I didn’t see anything. It’s so dark…”
“You’re doing well.”
He truly deserved Lee Dang’s love.
“But you don’t have to do that to me. “I am a child abandoned by this party anyway, and as such, I am not very close to the industry.”
“….”
“Let’s see… The second time was when I was beaten up by Seong Dae-young? Student Song In-myeong contacted Director Jeong Eun-woo, and the doctor that Director Jeong Eun-woo brought was Professor Seo In-young. Is that correct?”
“…you’re right.”
“You treated me back then too. thank you “My greeting was late.”
Lee Jae-heon’s tone became clearer, his presence grew bigger, and his gaze became more intense. Underneath the polite and firm voice, there was a hint of sarcasm yet smooth emotion.
Seo In-young continued to be eaten.
“And the third time… we met at a meeting. Neither of us knew we would meet like that. Yes?”
“…I was surprised too. At that time…”
“So I had doubts.”
Squeak…
Lee Jae-heon said, leaning forward.
“’Why don’t you ask?’”
“….”
“What kind of person do you think I am?”
On the sea at night, he must have looked like a crazy killer. He would have seemed like a poor patient in the car on the way to the hospital, and he would have seemed like an ordinary social adult at a group of survivors.
And now Lee Jae-heon was smiling a kind of smile that Seo In-young had never seen before.
“How did Seo In-young evaluate me?”
It was the smile that earned him the nickname ‘Viper’.
“….”
“….”
Give yourself some time to think.
Lean your body back to relieve pressure.
“…I was curious.”
It is said with pure curiosity and goodwill.
“And whatever you think of me, I will accommodate you to that.”
“…Did I do something… wrong?”
“Hey, you have time to be sarcastic. “As expected, you have a surprisingly good pulpit.”
“That’s not it…”
“It was a joke this time too.”
Play around with it to relieve some of the pressure.
I know that you can’t get a hold of a person with just pressure.
“I wanted to become friends with teacher Seo In-young.”
What he needs is always a stick and a carrot.
“Would you please do that?”
“…I will never cause any harm to Director Lee Jae-heon’s… colleagues. Really. No matter what happens, I won’t do that…”
Aha.
‘That’s how you judged my pressure.’
Seo In-young seemed to think that the reason ‘Lee Jae-heon’ appeared this way was ‘to protect the people he cares about from dangerous industry figures and at the same time be wary of industry figures.’
Then, Jaeheon Lee was good news. At the very least, doesn’t this mean that Seo In-young doesn’t think of Lee Jae-heon as an asshole? It may have been a conclusion filled with sympathy for the patient who was suffering all the time.
“….”
“Hey, I can promise you that.”
Seo In-young is more favorable to ‘Lee Jae-heon’ than expected.
If so, you can push further.
“Seo In-young.”
“…yes.”
“It all started with Song In-myeong.”
“…yes?”
“Listen.”
While Seo In-young does not deny the conclusion she arbitrarily reached, she embraces it at the same time and turns to the topic that Lee Jae-heon wants. Jaeheon Lee was thankful that things went easier than expected.
“After Song In-myeong, it was Seong Dae-young.”
“What do you mean….”
“The people I was looking for on purpose.”
“….”
“I wanted to deal with them somehow.”
“….”
“Even if I get a little sick and hurt, somehow.”
He tells Seo In-young some of the truth.
To improve your credibility and help you focus on what you are saying.
“Do you know how we first met Song In-myeong?”
“Oh no…”
“That bastard tried to kill my subordinates. To the point where he harmed my people, he even became jealous of me. “I decided I couldn’t leave it as is, and I had the power and wealth to catch Song In-myeong.”
“….”
“But it wasn’t as easy as I thought. “Song In-myeong had strong customers and sponsors, and the ‘industry’ that protected him was stronger than I thought… so I had no choice but to jump into it.”
“Why…”
“Because then my people will be a little safer.”
Seo In-young evaluated ‘Lee Jae-heon’ favorably.
The ‘Lee Jae-heon’ he thinks of is a person who has a strong attachment to his colleagues and knows how to care for and protect them. That was a separate story from the fact that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was a dangerous person who even had murder experience.
Lee Jae-heon planned to use it thoroughly.
“So I tried to catch Song In-myeong somehow… but I realized that the industry was bigger and more complicated than I imagined. My poor people were exposed to the writer in that place, and they didn’t even have the power to protect themselves. “Well, did you have the strength to run away?”
“…the industry will not be so thorough.”
“Next was Seong Dae-young. That person was obsessed with plaster statues. He was such a strange pervert, and the school where such a person was a teacher… was the school where the children I cared about attended. “I thought it was such a big ordeal for children who were only in high school.”
“….”
“So I approached Seong Dae-young.”
“….”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jaeheon Lee narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“I approached first.”
“…How…”
“Because only then can we kill Seong Dae-young.”
“….”
“At first, Song In-myeong. Second, Seong Dae-young….”
Take a break.
Lee Jae-heon lightly wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.
“Who will be next?”
“…Not me, right?”
“Oh my… of course not. “You can never do that.”
“Really…”
“Don’t think about it too complicated.”
“….”
“I just want to kill someone again.”
He holds Seo In-young in one hand and shakes her as he says.
“….”
“That’s why I… came here.”
Favor and fear can coexist.
Jaeheon Lee wanted that.
“Because I want to become friends.”
I laughed.
