We’re the kind of people who have to run off for emergency calls even when we’re just having a meal outside, and the kind who drop everything and sprint the moment a Code Blue goes off, even if we were only having coffee.
I know because I’m a doctor too.
It’s not like I’m blaming you for being busy, sunbae.”
Looking up at Eun-gyeol with trembling eyes, Juwon continued acting in a voice choked with tears.
Although she belonged to cardiothoracic surgery and made a living repairing other people’s hearts, Cha Kang-woo was a character so cold and blunt that there were even jokes going around that his own heart must have turned to steel.
This was the scene where the emotions of Han Ju-young, who had admired and loved him for so long, finally erupted as if bursting through a dam.
“It’s just that… what I wanted from you was only… a very tiny fragment of your heart.
Amid the countless patients constantly pouring in, the surgeries packed tightly across the entire month, and all the things you have to carry and accomplish, I thought it would be nice if someone like me could exist in your head, even if only as a single fragment.”
Tears spilled freely from Juwon’s large eyes.
It was a scene so pitiful it made the viewer’s heart ache.
“Was that really such a big wish?
Was I… being too greedy again?”
At some point, all the staff and actors on set were holding their breath, completely focused on the scene.
After pouring out her confession in a trembling voice, she was unable to contain her surging emotions and abruptly turned away.
At that moment, Eun-gyeol’s large hand caught her shoulder.
“Han Ju-young.”
The instant Eun-gyeol’s low voice quietly resonated across the set, an inexplicable shiver ran through everyone’s bodies.
“…I’m sorry.”
With the apology, Eun-gyeol gently wrapped his arms around Juwon from behind.
Juwon’s steps, which had been trying to move away through falling tears, froze in place.
For the first time, cracks appeared on Eun-gyeol’s face, which had always been cold as ice within the story.
“I never meant to hurt you.
And you’re not being greedy.”
“…Sunbae.”
Slowly, Eun-gyeol tilted his head.
He gently leaned his face toward Juwon’s head resting beneath his chin.
That her feelings had never been one-sided, that no matter when she had started liking him, he had liked Ju-young even before she had come to know him at all—
It was time to finally speak the words that compressed all of those emotions.
“Ju-young, I…”
The weight carried by each word, the carefully measured silences placed delicately between them, and the emotional turmoil toward a junior who had once merely been precious, but who now confessed that she saw him as a man—
“I was the one who started first.”
The line Eun-gyeol had studied, interpreted, agonized over, and meticulously designed dozens, even hundreds of times was finally spoken aloud through his lips.
Before he knew it, Han-geon was watching the scene so immersed that he had forgotten even how to breathe.
Eun-gyeol’s voice, which had been blunt throughout the drama, was now soaked with a warmth and texture never seen before.
Juwon, her eyes trembling, turned within Eun-gyeol’s arms.
At that moment, the director’s shout of “Cut!” rang out.
“Wow, that was great from both of you just now.
Alright, let’s go again.
Just like that.
Exactly like that!”
The director raised his thumb with a satisfied expression.
With only the camera and angles changed, the same scene was repeated once more.
Unlike the relaxed expression he had worn while smiling at Han-geon just moments earlier, Eun-gyeol was now completely immersed in his acting.
No—
He was immersed entirely in Juwon standing before his eyes.
“…..”
Han-geon, who had been absentmindedly thinking that far, widened his eyes.
Before he realized it, rather than admiring Eun-gyeol’s delicate acting, his gaze had lingered on Eun-gyeol’s hand where it touched Juwon, and on the eyes filled with deep emotion that were fixed on her.
And of course, Han-geon immediately reflected on himself.
It was an unbearably childish thought.
He had watched Eun-gyeol act countless times before, but this was the first time he had ever felt something like this, and it left him flustered.
‘Get a grip.’
Han-geon clenched and unclenched his fist, trying to rein in his emotions.
He had to cut this childish feeling off immediately, before it could grow any further.
Anyone could see how unbecoming it was.
If he was a manager, he needed to act and think like one, and he had nearly—
He had nearly made a mistake too embarrassing to ever speak of.
This isn’t why you decided to become a manager.
Scolding himself more harshly on purpose, Han-geon tried desperately to shake the thoughts away.
This isn’t why you decided to become a manager.
Repeating it again, he forced himself to push the thoughts aside.
“I’m sorry… I never meant to hurt you.”
Eun-gyeol’s voice once again echoed across the set.
Han-geon bit down lightly on his lower lip and lowered his gaze.
Despite having just scolded himself moments ago, he couldn’t ignore the wave rising in his heart again.
In Season 1, the focus had been more on cases involving fellow residents, professors, and patients rather than a romance line with Juwon, and because of that, Han-geon also knew how much viewers were anticipating the two of them as a couple in Season 2.
So until right before filming this scene, he had only thought that he needed to manage Eun-gyeol’s condition carefully so his emotions wouldn’t be shaken too much.
And yet—
Suddenly, a single line written on tomorrow’s shooting schedule burned itself clearly into his mind.
No. 20, 03–07, E, Ju-young – Kang-woo First Kiss Scene.
It felt as if darkness suddenly fell before his eyes.
Standing there with a blank expression, Han-geon snapped out of his thoughts at the director’s voice calling out, “Cut!
Great work today, everyone.”
He saw Eun-gyeol walking toward him with a bright smile.
It was a face so clear and innocent that it was hard to believe he had just delivered such an absorbing performance.
As soon as their eyes met, the worries from moments earlier quickly vanished from Han-geon’s mind.
No.
He forced them to vanish.
“Good work, Eun-gyeol.”
“…You too.
You worked hard.”
With eyes sweet enough to make it seem like he wanted to pull him into an embrace and kiss him on the spot, Eun-gyeol brushed Han-geon’s shoulder.
Then he grabbed Han-geon’s wrist, which had been trying to greet each staff member one by one, and dragged him toward the van.
“Come on.
Let’s go back to the hotel.
Quickly.”
“Hey, at least let me say goodbye to people—”
“I’m exhausted right now.
I need to manage my condition if I’m filming tomorrow.
Okay?
Hurry.”
With his eyebrows drooping pitifully as he whined in that pretty face, there was no way to resist him.
In the end, after half-heartedly finishing his greetings, Han-geon was practically shoved into the van.
“I’ll drive.
You said you were tired.”
“It’s right around the corner.”
Gripping the steering wheel, Eun-gyeol looked perfectly fine, as if he had never complained about his condition at all.
It seemed Han-geon had been fooled.
Ignoring Han-geon’s side-eye, Eun-gyeol hummed as he drove them to the hotel, parked swiftly with flawless skill, and urgently pulled Han-geon along.
They took the elevator in the hotel lobby and pressed the familiar floor number.
Room 1501.
The room the two of them used to share.
When filming Season 2 alone, Eun-gyeol had continued commuting by car even when it was far away, but the moment Han-geon joined as his manager, he immediately requested accommodations.
Now they stayed at their family home with Eun-han and their parents only on weekends, and spent weekdays at the hotel.
For Han-geon as well, it was something he willingly agreed to for the sake of Eun-gyeol’s condition.
When the door opened, a neatly organized room came into view.
Haah.
Han-geon let out a satisfied breath.
Just returning to the room they shared made the tension already stored in his body melt away, leaving him pleasantly drained.
“You should shower fir—”
Before he could finish speaking, Eun-gyeol lunged at him.
Han-geon’s body, which had been perched on the bed, collapsed helplessly.
With his heavy weight pressing down, Eun-gyeol attacked him recklessly, planting rapid kisses on his cheeks, lips, and nape.
“Ha, ugh, that… tickles.”
“I’ve been dying all day wanting to do this, Han-geon…”
“O-okay, I get it, so let me go wash up first…
I am all sweaty.”
“I even like your sweat smell.
Mixed with your pheromones, it’s just sweet.”
No matter what he said, Eun-gyeol wouldn’t budge.
He licked along Han-geon’s collarbone and neck, peppering him with kisses, and their lower bodies were already growing heavy where they touched.
Realizing he couldn’t push away someone who was already starting to lose his rationality, Han-geon hurriedly made a suggestion.
“Th-then let’s shower together.
Okay?
I want to wash too.”
“Haah…”
Regret clung thickly to the breath laced with heavy pheromones.
Still, Eun-gyeol no longer acted completely on his own impulses.
With a face dripping with reluctance, he finally released Han-geon’s wrist.
The two of them stripped off the clothes they were wearing and headed to the bathroom.
With bodies soaked in sweat from moving all day, it wasn’t exactly the most appealing option, but it was still better than just giving in right away.
“Ugh, haah…”
“Han-geon…”
The moment the water started running, Eun-gyeol pressed up against him from behind and began kneading his chest.
When the thick sigh brushed against the back of his neck, Han-geon’s waist reflexively tensed.
Long arms wrapped tightly around his waist.
Water streamed down between their hot bodies, making wet, slick sounds.
“I just want to spend the whole day like this with you.”
Murmuring like a complaint, Eun-gyeol pressed his lips to the back of Han-geon’s neck.
The embarrassing sound of kissing echoed through the humid bathroom.
Mmm.
Letting out a low groan as if his throat vibrated, Eun-gyeol extended his tongue and slowly licked up along the rim of Han-geon’s ear.
Not stopping there, he gently bit down on the earlobe while his hand toyed with a nipple.
The soft, pliant bud stiffened upright in just a few strokes of Eun-gyeol’s fingers.
