Once a year, the whole nation holds its breath for the exam - the College Scholastic Aptitude Test (School Scholastic Aptitude Test).
Today is that day, and until just yesterday I was a third-year high school student preparing for entrance exams.
Since elementary school, I have been preparing for this day.
I have dedicated my life solely to studying.
I was more obsessed with grades than anyone else around me.
There was no one to support me.
friend?
I didn't have that kind of luxury.
A rivalry relationship.
Although they say they are "good competitors" in principle,
Deep down, everyone envies someone and suffers from feelings of inferiority.
That's what I believed.
And then he finished what the public called "the worst of all time."
On the way home, looking up at the sunset-tinted sky,
I started marking myself.
The result was... full marks.
This feat is something only a few people can achieve each year.
I accomplished it.
It was a coveted ticket to the top medical school in the country.
Even after entering medical school, I continued to study.
He never fails any class and always gets top grades.
And today,
I started at this hospital as a first-year thoracic surgery resident.
On the first day, I was standing in front of a professor.
"Professor, this is Yoon So Ah, a first year resident."
"Oh, sit down."
"I was told that starting today, I will be undergoing training under the professor's guidance."
"So? Why did you choose thoracic surgery?"
"...I came here for a reason."
"Is that all? Do you think you can get by with that?"
"When it comes to effort, I'm better than anyone else."
"That's something everyone here can say."
"Since I was in elementary school, I've been coming here just to this place."
"...So what?
I don't look at the process, I look at the results."
"I'm confident in my abilities."
"If my resident is incompetent, then he's not my resident."
So you should be a "can-do" person.
"I entered the school at the top of my grade, got all A's,
He was hired by this hospital immediately after graduation, the youngest person ever to do so..."
"If you're this smart, you know what I'm talking about, right?"
"...Yes. I understand."
“Okay, well then, get going.
I'm tired."
Something caught my attention.
Why this professor, of all people?
The name is Kim Seokjin.
The most talented and feared professor in the hospital.
Although I have knowledge and experience,
He is known among residents as "someone you don't want to get close to."
The profession of "doctor" is tough enough.
But will she be able to survive under his guidance?
To be honest, I had no confidence.
