"Ah... oh my..."
The female protagonist, who woke up to the sound of the alarm indicating 5 a.m., stretched and raised her upper body.
I took my hand away from my eyes and looked around. I saw gray-toned wallpaper, clothes hung in different colors and materials, and a neat table and dressing table that reflected her personality.
우여주
"... I guess he had an instinct to return home."
I only remember drinking about three bottles of soju last night.
The female protagonist was getting ready to go to work, thinking that nothing special had happened, as she was lying comfortably on the bed with both feet up.
우여주
“.......”
I was in the middle of typing on the keyboard,
In the room where only the humming of the computer was heard, a short 'tiring' sound was heard.
I turned on my phone with my eyes fixed on the computer and saw a text message from an unknown person.
[Have you had a hangover? If not, come with me.]
우여주
"...didn't I block spam?"
The female protagonist, who thought she was receiving all sorts of scam texts, turned her phone over and looked away.
우여주
“I need to get over my hangover..”
She looked at her watch, confirmed that it was 11 o'clock, and headed to the noodle restaurant she always went to.
Her go-to hangover cure after a night of drinking was always bean sprout soup. Clean and refreshing, just like her.
"The bean sprout soup you ordered is here."
A large bowl of hot soup was placed on each table, along with three separate plates containing kimchi, quail eggs, and seasoned bean sprouts.
The female protagonist, who smiled with satisfaction after eating a spoonful of bean sprout soup, dipped her rice in the soup.
Tiring-tiring-
The moment the spoon with rice, soup, and kimchi reached my mouth, the phone rang and I had no choice but to put it back down.
"Professor, patient Jeong Jin-ho's sutures in room 302 have come undone. I think he'll need to undergo another surgery."
우여주
-“Call the operating room to open, I’m on my way now.”
우여주
"Auntie, I'll leave the money here."
She hung up the phone and stormed out of the restaurant.
On the empty table, only the bean sprout soup was getting cold.

김 간호사
"Did you drink yesterday?"
우여주
"Yes, about three bottles of soju."
김 간호사
"You don't need to do any hangover cure?"
It was Nurse Kim who approached the female protagonist who was putting coins into a vending machine while wearing surgical gowns.
Nurse Kim gasped at her words that she hadn't recovered from her hangover and checked her wrist. The hour hand on the watch on her wrist was already past three.
우여주
"I went to a restaurant and had an emergency, so I just left and couldn't even eat."
After giving Vita 500 instead of honey water to Nurse Kim, he finally drew his own honey water.
우여주
"You probably couldn't sleep last night because of your shift. Drink this."
김 간호사
"Thank you, I will enjoy my drink."
우여주
"Okay, take a break and do it."
As Nurse Kim left, the female lead was leaning against the window frame in the long hallway.
As I was absentmindedly swallowing the honey water flowing down my throat without thinking, the phone rang in my coat pocket.
우여주
-"Yes, hello."
-"Why are you ignoring my calls?"
우여주
-"....Huh? Who are you?"
-"Did you receive it without even checking the name or did you not remember me?"
I checked the caller ID by putting the phone to my ear as he muttered something sad.
우여주
-"Vampire friend...?"
-"Judging by your reaction, it seems like you don't remember. Don't you even remember being drunk last night, Miss?"
우여주
-"...I remember... that's what I remember."
-"But don't you remember the person you were talking to in front of the convenience store?"
She was startled by him knowing her whereabouts yesterday, and her brow furrowed as she recalled yesterday.
Ah, I let out a stupid sigh as if I just remembered.
우여주
-"Please forget about yesterday."
"You're venting your frustrations, and I'm wasting my time because of you. If this keeps up, I'll be so wronged."
There was a hint of slyness in his voice as he continued to speak.
우여주
-"I'm sorry, what can I do for you?"
-"hmm-"
After a brief pause, as if enjoying the situation, he soon opened his mouth.
-“Just eat with me three times.”
-“How about one of them today?”
우여주
-"Yeah, well... let's do that."
-"Okay. Then, I'll pick you up."
우여주
-"Right now?"
-"Come down when you have time, I'll wait downstairs."
And then, instead of the attractive low-pitched tones, the phone suddenly had a cold, mechanical sound.
Doo- doo- doo-
After listening to the constant mechanical sound, the female protagonist burst into laughter.
I ended up having a meal with someone whose name I didn't even know, but whose only memory I had was that he listened to my lament.
She felt a bit out of place, but she went down to the first floor.
As she was walking out the main entrance on the first floor and looking around, an expensive car stopped at a glance.
And then bang bang - the cracker rang out.
“Hello, do you remember my face?”
The passenger window slowly rolled down and a man greeted me with one hand on the steering wheel.
우여주
“.......”
“You’re not the type of face that can be easily forgotten no matter where you go.”
우여주
“.........”
Yeah, he wasn't just any guy, he was a damn handsome guy.
A handsome man who you would remember even if you just passed him by in Hongdae on a Friday night.
“....Aren’t you going? I’m hungry.”
우여주
“...Oh, I’m sorry. Let’s go.”
She, too, was momentarily distracted by his striking beauty, but then came back to her senses at the sound of his voice.
