As if we never existed,
• EP 01



Move aside! It's a gunshot victim!

The sight of a woman lying on a patient transport cart bleeding and medical staff running frantically while sweating looked critical to anyone.


민 윤 기
Nurse Kim, what's wrong?

A man who appears to be a doctor stands next to the transport cart and asks the nurse.

“Professor..! I’ve confirmed this patient has a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and the bleeding is so severe right now that I think we need to move them to emergency position immediately!”

*(Bloating): Bleeding / *(Emergency OP): Emergency surgery


민 윤 기
Okay, I'll go in for the surgery. Nurse Kim, you hurry up and contact any professor to reserve an operating room. The surgery will begin in exactly 10 minutes.

The nurse signaled that she understood the man's words and ran off with hurried steps, and the man also disappeared from the lobby with a completely different gait than before.

rattle

Professor Min has arrived. We will begin the surgery.


I wondered how much time had passed; judging by the light streaming through the window, it had already been bright for a long time.


전 정 국
Lieutenant Kim Tae-hyung, it has been 8 hours since the Captain went into surgery. Are you sure he is okay?


김 태 형
It's okay. You know the Captain isn't that weak.


전 정 국
Still, I'm a bit worried.

Did my sincerity reach them? The red light, which seemed to have no intention of going out, went out, and the operating room door opened.


민 윤 기
Ah, .. Are you by any chance the guardian of patient Kim Yeo-ju?


전 정 국
(Suddenly standing up) Ah, yes! We are Captain Kim Yeo-ju's guardians.


김 태 형
How was it? Did the surgery go well?


민 윤 기
Yes, it took quite a while because the bullet was lodged so deep, but the surgery was completed safely. It looks like it will take about 5 minutes to transfer him to the ICU, so you can go there in advance.


민 윤 기
For more details, I think you can ask Nurse Kim here.

간호사
I'll give you the details over there in the lobby! Both of you, please just follow me.

The man briefly bowed his head, took off his robe, tossed it into the laundry basket, and trudged away.

-dump

A man who sits down as if collapsing into a chair as soon as he enters the office


박 지 민
Why did it end so late?


민 윤 기
It was a patient brought in with a gunshot wound. It wasn't a particularly difficult surgery, but the bullet was too deep and there was some damage to surrounding organs, so... it took a while.

I could tell what the man's face looked like as he spoke while wiping his face with his hands, without him having to explain it in words.


박 지 민
So, when are you planning to get off work?


민 윤 기
I have to go to that patient's room later to check on their condition, and since I have another surgery at 4, I guess I'll get off work around 8.


민 윤 기
Anyway, don't you have anything to do today?


박 지 민
I have to go for trachyostomy surgery at 3 today.

*(Trachiostomy): The act of opening the bronchus out of the throat to secure the airway through a tracheostomy.


민 윤 기
Ah, that patient who was brought in yesterday morning?


박 지 민
Uh, that patient was originally scheduled to be treated by the GS department, but after doing the tests, they consulted and said they needed staff, so I decided to handle it.

*(Consult): Consultation; a specialist from another department comes to provide care upon request / *(Gs): General Surgery / *(Staff): Specialists or professors from each department


민 윤 기
Come to think of it, how can they do that surgery at GS? By the way, did Seokjin hyung come to work today? I didn't think he was on the Ped.

*(PED) : Pediatrics


박 지 민
If they aren't in Ped, they are likely in surgery or in the cafeteria.


박 지 민
But is it really okay for you to be chatting like this right now? Don't you need to go see the patient?


민 윤 기
I have to go, .. I have to go


박 지 민
Hey, if you're tired, should I just go check it out?


민 윤 기
Never mind, it's my patient, so I should go... Oh, and the hospital director asked me to come in briefly at 1.


박 지 민
Why, Hospital Director? Did we cause some trouble?


민 윤 기
I don't know, but anyway, don't forget to come on time.


박 지 민
okay, -

Knock knock -

Yes, please come in.


민 윤 기
Hello, I am Dr. Min Yoon-gi, the doctor who performed patient Kim Yeo-ju's surgery today.


김 여 주
Ah, hello.


전 정 국
Ah, hello!


김 태 형
Did you come to check the condition?


민 윤 기
Yes, first of all, are you feeling okay right now?


김 여 주
Yes, it's fine.


민 윤 기
Okay, first of all, the bullet was quite deep, so the surgery took a while, but it went well. You should avoid strenuous exercise for the time being. Also, you need to come in sometime this week to disinfect the wound. When would you be available?


김 여 주
May I come tomorrow? I'm being deployed on Saturday, so tomorrow is the only time I have available.


민 윤 기
Okay, then I'll make a reservation for you tomorrow at 1 o'clock. Well then, please get some good rest.



민 윤 기
I'm exhausted to death, so why is the hospital director calling me and making such a fuss? Seriously.


김 석 진
Huh? Yoongi,


민 윤 기
What? What brings you here?


김 석 진
Because I was called by the hospital director, what about you?


민 윤 기
I also came because the hospital director called.


박 지 민
Uh, bro - !!


김 석 진
Oh, Jimin, you're here... Ah, wait, you're not getting a call from the hospital director, are you?


박 지 민
What? Did you come because of a call too, bro?


민 윤 기
It looks like all the professors from every department have gathered here.


김 석 진
What on earth is going on that you're calling everyone and making such a fuss?


민 윤 기
I know, right? Let's go inside first.

Knock knock -

Come in,


민 윤 기
Hello, Hospital Director.


박 지 민
Oh, Ms. Baek Hee-jin, you're here too.


백 희 진
Hello Professor

병원장
First, let's all take our seats and start.

병원장
Hey, do you guys know what Ukira is?


민 윤 기
If it's Uki, isn't that a country over there, either in Islam or Africa or somewhere in that region?

병원장
Oh right, that's correct. The military unit in Ukira asked our hospital to send medical personnel.

병원장
So, I'd like the four of you to go. What do you think?

I am pretending to ask out of politeness, but this is actually tacit coercion.


박 지 민
The hospital director told me to go, so I guess I have to.

병원장
So, let's assume Professor Park is going. Then, what do you plan to do with the rest?


백 희 진
I'm going to do something good, so of course I should go.


김 석 진
I have to go. It's a request from the hospital director.

병원장
Only Professor Min remains. Are you going or not?


민 윤 기
What can I do? I have to go.

병원장
Okay, let's consider everything decided then! The flight is this Saturday, so make sure you're all ready by tomorrow.


박 지 민
This Saturday? Wait, then how are all the surgeries going to be done?

병원장
I've taken care of everything, so don't worry and go ahead.

병원장
Well then, I have an appointment, so I'll be going now.

stomp, stomp

Squeak, - Bang


김 석 진
This is kind of mind-boggling...?


박 지 민
Fuck, seriously... talking like that is basically telling me to just shut up and leave.


백 희 진
Well, it doesn't matter to me. I'll just go there and rest a bit. I'm going to volunteer anyway.


김 석 진
Oh, come on, Heejin, you're so thoughtless, right?


백 희 진
It seems like that place would be better than here. Well then, I'll be going now.



민 윤 기
I was wondering why that bastard was calling. Never mind. I have to go anyway, so let's just think of it positively.


박 지 민
You went crazy because you couldn't sleep, right?


민 윤 기
Yeah, I must have finally lost my mind. I'm leaving first. I have surgery today, so I should get some sleep now.



The next morning dawned. It's a relief that I was able to leave work early yesterday thanks to the surgery finishing quickly. If I had left just a little later, I wouldn't have been able to come to work today.


민 윤 기
What is that?

A banner hanging in the middle of the hospital lobby,

(Congratulations) Samjin University Hospital Ukira Volunteer Deployment (Congratulations)


민 윤 기
You've really nailed it down and said you're leaving.

간호사
Huh? Professor Min!


민 윤 기
Uh, Nurse Kim

간호사
I heard you're going on a deployment, Professor.


민 윤 기
Ah, somehow it just turned out that way.

간호사
Then aren't you leaving tomorrow? If you're leaving tomorrow, why did you come to the hospital today?


민 윤 기
I came in today to disinfect a patient, so I'm just going to do that and then go home.

간호사
Ah, I see. Then today is the last day. Professor, have a safe trip!


민 윤 기
Oh yeah, thanks.

I was wondering how everyone knew about the deployment, but it turns out they all found out because of that banner. I guess it would be strange not to know, considering it was hung up in such huge letters.




민 윤 기
Hello, Yeoju.


김 여 주
hello,


민 윤 기
How did you feel last night? Were you in any pain?


김 여 주
Yes, it was fine.


민 윤 기
Okay, then I'll start disinfecting.


민 윤 기
Ah, first, you need to lift your clothes up a bit to disinfect them.


김 여 주
Ah, yes.

- Swoosh,


민 윤 기
The wound is deeper than I thought, so disinfecting it might be a bit painful.


Even though the disinfection is quite painful, seeing him not make a single sound of pain, he really is a soldier.


민 윤 기
You said he was a soldier, right?


김 여 주
Yes, that is correct.

But maybe because he's a soldier, he has so many scars on his body. It looks like some of them weren't even treated.


민 윤 기
The disinfection is finished now, and even though you won't be able to come to the hospital from now on, you must take proper care of yourself.


민 윤 기
I will give you the medical certificate, so please go to the pharmacy on the first floor and pick up the ointment.


김 여 주
all right


민 윤 기
Well then, I'll be heading off now. Please take care.


Clothes scattered all over the place, and a suitcase wide open


민 윤 기
How should I pack this?

I've been studying all my life since middle school and haven't been on a single overseas trip, so I have no idea how to pack.


민 윤 기
Do I just need to pack some underwear and spare clothes?


민 윤 기
Ah, I don't know, I'll just pack whatever.

I picked up the clothes I saw one by one, tossed them onto the carrier, and slumped onto the sofa.


민 윤 기
Thanks to that bastard hospital director, I even went on an overseas trip for the first time in 29 years... sigh...

But maybe because I was so tired, I only intended to lie down for a moment, but I fell asleep right away.

When I opened my eyes, the next morning had dawned, and there were as many as three missed calls.

오전 7:10
- Ding

Ding -


민 윤 기
- hello,


박 지 민
- Hey, are you saying hello right now? We were told to gather by the 30s, but it's only the 10s.


민 윤 기
- ... Hey, sorry. I'll be right there. I really will be right there. Just wait 10 minutes.


박 지 민
- Hurry up, you bastard. You're so damn slow...

Drip -


민 윤 기
I'm going crazy, this is insane

I grabbed my suitcase and rushed out after just roughly washing my face and brushing my teeth.


When I arrived at the airport, there was the banner I had seen at the hospital yesterday morning, and our hospital staff were standing underneath it.


민 윤 기
Hey, Park Jimin -


박 지 민
Even the latecomers have arrived, so everyone is here, right?


김 석 진
We're all here. Look, Ms. Baek Hee-jin is here too.



백 희 진
I'm sorry - I'm a little late, aren't I?

An outfit that doesn't suit where we are going at all.


김 석 진
It seems like Ms. Heejin really thinks she's going on vacation.


백 희 진
Since you're going anyway, it's better to wear pretty clothes.

He made a face as if he really couldn't understand what she was saying, and continued the conversation.


김 석 진
Just then, everyone arrived.


김 석 진
Those are soldiers from Ukira, and they came to pick us up.

At the mention of soldiers arriving, I looked in that direction, and strangely, someone who looked familiar was standing there.


민 윤 기
uh, ... ?
