Do you want to go out..!?

EP3. I miss you....

"Stop grumbling and come quickly."

After barely calming down my protruding lips, I went to the opposite side of the manager's side.

"Hey? Why don't you come quickly!?"

유여주

"S, I don't want to!!! I don't want to go! You liar!"

I don't know why I'm like this, but I can't just be a victim of the game of exaggeration and greed.

An eye for an eye, isn't it? With the mindset of "let's see what happens," I stood opposite him like a penguin, staring blankly at the manager.

"Hey. Yoo Yeo-ju. Are you kidding me!!!"

유여주

(shudder)

Uh... this isn't it... The childish manager suddenly regained his coolness, and my timid revenge was no longer a hit, but a foolish act.

"Can't you see the patient lying in front of you!? We need to get to him as quickly as possible. Are you kidding me?!!!!"

The manager, who seemed to be more angry than I expected, shouted at me with all the coldness he had, and the air froze to match.

유여주

"Uh, sorry.."

김태형

"Ha... Hurry up and stand next to me."

I approached him, trembling, and the bed stained with red blood was out of sight, so I was terrified by the freezing air.

"What kind of person is this, turning people into blood clots?"

When I finally came to my senses and looked down, my face was already covered in blood and crushed, and blood was gushing from my abdomen just below my ribs, as if I had been stabbed by something.

"Hey. I'll take care of this, so you stay to the side while the professors come down."

유여주

"Uh, me!?... Ah... yes, I understand."

Although I was a little scared, I headed to the next bed to survive, and there, lying with a pale face, was Jeon Jungkook, the owner of the name tag that had passed me a moment ago.

Another thought crossed my mind: someone with this level of injury should be unconscious, but even if they were only mumbling, they were conscious.

유여주

"It's strange..."

유여주

"...Hey, patient! You're holding on well, so just hold on a little longer. If you stay alert like you are now, we'll treat you well."

A doctor's role, more important than diagnosis and surgery, was to reassure the patient. Jeon Jungkook, this man's condition was dire—to put it another way, he was barely alive. Still, I did my best to fulfill my most important duty to him.

"...Ugh...Cough...!!!.....Ugh..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man started vomiting blood and his condition only got worse.

But the manager and all the other residents were busy treating the others who had been brought in with them, and the only hope for this man now was the little doctor, Yoo Yeo-ju.

유여주

"Mr..what should I do.."

As an intern who had only been here a few weeks, I couldn't carelessly touch patients. All I could do was offer hope, stuffing despair into a package, and run errands.

유여주

"Ah, why isn't anyone coming? I'm going crazy."

No one was looking at the man, and the shallow groans were fading away. Finally, I decided to step forward myself.

유여주

"Ugh, even if I do that, it'll just get me fired."

Even though I said that, my eyes were fixed on the employee ID hanging around my neck.

유여주

"No, Yoo Yeo-ju, people come first...sigh..."

Trying to ignore my true feelings, I examined this man's condition more closely than before.

유여주

"...."

His abdomen was covered in bruises, as if he had been kicked quite a lot, and blood was flowing back into his windpipe, suggesting a ruptured organ.

But the ruptured organ was just one of many minor injuries. Blood-soaked gunshot wounds spurted through his side, along with the rebar wounds that had penetrated it. I trembled involuntarily, squeezing my eyes shut.

유여주

"Huh....huh..."

유여주

"Hey, Nurse Yoon!!!! Please... Please help me!!!!!"

I grabbed the arm of a nurse who was passing by and, with a nearly tearful expression, asked for help.

The situation required immediate surgery, but it seemed too late to wait, so we decided to first stop the bleeding from the bullet and rebar wounds.

유여주

"Ugh... Don't shake..."

Today, even my hand didn't listen to me, and I pinched my hand and held the tweezers I was using to remove the bullet tightly in my hand.

If you touch the wrong blood vessel, it's over.

In just five minutes, the bullet was removed and the bleeding was stopped. I was anxiously waiting for the professors while unrolling the wheels on the fixed bed.

"Everyone, get out."

At that time, Professor Min came down to the emergency room and prepared to go to the operating room.

민윤기 image

민윤기

"....What is this? Who...touched it?"

Just like the manager, Professor Min's expression was cold, and this time again, the professor's gaze was directed at me.

민윤기 image

민윤기

"Is that you?"

유여주

"..(gulp)..yes...I will."

민윤기 image

민윤기

"Haa...you..!!!"

유여주

"Oh, I did that because it seemed urgent!!!!!"

His eyebrows flinched at my acknowledgment of my unilateral action, and I unconsciously made a series of lame excuses.

민윤기 image

민윤기

"Are you out of your mind? Are you crazy!!!!"

유여주

"I'm sorry, but I thought the patient's condition was getting worse, so I did that."

민윤기 image

민윤기

"Haa....you come see me later."

민윤기 image

민윤기

"Nurse Yoon. I'll see you after your surgery."

The professor went out to get ready, and I felt like I was going to burst into tears, but I held it back and spoke quietly to the man.

유여주

"I'm going to have surgery soon... Cheer up... I'm sorry."

The moment I was about to gently put down the hand of the man I was holding,

The man grabbed my arm with his weak hand.

And then... again, that small murmur came to my ear as I turned around.

"miss you......"

Soon the man's hand fell limply onto the bed, and at the same time, tears fell from my eyes.

유여주

"Hey, patient!!!!!"

유여주

"Patient!!! Come to your senses!!!!!...Please...Ugh.."

What comes after these words, "I miss you..."? Who, why, and how much they miss you, clinging to their fading minds, I really want to hear those words. My heart ached, and I shed tears to my first patient.

I can't tell if it's simple sympathy or something more than that, but my heart aches...
