You who are close yet far away (緣)

Episode 2 | A suspicious man I've heard of somewhere.

It was really amazing.

It's about nurturing a dream of working in a hospital, achieving that dream, treating a sick person for the first time, and seeing that person's happiness as they return to their daily lives.

I, too, wanted to heal someone and see them smile again. Or maybe I wanted to make money.

I always tell people this, but there's another reason.

To never let something like that happen again,

To avoid creating people like me.

I think it was about 4 years ago.

It was a really ordinary day, and the weather was nice.

Unlike me now, I was a medical student.

신교수

Oh_ Are you a student?

서여주

Oh, yes

신교수

Okay. I'll be counting on you in the future, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

서여주

Yes, I understand.

김석진

… Are you a new professor?

서여주

Yeah, I'm going to get a chest x-ray.

김석진

…Why are you going to the chest...?

서여주

You don't have to know_ This older sister is in love with the chest.

김석진

You like babies. Let's go to the pediatric surgery department.

정호석

Oh, I don't like it -

정호석

I'm going to the thoracic surgery department with you.

서여주

Ugh, Seokjin, the hyungs will go_ Our Seokjin will go see the kids.

김석진

… You like kids, but you only do that to me.

김석진

Hey, you?

박지민

Um... neurosurgery

김석진

If Jung Ho-seok and Seo Yeo-ju went together, you and I should go together too...

박지민

Okay. Why am I sticking with you?

박지민

It would be better if the picture was pretty since we are a couple standing with Jung Ho-seok_ You and I… .

박지민

Let's not do anything that will hurt each other's feelings.

김석진

…don't bully me.

박지민

Yeah. Don't be silly, I'm going. I have to go see the professor.

서여주

Hello_ My name is Seo Yeo-ju, a medical school freshman. Please take care of me…!

오 간호사

Oh, nice to meet you_ I've been working here for a year tooㅎ

신교수

So, Seo Yeo-ju_ Why did you come to the thoracic surgery department?

서여주

… Oh, can I be honest?

신교수

then -

서여주

To make money.

서여주

I studied to some extent, but I wondered where I could use my brain and what I could do to make the most money, and then I came to medical school.

박교수

Our thoracic surgery department gets a lot of patients like this every year.

서여주

Originally, kids like that were good at studying_

박교수

Yes. Welcome to the Department of Thoracic Surgery. Now, next.

김유정

Oh, hello.

김유정

My name is Kim Yu-jeong. I came to the thoracic surgery department with my uncle.

신교수

Since your name is Kim... Professor Kim of the Chest Department?

김유정

Yes_ He's my uncle. Oh, but that doesn't mean I can come easily just because my uncle is a professor...!

김유정

I had a really hard time getting in -

김교수

Hey, be quiet_ I'm just saying that for your own good.

김유정

Oh, uncle, you really don't know anything.

김교수

Hey, professor outside.

김유정

Yes, professor.

정호석

Hello. My name is Jeong Ho-seok and I studied to some extent.

박교수

oh_

신교수

This chest is all bright and nice.

신교수

Okay, let's go

신교수

Your professor is buying you food.

박교수

Hey, applause.

김유정

Wow - this isn't a real hospital, it's a castle.

서여주

…excuse me.

서여주

The line is not there, it's here.

김유정

… Ah, thank you haha

김유정

What is your name?

서여주

I introduced you earlier, as Seo Yeo-ju.

김유정

Ah, that's right.

김유정

Nice to meet you, I'm Kim Yoo-jung.

서여주

I know, you're Kim Yoo-jung.

김유정

…you know me?

서여주

I told you earlier_ I introduced you.

김유정

Oh, I see_ Sorry.

서여주

Oh, well, there's nothing to be sorry about.

박지민

Hey, Seo Yeo-ju -

서여주

What, you finished early?

박지민

Yeah. I really like the neurosurgery professors.

서여주

Hmm, I guess I should just go to neurosurgery.

박지민

How can you change it now? Just go to the chest.

서여주

… Right? Your chest would be good, right?

정호석

huh.

서여주

What, you were there too?

정호석

Are you kidding me? I was with you earlier_

서여주

Oh, I see. So you're going to get a chest shot too?

김석진

This one's chest, that one's nerves, I'm a child, you're chest.

서여주

Oh... I have friends?

서여주

You guys aren't here lol

박지민

… He’s teasing us right now, right?

김석진

Yeah. How about hitting them one by one?

정호석

Hey, you guys want to hurt someone when you're the one who's supposed to be healing them?

김석진

Should I treat you? You should do it yourself.

서여주

…are you crazy?

김유정

excuse me

김유정

Lady, do you want to eat with me?

김석진

No. Seo Yeo-ju will eat with us.

서여주

What are you talking about, why should I eat with you guys?

서여주

let's go.

김유정

Oh, okay

정호석

Today, you lost to Seo Yeo-ju again.

박지민

One or two days?

김석진

…someday I will win.

김유정

… Oh, have you ever tried housework?

서여주

No? We're the freshmen who came today_ I was just wondering if we should just take a look around, but how are you already doing the surgery?

김유정

Ah, why_ I want to get home quickly tooㅎ

서여주

Then I'll assist you, do you want to do the house too?

김유정

Oh, good. Let's try it sometime.

서여주

The food here is delicious.

김유정

Well, it's not bad.

서여주

Do you want to keep coming to eat with me?

김유정

…is this a confession?

서여주

…is a question.

김유정

Well, okay.

서여주

Okay. From now on, let's eat together every day.

김유정

Ah, are you crazy? I just ate too much.

서여주

I can throw up now.

김유정

If you vomit, go to the ER and rest.

* ER: Emergency Room

서여주

… Are you really a doctor?

서여주

Is it okay for a doctor to just go to the emergency room? And even then, just to rest?

김유정

Yeah, that won't work.

외과 레지던트

Professor Park…! This is the thoracic surgery ER.

신교수

Professor Park has gone to eat now. I'll go, so call Professor Park.

서여주

…what's going on?

신교수

I think they've got a thoracic surgeon in the ER. Just go and get checked out, and if it doesn't look good, you'll be admitted and have surgery.

김유정

When are you having the surgery?

신교수

If it's serious, after a few hours, or if the condition needs to be monitored further, the next day.

김유정

Oh, can I go with you...?

신교수

… Oh, well, okay, follow me.

서여주

thank you -

신교수

Where is the patient?

오 간호사

Here it is.

신교수

Patient, are you having trouble breathing?

외과 레지던트

I asked him a few questions to confirm, but he kept frowning and couldn't answer properly.

외과 레지던트

Perhaps your lungs are swollen.

신교수

Yeah, I think so.

신교수

If we leave this patient in this condition, he may not be able to breathe and may die.

신교수

Surgeon, please open the operating room and call me after setting up.

신교수

I will contact the anesthesiologist.

신교수

Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you going?

서여주

Oh, yes.

서여주

So, can this patient survive...?

흉부외과 치프

Hmm, it's a bit risky. If it goes well, I might have to observe the transplant surgery with the surgery professor.

흉부외과 치프

But it'll be okay since you're a new professor.

김유정

How long will it take?

흉부외과 치프

But since you're a new professor... 4 hours?

김유정

Oh...

신교수

If you're tired, you can go home.

김유정

Oh, no_ I'll be there till the end.

신교수

Then please bring them something to cover them with.

신교수

As you'll see when you go to a pediatric surgery center, the temperatures are incredibly high. On the other hand, thoracic surgery and other surgical departments can be cooler, so it can be a bit chilly.

흉부외과 치프

I'll bring the clothes.

서여주

Oh, thank you haha

김유정

Are you going to go to pediatric surgery and neurosurgery later?

서여주

Yeah. Even though I've decided on the chest, there's still a lot I can learn.

김유정

Oh, then do you want to watch it together?

서여주

Yeah lol

신교수

… Okay, so that sounds good, right?

흉부외과 치프

It's neat haha

신교수

Okay, then, our chief, please endure a little more. I'll go.

흉부외과 치프

Oh my, yes - go in.

서여주

…Can we go too?

흉부외과 치프

Yeah. This is just a matter of tying it up. Good job_ You guys held out for a long time too.

흉부외과 치프

Get some rest_

김유정

I'll go -

김유정

Oh, man, my back is going to break.

서여주

Well, we did sit there for a long time.

김유정

Are you going to work tomorrow?

서여주

Yeah, that's true, but you can go as long as you can before lunch.

서여주

…why?

김유정

…want to go for a drink?

서여주

Wake up, it's 4 o'clock now.

김유정

So what, daytime drinking isn't bad either_ and if you drink it now, it's not daytime drinking either.

김유정

The time is a bit vague, but it's not bad if you drink it with dinner.

서여주

Oh, okay, let's drink tomorrow.

김유정

Tomorrow_ um, okay

김유정

Are you leaving work right away?

서여주

Oh, no, of course there was some left.

김유정

… I saw the surgery, but what’s left?

서여주

Eating together with the kids.

김유정

Kids?

김유정

Oh, those guys from earlier?

서여주

Yeah, I'll go first.

김유정

Okay, see you tomorrow_

서여주

Oh man, I knew you'd be here.

서여주

Hey, is Professor Park's office your room?

김석진

Professor Park and I are best friends from today onwards, best friends.

정호석

Did you know that I asked the professor earlier if I could call you hyung?

정호석

…Is this kid in his right mind?

김석진

It's stuck right there_ If you're going to nag, get out.

박지민

This isn't even your room, so why are we leaving?

박지민

What right do you have to tell me to do this or that?

김석진

It's our Professor Park's right as your best friend. Now, will you please get out of here?

서여주

What are you going to do without us? What, are you going to install a wiretapping device in Professor Park's room?

김석진

Oh, crazy_ No matter how much it looks like I'm going to do something like that, I won't.

정호석

It's quite possible.

박지민

huh.

김석진

Everyone get out.

박교수

These haven't even been with me for a day, but they feel like they've been around for over three years.

박교수

Hey, aren't you all going out?

김석진

Why_ Please look at it because it's cute.

서여주

Oh, what's wrong with that, really_ Professor, I think I made the wrong friends.

박지민

But Professor Park is a thoracic surgery professor, so why is he close with Seokjin Kim?

김석진

How many times have I been here before? Now, there's no one in this hospital who doesn't know me, right?

김석진

We're all close.

박교수

Yeah. It's really gross, really gross.

박교수

Hey, take it easy and go. I have a meeting today.

서여주

Oh, what time does the meeting end?

박교수

…around 7 o’clock?

서여주

Are you having a surgery meeting for a 45-year-old TA patient?

박교수

Yeah, it might be a bit risky this time, and the professor who will be performing the surgery has only done a few surgeries, so he will have some things to explain.

박교수

Why, do you want to come too?

서여주

Yes? No_ How can you hold a meeting for 3 hours?

김석진

Please take him with you. Otherwise, he'll nag us all day.

박지민

Just this once...

서여주

…I won't go.

박교수

I'm sorry, but I can't touch Seo Yeo-ju either.

박교수

I saw it for the first time today_ I just got the feeling that you can't do it carelessly.

박교수

I'm going_ Get some rest and then go home from work.

정호석

Yes - please come in_

박지민

Go_

서여주

See you tomorrow_

김석진

I'll curse you -

박교수

thanks_

서여주

Hey, hey, what do you want for dinner?

박지민

Hmm_ I want to eat something hot.

정호석

…Jjamppong?

김석진

No. I don't really like spicy food today.

서여주

Hey, let's go get kalguksu_

김석진

Oh_ good.

정호석

Where are you going?

박지민

I'll drive_ Everyone get in the back and tell me the way.

서여주

…Let’s definitely become professors later and buy meals for our juniors.

김석진

I don't have any money now and I don't plan on having any in the future.

박지민

Then I will live as Seo Yeo-ju's junior.

정호석

I am a student forever_

서여주

… How long are you going to live like that?

서여주

… taehyoung kim?

서여주

- Excuse me, what is your occupation?

김태형

- Is this the trend these days to reveal your identity?

김태형

- I'm a bit of a busy person, so I'll end it here.

서여주

- Oh, that's not it.

서여주

… What, you hung up?

서여주

Wow_ I'm really speechless.

정호석

…what’s so absurd?

서여주

No_ A strange person suddenly called me first… .

서여주

What, why am I telling you this?

서여주

Go quickly.

정호석

Even if you don't say anything, I'm a busy person so I'll go_

정호석

Anyway, I know you're busy.

정호석

Go -

서여주

…who is it?

Tiring ringing ...

서여주

- This is Seo Yeo-ju, a thoracic surgeon.

김석진

- Hey, you come to the pediatric surgery department quickly.

김석진

- A 4-year-old boy with TA, whose vitals are also unstable.

서여주

- I'll go now, call Kim Ji-soo first.

김석진

- I think I should come quickly.

There is no time to rest, and no freedom.

A big change has occurred in this boring and unchanging life.

No, honestly, who would have thought that would happen to me?
