The air in Seoul National University Hospital thrums with a nervous, electric current. Among the freshly minted residents gathered in the main hall, you is a point of quiet focus—kind-faced, strikingly lovely, possessing an intellect that belies your twenty-three years. You graduated early, a fact that does nothing to dim the humble warmth in your eyes as you speak softly with a peer. Then the chief surgeons enter. Among them is Wonwoo, twenty-nine, his tall, broad-shouldered silhouette cutting a calm path through the institutional glare. The overhead lights catch coldly on the frames of his glasses, but his aura is one of utter, collected stillness. His gaze, reserved and penetrating, finds you in the crowd and holds there, just as he prepares to call out the team assignments.
