Doctor Choi Dae-ho Episode 233

At that moment, the door to the hospital opened quickly and Kang Jin-soo came in.

He called out to Daeho again and again with flustered gestures and an urgent voice.

“Senior Richard, senior. Senior!”

“What are you doing again?”

“Vice President, call now! Right now!”

“What did you do wrong?”

When Daeho asked, Kang Jinsu gestured urgently.

“It’s not me, it’s you!”

“me?”

“Yes. Please come up quickly.”

“Okay? Okay, I understand.”

Daeho passed Kang Jinsu, nodding.

And the steps towards the vice president’s office were filled with curiosity.

‘What’s with the sudden call?’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

After a while.

Daeho arrived in front of the vice president’s office.

dripping.

I knocked and went inside, and Vice President Han Seung-hoon was sitting on the sofa, looking at me.

But there was another one there.

He was a man, or rather a doctor, who gave off a strong sense of neatness and orderliness similar to that of a Daeho.

Thick eyebrows and a dry expression.

He was a handsome man who gave off a cold and bleak vibe.

The moment he saw him, Daeho’s eyebrows furrowed greatly.

“Why are you here?”

It was such a familiar face.

But this person shouldn’t be here.

Daeho was slightly embarrassed by the face that appeared so suddenly.

At that time, Vice President Han Seung-hoon gestured to Dae-ho and the doctor and said.

“You know each other well? No, you do.”

At that moment, the other person smiled slightly and responded.

“It’s nice to see you here, Mr. Richard. Isn’t it?”

“That’s right. That’s right. Hoo, here we meet. Robert Lee.”

“That name isn’t bad, but since I’m in Korea, I wish you’d call me by my Korean name.”

“I wonder. Mr. Lee Jeong-seok.”

Daeho calmly called her by her Korean name.

No, Lee Jeong-seok leisurely got up from his seat and held out his hand.

“Half a year, huh? You should have told me when you left. I was worried because you disappeared when I came back from Mexico.”

“It was a sudden decision for me too. By the way, did you have a good time on your mission to Mexico?”

“Of course. With my skills, why wouldn’t I be able to do well?”

“Let’s sit down first. We’re not in a position to stand and say hello.”

Ssuk.

As Daeho sat down on the other side, Lee Jeong-seok also sat down slowly.

Vice President Han Seung-hoon, who was watching the two people, had a bright smile on his face.

“I can’t believe that these two giants of Johns Hopkins CS are located in our hospital.”

“I’m quite surprised. I haven’t heard that this teacher is coming to Korea.”

“That’s true……”

It was when Vice President Han Seung-hoon was having a blast.

Lee Jeong-seok leisurely intervened and asked for understanding.

“Vice President. Wouldn’t it be better if I were to speak up? It’s my job.”

“Well, let’s do that.”

Vice President Han Seung-hoon made a light gesture.

Lee Jeong-seok looked straight at Dae-ho and said.

“I said I was coming. With my skills, I’m sure this kind of dispatch request will be no problem.”

“Still, it’s so sudden. Is it because of me?”

Daeho asked directly, nodding.

Lee Jeong-seok instead smiled and nodded sheepishly.

“Of course I came to get my ‘Number One’ title back. Thank you for taking care of it for a while.”

“Okay. The person who needs it should take it. But can I just give it to myself?”

“Haha. Are you still trying to say that you’re better than me?”

“It’s not my place to make that assessment.”

Daeho answered with a slight shrug of his shoulders.

At that moment, Lee Jeong-seok’s cheek twitched slightly.

But that was only for a moment.

Lee Jeong-seok quickly smiled again, as if he was used to controlling himself.

“Anyway, let’s try to sort out the issues we couldn’t finish in Korea.”

“That’s good. Welcome back from such a long way.”

“Welcome. It’s nice to work with you again.”

Lee Jeong-seok said with a somewhat cold smile.

Daeho felt awkward about those words and asked with a puzzled look.

“Working together? Isn’t this teacher CS?”

“Even Mr. Richard, who says that, is a CS student.”

“But I was transferred to the ER.”

“so do i.”

Lee Jeong-seok’s answer was so cool.

Daeho opened his eyes wide for a moment as he looked at Vice President Han Seung-hoon.

“Is this teacher also an ER?”

“That’s what happened.”

“Is that so?”

“I wanted this teacher to go to CS, but he strongly wanted to go to ER.”

At the same time that Vice President Han Seung-hoon answered.

Daeho looked at Lee Jeong-seok.

“Hmm.”

“Why, are you curious about something?”

“No. Let’s talk about that between us.”

“Okay.”

Lee Jeong-seok still responded coolly.

Daeho looked at Vice President Han Seung-hoon again and asked.

“So the reason you called me is because of this teacher?”

“Yeah. Since we’re close, we introduce each other to the hospital and take a look around the ER together.”

“Okay, sir. Shall we get up?”

Ssuk.

As Daeho stood up and urged, Lee Jeong-seok also stood up immediately.

“Then, Vice President. From now on, I will only give you good news from the emergency room.”

“I didn’t expect the teacher to say something like that.”

“I’ll excuse myself now.”

It was at the same time that Lee Jeong-seok finished his greetings.

“let’s go.”

Daeho moved first and headed out of the vice president’s office.

* * *

Hospital rooftop.

Daeho and Jeongseok Lee sat across from each other at the table.

The air flowing between the two was not at all harsh.

Rather, it was a soft and calm atmosphere.

Daeho stared at Lee Jeong-seok with the drink in front of him and asked.

“Jeongseok. Why did you really come here?”

“You ran away.”

“What am I running away from?”

“Hey, Choi Max. You took a lot of things away from me during the half year I was away.”

When Lee Jeong-seok spoke coldly, Dae-ho looked dumbfounded.

“What should I take?”

“The number one title. That was mine originally.”

“That noise again. Do you think the doctors would have given it to you if I had asked them to?”

“You always say that. You’re the only doctor who has ever scratched my pride like that.”

Lee Jeong-seok narrowed his eyes and growled.

The tiger reacted indifferently, as if it was familiar with the boundary.

“Anyway, I feel a little relieved that you’re here.”

“Relief? Would you say something like that even after I took the top spot from you?”

“You can figure that out. But does your uncle know you came in?”

When Daeho asked, Lee Jeong-seok hesitated for the first time.

“Have you seen me keeping in touch with my father?”

“Are you still like that? My uncle may be a bit cold, but he still has a gentle heart.”

“Taehoya. Hand on your heart.”

“huh?”

As Daeho tilted his head, Lee Jeong-seok spoke softly.

“Put your hand on your heart and answer while thinking of you and your uncle. Do you keep in touch with your uncle?”

“…..pass.”

“Why are you bringing this up on such a topic?”

“Khuh-huh.”

Daeho averted his gaze and coughed in vain.

Lee Jeong-seok changed the subject as if he had expected such a reaction.

“But why did you come to Chunghyo? Is it because you have no connection with your uncle?”

“Yeah. Even though I avoided it like that, I still have a connection.”

“who?”

“Vice President.”

As soon as Daeho answered, Lee Jeong-seok found the connection.

“That’s right. You must have met during a major disaster before.”

“How did you do that… Oh, you learned that in medical school?”

“Of course. For Korean medical students, major disasters at the time were a regular topic of report.”

“Then you must have heard about the Rapid Response Center. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Daeho hardened his gaze and spoke softly.

But Lee Jeong-seok spoke indifferently with a cold expression.

“Because I’m not interested.”

“what?”

“It’s in the past and it failed. There’s no reason for me to dig into it.”

“You’re saying nothing happened?”

Daeho asked with a slightly depressed face.

Still, Lee Jeong-seok’s expression did not change even a little.

“I only care about one thing. It’s to surpass you.”

“I’m bored. I’m bored.”

“You might say that now. But just wait and see. You won’t have a moment to be active in the emergency room.”

Lee Jeong-seok spoke somewhat aggressively.

But on the contrary, Daeho’s expression brightened up.

“Okay, please.”

“Are you kidding me right now?”

“Not at all. Seriously. I was just thinking about you yesterday.”

“What are you talking about? Why is this happening?”

Lee Jeong-seok stepped back slightly with a horrified expression on his face.

Regardless, Daeho said with a face that seemed to have greatly relieved his worries.

“I just wanted to have one capable person, and I thought of you, and here you are, right in front of me.”

“Max Ho. I’m Lee Jeong-seok. Don’t get me confused with Jeong Ji-hoon.”

“Why would I confuse you? Hehe. You showed up just at the right time. Who knew we could get along like this.”

“What is that horrible expression? Get out of here. Stop it.”

Although Lee Jeong-seok was extremely cautious, Dae-ho’s smile did not disappear.

“Jeongseok, it’s really nice to meet you.”

“No. Don’t do that. That’s not it.”

“You punk, you’re being so embarrassing.”

“What? Where did you get that from?!”

Lee Jeong-seok’s face crumpled as he ran around.

Still, the smile on Daeho’s face did not disappear.

‘If it’s a classic, then there’s no need to say anything about skill.’

Daeho knew Lee Jeong-seok all too well.

We’ve been friends since birth.

He even knew the details of my family history.

Besides, we trained together at Johns Hopkins CS.

He was truly a doctor who stood out in the CS field.

The problem was the external part.

Daeho was slightly nervous, but didn’t think about it right away.

First of all, I vividly felt the polar bear on my shoulder transform into a cub.

* * *

After a while.

Daeho guided Lee Jeong-seok down to the emergency room.

“This is the back door of the emergency room, and if you look this way……”

Daeho explained them one by one.

At that moment, Yoo Gwang-gu and Park Jin-gyu suddenly appeared.

The two doctors gestured to Lee Jeong-seok with quite surprised faces.

“Look, look, look. It’s real.”

“Wow. It really is Lee Jeong-seok.”

Lee Jeong-seok’s gaze towards the two was bleak.

“Richard, who?”

“ER Chief Yoo Kwang-goo, and next to him is Park Jin-gyu, a 4th-year player.”

When Daeho introduced himself, Lee Jeong-seok smiled faintly and extended his hand.

“Hello. I am Jeongseok Lee, a resident at Johns Hopkins CS who will be working with you starting today.”

“Joe, Johns Hopkins…Onniwon Resident?”

“He is the only resident who is better than Richard.”

Lee Jeong-seok’s self-introduction was confident.

Daeho shook his head in disbelief.

‘Do as you wish.’

Since the evaluation is relative anyway, I didn’t bother to correct it.

However, Yoo Gwang-goo seemed awkward with Lee Jeong-seok, who was meeting him for the first time.

So I asked, subtly inserting the past into the question.

“But you’re from Seyuldae, right?”

“Yes. I graduated from Seyul University Medical School. I obtained the USMLE and moved to the United States.”

“No, it’s not that. We met before, no, we met at a club meeting a while ago… ”

“I see. Sorry. I guess it wasn’t a very memorable meeting since I don’t remember.”

Yoo Gwang-gu opened his mouth wide at Lee Jeong-seok’s cold speech.

“Well, no, still. What is this?”

“Teacher Lee. You’re talking a bit like that.”

Park Jin-gyu came out and made a slightly unpleasant comment.

However, Lee Jeong-seok refuted the claims point by point without changing his expression.
