Even without my amateur Korean local perspective adding realistic bricks to your delusion arc, your fantasy already sent me to the moon.

While reading your Yeon Clinic saga, I had this song on repeatโPrimary’s hit (he’s Weak Hero Class 1’s music director)โand it was the perfect BGM, imagining Dr. Yeon’s inevitable smile when handsome, working-class Mr. Ahn drops by unexpectedly.

J:
Speaking of cheeky, I need to correct one part of your take: if those two ever went that extra something mile out of curiosity, it wouldn’t be Su-ho initiating but Si-eun’s teasing, because in my take, Si-eun, as an Eunjang High senior, is bold and cheeky.

Yeon Clinic is clearly internal medicine, but here comes working-class Mr Ahn walking through those clinic doors with spurious reasons like headaches, toothaches, chest painsโbasic family medicine stuffโwhile Dr Yeon gives him that slightly furrowed brow paired with a smile creeping across his lips that totally doesn’t match his expression.

Because he didn’t always knock, one day Mr. Ahn barged in to find a rather startled Dr. Yeon.
ํญ์ ๋ ธํฌํ์ง ์์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์, ์ด๋ ๋ ์ ์จ์ ์ํฌ์ธ์ ์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๋ฅผ ๊ฝค ๋๋ผ๊ฒ ํ๋ค.
This was on purpose, of course; alarming his closest friend was a form of gentle teasing he had been doing for years.
๋ฌผ๋ก ์๋์ ์ด์๋ค. ๊ฐ์ฅ ๊ฐ๊น์ด ์น๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ๋๋ผ๊ฒ ํ๋ ๊ฑด ์ ์จ๊ฐ ์๋ ๊ฐ ์ณ์จ ๊ท์ฌ์ด ์ฅ๋ ์ค ํ๋์๋ค.
It didn’t matter that the physician here was something of a cult hero, revered and envied by insiders for his phenomenal memory and the precision of his cuts and injections.
ํด๋ฆฌ๋ ์์ฅ, ์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๊ฐ ๊ฒฝ์ด๋ก์ด ๊ธฐ์ต๋ ฅ๊ณผ ์ ๊ฐ ๋ฐ ์ฃผ์ฌ์ ์ ๋ฐํจ์ผ๋ก ์ํ๊ณ์์ ์กด๊ฒฝ๋ฐ๊ณ ๋ถ๋ฌ์์ ์ฌ๋ ์ผ์ข ์ ์ปฌํธ ์์ ์ด๋ผ๋ ๊ฑด ๊ทธ๋ฅ ์ค์ํ์ง ์์๋ค.
To him, Dr Yeon was just a more decorated version of his reticent high school mate, the strength behind his heartbeats, and Mr Ahn loved seeing those liquid eyes widen into pure, clear pools.
๋ฏธ์คํฐ ์์๊ฒ ์์ด, ์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๋ ๊ทธ์ ๊ณผ๋ฌตํ ๊ณ ๋ฑํ๊ต ๋์ฐฝ์์ ์ข ๋ ํ์ฅ์ ๋ฌ๊ณ ์๋ ๋ฒ์ ์ด์๊ณ , ์ฌ์ฅ์ ๋ฐ๊ฒ ํ๋ ์๋๋ ฅ์ด์์ผ๋ฉฐ, ์ ์จ๋ ๊ทธ ์ด์ดํ ๋์ด ์์ํ๊ณ ๋ง์ ์ ๋ฉ์ด์ฒ๋ผ ์ปค์ง๋ ๊ฑธ ์ข์ํ์ ๋ฟ์ด์๋ค.
This rude entrance was usually followed by a lecture on manners and morals from the medical savant, but the nature of the procedures the doctor performed here on him made these Confucian scoldings sound hollow.
์ ์จ์ ๋ฌด๋กํ ์ ์ฅ์ ์์ ์ฒ์ฌ๋ก๋ถํฐ ์์ ๊ณผ ๋๋์ ๊ดํ ํ๊ณ๊ฐ ๋ค๋ฐ๋ฅด๊ฒ ํ์ง๋ง, ๋ฅํฐ ์ฐ์ด ํด๋ฆฌ๋์์ ์ ์จ์๊ฒ ์ ๊ณตํ ์์ ์ ์ฑ๊ฒฉ ๋๋ฌธ์ ์ด๋ฌํ ์ ๊ต์ ๊พธ์ง์์ ๊ณตํํ ๋ฟ์ด์๋ค.
Still, Mr Ahn absorbed every word.
๊ทธ๋๋ ๋ฏธ์คํฐ ์์ ๋ชจ๋ ๋ง์ ๊ท๋ด์ ๋ค์๋ค.
He wanted to hear his voice.
๊ทธ๋ ๊ทธ์ ๋ชฉ์๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋ฃ๊ณ ์ถ์๋ค.
It was all part of an elaborate ritual that sprang up in place of him saying,
์์ ์ ์๋ ์ํฌ์ธ์ ์ง์ฌ์ ์จ๊ธฐ๊ธฐ ์ํด ์๊ฒจ๋ ์ ๊ตํ ์์์ ์ผ๋ถ์๋ค.
Si-eun-ah, did you miss me? I missed you.
์์์, ๋ ๋ณด๊ณ ์ถ์ง ์์์ด? ๋๋ ๋ณด๊ณ ์ถ์๋๋ฐ.
That would have been the plain truth of things, but the words burned with embarrassment in his mind, and he couldn’t say them, since he was already going for checkups almost every other day.
ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ ๋ง์ ๊ทธ์ ํ๋ฒํ ์ง์ฌ์ด์์ง๋ง ๋ถ๋๋ฌ์์ผ๋ก ๋ ํ์ฌ๋๋ค. ์ด๋ฏธ ๊ฑฐ์ ์ดํ์ ํ ๋ฒ์ฉ ํด๋ฆฌ๋์ ๊ฐ๊ณ ์์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋งํ ์ ์๊ธฐ๋ ํ๋ค.
This time, however, Dr. Yeon remained quiet.
ํ์ง๋ง ์ด๋ฒ์๋ ์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๊ฐ ์กฐ์ฉํ๋ค.
He simply gulped.
๊ทธ์ ์นจ์ ๊ฟ๊บฝ ์ผ์ผฐ๋ค.
Something’s off.
๋ญ๊ฐ ์ด์ํด.
Dr Yeon abruptly gestured to a sound panel behind Mr Ahn, and asked.
์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๊ฐ ๊ฐ์๊ธฐ ์ ์จ ๋ค์ ๋ฐฉ์ํ์ ๊ฐ๋ฆฌํค๋ฉฐ ๋ฌผ์๋ค.
Doesn’t that one seem slightly crooked?
์ ๊ฑฐ ์ฝ๊ฐ ๋น๋ค์ด์ง ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์ง ์์?
While the light of his life turned around to check the offending installation, Dr. Yeon hurriedly swept a small photo frame off his sparse tabletop and stuffed it into the lowest drawer, desperately pried open with the tip of his leather shoe.
์ ์จ๊ฐ ๋ฌธ์ ์ ์ค์น๋ฌผ ์ชฝ์ผ๋ก ๋น์ฒ๋ผ ํ ๋์์๋ ๋์, ์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๋ ํ ๋น ํ์ ์์์ ์๋๋ฌ ์์ ์ก์๋ฅผ ์ธ์ด๋ด๋ ค ๊ฐ์ฅ ์๋ ์๋์ ๋ฐ์ด๋ฃ์๋ค. ๊ฐ์ฃฝ ๊ตฌ๋ ๋์ผ๋ก ํ์ฌ์ ์ผ๋ก ์๋ ๋ฌธ์ ์ด๋ฉด์.
But Mr. Ahn sensed the fluster and spun back just as the drawer closed with a soft but distinct click.
๊ทธ๋ฌ๋ ์ ์จ๋ ์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๊ฐ ๋นํฉํ์ฌ ๋ถ๋ด๋ถ๋ด ๋ฌด์์ธ๊ฐ ๊ฐ์ถ๋ ๊ฑธ ๋์น์ฑ๋ค. ์๋์ด ๋ถ๋๋ฝ๊ฒ ๋ธ๊น ์๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋ด๋ฉฐ ๋ซํ๋ ๋์์ ๊ทธ๋ ํ ๋ค๋์์ฐ๋ค.

He thought.

He tilted his head and smirked cheekily.

And was that thing in the drawer for my treatment? Or yours?

๋ญ? ๊ทธ ์ฐฐ๋๋ฅผ ๋ดค์ด? ์ณ, ์ด๋ป๊ฒ ์ ๋ฆฌ ์๋ฆฌํ ๊น?
Dr. Yeon thought. He said,
์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ๊ฐ ๋งํ๋ค.
Don’t be so disgusting, please. And not everything is about you, you know? My patients here have the right to confidentiality.
๊ทธ๋ ๊ฒ ๋งํ์ง ๋ง. ๋ชจ๋ ๊ฒ ๋ค ๋์ ๊ดํ ๊ฑด ์๋๋ผ๊ณ . ๋ด ํ์๋ค ์๋ฃ ์ ๋ณด๋ฅผ ์ง์ผ์ค ์๋ฌด๋ ์์ด.

Mr. Ahn walked over.
์ฐ ๋ฐ์ฌ ์ชฝ์ผ๋ก ์ ์จ๊ฐ ๊ฑธ์ด๊ฐ๋ค.
That’s why I trust you won’t say a word about my preferred therapy for today.
์ค๋ ๋ด๊ฐ ๋ฐ๊ณ ์ถ์ ์น๋ฃ์ ๋ํด ๋๊ฐ ๋จ ํ ๋ง๋๋ ์ ํ ๊ฑฐ๋ ๊ฑธ ์์.
Mr. Ahn lunged for the drawers and was promptly blocked by Dr. Yeon.

This resulted in the two turning back into high schoolers as they engaged in a wild bout of jostling, grabbing, pinching, and tickling, much of which was audible to the nurses outside.
๊ทธ ๋์ ๊ณ ๋ฑํ์์ผ๋ก ๋์๊ฐ ๋ฐ์น๊ณ , ๋ถ์ก๊ณ , ๊ผฌ์ง๊ณ , ๊ฐ์ง๋ฝํ๋ ๊ฒฉ๋ ฌํ ํ ํ์ ์ฐธ์ฌํ๋ ์ฐ๊ฒฉ๋ค์ง์ ๋ฒ์๊ณ , ๊ฐํธ์ฌ๋ค์๊ฒ๋ ๊ทธ ์์์ด ํผ์ ธ๋๊ฐ๋ค.

It turns out the trainee nurse was quite right.
์ ์ ๊ฐํธ์ฌ๊ฐ ์ด๋ ์ ๋ ์ณ์๋ค๋ ๊ฒ ๋ฐํ์ก๋ค.
The panels didn’t do much to dampen the bass thumps; contrary to her expectation, though, they didn’t quite cut off the high notes either, nor much of anything else.

At best, they muffled conversations, but the screech of shifting furniture, the growling and groaning, the shrieking, and the shouts of “YAH!!” were especially sharp today.
