Our Marriage Life's
Waiting for You

"What case is ensnaring your husband, eonni?" So Yeon's two hands propped up her chin. Curious about the case that ensnared Ji Won's husband.

The woman in her 30s was breathing desperately. Very clear from the look of his haggard face. "He is suspected of being involved in a drug embezzlement scandal. Though my husband is not a mafia man, he is just a sailor working on a Chinese ship." Ji Won's voice sounded raucous. He then removed the clear liquid in the corner of his eye.

So Yeon hands a tissue holder in front of Ji Won. He also rubbed the back of the woman's left hand. While her mind was constantly struggling to think about how she would say this to her husband. The case that ensnared Ji Won's husband sounded strange. Just hearing the story he shuddered.

"Sorry, I'm crying in front of you" Ji Won smiled wryly at herself while wiping away the liquid in her eye patch. So Yeon shook her head. "Why does eonnie have to feel bad for me? It's okay, after all, eonnie also gives me advice often. Now it's my turn to help you." So Yeon Pungkas. He leaned in, rubbed Ji Won's shoulders, giving her calm.

"Thank you." Parau Ji Won's.

"Eum, but, how did that happen, eonnie? Why did Sang Joon oppa get caught by the local authorities?" While holding both hands left Ji Won, So Yeon again asked the problem of Ji Won's husband deeper.

"I don't know exactly what the story is like" Ji Won paused her sentence, her memory going back three days ago when suddenly her husband called her in the middle of the night and told her the bad news. "Sang Joon called me in the middle of the night with a terrible gunfight. At that time, he only said that he and several other crew members were caught by the southern sea authorities of the Korean peninsula for allegedly smuggling drugs from Taiwan."

"Then, has eonnie visited Sang Joon oppa?"

Ji Won nodded. "He was also hit by a bullet in the left chest."

So Yeon shuddered in horror. "Will it hurt his lungs?" Ji Won shook her head. "No, thankfully not. The police officer in charge of keeping my husband in the hospital said the investigation process will be carried out immediately when Sang Joon's condition is better. Unfortunately, I didn't have much chance to talk about this matter."

Ji Won pulled out her hand to wipe away the tears that were once again beginning to pool.

"Eonnie take it easy, I'll help Sang Joon oppa's legal process. Besides, I was thinking about Jennie, too." So Yeon glared, imagining how Jennie would feel if she knew her father would not be home months or even years later. He was too young to lose one of his parents.

"Thank you, I'll make an effort to pay for Dae Han's services dearly, as long as Sang Joon can be free."

"Don't think about it first, eonnie, you just focus on Sang Joon oppa's treatment first."

"Gumawoy."

The two then held each other's fingers. Funneling actual strength to the problems they are facing each.

"Blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg," Tae Ra hurriedly noted whatever So Yeon said. "Blood sugar pressure 200 mg/dL." So Yeon sighed tiredly as she finished the examination.

"Eomonymously, your sugar levels are quite high. Please avoid foods with a high glycemic index. Better, just eat the food we've provided." So Yeon was soft. While the patient who was an old woman in her 60s was just silently flinching. He seemed indifferent as if he did not heed the advice of his doctor.

"Eomma is very difficult to advise, uisa-nim. He also likes to eat bacon cheeseburgers and soda." So Yeon nodded off. Countless times had he caught her eating such junk food. In fact, everything hasn't changed until now. "Look, eomma's legs are getting swollen, he still likes to sleep with his legs hanging too." Adu the princess who looked very irritated. How not, after receiving various treatments and intensive care, Mrs Jung's condition instead of improving, it worsened. The old woman still likes to eat junk food or soft drinks. That's fact. He also never heard So Yeon's advice as his doctor. Especially the advice of his sons. His ears seemed to have been designed as thick as possible to hear scolding from various directions. As a result, even on the fifteenth day he was still not allowed outpatient.

"Eomonym, do you hear me?" so Yeon asked, moving to the side of Madam Jung's head after checking the condition of her swollen legs. "Eomonyms?"

"Waea..." Answer by extending the last letter. His tone sounded very upset.

"Mrs Jung, I've said don't hang your legs again or your blood circulation will be hampered" So Yeon patiently explained. "If your legs still continue to swell like this, I'm afraid your heart will also be disturbed."

"Ah...is that so?" Madame Jung replied slightly. His brain nerves were impaired, making him difficult to talk and walk. And now, the woman's heart is also a little problematic because of the unhealthy lifestyle that she still does.

"Of course, Mrs Jung. Eonnie can put a wedge under your Mom's feet, like this." So Yeon carried two sofa pillows onto Madam Jung's bed. Put it under the two legs of that stubborn woman. It makes him higher than his head.

"Ah, like that." Reply faithful woman waiting for her mother.

"True, so that the blood can circulate back to normal. Not collected at one point. Please always be reminded if Madame Jung returns to her original position."

"Okay Doctor Ahn, thank you." The woman bowed respectfully towards So Yeon, and vice versa. Afterwards, So Yeon rushes to several other patients under her care and Kim Tae Ra's medical record.

"Ahn uisa-nim, is it done?" Park Jae Hyun's. The surgeon is two years older than him.

"Ah, yes." Reply So Yeon while throwing a warm smile. He takes a seat next to Jae Hyun and Kyung Sa because the only available seats are that.

"Annyeong, So Yeon-ah," said Kyung Sa, a general practitioner who also stands guard at the same shift. "So Yeon-ah, by the way..." Kyung Sa hangs up her sentence, staring at So Yeon's goal. "You're so pretty with that thick little make up. Unusually."

So Yeon cupped her two red cheeks with her palms. "Jeongmal's? Didn't I always look pretty, eonnie?" Canda So Yeon, and was met with laughter by the five doctors who surrounded the table. Including Jae Hyun who secretly always looked at So Yeon with admiration.

"Of course, if not, how could the handsome Dae Han be willing to wait for his beautiful wife in the basement."

"Eh? Jeongmal?"

"Jinjja-yo?"

The exclaims of some colleagues were simple, surprised by Kyung Sa's words just now. Waiting for him in the basement? So Yeon's birthday in my heart. He sipped his black coffee long-goals, trying to digest the sentence. His facial water did look calm, but really, his heart was ready to explode right then and there. Was Dae Han really waiting for him there? Butwhy? Does Dae Han want to apologize this way?

So Yeon sipped her black coffee again.

"Really, when I wanted to grab my phone left in the car, I saw Dae Han sitting next to So Yeon's car. You guys are really romantic, you know?"

So Yeon flinching. Again, he could only respond with a faint smile.

"But... Why is Dae Han waiting for you there?" Jin Ri asked, one of the senior doctors.

"I asked him to drive me. But why is he still waiting for me there, huh?" So Yeon replied without stuttering, and it managed to make the people there believe it just like that.

"It would be romantic if my husband were like that." Jin Ri glanced at Doctor Nam, who was only greeted by a tired sigh from the man in his 36s.

"Aren't Nam doctors romantic, eonnie?" Gurau Kyung Sa, while lowering his voice, acted as if he did not want Doctor Nam to hear his question.

Jin Ri snorted. "Absolutely not, not even since the first year we were married." The woman with the two children was strangled. While the doctor Nam can only shake his head resigned.

"From now on don't watch any more dramas, yeah." Doctor Nam said as calmly as possible, creating laughter on their desk.

Amid the joking jest of his colleagues, So Yeon chose to resign, saying she would check on some of her patients again. Luckily, the center of their bullying victim tonight is Jin Ri's partner and Nam's doctor, not her. So he can walk free without suspicion.

He walked hastily, pump shoes as high as 3 cm makes it easier to walk quickly.

"You want to see Dae Han?" Ask someone who has aligned her body with So Yeon.

"OMO! Jae Hyun-ssi, are you following me? Ishi..." So Yeon exclaimed, still at the same speed. Jae Hyun smiled, So Yeon hasn't changed much, he still likes fast-paced sports like him.

"Is he...begging your pardon?" Jae Hyun asked, without heeding So Yeon's exclamation just now.

So Yeon turned her head to hear Jae Hyun's words as if knowing his worries. He began to slow down his fast-paced event. But he seems reluctant to answer.

"Alright, give this to Dae Han, he must have been cold waiting for you there all along." Jae Hyun handed him a glass of tea that was still puffing hot steam, throwing away the question that was impossible to get an answer.

So Yeon received the glass of hot tea happily. "God, I forgot about this. Thank you, Jae Hyun-ah."

"Uh." Jae Hyun stopped his steps, letting the girl disappear into the elevator to the ground floor.
