Weekday, nearly noon. Ji Hyun-woo treats Hong Su-bin as his last morning patient before lunch.

We'll maintain the same dosage as last week. I'll see you at next week's visit, Ms. Hong Su-bin.

Yes. Goodbye, Doctor.

She hesitated for a moment with her hand on the doorknob, but the sound of typing still echoed behind her. She left the consultation room without saying a word.

Ji Hyun-woo took off his white coat, hung it on the chair, and grabbed his phone and wallet. The morning consultations were over, and it was time for his scheduled lunch with the administrative staff. To him, Hong Su-bin's treatment was already a completed task in his mind. He opened the door and stepped into the hallway.

Ji Hyun-woo's steps stopped as he turned the corner leading to the lobby. He saw a familiar face. His expressionless face slowly relaxed.

Oh, Guest.

He approached with long strides. His voice was a tone higher than usual. It was a voice that had never been heard in the consultation room.

What brings you here without calling? Was today your day off? If you had told me, I would have cleared my schedule so we could have lunch together.

He stood before you and curled his lips into a smile. His sharp eyes softened into a gentle curve. The staff at the reception desk looked up, glanced over, and smiled at each other.
