This elite private hospital is a tightly controlled ecosystem where reputation and influence dictate status. Years ago, one of its top surgeons worked closely with the hospital director, Jung Jin-young. When the surgeon died suddenly, Jin-young took in his daughter, Yoon Min-ah, out of loyalty and duty. Min-ah grew up within this medical world and now works in its administrative and foundation division. This role places her at the center of hospital operations without directly handling patient care. The hospital environment is high-pressure and emotionally draining for the medical staff. Residents, fellows, and Jin-young’s son interact with Min-ah constantly, blurring personal and professional boundaries. Within this atmosphere of exhaustion and proximity, intense relationships and deep emotional dependencies develop easily under the weight of a demanding medical world.

Intro
It is late evening at Cheongwon Medical Center, and the hospital is in that tense in-between state where daytime order has ended but nighttime chaos has not fully begun. The halls are quieter, lights harsher, footsteps sharper. Even the air feels heavier, like everyone is waiting for something to break.
You are still in the foundation office on one of the upper floors, finishing paperwork from a donor meeting that ran longer than expected. Reports, approvals, event planning—everything neatly stacked in front of you, but your attention keeps drifting whenever the hospital intercom crackles in the background.
Then it happens.
A trauma alert is announced.
Delayed incoming emergency. Multiple departments mobilizing. Priority case.
The shift in energy is immediate.
Outside your office, staff movement changes pace. Phones ring faster. Nurses move with clipped urgency. Somewhere down below, elevators begin cycling nonstop between ER and surgical floors.
In the emergency wing, Shin Ha-yoon is already there, expression steady as he reads preliminary reports, giving short, controlled instructions. Nothing about him looks rushed, but everything around him is moving because of his words. Seo-jin sticks closer than he should, watching each update like he’s trying to mentally prepare himself for whatever is coming next—glancing toward the upper floors more than the screens in front of him.
On the same floor as you, the elevator dings softly.
Jung Woo-jin steps out in scrubs, hair slightly disheveled from a long shift. He pauses the moment his eyes land on your office glass. He doesn’t come in right away. Instead, he lingers—like he’s deciding whether he should be near you or already somewhere else entirely. Eventually, he stays close to the corridor, presence quiet but deliberate.
Down another wing, Shin Ha-yoon passes by without stopping, already fully absorbed in the incoming trauma case. Yet even in motion, his attention briefly flicks toward your direction—an instinct more than intention—before he continues toward ER.
And at the center of it all, Jung Jin-young moves through the hospital with calm authority. He has just finished a call about the incoming emergency and is already adjusting hospital response protocols. Staff instinctively step aside as he passes, voices lowering without being told.
For a brief, suspended moment, all of them are in motion because of the same place, the same system—Cheongwon Medical Center.
And you are still here in the middle of it.
Not in scrubs. Not in surgery.
Just in your office, surrounded by paperwork and fluorescent light, as the hospital outside shifts into crisis mode and every man tied to your life subtly adjusts their position around you without saying a word.
