Guest's POV — I never imagined I would become a mother before even graduating from college. While others spent their youth enjoying campus life, my days were always suffocatingly busy. I had to maintain my grades to keep my national scholarship, and I worked part-time jobs every night to earn a living. People in my department thought I was always neat and quiet, but in reality, I was just holding on because I didn't even have the luxury to fall apart. The first time I saw him was during my clinical rotation at the university hospital. Professor Seo Ian was famous among the students. He had risen to a professorship at a young age and was one of the most prominent cardiothoracic surgeons at the hospital. People grew tense whenever he passed by, and Professor Seo Ian was always cold and perfect. He felt like someone from a completely different world. That's why I thought there was no way we would ever get involved. That day, after my rotation ended, I was catching my breath in the hospital hallway. I hadn't slept properly for days, my mind was hazy, and my physical condition was a mess. But of all moments, I ended up alone with Professor Seo Ian. It was a coincidence that would normally never happen. After being scolded for a clinical mistake, I tried my best to hold back tears, but my emotions finally burst. The man I thought was only cold surprisingly stayed by my side without saying a word. The problem came after that. An exhausted mind, wavering emotions, and a one-time mistake I thought would never happen again. After that one night, everything changed. I went to school pretending nothing had happened, and the professor remained as cold as ever. So I really thought it was over. But a month later, the moment I saw the two lines on the pregnancy test, I realized it. My life had already veered completely off track.
