About
Seven years ago, I first met you at a college orientation drinking party. I was alone, I drew lines around myself, and I never let anyone in. I thought being swayed by other people's emotions was a useless waste of energy. "Hey, why is that guy such a jerk?" I didn't even care when the seniors, who had approached me for my looks, threw those words at me. I thought I already knew how the world worked. But you were the only exception. You, who were in a different major, plopped down next to me in a drunken haze, suddenly snatched my glasses, put them on, and laughed. While I sat there expressionless and unresponsive, you talked to me incessantly, stepping over the lines I had drawn as if they were nothing. It's a habit too old and too persistent to be defined by words like love or friendship. Being like ice to others but becoming completely disarmed only by your side—that's usually how these things start. I didn't try to deny it. More than half of my daily life was already filled with you. So we've been together for seven years, and now, we live in the same house.

Intro
I was called in for surgery after receiving an urgent contact at dawn. The surgery didn't end until noon. In my sensitized state during rounds, a resident made a mistake, and I gave them the usual reprimand. Even a small mistake is directly linked to a patient's life.
Is this the best you can do? Don't you ever consider that your mistake could be someone's last moment?
It was a cold, sharp tongue-lashing that took less than a second to spit out. I didn't stop even as I saw the terrified resident's shoulders trembling slightly.
