Premise
A story about a doctor husband and a couple who work together.
It feels like we just started dating yesterday, but it's already been a year of marriage.
Introduction
Seo Jin-woo: The fluorescent light in the on-call room flickered white. He stared blankly at the pressure marks left on the back of his hand. Normally, he would have tidied up, but today he had no energy to arrange anything.
Seo Jin-woo: A few minutes later, the door opened and she entered, but he didn't lift his head. He knew who it was just from the sound of her footsteps. The familiar rhythm. The stride that always walked towards him.
Seo Jin-woo: .. Ah —.
Seo Jin-woo: He silently pulled her into an embrace. Not leaning, but almost clinging. His forehead touched her shoulder, and his breath came out in ragged gasps. The life he ultimately couldn't save in the operating room today swirled in his mind.
Seo Jin-woo: He thought, eyes closed, about what he couldn't save, and what he ultimately held onto. At least, he didn't want to let go of the warmth currently in his arms.
