When I Reach You

A man wearing a luxury black suit that is worth hundreds of is sitting elegantly with his legs crossed.

The commonplace figure holding a coffee cup was like a pictorial, and the eyes of many women passing by it were constantly directed to him.

Sunwoo didn’t notice any of those gazes. I was insensitive because it always happened, and it was also because I was staring out the window endlessly, absorbed in my own thoughts.

A week ago.

It is a number that has not been handed over by a woman to repay the favor.

“I’m really dumbfounded.”

To repay you, grace?

Leave it like that and write down the wrong number and run away?

The more I thought about it, the more I became dumbfounded and burst into flames, and put the glass that had come close to my lips into the saucer again.

I thought things would be progressing a little now, but I’m back in place again.

I don’t know the name, I don’t know the number.

Where and how do you find a woman who is being chased?

I asked to save the number, and thank you for the name field. No phone number.

Yeah, my fault for not checking.

The opponent arrived in front of Seon-woo, who was chewing on the day’s events with his forehead on his forehead.

It was like choosing a method that was slightly more efficient than going around looking for her.

Sunwoo stood tall and greeted her warmly. He forced the corners of his lips up and tried to make his expression as bright as possible.

please let this be the last time

“This is Yoon Seon-woo.”

Please, may the woman of destiny appear.

“This is Han Ye-ri.”

Yeri, as if embarrassed by Seonwoo’s outstretched hand, responded to his handshake. For a moment, Seonwoo’s forehead twisted slightly, but Yeri didn’t notice.

I did it anyway, and it was like that.

Maybe a woman who is okay with touching will appear like fate. It’s the twenty-fifth as of today.

This confrontation is going to end soon.

“Hey, wait, go to the bathroom.”

The corner of Sunwoo’s mouth hardened coldly as he smiled and turned around. A deep sigh cut through the still air.

***

Seonwoo’s expression was serious as he stood in front of the elevator after making a good match.

Even though the elevator door was open, Seonwoo, who was deep in thought as he touched his lower jaw, did not get on the elevator because he did not recognize that the door was open.

The door that had been opened in the meantime was closed without burning anyone.

How can I find a rumor that I found it well?

He raised and lowered the toe of his shoe, tapping the marble floor as if to think of something.

Just at that moment when they were at a loss, Sunwoo’s shoes stopped moving.

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

Suddenly, I thought of the moneylenders who had made a fuss in the bathroom.

Seonwoo took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket and made a call somewhere.

“This is Yoon Seon-woo. The guys who made a fuss in the bathroom a week ago. Do you have any contact information left?”

[Yes, Professor, there will be. We will look for it and contact you right away.]

Seonwoo hurriedly hung up the phone and quickly pressed the down button two or three times.

I guess I’ll have to go to the hospital myself.

I was just about to get off the elevator. When a woman came into view at the door, I stuck my hand in my pocket to make sure I couldn’t reach it.

I stepped aside from the woman I ran into for a while, but suddenly she turned around and pretended not to know.

“Sunwoo Yoon!”

Out of habit, she almost grabbed his sleeve, but she managed to squeeze the hand that had been outstretched into the air.

Seonwoo turned around and looked at the woman as if wondering.

“Joo Hye-ji?”

“Oh, you were at the clinic this afternoon, right?”

“uh.”

It was only then that Seonwoo glanced at Hyeji standing in front of him.

Her long wavy hair was hanging down in a light mint-colored chiffon dress, and her bright face, as if she had worked hard for a long time, was unfamiliar.

I almost didn’t recognize, no, I didn’t.

Seonwu moved toward the parking lot again and greeted Hyeji.

“Come on, see you at the hospital.”

When Seonwoo turned around, Hyeji called him urgently.

“Sunwoo Yoon, are you busy?”

“why?”

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

***

The two sat facing each other in a crowded cafe.

Hyeji grabbed the teacup containing the blue herbal tea with both hands and took a sip. The fragrant herbal scent filled my mouth.

While staring at Seon-wu, who was sitting across from him and staring blankly out the window, Hye-ji opened his mouth first.

“Isn’t the name of this herbal tea pretty?”

“Midnight Blue?”

“huh. How to say, it is very fragrant.”

“This is the only herbal tea that the CEO blends himself, but it has been discontinued, perhaps because he was away. If you drink that, you won’t be able to drink herbal tea from other cafes.”

Seonwoo, who slightly raised the corner of his mouth, drank in the tea as if savoring the incense.

“Did you see Sun again?”

“uh. It looked good and ate it up.”

I said I ate it, but why am I laughing?

Hyeji, who could almost hear the corner of her mouth, tried to hide her expression by forcing herself to drink hot tea.

“What the hell do you want to see?”

“A woman you can touch.”

“Poop.”

At his unexpected words, Hyeji managed to stop the tea she drank from almost spilling out of her mouth with the palm of her hand.

“Oh sorry.”

If he had jumped out, he could have been kicked out already.

“Could you… … . Are your tastes a bit unique? Is it just that ordinary people can’t handle it?”

“You’ve been looking at me for 10 years.”

“If I look at 10 years, do I need to know that? And 13 years.”

Seonwu looked at Hyeji, whose face turned red for some reason, then stuck his hand into his pocket and took out hand sanitizer and squeezed a generous amount of hand sanitizer into his hand.

“You know, my chronic disease.”

Then he rubbed his palms and raised his eyebrows.

“ah. that.”

“Uh, that.”

forgot for a while That he absolutely hates being touched by others.

He usually wore gloves or kept his hands in his pockets to make sure he could reach them.

In the eyes of others who are not familiar with Seonwoo’s inner circumstances, his good looks and wealth. Even more so, a man with all of his abilities as a doctor seemed to have a high nose.

Hyeji lowered her head and looked down at her hand that was touching the teacup. Suddenly, his hands felt dirty and he clenched them tightly.

What he couldn’t reach, even my hands. Again, Hyeji’s gaze turned to his long, well-stretched fingers.

You’re looking for a woman who can touch that hand, right? Couldn’t that be me?

“So, how are you going to get married?”

“I’m going to try at least.”

“Is that what you’re trying to do?”

“What’s not going to happen?”

As Seonwoo drank the tea without answering, Hyeji looked frustrated and brushed her bangs up and asked directly.

“Why do you want to get married so much?”

“hospital.”

Seeing Hyeji’s morale, which had been on the verge of giving a speech a while ago, cooled down in an instant, Seonwoo’s mouth went blank for some reason.

“ah… … The chairman of the board made a super strong water.”

Yes, even if you think about it, my situation is really bad, right?

Seonwu, who couldn’t reply, drank herbal tea while hiding his bitter expression.

“You just need to make a clause about skinship.”

“This is the twenty-fifth meeting I have had until today. Do you think you haven’t tried?”

“You don’t like it?”

“I’ve never seen you curse with your eyes.”

Hearing Seonwoo’s words, Hyeji couldn’t hold back her laughter, so she laughed for a long time, then continued speaking while running her index finger through her tears.

“but… … But even the president knows. You can’t make skinship with your bare hands.”

“I’m doing well as a doctor, and there’s no excuse for that in front of my grandfather.”

“I’m not going to wear gloves on my marriage… … .”

Hyeji smiled bitterly at Seonwoo’s words and lazily leaned against the back of the chair.

“You know, my grandfather is quick-witted. You have to look like a real couple in grandpa’s eyes. Even if I’m not a loving husband, I’m saying that I want to make an effort.”

If it was a marriage that had to be done, I wanted to do it similarly, even if I was not as good as others. To do that, I wished I was at least a woman who could hold her hand.

If so, is it greed?

With that woman, all of this might be possible.

Seonwoo’s eyebrows narrowed, perhaps because of the woman who hadn’t left his mind all day.

Hyeji’s eyes widened as she listened to him.

“You mean you want to be a real couple?”

“It’s okay to get married in a hurry because of the hospital, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to pretend to be a show window… … .”

Seonwoo murmured and patted my ear lobe. Then, as if remembering something, he casually threw a question at Hyeji.

“Anyway, weren’t you going up?”

“huh. It looked good and ate it up.”

“Correct?”

Hyeji sipped her tea without answering and furrowed her eyebrows in affirmation.

“So dress up.”

“Why, how are you wearing my clothes? Are you surprised at how pretty it is?”

Seonwoo, who was holding a teacup, glanced at Hyeji’s attire.

“Can you tell me objectively?”

“Do you want to see me swearing with my eyes again?”

“You or me.”

Feeding on Seonwoo’s mouth, which had been expressionless all along. Laughter spread.

Hyeji, who was staring at Seonwoo, chewed her lips as if to say something.

Then, impulsively, he spoke out.

“Sunwoo, will you marry me?”

At just the right time, Seonwoo’s cell phone ringtone overlapped with Hyeji’s words.

Perhaps it was the phone call he had been waiting for, Seonwoo said ‘wait a minute’ and held out his palm in front of Hyeji’s eyes.

“Did you find it? Oh no. I will go to the hospital now. yes. See you later.”

It was said somewhat impulsively, so Hyeji was actually a little nervous about what he would do if he heard it.

Sunwoo asked as he impassively stuck his phone into the pocket of his suit jacket.

“What did you say earlier?”

Judging by how he behaved casually, it seemed that he had not heard what he had just said. Should I say this is fortunate?

“no.”

Without hesitation, he stood up, grabbing his wallet and car keys from the table.

“Master Master. i have to go I’m going to the hospital, but I’ll take you in the same direction.”

When Hyeji shook her head, Sunwoo nodded as if he understood.

Looking at his back without any regrets, Hyeji swallowed the bitter herbal tea in her mouth.

“Bastard, ask me one more time.”

On the way up, I took the business card handed to me and entered the professor’s office.

Lying on the sofa, I stared at the paper with the contact information.

“What do you ask?”

what’s the girl’s name? Do you know the contact information?

Or do you know where you live?

If you ask why do you need it? what should i answer?

My head was congested with question marks that constantly popped up.

“I’ll teach you something.”

I made two of my kids like that, so it’s fortunate that I don’t get retaliated against.

He heard a knock on the door as if to cut off his miscellaneous thoughts, which had been immersed in his thoughts for a while.

Seonwoo gently pressed his brow bone and raised his body.

“yes.”

“Is there a professor? Since you didn’t answer the phone, I’m here to leave a note.”

“I came in a little while ago. Come on in.”

It was a tired voice.

After Seonwoo’s permission was given, the head nurse opened the door and came in.

“I got a call from a woman. He told me again to make sure to pass it on to the professor.”

“Who are you?”

“My name is Ji Eun-jae.”

Seonwoo let out a small breath.

“I don’t know anyone like that.”

“yes. All right. I will pass it on like that.”

The head nurse smiled and turned around.

The door closed, and Seon-wu leaned back on the sofa while chewing the unfamiliar name two or three times in his head.

Eunjae Ji? Where do you think you’ve heard the name?

Is it the patient’s name?

Eunjae Ji, Eunjae Ji.

Seonwoo’s body, which was lazily leaning on the sofa, bounced like a live fish.

“Ji Eun-jae?”

In an instant, Seonwoo opened the door to the professor’s office and shouted at the head nurse who was a few steps away.

“Chief Nurse, wait! What’s your name?”
