The bright morning sun cut beautifully through the tall living room windows of the residential flat, casting long, golden streaks across the rug. Inside his shared bedroom, Kim Jun-u had just finished taking a warm shower to clear his head. He sat gingerly on the edge of the mattress, his movements exceptionally slow and careful as he pulled his civilian clothes over his frame. Suddenly, the sharp, echoing sound of the front doorbell rang clearly through the quiet house. Junu stopped buttoning his cotton shirt, leaving it completely open down his chest in his haste. He rapidly rolled his mechanical wheelchair into the corridor and pulled the heavy wooden door wide open.Han Chae-won was standing right at the threshold, holding her canvas bag. The exact microsecond the wood panel cleared and her eyes took in Junu with his bare chest showing, her cheeks turned a bright, violent red. She quickly gasped out loud, blushing furiously from the sudden intimacy, and forcefully turned her soft face completely away toward the corridor wall."Oh! Ah... sorry, Chae-won!" Junu stammered in a massive, flustered panic, his face instantly turning a deep shade of pink as he tried to pull his collar closed. "I... I just got out of the shower stall and was still getting dressed into my clothes when the bell rang. I'm so incredibly sorry for the layout!""It's... it's perfectly okay!" Chae-won's voice hit a high, incredibly shy frequency, her fingers clenching her bag strap as she kept her gaze locked onto the wallpaper. "Don't worry about the situation at all, Junu."The two of them walked inside the apartment layout, the heavy front door clicking shut behind her boots. Junu rolled his frame back into the center of his bedroom, his brow furrowing. He slowly, stubbornly, and with great physical difficulty tried to stand upright from his wheelchair seat to slide the fabric of his shirt over his broad shoulders. Witnessing his clumsy struggle from the hallway, Chae-won rushed straight to the bedroom door frame, her expression turning anxious."Junu, wait a single minute!" Chae-won called out, stepping into his personal space. "Let my hands help your build with that shirt adjustment.""No, it's completely fine, Chae-won," Junu insisted, stubbornly shaking his head as he refused to look up at her face. "I can easily do it by my own self. Thank you sincerely for the offer.""Alright, if your mouth says so..." Chae-won murmured softly, stepping back.She turned her body around to walk past his frame to clear up the cluttered room files. But just as her boots stepped exceptionally close to his side, Junu's injured leg, heavily stiffened from the physical weight of the plaster cast, suddenly and violently locked up completely at the knee joint. His balance shattered instantly. He tripped forward blindly through the air, his hands flailing, and fell directly over Han Chae-won's frame. The sudden physical impact knocked both of their bodies straight onto the soft mattress of the bed.Time stood completely, utterly still between them. They stared deeply into each other's eyes from mere inches away, their breathing shallow under the dim light. Junu's heart beat wildly against his ribs like a racing engine. Realizing the intense, shocking proximity of their faces, he quickly, frantically scrambled up, pushing his physical weight back onto his wheelchair seat."I am so incredibly, profoundly sorry!" Junu gasped out, his face burning with absolute, total embarrassment as he adjusted his messy clothes. "I... my leg cast just locked up out of nowhere. I completely couldn't hold my own balance against the floor.""It's... it's perfectly fine, Junu!" Chae-won stood up quickly, frantically fixing the wrinkles in her outfit as her face turned fully red. "I will mandatory come back to clean your room files later. Let my build go to the kitchen right now and make a hot breakfast first!"She rushed out of the bedroom corridor in a total hurry. Junu let out a heavy groan, aggressively hitting his own forehead with his hand in pure sibling frustration. 'Ugh, why on earth am I like this today?!' he scolded himself fiercely inside his mind. 'Why on earth couldn't my body just hold its balance for a single minute? What on earth is she going to think of my character now?!'A little while later, the rich, mouth-watering aroma of hot traditional food filled every corner of the house. Chae-won gently, carefully pushed Junu's wheelchair up to the dining table, setting down a beautiful, freshly cooked plate of breakfast. Junu looked up at her soft features, his nervousness melting."Chae-won... please, sit down," Junu requested softly, gesturing to the opposite chair. "Eat breakfast with my build today."Chae-won paused for a brief microsecond, a very sweet, soft smile breaking across her lips before she nodded gracefully. "Alright, thank you for the invitation."The two of them sat together at the wooden table, laughing, talking warmly, and sharing stories as they ate their meal, the morning awkwardness completely and totally melting away under the golden light.[EXT. PROJECT SITE – OEAM FOLK VILLAGE – DAY]Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, the corporate office design team was incredibly busy working across the open temple construction site, methodically checking blueprints, layout coordinates, and raw materials. But Kim Seo-ah was completely, hopelessly distracted, staring blankly into space as she leaned against a stone pillar. She was feeling incredibly restless, miserable, and full of deep regret about her harsh, aggressive disclaimer words back at the breakfast pavilion.'Ugh... why on earth did my mouth say that so sharply in front of the entire department assembly?' Seo-ah thought to herself, her heart heavy with deep, protective worry. 'What exactly must Dr. Hyun-woo be thinking about my character right now? His panicky brain probably thinks I don't care about his presence or hold a single drop of warm feelings for his build at all... but that's absolutely not true.'Dr. Sung Jin-woo noticed her worried, brooding facial expression and walked up smoothly next to her cubicle space, a comforting, polite smile on his lips. "Hey, Kim Seo-ah. Don't worry so incredibly much about what happened during the breakfast pavilion introductions. It was strictly just a funny, chaotic misunderstanding between coworkers. Don't let it cloud your creative mind today."He smoothly started chatting with her about the amazing, bizarre coincidence of their respective groups meeting in the exact same remote mountain village complex. But Seo-ah wasn't really listening to a single word of his medical analysis. Her dark eyes were constantly darting far across the grassy open field, hyper-focused on watching Dr. Hyun-woo's tall figure, who was standing in the distance talking to his junior medical staff.'Why on earth is he not even looking at my direction today?' Seo-ah thought to herself, getting intensely annoyed as her brow furrowed. 'What is completely wrong with his temper now? Did his stubborn build seriously take my disclaimer words straight to his heart?!'Turning her body toward Dr. Sung Jin-woo, she cut his sentence off abruptly with a firm, manager-like tone. "Right... thank you sincerely, Dr. Sung. We can fully chat about the logistics later during the shift. I really, mandatory need to focus all my attention on these temple blueprints right now.""Of course, Manager Kim," Dr. Jin-woo nodded gracefully, entirely understanding the boundary. "I need to head over to the medical camp setup coordinates right now anyway. See you later."[EXT. MEDICAL CAMP LOCATION – SHORTLY AFTER]A short distance away, the junior university hospital medical team members were carrying heavy crates of medicine and surgical gear, gathering in a circle around Chief Senior Doctor Park. They were fiercely debating where to officially pitch their clinical camp tents."Senior Doctor, where exactly should our fingers be pitching the main tents today?" Dr. Sung Jin-woo inquired, reviewing the map files."We should go over there to the left side of the valley," Chief Dr. Park commanded firmly, pointing a finger toward the wide-open, empty grass field. "It's wide open for the transport.""No way!" Dr. Hyun-woo stepped forward instantly into the center of the ring, pointing his finger aggressively in the absolute opposite direction toward a shaded copse. "We should mandatory go to the right side! Right over there under those massive, thick ancient trees."The entire medical department staff turned their heads in total, absolute confusion, staring straight at Hyun-woo's tense posture. Chief Doctor Park narrowed his dark eyes, looking thoroughly, deeply annoyed by his star surgeon's constant morning antics."Dr. Hyun-woo!" Chief Dr. Park scolded him sternly, tapping his clipboard with force. "Stop being so incredibly stubborn and cut out these weird, dramatic antics immediately! Why on earth are your hands pointing over there to the right? The village elders explicitly and formally prepared the left ground terrain for our camp setup. We are going left."Hyun-woo shot a long, desperate look over at the right side of the field layout, where Kim Seo-ah and her architecture corporate team were currently working just a few meters away under the cool tree shade. His heart desperately, helplessly wanted to stay as physically close to her build as possible all day long. He quickly cleared his throat loudly to manufacture a professional, clinical excuse."Senior Doctor, please think about the camp parameters logically for a second," Hyun-woo_ scanned the terrain, adjusting his coat. "The right side under the ancient trees is the exact center point of the entire village coordinates. It will be much easier for the elderly local patients to walk over to our desks. Plus, the thick natural shade will keep the waiting patients completely comfortable while they stand in line. Isn't that layout much better for a healthcare camp?"The surrounding junior residential nurses and doctors looked at each other, murmuring as they started nodding their heads in complete agreement with his thesis. "Wow, Dr. Hyun-woo is right. That medical logic actually makes a massive ton of sense for the elders.""Dr. Sung Jin-woo," Chief Dr. Park turned his head, raising a cool eyebrow. "What exactly do you think about his layout? Does his surgical logic hold up to the charts?"Dr. Jin-woo smiled warmly, his sharp vision immediately seeing straight through Hyun-woo's true romantic motive, but deciding to let the amusing layout slide, he nodded. "Yes, Senior Doctor. Dr. Hyun-woo's center point thesis is actually very practical for the community. It's a good camp location.""Fine!" Chief Dr. Park relented, waving his hand. "Change of corporate plans. Move the heavy medicine crates to the right side under the shade immediately!"As the medical team moved forward to drop the gear, Dr. Min-jae intentionally dropped back from the line, walking right next to Dr. Hyun-woo's long strides. He aggressively slapped his shoulder, smirking playfully in pure gossip mode."Wow, Dr. Hyun-woo... center point of the village coordinates, huh?" Min-jae teased in a low, suffocating whisper through his teeth. "Your build just desperately wanted an official clinical excuse to stand right next to Kim Seo-ah's desk all day long! You are completely, entirely whipped by her bird's nest.""Shut your mouth, Min-jae," Hyun-woo blushed bright pink, accelerating his pace down the grass. "Just carry your heavy boxes and shut up."[EXT. OPEN FIELD / SITE – CONTINUOUS]Both specialized teams were now working completely parallel to each other across the beautiful, sunlit autumn field layout. The university doctors were checking local patients' heartbeats, and the corporate architecture team was managing layout materials and timbers. Near the edge of the perimeter fence, Ma Ha-rin was busy organizing her design files, while Mr. Choi Sun-woo stood just a few feet away, his intense executive eyes locked onto her profile with deep, protective affection.Ha-rin suddenly turned her body around to grab a pencil and caught his sharp gaze staring directly and deeply at her face. Sun-woo instantly panicked, his executive composure shattering as he sharply snapped his head away toward the mountain peaks, pretending to be profoundly, intensely interested in the cloud formations of the sky.'Why on earth does Mr. Sun-woo keep staring at my face like that today?' Ha-rin thought to herself, thoroughly and deeply confused by his weird energy. 'And why exactly did he look away so fast like a guilty kid? This trip is getting weird...'She subconsciously reached her fingers into her winter jacket pocket, her fingertips brushing against the cold, brushed metal edges of the hidden time-freezing couple watch to ensure its safety. Across the open grass field, Mr. Choi Sun-woo took a deep, ragged breath to settle his racing heart, trying his absolute best to gather his corporate courage as he waited for the absolute perfect milestone moment to confess his true childhood playground identity to her heart.[EXT. MEDICAL TENT – CONTINUOUS]Inside the newly pitched canvas medical tent, Dr. Choi Hyun-woo was carefully listening to an old villager's heartbeat with his stethoscope, but his dark eyes were constantly, restlessly stealing glances out the flap door toward Kim Seo-ah's figure across the dirt path."Bro, seriously, just stop this madness right now," Dr. Min-jae sighed heavily, tossing a medical clipboard onto the desk panel with a dull slap as he looked at him in pity. "How much more is your system going to stare at her build today? Even after she completely, aggressively denied having anything to do with your name in front of the entire dining table assembly this morning, your brain still honestly thinks she is going to accept your feelings?Dr. Choi Hyun-woo's expression turned utterly serious, a deep and unyielding determination anchoring his handsome features under the medical tent flap. "It doesn't matter a single bit what her mouth said to the department this morning, Min-jae. I know exactly what is locked inside my own heart. One day, mark my words, she will completely accept my feelings."Dr. Min-jae shrugged his shoulders carelessly, tossing a roll of medical gauze into a nearby tray. "Alright, fine. Suit your own self, you absolute, hopeless romantic."[EXT. OFFICE SITE AREA – ACCIDENT SCENE]Across the dirt path, the corporate architecture site area was a hive of intense physical tracking. Kim Seo-ah stood completely, helplessly lost in her own brooding thoughts, holding her blueprint clipboard tightly against her chest. She was standing directly and dangerously beneath a massive, towering metal scaffolding structure where local village workers were hoisting heavy iron construction rods to secure the temple framework.Suddenly, a high-altitude worker's hand slipped on the grease. A massive, incredibly heavy iron rod broke completely loose from the pulley layout and started sliding rapidly off the platform high above, plummeting straight down.Dr. Hyun-woo spotted the falling metal rod from across the road through the tent opening. His dark eyes widened in pure, unadulterated terror as his medical composure shattered."KIM SEO-AH!!! MOVE!!!" Hyun-woo screamed at the absolute top of his lungs, his voice cutting violently through the valley.Without a single microsecond of hesitation, his body bolted forward. He sprinted across the dirt path faster than a lightning bolt, his white doctor's coat flying wildly behind his long strides."Hyun-woo?!" Dr. Min-jae gasped, witnessing his sudden, desperate launch in shock. "What on earth happened?! Hyun-woo!!"The entire construction site instantly dissolved into pure, chaotic frenzy. Chief Senior Doctor Park screamed in absolute corporate anger from the medical steps, shouting for Hyun-woo to get back to his post, while the corporate office design team stopped working entirely to see the star surgeon racing toward their cubicle perimeter like a complete madman.Seo-ah panicked, her heart skipping a beat as she watched his frantic figure. 'What is completely wrong with his temper today?' she thought in a total fluster. 'Why on earth is he running toward my direction like that?!'"WATCH OUT!!!" a village worker screamed frantically from the high platform above, waving his arms. "LOOK UP!!! LOOK UP NOW!!!"Seo-ah snapped her head upward, her dark eyes widening in pure horror as the massive, jagged iron rod plummeted straight toward her face. Paralyzed with absolute, blinding fear, her boots froze entirely onto the spot. She tightly squeezed her eyes shut and let out a terrifying, blood-curdling scream."AAAAHHH!!!"Right at the exact, split-second microsecond before the heavy metal rod could crush her frame to pieces, Dr. Hyun-woo dived violently through the air. He threw his entire, powerful physical body weight directly into her torso, tackling her hard to the side.They crashed heavily onto the grass turf, rolling over each other in a flurry of limbs just as the massive iron rod slammed violently onto the dirt right where Kim Seo-ah's boots had been standing a fraction of a second prior. The heavy steel impact let out a massive, deafening, and ringing metallic thud that vibrated across the valley.The surrounding grass field fell into dead, suffocating silence. Dr. Hyun-woo was lying completely over Kim Seo-ah's frame, shielding her fragile body entirely with his own broad chest.Seo-ah slowly, carefully opened her eyes, gasping for breath as her heart hammered wildly against her ribs. She stared straight up into his intense, fiercely panicked eyes, completely and utterly mesmerized by his close proximity."Thank God..." Hyun-woo breathed heavily, his deep voice trembling violently with pure, raw fear as his hands desperately checked her face for injuries. "Thank God you're okay. Are you hurt anywhere?! Speak to my face, Kim Seo-ah!"He quickly looked down her frame and noticed a sharp, bleeding gash slicing across her ankle where the jagged edge of the falling iron rod had scraped her skin as they tumbled. Her foot was slightly twisted against the turf."Your foot is bleeding!" Hyun-woo's dark eyes turned instantly furious with absolute, protective worry.Without asking for a single drop of permission from her lips, Dr. Hyun-woo smoothly slipped his powerful arms beneath her lower back and knees. In one swift, effortless motion, he lifted Kim Seo-ah completely off the grass into a secure bridal carry.Seo-ah's jaw dropped completely in pure shock. She instinctively, automatically wrapped her long arms around his neck for physical balance, staring blankly at his sharp jawline as he marched aggressively, rapidly back across the path toward the main medical tent. The entire corporate office team and the university hospital staff stood frozen in an absolute circle, smiling warmly at the incredibly intense, romantic scene unfolding before their eyes."Ugh!!!" Nurse Han Ga-on screamed, stomping her foot violently against the dirt road, her face burning with pure, unadulterated jealousy and rage as she clutched her clipboard. "This is absolutely, mentally unbelievable!"[INT. MEDICAL CAMP TENT – CONTINUOUS]Dr. Hyun-woo burst into the canvas medical tent and gently, meticulously placed Kim Seo-ah down on top of a traditional wooden examination table. Within seconds, Ma Ha-rin, Mr. Choi Sun-woo, and the rest of the anxious office employees crowded tightly around the entrance, looking incredibly worried."Kim!" Ha-rin rushed into the tent, her face pale. "Oh my god, are you truly okay?!"Dr. Sung Jin-woo ran into the tent right behind her heels, his clinical expression pale with deep concern. "Kim Seo-ah! What on earth happened outside?! Are you alright? Did the heavy metal hit your body anywhere else?!""Everyone in this room, just shut your mouths and sit quietly!" Hyun-woo snapped completely, shouting furiously at the top of his lungs as his protective instincts took over. "Stop bombarding her with questions right now!"The entire canvas tent fell into dead, suffocating silence under his authoritative roar. Dr. Hyun-woo turned his head sharply toward Kim Seo-ah, his dark eyes burning with a chaotic mixture of defensive anger and deep, unfiltered affection."And you! Kim Seo-ah!" Hyun-woo scolded her fiercely, his brow furrowing as he leaned in close. "What on earth is completely wrong with your brain?! Who on earth tightly closes their eyes and stands perfectly still on the ground when a massive iron rod is falling straight on their head?! Tell my face! If my eyes hadn't seen the layout in time, if something absolutely terrible had happened to your build today... what on earth was I supposed to do with my life?!"Seo-ah just stared straight back at his flustered face, her heart completely, helplessly melting at the realization of how deeply and desperately he cared for her physical safety.Hyun-woo turned his chest toward the tent door, his voice booming. "Nurse Han Ga-on! Bring the emergency trauma kit right into this tent right now! Hurry up your steps!"Nurse Ga-on marched inside the tent with a rigid, angry posture and violently slammed the plastic medical box onto the wooden table with a loud crash. Dr. Sung Jin-woo watched Dr. Hyun-woo's raw, intense reaction, and then his sharp eyes traced the soft, vulnerable expression breaking across Kim Seo-ah's beautiful features. In that exact milestone second, Dr. Sung realized the absolute, undeniable truth—these two souls were deeply, truly in love with each other. A faint, slightly sad but profoundly understanding smile appeared on Dr. Sung's face, and he silently, gracefully stepped back out of the circle to give them private space."Sit perfectly still," Dr. Hyun-woo commanded gently, opening the bottle of antiseptic as he prepared to clean her ankle wound. "This is mandatory going to sting a bit. And why on earth do you feel the constant need to do all the heavy lifting and material checking on this construction site? Let the local laborers handle the trunk files!""I am the project lead..." Seo-ah winced slightly as the liquid touched her skin, whispering softly through her teeth. "It's my professional job, Doctor."Outside the tent flaps, a group of junior residential nurses whispered happily among themselves, swooning over Dr. Hyun-woo's intense, protective care. They let out soft sighs, wishing inside their hearts that they had a romantic boyfriend just like him on their shifts.Hearing their gossipy whispers, Nurse Han Ga-on could no longer control the boiling rage inside her veins. She stepped right between Hyun-woo and Kim Seo-ah, shouting out loud in front of the entire assembly."Dr. Hyun-woo!" Nurse Ga-on screamed, her voice hitting a high-pitched, panicked frequency. "Why on earth are you being so overly dramatic, caring, and protective toward her build today?! Who on earth is she to your personal life anyway?! This morning at the dining table pavilion, she literally stood up in front of the entire world and told everyone that you are absolutely, completely nothing to her name! She rejected your confession completely! And yet your brain is acting like an absolute fool for her sake, while completely ignoring someone like me who has been openly, deeply loving your name for years!"The entire medical tent instantly dropped into an awkward, suffocating, and angry silence. The senior doctors and the corporate design staff glared heavily at Ga-on for her highly unprofessional, toxic behavior.Dr. Hyun-woo stood up perfectly straight, his deep voice dropping into an icy cold, razor-sharp, and piercing frequency. "Han Ga-on. Shut your mouth and stop this absolute nonsense right now on this floor. Let me make this layout clear to your mind once and for all—I do not like you. I will mandatory never like your build. Stop interfering in my personal life parameters.""Alright, that is entirely enough!" Chief Dr. Park stepped inside the tent quickly to control the damage, his voice commanding. "Stop this relationship drama immediately! Nurse Ga-on, get back to your medical station outside right now. Everyone else, get back to your respective work tasks!"The crowd reluctantly dispersed. Dr. Hyun-woo finished wrapping the clean bandage around Seo-ah's ankle, checking the tightness one last time with deep, lingering tenderness."Do not move a single inch from this spot today," Hyun-woo commanded softly, looking into her eyes. "Do not do a single drop of design work for the rest of the afternoon. Just sit right here and rest completely. Do you understand my words?""Okay..." Seo-ah nodded softly, her cheeks turning a light pink.Dr. Hyun-woo walked firmly out of the tent to return to his camp checkups. Chief Doctor Park checked on her alignment briefly before leaving the space. Ma Ha-rin rushed forward, helping Seo-ah stand up and carefully supporting her arm as they slowly, painfully walked back across the path toward their traditional corporate residence. Mr. Choi Sun-woo watched their retreating steps from the fence, turning to his remaining team with a serious expression."Alright, everyone, let's focus completely on checking our project materials now," Sun-woo commanded smoothly. "Let's finish up the day's workflow before dusk."[EXT. MATERIAL SITE - AFTERNOON]A short while later, Mr. Choi Sun-woo and Ma Ha-rin were working side-by-side near the heavy wooden cargo crates, methodically checking off the inventory lists on their clipboards. Ma Ha-rin was walking slowly backward while counting the steel reinforcement boxes, completely, utterly oblivious to a massive wooden log lying flat right behind her high heel.She took an aggressive step back, her heel caught the timber, and her balance shattered instantly. "Whoa!"Before her body could hit the hard ground, Mr. Sun-woo lunged forward with lightning speed. He wrapped his powerful, muscular arm firmly around her slim waist, pulling her upper body flush against his broad chest.Ma Ha-rin's eyes snapped wide open to the size of saucers as she stared straight up into her billionaire boss's sharp, strikingly handsome face from mere inches away. Sun-woo looked down at her features, his own heart violently skipping a beat under his tailored coat as he held her tightly against his frame. A massive wave of intense shyness and romantic heat hit them both simultaneously, their cheeks turning a violent, bright pink color under the afternoon sky.Sun-woo gently, carefully helped her stand upright on her feet, clearing his throat awkwardly as they quickly stepped apart to regain their professional distance. They began typing furiously on their clipboards to hide their blushing faces from the workers.[INT. CORPORATE RESIDENCE ROOM – EVENING]The bright autumn sun had completely set over the mountain peaks, painting the valley in deep twilight shadows. The entire architecture office team was exhausted, sitting around the wooden living room floor to rest. Inside the girls' private room, Min was sitting right next to Kim Seo-ah on the edge of the bed sheets, leaning in close...
Min leaned in closer over the edge of the mattress, her voice dropping into a sharp, intense whisper that shattered the quiet sanctuary of the girls' room. "Hey, Kim Seo-ah... why on earth did your mouth deny everything so aggressively during the breakfast pavilion this morning? Did your eyes seriously fail to see how much Dr. Hyun-woo panicked and sprinted like a madman across the open field today just to save your physical life? The intense way his powerful arms carried your frame back to the tent... oh my god, he completely, desperately cherishes your existence!"Kim Seo-ah slowly looked down at the clean medical bandage wrapped around her injured ankle, her fingers tracing the fabric as a soft, brilliant blush crept onto her cheeks. The vivid memory of the intense warmth of Dr. Hyun-woo's chest and the fierce, protective anger of his scolding echoed deeply through her thoughts, causing her heart to flutter with a wave of profound emotion.[Scene: INT. SUN-WOO'S ROOM – CONTINUOUS]Inside his private traditional quarters, Mr. Choi Sun-woo was pacing back and forth restlessly across the wooden floorboards, his brow furrowed. Driven by an intense surge of protective anxiety, he pulled out his smartphone device and dialed a number secretly, holding the receiver tightly to his ear."Hyun-woo!" Sun-woo whispered harshly into the line, his tone commanding as he checked the door panel. "You mandatory need to control your public behavior! What on earth was that reckless stunt you pulled on the open construction field today? You practically announced your hidden romantic feelings to both departments simultaneously! Our family needs to keep a low profile until we successfully reveal our childhood identities to their faces!""I don't care a single bit about the profile log, bro!" Hyun-woo's voice crackled tightly over the speaker from the opposite house, thick with raw emotion and defensive stress. "A massive, jagged iron rod was literally about to crush her head to pieces! Do you honestly expect my hands to sit back idle and watch her get severely hurt just to keep an old playground secret? I completely, entirely cannot control my mind when it comes to Kim Seo-ah's physical safety!"Suddenly, the heavy bedroom door swung open with a sharp click. Jeon stepped firmly inside the room, holding a stack of workflow papers. Sun-woo panicked instantly, his executive composure shattering as he dropped his phone straight onto the wooden floor in pure fright."Uh... Mr. Sun-woo?" Jeon blinked in total, absolute confusion, looking at his boss's frantic posture. "Are you perfectly okay, Sir? Why on earth do you look so scared and startled? Who exactly were you talking to just now?""Oh! Jeon!" Sun-woo sweated slightly, quickly scooping his phone up from the floor boards as he smoothed down his vest. "Nothing... absolutely no one! Just... a highly difficult, stubborn client from the Seoul headquarters. Let's go outside immediately."[EXT. SHADED COURTYARD – NIGHT (BONFIRE)]The elderly village homeowner, Shin Won, and his wife had successfully set up a magnificent, roaring bonfire right in the center of the shaded clearing. The vibrant orange and crimson flames crackled beautifully against the pitch-dark mountain night, casting long, dancing shadows across the ancient pine trees. Both the university hospital medical camp team and the corporate architecture office team gathered together around the long wooden tables for a massive, combined dinner.The atmosphere was incredibly warm, rustic, and beautiful under the starlight. Dr. Choi Hyun-woo sat directly across the crackling fire, his dark eyes completely, relentlessly glued to Kim Seo-ah's profile. But just as his vision took in her face, Nurse Han Ga-on intentionally, aggressively slid onto the wooden bench, sitting right next to his frame until her shoulder was almost touching his coat.Witnessing her bold proximity across the flames, a sharp, suffocating wave of pure jealousy hit Kim Seo-ah's chest. She remembered Ga-on's passionate words from the medical tent—"I've been openly, deeply loving your name for years"—and her jaw tightened into absolute anger. Feeling a sudden surge of irritation, she stabbed her traditional food aggressively with her metal fork, glaring down at her plate.The traditional dinner finished wonderfully, the plates cleared away by the hosts. Shin Won walked up to the center of the circle, smiling broadly with deep hospitality. "How exactly was the traditional dinner, city guests? Did it satisfy your appetites?""It was absolutely delicious! Thank you so incredibly much!" everyone from both departments cheered happily in unison, clapping their hands.The entire assembly gathered in a massive, unified circle around the roaring bonfire, chatting warmly, sharing office stories, and detailing their life paths. Jeon stood up from his bench, stretching his long arms high into the night air. "Hey, everyone! Since the mountain atmosphere is so incredibly beautiful and pristine tonight, let's do something fun to refresh our minds before bed! Who exactly wants to perform a talent?""Yes! That sounds absolutely amazing!" the junior staff members cheered. "Let's do it right now!""Absolutely, mandatory not," Chief Dr. Park coughed strictly, checking the digital clock logs on his wristwatch. "Our core department has a highly demanding medical camp shift tomorrow morning at exactly 7:00 AM. Everyone should finish their tea and head straight to their bedrooms immediately."The junior residential doctors and nurses let out a miserable, collective groan under their breath, their high holiday energy deflating. Seeing their sad faces, Mr. Choi Sun-woo turned his head toward Chief Doctor Park, a polite, highly charismatic executive smile breaking across his features."Chief Park, please let the staff have some brief fun tonight," Sun-woo proposed smoothly, his voice commanding yet friendly. "The entire medical and design staff has worked incredibly hard under the burning sun today. A brief, thirty-minute talent show will actually boost their morale and give them double the energy for tomorrow's camp demands. I will personally make sure my architecture team wraps up the session exactly on time."Chief Dr. Park mellowed down completely under Sun-woo's executive charm, a rare smile appearing on his strict features. "Well... if the corporate Director says so, alright. Just thirty minutes sharp, no extensions!""Wow... Mr. Sun-woo is a literal lifesaver!" the junior doctors whispered happily among themselves, their mouths open in awe. "Thank you so incredibly much, Sir!"Dr. Hyun-woo looked across the dancing orange flames, noticing Kim Seo-ah's quiet, brooding, and pensive face, wondering inside his heart what exactly was bothering her mind today. Nurse Ga-on secretly edged her body even closer to his side, entirely ignoring his cold shoulder."Alright, everyone! Let's show our hidden talents!" Ma Ha-rin jumped up excitedly from her bench to break the ice, her face bright. "I will go first! But let me explicitly warn your ears... my real talent is making an absolute mockery of my own dignity!""Go for it, Ha-rin!" everyone laughed loudly, clapping their hands.Ma Ha-rin stepped confidently straight into the center of the bonfire circle and started performing a wildly funny, high-energy dance routine. Everyone clapped and cheered loudly to the rhythm. Mr. Choi Sun-woo sat back against his bench, a deeply affectionate, completely mesmerized smile spreading across his strict face as his eyes tracked her movements. He watched her dance with the exact same free-spirited, unadulterated joy she had displayed back when they were kids on the playground, his heart completely full.Next, Dr. Min-jae stood up from his seat, clearing his throat loudly as he adjusted his posture. He stepped into the light and began performing a hilarious, highly exaggerated impression of Chief Doctor Park's strict scolding routines, waving his hands through the air."You call yourselves senior medical professionals?!" Min-jae boomed, perfectly imitating Park's deep, roaring voice. "You're all nothing but deflated balloons with no air! Move the medicine crates to the left! No, wait, move them to the right under the shade immediately!!"The entire circle roared with uncontrollable laughter, employees pointing their fingers straight at the Chief's face. "Oh my god, that is exactly, precisely his layout!!"Chief Dr. Park glared at Min-jae with a terrifyingly stiff, frozen expression, his arms crossed tightly. "Dr. Min-jae... do my vocal cords really sound like a broken radio terminal to your ears during rounds?"The entire bonfire circle went dead silent in sudden fear, the junior nurses holding their breath, thinking Min-jae was officially fired on the spot. But a single second later, Chief Doctor Park burst into a loud, hearty, and booming laugh that filled the clearing. "Alright, fine! That was actually pretty accurate to the files. Sit down, you troublemaker, but don't you dare repeat that performance during clinical surgery hours!"Everyone let out a massive, breathing-heavy sigh of relief, laughing and cheering again. Dr. Sung Jin-woo turned his head toward Kim Seo-ah's side, smiling politely. "Kim Seo-ah, why on earth don't you show our team a talent next? Sing a beautiful song for us.""Oh, no, no... I really, completely cannot sing," Seo-ah shook her head shyly, her face flushing as she gestured with her hands. "Please skip my turn, Dr. Sung.""Don't worry about it, I will save her space!" Min jumped up from her bench to save her friend, pulling a ridiculous, funny face to gather the attention.Min stood firmly in the center of the ring and began making bizarre, hilariously accurate animal sound effects straight from her throat. Everyone laughed hysterically, cheering her on as the energy soared.Then, Nurse Han Ga-on stood up gracefully from her seat, smoothing down the fabric of her skirt with a confident movement. She looked directly and deeply into Dr. Choi Hyun-woo's eyes across the crackling fire, her expression intentional. "I will personally sing a beautiful romantic ballad for tonight's assembly."Ga-on began singing a deeply emotional, exceptionally beautiful love song, her adoring eyes entirely, relentlessly fixed on Dr. Hyun-woo's handsome face. The entire courtyard atmosphere turned quiet, soft, and thick with romantic weight.Watching Ga-on dedicate a beautiful love song directly to Hyun-woo's name right in front of her face, Kim Seo-ah's heart squeezed with an unbearable wave of intense jealousy, hurt, and rejection. Unable to take a single microsecond more of the suffocating display, she quietly, stealthily slipped away from the wooden bench, walking entirely away from the bright bonfire light into the dark, shadowed pathways heading toward the nearby mountain riverbank.[EXT. RIVERBANK – CONTINUOUS (NIGHT)]The mountain riverbank was dark, isolated, and exceptionally peaceful, the constant sound of rushing water echoing clearly through the crisp night air. Kim Seo-ah stood right near the edge of the rushing water, her boots digging into the gravel as she aggressively kicked a small stone straight into the river stream, muttering to her own self in pure, unadulterated fury."Ugh! Look at her layout!" Seo-ah pouted heavily, talking angrily to the cold wind. "Sitting right next to his shoulder, singing him romantic love songs... and his stubborn build just sat there doing absolutely, completely nothing to stop her! He didn't even push her away from his space! And what about my own life? I am the stupid girl who was pacing around the entire day, worrying about what his brain thought of my breakfast disclaimer comments! Why on earth did my mouth even say those harsh things? Why did his build take it so seriously?! And that Han Ga-on... he explicitly told her face he doesn't like her character, so why on earth is she still clinging to his arm like glue?! Ugh, it's so incredibly, profoundly infuriating!!""Kim Seo-ah," Dr. Hyun-woo called out, walking up quietly from behind the dense pine trees, placing his warm palm gently, tenderly on her stiff shoulder."Ah! Dr. Hyun-woo?!" Seo-ah jumped slightly in surprise, turning her body around sharply as her voice filled with a defensive wave of intense anger and flustered heat. "What on earth are you doing here at the riverbank?! Why exactly did your build follow my steps?! Shouldn't your handsome face be back there sitting tightly next to Nurse Han Ga-on and listening to her romantic love songs?!"Hyun-woo blinked his dark eyes in utter, absolute confusion, a very soft, highly amused smirk slowly breaking across his handsome features as he took in her red cheeks. "What exactly is wrong with your temper tonight, Kim Seo-ah? Why on earth are you hiding out here alone in the pitch dark? And why on earth are your vocal cords sounding so intensely angry at my name?""What do you mean 'why'?!" Seo-ah crossed her arms tightly over her chest, snapping back through her teeth. "Don't you dare act completely, entirely clueless right now, Dr. Hyun-woo!""How on earth am I supposed to know the files unless your mouth explicitly tells me the truth?" Hyun-woo asked softly, stepping closer into her circle.
"KIM SEO:(Completely losing her emotional filter, the words spilling out in a passionate rush) "Dr. Hyun! You literally proposed to me the very first moment you saw me at the hospital! You crashed my company party, you boldly kissed me in your bedroom and I... I haven't been able to forget that kiss for a single second! Do you have any idea how much I missed you over the past three days?! I literally walked all the way to Dehan Hospital just to get a single glimpse of your face, but I missed you! And then we miraculously run into each other in this remote village, and what do you do? You sit right next to another girl! I don't care if you don't have feelings for her, but the way she was clinging to you... it drove me completely insane all evening!"
DR. HYUN:(Staring at her, completely stunned, a breathtaking, radiant smile slowly spreading across his handsome face) "Kim Seo... Wait, are you actually jealous?"
KIM SEO:(Blushing furiously, looking away) "Why are you laughing?! Is my misery funny to you? And besides, you took my breakfast comments so seriously! I only said those things because everyone in my office thinks you're my boyfriend and I panicked because we hadn't formally—ugh, just forget it!"
(She takes a deep, heavy breath, turning her face back to look straight into his eyes, her gaze full of raw honesty.)
KIM SEO: "Dr. Hyun... look at me. Let me just say it clearly before I lose my courage. To... to be honest... I have completely fallen for you. I love you, Dr. Hyun."
(The riverbank goes entirely silent. Dr. Hyun stands completely still like a statue, his eyes wide, his breath catching in his throat.)
KIM SEO:(Pouting, getting nervous because of his silence) "What is wrong with you? Why are you just standing there like a ghost? I just confessed my deepest feelings to you, aren't you going to react at all?! Say something!"
(Without a single word, Dr. Hyun reaches out. He grabs her wrist, pulls her body forcefully against his chest, and cups her face with his hand. He leans down and aggressively presses his lips against hers, diving into a deeply passionate, breathless kiss. Kim Seo's eyes widen in surprise before she slowly closes them, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, returning the kiss with equal passion under the moonlight.)
(Suddenly, a bush rustles nearby. Nurse Ga-on had felt something was wrong when Hyun left the bonfire, and she had secretly followed his footsteps to the riverbank. Walking out into the clearing, her eyes land directly on the two of us locked in an intense embrace. Her face turns completely white in pure, agonizing horror.)
NURSE GA-ON:(Screaming at the top of her lungs in absolute shock) "DR. HYUNNNN!!!!"
KIM SEO:(Panicking violently at the sudden scream, her survival instinct kicking in. Without thinking, she shoves Dr. Hyun away with full force.)
(Dr. Hyun is completely caught off guard. He loses his footing on the slippery mud at the edge of the bank. With a massive splash, he flies backward and falls straight into the deep, cold river water.)
DR. HYUN:(Yelling as he falls) "WHOAAAA!!!"
(Nurse Ga-on rushes to the edge of the water, looking down at him in total panic, then snaps her head around to glare at a horrified Kim Seo.)
NURSE GA-ON: "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?! Dr. Hyun! Oh my god, what are you doing inside the water?!! Get out right now!"
"Dr. Hyun-woo!" Kim Seo-ah completely lost her emotional filter, the words spilling out of her lips in a passionate, unstoppable rush as her arms crossed tighter. "You literally proposed to my face the very first moment your eyes saw me at the university hospital ward! You crashed my corporate company lounge party, you boldly and breathlessly kissed me right inside your master bedroom, and I... I haven't been able to forget the touch of that kiss for a single second of my life! Do you have any absolute idea how desperately I missed your presence over the past three days of agonizing silence?! I literally walked all the way to Daehan University Hospital yesterday just to get a single glimpse of your face, but our frequencies missed each other completely! And then, we miraculously run straight into each other's paths in this remote mountain village, and what exactly do you do? You sit right next to another girl's shoulder! I don't care a single bit if you don't hold any romantic feelings for her, but the precise way she was clinging to your arm... it drove my mind completely, utterly insane all evening!"Dr. Hyun-woo stared down at her flushed face, completely, thoroughly stunned as her confession echoed over the rushing water. A breathtaking, radiant, and deeply joyful smile slowly spread across his handsome features, his dark eyes gleaming under the starlight. "Kim Seo-ah... Wait a single microsecond. Are your vocal cords actually telling my face that you are jealous right now?""Why on earth are your lips laughing at my expense?!" Seo-ah blushed a furious, violent crimson color, sharply turning her face away from his intense gaze to hide her heat. "Is my pure emotional misery funny to your system? And besides, your stubborn build took my breakfast pavilion disclaimer comments entirely too seriously! I only explicitly said those harsh things because every single employee in my creative department floor actually thinks you're my secret boyfriend, and my mind panicked completely because we hadn't formally negotiated our—ugh, just forget the whole layout!"She took a deep, heavy, and ragged breath to steady her racing heart, turning her face back around to look straight, deeply into his eyes, her gaze full of raw, unadulterated honesty under the autumn night sky."Dr. Choi Hyun-woo... look at my face clearly," Seo-ah whispered, her posture turning rigid. "Let me just say the truth explicitly before my mind completely loses its manager courage. To... to be honest with my heart... I have completely, helplessly fallen for your build. I love you, Dr. Hyun-woo."The entire mountain riverbank instantly went entirely, profoundly silent, the sound of the rushing stream fading into the background. Dr. Hyun-woo stood completely, utterly still like a literal stone statue. His dark eyes dilated wide, his breath catching sharply inside his throat as the monumental words locked into his ears."What exactly is wrong with your system now?!" Seo-ah pouted heavily, getting intensely nervous and flustered because of his absolute, silent stance. "Why on earth are you just standing there in front of my face like a silent ghost? I just successfully confessed my deepest, most vulnerable feelings to your name, aren't your hands going to react at all?! Say something to my face!"Without uttering a single word of response, Dr. Hyun-woo reached his powerful hands out with lightning speed. He firmly grabbed her wrist bone, pulling her fragile body forcefully, aggressively against his broad, warm chest, and cupped her soft face with his hand. He leaned his head down and aggressively, passionately pressed his lips firmly against hers, diving straight into a deeply passionate, breathless, and unyielding kiss. Seo-ah's dark eyes widened in pure, shocking surprise for a brief microsecond before she slowly, beautifully closed her eyelids. She wrapped her long arms tightly, defensively around his neck, returning the embrace with an equal wave of long-locked passion beneath the pale glow of the autumn moonlight.Suddenly, a thick pine bush rustled violently nearby, breaking the romantic vacuum of the clearing.Nurse Han Ga-on had felt a sharp, intuitive wave that something was completely wrong the exact milestone moment Hyun-woo left the bonfire circle, and she had secretly, stealthily followed his physical footsteps straight down the dark riverbank path. Walking out into the open clearing, her adoring eyes landed directly on the shocking sight of the two figures locked tightly in an intense, passionate embrace. Her face turned completely pale white in pure, agonizing corporate horror."DR. HYUN-WOO!!!!" Nurse Ga-on screamed at the absolute top of her lungs, her voice hitting a panicked, thunderous frequency that shattered the night silence.Panic violently, aggressively hit Kim Seo-ah's system at the sudden, thunderous scream. Her absolute survival instincts instantly kicking in to save her office reputation, she acted entirely without thinking. She extended her hands and shoved Dr. Hyun-woo away from her frame with full, desperate physical force.Dr. Hyun-woo was completely, utterly caught off guard by her sudden, violent push. His boots lost all physical traction on the slippery, wet mud lining the very edge of the riverbank. With a massive, explosive splash of water, his body flew backward through the air and fell straight into the deep, freezing cold river stream."WHOAAAA!!!" Hyun-woo yelled out loud as his frame plummeted backward into the currents.Nurse Ga-on rushed frantically straight to the very edge of the water line, looking down at his soaking form in total, absolute panic before she sharply snapped her head around to glare at a thoroughly horrified Kim Seo-ah."WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE Past MIDNIGHT?!" Nurse Ga-on screamed through her teeth, her arms shaking. "Dr. Hyun-woo! Oh my god, what on earth are you doing inside the freezing water?!! Get out of the river right now!"
