Chapter 7
Lub Dub: The beating heartIt is bright and sunny morning. A perfect whether to start a day. Tiffany’s is in a good mood today. Well actually she always been. She walks lightly to her office when she saw her colleagues are standing in front of the door.
“Sunbae, what are you doing not going inside?”
She holds the door knob before her colleagues stopped her. Both of them shake their head. One of them whispered Professor Song name.
“Now tell me your reasons.”
Professor Song commanded. Taeyeon stared the floor, picking his nails. He made a mistake last night. A huge one.
“I take the bus at 7p.m.”
“Okay you take the bus at 7p.m.”
“Then the bus suddenly out of fuel. So I ran to the nearest bus stop to wait for another bus.”
“Did you happened to look at the time when it happened?”
“Err... Yeah?”
“What time was it?”
“Er... 7.30 p.m.?”
“What time did my lecture supposed to start?”
“Er... 7.30?”
“You know you are late yet you still wait for another bus? Taxis everywhere. Or you can simply call Steph or Hyojoo or Minseok to fetch you and you still wait for the bus?!!”
“It’s my mistake. I’m really sorry, Professor.”
“Luckily I remembered part of the notes for the lecture. You’re in your 4th year of residency now yet you still can’t be on time and make a wise decision? Is this how Steph had been teaching you? Then I’m going to scold her too.”
He raises his head as soon Tiffany’s name is mentioned. Tiffany has nothing to do with his mistake. Professor Song shouldn’t drag her along.
“No. She taught me well. The problem is me. Tiff- Dr. Steph has nothing to do with this. I’m so sorry. I have no excuses of my stupidity. I deeply apologised.”
“Right. Steph does taught you well, at least the manner part. I won’t tolerate if this happened again, Kim.”
“I understand.”
He bows until he hears the door closed. A few seconds later, all members of the room come in. Minseok, walks casually to his messy desk.
“Fuhh. I’ve never seen him in that temper for a long time. Was it 5 years ago? When Steph accidentally spilled coffee on his white coat.”
“And that’s 10 minutes before he started his lecture.” Hyojoo added as she passes Taeyeon to her desk.
“Sunbae!” Tiffany shouted in embarrassment.
Taeyeon sits on the bed. Since he’s just a doctor under training for specialist, management didn’t give him space in the room. That’s why the bed has officially become his territory. Sometimes he would sits at Tiffany’s desk as she forced him to do so. The flashbacks of last night incident makes him sighs. Professor Song was having a public lecture last night and he realised he left
