    Summary

    Five years after Baek Kanghyuk’s arrival at the HNUH trauma centre an unexpected offer forces Jaewon to rethink the place he holds at the hospital and in the other man’s life. Over the course of a Saturday night shift in April he takes some time to do just that.
    He doesn’t know Kanghyuk is doing the same, someplace closer than expected.
    An exploration of perspective, cognitive bias and the disconnect between being wanted and being needed.

    Summary

    Kanghyuk always saw Jaewon as his best—sharp-minded, steady-handed, always standing tall.

    But when Jaewon’s secret breaks and pain strips him bare, all Kanghyuk can do is offer a jacket and a scent—something small, something his.

    It shouldn’t mean everything.

    But it does

    Summary

    “the source of bleeding needs to be secured. be honest, can you manage it on your own or not?”

    “i- i’ll try my best-”

    “that’s not what i’m asking. is it a yes or no?”

    so, he gave the honesty the older asked for. “no, dr baek. i- we need you here.”

    the line disconnected as soon as the words were out in the open.

    Summary

    This year, Kanghyuk's plan for 9th September goes awry. When Jangmi calls him at 7 a.m., he knows well that this is a pressing matter. Even though he made it clear on the day before that he wouldn’t be available on that date, yet when duty calls, he has no choice but to rush to the trauma center.

    He finds himself so exhausted and unreasonably upset after performing the surgery. The team can tell the change of his energy, so they try to stray away from him and apologise to him. Not so subtle, their efforts, but he appreciates it nonetheless. When he is ready to leave the hospital, he decides to not pass up their peace offering, and he requests for something he has never done before.

    Summary

    Baek Kang-hyuk doesn’t usually say what he feels. But when life throws him a deadline, he finds himself doing everything he swore he never would — including knocking on Yang Jaewon’s door in the middle of the night, and finally saying the one thing he’s never had the courage to.
