Chapter 34 - Intoxicated Allegiances and Morning Countermeasures

The neon twilight of the luxury Seoul lounge grew thick and heavy with the scent of hard liquor as the celebratory clock struck midnight [Ch. 48]. Near the dimly lit edge of the long marble bar counter, Nurse Han Ga-on was standing completely unstable on her feet, her vision thoroughly blurred by the staggering amount of alcohol she had aggressively downed to numb her bitter humiliation [Ch. 35, 48]. Her face contorted into a completely twisted mask of unadulterated venom as her eyes locked onto Dr. Choi Hyun-woo's distant silhouette [Ch. 35, 48].Stumbling blindly across the VIP lounge floorboards, she pointed a trembling, accusatory finger directly at his face, her slurred voice rising to a chaotic frequency that violently pierced through the ambient music bars [Ch. 48]."You completely, utterly blind fool, Dr. Choi Hyun-woo!!!" Ga-on shrieked through her teeth, staggering hard against a wooden pillar as her filter dissolved into raw, unfiltered intoxication. "What on earth does your surgical system even see in an ordinary, common architectural employee like her?! Your choices are absolute trash today!"Before Mr. Choi Sun-woo or the junior residential doctors could even step into her physical circle to execute an administrative lockdown on her mouth, Kim Seo-ah snapped her head around sharply [Ch. 41, 48]. Her cheeks were flushed a brilliant, radiant tomato red color from the multiple premium wine cups she had happily shared with her team, her balance completely swaying under the heavy influence of the alcohol [Ch. 48]."What did your loud, jealous mouth just say about my surgeon boyfriend?!" Seo-ah cut her sentence off instantly, letting out a highly animated, completely adorable hiccup as she stomped her high-heeled shoe against the carpet. Moving with a lightweight, staggering run, she lunged straight into Ga-on's face, initiating a hilariously frantic, completely messy cute-fight [Ch. 38, 44]! She thrashed her arms wildly, pouting her lips as she aggressively poked Ga-on's shoulder block. "Don't your hands dare touch my handsome doctor's charts today, you crazy, paranoid woman! Dr. Choi Hyun-woo belongs strictly to my registry! Back off right now!"Dr. Hyun-woo's jaw dropped slightly in total surprise, but as his eyes took in his normally rigid, strict manager girlfriend engaging in such an incredibly sweet, adorable drunken cute-fight, a massive, profoundly warm smile broke entirely across his handsome features [Ch. 33, 44]. His heart melted into pure, unadulterated joy, his chest heaving with soft laughter as he watched her protect his name with her tiny, uncoordinated fists."Yeah!!! Go get her, Kim!!! I am completely, mandatory backing up your database tonight!!!" Ma Ha-rin suddenly roared out from the adjacent couch lounge, her frame equally dead to the world from the drinks as she raised her cocktail glass high in the air [Ch. 41, Ch. 48]. She staggered forward unevenly, her eyes wide with hilarious loyalty as she fiercely glared down at the trembling nurse. "Han Ga-on!!! My creative department hands are absolute, mandatory never going to leave your system alone after tonight! I am going to completely demolish your reputation charts if you text my brother-in-law again [Ch. 38, 41]!""Alright, that is entirely enough alcohol-fueled chaos for the department floor!" Mr. Choi Sun-woo intervened smoothly, his roaring executive authority instantly restoring corporate order over the lounge floorboards [Ch. 41, 48]. Moving with lightning-fast reflex, his long fingers securely grabbed Ma Ha-rin's swaying waist to halt her trajectory, while the university hospital resident team and Dr. Min-jae quickly stepped in to scoop up the thrashing Nurse Ga-on, holding her arms tightly to carry her screaming frame straight out toward the exit terminal grids [Ch. 34, 48].Dr. Sung Jin-woo finished his premium drink cup near the door frame, adjusting his coat with a gentle, slightly melancholic nod as he prepared to depart into the night [Ch. 26, Ch. 43, 48]. He looked back toward the chaos, his data-tracking gaze locking with Hyun-woo's eyes."Take proper, absolute care of Kim Seo-ah's safety parameters tonight, Hyun-woo," Dr. Sung advised smoothly, his deep voice rich with a final wave of professional dignity [Ch. 26, 48]. "Her system is completely uncoordinated from the wine. Get her home safely.""I will, don't worry about her ankle, Jin-woo," Dr. Hyun-woo nodded respectfully, releasing any remaining medical rival friction as Dr. Sung gracefully stepped out past the sliding glass doors into the Seoul traffic [Ch. 35, 48].[EXT. SEOUL STREET LINES / LUXURY SPORTS CAR – CONTINUOUS]Mr. Choi Sun-woo carefully hoisted a completely incoherent, endlessly rambling Ma Ha-rin straight inside the front passenger leather seat of his sleek black luxury sports vehicle, securely fastening her safety buckle before sliding behind the steering wheel [Ch. 41, 45]. As the high-end chassis accelerated smoothly onto the winding midnight highway road, Ha-rin rested her heavy head against the window glass, pouting her lips aggressively [Ch. 42, 48]."Why on earth did your big boss hands pull my frame back inside that lounge room, Director?!" Ha-rin mumbled sloppily, her slurred voice hitting a high, dizzy frequency as she waved her fingers toward his face [Ch. 41, 47]. "My creative department brain strictly, desperately wanted to teach Han Ga-on an absolute, monumental lesson for ruining our couple charts today [Ch. 35, 48]!"Sun-woo slowed down near the asphalt street block, turning his broad chest toward her flushed, beautiful face as a charming, exceptionally warm spirit broke across his strict features [Ch. 20, Ch. 41]. "Because your drunken coordination is entirely too precious to waste on a bar fight, Ha-rin. Do your thoughts have any idea how incredibly, profoundly cute your system looks when you're fiercely protective of our family files [Ch. 46, 47]?""What?!" Ha-rin blinked her dark eyes in total, absolute shock, her intoxicated mind spinning at a million miles an hour under his elite gaze [Ch. 41]. "Is your mouth speaking the absolute truth right now, Sir?! Do you honestly think my build is beautiful tonight?!"Without a single drop of warning notice, she unbuckled her frame, leaning her entire upper body completely across the center console partition block [Ch. 42]. Moving with raw, clumsy affection, her lips planted a sudden, chaotic, and deeply passionate kiss straight onto Sun-woo's cheek!Mr. Choi Sun-woo froze completely like a literal stone statue for a single milestone fraction of a second, his executive brain entirely short-circuiting as a violent, bright pink blush crept rapidly onto his ears. A victorious, beautifully soft smile broke across his lips as he stabilized her frame back onto the leather cushion, stepping on the gas pedal to drive her safely toward her Gangnam apartment complex terminal [Ch. 41, Ch. 46].Meanwhile, back outside the lounge sidewalk, Kim Seo-ah was completely unable to maintain her balance on her high heels, her head resting heavily against Dr. Choi Hyun-woo's chest as she slurred out sweet, incoherent words [Ch. 44, 48]."Alright, let's execute a piggyback ride matrix, Manager Kim," Hyun-woo laughed softly, crouching his tall frame down smoothly on the pavement curb. He carefully guided her long legs around his waist, hoisting her fragile body up onto his broad back into a perfectly secure, warm piggyback hold [Ch. 35, Ch. 47]."Hehe... Dr. Choi Hyun-woo..." Seo-ah muttered happily into his neck, her fingers loosely clutching his suit lapels as her cheeks burned like a violent fire [Ch. 41, Ch. 44]. "Your hands belong completely, mandatory to my life now... do you hear me? That crazy, paranoid Han Ga-on is totally out of her mind for tracking your heart! You are strictly my childhood boy forever [Ch. 35, Ch. 44]!""Yes, I am completely your boy, Seo-ah," Hyun-woo smiled warmly under the silver moonlight, his heart swelling with an overwhelming wave of pure, unfiltered happiness [Ch. 45, 46].Realizing her apartment block was entirely too far down the commercial sector transit lines for her uncoordinated state, he quickly turned his long strides toward his own private flat located right next to the university hospital complex to ensure her safety parameters were fully locked down [Ch. 21, 44]. He carried her up the elevator bay, gently unlocking his front door frame.Moving with absolute, lingering tenderness under the dim bedroom lamps, he laid her body flat down onto the soft, plush matrix of his king-sized bed sheets, pulling the heavy duvet blanket over her shoulders [Ch. 31, Ch. 44].As Hyun-woo prepared to step away to grab a glass of warm water, Seo-ah's fingers suddenly, aggressively shot out from beneath the duvet. She firmly wrapped her small hand around his wrist casing, and with absolute, sudden physical force, she violently yanked the tall surgeon straight down onto the mattress along with her frame!Hyun-woo let out a sharp gasp of surprise as his long body fell flat onto the bedding right beside her side. Before his brain could even clear the shock, Seo-ah wrapped both of her arms tightly, defensively around his broad chest, burying her face into his shoulder as she fell into a deep, peaceful sleep while hugging his body securely. Dr. Hyun-woo just lay there in the dark, looking deeply, directly into her sleeping, beautiful face, a soft, immensely satisfied smile locked onto his lips as his arm wrapped back around her waist to protect her dreams all night long [Ch. 35, Ch. 46].[
