The bright morning sun cut beautifully through the tall living room windows of the residential flat, scattering long, golden streaks across the rug. The heavy bedroom doors swung open with a synchronized rattle, and both Kim Seo-ah and Ma Ha-rin stepped out onto the floor, carrying their bulky travel suitcases. Both girls were dressed in exceptionally comfortable travel clothes, their faces completely, radiantly glowing with a vibrant mixture of holiday excitement and high-octane energy.They walked over to the narrow entryway, turning their frames around to wave goodbye to Kim Jun-u, who had rolled his stainless-steel wheelchair out to the corridor boundary to see their departure off."Bye, Junu! Our team is officially heading out past the gates now!" Seo-ah and Ha-rin cheered in perfect unison, waving their hands."Huh... bye!" Junu smiled warmly, waving his hand back with an affectionate grin. "Make sure to travel safely across the sectors and take good care of yourselves on the road!""Yeah, we are absolutely not little kids, Junu," Seo-ah laughed, adjusting her sunglasses. "You just look strictly after your own safety and stay inside this apartment. Your professional caretaker nurse will arrive here at the door within a couple of hours; I have successfully finalized all the paperwork logs.""Alright, fine, sis. Bye!" Junu nodded.The heavy front double doors clicked shut with a sharp mechanical thud as the girls left the corridor, heading down the elevator to start their massive company journey.A couple of hours after Kim Seo-ah and Ma Ha-rin left the apartment, the flat fell into a completely dead, silent vacuum. Junu was sitting rigidly inside his wheelchair right by the living room window pane, staring out blankly at the empty Gangnam streets as the morning hours rolled past.Suddenly, the front doorbell rang with a crisp, clear electronic chime.Junu quickly rolled his wheelchair over to the entryway and swung the heavy wooden door wide open. The exact microsecond the threshold cleared, time stood completely, utterly still for his thoughts.Standing right before his eyes was his brand-new professional caretaker. She was absolutely, completely not an older, strict, or rigid medical nurse like his mind had anxious-style expected. Instead, she was a remarkably beautiful, elegant young girl around his exact same age. Her dark eyes were exceptionally bright, soft, and warm, and a few stray locks of hair fell perfectly across her soft, glowing face. Looking straight down at Junu's frozen form, she let out a gentle, incredibly radiant smile that completely, instantly lit up the dim apartment corridor."Hello!" the girl announced politely, bowing with a graceful movement as her sweet, soothing voice filled the air. "You must mandatory be Junu. I am the caretaker finalized by your older sister, Kim Seo-ah. My name is Han Chae-won. It is absolutely wonderful to meet you today."Junu remained completely, entirely frozen like an absolute statue. He just stared straight up at her face, his jaw slightly open and his mind turning into a total blank space. He had genuinely never seen anyone so naturally beautiful up close in his entire life."Oh... ah, hello!" Junu stammered nervously, a sudden wave of frantic panic hitting his neck as his cheeks turned bright pink. He quickly snapped out of his trance, clearing his throat. "Yes, I am Junu. Please... please come inside the apartment."Han Chae-won stepped smoothly past the threshold, instantly bringing a fresh, lively, and warm energy straight into the quiet residential space. Throughout the entire afternoon, she took care of Junu's recovery line with incredible gentleness, dedication, and clinical precision. She didn't treat his build like a helpless, broken patient at all; instead, she talked to his mind like a close, long-lost friend.While her fingers set up his morning medicines neatly on the counter, she laughed freely at his small, clumsy jokes. When it was time for lunch, she cooked a delicious, warm traditional meal that filled the entire apartment layout with an amazing, mouth-watering aroma.Junu barely watched a single minute of television or looked at his smartphone screen all day long. Wherever Chae-won went—whether she was cleaning the wooden kitchen counter, organizing his complex medical files, or neatly adjusting the cushions behind his back—Junu's intense eyes quietly followed her every movement across the room. Every single time she caught his gaze and smiled back at him warmly, Junu's heart beat wildly against his chest like a racing sports bike engine. For the very first time in months, his mind completely forgot about the physical heaviness of his mechanical wheelchair.[Scene: EXT. Corporate Office Building – Front Street – Shortly After]Meanwhile, across town, a massive, sleek luxury corporate tour bus bearing the architecture company's official gold logo was parked right by the concrete pavement curb. The entire front street was a buzzing hive of energetic chaos and loud chatter as co-workers laughed, talked, and loaded their heavy luggage boxes into the lower bus trunks. Kim Seo-ah and Ma Ha-rin arrived at the bustling scene, dragging their suitcases behind their heels."Oh! Look who finally arrived at the depot!" Min cheered, spotting them from the open bus door as she waved her hand excitedly. "You two finally made it to the curb! Come on, hurry up your steps, our team needs to clear out and hit the open highway immediately!"Jeon walked up to them with a helpful, friendly office smile, reaching his hands out for their handles. "Hey, let me handle those heavy pieces for your builds. Give your travel suitcases to me, I'll neatly pack them into the luggage compartment for you right now.""Thank you so incredibly much, Jeon," Seo-ah smiled gratefully, handing them over. "I deeply appreciate the assistance."As Jeon walked away toward the side trunks with the suitcases, Ma Ha-rin's eyes suddenly darted toward the main glass double doors of the silent corporate office building rising behind them. A sudden flash of absolute panic hit her thoughts as she realized this was her absolute last golden chance to clear her secret.'This is the absolute perfect opportunity!' Ha-rin thought to herself in a pure panic, her heart skipping a beat. 'I mandatory need to sprint upstairs right now and grab that antique couple watch from my desk surface before this bus starts its engine! I can't leave that love code behind!'Turning her head to face Kim Seo-ah, she forced a very casual, calm tone into her voice. "Kim! I just remembered... I accidentally left some highly important personal stuff right on top of my desk upstairs. I'll be right back in a flash!"Seo-ah nodded her head, checking the digital watch on her wrist. "Alright, but make it exceptionally quick, Rin! Mr. Sun-woo's roster says we are leaving in exactly five minutes!"Ha-rin spun around on her high heels and sprinted inside the building lobby, rushing up the stairwell to the dark, quiet creative department office floor. She hurried over to her cubicle station, her fingers frantically, aggressively shuffling through the thick stacks of papers, blueprints, and project files cluttering her desk. Her fingers finally locked onto the cold, brushed metal of the unique wristwatch. She let out a massive, breathing-heavy sigh of absolute relief, quickly sliding the device deep into her winter jacket pocket.But just as she turned around on her heel to leave the cubicle, the heavy glass entrance door opened with a soft chime. Standing right at the threshold entrance, staring at her build with a highly curious, intense executive expression, was Mr. Choi Sun-woo himself.Sun-woo crossed his arms over his chest, raising a cool eyebrow as he studied her flustered state. "Ma Ha-rin? What exactly are you doing up here on this empty floor? Why on earth did you come upstairs so close to departure?"Ha-rin jumped slightly in absolute, paralyzing surprise, her hand instinctively, defensively clutching the fabric of her jacket pocket to completely hide the watch from his sight. She began to stammer nervously, her cheeks flushing bright red. "Oh... Sir! Why... why exactly did you come up to the floor?!"Sun-woo walked closer down the aisle, a faint, highly amused smile breaking across his strict face. "I asked your mouth first, didn't I?""Ah... yes, Sir!" Ha-rin laughed nervously, her heart racing at a million miles an hour against her ribs. "Well... I just... I had left some highly important, critical personal items right on my desk surface, so I just came up to fetch them before the highway journey starts.""I see," Sun-woo nodded, his eyes lingering on her hand. "So, did your fingers successfully find what you were looking for? Is the matter completely sorted?""Yes! I found it completely, Sir!" Ha-rin nodded rapidly, flashing an innocent smile as she thought to herself, 'Thank God I managed to hide it in my pocket just in time before his eyes saw the casing!'"Good," Sun-woo replied, straightening his shoulders. "Then let's head downstairs together. Everyone is already boarding the vehicle, and I just came up here to do a final executive check of the floor security before we leave the property. Come on, let's go.""Yes, Sir! Let's go," Ha-rin nodded, letting out a breath.Sun-woo and Ma Ha-rin walked side-by-side down the stairs and exited the building complex. Outside, every single employee had fully boarded the transport. Kim Seo-ah and Ma Ha-rin took their designated spots near the middle rows, sitting next to each other right by the large glass window as the bus engine roared to life with a powerful vibration.Seo-ah turned her head, looking curious. "Hey, Ha-rin. Did you manage to get your personal thing in time? By the way, what exactly was it that you forgot up there anyway?"Ha-rin reached her fingers into her jacket pocket, deliberately pulling out a white plastic wireless earbuds case to completely deflect the dangerous question, flashing a nervous smile. "Oh, yes! I successfully got it. It was just my wireless earbuds! Yeah... I absolutely cannot survive a long highway trip through the mountains without my music playlist."Deep inside her own mind, she let out a heavy, terrified breath, clutching her purse. 'Ugh... if I told her the absolute truth about retrieving the antique couple watch, she would literally scream at my face for hours! She'd give me a brutal lecture about why on earth I brought that dangerous time-freezing thing along on an official company trip. But how do I explain to her that if anyone else had found it while cleaning the desks, it could have triggered absolute chaos across the company floor?'"Fair enough," Seo-ah smiled softly, turning her head back toward the glass window pane as the massive corporate bus began to move down the open road, leaving the skyscrapers behind.She stared out at the passing asphalt, thinking to herself with a deep, melancholic, and profound longing in her heart, 'Goodbye for now, Seoul... goodbye... Dr. Hyun-woo...'As the bright autumn sun slowly began to set over the beautiful Seoul skyline, painting the living room windows of the apartment in deep orange and majestic purple hues, the wall grandfather clock struck 6:00 PM.Han Chae-won smoothly packed her medical clipboard and charts into her canvas bag, smoothing down the fabric of her outfit with a graceful movement."Alright, Junu," Chae-won announced, walking up to his wheelchair with that exact same beautiful, radiant smile that had stolen his words earlier. "My caretaking shift for today is officially over. I've placed your traditional dinner safely in the refrigerator, and your night medicines are arranged neatly on the side table layout."The exact microsecond the words left her lips, Junu felt a sudden, sharp, and agonizing pang of intense loneliness hit his chest. The space felt instantly colder, and he looked up at her beautiful, soft face, desperately and helplessly wishing inside his heart that she could stay longer in his life..."Oh... it's already 6:00?" Kim Jun-u tried his absolute best to sound casual, though his voice dropped into a very soft, subdued tone as his eyes drifted from the dark window pane back to her face. "Time went by really fast today, didn't it? Thank you so incredibly much for everything, Chae-won."Han Chae-won gave a warm, beautiful nod, her long hair swaying gently as her small boots walked over to the apartment entrance. "You're very welcome, Junu. Take care of yourself tonight. I will see you tomorrow morning at exactly 9:00 AM. Goodnight, Junu!""Goodnight..." Junu murmured softly.The heavy front wooden door clicked shut with a sharp mechanical thud, and the entire apartment instantly dropped back into a cold, suffocating, and deep silence.That night, Junu absolutely cannot sleep a single wink on his mattress. Every single time he closed his heavy eyelids to rest, his mind just vividly saw Chae-won's radiant, heart-stealing smile and heard her soothing, gentle voice echoing through the quiet rooms.[Scene: EXT. Daehan University Hospital – Parking Lot – Afternoon]The bright afternoon sun beat down mercilessly on the concrete hospital courtyard, where a large, white medical transport bus was parked with its side luggage compartments wide open. Bright Red Cross emergency medical kits, heavy stainless-steel surgical boxes, and massive wooden crates of prescription medicines were being loaded with frantic energy by roaring residential nurses and busy junior doctors. The entire clinical department was vibrating heavily with chaotic travel energy.Dr. Sung Jin-woo walked up directly to the side of the bus chassis, focused on reviewing a digital clipboard registry. At that exact same microsecond, Dr. Choi Hyun-woo approached the cargo area, his arms crossed exceptionally tightly over his chest as he glared sideways at Dr. Sung's profile. Hyun-woo's mind was racing dramatically with intense, burning irritation and jealousy.'I still completely cannot believe this rotating shift guy works in my exact same medical department,' Hyun-woo thought fiercely to himself, narrowing his dark eyes as his teeth clenched. 'He was smiling, leaning in, and talking so comfortably with Kim Seo-ah at that lounge party... and now his build is going to be permanently stuck with me for a whole week in the field? Every single time my vision looks at his handsome face, it just forcefully reminds my brain of how miserably I missed seeing her at the lobby last night! This whole camp is pure psychological torture.'Dr. Sung Jin-woo looked up from his screen layout, smiling warmly, politely, and with absolute good manners as he noticed him. "Ah, hello, Dr. Hyun-woo! Have you successfully checked the emergency surgical kits yet? The Chief Senior Doctor has officially put both of our names in charge of coordinating this entire medical camp's cargo inventory.""What?!" Hyun-woo blinked in absolute, paralyzing surprise, his voice instantly filling with deep professional annoyance. "Both of us? Oh... right, fine. I was just heading over to double-check the cold-storage vaccines anyway." Turning his head away, he muttered conceitedly inside his thoughts, 'Of course! Out of all the brilliant staff people in this entire university hospital, the Chief just mandatory had to pair my build up with him!'The two doctors reluctantly, awkwardly walked side-by-side around the heavy transport vehicle, inspecting the alignment of the medical crates and checking off the final safety lists on their clipboards. A few minutes later, Chief Senior Doctor Park stepped firmly into the courtyard pavement, clapping his hands loudly twice to catch everyone's absolute attention."Alright, everyone!" Chief Dr. Park commanded at the top of his lungs. "Load the final medicine boxes and get inside the bus vehicle immediately! We mandatory need to clear out of the district before the heavy highway traffic hits the lanes! Dr. Hyun-woo, Dr. Sung Jin-woo, is every single piece of gear completely locked down and accounted for?""Yes, Senior Doctor," Dr. Sung Jin-woo and Dr. Hyun-woo answered and nodded in perfect, automatic unison. "Everything is perfectly ready for the deployment.""Excellent. Get inside the cabin right now!" Chief Dr. Park ordered.The medical staff began piling into the narrow bus doorway, laughing, joking, and chatting enthusiastically about the field camp. Dr. Hyun-woo stepped inside the narrow aisle corridor, his posture slumped as his eyes looked around the rows for a quiet, isolated spot to nurse his aching heartbreak. Near the middle rows of seats, Dr. Min-jae suddenly waved his hand frantically through the air, pointing to an empty leather spot right next to his frame."Hey, Hyun-woo! Over here, bro!" Min-jae called out loudly. "I saved this seat strictly for your build, come sit down next to me!"Just as Dr. Hyun-woo took a firm step forward down the aisle, Nurse Han Ga-on suddenly stood up from the seat row directly across the aisle from Min-jae. Without a single warning word, she reached her hand out aggressively, firmly grabbed Dr. Hyun-woo's wrist bone, and forcefully, aggressively pulled his heavy frame down into the empty window seat right next to her uniform."Dr. Hyun-woo!" Nurse Ga-on smiled brightly, her soft voice practically dripping with pure, affectionate sweetness as she held his sleeve. "You are sitting right here with my build today. I absolutely won't let your handsome face sit anywhere else on this bus!"The entire row of seats went dead silent in a single fraction of a second. Dr. Min-jae's jaw completely dropped to the floor tiles in pure shock, and the surrounding junior nurses gasped loudly at her sheer, unadulterated boldness. Dr. Sung Jin-woo walked up the steps right behind their heels, witnessing the entire dramatic, embarrassing display. Shrugging his shoulders with a faint, highly amused smile, Dr. Sung calmly slid his long frame into the empty seat right next to a completely stunned, wide-eyed Dr. Min-jae."Wow, Dr. Min-jae..." Dr. Jin-woo leaned over toward his companion, whispering curiously under the roar of the engine. "What on earth was that physical ambush? Are those two... you know, actually dating behind the department's back?""No! No way! Absolutely, completely not!" Min-jae waved his hands frantically through the air in rapid denial, whispering back loudly through his teeth. "There is absolutely zero romance like that going on between their builds! The real truth is, she is just completely, blindly obsessed with his face, and Hyun-woo's brain is way too dense to do anything about it!""What on earth do you think you're doing right now, Nurse Ga-on?!" Dr. Hyun-woo wrenched his wrist away with force, looking at her with deep, burning irritation as he dropped his voice into a harsh, suffocating whisper. "This layout is highly unprofessional, inappropriate, and entirely uncalled for in public!""I'm sorry, Dr. Hyun-woo..." Nurse Ga-on pouted beautifully, her adoring eyes looking completely, utterly unapologetic as she adjusted her seatbelt. "But I've been looking forward to this field camp trip for days, and I desperately, helplessly wanted to sit next to your build for the long drive. Please don't be angry with my face."Hyun-woo let out a long, exceptionally heavy sigh of defeat, turning his head sharply toward the glass window pane to completely, entirely ignore her presence. 'Fine,' he muttered, his expression completely miserable. 'But do not repeat this kind of highly inappropriate behavior again on this shift. I mean it strictly.' Turning his vision to the blurred road, his inner thoughts fumed, 'Ugh... Min-jae thinks she's helplessly in love with me, but this is just incredibly, profoundly annoying to my sanity. While my heart is sitting here suffocating, completely missing Kim Seo-ah's smile, I mandatory have to deal with this childish hospital drama.'The bus automatic doors hissed shut with a loud, pressurized click. The massive white vehicle pulled smoothly out of the Daehan Hospital parking lot curb and hit the open highway roads, starting their long journey. The scene transitioned through a rolling montage of passing green hills, dark tunnels, and winding mountain roads as the travel hours flew past the glass.[Scene: EXT. Oeam Folk Village Temple Grounds – Late Afternoon]The scene cut sharply to a breathtaking, picturesque landscape deep inside the pristine mountains of the OEAM FOLK district. Tall, ancient green pine trees lined a clean, winding asphalt road that opened up beautifully to a stunning, serene, and historical village valley. The mountain air was visibly crisp, cool, and clear under the twilight hues.The corporate architecture office tour bus slowly geared down and came to a gentle, automatic halt right outside a beautifully preserved, traditional stone temple courtyard. The engine hum cut off completely, and the passenger doors swung wide open with a hiss.Kim Seo-ah was the very first employee to step out of the bus steps, holding her breath deeply as she took in the crisp, invigorating mountain air, her spine alignment feeling fully recovered. Ma Ha-rin stepped down onto the gravel right behind her heels, adjusting the collar of her winter jacket, followed closely by Min, Jeon, and the rest of the excited design office team. Everyone let let out loud gasps of pure wonder and absolute awe at how incredibly beautiful, hidden, and majestic the temple location looked under the changing autumn foliage."Wow!" Ha-rin cheered, jumping up and down excitedly on the grass as she clapped her hands together with full holiday energy. "I am completely, entirely thrilled that our department got a real chance to come back to this village again! It is so incredibly gorgeous here, we are going to have so much raw fun this week!"Standing right by the metal bus steps, CEO Choi Sun-woo looked over at her form. Seeing her leap around the grass with such pure, innocent, and childlike joy caused a very soft, deeply affectionate, and warm smile to slip onto his strict executive features. He put his hands deep into his customized woolen overcoat pockets, watching her quiet profile warmly as his inner thoughts completely, happily drifted away from corporate lines.'Huh... she looks exactly like the little childhood Ma Ha-rin right now,' Sun-woo thought to himself, a warm smile breaking inside his mind as his eyes traced her movements. 'She hasn't changed a single bit over the years. Even though she used to treat my build horribly, steal my toys, and bicker with my face constantly back when we were kids on that playground... well, none of that matters now. During this autumn trip, I am absolutely, mandatory going to gather my executive courage and express my real feelings to her heart. And I am also highly looking forward to the day when we can finally reveal everything to Ma Ha-rin and Kim Seo-ah about our childhood connection, and my relationship with my brother Hyun-woo.'"Yes, Ha-rin, your high holiday excitement is great," Seo-ah interrupted, stepping forward firmly while holding her thick folder blueprints against her chest to maintain order. "But everyone mandatory needs to unpack their personal belongings and suitcases from the lower luggage trunk first. Let's not stand around wasting the remaining daylight hours."The core design team quickly moved to load up their large suitcases from Jeon's hands. Sun-woo stepped forward firmly, clearing his throat as he called out to the assembled group with his booming executive authority."Guys! Listen up for a minute," Sun-woo announced, gathering every single eye on the gravel. "I have already fully and securely arranged top-tier traditional accommodations for our entire department at a nearby luxury residence complex. Let's head over there right away to check in and settle our files.""Yes, Sir! Let's go move!" the core architecture team shouted enthusiastically in unison, grabbing their handles as they prepared to march toward their quarters.
The core design team members dragged their suitcases along a beautifully paved stone pathway that wound through the historic estate. After walking a short distance under the canopy of ancient trees, they stopped directly in front of a stunning, expansive traditional wooden village house nestled securely against the rolling mountain hills [Scene 9, Scene 6]. Standing right by the front gate to formally and warmly welcome their arrival was the elderly village homeowner, Shin Won, alongside his wife, both bowing politely with deep hospitality."Welcome to our Oeam Folk Village estate, city travelers!" Shin Won announced, placing his palms together and smiling warmly at the group. "We are completely and deeply honored to host your architecture company. However, there is a small logistical catch. We have a strictly limited number of rooms here inside this traditional structure, so you will all mandatory have to share your accommodations.""That is perfectly fine, Sir," CEO Choi Sun-woo replied smoothly, his commanding voice cutting through the crisp mountain air. "No one on our staff will have a single issue with that layout, right? We can easily manage the space parameters.""Yes, Sir! Absolutely!" the core architecture team shouted enthusiastically. "This is actually much better for our team building. We will have so much more fun staying together under one roof!""Perfect!" Ma Ha-rin cheered, jumping up and down excitedly on her heels despite her minor ankle scrape. "Then in this specific room, it will be me, Kim Seo-ah, and Min [Scene 9]. Is that alright with your schedule, Min?"Min laughed loudly, tossing her travel bag straight onto the plush mattress inside the room. "Yes, of course! Count my build in immediately."The rest of the corporate employees quickly paired up, claimed their respective quarters, and dispersed down the wooden corridors. In the end, only Jeon and Mr. Sun-woo were left standing idle in the open courtyard.Jeon rubbed the back of his neck, hesitating slightly as he looked at his formidable boss. "So, Sir... it looks like it's strictly just the two of us left on the roster. Mr. Sun-woo, are you truly comfortable sharing a room with my build?""Yes, Jeon," Sun-woo replied, smiling warmly and casually as he slung his laptop bag over his shoulder. "It is completely fine. Don't worry about it at all."Turning his frame toward the rest of the open windows, his booming executive voice echoed across the courtyard. "Alright, everyone! Let's officially call it a night and get some proper rest. It took our transport quite a while to navigate past the highway traffic to get here, so we will officially start our project blueprints tomorrow morning sharp."Shin Won stepped forward politely, gesturing toward the kitchen wing. "Would you all like to have dinner tonight? I can easily have my wife prepare a hot, traditional meal for your entire staff.""Thank you sincerely, but please don't trouble yourself or your wife," Sun-woo declined politely with a warm wave of his hand. "We actually ate a massive ton of snacks and rest-stop food on our way here. Everyone is already completely full.""Yes, Sir, our stomachs are completely packed!" the employees called out from their rooms. "All we mandatory need right now is a good night's sleep."With the logistics fully settled, the exhausted design team members headed off to their respective rooms to unpack. Inside their traditional quarters, Min and Ma Ha-rin instantly collapsed face-first onto the large, plush bed sheets, groaning with relief."Oh wow!" Ha-rin whispered, closing her eyes as she let out a blissful, deep sigh. "This bed is absolutely heavenly, and this historic wooden room is so incredibly gorgeous!"Seo-ah smiled softly, carefully unzipping her folder blueprints onto the study table. "Yes, the place is genuinely peaceful, serene, and comforting to the mind."[Scene 6: EXT. OPPOSITE HOUSE – NIGHT – CONTINUOUS]At that exact same milestone moment, the heavy, white Red Cross medical transport bus pulled up right outside on the winding mountain road, its air brakes hissing to a sharp halt against the gravel curb [Scene 6]. The passenger doors swung wide open, and the university hospital staff slowly, wearily stepped out into the crisp evening mountain air. Everyone was thoroughly, entirely exhausted after the long highway transit, aggressively stretching their stiff shoulders and yawning under the starlight."Ugh!" Dr. Min-jae let out a highly dramatic groan of pure physical fatigue, popping his spine. "I am completely, entirely exhausted. My lower back is practically broken from that bus seat!""Huh... this place is actually incredibly beautiful and pristine," Dr. Choi Hyun-woo murmured, unloading his heavy luggage bags from the side compartment as his dark eyes looked around the serene mountain landscape. "But it's getting exceptionally late, let's grab our gear and move inside the property.""Come on, doctors!" Chief Senior Doctor Park clapped his hands loudly twice, using his strict, unyielding clinical authority to restore discipline. "You are all senior medical professionals, and you're already whining over a simple highway road trip? Please remember, we mandatory need to inspect the field medical camp site first thing tomorrow morning and finalize the entire pharmaceutical inventory. Move your steps!""Yes, Senior Doctor," Dr. Sung Jin-woo nodded politely with a calm, well-mannered smile, lifting a heavy crate of supplies. "We understand the timeline perfectly."The doctors began hauling their heavy medical crates, surgical boxes, and personal bags straight toward their assigned quarters. By a striking, unbelievable twist of cosmic fate, the traditional house allocated by the village council for the hospital medical camp was located directly across the narrow dirt path—right in front of the exact same house where Kim Seo-ah and her corporate architecture team were staying.[Scene: INT. KIM SEO'S ROOM / WINDOW – NIGHT]Inside the dimly lit traditional room, Ma Ha-rin and Min sat up on the soft mattress sheets, organizing their clothes. Kim Seo-ah walked slowly over to the large, traditional wooden window panel and pushed the lattices wide open to let in the cool evening breeze."The view from this window is absolutely, profoundly breathtaking," Seo-ah whispered, looking out at the twilight sky, completely mesmerized by the dark outlines of the mountain hills. "This evening feels so incredibly beautiful, serene, and magical..."Right at that exact split second, the glaring halogen headlights of the hospital transport bus cut sharply through the darkness outside, and the loud voices of the medical staff echoed clearly across the open courtyard path. Seo-ah's manager gaze instinctively wandered outside the frame for a brief moment, drawn by the mechanical noise.Through the darkness, she spotted the elderly owner of the opposite house standing by the gate, formally welcoming the new arrivals. In the dim evening starlight, she caught a brief, shadowy glimpse of several tall figures walking inside the front doors—including the silhouette of Dr. Choi Hyun-woo. However, because of the distance and the thick mist rolling off the hills, she was entirely too far away to recognize his face or trace his identity.Closing the wooden window panel with a soft, gentle smile, she turned back around to face her roommates. "Alright, let's unwind from the office stress. How about a glass of traditional wine before we sleep tonight?""Oh yes, absolutely! Why on earth not?!" Min and Ma Ha-rin cheered happily, jumping up from the mattress. "Wine is the absolute perfect way to end this crazy deadline day!"Seo-ah poured the wine carefully into small traditional ceramic cups, handing them over to Ma Ha-rin and Min with a warm smile. They clinked their glasses together with soft laughs, the tension of the city finally draining away. Min was already yawning deeply after her first few sips, her eyes growing heavy, while Ma Ha-rin took a deep breath, her fingers secretly, nervously brushing against the heavy, unique time-freezing couple watch hidden securely inside her winter jacket pocket resting on the chair.[Scene: INT. DR. HYUN'S SHARED ROOM – NIGHT]Meanwhile, inside the traditional house located directly across the path, the Chief Doctor gathered the exhausted medical team in the main wooden hallway corridor to distribute the keys."Listen up carefully, everyone," Chief Dr. Park announced, tapping his metal clipboard registry. "Rooms are strictly limited inside this village sector, and our hospital budget cannot afford individual quarters for the camp staff. You will all mandatory have to share the floor space. Dr. Sung Jin-woo, Dr. Hyun-woo, and Dr. Min-jae—the three of you will occupy this front master room. The rest of you, go ahead and settle into your designated spots immediately."The exact microsecond the instructions left the Chief's mouth, Dr. Hyun-woo's expression completely and totally dropped into pure misery. He was utterly, thoroughly miserable. He was already burning with intense professional irritation and jealousy toward Dr. Sung Jin-woo after the party, and now, by a cruel twist of management, he was forced to spend the entire night locked inside the exact same room with his rival. But with the terrifying Chief Doctor standing right before his face, he had absolutely zero choice but to swallow his burning anger down his throat. They headed straight into their shared quarters, dragging their bags.Sleep was a distant, impossible dream for Dr. Hyun-woo tonight. He lay awake flat on his back, staring blankly up at the dark wooden ceiling panels as the hours ticked past midnight. His mind was completely, relentlessly flooded with vivid thoughts of Kim Seo-ah—the memory of her radiant smile from the party and the bittersweet, aching connection of a childhood playground past she didn't even remember.Suddenly, a loud, thunderous snore cut sharply through his romantic thoughts.Hyun-woo turned his head sideways across the rug, and he gasped in pure, unadulterated irritation. Sleeping peacefully right next to his frame, completely dead to the world without a single care in his mind, was Dr. Sung Jin-woo.The vivid memory of yesterday's party flashed intensely behind Hyun-woo's eyelids—how comfortably, warmly, and closely Sung Jin-woo was talking, leaning in, and laughing with Kim Seo-ah on the dance floor.'Of all the people in this entire world...' Hyun-woo thought to himself, gritting his teeth so hard his jaw ached as he glared at his sleeping colleague in the dark room. 'I am mandatory trapped in a room with him.'Rolling over miserably on his side away from the noise, he aggressively covered his face flat with his heavy pillow to block out the snoring, while the entire quiet village of Oeam Folk fell into a deep, silent sleep under the autumn sky.
