Golden Time

“Did you like the food?”

Suhuk nodded at Lee’s asking.

“It was delicious.” The food was really good.

Though he didn’t visit that kind of restaurant often, it surely offered the best Korean food he’s ever had.

“Let’s come back again next time.”

So they left the place. As soon as the car was running, he suddenly checked his cell phone.

Did the battery go out? It was turned off.

When Suhyuk pressed the power button long, the screen turned on.

The capacity of the battery was big enough. ‘It is about time to change ...’

He used it without changing for the past five years.

At that moment Suhyuk’s cell phone vibrated and a message window popped up,

<suhyuk, this=”” brother=”” feels=”” regrettable...=””>

Starting with it, the message continued to come up.

All were sent by Prof. Kim Jin-wook. What was it?

<suhyuk, did=”” you=”” turn=”” off=”” your=”” cell=”” phone=”” on=”” purpose?=”” how=”” about=”” dinner=”” tonight=””>

<oh, i=”” have=”” got=”” a=”” surgery=”” schedule=”” today.=”” if=”” you=”” want,=”” let=”” me=”” reserve=”” one=”” spot=”” for=””>

Confirming all the text messages, Suhyuk rubbed his arms.

He got goose bumps for some reason.

He wrote a reply message right away.

At that moment he fixed his eyes on the front when Lee said, “What a traffic jam!”

As he said, the cars in front were crawling like tortoise, though they got out of the foot of mountain.

It’s impossible there could be such a traffic jam. Any car accident?

That’s possible. Suhyuk checked his watch. It’s already passing over 2pm.

“I’m afraid I’m too late ...”

Suhyuk’s worries were evident in his face.

Lee smiled and said, “You do not have to worry about it. Why? Are you afraid someone is going to take any issue?”

Suhyuk was an intern who had not been assigned to any specific department for internship.

And he had no meaningful weight as a doctor.

Nobody could take any issue with him just because he was a bit late.

Because he was with Prof. Lee.

“If anybody says something about this, tell me right away.”

Smiling bitterly, Suhyuk looked out the car window.

He just wanted to go back to the hospital.

“How about Soyon?”

“She looks beautiful,” he said.

That was true. She was really beautiful.

“I’m not mentioning this because she is my nephew, but she is very upright and good ...”

While Lee said so, his eyes were getting bigger.

A two-story house seen on the side.

The two-story house was leaning to one side. Then it collapsed with a big thump.

There was an incredible thing happening in front of him.

The car that was crawling stopped completely.

And the people inside the car came out one by one. Suhyuk was different.

He could not see well due to the dust. Was there anyone inside the house?

“Anyone trapped inside?”

As if it was answering his shouting, the water from the pipe burst out like a fountain.

And the dust that interfered with his view disappeared in an instant.

“Is anybody here?” There was no answer.

Was there nobody in the house? If so, that’s really fortunate.

Soaked to the skin, Suhyuk looked around to check if there was anyone wounded, and walked around the collapsed house.

He heard nothing like human voice, though.

“Huuuuuh ...”

At that moment, he heard something like “Help...”

It was a very little voice.

When he called out, he heard a voice immediately, “Here... Here..”

He moved hastily.

“Where?”

Suhyuk started to remove the trees and stones quickly.

He did not care though he had the back of his hand was bruised.

“Please help me ..” The voice of a woman trapped in a heap of stones.

Soon a child’s crying could be heard.

“Are you okay?”

Suhyuk, who knelt down on both knees, put his ears closer to the ground.

“Please help me, I think my husband is shedding a lot of blood.”

Her voice was in pain.

Suhyuk, who rose from his place, took a hard time lifting up a big stone with all his might.

But it didn’t budge at all. At least it weighed more than 200kg.

No wonder that he could not move it at all.

He quickly shook his head and shouted “Help!”

Did they hear not his shouting voice?

They just came from their cars, showing no sign of coming to help him, and called somewhere. Even some of them were leaving the place in a car.

Knitting his brows, Suhyuk pushed it hard again.

But it was the same as before.

The stone still did not move.

At that moment he saw a metal pipe on one side.

It was long enough. At least 5 meter long.

Carrying it on his shoulder, he put the pipe inside the gap underneath the stone.

He was about to use the principle of leverage. And then he pushed it very hard.

The stone hovered up and down. Suhyuk frowned his face.

He was squeezing up all the strength he had to lift it up.

“Just a little more ...” Did Suhyuk’s desperate efforts pay off?

The stones rolled over with a big noise.

Throwing out the iron pipe, Suhyuk threw away some small stones.

Lee Mansuk then walked to him. He was all wet to the skin.

“Was there a person? Inside”

Suhyuk, not hearing his words well, moved his hand like a person who lost his senses.

Soon he could see a small hole.

And there a woman’s face was seen halfway, and the child’s cry was heard more clearly.

Suhyuk’s mouth was reflexively opened. “Are you okay?”

“My husband doesn’t open his eyes.” she said.

Her husband lay next to her, but Suhyuk could not see him because a heap of stones was blocking his view.

“Hold on a second, I’ll take you out soon.”

Suhyuk grabbed the pipe again. And he started to take away the stones.

Lee, who was next to Suhyup, had finished dialing 119 and Daehan Hospital.

When he removed all the stones, there appeared a pit about one meter in diameter.

They were trapped in the pit. How fortunate they were.

A fireplace made of cast iron prevented the stones from falling over.

“Please take out my kid ...”

Suhyuk quickly pulled out the child crouching inside.

A child with lots of dust covering his face.

And the sound of falling water like a rain, and the cry of a child,

“Now I think it’s okay, Professor Lee, please take care of this boy.”

Suhyuk handed over his hands to the woman.

“My husband ...”

“Come out first.” Suhyuk pulled her out.

And he told her, with blood coming down from her hair. “Tell me how you are sick.”

Fortunately, her skull seemed to be okay, though she had a little bruise.

“Boohoo...I’m okay, please save my husband!”

At her desperate screaming, Suhyuk jumped down.

And he could see the man trapped under a stone. One side of the wall was pressing down on his lower body, and he was bleeding.

“Please come to your senses!”

Suhyuk waved him and took his hand to his nose. His breath was too weak.

Then his eyelids shuddered, and he said, “Where am I ..”

“The house building collapsed. Are you okay?”

His eyes suddenly opened.

“Yerin, Mijin!” “Honey!”

His wife and child crying were seen in his eyes.

When he confirmed his family ‘s faces, he began to moan.

He felt a great deal of pain down from the lower body.

Suhyup took off his clothes and covered his upper body.

His lips were blue. He was having hypothermia caused by bleeding.

Suhyuk had an embarrassed expression. There was nothing he could do.

Only a superman could move the stone that had been pressing down on him.

“Hasn’t the ambulance not come yet? Looks like he needs blood transfusion quickly.”

At Suhyuk’s urging, Lee dialed 119 again and shouted. “Come quickly!”

It has already been five minutes since Suhyuk went inside the pit.

In the meantime, the sound of the ambulance did not sound.

“Hold on a second.” Suhyuk continued to speak to him.

However, the bleeding was so severe that it was not easy.

If he loses consciousness, the situation would be getting out of control.

“I don’t have any sense now.”

When the man said that, Suhyuk knitted his brows.

That meant his body was getting more and more damaged. Nothing he could help.

“The body of a man is mysterious. It breaks like an egg and it is hard as a rock.”

At Suhyuk’s words, the man smiled hard. He could understand what he meant.

Words of encouragement. “Your kids look wonderful.”

The man smiled with effort. His family looking down on him with tears dripping.

“They look after my wife.”

Then Suhyuk heard a nice siren sound.

And soon the faces of the paramedics were seen above. Suhyuk opened his mouth.

“Blood transfusion, first.”

The blood transfusion was done immediately.

While Suhyuk was carrying the blood pack, paramedics began to agonize because they could not break the stone or use the cutter to pull him out.

The location of his being trapped was really exquisite.

If they remove the stone covering the lower body of the man, the surrounding stones will collapse.

“We have to lift it from the top.”

In order to prevent any collapse, there was no other way for them to remove the stones from the outside.

While they were agonizing over it, Suhyuk was also thinking.

Even a moment was urgent. Transfusion alone has its limitations.

As time went by, the life of the victim would get worse.

Looking at the lower body of the man quietly, Suhyuk opened my mouth.

“We could cut his leg.”</oh,></suhyuk,></suhyuk,>
