Dr. A Doctor Who Sees a Fresh Future – Episode 240 (240/241)

Extra Episode 22. Snake and Wild Cat (8)

All eyes turned to one spot.

A thick stack of printouts!

Everyone knew what Dong-tak had taken out of his bag.

“You know what this is, right?”

“Yes.”

“How are you going to study medicine without this, huh?”

……Before knowing what that was, let’s look at the amount of medical study.

Acquiring vast medical knowledge is difficult.

For example, in the first semester of the first year of medical school, you learn .

Within there are 9 subspecialties.

Gastroenterology.

Pulmonology.

Cardiology.

Nephrology.

And so on.

To acquire all this knowledge in one semester?

You have to study a thick book in 1-2 weeks.

You have to take exams every two weeks with a book as the test scope, and of course, selective focus is necessary.

Then, what is the most essential thing for this selective focus?

That is the collection of past exam questions, the !

Trying to study a huge exam range, it was almost impossible to take the exam without the past exam questions, the .

The professors in charge of the subjects were somewhat aware that the students had cheat sheets, and they used to put exam questions with slight modifications and new questions.

“You guys know Sun-mi, right, among our seniors?”

“Ah… are you talking about the senior who never missed first place?”

“That’s right. That senior was in our basketball club ‘Crazy4U’, right?”

Senior Lee Sun-mi, who graduated at the top of her class.

I heard the behind-the-scenes story that she extremely hated club activities, but the juniors just nodded and listened to Na Dong-tak’s story.

“This is the cheat sheet that senior updated! The legendary cheat sheet that is only passed down in our club!”

“Wow—”

“Hyung [older brother/senior], Dong-tak is the best!”

Everyone is in flattery mode.

The more they did, the better Dong-tak felt.

He felt like he had immense power within the medical school society.

Meanwhile, the club members were realizing what it meant to be on the line [subservient to seniors]…….

“This is confidential. Don’t let it out and share it only within the club!”

“Yes, senior!”

“Hey, my glass is empty!”

“Yes, hyung. Here you go.”

The moment Kim Snake picked up the bottle, Dong-tak put his foot under the table.

Thud!

Kim Snake bit his lip.

His knee hurt.

It was a bit too hard to be a joke.

Na Dong-tak had bad habits with his hands as well as his feet when he drank. He was just a bad guy overall.

“Oh, did it hurt? It was a joke, but I hit you a little hard. Sorry.”

“……It’s okay, hyung.”

“Hey, you shouldn’t be so clueless! Why do you keep filling my glass, Kim Snake! We have our Hyo-sun next to me!”

“Ah, oppa [older brother/boyfriend], I’ll fill it for you.”

“Was I being too obvious? I wanted to drink the alcohol that our Hyo-sun pours. You know my heart, right?”

“Heh.”

Choi Hyo-sun filled Dong-tak’s glass with an uncomfortable ‘heh’ laugh, and Kim Snake hid his annoyance and thought.

‘Is this right?’

Of course, I don’t hate being on the line with seniors in college.

There are quite a few benefits.

Except for guys like Dong-tak, there are many good people among the seniors.

This is right to design a good doctor’s life in the future.

But…….

‘It’s no fun.’

Unwanted drinking parties.

Disgusting senior-junior culture.

All of these things…….

Little by little, I began to feel disillusioned.

* * *

Jongno, Nakwon Arcade.

This place is called the mecca of musicians.

A woman with pink hair and a loose hoodie got off the bus with a determined look.

Song Yu-ju, after a long 고민 [agonizing thought], finally came here.

‘Let’s not impulse buy…… let’s just look around.’

Step, step—

She takes confident steps toward the arcade.

For her, a rock mania, learning to play a band instrument was a long-cherished desire.

But.

Even after entering college, she did not learn to play an instrument.

It was an excuse that she thought she would become too absorbed if she fell into it once, and she was worried that it would interfere with her medical school studies…….

In fact, the biggest reason is-

There is no one to do it with!

Because I’m an outsider!

Because bands can’t be done alone…….

‘I wish there was a band club in medical school that suited me…… if that were the case, I might not have been an outsider from the beginning.’

Of course, Yonsei University Medical School also had a band club. But it was notorious as a club that only drank alcohol.

From the band name, .

Every time they had a meeting, everyone became unconscious and returned to the dormitory like the band name…… and it wasn’t the kind of band that Song Yu-ju wanted.

She had peeked at the Yonsei University central clubs a few times, but she didn’t join because the atmosphere didn’t suit her.

‘……If I ask the kids around me to do it, will they do it with me?’

Suddenly, she thinks of the people around her.

Bulky Brothers?

Well, would they do it?

Ma Dong-seop seems to be a good fit for a heavy bass. Yeo Bong-cheol seems to be good at drums.

And also…….

Kim Snake?

Song Yu-ju shook her head.

‘What am I thinking? Why would I do a band with him? In the first place, there’s no way that human would do a band with me because he’s trying to please the seniors…….’

Tsk—

Song Yu-ju clicked her tongue.

Do I have so few friends! No matter how desperate I am, to think of Kim Snake!

Lamenting her narrow human relationships, Song Yu-ju got off the elevator.

‘Wow.’

It was amazing.

Instruments piled up like mountains—

Various shops—

Twenty-one-year-old Song Yu-ju moved her steps with a slightly excited feeling.

Soon, she was able to find a store where a boss with a shaggy beard was playing the guitar inside a cornered glass wall.

Song Yu-ju carefully opened the door and went inside. First of all, she was going to explore information by going around to various places.

“Excuse me.”

“Welcome.”

“I’m trying to find out about guitars, but first of all, what is the price range for each type…….”

“Wait.”

The boss seemed to feel something and cut off Song Yu-ju’s words and suddenly held out his hand.

“Let’s shake hands with our left hands.”

“!!”

Thump!

Song Yu-ju’s heart was pounding.

It was a famous saying by legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix (1942~1970).

Song Yu-ju handed out her left hand as if possessed and shook hands with the boss, saying.

“Because the left hand is closer to the heart.”

“You know something.”

“Of course.”

That’s right. Rock and roll is something that the heart tells you, not the head……!

“Come this way. Special customers need special products.”

The짬 [experience/skill] of a merchant……!

The boss’s salesmanship, which had been built up over a long period of time in Nakwon Arcade, was enormous—

That day, Song Yu-ju impulsively bought an electric guitar, an amp, and even an effector.

* * *

Kim Snake thought.

I hate it so much that I could die.

When he encountered the wild Song Yu-ju, she had become a guitarist in a few days.

“…….”

11 p.m.

The backyard of the central library.

Behind the brightly lit building because it was exam period—

Song Yu-ju was sitting on a bench practicing the guitar.

Because it’s an electric guitar, I can’t hear the sound well, so I don’t know what she’s practicing.

I don’t know when she dyed her hair again, but it’s a much more plausible indie pink color than before.

Looking at her slender fingers moving quite skillfully on the guitar strings, it seems like she has practiced a lot.

‘She’s fallen into her own world.’

After staring for a while, Kim Snake threw a word.

“Are you having fun?”

“?”

“Are you having fun living your college life the way you want?”

“Are you trying to pick a fight again?”

“It’s been two years…… shouldn’t you try to fit in with the 분위기 [atmosphere/vibe] of the department? Other people are getting hurt because of you.”

“What damage?”

“These days, the student council seniors are angry and sharpening their knives. The pre-med freshmen keep ignoring the rules and want to play separately like you. Yesterday, I had to study for the exam, but they called a meeting…….”

“Hey, Kim Snake.”

Song Yu-ju took off her headset and asked.

“Why is that because of me?”

“What?”

“Is that my fault? Isn’t it the fault of the person who is bullying me?”

“…….”

During school days, Koreans have all had similar experiences during training camp.

While being punished like that, if someone adds the last slogan—

‘That guy is the problem.’

‘Stupid guy.’

‘Nuisance.’

Arrows of blame pour out.

But…….

The moment you focus on blaming the person next to you, the awareness of the problem of being forced into that unreasonable system in the first place is completely erased.

Yu-ju was pointing that out.

“Kim Snake, I’m doing what I have to do in my own way. I attend official events while getting cursed at, and I respect the seniors when I meet them. You keep picking fights, so I’m keeping at least the minimum.”

“…….”

“So don’t pick a fight today and go.”

“Aren’t you studying for the exam?”

“None of your business.”

That .

Kim Snake sat next to Song Yu-ju, who was angrily focusing on practicing the guitar again.

And, he took out a paper from his backpack and handed it over.

“What is this?”

“Cheat sheet.”

“?”

“You don’t have to thank me.”

Pre-med 2nd year.

It’s time to start major classes.

is the first full-fledged medical subject that medical students encounter.

It was not an easy subject for anyone, as they had to memorize and understand the numerous structures of our body.

“Why are you giving me this?”

“You’re an outsider without a club, so where are you going to get a cheat sheet?”

“…….”

“Don’t say I gave it to you. I’ll really die if the seniors catch me.”

Kim Snake shook his butt and got up.

I don’t know why he wanted to give it to Song Yu-ju. He couldn’t explain the reason clearly himself.

But the next moment.

A stack of printouts touched Kim Snake’s back.

“I don’t need it.”

“?”

“Why are you turning your back so coolly as if you’re doing me a favor? Who asked you to show me the cheat sheet?”

Song Yu-ju handed it back without even looking at the cheat sheet.

Kim Snake’s face turned red.

This is real!

“Ah, okay! Do whatever you want! You’re so great!”

Kim Snake snatched the cheat sheet and headed to the central library, panting.

“……!”

Why?

I’m getting angry.

When I see her, I can’t say nice things and I keep picking fights.

Is it because Song Yu-ju is a social misfit and I’m frustrated because she’s pathetic?

No.

“…….”

Kim Snake knew the answer.

I think I’m wrong.

So…….

I’m getting anxious.

Because of the thought that maybe she’s not wrong.

* * *

Exam time.

The pen is moving busily.

As with most medical school exams, the anatomy exam was especially important for memorization.

Some people look at the ceiling and try to recall what they saw and memorized in the .

There was no better guide than the as to what to memorize among the many things.

And after a while.

Click—

When Song Yu-ju submitted her answer sheet first and got up from her seat and went out, everyone thought to themselves.

‘What?’

‘Did she already finish the exam?’

‘Did she give up?’

‘Well, it’s understandable…….’

Because she didn’t have a cheat sheet.

In addition, it was rumored that Song Yu-ju was immersed in guitar practice all day these days.

‘No matter how well she studies, it would have been difficult for her to take the major exam without a cheat sheet!’

However, they didn’t know.

Song Yu-ju—

The reason why she didn’t get a perfect score on the college scholastic ability test in her third year of high school was simply a mistake in marking the OMR card [answer sheet].

And on the day of the scholarship announcement.

[List of Scholarship Recipients]

Song Yu-ju

Lee Soo-ji

Kang Do-won

Jin Seok-hoon

……

‘First place?’

‘Song Yu-ju, who studied without a cheat sheet?’

‘Is this even possible?’

Everyone was in shock.

Everyone knew implicitly. The list of scholarship recipients is listed in order of grades.

This rumor quickly spread throughout the medical school—

“What? F…… First place?”

Clang!

Na Dong-tak’s spoon fell onto the 식판 [cafeteria tray] while he was eating.

He was speechless.

That doesn’t make sense!

He checked again through the student council, and his eyes glared fiercely at the fact that Song Yu-ju was the top of the class.
