"That's fine, he isn't my type."

"Your standards really are high, unnie. Tell me what your type is, I can introduce you to someone I know."

"No thanks, you don't even have a boyfriend yourself," said Lisa helplessly.

"That's because I'm picky. Oh right, if you don't like him, then could you give me his contact information? I'm talking about the one from the Radiology Department."

"Uhm, sure." After she spoke, Lisa pushed all of the flowers aside and handed a bunch of phone numbers to Wonyoung.

"It's all here. Pick whichever one you like."

"Thanks, unnie," said Wonyoung, her face filled with joy.

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and the head nurse entered, looking serious.

"Lisa, come with me."

"Yes."

"Oh no, the old hag must have found out about what happened. Be careful!" Wonyoung said with sympathy.

Lisa felt goosebumps. She never thought that the dispute she and Dahyun caused in the staff cafeteria would create such a scene.

It seemed like even the head nurse had found out about it.

The head nurse hated these sorts of drama the most, especially if personal matters got in the way of professionalism.

A lecture seemed inevitable.

- In the corridor around the corner of the stairs -

The head nurse called Lisa off to the side.

"Do you know why I asked to see you?" asked the head nurse.

Lisa nodded with guilt.

"Since you know why, then I'll speak bluntly. I heard that you've broken up with that ophthalmology doctor, right?"

"Yes."

"So the woman you lashed out at in the cafeteria, is she the other woman?" asked the head nurse.

"I didn't lash out at her, Head Nurse. Dahyun started it. I was only eating my meal quietly, I really was."

"Not bad, good for you." Smiled the Head Nurse as she patted Lisa's shoulder.

Lisa froze...

What was happening?

"Good job, you're making our department proud by letting them know that they can't just pick on us. We're not soft tomatoes that people can just bully around."

"Mhm." Lisa was speechless.

"There's also one more thing I wanted to talk to you about."

"Go ahead, Head Nurse," Lisa said with respect. She looked like she was prepared for any task that her superior might give her.

"Well, you're single now. I just happen to have a distant cousin who is working in our city. He's a great guy and isn't too far from your age, but most importantly, he also works in the medical field. He's in forensics. I think you guys would be great together, so I've planned for the two of you to meet next week."

"Uhm… Head Nurse, are you possibly trying to introduce me to a boyfriend?"

"Yes, the nurses in our hospital aren't so reliable. You are all about the same age, but you're the only one who is mature and low-key, so I think you would be perfect for my cousin. Don't worry about his family situation. He has a house and a car, and his parents are both doing business down south. So if you guys get married, it'll just be the two of you. It will be great."
