Chaos erupted.
Ah Reum had struck Won Dong-hyun for the second time—but this time, in front of the entire hospital.
Dong-hyun retaliated with a slap of his own.
Now, both of them stood before the disciplinary committee—Dong-hyun looking alarmed, Ah Reum appearing haggard and withdrawn.
Just moments before stepping into the committee room, she had been flamboyant, throwing him a smirk that oozed defiance.
But now… she was someone else entirely.
Her sudden transformation caught Dong-hyun completely off guard. He stood there, visibly troubled, his confidence shaken.
The committee members observed them both in silence, exchanging knowing glances before the proceedings began.
The chairperson cleared her throat and looked at Ah Reum kindly.
"Typically, we conduct hearings with both parties present," the committee member said gently. "But if you prefer to speak separately, we can allow that."
Her voice was soft, reassuring.
