Chapter Title: The Delicious-Looking Nurse
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yoon Ha-rin worked at a mid-sized general hospital.
There weren't that many nurses there either.
For a place like that to have bullying going on.
It was ridiculous.
"Maybe that's exactly why it happens."
I didn't know the reason.
Still, Yoon Ha-rin's situation was heartbreaking.
I hated seeing such a kind and gentle person go through that.
It happened to me too.
So I did a search.
I mainly identified the nurses doing the bullying through searches.
And found their weaknesses.
Jo Kyung-hee had not only failed in trying to steal her junior's boyfriend.
She was even secretly diverting medications.
How could anyone forgive that?
"...Brother-in-law."
I knew about her relationship with Yoon Ha-rin from the search too.
Her phone had [Sister-in-law] saved in the contacts to begin with.
They'd been calling each other brother-in-law and sister-in-law all along.
"Yeah. Sister-in-law. Long time no see."
"..."
"I came to check out the hospital for investment purposes and happened to see you."
"I see."
"I overheard some pretty harsh words being thrown at you. You okay?"
"Yes. I'm fine."
"From what I caught, it didn't sound like it was just once or twice."
"Oh, no. It's not that frequent."
"Is that the senior you're trying to protect again?"
"..."
"That's why you keep getting picked on. Like a pushover."
It was heartbreaking.
Because that was exactly my personality.
Even when Choi Seok-hyun caused trouble, I'd smooth things over.
I'd even endured it when he tried to pin it on me.
But nothing came back in return.
Just even more pushover treatment.
"Don't worry about it anymore. Since I'm here, I'll take care of bullies like that."
"P-Pardon?"
"I told you earlier, right? I'm here to check on the investment."
"So... you're investing in this hospital, brother-in-law?"
"Not finalized yet. Gotta talk to the hospital director first."
I'd searched the hospital director's goals and ambitions too.
He was obsessed with expanding the hospital and desperate for investment.
So I could use investment as leverage.
"Your face looks really worn out."
"Have you... been well, brother-in-law?"
"Not really."
"..."
Yoon Ha-rin hung her head low.
"But I'm okay now. I've overcome a lot."
"...I'm sorry, brother-in-law. I really had no idea... about my sister."
"I didn't know either, so it wouldn't make sense for you to."
I said it casually, like it was nothing.
"Is this the place?"
"Yes. This is it."
"Thanks, sister-in-law."
"No problem... brother... in-law."
The word "brother-in-law" had a nice ring to it.
We weren't technically related anymore, but no need to correct her.
"See you later then."
"L-Later?"
"Yeah."
With that, I opened the door and went in.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "So you're saying you'll invest in our hospital?"
"I'm thinking of starting small-scale for now. Could expand depending on how it goes."
Medical corporations can't legally accept outside investment shares due to regulations.
So funding comes as loans or workarounds.
"Y-Yes! Of course you should!"
The hospital director bowed and scraped anyway.
His attitude shifted after learning about my company's size.
He figured a Neo Class-level firm could pull off some kind of helpful investment no matter what.
"But I noticed some issues."
I trailed off on purpose.
"Pardon? W-What kind of issues?"
"Looks like there's nurse-on-nurse bullying going on."
"Ah..."
"These days, one news story like that tanks a hospital's image. Not sure if I want to invest in this atmosphere."
"I'll handle that personally."
I had no real plans for a big investment anyway.
The search showed returns wouldn't justify it.
I was just using it as an excuse to punish nurses like Jo Kyung-hee.
"On my way up, I even saw one harassing someone in the emergency stairs."
"W-Who?"
"Nurse Jo Kyung-hee, was it? From what I overheard, she was picking on her for nothing. Just venting stress."
"Ah! That... Yes. I'll take care of it."
"And it seemed like there were more."
"I'll investigate thoroughly and handle it. Please trust us and invest. We'd be so grateful."
The director seemed determined.
"By the way. No one's diverting meds from the hospital, right?"
"Pardon? What do you... mean by that?"
"Just a feeling. You know how sensitive prescription drugs are these days. And I heard there are some doctors and nurses in messy relationships. Gotta be extra careful about that."
Sweat beaded on the director's forehead.
This was bait enough.
If he cleaned up properly, I'd proceed. If he half-assed it, I'd pull out.
I smiled faintly.
"I'll check the atmosphere and decide on the investment size."
"Yes! Thank you so much. I'll make sure it's handled perfectly!"
"Also, since I'm here, I'd like a health checkup and to rest a day. Possible?"
"Of course! We'll prepare the top VVIP single room."
"Assign Nurse Yoon Ha-rin as my dedicated nurse."
"Nurse Yoon Ha-rin?"
"Yeah. She's an acquaintance, so it'll be comfortable."
"If that's what you want, absolutely."
"Then I'm off."
I left the director's office and waited.
"...Brother-in-law. You're getting a health checkup?"
Yoon Ha-rin arrived.
"Yeah. Checkup and some care for the day. Been tired lately."
"Got it. I'll take care of you."
"I asked for you specifically."
"I heard."
"Not inconvenient, right?"
"...I'm fine with it. As long as you are, brother-in-law."
She's not fine.
With her personality, the guilt would make her take even better care.
"Sorry for making you pull an all-nighter."
"No. I was on night duty anyway."
"Good then."
"Let's go, brother-in-law. I'll assist with the checkup."
She really seemed so gentle and kind.
'Heart's racing a bit.'
She had all the traits I liked.
She seemed a little withdrawn now because of me.
But she was usually bright and lively.
Plus an innocent beauty, big breasts, wide hips.
And firm thighs and ass.
On top of that, a sweet personality.
We headed downstairs, and Nurse Jo Kyung-hee spotted me and flinched.
She must've heard about the investment; her face was pale.
She rolled her eyes, then approached and bowed her head.
"S-Sorry if I was rude earlier."
"What now?"
"I'm not usually like that..."
"Nurse Park Mi-jeong?"
"Yes?"
I read the name tag of a nearby woman.
"Getting along well with your boyfriend?"
"Wh-What?"
"If you've been together a while, it'd piss you off if someone tried to steal him, right?"
"..."
"I saw someone hit on a guy's girlfriend and get shot down. That's why I'm saying this."
Jo Kyung-hee would get fired anyway.
But I wanted to drag her down harder, so I stirred the pot.
Her eyes widened like she had no idea.
Those wide eyes turned to Jo Kyung-hee.
"No way... Senior?"
"N-No, Mi-jeong. It wasn't me."
"Senior..."
I could hear the other nurses murmuring as they watched.
Rumors about Jo Kyung-hee would spread even more now.
And the bullying of Yoon Ha-rin would stop.
"Senior, did you hit on my boyfriend?"
"N-No, I said!"
"Stay right there. I'm checking."
"Mi-Mi-jeong! Mi-jeong? Hear me out first?"
"Hands off!"
Park Mi-jeong called someone and yelled into the phone.
"So that bitch Jo Kyung-hee hit on you?"
After confirming, she hung up, face twisted in fury.
"You call yourself a senior, trying to steal a junior's boyfriend?"
That's when the real fun fight show started.
"You fucking bitch!"
They grabbed hair, scratched, total chaos.
Yoon Ha-rin tried to break it up.
I deliberately took her hand and pulled her away.
"Leave 'em. People like that need to get what's coming."
"...You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"Yeah. Being purely nice just gets you used by people like that. Gotta pay them back properly so it sticks."
"..."
Even patients gathered to watch the fight.
"You fucking bitch! Your boyfriend hit on me first!"
"Bullshit! You're done for today! I learned taekwondo for this!"
Thwack-
Oof. Fiery.
Someone else's fight is always the most entertaining.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ After the checkup, I moved to the prepared single room.
"Brother-in-law."
"Yeah?"
"You wander around alone without a secretary? You're checking in—why didn't anyone come with you?"
"I said I'd handle it solo. My secretaries are busy."
"You always had Brother Gi-woo with you before."
She must've been close to Kim Gi-woo too.
"Just resting. No need to bother them."
"I see."
Yoon Ha-rin moved.
"I'll give you some vitamins and nutrients via IV."
"Thanks."
"No need to thank me. It's my job."
She inserted the needle in my hand and adjusted the drip.
"Get some rest now."
Yoon Ha-rin turned to leave.
Gulp-
'Were nurse uniforms always that sexy?'
Her short skirt revealed pure white thighs that looked incredibly erotic.
Firm from consistent workouts.
"Ha-rin, wait."
"Yes?"
"You're my dedicated nurse today."
"Yeah... but. Why?"
"After everyone clocks out, come here."
"Why...?"
"I'll order your favorite pig's feet. We can catch up too."
"I have... a lot of work. Night shift."
"Got the director's okay. You're my dedicated, so it'll be fine."
"..."
"What? Don't like pig's feet anymore? Preferences changed? Chicken or pizza instead?"
"N-No. I love pig's feet. Whew. Okay. I'll come after 10."
Yoon Ha-rin left.
"Can't wait."
She was even more attractive than I'd imagined.
A nurse stirring up male fantasies, no less.
"Anyone would fantasize."
About spending a steamy night in the hospital room with a pretty nurse.
Common porn trope.
Pat pat-
"You're in for a treat today."
I touched my dick.
It was half-hard just thinking about it.
"Hornier than Yoon So-yoon."
Yoon So-yoon was stunning too.
But Yoon Ha-rin's personality made her way hotter.
I took a nap first.
Woke up to dinner arriving.
"Enjoy, brother-in-law."
Yoon Ha-rin delivered it and left again.
Hospital food, but not bad.
Finished eating, lay back, and used my search ability.
⚙ AI SEARCH SYSTEM ⚙ [What is Nurse Jo Kyung-hee doing right now? Also tell me her psychological state.] Nurse Jo Kyung-hee has been caught not only bullying but also diverting medications. She's been summoned to the director's office and is getting severely reprimanded. She's under intense pressure to resign right now. Her mind is a mess of terror ("Is this the end?"), rage, embarrassment over her exposed misdeeds. Fear of losing everything she's built, plus dread of legal punishment. "Serves her right."
Why bully good people?
I just couldn't tolerate that.
"Gotta tell Ha-rin when she comes."
I ordered pig's feet first.
Yoon Ha-rin's favorites, per search.
Soon after.
Yoon Ha-rin arrived at the room with the delivered pig's feet.
Looks delicious.
Not the pig's feet—Yoon Ha-rin.
