EP.163 The Doctor’s Heart

Having completely cleared my name, I was scolding the doctor for the method she used to get me out.

“You used the headquarters’ name to get me out…? Why did you do that?”

“I had no choice. It would have taken forever to prove your innocence from scratch. I handled it well, so don’t worry.”

“What do you mean by ‘handled it well’?”

“I worded it carefully so that you wouldn’t be associated with the lab. You’re just an innocent civilian framed by the governor. They’ll never know you were part of the lab.”

“Even so… strictly speaking, this is an abuse of power. I told you not to do it.”

“I had to protect you. Let’s end this conversation here. Don’t say anymore.”

She was unusually firm, unlike her usual obedient self.

It seemed her feelings had changed drastically.

And rightfully so. She heard rumors about a technology leak, went to investigate, and found the lab’s cluster bombs there, with five governors involved.

And then her beloved me ended up in prison, suffering, and even got involved with drugs.

High-ranking officials were corrupt, trying to overthrow the U.S., and the prison guards, who should’ve managed the inmates properly, were indifferent.

They even extorted prisoners to line their own pockets.

If she wasn’t furious about all this, it would’ve been strange.

What was the point of trying so hard to protect the world if it led to this? She must’ve felt a sense of despair.

“Alright…”

I trailed off, scrunching my nose.

The doctor then frowned and spoke.

“As soon as we get back, get into the medical device. We need to remove the remaining drug components from your body. We also need to normalize your dopamine levels and properly repair the damaged veins.”

“No. I’m fine.”

“You’re not fine.”

“I’m not going in.”

“Song Jihyuk! Listen to me!”

The doctor yelled sharply.

I pouted like a child and stared out the plane window.

The doctor sighed deeply, looking at me, then tried to persuade me in a gentle tone.

“Jihyuk… why don’t you want to get treated? It’s good to be healthy, isn’t it?”

“I said I’m fine.”

“Do you want to die young like my husband?”

She even brought up her husband’s death? This is getting interesting.

“Your husband didn’t die from drugs. That’s the wrong comparison.”

“Alright, then I’ll change the question. Do you want to die young?”

“No.”

“Right? So just go in and come out. It’s not like it’s painful.”

“…..”

“The drugs weren’t your choice. You just… did it out of frustration because they pushed you when you were vulnerable. Am I wrong?”

“I don’t know… I don’t know. Let’s stop talking about this. My head hurts.”

The doctor clenched her fist.

She glared at me with a terrifying look.

She must’ve been resenting the prison guards and inmates who put me in this state.

After a while, the doctor shook her head.

“Fine. But we’ll talk about this again when we get back.”

“I told you not to. I already said I don’t want to hear about it.”

“…. Then I’ll just say this. I believe you’ll make the right choice because you’re strong.”

Of course, I will. I’m just saying this, but I’ll obediently get into the medical device and receive treatment.

Right after being released, when I returned to a human body, the withdrawal symptoms were unbearable.

I could endure it as the Demon King’s body, but now I have to meet Silvia and Adeline, and I can’t go in that state.

Though my body will be treated, my mind will still crave pleasure.

I rested my chin on the window frame as a response.

I didn’t want to continue the conversation.

Glancing over, I saw tears welling up in the doctor’s eyes.

But she didn’t cry. She probably thought she needed to remain composed, especially at times like this.

**

Pushik-!

After several treatments, my body returned to normal, and I sat on the medical device, pressing my head.

The doctor approached me, looking proud.

“The treatment is done. Thanks for being obedient.”

“Mm…”

“Let’s go home and rest.”

“No. I need to go to the company.”

“Why the company?”

“I’ve been away for a long time. There must be a lot of work piled up, so I need to go.”

“You can take it slow. Let’s just rest today, okay?”

I reluctantly agreed to the doctor’s suggestion.

As I got off the device, I felt dizzy and stumbled, collapsing onto the floor.

It happened so fast that the doctor didn’t even have time to catch me.

She held my head as I groaned, trying to get up, and gently stroked the back of my neck.

“It’s okay. Stay like this. Was it really hard?”

It’s just dizziness… but she’s giving it meaning? Fine by me.

“…..”

“I’ll be by your side. Let’s stay strong together. I love you, Jihyuk…”

I nodded, tightly holding the doctor’s waist.

“Let’s go home… I don’t think I can go to the company in this state.”

“Let’s do that. Good thinking.”

And so, we returned to the doctor’s house.

As soon as we got home, I filled the bathtub and sank into it, letting out a relaxed sigh.

The mission in the U.S. was successful. Shaking the doctor’s convictions was a big win.

Things in Korea should go smoothly too, right? While I was in the U.S., Chae Boyeong’s manager should’ve set up an agency.

Stella should be part of it.

Since I haven’t received any urgent calls from Chae Boyeong or Marcella, it seems things were resolved well, but I’d feel better seeing it with my own eyes.

Finally, I’ll get to see Stella. Did she come with her younger sibling? Or alone?

“Jihyuk.”

While staring at the ceiling, lost in thought, I snapped back to reality when the doctor called me cautiously.

“What?”

“Can I come in?”

“Come in.”

With that, the doctor entered the bathtub, naked.

She sat comfortably between my spread legs and spoke.

“Even if you resent me, I understand. I’m really sorry.”

“For what?”

“We only needed to worry about demons and Tairat, but I meddled unnecessarily…”

“We couldn’t ignore it. It was technology leaked from our lab. We had no choice.”

The doctor shook her head.

“No. If I had been more decisive… if I had used my power as soon as you were captured, you might not have gone to prison. You were considerate of my indecisiveness, and this is what happened. I…”

She choked up, swallowing hard, and tried to continue while looking straight into my eyes.

But I shook my head, cutting her off.

“I’ll never resent you, no matter what happens. So don’t dwell on it.”

“…..”

“Should we shower first?”

“Ah, alright…”

**

That early morning.

I woke up to rustling sounds and sat up.

Beside me, the doctor, who had been sleeping in a shrimp-like position, pretended to still be asleep.

“What are you doing?”

“…..”

She pretended not to hear, starting to breathe softly.

I could tell she was masturbating.

It’s been a while since we’ve been together, and now that we’re in a safe place, her desires must’ve surged.

Seeing her comforting herself made me laugh.

She probably feels too guilty to initiate with me, but she wants to relieve her desires… right?

I quietly climbed on top of her, resting my chin on her plump chest, and spoke softly.

“Wake up. You weren’t sleeping.”

“…..”

The doctor still didn’t respond.

But…

“Hah…”

When I moved my hand to her pussy and gently rubbed, she let out a soft moan.

I chuckled, waving my slightly wet fingers in front of her face.

“You’ve been at it for a while… you’re already wet.”

Finally, the doctor opened her eyes, looking embarrassed.

“Sorry… I couldn’t help it…”

“If you wanted to, you should’ve woken me.”

“How could I… you were sleeping so soundly…”

Without a word, I moved down and pressed my groin against her thigh, gently rubbing.

The doctor’s breathing grew heavier.

She must’ve felt my erection.

“Huu…”

“Doctor.”

“What…”

“Should I put it in?”

“…. You don’t have to…”

“Really? Alright.”

I immediately got off her and turned my back.

Moments later, the doctor pressed her body against my back.

I felt the soft, plump sensation near my spine.

Then, her slender hand wrapped around my cock.

She lightly tapped the tip with her fingers, teasing me, and spoke.

“I… want it…”

“You said it’s fine without it.”

“No… I was just saying that…”

“Make up your mind. You’re being annoying.”

At that, she gently pressed her fingernail into the tip of my urethra.

A mix of pleasure and a slight sting.

Her silent resistance was adorable.

She held my cock, shaking it a few times, or gently scratching my balls, pleading desperately.

“Put it in… okay?”

I removed her hand from my cock and turned around.

With a serious expression, I looked at her gloomy face and spoke.

“Doctor.”

“Yes…”

“Why were you infertile?”

I expected her to stay silent on such a sudden and sensitive topic, but she answered immediately.

“My ovarian function wasn’t great…”

“That’s weird? Last time you had a cold, I checked your condition with the medical device. There was nothing wrong.”

“It might’ve been congenital, so it was recognized as normal. I don’t really know…”

“Did you want to get pregnant?”

“Well…”

The doctor hesitated.

She seemed worried I might get angry.

I gently stroked her short hair without saying a word.

Seeing my calm expression, she seemed reassured and confessed after a pause.

“I did want to…”

“That’s a relief for me.”

“A relief… why?”

“If you had gotten pregnant back then, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“Yeah… I think so too.”

What I said was quite sensitive.

Enough to poke at her trauma.

Think about it, telling an infertile woman who wanted a child that it’s a good thing she didn’t have one.

Who wouldn’t get angry?

But the doctor agreed.

Without hesitation. She truly believed meeting me was a blessing.

“Do you still love your husband?”

“Well… yes. But I love you more.”

“More than when you were with your husband?”

“Maybe… I think so.”

“Maybe?”

“No, definitely. I’ve never been as happy as I am now.”

“You cried a lot because of me. Got really angry too.”

“That’s how much I love you.”

“Then, if you could meet your husband again, would you choose him over me?”

The doctor gasped.

It seemed she had never thought about it.

“Ji, Jihyuk… why…”

I didn’t answer and got up from the bed, heading to the utility room.

I brought back the doctor’s wedding photo with Edward.

Then, I turned on the room’s light, showed her the photo, and asked again.

“Who would you choose?”

“…..”

“If you choose your husband now, I won’t get angry. I’ll just work harder. So please answer honestly.”

“I…”

“I just want to know how you feel right now, in this moment.”

The doctor’s eyes narrowed.

Her hesitation didn’t last long.

She reached out, grabbed my wrist, and confessed.

“Like I said earlier, I love you more. I can’t live without you.”

That wasn’t just empty comfort.

Her eyes were filled with sincerity.

The scales in her heart have tipped.

Now, it’s time to break them.

Satisfied with her answer, I pushed her shoulders, making her lie back on the bed.
