Level Up Doctor - Chapter 300
Impossible (2)
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Even though I knocked, there was no response.
“Professor. Professor.”
Choi Ki-seok called out Katarina and knocked a little harder on the door. Then the door opened and Katarina with long hair appeared.
Her eyes were slightly glassy and she seemed to be having trouble keeping herself together.
She too was a victim of somaek.
“Mr. Choi?”
“You were in your room. I came to you because I was worried because I couldn’t contact you.”
“Sorry. I just woke up.”
“What would you like for breakfast?”
“let’s eat together.”
“Then wash up and come to the restaurant. Have some before that.”
Katarina took the drink offered by Choi Ki-seok and made a puzzled expression.
The response was Charles and Decalcomani.
“It’s a hangover drink. Drinking it will help.”
“thank you.”
After a while, the three people gathered in the hotel restaurant.
Except for Choi Ki-seok, the other two still seemed to be in poor condition.
“The symposium is tomorrow, so you can rest until today. Have you thought about your schedule?”
“I was already going to tell you that.”
Choi Ki-seok paused before continuing.
“I have come to Korea for the first time in a long time and there are people I want to meet… Can I act individually today? Please be shameless and ask.”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with. Instead, avoid taking action to attend the symposium tomorrow.”
“thank you.”
“I’m planning to finish my thesis at the hotel, but what about Charles?”
“I’m… planning to do some more sightseeing in Korea. There are a few places I’d like to stop by, including Sauron Tower.”
“Yes. Charles, think of it as a vacation and rest well.”
Schedule coordination ended with breakfast.
After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Choi Ki-seok left the hotel and caught a taxi.
After running for nearly 30 minutes, we arrived at a residential area in Oryu-dong.
I fumbled with the address I wrote down on my phone and stopped in front of a house.
Ding dong!
“who are you?”
“This is Choi Ki-seok.”
“Huh? I’m a teacher. Come in!”
My ears stung from the other person’s loud voice, but I laughed it off.
As he entered through the open door and stood in the entrance, Kim Doo-jin and Lim Jin-hee greeted him warmly. In particular, Kim Doo-jin ran up to him with great strides and even fell into his arms.
“Teacher! I missed you.”
“Wow! Our Dujin has grown taller without me even noticing him? He’ll catch up to you soon, right?”
“Not to that extent.”
“I heard the story. You visited Korea for a while for a conference and decided to learn piano from Dujin?”
Jinhee Lim, who had been quiet, joined the conversation.
“Oh yes. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Don’t say things like that. Teacher Choi is our family’s benefactor, no matter what anyone says. If you need help, please let me know at any time.”
“I just want to say thank you.”
“Now let’s go to our room.”
As Kim Doo-jin pulled his hand, Choi Ki-seok followed him into a small room.
Kim Doo-jin’s room was simple, but it was full of passion for the piano. There was a large piano in one corner of the room, and all around it were piano-related books.
Even after wiping my eyes, I couldn’t find any places for children my age to play.
Soon, Choi Ki-seok and Kim Doo-jin sat on the piano chair and stared at each other.
“Teacher. Have you ever played the piano?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Well, I guess all I had to do to become a doctor was study.”
Kim Doo-jin smiled and continued.
“First of all, you are learning piano because of your girlfriend. I prepared a song that is relatively easy to play and has a sweet melody.”
“Thank you for choosing a good song. Just a moment.”
[You have used the Dragon’s Eye skill. Automatically provides optimal surgical field of view.]
[Start recording in video mode. You can use zoom-in mode, zoom-out mode, and three-dimensional mode as needed.]
After using the skill, Ki-Seok Choi stared at the piano.
It is realistically impossible to practice playing while training in a hospital. There were still a lot of things to learn and I didn’t know when and under what circumstances an emergency patient would arise.
The biggest problem is that there is no environment for practice.
So, after much thought, this is the shortcut I came up with.
If this method works, wouldn’t we be able to give Jeong Seol-hwa a wonderful event at least within this year?
“Why? Are you nervous standing in front of the piano?”
“I guess so.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. You save dying people every day. This is nothing.”
“Our Dujin has grown up a lot. He also comforts the teacher.”
“People who make music usually have a big heart.”
Kim Doo-jin smiled brightly and placed his hand on the keyboard.
Doo doo doo doo doo. Tiririririn.
After the disorderly hand-wringing, the full-fledged performance began.
Eventually, Kim Doo-jin’s childlike appearance disappeared and his appearance as a genius pianist was revealed.
His fingers fluttered on the keyboard, and his delicate body danced in the flow of the melody.
As I saw in previous concerts, Kim Doo-jin was playing with his whole body.
Follow me. Ddan dan dan.
When I closed my eyes and focused on the music, it felt like I was in a garden with brightly blooming flowers.
My heart warmed and a smile automatically appeared on my face.
Choi Ki-seok was sure.
If Jeong Seol-hwa hears this performance, hearts will pour out of her eyes.
“how is it?”
Kim Doo-jin, who finished playing, looked at Choi Ki-seok.
“Isn’t it amazing? As long as I can play, I don’t want anything more.”
“I’m glad to hear that you like it, teacher. The title of this song is Spring Breeze. The chorus isn’t difficult to play, so it’s a song that challenges me a lot. If the teacher can take lessons on a regular basis, he can teach me quickly….” “It’s okay. The rest is okay.
” “The teacher will take care of it.”
Choi Ki-seok placed his hand on Kim Doo-jin’s shoulder.
“Now, teacher, try playing the keyboard. First, would you like to try ringing the school bell? Do you know the name of the key?”
“of course.”
Choi Ki-seok rang the school bell with one hand.
Although it was my first time hitting the keys in decades, my hands moved surprisingly naturally. I didn’t hit the keys stutteringly, but I hit them so that the notes connected.
“you are doing well.”
“Hmm… I don’t think it’s worthy of praise.”
“They say compliments make even whales dance.”
“Are you a whale, teacher?”
Kim Du-jin widened his eyes and opened his mouth at Choi Ki-seok’s joke.
He looked like the main character in a drama who had discovered the secret of his birth.
Was this gag really that bad?
“Let’s pretend we didn’t hear what we just said and play with both hands.”
“Yes. It’s a very basic song for those who learned piano, but it may be a little difficult for the teacher. Do you know how to read sheet music?”
“know.”
“Then start slowly. First of all, don’t try to do it quickly from the beginning. You will get used to it little by little once you get the feeling of inserting the chuimsae with your left hand.”
“Here we go.”
Choi Ki-seok finally started playing with both hands, and Kim Doo-jin watched Choi Ki-seok with his arms crossed.
‘What is this?’
Kim Doo-jin’s face turned into a crumpled piece of paper.
Ki-Seok Choi has never learned to play the piano. But playing with both hands felt so natural.
The left-hand performance was so clean that it was meaningless to say to help with the left hand.
In fact, it is very difficult to make different movements between the right and left hands.
This is because confusion occurs when the brain processes information.
However, Choi Ki-seok is freely using both hands.
It made me wonder if he might have been hiding his playing talent all this time.
“Whew… It’s harder than I thought. It takes twice as much effort to play while looking at the sheet music.”
After finishing playing, Choi Ki-seok sighed.
“Teacher, please be honest.”
“what?”
“Is this really your first time playing the piano?”
“Of course. Why would a teacher lie to you?”
“…It’s strange. This is my first time playing with both hands. How can this happen? Are you a piano genius?”
“You learn pretty quickly, right?”
A faint smile appeared on Choi Ki-seok’s lips.
The reason why he, a piano beginner, finished playing with relative ease.
That’s thanks to his ambidextrous skills.
Ambidextrous skills developed through surgery and suturing practice also have an impact on daily life. So, when I was an intern at Uijin University, I successfully juggled and won a prize.
“I’ll increase the difficulty level a little.”
“good.”
His second two-hand performance began.
Choi Ki-seok received a passing grade from Kim Doo-jin this time.
“Wow. I really feel like I’m possessed by a ghost. If I just memorize the score and learn a few techniques, my skills will improve quickly.”
“….”
“Teacher. You’re not going to quit being a doctor and play the piano, are you?”
“Why? Let’s see?”
“No. I don’t want our rivals to increase.”
The two people joked and burst into laughter.
After that, practice continued for about two hours.
Kim Doo-jin taught him some playing techniques and helped him develop bad habits, while Choi Ki-seok concentrated on the lessons.
Now I wanted to return the love I had received from Seolhwa Jeong.
As I thought about her being moved by the performance, my fighting power grew.
“Then I will leave now. Dujin. Thank you for teaching me well.”
Choi Ki-seok stood at the entrance and said goodbye to Kim Du-jin and Lim Jin-hee.
“Yes. It was nice to see you after a long time. Please visit me anytime.”
“Please contact me if you have any problems.”
“Okay. See you later.”
After leaving the house, he headed to the playground he had seen on the way. Then I sat down on the swing and quickly opened the status window.
There was something I wanted to check before returning to the hotel.
[You have entered the training room (number of entries: 1/8)]
[You have chosen Kim Doo-jin’s piano lessons due to surgery. Even if the shooting video is not a surgery, the actual special effects are applied.]
[PVP mode can be switched.]
Whiiiiing.
A dazzling light emitted and the space where he was sitting changed.
That is Kim Doo-jin’s room where he was just moments ago.
The moment his imagination came true, Choi Ki-seok raised his hands in joy.
If this happens, you can practice piano even in the hospital.
This means that the time to give an event to Jeong Seol-hwa can be brought forward.
Ki-seok Choi immediately began practicing on the spot, telling him to remove the bull’s horn.
Right at that moment.
There was a mother and daughter passing by the playground…
“Mom, why is that guy like that?”
The girl who was holding her mother’s hand trembled as she pointed at Choi Ki-seok.
“Close your eyes and wave your hands in the air.”
“He looks fine on the outside… but I guess he’s crazy.”
“crazy person?”
“I’m talking about people who are not in their right mind. You always have to be careful because people like that don’t know what they might do.”
As the mother twirled her index finger near his temple, the child nodded as if he understood.
“But Mom, why is that guy crazy?”
“My mom doesn’t know the details, but maybe she did it because life was difficult? Tsk tsk tsk. Why did she end up like that at such a young age? If my parents had seen me like that, they would have been heartbroken…”
“Mom. I won’t be like that guy. And I will definitely become a great doctor later.”
“Yes. Our Hye-jin can do it well. If you become a doctor, you have to treat sick people like that well?” ”
Yes!”
The mother and daughter looked at Choi Ki-seok one more time as if pitying them and went on their way.
