Chapter 2 The Doctor
"Lord Choi, the foreign doctor you asked for is here, should we let him enter?" a servant asked as she entered Yeon Woo's office. He looked up from his papers and nodded, as the servant went away, he stood up and went to the window, he opened it a little to see his guest.
The tall and slender figure of the doctor stood near the door of his quarters, Yeon Woo took his time to examine him, he had bright blue eyes, black hair and he was quite pale as well, the servant opened the door and the doctor entered.
"Doesn't he have an interpreter?" Yeon Woo asked, his servant looked at him a little perplexed
"I've been here for several years sir, I'm doing my best to learn your language... but I hope you will forgive me for any mistakes... just in case I might sound mean..." the doctor said bowing.
Yeon Woo came a little closer to his guest and looked at him curious.
"You have a strange accent... the other foreigners tend to sound differently... where are you from?" Yeon Woo asked
"Vienna sir, Austria... I suppose that you usually met American or English people" the guest responded smiling.
"Yeah... well, I don't see why we should waste time, let's proceed with the examination" Yeon Woo replied sighing.
"Sure, please sit down and open your eyes"
Yeon Woo sat down and looked at the tools his guest was placing on his table. The doctor then came closer to the young nobleman and for several minutes examined his eyes. He shook his head a few times and he eventually got up again to put his tools back into his bag.
"So? Doctor what do you think? What should I do?" Yeon Woo asked irritated
"I'm really sorry sir but there's nothing I can do with it..."
"What?" Yeon Woo exclaimed
"I must admit that it is quite widespread among the people of the Joseon... I don't know why... I heard about that strange tale about the king and all... and I think that it's funny how it seems to work" the doctor said chuckling.
"Sir, I paid you to come here and solve my problem, not to make fun of a stupid legend!"
"I apologize sir... I didn't mean to offend you or anything else... but there is really nothing I can do" the doctor said and left the room.
Yeon Woo went back to his desk and sighed watching his guest reaching the gate of his mansion. His uncle suddenly entered the room, Yeon Woo stood up and went to her
"Where are you going uncle? Is it another party or something different this time? And do you really have to put those... clothes? What would have your sister said?" Yeon Woo said smiling
"Oh come on, try to have fun sometimes, and just so you know... it isn't a party this time, it is a concert, and I'm quite sure that you would love it, you even have a nice suit as well..."
"You bought it but I will never wear that thing... it is so... uncomfortable..." Yeon Woo remarked
"Do whatever you want, I'm going, see you later then dear" she said and waved at him
"What... wait, what kind of concert is it?"
"Someone is curious here..." she said chuckling
"Goodbye" Yeon Woo responded and turned
"No wait, it is a young guy... a pianist, he studied in Paris or I don't know.. everyone says that he's amazing" she replied
"Fine... give me a few minutes... I will come to see this genius..." Yeon Woo said with an ironic tone.
