Hey everyone! So first thanks for going on this Playful Kiss ride. I know it was different than my Seoul Couple but I actually loved writing it. So they may be a part of my rotation too. Anyway here is the last chapter and I am working on the Protective Four Wedding one-shot. Look for it probably sometime next week. But until then I hope you enjoy the conclusion of the Hospital room meets the husband! Let me know if you do :-)

Everyone jumped at the sound of a door slamming against the wall. The nurses gasped in shock as they took in Baek Seung Jo storming down the hall of the hospital. Partly because he was wearing sweats instead of a suit and white coat but mostly because of the expression on his face. It was alive with rage and his body was vibrating like a tuning fork. "Dr. Baek," a flirty nurse called out but he ignored her until she continued eagerly, "I heard Nurse Baek left without permission last night. How embarrassing for you. I don't know why they keep her. I am so upset for you."

Baek Seung Jo stopped abruptly, his blood boiling imagining Ha Ni hearing those comments daily. He whirled around and the nurse froze, "I just meant- "

"I wouldn't draw attention to embarrassing situations since Nurse Baek is the one who stopped you from killing your young patient last month when you tried to give them the wrong medication because you couldn't be bothered to read their chart."

Nurse Lao flushed but he continued angrily, "I had planned to bring you up to the board but Ha Ni convinced me to give you a second chance. However, it seems you don't appreciate her level of professionalism. So, I will be moving forward with my original intent. Especially if I find out you are the one responsible for all the derogatory insults about my wife, then I will ensure you will never work in the medical field again." He tilted his head to read her name badge, "Also, don't concern yourself about me since I already have a woman for that job and I have never even bothered to remember your name… And I have a photographic memory."

Baek Seung Jo strolled away from her gaping face without another word. Everyone at the desk stood in embarrassed silence until Nurse Dae who had walked in few minutes prior spoke harshly, "I have warned you all about this. He loves his wife and abusing her is not going to get his attention. He is a married man," she stressed pointedly.

"But why her?" Nurse Lao whined which made Hyeon Su roll her eyes. "Stop acting like a fifteen-year-old brat. You are a grown woman who has attacked a nurse who is better than all of you simply because she has an attractive husband." Dae Hyeon Su almost felt like stamping her foot, "Nurse Baek has been nothing but nice to you and you don't even care that she collapsed last night." Everyone looked at the ground ashamed except for Nurse Lao who was still upset about the put down from Baek Seung Jo. Nurse Dae straightened her shoulders, "Now if you will excuse me. I have a feeling I will be needed soon to help put Doctor Choi's limbs back together."

Baek Seung Jo saw him chatting away and not bothering to take notice of the other man, he grabbed his collar and threw him into the wall behind him. He raised his fist and planted it into his face repeatedly until he heard the satisfactory crunch of bone. There were cries of alarm and two orderlies rushed forward to pull him off Doctor Choi who crumbled into the wall with a moan. "My wife is not for sale you arrogant bastard." Baek Seung Jo snarled, "ask me again for a night with her. See what happens."

"What is going on here?" Chairman Soon roared while Baek Seung Jo struggled against the two men holding onto him. "Doctor Baek, how dare you come in here and attack a fellow colleague. If you are upset about Nurse Baek's behavior last night- "

"My wife is home about dead." Seung Jo broke in hotly, "because he has worked her past regulations and then tried to accost her last night."

Chairman Soon looked at him surprise which quickly turned to suspicion, "I seriously doubt that. Nurse Baek is probably making up a story to avoid getting into trouble."

"It's true sir." Nurse Dae quickly intervened seeing that Baek Seung Jo was about to say something which would destroy his career. "Baek Ha Ni has been working nonstop for the past three months. Then Doctor Choi forced her to work back to back twenty-four shifts with no breaks or anything. That is why she was so sluggish last night and had me double check her work. She wanted to make sure she didn't do anything to hurt her patients because she was half-asleep. After she almost fainted, he pulled her into the office and made a proposition which frightened her."

Chairman Soon frowned and turned to Choi Yin Jung who was glaring daggers at Nurse Dae. "I told you that twenty-four shifts needed to switch to once a month for nurse safety."

"Once a month?" Baek Seung Jo demanded and turned to Hyeon Su for confirmation who gave him a small nod. "Yesterday was my first overnight in almost three and half weeks."

He gave another yell and tried to rush at Doctor Choi but was once more intercepted, "You have scheduled my wife for an overnight once a week! Not to mention all her other days. She has not been home in months. You have been trying to kill her."

"No," Yin Jung straightened, holding his nose which was bleeding heavily. "But Nurse Baek needs more training. Frankly, I am not sure how she passed her exam. I was honestly trying to help her."

"You trying to hurt her so you could get her alone." Baek Seung Jo growled and the Chairman stepped in front of him. "Do you have any proof of these accusations?"

"I had security pull up last night's footage." Hyeon Su said, "it shows most of what we are telling you."

"I will not have my reputation smeared this way." Doctor Choi snapped but Soon Mao Won held up his hand. "Quiet. I will look at the tape and go from there."

"I want to see it too," Seung Jo told them and Nurse Dae grimaced. "You won't like it. It shows him screaming at her and when she almost fainted."

"I am watching." Baek Seung Jo said in a tone that didn't leave any room for argument. Fifteen minutes later, security was barring the door so he couldn't go commit cold-blooded murder. Even Chairman Soon felt bad for Nurse Baek after viewing what happened. It clearly showed an utterly exhausted Baek Ha Ni scrambling around doing her work. Every time she stopped to catch her breath at the desk in between rounds, Choi Yin Jung would barrel up and yell at her.

Although they did not have any audio, you could see his furious rage and the look of fear on Nurse Baek. This went on until they got to the worst part of the footage when Ha Ni raced to the trash can and vomited. Her hands were noticeably shaking and Nurse Dae was holding back her hair.

When Ha Ni finished, she tried to move but her legs gave out from under her and she crumbled to the floor like a rag doll. A flustered Dae Hyeon Su helped her up and rushed off to get water. Doctor Choi arrived on the scene and roughly yanked her to her feet. She stumbled at the force and as she fell forward, he stuck his foot out. If Ha Ni had not been able to catch herself on the counter, she would have fallen and severely hurt herself by either cracking her head or breaking a leg by the angle of his kick.

This was the point where Baek Seung Jo felt a vein pop and flung his chair back angrily. "I will move Doctor Choi from this ward," Chairman Soon told him calmly halting his actions. "I don't see evidence to cause him to lose his job but it is obvious he should no longer work with Nurse Baek."

"He put his hands on my wife." Baek Seung Jo said furiously. "What more evidence do you need? How can you let him stay here?"

"Hospital politics are not much different than normal politics. He has done a lot for this hospital in his career so he is a necessary asset to us. Although, I will admit he does seem to have a strange reaction to your wife."

"Strange reaction?" Seung Jo felt like shaking him. "He sexually threatened her."

Soon Mao Won shook his head, "We don't have any proof of that. All we see is him calling her into the office and her leaving a few minutes later."

"Ha Ni told me," Baek Seung Jo said through gritted teeth. "Not to mention his implications to me about helping my career in exchange for her."

"Unfortunately, I cannot take the word of Nurse Baek over Doctor Choi who has been a member of my staff for over eleven years. Also, he did speak to me about advancing your career. He is quite impressed with you so I am assuming you just misunderstood his intentions." Chairman Soon clapped him on the shoulder, "Although after you assaulted him today, he may not be so keen. I will talk to him and let him know since the tape shows him being rough with Nurse Baek, he should let this afternoon with you go."

Baek Seung Jo stared at him in shock, "I will not allow my wife to work in an environment where I am not convinced of her safety."

"She's safe. I think you are overreacting but it's understandable for a new husband." Chairman Soon said smoothly. "Tell Nurse Baek to take off as much time as she needs to recuperate. I will move Choi Yin Jung from pediatrics to avoid future incidents between the two of them. Now," He clapped his hands. "I know our original meeting is not scheduled until Friday but since I am already here, would you like to discuss your presentation?"

Baek Seung quickly hid his rage behind the well-practiced cold mask. "No, thank you. I should go home and make sure Nurse Baek is recovering. I will pass along your message that her job is secure and Doctor Choi will be moved."

Soon Mao Won nodded not noticing how irate his rising star of the hospital truly was. "Very good. I will see you Friday then. Just send Baek Ha Ni back to work when she feels ready."

He strolled out casually and Baek Seung Jo sat down heavily in the chair. His head was pounding and his fist were clenched at his side.

"This is the best you are going to get." Nurse Baek interjected sadly, "At least he will no longer be around Ha Ni and she can get some sanity back into her schedule."

"If this had happened to anyone else, would they have just brushed it aside so easily?" Seung Jo demanded and she sighed. "Probably not. They would have investigated more but Baek Ha Ni's poor academic record and marriage to you automatically put her at a disadvantage to be mistreated. It is a shame because she really is one of our better nurses. The children adore her and she is great at correctly identifying what their symptoms mean even before we get the test results."

For the first time in his life Baek Seung Jo felt helpless. Nurse Dae gave him a small smile, "It's frustrating but Ha Ni handles it well. Be proud of her and chalk today up as a disappointing victory."

He shook his head but was interrupted by his phone going off. "Mom?"

"Ha Ni is awake." Geum Hee rushed to tell him. "Her fever is gone but she still doesn't look good Baek Seung Jo."

"I am on my way." He told her scrambling up. He looked back at Nurse Dae. "Thank you."

She nodded and watched in trepidation as he hurried away. She sincerely hoped Ha Ni was all right because there was no doubt her husband obviously adored her.

Baek Seung Jo opened the bedroom door where Ha Ni lay curled up into a ball. She sent him a small smile as Geum Hee moved away from the bed. "She was able to keep some water down but I have not tried to give her food yet."

He nodded at the hushed update while his mother quietly slipped away. "How are you feeling?"

"Better," Ha Ni said. "I can think more clearly." He kissed her gently and she spotted the angry tension in his body language. "Are you okay?"

"I want you to find a new job." Baek Seung Jo snapped and her breathing hitched. "What?"

"I don't want you working at the hospital anymore." He strolled away and began moving around the room in a thoughtful stride. "We can get you hired on somewhere else. Somewhere where they don't connect you to me and will treat you like a human being. Then once I effectively destroy Doctors Choi's career, I will quit as well."

Ha Ni's eyes widened as big as saucers, "Baek Seung Jo, what are you talking about?"

"I saw the security footage Ha Ni," He growled still pacing around their bedroom. "Even Chairman Soon saw it. The only thing they are going to do about Choi Yin Jung is to transfer him from pediatrics."

"Really?" Ha Ni relaxed against her pillows, "That is a relief."

He stopped and glared at her. "That is not a relief Ha Ni. You were attacked last night and they implied you were just being dramatic. I am not going to allow you- "

"I can't quit Baek Seung Jo." Ha Ni interrupted quietly and his face grew stormy. "This is not up for debate. This is not about you being a snail who won't stop on her way to the ark or whatever story your dad told us."

"It is not about that," Ha Ni told him. "No other hospital will hire me. My academic past is not good enough."

"What do you mean?" Baek Seung Jo questioned confused, "By the time you graduated your grades were fine."

"Fine," Ha Ni pointed out. "Not great and despite the fact I have learned and grown a great deal as a nurse, hospitals only care about what is on paper."

He cursed and began pacing again. She took in the physical anger coming from her husband and knew he was on the verge of losing it. Ha Ni climbed slowly out of bed and grabbed him. "Baek Seung Jo, look at me." He tried to push past her but she stopped him, forcing him to meet her gaze. "Honey, stop for a minute."

Seung Jo paused at the endearment, his eyes still wild but at least he was looking at her. "I am okay." She whispered. "He didn't hurt me."

"He tried- "

"But he didn't," She assured him. "You came before he could." Seung Jo didn't look comforted by this and tried to break away but she held on to him. "Talk to me. Please."

"He asked me for you." Baek Seung Jo snarled. "He actually thought I cared more about my career and would allow him to touch you for advancement."

Ha Ni sucked in a breath feeling stunned. It took her a minute to recover but her stomach dropped when she realized he was blaming himself for it. "That is not your fault Seung Jo."

He hugged her tightly, breathing heavily. "He thought I would be okay with it." Seung Jo finally said. "Somehow I have given the impression that you were- "

"The only impression you have given is that you are a doctor who cares about his job." Ha Ni said firmly. "I am your wife and I know you love me. You shouldn't have to prove it at work so creeps won't come onto me. You can't blame yourself for this Baek Seung Jo."

He let her words sink in before he finally relented with a kiss. "You are not going back to work until I say. I want you to take some time off and get your health back."

Ha Ni nodded knowing her body had become incredibly weak. "And," he continued," not until I am certain Doctor Choi has been moved. Then I need to make some things clear to the staff about their treatment of you."

"I don't care what the others say about me." She told him softly but Seung Jo shook his head with a scowl. "I do. This talking behind your back and spreading rumors stops now."

"Okay." Ha Ni finally relented. "I want you to present your thesis to the Chairman though. Don't worry about me or my career to the point of sacrificing yours."

Baek Seung Jo stared at her and realized for the first time how much she had always stepped aside for him. All Ha Ni ever asked from him was to let her love him. He doubted she really understood how much he loved her back since words had never been his strong suit.

"You are the most important thing to me." Baek Seung Jo whispered and Ha Ni looked stunned which made his guilt increase. He really needed to work on telling her more. "Last night scared me. When I picked you up at the hospital and saw you…"

"I'm sorry." Ha Ni said tearfully. "I didn't mean to worry you."

"I wasn't worried. I was terrified. You looked like death and I couldn't get your fever down." Seung Jo laid his forehead against hers, "I can't lose you Baek Ha Ni, so don't ever scare me like that again."

"This isn't fair." She cried. "You are saying all these sweet things which makes me want to kiss you until you can't breathe but I am too tired."

He chuckled and scooped her back to the bed. "How about I kiss you then?"

She cupped his face and brought him down to her. His lips were gentle but firm as he pressed her back into the mattress. He kissed her relentlessly not stopping to let her think or even take a breath. His hands burning hotly over her skin. Just when Ha Ni was beginning to feel lightheaded he pulled away with a groan. "You are sick. I need to get you well first."

At the low whine from the back of her throat, his resolve almost went out the window. It had been a while since they had any Baek Seung Jo and Ha Ni time with their schedules being so out of whack. He knew this was not the time to remedy it since she was still recovering but Baek Seung Jo was determined to either kick his family out for a few days soon or take her away somewhere. He had some things to make up for.

"I love you." He muttered and Ha Ni ran her thumb over his lips. "I know you do. We are okay, Baek Seung Jo."

He nodded and placed another kiss on her. Then waited expectantly but at her prolonged silence, he raised an eyebrow. "Well…"

"Well, what?" Ha Ni teased and his eyes narrowed. "This is usually the part where the wife tells her husband she loves him too."

"It is?"

"Do you want the soup I saved for you or not. Because I can always give it to Eun Jo."

Ha Ni wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you too."

"About time." Seung Jo grumbled but she saw the laughter in his eyes. She pulled him in closer, "I've missed you."

"I know. Me too" He sighed and nuzzled her hair. Ha Ni had discovered early on in their marriage that Baek Seung Jo was obsessed with her hair. He got very possessive if someone else tried to play or mess with it. They laid together for a minute but he could tell Ha Ni was getting sleepy again. "Do you think you can eat?"

"I think so." She started to get up but he pushed gently on her shoulder. "Stay still. I will bring it up."

She nodded with a yawn and he doubted she would still be awake by the time he brought the tray to the room. Geum Hee knocked softly and he smiled seeing that his mom had beaten him to it. On a tray was a bowl of soup for Ha N and a sandwich for him. Baek Seung Jo got up and bowed to his mother before taking the food. "Thanks."

His mother batted away his gratitude. "Make sure you eat Baek Seung Jo. You can't take care of Ha Ni if you become ill too."

He nodded and gently gave the bowl of soup to Ha Ni who began to eat slowly. When Seung Jo walked back over to his mother, she could see the strain on his face. Geum Hee stoked his cheek lightly, "You did well today."

"Not really. I have to fix some things at the hospital." Seung Jo admitted regretfully. "I didn't realize how bad it was for her until it was almost too late."

"Were you able to get that new doctor removed?"

"No," Baek Seung Jo said under his breath. "He won't be in her section anymore which is a start. I am going to have to dig a little for more evidence to get him completely removed."

"You can let it go now Seung Jo," Ha Ni called out and he shot her a glare. "Excuse me?"

"I don't want to cause trouble for you." She answered. "It is enough for me to know I won't have to see him."

"Stop acting like this is nothing but an inconvenience for me." Baek Seung Jo snapped. "You are crazy if you think I am going to allow him to get away with this. Besides, what if tries again with a different nurse?"

"He's right Ha Ni." Geum Hee broke in gently. "This is different than a rumor or snide glance. He physically harmed you. You might have gotten badly injured last night and you're still really sick."

Ha Ni nodded but tears rolled down her cheeks. He shot a glance to his mother who took his subtle hint and crept from the room. Seung Jo forced down his earlier annoyance at her insistence to ignore the problem and sat down on the bed. He saw that she was trying to hide her shakes and had only taken a couple of bites of food. Understanding what was running through her mind, he removed the bowl from her lap, "It's okay, Ha Ni. I won't let him near you anymore."

At the calm sound of his voice, she broke into sobs. The worry and stress making itself known and despite her best attempts to cover up her fear, it came rushing out like a flood. "I was so scared. He had locked the door of the office and I didn't'-didn't know if he was going to let me leave. He was saying things and all could think of was- "

"Shhh." Seung Jo crawled over her and pulled her into arms. "Don't Ha Ni." But this only seemed to make her cry harder so he kissed her head and let her get it out. Months of exhaustion, hoping to make friends but being treated shamefully, and then the disgusting advances from Doctor Choi spilled out in a jumbled mess.

Baek Seung Jo didn't speak or give her random words of comfort but at each gut-wrenching confession, he felt his heart break for her a little more. After more than a hour of sobbing, Ha Ni passed out completely. He didn't dare move and continued to hold her until Oh Ki Dong got home and wanted to check on his daughter. Even then Seung Jo didn't go any further than the corner of the room.

After tucking her in thoroughly, Ki Dong came up to quietly tell him, "I had to stop Bong Joon Gu from coming when he learned Ha Ni was not feeling well."

Seung Jo knew why his father-in-law felt the need to warn him. He swore if that punk showed up tonight… "He just got added to my list of people who need to learn Ha Ni belongs only to me."

Ki Dong smiled and clapped his shoulder. "Maybe talk to him when you don't look like you want to remove his arms off at the wrist."

"Probably a good idea." Baek Seung Jo muttered, knowing in his current state he would only end up punching Joon Gu, who didn't really deserve it. "Although if he comes over and bothers Ha Ni while she is recovering, I may end up doing it anyway."

"I wouldn't blame you," Ki Dong admitted with a glance back to his sleeping girl. "Come downstairs Baek Seung Jo, she is asleep now. Take a break."

He shook his head. "I want to stay nearby. Just in case."

"Well at least try and get some sleep yourself. You look almost as exhausted as she does."

Seung Jo shrugged it off with an easy smile. "I am fine."

Oh Ki Dong sighed but decided not to push. He left with a low thanks for taking care of his daughter which Baek Seung Jo only brushed aside. As it became quiet again, he decided to take his Ki Dong's advice to get some rest. He stripped off his clothes and crawled into bed with Ha Ni. He wrapped his arms around her waist and gently pulled until her back pressed up against his chest. She gave a sigh of contentment and buried deeper into his embrace. "I had forgotten how good this feels."

He tucked his head down next to her, "We are not skipping this anymore. No more overnights for either of us. I can't sleep without you anyway."

"Sure." Ha Ni muttered sleepily and he grinned knowing she had no clue what he had just said. "I love you."

"I want fried rice."

He had to bury his head into the pillow to muffle his laughter so he wouldn't wake her. His wife always did say random things half asleep. Finally able to relax, Baek Seung Jo fell into a deep sleep next to her.

A month later and Ha Ni was looking around trying to figure out where he was driving them too. He had insisted on taking her somewhere for a long weekend since she was going back to the hospital for the first time on Monday. She had spent the last four weeks sleeping, eating bland food, and trying to get her strength back.

Both Baek Seung Jo and her family had refused to let her do anything more strenuous than getting a glass of water. Especially after Seung Jo had taken her in for some tests and realized she was anemic and her kidneys had been working too hard from not having proper hydration.

Ha Ni had never seen her husband move so fast as when he read her results from the lab. He had admitted her overnight into the hospital and hooked her to an I.V. to get fluids into her system. After she had went home, Seung Jo had put her on strict order of bed rest.

Despite going stir crazy, she had to admit the break was needed. Ha Ni had managed to put some weight back on and her energy returned. Baek Seung Jo had originally wanted to stay home for the length of her recovery but she had insisted he go back to work. Knowing he would get cranky and more tense about her condition if he didn't. Geum Hee stayed home with her and made sure she ate and rested as much as possible. It also had been good to talk to her surrogate mother about what happened without worrying or stressing Seung Jo further.

He had presented his thesis and research to the hospital which had been well received. He was still determined to get Doctor Choi removed but Ha Ni wasn't convinced it was possible. He was too powerful there. She was just relieved she wouldn't have to see him again when she went back to work.

Nurse Hyeon Dae had visited one afternoon and said her husband had started shutting down the flirtatious nurses and staff instead of just ignoring them. So, some of the mentality had begun shifting about the relationship between the two of them. It was becoming clearer that Baek Seung Jo was in love with Ha Ni and it was useless to try and grab his attention.

Although she had never been overly concerned about her husband's loyalty, Ha Ni couldn't help but feel a little smug that he was being more direct about it. Baek Seung Jo also had a conversation with Joon Gu about his persistent pursuit of Ha Ni when he tried to come over one day. She wasn't sure what he said but Joon Gu seemed to have gotten the message. He no longer made her feel uneasy with his open adoration or slight physical touches every time she visited the restaurant.

Now, Ha Ni was almost back to normal and Seung Jo was finally confident enough in her recovery to let her return to the hospital. Except he demanded from the Chairman an easier schedule and no more overnights for her. Understanding that Baek Seung Jo would walk away from the hospital if Ha Ni didn't start getting treated better, Chairman Soon had readily agreed.

Ha Ni had originally thought Seung Jo was just planning on taking her to dinner but he had surprised her once they got in the car. Declaring he had arranged to be off this weekend and was taking her somewhere special. Once they pulled into the area, Ha Ni looked at him confused. "Where are we?"

He gave a mock scowl, "Do you not remember our honeymoon?" She frowned at the cabana facing the water. "Of course, but this isn't- "

"I booked us a private cabana instead of the resort." Baek Seung Jo told her with a smirk. "I don't plan on getting disturbed this time."

Ha Ni's eyes widened as he took her hand leading her inside. "It even has a private pool!"

"Mmm hmm."

She gave an excited squeal and jumped up into his arms. Luckily years with his wife had taught him to expect this reaction. He caught her easily and grinned as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Ha Ni peppered his face with kisses, "I love it. Just the two of us with no interruptions."

"Not unless someone wants to die." He said seriously and she laughed. She cupped his face and kissed him deeply. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ha Ni jumped down and looked around the pretty cabin. "What do you want to do first?"

Baek Seung Jo raised his eyebrow, "Is that a trick question?"

She shook her head with a twinkle in her eye. "Well if I remember right…You were upset about the last time I went skinny dipping because I didn't invite you."

"That's true." He said huskily and Ha Ni gave him a flirty grin before taking a step back, pulling her shirt over her head. Her husband growled and began walking to her but she kept skirting closer to the pool stripping more of her outfit as she went. "So why don't I make it up to you now?

"I like that idea." He made a move to grab her but she darted away with a laugh. "Are you teasing me, Baek Ha Ni?"

She nodded happily and dropped her tank top. Feeling bold by the flush of desire on his face, she turned away from him and began unhooking her bra. She heard his quick intake of breath at the sight, "I am going to make you pay for this."

Ha Ni giggled and opened the balcony door but got hung up on her shoes allowing Seung Jo to finally catch her. He laid a slow wet kiss into the back of her neck, "I think I am going to change our reservation for the whole week."

She gasped at the feel of his hands moving over her, taking over the job of removing the rest of her clothes. Pretty soon she was gasping for a whole different reason and abandoned her attempts to get to the water. Especially once Baek Seung Jo kicked the door shut and declared the floor was good enough for him.
