Kang Mo Yeon and Park Byeong-su

History repeated itself.

At least for Kang Mo Yeon.

Less than a month, when she was on her duty, her fiance was sent to Haesung Hospital where she worked, bleeding because of a gunshot. Although it was not as serious as the last time he came nearly dying, but it didn't make Mo Yeon felt great either. Si Jin was losing so much blood, she had to press her palm really hard to stop the bleeding while holding back her tears. And also the difference from the previous event, this time Si Jin was still conscious. He smiled weakly at her despite how pale he was.

"Mo Yeon...Kang Mo Yeon...is that you?" he said softly between his breath, trying to stay awake.

Mo Yeon didn't answer. She was busy pressing her palm and wheeled the bed into the surgery room with other nurses.

"You look...very pretty...today." His eyelids slowly closed.

"Stay awake, Major," Mo Yeon said, making Si Jin opened his eyes in surprise. "It's not the time to sleep. Not yet."

Si Jin slowly smiled. "That's my girl."

The surgery door opened and Mo Yeon quickly changed into her surgery robe. Si Jin already laid on the surgery bed. His jacket and clothes already removed from his body. When everything ready, Mo Yeon wore her mask and leaned down to stare at Si Jin's eyes. He looked so worned out and tired. Mo Yeon smiled and stroked Si Jin's hair, making him blinked owlishly and casted a small smile.

"You can sleep now," Mo Yeon said sweetly, nodding to her assistant to inject anesthesia so Si Jin could sleep.

"You are right. You look sexy with your surgery robe," Si Jin slurry said before finally closed his eyes.

Mo Yeon stared at Si Jin's sleeping face before checking everything so she could begin the surgery. She had done a lot of surgeries before and some of them were not easy. This time she tried not to get carried away with her personal feelings. The man laid in front of her was her patient, but also her fiance. She must saved both of them. The surgery took two hours for the bullet hit nearly to his heart. When it was finished, Mo Yeon sent Si Jin into ICU while she came out from the surgery room and leaned on the wall. She took a deep breath and pulled out her engagement ring from her pocket. She stared at it for a while before going to wash her hands and put the ring back on her ring finger.

That was close.

Really close.

If the bullet went straight to the heart, Mo Yeon didn't want to think what could have happened.

She exchanged her robe with a clean one before stepping out from the surgery room and met face to face with Park Byeong-su, Si Jin's commander. Mo Yeon never liked the man. He was different from Si Jin who was truly a soldier. Mo Yeon saw Park Byeong-su as a person who followed the rules, but didn't know if the rules were right or wrong.

"Why do I always have to see you if one of my men was hurt?" he asked in snide tone.

"Maybe because your men love me," Mo Yeon answered. Si Jin's joke ability slowly rubbing off on her.

Si Jin's commander narrowed his eyes. "How was the surgery?"

Mo Yeon stared back. "It was a success. He is alive. I sent him into the ICU. Not conscious yet so don't do anything funny. It's my fiance we're talking about. You may be his commander, but he is my patient. If you want him back to do his job endangering his life to save his country, you better listen to what I said."

Commander Park blinked in surprise. He knew he couldn't take Dr. Kang lightly. Although he didn't know the details, but rumors said Yoo Si Jin broke the rules with the Arabian people because of her and also risked his position in the army to save her from the kidnappers back in Urk. Some said Dr. Kang had no one in Urk and felt lonely and just saw Major Si Jin as a companion, but later he got news both of them had met before Dr. Kang was sent to Urk. Their reunion in Urk was just a stepping stone to finish what they haven't started before. And now, they were engaged.

"Well...thank you, Dr. Kang, for saving Major Si Jin's life. I know maybe this is a bit late, but congratulations for your engagement," finally Comander Park said.

Mo Yeon took a deep breath. "It's nothing and thank you. I'm going to check him later to see if he could transferred to VIP room."

To her surprise, the commander gave her a salute before turning away from her.

Mo Yeon ran a hand through her hair and quietly sat down on the chair. Her head down and she closed her eyes to calm her emotions when she sensed someone sat next to her. She raised her head and saw Seo Dae-young next to her. He wore the same outfit with Si Jin, the black one. The same as she saw when they saved her from Private Ryan.

"If I ask you what happened, will you answer?" Mo Yeon asked in low voice.

The Sergeant went silent before staring at Mo Yeon's eyes. "He was protecting one of our men. That is all I can say."

"That man...," Mo Yeon said while closing her eyes.

"Is he alright?" Dae-young wanted to know.

"Of course he is. Do you think I will let him slip away from my fingers? No way."

Dae-young smiled. "Thank you for saving him."

Mo Yeon didn't answer.

She thought they will always be that couple who said gratitude for saving each other life rather than thanking for anniversary present.

Si Jin didn't awake until the next two hours. Mo Yeon sent him into the VIP room. This time no extra guards like before and since she was the one who did the surgery, she was responsible for Si Jin until he got released.

It was when she checked his pulse, Si Jin opened his eyes. Mo Yeon stared at those loving eyes before leaning down.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

Si Jin crooked a smile. "Aside being hurt and feel uncomfortable, I'm fine."

Mo Yeon smiled back and leaned away before Si Jin caught her wrist. "I'm sorry I broke my promise. I promised not to show up in front of you covered in blood and yet..."

"You don't need to think about it now. We can talk about it later."

Si Jin moved his hand until he held Mo Yeon's ring finger. "I was worried when I didn't see you wear your ring."

Mo Yeon chuckled. "Even in the time you will get a surgery, you still had the chance to see my ring finger. You are really observant." She leaned again. "I can't risk the ring stucked anywhere inside your body. I need to do the surgery again to have the ring back."

Si Jin grinned weakly. "I can buy you another."

"No, thank you. I like this one better."

"This woman...why are you giving away your charm again? I can't take it," Si Jin mumbled and closed his eyes.

Mo Yeon smiled and caressed her fiance's hair. "Try to get some sleep. I have to finish my round and then I'll stay with you for the night."

"For real?" suddenly the Major's face brightened.

"Just to sleep, you pervert. I still can't believe how you can be a Major with that brain of yours."

Si Jin only grinned.

"Now, please, let go of my hand," Mo Yeon said sweetly.

"How about you tell someone else to finish your round? I don't want to sleep alone."

Mo Yeon rolled her eyes. "Gosh...you're such a big baby."

Si Jin laughed lightly and released Mo Yeon's hand. In quick move, she gave Si Jin a peck just like he did back in Urk in the gas station causing the Major's eyes widening in surprise.

"I'll be back," Mo Yeon winked while her fiance groaned.

"Arrghh...it's not fair!"

Mo Yeon only laughed while got out from the room. She won't admit it, but she was happy seeing Si Jin almost back to his normal self.

True to her words, Mo Yeon returned to Si Jin's room to see her fiance watching news on TV.

"There's nothing going on, Major. Even if it does, I will not give you permission to leave. You need to rest, " Mo Yeon said while removing her white jacket.

Si Jin turned off the TV and Mo Yeon laid next to him on the bed. They stared at each other.

"Thank you for saving me," Si Jin said while caressing Mo Yeon's cheek.

"I guess we will always be that couple, right? The one who always say thank you for saving each other rather than thank you for a gift," Mo Yeon replied. "But, I wouldn't have it any other way. That's what makes us special."

Si Jin smiled. "What did I do to deserve someone like you? You are so perfect."

And then, they went silent.

Slowly, Si Jin leaned down to kiss Mo Yeon before the pretty doctor leaned away. When Si Jin looked at her in confusion, Mo Yeon only smirked. "No kiss for you tonight. I'm still mad at you."

Si Jin dropped his head onto the pillow. "My goodness...dealing with you is harder than dealing with the bad guys."

Mo Yeon woke up early in the morning while Si Jin was still asleep. She gave him a kiss on the cheek before retreating from the bed. She wore back her white jacket and opened the door to meet again with Commander Park. She didn't need to guess what was going on that man's mind watching her came out from the room early and clearly just woke up. She didn't really care, though.

"Good morning, Dr. Kang."

"Good morning. What are you doing in here? Si Jin is still asleep. He needs his rest," Mo Yeon said protectively.

The Commander cleared his throat. "I just want to check if he's alright."

"He is fine. I will release him when I think he's strong enough. For now, just don't disturb him, please."

"It's army matter, Doctor. You don't have say to that."

Mo Yeon blew a breath and put her hands on her hips before staring to Commander Park. "I've said once to Si Jin I don't care about rules. I just want him to be alive. You and your rules."

"Doctor..."

"I'm not in the army, I can say anything I want. There are a lot of men there willingly to protect their country, but all I ask just let Si Jin to rest. Can you just give him that?"

Commander Park stared at her hard. "This is why I don't really fond of you."

Mo Yeon smiled. "I get that a lot."

"How can a doctor understand about us?"

"I understand enough," Mo Yeon said.

Later, Si Jin's commander chuckled. "I can see now why you are the perfect match for him."

Mo Yeon looked at the commander's eyes. "Say anything you want. Si Jin will not leave without my permission."

Silence.

And then, Commander Park blew a breath. "As you wish, Doctor."

Mo Yeon nodded. "Thank you."

When Mo Yeon started to walk, she heard him said, "I still can't imagine how a doctor and a soldier can have a relationship. Doesn't it bother you when we take lives?"

Mo Yeon stopped and turned back. "I have my oath as a doctor and so do you as a soldier, and because Si Jin and I keep each other alive. Good day, Commander."

At the moment, Mo Yeon realized the truth of her statement. She and Si Jin saved each other countless times and that was what they truly were.

Commander Park was staring at Mo Yeon's retreating figure before opening the door to Si Jin's room only to find the Major already stood behind it. They both stared at each other until Si Jin's commander sighed.

"I'll let you have sick leave. I don't want to see the pretty lady get angry at me anymore," he said causing Si Jin to smile.

"Thank you, sir. Salute!"
