Kang Mo Yeon and General Yoon (Part 2)

What should you wear when you have to meet the General of the army?

That question was playing in Mo Yeon's mind on the next day. When finally she gave up for the answer, she went to Dr. Pyo's office and ask for her advice.

"You're going to meet the General? The General of the army?" her best friend asked in disbelief.

Mo Yeon nodded.

"Why?"

"That's a good question. I asked Si Jin the same question and he said probably because the General is curious," Mo Yeon answered.

Dr. Pyo pursed her lips. "Curious? You're not the first civilian who will get married to a soldier." She eyed Mo Yeon curiously. "What did you do so he really interested in you?"

"Gosh, you make me sound like I'm a criminal," Mo Yeon said while playing with her phone, looking for a reference for an outfit.

"Since you got back from Urk, your life was indeed interesting. You went there because it was a punishment from the director and then you came home bringing a handsome Captain-now a Major-as your boyfriend, and now you're engaged to him. If I have to go abroad to have a boyfriend, sign me in for the next mission," Dr. Pyo said making Mo Yeon chuckled.

"Yes, Si Jin said our relationship is a blockbuster."

"I can agree to that. Perhaps the General wants to talk to you knowing his potential son in law is not interested in his daughter?"

Mo Yeon grinned. "You can be mean sometimes." And then, the pretty doctor sighed. "Well, I had met him before in Urk, but he haven't found out about my relationship with Si Jin yet."

"Ooohhh...you devil. You both are in a relationship while the General have high hopes for your boyfriend to become his son in law? I never knew Major Si Jin could do that."

And they both laughed.

"I just can't imagine how surprise he is knowing we both are engaged," Mo Yeon said again.

"Hmm...and you're a civilian. It's quite a news." Dr. Pyo scratched her head. "You can't say no?"

Mo Yeon rolled her eyes. "Of course I can say no, but he is the Commander of Special Forces. I can't do that to Si Jin."

This time, Dr. Pyo released a deep breath and then picked up Mo Yeon's phone. "I'll help you."

Mo Yeon smiled in relief. "Thank you."

And then, her best friend stared at her before saying, "You need to do something with your hair too."

Mo Yeon blinked. "My hair?"

When the day came for Mo Yeon to meet with the General, she already with Dr. Pyo at her best friend's office before lunch time. Mo Yeon wore black pants, blue shirt and a black cardigan, with a pair of flat shoes. Dr. Pyo curled Mo Yeon's hair and put it on a barrette. She also applied light make up for Mo Yeon.

"You know, I can do this on my own," Mo Yeon said when Dr. Pyo gave final touch on her hair.

"You asked for my help."

Mo Yeon looked at her reflection in the mirror and almost didn't recognize herself. She was used to wear baggy pants, rarely using make up, and her hair was always been tied up, even she didnt have time to wash it. As for this occasion, she washed her hair twice.

"It looks like I'm on a date with the General, not the Major," she said making Dr. Pyo laughed so hard.

"Come on. Don't ruin my fun. You're not only going to surprise the General, but also the Major."

As cue, Mo Yoen's phone vibrated, signaling Si Jin already arrived and waiting for her in the main lobby.

"Si Jin is here." She checked the time. "Wow, it's almost lunch time." Mo Yeon looked at her best friend and smiled. "Thank you and wish me luck."

Dr. Pyo grinned. "My pleasure. Come on, take me to the main lobby. I want to see your fiance reaction."

Mo Yeon only chuckled before wheeling Dr. Pyo's wheelchair to the main lobby. Si Jin indeed already there, wearing his green uniform. His eyes widened when he saw Mo Yeon and his posture straightened immediately. Dr. Pyo only giggled when she saw this.

"Hi, Major," Dr. Pyo gave him a salute and Si Jin replied it with a slight chuckle. "So, I heard you're going to take Mo Yeon to the military base. Not going to let her walk out from my sight without the proper outfit."

Mo Yeon only punched Dr. Pyo's shoulder lightly. "Oh, you're so funny."

Si Jin only smiled, couldn't believe Mo Yeon looked so beautiful, and couldn't believe his luck this woman would become his wife soon. "You look so beautiful. Are you ready?"

"Yes, I am."

Mo Yeon waved her hand to Dr. Pyo before taking Si Jin's arm and walked out from the main lobby. Dr. Pyo watched them walked away with teary eyes. She was so happy Mo Yeon came back to life, and mostly Major Si Jin was still alive. She thought life was not yet ended for both of them.

And as Dr. Pyo predicted, Si Jin indeed couldn't take his eyes off of his fiancee. He always thought Mo Yeon is pretty, but this time she was prettier. They had lunch together, but Si Jin couldn't even know what to say. He was bewitched once again.

"You're okay? You don't talk much since we have our lunch," Mo Yeon asked in worry tone when they were on the way to the military base.

Si Jin looked at his fiancee closely. "I've never seen you like this. You look so pretty. Not that you're not pretty before, but this time, it's just different."

Mo Yeon blushed. "Well, I thought since I'm going to meet with the General, I can't appear like I just come out from the surgery room."

Si Jin narrowed his eyes. "So, you dressed up like this for him?"

Mo Yeon glanced at her fiance sideways and knew the jealous side of Si Jin started to appear. She smiled sweetly. "Of course. Is that a problem?"

Si Jin huffed in annoyance. "If I knew you're going to dress up, I'd just say no when he asked to talk to you."

"Oh, you..." She ruffled Si Jin's hair. "Besides, he's married, right? And he knows I'm engaged to you. No big deal."

"It's not him that I'm concern about," Si Jin said again while trying to drive safely, ignoring the jealousy raging in his heart.

Mo Yeon furrowed her eyebrows. "It's not? Then who?"

"I have to deal with the men who will stare at you in the military base. I just love this day."

And that one was enough making Mo Yeon laughed.

Once they arrived at the base, Si Jin guided her straight to the main building. They met with some soldiers, some were Si Jin's superiors, others were below him. They looked surprise when they saw her, for a civilian was not allowed to enter military base, but Mo Yeon guessed they knew who she was. They continued to walk until stopped in front of a door. Si Jin knocked and they both enter when the owner of the office told them so.

"Salute! Major Yoo Si Jin, sir," Si Jin greeted formally while Mo Yeon stood next to him and bowing slightly.

The General smiled when he saw Mo Yeon. In his eyes, Mo Yeon was not only beautiful, but she has the courage that could make her a great soldier. And he was curious. A civilian had a relationship with a soldier was not easy. That was why he wanted to talk to Mo Yeon.

"At ease."

Mo Yeon saw Si Jin did what he told while the General rose from his seat and approached her.

"Dr. Kang, it's nice to see you again," the General greeted.

Mo Yeon smiled. "It's nice to see you again, too, General."

General Yoon glanced at Si Jin. "I'd like to talk to Dr. Kang for a while. You may leave."

"Yes, sir. Salute!"

The General replied and Si Jin finally could stare into Mo Yeon's eyes. He smiled and caressed her cheek. "I'll wait outside."

Mo Yeon only nodded.

Without another word, Si Jin left the room and leaving Mo Yeon with General Yoon.

"Please, have a sit," General Yoon said while sitting on one of the chairs in the room, gesturing to Mo Yeon to do the same.

Mo Yeon blinked several times. She remembered the last time she met the General in Urk, he offered the same thing while Si Jin, Myeong Ju, and Sergeant Seo only stood and declined the offer. But, since she was not in the army, it looked like the general wanted to treat her as a civilian.

"Thank you, General," finally she said and sat across from General Yoon.

"Please, don't be too formal. You can address me as Mr. Yoon."

Mo Yeon laughed lightly. "Very well...Mr. Yoon."

General Yoon smiled. "That's better. So, how have you been?"

"I'm good, sir. Thank you for asking."

"It's good to hear that. I was so worried by the time Si Jin was presumed dead. It must be a hard time for you."

Mo Yeon's mood changed drastically. "Yes, it was. But, I'm so glad he's alright."

General Yoon took a deep breath. "I don't know if Si Jin told you or not, but I wanted him to be my son in law for years. I know he went to the military academy with my daughter. I heard you also studied medicine at the same university with Myeong Ju."

"Yes, sir," Mo Yeon answered in low voice. "As for him being in your favor, he also told me that. It was one of the reasons why I reluctant to have a relationship with him, but, he didn't give up."

The General chuckled. "That sounds very Si Jin to me. It's just too bad he did it to you and not to my daughter."

Mo Yeon's heart twisted. "Do you still want him to become your son in law?"

"Deep down inside, yes. But, I'm also a man. And as a man, I know better not to interfere with a man's life when his heart already set for someone. And apparently, my daughter also doesn't have any feelings for him, so I can't blame him."

Mo Yeon went silent.

"Do you know why I want to talk to you, Dr. Kang?"

"No, sir."

General Yoon leaned onto his chair and thinking deeply. "Si Jin reminds me to myself. My wife is also a civilian. I know how hard for her to be separate from me. I can't give her all the time I have, but she's still there by my side. In you, I see my wife. You must know how Special Forces works?"

"Yes, sir."

"You know sometimes their mission could be risky?"

"Yes, I know."

"Do you think you can stand next to Si Jin knowing all of these? And you do know they are allow to kill."

Mo Yeon smiled. "I've seen him kill the man who kidnapped me in Urk. He told me to forget it, but I couldn't. I know it's the part of his job, the part of his oath as a soldier. If killing someone is the part of it, I'll be the one who keep him alive if he gets injured. I only ask him to allow me to get worry whenever he is on a mission. I know I can't ask him details, but I only want him to know I still keep him in my mind and wish him to be alright by the time I'm laughing with my friends. In return, he also promises to always come back, to always return to me."

The pretty doctor stared at the General's eyes. "I can't count how many times I tend to his wounds. I saved him on the hospital bed twice, seeing him bleeding and nearly dying, but he believed I could save him. Just like he believed I could save the Arab President. I will always be the one who keep him alive if he wants me to, just like him to be the one who protects the peace for me and saves me if he has to. So, the answer is yes, General. I'll stand by him."

General Yoon blinked in disbelief. He didn't expect those kind of answer. At this time, he felt so foolish for pressing Si Jin to become his son in law while in reality Si Jin already forged a strong relationship with Dr. Kang. This kind of relationship won't break just because of his noble intention, if he could call it noble.

Yoo Si Jin and Kang Mo Yeon impressed him.

The General finally smiled genuinely. "You are very brave woman, Dr. Kang. I stand by with what I've said; with that kind of vigor, you should have joined the army."

Mo Yeon only laughed lightly. "Thank you, Mr. Yoon, but it's hard for me to wake up in the morning, so no."

General Yoon laughed. "It's really nice to see you again, Dr. Kang. Congratulations for your engagement, by the way. I'm going to burden you with Si Jin from now on."

"Thank you, sir. And no, I don't feel burdened at all. I love being with him," Mo Yeon answered brightly.

"I'm sorry for insisting you to have a talk with me, but I feel so honored to know you, Dr. Kang. I wish the best for your marriage."

Mo Yeon blushed. "Thank you, Mr. Yoon."

"Well, that's all. I wish I could meet you again soon."

"Yes, sir."

General Yoon rose from his chair and Mo Yeon followed suit. He opened the door and Mo Yeon saw Si Jin stood not far from the door. He gave his salute to the General.

"Thank you for taking Dr. Kang to meet me," he said to Si Jin and turned to Mo Yeon. "And since you're here, you may look around. Si Jin could give you a guide."

Mo Yeon's face brightened. She knew this opportunity was very rare for a civilian. "Oh, really? Thank you, sir."

Si Jin only smiled lovingly seeing Mo Yeon's face. He always love it when she was smiling. "I'll take her around, sir. Salute!"

The General replied and then patted Mo Yeon's shoulder before returning to his office. By the time the door closed, Mo Yeon sighed dramatically. Si Jin watched her and crept closer. "So, how did it go?"

Mo Yeon stared at her fiance and pretending to pout. "What do you think? He asked me to break up with you."

Si Jin's face paled immediately. "He did?"

And then, suddenly Mo Yeon grinned. "No, I was just joking." She laughed and quickly ran away from the Major.

Si Jin only shook his head before yelling, "You will regret this, Kang Mo Yeon."

And for some soldiers, it was a sight that day watching a Major chasing a civilian woman on the corridor of the military base.

Author's End Note:

And now I feel so mellow and want to re-watch this drama. Actually, I want to add another part with Si Jin and Mo Yeon, but I decide to do it in the next chapter. I still have many more stories with these two.
