Kang Mo Yeon and Min Yoon Gi

It was a nice Sunday when she received the invitation. She was taking a break from the hospital and from the wedding preparation, and Si Jin was on his way to her place. An e-mail from her university informing her about a reunion. Mo Yeon never really fond for events like this. She didn't really have nice memories except studying and made a few friends. She didn't even have a love life, and knowing Si Jin was easily to get jealous, she was happy about that. The one reason she avoided her university reunion was Min Yoon Gi.

Yoon Gi was her senior, and he was the reason she was having a cold war with Myeong Ju for years. If it was not for the two soldiers, perhaps she was still having evil thoughts about Myeong Ju. Mo Yeon didn't know if it was her luck for the General's daughter never showed her interest to Si Jin although the General himself wanted both of them to be together. She just didn't want to think what could have happened if she had to compete with Myeong Ju for Si Jin. She probably the one who would just leave.

"What's with the face? You look like you're just having a bad news," suddenly she heard Si Jin's voice and snapped from her inner monologue. Si Jin, with his Special Forces skills, often surprised her. As for now, she didn't even heard him coming.

The Major looked at her laptop over her shoulder and Mo Yeon could see he was interested in the reunion invitation.

"Your university's reunion?" he asked.

Mo Yeon clicked the e-mail closed. "Yes."

"Do you want to go?"

She shrugged. "I don't really want to."

"I bet Myeong Ju will go and bringing Dae-young with her."

Mo Yeon chuckled and closed her laptop. "You're saying this because you also want to go, right?"

Si Jin grinned. "Ah, you are the master on reading my mind." And then, he leaned closer. "So, will you go?"

The doctor sighed and rose from where she sat, walking to the fridge to get some water. Si Jin followed and sat on the chair at her small dining room.

"What is it?"

Mo Yeon put down her glass and looked over to Si Jin. "Don't you know why I don't want to go?"

Si Jin looked like he was on deep thought and then answered, "No."

Mo Yeon rolled her eyes. "Don't pretend like you don't remember. You were sulking after cooking for me when Lieutenant Yoon and I talked about Yoon Gi."

Si Jin's eyes brightened. "Ah, that guy. I'm still curios about him, though. Do you think I should call Team Alpha to conduct an operation for him?"

"What?"

"For your senior, he is not smart enough to see how beautiful you are."

"You don't answer my question. What operation? I thought you are not the Captain anymore."

"I'm not the Captain, but I can order them if I want to."

Mo Yeon's eyes narrowed. "You said having a fight with civilian can cause you a big trouble."

"When did I say that?"

"When you were drunk after returning from Urk."

Si Jin's eyes glinted mischievously. "Then, it will be Unauthorized Black Operation."

"Gosh..." Mo Yeon chuckled. "Trust me, he's not worth it."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Do you?"

"I'm serious."

"Oh, please..."

Si Jin smiled and rose from his seat, closing his gap with her while Mo Yeon stood straight and stepped backwards until Si Jin trapped her between him and the wall. Her heart thumped loudly on her chest. In the three years of their relationship, and now they were about getting married, Si Jin never acted like this. Well, their first kiss didn't count. He was the polite one, and just like her mother said, sweet and naive. And seeing Si Jin like this, surprised Mo Yeon in a good way.

Without another word, Si Jin held her nape and kissed her just like he did back in Urk, their wine kiss. Mo Yeon closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Si Jin's neck while the Major wrapped his free arm on her waist. They were kissing, enjoying their closeness, before finally Si Jin ended his kiss. Mo Yeon opened her eyes to meet those loving eyes of her fiance.

"I still remember our first kiss. I always dream you will kiss me like this back then," he whispered.

Mo Yeon smiled. "Even when we talk about the man that could probably will get you jealous, you still manage to kiss me. Well done, Major."

Si Jin smiled back.

"And speaking of that, why did you do this?"

He caressed her cheek, making her body warm. "Just like back then. You look so beautiful and I just want to kiss you."

Mo Yeon chuckled and leaned her head onto the wall. "And what? You will do this every time I look beautiful?"

Si Jin tilted his head. "I think that's a good idea."

"Oh, stop it," Mo Yeon push Si Jin away playfully and the Major followed her lead, letting her go.

"Seriously, if you want to go, I will go with you. I want to meet this Yoon Gi. I'm sure Dae-young feels the same."

And then, Si Jin's phone vibrated. He looked over the phone and grinned before showing Mo Yeon his phone. "Sergeant Seo is going."

"I don't like this at all," Mo Yeon grumbled.

"I'm sure you will. Besides, like me, Dae-young won't missed this opportunity."

"You both are unbelievable."

The reunion would be held for the next two weeks. For two weeks time, both Si Jin and Mo Yeon returned to their own schedules. Si Jin was determine to come, he even asked for a day off on the reunion day. Mo Yeon could only winced mentally. Si Jin alone could be bad when he got jealous, added with Sergeant Seo, the doctor only wished they didn't blow up the venue for real.

"Have you been into a reunion before?" Mo Yeon asked when Si Jin visited her place after he went off from work still wearing his uniform.

"Several times when I just graduated from the academy. And it becomes less after I joined the Special Forces."

"Oh, I see."

"Why? You're surprise?"

"I never thought the army has that kind of event."

Si Jin grinned. "Soldiers can have fun too, you know."

And Mo Yeon didn't even want to find out.

Myeong Ju contacted her two days before the event, asking if she wanted to go. She told the Lieutenant she had no choice but going because Si Jin wanted to go. They promised to each other to meet at the venue, which was held at the university hall.

When the day came, Mo Yeon wore a simple deep blue knee-length dress, she already had this dress, but she never wore it until now. Her hair which was longer than when she first met Si Jin, braided on the right side. After applying light make up, she stared at her reflection at the mirror and wondering again why she had to go.

The door bell rang and Mo Yeon knew Si Jin had arrived. Blowing a breath, she quickly rose and grabbed her small bag. When she saw Si Jin, she froze on the spot. The Major was extremely handsome wearing also deep blue suit with black trousers. His short hair was neat, almost like he did when they attended Daniel's wedding and before the volcano eruption interrupted the event. Si Jin blinked when he saw her.

"Wow...is this really Dr. Kang? Wait...you dress up like this for me, right? Not for Yoon Gi?"

Mo Yen raised her eyebrows. "No, I dress like this for Lieutenant Yoon. I bet she never seen me in a dress before."

"As long as it's not for Yoon Gi, it's fine for me. So, are you ready?"

"No."

Si Jin grinned. "Just relax. What could possibly happen? It's just a reunion."

Mo Yeon didn't say anything when Si Jin guided her to the car. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Si Jin often glanced at her.

"You look very pretty, " suddenly Si Jin said.

Mo Yeon smiled slightly and glanced sideways. "So, I'm pretty at night too?"

"Well, like I said before you are pretty in the morning and afternoon, and now at night."

"You haven't seen me when I woke up in the morning."

"I have."

Mo Yeon blinked. "You have? When?"

Si Jin touched his heart, pretending to be hurt. "You already forgot when we spend the night together at the hospital? Twice?"

Mo Yeon furrowed her eyebrows. "You were sleeping when I woke up."

"I woke up long enough to see you sleeping."

"Oh gosh..." Mo Yeon covered her face with her hands.

Si Jin only smiled and patted Mo Yeon's head lovingly.

When they arrived at the university, Mo Yeon took a quick look of the place where she studied medicine. It brought a lot of memories, the spots where she used to read alone or along with some friends. She brought back to the present when she felt Si Jin touched her elbow and saw Myeong Ju along with Sergeant Seo.

"Mo Yeon," the lieutenant called her.

She waved her hand and looked at the lovely woman in front of her. Mo Yeon was used to see Myeong Ju with her uniform and several times with civilian clothes, but she never seen her wearing a dress. She was beautiful. Again, the tiny part of her mind screamed why in the world Si Jin never attracted to the General's daughter.

"Wow...you look so beautiful," she heard Myeong Ju praised her. The General's daughter nudged Si Jin playfully. "You should be careful. She had a lot of admirers back then. Who knew what will happen for tonight, huh?"

Si Jin blinked. "What?"

Sergeant Seo tried to hold his laugh while Si Jin narrowed his eyes.

"I'm beginning to regret I didn't bring my gun with me," Si Jin said in sarcasm.

Mo Yeon sighed dramatically. "This is why I hate this kind of event."

Dae-young and Myeung Jo only chuckled watching Mo Yeon and Si Jin. They both had been friends long enough with Si Jin to know how protective he was over Mo Yeon. He even did a solo operation to save the doctor in Urk when she had been kidnapped, defying the rules, risking his position. They knew Si Jin would do anything that he thought was right. International diplomacy be damn.

Myeong Ju wrapped her arms around Mo Yeon's shoulders. "Let's go. The three of us here will protect you if the wolves are coming."

"Aissh..."

The couples walked into the hall. A lot of guests were already there. Both Myeong Ju and Mo Yeon started to search for some familiar faces. They met with some of their friends, but no sign of Yoon Gi yet.

When they were on the hall, it was crowded enough. Some friends acknowledged both Myeong Ju and Mo Yeon while the men introducing themselves as both girls' couples. It was when they wanted to have some drinks, the highlight person whom Si Jin and Dae-young waiting finally made his appearance.

"Myeong Ju! Mo Yeon! My girls!"

Both couples frozed and Mo Yeon glanced to Myeong Ju. They shared knowing glance before grabbed their men's elbows.

In front of them, stood Min Yoon Gi.

Mo Yeon couldn't remember the last time she met with her senior. Perhaps when she graduated? Or maybe after that?

Si Jin and Dae-young only tilted their heads when they saw the man in front of them. Judging by the reaction of the girls, they knew this must be the man who caused both of them having cold war.

"You both are so beautiful." The man extended his arms. "Don't you guys want to give me a hug?"

Si Jin and Dae-young looked at the man with unbelievable expression. Both girls were next to them, clutching on their elbows and this man boldly asking for a hug?

Si Jin began to think several scenarios if he ever conduct an operation for this man. Dae-young was right, though. It was too simple to shoot him and too boring to blow him up.

Mo Yeon cleared her throat. "Senior. It's good to see you. This is Yoo Si Jin." She quickly tried to clear the awkward atmosphere when she felt Si Jin already eying her senior.

"This is Seo Dae-young," Myeong Ju interjected.

Yoon Gi finally realized both girls clutching over their men. They probably their boyfriends and he recalled on how he was with both of them back in the university. He was not a playboy, but he was enjoying his time when he spent it with both of girls without any attachment. He was hoping he could at least catching up with one of them tonight for both Myeong Ju and Mo Yeon never attended the reunion. And now, when they were here, they brought two men with them.

"Ah, how very rude of me," he lowered his arms when he sensed both of the men staring at him like a predator. "I'm Min Yoon Gi. It's really nice to see all of you." He quickly walked away from them and both girls blew their breath.

"That's the guy you two had a thing with? You are bruising my pride," Si Jin said to Mo Yeon while the doctor rolled her eyes.

"I remember I'm off duty. If it's not, I already shot him," Dae-young replied.

"Hey!" Myeong Ju nudged her boyfriend.

"Oh, seriously? Why can't we just enjoy this event?" Mo Yeon pointed to Si Jin. "And you, Major. You made me come here so it's best that you make me not regret it."

Si Jin chuckled and wrapped his arm around Mo Yeon's shoulders. "Alright...alright."

The couples enjoyed the food and drinks. Some people recognized them and they chatted like old friends. Si Jin and Dae-young finally let the girls to have some time with their old friends. Mo Yeon was approaching the drink table to refill her glass when she sensed someone stood next to her. She turned her head to see Yoon Gi leaned on the table and looked at her with evil grin.

"I didn't know you had a boyfriend. I thought you had a crush on me."

Mo Yeon took a deep breath. "It was a crush. It was in the past." She quickly turned to walk away, but her senior grabbed her arm.

"Are you sure he is your boyfriend? I was thinking he is just your friend and you asked him to accompany you here."

Mo Yeon looked at her senior incredulously. "What?"

Yoon Gi moved closer, still holding her arm while Mo Yeon leaned away. "I heard the hospital give you a hard time for you to become a professor. I can make it easier for you, you know?"

Mo Yeon blinked and gave a shaky laugh. "I didn't hear it wrong, right? Don't you even hear at yourself? Where was the senior I respect?"

"In real world, sincerity means nothing. You know it for yourself. You work hard, but they cast you aside for some cracky doctors with connection to the director. Don't you tired of that?"

Mo Yeon shook her head in disbelief. "And you calling yourself a doctor?"

This time, Yoon Gi held Mo Yeon with both of his hands while she was trying to keep the distance. "Think about what I've said. I can help you." He added again with knowing grin,"If you know what I mean."

And then, suddenly Si Jin appeared and grabbed both of Yoon Gi's arms. With his fighting skill, he released Yoon Gi's grab over Mo Yeon causing him yelped in pain. Si Jin stood in front of Mo Yeon, shielding her protectively. Dae-young, out of habit as Si Jin's second command, stood next to them in case everything went wrong. Myeong Ju only stared at her senior, couldn't believe he was trying to do his move when Mo Yeon was clearly in relationship.

"Get your hands off her," Si Jin said in deep voice.

Yoon Gi rubbed his hands and looked over the man in front of him. From what he did earlier, he knew Mo Yeon's boyfriend was not ordinary man. He chuckled. "You get yourself a bodyguard? That's nice."

Si Jin, who already seen how Yoon Gi treated his fiancee, almost lost his patience. He took a step forward, he didn't care if the base grounded him for fighting a civilian. It was that moment when Mo Yeon touched his shoulder. Si Jin blinked and looked over the beautiful woman behind him. Mo Yeon smiled.

"It's alright. I can handle this."

Their eyes met and Si Jin finally nodded. Mo Yeon walked over to Yoon Gi and took a deep breath.

"Thank you for the offer, but I'm a doctor. I took an oath and I will do it with all my heart. I've done a surgery with five guns pointed at my head and another five guns trying to protect me, so your offer means nothing to me."

In one quick move, Mo Yeon hit Yoon Gi on the face, causing some people gasped. Even Si Jin, Dae-young and Myeong Ju couldn't believe what they saw.

"I will not disappoint the five guns who were trying to protect me in Urk over a cheap offer from you. If you want to have a woman in your bed, try harder, but not at me," Mo Yeon said with brimmed eyes and quickly turned to walk away.

Si Jin stood there in amazement before Dae-young nudged him and tilted his head over Mo Yeon's retreat figure.

Mo Yeon walked hastily to the front door of the hall, ignoring all the glances. She tripped on her heels near the door and she couldn't hold her tears anymore. She quickly took off her heels and ran to the parking lot. She sat on the quiet corner and hugged her knees, burying her face on her lap. She sensed someone sat next to her.

"Hmph...I really shouldn't have left you alone. In Urk, you were hanging on the cliff and then, someone kidnapped you when you were not at my sight. You know, you are the magnet of trouble. But, I can be your personal bodyguard."

Mo Yeon didn't answer. She was still crying.

Si Jin sighed and slowly enveloped his fiancee on his embrance. Mo Yeon didn't fight. She leaned her head on Si Jin's chest while the Major stroked her hair lovingly.

"This is why I hate this kind of event," MoYeon said between her sobs, causing Si Jin to smile.

"Now I understand."

Mo Yeon wiped her tears. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? That was very good. How did you know I want to hit him?"

The doctor smiled slightly, enjoying the warmth of Si Jin's embrace. "I'm the master on reading your mind, remember? Besides, I can't let you be grounded by the base if you have a fight with a civilian. Like I said, he's not worth it."

"Ah, I know you are army material. You should stick around with a guy from the army."

Mo Yeon smiled. "Yes, I did." And then, she leaned away, staring at Si Jin's eyes. Her fiance wiped her remaining tears. "Thank you for coming here with me. If it wasn't for you, I didn't know what to do."

Si Jin smiled back. His eyes twinkled. "Don't you remember what I said to you? If you want to run away, take me with you. It would be much better if we run away together."

Mo Yeon gave a shaky laugh.

Si Jin looked at her closely. "Seriously, I never thought you could do that. Remind me not to get on your bad side."

Mo Yeon scoffed. "You have guns. You can easily shoot me."

"I can't shoot a pretty target so my guns are useless when it comes to you."

The doctor only laughed lightly. Trust Si Jin who could make jokes in the time like this.

The Major nudged her shoulder with his fist. "What you said earlier really makes me proud as the former of Team Alpha's Captain. If they know this, they will definitely help you if you need them."

Mo Yeon smiled. "I said the truth. I can't disappoint people who believe me as a doctor. I took the oath with my heart." And then, she sighed sadly. "I just can't believe what he said. Gosh...why do I have to deal with men who want to take me to a hotel?"

Si Jin scratched his head. "Well, that's the reason why I want to conduct an operation for him. I'll call the Captain tonight."

Mo Yeon looked at Si Jin with shocked face while Si Jin looked at her playfully. Later, the doctor sighed and leaned her face on her hand.

"If I want to think about it, I just don't understand why I have to fight with Lieutenant Yoon over a guy like that."

"Hmm..."

"I guess we both are grown up and have different ideal type of men."

Si Jin blinked.

Mo Yeon looked over at Si Jin. "I don't really want to have a fight with her if she interested in you."

Si Jin's heart was beating faster. His fiancee did mention about it in Urk on why he never had any feelings for Myeong Ju. The fact was he never did. Even if Myeong Ju had feelings for him, he would fight for Mo Yeon.

Taking a deep breath, Si Jin leaned closer. "Do you remember when I told you Sergeant Seo almost retired from the army for Myeong Ju?"

Mo Yeon blinked.

"He can go that far for her. Why can't I? I don't care if the General likes it or not I'm on relationship with you. If he put me in the lower rank just because I don't like her daughter, so be it."

"You will go that far for me?"

Si Jin smiled. "The General also asked me the same question and I answered yes. You are the reason for me to fight. I will always choose you." He caressed her cheek lovingly. "Because Dr. Kang Mo Yeon has my heart. All of it."

Mo Yeon blushed.

"Now, since I already confessed my feelings and the night is still young, do you want to have a drink with me?"

Mo Yeon looked thoughtful. "Well, I don't know. My fiance forbids me having drink with another man."

"Really? Who is he?"

The doctor chuckled and kissed Si Jin's cheek, making the Major blushed. "He is sitting next to me."

Si Jin only smiled and stood, extended his hand. "Come on."

Mo Yeon looked at the hall and bit her lip. "What about Lieutenant Yoon and Sergeant Seo?"

"Don't worry about them. Like I said, difficult task always for Sergeant Seo."

Mo Yeon took a deep breath. "Ok."

She started to stand, but wobbled and Si Jin caught her. Si Jin looked at Mo Yeon's feet and noticed the scraps from running without heels. He sighed and crouched in front of her. "Hop on my back."

Mo Yeon blinked. "What?"

"I'm giving you a ride. Come on."

Mo Yeon looked around.

"It's quite dark. They won't see us. Besides our car is not very far."

Mo Yeon bit her lip again before climbing on Si Jin's back. "Are you sure you can carry me?"

Si Jin wrapped his arms on Mo Yeon's ankles and rose from his crouching position while the doctor wrapped her arms around Si Jin's neck.

"I can run with 10 pounds of sand on my back, you know?"

"Are you implying that I'm heavy?"

Si Jin sighed dramatically. "No, I'm implying I can carry you whether you're heavy or not."

"You still said I'm heavy."

"Gosh...is this what I get for coming here with you? You killed me twice today."

"Just let's go having some drinks. I need it."

"Yes, Ma'am."

And Si Jin started to walk, carrying Mo Yeon on his back to the car, smiling when he felt Mo Yeon tightened her grip on his neck.

At least, they got the chance to spend the night together.

Days later, Yoon Gi sent a message to Mo Yeon, saying his apology. Mo Yeon didn't reply and didn't delete the message either. If by luck Si Jin found the message, she would give him permission for Team Alpha to handle her senior.

She would love to see that.
