OC is Captain Lee Joon Ha, the new Captain of Team Alpha. You can imagine Kim Jeong Hoon as the Captain.
Kang Mo Yeon and Team Alpha (Part 1)
Mo Yeon was still remember the time the Director sent her to Urk as a punishment. She resented it, but apparently Fate had another plan. In that country, she met again with Si Jin. Looked like the red strings of Fate entwined them and that also made their relationship grew stronger. So, she shouldn't be angry when the Director sent her again to Urk on one month and a half prior to her wedding.
No, she wasn't angry because this time it was the request of Urk government.
And yes, she was angry because why all of this time when she was about to get married, for God's sake.
The Urk government specifically asked the medical team which dealt directly with M3 virus and her name was on the spot.
She couldn't say no because this was her job as a doctor and the part of the oath she had taken.
Since Urk was still unstable from the former civil war, she and her team will stay at the Korean military camp, just like the previous when she was leading the medical team as volunteers. She would be happy if Si Jin was there just like before, but she knew he was not. But, the one thing she knew, he must have known she had to go for he suddenly knocked on her door at 10 pm when she was about to go to bed.
"I know I shouldn't have just talk to that Director," Si Jin suddenly said when she opened the door while the Major was just waltzing in, just like he did after he was released from the hospital.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Why didn't you tell me you're going to Urk?"
Mo Yeon sighed. "I just knew this afternoon. I wanted to tell you, but I'm afraid you're busy. I'm going to tell you first thing in the morning."
Si Jin blew a breath and sat on the couch on her living room.
"You should have seen my face when I found out you will be leading a small team to Urk."
"Well, how was your face? Was it the same when you found out I'm the leader of the volunteers in Urk?"
Si Jin smiled a bit nostalgic and pulled Mo Yeon to sit next to him. "It was the same, but the feelings are not. Back then, I was nervous, and now, I am worried." He looked at her closely. "Who will go with you?"
The doctor shrugged. "Maybe the same as we first had our volunteer duty in Urk. Dr. Song must go because he was the one who did the small research about the virus. I'll have a small meeting tomorrow to discuss it."
Si Jin only nodded.
Mo Yeon pursed her lips. "Is Team Alpha in Urk too this time?"
The Major leaned on the couch. "This is not United Nations' mission, but still risky. For now, they will go only to protect you and your team, disguised as the common soldiers." He looked at Mo Yeon. "I'm sorry, but I can't go there the same time as yours. I will follow you the next week. You'll be there for two weeks, right?"
Mo Yeon nodded.
"Actually, it's not my responsibility anymore, but when it comes to you, I just can't. I asked the General to give me permission to go to Urk."
"Hmmm..." And then, she looked at Si Jin closely. "So, who is the captain?"
Si Jin looked back at Mo Yeon. "Captain Lee Joon Ha. You'll see him when you arrived. Team Alpha will go to Urk before you do."
"I see."
Si Jin held Mo Yeon's hand. "Please, be careful."
Mo Yeon smiled and caressed Si Jin's cheek. "Don't worry about me. I'm not going to war."
The Major scoffed. "I remember a doctor said fighting against a virus is a doctor's battle." Their eyes met again. "Just, please, you have to win."
Mo Yeon's heart warmed and she held both Si Jin's hand. "It's only an observation. The government wants to know how to handle the virus, that's all. It's going to be different from the last time."
Si Jin could only nod.
"But, I'm happy I can come back to Urk again as medical team. I can visit Fatima, and perhaps..." She gave Si Jin her best glare. "I can go to our beach alone."
"What?"
"And yes, the sight of the running soldiers. I love that, too."
Si Jin looked annoyed. "Are you serious?"
"Of course I am," Mo Yeon said and rose from the couch only tackled down by her fiance, and now she sat on his lap, caged by both his arms.
"Have you forgotten I'm the Major? I can punish them for even looking at you."
Mo Yeon laughed while her heart was fluttering. "You can't be serious."
"Who said I'm joking?"
"Oh you..." She was about to stand up, but Si Jin didn't let her go.
Their eyes met and their closeness made her body warm. The intensity of Si Jin's gaze caused butterflies on her stomach. Now, she finally understood how it felt.
The Major caressed her cheek and without another word, leaning in and giving her a kiss. Mo Yeon closed her eyes and wrapped her arm on Si Jin's neck. He pulled her closer, causing her hand to move to Si Jin's hair and gave it a little tug.
Si Jin suddenly ended the kiss and tried to control his breathing. He closed his eyes, trying to tame his emotion.
This emotion he felt was new. He kissed Mo Yeon before, but he never felt like this. The passion, desire...he was afraid he would do something inappropriate if he continued.
"Gosh...you're killing me," He said making the doctor laughed lightly.
"I'm a doctor. I can help you."
Si Jin chuckled and opened his eyes. "I'm sure you will." And then, he caressed her hair. "Promise me to take care of yourself until I arrive. I will tell Dae-young to keep an eye on you."
Mo Yeon furrowed her eyebrows. "And the captain?"
Si Jin nodded. "Him too."
The doctor smiled and gave Si Jin a big hug. "I will, Major. I promise."
The next day, Mo Yeon held a small meeting to discuss who would going with her to Urk. She definitely would bring Dr. Song for he was the one who did the research on the M3 virus and Nurse Ha definitely would go too. The latter made her a bit nervous because both of them were engaged just like her. Chi Hun also wanted to go, he said he wanted to meet Blackey, and of course Nurse Choi didn't say no.
When the meeting was over, Dr. Song raised his hand. "This is out of the topic, but will Major Yoo be there too?"
Mo Yeon smiled. "No. He will come next week. He's not the Captain anymore so he's not really in the base."
"Then, we will see the new captain?" Nurse Ha asked.
The doctor nodded. "Yes." And then, she smiled. "Thank you for your presence in this meeting. I must say I'm glad to return to Urk as a medical team." She blinked to both nurses. "And yes, I missed our doves."
Nurse Ha and Nurse Choi gave an audible sigh while Dr. Song was pouting.
"Aigoo..."
When the day was arrived, the team gathered at the airport. Learning from past experience, they didn't carry heavy luggage for only be replaced by ordinary army bags once they arrived. They were informed the Medicube was still there so there was no need to bring extra medicines. Mo Yeon was checking her luggage when she felt someone nudged her. She looked up and saw Dr. Song tilted his head to a direction. She slowly turned her head and blinked when she saw Si Jin walked among the crowds with his green uniform and his beret.
"Wow...Major Yoo is really handsome," Nurse Choi said in awe.
Mo Yeon only nodded in agreement. She told Si Jin her departure schedule, but didn't expect for him to come. This was a huge surprise for her.
Si Jin smiled when he approached the medical team. He gave them a salute and then said, "I can't let you guys go before I can say goodbye."
"Hmmm..." Dr. Song snickered. "Are you sure you want to say goodbye to us or only to this beautiful doctor here?" He asked jokingly while nudging Mo Yeon, causing her to blush.
"Actually, you guys are the second priority." His gaze fixed on Mo Yeon. "This beautiful doctor is always on my top list."
"Oh, stop it..." Mo Yeon said in embarrassment.
And then, the announcement of the departure was heard and the team bid their goodbye to Si Jin before walking to the departure gate to give Mo Yeon and Si Jin their privacy.
"Take care of yourself," he said in low voice.
Mo Yen smiled. "You too."
With one deep breath, Si Jin gave Mo Yeon a warm hug. "Now I know what it feels like to be left behind. If this is a punishment for me for always do that to you, I will take it."
Mo Yeon patted Si Jin's back. "Like I said, I'm not going to war and you said for yourself Team Alpha will be there to protect me. I'll be fine."
She felt Si Jin nodded and he released his hug. Her heart ached when she saw his eyes were misty.
He held her shoulders. "Call me as soon as you arrived. I love you," he said.
Mo Yeon smiled and caressed Si Jin's cheek. "I will. I love you too."
"Go ahead. I'll follow you," Si Jin said his farewell words when Mo Yeon was about to return to Korea and now the situation was reversed.
With one last glance, Mo Yeon picked up her luggage and began to walk to her team who already waiting for her. When she arrived on the departure gate, she turned around to see Si Jin was still standing on his spot and gave her a salute. Mo Yeon smiled slightly and waved her hand.
Blowing a breath, she turned around and passed the gate.
Si Jin was still there by the time Mo Yeon's plane took off to the sky.
He only wished Team Alpha could fulfill their duty keeping his woman safe.
