Kang Mo Yeon and Team Alpha (Part 2)

The flight was just like the first time she went to Urk.

Long and exhausting.

By the time they arrived at Urk International Airport, it was already afternoon. The weather was not so hot. This time they didn't need to wait too long for the army chopper arrived only ten minutes after their plane landed.

"Hmm...I'm beginning to think having a connection in the army gives a lot of advantages," Dr. Song said while winking to Mo Yeon and the latter only rolled her eyes. Behind them, the rest of team only giggled.

The Haesung Medical Team watched the chopper landed, and five men walked out from the chopper with their brown uniform.

"Is it me or I sense a deja vu here?" Mo Yeon asked in low voice watching the five soldiers approaching them.

"It is a deja vu if the Captain is Captain Yoo," Nurse Ha replied.

Hearing Nurse Ha's answer, Mo Yeon focused on the soldier in the middle. The man was tall, as tall as Si Jin, he was quite handsome too, from his eyes Mo Yeon could tell he was smart, perhaps smarter than the former Captain. He was probably around Si Jin's age too.

"Haesung Medical Team?" The Captain asked.

"Yes," Mo Yeon answered.

The Captain gave her a salute. "I'm Captain Lee Joon Ha. It's very nice meeting you. I heard this is not the first time for you visiting Urk so I believe you know the procedure."

"Yeah...yeah..." Dr. Song said and opened his luggage. "Give me that bag," he said to Sergeant Choi who already carried army bags.

Captain Lee only blinked in surprise while Mo Yeon smiled. "Yes, you are right, Captain. This is not our first time." The doctor looked over to the rest of Team Alpha. "Hello, it's very nice to meet you all." She smiled to Dae-young. "And it's really nice to meet you again, Sergeant Seo."

Dae-young smiled and gave him a little bow. "It's nice to meet you too, Dr. Kang."

Mo Yeon quickly opened her luggage and began to remove all her things to the bag, the rest of the team did the same thing. The five soldiers waited for them to finish before they carried the bags to the chopper.

Mo Yeon, as the team leader, turned to Captain Lee. "Is there anything else that you want to tell us?"

Joon Ha only smiled. "No, Ma'am. Of course you know we're here to protect your team until you return to Korea."

The doctor nodded. "Yeah, Si Jin told me that. Thank you."

Joon Ha blinked. "The Major?"

Mo Yeon only chuckled and walked away from the Captain. Dae-young only sighed and wrapped his arm around Joon Ha's shoulders.

"Don't you even know who she is?" he said.

"Who?"

Dae-young looked at Joon Ha incredulously. "Haven't you read the fax from the military base?"

"No."

The Sergeant only rolled his eyes. "I know you're clever, but reading a fax is useful in many cases." He tapped the Captain's chest. "She is Dr. Kang Mo Yeon, Major Yoo's fiancee."

"Huh?"

"Yes, Major Yoo asked us specifically to give her protection so it's best not making him angry. You know how he is when he is not in good mood."

Joon Ha only blew a breath. "Ah, yes. He told me about protecting someone special to him. So, that's her? Damn...she is beautiful."

This time Sergeant Choi answered, "You're lucky the Major is not here and heard what you said earlier."

Joon Ha ran a hand on his hair. "This is going to be the long two weeks."

When they arrived at the camp, the day already turned night. Captain Lee told them to take a rest and had some shower before they could eat dinner. Mo Yeon walked to her tent and sat on her bed before looking around. The memories when she spent her first time in Urk flashed in her mind, it was beautiful and memorable moments. She opened her bag and pulled out her favorite candle, lit it to give her comfort. The doctor sat again and fingered the necklace which Si Jin gave her. When she thought Si Jin was dead, she put the necklace hidden in the box in her room, and now after he came back alive, Mo Yeon wore the necklace again.

Speaking of Si Jin, Mo Yeon grabbed her phone and pressed the speed dial. Si Jin answered it on the first ring.

"Salute."

Mo Yeon smiled and lay on the bed. "I'm arrived. Safe and sound."

She could hear Si Jin blew a breath of relief.

"I was so worried when you didn't call an hour ago. What time is it now in Urk?"

"Umm...I don't know. I haven't set the time yet, but it's already night. We've just arrived at the camp."

"So, you already meet the team and the new captain?"

Mo Yeon nodded although Si Jin couldn't see it. "Yes. The new Captain is very much like you, but I think he is smarter."

"You just met him and you praise him? You're hurting my feelings."

The doctor chuckled. "That means the former Captain is also smart and of course more handsome than this one."

"Oh...okay then."

Mo Yeon could only laugh. "I'll call you again later after we already settled everything. I still need to check the Medicube tomorrow morning."

"Go have a rest. Call me whenever."

"I will."

She swept the end button and blew a breath.

"Knock...knock."

Mo Yeon raised her head and saw Captain Lee outside her tent. She quickly rose and walked outside. "Yes?"

Joon Ha cleared his throat. "I just heard about you from Sergeant Seo. I didn't know you're Major Yoo's fiancee. I'm sorry if I didn't acknowledge you earlier."

The doctor smiled. "It's alright. I'm not holding grudge over something like that. It's really nice to know you, Captain."

"The pleasure is mine."

"So, you know Si Jin?"

Joon Ha smiled back. "He is my senior in the academy. I graduated a year after him."

"Oh, I see."

"If I may ask, how do you know Major Yoo?"

Mo Yeon tilted her head and smiled wistfully. "It's a long story, but Urk is very special place for us. Didn't the rest of the team tell you about me and Si Jin?"

Joon Ha shooked his head. "We've never shared personal life, Ma'am."

"Ah..." Mo Yeon's eyes twinkled. "Please, call me Dr. Kang. Ma'am is not really suit me."

The Captain chuckled. "Alright, Dr. Kang."

"That's better. So, if I already had the schedule for the medical team, I should tell you?"

Joon Ha nodded. "Yes, please. If you need transportation to town or anywhere needed for the meeting with the government, we will accompany you."

"Thank you. I'll let you know tomorrow," Mo Yeon said again.

The Captain didn't say anything only slightly bowed and turned around.

Mo Yeon only sighed.

She really needed a shower.

The next morning, the girls were up early to see the soldiers had their morning run. They definitely won't missed the opportunity. After preparing themselves and had breakfast, Mo Yeon and her team were busy at the Medicube, listing and checking the medicines and equipments. The team were almost skipped lunch if it was not for Sergeant Gong who reminded them it was lunch time. When they were having lunch, Captain Lee came to the dining hall and gave Mo Yeon a fax from Urk government, requesting her presence the day after tomorrow. After lunch, Mo Yeon held a meeting with her team.

"Since this is just a brief meeting, I will go with Dr. Song. The rest of the team stay in the Medicube," Mo Yeon said.

"You both will go alone?" Chi Hun asked.

Mo Yeon shook her head. "No, we will be accompanied. Urk is not really a safe place to wander around."

"Just be careful, Dr. Kang. I was so worried when Urk polices took you away with Fatima and when Major Yoo asked if it's really them," Nurse Choi frowned. "And later, we found out you've been kidnapped."

The team's mood suddenly changed. The doctor smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I'm not going to repeat the same mistake. Besides, do you think Si Jin will just let me go like that? I'm sure he already threatened all the soldiers in this camp to keep their eyes on us."

Nurse Choi pursed her lips. "You're right."

"Alright. This meeting is over. Return to your posts. I need to tell Captain Lee about this," Mo Yeon said and rose from her seat.

The team splitted up with Mo Yeon walked to the main tent. She saw Captain Lee along with Sergeant Seo. Joon Ha approached her when he saw her.

"Dr. Kang."

Mo Yeon nodded. "I just want to tell you I will go with Dr. Song to the meeting with the government."

Joon Ha nodded and took the fax from Mo Yeon's hand. "I know where the place is. Sergeant Seo and I will accompany you."

"Thank you very much."

"No problem."

Mo Yeon looked thoughtful. "Um...can I ask for help to take me to town? There's someone I want to meet."

The Captain quickly agreed and they both went using a car from the camp. Joon Ha raised his eyebrows when he found out the destination.

"Tavern? I didn't know your friend stay here," he said.

Mo Yeon smiled and got out from the car.

The tavern was the same, the chairs, the interiors, all of them. Her eyes sought Fatima before meeting face to face with one person she didn't really like, and she had no choice but to like her.

"You're here. What a suprise." Valentine smiled sweetly to Joon Ha. "Who is this? New boyfriend?"

Mo Yeon blew a breath. "No, he is the new captain. Where's Fatima?"

Valentine's eyebrows shot up. "Oh, I see." She smiled cheekily which made Mo Yeon having goosebumps. "You do really like a guy with a gun." The owner of the tavern tilted her head and Mo Yeon saw Fatima in the corner of the room, wiping a table.

The doctor's eyes lit up and quickly approached the Urk girl, leaving Joon Ha with Valentine.

"You know her?" Joon Ha asked.

Valentine shrugged. "The former Captain fonds her very much." She glanced at Joon Ha sexily. "So, who are you?"

The Captain only cleared his throat. "I'm the new Captain. The former Captain already promoted to Major and I replaced him."

"I see." She handed Joon Ha a menu. "Drink?"

Joon Ha only smiled. "Soldiers don't drink when they are on duty."

Valentine sighed dramatically. "You are very different from him, but okay." She winked at Joon Ha before leaving him sitting alone on a chair while the Captain watched Mo Yeon talked with Fatima.

"My school is okay. Thank you for paying my tuition," Fatima said in Korean.

Mo Yeon smiled. "You're welcome and thank you for the Christmas card, Fatima. I'm glad Valentine is a good guardian to you and you speak Korean too. That's very good."

The girl blushed. "I just want to talk to you without any language difficulties."

"Well, you learn really well."

Fatima glanced at Joon Ha over Mo Yeon's shoulder. "Who is he? Where is the Captain?"

Mo Yeon chuckled. "He is the new captain. Si Jin already promoted to Major so he can't spend time with us like before. But, he will be here next week. We will visit you."

Fatima nodded and then, grinned. "So, when are you getting married?"

The doctor blinked. "W-what? Married?"

The girl pointed at her engagement ring. "The former Captain gave that to you, didn't he?"

Mo Yeon almost slapped her forehead. Fatima only giggled and held Mo Yeon's hand. "I'm so happy for you. If you can give me happiness, then I want you to have one too."

The doctor smiled and caressed Fatima's hair. "Thank you."

They talked for a while before Mo Yeon had to return to the camp. She bid goodbye to Fatima and Valentine and left the town with Joon Ha. She was enjoying the scenery when Joon Ha asked, "Who is the girl?"

Mo Yeon turned her head to Joon Ha. "Who? Valentine?"

Joon Ha chuckled. "No, the other girl."

"Oh, she's Fatima," Mo Yeon answered shortly.

The Captain pursed his lips when Mo Yeon didn't say anything afterwards. He knew there were stories behind Mo Yeon's friendship with the two girls. "Do you like keeping me guessing or do you like keeping a secret?"

"Huh?"

Joon Ha chuckled. "It's nothing."

Mo Yeon watched Joon Ha closely. "So, how many missions have you had since you become the new Captain of Team Alpha?"

The Captain looked at Mo Yeon in surprise, meeting with her knowing smile. Joon Ha laughed lightly. "What is this? An information for an information?"

The doctor shrugged. "I think it's fair enough. You wanted to know about those girls so I need to know about yours." She glanced at Joon Ha again. "How many?"

Joon Ha shook his head in disbelief while still driving. "You can be intelligent resource for the army if you ever joined us."

Mo Yeon nodded animatedly. "Yeah, that was what the General and Si Jin told me. They said I'm army material."

"You've met the General?"

The doctor only chuckled.

Joon Ha, again, stunned. He only met Mo Yeon for one day, but this woman already surprised him. And then, he smiled in recognition. "I guess you did. Not many people can be attached to the member of Special Forces. I'm sure you already knew what kind of mission we had."

The doctor blew a breath. "Most of it. Add with the time I thought Si Jin was dead."

The Captain smiled grimly. "I'm sorry."

"No, don't be. I'm just glad he's alright." Mo Yeon glanced again at Joon Ha. "So, girlfriend?"

Joon Ha laughed again. "You just don't give up, do you?"

Mo Yeon only grinned and turned her head again to the window. Joon Ha glanced at her and smiled. He began to understand why Major Yoo could fall for this woman.

The next day, all the members of medical team scattered around the camp, carrying the walkie talkie with them, so they could contact each other. Mo Yeon was busy typing a presentation with Dr. Song, while both nurses were in the Medicube and Chi Hun finally met with Blackey. When the day turned night, Mo Yeon was sitting on the dining room with Dr. Song's laptop in front of her, evaluating the presentation when her phone vibrated. She took her phone and smiled when Si Jin's call sign appeared on the screen.

"Hey."

"Are you that busy so you can't even call me these two days?"

Mo Yeon only smiled. She could imagine Si Jin's pouty face. "I'm sorry. I need to prepare for my presentation tomorrow. How are you?"

"I'm good. How are you? You don't get into trouble yet, do you?"

"Aissh...of course not. Anyway, I visited Fatima yesterday. She asked about you. I think you should visit her when you come here next week."

"Oh...okay."

The doctor raised her eyebrows. "You don't ask me whether I went to town alone or not."

"Oh yes...were you alone?"

Mo Yeon squinted her eyes, suspecting something. "No. I went with Captain Lee."

"You didn't drink with him, did you?"

"Gosh...this man is unbelievable. Is that what you've been thinking in the time like this? I'm in Urk, Major, not Seoul, and I'm also in mission."

"I'm sorry. I believe you. Dae-young told me you and Dr. Song will go with him and Captain Lee tomorrow to the meeting. Be safe."

Mo Yeon smiled. "We will. Don't worry."

"Dr. Kang..."

Mo Yeon blinked. "Yes?"

"If anything happens, please listen to the Captain. Promise me!"

Mo Yeon sighed. "Yes, I promise. I'll call you tomorrow after the meeting, okay?"

"Okay. Sleep well. I know it's night time there. I love you."

"I love you."

Mo Yeon held her phone after Si Jin disconnected the call, feeling curious of what could have happened tomorrow.

The next day, Mo Yeon and Dr. Song went to the center of the town along with Joon Ha and Dae-young. Mo Yeon dressed formally for this was a formal meeting. She wore black pants, white shirt along with black blazer, she was wearing flat shoes and let her hair loose. Dr. Song also wore shirt and matching trousers. By the time they arrived at the destination, it was an old and worn building, cars and people with guns were seen in front of the building. If only it was not for the sign in the front stated it was government building, Mo Yeon thought she was in one of The Haunted Villages.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Dr. Song asked.

"Do you think this is a trap?" Dae-young asked Joon Ha.

The Captain, trained to always calculate the situation, looked around and shook his head. "No, this is the place. Those men probably mercenaries, but they are on the government side. If not, they already stopped our car since we arrived at the front gate." Joon Ha looked over to Mo Yeon and Dr. Song. "If anything happens, go inside the car and drive."

"But, what about you?" Mo Yeon asked with wide eyes.

Joon Ha stared at Dae-young. "We will hold them."

"What?"

"Listen, Dr. Kang. Just do as I said. I'm sure Major Yoo said that to you, right?"

"How did you know?"

"This is not the time for that," Joon Ha said again. "Our mission is to protect you. That means you and Dr. Song are our top priority. Please, don't make our job more difficult."

Mo Yeon looked at the building in front of her and at the two soldiers in the car. She took a deep breath. "Alright. Let's just hope it doesn't have to turn out that way." She looked over to Dr. Song. "Ready, senior?"

Dr. Song nodded. "Let's go." He grabbed his bag. "It's a good thing Ja-ae already opened that secret folder."

The four of them got out from the car and sensed all the stares on them. Mo Yeon and Dr. Song walked behind the two soldiers, staying alert with all the people around them. They looked at them with curious eyes, but didn't make any moves to shoot or attack, which made Joon Ha felt a bit relieved. A man appeared behind the front door of the building and smiled. He was in the middle of 40s, wearing formal clothes, didn't affect at all by the people with the guns outside.

"The doctors from Korea?" he asked.

They glanced at each other before Mo Yeon stepped forward. "Yes, I'm Dr. Kang Mo Yeon and this is Dr. Song Sang-hyun. We're from Haesung Medical Team."

The man smiled and moved forward. He extended his hand and shook Mo Yeon's hand. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Alec. We've been waiting for you. Please, come in. I'm sorry if those men making you uncomfortable. The government hasn't prepared for the new building yet since it was destroyed from the war."

Mo Yeon smiled. "It's ok."

She glanced at the two soldiers and Joon Ha nodded in approval. Dr. Song also stepped forward and walked next to Mo Yeon. Joon Ha and Dae-young walked behind the two doctors and kept their guard high. The two soldiers kept following the doctors until they reached a room. Alec politely asked the soldiers to wait outside the room. After checking it was only ordinary room with no hidden doors, Joon Ha gave his approval to the doctors to begin their meeting.

While the soldiers were waiting outside, both doctors showed their reports and researches to Urk government. They also had a brief discussion on how to treat a patient with M3 virus. Alec was very interested on their reports and invited them to the nearby hospital to observe some patients who had been suspected with the M3 virus. Mo Yeon and Dr. Song agreed and Alec gave them schedule for the day after tomorrow. When the meeting ended, the doctors saying their gratitude for the invitation and shook Alec's hand. Joon Ha and Dae-young walked in front of them until they were finally in the car and drove away.

Mo Yeon and Dr. Song blew a breath dramatically.

"Aigoo...that was intense," Dr. Song said, making Joon Ha chuckled.

"I hope you're alright, Doctor," The Captain said with smile in his tone.

Mo Yeon leaned her head on the seat. "I need a drink."

Dae-young glanced sideways to Mo Yeon.

"That's a good idea," Dr. Song said again. "Do you know a good place for us to have a drink?" he asked Joon Ha.

"What about the tavern?" The Captain suggested. "You're coming, Sergeant?"

"I think we need to get to the camp," Dae-young answered in tight voice. "And soldiers don't drink when they are on duty."

"You're not fun," Mo Yeon said while closing her eyes.

"Maybe we can drink later after visiting the hospital," Dr. Song piped in.

"You need to visit the hospital?" Joon Ha asked.

"Yes," Mo Yeon opened her eyes and gave the Captain a paper. "That's the address of the hospital. Do you think you can take us there?"

"Yes, of course."

Mo Yeon closed her eyes and leaned her head again on the car seat. "If only Si Jin didn't forbid me to have a drink with another guy, I already drunk by now," she said making Joon Ha and Dr. Song snickered and Dae-young smiled knowingly.

The doctor opened her eyes and watched the scenery outside.

She knew her adventure in Urk has not yet ended.
