Author's Note:

I plan to write a full chapter of their wedding, but later changed during the writing process. The wedding will happen in the next chapter.

Also, thanks to DOTS, I also learn about military ranks and all that, just like Mo Yeon.

Kang Mo Yeon and Yoo Si Jin's Wedding (Part 1)

D-25 (Invitation)

"Colonel Kim Jong Ho...Colonel...Colonel...Field-grade officer...that means his rank is in front of his name," Mo Yeon mumbled while scrolling over military rank information on her laptop.

Si Jin only smiled next to her.

They were spending their Sunday afternoon writing names for their wedding invitations. Si Jin and Mo Yeon finally decided to use their wedding invitation in English rather than in Korean, so they could give or send the invitations in time. Not to mention they had to send two invitations to Urk for Fatima and to Canada for Daniel and Ye-hwa. Mo Yeon wanted to send an invitation to the hospital in Urk where she was helping the UN doctors, but she wasn't sure the doctors were still there.

As Mo Yeon said earlier, the military protocols dictated different ways to write the ranks and names of the soldiers in the base. Since Si Jin was a Major and considered a senior officer, his rank was in front of his name, the same also for his superiors while the others below him, their ranks were written behind their names.

"It's been a year. Do you think Daniel and Ye-hwa already had children?" Mo Yeon asked, her eyes still glued on her laptop screen.

Si Jin pursed his lips, writing another name on the invitation. "Maybe. Why did you ask?"

Mo Yeon shrugged. "Just curious. They never contacted us. Knowing Daniel, he's probably busy." Her fingers scrolled on the keyboard. "You said you're a Major, right? You only need two promotions to become a Colonel and then, you can become a Brigadier General."

Si Jin only nodded while continue writing the names.

"Are you going to be a General like Myeong Ju's father?"

Si Jin stilled and then, looked at Mo Yeon who already stared at him. "Are you ok with that? I mean, me become a General?"

The doctor smiled. "Of course, I'm ok with that." She grinned. "I just can't imagined I get to know a General who is afraid of fish."

And then, she laughed, making Si Jin shook his head. He also laughed along with her. "You are ruthless," he said.

Mo Yeon grinned and then, her smiled disappeared when she noticed two names on the guest list. "Mr. Han and Yoon Gi?"

Si Jin shrugged. "I invited them."

Mo Yeon's shoulders slumped. "Why?"

"Well, because Mr. Han is your director and Yoon Gi is your senior."

The doctor narrowed her eyes. "You do know I had unpleasant memories with them. Why did you invite them?"

"Just to let them know you are finally become mine and they better step away from you. After you become my wife, the army will treat you just like one of us. Those two men better be careful," Si Jin said in clipped tone.

Mo Yeon smiled and leaned her head on Si Jin's shoulder, looking at him. "What is it?" She knew if there was something in Si Jin's mind.

The Major sighed. "Do you have any idea how I felt when I found out the real reason you were in Urk? I told you before I wasn't letting you go to date a guy like him." Si Jin's eyes glinted. "He was lucky when I met him in the elevator, I didn't do anything to him. If he only knew what kind of things I would do to him every time I remember he took you to a hotel."

The doctor sighed softly and wrapped her arms around Si Jin while the latter leaned his head on top of Mo Yeons' head. "No, I was not dating him, but yes, I'm so glad he sent me to Urk. I could see you again. That's the bright side."

Si Jin took a deep breath and hugged Mo Yeon. "Yes, and that's the only reason why I spared him when I saw him. As much as I hate him, he's the one who has brought you to me."

Mo Yeon smiled and then, leaned away. "And Yoon Gi?"

The Major only shrugged. "Just a payback. You only introduced my name to him, but not my job. I can imagine his face when he receives this invitation."

"I don't want to give this to him. No way."

"We can send it," Si Jin said.

The doctor grimaced. "I don't want to do anything with him anymore, mostly after what happened in the reunion. We can send it anonymous."

"Good idea."

"You can ask Team Alpha to send it. I think they are good in tracking address, just like they did to me when they sent the chocolates."

Si Jin froze. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "What chocolates?"

Mo Yeon blinked, realizing her slip of tongue. "Umm...they sent me chocolates after I returned from Urk. They gave me one too when I was in the Medicube. It was just a present, I think. Nothing more."

The Major didn't move before pulling out his phone and dialed a number. "Captain Lee, I need to talk to you."

Mo Yeon sighed.

She forgot Si Jin could be dangerous when his jealous side came into the surface.

She probably needed to apologize to Captain Lee later.

D-15 (Rehearsal)

Si Jin and Mo Yeon arrived at the military academy by noon. This was the first time for the doctor visited the academy ever. They decided this place would become their venue because Si Jin was graduated from the academy, the place where he started his military career. For Mo Yeon, it was an honor for her to share the happiest moment in their life in the place where so important for Si Jin. Their ceremony would be held at the chapel and the reception at the hall. Military wedding basically had the same ceremony as civilian's, the difference only the protocols and traditions. Of course, the infamous tradition was the arch of sabres. They would use sabres because Si Jin's service station was in the army.

That day, they visited the chapel and met with the officer who would become their chaplain. The chaplain explained to them the process of the ceremony and Mo Yeon and Si Jin rehearsed to walk under the arch. There would be ten officers to do the arch and they decided to do it inside and outside the chapel, and inside the hall before the reception. One thing which made Mo Yeon reluctant was the gentle "swat" on the rump by the end of the arch ritual.

"Must he do that? Whoever he is?" Mo Yeon asked after they went home and had dinner together.

Si Jin shrugged. "It's a tradition."

Mo Yeon squinted her eyes. "Very odd tradition."

The Major chuckled. "It's the part of welcoming you to the army. The arch is a symbolic pledge of loyalty to us from the army family. That was why I told you the army will treat you as one of us after we married."

"And these officers?"

"Only commissioned officers who allowed to do the arch."

"That means..."

"Yes, from Second Lieutenant until General himself can do the arch," Si Jin answered.

"Do you know who will do the arch?"

Si Jin shook his head. "It's the army policy to assign those officers. We will find out before the ceremony."

Mo Yeon blew a breath. "I just hope it's not your fish-face Commander who will swat my rump," she said, making Si Jin laughed.

And another thing which made Mo Yeon grimaced was the dance.

She was told she and Si Jin would dance at the reception, their first dance as husband and wife.

"I can't dance," she said to Si Jin plainly.

"So am I," he said.

"I don't believe you."

"At least we can laugh together if we step into each other foot."

That probably wouldn't be so bad.

D-10 (The Bridesmaids and Invitation Deliveries)

10 more days to her wedding day and at lunch, Mo Yeon sat at the cafeteria along with her bridesmaids..well...her soon-to-be bridesmaids, Nurse Ha, Nurse Choi, Dr. Pyo, and Eun Jung So, an intern under her supervision. Mo Yeon couldn't think of anyone else to become her bridesmaid. Dr. Kim? Of course not.

"How do they like? This is my first time to be around with soldiers," Jung So said worriedly.

Mo Yeon smiled reassuringly. "They are nice people. Ask these nurses and Dr. Pyo. They'll tell you. Don't be intimidated by their uniforms and guns. They are actually very sweet."

Dr. Pyo almost scoffed. "Yes, they are sweet. If not, you're not getting married with that Major."

Mo Yeon grinned. "That's the point."

"Who is my partner in the ceremony?" the intern asked Mo Yeon.

"Sergeant Im. He's the member of Special Forces. Actually, Dr. Pyo and Nurse Choi's partner are also the members of Special Forces. My fiance is their former captain."

"So, we only to get ready at the venue before noon to prepare ourselves and then, the ceremony would begin in the afternoon. Is that right?" Nurse Ha asked.

Mo Yeon nodded. "Yes, that's right. We will take some pictures too."

"What will the soldiers wear? Suits and ties?" Dr. Pyo asked.

Mo Yeon grinned. "No, they will wear their dress uniform."

Dr. Pyo squinted her eyes. "I have bad feelings if you grin like that. Are these uniforms so good and can cause you grinning like that?"

"They look good in that uniform."

"Have you seen they wear that uniform?"

"I've seen Si Jin wore that in Urk." Mo Yeon suddenly blushed, remembering her wine kiss.

Dr. Pyo raised her eyebrows. "I don't want to know the reason behind your blush," she said while the others were snickering.

Mo Yeon cleared her throat. "Anyway, the dresses are already finished. It will be in the venue on the day of the ceremony. If you don't have anything to ask, I want to deliver the invitations."

Their small meeting ended and Mo Yeon started to give her wedding invitation to all the departments of Haesung Hospital. She also gave one personally to Chi Hun and his wife. The young doctor, of course, so excited and said he wanted to see the famous arch of sabres. Mo Yeon could only rolled her eyes on that.

The doctor only blew a breath when she realized there was only one invitation left on her hand.

It was for Mr. Han.

Taking a deep breath, she walked into the director's office and knocked the door. She walked in when Mr. Han said so.

The Director looked surprise when he saw her.

Mo Yeon didn't show any emotions while standing in front of the man whom she hated, but also owed for giving her the chance to meet with her soldier again.

"Dr. Kang! What a surprise? Anything I could help you with?" he said with his wolfish remarks.

Mo Yeon only stepped forward and put down her invitation on the desk.

Mr. Han raised his eyebrows and pulled out the invitation from the envelope. His eyebrows shot up. "Major Yoo Si Jin? He's not the Captain anymore?"

"No," Mo Yeon answered shortly.

The Director laughed lightly. "My ego was still bruised because you choose that soldier over me. I already thought I had my chance when we thought he was dead."

Mo Yeon took a deep breath. "He's a good man. That's why I choose him. Actually, he is the one who invited you, not me. You can come or not, but if I suggest you choose the latter, Mr. Han."

"I can be a good man too."

Mo Yeon smiled. "You already ruined your chance by the time you took me to the hotel." She went silent before continuing again, "And you might receive my resignation letter in the future. Again. Good day, Mr. Han."

Without another word, Mo Yeon quickly got out from the room before leaning on the wall and pulled out her phone.

She typed a message to Si Jin.

Mission accomplished.

Moments later her soldier replied.

Did he give you a hard time?

Mo Yeon typed again.

No, he only said he could be a good man too.

Si Jin replied.

Why did he say that? Are you complementing him?

Mo Yeon rolled her eyes.

No, I'm complementing you. Gosh, I can't believe you're the former Captain of Team Alpha. Are you free this afternoon? Let's have dinner together.

Another reply.

Yes, Ma'am.

D-8 (The Announcement)

The wedding day was coming closer and yet, Mo Yeon didn't tell everyone on her show about it. She knew she had to do it soon. She also knew she couldn't tell them who was her soon-to-be-husband. She understood it could be endanger Si Jin if he was on a mission, for people could recognize him. So, when she had to do an episode filming, she asked the host to bring up another topic about boyfriend.

"We've missed you these several episodes, Dr. Kang. We heard you were sent to Urk again for humanity service. Is that true?" The host asked after they finished answering questions from the viewers.

"Yes, that's true," Mo Yeon answered while smiling.

"You are a busy woman. I know you said you didn't have a boyfriend, but is that true? A beautiful doctor like you, I'm sure there's a man out there who can win your heart."

Mo Yeon's heart thumping wildly.

It was now or never.

"Actually, I do have a fiance. We're going to get married soon."

All the people in the room gasped, even the cameraman and the host while the doctor tried not to laugh.

The host was trying to smile and then asked her, "Wow, this is quite a surprise. Why did you tell us you have no boyfriend before?"

"We are trying to be low profile, but now I have to make the announcement I'm going to get married with him. I think it's the right thing to do."

"Who is your fiance? A doctor?"

Mo Yeon smiled. "No."

"Oh."

Mo Yeon's eyes stared at the camera, communicating silently to Si Jin if he ever watched her show. "He's a wonderful and good man. That's all I can say."

That night, her doorbell rang and Mo Yeon opened it, finding Si Jin stood behind it, before he held her nape and pushed her on the wall while closing the door. He didn't say anything, only kissed her hard. Mo Yeon was surprised, but later she kissed Si Jin in return when she realized he didn't intent to startle her, only to kiss. He pulled her closer to him, making her body tingled.

Si Jin ended his kiss and trying to breath while Mo Yeon opened her eyes. She smiled. "What was that for?"

The Major smiled back. "For your announcement. Thank you for not revealing who I am."

Mo Yeon gave Si Jin her famous glare. "I've been around with Special Forces guy a lot. Of course, I know about your secrecy."

Si Jin only chuckled. "Clever girl."

Mo Yeon sighed. "If only I tell them about you sooner, I don't mind if I get a kiss like that."

The Major eyed her slyly. "I know I made the right decision to keep dating you."

Mo Yeon only laughed before Si Jin kissed her again.

D-6 (The Girls Visit The Venue)

Mo Yeon along with the girls arrived at the academy around noon. They were asking for several hours break from the hospital, that was why Nurse Ha and Nurse Choi were wearing their nurses uniform. Myeong Ju, too, already arrived at the academy with her green uniform.

"We look like we're going to a parade," Myeong Ju said after watching them with their working clothes, minus Mo Yeon and Jung So who already took off their white jacket.

Mo Yeon chuckled. "That's a good idea."

Myeong Ju and Mo Yeon walked on the front while the others behind them. Jung So watched Dr. Kang chatted with the female soldier like old friends and that peaked her curiosity.

"Are they friends?" she asked Nurse Ha in low voice.

The nurse nodded. "They went into the same university before Lieutenant Yoon went to the academy. Her boyfriend is also a soldier. Both Lieutenant and her boyfriend are friends with Major Yoo and Dr. Kang."

"I've never seen Major Yoo that you guys talking about. He's never been to the hospital to see Dr. Kang?"

"He did, but rarely came with his uniform. If he is off duty, sometimes we get to see him with Dr. Kang in the hospital," Nurse Ha said again.

"Oh...I see." Jung So pursed her lips. "Is that true Dr. Kang met her fiance while in Urk?"

"No," Nurse Ha answered for the young intern. "I heard from Dr. Pyo, they already met before that."

"Ah..."

The girls were in the academy to visit the venue and for the final briefing before the ceremony. According to Myeong Ju, the men already did the same the day before.

"So, how does it feel? Your wedding is getting closer," Myeong Ju said to Mo Yeon when they walked out from the reception hall, the others were a bit far behind them.

"Excited. Nervous. I don't know..." Mo Yeon chuckled.

The General's daughter grinned. "Dae-young said Si Jin is really nervous. He keeps worrying you will change your mind in the last minute."

Mo Yeon rolled her eyes. "He could be overreacting sometimes." And then, she glanced at Myeong Ju playfully. "That could be a great idea for not showing up at the wedding."

Myeong Ju blinked and then, smiled. "You are a wise woman."

They both laughed before Mo Yeon sighed. "No, I won't do that to him. He already waited long enough for me. I want to make him happy."

Myeong Ju smiled again and wrapped her arm around Mo Yeon's shoulders. "You already did when you accepted him for who he was." And then, she turned serious. "Just remember, he will protect you at any costs. He already defied the rules twice for you, he can do that again in the future if necessary. So, don't be surprised if that happens. Just...don't shut him out when his Special Forces side comes out, ok?"

Mo Yeon grinned. "Is this a marriage advice from the general's daughter?"

Myeong Ju grinned in return.

The doctor smiled tenderly. "No. Whatever happens, I'm not going to shut him out. Don't worry." Mo Yeon knew what Myeong Ju meant. She had seen Si Jin when he rescued her from Private Ryan. If it wasn't for the bomb, he would shot her kidnapper on the spot.

Both of girls sighed and looked over the academy before Myeong Ju nudged Mo Yeon's shoulder with her fist, like Si Jin always do.

"Welcome to the army, Dr. Kang."

D-4 (The Talk)

Four days to her wedding day and Mo Yeon was really nervous. She already asked for a break for two weeks from the hospital. After they married, she and Si Jin would spend time together before returning to their work schedules. People said it was honeymoon, but Mo Yeon preferred just spending time together. She felt awkward with the honeymoon thing.

Si Jin, too, already asked for a leave for two weeks. Just like Mo Yeon, he also felt awkward with the honeymoon term. Today, he and Mo Yeon were spending the time before they would be busy from the wedding ceremony. Although, there were no rules about bride and groom not to see each other before the ceremony, but Mo Yeon's mother insisted both of them to spend time with each other family before tying the knot.

Si Jin took Mo Yeon to a beach, strolling on the sand and then, sat next to each other on the beach rocks. "I know it's not the same as our beach in Urk, but at least I can take you here," he said to Mo Yeon.

The doctor only smiled. "I never knew you love beach so much and yet, you afraid of fish."

Si Jin only rolled his eyes. "Must you bring that up again?"

Mo Yeon grinned. "What? Are you going to cancel the wedding just because I tease you about your phobia of fish? I will tease you forever, you know? Are you sure you won't regret marrying a woman who will tease you like that?"

The Major sighed and looked deeply at Mo Yeon. "You really know how to start a conversation, do you know that?" He leaned closer. "You want to tease me? Then, do it. I don't mind."

The doctor chuckled and then, took a deep breath. "We are really getting married, aren't we?"

Si Jin looked at Mo Yeon playfully. "And now you are the one who have doubt about our marriage."

Mo Yeon raised her eyebrows. "Hmm...a bird told me you are so nervous and keeps worrying I will change my mind."

Si Jin froze. "Who...who told you that?"

"I have my resources."

"Is it Sergeant Seo?"

"Why would Sergeant Seo talk to me? You already went berserk when Team Alpha sent me chocolates."

"So, is it Myeong Ju?"

"Gosh..."

"It's her, isn't it? She really had the nerve..."

Mo Yeon smiled. "Stop that. I found it very cute you could be nervous. You have to know that there's nothing you should worry about. I won't change my mind."

Si Jin took a deep breath. "Okay..."

"Do you think Daniel, Ye-hwa, and Fatima will come?"

"I hope they will."

The doctor looked again at the ocean. "How do you think our life will be after we get married?"

Si Jin smiled. "We will be happy, I'm sure of it."

Mo Yeon took a deep breath and looked again at Si Jin. "Do you always want to become a soldier or is it because your dad?"

Mo Yeon actually wanted to ask since Myeong Ju talked about children. She knew Myeong Ju and Si Jin's family background and she always wonder if her child someday would follow Si Jin's footsteps and became a soldier. Would Si Jin want their child to be like him just like he did with his father?

Si Jin tilted his head. "Why did you ask? Are you asking this because maybe someday our children will follow my path as a soldier or I told them to become one?"

Mo Yeon suddenly covered her face with her hands. "Oh gosh...this is so embarrassing. Just forget my question earlier." She shouldn't asked this kind of question.

The Major only smiled and held Mo Yeon's hands, making her staring at his face. "I want to become a soldier because my own decision, not my father's. I will do it to our children too. If they want to follow my path, I will support them and if they want to follow yours, I'll also support them. Even if they choose not to become a soldier or a doctor, I'll still give them my support."

"And now, you're talking about children. We're not even married yet," Mo Yeon grumbled, making Si Jin laughed.

"You brought it up first."

"You said 'they'. Do you want to have more than one?" Mo Yeon asked boldly, this time making Si Jin blushed.

He scratched his head nervously. "Um...well...yes, but...uh...maybe we can see about that later."

Mo Yeon tried not to laugh and gave Si Jin a peck on his lips. "I'm the one who will give birth to your children, so just wait for my signal, ok?"

Si Jin blinked, still blushing. "Ok...are you saying you are okay with more than one?"

The doctor laughed. "You are unbelievable." She pursed her lips and then, cleared her throat. If they already talked about children, then they had to talk about this. "I know this is silly, but have you ever...I mean..."

The Major smirked. "What? Are you asking if I ever been with a woman before?"

Mo Yeon blushed hard.

Si Jin smiled. "You said for yourself I'm old-fashioned. Well, that's what I am."

"I'm sorry...it's just...you know, you're a soldier and sometimes you are far away from home and..."

The Major chuckled and held Mo Yeon's shoulders. "I'm not that kind of soldier, ok?" And then, he eyed Mo Yeon playfully. "What about you? Have you ever..."

"Are you kidding me? You heard what my mother said. No men went further than to hold my wrist. I was sane enough, so Mr. Han sent me to Urk," she said defensively.

"I'm so glad you were sane enough, so we could meet with each other again," he said in low voice.

Mo Yeon went silent and blew a breath. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't be. I know we need to talk about this sooner or later," Si Jin said again.

The doctor nodded and caressed Si Jin's cheek. "In four more days, I will become your wife."

Si Jin held Mo Yeon's hand which caressing his cheek. "In four more days, I will become your husband. I've been waiting for this moment since we were on relationship."

"Oh you..."

"I love you," he said.

Mo Yeon smiled. "Roger that."

Si Jin leaned closer and kissed Mo Yeon, sealing the moment just like they did when they returned the peeble in Urk.

In three more days, it would be the happiest moment in their life.
