Kang Mo Yeon and Yoo Si Jin's Wedding (Part 2)
D-2 (Moving In)
Two days before the wedding day, Si Jin moved his stuffs into Mo Yeon's place which she thought it was weird. They should just look for bigger place, but Si Jin said he liked being in her place and didn't want to move into a new place.
At least not yet.
To her relief, Si Jin didn't have much stuffs, perhaps being in Special Forces with unpredictable missions, he didn't have much time to collect things and also he basically lived in the base. Mo Yeon was arranging Si Jin's boxes in her room when a stuffed animal caught her eyes. She almost forgot the farewell present given by Myeong Ju before the Lieutenant was dispatched to Urk. Mo Yeon never touched it, for it would remind her to Si Jin, mostly the toy itself wearing army uniform. She slowly took the toy and looked at it, unaware of Si Jin watched her from the door.
Si Jin, however, surprised when he saw the toy. It was the stuffed animal he and Dae-young got two years ago before he met Dr. Kang. The difference was the toy in Dr. Kang's arms had army uniform. Mo Yeon never showed him and being old-fashioned, he never came into Mo Yeon's room. How did she get it?
Slowly, he crept closer and sat next to Mo Yeon while the doctor still looking at the toy with faraway look.
"Where did you get this?" he asked in low voice.
"Is it yours?" she asked in return.
Si Jin looked over the toy. "Yes...well, it was."
Mo Yeon smiled slightly. Her eyes never faltered. "I almost forget about it." She caressed the toy. "This is Captain Yoo's comrade."
Si Jin blinked.
She knew?
"Myeong Ju gave this to me before she was dispatched to Urk as a farewell present. She also had one. She named it Sergeant Seo's girlfriend," Mo Yeon said in low voice. Her eyes brimmed with tears when the memories of losing Si Jin and missing him came into her mind.
Si Jin took a deep breath. That explained everything. Myeong Ju probably took the toys from their barrack.
"I didn't..." She sniffled and Si Jin looked at her in alarm. "I should have just left this toy alone. It reminds me so much of you, but it helps me when I cry in the night. At least, I'm not alone."
Si Jin couldn't take it anymore. He pulled Mo Yeon into his arms while the doctor cried and hugged the toy. His heart clenched painfully. Dr. Kang had been through so much because of him. This moment made him realized she never told him what happened to her during the one year.
"You never told me what happened during that one year," Si Jin quoted Mo Yeon's words in Urk.
The doctor sniffled again and Si Jin tightened his hug. "Sergeant Choi came to the hospital and informed me you were gone and gave me your letter. Later, your fish-face Commander came to my house, asking me to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. I had no choice, but I did sign it. It was not fair for you, but what could I do? After that, I was just doing my job as a doctor before Myeong Ju said she was sent to Urk. At the time, I was thinking the same thing. Should I just move from Seoul? A lot of places remind me of you, even my own place reminds me of you. My living room, my dining room, my favorite candle...I just can't..."
Mo Yeon finally let her feelings out, her bottled up feelings which she forgotten after Si Jin came back. Seeing the animal toy brought the memories again and she didn't realize she was still keep it in her heart. She knew she had to let everything go for she and Si Jin would start a new life together.
Si Jin only hugged Mo Yeon, listening to her cries.
A thousand words of apologies would never enough to redeem what he had done to her, to his beautiful comrade.
The only thing he could do was made her happy and devoted himself to her, who already waited for him, had faith on him, and brave enough to love him again when he returned.
"I'm sorry," he said with raspy voice. "I know it's not enough, but please, allow me to make you happy, Dr. Kang. That's the only thing I know I can do for you. My offer still stands. Live a happy life with me."
Mo Yeon smiled on Si Jin's embrace and nodded, hugging the toy closer to her. "Yes." She closed her eyes, suddenly feeling exhausted. "Please, stay. I don't want to be alone."
Si Jin smiled. "I thought you said I'm old-fashioned."
"Just to sleep, pervert," she said in sleepy voice, making the Major laughed lightly. "I never got the chance to ask you. How did you find me in Albania?"
"I made a call to Haesung from Ukraine embassy and got a favor for a chopper to go to Albania. I was surprised when I couldn't find you, but later someone told me about you went to the desert. And you know the rest of the story."
Mo Yeon sighed. "I was right."
Si Jin furrowed his eyebrows. "What was right?"
"I told Sergeant Choi either you are there to catch me or I'm running to you."
The Major didn't answer, only laying himself on the floor with Mo Yeon on his chest. Si Jin looked over the ceiling. "Do you remember I hold you like this when I joked about the landmine with you?"
Mo Yeon chuckled and snuggled closer. "Yes, I remember. You should have just told me you want to hold me rather than joked about the landmine."
Si Jin grinned and he closed his eyes too. "If I told you that, you would have run away from me."
Mo Yeon smiled. "And you would be there to catch me."
Si Jin wrapped his arms onto Mo Yeon's body, relishing the moment. "Yes, I would."
They both were asleep in no time.
D-1 (I'll Be The One in White)
Si Jin and Mo Yeon went into the academy for the final preparation before the wedding. The chapel and the reception hall were ready for their ceremony tomorrow. To Mo Yeon surprise, the army was very cooperated to help her mother on arranging everything. She once said to Si Jin the army people were rigid, but when it came to her wedding, everyone was very helpful, or perhaps because it was the Major's wedding, so everyone helped them.
Anyway, watching everything ready made Mo Yeon nervous again. Tomorrow, she was no longer alone. She would become a soldier's wife, a Major's wife. Mo Yeon already discussed with Si Jin about her name. She would not change her maiden name for professional purposes. She thought changed her name into Yoo was not very wise move either. Si Jin could be exposed. Si Jin, himself, didn't mind with Mo Yeon still using her maiden name. They both agreed their children someday would use Si Jin's family name.
After checking everything, Si Jin took Mo Yeon home. Preparing for a big day, Mo Yeon's mother would stay in the doctor's place to help her while Si Jin went to his father's house. Si Jin held Mo Yeon's shoulders in the front door.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked.
Mo Yeon raised her eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"
"About marrying me?"
"Are you still have the thought of me changing my mind?"
"Until we say our vows in front of the chaplain, I will still have the doubt."
The doctor smiled. "No, my offer still stands to live a happy life with you."
Si Jin smiled back. "I'll see you tomorrow. Are you sure you can find me among other soldiers who will wear the same uniform?"
Mo Yeon laughed and caressed Si Jin's cheek. "That's easy. I just need to read your mind to find you."
"I know I made the right decision to keep dating you."
The doctor smiled again and looked at Si Jin tenderly. "I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be the one in white."
The latter made Si Jin's heart skipped a beat. He kissed Mo Yeon's forehead deeply and leaned their foreheads together. "I will kiss you when you are officially become my wife. Sleep well for tonight, ok?"
"Ok," Mo Yeon said in low voice.
Mo Yeon watched Si Jin drove away from her place.
She, too, felt her heart skipped a beat.
D-Day (Their Wedding Day)
Mo Yeon couldn't help feeling happy, but also nervous. It was a good thing she could have some sleep the night before. She drove with her mother into the venue at 10:00 and straight into the room which been prepared for the bride. Mo Yeon saw her wedding dress, her veil, and flower. She took a deep breath.
This was really happening.
She was going to get married.
The make-up person started with her hair before doing her make-up. Mo Yeon had light meal as lunch before she had her make-up on. When everything was ready, the make-up person left the room, so Mo Yeon could change into her wedding dress. She stood in front of her dress with her heart beating so rapidly.
Later, her phone buzzed.
It was a message from Dr. Pyo.
All of her bridesmaids were ready.
She smiled and took her dress from the hanger before changing her shirt and pants.
Her wedding dress was simple, with no sleeves, but elegant.
Mo Yeon looked at herself in the mirror and she could see a happy woman staring back at her.
Meanwhile, in another room, Si Jin already wore his uniform, the same as he wore in Urk after the incident with the Arab people. He was still in contact with the Arab agents, he also told them he was getting married. They congratulated him and promised him to do some favors when he needed it.
"Nervous?" Dae-young asked his friend.
Si Jin chuckled. "It will be a lie if I say I'm not."
Dae-young smiled and stood next to Si Jin and held his shoulder. "As your comrade, I want to say congratulations, sir. As your friend, I'm happy you finally find someone by your side."
"Thank you, Sergeant Seo. I hope you will follow my lead and getting married soon."
"Like Myeong Ju said, I need to see her wears the bridesmaid gown first."
Si Jin made a face. "What?"
And then, someone knocked the door and Mo Yeon's mother appeared behind it. Both men were surprised before Dae-young smiled and left the two of them alone.
Mrs. Kang smiled and held Si Jin's shoulders. Her eyes brimmed with tears. "You look so handsome."
The Major blushed slightly.
"I know I already said this to you, but I have to say one more time. Please, take care of my daughter for me."
Si Jin smiled. "I will, Mother."
Mrs. Kang wiped her tears and chuckled. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to cry."
Si Jin laughed lightly and handed Mrs. Kang a tissue.
In Mo Yeon's room, all the bridesmaids were there. They all wore blue gowns with penguin skirt. A photographer took pictures of them candidly before someone knocked on the door and Si Jin's father appeared behind it.
All the bridesmaids slowly left the room to meet with their partners outside.
Mo Yeon slowly rose from her seat and looked at Si Jin's father. She was rarely met with her father-in-law although Si Jin already introduced her formally to his father when he returned to Korea after presumed dead. Since the preparations of their wedding, Mo Yeon never met him again.
Yoo Young-geun was amazed when he saw his daughter-in-law. When the first time his son brought her to his house, he could tell she was beautiful, but after hearing stories from his military friends, Dr. Kang Mo Yeon was more than just beautiful. She was also brave and smart. She fought along with the soldiers in Urk, saving people from earthquake, fighting an epidemic, even talk balk to Commander Park several times. Yoo Young-geun also knew the stories about his son defied the rules for the beautiful doctor. He couldn't blame his son, though.
And now, with her wedding dress, Dr. Kang Mo Yeon was indeed very beautiful. She smiled tenderly at him, making him feeling grateful his son could find a beautiful person who could accept him for who he was.
He held Mo Yeon's shoulders. "You are so beautiful."
Mo Yeon smiled. "Thank you, Father."
"I'm sorry if I burden you with my son. He can be childish sometimes, but he has a good heart and he loves you very much. I hope you both are happy together."
The doctor chuckled. "We will. Don't worry."
Yoo Young-geun smiled wistfully. "I've heard stories about the both of you and you mostly. I must say you are very brave woman. I'm so glad to have you as the part of my family."
Mo Yeon blushed. "Thank you again, Father. I don't know if my bravery as the same as you think in the army, but I'm glad someone could notice it."
Si Jin's father looked at Mo Yeon. "You don't have to be in the army to be brave."
And then, the door opened again, and Mo Yeon could see her mother.
Mrs. Kang smiled. "Do you want to see Si Jin? It's about time for the ceremony."
Mo Yeon's heart thumped again.
She nodded.
With one smile, she slowly walked out the room and finally got to see her groom. Si Jin stood motionless after seeing Mo Yeon in her wedding dress. He always think Mo Yeon was pretty, but this time she was beautiful. If it was not for Dae-young who nudged him, he probably only stood there.
As for Mo Yeon, she already seen Si Jin wearing his dress uniform, but this time it was different. It wasn't for discipline measure, but for their wedding.
Si Jin held Mo Yeon's hand and they stared at each other eyes, ignoring the bridesmaids with their partners watching them or even the photographer who took their pictures.
With a deep breath, Si Jin caressed Mo Yeon's cheek. "You look beautiful."
Mo Yeon smiled. "I know, and you look handsome."
"I know."
"I told you, your confidence can backfire you someday."
"Someday, but not today."
Mo Yeon only chuckled.
And then, he looked at her again deeply. "Are you ready?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes." And then, she blinked and held Si Jin's arm, making him froze. "Wait."
Si Jin looked at her curiously, his worry of Mo Yeon changed her decision appeared again in his mind.
"Who are the officers for the arch? Your fish-face Commander is not one of them, isn't he?"
The latter made Si Jin only chuckled. Trust his bride to worry about that stuff in the time like this. He leaned closer and pinched Mo Yeon's cheek. "No. Don't worry and you'll see."
Mo Yeon narrowed her eyes while Si Jin was grinning and began to walk out from the room to go to the chapel. She returned to her room and her mother put the veil to her hair. Mother and daughter stared at each other before Mo Yeon pulled her mother into a big hug.
"Thank you for everything, Mom," she said, trying very hard not to cry.
Mrs. Kang only sniffled and patted Mo Yeon's back. "My girl is getting married. Be good and be happy. If your father was here, he would be proud of you."
Mo Yeon took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Yes, Mom, he would, and probably threatening Si Jin to make me happy."
Mrs. Kang only laughed and released herself from Mo Yeon's embrace. With a smile, she covered her daughter's head with the veil and gave Mo Yeon her flower.
"I'll be in the chapel. Try not to trip on your dress."
"Oh, Mom..." Mo Yeon only laughed.
Her mother laughed back and left the room.
Mo Yeon took several deep breaths before walked out from the room to meet with her bridesmaids and their partners. Just like she said to Dr. Pyo, all the soldiers were looking good wearing their dress uniforms. Dr. Song also looked very nice with his black tuxedo as Nurse Ha's partner. And then, an officer told them it was time for the ceremony and all of them got out from the room. Myeong Ju helped Mo Yeon to walk to the chapel by carrying her long dress. A lot of people already outside the chapel, some of them wearing uniform and the others were probably her colleagues in Haesung. Mo Yeon didn't have time to see all the faces. She quickly got in and Myeong Ju released her dress. The first couple entered the main room was Dr. Pyo and Sergeant Gong, and then Myeong Ju and Sergeant Seo. The General's daughter gave her a hug and whispered her congratulations to Mo Yeon before getting in. The next couple was Nurse Ha and Dr. Song, followed by Nurse Choi and Captain Lee. The last was Jung So and Sergeant Im.
Mo Yeon was left alone and finally saw the big room. Si Jin was stood on the altar and raised his head when the wedding march was heard. Mo Yeon took a deep breath and started to walk on the carpet. She glanced around and saw familiar faces, her friends in Haesung, some commissioned officers she knew, her eyes lit up when she saw Daniel and Ye-hwa, along with Fatima and Valentine. They all were here for her wedding. Mo Yeon smiled and continued to walk, her eyes finally met with Si Jin. Her soldier was there, looking at her with love in his eyes. All the memories she had with him since they met until this moment flashed in her mind. It was a long way for them, meeting each other, separated for almost a year, and then, they met again. Perhaps, Dr. Pyo was right. They were meant to be together.
Si Jin watched his bride walked on the carpet and his heart drummed on his chest. From this moment, he would be the one who would make Dr. Kang happy and proud to call himself her husband. Being a member of Special Forces and a former Captain were nothing compared to what he felt when Mo Yeon finally reached the altar and held his offered hand. They smiled at each other before facing the chaplain.
"Dear family and friends, we are gathered here today in the sight of God and the Department of the Army, to witness this exchange of vows, and see the love that these two dedicated, loving people have for one another."
The ceremony went smoothly before the chaplain asked the bride and groom to face each other to say their wedding vows. And this one was not to be expected by the civilian guests.
"Groom...Major...repeat after me," the chaplain said.
Si Jin nodded.
"I, Yoo Si Jin, take thee, Kang Mo Yeon, as my independent wife, from 1900 to 2200 hours or as long as allowed by my Commanding Officer..."
All the civilians laughed lightly while the guests from the army only chuckled, and both Si Jin and Mo Yeon were giggled. Si Jin repeated what the chaplain said.
"For better or worse, earlier or later, near or far, and I promise to look at the pictures and messages you send me, maybe not when they get to me in the missions, but before I turn the lights out. I will also give you a call, if time permits, and if not, to somehow, some way, make the time."
Another laugh, and Si Jin tried very hard not to laugh when he repeated the vows.
And then, the chaplain turned to Mo Yeon.
"Bride...repeat after me."
Mo Yeon nodded.
"I, Kang Mo Yeon, take thee, Yoo Si Jin, as my live-in/live-out husband, realizing your comings and goings and part of your life as a soldier."
Mo Yeon repeated the vow, still looking at Si Jin's eyes.
"I am a family member and proud of it, dependent upon myself and my resources. Although I miss you when you are away, I know I can handle whatever comes across my path."
Si Jin smiled proudly.
The chaplain said to the couple, "Do you have your own vows for your spouse?"
Both Si Jin and Mo Yeon already informed about this part during rehearsal and told to be prepared for it.
"Yes, I have," Si Jin answered. "I promise to always return to you and not getting hurt in my missions, if I can. I promise to make you happy, to protect you and keep you safe with everything I have, for you are my friend, my comrade, my companion, my lover...my wife." He looked at his bride deeply while Mo Yeon smiled slightly.
"And as your faithful patient, I will come to you for any medical treatments."
All the people in the chapel laughed.
Si Jin grinned at Mo Yeon, challenging her to do the same.
"Yes, I have," Mo Yeon only glanced sideways before saying, "I promise to study and memorize all rank insignia so as not to humiliate you in any situation warranting an introduction of any kind."
Another laugh while Si Jin only shook his head in disbelief.
Mo Yeon's eyes turned soft. "I promise to be the one who will keep you alive anytime you get injured, if you allowed me to. I promise not to threaten to leave you if you have to leave again, because I know that three months without you is by far easier than the rest of my life without you."
Si Jin's heart warmed and he held Mo Yeon's hand tighter. They both knew what she meant and he vowed silently in his heart to keep his promise to always return. If only they could see the guests when Mo Yeon said the vow, they leaned into each other spouses/partners, the single ones just smiled while Dae-young and Myeong Ju staring at each other with love in their eyes.
Mo Yeon grinned and said again, "And I promise not to laugh at you because you can orchestrate an entire military operation in a mission, but can't handle one day alone with our children someday without losing your mind."
This time, everyone was laughing, even the chaplain.
"May I have the rings?" The chaplain finally said and Dae-young stepped forward, giving the rings to the couple.
"Repeat after me," he said again. "Groom...with this ring, I thee wed. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you."
Si Jin took a deep breath and put the ring to Mo Yeon's ring finger. "With this ring, I thee wed. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you."
"Bride...with this ring, I thee wed. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you."
Mo Yeon smiled and put the ring to Si Jin's ring finger. "With this ring, I thee wed. As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you."
The chaplain nodded.
"Now then, let no man or woman put asunder what God and the Department of the Army have brought together. The Army hereby issues you this lovely, dedicated, beautiful, independent woman, knowing that she'll be an asset not only to your marriage, but also to the mission of the Republic of Korea Army, which is, as you all know, to remain in a state of "Readiness." By the authority elaborated in the regulation and subject to current directives concerning the aspects of marriage in the Army, you are now a Soldier with a Family Member. Best Wishes and Good Luck."
The chaplain smiled.
"And yes, you may kiss the bride."
Si Jin lifted Mo Yeon's veil before grabbing her waist and pulled her to him, and kissed her deeply. All the guests applauded, even some of them gave catcalls. After a while, Si Jin ended the kiss and looked at his wife's beautiful eyes. Mo Yeon smiled at him tenderly.
They were finally became one.
The door opened and the officers came in with sabre in their hands.
It was time for the arch of sabres.
Si Jin's eyes met with Mo Yeon's and his bride nodded. They turned to face the guests and waited until the sabre bearers were on their positions. The senior sabre bearer issued a quiet cue, and all sabre bearers turned, proceeded to the center aisle in pairs, faced the guests, and stopped at a point just forward from the first pew line. With the command "Center Face", they pivoted so that the officers were in two lines facing each other. At the "Arch Sabres" command, the sabre was raised with the right hand until it touched the tip of the sabre directly opposite. The cutting edge was up.
The army guests rose from their seats, followed by the civilians. Si Jin and Mo Yeon walked from the altar to the arch. Mo Yeon glanced around and found out Si Jin's Commander was one of the sabre bearers, but not the last one who would give her the swat. She could take that.
After they walked through, the commands "Carry Sabres", "Rear Face", and "Forward March" moved the sabre bearers to the outside of the chapel to prepare for the second arch. When Si Jin and Mo Yeon reached the end of the arch, the two officers lowered their sabres in front of them. Si Jin kissed Mo Yeon's forehead before the soldier on the right finally gave Mo Yeon the swat and muttered, "Welcome to The Army", while on the left raised his sabre. The guests were giggled quietly during the swat and Mo Yeon only rolled her eyes.
By the time they reached the stairs of the chapel, all the guests from the inside walked out to watch the second arch of sabres. The ten officers were ready to repeat the ceremony, lined up on the stairs of the chapel.
Si Jin and Mo Yeon walked again under the arch and when they reached the last sabres, Si Jin kissed Mo Yeon before the bride having another swat and all the people cheered for them. The soldiers along with civilians applauded, congratulating the newlyweds. Mrs. Kang and Si Jin's father hugged their children and gave them their blessings. Mo Yeon's bridesmaids also did the same while Team Alpha hugged their former Captain and patted his back proudly. And then, all Special Forces members lined up in front of the chapel, giving Si Jin and Mo Yeon their salute, welcoming their new family member. Mo Yeon smiled, watching her new family while clutching Si Jin's arm. He was right when he said she was, started from this moment, one of the army members.
The guests were began to leave the chapel to the reception hall. Si Jin and Mo Yeon took several pictures just the two of them and along with the bridesmaids and their partners. The sunset sky made everything more beautiful. When the photo session was done, they headed to the reception hall.
At the reception, if the groom was in uniform, protocol demanded that he proceeded the bride in the receiving line. So, that was what Si Jin did. He and Mo Yeon also walked under another arch of sabres before cutting their wedding cake. Following the tradition, Si Jin was using a sabre to cut the cake. He passed his sabre and presented it to Mo Yeon, his bride, by laying the sabre over his left forearm, cutting edge away from the body, hilt towards Mo Yeon. The doctor took the sabre and cut the wedding cake, with Si Jin's right hand resting over hers on the sabre's hilt and with his free left arm to place around her. It was fun to do during the rehearsal and it was more fun when they finally got married with Si Jin tried to smear the cake on her face only it failed miserably. In the end, the doctor ate the cake and then, did the fist bump with her husband.
The one thing everyone was waiting for, of course, when the bride threw her flower. All the single ladies gathered behind Mo Yeon and she threw the flower, and her eyes widened when she saw her flower was caught by Valentine.
This should be interesting.
When they finally had to dance, Si Jin held Mo Yeon's hand and walked to the center of the dance floor. Mo Yeon looked at him nervously while he was smiling.
"Just relax. Do you trust me?" he asked.
Mo Yeon only smiled slightly and nodded.
Si Jin wrapped his arms on Mo Yeon's waist while the doctor wrapped her arms around Si Jin's neck. A song was played and Mo Yeon recognized the song. It was the song when Si Jin said he loved her for the first time.
"I want this song becomes our song and it's really represents what I feel about you," he said while starting to sway following the music.
Mo Yeon followed his lead by instinct. Her eyes never left Si Jin. They were wed, husband and wife. She still need to grasp the reality.
"See? You're dancing now," Si Jin said while grinning.
The doctor only rolled her eyes, but chuckled. "I'm only following your lead, Major." She tilted her head. "You said you can't dance."
"No. You said you can't dance."
"Am I not the first woman who is dancing with you?"
"No, you are the only woman who is dancing with me."
Mo Yeon chuckled. "Nice try, Major."
"So," he tightened his hold on Mo Yeon's waist. "How does it feel to have a soldier as your husband?"
Mo Yeon gave him her famous glance. "How does it feel to have a doctor as your wife?"
Si Jin grinned. "It feels amazing."
Mo Yeon grinned back. "Me too."
Their eyes met and when the song reached the interlude, Si Jin leaned down and kissed Mo Yeon, while everyone around them applauded.
After their dance, some of the guests continued to dance. Mo Yeon and Si Jin met with their guests, Mo Yeon's colleagues from Haesung, Si Jin's superiors and some soldiers whom Mo Yeon met when she was in Urk, and some staffs from Ministry of Defense. Just like Myeong Ju said, they were indeed curious about her. The couple also met with Mr. Han and Yoon Gi, and Mo Yeon let her husband to deal with those men. General Yoon came with his wife and personally congratulated them. He even joked to begin preparing the wedding for Myeong Ju. Daniel and Ye-hwa congratulated them and Mo Yeon was happy when Ye-hwa told her that she was four months pregnant with Daniel's child. Fatima and Valentine, their friends from Urk, also congratulated them. Mo Yeon promised Fatima to visit her soon.
The reception continued until finally the guests needed to say goodbye to the newlyweds. Mo Yeon and Si Jin waved goodbye to their guests and families, and headed back to Mo Yeon's place. It was nearly midnight when they finally arrived. Both of them were exhausted, not to mention Mo Yeon who was still on her wedding dress. Si Jin opened her passenger door and without warning, he carried her bridal style, making Mo Yeon yelped in surprise.
"What are you doing?" she asked her husband.
"Carrying you over the threshold," Si Jin answered while opening the front door to Mo Yeon's place.
"This is my place, you know? I can walk."
"Just following the tradition," Si Jin said and lowered Mo Yeon, so she could stand.
The doctor blew a breath and sat on the living room, Si Jin watched her with smile on his face. Mo Yeon looked at her husband animatedly and raised her eyebrows.
"What?"
Si Jin gave his wife a wolf smirk and started to unbutton his green blazer, his eyes never left hers.
"What are you doing?" Mo Yeon asked.
"Changing my uniform. Do you have any idea the blazer is heavy?" he asked and lay the blazer on the sofa and then, started to remove the tie.
"You're beginning to scare me," the doctor said, making Si Jin laughed.
"Don't you want to change your dress?" he pointed at Mo Yeon's dress.
"Oh yeah...right..."
Mo Yeon quickly rose from the sofa and to her bedroom...their bedroom. She opened her cupboard and chose to wear a T-shirt and short pants. When she was trying to unbutton her dress, she realized she couldn't do it on her own. She cursed silently. It looked like her wedding dress was designed to be undress by the help of her husband.
With blushing cheeks, she stood on the bedroom door and saw Si Jin already with his cotton pants and white T-shirt, sitting on the living room, folding his uniform.
"Um...can you..." Mo Yeon said in low voice.
Si Jin turned and saw the blushing Mo Yeon stood in front of their bedroom. When their eyes met, she slowly turned around and Si Jin understood his wife was asking for help. With a small smile, he got up from his seat and slowly approached his wife. He slowly unbuttoned Mo Yeon's dress while his eyes were staring at Mo Yeon's rigid posture. They might be husband and wife, but he knew Mo Yeon was not ready, at least for tonight. And also, both of them were exhausted.
When the last button was done, Mo Yeon moved to change before Si Jin grabbed her and turned her around to face him. Mo Yeon was surprised and her body went warm when she felt Si Jin's fingers on her exposed back.
Si Jin took a deep breath and caressed the soft skin of his wife. Mo Yeon's breath hitched when she saw her husband's eyes were dark with passion.
"As much as I want to do it now, I won't do it if you're not ready. Besides, we need to sleep. Tomorrow we'll have a long journey," Si Jin said in very low voice.
Mo Yeon's eyebrows raised. "Journey?"
Si Jin smiled. "I'm taking you to Greece as a wedding present."
Mo Yeon's eyes lit up. "Really?" And then, she frowned. "I haven't packed my clothes yet."
"Your mother already did it for you."
"Really?" Her eyes lit up again.
"Yes, now hurry up change your dress before I changed my mind."
The doctor quickly went into the room and later, wearing her T-shirt and short pants, also removing her make-up. Si Jin and Mo Yeon lay on the bed together and looked over the ceiling.
"We finally did it," Mo Yeon said.
"Yes, we did."
"It's a good thing no earthquake or volcano eruption or disaster this time."
Si Jin chuckled and Mo Yeon snuggled deeper to her husband.
"Let's sleep, husband."
Si Jin felt his heart swelled and he smiled while closing his eyes. "Yes, wife."
