two worlds: jaeyong

7

dinner was a humble event, with the medical team receiving warm welcomes from all the soldiers and staff. to welcome the new members of the camp, jungwoo had organized a shipment of various animal meats for the whole base to have a barbeque party. now, all the tables were filled with the young adults grilling and eating meat while having lively conversations with each other.

"and that's how johnny soon learned that pizza isn't something to put in the frying pan," jaehyun finished his story while laughing loudly. all the others at the table couldn't help but laugh along while the mentioned male was giving his friend sharp glances.

"in my defense, it was frozen and i had finals that day," johnny tried defending but failed when they all started laughing even more. in the end, he just threw his hands up in the air and just gave up.

"wow, i didn't know that you two were so close," taeyong said after he stopped laughing and smiled at the sight of the two men choke holding each other.

"yeah, well do you guys have any stories from your college days?" yuta asked the 4 medical team members. "it can't be any more chaotic than the ones from the military academy."

"and that's where your wrong," doyoung shot taeyong an evil smile, the latter immediately standing up to try to block his friend's mouth. the anesthesiologist just kept dodging the attacks while he kept talking. "this happened during our 1st year in residency and taeyong and i were both in the same operation room, observing. taeyong, because he was a surgeon resident, was standing next to the monitor of where the whole procedure was being videotaped while i sat next to where the anesthesiologist was. it was a really long operation, maybe 3 hours in total, and not too mention that we had studied for an upcoming exam that night. so when the whole thing was done,-"

"kim doyoung, i swear to god," taeyong glared at his friend and gritted his teeth. "if you say anything,"

"long story short, the both of them were found asleep, flat on the floor and snoring. the next morning, they had to write a 20 page summary of the operation while also rewatching the 3-hour tape," sicheng finished while laughing. donghyuck heard this story multiple times but couldn't help but laugh every time he heard it. taeyong just groaned in embarrassment and laid his head on the table, hiding his red face.

"that's brave of you guys though," mark said to the leader of the medical group. "i think i would be too scared to even close my eyes in that room."

"when you're that tired, i guess your fear just melts away," doyoung shrugged like it was nothing.

"Or just that they were both being ignorant of their actual jobs."

doyoung and taeyong both flinch at the new but familiar voice and turn around. standing there was the base's doctor, crossing his arms and wearing a small btu noticeable smirk on his face. staring at the two doctors sitting next to each other, he just walks over and puts his hands out.

"moon taeil, the doctor of this base."

"nice to meet you dr. moon. i am dr. lee, the professor of general surgery in neo medical center and also the leader of the medical volunteer group for chasa," taeyong clasps his hands with the older, both gripping tightly on to the other. doyoung immediately noticed the change of the atmosphere between the two and it was obvious that it wasn't a good thing.

"hyung, when did you get here?" jungwoo approached the male who just entered the cafeteria.

"just now, i had to settle some things with the head."
