Present
A woman is wearing a long white coat that hides her uniform, and she appears to be quite focused on the documents in front of her. Her short, silky dark brown hair used to be long. Her angular jaw profile and high nasal bridge are beautifully displayed from side angles. When reading or studying something for an extended period of time, she always wears glasses, which make her appear flawless.
Tok, tok!
Jiwon briefly looked at the door before returning her attention to the paperwork and reading the patient's records that she had to take care of.
"Come in" After receiving permission, someone unlocked the door. Her eyes were fixed on the door. There's a man standing there wearing a full military outfit, and she can tell he needs to tell her.
"Salute!" With a smile, Jiwon acknowledged the salute.
"Liutenant, they said that you need to attend the meeting after lunch." She only nodded a few times, not taking her eyes off the documents, as the man instructed her.
"Would you kindly inquire about the patient I attended to yesterday, if that is okay? As soon as something seems off, please give me a call. Make careful to check on him every hour." Jiwon gave him the patient's document. It turns out that the documents she was so focused on were the medical records. Simply nodding, he left the room after showing some more respect.
She began working at the military hospital after leaving her position as the hospital's doctor. It has been four years since she last saw Kim Soohyun, the enigmatic man who forced her to look into his background. She discovered that he is a well-known billionaire with properties all over the world, which is why she will continue to research him until her workload at the military base becomes too great.
Jiwon takes off her glasses and long white coat. She checks her appearance one last time, then removes the baret from the table and heads out of the room for lunch. A few people are there, she notices, and because of her father, a cafe has actually been created in her base so she can eat everything she likes. She is absorbed in the menu and isn't even aware of the man standing behind her. The atmosphere in the cafe abruptly shifts from calm to frigid, and the individuals who were still there swiftly leave, leaving Jiwon and the stranger alone with several employees.
"I want a set of bibimbab please" Jiwon ordered with her sweet smile.
"I'll order the same." A husky yet familiar voice behind her makes her turn quickly while he is handing over his card to pay for their meal.
"You..." Jiwon murmurs, but her voice is still audible to them.
She just stands there astonished for a few seconds until the cashier's voice captures her attention. "Nice to meet you again, Doctor," he smiles.
Soohyun took his card, saying, "Thank you," and turned back to Jiwon.
"Are you not going to sit down while they are preparing for our food?" He tilted his head in question.
Jiwon glances around the cafe, which is deserted!
"Where do you want to eat?" He's scanning the area, perhaps to see which seat she likes to occupy. Jiwon made his way to the table in the cafe's corner while Soohyun was occupied exploring the area. Like a docile puppy, Soohyun trailed behind her, even taking a seat in front of her.
"Why are you sitting here?" Jiwon asked, glancing at him disinterestedly as she suddenly realized his bodyguards were present and scanning the area.
"Wae. I covered the cost of your meal." Jiwon simply lets out a deep breath and reaches for her pocket for the cash.
"Nah! Your money is not what I want." With a swift glance, Soohyun saw that Jiwon was still giving him the money.
"Take it." She placed the cash in his grasp.
"You don't really need to pay it back, I just want to treat you, and it don't cost a fortune." When Soohyun tries to return the money, Jiwon's look stops him.
"I know paying for my food won't make you bankrupt, but I don't want to feel guilty in the future."
When Jiwon smiled this time, Soohyun thought the world had stopped. Even though her smile only lasts for five seconds, it has a lasting impact.
Their lunch arrived and was served by the bodyguards. Jiwon thanked the bodyguard with a smile. After delivering the lunch, the bodyguard simply nodded and walked away.
"So you serve and protect your country?" A small smirk tucked behind his lips, he asked. And this time, she seems irritated with him.
"Yes, and" Her outfit speaks louder than her actions, so she knows he's known about her profession from the start.
"Nothing, it's okay. You can serve the country, and I'll protect you with my life." She just rolled her eyes. He just smiled at her, who was finishing her bibimbab.
"Haha, don't hate me too much my dear, just enjoy my existence, and I will gladly protect you at all costs." He flashed his teasing and annoying smile.
"You know what?" Jiwon sighs again, and Soohyun chuckles while looking at her.
"I don't need a devil like you to protect me!" This time, she feels like he is crossing the boundary and sees her as a weak woman who always needs a guy to protect her.
"Well, before being a devil, he was an angel too, Kim Diwonie." He is leaving her after that, and she is moved by what he said. Jiwon experiences a déjà vu since part of him misses the things he did over the previous four years.
"I swear to God, I will find the real you, Kim Soohyun." Jiwon headed directly for the conference room after leaving the cafe.
...
When Jiwon sees the familiar bodyguards, she lets out a heavy breath, knowing that Soohyun would also be attending the meeting. Before entering, she knocks on the door and sits down across from him. This time, though she knows his eyes are on hers, she chooses to ignore him.
"Since everyone is here already, I will announce that Kim Soohyun-shii will join the military training here for two weeks." Jiwon senses that the next two weeks will be chaotic in her life.
"And Liutenant Jiwon, you will take the responsibility of helping him too." When Jiwon heard the command, she nearly let out a curse. Her eyes nearly protruded from their sockets.
With a forced smile, Jiwon added, "I don't think I can help much because I'm in the health departments."
"You just assist him or help him if he gets injured." Right now, Jiwon wants to slam her skull against the table.
'Is he a helpless infant who requires people to search for him around-the-clock?'
"Don't worry too much, we have another backup doctor to cover your job." Jiwon just nodded in accord, knowing she could not refuse the order.
Jiwon views Soohyun as merely a mother boy who requires constant protection and obedience from everyone. She doesn't even think he is capable of doing anything on his own, but she didn't realize that he keeps a lot of secrets from her and goes above and beyond to be in her presence.
To be continue...
