Firemen Jeon and Paramedic Kim | vk✓

Three - Knowing you

"Jeongguk-ah, have a fun vacation with your family?"

Jeongguk finished lacing his boot and lifted his head, smiling when his Lieutenant sat on the bench next to him.

The man had taken a chance on him a couple years ago, and Jeongguk owed him everything. He had wanted to be a firefighter since he was a young boy and had almost given up his dream.

Jeongguk finally completes his Bachelor studies and straight away he submitted his application for a position of Fire and Rescue Specialist, which is approved four weeks later. Definitely, he's the most happiest man on planet that night.

Since then, he had promised to train harder than any rookie before him and vowed to learn everything he could and Lieutenant Sejin had been impressed by Jeongguk's passion and enthusiasm.

He stuck true to his word and trained hard. There were days he wondered what he had gotten himself into, but once the Chief and higher ups commanders decided he was ready for live drills, Jeongguk knew he made the right decision in following his heart.

The work was tough and draining, but fulfilling. He loved that he made an impact in the community and helped save lives. However, witnessing loss of a single soul broke his heart, and he took it harder than most.

Many nights, Sejin had to console Jeongguk until he realized it was out of his hands and there was nothing else that could be done. He vowed to do better next time.

Because the next time, Warrant Officer Jeongguk will be promoted to Captain, which is on the waiting list currently.

"Yeah, it was nice. I think I gained twenty pounds while I was away. Jin hyung made a three-course meal every night," Jeongguk jested.

"Guess you're going to have to hit the gym real soon," Sejin joked. "Welcome back. I'm glad you're healing. Everyone missed you, Gguk. Yah, time to get to it. You and Yoongi get to wash the truck and ladder," he stated, groaning as he stood up and left the room.

"Seriously? No welcome party for me? Dear self, you are doing good alright!" Jeongguk grumbled at the sight of having to clean his big baby.

Jeongguk had almost finished washing the truck with his co-worker, Yoongi, when the alarm sounded. The familiar rush flowed through him when he heard the bell. He suited up quickly and climbed into the fire engine.

On the way, dispatch relayed it was a house fire, but everyone had vacated the building. An ambulance was requested as one of the occupants had suffered smoke inhalation.

"I hope to hell that new medic doesn't show up," the driver Jihoon said as the truck sped through the town.

"New medic?" Jeongguk asked.

"Yeah. Transferred. Staff Sergeant I think and he's a... he's really a real charmer."

"Hmm.. Sexy. I can't wait!" Jeongguk excitingly responded.
