Descendants of the Moon (A DotS fanfic)

14. Tough Nut To Crack

Episode 14

Yoo Ji was informed that they wouldn't be attending the dinner, but rather they would sit in another room, and one of the secretaries was going to answer the questions. Yoo Ji rolled her eyes, so she couldn't get any dirt, this was going to be a very controlled press conference

An hour and a half pass and almost all the reporters have given up on getting any details on whether the representatives are going to come to an agreement on the separated families in their regions. Yoo Ji watched as the journalists fired away the questions and the secretary dodged the question and answered vaguely. Yoo Ji was planning on putting him on the spot so at least she can get an unplanned reaction to a slip-up. Before she raised her hand to ask the question, she felt her phone going, she sighed and silently left the room.

"Hello?"

"Where are you? I am coming to pick you up, something happened to Shi Jin" Gwang Nam's voice was unstable, Yoo Ji could feel his panic as it seeped into her skin. The words he said finally registered.

"What happened?" Yoo Ji asked as she ran down the hallway to get to the main entrance.

"He got shot, he's already at Haesung"

"Ok, I am coming down, I'll send you the address" she hung up as she went into the elevator, it would lead her to the parking levels. Soon she reached the ground floor and the doors opened.

Yoo Ji was shocked but not surprised, Gwang Nam was standing with Cheol Ho talking to the Lieutenant Colonel. He glanced to the side, he did a double-take when he recognized Yoo Ji.

Yoo Ji ran over and tackled him into a hug, it made Cheol Ho smile softly before turning to the Lieutenant Colonel who looked uncomfortable and questioning. Cheol Ho leaned over and whispered an explanation.

"Reporter Mun and First Sergeant Lim are dating now" Cheol Ho informed his superior, he nodded and looked at them with slight distaste.

Woo Geun diverted the Lieutenant Colonel's attention with updates on the condition of the victim.

"I just got a call from the hospital. The surgery on Senior Lieutenant Ahn just finished earlier." Woo Geun's eyes darted to Yoo Ji's figure as she clung to his colleague, he mentally smiled but also understood how bad the situation would seem to Yoo Ji.

"I am fine" Gwang Nam mumbled into Yoo Ji's neck, he had his arms wrapped around her as she hugged him tightly. Her feet aren't touching the floor since she basically jumped into him. He set her down, and finally looked at her face up close. She had worry lines on her forehead and she was biting her lip.

"What are you doing here?" Gwang Nam asked.

"The political dinner between South Korea and North Korea is on the 6th floor" Yoo Ji responded, she was finally feeling her panic subside but her worry was still there.

"What are you doing here?" Yoo Ji asked.

"Work" he answered abruptly, Yoo Ji nodded, she didn't question it further than that.

"Let's go, Shi Jin should be awake by now," Gwang Nam said as he bid his boss and Cheol Ho goodbye and they walked the car they came in with. Cheol Ho and Woo Geun had to stay behind to finish some more interviews and debriefing for the case.

"How fatal is the wound?" Yoo Ji asked as she got into the car.

"I am not sure, at first glance it looked bad, multiple gunshot wounds but Mo Yeon called Dae Young and told him that Shi Jin is awake and is fine"

"Were you close to the shooting?" Yoo Ji bit her lip, she knew that this might be sensitive information but her curiosity got the best of her.

"No, I was a long-range scout, Dae Young asked for assistance and that's when I found out" Gwang Nam responded as he pulled out from the parking lot, he had revealed too much information which is frowned upon but he felt the need to assure her that he was safe.
