Descendants of the Sun

Chapter 97~THIRD-PERSON POV~A Saturday night of late October.

In the kitchen room of Mo-yeon's house, Si-jin just finished washing the dishes as he turned the water off, while Mo-yeon has been busy in the hospital. Besides, he was listening the news on the television. Suddenly, the newscaster spoke that there's a new breaking report.

"Around 9 pm tonight, at an intersection at Banpo-dong, a sergeant major was shot by a foreigner suspect and has been gravely injured. The sergeant major was shot in the stomach. He's been transported to the hospital and is undergoing emergency surgery."

The news shocked Si-jin to the bones; he couldn't believe that his best friend suddenly got shot. That shock of him had turned into an urge to visit the hospital to check if Myung-joo's feeling a bit okay. He rushed from the kitchen to get his jacket and go to the hospital.

In the Commander's office, Gil-joon was watching the breaking news about what happened to Dae-young.

"The suspect is remained unknown for now, so the investigation will continue to find out who and where is the suspect from."

He looked straight but helpless inside. Now he might not know what to do next after all of that happened. One idea came crossing in his mind is to go visit the hospital and find out if his daughter is there too. He started to worry about him and Myung-joo. He turned the television off; he grabbed his hat, put it on his head and walked out from his office.

Chi-yun, Ki-bum and Myung-joo were in the waiting room outside near to the operation room. Poor Ki-bum seemed to be the only one walking around the waiting room. He's very worried since Dae-young was taken to the operation room. Chi-yun was standing next to the operation room's door; she seemed to be still but her concerned look can tell when Ki-bum was walking around impatiently.

Myung-joo was sitting on the middle chair, with a brooding look. Her clean hands clasped together but trembling a little; her eyes stared at the floor, but thoughts had blinded her. The three heard running footsteps approaching. It was Min-ji carrying a container of blood packs; the automatic door slid open and she rushed in. Ki-bum looked the door helplessly; the impatience kept consuming him.

"Aish, why is it taking so long? It's been way more than four hours." Ki-bum whined.

"Sit down and wait. The doctor said it could go long." Chi-yun flatly spoke; she felt concerned inside, however, because of him being desperate.

"Ya, I'm going crazy. Why is it taking so long?" He couldn't stop complaining.

Myung-joo, despite of her hands trembling, stood up; she held his hand and brings him over to the chairs.

"If Dae-young sees your face like that, he'll worry more." Myung-joo gently spoke.

Ki-bum lets out a deep sigh and nodded, promising that he won't worry more about Dae-young.

She then looked at Chi-yun who was still standing there.

"I'll be going for a few moments, but I'll come back." Myung-joo spoke.

Chi-yun nodded. Something, however, crossed her mind and urges her to call Myung-joo. She called her, and Myung-joo turned around. Chi-yun approached to her but stopped.

"Myung-joo...mianhae. I'm sorry for being acting rash to you days ago. It's because..." Chi-yun apologized but paused; she was unsure if how Myung-joo will react for the reason she's about to give.

Chi-yun deeply sighed, after she felt a knot about to be tied in her throat.

"It's because the breakup between you and Dae-young. Dae-young spoiled it without noticing it. I yelled at him why but...he doesn't want to tell me. So, I decided not to talk to him and you. But I found why because I overheard Ki-bum verbally fighting Dae-young. I was about to cut ties from you and him since Dae-young told me...but when that incident just happened... I felt a desperate feeling that I should not cut ties from you two for sure." Chi-yun told.
