After a few minutes, when you finally calm down, Captain Jeon gently breaks the silence.
Captain (softly): Hey... why were you so scared?
YN (in mind):
What do I even tell him... why I hugged him so tightly... What must he be thinking?
YN (awkwardly): Uhh... I-I saw a lizard near the window. That's why.
Captain bursts into laughter, holding his stomach.
Captain (teasing):
"Seriously? Dr. YN, you're scared of a lizard? If you're panicking at a lizard now, how are you going to handle the upcoming battles??Also... your face... it turned so red, you looked like a puffer fish."
You quickly place your hand over your cheeks, flustered.
YN (defensive): Huh?! My face is not red, And why would I look like a puffer fish, huh?! Are you calling me fat now?
Captain (teasing, raising a brow): Hmm... maybe a little.
You give him a playful pout and cross your arms.
YN (sassy): Hmph...!! It’s fine. I’m not here to impress anyone anyway.
I'm leaving Bye.
As you turn and walk away, he watches your figure slowly disappear into the camp a soft smile playing on his lips...
Captain (in mind): There’s something about her... But why is she scared??
You were stomping your feet angrily as you walked away.
YN (muttering):
"Huh?! Who does he even think he is? As if he’s some Greek god or something.
He himself looks like a rabbit and he called me fat?!"
You suddenly stop in your tracks.
YN (mind):
"Wait a minute... Why did I say lizard? Ughhh!"
You drag your hands through your hair in frustration.
YN (mind):
"YN, have you completely lost it? But… why do I feel so safe when I’m near him?? It feels like... he knows me better than I know myself."
Reality hits you. You shake your head.
"No no no, YN! What are you thinking? It’s nothing like that! Of course anyone would feel safe… he’s tall, built like a tank. That’s it. Nothing else.
Jimin comes running.
Jimin: YN, hey… I need to tell you something.
YN: What happened?
Jimin: So… the thing is, I…
YN: Just say it clearly, Jimin.
Jimin: I… I feel like—
(Suddenly Ema interrupts)
Ema: Dr. YN Captain Jeon is calling you...
You freeze. Your heart skips a beat. A hundred questions rush into your head like a storm.
YN (mind):
Why is he calling me? Did he complain about me? Am I getting kicked out already?
Just then, Jimin gently shakes your shoulder snapping you out of your thoughts.
Jimin:
"YN! I’ve been calling you! Where were you lost?"
YN (nervously):
"Huh? Ohh! Jimin… can I ask you something? How is Captain Jeon? I mean… is he really strict?"
Your eyes show a mix of curiosity and a little fear.
Jimin looks at you for a second—and in that moment, he senses something.
A small smirk plays on his lips. Time for some fun.
Jimin:
"Umm YN… actually… he’s super strict. If he doesn’t like something, he doesn’t let it slide.
He gives hard punishments."
Your eyes wide,
YN: "What?! Even to girls?"
He nods his head
Jimin:
"Yup. For him everyone is equal. That’s why he’s the head captain. He scolds like crazy"
You gulp down,
YN: "Huh?? Is that… really true?"
Jimin:
"Don’t think too much—go now! He hates latecomers. Go, go!"
(He gently pushes you forward.)
You walk nervously,
YN (in mind):
This bulldozer is really that scary? Who even has that much strength? Wait, why am I even scared? If he’s a captain, I’m also Dr. YN. Hmm… let’s go and if he dares to punish me… I know a little Taekwondo, right? I’ll show him then..!!
You straighten your posture, trying to look brave… but your footsteps still feel a little too light.
You walk toward the captain’s room.
You knock softly.
YN: Captain... You called me...
No response.
You raise your voice a little.
YN:Captain?
Still no response.
You mutters under your breath
"Huh? Is he crazy? Where did he go? Hmph! This grumpy bunny..."
You turn around— But suddenly, your body freezes. He’s standing right behind you.
He raises one eyebrow.
Captain (calmly):
"I'm a grumpy bunny?"
YN (panicking):
"Huh? No—no...!! I was talking about... Captain Lee!"
He tilts his head,
"Oh? What did Captain Lee do?"
YN (gulping):
"Nothing! You… umm… you called me?"
Captain: Hmm Come in...
He walks inside. But your feet refuse to move.
YN (mind):
"Is he really going to punish me?"
You step in hesitantly, and look around his neat barrack. He gently pulls a chair and gestures for you to sit.
You slowly sit, nervous and quiet.
Captain (calmly):
"Umm, so actually... the reason I called—"
You suddenly cuts him.
"I'm sorry, Captain!"
"I know I shouldn't have hugged you like that. It was wrong. I was scared, but I’ll become stronger from now on. Please don’t kick me out of here! And—and don’t punish me, okay? I know Taekwondo...!!
"If you try to punish me, I’ll break your hand!"
You jump up and strike a dramatic Taekwondo pose...
He bursts into laughter.
You stare at him, completely innocent and confused.
Captain (laughing):
"Seriously, Dr. YN? Why would I punish you?"
YN: I thought you were mad about the hug…
He walks toward you slowly. You instinctively step back—until your back hits the wall.
He places both hands on either side of you, trapping you gently.
Captain (softly):
"Do I really look that scary to you?"
You can't meet his eyes. Your breath is shallow. Your heart is beating like crazy.
He gently asked you.
"Who told you that?"
You look up, shocked.
YN (mind):
How did he know...?
He leans in closer. Your heart pounds. His voice drops.
Captain:
"And about that hug... I didn’t mind it. In fact... if you ask me... I’d be ready to spend every second—every moment of my life... in that hug."
Your eyes widen. You forget to breathe. Your lips part slightly but you can’t speak.
He leans in even closer—
And you instantly close your eyes.
I hope you like this part 💜💗💜
