Title: Incredible
Series: 태양의 후예 / Descendants of the Sun
Characters: Lee Chihun, mentions of Kang Moyeon, Yoo Sijin
Summary: He always thought of them to be amazing people.
------------------
For a while now, there were two people that he had grown to admire a lot during his month-long stay in Uruk. Because they were so dedicated to their jobs... and also because they were so brave. The first person that came to his mind was Doctor Kang Moyeon. The second person was Captain Yoo Sijin.
Well, he had known Dr. Kang for quite some time actually... he had known her ever since he started his internship at Haeseong. He already respected her a lot since then, but the time they spent in Uruk made him grow even more respectful of her. And Uruk was also where he first met Captain Yoo.
To be honest, his first impression of the captain was that he looked very cool. And it was interesting enough, that he seemed to know Dr. Kang.
The incident with the Arab chairman was the beginning of his greater admiration of the two. Back then, he had been so scared. What with the face-off between the Korean soldiers and the Arab agents, as well as critical surgery operation that could change the fate of the world! Yet Captain Yoo and Dr. Kang didn't let the situation stop them from doing their jobs. Captain Yoo had bravely protected them, and Dr. Kang had bravely proceeded through with the operation and saved their patient.
And then there was that earthquake. It was then when he felt lucky that Doctor Kang had been the leader of the Haeseong Medical Service team. The disaster was something that no one could have anticipated but they were able to get through it because Dr. Kang was there to lead them. Captain Yoo already left Uruk at the time, but he noticed it when the man came back with support from back home. The soldiers' morale had risen greatly because Captain Yoo was back, and that was really amazing.
In a way, Captain Yoo's arrival had lifted the spirits of everyone at the scene.
Such were the effect of the two people he had grown to have high regards of to everyone. Of course, there were other people around that were also a great help. Like Doctor Daniel, Yehwa, Doctor Song, Sergeant Seo, Lieutenant Yun...
But having Doctor Kang and Captain Yoo to lead them all the way through the tragedy was really comforting.
He really respected the two of them, because even when they were thrown into a chaotic situation, they were able to stay calm. And because of that, everyone else who were part of the rescue team were able to do their jobs without fear. Since they were lead by the most reliable leaders that they could have gotten. When Chihun thought about it, he was mostly grateful to have both Captain Yoo and Dr. Kang to lead them. Since he couldn't imagine anyone else who could do it better than them.
The two had also worked well together during the M3 virus epidemic, and everyone was able to get through that situation just fine.
He really admired the two of them. It felt as if there was nothing that could ever bring those two down. Because they would always triumph over everything.

Of all the things that he thought he would be prepared for... in his line of work as a doctor, it was not this. In fact, despite how he occasionally play the situation in his mind as to how he would handle a situation like this, he never really felt that it could be this hard. As in, facing a situation where you as a doctor were faced with a life and death situation to save a patient... when the patient was someone you knew. Like a family member... or a friend.
In fact, one of the opinions from the Code of Medical Ethics that he learned before... said that usually physicians were not allowed to treat themselves or the members of their family—and suppose you could include friends and loved ones as well in this—for fear that their medical judgement would be affected by their personal emotions. To be honest, he still didn't quite understand the reasoning about that. But right now, he felt that he finally did.
Chihun turned towards Moyeon as she seemed to still be in a state of alarm after the ambulance door was opened. Suddenly he wondered if he should call for another doctor to take over.
"Dr. Kang, should I—"
Moyeon suddenly snapped herself from her daze as she wiped her tears away. Her eyes were suddenly fierce. "Come on. We need to get this patient to the ER."

He tried not to think too much as he kept maintaining the air flow to Captain Yoo. He silently prayed to himself, that the captain would not stop breathing. He wouldn't know what to do if Captain Yoo stopped breathing, or what Dr. Kang would do if they couldn't save him.
The beeping that suddenly resounded made him turn towards the monitor; made his fears worse.
"Cardiac arrest!", he exclaimed before turning towards Moyeon.
"200 joules! Charge!" exclaimed Moyeon, not missing the beat. Chihun lifted the ambu bag just as soon as he heard the sound of the defibrillator being charged.
Moyeon placed the paddles on Sijin's chest.
"Shoot!" she cried again as Sijin's body jolted in response. Moyeon repeated the motion several more times as the vital sign readings on the monitor did not change.
"His vitals aren't coming back," Chihun cried, feeling slightly more alarmed. Were they going to lose Captain Yoo today? Couldn't they save him today?
He could see the panic in Moyeon's eyes as he tried to use the ambu bag on Sijin again. But as he was about to do it, Moyeon barged over and started doing manual chest compressions on Sijin.
"One, Two, Three! One, Two, Three!"
"Come back! Please come back!" she cried.
Chihun didn't know what to do. As much as he wanted to also help in saving Captain Yoo, his body was frozen. Suddenly he was reminded of that worker he failed to save, back in Uruk. Back then, he was emotionally affected as well... to desperately want to save that man. He remembered that feeling again, as he watched Moyeon desperately wanting to save Sijin.
The monitor kept beeping that one tone beep, as Chihun kept his eyes focused on it. Please change... please!, he shouted from inside of his mind as the line started to dissipate into one single flat line.
"Don't do this! You can't do this to me! Please."
He could hear Moyeon crying beside him, but Chihun didn't dare to look away. Please don't flat line...!
"Please pull yourself together, you jerk!"
Chihun finally turned his attention to Moyeon as she finally stopped trying to revive Sijin. Before he could process what was happening, he heard a familiar cough and glanced towards Sijin. He could barely believe his own eyes when he saw Sijin beginning to open his eyes.
"It hurts like hell," he could hear Sijin gasp. Chihun glanced back to the monitor as vital signs reading finally shows a normal reading.
"His pulse is back," he said aloud, before turning back to stare at the two.
Honestly, the two of them were really incredible people.
