#captain ri

“Please… just a moment.” – you asked him, turning your arm away so that his grip faltered. With a deep exhale, you shuddered out a breath. Staring longingly with summers blue’s at the house.

Wanting, wishing for it to open. Bringing your hand closer to your chest. Begging to see him again. Kwang-Beom reached for your elbow once more, turning you fully to him. – “He’s not here. If you are waiting for him, he isn’t here.” – he told you.

All your hopes shattering with a few words. – “We have to go now.” -  Kwang-Beom urged you, knowing you had a plane to catch. Nodding agreeable, you let go of all your hopes. Shoulders slouching with a loss. Getting in motion to follow him.

Kwang-Beom kept his hand on your elbow, guiding you through the fence towards the truck. Opening the door for you. You set your foot in the car. Standing up straight, to overlook the truck. To look back at the house and the closed fence with one last sprinkle of hope.

Hoping Kwang-Beom was lying and that he would walk out of that door any moment now. Yet the door remained closed. Lowering your gaze, you got down, settling in the passenger’s seat. Kwang-Beom coming to sit behind the wheel. His hands hovering over the steering poke. Allowing himself a moment to look at you. – “You’ll be home soon.” – he said to you. – “I know.” – you responded looking down at your lap.

Kwang-Beom took in a soft breath, riding off. The rising of the sun not for a few hours. The ride out of the small town was bumpy. The road wobbly and unsteady. The moment the ground became vaster, you let out a sob. Head falling into the palm of your hand. Sobbing quietly for it was all going to end. Kwang-Beom swallowed nervously. Glancing briefly back at you. Finding some understanding in your grief.

If he was being honest, he would miss your presence as well. Your bubbly personality that had invaded their serious and dull days A presence he became missing as you reminded him much like an older sister. One that could annoy him, but also make him laugh.

One that he grew to love. One that he was going to miss dearly. Kwang-beom wiped the back of his hand against his eye. Getting rid of the wetness forming in his eyes before they could become tears. Clearing his throat, he tried to focus on something else. Your sobbing died out with a loud sniff. Wiping your cheeks dry.

Taking a deep breath, you composed yourself. Staring out of the window at the setting sun on the horizon. By the time the sun had set with the morning glow, you were on the highway. The highway was empty and deserted as you had dozed off a bit. The sudden loud sound of an engine made you startle awake. Looking behind you to see a massive truck with metal plates in front speed up.

“What is he doing?” – you asked confused. Kwang-Beom saw the vehicle as well in the front mirror. Watching as it stepped on the gas, getting extremely close. Kwang-Beom stepped on the gas as well, feeling something is off. The truck didn’t seem to back down. Speeding up once more. Getting closer and closer till the tip of the metal plates bumped into the back of your truck.

The contact made you scream as Kwang-Beom had to grab the steering wheel firm. – “Are they insane?” – you called out, looking frantically behind you. Their engine roaring loud like a murderous monster. Another contact with the back of your truck. Letting out a yelp, your hands shuddered beside your face. – “Hold on!” – Kwang-Beum called out.

He turned at the stirring wheel, letting the truck swing to the left lane. Holding on tight, you nearly flew from side to side. The truck followed Kwang-Beom’s movement. Going for the left lane as well. – “Hold on tight!” – he shouted out, turning hard on the wheel. The car flung back to the right lane. Swirling from side to side. – “What is going on?” – you asked in a panic.

“I think they are on to us!” – Kwang-Beom said back letting the car swirl again to the left lane. Bullets bouncing off metal made you duck down with a scream. – “Stay low!” – Kwang-Beom called out moving a hand to you. You did as you were told, keeping your head low as the bullets flung against the truck.

Hearing a faint third motor, made you lift your head a bit up. Panting loud as your gaze fell on the scenery beside you. Beside the highway was a gravely path.  Blocked by some bushes, yet you could hear the third motor clear. Someone was there. Panic swelled up inside your chest thinking it was another one of them. The car swirled back to the right lane. Bushes suddenly ending as a motorcycle drove past.

Your eyes widening upon seeing who was riding it. Jeong-Hyeok. Gun in the ready as he fired at the murderous truck tailing you. Heart slowly beating that bit faster at the sight of him. Once again he was here to save you. Kwang-Beom saw him as well, panting loud. Feeling a bit more reassured now that his captain was here. – “Hang on.” – he called out as he saw that the truck was speeding up again. Speeding up that much it approached the side.

Kwang-Beom bracing himself for impact from the side, yet the truck drove straight past him. With quick pants, his hands had become sweaty on the steering wheel. – “Kwang-Beom!” – you let out, pointing firmly to the front. The truck had turned around. Facing with its snout right at your truck. Gasping loud, hands shooting up to your mouth in shock, you watched as Captain Ri jumped with the motorcycle up on the highway.

Kwang-Beom hitting the gas hard to not overrun his captain. You shot forwards, feeling your seatbelt kick in hard in your shoulder. Eyes wide staring at Captain Ri letting his motorcycle go side-ways. Rolling off as it kept sliding forwards.

Heart pounding intensely in your chest, eyes hurting from staring so wide open in horror. Watching as the motorcycle crashed into the truck. Getting under the wheels to release a blow. Captain Ri shooting at the truck. With a few bullets the engine caught fire. Exploding the hood off. Panting loud, he stumbled a bit back.

You were struggling to get your seatbelt off. – “No!” – Kwang-Beom said with a panic as you desperately tried to free yourself. The seatbelt cut free as you shoved the door open. Captain Ri slowly turning towards your truck. – “Jeong-Hyeok!” – you called out running up to him.

With pants he came nearer. Running up to you. – “Jeong-Hyeok!” – you repeated with bliss. Eyes teary that you had one last opportunity to see him. From behind him, you saw that the door had opened. A soldier stumbling out. Achingly he got up, raising his hand forwards with a gun. It made you gasp loud, Captain Ri just a few seconds away from you.

Shuddering out a breath, you grabbed him by his shoulders. Turning him around, clamping hard onto him. Feeling the sudden sting of a bullet cut through your flesh. A painful gasp left your mouth as you stumbled forwards. Captain Ri caught you, eyes wide with horror at the clear shot wound on you. Captain Ri saw the man who had shot you, drop down.

Looking over his shoulder, he saw Kwang-Beom with his gun up. The gun falling out of his hand a moment later as he grunted in pain. Captain Ri gasped loud, facing the front once more. Seeing how the second soldier had shot him as well. Jeong-Hyeok pulled out his gun, shooting him in the chest with two bullets. Dropping his weapon, he turned his attention back to you. Staring in shock at you. Hand hovering shakingly over your back.

Blinking with much effort, you let out a deep exhale. Knees becoming weak as Captain Ri stumbled to the ground with you. – “Y/n!” – his voice shaky with worry as his hand brushed up your cheek. Trying to get some reaction out of you. Kwang-Beom limped closer. – “Is… is she alright?” – he asked, wanted to know. – “She needs to go to the hospital!” – Captain Ri called out. – “But… but the flight, her way out…” – Kwang-Beom responded.

“Now!” – Captain Ri shouted loud, body trembling with rage. Kwang-Beom nodded shakily. Jeong-Hyeok picked you up, carrying you back to the car. Setting you in the back. Biting his lip, letting his gaze go away from you, he had to do a lot of effort to not cry. Your hand falling out of his. Kwang-Beom wanted to get behind the wheel as he stopped him. – “You are in no state to drive!” – he made clear. His soldier nodded getting in the back with you.

He let your head rest on his shoulder, holding your hand. Captain Ri stepped on the gas. Racing by the crash scene to hurry up to the nearest hospital. His knuckles white from grabbing the steering wheel so tight. Kwang-Beom held on tight to you so you wouldn’t shake around that much in the car. Going off the highway, Captain Ri rode to the nearest town. Stopping the car in front of the hospital.

Swinging the door open, he took you from his soldier. Carrying you inside in a state of panic. – “Help me!” – he cried out. Turning around with you in his arms to any willingly person to help. – “Help me!” – he repeated in a raging trembling voice. Soon some nurses and a doctor gave rushing over to him. Captain Ri laid you down on one of the rolling beds they had brought along. Grabbing your hand firm, he started running along with them.

Seeing you slightly move your head in discomfort. – “Hold on Y/n.” – he said with reassurance. – “Don’t leave me!” – he let out as a nurse came blocking his path. Feeling his hand slip out of yours as they went further with you. Him staying behind as the doors closed before him. Blinking rapidly, he wasn’t sure if he could keep his tears at bay this time.

“You can wait here sir.” – the nurse spoke gesturing  at some seats in the waiting room. Captain Ri walked over to it. Unable to sit down, knowing you were in surgery now. Pacing back and forth, he felt his anger boil. Wanting to curse at his own country for hurting you. In a fit of rage, he called it out, throwing some magazines against the wall. One of the nurses at the desk came running over, asking him to remain calm or he would be seen out.

Sitting down, he buried his face in the palms of his hands. Sobbing quietly that in the end he couldn’t protect you. He should’ve seen it coming and took the bullet for you. Not the other way around. You needed to be on that plane to get back to your country safely. He was supposed to get you out of the dangers of his own country against your origins.

He got startled feeling a sudden hand on his shoulder. With puffy red eyes, he looked up to a nurse holding a clipboard up. Not sure how long he had been crying or had dozed off. – “Your wife is out of surgery and will recover well.” – she told him. Knowing the nurse must have presumed you were his wife, he didn’t comment on it to correct her. Inhaling deep, he wiped his cheeks dry. Getting up to follow her to your room.

The moment the door open, he stopped in shock. Frozen to the ground upon the sight of you. Laying peacefully down in the hospital bed. The nurse gestured for him to enter, leaving with a bow. Jeong-Hyeok hesitantly entered the room more. Walking up to your bed. Kneeling down at the side of your bed. Fingers curling up to his palms with a lowered head.

“I…I’m sorry Y/n… I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.” – he said with shame. – “I…I promise you to do better. To have you in my sight no matter what. That I promise you.” – lifting his head up to engrave his promise to you. Getting back up to his feet, he took a seat further away from your bed. Watching you. Keeping a close eye on you. Kwang-Beom entered the room a few hours later all patched up. Captain Ri shook his head. Letting him know you hadn’t woken up just yet.

Kwang-Beom lowered his head saddened. Taking his leave once more. Captain Ri returning to his duty of watching over you. Tugging you in better. Making sure the temperature in the room was just right. Closing the curtains more when the sun would shine on your face. Tending to the flowers he had bought for you. Making sure you could see them well when you would wake up.

Setting up scented candles, the one’s you liked the most to make it as comfortable for you as possible. Kwang-Beom and the other comrades coming in from time to time. Each time disappointed with the fact that you hadn’t woken up just yet. Captain Ri refused to move from his station. Staying even the night in the most discomfortable position on the chair.

Captain Ri got up, taking the burned up scented candle with him. Leaving your room to replace it for a new one. Taking one more glance at you with the morning glow behind you before taking his leave. Wincing with your eyebrows, you groaned softly under your breath. Moving your head in a restless way to slowly wake up.

Fluttering your eyelashes, waking up to the blissful morning. Pushing yourself a bit up, you sat up straighter. Feeling a numb pain in your shoulder. Touching your forehead, you felt some restrictions on your hand. Looking confused down at the infuse in your hand. Confused you looked around at your new surroundings. Your eyes falling on the flowers on the windowsill. The smell of a scented candle still subtle in the room.

The door slid open as it drew your immediate attention. Captain Ri walked in, eyes widening at you. Shocked to see you awake. So shocked that he dropped the scented candle on the ground. The shattering of glass startled you. – “You are awake.” – he breathed out. – “I am now.” – you responded hinting at the breaking of the glass.

Captain Ri leaned back into the hallway. – “Call in a doctor! She is awake!” – he shouted into the hallway. Doctors and nurses entered as Captain Ri stumbled back into the hallway. Turning away from your room. Bringing his hand to his eyes. Sputtering out a loud sob. Squatting down as he quietly sobbed with relief.

You tried to look past the nurses for him. – “Your husband is very sweet.” – one of the nurses said making you hum curiously. – “He hasn’t left your side for a moment. I have never seen a man cry and tend to their wife with such care.” – she giggled finding it sweet. Doctors and nurses left the room once more. Captain Ri reappearing in the door opening once more.

“Jeong-Hyeok.” – you said with a smile. He curled up a smile back, stepping into the room. Walking up to you. You opened your arms to him as he came sitting on the side of your bed. Leaning in to you so you could wrap your arms around him. Exhaling relieved at the comforting embrace from you. Your eyes widened briefly feeling his arms wrap around your waist. Embracing you with a deepening touch. – “Don’t ever take a bullet for me.” – he spoke. – “That is my job.”

You felt him remove himself from the embrace. Touching your cheek caringly with his thumb. Staring longingly back at you. Realising his feelings for you as they had became clear ever since the incident. Waking up from a dream. – “Jeong-Hyeok.” – you whispered out with slight furrowed brows. Trying to understand the meaning behind his gaze. Jeong-Hyeok curled up a smile.

“A part of me is glad you didn’t take that plane.” – he spoke. It made you blink caught off guard. – “For I can have you just a bit longer.” – he finished. Leaning in closer as he brought your face closer to him. Kissing your lips tenderly, caring and full of love for the South Korean girl that came from the sky.

If you think they’d be from a smaller house, go with the Great House that that smaller house is sworn to (ex: House Manderly —> vote Stark)

They don’t have to be a nobleperson, they can be someone working for the house or being ruled by them. Roles could be a sworn-sword, a septa, a butcher, a blacksmith, or even a lowly peasant.

You can consider the region itself. For example, if you feel the character would be from Dorne, pick House Martell.

You can consider the personality of the character. For example, if your character is all about honor, then consider either House Arryn or House Stark.
