Chapter Index

    “Hey, now that training is over, can we talk for a moment?”

    Even though I had already expressed my intention to decline once, I felt the small child inside me, or rather the tree frog, raise its head, but I held back.

    I wanted to bounce him one more time and see his reaction, but I didn’t have a good reason to do that.

    Just like the day before, I thought it was a bit weird to decline the invitation by saying I had to go back urgently because there was someone waiting.

    So I thought about it for a while… Did he consider my silence a precursor to rejection?

    “Honestly, it’s a bit weird to go home in that condition, right?”

    Rachel quickly came up with a message to persuade me.

    I don’t know anything else, but no matter how much I said, I had no choice but to admit it.

    After all, he goes home in this condition?

    The moment that happened, I couldn’t help but say a hundred words.

    Starting with Ra-hee’s comment about what on earth she was doing outside so long-sleeved clothes became short-sleeved, Ari, who returned to Seoul after finishing her business in Sejong, would also quietly add a comment to that.

    Even if you don’t watch it, the video was originally just the two of them bickering, but after the main character appeared, the two quickly got over their awkward relationship and became closer quickly.

    Since it wasn’t just a day or two that we bickered over each other, we knew each other very well and the combination was just amazing.

    But you get attacked by those two?

    It was clear that I wouldn’t be able to endure it for long.

    “That’s true, but…”

    So, on my way back home, I stopped by a department store or something and was thinking about buying a new one.

    That’s what I meant when I answered that way.

    I don’t know how she interpreted my answer, but as soon as the words came out of my mouth, Rachel’s face brightened noticeably.

    “So, I saved one that is identical to the one ‘Yoon’ is wearing right now, so could you give me a moment?”

    “In the meantime, are you talking about it?”

    “Yes.”

    I have no intention of denying it…

    Is it because he is a soldier?

    The attitude was very refreshing.

    And at this point, I felt like refusing any more would be trampling on Rachel’s face, so I was a little reluctant to do that.

    “···I understand. Please do so.”

    So I completely withdrew the attitude I had shown in front of her so far and eventually nodded, but when Rachel heard my answer, she expressed her joy by clenching her fists.

    No, is that something to be happy about?

    I wonder how much I fell in love with martial arts…

    “So, where should I go? Can I just go to that cafeteria?”

    “No.”

    “Then…?”

    “Let’s go to my accommodation.”

    What…?

    No, you’re inviting a man to your dormitory where you live alone at this late hour (8 PM)…?

    Isn’t that too bold?

    Indeed… is this the spirit of Cheonjo-guk?

    “Well, it doesn’t really matter where the location is, but is it okay?”

    “Are you okay? What does that mean again?”

    “The accommodation is a place where you live alone, right?”

    “Of course.”

    “But even if you invite me to a place like that at this time…”

    Is it really okay?

    Couldn’t someone else see that and spread the rumor?

    As I silently pondered my remarks, which contained many meanings, I wonder if, belatedly, I realized what kind of ‘worry’ was contained therein.

    Hwaaa!

    Rachel’s face became noticeably red, as if a sound effect was ringing in her ears.

    Then, despite the attitude he had shown up until now, he started to snap a little.

    “Well… Um, it’ll be okay… In the first place, there aren’t many people staying in the dormitories for female military officers…”

    “Ah… I see.”

    “If you are convinced, shall I go? Then?”

    “Yes… That’s right. If you take the lead, we will follow you.”

    .

    .

    Now that I think about it, this was my first time.

    So… she invited the man to her personal space for personal reasons, not for work reasons.

    ‘Oh, isn’t it…? ‘Is it a work-related reason?’

    To be honest, there is no choice but to be confused.

    Is that why?

    Responsibility for the chaos it caused could not help but be shifted to men.

    ‘Yoon’ shouldn’t be upset about this either, because if he hadn’t said something strange, she wouldn’t have felt so embarrassed.

    “Are you here?”

    “···Yes.”

    “I couldn’t go to the military due to some circumstances… but just by looking at it, the facilities look really good.”

    “Well…it’s the United States and the U.S. military.”

    “Ah.”

    Of course, other than that reason, there was some influence from the family’s efforts, but we decided not to reveal that fact for now.

    It wasn’t for the same reason, because I didn’t want to give the other person the impression that I was relying on my family’s power.

    That’s not why… considering the negotiations that would begin in the future, it seemed better to hide the decisive loss as much as possible.

    “First, come in.”

    “Then, please excuse me.”

    No, but maybe this strangely awkward atmosphere is good…?

    I know that it’s natural for things to be awkward, whether from one side or the other, but isn’t this a bit…excessive?

    What if we just look at the level of awkwardness between her and ‘Yoon’ right now?

    It wasn’t much different from the situation in the Korean dramas she once enjoyed watching.

    Why isn’t that there?

    This is a situation where the male protagonist temporarily becomes dependent on the female protagonist’s house for one reason or another.

    The male protagonist visits the female protagonist’s house for the first time due to a sudden heavy rain or the female protagonist accidentally spilling a lot of something on the male protagonist’s clothes. Due to the fact that they were visiting the other person’s house, the other one felt awkward and nervous because a man was in a place that had always been their own space, and eventually one of them slipped and fell on the bed.

    ‘Ji, what on earth am I thinking…!’

    That’s crazy.

    It must have been crazy.

    Since I was part of a unit that had to adapt to the situation more often than following a set schedule, I didn’t have any hobbies to enjoy, so I just watched Korean dramas all the time, but maybe my brain was being eaten away by them.

    I shook my head, horrified by the unpredictable feast of imagination blooming in my head.

    The reason she invited ‘Yoon’ here in the first place was to check whether what she heard through Lieutenant General Romay, the commander of this camp, was true, and if so, to see if there was any solution, and if so, to find out what I could do. Because there was absolutely nothing.

    ‘Well… I don’t know anything else, but I do have a preference for the body.’

    Startle···!

    No, did something really happen to my hair?

    Why do I keep thinking useless thoughts before something important…

    She’s human, too, so sometimes there comes a day when her desires boil over to the point where she can’t bear it, but there’s still some time left before that day comes.

    Really, why are you doing this?

    I wanted to give her a few special fist injections on her head to help her come to her senses, but I felt like if I did that, the other person would look at her strangely, so I held back.

    I held back and quickly shook my head instead, but as if he had some doubts after seeing her movements, I heard a man’s voice from behind me.

    “Rachel? Any problem…?”

    “No! First of all, would you like to take a seat? I’ll bring the shirt right away.”

    “Ah, yes.”

    “And if you need a drink…”

    I said that I could say as much as I wanted, but after hearing that and thinking about it for a while, ‘Yoon’ continued speaking in a cautious voice.

    “Then can I have a glass of water? I don’t know if it’s because it’s a dry day, but I’m a little thirsty.”

    “Ah, yes.”

    In some ways, it wasn’t a really special answer, but honestly, I was happy to hear it.

    That’s because the fact that he didn’t reject her offer meant that he was willing to talk to her.

    So I hurriedly stopped by the bedroom and picked up the shirt that was lying on the bed, and on my way back to the living room, I stopped by the kitchen and packed some ice water before returning to ‘Yoon’s side.

    “Well, you don’t have to do this.”

    “Ah, um.”

    “Still, you went so far as to buy it, but it’s not polite to keep refusing…”

    Doesn’t ‘Yoon’ naturally start taking off his shirt after accepting what she offers him?

    She was very embarrassed by the sudden incident, so she was unable to stop the man in time.

    Thanks to this, the man’s upper body, full of fierce muscles and scars that made everyone who saw it cringe, was revealed in its entirety.

    ···gulp.

    Looking back, it was truly a great body.
