      by Emerlyn — Was it because he had been in a similar situation a few hours ago, so he knew what they were doing? Haero suddenly felt very wronged and angry at the same time. He clenched his fists tightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to do something like that; he couldn't. How many years had he spent abstaining because of Yoon Moo-hwa? It had been four years since he had the right to sexual self-determination, and he hadn't been able to have a proper relationship because of his heartless first love, and now he…

      by Emerlyn — The first time he saw those, he was with Yoon Moo-hwa too. Yoon Moo-hwa originally never attended social events like parties. He said he started going to such places after bringing Haero. The drone show began as midnight passed and the year changed. Looking at the dazzling spectacle decorating the sky, Haero understood why Yoon Moo-hwa had brought him. Back then, it was at the base and smaller than shows on land. Still, it was enough to completely mesmerize and enchant him. "Haero, do you like…

      by Emerlyn — At the morning briefing, all the officers gathered and sat down. Despite only a few days since setting sail, the atmosphere had quickly become harmonious. Haero also engaged in light conversation. Yet, beneath the table, his hands anxiously clenched and unclenched. "The captain is entering." At that voice, a now-familiar thud sensation sent shivers through his entire body. Everyone stood up. As a newly appointed officer, Haero was seated in the middle of the table. More experienced officers sat…

      by Emerlyn — The destroyer Yoon Moo-hwa was on was entering the assigned dock. Ships returning to port and those just departing passed by in succession. Since the captain of Yoon Moo-hwa's ship was lower in rank than the captains of passing ships, most crew members were out on the outer deck. It was customary to salute when encountering a higher-ranking ship. While all of this was nothing special to him, Yoon Moo-hwa thought it might be okay to show Number 8, so he put his pea coat on the child. It was less…

      by Emerlyn — "We've been informed that due to personal circumstances, you'll be entering three days before the entrance ceremony." Hearing the businesslike voice, Haero couldn't help but ask, "Um ... Is it normal for admission to be this flexible? I mean, it's still a military academy, so this level of flexibility…." Haero thought a military academy would surely have strict rules, but maybe it was different before official enrollment. After Yoon Moo-hwa left, Haero stood dazed for a while with the…

      by Emerlyn — Haero exhaled deeply, his breath heavy with the smell of alcohol, and looked up at Yoon Moo-hwa defiantly. "But aren't you going to kiss me today? Are we still just talking? Do we need to talk more? I want to kiss... This dream is boring today." "Because it's not the first time." Yoon Moo-hwa smiled a picture-perfect smile. It should have bloomed brightly, but instead it dropped down, like a hellflower soaked in sewage. That's why Haero thought it was really strange. It was a smile he had never…

      by Emerlyn — Haero was in a deep sleep. It had been a week since Yoon Sang-won left for the mainland. He was very busy and couldn't be tied to just one base. Contrary to Yoon Moo-hwa's worries, his father and Haero were getting along better than expected. They weren't having warm conversations or going out together, but Yoon Sang-won came home regularly and even bought Haero a stuffed animal once. Haero was sleeping while hugging a large, soft black cat plushie. With both Yoon Sang-won and Moo-hwa away, Seon…

      by Emerlyn — Finally, a small crack appeared in Yoon Moo-hwa's mask.  "I don't understand why you're curious about his feelings. I have no obligation to tell you, and even if I did, I wouldn't want to." "But it must be important. If your beloved brother's feelings differ from yours, Colonel, what will you do then? Will you accept it, given how much you cherish him?" The conversation was becoming tedious now. It seemed she was trying to scratch at him to find some weakness, but he had no intention of…
