      by Emerlyn — Adopting Haero doesn't make them a real family. He just had a strong conviction that this wasn't the right way. "I'll make sure Haero doesn't cause any more trouble. Thank you for letting me know in advance." ―Is this choice for you or for Haero? "The choice I'm making is for him." With this firm answer, Yoon Sang-won, who had tightly pressed his lips, spoke in a hoarse voice. ―You're an inescapable soldier after all. "Did you just realize that now?" Yoon Sang-won smiled bitterly.…

      by Emerlyn — ‘It felt as if a huge hand had entered my body, grabbing my lungs and heart at once and yanking them downwards. Was gravity always this heavy? My body felt as heavy as the deep sea.’ "Cadet Haero, can you hear me?" ‘A cadet has a status akin to a soldier. The instructors treat cadets as soldiers, not students. I should be used to this by now, but why does it feel so unfamiliar with Yoon Moo-hwa? As if I'm standing before him for the first time.’ The word "cadet" chokes Haero's throat.…

      by Emerlyn — More precisely, the culprit appeared in person. "Are you running off to tattle?" It was natural to be bewildered by someone who grabbed him in the corridor leading to his room and suddenly seemed ready to beat him up. Haero didn't even know the person's name to begin with. "Hey, Gorin. Come here." A startled Tan Shui came belatedly to intervene, but Gorin, with crazed eyes, didn't listen. One of Gorin's parents was a major shareholder in a media company known for third-rate gossip and B-grade…

      by Emerlyn — The overnight leave time for new cadets is very short. It's so brief that it might be more appropriate to call it an outing. Yoon Moo-hwa, whose return time was delayed due to refueling, ended up being the one to send Haero off instead of the other way around. It was the first time, because everytime before, Haero had been the one to see him off and wait. This kind of farewell was also a first. Yoon Moo-hwa rubbed his slightly stubbly cheek, not having shaved yet, and picked up the note left on…

      by Emerlyn — After returning home, Haero tossed and turned in bed for a while before getting up to find some medicine. A small light was on in the living room. Since both Yoon Moo-hwa and Haero usually slept in complete darkness, this light meant someone was still awake. Yoon Moo-hwa was there. Slightly away from the light, in the deep darkness, he was wearing headphones. Haero couldn't tell what he was listening to, but he could see that Yoon Moo-hwa was intently focused on something. Haero was about to…

      by Emerlyn — 'We.'  How powerful that word is. In an instant, it can make us comrades, conspirators, accomplices, or even family from lovers. That word sounded especially sweet when spoken by Yoon Moo-hwa. Apart from the incident, Haero was overwhelmed by each small expression that he would normally take for granted. "As long as it's not us, you don't need to worry. It doesn't look like you'll be losing any hair over this." Yoon Moo-hwa's smile scattered briefly and then disappeared. It was a fake smile…

      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…

      by Emerlyn — Haero knocked on the door of the supervisor's office. "Yeah. Come in." At the answer from across, he opened the door to find the supervisor looking up from something he had been scribbling. When Haero saluted, the supervisor returned it with a very relaxed posture before burying his head back on the desk and mumbling, "Phone call. Answer it." Haero put the still-connected phone to his ear. "Cadet Haero speaking." ―Hello, Haero. A deep, pleasant voice with just a hint of amusement,…
