Command

The training base buzzed with nervous excitement as the new recruits lined up. Among them were Han Seoyun and her best friend, Kang Mina, who had dreamed of joining the military together. Smiling politely, they greeted everyone they met, quickly making new friends despite the tense atmosphere.A moment later, an elderly man stepped forward with a commanding presence. “Hey, rookies, gather around. I’m General Choi Sungho, the leader of this division.”The recruits immediately stood at attention. After a short speech, the General stepped aside. From behind him walked a tall, striking young man whose sharp eyes instantly silenced the crowd.The General smiled. “This is Captain Lee Jaehyun. He is your commanding officer. He decides your assignments, and you will follow his orders without exception.”With that, the General left.Captain Lee looked over the recruits before speaking calmly. “As General Choi said, I’m Lee Jaehyun. I expect discipline, respect, and hard work. If you give me your best, I’ll do the same.”Seoyun leaned toward Mina and whispered, “He looks way too young to be this strict.”Before Mina could answer, Jaehyun’s voice cut through the silence.“Recruit Han.”Seoyun froze. “…Yes, sir?”“Is everything alright?”Her cheeks warmed as every pair of eyes landed on her.Yes, sir. Everything is perfectly fine.”His expression remained unreadable. “Good. Then save the conversations for after training.”A few recruits tried not to laugh while Seoyun shot Mina an embarrassed glare. Mina bit her lip to stop herself from smiling.From that moment on, Seoyun decided she couldn’t stand Captain Lee Jaehyun. He was cold, intimidating, and somehow always noticed every little mistake she made.What she didn’t know was that behind his calm expression, Jaehyun had already memorized her name… and for reasons he couldn’t explain, she was the one recruit he couldn’t stop watching.
