While playing around comparing heights, I pulled out a cigarette from my pocket and put it in my mouth.
“Sis, this isn’t a smoking area here.”
“It’s not a non-smoking zone either.”
“Uh… enjoy your smoke.”
“Oya.”
[LOL, this crazy girl.]
[Autumn, you messed up 901 and now you’re gone.]
“Where am I going? Don’t you see my sturdy kid right here? Even if a tiger comes, I’d feel safe.”
[LOL, true that.]
[Isn’t it too safe? Even the tiger would run away.]
After crushing the burnt-out cigarette, I looked at Gang-cheol and then reached out my hand toward him.
“Give me a piggyback ride.”
“…Huh?”
“Piggyback!”
“It’s dangerous.”
“Piggyback!!”
After some hesitation, Gang-cheol knelt down. I put my legs over his shoulders and patted him, and he stood up.
Instantly, I felt like I was soaring into the sky, and my view rose dramatically.
“Wow, this is insane. It’s so high.”
“Should I let you down if you’re scared?”
“Where else would I get to experience this?”
[Damn, damn, damn, why couldn’t I get into 901?]
[This guy’s leaks are driving me crazy.]
[If I don’t get the next wish ticket, I’m gonna lose my mind.]
“Cheol, are my thighs warm?”
“….”
“Next up is the grand operation to save my kid. The sergeant will brag about me while heading to the next destination.”
As Gang-cheol started moving slowly, it felt like the world was shaking.
“But where are we going?”
“I got permission from the Battalion Commander, so I’ll show you around.”
“Nice, nice.”
The soldiers and non-commissioned officers we passed saluted Gang-cheol and looked at us with confused faces.
[This duo is a legendary pair of crazies LOL.]
[LOLOLOL, so funny.]
Then, a group of soldiers stopped in front of us.
“Gang-cheol, what are you doing?”
The soldier asking the question looked up and saw me sitting on Gang-cheol’s shoulders, his eyes widening in surprise.
“Who’s that?”
“Attention! This is our sister. I got permission from the Battalion Commander to show her around.”
“Oh… uh, okay. You two look so… alike.”
[LOLOLOL, Beauty and the Beast in real life?]
[Are their eyes just for decoration? LOLOL.]
I smiled brightly at the soldiers and said,
“Please take good care of our Cheol.”
“Yes! Of course. We really cherish Cheol. Haha.”
[Cherish my ass LOLOL.]
[Wow, the Room Master is really hyping up the leaks.]
Riding on Gang-cheol’s shoulders, I toured around here and there until…
The place I went to was the gym.
As I walked, the large gray building gradually got closer.
“That’s the physical training room over there.”
When I arrived at the entrance, I could hear a noisy commotion coming from inside.
“Big sis, we’re here.”
“But?”
To my answer, which showed no intention of getting down, Gang-cheol, who had been hesitating, replied.
“Watch your head. Please lower it.”
“Okay, okay.”
As Gang-cheol opened the door and entered, the gazes of the soldiers working out and the broadcasting team filming them all turned towards me.
My unnecessarily attention-grabbing pink hair fluttered in the wind caused by the opening door.
As I hugged Gang-cheol’s head and entered the gym, the noisy place suddenly became quiet.
“Cheol, why are they all staring at me?”
In the now quiet gym, my voice echoed as if to show off.
“Maybe because you’re too pretty, big sis?”
“I do have some charm.”
[I’m really annoyed, but he’s not wrong lol]
[After hanging out with the room master for a while, even Gang-cheol has become shameless]
[Gang-cheol’s nonsense lololol]
[It’s amazing how such a crowded place got so quiet, and the room master talking like that is impressive lol]
[How can they not stare when she’s riding around like that lololol]
While I was chatting with Gang-cheol, three soldiers who seemed quite old approached. Seeing the colonel and the sergeant major, they seemed to be the battalion commander and the chief master sergeant in charge of logistics.
“Big sis, I think you should get down now.”
“Okay, let me down.”
As I was getting down from his shoulders, the person who seemed to be the battalion commander spoke up.
“Hello. I’m the battalion commander here. I’ve heard a lot about you from Sergeant Gang-cheol.”
“Hello. I’m Han Ga-eul. Did Cheol talk about me?”
“I heard about you yesterday. That you dislike pretentiousness, sing well, and are beautiful. Seeing you in person, it seems Sergeant Gang-cheol was only telling the truth.”
[Battalion Commander, our room master is just a crazy woman with no brakes]
[Domhwangcha, she’s here]
I glanced at Gang-cheol and saw that he was embarrassed.
“Thanks to you, Battalion Commander, I got a good look around. Thank you.”
“Haha, I should be thanking you. I heard you promoted us during the broadcast. Since you’re here, how about experiencing our unit as well?”
“Experience?”
As I expressed my doubt, he gestured towards the broadcasting camera that was filming and suggested we try various things together.
“Then can you lend me a combat uniform? What I’m wearing isn’t suitable for active movement.”
“Of course, it’s only natural if you’re helping out together.”
At the words of the battalion commander, who looked as friendly as the neighborhood uncle, Gang-cheol and I headed to the supply warehouse to get new combat uniforms.
“Cheol, how do I look?”
“You look incredibly good.”
Gang-cheol gave me a thumbs up at my words.
[ㅗㅜㅑ Next life, I want to be a combat uniform top.]
[The combat uniform is bursting!]
[Was the combat uniform this sexy? LOL]
Looking at the chat, I bowed my head and saw my chest swelling as if it was about to burst through the stiff combat uniform.
“Damn it. What am I supposed to do with such big boobs?”
[ㅗㅜㅑ This is so funny LOL]
Moving around, the uniform, true to what the Special Operations Unit wears, was very comfortable and flexible despite being a military uniform.
“Cheol, can you put a parachute mark on me too?”
“Miss, you need to complete airborne training like helicopter rappelling for that.”
“If you go to the military supply store, they’ll put it on for 2,000 won.”
Gang-cheol made a face of disbelief at my words.
“….How do you know that?”
[LOL How did you know?]
[The room master is definitely a female college student who served in the military.]
“Civilians wearing military uniforms is actually a violation of military law. We’re wearing them with the battalion commander’s permission. So even if you wear the uniform, you shouldn’t put on the mark.”
“Ugh, that’s stingy.”
“What can’t be done, can’t be done.”
As Gang-cheol and I chatted and walked, we soon arrived back at the gym. Opening the door and entering, the friendly-looking battalion commander greeted us.
“Oh my. I’ve never seen such a handsome soldier before. Miss Ga-eul, it suits you very well.”
I smiled at the complimenting battalion commander and playfully tattled.
“Commander, Cheol didn’t put a mark on me. He said it’s against the law.”
The battalion commander laughed heartily at my words, then took off the black snake warrior patch, the mark of the 901 Special Operations Unit, from his chest and handed it to me.
The mark I received was much more elaborate than those of other soldiers, possibly because it was exclusive to the battalion commander, and the border of the mark was also gold.
“Wow… it’s cool. Can I really put this on?”
“I don’t understand why a stylish person like you would like a creepy snake.”
The battalion commander, with a pleasant smile, continued.
“The same insignia adds a sense of belonging. It’s important for soldiers. But an insignia is just an insignia. Some soldiers take too much pride in just a patch.”
I put the received mark on my chest and showed it to the battalion commander, who smiled and gave me a thumbs up.
As I was showing off my clothes to the battalion commander and Cheol, a voice calling Gang-cheol from afar was heard.
“Gang-cheol. Stop fooling around and come up for training.”
Gang-cheol said he’d be back and left.
He stepped onto the ring that called him and slipped on the gloves.
While chatting, he was suddenly called onto the ring, and soon they started exchanging punches.
I wondered if this sudden training was because of the special operations unit, and since the battalion commander was just standing there, I figured it wasn’t my place to intervene. So, I went closer to the ring to watch Cheol spar.
As I moved toward the ring, three officers followed me.
The sound of boots stomping on the ring echoed loudly as one of them threw a punch.
A soldier much shorter than Gang-cheol, who’s 189cm tall, was throwing punches at him while moving his feet in a flashy manner.
[Why is he just taking hits like that?]
[The weight difference is insane, isn’t it?]
“Battalion Commander, is this how they usually train?”
“Hmm, I guess so. It does look a bit odd.”
Even after watching for a while, I felt frustrated because Gang-cheol was only passively defending.
I could even see his wrists turning red from blocking with open-finger gloves.
The opponent kept hitting his guard and even landed blows to his stomach. Gang-cheol just took it silently, occasionally pretending to counter.
The ring looked more like a scene of violence than sparring. Feeling this wasn’t right, I shouted at Gang-cheol.
“Gang-cheol! What the hell are you doing, you idiot? Stop just taking hits and fight back!”
Finally, blood burst from Gang-cheol’s arm. Seeing that, I got so angry I started yelling, but someone behind me spoke up.
“This is how we usually train. Please don’t interfere.”
I turned to look and saw a sergeant with an unusually fat build, which didn’t fit the special operations unit.
“Usually? You fat North Korean pig, who said this is usual? I’ll turn you into minced pork, you bastard. Get up here, you maggot.”
[Oh no, the room master’s lost it.]
[I think Yuchul’s freaking out after seeing the blood.]
[Damn, the room master’s brakes are broken. What do we do?]
