"Aish! Y/n! Why do you sprint like a gazelle?" Jisoo playfully groaned, nonchalantly slinging her bag off her shoulder. Her disheveled hair gave her a whimsical charm, resembling a mischievous jester...

"Am I to be forever shackled in this realm with you?" I bellowed, my fiery gaze piercing through the air as my body ablaze with both fury and perspiration...

"Still holding onto that fiery rage, huh, my little Lady?", She chimed, her voice dripping with warmth and affection. And then, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, her gentle, motherly smile enveloped me, melting away my anger and bringing a sense of calm to my soul.

I halted in my steps, swiftly turning towards her. "You know what? You're a real bumbling fool, My little lady bunny! It's all thanks to your clumsiness that we're both in this mess by that Pineapple head!" With my hands firmly clasped over my chest, my cheeks involuntarily puffed up.

"Seriously, Y/n! You'll never outgrow your mischievous ways," she chuckled, shaking her head with a playful grin.

"Alright, alright! I apologize, my little lady. I promise to keep my clumsiness under lock and key. Are you happy now?" She sauntered towards me, her laughter contagious like that of a carefree child. I couldn't help but break into a smile at the antics of my whimsical friend.

"Omo! Finally, the young lady's face lit up with a radiant smile!" She playfully pinched my plump cheeks, giggling like a mischievous little rabbit. Her laughter echoed like a melody, filling the air with pure delight.

"Aish! Jisoo! Let go of my cheeks already! It's tickling me pink!" I giggled, trying to wriggle free from her grasp. The students passing by couldn't help but burst into laughter, delighting in the spectacle of our silly shenanigans. It was a moment of sheer joy and mirth, turning an ordinary day into a magical memory.

Her pearly whites danced upward as she flashed me a genuine smile, like a burst of sunshine, radiating warmth and happiness.

"Ay, my dear little lady ! Guess what? I've got a jaw-dropping surprise just for you!" With a voice filled with excitement, she abruptly interrupted the melodic moment and snatched my right hand, as if she had just won the grand prize in a game of chance.

"But where-", before I could even finish my word, she cut me off with a mischievous grin and yanked me along in a wild sprint, destination unknown. It was like being caught in a whirlwind of excitement and curiosity, swept away by her infectious enthusiasm.......

...................................

We zoomed through the streets like a couple of wild banshees, racing past ten minutes in a flash. Jisoo's infectious laughter echoed through the air, creating a symphony of joy.

And there I was, desperately hollering at her to ease up on the turbo boost, my voice lost in the wind. The bewildered gazes of passersby followed our mad dash, their eyes wide with bewilderment. But Jisoo remained unfazed by their reactions

"Hey Jisoo, slow down! My legs are waving the white flag!" my words slicing through the air with each breath. The adrenaline pumping through my veins couldn't keep up. My stamina was tapped out, begging for a break.

Out of the blue! she unleashed a scream that could rival the crescendo of crashing waves.

"Y/N, we've made it! Woohoo!"
Her voice burst with uncontainable excitement and joy. And in that split second, she abruptly came to a halt, causing me to collide right onto her shoulder.

My poor nose smacked right into Jisoo's shoulder, igniting a fiery burst of pain. Just as I was about to unleash a scream,

Suddenly!

A thunderous explosion reverberated through the air!
Sending shockwaves through our very core. It was as if The universe conjured up an awe-inspiring twist that left my mind spinning.

My eyes widened in sheer disbelief as I took in the scene before me.

A Military Campus??

"Jisoo, seriously, why did you bring me to this place?!" I murmured, my voice filled with a mix of annoyance and frustration, as I stared at the unexpected scene before me.

But not a single sound escaped her lips, which only heightened my annoyance. In that split second, I whipped my head around, my eyes fixated on her, expecting some kind of reaction.

But Alas!

She was in a total state of blissful oblivion, her eyes locked on the majestic gateway of the campus. It was as if she had been transported to a realm of enchantment, lost in the captivating allure of her daydreams, completely absorbed in thoughts of something or someone far beyond the confines of our reality.

"Jisoo! I need an ans-!" But before I could even finish my sentence, she grabs my hand once more, and off we go, sprinting towards the massive gates of the campus.

The adrenaline surges through my veins, leaving me speechless, unable to let out a single scream.

The sound of boots hitting the ground echoed through the campus, creating a rhythmic symphony of determination. The soldiers moved with a synchronized grace, their movements reflecting the discipline and honor ingrained in their training.

It was as if they were a single entity, bound together by a shared mission. As I watched from the rooftop, I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, knowing that my father, the esteemed Field Marshal, stood at the helm, guiding these soldiers towards greatness. The symphony of discipline and honor continued to resonate through the campus, leaving an indelible mark on my heart.

A soft smile tugs at the corners of my lips, gratitude filling my heart.
It's all thanks to Jisoo that my eyes have beheld the awe-inspiring tapestry of this military campus.

If she hadn't brought me to this place, I would have missed out on witnessing the incredible kindness and unwavering respect these soldiers, guardians of the land, have for their motherland.

And in this haven, nature unveils its hidden splendor, a gem waiting to be discovered. Oh, the beauty that surrounds us, like a symphony of colors and whispers of serenity, beckoning us to embrace its secrets.

The air is crisp, carrying the earthy fragrance of fallen leaves. The trees proudly display their fiery hues of red, orange, and gold, creating a breathtaking tapestry against the clear blue sky.

The gentle breeze rustles through the branches, causing the leaves to dance and twirl, as if celebrating the magic of autumn. It's a scene straight out of a fairytale, where nature's palette comes alive.

With Jisoo by my side, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude for the opportunity to witness such natural beauty. It's moments like these that make memories last a lifetime.

"So, spill the beans! How long have you two been in the midst of this captivating tale?" breaking through that beautiful stillness, my voice emerged, soft and gentle. while my gaze remained fixed upon the field where soldiers honed their skills.

"Huh! What?", Jisoo's voice rang out with a blend of disbelief and astonishment.
In an instant, she whipped her head around, eyes locked on me as if I had just revealed a long-held secret.

With a playful smirk dancing upon my lips, a mischievous fire ignited within my mind. In a swift motion, I turned towards her, like a whirlwind of excitement and intrigue.

"Hold up, what's got you all shook, Jisoo?" I chimed in, a mischievous twinkle in my eyes. Her reaction was priceless, mouth hanging open and eyes as wide as saucers, as if she couldn't fathom what she was hearing.

As I cast my eyes upon her,a gentle smile adorns my lips, captivated by the mesmerizing allure that graces her face.
Her eyes, like pools of stardust, sparkle with a magnetic allure. Her porcelain skin, kissed by sunlight radiates a soft glow. Every delicate curve of her face tells a story of grace and elegance.
And that's why Zitao couldn't resist falling for her.

She furrowed her brows in complete bewilderment, fixing me with a gaze that resembled a perplexed bunny.

"Why that quizzical look, my little lady?" she pondered, her voice a symphony of confusion, playing a perplexing melody.

My smile grew wider, a mischievous twinkle in my eyes, as she posed her intriguing question. With my arms crossed, I held her gaze, anticipation building between us.

"Come on, Jisoo! You practically yanked me out from school, racing through this campus like a pair of wild spirits. And now, you've got me hanging on the edge of my seat, dying to know why we're here. Don't keep me in suspense any longer!" I raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smirk playing on my lips as my voice filled with anticipation and curiosity. Can't wait to hear all the juicy details!

"Ugh, I dragged you here cause this place is drop-dead gorgeous, you know? Plus, I had to meet my father. So, why not bring you along for the ride? I mean, who wants to explore this stunning place alone?" She flashed me a smile, masking the turmoil within, as if playing a game of make-believe but her excuse was as flimsy as a paper airplane caught in a storm.

"Alright, I'll give it to you, this campus is drop-dead gorgeous, and you had to catch up with Uncle Mejor Kim. But.........." I paused, taking deliberate steps towards her with arms Crossed. A mischievous sparkle in my eyes, as her nervous gaze intertwined with mine, creating an electric current that sparked anticipation in the air.

"Is it just your father we're talking about, or does Tao have a role in this too?" Her face went from vibrant to pale in an instant, caught off guard by my words, or should I say, the secret name. But my mischievous gaze persisted, locked with her nervous eyes.

"Whoa! Hold up, Y/N! It's not what you think!", she's all jittery, her gorgeous face all dewy with sweat and her eyes filled with a mysterious fear.

In the blink of an eye, my playful spirit fades, replaced by a profound realization that the tide has turned. Like a delicate butterfly caught in a tempest of emotions, she dances on the edge of vulnerability and apprehension, hesitant to confess her love's intoxication.

A wave of tenderness washed over me, softening the edges of my gaze.

"Jisoo! I saw it, the way his eyes caressed your soul," I whispered. A soft exhale escaped my lips, as if releasing the weight of countless hidden words. It was as if my sigh carried the whispers of a thousand unspoken emotions, floating gently on the breeze.

A serene hush befalls her, a tide of contentment gracing her pearl-like visage. Her eyes, once vibrant as a summer sunrise. Now like wilted roses, their brilliance fades! Yearning for the rain, to wash away the shades.

In that fleeting moment, a sacred stillness embraced us, as if time itself held its breath. Her silence weigh upon my heart. She's been through so much, yet her spirit remains resilient, a beacon of joy. All I want is to see her truly happy, to lift the weight of her past.

Her face held me captive, a canvas of exhaustion and fragility. Within me, a tempest of questions raged, desperate to escape my lips. To unravel the secrets she guards so fiercely.

Don't know why she held back? why she couldn't share the depths of her love? even with me, her closest confidant!

"Who are you two?"

In the midst of our silent exchange, a voice as fierce and powerful as a thunderstorm crashed through the air, shattering the tranquility that enveloped us.

As time stood still, Jisoo and I found ourselves rooted to the spot, our eyes fixated on the enigmatic figure from which that thunderous voice emanated.

The air crackled with anticipation, each heartbeat echoing like the beat of a war drum in my chest. Fear and nervous energy coursed through my veins, intertwining with a sense of exhilaration that danced on the edge of danger.

As we stood frozen in awe, a figure emerged before us, clad in the resolute armor of a warrior. Every inch of his military attire spoke of discipline and honor, a living embodiment of strength and dedication.

In his hands, he cradled a rifle, its weight a testament to the gravity of the situation. But it was his piercing gaze that truly captivated us, as if he could see into the depths of our souls, unraveling our fears and secrets with a single glance.

"I'm asking something!", This time, he erupted in a volcanic eruption of fury! His entire presence transformed into a vortex of seriousness, his beady eyes fixated on us, demanding an answer like a ferocious predator stalking its prey. It was as if the weight of his gaze could topple mountains and silence the chaos of the world.

"I-I'm Jisoo! Kim Jisoo! Mejor Kim Seong-ho's daughter!"
Out of the blue, Jisoo's voice trembled, revealing her inner nerves in a raw and palpable display.

But alas, it appears that this impudent soldier remains unsatisfied by her response, like a stubborn storm refusing to be calmed. His demeanor drips with arrogance, as if he were a peacock flaunting his feathers in a display of dominance.

"As if I would believe you!" he scoffed, a malicious glint in his eyes, his fury igniting like a wildfire in the dead of night.

"No, I swear it's-" I cut her off, my boiling blood fueling a wildfire of anger within me. How dare that rude mouse soldier spew such disrespect our way! My fist clenched, ready to unleash a storm of fury as I locked eyes with him.

"Hey, you! Little mouse! Don't you dare speak to us in such a manner!" I warned, my glare piercing through his arrogance like a bolt of lightning in the night sky.

His plump cheeks flushed crimson with unbridled fury upon hearing my words. Gripping the rifle tightly, his knuckles turned white with fury.

Just as the tension reached its peak, Jisoo swiftly grasped my right hand, her touch a plea to halt any further escalation. The situation grew more intricate, like a tangled web of consequences.

In a sudden twist, a frigid breeze extinguished the fiery rage that consumed me. A mysterious melody played in the depths of my soul, causing my stomach to dance with intrigue.

"What is happening here??"

A tidal wave of sound crashed upon my senses, as the resonant voice, deep as the ocean's depths, reverberated through my being. In that instant, my racing heart fell silent, held captive by the ethereal presence that stood before me.

With a trance-like gaze, my eyes beheld the enigmatic figure, as if drawn into a realm where words dissolved like whispers on the breeze.................................
