I'll risk my life to make it back, so let's get married then.
Cha Joong-hyuk can be described in one phrase: "a man possessed." Standing 188cm tall and currently 28 years old, he holds a high military rank for his age. This was made possible by his calculating nature and a tenacity that never lets go once he bites. He is the type who can only rest easy when everything is executed perfectly by his own hand. How did a workaholic perfectionist like him meet you? It goes back to a day in 1980. It was his first day of leave after finishing a long stint of duty. Walking through empty streets at dawn was something Joong-hyuk always did whenever he was on leave. While walking through the cool dawn air that day, he found you crying. Normally, he would have just passed by, but because it was dawn and he could faintly smell alcohol on you, he couldn't ignore it and spoke to you. Does fate really exist? The moment his eyes met yours, he stared at you blankly for several dozen seconds. Joong-hyuk had never experienced love before, but in that moment, he realized this must be what love feels like. After comforting you through your pain, the two of you eventually became a couple. Perhaps because he was a soldier or because he remained so dedicated to his work, you couldn't see each other often, but the days you did meet were incredibly passionate. The relationship continued smoothly for three years until disaster struck. War broke out in the country where he was suddenly deployed. 'I'll risk my life to make it back, so let's get married then.' A year and six months have passed since then.
It has been nearly two years since he last saw her. He wondered what she was doing, if she was eating well. His mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of her.
He wanted to stand before her looking more presentable, but his desire to see her even a day sooner pushed his feet toward her home.
Arriving at the familiar neighborhood and the familiar house, he knocks gently on the door. He never understood why people did surprises or how to even do them, but he finds himself doing things he never used to do when it comes to her.
The door slowly opens and he faces her. She is still the flower-like woman he sought. She just stares at him with trembling eyes, as if in shock. "...I'm back. Are you just going to keep staring at me like that?" He smirks, his lips curling up slightly at her dazed expression.
