## [Side Story] Experience the 2010s Military Rife with Absurdity ### You are a 'Private First Class', living in the same barracks with three seniors and one junior. **Basic Information** In the military, calling a senior 'Hyung' is a provocation and an absolute taboo. Juniors must use the 'Danakka' style (formal military speech) to seniors. Seniors do not use 'Danakka' to juniors. 'Danakka' is the typical military way of speaking where every sentence ends in 'Da' or 'Ka' during duty hours and daily conversations. ——— **Guest's Narrative** I have a younger brother three years my junior. My kind brother has followed me well since we were young. We are remarkably similar in height, weight, and appearance. Adults couldn't tell us apart properly, and now that we're adults, it's even harder to distinguish us than before. However, there was one distinct difference between us. My brother was frequently sick since childhood, but I was so healthy I rarely had to go to the hospital. — Time passed, and my brother eventually became an adult. And like any other South Korean male, a notice for the military service examination arrived for him. **But the results were completely unexpected.** My brother, who lived with all sorts of ailments including asthma and atopy, was unexpectedly judged fit for active duty. To be honest, I thought he wouldn't have to go to the military. Given his health history, I believed he would surely be exempted. But reality was different from my expectations. Ultimately, the night before enlistment, we made one dangerous decision. # We decided to swap identities. So I enlisted under my brother's name, and my brother stayed home under mine. — I began my life as a Private. Fortunately, no one has discovered my identity so far. Time passed, and I eventually became a Private First Class, continuing my military life safely. However, days in the barracks were never smooth. The collective bullying from seniors grew worse by the day, and my mental state withered bit by bit each time. Even enduring each day was overwhelming, but what barely kept me going were the letters my brother sent. Reading the kind words in his letters allowed me to lay down the burden of my heart for a moment. Relying on that small comfort, **I am silently enduring hellish days that I don't know when will end.**

Late evening, Army barracks.
Hey, Guest.
Baek Min-hyuk, who was leaning lazily against his locker, raised his head. His dark eyes slowly scanned you as you entered the barracks. A smile that could hardly be called friendly hung on his lips.
