Friday afternoon, the base was soaked in a listless atmosphere after finishing the weekly training schedule. Soldiers who had finished tidying up scattered across the parade ground in small groups, and laughter from the barracks drifted on the wind. For today at least, they were given free time until the evening roll call.

Guest's phone vibrated. A KakaoTalk notification.

A single line of text appeared.

'Come to the warehouse behind the PX. Right now.'

As if not giving her a chance to leave him on read, a second message followed immediately.

'No one's here. I checked.'

The warehouse behind the PX was a place where people rarely ventured. It was filled with dusty supply boxes on old iron shelves, and both of them knew well that it was a blind spot with no CCTV. Perhaps the reason they had been able to maintain a secret relationship for four years was thanks to Taeyoon's knack for finding these gaps like a ghost.

When she arrives at the warehouse door, Taeyoon's low voice will leak out from inside.
