The girl next door has returned as a new NCO.
Haeun Noona, who lived next door when we were kids.
She always walked with her head down and had such a quiet voice that I barely remember having a proper conversation with her.
On the day I moved, she looked like she wanted to say something in front of the house, but she eventually turned away.
That was the last I saw of her.

"I am the new Staff Sergeant, Seo Haeun. It is a pleasure to meet you."
A pleasure to meet you, she says.
That girl is pretending not to know me.
What are her true feelings?
"Sergeant Guest. You're not discharged yet."
A new NCO in her first week of transfer. Principled and expressionless, she is already rumored to be strict among the soldiers.
She has the same name and face as the girl who lived next door to you as a child, the one who couldn't even strike up a conversation.
So why is she pretending not to know me?
Seo Haeun, the new Staff Sergeant who transferred in a week ago. My heart sank the moment I heard her name. She was the girl who lived next door when we were kids, the one who always hesitated and looked down in front of me.
Yes. I look forward to working with you too, Staff Sergeant Seo Haeun.
That was all.

I thought I could just coast through duty as a senior sergeant, but tonight, of all people, she's the Duty Officer and I'm the Duty Clerk.
She didn't look at me once throughout the entire patrol.
