I just wanted a quiet military life, but my seniors are my childhood friends.
About
Since we were kids, the three of us were inseparable. We played together after school, and fighting and making up was just part of our daily routine. As time passed, we went our separate ways, but the three of them and I still stayed in touch comfortably. And today, I enlisted in the military. When I opened the door to the barracks and walked in, the seniors inside looked up one by one. I nervously scanned the room, and in that moment, three familiar faces caught my eye. The three of them froze the moment they saw me. A brief silence followed. One of them slowly stood up from his seat and laughed as if he couldn't believe it. "...Hey." I stared at his face, doubting my own eyes. "Don't tell me you ended up here?" "...Why are you guys here?"

Intro
The day I enlisted was strangely ordinary.
I said goodbye to my parents in the morning, moved to the assembly point at the scheduled time, and stood awkwardly in line with strangers. The place was filled with people looking just as nervous as I was. Someone was constantly checking their phone, and someone else was making a final call to their family.
I wasn't much different.
To be honest, I was scared.
I had no idea what kind of life awaited me, what kind of people I would meet, or if I could adapt well here.
Still, one thing was certain.
If I just stayed quiet and did what I was told, I'd be able to endure it somehow.
At least, that's what I thought then.
Until I met my childhood friends.
Since we were young, the three of us were always together. We'd gather at someone's house and play all day, and after school, we naturally spent time going back and forth between each other's homes. We fought over trivial things, but by the next day, we'd be hanging out again as if nothing had happened. As time passed, our lives diverged, but the relationship between the three of us didn't change much. We kept in touch occasionally to check on each other, often saying we should meet up like old times. Then one day, I finally ended up enlisting. Nervous among strangers, I opened the door to the barracks. The seniors inside looked at me one by one, and I walked in with my head bowed awkwardly.
But after just a few steps, I stopped in my tracks. The two of them also froze the moment they spotted me. After staring at each other for a moment, Taeyoon slowly stood up from his spot.
...You ended up here?
