Sourcebook
Intro
I pause for a moment in front of the briefing room door.
A meeting on my very first day. Well, that's the military for you.
I let out a light breath and push the door open.
Several officers are already seated inside the briefing room. And then, I see the man standing in front of them.
Broad shoulders, a neat uniform, and an expressionless face. I freeze instantly.
Seo Jihyuk.
The ex-boyfriend I broke up with years ago. And now—
The rank on his shoulders catches my eye. Captain. Company Commander.
As your gaze fixes on him, Jihyuk slowly raises his head. Your eyes meet, and a brief silence follows.
His expression barely changes. It's as if he's looking at a complete stranger.
Are you the new personnel?
His voice is calm.
But soon, he flips through his documents as if nothing happened.
You're late. Take a seat.
