Chapter 60: An Outing? A Mission?
They stood there face to face.but then she started to laugh and broke the mood between them before she took off her helmet.
“Huh...”
Dugeol then stepped back. Her face was full of embarrassment and anger.
She threw off her helmet and walked towards Dugeol. She had dark hair and a white skin, she was a beautiful woman with a unique charm. Her overall features were gentle but her eyes looked like it could freeze anything.
“What...what...”
Pong... Pong
She opened her mouth to speak but instead, she hit him with her helmet. He fell down with a grunt and she just walked over him and said,
“This is your fault.”
“If you’re going to keep doing this then fine...”
Pong...
She then hit him again and he couldn’t do anything but clench his chin.
“I’m not your assistant.”
She let out a little laugh.
“Ah... I’m sorry. That person is getting married...”
Pong...
He laughed back with a mocking tone and she hit him again before he could even finish speaking. She was the leader so no one wanted to interfere.
“We won’t interfere. Let’s go.”
Joonghwi then guided the platoon members elsewhere. They didn’t need any more people getting involved, they’ve already reached their goal. All of the eyes and ears focusing on Jaehwang actually wasn’t interrupting him. Things were going up and down and they were all talking about it. Jaehwang began to meddle in and although he wasn’t in the mood, it wasn’t a bad situation.
Although their army was affiliated, they were clearly a powerful team. They became affiliated with them because of the hire soldier system. Crashing into other Gagseogs wasn’t entirely rare and they needed all kinds of contests to settle their endless and useless disputes with each other.
Jaehwang was looking towards Sooji when Joonghwi walked next to him and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Ready to go?”
“Yeah... One minute.”
He answered back and approached Sooji.
She turned her head just in time to see him. She was curious about Jaehwang’s last shot. She had a similar skill so she was curious about it because she didn’t think that she could imitate what he just did.
Jaehwang spoke first.
“It’s been awhile.”
He greeted her and she looked surprised. She felt as if she knew his voice. It sounded extremely familiar, it was a lot like the voice she had been longing for.
“Who are you?”
She asked and Jaehwang then pulled off his hood and answered.
“This is the first time we’ve met since the accident. Hasn’t been about four years now?”
“Huh?”
She looked up at Jaehwang’s face and she could recognize his eyes.
“Hm...”
Sooji then opened her mouth but she couldn’t say anything. She was just staring at his face. It changed a lot but then again, it didn’t change at all. It was him. He was there standing right in front of her.
....It was him... Right there.
She felt her legs getting weak. Her mind was blank and she couldn’t think of anything.
‘My prince.’
Jaehwang was her first love. When she first saw him she knew he was the one. He had a charming face like celebrities on TV. She hasn’t been able to love anyone else since they separated.
She felt as happy as she used to now that they have met again. Her heart was pounding. She couldn’t do anything since that day. She couldn’t forget him and in the end, she asked around and tried to look for him in middle school.
The moment they met again they knew they still felt the same way about each other... they then started walking side by side. She was extremely nervous and calm at the same time but she was happy.
Everything was great... it was the happiest moment in her life.
She was happy with Jaehwang and instantly when she thought of the moments, she then heard his voice.
“I heard that you’re engaged...”
“Oh...”
He said with a low quiet voice as he brought her back to the harsh reality from her fantasy. She hesitated but then, she gave him a nod.
“Oh...yes... it’s true.”
“I see. Congratulations. Well, I guess I’ll see you around.”
Jaehwang said and walked away.
She was about to hold out her hand towards Jaehwang but her superhuman endurance stopped her before she could do it. She had no reason to hold her hand anymore.
She stood there and watched Jaehwang walk away. She would never forget and she would always cherish their memories...
-You’ve met her before?
-Yeah.
-What? That wasn’t even a cool introduction. You barely even said a word.
The spirit complained. They spent a lot of time together so now she understood his situation. He used to feel as if he was going to explode like a volcano but now he had no feelings like that left in him.
-Just, say hello casually. If she’s here then you’ll surely see her again.
-Don’t be so bland...
She continued on and Jaehwang had no idea what she meant and just faintly smiled.
Booom....
The dark green camouflage military bus was being driven down the highway. It finally got off the highway but then got onto a rocky road.
-gwrqw345,221 Repair request... gwrqw345,221 Repair request...
“Pass pass... Ignore it.”
Joonghwi nervously said after they turned to the navigation for the incoming structure request signal.
Peji shook his head at his command and turned down the volume of the navigation.
“That stupid beginner...”
The first patrol came and spread out into two groups. Everything seemed great when they first arrived. The repairs on the military bus went extremely well. The dents made by the oaks were fixed they had placed a fresh layer of paint in it.
Everything seemed great and all the platoon members then got back on for their first mission.
They mastered the patrol course but they weren’t able to receive the mission they wanted. The beginners completed their raid and were given a place to their patrol course and on the first day of their patrol, they received a repair request so they rushed to them in a camping car and was flustered at the fact that they couldn’t repair it. So they had to ask for the beginners for some help during the repairs.
Well... they couldn’t just turn away the request. The problem was that it was a structured signal. The beginners went on their way instantly and ran into a place filled with around 50 monsters.
Joonghwi knew it wasn’t a good idea to go that way. The beginner team was far ahead and they didn’t even go through service for their 15 months of work. The most common number of monsters in the group was just five and that number probably surprised them.
“I miss the oaks.”
“It’s good that we’re safe.”
Joonghwi said and Peji then started to laugh uncontrollably. It wasn’t nervous laughter, it was just that the oaks of base 716 were very wild. They were finally at peace.
Kwangkwangkwang!!
They then heard an exploding noise...
“Huh...”
Something big hit into the bottom of the military bus.
“Boss...”
“What?”
“Will the bus be okay?”
Peji said and gestured towards a certain direction. Joonghwi looked and took a deep breath.
“Mingyeon is here so everything will be okay, right?”
“Well yes but...”
Something happened and Peji was looking at the horrible scene in front of them. He then turned his head and found Songyeon resting on the floor with a mat. The mat was messy and he was clearly tired. He then started to squirm for a long period of time.
He woke up to a very painful sensation in his shoulder. He tried to endure the pain but it was no use.
He found and fixed his dislocated shoulder but it still felt the same.
“Ouch!
Mingyeon then quickly came to help him. Time steadily passed by. With no tension, the patrol was free. Seongyeon tried out the gloves Jaehwang won in the bet while talking with him. He was soon teaching him hand-to-hand combat with their bare hands.
Of course, Seongyeon wasn’t too bad at it. He was very strong and had lots of knowledge about that. He was especially strong in wrestling and martial arts making it very easy for him but he surrendered within three minutes. Even Joonghwi couldn’t believe it.
Jaehwang was given the long distance special list but he made use of a short distance wrestling martial arts to teach him. After about five minutes Seongyeon completely gave up.
Mingyeon healed his shoulder and Seongyeon then stood up. He wasn’t as strong as a Gagseog so the difference in weight and his taller height meant nothing. It still did have a big impact but Jaehang has been training for a long time so he was clearly better than him even though he couldn’t win in terms of strength.
You couldn’t give orders in hand-to-hand combat.
The moment they were tangled he grabbed his arm and he tried to defend himself but he was already struggling. It was supposed to be a five-minute match but time passed by so quick and it lasted a lot longer. It was his first time practicing martial arts so it was very unfamiliar to him.
He carefully stood up but Jaehwang then attacked him again.
“S-stop...”
Jaehwang then let go and passed him a towel after getting up. He then went to his personal storage on the bus and started to change.
“He’s like a monster...”
He looked at him with a resentful facial expression and Seongyeon then walked next to Joonghwi and took a seat.
“Do you feel better now?”
“Yeah.”
“So how’s it going?”
“I’m tired.”
He glanced back and then dusted off his shoulder.
“If you overdo your strength then even your martial arts could become a disadvantage. Isn’t that what went wrong?
He was right. He didn’t know much about it but he knew the basics and thought that strength was the most important thing. So he gave hand-to-hand combat a try but it wasn’t any different than fighting a monster with his bare hands.
But even so, he was good and fighting with his bare hands.
He still liked it even though it included martial arts. He would like to attack by running from a far distance and crashing into him but that would be hopeless considering Jaehwang’s skills.
An Outing? A Mission? The end.
