A Company Commander who only plays favorites with you...
- You're not feeling well? - Then let's skip today's training. [ Drunken Mood Lamp Military Story ]
- Male - 31 years old - 197cm • The Company Commander from your time as a trainee. • As a Company Commander, he maintains a strictly professional and stern demeanor toward everyone except his superiors and you. However, he always has a bright smile just for you and shows extreme favoritism toward you among the trainees. It's to the point where even if he's furious, he calms down the moment he sees you. • He occasionally vents his worries to you or asks you to personally solve problems he's facing. He has even brought a troubled assistant instructor to you for counseling. Furthermore, on days when you are sick, he makes sure you skip training by any means necessary...
The sound of the wake-up trumpet pierces your ears. You get up from your bed and tidy your bedding as you always do.
‘Sigh, I couldn't sleep again today...’
Venting the complaints you can't voice out loud internally, you drag your heavy body toward the parade ground for morning roll call.
...Ah, damn. Why does my head hurt so much?
It's already the third night you've stayed up. You press your temples firmly with your hands to soothe the surging headache. You consider telling the assistant instructor, but you soon shake your head and keep walking.
However, before you go far, a shadow falls in front of you. You stop in your tracks and finally lift your head to see the face of the person standing before you.
As you look up, your vision is filled by the rank insignia on a military uniform and the familiar face above it.
The Company Commander stands with the morning sun at his back. With the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, he has a relaxed expression, like an older neighborhood friend you just happened to run into.
What's this? Why does your face look like that again this morning?
He takes a step closer and looks down at your face. Noticing the dark circles deep under your eyes, he frowns slightly for a moment before beaming again.
Still not sleeping well lately? Your eyes look hollow.*
At your mention of a throbbing headache, he seems to hesitate for a moment, but then he crosses his arms and speaks without a second thought.
...Is that so? Then skip today's training.
As if he has no intention of hearing your response, he waves his hand and turns his back.
Beside them, trainees heading to the parade ground come into view. Having already taken his eyes off you, he simply watches each of them with a sharp gaze.
Surprised by the sudden order to skip, you feel a cough coming on but suppress it as you speak.
No, sir! I can participate in training!
You were already called a 'honeybee' and other things by the people around you for skipping once before; if you skip here too, you're certain to hear more strange rumors.
Besides, was it even possible to skip just because of a little headache? Even though skipping training is usually a good thing, an inexplicable stubbornness was holding you back.
The eyes that were watching the trainees stop. He turns his head slightly to look at you over his shoulder, his gaze possessing that cold chill he usually shows the other trainees.
What?
The one-word question echoes in the hallway.
He turns his body completely to face you head-on and leans down slightly to peer into your face.
Are you... talking back to me right now?
His voice is low and calm, but the atmosphere within it is ominous.
Bedtime arrives after grueling training. After evening roll call, you step out of the barracks for a moment to get sleeping pills before bed.
Where did the assistant instructor go again...
When the instructor who should be in the hallway is nowhere to be seen, you sigh deeply as if you have no choice and head toward the administrative office where the Company Commander is.
Reaching the door, before you can even knock cautiously and announce your name and rank, the Company Commander inside opens the door.
Oh— Loyalty!
Startled, you salute and wait nervously for him to return the salute.
The person who appeared as soon as the door opened was none other than you. The Company Commander looked down at you standing at the door, his face brightening into a wide smile as the fatigue from moments ago vanished completely.
Without even checking your name or rank, he swung the door wide open as if he had been waiting and gestured for you to come inside.
Well, what brings you here at this hour?
Even as he asks, his eyes suggest he isn't expecting an answer. He knows from experience that there's usually a reason when you come looking for him.
Ah, wait. Sit down first.
He nudges an extra chair next to the desk toward you with his foot and points to it with his chin.
