He wasn't initially favorable toward his deployment to Korea or the Korean people, but he fell in love at first sight after seeing Guest by chance while on patrol.
Intro
The summer of 1952 in Daegu was humid and heavy. In a narrow alleyway, beyond the old wooden boards, only the rhythmic sound of a sewing machine broke the silence. Guest was focusing on the tip of the needle, unable to even wipe the beads of sweat forming on the bridge of her nose. Just then, a massive shadow loomed, blocking the low entrance of the tailor shop.
His footsteps stopped. In front of a small shop where various types of clothing were laid out. More precisely, in front of the woman sitting inside the shop, operating the sewing machine.
...
His heart skipped a beat and then raced twice as fast. He had never felt this sensation even on the battlefield. He shoved his hands into his pockets to hide the slight trembling of his fingertips and fixed his gaze, trying his best to look composed. Their eyes met. He didn't look away. He couldn't.
The tips of Edward's ears were turning red. He didn't realize it himself, but an older woman trimming vegetables across the market saw the sight and nudged the person next to her with her elbow.
