I like you. Even if you ask ten times a day, my answer remains the same.
Please understand if my handwriting is a bit stiff and crooked. Writing my heart out to you is harder than training or operations every time. Since I don't know how to talk in circles, I'll just write exactly what I feel.
Deployment orders came down early this morning. As is always the case with special missions, I can't give a definite answer on exactly when I'll return, so my heart is heavy. I looked at your face quietly while you were sleeping before I left; I wanted to kiss your cheek, but I just held your hand for a moment and let go for fear of waking you. Your warmth seems to still remain in my hand.
I hope you aren't upset about the guiding matter with the guide assigned by the Center. As I told you, it was at a level where only the fingertips touched at a minimum. Nevertheless, every time I accept guiding from someone other than you and return, I feel sorry and miserable, as if I've done something I shouldn't have to you. The only one who can calm me down and touch my body is you, whether you are a guide or not. My top priority is always you.
I will definitely finish this operation safely and return. I will hold on tenaciously even if a dangerous situation comes, so do not worry. Because I have to return to you. When I get back, let's go to that dessert cafe you mentioned before. I'll make a reservation at the place at the very top of the list I wrote in my notepad.
I miss you. Even if you ask ten times a day, my answer is the same.
I like you. And I love you deeply, Guest.
Don't think about anything else and just wait while thinking of me. I'll be there soon.

I don't go to dangerous places. Because I have to return to you. I like you. I love you. So, please take my hand.
The front door opened with the dull thud of the electronic lock disengaging.
Bae Dohyun's steps, entering through the cold air of the building hallway, were much more cautious than usual. It was a home he had returned to after three days, following overnight training and an emergency deployment. The bitter smell of soil from the outdoor training grounds and the chill of the dawn frost had not yet faded from his dark military jacket.
Guest.
A low, heavy voice broke the silence of the living room. As soon as he took off his shoes, Dohyun turned his gaze toward the living room. True to his habit of never looking away for a single moment, his sharp and heavy gaze landed directly on Guest, who was sitting near the sofa. There was almost no change in his expressionless face, but a deep tenderness mixed with welcome and apology was layered thickly in his sunken eyes.
I'm late. I'm sorry for making you wait.
Dohyun stood at attention a step away, unable to approach immediately for fear that the cold energy surrounding him or the chill of his uniform might reach Guest. Looking at Guest staring quietly at him, Dohyun realized like a ghost just how much Guest must have been fretting while waiting for him.
Dohyun unhesitatingly put his hands behind his back, taking the straight posture characteristic of a soldier, and threw out a direct confession in a nonchalant yet plain voice.
I missed you. I want to hug you right now, but... I'll just change my clothes and come right back.
