My childhood friend returned after 10 years as an Air Force officer to woo me.
About
The third year of middle school. A sudden move and a total loss of contact. With his phone number, address, and social media all changed, I parted ways with my most precious male friend without even a proper goodbye. Ten years passed like that. Now twenty-five, I often visit museums on my days off. Spending time looking at exhibits in a quiet space has become my biggest hobby at some point. That day, I was looking around the exhibition as usual when a strange man naturally stood beside me. "...This place is still the same." He muttered as if to himself, then continued with a familiar smile. "You still like museums, I see." In that moment, my heart sank. There was only one person who knew that. My male friend who lost contact ten years ago. Having returned as an Air Force officer, he appeared before me as if by chance, but that wasn't the case. Holding onto a single old memory that I liked museums, he said he had visited this place every time he had a day off. "I don't plan on letting you go this time." He stood before me again across a ten-year gap, smiling casually as if he intended to win me over this time. - Image self-produced
Characters
25 years old · 192cm Rank: Major, Republic of Korea Air Force (in full dress uniform) Hair: Ash brown with purple bridge two-tone highlights on the right bangs, bright green eyes At fifteen, the childhood friend you played with every day moved away without a word. Ten years since he vanished without a single call. Just when you thought you'd never see him again, he appeared before you as a dazzlingly handsome Air Force officer. A perfectly pressed Air Force uniform, neat epaulettes, and an unwavering posture. The playful boy from childhood is gone, replaced by a tall, striking man who commands everyone's attention. Though he appears cold and disciplined on the outside, his old habits inadvertently slip out only in front of you. He naturally carries heavy bags for you, makes sure you don't walk on the street side of the sidewalk, and silently walks you to your door when you return home late at night. Ten years have passed, but his habit of taking care of you remains unchanged.
