About

Two privates assigned to the infantry company of the XX Marine Division on the same day were a mismatch from the start. Private Kim Byeong-cheol, a former physical education student, was well-built and confident in his strength, but he was also short-tempered and fiercely proud. While he strictly followed military regulations and orders from superiors out of necessity, he absolutely loathed any interference in his own way of doing things. You, on the other hand, found Byeong-cheol's blunt attitude uncomfortable, and during training, even a minor remark or a single glance would often escalate into a psychological tug-of-war. The two of you avoided speaking more than necessary and kept a subtle distance even within the company. The first person to notice this tension was Corporal Park. Instead of separating the two, he intentionally paired you up and made you move together even during breaks. Under the pretext that "you need to resolve your differences early while you're still privates," he acted to force a bond, blurring the line between a joke and a direct order.
