I Returned, But My Power is the Same

“Thank you, Operation Officer. Thank you for coming with me.”

“No, I am grateful. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to look at such a place. But what if it means that we can only talk to each other? You are leaving the unit now and going to another unit.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Anyway, I asked Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil that day. How do I tell the unit of the person I want to take?

Then he said he didn't care.

'That's the way I'm going to take it out.'

Said.

It was a very simple matter.

“That way...!”

I explained it to Lieutenant Young So-jin as well and opened her mouth.

“It’s also a great class.”

“So.”

"Then there's nothing to worry about... but what if the battalion commander or the operations manager is offended?"

“It will never happen.”

"Why?"

“You’ve been doing well.”

operations officer.

Lieutenant Young So-jin has performed the mission better than anyone since returning from Jeju Island.

It's the same when you're training normally and when you rob a dungeon or gate in your jurisdiction.

I heard that there was a lot of praise within the operation department as well.

“So you will be cheering me on.”

“Ummm… is that so?”

"Yes. I bet.”

As he pounded his chest and spoke, Lieutenant Young Sojin smiled a relieved smile.

With this, the story seems to have come to an end.

That's good.

“I will go first.”

"Huh. See you later."

"Yep."

After a few more casual conversations, I left the operations department.

I looked at the clock and an hour had passed.

when did this happen

By the way, until not long ago, just looking at Lieutenant Young So-jin's face was a bit awkward, but now it seems that all of that has disappeared.

It's as comfortable as before.

However, one thing takes a while.

What does Lieutenant Young So-jin think of me now?

You still like me...

It can't be.

That's never going to happen.

I've been dating Seong Da-kyung for over two and a half years.

I wonder if that feeling will be the same until now?

Lieutenant Young So-jin once did.

Even though he knows that the man is dating another woman, he doesn't seem to have a crush on him.

But, as I said before, time is time.

Not now.

And as I was facing Lieutenant Young So-jin the whole time I was in the office earlier, I couldn't get that feeling...

I didn't even notice that Lieutenant Young So-jin was so blatant until then.

Suddenly his head gets complicated.

Why don't you just go back in and ask them outright?

The man you said you liked back then, do you still like him?

I shook my head again.

It's ridiculous.

Aside from the absurdity, now everyone knows who the man is.

Even that guy is me.

for now.

Let's act like he doesn't know.

So you haven't had any problems so far?

No, and.What would you do if Lieutenant Young So-jin still said the same thing?

I'll even encourage you to say sorry, what?

It just makes the situation worse.

ahhh

It's complicated, it's complicated.

He ruffled his hair and continued walking.

* * *

"Yes?! So, are you going to the Special Warfare Command in August?”

“Yeah, it happened.”

Towards the end of June, I was finally able to deliver the news to the company members.

You can't hide it forever

When I find out later, I'll probably do it a bit.

“Is it all right to go to the training camp commander?”

“·················ogue.”

“From the cold season at the beginning of the year to ATT, you guys worked hard because of me.”

our midfielders.

He really suffered a lot because of me.

It's because they've split the time and split it up and trained them somehow.

He must have secretly sweared at me a lot.

From my point of view, of course, it was for the company members.

Because I wish you well.

I want to build a good performance.

But it must have been a bit annoying for the middle class members.

However.

"no. Thanks to the company commander, how much we have gained.”

“I was promoted thanks to the company commander. Performance has improved.”

Everyone knows my heart.

to say thank you.

“Thank you, guys. for telling me so I really like the military uniform.”

“I think we like company uniforms.”

“Hahaha, really?”

"Yes."

The company members answer together.

Instantly, the tip of the nose becomes cold.

"To be honest, I'd like to ask if you can't go, but... well, company commander."

It's to the point that I want to ask if I can't go, so I'm in tears because the tip of my nose is too cold.

I guess I couldn't play the role of the company commander.

“They make me a go-to person. I'll listen to it sometime when I have time. Let's eat something delicious together."

“Really?”

"then. What a difficult thing.”

smiled and spoke

“In that sense, let’s go to Hunter Mart together! The company commander is shooting today.”

“Wow!”

Not a platoon member, not a midfielder.

There are a huge number of people, so it will cost a lot of money, but it's not a waste of money at all.

'Cause I've also benefited

Thanks to these guys, I was able to carry out my duties as a company commander better.

performance, of course.

"let's go."

"Yes!"

Above all, they are the ones who gave me good memories that money could not buy.

so.

you can buy anything

June has passed.

A few days ago, there were signs of it, and as soon as July came, the dreadful heat came.

After training, sweat poured like rain.

If it's already at this point, it'll get worse in August.

Since they were special forces back then, the amount of training and the difficulty of their missions would be higher than they are now.

work happened

Of course, I'm just trying to make a fuss.

If he was only going to say he couldn't eat because of the heat, he didn't even say he would go to the Special Forces in the first place.

No, I didn't even set foot in this world.

July went by no different.

There was a gap in the middle, but it wasn't too difficult because I had been doing it for a long time before returning.

Even though the company members were dying for 4 nights and 5 days.

Oh, I had one thing to do.

Lieutenant Young So-jin.

Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil accepted her.

She, too, was officially a member of her team.

As each day passed, the day of departure drew closer and closer.

August 20.

Today is July 20th, so there is only one month left.

Perhaps that time will pass soon.

When you get things organized and ready.

“Everyone, wake up. I have to start over.”

Just because I was the one to go, didn't mean that I was sloppy.

I worked harder and harder.

Because the ending of anything is important.

“1st Squadron Commander.”

In the 4th week of July, after the executive meeting was over, Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae called me up for a while.

“Are you leaving on the 20th of next month?”

"That's right."

“I’m really gone now. The more I look at it, the more I feel sorry for both the operations officer and you.”

In his hands were documents related to the first and second quarters of 2043.

“You know that your company has the most performance in both the first and second quarters, right? You have to send him somewhere else.”

“I will visit you often.”

“I want to see you as an affiliate here, not as a guest.”

"Hahaha."

“Farm work, farm. I am speaking with regret.”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae said with a chuckle.

“But no matter how you think about it, it’s surprising. It has been doing very well since training in the cold season, but I will continue to do that until now.”

I didn't know either.

I hope the results will be this good.

“Individual ability is good, but commanding ability is also good. I wonder how far you will grow. I'll be a major soon."

“I’m that…”

"Huh? Is it possible that the major has also been confirmed?”

“The commander wrote a special recommendation letter.”

“A letter of special recommendation from the commander?”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae's eyes widen.

“Then it’s actually already confirmed. Hagiya is a person who uses the Medal of Merit and swordsmanship, but a major should wear sweets. So from now on, should I call him Major Choi instead of Captain Choi?”

“The commander said that the decision would only be made after the transfer to the Special Warfare Command.”

"okay?"

"Yes."

“Anyway, only the slope, the slope. Congratulations.”

A thick hand taps my shoulder.

“Did you know that the transfer ceremony is held with the operations officer before we go?”

“Yes, I know.”

“Before that, let’s have a meal with the executives. At that time, it will be difficult to find time because I am busy.”

“Yes, battalion commander.”

“Let’s go first.”

“Yes, loyalty!”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae greets each other and goes up to the battalion commander's room.

I also left soon.

I feel so good. A compliment is a compliment, so I didn't know the results would be this good.

* * *

Finally, August has come.

As mentioned before, Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae made a seat among the executives.

It was a farewell party for me and Lieutenant Young So-jin.

He continued to give me bomb liquor, asking when I would see him again, and I was confused by it, but I drank and drank again.A seat is a seat.

can't take it off

“If the commander wrote a special recommendation letter, there is nothing more to see! Congratulations, 1st Company Captain!”

“Congratulations, 1st Company Commander!”

There was also talk of promotion. Because of that, he drank three more cups in a row.

Ugh, I'm going to break my head.

“Congratulations, 1st Squadron Commander!”

"thank you."

Lieutenant Young So-jin also congratulated him when he heard the news. With a distinctive seal applause.

“But even if I get promoted, I am a major (Jin). It’s just a shell.”

“Where is that? After a while, you will become a major.”

“Well, it is.”

“You don’t know how envious I am as a lieutenant.”

“The operation officer will be there soon.”

“Am I?”

"Yes."

“It’s been a while since that lieutenant.”

“You are performing well. If it was just my simple career, I would never have been able to wear it.”

“Child, don’t wind up for nothing.”

“It’s not wind. I’m telling you because I really think that’s going to happen.”

“Um, okay?”

"Yes."

“What if not?”

“Hit me one.”

“If it can’t be done, why are you hitting it?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin bursts out laughing and taps my thigh under the table.

A small bottle is held in his hand.

"Huh? What's this?"

“When you drink it, you feel better. Drink it now.”

“Hey, when did you buy it?”

“I went out for a while.”

"thank you. What about the Operations Officer?”

“I have already been drinking. Hurry up.”

He glanced at him and shoved it around his neck at once.

“It will be better than it is now.”

“After all, there is only the Operations Officer. Please go to the Special Warfare Command as well.”

“I should beg you. You are going to be my boss.”

“Haha, that’s right. But I don’t know if I will be able to do well as a team leader.”

“You will be fine. You’ve always been good wherever you are.”

“Did I?”

"Yes. It’s the same as being the first company commander now.”

“Great.”

“You mean let’s talk about something else, don’t you?”

"Yes?"

“You just coughed.”

Every time I feel embarrassed, a nonsense cough that comes out without me knowing.

I really need to change my habits a bit.

“Anyway, you’re a ghost. Have a drink.”

“Yes, the future leader.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin raises a glass with a smile.

I carefully poured alcohol there. As much as I can, as I know well that I am not a drinker.

“Come on, let’s make a toast as the 1st company commander!”

The seat became more and more ripe.

I got up and took my glass.

But for the moment when he shouted a toast, he spoke in a loud and serious voice.

“Thanks to the battalion commanders, many chiefs, and senior and junior officers, this was possible. thank you. I will continue to live without forgetting that grace. 1st Battalion Fighting!”

Countless cups collide.

cheers explode.

The night of the 15th of August.

Now the day to leave is approaching.
