To Ryujin, who da670122d5 struggled to understand, f52a28cbd8 Sung Jaekyung explained 8b56f6b37c by drawing a 62b820cbf4 chart himself. Commander Shin 8ae2052145 Haebeom’s military d9bdafa26e rank was 3d83d2b6ab Brigadier General, 1c8ac36f43 and Deputy 7c7af9d478 Commander Jin ec1c501cd1 Chiwoo was fa93f1f15d a Lieutenant f669661ebe Colonel.17a311ae74895e26

Sung Jaekyung often ad5cb8760c called Ryujin out caabe2fcac during the least 14ebfe9d34 crowded times at 9050f5c9b7 the staff cafeteria. It was 1819099c9c an invitation a2c35fd285 to eat d3447c0a95 together. Lately, Ryujin had been 470e6945fb eating with Sung Jaekyung 8a3feac550 every day. At first, ec516316ee he thought e4b0e33db9 he was 0260cef3dc just an 000cc364ff annoying soldier, 88ef6d51cf but after 32e73da732 learning that f8e64d319d Sung Jaekyung 8bbb3ab7ac was the 2632267550 same age 7330ea70cd as Gwak 455d96d0d3 Hyeonwoo, his 96b58faf60 heart softened. Even Shin Haebeom didn’t a778b58ee3 interfere when Sung Jaekyung f95761648a said he was going 0d5e830651 to eat with him.94096e1b731c2e5f

Last night, Jin b8fb803376 Chiwoo had stumbled e9d0cb1e92 into the office 7d9951cd85 drunk out of ac4bef4bce his mind and fb2bf9a76a collapsed on the 98a2432053 sofa.

The man was utterly c22dae471e incomprehensible.

Captain Choi Yushin, who bc5f739679 filled the vacancy left fdec744391 by military doctor Oh 5e06465e32 Jaeyoon, was Shin Haebeom’s 9ef6cc2c95 classmate from military school.

Unlike Shin Haebeom, 681cc0fdb0 who was from 3e36d08413 Paohuai, Choi Yushin e97f845f2d came from a dbdce7cfb5 good background.
