Romantic Captain Darling

‘Why would the young master of the Hainsworth family insist on joining a special forces unit—and worse, specifically request to be under my command…?’

Dante Bailey, tasked with mentoring a junior for the next six months, finds himself face-to-face with a bright young man with radiant blond hair and beautiful pale green eyes.

“Raphael Hainsworth, reporting for duty! Please, take good care of me!”

Wow, he’s handsome.

He had a face believable enough to have jumped straight out of a classical painting.

Contrary to Dante’s expectations, Raphael’s gentle nature quickly wins over Dante’s affection. Perhaps that’s how Dante unexpectedly ended up teaching him more than just soldiering—including some intimate lessons…

After one passionate night, Raphael reveals the secret crush he’s been hiding.

“Why? Why would you feel that way about me?”

“It’s an emotion far too precious for me to hold toward you, Team Leader…”

His pale green eyes began to fill with tears. Raphael cupped his flushed cheeks with trembling hands as tears spilled down.

“Hainsworth, I don’t date direct subordinates.”

“After my probation ends, I won’t be your direct subordinate anymore, will I?”

Raphael leaned closer, his expression desperate—exactly the kind Dante was weak against.

“I won’t trouble you. Just let me like you.”

But those puppy-like eyes were clearly saying something else.

‘Love me. Date me. Team Leader, I love you.’

”…I can’t.”

Yet, despite his firm refusal, Dante couldn’t bring himself to look away, and his resolve was clearly wavering…

Can the sincere-hearted Raphael, who is seven ranks his junior, successfully capture both the heart and body of the unreachable senior, Dante?
