I couldn't recall the message from yesterday in response to the soldier's question, so I pulled out my phone.
"Um, I'm here to see a guy named Kang-cheol."
"…."
"Hey?"
"Yes? Oh, sorry. Who did you say?"
I repeated myself to the soldier who was staring at me, now up close, as if entranced.
"Kang-cheol."
"Ah, you mean Sergeant Kang-cheol?"
"Sergeant? …That bastard's a sergeant?"
"Pardon?"
"No, just talking to myself."
Seeing him respond "Pardon?" in 0.5 seconds to my mutter, I glanced at his chest and saw he was a corporal.
"Anyway, that bastard… no, could you call Sergeant Kang-cheol for me?"
"May I have your visit purpose and name?"
"Name's Han Ga-eul, and it's a visitation."
"Please wait a moment."
The soldier jotted my name down somewhere, then picked up the phone inside the guard post and muttered something into it.
"Sorry for the wait. Here's your visitor pass. Head straight down, turn right, and you'll reach the visitation room."
"Thanks."
Fiddling with the visitor pass with my name on it as I walked, I spotted the visitation room the soldier mentioned.
A boxy building that looked like they'd poured concrete into a square mold and just popped it out—perfectly rectangular.
"They really half-assed this place."
Stepping inside and looking around, I remembered it was a weekday when I saw how empty it was—no one in sight.
Glancing over the bare-bones interior, I ran out of things to look at and slotted my phone into the stand I'd brought with me.

Turning my head, I saw a ruggedly handsome face with wild vibes and a massive build, dressed in a sharply fitted uniform.
On his chest was a name tag and a black snake patch; on the other side, a parachute badge called the airborne mark, plus a bunch of others plastered on.
Kang-cheol froze when he saw me, took a deep breath with a tense face, and approached slowly.
"Solidarity!"
— Anonymous Huh Leak's here? — Anonymous Kya his salute is cool af — Anonymous Show us too!!! "Oh, my boy's handsome."
"Th-thank you."
Seeing Kang-cheol stammering despite his size made me chuckle.
— Anonymous 901 spec ops dude stuttering? Lmao — Anonymous You couldn't even make eye contact irl with roomie that's tame — Anonymous Fr lmao irl you'd just stare at the ground all talk Kang-cheol looked so tense he might pass out from hyperventilating.
Pondering how to loosen him up, I bellowed at the top of my lungs, enough to blow the roof off the visitation room.
"Kang-cheol!!!"
"Sergeant Kang Cheol!"
He thrust his chest out and barked his rank and name loud and clear.
— Anonymous Fuck ears popped with earbuds in — Anonymous Wtf roomie's volume kekeke — Anonymous Lmaoooooooo psycho girl — Anonymous How's someone's name Kang-cheol lmaoooo "You punk, body like a mountain but why so nervous."
Kang-cheol saw me smiling and seemed to relax a bit.
"I-it's just… you're even prettier in person… that's why."
"Cut the flattery and sit. Sis brought tasty stuff."
— Anonymous Not flattery, straight facts — Anonymous Fr lmao — Anonymous Homemade food? So jealous fr At my order to sit, Kang-cheol came over and took the seat across from me. Once he was settled, I pulled out the sandwiches and drinks I'd prepped last night and set them on the table.
"Nothing fancy, just sandwiches. Packed 'em with meat, cheese, veggies—eat up."
"Wow… thank you."
His mouth was so huge that one big bite into the overstuffed sandwich vanished half of it.
"But you cool with being on stream?"
He nodded vigorously while chomping away.
"No pressure. You know thousands of crazies are watching."
"Our independent unit's had tons of broadcast shoots already, so it's fine. My face is pretty out there, and there's even a TV crew filming right now."
"TV crew's actually here?"
"Yes. That's what I messaged you about yesterday. I told the brigade commander a popular indie streamer was visiting tomorrow, and he suggested doing it together."
I thought it over and replied.
"I'll look around later and decide. Right now, I'm here for you."
"Got it."
He nodded without a hint of hesitation. Looked like the brass pressured him into saying it—probably not his own idea.
"We've talked enough—eat up. And your face is on stream now. Really okay?"
"Yes. It's fine."
As he answered and munched another sandwich, I turned my phone to show the viewers.
— Anonymous Omg fuuuck… looks scary af — Anonymous Roomie crazy bitch calling a guy like that big sis??? — Anonymous Anyone jumps Leak he'd snap their neck one-handed lmao — Anonymous Uniform is fire tho — Anonymous Size difference lmao baby and adult Gazing at him scarfing down food with his elbows on the table, it hit me I didn't know his age.

"Flatterer, eat lots. How old are you anyway?"
— Anonymous Roomie really is a crazy bitch confirmed — Anonymous You just figuring that out? — Anonymous Lmaoooo asking that quick Kang-cheol blinked and answered.
"27."
"I'm 21. Call me sis. Loosen up your speech too."
"Yes, sis."

— Anonymous Kya facts teacher — Anonymous Eyebam! Kang-cheol, watching me goof off with viewers, shoved his half-eaten sandwich at the screen and grinned.
"Looks tasty, right?"

— Anonymous Aha! Enjoy your meal teacher — Anonymous Black Serpent Warriors tear people apart… — Anonymous Sergeant enjoy your meal^^7 — Anonymous Lmao they anger managed instantly kek Looking at Kang-cheol doing cute shit not matching his bulk, I couldn't help snickering.
I popped open a drink and handed it to him as he demolished the sandwiches.
"Don't just eat that—drink too."
"Yes, sis."
— Anonymous Eyebam take care of me too so jealous dying — Anonymous Why so sweet and caring — Anonymous No wish voucher next time? I'm jumping—news will know it's me He'd polished off a good amount I'd made, then gestured he was done.
"Not enough? Want me to order delivery?"
"A bit short, but perfect for PT later."
— Anonymous Lmao sandwich looked like 10+ tho? — Anonymous Guess that's still light for maintaining that build I tidied the table, then headed out of the visitation room with Kang-cheol.
He'd seemed huge from afar, but up close craning up at him nearly snapped my neck.
"Cheol-ah, how tall are you?"
"189."
— Anonymous Physique insane — Anonymous Gotta be that tall for spec ops ㄷㄷ — Anonymous Who gave that beast the cute nickname Leak lmao — Anonymous Roomie did kek she gives viewers weird nicknames sometimes "Damn, you're tall."
