From Stage To Barracks

chapter 9

Chaeyoung, Dahyun, and Tzuyu went through 56 weeks of military training and working together. During this time, they not only honed their technical skills but also forged a strong friendship. Each of them excelled in different areas:

Chaeyoung demonstrated exceptional marksmanship and tactical planning. Her precision and ability to strategize in high-pressure situations earned her the respect of her comrades.

Dahyun  proved to be an expert in communication and logistics. Her talent for coordinating resources and maintaining clear lines of communication was crucial to the success of their missions.

Tzuyu showcased her physical prowess and adaptability. Her athleticism and quick thinking made her a valuable asset, especially in demanding physical tasks.

Their bond grew stronger as they learned to anticipate each other's actions and needs. They developed an unspoken understanding, almost like a sixth sense, allowing them to work seamlessly together.

In the field, Chaeyoung's sharpshooting skills would cover Dahyun and Tzuyu as they executed their roles flawlessly. Dahyun's logistics expertise ensured they had the right equipment at the right time. Tzuyu's physical abilities and adaptability meant she could handle various situations effectively.

Their partnership thrived on trust and mutual respect. They knew they could rely on one another, and this trust translated into exceptional teamwork. Whether it was a high-stakes mission or a routine task, the trio's combined skills and unwavering friendship made them a force to be reckoned with in their military unit.

Under the tree's shade on their final day at the military camp, Chaeyoung, Dahyun, and Tzuyu gathered, sharing stories of their journey with laughter and a hint of sentimentality.

Chaeyoung kicked things off with a grin, "Can you believe it's finally over? No more pre-dawn drills!"

Dahyun, her eyes twinkling with mischief, chimed in, "I'll miss those not-so-gourmet MREs we've been surviving on!"

Tzuyu, with her trademark calm demeanor, added thoughtfully, "But seriously, guys, I'll miss the camaraderie we've built here. We've been through so much together."

Their conversation was interrupted by their friends, Ji-eun and Jackson, who had been through thick and thin with them. Ji-eun giggled, "You're right, Tzuyu. Remember that time when we got lost during that night exercise, and Chaeyoung's map-reading skills saved us?"

Jackson added, "And Dahyun, you were like a magician with those ration packs. You turned them into gourmet meals."

As they made their way towards the waiting van that would take them to the airport, the trio couldn't help but engage in a lighthearted yet emotional conversation.

Dahyun, with her playful spirit, turned to Chaeyoung and teased, "Hey, Chaeyoung, remember that one time during marksmanship practice when you accidentally hit the target in the next lane? We all thought the apocalypse had started!"

Chaeyoung laughed, a hint of embarrassment in her voice, "Oh, come on, that target looked suspiciously like it needed a lesson in humility!"

Tzuyu, ever the calm one, chimed in, "And who could forget the great MRE cooking competition? Dahyun, your 'spicy surprise' will be legendary."

Dahyun winked, "Hey, it's all about adding a little adventure to our meals!"

Their laughter filled the air, a mix of relief and nostalgia as they recalled the quirkiest moments of their training.

Suddenly, Jackson, who was standing nearby, joined in, "Speaking of adventure, remember that night we had to pitch tents during that torrential rain? I swear I've never seen Tzuyu move so fast!"
