Three years ago.

Part from chapter infatuation:

He was sitting on the couch in his friend's room, crossed legs, a cigarette in his mouth, inhaling thick of its smoke and releasing it like a black cloud.

Moments after the smiling lieutenant entered the room

"Where have you been Mr. Dimple?" The colonel's voice startled him.

"Ah Taehyung, how many times have I told you not to suddenly appear like a goblin, I'm going to have a heart attack one day," he replied clutching his heart.

"It was you who suddenly appeared, not me. I was here a long time ago. Answer my question."

"Oh, I was in the military hospital" He answered nervously, taking off his hat and sitting down on the chair.

"What were you doing there?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at his comrade.

"I went for a check-up, you know, to change my bandage." He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Why can't I believe you?" V said putting out the cigarette.

"I was there, I swear to --... oh, what happened to your neck it looks like a Picasso canvas. Oh seems like your bird has turned into a hawk" He burst out laughing, hitting his thigh.

"May god humiliate you, don't interfere in my business," he rolled his eyes playfully.

"Well, anyway, I know you only came to my room for an important matter," he straightened up in his seat, listening attentively to his companion.

"Can you do me a favor of a lifetime, Joonie, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." For the first time, Namjoon sees the sadness on his friend's face after a long time, the last time was when he told him about his parents' death.

The other nodded without hesitation"I'll sacrifice my life for you Tae, tell me what you want" he moved sitting by his side on the couch.

"Before I tell you, call Christopher!"

The colonel back to his friend's office two days later at two o'clock in the morning. The meeting would take place in complete secrecy inside Namjoon's room.
When he entered, the dark room, that only illuminated by some old lanterns.
Namjoon met him first then he turned his head to the short blond, who greeted him with a military salute.

"Christo!" Taehyung said and the other rushed to him and hugged him warmly.
"Sir! It's been a long time, nice to see you." He smiled and stepped aside respectfully and the Colonel ruffled his blond hair.
"Me too, my hero!"
If we say that Namjoon is the Colonel's right hand, then his left hand is Christopher.

Inside the military college, most of the soldiers were from poor or middle-class society, but Christopher was from a wealthy family and joined the military service without his family’s approval. Being a member of this class exposed him to mistreatment, such that he got beaten by the students and they took off the money he carried.

One time, when he was in the middle of a quarrel, Taehyung intervened to save him, and when he pulled him aside and inquired about the reason for the fight, he told him that it was because of his social class and how he chose the homeland over his infinite money. At this point, he saw the look of pride in the colonel’s eyes, after that, he became part of the group of friends that included only Namjoon, and the three of them became roommates. The youngest of them received special treatment from V.
