Chapter 66

That afternoon, Master Jeon went to the district office to attend a reception for veterans of the older generation. After the event, he happened to run into Jungkook Instructor.

Jungkook Instructor was now Jungkook's direct instructor. Master Jeon asked him about Jungkook's performance at the academy.

"That kid is a piece of work, stubborn as a mule and hard to manage," Jungkook Instructor said, rather helplessly. In Jungkook's freshman and sophomore years, he thought he could train Jungkook into an obedient cadet by being extra strict. But now it seemed he had underestimated the challenge.

"With that temperament of his, who knows how much hardship he'll endure if he really joins the army," Jungkook Instructor tentatively asked Master Jeon, "Are you planning on having him follow in his father's footsteps?"

Master Jeon didn't really have the heart to send his only grandson to some remote border region. His son and daughter-in-law had already sacrificed themselves for the country. He preferred to keep this sole heir by his side.

"Whatever that boy wants to do, no one can stop him. And if he doesn't want to do something, no one can force him either. Let him follow his own path," Master Jeon said.

Jungkook Instructor nodded. "It's true that in terms of capabilities, our academy has no one else like Jungkook. With that kind of ambition, he will surely accomplish great things in the future."

Master Jeon shook his head helplessly. "With real ability, one can achieve success anywhere."

Jungkook Instructor saw that the old master was also reluctant to send Jungkook far away, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

"Oh right," Master Jeon casually mentioned, "I heard Jungkook started dating?"

Jungkook Instructor laughed. "Those rascals were obedient freshmen, but now as sophomores and juniors, they all have girlfriends tagging along. Can't control them!"

"Oh? So you've met the girl?"

"Of course I have. Last time when I made Jungkook stand in the sun as punishment, the girl kept him company the whole afternoon, sneaking him water and food when I left. A really adorable lass."

"Do you have any photos of her?"

"How could I have photos of someone else's girlfriend?" Jungkook Instructor said. "Master Jeon, if you want to meet the girl, I can take you around our academy."

"No no, I was just casually asking," Master Jeon quickly waved his hands. "I'm not interested at all. They're just kids playing around, who knows if it'll even last."

But not long after, Jungkook Instructor logged into the academy's student portal on his phone. "She's quite proper-looking. Are you sure you don't want to see, Master Jeon?"

"I...I don't want to look."

Jungkook Instructor smiled knowingly. He was aware of Master Jeon's personality - mouth says he doesn't care, but his heart must be itching with curiosity. So he simply handed his phone over. "Go ahead and take a look. There's not only a photo, but also her profile and grades."

Master Jeon reluctantly accepted the phone, took out his reading glasses from his chest pocket, and painstakingly enlarged the photo with a trembling finger.

It was Lisa's enrollment photo from when she took the college entrance exam. Master Jeon squinted at it for a while, frowning. "She's just a child! How could this even work out?"

Jungkook Instructor laughed. "She's of age Jungkook now, Master Jeon."

"Really? She doesn't look it."
