WHewOO!!
"Another lap!" The Crown Prince blared at the top of his lungs after blowing into the whistle hanging around his neck.
The training of the soldiers and the preparations for the war had been going on in full swing. The crown prince had volunteered to train the young cadets of the battalions from the north.
It had been three days since the rigorous training had begun. The poor cadets were exhausted, spent and cursing their ill fate for landing a strict and heartless trainer like their Crown Prince. Although, they did feel honoured to be trained directly by the legend himself.
However, no one cursed their fate more than the poor Major Park Seojoon. Punished for being caught distracted in the battalions' meetings for the fourth time, the senior soldier was ordered to join the training drills with soldiers four ranks junior to him.
The punishment administered by the Crown Prince was exhausting, grilling and more importantly humiliating for the senior officer. Running the 45th round of the barrack's training arena amongst the sea of sweaty and panting young cadets in a white vest and khaki pants with no uniform to differentiate him from his juniors, the alpha felt stripped and naked.
His friends, colleagues and officers of the same ranks as him were giggling and snickering from the bleachers surrounding the arena. He cursed under his breath when he saw one officer wiggling his eyebrows at him and spouting teasing comments at him.
"I shouldn't have been caught staring at my talented, dazzling and beautiful mate! I should have been more careful!" Seojoon whined regretfully under his breath. He determined to be more vigilant in his staring and dazing sessions moving forward. Despite the harsh punishment, he doesn't regret his deed, he regrets being caught. His mate was so glorious and had such a beautiful voice that he could not help but lose himself in his thoughts. He is not to be blamed. His mate is heavenly and he deserves all of his attention, Seojoon reasoned with himself.
WhewOO!!
With another loud whistle, Jungkook ended the running session. "Let's take a half an hour break." He authoritatively suggested while the trainees buckled and panted heavily. They were celebrating their much-needed break when the prince's next words wiped their happy smiles off their faces, "I want all of you on the field in the next half an hour. If I find even one of you missing the whole group would be punished."
The group burst into troubled whines. "Uh-hh! In the army, there is no I or me. We all carry and share the weight of each other's achievements and mistakes. You need to learn this as soon as you can." Jungkook reasoned before blowing his whistle and dismissing the whiny cadets.
Seojoon was slowly dragging himself to the resting benches with other cadets when the prince's voice halted him, "Major Seojoon!"
Lowering his head in submission, the major waited for the prince to deliver the next phase of his punishment. He hoped for it to be less tiring than the one he just suffered.
