" did you see what I saw? " one of the soilder's asked the other. "This could be our shot. "
"hell yes!" he spat.
-
The door knocked.
"come in. " ordered Taehyung and a petite man in uniform entered in.
"major Kim, the lieutenant wants to see you. " he informed.
"Ok, I'll be there. " Taehyung replied short and immediately rose from his desk to see him.
-
"may I come in sir? " he asked, following the protocol.
"yes."
"you wanted to see me? " he closed the door behind him.
The lieutenant folded his arms behind his back. " Yes. "
"what is it? " asked Taehyung. The leutinent turned around, and this time he looked straight into taehyung's eyes.
" I am told that you're helping one of the war prisoners? "
"sorry? " taehyung gave him a blank expression.
"the soilders-" he took a pause. " they had seen your captive comfort woman visiting the camps and giving information to other war prisoners that was meant to be sacred." he looked at taehyung. His brows knitted in dissapointment.
Taehyung took a pause to gather the words that were spat in front of him.
"that's not completely true. " he spoke. " I believe it's a trap plotted against me."
"a trap against you? Your own people? " the lieutenant spat.
"you know how it works here lieutenant. Some weren't happy with my appointment and you know it. " Taehyung gave him a knowing stare.
"you've been a dedicated officer all these years-" he took a long pause.
"I'd let that go this time. But consider this your first and last warning otherwise you know what you could lose major Kim. " he warned and taehyung onlt nodded in response.
"You can leave now. "
-
"that's what happens when you be lineant with these women. "
The whispers made taehyung's blood boil.
It was the first and the only time that he had been called in lieutenant's office for anything else other than receiving an award of honor for his bravery or hard work. It was humiliating for him. All these years he worked so hard just to be blamed for helping war prisoners leaking information? He smashed the alcohol bottle on the ground.
"easy major. " one of his colleagues whispered to him. As he curled near to the fire for warmth. It was a cold night. The winters had almost arrived. The man assumed.
"who was it? " Taehyung muttered.
"we don't know major. " the man spoke. "could be anyone. " he tilted his head.
Taehyung's thoughts were still messed up. Why did she have to come here when he took her away from this place? Why she didn't care for his reputation and honor when he was being careful with hers.. He could treat her just like any other comfort woman?
"comfort woman." he whispered. He hated the word. He hated the concept but what he hated the most right now was her betrayal. In the midst of his messed up thoughts, he reached for another bottle of liquor.
"there were whispers that you have allowed your comfort woman to do visits. That you have no control over her and she was more useful in the camp instead. "
Taehyung ignored the bitter comment as he took a long sip from his bottle. It burnt his throat but it was too addictive to be put away.
"get the vehicle ready! " he spoke. He was far away from his senses at that moment.

Jisoo sat in the living room. Her fingers moved restlessely in her lap. She was aware of what she had done. As she waited for him in a hope that perhaps she could explain the situation to him. Perhaps he would understand but she knew it wouldn't be that easy. Probably impossible.
She felt a pang of nervousness in her stomach when she heard the door unlock. It was half past midnight and with a loud thud he entered in his apartment. He was drunk. He looked furious. And the first thing his eyes laid on was her..
"you" he muttered. He looked dangerous when he was drunk.
Jisoo walked towards him when he yelled at her mentioning for her to come towards him. At first she was worried more than she was scared.
"what were you doing at the stations today? " he muttered, his eyes perieced right into hers.
"I -"
"did you forget who you are or did you forget who I am? " he cut her off and by this time his fingers were already curled around her wrist with a tight grip.
"I'm sorry but you have to listen to me. Please! " she pleaded. Panic steadily turned into fear as he dragged her into the bedroom.
"please listen to me! Please major! " she pleaded again as she felt a tremor run down her spine. He ignored her cries and pushed her onto the bed.
"the humiliation that I had to face today because of you. " he spoke as his jaw tightened. His eyes grew darker and he settled on top of her. "they say I've no control over you-" she was pinned against the mattress with his arms on both sides, blocking her.
"don't I? " he looked down at her. Their was a hint of frustration in his eyes that came and go.
His eyes swayed over her face and his breath all of the sudden became heavy as he scanned her carefully. Her lips looked so full so lustful.. just a few inches away from his. At that very moment his anger faded and unconsciously a desire moved lazily through him. He watched her with a surprisingly, tolerant amusement.
"major Kim! " her tiny hands pushed against his hard chest. "don't.." she squealed. "please don't.. "
Suddenly he was struck back to his senses, despite consuming a whole lot of alcohol he knew what he was about to do. The deep, black gaze swept over her face. Her eyes were red and swollen, face pale as she trembled under him. His eyes widened in disbelief, blood was pounding in his head. Immediately he dragged himself away from her.
"Fuck! " he whispered under his breath and smashed a glass ashtray on the floor that was placed next to the bed and exited the room. Leaving the broken glass pieces, scattered all around his bedroom floor.
