"In the army, the battle isn't always on the battlefield".
Before the games, there was another life.
A life where Cho Hyun-ju wore a uniform not of green tracksuits, but of army khaki. A life filled with orders, drills, and the constant weight of being seen as just another soldier : a man in their eyes, though no one knew the truth she carried inside.
In this harsh world, she was a sergeant, commanding respect while guarding her secret fiercely. Her newest challenge was Park Sa-yeon, a vulnerable but stubborn recruit struggling under the heavy weight of family expectations and a secret of her own.
Under Hyun-ju's strict gaze and quiet understanding, these two women would face the brutal demands of military life, and the even harder fight of staying true to themselves in a place that refused to see them.

Him & I (Squid Games Masked Officer x Reader)
Y/N is no stranger to danger. Trained in self-defense, an expert markswoman, and emotionally detached since birth. She was built to survive, not to feel. When she's recruited as a guard for the notorious Squid Games to help pay off her mounting debt, she expects violence, bloodshed, and blind obedience. But nothing prepares her for the masked officer whose commanding presence rattles her previously unshakable composure. He's cold, calculating, and maddeningly unreadable... until the tension between them ignites into something neither of them can ignore. In a world built on control and cruelty, desire might be the deadliest game of all. -------- *Content Warning* This story contains themes of violence, smut and angst, and strong elements of dark (emphasis here) romance.

CAPTAIN KIM - Letters From 1881
The year is 1881, where loyalty is measured by restraint and emotion is seen as a weakness. Captain Kim Taehyung lives by rules - the rules of war, of society, and of a marriage built on duty rather than love. He believes control is strength and silence is survival. Until Jeon Jungkook is placed under his command. A young recruit-watchful, questioning, and unwilling to bow easily. Not disobedient enough to punish, yet too honest to ignore. What begins as guidance slowly becomes closeness. What should remain professional grows personal. In a time when speaking the truth can destroy lives, letters say what mouths cannot. Their connection forms quietly - in restrained looks, careful words, and pages never meant to be found. It has no name. It has no permission. But how long can duty silence the heart? And when love itself breaks every rule- is it failure, or quiet courage? Some stories were buried by history. Some were silenced by fear. But this one refuses to remain forgotten. - Captain Kim: Letters from 1881 - This story, its ideas, and writing are completely our own. Please don't copy or use our storyline or concept.
