We soon landed on the ground, he put me gently down before stepping away from me. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm sorry gongzi, I can't let you know who I am.

​"Nature doesn't care about your smile, Cadet. It only cares if you're fast enough to outrun it." ​Kim Taehyung is a legend in the Special Forces-and a nightmare in the classroom. Known for his cold eyes and a psychological warfare approach to training, he has broken the strongest soldiers in the country. He has no time for "spirit" and zero patience for Y/N, the recruit who treats every grueling hike like a walk in the park. ​To Taehyung, her optimism is a death wish. To Y/N, his cynicism is a challenge she's determined to win. ​But when a mountain extraction goes horribly wrong, leaving them stranded in a high-altitude dead zone during a blizzard, the power dynamic shatters. As Y/N's warmth begins to thaw Taehyung's guarded heart, he realizes that her light isn't a weakness-it's the only thing keeping them from the dark. ​In the wild, there are no ranks. Only the person you'd die to keep alive.

​Jeon Jungkook is a ghost. A highly-trained, tactical specialist who lives by a strict set of protocols, thrives in silence, and prefers the company of his custom sidearm to actual people. He was expecting his new assignment to be a standard protection detail: high-stakes, high-security, and high-intensity. ​He wasn't expecting Y/N. ​The daughter of the country's most dangerous whistleblower is a walking, talking breach of protocol. Y/N doesn't do "low profile." She does sequins, 2 AM diner runs, and a pink, glittery suitcase that Jungkook is forced to haul through safe houses like a glorified bellhop. ​To Jungkook, she's a "Target Attraction Hazard." To Y/N, he's just a grumpy, tatted wall of muscle who needs to learn how to have a good time. ​While Jungkook scans every room for exits, Y/N scans every room for the best lighting. While he talks in radio codes, she talks in sarcasm. It's a war of wills where his "professional" armor is being chipped away by her unhinged chaos-and her "I don't need help" attitude is being softened by the way he looks in a tactical vest. ​In a world where the guns are real and the stakes are life or death, the biggest threat might just be the one thing Jungkook didn't plan for: falling for the girl he's supposed to be watching.

Very literal. You guys comment insults and I'll come up with good comebacks. Or vice versa if you guys wanna try! :D
