Chapter 82 – Episode 082 Deployment of Subunits.

Episode 082 Deployment of self-units.

Minwoo’s life as a private soldier began when he was assigned to his own unit. Oh Kyung-soo, who had traveled by bus from the Nonsan Training Center, was assigned to the same platoon.

As expected, Minwoo was assigned to the frontline division. However, among them, it was a rear unit, so it was far from places like the Demilitarized Zone and Public Security Areas that we saw on TV.

Kyungsoo, who lives in Busan, had a very gloomy expression when he heard that he was in the front line, but Minwoo, who lives in Seoul, on the contrary, thought that it would be better to be deployed to the rear, like Busan, since this place is Gyeonggi-do.

The first thing that surprised Minwoo after being assigned to his unit was the appearance of the dormitory. It was completely different from the training center where the narrow floor was arranged in an 11-character shape with a long hallway in the middle.

Personal space was guaranteed with a private bed and a generous storage table next to the bed. It was a very welcome environment for Min-woo, who had a hard time living with men.

Later, I heard that not all units have such a bed-type dormitory. He was deploying sequentially, starting with the frontline units, and since this was the frontline unit, it was equipped with priority.

There were many good things about being a bed type. First of all, the best thing about him was that he didn’t get along with men, and there was also the convenience of not having to lay down and fold the mattress every time he went to bed and woke up. In addition, it was also great that it was possible to live in the dormitory even while wearing military boots that were difficult to put on and take off.

However, the heating was a bit poor. Since it was a bed rather than an ondol-style floor, it had to be heated by heating the air, but it wasn’t that warm. The cold was still there, so that was a little disappointing.

About 12 to 15 people lived together in one dormitory. Minwoo and Kyungsoo were placed in the same dormitory. It was the so-called same squad.

And these three squads are called a platoon, and the name of the platoon leader of the platoon that Minwoo belongs to is Jang In-seop, 26 years old this year, and the rank is lieutenant. He was the closest officer in charge of Minwoo and the squad to which Minwoo belonged.

He was also the first officer that Minwoo and Kyungsoo met after being assigned to a platoon here. In-seop guided Min-woo and Kyung-soo to the dormitory where they would live and introduced them to the seniors.

Minwoo’s life in the military went back to normal. He had to wake up at 6:00 a.M. Now it’s summertime. He says he wakes up at 6:30 a.M. 30 minutes late in the winter.

After waking up, I tidied up the bed and called the morning roll call. And after light running, gymnastics, stretching, etc., And washing and cleaning, I ate breakfast.

Minwoo didn’t have a specific food to cover, but he subtly liked the army jjambab. No, maybe it’s because my appetite has changed after a hard day’s work? He could eat it anyway.

After breakfast, the normal routine began. Minwoo, who has just been in the military for a while, did most of the basic military training.

However, he says he does a lot of snow removal on snowy days and weeding in summer. And he says that there are times when he does unit maintenance and maintenance.

After lunch in the middle of the day, I was connected to my work in the afternoon. And at 5:00 PM, the workday was over, and I did physical training or ball games.

For physical training, I often did canter, and I also strengthened my strength with iron bars, parallel bars, and weights. And most of the ball games were soccer. Minwoo also played soccer with his friends from time to time during his middle and high school days, and he was also good at sports, so he quickly got used to it. However, since he was a rookie, he was always placed in the back and kept in front of the goal.

After dinner, personal maintenance time was given. Personal maintenance time was mainly washing laundry, combat boots, and occasionally personal gun maintenance. Other than that, I even had a haircut.

Then it was cleaning time. The floor, as well as every nook and cranny, was dusted and wiped. Minwoo was usually in charge of cleaning the inside of the house, so cleaning to this extent was nothing.

After the cleaning was over, there was an evening roll call. It was time for the officer on duty to visit the dormitory and receive a report.

After this was over, it was bedtime. So the day’s work was over. Of course, there are other personal routines such as night shifts, but the basic overall routine is over.

Life began in an unfamiliar environment, but Min-woo did not find it very difficult. Contrary to what he was worried about, he had fewer disciplines or grievances from his seniors than he thought.

Of course, it was helpful that Minwoo diligently participated in all training, cleaning, and group activities. In particular, his performance in soccer was a key point in receiving the cuteness of his seniors.

And one person’s help was great. He was Ha Ji-seung, who enlisted a year before Min-woo, so-called his father’s military number. He said that in the old days he called the one-year senior his father and the two-year senior his grandfather. Of course, now that his military service period had changed to 24 months, there was no such thing as his grandfather’s military number.

Therefore, to Ji-seung, Min-wu became his son’s county number. Another one, Kyungsoo, was a son’s military number, just like Minwoo, but Jiseung took special care of Minwoo and was fond of him.

Ji-seung, now a corporal, was 23 years old and was also an older brother to Min-woo. As a military senior and older brother, Ji-seung taught Min-wu things he didn’t know and helped him adapt to his own army, which was of great help to Min-wu.

Of course, even if there was no noticeable thirst, the stress from the special environment of the military could not be avoided. Still, Minwoo was more comfortable adapting to his own unit than he thought.

Minwoo used his personal maintenance time to do a little overdue laundry. As he was doing the laundry, his classmate, Kyung-soo, took a load of laundry and sat down next to Min-woo and started doing the laundry.

“Is it worth it?”

“It’s okay.”

Kyungsoo’s words were simple, but he probably meant that military life was worth doing. Minwoo also gave an appropriate answer.

“Still, you seem to be getting a lot of cuteness from seniors.. I’m dying. I’m going to die hard.”

“Okay?”

Unlike Min-wu, who did not find military life too difficult, Kyung-soo seemed to have a hard time. I didn’t even know that a reaction like hard water was normal. Of course, the reason why Minwoo is loved by seniors is because he put in that much effort.

“Minwoo, you know Sergeant Kim Mi-joo, right?”

Kyungsoo took a look around and spoke in a low voice. Of course Minwoo knew. He was in the same platoon, so there was no way he wouldn’t know. It was a 22-year-old female noncommissioned officer who had been here for a year.

“Of course you know. But why?”

“Isn’t Sergeant Kim Mi-joo dating Sergeant Cho Jae-hyeon?”

“Okay?”

It was the first time Minwoo had heard it. Sgt. In his own words, it seemed that he played a little in society. His face was fair and he was tall, so he didn’t look like a lie.

However, it was a little hard to believe that Minwoo and Jaehyun were dating Mijoo. Because the two didn’t get along very well. Miju was a little on the short side, and her face was normal. She was not someone that Jaehyun, who was said to have excelled in society, would be interested in.

“Isn’t it not right?”

“Really. I’ve seen the two of them secretly meet.”

“What if you get caught then…”

“I happened to pass by. I didn’t follow you on purpose, so what…”

“Anyway, the two don’t get along very well…”

“Hey.. I’m a woman in the military. Don’t you know that everything looks pretty just by wearing a skirt?”

Minwoo couldn’t agree with Kyungsoo’s words, but it was hard to deny him. Minwoo also came to look back sometimes even when the ordinary Mijoo passed by. Of course, I wasn’t wearing a skirt.

In the military, it was always the same daily routine. Min-woo was not very interested in other people’s entertainment history, but in this boring life, it was like a scoop. Minwoo was curious and asked a question.

“So. What conversation did you two have?”

“Did you say what your brother was saying?”

It’s true that 24-year-old Jae-hyun is older than 23-year-old Mi-joo, but this is the military. There was a difference in rank between a sergeant and a sergeant, so it was not possible for an ordinary person to use such a title. That statement alone was tantamount to conclusive evidence that the two were dating.

“And they even kissed. While kissing, Sergeant Cho Jae-hyun put his hand inside Sergeant Kim Mi-joo’s clothes and kneaded her breasts as well.”

Kyungsoo lowered his voice and continued his words. Minwoo was also a little shocked by Kyungsoo’s words. It wasn’t that we went out to sleep together and secretly met, but it was great that we did such a thing within the unit. Of course, he would have hidden in a remote place, but it was not a safe place even if he was caught by Kyungsoo.

“And they broke up, but after watching that, I hid in the bathroom in the evening and masturbated. How bad it was..”

Kyungsoo put on a blank expression as if he still recalled the scene. Come to think of it, Minwoo didn’t seem to have masturbated recently.

For a while after being deployed to the base, I remembered the sex between Yuna and Jinwon, so I masturbated several times. However, he tried not to think about it as much as possible because it only bothered him even if he kept thinking about it.

Minwoo moved his hand, which had stopped, and washed again. As Kyungsoo started doing the laundry, there was silence between the two for a while. And Kyungsoo brought his words out again.

“Ugh… It’s not long before the recruits are on vacation. I am already looking forward to it.”

Recently, Kyungsoo brought up this topic whenever he opened his mouth. Of course, Minwoo was also looking forward to it. Now, in a week, I will go on a vacation of 4 nights and 5 days given on the 100th day after enlisting. It’s been a while since I was assigned to my own unit.

“Minwoo, don’t break your promise.”

“Okay.”

Kyungsoo said that he had never been to Seoul, and on the first day, he asked for a tour of Seoul. Minwoo had no intention of wanting to spend a five-day, four-night vacation like that, but he couldn’t continue to ruthlessly refuse his comrade’s earnest request.

After finishing the laundry, Minwoo and Kyungsoo returned to the dormitory. And after the cleaning and the evening roll call, it was bedtime. Minwoo had a night shift, so he didn’t sleep.

And today, the vigilant opponent of Min-woo and his team was Sergeant Cho Jae-hyeon. Right after Min-woo heard that from Kyung-soo, his Jae-hyun looked different than usual.

“Minwoo, shall we go soon?”

“Yes. All right.”

Minwoo and Jaehyun moved to the guard post where they will be on watch. The overtime shift was 2 hours. Still, it’s my first time now, so if I get a night shift in the middle of the night, I wake up, prepare, and go back after the night shift to get ready to sleep, and I lose about 3 hours. Of course, there was no such thing as a certain number of people standing only for the first time because the night watch hours kept going back and forth.

A boring time passed. When Minwoo was with Jiseung, his father’s service number, he would talk first, but the difference between Jjambab and Jjambab was so great that it was awkward to talk to him first. However, Jaehyun, who was bored, spoke her first.

“Is military life worth it?”

It was the same question I asked Kyungsoo a few hours ago. But he couldn’t give the same answer because the target to answer was different. Minwoo spoke in a disciplined voice as much as possible.

“Yes. It’s worth it.”

Jaehyun smiled at Minwoo’s answer. Jaehyun knew of course she wasn’t, but she also knew that this answer would come back. It was such an obvious answer that I laughed.

“There is no way I can do it. How can a life in the military worthlessly wasting time like this be worth it?”

“..”

Minwoo didn’t know what to answer. If he says yes, he opposes the entire army, and if he says no, he opposes Jae-hyun, the senior officer.

“It’s okay. That’s just what I said More than that, I would have been really frustrated without Sergeant Kim Mi-joo.”

Minwoo was really surprised. It was right after he heard that from Kyungsoo, so he did it even more. Jaehyun has less than two months left in his military service. So he seemed to speak without much hesitation.

“Did you know that I was dating Kim Mi-joo and Ha Sa-rang?

“I didn’t know.”

“Okay? Everyone who knows a little about it will know. I didn’t tell you, but I didn’t hide it either.”

“Is that so?”

“Since Sergeant Kim Mi-joo started seeing her half a year after being deployed here, she has been seeing her for about half a year now.”

“Then are you still dating?”

“Hehe. I’m crazy? Going out with a girl who is so common that you would get hit by her foot while walking down that road?”

“..No.”
