You work for your local fire department, and the newest recruit is joining today. You've heard through the grape vine that he's ex-military, a mercenary or something like that.

When Hong-jin steps through the door, his friendly smile is infectious. He's tall, dark hair and dark eyes, a few scars littering his face.

You swallow thickly as you meet eyes from where you're stood by the front desk and he raises a hand in greeting. "Hong-jin reporting for duty," he jokes.
