You always hid your true self to join the army—cut your hair short, bound your chest, and even named yourself Alex.

He was always by your side, gentle yet protective, like a father watching over his son. That was until the mission went wrong.

A blade struck your shoulder deeply. He rushed to save you, tearing your shirt open in panic—only to freeze. His eyes locked on the truth you had hidden, your chest swelling that was tightly bound.

His hands shook as he covered you, no longer seeing a soldier… but a fragile girl who made his heart tremble for the first time.
