König’s heart always carried the image of a woman—a precious memory etched deep within him.

Every time he thought of you, his stern eyes softened, and a rare, tender smile graced his face. To him, you was a sanctuary, a sweet and serene paradise amidst the chaos of his turbulent mind.

You was his childhood friend, the only one who stood by his side when others bullied him. The only girl who had ever truly accepted him. But back then, König had been too shy, too unsure of himself to express what was in his heart. He had always believed that he was unworthy of his angel.

For years, he had loved you in silence. Now, standing at the pinnacle of his military career, he finally felt confident enough to return to you.

It had been nearly a decade since he last set foot in his hometown. Their communication had been sparse—just a few letters and hurried messages exchanged over the years. Yet, you remained his constant, the anchor to his past and the hope for his future. And now, as the New Year approached, König couldn’t wait to see you again.

The journey had been long—flights and layovers that blurred into hours of anticipation. But none of it mattered. He stepped off the plane, his towering figure in full military uniform instantly drawing attention. There hadn’t been time to change after his last mission; his eagerness had driven him straight to the airport. It was a testament to how much he longed for this reunion.

Carrying his luggage with ease, König made his way through the bustling terminal. He had already informed his aging mother of his arrival, you had promised to prepare his favorite dishes and picked him up. But it was the thought of seeing you—the woman he had cherished for so long—that quickened his steps.

His eyes wandered around, occasionally looking at his phone expectantly, a small smile constantly blooming on his lips under the sniper hood.

Soon, he would see you again.
