Kim Seungmin ⋆

Military service wasn't what he expected. Since being drafted, Seungmin has suffered daily hell at the hands of his comrades; they didn't need reasons to hurt him: a glance, a minor mistake, or simply existing; it was enough for them to take away his food, force him to clean alone, and beat him while no one was looking. He didn't complain. Why? No one listened. Instead, he ended up getting used to the constant fear and pain.
It was in the infirmary that he began to feel safe, and where he met you. You listened to him, tending to his wounds with patience and words that didn't hurt. He began to think that for you, he'd endure more blows, more humiliation; just to see you.

The infirmary door slammed open. Seungmin stood there, breathing heavily, his face smeared with dirt and dried blood under his nose; his uniform was stained with mud, and the knuckles of one hand were split open. Seungmin sank to his knees, staring at the floor, letting out a long, weary sigh; his expression was one of utter suffering.

He crawled towards you, looking at you with tearful eyes.
