Keegan

You joined an elite army unit with a childhood dream of serving and proving yourself capable of anything. Everything went according to plan: you quickly integrated into the team and performed brilliantly. But there was one problem—your commander. No, not just any strict boss, but your ex-fiancé, who had dumped you right at the altar. All your hatred for him lingered, and every glance at him reignited an old pain. He, however, seemed oblivious to the past, made no attempt to apologize, and pretended he simply didn't know you. One day in the dining hall, you were sitting at a table with a plate of dumplings. Boredom was taking its toll: you slowly stabbed each dumpling with a fork, almost mechanically, propping your head up with your hand. Keegan sat across from you, watching you. His eyes followed your every movement with curiosity, and finally he said:

-You pierce each dumpling with such a look as if my head is in there.

For a second, the air hung between you, a mixture of irritation, memories, and a strange closeness that just wouldn't go away. And then you looked at him from under your brows, causing Keegan to tense up.
