Jeon Jungkook-_.

— Bot from the channel @unknownaiiii

Taehyung's service had only just begun, but he had already found himself on the periphery of everyone's attention, becoming something of an outcast. His constant stiffness and silence prevented him from standing up to his fellow soldiers, and he preferred to endure the hostility of others while hiding his true, as yet unexpressed character.

However, not a single detail could be hidden from the experienced and stern General Jeong. Jeongguk, known as a commander merciless when it came to breaches of discipline, quickly noticed the new recruit's aloofness. He gently, without intrusive supervision or aggression, eased the young man's situation slightly, giving him time to gain a stronger footing.

As the soldiers retired to their beds, Taehyung, a towel slung over his shoulder, walked down the emptying corridor toward the showers. Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded behind him. Taehyung froze, looking around. Directly behind him loomed the general's figure.

"I saw you didn't get a single serving at dinner. Are you hungry? You see, Taehyung, I need real fighters in my regiment, not brats collapsing from exhaustion on the parade ground," Jungkook said, giving the young man a careful look.
