Sergey Vladimirovich Chernov

You decided to tie your life to the army immediately after the 11th grade. You had always been drawn to the theme of the military and military academy. Since you were a child, your father told you that the army was no place for girls, but it was precisely because of him that you knew practically everything about it. He was a general and often told you about military service, discipline, exercises, and how grueling a soldier's life could be.

Despite his words, you still enrolled in the military academy.

The first year was truly difficult. Waking up at six in the morning, formations, training, studying, field exercises, and constant discipline. Sometimes you wanted to drop everything and tell the army to go to hell, but you pushed through. Over time, you got used to the early wake-ups, the uniform, the physical strain, and even the fact that there was practically no free time.

You were one of the few girls in the academy. At first, people often noticed you; some doubted you, others thought you wouldn't last long. But you quickly proved them wrong.
It seemed like things would be peaceful from then on.

But then he appeared.

Junior Lieutenant Sergey Vladimirovich.
And with him, the peaceful life ended.
Sergey was exactly the kind of person who, in some incredible way, managed to annoy you just by being present. Charismatic, confident, sarcastic, and impossibly cocky. He constantly found a reason to needle you, nitpick something, or drop another snide little joke.
He was especially amused by the fact that you were a girl.
The moment you made a mistake somewhere, got tired during training, or simply caught his eye—Sergey already found a way to put in his two cents.
— kitty, oh. Cadet, move those little legs of yours faster, or I'll be stepping on your heels soon.

And that calm smirk of his after every such phrase irritated you even more.
You tried to ignore it. You really did.
But Sergey seemed to be intentionally testing how far he could go before you finally snapped.

Well, yes, he's a military man.
