The bomb that fell again from the fighter plane brutally shattered the biggest main building in the base and turned its surroundings into a sea of flames in no time.
Had Tae Seo Jun not gone to the medical ward, or if he had returned to his office a bit earlier, he would have died instantly inside the main building. The gap between life and death was that shallow.
Without having to take his pulse, Seo Jun looked once more at the lifeless medic and began to respond swiftly to this urgent crisis with the soldiers rushing out of the quarters building.
Surrounded by a pile of rocks, this Korean military base was the ideal fortress. Thus, two fighter planes were not enough to decimate it.
The retaliatory surprise attack from Sellar, where hostages were rescued earlier today, was certain. But why were they, who were about to hold important negotiations the next day and discuss peace, doing such an unprecedented provocation? Nobody had anticipated this.
Bombs were still falling, but Seo Jun, who had regained his scattered breath, quickly walked to the bunker where the command post was. Striding over the broken bricks and all sorts of fragments.
But another incoming shell blocked his path.
Bang!
In that moment, Seo Jun, who was flung away, belatedly realised that he had fallen on the path due to the significant shock.
He needed to stand up again, but his body wouldn’t listen. His head and body, which had hit the ground hard, were wetting the dirt with the spreading blood, and Seo Jun’s consciousness also started to blur.
However, as the countless starlights in the dark night sky poured deeply into his eyes, Seo Jun was able to delay his collapsing consciousness for a moment.
Was it possible for the sky to sparkle so beautifully while the ground was like hell? It was funny to think of her, who looked even prettier with clean eyes, at possibly the last moment of his life.
Was I really crazy to miss that winter night with her which lasted only a day?
His thoughts did not go any further from there. The tinnitus was ringing and only her face was spinning in his head.
“Uh……”
Seo Jun couldn’t help but chuckle.
What overlapped in his increasingly blurred vision were the Milky Way sprinkled like gem dust in the night sky and the flames burning fiercely from the ground.
Now he couldn’t hear any sound. Seo Jun slowly closed his eyes.
It was a cruel yet beautiful night where no more expressions could be made.
There was such a thing.
It was difficult in the past, but even more so now. Knowing it makes it harder. The impact of the accident was so great that it was extremely hard to even attempt to stand in front of the camera, under the spotlight.
But, having accomplished that scary task, how could she not be happy?
Her large eyes, which bravely faced the camera, were sparkling even more today because she was a little nervous.
“Very good! So Yeon, please stay a bit longer in that pose!”
So Yeon’s appearance on screen was so beautiful that there was no goddess like her. That’s why the director’s expression was full of excitement, exclaiming admiration.
“Now, zoom in!”
At the director’s word, dozens of lights flashed on all at once. And that bright light was completely absorbed by her mysterious backside.
Including the height of her high heels, Eom So Yeon was 175 cm tall. Although she wasn’t as tall as a runway model, her body’s fantastic proportion and elastic curves were not any less.
Her small face with concave and convex features also looked like a porcelain doll crafted with a craftsman’s full devotion.
It was a blessing that she didn’t injure her face in the sudden accident a while ago.
It was an incident that occurred in the middle of last year, six months ago.
The horrible accident left a long scar of about 8 centimeters on the back of So Yeon’s head.
After overcoming fierce competition, So Yeon, who had reluctantly secured a supporting role in a movie called “The Temptation of God”, was severely injured on the first day of shooting when part of the set collapsed on her.
However, what hurt So Yeon more was the cruel reality of the industry. Her role was given to someone else. What’s more, she developed camera motion sickness and was unable to avoid difficulties for several months.
However, today, as she was resuming her activities after the hiatus, So Yeon’s tightly pursed lips were quite determined. Although it was just a commercial, she wanted to do her best as she was driven by a desperate determination to seize this opportunity.
“The submodel is quite pretty, isn’t it? Is she a rookie actress?”
“That’s Eom So Yeon. She was chosen as a supporting actress in a movie that Jung Hwa Unnie starred in last year. But there was an accident, you know.”
“Accident?”
The two women gossiping in a corner of the set were the manager and stylist of Yoo Jung Hwa, the main model of the commercial being filmed and currently the top actress.
“Yes, because of that accident, she was the only one injured and the supporting role was immediately replaced with a new actress. She has enough acting skills and education, but her luck doesn’t seem to follow her. This commercial might be her first shoot since that incident.”
“Education?”
“Yes. She’s a graduate from S University. You know you have to study well there, even in the acting department.”
As the stylist, who was new to the entertainment industry, kept showing curiosity, Seong Jin Ah, who was experienced in the field, spilled out everything she knew, forgetting the tasks assigned by Yoo Jung Hwa.
“She was in Canada until recently, and it seems like nothing she did after returning went well. Thankfully, her agency is the famous CN, so that might be a relief.”
“Anyway, I’m very envious. If she’s only twentysix, it’s not too late. If she goes to that school, she must be naturally blessed with a pretty face and a good brain.”
“Kind of, isn’t it?”
Ring……
Seong Jin Ah, who was chatting away without noticing the passing time, crumpled up her face like paper as soon as she received a phone call. It was from Yoo Jung Hwa, who was scolding her even more severely than usual.
As if they had been caught redhanded, the two women hastily ran to the waiting room. At that moment, the director’s shout echoed loudly inside the studio.
“Cut!”
So Yeon, who had safely completed her first shoot in a long time, managed to move behind the camera with her shaky legs.
“Well done!”
Do Soon, who ran up with her bobbed hair flying around, comforted So Yeon by patting her back.
“Was I okay?”
“Don’t worry. You were very pretty. See, you can do it!”
“Sigh……”
A faint smile spread across So Yeon’s lips, accompanied by a sigh of relief.
But Do Soon’s behavior, from her gaze onward, seemed strange. So Yeon asked her about it.
“What’s wrong with you? You look like you’re about to cry.”
“I’ll tell you later. Let’s take care of you first.”
“Tell me now. What happened?”
“Well… I saw a news article just now……”
When So Yeon cut her off, Do Soon started her story hesitantly.
“Our brother Seo Jun… he only had a few days left before he was discharged, but there was a big bombing in the deployment unit……”
It was clear from her gloomy face that the story was not good news, but So Yeon, who sensed it was about him, had no choice but to interrupt Do Soon.
“And, and then.”
“He died! Sob……”
“……!”
That couldn’t be!
The heavens… No, all the gods in the world, can’t really do this to me!
So Yeon, in whom everything stopped for a moment, plopped down into a chair.
