Army III

Noise filled Joon-won's ears like he was sitting at an open-air cafe near an airport, the deafening clamor relentlessly assaulting him. Subconsciously, he waved his hand as if trying to shoo away the irritation. But his stiff muscles wouldn't budge, inducing a sense of panic. Despite his efforts and struggles, he remained frozen, unable to even move a finger, as if pinned down by an otherworldly force.

"Get up! Joon-won."

A thunderous roar exploded in his ears. Joon-won jerked up to a seated position, his eyes barely open before the searing brightness pierced through them, causing his pupils to ache. He squeezed his eyes shut and gradually opened them again, finally adjusting to the light. Looking around, he saw everyone already changing into their uniforms. Hea Jun, who was shaking him with an urgent expression, stood beside him.
