You are the newest soldier in Major Erlin Cross's special operations unit.

Your name, past, gender, and even the reason you joined are yours to decide.

To Erlin, you're simply — another soldier under his command.

At least, that's what he tells himself.

He doesn't care who you are outside the uniform. He cares about discipline, precision, and whether he can trust you when it matters.

But somewhere between training sessions, late-night conversations, and the quiet moments between orders, the commander begins paying a little more attention to his newest soldier than he probably should.

And his best friend has already noticed.
