AUTHOR'S  POV

In the fading light of the railway station, the boy stood by the window, his heart heavy with sorrow.

The train's engine hummed softly as it began to pull away, and he strained his eyes, searching desperately for a glimpse of her in the crowd.

"Where are you..."he mumbled

But she was nowhere to be seen.

On the platform, the girl ran as fast as her legs could carry her, tears streaming down her face in rivulets of despair.

"Please wait a little...."

She called out to him, her voice choked with emotion, begging for just a moment more. But her words were lost in the chaos of the departing train.

As the gap between them widened, the boy's anguish grew, his heart aching with every beat.

He wanted to wait, to give her another chance, but the train showed no mercy, its relentless motion carrying him further and further from her embrace.

The girl reached out, her hand trembling as she reached for the fading silhouette of the boy through the window.

But her fingers grasped only empty air, and she crumpled to the ground, her sobs echoing through the empty platform.

In that moment of heartbreak, the boy felt a piece of himself shatter irreparably.

He had hoped against hope that she would come, that she would fight for their love as fiercely as he had.

But in the end, she had let him slip through her fingers, leaving him to face the darkness alone.

And as the train disappeared into the distance, carrying him away from her forever, he whispered a final goodbye into the cold night air, his voice barely a whisper against the roar of the departing locomotive.

Ring !!!!!!

The irregular ring of the alarm in the middle of night jolted her awake, tearing her from the clutches of sleep with a violent abruptness.

"Aish again that dream.....I will surely go crazy if I get that dream one more time"

With a frustrated grunt, she slammed her hand down on the nightstand, silencing the blaring noise it's still midnight...and her sleep broke.

But just as she closed her eyes, seeking refuge in the comforting embrace of slumber, another sound shattered the silence.

It wasn't the shrill beeping of the alarm this time, but rather the insistent ringing of her phone.

With a deep-seated annoyance gnawing at her, she sat up in bed, her expression twisted into a scowl of irritation. Who could possibly be calling her at this ungodly hour?

Grasping the phone with a sense of reluctant resignation, she answered the call, her annoyance palpable even through the receiver.

"What?" she snapped, her voice laced with impatience.

But instead of the expected greeting from her best friend, there was only silence on the other end of the line.

A cold shiver snaked its way down her spine as she listened, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end.

"Hello?" she ventured cautiously, her annoyance giving way to a creeping sense of unease.

Still, there was no response, only the eerie echo of her own voice reverberating through the empty silence.

With a mounting sense of dread, she strained to listen for any sign of life on the other end of the line, but all she heard was the steady rhythm of her own heartbeat pounding in her ears.

Then, just as she was about to hang up in frustration, a voice broke through the silence, sending a chill down her spine.

"Hey ynnie, it's me," her best friend's voice crackled through the static, sending a wave of relief washing over her.

With a sigh of exasperation, she relaxed slightly, her tense muscles loosening as she settled back against the headboard.

Despite her annoyance at being woken up in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude at the sound of her friend's familiar voice.

"What do you want?" she grumbled, her annoyance tempered by a hint of fondness.

"Bish...guess what," Ashy chirped from the other side, her voice brimming with excitement, oblivious to YN's annoyance at having her peaceful sleep interrupted.

"Huh...what...you sound excited as if you won some kind of lottery," YN grumbled, rubbing her eyes in frustration.

"Well, it's more than a lottery, babe. It's a jackpot... and not just for me, for both of us," Ashy exclaimed, her words tumbling out in a rush of exhilaration.

YN's mind raced, trying to comprehend Ashy's words. A flicker of realization sparked within her, and her heart began to pound with anticipation.

"Don't tell me what I'm thinking is true?" YN asked, her voice trembling with excitement.

Ashy's response was a nod, but it was enough to send YN's heart soaring. The realization hit her like a tidal wave, overwhelming her with emotions she couldn't begin to articulate.

She quickly ran to grab her Laptop...there it was filled with so many notifications as that one email came into her view.....

Without wasting any second she quickly opened and the next second a surprising gasp left her mouth.

"Oh my god, seriously?" YN gasped, her eyes widening as tears of joy welled up, threatening to spill over.

"It's true, babe. We did it!" Ashy exclaimed, her own eyes shimmering with unshed tears of happiness.

★★★

As the ceremony concluded, the air buzzed with excitement and accomplishment. Yn felt a surge of adrenaline as she spotted Ashy darting towards her, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Shall we celebrate our success, Dr. Shin?" Ashy teased, a playful grin tugging at her lips.

Yn's smirk mirrored Ashy's as she replied, "Why not, Dr. Ashy? After all this hard work, celebration is a must."

------

As the cheers echoed through the club, Yn and her friends lifted their glasses in unison, their spirits soaring high with the elation of their success.

In the dimly lit ambiance of the club, the night unfurled like a tapestry of joy and liberation.

Each sip of alcohol felt like a release, a fleeting escape from the weight of their responsibilities and the uncertainty looming on the horizon.

But amidst the laughter and revelry, a shadow of apprehension lingered in Yn's mind.

The thought of the impending enlistment, of being separated from her friends and thrust into the unknown, gnawed at her like a persistent ache.

"Yn....what do you think ? Which unit you are going to get enlisted in " one of the girl asked.

"I don't know... I'm getting nervous. What if I get enlisted alone?" Yn confessed, her voice tinged with worry, her eyes searching for reassurance.

Ashy, ever the beacon of light in Yn's darkest moments, enveloped her in a tight embrace, her presence a soothing balm to Yn's frayed nerves.

"Don't worry, bish... No matter wherever you get enlisted to, I will always stick with you like a tail," Ashy declared, her words slurring slightly from the alcohol, but her conviction shining bright.

She couldn't help but chuckle at Ashy's antics, a mixture of exasperation and fondness washing over her.

"Why the heck do you drink when you can't tolerate alcohol, bish?" Yn teased, gently taking the glass from Ashy's hand.

"I wish we get enlisted into the same unit. Gosh, I don't know how you'll take care of yourself if I'm not with you."As the night wore on, Yn knew it was time to bring the festivities to a close.

With a sigh, she announced, "Alright, guys, party's over. I need to drop her home."while holding ashy.

"Hehe ...I...i...know you aren't going t..to leave m..me not in this life bish" ashy said while resting her head on yn's shoulder.

"You are so heavy....yahh get up and walk by yourself " yn said as she begin to walk towards the entrance while holding ashy.

"C...carry me in your a..arms j..jagiya..." And there she goes all wasted.

"I don't know whose gonna handle you just like I do " yn sighed as she made her sit inside the car.

"No one ..." Ashy murmured as yn looked at her with so done expression....whose gonna tell that this girl has became a Doctor.

Who's going to handle several patients while she can't even handle herself properly....

One week later~

--Korea combat training center for the ROK army and marine  corps,North-east Seoul-

As Yn and Ashy stepped onto the grounds of the military training center, a sense of awe washed over them.

The sight of the imposing academy buildings and the disciplined soldiers marching in formation filled them with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

"Wow, I can't believe we're actually here," Yn whispered, her eyes wide with wonder.

"Yeah, it's like stepping into a whole new world," Ashy replied, her voice tinged with excitement.

As they took in their surroundings, a soldier approached them, his uniform crisp and his demeanor authoritative.

"Welcome to the military training center, recruits," the soldier greeted them with a salute.

"I'm Sergeant Kim, and I'll be guiding you through your orientation."

Yn and Ashy exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with anticipation.

"Thank you, Sergeant Kim," Yn said, returning the salute. "We're honored to be here."

Sergeant Kim nodded approvingly before leading them on a tour of the facility, pointing out the various training grounds, barracks, and classrooms along the way.

"As military physicians, you'll be an integral part of our unit," Sergeant Kim explained.

"You'll undergo rigorous training to ensure you're prepared for any situation."

Yn and Ashy listened intently, their determination growing with each passing moment.

"We'll do our best, Sergeant," Ashy declared, her voice filled with determination.

As the tour continued, Yn and Ashy couldn't help but feel a sense of pride swell within them.

They were embarking on a new chapter of their lives, one filled with challenges and opportunities to serve their country with honor and distinction.

And as they followed Sergeant Kim through the halls of the military academy, they knew that together, they would face whatever lay ahead with courage and resilience.

★★★

As suergeant Kim led Yn and Ashy towards their designated room, the gravity of their situation sank in.

They were not only the newest recruits but also the only female doctors in the entire military area. The absence of other female candidates for training underscored the rarity of their presence.

Yn exchanged a glance with Ashy, a mixture of pride and apprehension reflected in their eyes.

"This is it," Sergeant Kim announced, stopping in front of a nondescript door. "Your room for the duration of your training."

Yn stepped forward, her hand hovering over the doorknob, a surge of anticipation coursing through her veins.

"Thank you, Sergeant," she said, her voice steady despite the flutter of nerves in her stomach. "We appreciate your guidance."

Sergeant Kim nodded, his expression stern yet supportive.

"Remember, you're here for a reason. Make the most of this opportunity and prove yourselves worthy of the trust placed in you."

Yn and Ashy exchanged a determined look, a silent vow passing between them. They would not let their gender or the absence of peers deter them from excelling in their training.

As they stepped into their room, the weight of their responsibilities settled upon their shoulders like a heavy mantle.

But beneath the surface, a fierce determination burned bright, driving them forward into the unknown with unwavering resolve.

"We've got this," Yn said, her voice tinged with determination.

Ashy nodded, her eyes blazing with determination. "No doubt about it. Let's show them what we're made of."

Ashy said while putting the trunk under her bed .....they got a separate room for themselves in the end of the hallway as they both are the only females here .

"Let's take some proper rest ashy....the new challenge is going to start from tomorrow.....hahhh" yn said while going inside the changing room , after sometime she returned after changing into a fresh pair of pajamas.

"Hmm..." Ashy hummed before going into a deep slumber.while yn looked at her after not getting any response from her side ....she finds ashy snoring noisely.

"What the.... already slept ? Now what should I do.... I'm not sleepy" thinking she walked towards the balcony....

"The moon is beautiful," Yn whispered, her voice barely audible over the gentle night breeze.

She rested her hands on the balcony railing, her gaze fixed on the serene glow of the moon hanging in the sky like a luminous pearl.

But her peaceful reverie shattered abruptly as she heard the unmistakable sounds of commotion emanating from the nearby ground.

Frowning, she turned her attention toward the source of the noise, her curiosity piqued.

Her heart sank as she witnessed two soldiers running in a circle, their movements frantic and desperate.

The sight filled her with a sense of unease, as if witnessing something forbidden.

"Looks like they're getting punished," she murmured, her eyes furrowing But her gaze was drawn to another figure standing in the center of the ground.

back facing her direction...she couldn't see his face only his well built wide shoulder came into her view.

"So he gave them such punishment....how Cruel "

Behold a thousand times, yet restlessness persists,

How to contain this heart, it insists.

In you, it finds a tale untold,

A stirring within, a love to behold.
