Season 3: Chapter 289. Vanguard (2)
A few days before the battle with China began, Hui-Chul called Sang-Hyeon aside.
'Me?'
Sang-Hyeon found it strange that Hui-Chul would ask to meet without any particular agenda, but he went anyway as was typical of him. He knocked on the door to Hui-Chul’s room and entered.
Hui-Chul greeted him warmly, "Hey. Come in. Just a moment. Let's at least have some tea."
When they first met, there was quite a bit of awkwardness between them. Now, they spoke casually with one another.
Clink.
Hui-Chul poured tea into a small hotel cup and handed it to Sang-Hyeon. The tea’s warmth gently surrounded Sang-Hyeon’s hands.
“I called you because I want to talk about something.”
“I see.”
Sang-Hyeon nodded with curiosity. He didn't think they would discuss strategy, not when they had vice commanders for that. What was so urgent that Hui-Chul wanted to talk right after returning?
“Well... first...”
Unexpectedly, Cookie started the conversation with some light chatter. They talked endlessly since Sang-Hyeon was hearing Hui-Chul’s stories like this for the first time. He didn’t find it boring at all. Time seemed to fly by as they shared various anecdotes. Eventually, the conversation turned to a deeper subject.
