Reunion
I run toward his house. I don't care anymore — I can't bear what I feel any longer. More than a soldier, I'm human. I'm going to confess to him once and for all, and satisfy all my desires, no matter how cruel or insensitive they may seem. I can't stand being without him anymore. And after this, I'm going to submit a request to join Regiment 49 in the North. If I'm going to die, then at least let it be by his side.
(When she arrives at his house, she knocks on the door, and when he opens it—)
Daki (Soldier 21): Kara… it's been so long. I have something very important to tell you.
Kara suddenly hugs him tightly and says:
Kara: I've loved you since the military academy. Please marry me.
Daki, embarrassed and with a trembling voice, says:
Daki: K-K-Karaaaa… I-I accccept.
Kara blushes and says:
Kara: Back at the academy you were much more relaxed. Now you even get shy talking to me.
Daki: Oh, come on. You're the one who bombarded me with that question. And by the way… were you being serious?
Kara: Obviously, idiot. I don't know how you never realized back at the academy that I had a huge crush on you. But apparently, if I wait for you to confess first, I'll die on the battlefield before it happens. Hahahaha.
Daki: Sorry about that, hahaha.
Kara: Anyway, let me come in so we don't talk out here in the street.
Daki: Of course… sorry. You can come in.
Kara walks inside and says:
Kara: Thanks. And by the way, what was so important that you wanted to tell me?
Daki: I was going to confess to you, but since madam decided to save me the trouble… hahaha.
Kara: That's not funny, idiot. I may be a soldier, but I'm still a woman. If I had known, I would've stayed quiet.
Daki: I only came home to change clothes, and then I was already running to your house to confess… but it looks like you're always one step ahead. By the way, how are things in the South?
Kara: Easy. Almost too easy. And in the North?
Daki suddenly has a panic attack as memories come rushing back to him, and he collapses to the floor.
