BEAUTIFUL SOLDIER282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0MwyepK3O
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrEKDcGxLi
In the heart of a deep forest, darkness slowly crept in as the sun vanished behind the thick canopy. Beneath a towering bamboo tree sat a young man, his eyes lost and full of sorrow.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApVDJ5ryH7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOV8JFXlAy
“It’s not my fault… it’s not,” he whispered, a small stick trembling in his hand. “How could I be blamed for that patient’s death? I did everything I could…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6GsM0mhJ6
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKIwrAmsn5
This was Doctor Dereck, once a top physician at Forewell Hospital. Now? Just a man whose career had shattered like glass, blamed for a life he tried to save.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmOlmlOpoa
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IakVLC1Eb
To escape the storm of judgment and pain, Dereck had come here—alone. Searching for peace. But peace had other plans.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaqcHE3oUi
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2C8ozdqC
Gunshots.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWluuPEs6Pk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFalZeuDwny
His body tensed. “Was that… a gun?” His heart raced.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tdyH1kJjX
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAZVtpnHmX
More shots followed—louder, closer.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMpFx0EBDo
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKNQ6swYGk
Out of instinct, he dove behind the bamboo tree. “God, please… I know death is part of life, but not today. I’m only 25…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXGOoVQaYL
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VRsViTPML
PA! PA! PA!282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOrr7DAvhh
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Yl2et79E
Then came the chaos. Soldiers appeared, firing back at masked enemies dressed in black, a brutal fight unfolding before his eyes.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTbMbrlBAM
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9LP0N7qTm
And then—he saw her.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zKN3yx5cd
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzUzlWFbkV
A girl. A soldier. A vision.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUUA9SvPl
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbMu8RFhwM
She stood amidst the flying bullets, firing with precise calm. Her round face was fierce and beautiful. Her small lips pursed in focus. Brown eyes locked on target. Even in her uniform, her grace was impossible to ignore.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRIVb5Blo2
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oP2HsnpIW
Dereck’s breath caught. “What… is this? A soldier or an angel?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eAeboP7V7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgsBLdFmpc
And before he could blink, the angel ran straight toward him.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH58Eo5qZad
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugQ2HOTvIS
She shoved him aside just in time to strike down a masked attacker who had been creeping up behind him.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3MZiSO9Ff
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkmWlQxmk9
He hit the ground hard, stunned. “That bastard almost killed me…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd00txpwH3
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0rFSMZRDY
His heart pounded, but all he could think of was her. He turned to look again—282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpe0I5PKfw
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimDU1RJZx
She was gone.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQE9eYfVCH
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHsJbzmVY4
But not for long.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8FFPUzd9X
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtncfouGRrh
The masked enemies, clearly losing the fight, began retreating into the forest, disappearing into the night. The gunfire stopped. Silence returned.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPH3KV2dyv
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT58cWz6Gq
The soldiers gathered quickly—and to Dereck’s amazement, the girl stepped forward, her voice sharp and steady.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0KcC5EDYn
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN72LjwIWIQ
“Circle formation. Sweep perimeter. Stay alert.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB9dv6PhES
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPFaes0S7X
They followed instantly. She was no ordinary soldier.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaF4FSbJ9Z
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIFjyR8F1d
She was the captain.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQI6ARgvnm
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf99DpE3ie
As the others moved out, she turned to him slowly, her intense eyes locking on his.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYclvywZ1Hv
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DAIW4JcIn
“You. Civilian. What the hell are you doing in the forest all alone?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu55dOkpO3
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurjkUX3QeK
Dereck blinked, then stood, brushing dirt off his clothes with a small smirk. “Chilling.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjdCAu4u0
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMjeS9RaG2
She didn’t laugh. She stared.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEMGgSFw6Z
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDH9dE2hpZ
He cleared his throat, trying again. “I just needed space… to think. To breathe. Didn’t expect bullets and angels, though.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bdfZbHH09
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCbQkvRi6T
“Angels?” she asked, one brow raised.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz86q9iZTvo
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQU4qS6jcS
He smiled, eyes scanning her face with open admiration. “Yeah. You. Honestly, if you weren’t holding a gun and barking orders, I’d swear I was hallucinating.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHs7aO5V9v
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQTjBsUI6l
She rolled her eyes, but a flicker of a smile teased the corner of her lips. “This forest isn’t a spa. You’re lucky you didn’t get yourself killed.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPeXeih2KT
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmYYuwfKCk
He stepped closer. “Well, if I had, at least it’d be worth it. You’d be the last face I saw.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP1ppTyYBD
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat6tbwKMm7
She gave him a sharp look—half warning, half amused. “You always flirt with people who just saved your life?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqHihaQvAJ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelD1KDbxrS
“Only when they’re beautiful,” he replied smoothly, eyes twinkling. “And dangerous. You’re a deadly combination, Captain…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RWzrhvTaw
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSiM6M4xnr
“Captain Raya,” she said firmly.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VcqzEc0KT
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsyPLox1pc
He nodded, locking the name in his heart. “Captain Raya… Sounds powerful.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0rdpE72qs
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGPvlHXDjN
“You talk too much,” she said, turning to walk away.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UN270fOMK
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0pY9u1EqY
But Dereck called after her with a grin. “I could stay quiet… if you promise to stay around.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPpSkVIXKs
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjDyCEm9ST
She paused, didn’t look back, but he swore he saw her smirk before disappearing into the trees.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFVIjGuqSY
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWN9TLUSga
Dereck stood there, smiling to himself.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgjSPEQVXI
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspFPedlY1D
He came here to escape his past… but maybe fate had led him to something far more dangerous—and beautiful.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbOCDtSpHE
