Today seems to be quite a gloomy day, hi am jin-hun Yun son of jin-min Yun and Ha-rin Yun , my life is simple, but I can't qunch my taste for more, I want an interesting life, well people will be happy to have my kind of life so I should just be satisfied with what I have, my elder brother jin-woo became a doctor I guess I might do same .... No no no it's too boring for me, wait am almost eighteen I can get drafted into the military that should be interesting, all I have to do is speak to my dad since he has experience in that type of stuff
Later that night at the dinner table
"Dad I have decided that when I graduate next month I want to get drafted into the military I think am old enough for it am eighteen after all " I said nonchalantly
My parents paused their conversation and had their attention on me. My father replied "Son it's compulsory in this country but you don't have to rush it give it time" , " Sorry dad let me rephrase my statement I want to become a soldier and I want to start early" I replied with seriousness, I could see the shock on my mom and dad's faces
"Son you sure about this" my father asked as he placed his spoon on the table, I replied with a loud "yes father", "honey do you have an opinion on what your son just said he says he wants to be a soldier" my dad asked as he faced my mom, she replied
"He as always been a good son with a little more maturity for his age but I don't think his old enough for the military but I will understand if you think otherwise". " I will think about it, now finish your food before it gets cold" my father said as he picked up his spoon.
I finished my food, assisted with the dishes before going to my room, I didn't sleep just yet, I play some online games with my best friend Minho, chatted with some of my friends before going to sleep.
LATER ON
My dad had worked out everything and told my brother what I said when he came to visit.Things went smoothly maybe because my dad works as a government official well after my graduation came, we held a little party after school, the party was also my send off party cause I was leaving in two weeks time, a lot of friends seem to have been invited but I wasn't interested in all that after the party I met with my close friend minho we spoke for a while before we said our heart felt goodbyes. I went back to my room, played a few games on my PC cause I knew wouldn't be able to do that there , well I just did casual things till the day came for me to go.
"Honey come and greet your son farewell" my dad shouted out to my mom as he stood beside the opened car "I'm coming I'm coming" my mom replied as with a face certainly not filled with joy of my departure.
As soon as mom give an heart felt farewell, we entered back into the car and started our journey later on my dad began to give me advices about how to not just survive in the military but in moving up the ranks my father may seem like a harsh person but his really a kind hearted man deep down who loves his family.
On arrival at the barracks I could see a set of new recruits as my dad goes into the office and fill in some documents I was taken to join the assembly with other new recruits, the drill Sergeant gave a heartfelt speech about how we should serve our country with our pride and about how we should serve our country with all our hearts as it's our motherland before giving some basic exercises.
My dad came back after filling in the documents and gave his goodbyes.
Later on I was given a tour around the barrack after that I was taken to my camp, well I got to say there a lot more people than I imagined, I was given my uniform and my bed number which was one hundred and seventy two due to how tiring the day was I went straight for my be.
Since it was a bunk bed I was supposed to choose if I was going to sleep up or down which was a easy decision for me I will normally choose up but it seems like my bed partner already chose up and wants me to sleep down due to my ego I can't let that slide, why would I sleep down , you go down I said angrily oh you're a feisty guy I see I was here first so I'll stay here, you stay down he replied feisty you dare refer me as feisty according to my number I'm the one who is supposed to stay up I don't have strength to argue with you just sleep down or do you want to get a beating the idiot replied like he was gonna fight me Hey it's okay you don't have to fight over a bed a new guy came into our argument why don't you guys sort this over with a game or something just saying because if you guys fight on your very first day you guys will be getting real hard punishment he added (in thought: thats true having a fight on your very first day is bad and I could get a serious punishment) fine I agree let's say to this over again of rock paper scissors what do you say punk face I said okay then let's start he replied with passionate in his eyes, ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS and it Seems are like I lost to punk face.
Hey what's your name" I asked the guy stopped our argument, me? Oh am Dae-seong Wang he replied with a weird ass smile on his face.
Wait your grandfather is dae-Jung Wang right? I asked, yes it seems you know of me no I don't know you I know your grandfather I replied , punk face laughed then introduce himself as Ho - Gu, well am ji-hun Yun I said, well it looks like a lot of time have passed we should get to bed I think they'll be waking us really early Dae-seong said, yeah you're right we should probably get to bed anyways nice to meet you both. I arranged my bed and layed down (in thought: I just the beginning of my life am just getting started)
