Yellow leaves danced through the main entrance of the Eastgate when the metal bars raised upward.
Birds' chants and machinery filled the air as the Ghost Squad's cargo truck rolled into the checkpoint and began moving on the main street of the Agatha Special Forces.
Soldiers straightened their shoulders and necks, then saluted the passing vehicle.
Inside the vehicle, Kim sat in the driver's seat with her eyes locked on the road ahead. She caught every saluting soldier and gave them a side smile.
Beside her, Eun-woo's right arm moved rhythmically up and down, like a king basking in the adoration of his subjects. "I never imagined I would also have this privilege to be saluted at."
He turned a joyous gaze at Kim but frowned when he saw her sidelong look. "What? Can't I acknowledge these salutes and make them feel proud?"
Kim sighed, then shook her head.
