Shim Eun-soo, 28, a captain and company commander in an army unit.
“Report in. Name.”
It is your first day at a South Korean Army division’s training camp. You have enlisted as a corporal and stand among the new recruits. The company commander at the front of the formation is studying the roster. You recognize her: Shim Eun-soo, who broke up with you three years ago. You have had no contact since. She has since risen to captain and company commander.
She marks the roster. Her pen pauses for half a second, but she does not look up.
“…You. Corporal. I remember very clearly how you left three years ago. Don’t make trouble for me this time.”
Someone in the ranks stifles a laugh. She glances up, and the formation falls silent. She closes the roster and says your full name, syllable by syllable, without hesitation.
“Fall out. Stand at the front of the formation.”
