Chapter 3

Please review it would really help me for what I did to still do. I spelled Jung Beom's name wrong in the first two chapters. Sorry about that.

We find some clothes to make a baby sling from and set her in it. Jung-Beom goes to sit outside while I find Dae-Hyun. I find him in a classroom looking down at the new student soldiers.

"Ahmhm." I cough.

"Bae Eun has anyone found out yet? With that girl on her back people will start to notice that you're not a boy. And how are you going to shoot? Or attack?" Dae Hyun asks with a frustrated face.

"What?! I just couldn't let her die on the bridge! When we are not doing anything I'll make a secret room in the walls and hide her there till the war is over. How can you suggest that I can shoot at people? I only helped the wounded get to the truck last time and I will help with wounds this time. Like Jang-Beom I can't take someone's life, even if they are North Korean."

I walk out of the classroom and down the stairs to the new recruits. I can feel people's gazes on me because of Mi Hana. Mi Hana shifts in her sleep as the gazes and glazes come at us.

I enter the tent as they pass out the ammo and guns to the newbies. They stair in awe at Mi Hana and me. I stand by oppa who is in the front and listen, "Men, from this point on, you are now all HDB troops. HDB troops are divided into two sets. The head commander will be Oh Jung Beom."

"Excuse me." A fat guy in the back says.

"What is it?" says Kang Seok-Dae.

"Why are you making him commander?" says the same guy.

"Do I hear an objection?" says Kang.

"Captain, how about a vote for the position?" says a guy with glasses.

"That's right. Let's act democratically." says a guy in the next row by the glasses kid.

"Let's do an eating contest!" another chubby guy in the back says. "If it's an eating contest, then I have confidence too."

"Be Quiet! Do you think this is a joke?" a higher up says.

"A commander should have combat experience. I'm sticking with oh Jung Beom. From now on, this place will be your position. Right now, we have three divisions committed in the Nakdong area." Kang says with finality.

A guy in the back raises his hand. From the way he looks, I wouldn't trust him at all.

"Are you saying you want us to defend this place?" he asks in a bad tone. "Just us?"

"That's right." says Kang.

"Is there any reason to defend Pohang?" asks the glasses guy again.

"Pohang is a minor strategic base." says Kang.

"Then why don't we abandon Pohang?"

"Even though this place is not as important, if the enemies get through Nakdong River, it's over. According to the information we already have, this place is relatively safe compared to the Nakdong area."

"Oh, how long do we have to defend this place?" questions the same guy next row over.

"The allied forces will arrive three weeks on Wednesday. Only until then." Kang replies.

"Let's not go. Can we just not go?" asks someone in the crowd.

"It's an order form the upper command. We… follow the orders we're given." Kang says patiently.

"Excuse me. If…if…the communists attack, what do we do?" questions a boy in the crowd.

"What do you mean? We can just kill them all!" a boy from behind him says.

As the boys fight over that they can't shoot a gun and run away, Mi Hana wakes up and almost starts to cry if I didn't have some bread to give her. Kang as a few more words and we disperse out of the tent getting ready to stay and the others to leave.
