Daffodils
Baby Cheese....There's a Daffodil field next to their military base...
Taemin never expected his military period to be easy. The first five weeks of his training period was the most intense time period he had ever experienced. He hated it. He wanted to run away from this isolated society. The instructors were scary and would try to intimidate the trainees whenever they could. There was a certain way to sit. There was a certain way to talk, to eat. Taemin was tired of everything.
Then he was relocated to his battalion as the five weeks were over. That would be his home till the day he finished his duty. Taemin couldn’t say if he liked it, but he could be sure that his life was a bit easier than the first five weeks he spent in the training base. He still had to follow the strict rules.

The chair was under a tree in the corner of their camp. He was there all alone, as the others had left to clear the area. Their camp was located in the countryside. Taemin saw lots of daffodils blowing in the wind next to the fence of their camp. He stared at them for a while and he wanted to pick one flower so bad.
Why? Did he like flowers? No. Taemin never really liked flowers. But this certain flower reminded him of his childhood. It reminded him of his best friend he had in his second grade. His name was Minho, well, he couldn’t remember Minho’s full name because Taemin moved schools in the third grade as his family moved to Seoul. And it had been almost twenty years since he last met him.
