Rewriting the Fate of Mr.Kim~
Fortifying Foundations~⁵
•• Location - Command Tent ••
The crisp scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as Taehyung sat at the head of the planning table, surrounded by maps, blueprints, and operational reports.
Jimin was sprawled on a nearby chair, lazily tossing a pencil between his fingers, while Yoongi leaned against the wall, sipping his coffee, his gaze sharp.
Kim Taehyung
"We need an immediate assessment of the equipment in storage. If we're going to petition for upgrades, I want a full inventory."
Kim Taehyung
"Jimin I want proper details of every piece of equipment written."
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
(yawn) "You mean you want me to handle it?"
Kim Taehyung
"You're resourceful. Consider it an honor."
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
"Right. Because digging through dusty storage rooms screams 'honour'."
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
(smirk) "At least you're good at paperwork, Jimin-ah. Better you than me."
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
(glaring) "Why don't you do something for once, hyung?"
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
"I'm doing something. I'm drinking coffee and supervising."
Kim Taehyung
(interrupt) "Enough. Focus!"
Kim Taehyung
"Yoongi, I want every recruit assigned to practical tasks alongside their training."
Yoongi, leaning lazily against a chair, raised an eyebrow.
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
"You're making me work harder than them, Captain."
Kim Taehyung
(Sternly) "If you have energy to complain, you have energy to lead."
The room fell silent as the officer's exchange glances, suppressing smiles at the exchange.
•• Location - Equipment Storage ••
Jimin and Yoongi stood in the middle of a cluttered storage room, observing the inventory of equipment.
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
(Grumbling) "Why do I always end up with boring tasks?"
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
(Shrug) "You're good at them. Perfectionist tendencies and all."
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
"It's called efficiency. You should try it sometime."
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
"You know if you were a girl, I'd marry you. You're exactly what I need to keep my life in order."
Jimin froze, then scoffed.
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
"Hyung, if that's your way of proposing, it's terrible. And for your information, I'd make you my wife. No way I'd let you be as lazy as my husband."
Yoongi chuckled, leaning back against a shelf.
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
"Fair enough. But be warned -- I can't cook."
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
(Scoffs) "You know, you'd even make a terrible as wife. You can't even cook."
Min Yoongi (commanding officer)
"True. But I'd be great at ordering takeout."
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
(laughed) "Very well."
Their laughter echoed through the room, easing the tension of the day's workload.
• Location - Administrative office •
Taehyung walked purposefully through the corridors of the administrative building, his boots clicking against the polished floor. A stack of documents rested in his hand, detailing the upgrades he planned for the base with the help of everyone.
Inside the office, several senior officers sat around a large table, discussing various matters.
Someone
Officer 1: "Captain Kim, to what do we owe this visit?"
Kim Taehyung
"I have a proposal for improving our training grounds and securing better equipment for the recruits. it's imperative if we want to maintain our standing."
He placed the documents on the table, flipping them open.
Someone
Officer 2: "Ambitious, as always. But funding has been tight lately."
Kim Taehyung
"This isn't about ambition --- it's necessity. If we fall behind now, we can make for it later. I've outlined cost-effective methods and even partnerships we can consider."
The officers exchanged glances, impressive by his thorough planning.
Someone
Officer 1: "We'll review this and get back to you by the week's end."
Kim Taehyung
(Nods) "Understood. But I'd advise urgency."
With a curt bow, he left the room, his expression unreadable but determined.
•• Time - Late Afternoon ••
•• Location - Training Ground ••
Taehyung stood at the center of the training grounds, his piercing gaze sweeping over the line of new recruits. They shuffled nervously under his scrutiny, some whispering among themselves.
Kim Taehyung
(Sharply) "Quiet!"
The recruits snapped to attention, silence falling over the ground.
Kim Taehyung
"You're here because you think you have what it takes to serve. But let me be clear -- this is not a place for the weak."
He began pacing in front of them, his voice cold and commanding.
Kim Taehyung
"Discipline, strength, and focus. Without these, you're a liability. And liabilities don't survive here."
He stopped abruptly, turning to a recruit who was fidgeting.
Kim Taehyung
"You. Step forward."
The recruit hesitated before stepping out of line.
Lee Min-ho
"Lee Min ho, sir."
Kim Taehyung
"Why are you here, Lee Min ho?."
Lee Min-ho
"To serve and protect, sir."
Kim Taehyung
"Wrong answer. You're here because you think you're ready. Let's see if that's true. Spar with me."
Min ho's eyes widened, but he nodded, steeping into the sparring ring.
The other recruits watched in silence as Taehyung dismantled Min ho's every move with precision, his movements fluid and calculated.
Kim Taehyung
(After pinning Min ho to the ground) "You're sloppy. Weak footing, predictable strikes. Work on it. Or you'll never last."
He straightened, addressing the rest of the group.
Kim Taehyung
"This is the standard. If you can't meet it, leave now."
None of the recruits moved, their determination shining through.
Kim Taehyung
(Nods) "Good. Now get to Work."
As they disappeared to begin their training, Taehyung observed from the sidelines, his expression softening slightly.
Kim Taehyung
💭 They remind me of someone... Eager, determined, and unpolished. Jungkook wasn't much different when he started.
•• Location - Taehyung's Office ••
Taehyung sat alone in his dimly lit office, reviewing progress reports. The day's events were replaced in his mind -- the recruits' determination, the officers' teamwork, and his own relentless drive.
He leaned back, closing his eyes briefly. A memory surfaced, unbidden: Jungkook's face, younger and carefree, from years ago.
Kim Taehyung
💭 Why does it always come back to you?
Shaking off the thought, he refocused on the reports. His hand paused over a requesting form for advanced weaponry.
Kim Taehyung
(mutter) "This base needs more than just upgrades. It needs to be ready for anything."
A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts.
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
(Enter) "Taehyung, you're still working? You should rest. Tomorrow's schedule is packed."
Kim Taehyung
"I'll rest when I'm done with reading base details."
Jimin sighed, placing a mug of coffee on the desk.
Park Jimin (Second Lieutenant)
"At least drink this. Yoongi and I can handle tomorrow's logistics."
Taehyung nodded, his expression softening slightly.
After a little more time, accompanying Taehyung to work. Jimin left as sleep was kicking him to get in bed.
Kim Taehyung
💭 My handwork for base upgrade can only make you live safely.
Kim Taehyung
💭 The upgrades, the training... Everything's ahead of schedule. But why does it feel like I'm running out of time?
