It'll Come Naturally

Leena looked blankly at the soldiers who just fled. Then she turned to Kevin and wondered, 'Why did they all run away? Is Kevin really that terrifying?'

"Major General, would you like to choose your own dishes or shall I help you with it?" However, unlike the other soldiers, Lee remained calm upon seeing Kevin. Even his voice didn't show any trace of fear at all when he approached.

"Help me choose," said Kevin as he sat next to Leena. Feeling her staring at him made him look back at her too. He thought, 'I didn't expect her to get along that well with the soldiers.'

"Is there anything on my face?" Leena unwittingly touched the corner of her mouth. She felt her cheeks burned under Kevin's gaze. Thus, she silently thought, 'Do I have rice on my face or something?'

"No. You look great." The gentle smile that cracked Kevin's lips surprised all the soldiers who were still eating around them. Kevin had always been very strict with their training, thus, they were shocked to see him so gentle. He was like a different man when he was with Leena. The difference between how he treated the woman and them was just so evident that they could taste it in their food.

"They all seem to be afraid of you." Nevertheless, Leena seemed to be unaffected by all the attention when she looked at Kevin and sweetly smiled. The more she stayed in this place, the more she admired Kevin.

"And you? Why aren't you afraid of me?" joked Kevin while raising his eyebrows. He couldn't help but wonder about what happened to Leena today.

"Who told you that I'm not afraid of you? I'm always worried that you'll be angry," whispered Leena innocently. Little did Kevin know about the great pressure she was feeling whenever he was mad at her. It seemed that her fear of him unconsciously sprang from his career. He always looked so majestic, dignified, and intimidating.

"So are they. They're afraid whenever I'm angry too." In reality, Kevin was actually more approachable than Daisy. There had not been a soldier who dared to talk before the woman. The soldiers were so terrified of her that even just her mere stare could cause the soldiers to run out of breath.

"Kevin, don't you think they're cute?" The two talked quietly. Their voices were so low that only they could hear each other.

"That's your opinion. You wouldn't say that if you were with them every day." Most of the soldiers inside the army base were good looking indeed. However, Kevin couldn't even care less about that as all he was after was to make them progress in exchange for the efforts. They were in the middle of that conversation when Lee quickly came to their table and politely arranged the dishes for Kevin. He quietly left the couple without interrupting their conversation.

"Do you eat the same food every day?" Curiously, Leena looked at the dishes served to them and thought, 'His food seems to be similar to mine.'

"Of course not. Can you stand the same food every day?" Kevin said as he put some foods on her bowl. He was so used to serving Leena this way. Thus, for the second time around, almost all the soldiers surrounding them went silent in surprise. "No. I'm full." Leena puckered up her lovely lips and felt embarrassed while looking at the pile of food in her bowl.

"Eat more. You can't waste food inside the army base." Kevin said in a warning yet caring voice. He didn't even care about how his current actions were messing with the serious image he put up before the soldiers.

"But this is your food." Leena glared at him. 'Why does he keep asking me to eat? Does he think I'm too thin? I don't think he feels uncomfortable with my built whenever he touches me. So why on earth is he forcing me to eat?'

"I know but I want you to eat more." Kevin had no intention of showing off how sweet their relationship was. However, his sweetness towards his wife was more of a natural act that he just kept doing subconsciously.

"But I really don't want to eat." Leena looked at him with begging eyes. For a moment, she looked like a little child who was at the verge of crying. On the other hand, the nosy soldiers around them were still checking on them discreetly while wondering what Kevin would do next.

"Just eat more. Be good." As soon as Kevin finished speaking, everyone around them made a startling cry. They didn't expect their Major General to be so gentle, thus, they were all so shocked that they fell off their seats.

It was only after hearing the noises that Kevin seemed to recover himself. He gave everyone around them a quick glance and then in a stone cold voice ordered, "Five-kilometer cross-country race for everyone. Fully armed." What he said caused another series of surprised cries from the soldiers again. How could their superior change from one persona to another in just a nick of a second? How was that even possible!

On the further corner of the room, Lee, who was just silently sitting on one of the seats, twitched the corner of his mouth and thought, 'Ah! You all deserve it. Why did you guys stay here just to spy on the Major General anyway? You guys are already done with your dinner! Good luck to you all. May you guys survive the ten kilometers run in full combat gear you'll do tonight. Tsk! You guys are so screwed.'

"Umh... Kevin, do you still have a mission tonight?" Leena looked at Kevin's serious face doubtfully as she didn't get what he meant.

"What the Major General said is a punishment to the soldiers, Leena." It was Lee who answered her query. However, the poor soldier instantly received a warning glare from Kevin right after he explained. It was as if Kevin was telling him that he should have not said that. "Why? They didn't do anything wrong. Why would you punish them?" asked Leena in an even more confused tone. Her eyebrows were even knotting as she stared at the man. 'I just had a good time with them. I don't want them to be punished,' she thought. "Did you guys hear that? You all should thank my wife. I won't punish you today." Kevin let out a defeated sigh and then looked at Leena. This was how much he adored his wife. Regardless of how hard he was as a person, one word from Leena could make him melt.000000000000000
