"Really? Can we do that? I am really interested!" Leena exclaimed. She had only been in the base once when she had come with Daisy. She was happy that she got the chance to look more closely at the place where her husband worked.
"Of course, it's just a visit. It's no big deal. We can totally do it." Lee looked at her in confusion and thought, 'Why is she so excited all of a sudden? Doesn't she know that she can visit the army base as the wife of the Major General?'
"Great. But what about my car?" Leena asked, looking at her car. She couldn't leave it outside the army base.
"We can park it in the parking lot of the army base. Let me. You are not familiar with the place," Lee said as he opened the car door, and got into it before Leena could even reply. Ever since Major General got married to Leena, Lee had been lucky enough to drive some expensive cars which he had never even seen before. He was pretty much used to it now.
Leena quickly got in the car too. She didn't know if it was the right thing to do by showing up at the army base, but she couldn't care less. After the lunch with Tom and Patricia, she had been feeling extremely low. She didn't blame Patricia at all, because she had a point. She knew that her best friend had no intention to hurt her whatsover. But still, it had hit her hard when she had realized that she couldn't be close to her brothers anymore, because she didn't want to cause any disputes between the couples. She wanted to see Kevin badly and be comforted by him.
As they drove into the army base, Leena heard the loud and strong calls of the soldiers. And it made her feel warm. She felt closer to Kevin, and she was happy to know more about his work life.
They parked the car and started walking around the base. Walking beside Lee, who was closer to Kevin than anyone here, Leena felt that she was being watched by everyone. They immediately realized who she was. She heard greetings from all around her, shouting, "Mrs. Gu."
Leena was startled, because she had never heard anyone call out her name so loudly. A cute blush appeared on her face. She nodded at them with a sweet smile. She was happy to be welcomed so enthusiastically by them.
Maybe it was because Leena was a beautiful girl with a nice personality, the soldiers watched her with admiring eyes. But it was mostly out of respect, as she was their Major General's wife. They would never dare hit on Leena, no matter how pretty she was. "Looks like you are already popular, Leena," said Lee.
