"Sure!" answered Leena obediently. Then she lowered her head and started her dishes elegantly. Lee felt sowhat embarrassed at the sight of her refined manner of dining. Lee thought he looked like an ill-mannered hungry beggar compared to her. But well, never mind. The main priority was to get so food in him. They still had a long day ahead.
Half an hour later, they started their trip again after they finished their al and got so rest. They had stayed in the service area for about one hour in total.
Still the sa, Leena sat silently and watched the outside fly by. A long trip was always boring when they were squeezed into a small space. Now Kevin was driving. He took the turns with the steering wheel. They switched back and forth during the whole long journey. If soone drove too long, he might get too complacent, or tired.
"So, Lee, where are you from?" Leena was still a young girl brimming over with curiosity. So she found so random topic when she was extrely bored. This was sothing she knew nothing about. Hopefully he'd have sothing interesting to say.
"You probably wouldn't know it even if I told you the na. It's a rural area way out in the boonies." Lee was not happy when he talked about his hotown. Maybe if he weren't in the army, he would be farming the land in the cold winter wind now! Well, well, yes, there was his old and shabby ho. How long would it stand? Everywhere in the village was held together with mud and love. The people were poor and the place was rundown. Lee felt frustrated.
"Sorry, Lee. Did I ask you sothing offensive? I didn't an to." Leena felt sorry when Lee's tone shifted from bright to depressed. She turned to Kevin, expecting he would free her of this embarrassing situation. Unfortunately, Kevin was busy driving. So he did not notice her desperate expression.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just a little hosick and your question brought about those feelings. You reminded of my family," Lee replied with an honest smile on the face. He was from a poor family. So he valued this chance a lot and would always do his best at work. That was also the reason he rarely went back ho these days even though sotis he missed h
and laughter made the ti go by faster.
"Oh, really? What about you? Have you ever been punished?" Leena grew more interested and kept asking. She was still a young woman after all and it was inevitable that she was curious about everything she hadn't heard much about.
"Of course I have! There is no exception in the military. What's more, I was punished by Major General even more severely than others," answered Lee excitedly. Lee was in good spirits as Leena asked him about various things in the army. He answered her questions as best as he could, and sotis even told stories about Kevin, forgetting that the "evil man" sat right beside him. What a brave guy!
"Lee, are you going to tell her how many tis I go to the restroom? Hm?" Kevin tried to derail the conversation when he noticed he was the topic, and he didn't want Leena to know everything. He might have so explaining to do if Leena caught wind of this or that.
"Hey, don't interrupt. Please focus on driving!" Leena warned Kevin and then turned to Lee. "Lee, keep going. Don't mind him." She was in high spirits now and didn't want Kevin to interrupt Lee. She was curious about life in the military, or to be more specific, Kevin's life in the army base, because Kevin rarely stayed at ho and she did not have many chances to know more about him. Now there was soone doing her this favor and telling her everything she was interested in, so she would never let this chance slip away.
