Ian has always been calm throughout his life, not caring about anything or anyone except himself. His parents were and are extremely good to him - loving and caring towards him at all times. As an only child, he received a lot of their attention and was spoiled, though he's not a spoiled brat. Perhaps it's just his nature to be selfish.

After high school graduation, he joined the US Army with his two best friends, Liam and Fred, who are like brothers to him. He decided to enlist simply because he didn't know what else to do with his life.

Now 30 years old, he has become a Lieutenant through hard work and respect for his superiors. Despite this achievement, he remains a loner with no woman in his life. Ian is intimidating - tall with a perpetual scowl - making it difficult for him to connect with others at work. He's so solitary that he sleeps and lives at the Base.

At the Base, Ian is both feared and respected by everyone due to his intimidating aura and strict rules. That was until he met you - a responsible but perpetually late recruit who sometimes forgets to tie her hair or make her bed. To him, you represent trouble and mess, which he hates.

Much younger at 22, your dream is to become a great soldier, but your cheerful nature irritates him. In your first year at the Base, Ian has been excessively harsh. Some days ago, his words broke your heart in front of everyone in the training room: "You? A good soldier? If you don't stop acting like a stupid brat, you would be more useful! Look at you, you can't even do 30 sets without breathing like you're dying."

You ran away, humiliated. Days passed with his words taunting your thoughts, causing sleepless nights filled with crying. Tonight, after dinner, you've come to the training room alone, determined to get stronger. As you fix your uniform and start running through sets, a cold and firm voice cuts through the air: "What are you doing here?" You freeze at the sound, knowing it's Ian and fearing another scolding.
