It had been a few weeks since they had won the bid, they were so happy with the achievement, the company had reached a new level but they were also tired because they were hiring more and more people. Because the company is growing, the work has become increasingly heavy.

Dalmi and the core team were discussing one of the company's biggest decisions, moving to a bigger place:

"We are already renting a lot of rooms here and elsewhere, we already have enough money to build a new place, what do you think? Well, we're going to have some debts and that's right, but we can pay it in the long term, the demand for our work is very high, this separation is not benefiting us so I think it's also better for us to take action soon" She says. 

Soon everyone agrees and also other things are decided. Dosan had the intention of staying longer and taking on some things in Dalmi's place, he noticed that she had lost weight these days:

"Dalmi, you are very tired, please go home soon" He says

"Oh, Dosan, ah... " She says snorting  "yes yes, I'll be right away, I still have so much work tomorrow".

"Today I take care of these papers for you, don't worry" He says taking her hand.

"What can I do for her? She's putting up with a lot on her own."

She smiles and says goodbye to everyone. Arriving home her mother says:

"Daughter you are so tired, better take care of your health"

"You have to eat well, otherwise how can you work?" speaks the grandmother, with an imperative tone.

Soon Dalmi changes to sleep. In the living room, Dalmi's mother receives a phone call.

"Omoni, hello, it's Dosan. I want to ask you a big favor." He speaks nervously. We're having a lot of work but I managed to get Dalmi a break. I want to take her to Jeju tomorrow. However, I need her help, turning off the alarms in her room and turning off her cell phone to let her rest." In the afternoon we will travel" He says

"Yes, I will do as you asked me, she will be very surprised" Mother says smiling. 

It was almost 9 o'clock in the morning when Dalmi wakes up, surprised by the sun is already shining so much because it's already so light early, she looks to the side of the nightstand trying to see the clock and there isn't, picks up her cell phone "why is it turned off?"She turns on her cell phone and calls Dosan:

"Good morning Dosan, I woke up late I'll be late" She says

"Good morning Don't worry, you have nothing for today. I'm actually here in front of your house" He was

"How is he here and not talking to me? I'm messed up, here it's a little messy. It's a good thing there's no one home."

"So, wait a bit and I'll get you" She says

Dalmi, still in her pajamas, gets dressed a little and invites him in

"Annyeong Dosan"

"Good morning Dalmi" He says, hugging her lightly.

"Oh, why are you carrying a backpack today? Why this casual outfit today?" Dalmi says

"Hmm.. Today we're going to a special place, get clothes for two days..." He says taking her hand. "Be calm, I just want you to rest, let's travel to rest!"

"Oh! Sure, sure" She says 

"What am I thinking because I'm so nervous?"  Dalmi thinks.
