Nearly at midnight, one of Si-jin's military friends drove him back to army base. He opened the door and got out from the truck. He was nicely dressed, wearing his dress uniform.

"Dan-gyeol." The soldier saluted Si-jin.

Si-jin just smiled.

"Thanks. See you tomorrow." Si-jin spoke.

"Yes, sir." The soldier firmly spoke.

Si-jin closed the truck's door and it left him alone standing in front of the army building. He entered in the kitchen; maybe looking for a drink.

He opened the lower cabinet, next to the sink.

"Stick your hand inside the cabinet in the kitchen. You failed to get promoted, and your salary is reduced. It seemed like you would want to have a drink." Si-jin spoke to himself.

He found a bottle of red wine but he knew that he couldn't drink as a dispatched troop. Suddenly, Mo-yeon came in the kitchen, wearing a three-quarter sleeved, white lapel shirt and long black pants. They looked at each other, but Mo-yeon felt that she might walk away from him, because all of the commotion she made in the afternoon. She argued with Beong-su for punishing him. She remembered exactly what Chi-yun told Beong-su during their argument before she walks away from him with her and Si-jin.

"Fine. I'm not trying to cross the line here. But you're through." Chi-yun's voice echoed in her mind which gave her chills a little.

Mo-yeon might be afraid to see Chi-yun's violent attitude, but she realizes that she's defending the right way they did that night.

She was about to walk away, however...

"What is it?" Si-jin sofly asked, not letting her walk away from him.

"I wanted some water." Mo-yeon spoke.

"Why are you leaving? You should have some." Si-jin asked.

Mo-yeon might not feel like it.

"It looked like you wanted to be alone." Mo-yeon spoke.

"No. I want to be with you. I thought I made myself clear. Don't go and come. Come over here." Si-jin spoke.

Mo-yeon deeply sighed and she walked towards Si-jin. She leaned against the kitchen counter. She saw a bottle of red wine Si-jin was holding.

"Do you want some wine instead of water?" Si-jin asked her.

He handed the wine to Mo-yeon, to find a glass to fill. However, she drank straight from the bottle. Si-jin was bemused of seeing drinking wine on a bottle. She looked at him and offered him a drink.

"Dispatched troops are not allowed to drink." He spoke.

"Didn't you take it out to drink?" She asked.

"I was going to do that, but it all went down the drain because of a witness." Si-jin joked.

Mo-yeon giggled.

"I am sorry for acting rashly." Mo-yeon apologized.

"I was going to apologize. Let's just say I apologized." Si-jin tried to make it up.

"But you didn't." Mo-yeon seriously joked.

Si-jin felt a bit upset of hearing Mo-yeon that he didn't apologize. Mo-yeon laughed a little of his soft glare like she told him serious.

"Don't be scared. Was I too rash again?" Mo-yeon chuckled.

Si-jin grinned that he didn't know she could joke around him.
