Arya bade goodbye to Chamiyu at the door

Arya bade goodbye to Chamiyu at the door. Chamiyu insisted on further help but Arya didn't want to engage him further in his people's festival night.

Before Chamiyu left, Arya called Jin,
"Hey, come inside."

Jin followed her like the most obedient person ever.
Arya indicated to him towards the kitchen chair, "Sit."

Chamiyu suddenly butted in, "Can I ask one thing, Bunita?"

"Yes?"

"Where did you get that watch?"

Arya looked at the watch. It was that worn-out watch she found in her box which was allegedly belonged to Jin.

"Why?"

"Nothing, never mind." Chamiyu was about to leave.

"Wait, tell me what is it?"

"It was..." Chamiyu hesitated.

"I got it from Jin," Arya said.

Chamiyu seemed a bit relaxed, "Oh, I thought so too."

"Why?"

"Its...It's Mr. Kim's. Master Kim's father's watch."

Arya was surprised.

"His father's?"

"Yes, didn't he tell you?" Chamiyu looked at her curiously, "he took just this only thing from here before he left when he was little."

"I see." Arya was deep in her thought.

"I'll take my leave now." Chamiyu bowed and Arya nodded.

After he left, Arya came inside and told Jin, "Sit down."

Jin sat without any resistance.

"You want some water?"

Jin nodded.

Who would say, this man was already dead drunk?

His face or his behavior didn't reveal anything. He was sitting there like a normal person. His voice was also stable.
The only odd thing was the absence of any kind of resistance in him.

Arya got him a glass of water and put it down in front of him, "drink up."

Jin just looked at the glass. No signs of grabbing it.

"Aren't you thirsty?" Arya asked.

Jin nodded.

"Then why are you not drinking?"

Jin remained silent.

"Take it." Arya pushed the glass a little closer to him.

But still, Jin didn't take it.

Arya sighed in frustration, "you want me to help you?"

Jin's face was indifferent but he nodded a little.
