Both Hongjoong and Seonghwa were in Seonghwa's office, they were sitting facing each other.

"How's your room? Is it comfortable?" Seonghwa asked.

"Ah! Yes. Thank you sir. Actually i wanted to ask you about my job here. What should i do exactly?"

"In fact, it's not much different from what you used to do, except that you have more security and a better salary."

"I see...but my camera-"

"Wait a second."

He got up and walked to his desk, took a leather bag from the drawer and handed it to him.

"What's this?" Hongjoong took the bag from him and looked inside.

Seonghwa sat on his chair with his legs crossed, patienly waiting for his reaction.

"A LEICA?! oh...it's...it looks so...so beautiful! and expensive!" He stuttered.

"I thought that carrying press cameras would be hard in that situation, though many people use it so i-"

Hongjoong looked at him with wide open eyes: "These are hard to find nowadays! the shipping must cost you more than the camera! You shouldn't have bothered yourself this much..."

Hongjoong packed the camera carefully and returned it to Seonghwa.
"Sorry but i can't accept this. I don't have the money to repair it If it breaks like my previous camera."

"If that happens i deduct from your salary. Don't worry about that."

"Still-"

"Take it, please. Anyways i don't have the time for ordering something else again."

Hongjoong got up and bowed in front of him.
"Thank you sir, I'll use it well."

Suddenly the door opened and San walked in.

"How is my-" he cheerfully asked but he paused mid sentence as he noticed Seonghwa's guest.

They saluted.

Seonghwa introduced them to each other.
"This is Major Choi San from Unit-1."
He turned to San: "and this Kim Hongjoong. The photographer i talked about."

"Nice to meet you sir." Hongjoong bowed politely.

San bowed his head.
"We've never had a photographer here. You must be a good one, right?"

"Well.."

"You may leave Mr. Kim." Seonghwa said.

"Ah...yes sir. Thank you again." He bowed again then left the room.
