It had been a month since Lieutenant Lee's death and they had been alone, doing a mission in a rural area without any commander as Woo Bin was left to rest at the main base. Now, everyone was doing their own task, some were in the raiding team and some were in the search party while the leftovers were taking care of their base. Min Ha was on the search party as her shooting skill was still inadequate.
The search party was walking back to their base with Hee Rak who couldn't stop complaining about everything. Min Ha was too busy tending to the new wound on her palm. She got it when she was searching for things and accidentally cut herself without her knowing. It was quite big. "That's enough. You guys are always grumpy. Let's discuss it at home." Yoo Jung said to others and Hee Rak's voice had become higher than before. This guy couldn't shut his mouth even for a second, could he? "Ah, if you don't shut up now Hee Rak, I swear I will kill you and bury your body on this field here. You heard me, bastard?" Hee Rak glared at Min Ha for a few seconds before he said, "You want to kill me? You can't even shoot properly, dumbass." Min Ha clicked her tongue and was about to run at him and just kill that guy right there but she was held by Chi Yeol. Along the way back home, he kept on stopping her from committing murder.

Recording #7 - Cho Min Ha
[In their base]
It's not that I can't shoot. It's just that I don't want to shoot because I want the others to do their task too. I'm pretty sure if I'm on the raid team, we will already finish our mission but as you know, I was kind enough to let the others shine with their shooting skill so I just chilled with the search team. Yah, Kim Chi Yeol, are you laughing? (Standing up and walking toward Chi Yeol, Chi Yeol's screams could be heard behind the camera).
Recording ended.

They had arrived at the base and Deok Joong kept on asking everyone if they got the clam chowder can as they promised. Min Ha who was too tired to entertain him grabbed one of the can foods they got that day and shoved it in his mouth. He was happy at first, thinking that might be the mighty clam chowder but he yelled at her as he noticed that it was just another canned tuna.
She was walking to one of the chairs and was about to have a short nap when she heard two horrible ducks voice singing a very terrible song. She looked to her left and saw two idiots, Tae Man, and Il Ha, singing their asses off while Il Ha playing the guitar. She grabbed the closest thing near her, Joon Hee's math textbook, and threw it at Tae Man, which hit his head. She went back to sleep but once again was disturbed by the two dumbasses who were talking so loudly. She swore that she would kill both of them in their sleep after this.
——————————————————————————
It was Min Ha's turn to get the food. She lifted her hand to receive the food from Jang Soo when he noticed the wound on her palm. "Did you get hurt?" She just realized she had used her wounded hand so she quickly hid it and opened up her other palm. "It's fine. Just a small wound." She tried to avoid Jang Soo's hard gaze. "Min Ha—" Before he could say anything else, Min Ha cut him off. "Jang Soo, can I get the food now? I'm really hungry today." After a few seconds, Jang Soo sighed and gently put the can on top of her fine palm. She whispered a small thanks before she walked to Ae Sol. "Here, Ae Sol. You can cook mine and share it with others." She smiled at her before she walked away, searching for the bandage to cover her wound.
She was rummaging through the medicine shelf when she heard someone behind her. She turned around and saw Yeon Joo grabbing a bandage from the desk before walking toward her. She took Min Ha's wounded palm and inspected it. "If Jang Soo didn't tell me, how long are you going to hide your wound?" Yeon Joo asked Min Ha as she pouted at Yeon Joo. "Please don't be mad, Yeon Joo. I was going to ask you to wrap it after I found the bandage but you beat me to it. Don't be mad, okay?" She tried to act cute in front of Yeon Joo but Yeon Joo ignored her. "Next time, tell me if you hurt, okay?" Min Ha nodded. "Let's go. Yoo Jung has been searching for you." After Yeon Joo finished wrapping up Min Ha's wounded palm, they both then walked toward where the others were standing, in front of Lieutenant Lee and Ms. Park's pictures.

After they had done with their prayer, they all had dinner except for Min Ha who was sitting outside, waiting for their daily voting for that night. Since Lieutenant Lee's death, she had lost her appetite and only ate when she felt really hungry. She sat there looking at the night sky as in that area, there were not that many spheres. The night somehow was full of stars and it made Min Ha feel irritated. How could the stars shine brightly at night like this when they were in a horrible situation down here? It's unfair.
"You skip dinner, again." Jang Soo sat beside her and gave her a chocolate bar (he had kept it hidden just for when Min Ha skipped her meal). Min Ha took the bar and started to eat it. They sat there in silence. No one dared to speak at that moment. "Jang Soo." Min Ha called him. He turned her head toward her, waiting for her next words.
"Do you really like me?" Jang Soo nodded without hesitation. Min Ha sighed before she said, "Don't you see any difference in me? Like how I behaved before and now? Can you differentiate it?" Jang Soo once again nodded. "I can see the difference. How you act before was totally different from now but even if you are different, you are still Cho Min Ha. Nothing can change you for that." Min Ha turned her head away from him. "Even if somehow I'm from the other universe?" Jang Soo smiled at her. "I don't know another Jang Soo from other universes but I know one thing about Jo Jang Soo in this world. Even if there are other versions of Cho Min Ha, from other universes, it will never stop me from liking her."
Min Ha could feel her tears flowing down her cheeks. Jang Soo turned her head toward him and wiped the tears. It was the first time she felt something like this. She just want to hug him and told him she felt the same but she couldn't do anything with her feeling. She felt scared that something might happen and it would break both of their hearts. She couldn't risk it. She pulled away and stood up. "Let's go. We need to vote." And with that, she walked away, leaving Jang Soo behind her.
——————————————————————————
They gathered around and started their daily voting. Now, all of them were waiting for the results when finally it was the last vote. Yoo Jung showed the paper to everyone, and it was an 'O'. Hee Rak was screaming at that point, complaining to others that had voted to stay there. Yoo Jung tried to calm him down but it was pointless as Hee Rak ignore her and kept on complaining.
Then it leads to an argument between them. It was too noisy for Min Ha that she just walked away from there to her bed. She better slept than heard all those screaming and she wanted to forget the things that happened between her and Jang Soo. She needed an off day from all this shit.

Letter to myself,
Dear me,
We have survived but at what cost if every day I heard that motherfucking Hee Rak whining and complaining about every single thing. It's annoying and tiresome for me. I wonder, doesn't he feel tired of always acting like that? Whatever. If he does the same thing tomorrow, I will just shut his mouth using tape.
Sincerely,
Cho Min Ha
P.S. I don't know what to do with Jo Jang Soo. What should I do?
