Jin woke up in the morning and sat on his bed. He yawns. He moves his body to plant his legs on the ground when a pair of arms grabs his waist.

Jin : Lia. You're awake ?

" No... " She climbs over to his lap and lays her head onto his lap " mmm... "

Jin : you weren't this lazy .

Lianari: I'm not a soldier anymore. I'm just jin's wife .

Jin cold laughed " but I am. "

Lianari: they'll take care of it. Nothing will happen even if you don't go back for one day.

Jin strokes her hair " you have something else you want to do ?"

Lianari: sleep.

Jin : little sleeping bug.

Lianari : I need to go confront someone today... I need all the sleep I can get...

Jin ; to conserve energy ?

She nodded.

Jin : you just scared him yesterday and you're this tired ? I heard you once interrogated for 2 nights and you didn't feel tired. Went on to the battlefield the next day.

" Hmph. Don't want talk to you. " She shifts her head away from his lap.

Jin : alright. Sleep tight. Today is the review of the army's practice. I can't miss it.

Lianari: bring me back snacks !

Jin : got it.

Lianari knocks on the reception's table. She looked to the box B1. The case was no longer there.

" Yes ? "

Lianari: I'm looking for your manager about my case.

After a while the manager comes out " please follow me. "

So lianari followed the manager into the lift. The lift went up to the most top floor . The door opens and the manager leads the way to the suite. " I'll be leading till here."

Lianari looks to the door , presses the handle down and enters . There sat a woman on the couch .

Lianari approaches and takes a seat on the opposite side. " You're..."

" Don't make assumptions. You're as it sayS. Careful . I guess it comes as a habit of an interrogator ? Don't trust assumptions. Trust what people say. "

Lianari: no. Don't trust that either. Always verify.

The woman nodded.

Lianari: and you are...

" Few people get the chance to meet me. I'm the boss of Red Secret. "

Lianari: you want to meet me. Couldn't be just to tell me you want to reject my request?

" How did you know I was going to reject it ?"

Lianari: I don't. I guessed. But if you were to accept my request, I wouldn't need to see you. An invitation will do right ?

" Indeed. "

Lianari: there must be something more...

" I set up a trial for you. I didn't think you would actually pass it. "

Lianari: that's not being honest.

" Why would you say so?"

Lianari: it's nothing as serious as getting me killed . So there's many ways around it.

" You see , a lot of people don't want you to be part of this club. But I understand why you want to join. I had to put on a show and at the same time see what you're capable of. "

Lianari: did you like the show ?

" It was not bad. But I can't accept you. "

Lianari: why ?

" I've made a deal with someone to do so. You've passed my trial. It would be against my rules not to accept you. So instead, I'll give you a gift. How about that ?"

Lianari: what gift ?

The Red Secret boss gives her a piece of paper " I promise this is a gift you like. "
