Jan Dae's POV

Ever since we discovered our gold bars in Beom Seok's inn, I've decided to remove him from the army. It was settled after a few days since the evidences found fell together in place. I sighed. I don't need someone whom I can't trust. And especially someone that's too greedy.

So I am currently in my room right now enjoying serenity for an hour. Just an hour.

I started sipping the tea I prepared for myself.

"This is good" Nothing but good tea to ease your str.....

"JAN DAE!! COME OUT!!" I heard someone shouting from outside my room. Aish. Why couldn't this person just leave? I went outside to face the intruder.

"What do you want?"

"Please don't do this to me master Jan Dae...I'm begging you please. Please return me to the army" Beom Seok kneeled as he begged. Tss. You should've known the consequences of your actions.

"If I haven't caught the gold bar sitting somewhere in your room, will you be honest?"

Silence.

"If I kept the evidence as a secret, will you confess your crime?"

Silence.

Ugh. Pabo. I'm just waisting my time here.

"See. You'll only be honest once you're caught off guard", I kneeled down to face him as I held his chin up, "I don't need someone like you in my army" I said as I stood up.

"So if you will excuse me, I have some tea to finish" I was about to leave until....

"I'll get back at you" I turned and looked back at him. Is he threatening me?

"Is that a threat? Because if it is, I'm not threatened" I said back. I am currently fighting the urge to punch his ugly face, "Take him away" I said to the guards.

"I'LL GET BACK AT YOU JAN DAE YOU'LL SEE— GET OFF ME— I'LL GET BACK AT YOU" 

Right. Before you even had the slightest chance of getting back at me, I'll make sure to get rid of you first.

Before I went inside, I made sure that the other guards escorted that thief out of my sight. Which they successfully did.

After finishing my tea, I went to the battle grounds to train myself and to let ny stress out. I was getting my training gear and equipments until I saw someone familiar...

"Shi Kyung-ah! What are you doing here?" I asked her.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to tra....wait, why am I explaining myself to you?"

"Uhm...because I asked?"

"No I mean, we're both soldiers right? I think it's alright if we both use the training grounds" I explained. Shi Kyung just looked at me.

"Oh yeah right. Anyway, I was just here. You?"

"I'm going to practice my archery and sword skills"
