  Gamamusa turned on the lights in the kitchen quietly. There was no one there, maybe because it was early in the morning, or maybe he's senior soldiers were just oversleeping and just pass the back to Gamamusa. One thing is for sure. Gamamusa was finally able to launch his operation. With a meaningful smile, he took out a box bearing the words 'October' from the refrigerator. Then he opened it. Inside, the kimchi, which had already matured, creating a bubbles. "… All right. Time to take the next step."

  Gamamusa slowly put the rice in a basin and washed it. In the meantime, he nudged his hand into his pocket to put the white powder back in. "Ha-am. Are you up?" he's senior corporal got up and asked Gamamusa. He quietly put the powder back in and smiled. "Of course. I slept well last night. I have two seniors who are dying because they couldn't get up, so at least I should get up to finish the job."

  Senior corporal laughed at the comment. "…Thats a good one, but don't say it in front of them. Your seniors could get angry." Gamamusa did not smile. His face was quite serious. "Recently, Corporal Kim Dae-hyun was playing with senior soldiers..Is he clouding the atmosphere by any chance? The senior corporal did not answer. Instead, he opened the lid on the side dishes that will goes in October. Gamamusa quietly watched he's senior pour the side dishes.

  ...

  Baek looked at Kim Dae-hyun, who was lying next to him while guarding the tower. Kim was sleeping quietly with his eyes shut. It was the same even if there was a CCTV in the tower. Baek quietly shook Kim's shoulder. "...Get out of here. If you don't want to get beat up." Kim said. Baek choked up at Kim's reaction. He thought for a moment whether to relieve his anger he had endured so far. He posed to hit with a gun, but soon sighed and put it down.

  "… Hey, asshole. Are you happy to live like that? Man?" Baek spat out, determined to be beaten up by Kim. When Kim got up, he winced, and soon closed his eyes a little. "Ugh, wait." Baek raised his arms and wrapped his face around him to protect he's face from he's fist. When Kim suddenly collapsed, Baek was surprised. He panicked and forgot his surveillance mission, and he came out of the tower in a hurry and shouted, "Hey, we need a medic!"

  As he headed toward the company building, he saw soldiers and executives sprawling in the smoking room. They were all bubbling out on their mouths biting their cigarettes. Baek fell back in surprise and looked toward the kitchen. 'Park Sung-jae!' Baek thought of it. Park Sung-jae, if not a friend, was the only one in the company who he spoke to. He ran towards the restaurant with all his might. "I can't save everyone anyway. I'll save him, that is the best that I can do!" Passing by the restaurant, the soldiers were all throwing up food and sprawling to the floor. It didn't looked like food poisoning, though.

  Running past the restaurant toward the kitchen, Baek found a snior corporal lying on the ground. He got him up. "Where is Corporal Park Sung-jae!?" The corporal exhaled and pointed silently to the back door of the restaurant. The back door of the restaurant was open, and there were signs that someone had run out to ask for help. Baek went out the back door and looked around. Park was nowhere to be seen. Baek looked around and saw someone pass from the side of the headquarters building over the window on the second floor."Who is it?" It might have been Park Sung-jae, but his outfit was different. A jumpsuit applied to blue... There was no way Park Sung-jae could change he"s clothes so quickly.

  "Damn it..is he the one who did this?" Baek was confused for a moment, but he finally decided to go there. After all, the officers and other military leaders were all in the headquarters building, and he needed the strength to subdue the perpetrator. "Damn it... What's going on?"

  Baek ran hard, opening the door on the first floor, and groaned along the corridor. 'Oh, my gosh.' Baek looked forward with his eyes blinking as he was out of breath. Then, someone came down from the central staircase in the hallway. Baek turned back in panic and began to run away with his full strength. The perpetrator was walking with a special gas mask, a blue jumpsuit all over his body, a sprayer, and a plastic container with his identity as a sprayer. He looked sideways, surprised by the unidentified sound, and saw someone's silhouette. He took off his gas mask. "Oh, I was going to ask where Kim Dae-hyun is..." Gamamusa scratched his chin nervously.
