Day 2

''I'm surprised you haven't gave up. I like your attitude.''

''Are you flirting with me right now?''

''Shh... No one must hear us. Focus on your training.''

''I thought you found me horrible yesterday.''

''No, I told you you were amazing.''

''Really? You really mean it?''

''Did you think I would tell a white lie?''

Eun Tak descended the scaling of fortified walls without any help and asked her monitor to unbuckle the two loops at the front of the harness where the climber tied into the rope at the working end using a figure-eight-knot.

He playfully and shouted ''You are like a machine'' and fist-bumped her, cracking a genuine smile.

''Come with me for a second.''

''Where?''

She tagged along to the backalley and out of the blue he wrapped his arms around her.

''I've dreamed of doing this. This feels nice.''

He pressed his lips on her hair, sniffed it gently and whispered : ''I want to see you more often.''
