Jiwoo walked towards the dining area. "Good morning. I'm surprised to see you being awake this early," she plainly greeted.

Matthew put a fried egg on a plate from a pan. Then he removed his apron and hang it on a rack.  "My apologies. I cooked only for myself. Would you like some too?"

"No. Don't have to. I'm just here to know your plans for the week. You know, some kind of monitoring."

"Is that so? Go ahead."

"The reason also behind that is per stated in Article VI, 'Failure to finish any task would result to any of the sanctions mentioned on Article III'."

"So what's my other punishment?"

"A 3-day reduction of your term."

"Fine."

"What do you mean by 'fine'?"

"Yes."

"You know what will happen if we fail."

"We? Maybe you mean if I fail? I clearly have an idea what will happen. I'll die. Right?"
