She became worried because a tourist reported that Artem is being attacked by a deer. Apparently, the deer is known to be troublesome. Also, the MC messaged Sitka earlier about her situation. Sitka is about to tell her of available medicines, but is quickly hushed by the MC before Artem could hear. Sitka takes the hint, but reminds her to be careful and to be always prepared. Shortly after, Artem and the MC discuss about their deer-feeding activity. He reveals that he likes animals and he always researches beforehand on how to interact with them. But often, the animals “reject” him, much like the deer earlier. She thinks that it’s not like the animal dislikes him; maybe instead of being overly serious, a simple and direct method will make the animal understand his true intentions and thoughts. Then, Artem is about to ask her of what just happened during their meeting with Sitka, but decides not to pursue the topic. | ||

He tells her that he just misses the taste of home. She senses that he probably already knows something is up with her. It is said that "One of the few remedies to ease one's discomfort is to eat the food that one is most familiar with." Thus after eating the dishes picked by Artem, the MC's stomach feels a bit better. Artem then suggests that they head back now since he’s already a little tired. | ||

He did not ask her directly earlier despite his suspicion because he decided not to disrespect the her thoughts and decisions.

Artem tells her that he would like that too, but he asks her to not keep things to herself and suffer alone. | ||

Artem takes out his tablet and started playing a recording of wind chime sounds. It’s from the wind chime they made together last time. It managed to cure his insomnia that time, so hopefully, it helps her, too. The MC finally falls asleep. The next day, the MC recovers and feels much better. Artem repeatedly checks with her and insists on taking extra precautions. Together, they set out to join the Water-Splashing Festival and enjoy the celebration. As the event is starting to get crowded, the MC teasingly suggests if they can get away from the crowd by asking the elephants nearby to open an escape path for them. Artem rides the suggestion that perhaps he could try dealing with them. | ||

Artem: Hook of Love

Artem: Sorry, I was in the drugstore and missed your call.
Artem: I was worried that you might have something urgent to say, so I video called you. What's wrong? Did something happen?
Artem: ...Huh? You called me... just because you missed me?
Artem: I... I miss you too. Anyway, I'm relieved that you're fine.
Artem: No, I'm not sick. Don't worry. I went to the drugstore to buy some medicine for you.
Artem: I noticed that the medicine you brought when traveling was expiring soon, and I happened to be going to the drugstore, so I bought you some everyday stuff.
Artem: If you feel sick someday and I'm not around, at least I'll know that you have medicine and feel more at ease.
Artem: What's there to thank me for? I'm your boyfriend. It's my duty to take care of you.
Artem: Me? Don't worry about that. I have plenty of meds at home.
Artem: Every time I buy medicine, I check all the medicine at home first to see what types I have and their expiration dates. That way, I can replace them in time.
Artem: If you like, I can check the medicine at your place for you when we get the chance.
Artem: It's no trouble at all. Don't forget, I'm your boyfriend. Sometimes, I even hope that you'll "trouble" me more.
Artem: Besides, we can do it together if you're okay with it. I enjoy doing these things with you.
Artem: All right, it's a deal. By the way, I'll take this medicine to my place first. When you have time, I can help you...
Artem: You have time now? All right, it'll take me about 20 minutes to drive to your place. See you later.
