Kim Tae Pyung, a marine sergeant, would escort his intelligent urban civil engineer sweetheart, Son Eon Jin on a daunting journey to execute the city lockdown plan. When miscalculations brought forward the D-Day earlier than expected, their missio...
The couple sat together and watched their mini campfire dancing in the chilly night. The silence sparked the replay of the dynamic, intense emotions from earlier the day. Instinctively, Eon Jin sensed her beau's angst and turned to see a tearful face. ~ end of recap
"Boyfriend, I know it's been a hard day, but if you're crying like this, you will make me cry too," Eon Jin almost choked on her snivels.

"I want to marry you and have a child who looks like you. I want to see you with gray hair and wrinkles. I want to see you grow old. But I regret greatly that I procrastinated because of my mere inferior complexity."
That was a weak side of Tae Pyung which Eon Jin never saw. He went on to reveal the deepest wound in his soul ever.
Tae Pyung overheard her mother remark about his non-existent parents many years ago.

I might have felt your apprehensiveness at times but chose to brush them off, because I thought we were both focusing on our careers."
Eon Jin held onto the tearful face as she tried to soothe the angsts away gently. She hugged him snugly as if to reassure her presence.

"Yes, I do, Kim Tae Pyung, my answer to your proposal," she whispered into his ear.
After the weepy confession, the two turned in for the night. Eon Jin texted Chief Executive, Mr Ji Jin Hee, of her progress and Na-eun of her wellbeing.
