The chapter opens with a description of a drama that is to take place at a wholesale company. The company will be using the company's office as a set for the drama, which is to be directed by Kim Gain. Kim Gain is a singer who looks like a hamster, and the company is planning to have a party at the office. The party will take place soon, and Kim Gain has to go to the factory to tell the company chief about it. He tells Kim Gain that they are not together, but Kim Gain does not believe him. He goes back to his room and sleeps some more. He feels that he is his kin, and that it is comforting to hear the gentle heartbeat of his kin. He says that he has not slept that well in the last few days, but that he went back to bed the other night, and he wonders if he is sleeping well because he is kin to Kim Gain, or because he feels distant from Kim Gain now. He asks Kim Gain what he means by going to work the next day, and she tells him that she is going to see him the following day. He is shocked, but she says that they can treat the situation after the meal. She says that she will continue to help him, but he does not know what to do.
