On the way to the military base, the Sweet Doll manager's phone rang and the man had a heated conversation. "We have a problem" he told the girls at the end. "There's something wrong at the place you girls are going to perform tomorrow night. I need to go there right now."
"But what about our commitment at the military base?" Choi Hyun asked.
"You'll have to go without me. You can't miss this presentation either."
The girls got nervous to hear that since they had never attended an appointment without their manager. In the van they were traveling there were other people from the record company, like sound technicians, makeup artists and some helpers, but this wouldn’t be the same thing.
The manager tried to reassure them, and explained what they should say to do when they reached their destination. He then asked the driver to stop the van near a taxi stand. "Everything will be alright, girls" he said as he left the vehicle. "I trust you. Fighting!"
After another half an hour, the group finally arrived at the military base. In the guardhouse, the driver was told to park next to the main building where someone would be waiting for them. There, the girls found a young military man dressed in what appeared to be his dress uniform.
In the absence of the group manager, Alex, as the leader, was forced to greet him first, followed by Choi Hyun, the oldest among the Sweet Dolls.
“안녕하십니까! 만나서 반갑습니다!” the feminized man said “Hi! Nice to meet you!” using the formal polite form of Korean.
The man returned the greeting, although he didn't seem so pleased to see the girls. He then looked behind them, as if he was waiting for someone else to come and talk to him. Realizing what was going on, Alex explained that their manager wasn’t able to go with them there because he had an urgent problem to solve.
"He said he hopes that all of you, members of our honorable army, can forgive him for that. Therefore, today Choi Hyun-unnie and I are representing the group" Alex said all that with his eyes down as he had been instructed to do.
"I see. I'm sure that if your manager couldn’t come to visit us he certainly had a very strong motive for such” the man stated, but in fact he seemed even more annoyed to know that. “Anyway, we are very happy to welcome you girls here. I'm Sergeant Lee Si-won, and I had the honor of being chosen by our commander as your host. I am available to serve you as needed. Now, if you girls can come with me, I'll show you where you can get ready for the presentation."
During the walk, the sergeant didn't say another word nor looked at Alex and his bandmates. Alex couldn’t understand what was going on. He had heard that the guys at the military bases loved to receive idols, but that man apparently would rather be fighting a war armed only with a toothbrush than being in the company of the Sweet Dolls.
"Here we are" Lee Si-won said, standing in front of a wide door. "We do not have a women's dressing room, so we had to improvise. I hope you girls approve it. I'll wait out here. If you need anything, I'm at your disposal."
Alex then entered the room with the girls, still confused by what was happening…
