Bab 69: His favourite

Ji-ho didn't stay the night but she spent as much time as was possible with James, watching a drama series about lawyers. After five episodes, the alien was fast asleep while Ji-ho remained awake and completely immersed in the drama. It was a message from Archer that compelled her to finally turn off the drama and leave James' quarters. 

Yawning but invigorated by the interesting plot of the series, Ji-ho stepped out of the sliding door and found Archer waiting outside for her. 

"Eh?" She said with surprise. "What are you doing here?" 

Despite the late hour, the chief officer appeared fresh and awake. 

"Making sure you're alright," he responded. "What were you doing so late in the night cycle with James?" 

Ji-ho was taken aback by the query. 

"Am I being interrogated, sir?" She meekly asked. Since Archer was her senior in rank, Ji-ho should have been according to him such respect from the day she boarded the Horizon.
