Ep. 46 - Chance Encounter is the forty-sixth episode of Hand Jumper.
Plot[]
Sayeon doesn't find money to pay for the public phone in the third aberrant headquarters in her pocket. While trying to think of a solution, Captain Sungwoo Han walks past to a nearby elevator talking on his own personal phone. His tie indicates that he is a level eight officer. Sayeon gets to call Jaeil's number using his phone, but the number is not available. Sayeon finds this odd, since usually Jaeil picks up on any call he gets. She thanks Han for his phone and gives it back to him. She tells him her name when he asks, and realizes that she finds him handsome. Sayeon tells Han that she was trying to contact a friend, and vehemently rejects his suggestion that it might be a romantic interest.
Sayeon apologizes for overreacting, and says that she's been acting more erratically lately. Han tells her that life gets easier once she becomes an officer, and tells her that he sometimes feels like he works an ordinary office job, being an "errand boy" for more senior officers. This sounds good to Sayeon. The elevator arrives, and Han walks on. Before he goes, Sayeon thanks him for the reassurance, and he says he'll root for her. Sayeon thinks that there are decent officers in the Corps living stable lives, and is filled with excitement at the thought that one day she and the rest of her cell will become like Han.
Upstairs, ninth-level Officer Minguk Gyeon is playing around with his gift when Han enters, apologizing for his tardiness. Officer Minguk Gyeon bows to him, and refers to him as Officer Han. Hand switches out the pins on his tie, and a text box reveals that he is a level 10 officer and head of the third headquarters. Han says that the Corps will go to war in less than a month because of the Godling Lilith.
