He can't avoid her forever. Especially, considering that he's the commanding officer of the Mouru camp and she's the team leader of the medical team. The two of them were bound to see each other a lot.
Sijin saw her walking towards the ruins. He might as well greet her properly.

Once the soldiers were done taking down the flag for the day, everyone resumed to enjoying the party. But she was still feeling miserable, so she decided to get back to her tent regardless.
"Wait!" she glanced back towards Yoo Sijin, as he grabbed her arm again. "Please have something to eat. It's the birthday party of one of my men anyway."
"Later. I'm really not feeling hungry right now," she said as she pulled her arm away.

He screwed it up. Ah, he's so screwed...
He stared at the meat that was cooked as he picked some that looked juicier and meatier. And then he walked towards the table where the rest of the food and side dishes were and added them to the plate with the meat. But then as he stared at the plate he's holding, it crossed his mind as to how he should give it to Moyeon. It'd be awkward... but then he couldn't exactly back out now...
"Sir? Something wrong?"
Sijin turned towards Gibeom. "Ah no... I just..."
"Are those for Dr. Kang?" Sijin glared towards Daeyoung as his friend laughed. "If you want to take it to her, you shouldn't chickening out now."
Daeyoung was not being very helpful right now. Why, he ought to—without warning, he realised someone taking the plate out of his hand as Sijin turned his glance back towards Gibeom.
"I'll take it to her. Should I tell her that you picked these for her?" said the young man. He immediately shook his head before ushering the kid to leave. His ears twitched again as he heard Daeyoung snicker.
"You're not being a man right now—oof!" Daeyoung winced as Sijin stepped on his foot. The man retaliated as he grabbed his neck to give him a noogie.
"She must have lost her appetite because of that call earlier. Seriously, what did she do to the—"
"Shh, Dr. Song. Enough of that!"
Sijin and Daeyoung stopped what they were doing as he turned to look towards the direction of the speaker. But the pair somehow noticed that they were attracting attention and started talking in soft voices. He didn't hear anything more for the rest of the meal.

"What do you think happened?"
"How do you think I'd know what happened? All I heard from Dr. Song before was that Mr. Han asked her out. Other than that... well, we all heard what she said this morning on the phone."
He couldn't help wanting to hear more... even though it seemed improper to be eavesdropping on them like this. He hid himself beside the door as he saw the group passing by the area.
"But really, a hotel!" one of the women exclaimed.
"How long was it since Mr. Han was divorced—"
"—what do you think the call was for?"
No matter how he tried to make sense of what he was hearing, he really couldn't figure it out. Who was this 'Mr. Han'? What's he got to do with Moyeon? Oh wait, did he just heard how this Mr Han asked Moyeon out? To a hotel?
Wait a minute... why's that name sounded familiar?
"What're you doing? Weren't you supposed to go to the barracks for the roll calls?"
Sijin glared at Daeyoung as he grabbed the folder that he left on the table. "Yes! I was going to!" he hissed, before turning around to see that the group already left the area. He groaned aloud as he walked out to head towards the barracks.
And then halfway there he recalled seeing a name that fit the bill from the form he got about the medical team earlier.
