Original subtitles

This is nothing to cry over, so don't.

I won't cry,

because it's nothing to cry about.

I'm not foolish enough to cry...

when your reason isn't clear.

Good.

Then we won't bring it up again.

Let's go. I'll grab you a cab.

I can go by myself.

Don't.

Do you really think...

I'll get in the cab you call for me?

- Yes. - How so?

I'll make it happen.

What gives you the right?

I'm your senior, aren't I?

A senior should make sure...

his junior gets home safely.

I'm like your guardian.

I wouldn't make you go home by yourself.

At this late hour, past 11 p.m., down this dark alleyway?

All right.

Today,

we never met.

We'll erase this day from our memories, Eun Oh.

The cab will arrive in ten minutes.

Eun Oh?

Eun Oh!

Eun Oh?

Eun Oh!

Ji Eun Oh...

(Ji Eun Oh)

I got a taxi. I'm safely on my way.

Send me a photo of the taxi.

(Send me a photo of the taxi.)

(Ji Eun Oh)

You shouldn't have told me,

Ji Eun Oh.

(Episode 3)

- Father. - Hey.

How much longer do you have to work late?

Not much longer.

Are you doing well?

Of course, I am.

I'm busy meeting all the people I wasn't able to.

Oh, I see.

Why?

Never mind. Sleep well.

I will. You should get to bed soon.

Yes.

You want to turn me into a fool...

who happily accepted 10,000 dollars...

instead of the advisor position?

(Hwamokgyo Bridge)

I have feelings for you.

I really do.

You...

don't suit me.

I don't get...

What does that mean?

Forget it.

She'll handle her feelings.

Why did she say something she shouldn't have?

Why do you always go out in a suit?

I told you. I'm meeting people in the same field.

That fruit box.

Leave it as is. I'll take care of it.

Hey.

Why are you in a suit, Dad?

It's what he wore most of his life,

so casual clothes are uncomfortable for him.

Do you need some pocket money?

- Come in. - No, Dad.

I don't need pocket money.

Bye.

Why say that when we should be giving him money?

Mother.

Why...

Do you need clothes?

Gosh, no. Why would I...

need more clothes?

I could go three years without repeating an outfit.

If you have enough clothes,

spend this on some nice food.

No.

I still have a lot of cash left.

Mother. You don't have to save up your pocket money.

Spend it every time.

And if you need more, come to me.

- I'm going out. - No, wait.

- See you later. - Sang Cheol, wait.

Where is he going?

He has no job to go to...

or people to meet anymore.

Mother. Father returned last night.

I'll go and see him.

(Part-timers needed, simple tasks)

(Prior experience valued, Novices accepted, Elderly welcome)

"Prior experience valued, novices accepted."

"Elderly welcome?"

(Part-timers needed, simple tasks)

While you were away,

I threw out the sauces that had expired and got new ones.

Use whatever you need.

Okay. I'll do that.

Thanks.

By the way,

how was Sang Cheol's retirement ceremony?

You talked to him that evening.

I'll come with you when you go home.

What?

I got a gift for attending the birthday party.

They gave me...

a set of red ginseng supplements.

I thought it would be a perfect gift for Sang Cheol,

so I didn't open it.

Sang Cheol's out, Father.

Is he? I'll visit tomorrow, then.

He's going out tomorrow too. He has lots of people to see.

Maybe a few days...

No. Next week would be better.

He's really busy these days.

Is he? I'll wait, then.

He secured a new job even before he retired.

So many people must want to see him.

He would be busy.

Hey, Ji Eun Oh.

Come over here.

Did you tell Ji Hyuk?

I bet he said yes, and you cried.

Look at how puffy your eyes are.

No, he rejected me.

What? Say that again.

Why should I?

Didn't you foresee as much?

I'm no fortune teller or weather forecaster.

I can't do that.

What do you mean? Will it rain today?

Why are you here when it's not yet lunchtime?

I came here for a sandwich.

Why are you three huddled together?

Explain why.

I mean, why are you here?

Why are you asking like I'm not allowed to be here?

Ji Eun Oh. Bring the second quarter expense sheet.

I tried to sign it last time, but you stormed out in a huff.

Did I?

Oh, right. At the gukbap restaurant.

Seong Wu, can you get the ledger?

Sure.

An iced Americano?

No.

Seong Jae will join me for lunch.

- Will I? - Yes.

Thank you.

Ji Eun Oh.

The extra volunteer expenses for this quarter.

Our senior Hong Jeong Min will cover it.

Tell me when he wires it to you.

That's great. I was wondering how we'd afford it.

Come on. We're leaving.

I'll come back another time.

(Cafe Agit)

What was that just now?

You lied, didn't you?

About what?

What...

What...

You two didn't act like one of you...

asked the other out and got turned down.

You were so nonchalant.

Because I don't feel a thing.

You don't feel a thing? You just got rejected.

Yes.

Even when you see the guy who rejected you?

Yes.

Are you sure he rejected you?

I said I had feelings for him.

I asked him out, and he said he didn't return my feelings...

and that he wouldn't date me.

That's a clear rejection.

That's even weirder.

Did you sort through your feelings overnight?

Ji Hyuk never beats around the bush,

and I'm pretty good at getting the point.

I guess that's why.

Let's get to work, Su Jeong.

That I broke up with Yeon Hui.

You told Eun Oh, didn't you?

Yes.

Why would you tell her that?

Why you of all people?

- What about me? - You have a crush on her!

What if I do? Can't I tell her that?

I can do nothing but crush on her.

You knew I'd reject her.

You knew that.

Not really.

How would I know that?

Hey, Park Seong Jae!

Oh, that.

I started having a crush on Eun Oh six years ago.

But I wasn't sure about your feelings for her,

so I asked how you were feeling.

When I asked if you were interested, you said that to me.

That wasn't the only time.

I think I told you three times.

Yes, you told me three times.

Whenever I tried to approach Eun Oh,

you caught on right away and tried to stop me.

You told me to forget it.

You said we couldn't be with her.

I couldn't be with her,

and you shouldn't be with her.

You're starting to digress, Seong Jae.

Why do I always have to do as you say?

And why do you always have to draw the line...

as if it were the right thing to do?

Then why did you do as I said?

Because you're Lee Ji Hyuk!

No. You did because it was the right thing to do.

Because you agreed and were convinced.

You know all that.

So I don't understand...

why you told her Yeon Hui and I broke up.

I made a promise to Eun Oh.

- What? - She asked me...

to tell her when you don't have a girlfriend at least once,

and I had no reason to refuse.

She wanted to tell you about her feelings at least once.

But why do you have to be so condescending...

about her feelings like that? You're being a jerk.

Hey, Park Seong Jae.

Are you yelling at me now?

I'm the one who should be mad now.

You've never let me ask her out, you jerk.

Hey, Lee Ji Hyuk.

Do you even know how hard it is to be Daddy Long Legs?

It's you who chose to be one.

Because I had to do that at least.

When you care about Eun Oh so much,

why did you make her ask me out and get hurt?

You're the one who hurt her!

Don't be ridiculous.

To me, Eun Oh is like Su Bin.

Have I ever made her get the wrong idea?

Did I look like I wanted to go out with her?

You're unbelievable, Lee Ji Hyuk.

Is that why you gave her a flat refusal?

I did it for her sake.

So she wouldn't have any lingering feelings.

Is that why you acted like that after being so cruel to her...

so she wouldn't have any lingering feelings?

As if nothing happened? Just like that?

You said you rejected her.

But how could you meet her so casually like that?

That's because I have no feelings for her.

Was I supposed to act like I was confused?

How can you be so casual?

How can you not care about her?

You have to handle your own feelings.

It's not that I told her to ask me out.

And now, I have to help her move on?

Why are you being like this?

Eun Oh and I are friends from school.

You're unbelievable.

Just take the hot dog.

Forget it.

Just answer the phone.

Darn it.

Hey, the hot dog...

(Jung Bo A)

Hello?

Help?

What's the matter?

- Please take your credit card. - Okay.

Did you not forget anything?

Forget?

The stamp card.

If you get one more, you'll get a free drink.

Oh, right. I forgot.

You have a good memory.

You are one of our regulars.

Here. I'll give you a new one.

Make sure to get a free drink next time.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey. Try shaking your head three times.

- Shaking my head? - Yes. Like babies do.

I need to check if you're in your right mind now.

Go ahead and do it.

I'm shaking my head.

Who am I?

Tell me who I am and what month and day it is today.

I'm curious too.

About what you'll say.

See?

You are being really weird now.

(Cafe Agit)

Are you all right?

I guess rumors spread fast. It's embarrassing.

You probably need something,

like drinks or a little chat.

I don't need anything.

But I want to know.

Didn't Ji Hyuk tell you?

He doesn't want to go out with me.

He says he has no intention of dating me.

But I'm fine.

I'm actually surprised that I'm okay.

I see.

I guess that's how it is.

You didn't sweep the yard, did you?

That doesn't suit you, Eun Oh.

What do you mean?

Pretending to be okay...

when you are actually not.

That doesn't sound like you.

Call me if you need someone to chat with.

Anytime.

I'm really okay, though.

Does he mean that my outfit doesn't suit me?

Or does he mean that I'm not good enough...

for someone fashionable?

Is that it?

Because I'm not sexy?

That can't be true.

Lee Ji Hyuk...

isn't that kind of person.

What?

Su Jeong.

What do you think he meant?

I can't hear you.

What kind of woman...

suits Ji Hyuk?

She's out of her mind.

What's with your dress?

It's a dress I wear when I run away from a blind date.

A blind date?

You know,

rumors about me and him have spread far and wide,

so I won't be able to marry someone from the upper class.

My father tried so hard and managed to find me someone nice,

but if I go on the blind date today,

I'll probably be walking down the aisle next week.

I understand the difficult situation you are in,

but what do you need my help for?

I told him that I was seeing someone.

No way.

Someone is probably taking photos of us right now.

Is that why you told me to sit with my back to the door?

But it's not something that will be over after today.

I'll hire someone to act as my boyfriend.

Hello.

I'm Lee Su Bin.

Oh, right.

My name is...

(CEO Ma Sang Su)

This is me.

I guess your surname is "This Is," and your first name is "Me."

Is that a Gen Z-style joke?

Yes.

Oh, hello.

My gosh. You're here.

- It's been a long time. - Yes.

- Have you been doing well? - Yes. Please have a seat.

I'm such a snob.

When I'm crazy about love,

I still don't want to lose my dad's background.

You already lost your love,

so you can't afford to lose your dad's background too.

Exactly. That's why I'm a snob.

Is there anyone in this world who is not a snob?

Whether it's immediate gain...

or something that comes a year or ten years late,

everyone lives for their own benefit.

And that's just normal.

That's quite comforting.

Unless you want to stay single for the rest of your life,

you should consider marrying someone your father wants.

You said Seo Jae Uk left for Australia.

I'm not waiting for Jae Uk to come back.

Tell you how?

Yes. As soon as you retired,

you got a new job in the same industry.

So everyone is saying that you must know what to do.

You're finally making me come clean. Oh, well.

It's a company run by my in-laws' relatives.

My father-in-law's cousin is the CEO.

What?

My father-in-law practically begged them to get me a job there.

Getting a job in the same industry through connections?

It's just too hard.

All your past experience, skills, and connections.

They are nothing.

You must've come to see me because you've been there.

Yes.

Whether you have connections or not,

it's just too hard to be hired in the same industry again.

Just give up and find something new.

Still, I want to do something I've done before.

How would I start something new?

I get it. You'll need time to wrap your head around this.

That's when it hit me.

Nothing tops the joy of making money.

How was it that thrilling?

Month after month,

money came rolling in like I had hit the jackpot.

You must believe...

you have great commercial value.

Commercial value?

I mean, you're young.

Although, not that young, if you ask me.

You've got a pretty face and a toned body.

You must think you have everything a man wants.

That's why you're so confident, despite being jobless.

You've got it all wrong.

Or maybe you think I'm someone else.

You're a YouTuber, is that it?

Not having steady earnings...

doesn't count as having a job.

It depends on how you see it.

I'm trying to put myself on the map.

What about me?

How do you see me?

A, you make decent money. B, you make decent money.

Since you earn good money,

you must think you've got everything...

gold diggers want.

That's hardly true.

What?

You see,

I'll be quite the catch...

once I get some hair planted on this receding hairline.

Why haven't you gotten around to it?

I've been busy...

earning money.

- I see. - Right.

What's this?

Did you already make our wedding invitations?

This is a new kind of wedding proposal.

Why didn't I think of this?

Take a look, Ji Wan.

Everyone,

I'm finally getting married.

- Ji Wan... - Bride, Jin Hong Mi!

Groom, Sung...

(Sung Jae Ho and Jin Hong Mi, We're getting married.)

Sung Jae Ho?

What...

What is this?

My wedding invitation.

Your wedding invitation?

You're getting married?

To someone else and not me?

I've made it clear I'm not interested in marrying you.

You're the one who chose not to hear me.

Are you saying I'm to blame?

In some way, yes.

Wait a minute. We went...

on a four-day trip to the Philippines last month.

Were you planning your wedding during that time?

Were you seeing another guy while you were with me?

If you hadn't offered me those three choices,

I would've dated you until the day before my wedding.

You're healthy, fit, sweet,

and stylish.

But I don't like your background.

In fact, I hate it.

Don't think about coming to see me at work.

I quit my job.

Don't crash my wedding either.

Only invited guests are allowed inside.

Is this what they mean by a living nightmare?

Enjoy your dessert before leaving. I had fun while it lasted.

Hong Mi, wait.

It'll be hard to let go of the warmth of your arms.

Still, you can't force me to be with you!

Hey, Jin Hong Mi!

Hong Mi.

Dating violence is considered a crime these days, Ji Wan.

You believed what you wanted to...

and loved me however you saw fit.

Right?

Neither of us will regret it,

because you loved fully, and I received fully.

You're good with words, which makes it...

- even more sickening. - You won't stop me, right?

I won't.

- You... - Clinging to a witch like me...

will only end up being your loss.

Ji Wan, I'm a witch.

This is who I've always been.

(At some point, calculated strokes must stop.)

(Da Vinci's sfumato technique was used effectively.)

(Interpreting "Innate Rhythm of Rose")

(9 p.m. alarm)

I'm calling it a day.

Good night.

Starting this week, work until 10 p.m. if you can.

Artists preparing for solo exhibitions...

stay up all night if needed.

Always be prepared for an interview in case a reporter...

makes a surprise visit to the studio.

Got it?

Isn't Yeong Ra pushing herself too hard?

Ask her to join us for dinner at least 2 to 3 times a week.

She doesn't have the time.

Besides, this is her choice.

What can we do when an artist gets in the zone?

Honey, we're not artists, so we don't understand.

Unbelievable.

How was she born with an artistic gene...

when it's absent in both our families?

There's actually a more pressing matter.

That stalker lurking around her.

Can't you have him caught quickly?

I've been losing sleep over it.

I told you not to worry.

Mr. Jung was in the special forces.

Her stalker has been sending flowers every day.

If that's all, then catching him is pointless.

He'll be let go with a warning unless there's a bigger crime.

Trust Mr. Jung to keep her safe.

Once she wraps up her exhibition,

we'll need to marry her away so I can feel at ease.

Seong Jae should marry first.

Yeong Ra's still quite young, after all.

I'm home.

Hey. You must be exhausted.

Have you had dinner?

Yes, a hearty one.

You should rest. I'll head upstairs.

Take a seat.

He got home at 11 p.m.

Save the nagging for later and let him rest.

Have a seat.

When do you plan on marrying?

I don't have anyone to marry just yet.

If you don't have a girl by 33, you should get one.

Go on blind dates.

I'd like to marry someone...

after I've gotten to know her for a while.

A while?

How long do you think it takes to really know someone?

More time doesn't necessarily guarantee it.

Don't act so childish.

Either way,

I'm going to marry the person I naturally end up dating.

If I marry, that is.

Seong Jae, hold on.

What do you mean by that?

Are you saying you might never marry?

Seong Jae, that can't happen.

That's not what I meant, Mother.

Naturally, I should marry, and I will.

Please don't worry.

Anyway, I brought some work from the office.

Something feels off.

There's nothing wrong with what he said.

He hasn't found someone...

because he sets his standards too high.

That wacko.

I can't believe he ordered more wine...

and nearly made me miss the last bus.

What?

(Matchmaker)

It's not like you to call at this hour.

Mr. Ma Sang Su isn't interested in seeing you again.

He called you at this hour just to tell you that?

Actually, his call woke me up.

Anyway, I've passed on the message.

Are you kidding me?

(SUTANDARD, Subscribers: 13,501, Videos: 56)

I lost seven subscribers.

Do you consider running a YouTube channel that makes...

under 1,000 dollars a job?

Just wait and see.

I'll eventually gain over 100,000 subscribers,

and then over a million.

You wait and see.

You will be charged after the beep.

Oh Jae Jin, are you skipping work or just running late?

You probably don't know...

you should call if you're late for work.

That must be why you haven't called,

even though you're 50 minutes late.

It's 47 minutes, not 50.

Oh Jae Jin, you!

Goodness.

(KF Company)

- Mr. Vice President, hello. - Yes, hello.

Chief Director,

how are you coming in with Jae Jin?

He'll be taking over for me.

Everyone, please greet Chief Director Oh Jae Jin.

Right.

He's actually my only son.

Out of greed, I had him start as an intern...

and work his way up to learn the ropes.

Please be understanding.

I'm Oh Jae Jin.

But... Hold on.

HR didn't issue a notice.

It was probably just posted on the intranet.

The new chief director insisted on greeting...

his old team first,

which is why this was our first stop.

Who's going to be his mentor?

Who wants to teach him how things are done?

I'll do it.

I'll mentor you,

but know this, Oh Jae Jin. Keep this up,

and people will think you have ties at this company.

I warned you many times.

Twice is a mistake, but the third time...

means you're incompetent.

How much longer must I put up with this?

Not for much longer.

(Chief Director: Oh Jae Jin)

Over the last six months, I learned a lot thanks to you.

All right. Keep up the good work. Shall we?

Shall we?

(KF Company)

Sir,

I'm taking...

the day off today.

Sure thing.

Mr. Lee.

I believe I should talk to you separately,

since you were my mentor.

You worked hard to teach me a lot.

I must ask you, Ji Hyuk.

Why did you pity me?

I was really itching to tell you.

Why did you let me off the hook so often?

I mean, I made so many mistakes.

You should've scolded me, not protected me from my mistakes.

I suppose I thought...

you weren't competent enough to avoid mistakes.

Just a second.

I'll call you when everything is ready.

Eun Oh, it's Ji Hyuk.

Get me a bottle of sparkling water.

What?

Sure.

(Letter of Resignation)

Tell Eun Oh that I need to use the printer.

You can just use it.

Eun Oh's not in.

(Letter of Resignation)

Eun Oh, Ji Hyuk's gone.

You hid from him, didn't you?

Why?

I don't know.

Why did I hide from him?

This isn't like me.

Father.

Hey, how are you home at this hour?

Are you not feeling well?

It's not that. I just heard you were home.

Anyway, what's this?

It's nothing.

I see you taped up the torn wrapping paper.

Where are you going with that?

There's someone I need to meet.

You should head inside.

Still, that shouldn't be handed to anyone.

Let's go inside. I'll wrap it again for you.

I don't have the time for that.

Still, you can't...

He deserves to receive this as is.

Why's that?

Because you're returning it to the sender?

You're off to see Mr. Choi at Seongil Weaving, aren't you?

Don't go, Father.

You knew?

Yes, but not by choice.

(Reserved)

We'll talk later.

Don't take this with you.

You can just send back the money.

Returning the gift after taping the torn wrapping paper...

won't heal your wounded pride.

In fact, you'll feel smaller.

What did you just say?

That didn't come out right.

Don't act like you know anything when you don't.

I'll go. I'll give it back.

Tell me what you want to say to him,

and I'll relay the message.

This isn't your problem to solve.

Father!

Father, wait.

Come on, Dad.

Is this necessary?

You're off to see Mr. Choi at Seongil Weaving, aren't you?

Don't go, Father.

Returning the gift after taping the torn wrapping paper...

won't heal your wounded pride.

In fact, you'll feel smaller.

We got this at a nice price.

Da Jeong, doesn't that young man look a lot like Ji Hyuk?

(Pharmacy)

That's actually Ji Hyuk.

Ji Hyuk's usually at the office during this time of day.

(Pharmacy)

Ji Hyuk?

Ji Hyuk?

Goodness.

How are you here at this hour?

How come you were at the pharmacy?

I have a headache, that's all.

Why do you have a headache?

Is that why you left work early today?

That's right.

Could you have caught a cold?

Don't.

Mom, that's off-limits.

Of course.

I can't feel your forehead,

put you to bed,

or make you beef bone soup.

As clever as ever, Mom.

Come on. I used to teach elementary school, remember?

Let's stop chatting out here and go home.

He should get some rest.

Mother. We won't cook cheonggukjang or stewed zucchini today.

I'll make abalone, radish, and hijiki rice.

My eldest son's favorite.

Didn't you just get back? You'll go back out to buy that?

I always have a stash of ingredients...

for my kids' favorites in the freezer.

- I'll carry that for you. - Okay.

- Let's go. - Yes, let's go.

The apples aren't bruised,

and the money's all there. You can count it if you want.

It's fine.

I'm done with you, then. I'd like to see your father.

I know visitors are allowed.

Did you just talk down to me?

If I were to join your company,

you'd be my superior, however young,

and I'd have to treat you as such,

but right now,

you're nothing but the son...

of my old friend, Mr. Choi the CEO.

Step aside.

Unless you want a fuss that will make you look bad.

Don't say anything stupid.

I hope you don't.

(Hanguk Hospital)

Goodness.

Why did you work yourself sick?

I'd known you were the type...

to push yourself too hard.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Things don't always go the way we want.

We know that well enough.

Can we hold hands at least?

I hope you fight well and win, Mr. Choi.

My gosh.

I could wait until Father comes home so we could eat together.

Who knows when he'll come home?

We never know.

He does what he wants these days.

Eat as much as you can.

I'll wait and eat with my son.

Grandma...

She finds joy in eating with her son,

and I find joy in watching my son eat.

What are you doing these days?

My days are pretty much the same.

Today was like yesterday,

and tomorrow will be like today.

Do you exercise?

Have you finished the vitamin D I got you?

There's still some left.

You missed a few days. I told you not to.

Mom. You need to watch your health.

Your father had a hard time looking after your mother.

I have a pretty good life.

I met and married your handsome dad...

and had three good-looking kids.

And my eldest is so dependable.

Do you mean that?

Yes.

You can't call me "dependable."

You should say that about Father.

He's my other half, so it's a given that doesn't have to be said.

Do you...

believe in him?

How could I live if I didn't?

Grandpa gave you such a hard time.

My mom suffered from dementia for over ten years.

Your dad helped without a complaint.

He got himself...

a good wife.

I'm back.

- Honey. - Yes.

Dinner is abalone, radish, and hijiki rice.

Is Ji Hyuk home?

He left work early because of a headache.

I found him getting medicine at a pharmacy.

Don't go upstairs.

I told him to rest.

Okay.

Did he say anything else?

He did.

He asked about me.

And he told me to take my supplements.

Yes, good.

(Letter of Resignation)

By the way, honey.

What did he say when you returned it?

The son was a jerk, wasn't he?

You should've smacked his head.

I did with a few words.

You did?

Why did you just use words?

You should've smacked that brat in the forehead.

I should've gone with you. I'd have hit him.

(Letter of Resignation)

Good for you.

You did well.

At first,

I thought we should've wrapped the box nicely.

But no.

You were right to return it as is.

(Letter of Resignation)

(Letter of Resignation)

Lincoln Construction's Director Yu recommended us?

Can you send over the floor plan?

(Chief Director Oh Jae Jin)

(You have a new message.)

Mr. Lee. Come to my office.

Yes. I'll take a look, then visit the site.

Then I can make suggestions.

I wouldn't bother with anyone else,

but I thought I should give this to you in person.

It's an invitation to my wedding.

I see what it is.

By the way,

since you're detail-oriented,

I'd like you to handle the gift money.

Come to the hall an hour or two before the wedding starts.

(Chief Director Oh Jae Jin)

I don't need this.

(Letter of Resignation)

Lee Ji Hyuk!

You'll leave without handing over your duties? That's not right!

Someone else can hand over my duties.

His name is Oh Jae Jin.

He started as an intern and became a regular employee.

Every procedure, material, and method.

He has it nailed.

I taught him so many times that even a birdbrain would get it.

(KF Company)

(Assistant Manager Lee Ji Hyuk)

(KF Company)

Mr. Lee.

Lee Ji Hyuk.

Try to change your mind.

Even if you leave, it will go to another company.

I resigned already.

I'll talk to him so he'll take you back.

You were doing well here.

Not to mention that we're...

the Special VIP Team.

Thank you for caring.

You get it, don't you?

Try as we might, but we're just employees.

Take care.

Fine.

If I didn't have a wife and kids, I would've resigned.

Hey, you'll get hand dermatitis.

Stop it already.

Why should I stop?

Look. Even a fly would slide off.

Are you starting to realize it now?

Were you so shocked yesterday...

that you were having PTSD?

That's not true.

But I guess you are right about that.

No. I'm just cleaning.

Now that the construction is over,

you should take some time off and go on a trip.

I've been away for a while because of the construction.

How can I go on a trip?

I should manage the cafe.

You're here.

Beer, iced Americano, and tiramisu.

Oh, right.

I'll have sparkling water instead of beer.

I guess something's wrong.

Beer, iced Americano, and tiramisu.

What?

That's what he orders...

when he has something to think about for a long time.

It's a problem that you know too much about him.

Are you worried about him in this situation?

You should check the website and see if there's a request for a quote.

I'll bring him what he ordered.

No. I'll do that.

As I always do.

Are you sure you'll be all right?

When you saw him last time, you hid.

It was a mistake.

(A 2-month trip to South America)

(South America travel plans and reviews)

Sparkling water.

Your iced Americano...

and tiramisu.

Oh, right.

Your card and receipt.

Thanks.

I'll go and clean the restroom.

What should I do about this suffocating atmosphere?

Please find me the earliest flight to Sao Paulo.

I don't care about the travel agency.

After today.

Ji Hyuk.

Don't we have to pay for living expenses now?

Of course, I am.

I'm busy meeting all the people I wasn't able to.

You want to turn me into a fool...

who happily accepted 10,000 dollars...

instead of the advisor position?

I'm really sorry. I messed up.

I'm sorry.

I'll call you back.

Hey, let's eat. It's almost 2 p.m.

I'm starving.

You're right.

Go ahead and have lunch.

You're supposed to eat first today.

Didn't I eat earlier?

I think I ate something.

That's the snack I gave you. Cookies.

Oh, right. That's why I'm not hungry.

You can go and eat.

What...

Ji Hyuk.

You've been here for three hours.

What? So?

Do you really have to stay here this long?

You don't have anything to do.

Is this a place...

I can come only when I have something to do?

Am I only allowed to stay here for a certain amount of time?

Tell Eun Oh to come.

I don't want to. Talk to me.

- Darn it. - Why should I talk to you...

when you're not Ji Eun Oh?

I mean...

I'm sorry, Ji Hyuk.

You're so cruel.

Don't you see Eun Oh's struggling?

Don't be absurd, Su Jeong.

I'm sorry, Ji Hyuk.

Ji Eun Oh.

I guess you are uncomfortable seeing me here.

Yes.

Put up with it,

and don't let it show.

I came here to feel comfortable.

To be comfortable here.

That's what this place is about, and it's always been that way.

And it will always be that way.

From today on, Lee Ji Hyuk is my archenemy.

Let's play basketball.

(Lee Ji Hyuk)

(Chief Director Park Seong Jae)

Come to the place.

At this hour?

I know you're free.

I resigned.

Ji Hyuk!

Ji Hyuk! Wait.

Well...

If I ask you to go to a park or another cafe to talk,

you won't go, will you?

No.

Then, I'll say it here.

- Eun Oh. - Why don't I suit you?

You're being like that again.

I'm not trying to argue with you.

And I'm not asking you to think it over.

It's not like that.

I just need to understand.

Understand?

I don't understand what it means.

I don't get it.

When I don't understand, I can't solve the problem...

and find the answer.

I can't move on without finding the answer.

So, I need you to explain it to me in detail.

Why don't I deserve to be with you?

Once I understand,

I'll go back to being a good friend like I was before.

I don't want to lose you.

I liked you as a person first.

When it's hard to be straightforward,

people say things indirectly.

Did you not feel that?

Why are you being like that?

You've never done that before.

When someone...

doesn't meet your standards, you say the person doesn't suit you.

- So what on earth does that... - Stop acting like a child.

Why are you forcing me to reveal all my feelings?

You're being rude.

As far as I can remember,

I've never given you any false hope.

Have I?

I cared about you, liked you, trusted you, and adored you.

As a person and a friend.

You know that, right?

Then you should take care of the rest.

You're a grown-up.

There are times when you have to infer things yourself.

Imagine, consider, and speculate on every scenario.

Try everything.

Then you'll find the answer.

So you're still not telling me.

- I don't think that's hard... - That's what you think.

Why or what?

That's not important.

The point is...

that I don't think of you as my partner.

You and I can never be in a romantic relationship.

The important thing is that I have no intention.

Ji Eun Oh.

I suppose...

I cherished you too much...

if you think you have the right to confront me like this.

Pull yourself together,

and don't make me uneasy like this again.

If you can't hide how upset you are,

you'd be better off quitting the cafe.

You of all people know...

why this cafe was created.

- Answer me. - I hear you.

It'll end here.

I heard you loud and clear.

No one knows, do they?

No one knows how I feel.

As if anyone really knows what cruelty looks like.

My father doesn't understand,

and neither does anyone else.

No one gets me...

or how I'm feeling.

What am I supposed to do?

What more do you want from me?

Shouldn't a monologue be delivered with your inner voice?

Hey, I'm glad you quit.

You did the right thing.

That brat.

How can you possibly work for a jerk like that?

No one will be able to perform.

That obnoxious, irritating little brat.

Annoying, isn't he?

You've got to be kidding me.

I'm fuming mad.

I actually feel better now.

Hey, Ji Hyuk.

Just take a long trip somewhere.

Normally, you can't do that when you have a job,

so people do it while looking for new work.

A trip?

I'd love to go on one.

You wanted to go to South America after hearing how much fun I had.

I don't have that luxury.

I'm going to start looking for a new job right away.

Why? You should take some time off.

My dad's job offer...

was canceled.

What?

Seong Jae, life...

sure feels suffocating.

Why did you want to see me?

Was exercising the first thing on your mind...

after you quit your job?

This reminds me...

of when we did joint volunteer work at Edel Orphanage.

Word spread within an hour...

of you quitting your job.

Cut to the chase.

Is there an issue with the materials?

The Haneul Construction project is already done, isn't it?

It's not work that I wanted to talk about.

Aren't you thirsty?

Tell me why you called me here.

Did you quit your job...

with a backup plan in mind?

Is that what you wanted to ask?

Give me an answer first.

Did you quit your job with a backup plan in mind?

It's not like you to be this pointlessly curious.

I'm not being curious but trying to confirm something.

You don't have a backup plan, do you?

I doubt it, since you quit just a few days...

after Oh Jae Jin was promoted.

I'm not in the mood for your rhetorical questions.

I heard you walked out in style.

Three female colleagues have asked me...

to set them up with you.

Did you insist on meeting today just to talk about blind dates?

Why would I set you up with other women...

when I want to propose to you?

You heard me correctly.

What...

What is this?

Ji Hyuk,

marry me.

(Our Golden Days)

What about the position you're in?

No one asked you to worry about living expenses.

I'm the father and the breadwinner of this house.

So that your pride isn't hurt,

do Grandma, Mom, I,

and even you have to act like everything's fine?

She asked you to marry her?

I couldn't care less about her state of mind,

but you need to pull yourself together.

Aren't you...

It really is you from the subway station.

Could we perhaps talk for a bit?

The next guy you choose...

should be kind, not simply someone you like.

Liking someone is about feelings,

and feelings...

are powerless.
