- Da Hae! - Eun Sang!

We hit the jackpot!

- Our crypto's up! It's really up! - Look at this.

Really?

I'm quitting my job. I'm just done with this place.

What?

Hold on, what?

Dear deities,

why is my heart pounding right now?

Is it because my crypto dream is finally coming true?

Or is it because he's about to quit and give up a jackpot of a bonus,

all for some unrealistic dream of his?

Dear deities,

please, just give me an answer.

(Kang Eun Sang Store, For When You Need It Most)

(Episode 11: Out Into the World)

Why the long face? I thought your crypto went up.

That's the thing.

When I think about the crypto, my heart...

begins pounding,

but when I think of you, Dr. Ham, I get all twisted up inside.

Come on, just accept the situation, okay?

Once they accept my resignation, it's done.

- But they haven't accepted it yet. - Look, where did we just come from?

We just went to get that, didn't we?

To actually find the guitar I sold when I quit music...

at a secondhand market...

as I restart music is totally...

- A total coincidence. - It's fate.

I finally feel like I'm on solid ground.

It feels like I've finally shaken the rock out of my shoe.

Now all I have to do is quit.

They haven't accepted it yet.

Look, about that...

What?

- What's wrong with this thing? - What's going on?

Why did we stop?

It won't even start.

What?

I guess this is what needs fixing now.

Okay, and what time did you say you'd be here?

Okay. Yes, take your time. No rush at all.

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

What'd they say? Are they on their way?

They said it'd be about an hour.

I see.

- I'm sorry. - No, it's fine.

I was feeling a little cooped up, so it's nice to get some fresh air.

Cooped up? Why? Is it your gastritis again?

- What about your medicine? - Once before bed.

But I doze off and keep forgetting, so it's not getting any better.

- Why do you keep forgetting... - Hey, you know what?

I think something's wrong with this guitar.

It sounds a little weird. Listen.

Oh my. A divine sign you shouldn't quit?

"Oh my," or is that just the sound of an out-of-tune guitar?

Give it here.

This view...

is suddenly making me want to sing.

On the long roads I have traveled

My weary heart

Searches for a place of rest

Letting out a sigh

On a lonely, foreign night

Like a tender greeting

Is the one I still long for

- With you, all right - With you, all right

- You make me feel all right - You make me feel all right

- Oh, my darling, my love - Oh, my darling, my love

- Even if the world stops - Even if the world stops

- Always - Always

- I won't let go of your hand now - I won't let go of your hand now

Be with you

What's with the look?

- Was it that bad? - It was amazing.

It's so frustrating.

I don't get it. If it was amazing, why is that frustrating?

At a time like this, I wish you weren't so amazing.

If you weren't so amazing,

I wouldn't be this worried.

Why? Are you worried about me?

How could I not be?

Do you really have to go to England?

You don't...

want me to go?

Should I give up on music again?

No, of course you have to.

So many more people...

need to hear your music.

When you get on stage, sing every track from one to 11.

And make sure you sing number two.

But do you really have to go as far as quitting your job?

Just think about it.

You're leaving someone...

as beautiful as me...

behind.

Can you really do that?

I mean, of course, I know this act...

doesn't work on you, but...

I'm telling you, it is.

But who said anything about leaving you behind?

What?

Well...

- Why are you laughing? - No, it's just...

The whole vibe just feels like you're about to propose.

If that was actually the plan, then you...

- just made it awkward. - Come on. No way.

There's no ring or flowers.

If it's going to be a proposal, you need to have all that, right?

And getting down on one knee...

Wait, were you about to get down on one knee?

You completely ruined the surprise,

but I guess I still have to do it.

- You have flowers too? - I guess...

I'd need those too, right?

Wait, don't tell me...

you're going to give me a ring too?

You keep spoiling everything,

but I guess I have to give you one.

Are you really going to say it?

I love you.

Will you...

marry me?

Kim Ji Song.

- Yes? - Why are these client codes old?

They all changed last week.

What? But...

Nobody told me anything about that.

What are you talking about? I had Mr. Yoon tell you on Friday.

Right, Mr. Yoon?

What? Me?

Mr. Yoon was out all last week...

What? So you're saying it's my fault?

- No. That's not it. - Give me a break.

If I ask you to do one thing, just do it right. Please.

Are you slacking off, or is it because you're an O.O?

- Just go. - Yes.

I'm sorry.

Make me a cup of green tea before you go.

Okay.

If he's calling me a slacker "O.O,"

does that make him a psycho pervert or something?

I can't stand him. Seriously. Darn it.

(A business owner earns 100,000 dollars after quitting job.)

What?

Hee Jung?

(Q. Why did you start your own business?)

I used to be a product researcher at another company.

I was an O.O there... No, I was on a permanent contract.

So, no one really believed in me, and I had no mentor to guide me.

That's when it hit me.

"I'm the one who has to build my own future."

And with that, I decided to jump into the world of startups.

(Any words for aspiring entrepreneurs?)

Don't torture yourself.

What?

Instead of agonizing over unanswerable questions,

just get started now, whatever it is.

Life is just too short to waste away...

in a place where you're not valued.

Right.

Life is short.

And I really hate my job.

Congratulations.

Da Hee, congratulations. Are you now Ms. Jung?

I'm just up for a promotion review. It's not a done deal yet.

Come on, who else would get it but you, Da Hee?

Exactly. You did well with Cocomishu and the snack subscription.

- That's enough of that. - Why?

Hey, Da Hee, you should treat us today.

Okay. In that case, lunch is on me today.

- Let's all go... - Da Hae.

You're here?

Da Hae, I'm hungry. Come on.

- Gosh, hurry up. - Aren't you going to eat with us?

Never mind. Let's just go eat like this.

- Let's just go. - Should we?

- Yes. - Let's get going.

What, do they think I'm some kind of saint?

Did they expect me to just join them for lunch and congratulate her?

That snack subscription service was my idea, you know?

Come on, they said it was because Cocomishu did well.

It had nothing to do with your idea.

- Whose side are you on? - I'm just saying, don't be mad.

Is work worth getting so upset over?

The crypto charts are going nuts,

and you just got a marriage proposal.

You can quit this job anytime you want...

I haven't given him an answer yet.

- What? - It was all so sudden,

- so I asked him for some time. - I see.

Right, and don't trust that crypto chart.

You never know when it'll tank.

What?

Why? Do you think it will drop again?

Not necessarily,

but there's talk of crypto regulation,

and rumors of alternative crypto currencies being delisted.

Before it starts affecting us,

I think it might be a good idea to just exit our position.

What, you want to pull out when it's doing so well?

You're right. We should play it safe.

Right.

Knowing the right time to pull out is the most crucial part of it.

Otherwise, when you're complacent, you'll get blindsided.

Bam...

And I was the one who just got hit.

What is this?

What is this?

A disciplinary hearing?

Nothing has been officially decided yet.

It's a heads-up that there might be a hearing...

because of the Kang Eun Sang Store.

What about the Kang Eun Sang Store?

Why would I be disciplined over that?

Company policy says for-profit activity is grounds for discipline.

The company's just been looking the other way until now.

As a loyal customer of the Kang Eun Sang Store,

I find this situation unfortunate.

Please prepare yourself, just in case.

If it just hadn't been for that post.

A post? What post?

Not Hoppang Bite again.

What do you guys think about the Kang Eun Sang Store?

Running a business here isn't right.

I got food poisoning from her drink. I thought I was going to die.

I think she resells expired stuff.

The quality's crap, and her prices are crazy.

- We should make this known, right? - Darn it, seriously...

Come on. Like I'd ever sell anything expired.

What are we going to do? I just overheard...

that if you got disciplined,

you could be suspended for a month without pay.

Get Grandma Na Moon Hee.

She has to give this post a piece of her mind.

A hundred times over.

But a month should be okay, right? Besides, your crypto is way up.

Hey, you can't compare the two.

You absolutely need a steady income, like a salary.

Then what are we supposed to do?

Ms. Eun Sang! There you are.

Hey, can I get two cup noodles and two pain relief patches, please?

We're closed today.

I get it. I won't ask to put it on my tab.

- Wait, you're serious? - Yes, there's a bit of a situation.

Ms. Eun Sang, can I get stockings? In tan.

About that...

You wouldn't have a hangover drink?

I drank way too much yesterday.

Is the Kang Eun Sang Store closed today?

Excuse me, everyone.

Kang Eun Sang Store is temporarily closed.

No, we can't do business.

But your products are all right here.

I'm sorry.

I'll pay you ten dollars right now.

- I'll pay you cash this time. - I'm sorry.

- Please... - I can't believe this...

Da Hae, talk to her at least.

- I have to go to a store now. - Let's go.

Wait, this is it.

- What? - What?

Look, many people need the Kang Eun Sang Store.

All of these people.

And?

One time, we had a huge meeting, and we were all out of coffee.

I'm telling you, if it wasn't for Kang Eun Sang Store,

we would've had to hold that meeting without a single cup of coffee.

They make us work overtime, but we still have to be here early.

And on top of that, they don't even stock shampoo in the staff lounge.

It's thanks to the shampoo and razors Ms. Eun Sang sells...

that I can even show up to work without looking like a total slob.

If the Kang Eun Sang Store is gone,

the nearest store is three intersections away.

In that case, they should at least give us a longer lunch break.

By the way,

this is completely anonymous, right?

Yes. Don't you worry. We're just going to compile it...

and use it for the petition.

Just to show how indispensable...

the Kang Eun Sang Store has been to the staff.

Oh, well, if that's all, then I don't mind.

- Keep up the fight. - What?

Everyone will be in a bind if the Kang Eun Sang Store is gone.

Hang in there.

Thank you.

Here, Da Hae.

I didn't think anyone would agree to help.

This still isn't quite enough, though.

This won't amount to much on the petition.

Do we really have to do this?

Come on, Mr. Ko.

You'll be the most inconvenienced...

if the Kang Eun Sang Store disappears.

You're hungover almost every day.

Where will you get your hangover drinks...

and headache pills?

No, I'm talking about Ms. Eun Sang.

Does she really need to do this?

- What? - I heard...

she made a fortune in crypto.

How much are we talking?

Why are you so curious about that? I thought you valued honest work.

I can't keep grinding away forever.

Before they put me out to pasture, I need to make a killing too...

Are you going to tell me or not?

You won't tell me, will you?

Fine, I'm not doing the interview.

Mr. Ko, wait!

I've already set up the camera.

Come on, you said you'd do it!

Darn it! He's really gone. Shoot.

It's no use.

What do you mean?

The disciplinary hearing for Kang Eun Sang Store.

It's going to happen no matter what.

I was the one who reported her.

I thought it was Hoppang Bite...

That's me.

What?

I'm Hoppang Bite.

But I figured just posting on the company board...

wouldn't be enough for a hearing.

So I made a formal report to HR, and I'm on my way back now.

So Ms. Eun Sang will probably be hearing from them soon.

Wait. No, hold on a second.

What are you talking...

You're who?

Hoppang Bite.

What...

So...

I just don't understand what you're saying.

I really can't wrap my head around it.

Will this make it clearer?

(My Posts: Hoppang Bite, Kang Eun Sang Store)

(I heard someone at our company made a million dollars in crypto.)

So it really was you...

But why?

And why are you telling me all this now?

This isn't the right place to talk.

How about we get some coffee...

Are you kidding me right now?

Why did you report the Kang Eun Sang Store?

If the hearing affects Eun Sang...

Will she get fired?

Probably not. It'd be nice if she did, though.

What did you say?

Will you keep seeing Dr. Ham?

I'd like it if you two broke up.

If you'd done that sooner, I wouldn't have gone this far.

Da Hee, don't tell me...

you're doing all this because you like Dr. Ham?

I guess that's as far as your imagination goes.

- How boring. - Jung Da Hee.

You must be busy preparing for the hearing.

I'll be on my way.

Gosh. What was that? That's so creepy.

Is this some kind of hidden camera prank?

Hoppang Bite...

(Subject: Disciplinary Hearing From: Marron HR)

(To: Kang Eun Sang Attachment: Disciplinary Hearing)

(Dear Ms. Kang, this concerns your commercial activities...)

(and is notice of a disciplinary hearing.)

But why in the world would Hoppang Bite target me?

Trolls don't exactly pick and choose their targets, you know.

I have a feeling they did pick their target this time.

What?

About Hoppang Bite...

What?

Nevermind.

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

What is it?

Eun Sang,

we're not going to let this beat us, okay?

That hearing? Let's go in there and completely crush it.

That's right.

So on that note...

Let's start with a practice run.

What?

Ms. Kang Eun Sang,

why, exactly, were you selling products at work?

That's because...

You were blinded by your greed!

What? Hey.

Are you laughing? Do you find this amusing?

You're in front of a disciplinary committee!

"You?" You two are something else.

Hey.

Stop slouching...

and address the committee with respect.

Honorable members of the committee,

could you please tone it down?

Eun Sang, the real hearing will be much worse.

That's why we have to practice properly.

Exactly. "One month of unpaid leave" is just code.

If things go south and you actually get fired...

I apologize.

I...

in this hallowed company,

committed the profane commercial act known as Kang Eun Sang Store.

I am truly sorry.

But to me, this company is more than just a job.

It was my life,

my dream,

and it was my last link to the outside world.

I tarnished that noble company culture...

and sullied it with my own greed.

Never again...

Never will I act so foolishly again.

I beg you,

please forgive me just this once.

Best Actress?

I think she's already won one of those.

Was it convincing?

Why don't you play the boyfriend card?

The boyfriend card?

You know, Dr. Ham.

He did resign, but it hasn't been processed yet.

He should still have some pull, right?

Want me to ask him to stop the action...

against the Kang Eun Sang Store?

Forget it.

He's got enough on his plate as it is.

Why? What's bothering him?

You.

You still haven't answered his proposal.

It's not that I haven't answered him.

I just have a lot on my mind about it.

Like what? What's on your mind?

Eun Sang.

I was imagining what it'd be like if I went to England with Dr. Ham.

- But... - But what? You don't like it?

It was amazing! No, you have to imagine it too.

We're talking England. Cambridge.

I'd start my days in a brick house overlooking the River Cam.

I'd relax with some tea and fish and chips.

Then in the afternoon, I'd go to London...

for a stroll near Buckingham Palace.

And maybe check out those handsome Royal Guards.

In the evening, I'd watch the sunset over the River Thames...

and have a nice glass of wine...

I'd probably get drunk. Right.

I should behave myself in a foreign country, right?

If you've figured it all out, why wait?

You sound so happy about it.

I know, right? Why am I hesitating?

Anyway, don't you worry.

Even if you get suspended or lose pay,

what's the big deal?

- What? - You've got us.

You think we can't take care of you?

What do you think we make money for?

That's enough. Ma'am, what's that called again?

We'll get you the VIP package at a retirement community.

Just trust us.

Are you laughing? Answer me!

- Answer me. - Hey.

- Answer! - This is as far as I go.

- Answer! - Go on. Get going.

- What are you doing? - Observing.

Observing what?

I saw on TV that daily life offers startup ideas.

If I look closely at everyday faces, I might see something new.

You're right.

I do see something new.

You've got a sunspot.

What? Where?

A startup? Please. Now that you have a little money,

you're getting all sorts of wild ideas.

- They are not wild ideas. - Yes, they are.

Not everyone can start a business, you know?

If you're just doing this without doing any real research,

and you just want to be treated like a CEO, then...

Profit structure, capital, loans, market analysis, and site selection.

I've researched all of that. I've also started business training.

I just need to land on an idea.

What?

I don't want to be treated like a CEO, but like a human being.

But I can't get that at the company.

My future lies outside this company.

(Marron Confectionery)

(Written Statement)

Good morning, Da Hae.

Are you all prepared for the disciplinary hearing today?

Look. Don't talk to me. It's creepy.

I thought you'd post on the forum that I'm Hoppang Bite.

But you didn't.

Why not?

Did you think no one would believe you?

- You should've at least tried. - I told you not to talk to me.

Aren't you curious why I did it?

I could tell you why.

Want to meet up after the hearing?

- We could grab a coffee. - Not later.

Let's talk now.

Follow me.

You crazy psycho!

I swear...

When you only gave me an Americano and threw away my letter,

and the times you subtly wronged me, I told myself it wasn't malicious.

But no more benefit of the doubt.

From now on, I'm going to assume your actions are malicious,

so you'd better watch your back.

If you mess with me one more time, you'll regret it.

And if you mess with my people, you'll regret that too.

If something fishy happens at Eun Sang's hearing today,

you'll regret that too.

I'll punch you in the face next time,

so you'd better be ready. Got it?

And one more thing.

You're Jung Da Hee,

and I'm Jung Da Hae.

We're not the same.

- What? - Why would I call you Hoppang Bite?

Why would I waste my precious time gossiping about your pathetic life?

You think I'd stoop to your level?

Eun Sang, you've got this. Don't be nervous.

Okay?

You're shaking more than I am, you know.

We've got your back no matter what, so don't worry about it. Okay?

Okay. Maybe you should wipe your mouth first.

What am I going to do with you guys?

You're with me right to the very end.

- I'm heading in. - Okay.

- You've got this! - You've got this!

- You can do it! - Go, Kang Eun Sang!

Don't be nervous.

You've got this!

This is killing me.

Ms. Kang Eun Sang.

Please explain why you decided to sell items on company property.

You know, getting a single office supply...

involves a lot of red tape.

The equipment we're provided is often broken,

and when you're in a pinch, there are no other options.

So I personally started keeping...

a small stash of supplies...

Ms. Kang Eun Sang.

This hearing...

is not the place for you to complain about company benefits.

I hear you also sold expired items.

- No. I've never done that. - And how can we believe that?

I have records, and I've kept photos of everything.

Please send the records and photos at a later time.

- Sounds like quite an operation. - In any case,

all those items you sold to your coworkers,

you charged them for it, correct?

There were so many of them, and such a wide variety of items,

that giving them all away for free was...

Yes. So you sold them for money, yes or no?

Yes. I accepted money for them.

- Da Hae. - What?

Can you hear anything?

No, I can't hear a single thing.

I hope she's holding her own in there.

You're showing your true colors now.

You did it for money, didn't you?

Do you love money that much?

How could you do that at work,

selling things to your own coworkers?

Unbelievable.

Colleagues...

Excuse me, but...

what you all call "coworkers," what does that word even mean?

What?

Are you saying when money's involved,

colleagues don't mean a thing to you?

Yes.

I don't know what...

this company's definition of a colleague is.

The coworkers I know...

are people with no one to lean on,

who are trying to survive on their own.

They're the ones who needed my help.

The 14th Open Recruitment hires...

went out to eat together again, without us.

They may seem like trivial things, but when they pile up,

the incidents can really make...

- a person feel small. - Eun Sang.

I was the only one who didn't know the all-hands meeting was moved.

That kind of thing always happened to my colleagues with no power.

Just because we're O.Os,

isn't it unfair that we get no holiday gifts?

I saw and heard it all happening right in front of me.

It's the employee lounge, so I just stepped in for a second,

but they told me to get out.

(Heat pack)

How could I possibly turn a blind eye?

And so,

something I started just to help out in a small way...

grew into the Kang Eun Sang Store.

Yes, right. So? What happened after it grew?

You turned the office into a marketplace.

Yes, you're right.

My intentions aside,

it's true I started a business here,

and as a result, money did end up changing hands.

Therefore,

(Letter of Resignation)

I am submitting my resignation.

Your resignation?

Are you saying you're quitting?

I have to take responsibility for my actions.

What? No, you should be begging for another chance,

and even that might not be enough, but instead you do this.

Yes. Please be lenient.

I know it's shameless to resign, but I ask this of you.

Please look after...

my coworkers.

Please ensure my colleagues are not discriminated against...

and that they can receive fair treatment.

And that our company and environment don't hinder their growth.

So that...

the future they dream of in this company...

doesn't have to feel so bleak.

From now on, I ask that all of you here...

to please pay closer attention to them.

Sincerely,

I ask this of you.

Do we really need to continue with this?

Am I the only one who's embarrassed right now?

Da Hae, it's over.

Hey, come here!

Eun Sang.

- How did it go? - Did everything go okay?

I have something to tell you guys.

Thank you.

(Your Beer, Custom Craft Beer)

What do you mean you're quitting?

What are you talking about?

Did something go wrong at the hearing?

Are those people still giving you a hard time?

Of course they are. It's all the company's fault.

Anyway, from A to Z, it's all the company's fault.

Stop bad-mouthing the company.

Still, for me, there are things I'm grateful for.

It's how I got to meet you all.

Back then...

I know I pretended you were all a pain,

but that's not how I really felt.

Come on, hurry up!

The late-night fee will kick in for taxis! Come on!

- Eun Sang! - Come on!

- Come on! - You've got this!

The way you would call out to me...

- Hurry! - Eun Sang!

- You've got this! - Eun Sang!

I really liked hearing that.

When life got so hard that I wanted to throw everything away...

and just wanted to die,

hearing you call for me gave me strength.

Or maybe I was just making that my excuse.

For your sakes,

I'd tell myself to just hang on for one more day.

"Let's live."

"Let's live."

Now that I think about it, raising you was a great excuse.

Then keep raising us.

- Keep raising us then. - But looking at you now,

you're all so much more grown up than I thought.

You don't need my protection anymore.

So I think it's time...

to finally be liberated from these parenting trenches.

It's my turn now...

to get out there.

Out into the world.

And keep going, with no limits.

Eun Sang...

I mean, but still...

What's with you?

I'm trying not to cry.

She needs to spread her wings, but she can't if I cry.

But every time I open my mouth,

I'm afraid I'll just end up begging her to stay.

So that's why.

Gosh, you're really something else.

I'm not going to cry. I'm not.

Don't you cry.

Don't cry, Eun Sang.

- This is delicious. - Just eat up.

Gosh, you already bought us dinner.

Should you be buying us drinks too?

- Thank you, Da Hee. - Don't mention it.

Hey, now that I think about it, shouldn't Da Hae have come with us?

Come on. Besides, is Da Hae even in the mood?

She seemed to have high hopes for this promotion review.

She must be really disappointed.

But Da Hae has been on a roll.

I think she's even better at her job than we are.

Come on, what good does that do?

In the end, she is still an off-cycle hire.

She's still just Jung Da Hae.

Our Jung Da Hee and that Jung Da Hae are completely different.

You're Jung Da Hee, and I'm Jung Da Hae.

We're not the same.

- How are we any different? - What did you say?

Pardon?

Have you all decided what to order?

- Yes. - What?

- I'll go place the order. - Fried chicken for me.

I'll have the fruit platter.

I'd like to place an order.

- Great work today, everyone. - See you tomorrow.

Da Hee?

Assistant Manager Lee? What are you doing here?

I was having a drink with some people from work.

I thought that might be you, and I was right.

Yes.

How have you been?

"How have I been?"

That's rich.

(Marron Confectionery, Jung Da Hee)

So you left our company for Marron Confectionery?

Yes.

I know quite a few people there.

I should give them a call. It's been a while.

I'll be going.

Da Hee, you haven't changed a bit.

Still so cheerful.

It's disgusting.

Ji Song?

What? My popcorn.

Ji Song, wait.

Mr. Oh!

Were you eating all that by yourself?

No.

I was with my friends just now,

but I wanted to get some fresh air before heading back.

Where'd you get the popcorn from?

Hee Jung gave it to me.

- Who? - Hee Jung.

The employee who was on the R and D team.

I heard she opened a pub nearby,

so that's where I just came from.

Hee Jung. Yes, I heard about that.

That she hit it big with her craft beer.

So you heard.

But that success of hers...

That could have been me, actually.

What do you mean?

Customizing beer to your own taste and all that.

Actually, that was an idea I had a while ago.

And I have a ton of other great ideas besides that one.

Right now, people are just drinking bubble tea,

but later, something way sweeter like brown sugar boba will trend.

Right, and that "personal color" analysis thing...

The technique that finds the most flattering colors for a person.

I think that'll be a trend too. And also...

I'm serious.

Sorry?

I have really good instincts.

Everything I predict is bound to take off.

Yes, I know. I'm sure you're right, Ji Song.

What would you know about it, Mr. Oh?

People I know just think I'm like...

some green tea bag lying around...

in the break room.

A green tea bag?

Because they're cheap.

The kind...

you just buy a bunch of and stock anywhere.

The green tea bag.

That's exactly how I feel at work.

Taken for granted,

always there...

But nothing special?

Come to think of it,

you really are like a green tea bag.

Hey!

No, I mean, with a tea bag,

you have to let it steep for a while...

to bring out its deep flavor.

And you, Ji Song,

if people took the time to really get to know you,

they'd see how special you are.

I guess people just don't realize that yet.

Really?

Is that what you really think?

So, are you saying that I could...

really make it big out there?

Me? Out there?

Really?

Yes.

Really.

I mean it.

What's this?

His eyes are...

like grapes.

Sorry?

(Ham Ji Woo)

Hello?

You sound down.

Is something wrong?

It's nothing.

It sounds like something's wrong. What, is your stomach upset?

You forgot your medicine again, didn't you?

One thing at a time, please.

Nothing major is wrong.

My stomach's just, you know, so-so.

I just keep forgetting to take my medication.

And...

as for the answer you've been waiting to hear...

I just need a little more time.

Actually, I wasn't that curious about that one.

So I guess it's not that important to you?

I was just trying to play it cool. Guess it didn't work?

Since playing it cool didn't work, can I just ask?

Why are you dragging this out?

It's just that...

But what would I do in England?

Whatever you want. I'll support you in whatever you do.

What if I decide I want to be an astronaut? What then?

I'd make it happen.

If I said I wanted to be president...

What's your ballot number? Which one am I supposed to check?

Please.

You're such a good talker.

You always just try to get by with sweet talk.

Is there something you want?

I mean...

Anyone can promise you the moon and the stars.

- Next stop, Shingye Station. - What?

If you really want to score points with me...

What a woman really wants on a dark night like this,

is when she gets off the bus...

is for you to be waiting there at the stop.

Waiting, and then what?

- Something like this? - What are you doing here?

- To kiss you? - What?

I just scored some points. Five points.

No, make that ten points.

Where are you going after all that? Why are you just leaving?

I was passing by and just stopped to see you.

Text me as soon as you get home.

And take your medicine.

That man, I swear.

As if I wasn't confused enough, he has to make my heart flutter.

It seriously makes me want to quit my job.

Hey. Isn't waiting two hours for just one kiss...

a pretty bad return for your time?

It's worth it. It could be our last kiss.

Why? You nervous?

- Because she hasn't said yes? - She will.

She will. I know she will, but...

If there's a one-in-a-million chance it won't work out between us...

What do you mean, "one chance?"

There's a chance her family says no, the chance her best friends say no,

the chance your families are enemies,

the chance you're half-siblings.

What? Do we look like half-siblings?

Does that even seem possible? Do we look alike?

You're nuts.

Why would you scare me like that?

Anyway, out of all those, the most likely one is...

that my mom will be against it.

The reason I'm here today is...

that I have something I must tell you.

Are you listening?

I'll just assume you are and say it.

As a musician,

I want a new beginning.

Also, I'm going to marry who I love.

Marriage...

I'm going to do it. I know you may be against it, Mom.

But you know, that possibility...

That possibility is a part of me, too.

Or at least it was.

It still is.

I could have given up on music and lived a miserable life.

But she brought me back to life.

She told me to try again.

To dream again. How could I let someone like her go?

I'm not a fool.

I'm going through with the marriage.

Mom, that's a number three!

If you're going to hit me, use the driver. I'm ready.

Hit me with the driver.

(Marron Confectionery)

What? What do you mean?

The shared payment plan you proposed for the snack subscription box.

It was intriguing.

It's a shame it didn't get picked.

I liked your Children's Day plan too.

Thank you.

When I checked your references,

everyone had nothing but high praise for you.

Why did you check my references?

Moving forward,

our company is planning to train internal communication experts.

Are you interested?

But I'm on the Marketing Team.

One of marketing's goals is...

to help people with their work and lives, right?

After all, marketing is about helping and communicating,

so it's basically the same job, just more systematic.

I see.

But...

why are you making me this offer?

I received a recommendation from a reliable source.

Ms. Kang Eun Sang.

Actually, yesterday...

I attended the disciplinary hearing for Ms. Kang Eun Sang's case.

And as I listened to Ms. Eun Sang,

I felt a bit ashamed.

The areas our company overlooked,

the Kang Eun Sang Store was filling the voids...

our company failed to address.

Right.

The Kang Eun Sang Store had everything you could possibly need.

It wasn't just...

about the merchandise.

(Kang Eun Sang Store, For When You Need It Most)

In this cold and desolate company where no one has the luxury to care,

whether it was for money or some other reason,

the fact that there was someone trying to help others,

that someone was there to empathize with people who were struggling,

it felt like something out of a fantasy novel to me.

Completely absurd,

but the kind you can't put down.

Unfortunately, we lost the fantasy that was Kang Eun Sang,

but the story has to continue, right?

That's the only way people here can keep on dreaming...

without getting their hearts broken.

And as for that job,

I would like you to be the one to do it, Da Hae.

(Kang Eun Sang Store, For When You Need It Most)

(Jung Da Hae, Marketing Team)

(Evaluation: Proactive and takes on any task)

(Highly persuasive, even with opposition)

(Marron Confectionery)

Did anyone cash out their crypto?

Not yet.

Me neither.

I want to keep going.

I'm curious to see how far this choice,

this dream of mine, will take me.

Eun Sang, I want to aim higher.

Me too!

Starting a business takes a lot of money, after all.

You're right.

Since when is being "just a little" ambitious a thing?

Then let's go all the way.

Okay. So what's our final verdict?

- Let's keep going! - Let's keep going!

(Ham Ji Woo)

But, Da Hae...

Shouldn't we go see Dr. Ham first?

So, have you made your decision?

Dr. Ham.

I have something I need to tell you...

Wait, what happened to your lip?

This? Don't worry about it.

Listen, I have something to tell you.

- About our wedding, my mother... - Can I go first?

I think I'm a person who wants a lot out of life.

And...

it seems you'd give me everything I could ever want.

Well, making you president might be a bit of a stretch.

I've imagined what it would be like to be married to you.

But in every scenario I imagined,

my happiness always came only from you.

That's a good thing, right?

But...

that's not the kind of happiness...

I want.

Whether I succeed or fail,

I want to find my own happiness.

That's why I started trading crypto in the first place.

You're going to end this on a good note, right?

The truth is...

I don't even know what I would do if I went to England.

If I just follow you there as I am now,

I'm afraid I'll want to rely on you for everything.

And I don't want to be like that.

And I found mine too, you see.

My own version of your guitar.

My dream.

I found what I really want to do at work,

what I'm meant to do.

So...

what I'm trying to say is,

- I don't think we should marry. - Wait.

Did my mother really go see you behind my back?

Did she actually pull your hair?

- No. - Or did some...

beautiful first love I didn't know I had show up?

Is someone trying to drive us apart?

- No. - If not that, then maybe...

Don't tell me we're...

long-lost half-siblings?

Dr. Ham.

So that's a no, right?

Okay, so...

because you don't want to rely on me,

and you want to stand on your own...

So, after some soul-searching,

you've decided not to marry me. Is that it?

Gosh!

Gosh, I never in a million years saw this coming.

Dr. Ham.

I know it'll be hard for us now,

- but this is for the best... - No.

I can't accept this.

Dr. Ham tried to find...

a clear reason that would help him accept it.

Was I just being that gullible?

Was this why everything just went sideways on me?

Some days, he'd reflect on the past.

That time we had the accident in Namhae...

Maybe something happened to your head back then?

Other days, he'd even resort to the most useless act of all,

trying to take back what he'd said.

I'm not one to stop someone coming...

or hold on to someone who leaves.

You're holding on way too tight.

But when that didn't work...

Why are you rolling up your sleeves now?

Why do you think?

Why else would I be doing this?

Da Hae.

- I won't go. - What?

I won't go to England.

I can just treat music as a hobby.

Then nothing has to change between us, right?

Dr. Ham.

I can't help it if my feelings are stronger than yours are for me.

Because I love you more,

I'll be the one to give it up.

No, that's not it at all.

It's just an excuse, isn't it?

You're upset I'm quitting my job. That's the real reason, isn't it?

What did you just say?

You liked that I had a steady job and made good money.

But now that I'm suddenly talking about doing music,

you don't see a future in me.

Isn't that the real problem?

Don't be ridiculous.

Come on. You care more about money than me.

The way you always bring up my bonus, for one.

- That's enough. - Why should I stop?

If I say I'll stay at the company, doesn't that fix it?

That's enough. Just check your phone.

I said I'd keep bringing in the money!

I said to check your phone!

Don't you dare think I'm that shallow!

Take your medicine.

(Da Hae's Gastritis Medicine)

It's time to take your evening medicine.

You have to take it on time so you don't get a stomachache.

When you are like this...

When you do things like this for me,

how could I not love you?

What am I supposed to do when your love...

and cherishment...

made me believe in myself?

This job used to be a place I just had to endure,

but now, it feels like a path I've chosen for myself.

So what do you expect me to do, when I want to see how far I can go?

So whether you go to England, or America, or even outer space,

I will go to you...

when I can stand on my own two feet.

I will go to you.

I will be the one to come to you.

How long will I have to wait?

A year or two years? Three?

We'll have to be apart for a long time.

So just tell me how long that will be.

Let's...

Let's say goodbye with a smile. Okay?

To make it easier on both of us.

- Okay? - Gosh, I can't believe this.

We're saying goodbye without knowing when we'll see each other again,

and you want us to do it with a smile?

I never should've hired you four years ago.

I just...

Someday, I might look back on this day and regret it.

That I was being too ambitious.

If I had just wanted a little less,

maybe things would have turned out differently.

But this desire to be more than what I am now,

how can I possibly suppress it?

(New Product Promotion Plan)

How can I turn my back on it?

(Surviving as a Business Owner: Ideas Are Key,)

(But Understanding Cash Flow Prevents Bankruptcy)

(Startups, CEO Survival, Tanghulu)

(Chinese Tanghulu)

To give it my all, as much as I've aimed high,

and to believe my chosen path is the right one.

Okay.

That's got to be all we can do right now.

(Ham Ji Woo)

Don't cry. Go on and be strong.

You weren't wrong, Jung Da Hae.

You're right.

(Don't cry. Go on and be strong. You weren't wrong.)

(Jung Da Hae)

It hurts after all.

Of course it hurts. Darn.

(Marron Confectionery)

- Hello. - Da Hae. You're here?

Oh my gosh, what happened to Da Hee's desk?

Turns out Da Hee was Hoppang Bite.

The people after Hoppang Bite, as soon as they found out...

- I gave her this as a gift. - I can't believe they...

Wait, where is Da Hee now?

I've been trying to call her, but I can't get through...

Yes, I'm not late.

Mr. Ko isn't here yet, right?

Where's Da Hee? I told her to wait, but she left.

- Have you seen Da Hee? - What?

She came up here before me. She's not here yet? What's all this?

What happened here?

Apparently, Da Hee was Hoppang Bite.

- What? - Yes.

Da Hee!

- Da Hae, you're here? - What are you...

doing over there?

How did you know I was here?

Did your imagination get a little better all of a sudden?

Jung Da Hee!

Perfect timing.

Come over here.

How about we finally get that coffee?

(To the Moon)

(Special thanks to Baek Ji Won for her guest appearance)

- Are you taking time off? - China.

Seeing your foreign boyfriend again?

Mr. Oh, why are you suddenly meddling in my affairs?

- Ji Song. - Wei Lin?

I've compiled everything for the handover into a file.

I want to rest now.

I'm planning my exit now.

I miss Dr. Ham so much.

We, as a society, have agreed to call that a breakup.

I came to perform in Korea with good intentions.

Dr. Ham...
