What…

What brings you here?

Ji Eun-o.

I'm here to tell you something.

Tell me…

Wait, you shouldn't have anything to tell me.

I do.

- What… - I'm going to sleep here tonight.

What?

Let me sleep here.

Are you out of your mind? Why would you sleep here?

Here?

As far as I know, this café is for Hangyeolgachi.

Old members sleep over here from time to time.

One of them is Ji Eun-o.

I'm the manager of this café.

Yes, but you don't own this place.

A café manager has the authority and responsibility for the café.

I have nowhere else to sleep.

You have a home in Seoul. There are hotels and motels.

I can't afford…

to sleep anywhere else.

Bye.

I'll pay for the motel, so get out.

Do you still see me as a pushover?

You didn't even explain or ask in advance. Now you're just barging in here?

Not a chance. Get out.

If I refuse…

will you drag me out?

I said I'd give you the money.

I can sleep here. I don't need your money.

Has he lost his mind or something?

It just makes no sense.

I don't understand.

Goodness. Damn it!

It's still cozy

and peaceful.

How could he show up in that mess?

I mean, how could he show up in front of me?

Does he think I'm that easy?

He knows I go hard when I put my mind to something!

Just why?

Why on earth does he want to sleep at the café?

If he's back in Seoul, he should sleep at home!

But there are no blankets. Where is he going to lie down?

It can't be.

Ji Eun-o, that tough brat.

This floor is so hard.

Can't believe she slept here.

What the heck? He used my sleeping bag?

What on earth?

Did you clean the storage room?

I guess he went to the toilet.

Hey.

He didn't even clean up.

Who? What's going on? What's this toothbrush--

Does he think this place is his own home? He left his bag and everything here.

Where did he go? Damn it.

- Who? - Lee Ji-hyeok.

What, Lee Ji-hyeok?

- He came back? - He slept here last night.

He slept here?

Hey, wait. Where are you going? Hey!

JHS ARCHITECTURE LAB

I was surprised to hear that you came to see me.

I'm even more surprised to see you like that.

Still, I'm glad to see you, Ji-hyeok.

I hope you've been well, ma'am.

Oh, come on. I thought we were friends.

Right.

Ten minutes.

I have a meeting with a client in 30.

Is that enough for you? Have a seat.

- Hyun-soo. - What?

I've found a business idea that makes me want to live again.

So I need an office. Let me use the café storage.

For the rent,

- I'll pay 200,000 won a month. - Are you going to start a business?

- Yes. - And?

- And what? - What's your business idea?

I'll need more than ten minutes. I'll tell you after I clean the storage.

You just want me to let you use the storage?

What? That's too simple. It took less than five minutes.

I have one more favor to ask.

Soo-jung.

I have a meeting today, so I'll have an iced Americano to go.

I see.

Leave Eun-o alone.

Why? Did something happen?

Ji-hyeok barged in and slept in the storage room last night.

Ji-hyeok came here?

He's in the storage?

No, well…

When Eun-o came to work, he was gone.

Then let me know as soon as he comes back.

Okay.

I'll come back for the coffee.

There's nothing valuable inside,

but you should throw it out in a trash bag.

Ms. Jeong?

I'm here to see you, Eun-o.

Ji-hyeok wants to start a business.

He asked to use the storage room as an office, and I agreed.

An office?

- Ms. Jeong, that's-- - Eun-o.

I want to go easy on him.

We know his situation.

He wants to give it a try, and I'd like to help him.

He'll use half the space and pay rent too.

Make sure to take 200,000 won each month.

Well, he might work at the café, but he'll pay for his coffee.

It'll be most uncomfortable for you…

because you used this place alone

as your office and workroom after opening hours.

Nevertheless, for the sake of your old friendship…

please bear with it.

I understand.

Ji-hyeok is back at the café.

If you do that, it'll be hard for us to carry things out.

I'll place things in a way it won't.

Let's talk after I'm done.

What's the reason?

Why did you show up here with Hyun-soo's support?

It's just as she said.

I'm starting a business and I need an office,

but I'm short on money.

And you want me to be understanding?

That's just my situation.

- Are you okay? - What if I'm not?

Hyun-soo allowed him. There's nothing I can do.

Right.

Gosh, Ji-hyeok's so smart.

Anyway, what business is he planning to start?

We have a customer.

Okay.

One iced Americano, please.

- That'll be 5,000 won. - Okay.

- I'll bring it to you. - Will you do that? Thanks.

OFFICE SETUP CHECKLIST

OFFICE CHAIRS CONFERENCE TABLE

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Have you been well?

Yeah.

Yeolmu.

KEYWORD ALERT

"Yeolmu"?

My office is closing down, so I'm selling all the office supplies I have.

Where is he?

Ji-hyeok.

It turns out that you're Soo-jung's friend.

Let's go out and talk over lunch.

I have no appetite. And I'm working on something.

What happened?

Hold on. I'm a bit busy now.

Ji-hyeok.

Sung-jae, let me do my business first, okay?

No, talk to me first.

Wow, you've gotten pretty rude.

- Park Sung-jae. - What happened!

Are you asking why I came back or why I'm here?

Tell me exactly what you want to know.

Everything, you bastard!

What are you doing here?

And, okay, you came.

But why without telling me? And what are you doing here?

I heard you slept here.

You want to know everything?

- Of course! - Why?

Why must I tell you everything?

Are you getting mad at me?

I was doing… something important, Sung-jae.

So, will you give me my phone?

If you want to talk to me, go and wait.

Jeez, you really are…

Maybe I shouldn't have told him.

You shouldn't have.

But they're friends.

He didn't tell him himself.

Park Sung-jae.

Sung-jae.

Keep this from my family.

You followed me out to say that?

Yeah.

Why? Why should I do that?

Because you shouldn't.

- You have no right to do that. - Hey, Lee Ji-hyeok.

You know how long I've known your parents.

You got to know them because of me, no?

First of all, don't do anything against your friend's wish. Secondly,

mind your own business.

You came back without letting me know in advance.

Put yourself in my shoes.

Keep it from them. It's simple. So stop whining.

Ji-wan is Young-ra's temporary driver now.

And Soo-bin…

I'm doing something with her.

Look. Everyone's worried about you.

You can't force me to lie to their faces.

A lot has changed…

while I was away.

Exactly.

Don't be too inflexible, punk. I'm not telling you to lie.

Just don't tell them anything.

Until when?

I want my family to hear about me directly from me, Sung-jae.

Not from someone else.

I can't just say, "I'm back to start a business."

"So don't worry and just wait patiently."

I don't think I can deal with their questions,

at least not yet.

You could've told me that.

But a business? What are you thinking?

Later. It's pointless to tell you now.

You'll probably think,

"This punk is really letting his pride show."

I'll be in touch.

What is he thinking?

You had a nightmare and trouble sleeping last night.

Are you feeling sleepy or sick?

I'm just tired and sleepy.

Sleep some more. I'm stepping out.

I made lunch. Have some with your mother before you go out.

I'm good. I had a late breakfast.

- See you, then. - Bye.

Goodness, this fool.

How reckless of him to think about

marrying into that family with nothing, even without this money.

You're still here?

What's that?

Nothing.

- Honey, what is it? Let me see. - Gosh.

Well…

They're the checks I gave Ji-hyeok.

You mean, that 80 million won?

He added his money, 20 million won, to that 80 million

to make it 100 million won and left it underneath his pillow.

I found it the morning of his wedding day.

And you kept it from me?

But…

I thought he at least had that money

and that he'd be abroad on a trip or somewhere outside the capital.

That was why I could endure it.

I was waiting for him.

Knowing all that, you chose not to tell me?

If I had, you would've been worried like this.

No.

You're wrong.

I would've tried to reach him every day. I would've left voice messages and texts

in the hope that he'd come back safely. I would've begged and pleaded

every single day.

Goodness, I had no idea.

How could he come back if his parents aren't even looking for him?

He'd be too ashamed to come back.

Did you have to make him earn money on top of everything?

He can survive without this money.

He was preparing to move out anyway.

What's there to worry about?

Lee Sang-cheol.

You heard me.

Lee Ji-hyeok is no longer my son.

Right, of course.

Of course!

Like father, like son!

It wasn't anywhere else but by a river.

Ji-hyeok was standing there, silently crying.

I kept saying,

"Ji-hyeok, come here. Come over here, dear."

But he… wouldn't budge.

Did you keep it from me in case I'd get angry?

What were you thinking when I was relieved

believing that he had money in his pocket?

I shouldn't be sitting around.

Good for you.

Both you and your son sure know it all.

He's no longer your son?

I beg to disagree. He's my son!

I saw him in my dream, and it kept me awake all night.

Da-jung.

Did you dream about Ji-hyeok too?

Mom.

Was it a nightmare? Me too.

Look, Sang-cheol. Shouldn't we report him missing?

Oh, please, Mom.

What if he can't process his humiliation and fails to find a way out?

Mom.

What are you talking about?

He's not that weak.

How can you be so laid back? You're his parents!

I'm going to the police station.

Stop, Mom!

Ji-hyeok is my son. You didn't give birth to him.

How do you think I'm feeling?

Do you think I'm less worried than you are?

How could you say something so frightening?

Da-jung.

He's just another person.

After all that humiliation he faced,

he can't possibly show up only after a month or two.

He absolutely can't.

But that doesn't mean I'm all carefree.

"It can't be. No way."

I believe it won't be the case.

Still, the anxiety eats me up countless times a day.

Still, I told myself to wait.

Report him missing? That's terrible.

Ji-hyeok said he'd come back.

He told me that he'd come back.

That's right.

Da-jung…

She's his mom after all.

She was bottling up inside.

I thought she was being carefree

and that I was the only one agonizing inside.

She's been devastated.

She's his mom, after all.

Did you have plans to meet someone?

No.

I felt bored, so I was thinking of taking a walk.

Living 87 years

has taught me all kinds of things can happen.

Anything can happen.

Dad.

I'm listening.

I wonder how my Ji-hyeok is holding up.

Are you crying?

Dad.

You have a call.

Leave it. It must be my husband.

It's not him. It's an unknown number.

Hello?

Mom. This is Ji-hyeok.

Just a moment.

Ji-hyeok. Have you been well?

Yeah.

I called because I was worried that you might be anxious.

I see.

You did well.

Look, Mom.

Yeah?

It's just…

You don't have to worry about me,

but I need more time.

Yes, of course. I'm sure you do.

You're not sick, are you?

I'm not. And I eat well.

Please let Grandma know.

Okay.

I'm dying to ask where you are and when you'll be back.

But I guess that's meaningless to you.

You're so quick to catch on as always.

But you'll come back when it's time, right?

Yes, Mom.

I see.

Your husband is on his way.

Oh, there he comes.

Gosh. Hello, Father.

I'm sorry for troubling you with Ji-hyeok and my issues.

No, don't be.

You don't have to save face with me.

Reemployment can always be called off.

Have this and cheer up.

Gosh, no. You should have it.

Take it.

He's kept it for you for quite some time.

Thank you, then.

Anyway, what brings you all the way here?

Why were you talking on the phone outside?

None of your business.

Hurry up and take her.

It seems like you cried in front of your father.

You seem less angry.

Ji-hyeok called just now.

He said he was doing well and that we shouldn't worry.

Was that the phone call?

Yeah.

He sounded okay.

It made me feel okay too.

So what if he's not okay? He caused what happened.

Whether he's to blame or not,

you know he's suffering the most.

However you feel or think, I'm unhappy with him.

What are you doing?

I couldn't check the sales yesterday because he barged in.

Oh, Min-woo.

- Check the scones. It doesn't match up. - Got it.

- This way in, please. - Sure.

He bought a desk already?

The beer crate is filled with empty bottles. Put it outside.

Got it.

You bought a desk already?

Someone was selling used office supplies on Yeolmu, so I bought them all.

Yeolmu?

Are these all secondhand?

What is this?

A cot. I'm going to work and sleep here.

Sleep here?

Are you saying you'll live here?

Yeah.

Wow, 200,000 won for all these? That's a steal.

Gosh. Can I talk to you for a sec?

Is this why you went to talk to Hyun-soo?

To shut me up?

Yeah.

I didn't know you were this selfish.

I thought you already knew all about me.

Back then.

In the end, all you wanted was a rich, comfortable life.

That's what you wanted.

But you pretended you didn't. Acting righteous, siding with the weak,

pretending you won't marry just to stay free.

It infuriates me that you fooled me like that.

My favorite person has now become the one I hate the most.

Everything is over. All the dumb things I did

thinking it was friendship…

I'm throwing them all away. From now on, you don't know me.

I thought I knew you.

But I didn't expect you'd be worse.

Are you telling me to put up with you around the clock here?

You know how I think of you.

And you obviously know I work all night here from time to time.

When you work all night or take a nap here,

I'll stay quietly in the office.

Stay together in here all night?

Pretend that I'm a stranger, or invisible.

I'll try my best to shorten this period, but I can't promise you anything.

You talked to our landlord to silence me,

and now you want me to treat you like a stranger?

That's so like you.

This is enough to break your skull, but at least you only got a headache.

Why is the day going so slowly?

Go talk to Hyun-soo.

- Tell her how you feel. - No, I'd rather quit.

Hey.

Goodness.

So he's actually starting a business.

I wonder what he's planning to do?

Are you going to be okay?

I'll pretend he's invisible.

Just like he wants.

This is suffocating.

Min-woo, can you work on weekends?

I need to work less.

When is the exhibition?

It's coming up soon.

So, when is it?

Why do you ask?

Can't I ask?

You're not in a place to ask, Driver Lee.

What?

What did you just say?

"Driver Lee"?

Yes.

Haven't you hired a driver yet?

I haven't heard anything yet.

Hey, I'm not your driver.

I'm doing this temporarily as a favor to Sung-jae.

And you're my sister's age.

I came to help you because I think of you like a sister.

How dare you act like some stuck-up madam?

I've had enough of you.

Had I known you were this rude,

I would've said no even if Sung-jae's grandpa asked!

My mom said you were my driver.

Oh, really?

Too bad. I refuse.

- Excuse me? - You can drive, right?

Yes.

Drive yourself home. I'm out.

My goodness.

What a snob.

She never says hello and she ignores everything I say.

I was a driver to her the whole time?

Not a chance.

The pay is good and her family is nice, so I meant to let it slide,

but I just can't put up with that snob.

Damn it.

She was stalked by someone dangerous. He hasn't been caught yet.

Young-ra was badly traumatized.

Scared? As if.

She's rather arrogant.

I'll feel relieved knowing she's under your protection.

Please take good care of her.

Damn it!

What the heck?

What is she doing?

Hey, unlock the doors.

Unlock the doors.

Hey, Park Young-ra!

You…

You really were easily scared.

Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.

Unlock the doors.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Me too.

I'm sorry.

"Sorry"?

You learned sign language?

When? Why?

It's past ten minutes. My mom is going to make a call.

We're in the middle of the street, not a subway.

We didn't move for ten minutes.

I don't understand.

There could've been an accident.

Well, I guess these people are from another world.

Buckle up.

Hey, Young-ra.

Are you going to keep calling me Driver Lee?

Your mom knows that I'm Sung-jae's friend's brother.

She said I was a driver?

Just because you have a sister around my age,

doesn't mean I am also your younger sister.

So, that's how things work in your world.

Okay, got it.

Keep calling me Driver Lee.

Am I supposed to call you "miss," then?

No, that'd be overdoing it.

Hey, your mom is waiting outside.

What took you so long?

Well, there was a car accident.

Not us. It was the cars much ahead of us.

Young-ra.

Was there a sudden stop? Were you hurt?

I'm okay.

It wasn't us, but the cars much ahead of us.

I see. That's such a relief.

Thank you.

Let's go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm at a loss for words.

Dad, I'm home.

You seem happier today. Did something good happen?

It was the same as yesterday.

Is Driver Lee okay?

You said that yesterday and two days ago.

I'm just worried.

If you can't trust our son's friend's brother,

how are you going to trust a new official driver?

Did we hire an official driver?

If it were that easy, we wouldn't need to hire a temporary driver.

It's awkward that he's Sung-jae's friend's brother.

Why feel uncomfortable? It was Sung-jae's recommendation.

It's best not to get involved with acquaintances.

You said the same.

If we ever make a mistake or upset him in any way,

it'll make Sung-jae lose face.

You're not the one to make Sung-jae lose face.

Your mom can be quite timid sometimes, Young-ra.

- Gosh. - Right.

- I'll go upstairs. - Okay.

There. It's all ready.

Goodness.

I feel too bad to even thank you now.

I can't believe you iron all my clothes every day.

Gosh, don't you get tired of saying that?

You say that way too often.

I told you. This is the basics.

It's your underwear. My husband's underwear.

What touches your body first should feel fresh. It'll feel good.

And how about this for your work outfit today?

My dear wife, Seong-hui.

You never change.

I like what you recommend.

But you always ask me what I think.

I must say, you're remarkable.

It's your never-ending praise that makes me keep up.

Mr. Park.

- You're the expert. - Goodness.

Get changed. I'll go check on Young-ra.

Look at yourself.

Young-ra, you're swollen. Why is your face puffy?

You couldn't have had anything else other than the salad.

I didn't have anything else.

Did you stretch every morning?

Or did you sleep with your face down?

Don't tell me you took a nap in the drawing room.

No.

Then, why?

I can't even lie down on the sofa in the drawing room.

Must I stick to Artist Jang like this?

It should be okay to draw in her room and bring it over like before.

Did you forget already?

That stalker hasn't been arrested yet.

What if that bastard is watching you in secret?

What if he sees you moving canvases?

Life doesn't come for free.

Nothing can be earned without sacrifice or effort.

This is all because of you.

This is all for you, Young-ra.

You're right, Mom.

Let's stop here.

Nagging too much to my smart daughter

will only ruin your pride.

Secretary Ko, did you use that perfume again?

No, I didn't.

You're lying because I can smell it.

But you aren't gutsy enough to lie to my face.

You mixed it with fabric softener.

Yes, I didn't want to waste it.

Hey.

I gave you a new perfume so you could throw yours out.

Yet you keep using yours. It's what a con artist would do.

Don't be pathetic.

It wasn't for you.

It was for my nose.

Get changed immediately.

Yes, ma'am.

We got the file with the member galleries

and curator list from Sori Society, right?

Bring me that.

Oh, a list of their possessions too.

Yes, ma'am.

Here. Have a good day.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Hello.

Oh, Hye-na. Long time no see.

Hye-na's here?

- Are you here to meet a friend? - No.

I'm here to meet Ji-hyeok.

Why?

We've agreed to meet up.

The storage room is his office, right?

Hi, Hye-na.

- Go on inside. - Okay.

- Two iced Americanos, please. - Oh, okay. I'll bring it over to you.

No, I'll wait here.

This is what you told me the other day.

I organized it this way.

Good job, Hye-na.

It's a bit empty now without the company name and logo.

It's all been decided.

Add the company name and logo to this.

Let's work up to search engine optimization today.

You've had it all prepared.

Of course.

I like it.

They're looking at something on his computer.

How unusual.

Tell me about it.

It's as if Mr. Ji-hyeok has become a totally different person.

Let's just focus on work. I'd rather not bother.

Hye-na, come here.

- What did you do with Ji-hyeok? - He asked me

to make a simple website for him.

- What website? - Well…

He said everyone would see and find out when the website is open.

Oh, right.

You're Eun-o's junior in computer engineering, That's why he asked?

Yes.

But he came back two days ago.

Around ten days ago, we met up.

- Where? - In Seoul.

In Seoul?

Sorry I called you out of the blue.

Right.

You're going abroad after this semester, right?

Yes.

How about working part-time before you go?

Anyway, you really are a piece of work.

Why didn't you tell anyone that you met him?

Did I have to talk about it? Why?

He reached out to me about work.

So, what did you do today?

We worked on the SEO.

That means it's almost done.

Yes. I'll be going, then. Bye.

Eun-o,

is it possible to create a website in just ten days?

You can do it in only a few days if it's a simple one.

Jeez, he's so fast with what he does.

Oh, I'm dying to know.

What kind of business is he going to start?

Business, my foot. He's just being pretentious.

Pretentious?

He doesn't want to hide anymore.

He wants to come back, but he's too ashamed to do it emptyhanded.

So he's acting like he's starting something grand.

Starting a business is not a joke. You can't do everything in two months.

If he could've, he would've started one a long time ago.

But he came back to the HQ.

- This is where words travel the fastest. - That's why he's here.

"I'm here to make a comeback,

but it's not going as well as expected."

He'll give up and seek another job.

And then…

- Then? - He'll disappear from Constant Value.

Eun-o, you're so clear and cold.

I've known him for ten years,

and he never said anything about starting a business.

He even got her to make a website so quickly.

That kind of website is darn simple.

Besides, no one runs a business only with a website these days.

A mobile application is a must.

KIM JAE-HOON

Hi, I was meaning to call you anyway.

Yes.

The website will be ready and open soon.

I'll send you the link right away. It will help with the development.

Of course.

You'll invest in it?

Then I'll guarantee you a share in the company.

Yes.

I'm a little busy right now. I'll call you tomorrow.

Why is it so hot in here?

Maybe I should buy an electric fan.

What the heck?

When did it close?

What on earth?

That's strange.

What was that?

I heard your brother's marriage got called off.

Yes, it did.

All of a sudden?

Your father is jobless,

and your eldest brother is jobless.

So, you have your looks, age, and educational background left.

Just these three.

So what?

I'm no match for a man with six qualities?

I know.

What can you give up?

Among a man's looks, age, educational background, family background,

occupation and wealth?

Are you telling me to pick three qualities?

No, that's not it.

Soo-bin, you're pretty and young.

You have these two big strengths.

So, let's give up just two.

- Age and family background. - Okay.

That's a wise decision.

It's hard for a young man to be rich with a fine job.

And you know, such guys don't go for poor women with no savings.

But I didn't give up on appearance.

A man like last time is an absolute no.

I won't even tolerate edited pictures this time.

NOT SOMEONE PERFECT, SOMEONE WHO'S RIGHT FOR ME

How degrading.

HA-EUN

COUPLE LOOKS TO SET THE MOOD! LET ME SHOW YOU NOW

Why are we getting more subscribers each day?

It was less than 40,000 until two days ago.

This is all thanks to him. Check the comments out.

Is he really your boyfriend?

What an ideal height difference.

Jeez, I only get to wear sneakers when I'm with my boyfriend.

Your outfits go well with each other, but I can't wait to see his face.

I love this concept. Keep having him appear in your videos.

I need info about your boyfriend's outfit.

Can't you reveal his face? I'm so curious.

We're getting explosive comments only about Sung-jae.

Sung-jae is a hottie, after all.

How old is your brother again?

My eldest brother?

He's 32.

In Korean years, he's 34.

So, we have quite the age gap.

Hey, Ha-eun. Don't even dream about it.

Sung-jae's the grandson of a conglomerate family.

For real?

No wonder why he's so cool.

That's not important here.

What?

We've got to strike the iron while it's hot.

Two more videos with Sung-jae might give us a boost.

Secretary Kim, I'm working overtime, so leave--

What's wrong?

It's nothing, sir.

It's okay to use your phone,

but why are you so freaked out to see me?

Did someone criticize me or something?

That's not it.

Well…

Someone who looks like you is on YouTube.

Someone like me?

…when going to a classic exhibition, concert or performance.

The key is this blue stripped shirt.

What in the…

She's out of her mind.

Oh, perfect timing.

- I was about to call you. - Hey, Lee Soo-bin.

Why did you break your promise?

You agreed that my face wouldn't be in it.

It's obviously me to those who know me.

When did you post the video?

Days ago. You saw it too late.

I thought you were okay with it since you didn't say anything.

Soo-bin.

Re-edit the video.

Anyway, I'm at your company. I have something to tell you.

What?

You said you'd edit my face out.

That was our deal.

So I didn't check the video. I had faith in you.

But then, your silhouette looked just fine.

And with your head gone,

it was too frightening. It was just off.

Still, I blurred out your face.

You little…

Anyone who knows me would notice it right away.

You only blurred it out a little.

Edit the video again and repost it.

Then make two more guest appearances.

You little brat.

You're bargaining with me now?

Don't play coy with me.

Re-edit the video, and I'm never shooting a video again.

I'll blur it out more.

If Ji-hyeok wasn't away, I wouldn't be asking you for this favor.

I'd ask him instead.

It would be nice if at least one of us is settled

when he comes back.

Ji-hyeok will be okay.

Don't worry about him.

The contract conditions are very detailed.

I've reviewed it a few times.

- Still, there should be a hole. - Right.

You barely had anything during dinner.

What is it?

Do you have something to say?

Well…

How much are our living expenses?

Our living expenses?

Why do you ask, all of a sudden? You know.

Well, I didn't pay much attention.

How much is needed for our necessary living expenses?

For our house loan's principal and interest, 830,000 won.

For an urgent utility bill,

insurances, and national pension savings, a million won.

For food and daily necessities, a million won.

Your mother's allowance, 200,000. My dad's living expenses, 500,000.

And your allowance.

I wonder how much you'll spend since you're unemployed.

This is frightening.

It costs a lot to support this family.

We have a lot of family members, you know.

There's no need to worry already.

Fortunately, we have your severance pay which Ji-hyeok left behind.

Well, the thing is…

Honey, I'm planning

to study for the electrical technician license exam.

Electrician technician?

Yes, that will be the beginning.

At the end, I want to get an electrical engineering license.

It's easy to get a job with that license.

But I studied liberal arts, so I can't take the exam right away.

Instead, I'll get a electrical technician license.

With a year of experience,

I'll be qualified to take an industrial electrical engineer exam.

And with one year experience of that,

I'll be qualified to take the electrical engineering exam.

Gosh, just hearing it is already complicated.

If it's so easy to get a job with that license,

why wouldn't science majors take that career?

It's not all easy to pass the exam just because you studied science.

And you'll try it out when you studied liberal arts?

I'll take lessons and study as I make money for the family.

How long does it take to get that electrician technician license?

Usually around six months to a year.

Mr. Lee.

Aren't you overexerting yourself?

Let's just take even small jobs like everyone else, honey.

Let's just accept how things are now.

What are you talking about?

Are you telling me to find a job to put food on the table each day

without any future plans?

We have Ji-wan and Soo-bin to marry off.

This is ridiculous.

You already made up your mind. Why even bother beating around the bush?

Well, because I feel sorry.

I know you can't be stopped, and I have the heart to stop you.

I don't know what to do.

So, count on me and wait six months.

I'll make sure to pass that exam and get a job.

On one condition.

No part-timing. Don't do it.

Focus on studying.

Thanks for letting me.

I don't think that's the case. You just announced it.

- Sung-jae. - Oh, hey.

You should've called me.

I don't have your number.

- Oh, I'll give it to you. - Will you text me?

- We have to go out now. - "We"?

Oh, hello.

The three of us are going out for something.

- Are you all ready? - Yes.

Anyway, will that outfit be okay? Shouldn't you at least get changed?

Maybe I will next time.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

See you.

Ji-hyeok. Please keep the doors locked.

Off we go.

I didn't know they were that close.

No, they weren't that close.

"We"?

What the… Kang-o, did you have a drink yesterday?

It's you who had a drink. You came home after 2:00 a.m.

That's why Mom made this hangover soup.

Me?

Mom, I didn't drink.

Then why were you home after 2:00 a.m.?

I went to play games.

I told you. I do it once a week.

Is this why people say late flings are scary?

But, no. You needed something to distract you.

There you go again. Watch how you speak to your older sister.

Kang-o, I guess you aren't short on money these days.

You talk to me with disrespect.

Maybe he's becoming immature.

I'm eager to tattle, but I'll hold my tongue

until the time comes.

All right, sure. There's time for everyone.

Sleep some more after breakfast, Eun-o. The café is closed today.

No, I have a meeting with a client.

I recently got a request for an apartment interior design.

I need to go check the place.

It's too old, isn't it?

They haven't renovated it for 30 years.

Right, this house needs a full-scale remodeling.

Down to the doors and windows. The whole place.

That's my plan.

The process might take around five weeks. What do you say?

I'll store my stuff and stay at my parents'.

Now that I have the measurements, I'll start with a draft of the floor plan.

Sure.

I'm going to work and sleep here.

No one else is at the café today because it's closed.

Why should I be inconvenienced?

What's that?

I didn't know you were coming today.

What is all this?

There are no windows in the storage room.

It was so suffocating. I got Hyun-soo's permission.

This way, I have a café view from my desk.

You don't know how much I'm putting up with already.

I won't be able to see you even if I stand up.

You won't be able to see me in the storage room either.

I had it all calculated.

Why didn't you just make it into a window for ventilation?

I wanted to, but I held back.

You'll keep this up, won't you?

If I close the door, you'll feel suffocated

and ask Hyun-soo for permission to keep it open.

You'll feel suffocated

and ask Hyun-soo for permission to work in the cafe.

Since you have her permission,

I'll have to say yes without being able to voice my opinions.

No, that's not it.

That's exactly it.

You turn out to be cheap on top of everything.

Fine.

Keep that up.

Cut me some slack.

Will you, Eun-o?

Some slack?

I won't cause you any more inconveniences.

Of course.

What?

Because I'm going to quit.

What?

I'll quit working at this café.

- Help me, Eun-o. - What's going on?

That's not important here.

Fire me if you want.

I'll be fired if I deserve it.

I'll make it big and marry someone who's rich too.

Are you out of your…

Do your parents know?

This is where the second chapter

of your best friend, Lee Ji-hyeok, begins.

It's Mamdaero Zip.

I have three conditions you must follow.

Act like we're strangers, don't say hi to me,

and don't talk to me.

Is that even possible?

Can I talk to you for a sec?

It's going to be the first day. I'd like you to do it.
