Are you sure?

Yes, Ms. Ji Eun-o is a suitable liver transplant candidate.

The results say she's a match?

I knew it.

Let's discuss the next steps in person.

Thank you, Director Yoon.

I'm saved.

She has a boyfriend?

She got a boyfriend?

But when?

Seong-jae didn't seem to know either.

And she's throwing a birthday party for her boyfriend at a convenience store

That's so like her. How pathetic.

She obviously showed off her skills.

Skills to enjoy convenience store food 100 times more.

Whatever, it's none of my business.

So what, she can't have a boyfriend?

Why can't she? She can!

There's no need to take pictures.

This is one of the most special moments I've had in my life.

It's fascinating.

You don't think it'll taste good, do you?

You're wrong. Have a taste.

Really?

It looks weird, but it tastes good.

I know, right?

- Try some of this too. - Okay, thank you.

Let me…

Ms. Ji, let me ask you one thing.

Why do you care for me this much?

I'm just a middle-aged man you ran into a few times by chance.

You see, my dad

used to run a business which failed.

I was in the tenth grade.

Until then, I got to take lessons for anything I wanted, thanks to him.

Piano, tae kwon do, ballet, drawing, skiing, cycling…

My dad taught me how to jump rope.

He must've struggled so much

to stop his business from failing.

He could've passed out of exhaustion,

but he started going outside somewhere early in the morning right away.

I assumed he was looking for another job.

After a long time, I figured out why.

I saw those calluses on his hands

and red scratches on his shoulders.

That day, I realized…

that he wouldn't be able to get back on his feet.

That because of us, he was doing daily physical labor.

I see.

He continued for two years until he collapsed.

He had terminal pancreatic cancer.

He must've held on till the very end…

because just a week after the diagnosis, he passed away.

You used to have

such soft palms with no calluses at all.

I know how desperately you're holding out and studying for the exam.

It was the same for my dad.

At least, your father must've been a happy man.

No children understand their parents like you do.

A very young daughter, at that.

Hand me the files I need to review.

Text me for other issues. I'm in a serious mood now.

Mr. Cho is waiting for the result.

What result?

Oh, the café remodeling. I didn't get to ask her about that.

We have this urgent matter waiting to be decided,

so what's gotten into her?

A birthday party for her boyfriend at a convenience store?

This is so annoying.

And did she have to choose someone that lousy?

What is Seong-jae even doing? That stupid fool.

Anyway, what brought you here earlier?

I wanted to think a little over a can of beer.

Mr. Lee.

May I ask you something?

Of course.

I got a really nice offer.

It's about sharing an office building.

But I'll have to share it with someone uncomfortable.

For quite a long time.

Why are you uncomfortable with him?

He must have an awful personality for you to hate him this much.

No, I don't hate him anymore.

It's complicated.

Anyway, I got over it and was starting to feel comfortable around him.

But just at that moment,

he started to act strange.

It got me uncomfortable again.

Is it perhaps your ex-boyfriend?

No, we were never in a relationship.

I told him my feelings, but he turned me down.

Oh, that punk is an idiot.

How could he reject someone like you, Ms. Ji? What a moron.

Mr. Lee.

Can you stop calling me Ms. Ji?

But you're Ms. Ji.

How else do I call you?

You can call me by my name.

Jeez, how can I?

Then why don't you call me by my nickname?

Spring.

My high school nickname was Spring.

Spring?

What a perfect nickname for you.

I can immediately picture how your life has been.

What do you say?

"Spring. Hey, Spring!"

Well, okay.

I felt awkward calling you by your name,

even though you were around my kids' age.

But I guess your nickname is easier. "Spring."

Have you never had a nickname?

I was a nerd back in school.

I never had such a thing.

But I was quite good-looking,

and people called me the little Shin Sung-il.

"Mr. Shin Sung-il"?

But that's no different from calling you Mr. Lee Sang-cheol.

Let me give you one.

Mr. Early. How's that?

"Mr. Early"? What does that mean?

You're surprisingly an early adopter.

You're good with your phone too.

Well, I learned how because I needed to.

It's an abbreviation for Middle-aged Early Adopter. No?

I'm experiencing something new after meeting a young person.

Okay. You're Mr. Early.

I should change it on my phone.

Anyway, Ms. Ji…

I mean, Ms. Spring. About what you asked…

What do you care about more, your discomfort or your work?

My work.

Then just deal with the discomfort.

As if nothing ever happened.

The best form of revenge is to ignore.

Well, I wouldn't call it revenge,

but I kind of have been ignoring him.

It's good, then.

He's a nobody to you anyway. Don't bother feeling uncomfortable.

Your work comes first.

The worst kind of discomfort is when it involves your family.

That's right.

I get it.

It feels so good to talk to someone about it.

That's the way it is.

Sometimes it's a lot easier to open up

to someone who isn't personally involved.

That's why people tend to consult with monks,

priests, pastors and doctors, you know.

Right.

Just like when you told me about your son who ran away from home.

Gosh. It's because of my son who ran away from home.

I hope he also has people who help him like this somewhere

when he's tired.

Oh, right.

At that time,

I did tell you what I was keeping from everyone else.

I have a suggestion.

Let's hear each other without asking anything.

If there's something hard to tell people around us.

Then it'll automatically become each other's secret.

An automatic secret…

I guess you could say so.

Mr. Early.

Ms. Spring.

A stranger understood my heart even when my family didn't.

A small young woman, at that.

What an unforgettable birthday.

I've got a friend much younger than me.

Honey. Da-jung.

Honey.

Close the door.

You surprised me. What were you doing at this hour with the lights off?

Didn't you hear me call you in the alley?

I did.

Then, why did you just go in without answering me?

Because I felt like swearing.

Swearing?

You were humming.

Where were you and what did you do to make even you hum?

What… Honey.

You must've been with a woman.

As far as I know, you aren't that lousy.

But you may be, given your audacious lies.

Are you cheating on me?

What are you talking about? That is so out of the blue.

Aren't you?

Then do you have something to tell me? Don't you?

I have no idea why you're accusing me.

Is it because I skipped the birthday dinner?

I went to your school with packed dinner today

because your mother was sad

to have her son eat poorly out of the house on his birthday.

Your classes are only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

since the very beginning.

Honey, the thing is--

How could you lie to me?

You lied.

In any case, you lied!

You said you'd take classes and even study at night all week,

but you worked part-time three days a week?

You said you'd only study for a year.

You promised me!

He already has low chances, even if he focuses on studying.

His pride is just too strong.

Mom must be frustrated.

I get it, honey.

Let's sit down and talk.

I'm sorry, but please keep your voice down.

Mother might wake up.

I'm so sorry I lied to you,

but, honey,

I passed the written test after just one month

while working part-time.

Yes, you know it all.

Come on, honey.

You didn't tell me when the test was or even that you passed it.

Mr. Lee. Just what do you take me for?

Do you treat me like your wife?

I worked part-time

because I couldn't stand being jobless and just spending money

when I was the head of the family.

And I was going to tell you about the written test after passing it.

I meant to tell you, but Ji-hyeok returned just then.

He was too proud to tell us what kind of business he started,

and it seemed awkward to brag that I passed the test.

You couldn't say because of Ji-hyeok?

Honey, that's too far-fetched.

You may not understand because you aren't a man.

Anyway, sorry. I'm sorry.

Why does it have to be so hard?

Men are too complicated.

Gosh, this is really bothering me.

How am I supposed to share an office building with her?

She'll probably say no.

If we agree to the remodeling, we'll be stuck together for years.

She won't like that.

What brings you here?

To tell Hyun-soo something about the offer she made.

That's good. I was meaning to talk to you anyway.

Let me talk first.

I'm going to accept the offer Hyun-soo made yesterday.

It's what I need at this moment.

Me too.

What?

I'm going to accept it too.

Even if our partnership ends, we can just build separate entrances.

You've really thought this through

- even about the partnership ending. - Of course.

So you're okay with sharing the same office building with me?

Is there a reason not to?

A reason not to?

Mr. Lee.

- Why are you looking at me like that? - Me?

Well, I was just spacing out because of something on my mind.

Your face just happened to be there.

What?

I better get going. I'll come back later with an idea.

Wait.

Wait.

We need to let her know first.

That's great.

Gosh, I feel so satisfied.

Now, as of today, you're in charge of closing down the café.

I can ask you to do that, right?

Of course.

Instead, I'll pay for the demolition since it's my café.

I'll gladly take it, then.

Still…

Eun-o.

"No, thanks. It's okay."

Let's skip this kind of argument.

Okay, then. I'll gratefully take it.

Great! I finally get to be free from Ji Eun-o.

Hey, I'll book a flight to Barcelona right away.

I was stuck here at this café because of you,

and I have so much money saved.

I'm a bit upset seeing you this excited.

Stay until the café closes for good.

Of course I will.

We better close it down soon.

I mean, the sooner you start remodeling it, the better.

Ms. Ji.

How long will you take to come up with a design?

I'll focus once the Suri-dong housing design meeting is done,

about a week will do.

But since it'll be our office building, tell me what you need.

A week?

Welcome.

Think of what you need and let me know.

- This way, please. - Sure.

A week…

This is the final floor plan with what we've discussed included.

The kitchen here will become a master bedroom.

The stairs to the attic next to it will be demolished

and a dressing room and bathroom. The living room will be expanded to here.

I can't wait to have an open kitchen in the living room.

My husband is so excited

that we'll have two bathrooms and a teahouse here,

- and even a space for a rental unit. - Oh, here?

I'll also pre-make a slant board

for you to install it in the entrance.

It'll allow you to go in and out easily if you use wheelchairs in the future.

What teahouse? Wheelchairs?

She looks so excited.

Soo-jung. Is my coffee ready?

Kyeong-su, proceed with this as soon as possible.

Wow, this is going so fast.

Then the company name will change.

We'll need to refresh our website too.

Mr. Cha, you're quiet, but your brain is super-fast.

Wait, the company name will change?

But I like the name, Mamdaero Zip.

That will stay the same.

But we have to make an operations company with a new logo.

We haven't been invested yet. Aren't you scared?

We'll get investments.

Anyway, hire new staff.

I'll be too busy with the investment deal and a showroom opening.

You can't handle it alone.

It's already too much.

I had nosebleeds!

Let's hire two more first.

Fine.

We're getting so many turnkey requests that we need a construction chief.

Let me prepare for the Series B funding

and work on the showroom first. Keep up the good work.

Okay.

Ms. Ji Eun-o's liver is in good condition and at the proper size.

Her vasculature has no issues either.

Does this mean she can donate her liver?

Yes, only if she agrees.

She'll say yes.

I believe my role ends here.

It's up to you from now on.

I know.

My life depends on it.

- You should tell her right away-- - Not yet.

It's not urgent, but you'd better hurry.

As you already know, revealing it right away won't do.

I need some more time.

I have other family concerns to manage.

Then let me know once you get her consent.

I'd like to know.

Sure, Director Yoon.

The donation for your hospital will be wired today.

I see.

EUNOISM JI EUN-O

Hello, Ms. Ko.

The weather is so nice lately.

There's an exhibition whose interior design is to my liking.

I'd like us to go there and talk a bit about work afterward.

Do you have time today?

Or tomorrow.

I'm sorry, Ms. Ko.

I've become busy with my work.

Oh, silly me. I was the one who said you could

focus on your other projects and take it slow with mine.

I forgot because of the weather.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to rush you, so please don't be bothered.

Okay, bye.

Goodness, that was hasty of me.

I knew impatience could trap me and I still made this mistake.

Snap out of it, Seong-hui.

Ms. Ko, Curator Kim So-mi is here.

Let her in.

A GARDEN WHERE YOUR HEART STAYS PERSONAL EXHIBITION

I like the poster. It came out well.

Please check the draft for the pamphlet. I revised it based on your feedback.

How is the promotion going?

I need a CEO's office, an office room for around six staff,

a meeting room, a pantry, a break area,

and a space to display materials.

What materials?

I'd like a sample room for our future general material showroom.

A general material showroom? This is sudden.

It's not sudden. Anyway, that's my plan.

Our company name will change too. Mamdaero Zip will be a subsidiary

and we'll have a space for you.

Doesn't it cost a lot to open a general showroom?

We'll get investments. When's the first draft ready?

I can have it done by the day after tomorrow.

Then see you in two days.

Bye.

He's like a goblin, or maybe Don Quixote.

He's suddenly opening a general showroom?

Why are you coming this way?

I was meaning to just leave,

but I just couldn't turn a blind eye.

What?

It's about your boyfriend.

My boyfriend?

Yes, I happened to see you celebrating his birthday

with that chocolate pie tower by the convenience store.

He's not my boyfriend. He's just a friend.

As if.

You have no friends in this neighborhood.

What if I said I got one?

See? Even now, you can't honestly say you have a boyfriend.

Whether it be his birthday or his girlfriend's,

why date a man who would celebrate it with you

at a mere convenience store? That's just wrong.

What's wrong with it?

A birthday party at a convenience store is a no-no.

You're not elementary school kids.

Please.

Find someone decent for yourself if you want to date someone.

I said he wasn't my boyfriend. You just don't listen.

It's the same even if he's just a friend.

A man and a woman can't be friends.

You should rather date Seong-jae.

What do you think you're doing here?

I said no, so take it at face value.

Why would I lie to you

that he isn't my boyfriend when he actually is?

And it's none of your business whether he's my boyfriend.

Whether I make a tower or cake with chocolate pies.

It was fun.

That's your problem. Your childish way of thinking.

- You're still so out of touch. - Jeez.

What are you trying to pull?

Look.

You know nothing about me. Who are you to patronize me about my privacy?

I'm not your sister.

You were once my junior!

Stop with your senior-junior talk. That relationship is long gone.

Don't cross the line.

Did you forget our conditions?

You and I are business partners.

Does one have a right to meddle with their business partner's privacy?

Do they or do they not?

Meddle with my privacy one more time,

and I won't let it slide.

Talk from a distance, punk.

"Punk"?

Did you just call me a punk?

Are you not going to break that habit?

My point is, beware of people, especially men.

Did you forget what I did to you? I'm just concerned.

Don't make the same mistake.

In just a few months, while I was away?

That's why he's dangerous.

Whatever.

My point is, beware of people, especially men.

Did you forget what I did to you? I'm just concerned.

He's concerned?

Who does he think he is?

He's acting like my guardian.

I didn't know you were this selfish.

That's what you think.

You may trust yourself, but I don't trust you.

I do not want to work with someone whom I don't trust.

I just want us to be like strangers.

Look, Ji Eun-o.

I may be a subject of lifetime hatred to you,

but you're just Ji Eun-o to me.

"Just Ji Eun-o"?

Does he not hate me?

One is bound to hate those who hate them.

Why is he worried about me after how much I pushed him away?

Gosh, it's so annoying.

So what if they had a birthday party there?

Why does she keep getting prettier?

She's scary.

She just wouldn't give me my senior title back.

Who can I blame, though?

Our eyes met when I was on the podium at the wedding.

A friend of mine recommended these shoes after his trip in Europe with his wife.

I see.

Are you planning on a trip too?

- Yes, we're going on a cruise. - A cruise?

A cruise isn't just about staying on a ship, right?

You get off at a port of call and walk around the city all day.

Comfortable shoes are a must.

My feet don't get sore, even after standing all day.

Are those from here too?

Yes. Will you pick a style yourself?

There are many kinds, so please pick a few for me.

Then…

How about this style?

What do you think?

They're cushy and comfortable.

- I'll take this pair. - Sure.

And a pair of what you're wearing.

I want them for my daughter.

Please bring them in a size 7.

This design is popular among young people. Your daughter will love them.

- I'll get you a new pair. - Okay.

Ms. Lee.

I heard you didn't give Mr. Shin your number and said no to a second date.

Why? You said he was your ideal type.

I'm done.

You really had just three bottles?

Told you so.

Let's split the bill.

What's with you? You're being absurd.

Are you really a member of the matchmaking agency?

You should know how rich I am.

Well, I'm capable enough to pay for the three bottles of beer I had.

Don't be silly and give me your number.

I'm not sure about that.

I need some time to think.

Why do you need time to think? Time to think about what, exactly?

About many things.

You're drunk. Ms. Lee, sit down.

- I'll call a chauffeur service. - No.

I've called a taxi.

- Goodbye. - What…

So what if he's my ideal type?

Ask Seong-jae to make a fake certificate of employment too?

I can't do that.

Still, it's a shame.

Life is so cruel.

Welcome--

How did you know I work here?

I asked the manager.

She gave you my personal information without permission? Why?

This is very unpleasant.

What if I'm not here to see you?

Look.

I'll take everything

from here to here in size 9.

Yes, sir. Let me go check.

Look. You can't do this here.

Why not? I'm paying for them.

Thank you.

Thank you.

LEE SOO-BIN

At this hour?

What's up, Soo-bin?

Seong-jae, I have a big problem.

Are you in your office? I need to discuss something with you.

I'm working overtime at the moment.

I have a lot left to do.

I'm at your company building. I'll go upstairs.

That guy must've watched quite a lot of dramas.

So, what's the problem? I think he's really into you.

No, it's a typical reaction.

I acted like I wasn't interested in him at all.

Men become competitive at a time like that.

You did that? Why?

Was it your strategy?

That's not it.

I expected a business card would do,

but the agency asked me to hand in a certificate of employment.

So I wasn't going to see him.

They asked for a certificate of employment?

Unbelievable.

So you acted like you weren't interested?

You brat. If that's the case,

you want to resign and focus on being a streamer. That will do.

What?

It was your plan anyway. You said it'd take just a month.

That was why you agreed to work for a month.

That didn't cross my mind.

LEE JI-HYEOK

It's Ji-hyeok.

Hi, Ji-hyeok.

Hi. Can we meet up tomorrow? I have something to tell you.

What is it all of a sudden?

It's about me.

Oh, really? What time?

Are you leaving work?

I figured you'd work all night, so got a coffee refill.

I'm going to go to my mom's restaurant.

All-nighters will start tomorrow.

Anyway, Eun-o,

what made you back so energetic and bright?

Are you excited to be swamped with work?

That's another thing.

I cleared up a misunderstanding with my mom.

What misunderstanding?

I'd never expected there'd be

any kind of misunderstanding between me and my mom.

But the unexpected problem with Kang-o

made it inevitable.

I guess everyone sees things differently.

Kang-o and I are both her children.

So, it's only natural that she can't do anything in the middle.

Turns out my insecurities kicked in.

Have you been keeping all that in?

Aren't my parents so admirable?

They're respectable.

But I've read that more affection

comes from raising a child over giving birth.

I guess that's true.

Anyway, Eun-o.

Have you never wondered about your birth parents? Or missed them?

No, never.

I assumed they had their reasons and got over it.

This is great, Eun-o.

Without an office for you to focus at,

you struggled in a corner of that café like a poor tenant.

I wouldn't say it was a struggle,

but I'm happy to have an office of my own.

Of course. I bet you are.

Why don't we have some barbecue to celebrate?

Wait. Did you marinate it yourself today?

You've been busy nonstop. I'm sure you've rarely had regular meals.

You just have no appetite.

Dad and Kang-o used to enjoy having this.

Mom, Kang-o is outside.

Don't go out.

What is Mom doing?

She really abandoned me?

Mom.

Still, Kang-o came all the way here.

Not yet.

He didn't come in on his own.

- Mom. - Be patient.

Did you forget what I said?

You're too tender-hearted with your family.

Don't be. From now on, put your own life first.

SPA 25

Dad.

Are you going out already? I have something to tell you.

What is it?

I know you work part-time at a convenience store.

Tell them you'll quit when you go to work today.

What?

I heard you two argue by coincidence.

I'll pay for the living expenses. Do as Mom said.

What did you just say?

Forget your pride on this one, Dad.

Studying for a few months isn't enough to pass the exam and get a license.

It's not easy to get a job either.

So, just focus on getting a license.

- I'll handle-- - Who do you think you are?

I'm the head of this family.

I am the head of this family.

It's my responsibility to support this family.

Who are you to pay for our living expenses?

Did you work part-time to support the family?

No, you didn't.

You're doing it for your pride.

Can you make a quarter of your income before retirement

by working part-time a few days a week?

You can't give Mom the full amount anyway.

That's none of your business.

I have my severance pay left. The one that you refused to take.

I passed the written test in one go.

I'll do the same with the performance test.

Even if you get a license,

you may not find a job right away.

You can't make a fixed amount.

Work part-time to make pocket money.

I'll give Mom a fixed amount.

Get out, punk!

How dare you sneakily crawl back in without permission

and act like you're the head!

When I'm alive and well?

I was going easy on you, and you're crossing the line.

I can't tolerate this, punk!

Get out, now!

I'm not moving out.

What?

I'll move out when it's time. But not now.

You won't?

Fine. Then I'll move out!

What is wrong with you?

Goodness. Let go!

Sang-cheol. What is going on?

Mom. I'm sorry, but I'm moving out.

Da-jung.

Aren't you going to stop him?

He couldn't be stopped even if I try.

I can't sleep, I'm so curious about what comes next.

It's an old comic, but it's so fun.

Why two issues at a time, though? It's a hassle.

I'll just rent all the issues. Tell your assistant and read them.

You mean, Artist Jang?

No, she'll tell my mom right away.

The assistant is your mom's spy?

You know what? Sometimes when I talk with you,

I feel like I'm in another universe.

"Just why can't a painter read comics?"

"Why can't she have any hobbies?"

I get endless questions about why.

But you don't know why.

That's because my mom--

It's very wrong for your mom to have control over your life.

She does it for my sake.

I should just keep my mouth shut. But then…

Gosh, it's frustrating.

Young-ra.

How your life turns out is your choice and responsibility.

Above all, is it wrong to read comics?

Do you actually believe so? You really do?

No, I don't think so.

Then do you have the right to read comics or not?

I think I do.

So why can't you tell your mom?

In case she scolds you? Are you afraid?

Look. Freedom isn't just granted.

You have to claim your rights.

What's the urgent matter?

Mr. Chairman.

The Italian buyer reached out and said they'd make branches in Europe.

Really?

But he was skeptical until he left Korea.

I know.

In any case, he's agreed to discuss when to visit Korea with me.

- With the same conditions? - Yes, sir.

He's also said when we sign the contract,

he'd really like to meet Chief Director Park Seong-jae.

Is that so?

The café will be gone, and your company will move in?

That's right.

It's happening so fast, not to mention your general material showroom.

The idea started a long time ago, and I've been working on it.

You keep surprising me.

I didn't know I could be like this either.

What about the investment? Have you been working on it too?

Yes, I've made a business proposal and a list of investors.

The IR is in a few days.

So you did prepare a lot.

Figures.

You can really go after what you want when you put your mind to it.

If you let me use your company lounge anytime I want, I'll invest in you too.

- What? - You know,

I'll feel a big void without the café. It's been my playground.

How much can you invest?

The scale is quite big, Seong-jae.

Send me your investment proposal when it's ready.

Okay.

I can't wait.

Don't bother getting excited about my proposal,

and look, Seong-jae.

You're getting your hopes up without knowing Eun-o got a boyfriend.

What are you talking about?

She has a boyfriend?

That's ridiculous.

I saw him.

- You saw him? - Yes, I did.

So if you want to go for her, do it right. She says he's just a friend,

but she'd never make a birthday meal just for one guy.

Make sure you know what's going on.

Hello, Mr. Park.

Do you have a minute?

Well, no.

What's up? I'm a little busy now.

I see.

Eun-o. Did you perhaps get a boyfriend?

Ji-hyeok said he saw him.

I know it's your privacy,

but I believe we're close enough to ask that.

Oh, Mr. Early…

I told him we were friends.

You even threw a birthday party for him.

I'm lost for words.

He told you such a thing?

Out of concern, you know.

Does he still think I'm 21 or something?

So, is he just a friend?

If I ever get a boyfriend,

I'll introduce him to you and Soo-jung first before anyone else.

Do ask before you go out with someone. I'm worried.

I'll leave you to your work.

- What did she say? - Should I just…

They're just friends.

Are you sure?

She said if she got a boyfriend, she'd introduce him to me first.

Why to you first?

That's up to her.

Stop being so protective of her.

I stopped that a long time ago.

They're just friends?

That's a relief.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Have a good day.

It's time to restock, restock, restock.

It's time to restock.

MISSED CALLS KIM DA-JUNG

A GARDEN WHERE YOUR HEART STAYS

Invitations will be delivered to your company tomorrow.

Our daughter is finally making her debut.

Send me some posters and pamphlets too.

I'll have them up and available in the company.

That could make the exhibition too crowded. It won't be good for her.

It'll show that her dad is using his influence.

Oh, you think?

The curator is promoting it to the public already.

I hope we'll have a lot of VIP guests.

I'm home.

Hi, Young-ra. You must be exhausted.

Why are you home so early?

I was scared.

Scared of what?

An unknown reporter suddenly came and knocked on the door. It stunned me.

I was too scared to open the door, so I just told him to go away.

A reporter?

You should've called for Ji-wan. Maybe it was that stalker again.

Let's go upstairs and talk.

Don't worry about it, honey.

You have a breakfast meeting tomorrow. Go to bed early.

Why did you say that in front of your dad?

I told you to let me know first.

I'm sorry. It was unintentional.

Did you say it was a reporter?

Reporters pay a visit for a reason.

Didn't it sound like that stalker?

No.

He said he heard about it from some gallery.

Was Artist Jang with you?

It was when she was in the bathroom.

Gosh, that could've been bad.

What do I do if a reporter suddenly comes and asks

- for an interview? - Say no.

Who spread unnecessary rumors?

This won't do.

Until the exhibition, I better have Artist Jang paint at home

and bring the paintings at night.

Okay.

Get some rest.

My gosh. I lied to my mom.

Park Young-ra. So smoothly, at that.

No, not effortlessly.

I'm a Web comic artist, so I was improvising.

Now, I get to read all the comics.

What, 50,000 won?

- This is a no. - What?

- Mr. Early. - Oh, Ms. Ji.

- It's Spring. - Oh, right. Spring.

Ms. Spring, what brings you here at this hour?

I'm here to celebrate something over a can of beer.

I've decided on the office-sharing.

Anyway, what's that bag?

This?

I had a big argument with my son.

I was so angry that I said, "Get out, or I'll move out."

He should've at least acted like he was getting out.

Of course. Didn't he?

Guess what he said.

He said, "I'm staying here."

What else could I do?

So you packed up and left home?

Well, yes. I packed up and left home.

But I should go home… Gosh.

No, no, no. I should sleep out at least for a day.

I'm looking for a dry sauna.

You're right.

You ran away from home because your son crossed the line.

You should sleep out at least for a day.

Is there a dry sauna nearby?

There's one on that side, but it's under construction.

I can let you sleep over for a day.

Excuse me?

You have a place to sleep.

Wait. This place seems like a café.

My office is on this side.

Come this way.

I didn't mean to trouble you this much.

It's a waste to pay for the room or go to a dry sauna far away.

This may seem like a storage,

but someone used to live here and use it as his office.

I also slept here when I pulled an all-nighter.

You slept here?

Yes. I slept on a camping mat in here.

Then this is a luxury for me.

You can shower in the men's bathroom and get water from the water purifier.

No one will be here until you're off to take classes tomorrow.

Please sleep at ease.

I didn't expect to get help from a friend.

Come on. What are friends for?

I'll get going now. Rest up.

Thank you. Bye.

Gosh, I guess this is much better than a dry sauna.

I get to be alone.

The phone is turned off. You'll be directed to voice mail.

Dad's phone is still off.

Maybe he's really mad.

He's only slept out when he had a business trip.

Where can he sleep over?

Da-jung, didn't you hear me?

I did, Mom.

But I can't give you an answer.

I have no idea as to where he is.

What if he ran away from home for real?

What do we do

if he doesn't return unless Ji-hyeok moves out?

Ji-hyeok.

It seems Dad is not coming home.

Why did you have to argue with him?

Ji-hyeok, did you try calling him?

No.

Goodness, you heartless brat.

Your father packed up and left home because he was mad at you.

Aren't you even worried?

Come on, Grandma.

He'll come home tomorrow for you.

He even packed up when he left. He can't bring himself to return today.

That's impossible for men.

He's right. I'm sure he wants to see it through.

He'll be back tomorrow. Don't worry, Mom.

Your dad has never slept out before.

Aren't you too unbothered?

It's not a big deal for a man to sleep out.

And he isn't one to do something stupid outside.

So don't worry, Mom.

What if he doesn't come home tomorrow? Shouldn't you move out, then?

I'll move out, then.

"Crawl if you must to climb over the mountain."

Someone desperate must've stayed here.

Ji-wan. Let's hurry.

Artist Jang isn't coming as of today.

What?

Drop me off and go straight to rent all the issues for me.

Your assistant isn't coming?

Why?

It worked out that way.

Does this mean you get to be alone in the workroom?

Young-ra, congratulations.

You finally have a space where you can breathe freely.

Gosh, this is so satisfying even for me.

I better go sing a little in a while.

- Sing? - You don't know

how nerve-wracking it has been for me

to rent two issues for you each time.

I'm going to go release that stress.

I see.

Hey, Young-ra.

How have you released your stress so far?

You drew your Web comic in secret.

Stress…

I didn't know I had any.

She's seriously as good as brainwashed.

Have you been to karaoke?

Never mind. What's the use in asking?

It's for sure

My love for you

Is unconditional

My love for you

Is special and limited

Get up!

I'll swim across the Pacific, the Atlantic

And even the Indian Ocean If you ask for me

Your classes end at 3:00 p.m.

- Are you here to get me? - No.

I came to save your face in case you're too embarrassed to return.

Why can't I go back? It's my home.

Then why did you pack up?

I packed a day's worth.

You're ridiculous.

You thought I'd neglect my mom and sleep out for more than a day?

It was very unusual of you to even pack up,

so I assumed you'd take at least a week

and make your mom worry about you.

You can't read your husband even after 30 years of marriage?

I took a day off for nothing.

Aren't you coming?

Wait. You aren't in a place to raise your voice at me.

You lied to me, fought with our son and ran away from home.

I'm barely holding out for Mother.

I told you everything on my mind yesterday.

And I'll never quit my part-time job.

You need to focus on studying, get a performance license,

and find a job to be able to support our family.

Only then, you can support me.

I'm telling you to focus only on studying until you get a license.

You hate that idea too?

Give me some slack until the upcoming performance test.

If I fail, I'll do as you say.

Let me do as I want until then.

And don't ever take any money from Ji-hyeok.

Seong-jae, I'm sending you the investment proposal.

Read it carefully before you make a decision.

I'm done with the first draft.

Please come to the café.

I don't want to see her face.

Email me, please. I'm busy.

You're acting weird again.

You obviously know meetings are the bare minimum.

If you're busy, I'll come to you.

This first design doesn't change much of the current structure.

The space near the main entrance will be the showroom.

I'm thinking of making a pantry by demolishing this counter bar

and separating the space along the kitchen line.

This will be the staff office. Here will be the CEO's office.

The kitchen will be changed to a sleeping room

and a mini shower booth will be installed in the bathrooms.

Only this side will be for you?

Yes.

The storage room will be my new office,

and my current office will be a meeting room.

I'll install partition walls or glass walls instead of curtains.

The back entrance is on this side,

so later, when I go independent,

I can make an entrance for the Eunoism office.

No, that's not what I mean.

Why is the sleeping room only in my office and not in yours?

There's no need to discuss that.

Just tell me what you think about your office space.

No, we must discuss the basics first.

Up to here can be your office space.

No, that's unnecessary.

You'd often work all night before I moved in.

Are you going to keep sleeping on the cold floor with just a mat?

That's none of your business.

I can get myself a folding bed too.

No.

Excuse me?

I want to be the kind of business partner who respects his business partner.

We may not be business partners after three months.

Stop burdening me.

You think I'll only be business partners with you?

What makes you think

you'll be my only business partner for the turnkey service?

Once our partnership is over,

this will become an office for Eunoism. You know that.

We've agreed on it with Hyun-soo.

All of us together.

Just tell me what you think about your office space.

Then that's even worse.

It can't be changed by that time.

Use up to this space, and the rest will be for my company.

Please change the design accordingly.

If I use this much space,

you won't have enough space

for the CEO's office, staff office, meeting room,

pantry, lounge, and most of all, mini showroom.

Try again. That's the rule.

What is wrong with you? I said I'm okay.

I'm not okay.

So, why?

- Because I feel uncomfortable. - Why would you?

You have no reason to feel uncomfortable when I'm okay.

Whatever. Unless my opinion is incorporated,

I won't approve your design.

I won't incorporate it.

What do you mean you won't? I am your client.

You're ridiculous.

I said no. I said I'm good!

Why are you not okay? Just why?

What on earth is wrong with you?

I don't know! I don't know what's wrong with me!

Maybe I like you or something!

You didn't move out.

I said I wouldn't.

Father? Father!

I met my love there, and we had pretty children.

Bananas used to be my daughter's favorite.

- Anyway, someone's here. - Who?

He's being ridiculously unreasonable.

He's fickle, unforgivably so.

He's the one who made a slip of the tongue.

Mr. Lee, pull yourself together. Are you okay?

Don't help me. Eun-o, don't be nice to me.

Don't get me confused.
