(Episode 6)

Hey.

Hey, are you really sure I don't have to go?

There's no reason for you to come.

All you'd do is just grab the contract anyway.

I'll just sign it on the spot.

All right, got it. Call me.

Okay.

Didn't his career end after some fraud scandal?

Really?

He didn't seem like the type to scam people.

He seemed like such a nice person.

You're so hopelessly naive.

Just look up "Sunwoo Hae fraud case."

No, you jerk. Darn it.

Oh, that's right.

Did they take down that old video?

I saw it, you know. The kid didn't even cry. Stone-cold.

Yes, but even that seemed like an act to me.

Gives you the creeps, doesn't it?

He has to know, right? That he's why his mom died.

It's all in the past. Just give it a rest.

Why are you all stooping so low?

You should focus on your own career instead of minding others' business.

You can't even handle your one actress.

- Why you little... - That's enough. Stop it.

- I said stop! - Let me go.

Knock it off!

Ouch!

What? Ouch!

What was that?

I never had a sponsor.

And the fraud was committed by the jerks using my name.

And I'm the one who worked to pay for it.

And my mom... I...

I know darn well I'm the reason she's dead.

Get your hands off her, you punk.

Let's go.

What are you doing here?

Geon No said he was coming.

You...

You heard everything, didn't you? From the start?

If you heard all that, then why...

Why would you just stand there and listen?

From now on, just ignore anything you hear about me.

Don't waste your energy on pointless things.

Pointless?

How could you say that's pointless?

I mean, don't engage with every little thing.

People are going to talk no matter what.

What good will it do for you to get down in the mud with them?

Well, I'm getting in the mud.

And if I'm in, I'll fight until I'm black and blue. Got a problem?

Why do I feel like I'm the only one overreacting?

Then what am I supposed to do?

What, should I act happy about it?

Seeing you get insulted for no cause and treated so horribly...

The woman I like is going through this because of me.

Because I've seen how you've lived, and I know you.

You've worked so hard.

I just hated seeing you humiliated like that.

What is all this commotion?

Our guests will be here any minute. What in the world is going on?

Explain.

Dong Jun grabbed Je Yeon's collar,

and that's when Sunwoo Hae walked in.

- Sunwoo Hae? - Yes.

I can't believe them...

Sung Je Yeon.

Han Dong Jun. You two...

I'm here for the publication rights.

The original author's approval.

You said you needed it.

You were the representative?

So that's why the name was...

That's impossible.

That's right.

I was the one using that name.

Did you know?

That Sunwoo Hae is actually Jin Mu Yeong?

Am I just supposed to stand here?

Sorry things are a bit of a mess for your first visit.

Why don't we talk in my office?

This way. I can show you...

The signature.

Do I have to sign today?

I'm not really in the mood.

I'm not the one in a hurry.

I think I'll head out for today.

You're leaving?

The other party's name on the contract.

Correct it before you leave.

- Yes. - And the meeting date.

Reschedule it for as soon as possible.

You, just get out. I can't stand the sight of you.

Sunwoo Hae!

I'm heading out.

See you after your meeting.

Gosh.

You just suck the life out of me.

Go on.

Hey, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Please, just go.

(Jin Mu Yeong, Real name, Sunwoo Hae)

Are you sure you're okay?

Yes.

Oh, you have a nosebleed.

Oh, come on.

I bet he was pretty upset earlier, too.

It's not like I just stood by because I agreed.

Since when are you so chummy with him?

Next time you see him, be sure to tell him that.

To his face.

You're still here?

The CEO didn't say anything else?

Let's talk on the way out.

We have to reschedule the meeting.

Hey, let me see. The spot where you...

Stop, I'm serious.

It's so humiliating, for real.

Why?

What is?

Do you think I like being seen like that?

That I don't feel humiliated?

Getting grabbed by the collar and all.

I was already upset, and then you had to start in on me.

This is driving me nuts.

You were really annoying.

Pointless, you say?

Yes.

Why are you laughing?

Why are you hugging me?

Real smooth, aren't you?

Hold still.

Your face is so puffy, I could see it from a mile off.

Here, hold this against it.

Just stay still.

No, I'll do it.

All right.

So, when do you want to have the meeting?

If you can't come to the office, we can work with your schedule.

- Just make sure you sign. - Don't worry, I'm going to.

With that much money on the line?

And while I'm at it...

I might make them sweat a little.

You are something else.

Hey! If you mess with them, I'm the one who gets burned!

- Hey! You... - What?

Hey, don't use your hands.

Gosh.

- No. It's fine. - Hold on.

Yes. Here.

Here.

Stop treating me like a gorilla!

You know...

Wouldn't a gorilla be calmer than you?

You just couldn't resist, could you?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

So...

All that gossip from my co-workers.

You're not going to keep dwelling on it, are you?

Well, once the show airs,

I figure that's how they'll talk.

When I was a kid,

I'd get in trouble with my mom for secretly watching you on TV.

What?

There have to be other people like me out there.

You know something?

It's like you haven't changed at all, you know?

Still carrying that heavy bag,

and how you charge head first into everything.

You're living life on the straight and narrow.

Exactly.

I really am on the straight and narrow.

It's the world that's crooked.

So just keep doing what you did today.

- Like what? - Clearing yourself of fake charges.

And getting payback for me when I get hit.

All right, let's try this again.

Signal on.

Check your side mirror.

Okay.

Oh, look, the car behind is waiting for you.

- Okay, now. - Now?

- Now? Right now? - Yes, now!

- Gosh! - Gosh!

Are you just going to drive straight forever?

We're going to end up on the freeway at this rate!

I can merge at the next opening.

It's not like it's my last chance.

Come on, I thought you signed up for driving school.

If you're going to drive like that, go practice there!

Instead of working three jobs,

focus on your driving!

Did it ever occur to you that you're the one distracting me?

Are you taking a bad day out on me or something?

You know what?

Don't even bother getting your license.

I can't stand the thought of someone like you on the road.

What do you mean, "someone like me?"

You can talk after you teach me properly!

How much better can I possibly teach you? Seriously!

Hey, eyes on the road! For crying out loud!

Hey, Son.

This is kind of...

Why's he here again?

So, I heard you stopped by the house.

Oh, for goodness' sake.

Are you really becoming Seok Joo's little lackey?

Seok Joo's a total weirdo, don't you think?

Don't say that. Seok Joo's a nice guy.

Hey, by any chance,

- my old photo albums... - Yes?

No, never mind. No way you'd have them.

What are you talking about? I have all your old albums.

Your mom treasured those things like they were sacred.

I'll...

Deliver them to me, or use a courier.

I'll use a courier service.

This thing... Would you look at this?

I'll send it by courier. Okay, bye!

Hi, I have a delivery.

That'll be five dollars, please.

Got some free time?

Didn't you say you were starting some publishing company or whatever?

Well...

I just finished a deadline, so things are slow right now.

That's not what I mean.

Gosh, this is ridiculous.

This photo album...

So...

this album...

Even when I was really...

Even when I had nowhere to live and was scraping by, you know?

I left it with someone I trusted.

I always made sure to get it back.

These photos.

These are irreplaceable moments.

Right.

I guess it was cheaper to get the album back than your kid.

Listen, if Seok Joo bothers you again, you tell me.

I'll go set him straight, you hear?

I'll go and teach him a lesson he won't forget.

Just because he's her son... There's a limit to what I'll allow.

I'm leaving!

Okay.

So, no flower for me?

Fine.

I'm off.

(Sunwoo Hae)

Where could Sung Je Yeon be?

Do you really...

have to get your license?

We need to stop at a gas station on the way.

He said to return it with a full tank of gas.

I can't even get mad anymore.

Where are we supposed to return it?

Aren't you cold?

Hey.

How long have you been standing there?

Why are you here?

For a while now.

It's just, you know...

My brother told me to return his car here.

Though I have no idea where "here" is.

Who are you? This is Nu Ri's house.

Je Yeon.

We need to have a little talk.

- But, it's too risky here. - Risky?

Let's go somewhere less conspicuous.

What? Wait. Where are you taking me?

You'll keep this a secret, right?

I'm telling you, he'll tear me to shreds.

Is Sunwoo Hae the type of guy to make a fuss about someone dating?

He didn't even say anything about my grades being a mess.

You think he'll just let this slide too?

I'm a little hesitant to say this, but...

if your grades are terrible and you're dating on top of that,

isn't he the type to lump it all and blow up about everything?

You don't sound very hesitant.

Anyway...

- Who are you, really? - She and my brother are a thing.

A "thing?"

Gosh, he's actually seeing someone?

A "thing..."

He's not really the type. I thought he'd call it a waste.

Wait a minute.

Did you just criticize my brother?

No, I respect him for being so thrifty.

Hold on.

It's nothing, really, but...

Here you go.

Treat yourself to something nice.

Thank you.

When an adult gives you something...

My brother said to say, "Thank you" and accept it.

You did the right thing.

Lunch was good here, wasn't it?

Yes.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for the meal.

According to the contract, at the end of this month,

Your term is set to expire. You're aware of that, right?

Yes.

I...

In the garden you've so carefully tended,

do I belong?

What could be the problem?

I've given it a lot of thought.

You're the one who taught me all of these wonderful things.

You've done so much for me and taught me everything, but...

I guess I just wasn't good enough.

Well...

You've clearly given this a lot of thought, haven't you?

So...

are you in talks with any other agencies?

If not, I can make some calls for you.

Oh, no, that's all right.

Just you offering...

is enough. Thank you.

All right.

As for your next project...

it's an awkward time to be choosing one.

You must've worn yourself out reading scripts for nothing.

Not at all.

Please give them my regrets.

I will.

Ever since you were this little,

I'd hug you when you cried, and comfort you and send you to shoots.

There was a time I was more devoted to raising you than my own children.

You've worked so hard all this time.

Yes.

You have, too.

Oh my gosh.

Hey, aren't you Tae Rin?

I'm sorry, who...

What? You don't remember me?

I took such good care of you back in high school.

Oh, are you Hye Bin?

Yes!

Gosh, what a surprise running into you.

You're on social media, right?

I recently started my own enzyme supplement business.

We should go get a coffee or something.

I'm so sorry,

but let's do it next time. It'll be my treat.

Oh, you're busy.

Then again, even back in the day,

you were so busy you could hardly ever make it to school.

No, it's not that.

It's just the state I'm in right now...

Could you please let go?

Oh, my.

Who made her cry?

It wasn't me.

Hey, why are you making this so awkward for me?

No, I...

All right, that's enough.

Pretend to wipe your tears and hide your face.

You need to cry some more, don't you?

You can just go that way.

What are you giving me now?

Coffee, cigarettes,

and a handkerchief.

With all this, is he really not hitting on me?

Excuse me?

I'd appreciate it if you just went on your way.

No, I was just...

Gosh, this is so annoying.

Hitting on you?

Me?

What's with her? Why is she being so nosy?

Oh, right. My bag.

My bag.

Can I have it back, please?

Why do you keep crying?

What, you want me to think about it and get back to you?

About why I keep crying?

Yes.

Here's my business card.

You can let me know when you have an answer.

You're so weird.

Look who's talking.

Knock yourself out.

That you went out of your way to follow me and say that...

is what's really weird.

That day,

I thought we had a pretty good vibe on the rooftop.

"We?"

"Good vibe?"

Just be straight with me.

That way I'll know how to act around you.

You left your bag behind, so I picked it up for you.

And I'm offended you think I'm hitting on you.

No, that's not what I meant by "be straight with me!"

Look,

whenever a guy approaches me, I just assume he's hitting on me.

I assume he has an ulterior motive.

Sure, at first they say it's just kindness or goodwill.

But in the end, they all want the same thing.

Why would you be any different?

Seems like you're feeling a little better now.

- That's a relief. - Hey!

Are you messing with me right now?

I'm not.

Oh, so we're talking informally now?

You're so condescending.

I mean, if you were just honest, it might at least be cute.

Why do you keep upsetting me?

I'm already feeling down as it is!

Condescending...

If I did have ulterior motives...

If I were hitting on you, would you be less upset?

What, so if I wasn't upset,

were you just going to say you had no ulterior motives?

Why are you twisting things?

No, I actually don't have any.

If I did, I wouldn't be doing this either.

No, my point is,

why even ask if I'd be less upset?

You need to be less upset.

You have to calm down for us to have a conversation.

I was just trying to get you to calm down.

Hey.

You.

If you fall for me, you're dead meat.

What? As if I...

Why would I...

Oh, hey.

- Hey. - Yes?

Does Mo Tae Rin come here often?

Oh, hey.

Here.

Take this back to your parents' place for me.

Put it somewhere out of sight.

(Sunwoo Hae)

So this was the favour you wanted to ask.

Here.

I went on a blind date,

and she gave me this. She said her hobby is pottery.

A blind date?

Oh, it's beautiful.

- She made this? - She bought it.

You can return the favour sometime. I'll be in touch.

Hey, if this is about Mo Tae Rin, she doesn't come here often.

That wasn't the favour I had in mind, though.

I'm off.

Hi, Bebop!

Hi, Beat!

Can you pay my taxi fare?

Seok Joo went that way. Go ask him to pay.

What? When?

Is that what Kim Seok Joo said? That there was something between us?

Tell him he's dreaming!

I'd rather not have known.

You go tell him yourself.

Excuse me, you need to pay the fare.

Oh, right. Just a second.

Hey!

What are you doing? Hurry up.

Seriously.

What are you doing, just showing up here?

Keep the change.

- All right, thank you. - Thank you.

Are you even allowed to eat this?

I thought you were on a diet.

Oh, the shoot's over. I'm jobless right now.

But is the shop always this slow?

Well, since you're here, why don't you buy something?

Sung Je Yeon said you buy flowers all the time.

You're right.

She used to buy them for me most of the time.

Why did I take it all for granted?

Wait, you talked about that with Je Yeon?

I've been walking on eggshells, I couldn't even reach her.

Oh, Seok Joo gave me this.

His blind date gave this to him. Here, have some more.

Why are you telling me this?

It's not like I'm telling you specifically.

After all these years, the only thing I've improved at...

is reading people, not my acting.

A blind date?

I can't speak for your acting,

but you've surely gotten taller.

Are you mocking me because I've never won an acting award?

Why would I bother to mock you? Do you have a victim complex?

What does a retiree know?

I've been acting for ten years longer than you have.

Hey, I debuted first.

Look at you, talking so casually to your senior.

Aside from the legendary veterans, I'm basically the most senior actor.

How should I address you then, my esteemed senior?

You can talk down to me all you want.

Just please buy some flowers, customer.

How can you not buy a single thing? Unbelievable.

Here.

What?

Give this back to Kim Seok Joo when he comes by.

Oh, okay.

What?

What? Was I supposed to figure out a way to say no?

I don't know.

I said I don't know either! Gosh!

I'm just so confused today.

Can't you just go?

Seriously.

Fine, I'll go.

Can I borrow 50 dollars?

(Your checkup is scheduled on Wednesday)

Hey, what's with the face?

I said "borrow," not "have."

Welcome.

- Oh, what's that? - Squid.

- Thank you. Have a good day! - You too. Come again.

Excuse me, how much is this?

Four for ten dollars.

This is salty.

Here, drink some water.

Hey, what are you...

Take it easy today. Those tests were pretty strenuous.

Okay, I will.

Thank you.

Thanks for everything.

She's about to lose it.

Here you are.

Gosh.

Got it!

Here you go.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Say thank you.

Want some?

Can I?

It turned your teeth pink. Let me see.

Okay.

Yes, they are.

Sweet.

Go right!

Watch out for the glass!

My hand is stuck! Gosh.

Okay, I'm free. Seriously.

What did you buy?

Wait a minute.

What is it?

Didn't you just hear something outside?

What sound?

I thought your dad already passed by...

Get back! Hide!

Over there! Quick!

Hey, get down!

Quiet.

Okay, the coast is clear. Let's go.

Let's go.

No footsteps. Quietly...

Over there, hurry up!

Oh, gosh.

Gosh!

What?

(Sunwoo Hae)

What's this doing here?

What are you doing in the kid's room?

Well...

You scared me.

You just got here?

We were supposed to get breakfast this morning, remember?

I'm starving.

Okay, let me stash this real quick. Wait for me outside.

All right. Hide it well and come on out.

Okay.

Gosh, that made me jump.

I guess Mom's off work now.

You really need to get your intel right.

Seriously, what kind of company makes its CEO pull an all-nighter?

Hey! My hand.

Just grab a bite and hit the sauna.

Seriously!

If you ever put in the wrong address for a delivery again, I swear...

I love you, brother.

Wait, why are we hiding again?

So what then?

Should we just march over and say hello?

- Just stay still. - Let's just stay put.

By the way, what were you hiding earlier?

Oh, an old photo album.

I was worried you'd be upset if you saw it...

I've been in a bad enough mood this whole time as it is.

Because you don't like Hae's mom.

Hae's mom's name was...

Mu Yeong, wasn't it? Jin Mu Yeong?

If only we hadn't gone to that backwater town back then,

my life never would have gotten tangled up with yours.

Are we really going to dredge up all this old stuff right now?

"Dredge up?"

The part where you dump women often and abandon your own kid?

We haven't even gotten to that part yet.

Come on.

That's pretty harsh for this early in the morning.

When you say things like that, it's genuinely upsetting.

It was a fated connection for its time.

Oh, "a fated connection for its time?"

That's a fancy way to put it.

Why didn't you wait for me back then?

Was Hae's mom that great?

Listen...

After you left for Seoul back then without a single word,

I had a really hard time, too.

I couldn't just wait for you forever...

and waste away in that seaside town.

But I came back to you in the end, didn't I?

You told me to come back if I was ever unhappy, so I did.

Come back?

You never came back after what happened to his mother!

Oh, for goodness' sake.

You really don't hold anything back, do you?

Look, that was just a tragedy.

I needed comfort.

And you're not that kind of person for me.

Then what am I to you?

What exactly am I to you?

Do you even love me at all?

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you.

So why on earth am I still in love with you?

Sometimes I just don't get it.

You still let your emotions get the best of you around me.

You just start yelling.

Being with me takes you back to when you were young, doesn't it?

Back when we were passionate.

You still haven't moved on from that time.

I'm going to stay somewhere else for a while.

Get back here!

Hey, Sunwoo Chan!

I'll finish moving this.

Go on inside.

You know...

He didn't just show up on his own. I asked him to...

come and help me with something.

I wasn't trying to ruin your mood by having him over.

Have you eaten?

- What about you? - Come on, I booked us breakfast.

Seriously, where on earth did I put it?

Oh, my gosh!

Good grief.

I don't know what she sees in him.

Why isn't she looking forward?

- Hello. - Oh, hello.

Here.

I had some extras again today.

Oh, here you go again.

You really don't have to.

You didn't let me pay for ice cream last time either.

If you keep doing this,

I'll have to stop accepting things from you.

They're going to wilt soon anyway, so please, don't worry about it.

Hey!

Yes?

Well, I'll get going. Take care.

Gosh.

Is he just really shy?

When is he ever going to confess his feelings?

You don't get it?

He's giving them to every neighbour to hide that they're really for me.

He's not my type, though.

- Ouch. - Just toss the rest of the flowers.

Isn't it a hassle every single time?

You keep giving them away for free. Yes, that'll bring in customers.

And if you do something like that, I bet your hair will be ripped out.

I'd bet money on it.

Yes, you're right.

The thought of Sa Rang doing that really upsets me.

I'd rip all his hair out.

Sa Rang as in love? With whom?

- A boyfriend? - No.

No, it's just, you know...

A future love, I guess?

Our Nu Ri needs to find someone someday.

- I'm popular, you know. - Oh, really?

No, really, you have no idea.

Take that back. Right now.

Hey, you didn't say you were coming over today.

What?

Wait, how did you even find my place?

Pardon the intrusion.

What's this?

No, seriously. What brings you here all of a sudden?

Oh, this...

Since it's my first time here, this is for you.

- What? - And...

this is something to snack on during our review session later.

Since they're for a student, I made sure to get healthy options.

Why didn't I even think of that?

That's what I'm here for.

You're something else, you know?

You're so thoughtful and detailed. Not what I'd expect from you.

Must be in my nature.

Right!

Oh, I forgot to get coffee.

Don't worry, I was just about to brew some coffee.

Anyone watching would think they're a married couple with a kid.

Ouch, it's hot!

Hey, are you okay?

It's not hot.

What?

Why didn't it boil?

Hey, it's not even plugged in.

Why wasn't it plugged in?

Are you a dummy?

You...

- You should go. - What?

You being here...

I'm all nervous. Go home.

Go on.

Hurry up and go.

That was surprisingly cute.

Oh, what am I even saying?

Oh, that book...

Where did you get this?

It was really hard to track down.

It's been out of print for a long time.

An autograph...

Could you sign it for me?

An autograph...

Sure.

("Waegeum")

Here you go.

Gosh!

Gosh, this is incredible.

So, how did you end up submitting your debut novel?

I was eating ramen and using a book as a pot stand,

and I saw an ad for a writing contest in it.

It offered prize money if I won, so I sent in my manuscript.

- I kind of hate you right now. - Why?

It was the first thing you ever wrote?

And you didn't even enter the major contests?

I didn't even know those existed in the first place.

It's not like I ever wanted to become a novelist anyway.

Okay, now I really, really hate you.

Oh, come on.

By the way...

How long have you two been together?

Dating, I mean.

Was that too forward of me?

It's just that you look so good together.

We're just...

Yes, we're just friends.

The kind of friends who cringe when people say stuff like that.

- I see. - Just friends.

Right.

See? That's what I mean.

That gives me the chills.

Well, I'll be going.

And please tell the producer I said hello.

Okay, thank you. Goodbye.

Take care.

So...

So you came to suck up to the producer's daughter.

Well, a little of this, a little of that.

I'm going to take off.

I have to get back to the office.

Want a ride?

Someone's in a good mood.

Am I?

Meeting a fan has you on cloud nine, doesn't it?

You're half right, and half...

So, how far are you letting me take you?

To the ends of the earth?

This...

Is this really giving me a ride?

Well...

It is a little inappropriate.

I guess people aren't all that harsh on you after all.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm talking about that student, Yu Eun Ji.

I was just...

in it for the money when I wrote it,

But thanks to her, it feels meaningful now.

Hey, but...

How do you think she even got her hands on that?

- Oh, you mean your first book? - Yes.

Hey, speaking of that.

"My Beloved Gorilla?" What kind of title is that?

I mean, seriously.

And you say, "I wish the world were a bit more beautiful?"

Unbelievable.

You wish the world were more beautiful?

Who does? You?

You.

You're the one who wrote it.

I wrote that?

Seriously, all three were the same. Did you plagiarize it or something?

I don't know. I guess that's just how I was back then.

I don't remember.

Hey.

Just ask me for it.

I never have anyone in the passenger seat anyway.

You get to the office safely.

I'm going to take off from here.

This whole setup is pretty inefficient, don't you think?

You said you have to go back, so I can't ask you to hang out.

But I don't want to see you go.

Je Yeon!

What? Oh my gosh!

Oh, Sang Yeop.

Since when are we so casual?

I just like calling you that more than "Team Leader."

Still, people might get the wrong idea.

It wouldn't hurt to be careful, right?

The wrong idea?

Then who's this?

I saw him getting out of your car.

Don't tell me...

Your boyfriend?

No! It's not like that.

He's just...

a cast member.

Oh, the guy who's on that show with Tae Rin these days.

Hi, I'm Lee Sang Yeop.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Oh, it's fine.

By the way, did you do something different with your hair?

What?

Oh, no, my hair...

It looks really good.

What?

Well, this cast member will be on his way.

- Well, take care. - You head on in.

Are you heading to the office?

Yeah, the director summoned me about my military enlistment.

We have to set a date.

I see.

If you got your draft notice, you should hurry up and enlist.

You have to fulfil your duty to your country, don't you?

Go be a lifer for all I care.

Sir.

So...

The original author of "World Made of Ash."

We're coordinating a meeting date with him.

So I have to see that ugly face again.

Fine, whatever.

I'm putting you on leave. Go rest.

It's a "vacation," if you catch my drift.

Han Dong Jun is on suspension too, starting today.

For causing a scene at the company,

I'm sorry.

My personal feelings aside,

the way you threw a lifeline to everyone involved...

That was the right thing you did.

But he threw the first punch.

Six years.

My 1st vacation in 6 years. No...

More like a suspension, I guess?

This is lasting a long time.

Hello! I'm the new hire starting today.

I'm Choi Gi Ppeum!

I'm the only one here. You don't have to be so loud.

Got it!

The chairs haven't arrived yet.

Just grab an unopened box from over there and take a seat.

It's not like I'm standing here to look cool or anything.

Oh, Tae Rin would be perfect for this.

She'd know just how to sell a line like this.

All done.

What's next?

This newbie is clueless.

Oh, should I go get some coffee?

Now that's a great idea.

And get something for yourself too, if you'd like, Gi Ppeum.

Okay.

Grab a power strip, too.

Head!

No stray thoughts!

I'm trying not to!

Focus.

Last one!

Head!

What?

What are you doing here?

Beats me.

Gosh.

How much are you going to watch?

Let's see.

I...

As much as I want.

- Great work! - Great work!

Great work, everyone!

Oh, no...

Oh, come on.

Who snores during meditation?

I didn't say anything weird, did I?

I wasn't talking in my sleep, was I?

Just stop coming here.

How many times is that just this week?

We're all out of pain relief patches at the dojang because of you.

Unbelievable.

Maybe my mind is wandering because I'm not busy.

Yes, I'll make it nice and full. Thank you. Bye.

Okay.

Hi.

What's with the look?

It feels like I've been seeing you a lot lately.

Have we?

Seems like the plants change spots a lot, too.

That?

If a plant is in one spot too long, people think it's not selling well.

How would you know that? What, are you a mind reader?

Then go ahead and try reading my mind.

- Why would I? - Good point.

What was that about?

What did you do back when you got suspended?

What?

I mean, the vice principal suspended you, remember?

Kept you out of school for a week.

Oh, right.

But why bring that up now?

It's not exactly something to be proud of.

Because I just got hit with something similar.

I earned money.

Took on more construction jobs.

And did some package loading and unloading, too.

Oh, that place.

There was this one place with an amazing home-style meal.

I wonder if it's still around.

Did you go there often back then?

Not really.

If I stopped to eat, that meant less time to sleep.

That day, after my shift, I was about to crash,

but I was afraid I wouldn't wake up in time.

And it was my first day at my new school.

I basically pulled an all-nighter and got on the bus...

and, of course, I fell asleep on it.

So you just kept sleeping after you got here?

So you were watching me the whole time?

I was the class president.

I was trying to set an example. Imagine how annoying it was for me.

Gosh.

I need to get back to work. Will you keep distracting me?

What are you doing after this?

I've got a part-time shift at Geon No's.

And after that?

Go home and sleep, of course.

I see.

That suspension must have really hit you hard.

You've kind of lost it, haven't you?

Tell me about it.

Why am I even here?

Why are you looking at me like that?

How am I looking at you?

Why do this after you've rejected me?

Sung Je Yeon, karma will get you, you hear me?

Trust me, it already got me.

Yes, Director.

Go ahead. What is it?

I just hired a new person. What should I have him do?

Well, the company rules, document templates,

the company car policy... And stuff like that, you know.

What about experience? How many years does he have?

Experience? None.

Apparently, he just got back in the country.

I'm not even sure if he's graduated.

But you're supposed to hire someone with experience...

Excuse me. One bouquet, please.

What's the occasion?

You've never bought flowers before.

A mentor who was very special to me switched companies,

and it seems like they could use a visit.

Trying to make an impression?

Man or woman?

Why does that matter?

How long will it take? Are you going straight there now?

What, are you sad to see me go?

I ask all my customers the same thing.

Would you like a card to go with that, ma'am?

A woman, 30 minutes, going straight there. No card.

Gosh.

That wasn't like me.

All right. See you then, Mr. Accountant.

Take care.

Are you Ms. Bang Han Na?

Here.

Whatever the occasion, congratulations.

You know, this is the first time I've ever bought a bouquet myself.

Oh, my.

Where is it? Is this the place?

Gosh, this place is incredible.

What? Mo Tae Rin?

What are you doing here?

Hey there.

I'm the one who snuck her over.

You!

You traitors!

All that talk about conviction and faith...

You left spouting all those lofty words.

So, where's the new hire manual I asked for?

I emailed it to you.

You know I don't give this manual out to just anyone, right?

You're a lifesaver. Thanks.

So, how is it being the first guest at "The New Utopia?"

What about this is so "utopian?"

You said it yourself.

Instead of a company you have to work at,

the point is to build one that people want to work at.

Well...

The company name is a little...

I never thought it was strange, but...

It does sound a bit like a cult, doesn't it?

You're laughing? You think this is funny?

You should've run this by me...

if you were going to join a company like this!

What do you mean, "a company like this?"

Oh, right.

Tae Rin.

Take a look.

If you like it, I'll do what it takes to land it.

"Kongjwi and Patjwi?"

I worked so hard to get you into modern dramas,

and they want to stick her back in the Joseon era? Are you for real?

Actually, it's a modern crime drama.

When did you get so quick to jump to conclusions?

Snack delivery!

- Oh, is he... - A celebrity.

Gosh, a real celebrity.

Hello.

Say hi. This is our actress, Mo Tae Rin.

And my former co-worker, Sung Je Yeon.

It's nice to meet you.

Get out while you still can.

You're dead set on being a manager?

What are you talking about...

to a top talent from the prestigious University of Hong Kong?

I'm Choi Gi Ppeum.

This was the only place that offered me a job right away.

Around here,

they value driving skills more than your education.

What a shame.

Let me give you a hand.

Why is this here?

Because it looked like it belonged there.

It just felt right.

More like you didn't know how to throw it out!

Schedule a pickup, add a sticker, and they'll come get it.

So...

Should I look into a cleaning service, too?

First, we should probably ask the building management office.

All right, then, Gi Ppeum, you've got your first task.

I'll go check with the management office.

- Go ahead. - Okay.

He reminds you of when you were a rookie, doesn't he?

No, I was way quicker on the uptake.

Oh, come on.

I threw in a few extra stems.

Tell them we'd love to have their business again.

I wonder if he only sent them for the business.

Ms. Bang Han Na sent flowers.

Director.

That flower delivery, the one from when Tae Rin was on the radio...

The one you sent.

By any chance,

did you order from that shop on purpose?

What shop? I don't know. Why?

Fate is a funny thing.

So cruel, isn't it?

Why do I feel like I'm really being punished?

Normally,

I would've shaken it off after whining about being punished.

Hey.

Who are you talking to? You're kind of creeping me out.

That's what I'm saying.

I couldn't say a thing back.

Why is she being so weird?

But the shaman said there was nothing here.

Oh, what...

Hey, stop it! That's actually scary!

And another thing.

Didn't I tell you not to waste money on that shaman?

She was wrong about every single thing.

Then it must be here.

Hey, are you okay?

Let me see.

Are you hurt?

Yes, I'm fine.

- Thank goodness it's shatter proof. - I'm sorry.

No, it's fine, really.

(Please come to the hospital for the checkup results.)

Eight, nine, one hundred.

One, two, three, four.

I'd forgotten for so long...

what it feels like to have feelings for someone.

How do you "vanish into blackness?"

Is that some kind of poem?

Hi.

Hello.

I think I blew it.

Happy birthday, Mom.

I'm coming to see you tomorrow.

Can I tell her about you?

Hey, why even ask?

Of course, you should tell her.

What are you going to tell her?

I'm not telling.

Mom.

You...

will like her too.

Yes.

And you haven't had any related symptoms?

Like unusual fatigue...

or any loss of sensation?

I'm prescribing a new medication for you to take along with it.

The thing is, it's not covered by insurance...

Am I dying?

Amyloidosis is a very difficult and tricky disease.

There aren't many cases in Korea either.

When am I going to die?

Well, to put it bluntly,

we don't know if it'll be tomorrow or ten years from now.

I know how agonizing that must be.

If I...

ever got the chance to meet my 19-year-old self,

then...

I'd give her some major spoilers about the rest of my life.

"Have fun while you still can."

"This is what you should invest in."

"And dodge the day you get slapped."

What about you?

Me?

Well...

I'd probably just buy him a meal.

Hey, that makes me sound so shallow.

Come on, give him some spoilers too.

"At the end of the day,"

"life is one big gamble."

Good opening.

I'm not sure about the rest, though.

What's he going to think when he hears that?

Come on, dig a little deeper.

"Since it's a gamble,"

"some days you'll win an insane amount."

"And on other days,"

"you'll get completely wiped out."

(Congratulations on your graduation.)

(Sung Je Yeon)

Delivery for 505 in Building 102.

Oh, this looks great.

- Thanks. - Thank you. Take care.

(Rose, 1 dollar each)

"For you, most days..."

"will probably be about losing a lot..."

"and only winning a little.'

"But even so,"

"you're not going to bet on misfortune."

Not the you...

that I know.

What?

What did you tell your mom about me?

Did you badmouth me?

- What? - Well...

Bet you're wondering why I'm here.

Yes.

Getting excited?

You have to be. I know you are.

I...

I like you.

I see.

Now? Of all times?

Gosh.

Am I...

way too late?

I guess I'm a real jerk.

I shouldn't feel this good.

But the world

looks kind of beautiful right now.

(My Youth)

Let's make him think about just you.

You have to set the mood first!

What are you trying to do?

I have a plan.

What did you want to be, Tae Rin?

Hae wrote a book?

I'm going to die.

If this happens again,

the end will be like this.

Why are you doing this to me?

Let's stop seeing each other.

To you,

I mean just that much.
