[This drama is a work of fiction]

[Child and animal scenes were filmed safely under expert supervision]

[Any advice for someone trying to find their path?]

[Instead of trying to change yourself, change where you are]

Sir.

Yeah?

Well...

What if I applied for the Paris assignment?

I was just wondering.

I'm learning a lot here, but...

I wonder what it'd be like to work somewhere new.

I think you should.

Really?

Of course.

It's good to learn in a different environment.

And when employees grow, the company benefits too.

Go for it.

What about you?

Me?

Are you okay with it?

Of course.

Paris is only a flight away.

What?

Hey! You can't go.

You just got your first boyfriend.

What does Ha Gi say?

He must be freaking out.

He said he's fine with it.

- What? - What?

He told me to go to Paris.

Is he broken or something?

He seemed serious.

Trust me, I've done long distance.

You two will definitely break up.

Why?

Your boyfriend's the guy even CEO Han was after.

You think other women will leave him alone for that long?

Someone will snatch him up.

Exactly!

I heard women at work have confessed to him too!

[Let's Snatch Kang Ha Gi Away] Kang Ha Gi! Kang Ha Gi!

No. No way.

The more I think about it, the worse this sounds.

I love you, Da Reum.

I love you too.

- Hey! - You scared me!

What is this, some kind of ritual?

I'm hungry!

You've been frying dumplings all day.

Jeez...

You burned them all.

Why'd you tell her to go to Paris when you didn't mean it?

Hot, hot!

Listen up.

Dating is like fried dumplings.

When they're hot, you flip them.

When they need to cool, you leave them alone.

A little space keeps a relationship going.

One step back, two steps forward.

That's how a real pro does it.

Why did it have to be France?

Don't they kiss each other on the cheek over there?

I don't like that.

What, nervous already?

No.

You totally are!

Just be cool and let her go.

Don't be lame about it.

If you go, it's over.

You'll break up. For sure.

Giving her space is how you make it last.

Send her off with confidence. Go!

Absolutely not.

No!

- Go! - No!

- Go! - No!

[Final Episode]

Yes.

CEO Kang.

Did you see the letter from HAN today?

Not yet.

It's about their request for an employee transfer.

It says, "We strongly request Nam Da Reum."

[Request for Employee Transfer for HAN's Korea Launch]

[Requested Employee: Nam Da Reum]

We haven't asked Da Reum yet.

Ask her.

Sorry?

Tell them we'd be open to it if she's interested.

"Open to it?"

Yes. It's a good thing.

Employee growth. Company growth.

Growth for everyone.

Sir...

You're okay with this, right?

Of course.

Okay, then.

[Kim Min Woo] Hey! I just saw Choi Seong Wook here.

[Hand Car Wash]

At this rate, we'll never finish all three!

Pick up the pace!

Did you get this part?

You missed the wheel. Get that too.

- Mr. Choi! - Yes?

Stop working on that and clean the roof.

Yes, sir.

And put some muscle into it!

Yes, sir.

This is what you left for?

If you were going to do it, you should've at least cashed in.

Yeah... tell me about it.

Why didn't you pass the final deck to SE?

Because I'm an idiot.

I just couldn't bring myself to watch you go down.

Remember?

When we first got the APPELLO office?

We stayed up all night moving boxes.

When the servers went down, we practically lived at the office.

How could I pretend none of that ever happened?

What I did gave me some breathing room,

but I felt worse than ever.

What was wrong with me?

Maybe this is for the best.

What did that get you?

If you were going to betray me, you should've cashed in.

I still...

I hate you so much.

Yeah.

You should.

Ha Gi.

This wasn't your fault.

Me falling apart.

And it wasn't because you were doing well.

I just...

I hated myself.

I couldn't even root for you.

I hated myself for resenting you.

I couldn't live with that.

I'm sorry. I mean it.

And thank you.

For at least giving me a chance to explain myself.

Hey, Mr. Choi!

Can't you see we're busy?

Coming!

Ha Gi.

I'll always be grateful to you.

I should go.

[Overseas Assignment Application]

[HAN Maison Paris Headquarters]

I thought you'd be happy.

Why?

Because of CEO Kang?

He's already having a hard time because of Team Lead Choi.

I feel like I'm adding to his problems.

The timing isn't great.

But if you give it up,

will you be okay with that?

Think hard about what you really want.

He told me something.

He hated himself for resenting someone he should've supported.

It felt like he was talking about me.

I know this is a great opportunity for Ms. Nam...

but I still don't want her to go.

I hate that about myself.

I thought I'd gotten used to...

letting people go.

But it's still so hard.

Then ask her to stay.

If I ask her to stay just because I'm hurting, I'd only be holding her back.

I have to let her go.

It's the right thing to do.

You're hopeless.

Hey, careful.

Hey! Get it together.

Hey!

Kang Ha Gi!

I'm fine.

I'm totally fine.

Let's go for round two!

My place!

You need to tell her how you really feel.

Not get completely wasted.

Fine.

Here I go!

- Drunken confession! - Okay.

- Here goes! - Sir!

CEO Kang.

Are you okay?

- Oh, Ms. Nam? - Yeah.

- Da Reum. - Yeah...

Da Reum.

So cute.

You're so cute, Da Reum.

Oh my...

You're drunk, aren't you?

How am I supposed to let you go when you're this cute?

Give me a kiss.

Are you out of your mind?

Do that at home!

Sir!

Are you okay?

I've never seen him this drunk before.

Let's get him home first.

- One, two, three! - One, two, three!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Who hit me?

Nobody did.

Let's go.

You should go too.

I'm really fine.

Why do you keep telling me to go?

Here, wait.

Sit here for a second.

Sir.

Sir?

Don't go.

Don't go, Da Reum.

He's not fine at all.

He just doesn't want to hold you back.

[Toiletries] [Contact Lens Solution] [Cotton Swabs]

[Neck Pillow] [Blanket] [Instant Noodles] [Supplements]

[The France We Loved]

[Bandages, Ointment, Instant Soup, Digestive Medicine]

For the OLIVIER pieces you mentioned, should we go with this color?

That's too pale.

What about the jacket?

Something like this.

Da Reum took the day off.

The assignment deadline is today, but she didn't apply.

[Fiery Chicken] [Accept Order]

[One, two, three, four, five] [Let's go]

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

DNX!

DNX!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

DNX!

- One! - Two!

- Three! - Four!

Five! Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

[One, two, three, four, five]

[Let's go]

Now that I've decided not to go, I feel so much better.

Yeah.

It's just Paris.

My friends are here.

APPELLO's here...

No matter what happens,

don't let go of my hand.

Okay.

And I have him.

Yeah, Nam Da Reum.

You made the right choice.

So good.

You alive?

Hey.

I should've been there for you back then.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

I let go of your hand.

You didn't.

I'm the one who ran away.

You must've been terrified.

I guess I was young.

I ran away too.

Let's stop running away.

Come back, Roy.

Do you think the others will take me back?

Every time your part comes up during practice, they curse you out.

They act like they hate you, but they're still waiting for you.

You saw the ad, right?

That's how they really feel.

You know the application is due today, right?

I'll wait for you.

[You know the application is due today, right?] [I'll wait for you]

Ms. Nam.

Were you waiting for me?

Yes.

You didn't submit your application.

And you had me worried all day.

You kept pretending you were fine too.

You thought I wouldn't notice?

I'm an expert at pretending I'm fine.

Is that why you ran off?

No.

I love working with you, eating with you,

and just being beside you on ordinary days...

I love all of that.

I want to keep being with you.

Ms. Nam.

If I had to choose between the two...

I'd choose you.

You're right.

I didn't want you to go.

I was afraid we might end up apart for good.

But I guess...

My love for you is stronger than my fear.

And I hated the thought of you staying because of me.

When you talked about Paris, your eyes lit up.

It was the look that made me fall for you.

You looked excited and happy.

I want you to keep being that happy.

Don't worry about me. Go.

See as much as you can.

Take it all in.

So you can get even better at what you love to do.

If I go...

you're not letting go, right?

Of course not.

I'm holding on even tighter.

Let's trust each other.

Congrats, Da Reum.

Paris! That's amazing.

Send us lots of pictures.

- You have to come back, okay? - I will.

I'll check in so you know I'm alive.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Why are you guys toasting without me?

Let me in too!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

I have something to tell you all.

Oh my!

CEO Kang!

Actually...

Ms. Nam and I...

We know, CEO Kang.

Congrats!

- Congrats. - Congrats.

Finally!

Congrats.

I wasn't even finished...

Do you know how exhausting it was pretending we didn't know?

Seriously. It was exhausting.

Totally.

Watching your terrible acting was pretty entertaining, though.

Guess we can't have our little coworker get-togethers for a while.

Wasn't it always just the two of us anyway?

Sir...

- One, two, three, four, - One, two, three, four,

- five, six, seven, eight. - five, six, seven, eight.

- Two, two, three, four... - Wait, wait.

Chan.

- You're half a beat early. - No, I'm not. I came in on two.

- I came in on two. - You were both early.

You were both wrong. Get back in position.

- Hey, Teo. - My bad. Let's go again.

Teo, you know that's not how it goes.

Come on.

You made it?

I'm a little late, huh?

We've been waiting for you.

Man, I missed you.

Me too.

Let's see our youngest.

You guys been good?

What happened to you? You used to look like an idol.

- Seriously. - I still look way better than you guys.

What took you so long?

[Collegeist Pop-Up Has Ended] [Thank You]

Can you play this?

What do you think?

I love it.

That's it?

It's strange.

It's supposed to be a message from you to your fans,

but it also feels like what I've always wanted to tell you.

So...

that means it passes, right?

Yeah.

We both held on for a long time.

That...

It's the sign my favorite idol always adds to his autograph.

It's my birthday today, so I wanted it as a gift to myself.

Excuse me!

Happy birthday.

It was me.

I gave you that pendant on your birthday.

Knowing you still had it gave me the courage to go back onstage.

I kept going too, believing you gave it to me.

I...

I think I finally know what I want to do.

Being your fan made me so happy.

Now I want to do something that makes someone else's heart race.

That's why you're going to Paris, right?

Yeah.

I don't know if I'll be any good at it.

You'll do great.

I've seen how dedicated you are.

I'm glad someone as amazing as you was my fan.

Now it's your turn.

Go make someone else's heart race.

Passport.

Packed.

Guidebook.

Packed.

Medicine.

You practically packed a whole pharmacy for me.

Think that's enough?

Am I going to Paris to sell medicine?

I just don't want you getting sick.

I think I've got everything.

Oh, you put the one we made on your phone.

I'm taking it with me.

So it feels like you're there with me.

Touched?

A little.

A little?

A lot.

Then I should leave something behind too.

What?

It's a secret. You'll find out later.

I'll be fine. Don't worry.

I'll be waiting for you.

[Da Reum ♥ Ha Gi]

[Six Months Later]

Da Reum, CEO Han wants this version by three.

Three? Today?

Yes. That's just how CEO Han is.

So Korean...

You can do this.

"You can..."

"...do this."

Yes.

Done.

Ha Gi's Wait-for-Me Mission.

Sunshine Edition.

Water it and open the window so it gets some sun.

When it grows new leaves, send me a selfie with it.

When it starts to bud, show it off on a video call.

- Bye. - Bye-bye.

Bonjour!

You're at work on a weekend?

Yeah.

CEO Han is no joke.

She just dumps work on me.

She's worse than you.

Then why do you look so happy?

It's hard, but I'm having fun.

If it's hard but still fun, you're doing something right.

You sound like a CEO.

I am a CEO.

How are things at work?

I found out yesterday...

Young Woo and Min Ah are dating.

Really?

I knew it!

Since when?

Last week.

No way!

How'd you know?

It was so obvious.

Everyone knew but them.

We were the same.

Oh, right.

Look at this.

- I think it's about to bloom. - It's so pretty!

[Ha Gi's Wait-for-Me Mission] How did you get it to grow so well?

[Show it off on a video call] I always killed mine.

I did good, right?

Then I deserve a reward.

I miss you.

Me too.

Da Reum can get to the concert on her own,

you can ride with me,

but what about Seul Ah?

Is she coming alone?

Or should I give her a ride too?

Eyes on me.

On you.

On you.

[FAN GOODS SHOP] Hello, Fan Goods Shop.

Oh, yes. The slogan?

"Take My Everything, Hooni" is out of stock right now.

"Mini Stole My Heart?" That one comes in tomorrow.

Yes, 150 of them.

Okay, got it.

Of course. That won't take long.

Okay.

One, two, three!

One, two.

- Step, step. - Step, step.

- Step, step, and... - Step, step, and...

- Step, step. - Step, step.

- Okay! - Good!

- Nice. - Nice.

[DNX Reunites: Full-Group Comeback Confirmed]

[Full-Group Comeback] Oh my God!

All right, everyone!

Attention!

You know what I'm about to do, huh?

Here we go again!

So...

Every new employee here has to pass one important test.

So, Chae Yeon.

Are you Team Ha Gi?

Team Chan?

Or Team Jin Sang?

- Someone has to be. - No. Nobody.

I'm...

Team Ha Gi.

You should be Team Jin Sang!

She used to be Team Ha Gi too.

- I'm Team Young Woo now. - Good.

Hey, I told you guys not to flaunt your office romances.

- By the way... - Yeah?

Is CEO Kang single?

Yes.

Please separate the brand preference data for North America and Europe.

It's just that he's always working.

All right.

♪ Want me to tell you whether he is seeing someone? ♪

Oh, sorry.

I knew it.

Too bad.

He's taken.

Da Reum!

I have officially returned!

What?

Weren't you coming back tomorrow?

I came back a day early.

Why?

Because I missed you.

It's so good to be home.

There's still something we haven't done yet.

So this is why...

I wanted to come back.

So...

For your comeback,

our project lead will walk you through the fan merch proposal.

Who's the new project lead?

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

I'm Nam Da Reum, and I'll be leading the DNX collaboration.

I look forward to working with you.

Likewise.

All right. Let's get started.

For this collaboration, we took inspiration from your fan song, "YOU."

We wanted the merch to reflect your gratitude to the fans who waited for you.

As you can see, we have three main items. T-shirts, tote bags, and caps.

Starting with the T-shirt, we've added a special detail.

On the left chest pocket, right over the heart,

we embroidered lyrics from "YOU" in an elegant script.

You were pretty impressive.

Oh, stop.

I mean it.

So we're really working together now.

Which means I have to do even better.

I'm not doing this project just as a fan.

Then as what?

As a project lead who knows what fans want.

I look forward to working with you.

Ms. Nam, our project lead.

Likewise, Mr. Lee, our artist.

All right.

Let's do this!

Great presentation.

You heard it?

I could hear you from outside.

You sounded pretty confident.

Looks like I can trust you with bigger projects now.

Are you buttering me up so I'll work late?

Not tonight.

Why not?

I have a date with my boyfriend.

[We'll dream again together] Out of the lyrics, I think fans will like...

this one and this one the most.

Okay.

Then we can put this right here.

[Only you make me feel alive] Ta-da.

Yeah, I like it.

[DNX Concert Outfit Reference]

[Stage Outfit-Inspired Merch Design Confirmed]

This is the hardest part.

[Manager Na Won Bin]

Yes, Manager Na.

What?

Someone posted a threat to attack the venue.

It's probably a hoax, but the police want to search the entire venue.

Our booking's been canceled.

The only place we could find on short notice is...

here.

[Concert Hall Floor Plan]

It's pretty small, right?

The stage is really close to the audience.

So we'll probably have to change the stage outfits too.

Then our merch designs...

I'm sorry.

Please revise them to match the new outfits.

Post the venue change on every channel we have.

[New Venue: Art Live Hall] [First Come, First Served]

Let me check.

Set up the merch display like...

Since admission is free, please set up a reservation link too.

[First D-Angel President Fan Account]

It's been a while since I've felt this fired up.

D-Angels, listen up!

This is the real deal.

Check the link and get on it!

[Post Published]

[D-Angel's First President]

[All five of them?] [I can't believe it!]

[We'll dream again together] Cheer them on!

Hello. Take one each.

- Cheer them on! - Let's go!

Hello. Take one each!

Did you make these yourself?

Cheer them on!

Thanks.

- Hey! - Hey!

- It's been forever! - We came because of your post.

Really?

- You saw my post? - Yes!

Here, take one each.

Cheer them on!

All right.

And last but not least, the APPELLO merch.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Good luck today!

It's pretty. Like a shooting star.

This...

The venue may be smaller, but the fans will get to see you up close.

So I kept the detail subtle.

A light they can see up close.

Thank you.

For giving this back to me.

Now it's time for you to shine onstage again.

I like it.

Everyone ready?

What about the fans?

Did a lot of them come?

Go see for yourself.

We did it!

I can't believe we'll be this close!

My heart's pounding.

Roy oppa will do great, right?

I trust Roy oppa.

The king of the stage!

I trust him.

Who's your bias?

Chan got me into the fandom, but the one I was obsessed with was Hyuk oppa.

What about now?

Min Woo oppa?

I like the sound of that.

Hey!

Save the flirting for when you get home.

Today is sacred.

My bias is back onstage.

Let's go.

All right.

They waited nine years for us.

Let's give them everything we've got.

Yeah.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five! Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Hyuk oppa!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

- DNX! DNX! - DNX! DNX!

We thought a lot about what song to open with.

But first, thank you for waiting for us all these years.

This song...

is for all of you who stayed with us and helped us find our way

back to this stage.

It's called...

"YOU."

[Five Stars Shining Again] [D-Angel Will Be With You Forever]

Once, I followed a single shining star.

But that wasn't the only light that showed me the way.

Whenever I thought I was alone, there were lights shining beside me.

I think I like you.

No matter what happens, don't let go of my hand.

Now I know...

stars aren't only far away.

All these lights were stars of their own,

each shining where they stood.

And when I become a light for someone else,

I realize... I'm shining too.

Oh, bubbles!

So pretty.

Ms. Nam.

Cute.

You like it?

I love it.

Make me a ring too. I want the whole set.

No.

It'll wilt in no time.

That's not the point.

Come on, make me a ring too. With a big flower.

Where's a flower?

I actually want to give you this.

I want to be the one you always come back to.

Will you stay...

by my side?

Yes.

I will.

Every day.
