What's wrong with me? I need to cook rice first.

FIVE MINUTES LEFT TO FINISH COOKING

Hey, Dan-tae.

What's all this?

It's your breakfast.

You need to get ready for work. Let's eat quickly.

Let me carry it for you.

Don't worry. Let's go inside.

Okay.

Here. Go ahead and eat.

All right.

Try this too.

Shim.

Thank you for the meal. It was so good.

Drink some water.

Thank you.

I'm a lucky man.

Thank you so much.

If this is what you call lucky,

I can do this for you for a hundred more years.

Really?

Why is it so hot in here?

It is, right?

Yes.

Don't mind me.

You can take your wig off.

Excuse me?

We're close enough. Don't worry.

You can take it off if it's too hot.

Let me help you.

Hold on.

I know we're close and all.

But how can I show you the big hole I have from hair loss?

Where is it?

Shim!

Your hair grew back.

There is no hole anymore!

Really?

Yes.

The hole is gone. It's now covered up with your new hair!

Oh, goodness!

Congratulations.

Yes, I love you.

You love me?

Your rice is ready.

What?

I fell asleep?

Hey, Dan-tae.

An Dan-tae.

Oh, I guess he went to work early today.

I FOUND THIS AT THE YANGPYEONG BLUE SKY ARBORETUM. IT LOOKS VALUABLE.

How have you been, Mr. An?

Good. Come here.

Okay.

My dear Ho-joong, are you doing well?

Yes, thanks to you, I'm doing great these days.

You said you wanted to ask me a favor, right?

Can you please deliver this for me?

Of course.

Where should I deliver it to?

Please deliver this to Star Group's information desk

about an hour later.

After an hour, deliver this to Star Group's building.

Got it.

Don't tell anyone that I sent it.

Got it.

Thank you.

-I'll get going. -Okay. Bye.

I don't understand.

He should've gotten a job at a cleaning company.

I don't understand why he started working as a secretary.

Shall we go?

Excuse me, sir.

Someone delivered this for you.

What's this?

Isn't this the badge for our executives?

"I found this at the Yangpyeong Blue Sky Arboretum. It looks valuable.

I hope it gets back to the owner."

I'm not hiding anything!

How much does he know?

I said, there's no such thing!

You little...

Tell me everything.

What is this?

Who in the world is careless enough to lose their badge?

Mr. Seok.

Mr. Yeom.

You two should lead a good example.

This badge wasn't some kind of gift for you to keep in your drawer.

You only wear it for the board meeting that I attend.

How many times did I tell you to wear it every day?

I'm going to find out who this badge belongs to.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. An.

Find out who lost their executive's badge.

An executive's badge?

It's a badge only for the executives.

Do you think someone who retired could've held onto it?

It was made a year ago when we changed our company logo,

and you have to return it to the company when you leave.

There was once a fraud case by someone who picked up the badge.

Mr. An.

Take care of this right now and report back to me.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. An?

Thanks for your work, sir.

What work?

I was just checking if you were wearing your badge.

HA BYEON-JAE

You scared me.

Mr. An?

Thanks for your cooperation, Mr. Moon.

I was checking if you were wearing your badge.

MOON SEOK-JUN

My goodness.

What's up with him checking our badges?

You'll get in trouble if you lend your badge to others.

-What? -What?

That's what the chairwoman said.

That little...

Come in.

Hey, Mr. An.

Hello, sir. How are you?

I'm here to check if you are wearing your badge.

Are you?

Please leave if you're done looking. I'm quite busy at the moment.

Why are you just standing there?

It's here.

What?

It's gone.

Where did it go?

When did you lose it?

I didn't lose it.

I have it.

You saw my badge this morning. You saw me, right?

My badge was right here.

No, I didn't see it.

You didn't?

May I ask where you went this morning?

I went to meet...

some people in the sports industry

and some people from the Animal Protection Society.

I will go check if you lost it during those meetings then.

No, you don't have to.

I can check. I think I know where it is.

Once you find your badge, let me know as soon as possible.

The chairwoman is waiting for my report.

Okay, I'll let you know.

Where did it go?

Seriously.

-Go! -Go!

-Win! -You can do it!

I don't think I dropped it here.

Where did I lose it?

Hey, Judy! Judy, come here.

My goodness. Judy.

Good.

You came here twice today.

Have you seen a little badge here?

It's a small badge I wear.

No, I haven't.

I'll let you know if I see it.

It's not here? I see.

This is not good.

I'll be in trouble.

Where are you going, Judy? Come here, Judy.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you hungry, Judy?

Let's eat then. Let's...

I found my badge.

Hey, Judy.

Did you find this? You kept my badge here.

I found it.

Good job, Judy.

He's not here.

Mr. Seok has gone out for a while.

Really? Where did he go?

I'm not sure about that.

Should I leave him a message?

I'm here to check if he is wearing his badge.

He is the last one I need to check.

Please tell him to call me once he comes back to his office.

How many have you checked so far?

I have only two left.

Mr. Seok Jun-su, and Mr. Gwak Seung-jin who is in China for a business trip.

I checked everyone except those two.

Mr. Gwak, are you going to China now?

Yes, I'm heading to the airport now.

I have a board meeting to attend right now,

but I forgot to wear my badge.

Can I borrow yours today?

Sure, you should avoid getting scolded by the chairwoman.

-Here you go. -Yes.

Thank you.

I'll give it back to you once you get back from China.

What should I do?

He's coming back from China tomorrow.

Excuse me, sir.

Is everything all right with you?

Why do you care?

You look pale, that's why. I was just worried.

Thank you for your cooperation.

SEA KING OCTOPUS

OCTOPUS CHARACTER CONTEST

A character drawing contest?

Gosh, riding a night train will be very romantic.

We can have boiled eggs with beer.

We're going to a funeral. Don't expect any romance.

We're going to Suncheon. We'll be back tomorrow.

Mi's on a business trip in Busan. Will you be okay home alone?

I'm not a kid anymore. Have a safe trip.

When you were home alone last time,

a ghost came out from the ceiling like this.

Don't scare her.

We'll see you tomorrow. Stay safe.

-I saw the ghost from the ceiling. -Stop.

-You're worse than a ghost. -Okay.

-She will be home alone. -Have a safe trip.

What was that?

Is it a ghost?

I'm scared.

Where is it?

Come on.

Shim, what's going on? What happened?

Open the door, Shim.

Shim!

Hey, Dan-tae.

I'm alive.

What's going on? Are you all right?

The power went off suddenly.

Can you fix it for me?

-The power went off? -Hurry up.

Really?

Where is the fuse box?

My parents went to a funeral. They're coming home tomorrow.

And my sister is on a business trip. She's not here.

I was home alone, and I really didn't know what to do.

Do you not know how to fix it?

Don't you know how to get the power back on?

It has nothing to do with my major, so I don't really know.

Gosh, but what are you going to do?

You must be scared to be home alone.

That's why I need to fix this.

But my dad knows how to handle electricity

even though he didn't major in science.

My school was coeducational.

Oh, okay.

Let me look it up on the Internet.

I know that I need to find the fuse box though.

Where is that?

Goodness.

You scared me. I almost had a heart attack.

You scared me more.

Are you okay?

You should've checked properly.

He didn't even die but we almost went all the way there.

-Take your shoes. -I didn't know that.

No. Don't go that way.

I can't believe this.

Why is it so dark in here?

Shim.

Are you already in bed?

The power went off.

Let me check the fuse box. Wait here.

Mom, Dad, why did you come back so early?

You don't want to know. I'm still so angry.

He didn't pass away. There was no funeral.

The 97-year-old man who almost passed away is doing well now.

He is fine. He recognizes all of his family members.

I was told that he won't make it tonight.

I'm pretty sure they didn't literally mean that.

The fuse box was off. Why didn't you do anything about it?

It went off just now.

I'm going back to my room.

Gosh, what is this? We went for nothing.

It only made me hungry.

It's me.

Let me tell you why they're back so early.

I heard them talk about what happened.

Right.

But why did I hide? I can't even leave now.

You're right.

But they could've asked me what we were up to in the darkness.

You missed the timing to leave. You can't leave now.

You can't.

Then what should I do?

Please wait a little.

They will go to bed soon.

It won't take long, right?

They will soon go to bed. Get some rest.

What's wrong?

I smell pork. Don't you?

Pork?

Are they really...

Are you hungry?

I can never hate you.

You said you were hungry.

You're so cute.

Cheers.

Cheers.

What are you doing at this hour?

What's wrong? We're just hungry.

-I guess you're going to take your time. -We don't need to hurry.

We'll slowly eat a lot.

Join us, Shim. You should eat too.

Shim, what are you doing?

Have a seat.

This is so good.

Eat it with the lettuce. We just harvested them from the garden.

It tastes so fresh.

It tastes best when you fry it in its own oil.

Open up.

How is it? It's good, right?

Yes, it's so delicious.

Hey.

Where are you going?

I was going to eat it in private.

Why would you eat that in private?

My daughter is quite unique.

Where are you?

Shim.

The smell is killing me. I can't stand it.

Eat this.

Is this all you brought?

Sorry?

You have two hands, don't you?

I'll be right back.

Hold on, Shim.

Put in a lot of meat, garlic, and sauce.

And I want two layers of lettuce.

Got it.

Two layers of lettuce.

A lot of meat.

Garlic.

Here we go.

-Why? -You never eat raw garlic.

I'm lacking energy these days.

She's right.

Garlic is a good energy booster.

Shim, invite Dan-tae over.

We have plenty to share.

You should tell him to come and eat with us.

Yes, go bring him down.

No.

I think he's really busy these days.

I'll go eat quietly in private.

Hey.

What's with her?

I'm not sure.

She's acting strange.

Why aren't you hiding?

I can't eat like this anymore.

It's not like we did anything wrong.

I'm going to go out and eat confidently.

You can't. It's too late.

No.

I'll go out there and explain what happened.

No, it will make us look weird. It's too late.

We did nothing wrong. What's the problem?

I'm going.

You can't!

-You can't. -Shim.

-No. -I'm going.

-No. -Come out and eat.

No.

Your sister will yell at you if you make her clothes smell.

Where did she go?

Honey!

He passed away just now.

-Are you serious? -Of course.

He left peacefully.

What are we going to do?

It's too late for us to drive down now.

Did she go to the washroom?

We missed the last train already.

Are they for me?

Yes.

They will find out if I keep going back and forth.

I'll stay outside.

Please hang in there even if it's hard.

Okay.

Please make a lot of money.

You're so stupid.

You're a conman.

Should I tell him I like him?

Sorry, it must have been hard to stay in here.

Can I go out now?

Yes, they went to bed

since they have to leave early in the morning.

Thank you for the food.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. Sleep well.

I'll get going. Good night.

Okay.

My flight is at 3:00 p.m. today.

Let me ask you again.

Should I go...

or not?

You should go, Shim.

Fancy running into you here.

Where are you going at this hour?

I'm going to work.

Right, it's time to go to work.

How's working at the office?

It's all right.

Why are you following me?

I'm not. I'm just going my way.

Dan-tae, do you like cold noodles or spicy noodles?

Cold noodles.

Okay.

I'll have it ready for you when you get home.

I think I'll be late today.

Why didn't you tell me that you would be late?

You just asked me now.

If you finish early by chance, let me know.

Okay.

Go earn a lot of money.

Mr. Gwak, who is currently on a business trip in China,

and Mr. Seok, who is offsite haven't been confirmed yet.

When is Mr. Gwak coming back?

He's scheduled to come to the office this afternoon.

Today,

we'll find out who lost the badge.

Yes. I think so.

We'll see Jun-su later.

It must be Mr. Gwak who lost it.

Ma'am.

Do you plan on scolding him?

Go and check on it right away.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you here?

I have to leave right now for an environmental union seminar.

What? You're busy again?

Why is it so hard to have lunch with you?

I'm sorry. It will get better after today.

Why don't you ever wear that expensive jacket?

It's all wrinkly now.

You never wear anything I buy for you.

I've been saving it for important occasions.

You've become sly lately.

She's here.

Come on in.

Are you meeting someone here?

Hello.

Ms. Gong.

I wanted the three of us to get lunch.

Sorry, I have to go for a seminar at the hotel.

It's quite all right.

It's just the two of us again.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Jun-su, are you taking the company car?

No, I'll drive over.

I see.

Ms. Gong, please take good care of her.

She will soon be the most powerful person in the company.

Yes, sir.

Did you follow me here to talk nonsense?

Are you leaving now? I have to go.

Let's go.

UNCLE TAE-CHEOL

Uncle Tae-cheol.

No, not yet.

That document?

It's probably in my office.

I'll get it for you before I go.

Okay.

Yes, Uncle.

Oh, you found it?

It's okay.

All right.

If we count Mr. Seok out, Mr. Gwak is the only one left.

Age and hometown...

He doesn't seem like he has any relations to my father.

Mr. Yeom borrowed your badge?

He came to me two days ago before I left for my business trip,

so I lent it to him.

You never got it back from him?

No.

Hello.

Mr. Yeom.

Did you borrow this badge from Mr. Gwak?

Thank you for lending it to me.

I left my badge at home on the day I had a meeting.

Don't tell the chairwoman that I borrowed the badge

before going into a meeting.

Okay?

That document?

It's probably in my office.

I'll get it for you before I go.

Okay. Thank you so much.

I already took care of the surveillance cameras.

My bag!

Why did I leave my window open?

Your drawings

really cheered me up.

I want you to continue drawing.

I'm your fan.

I'm sure even really famous artists started with a single fan.

GONG SHIM

MR. SEOK

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Seok.

Yes, I'm at home.

What?

What will you do? You lost all the documents?

Right now?

Yes, I understand.

I'll be right there.

Mr. Seok!

I'm so sorry I called you suddenly.

What happened? Why didn't you call your colleagues?

Actually, I'm trying to become independent from the company.

Become independent?

Why?

I don't like hearing that I got everything from my family.

I was preparing my own business without telling my family.

I'm scheduled to do a presentation for my potential investors,

but I lost all my documents along with the bag.

I've delayed the meeting for two hours for now.

Two hours? What should I do?

I told the office that I have a seminar to attend

to go to this meeting.

I can't call my colleagues since I'm doing this in secret.

All I could think of was you.

Can you help me?

I don't think now's the time to talk about that.

What should I do? Just tell me what to do.

I have all the sources on my cloud.

I need you to fix the presentation material.

Okay.

-Let's start. -Okay.

DEVELOPING PRIVATE-BRAND PRODUCTS

JUN-SU'S GREAT SERIES

Here you go.

You saved me.

Thank you, Shim.

It was nothing.

I don't have time right now, so I'll call you later.

Okay. You should go.

Thank you so much.

That was hectic.

My octopus!

-Sir. -Yes?

The contest isn't closed yet, right?

The character contest?

You can put it on that table.

Okay.

OCTOPUS CHARACTER CONTEST

Why are there so many?

GONG SHIM

Do you know how many people applied?

I think it's about 100 people.

About 100 people?

A lot of students who studied arts and design seem to have applied.

I didn't mean it to get so huge.

I see.

-Bye. -Bye.

Even this isn't easy.

Ms. Gong, I don't know what it is about you.

I always enjoy it when I eat with you,

and it's fun when I go shopping with you too.

It's because you're nice to me.

It feels like I have a new friend. I'm having a great time.

I'm glad you think that way.

-There's the car. -Yes.

My goodness! What should we do?

My goodness.

Gosh. My goodness.

That hurts. Oh, my back.

-Try to get up. -My arm.

Gosh.

Including my wrist and my back, I'm in a lot of pain.

I'll have to go to the hospital.

Give me five million won right now for the hospital.

Here.

-Right now, I don't-- -Hold on.

-Don't give him anything. -What?

Who are you?

First of all, the black box in the car

captured you jumping into the car.

I'm sure the car over there also captured it.

It will be obvious when we look at the clips.

Who are you?

Should I call the police?

Go ahead.

LAWYER GONG MI

A lawyer?

We were driving at a low speed

when you purposefully jumped in to hit it with your wrist.

According to the constitution's Act 39 Article 347,

you'll either get 10 years in prison or a penalty under 20 million won.

On top of that, you could get up to 15 years if you're an ex-convict.

What would you like to do? Do you want to go to the station?

I'm okay.

What? What's with him?

Is he a habitual offender?

How can this happen?

You must have been surprised.

My goodness, you're such a doll.

I knew it when she helped Jun-su before.

What a sweetheart.

Mother, do you like her?

Of course.

She's perfect.

Ms. Gong, do you have a boyfriend?

I'm sorry?

No, not yet.

What's wrong with all the men in this world?

How can someone like her not have a boyfriend?

What do you think about my son, Jun-su?

Sorry?

You two should date.

Yes. They're perfect for each other.

You two would look great together.

What do you think?

I'll help you out.

Well, I...

I don't think it's up to me.

That must mean that you're interested as long as Jun-su agrees.

Right?

My goodness.

My daughter-in-law and my great-daughter-in-law!

You two will get along so well.

How adorable.

GONG SHIM

DIRECTOR SEOK JUN-SU

Yes, this is Shim.

Did you get home all right?

Yes, sir.

How did the presentation go?

Shim.

The investors agreed to invest in my proposal.

Really?

I'm so glad to hear that.

Congratulations.

It's all thanks to you.

Thank you so much.

I didn't do much.

I'm hesitant to ask,

but have you found a job?

Not yet, I'm just doing part-time work for now.

I want to help you.

Your emotional support is enough for me.

If I introduced you to a job,

would that hurt your pride?

I want to be like you and try to find something

on my own.

I understand.

I'll look forward to it.

Okay. Bye.

Dan-tae.

You should go now.

Aren't you tired?

I'm sure you're more tired than I am.

I get to do my own work aside from the visiting hours. It's okay.

Aunt Ji-yeon.

He will wake up, right?

Even if it's for a moment, he will wake up, right?

I still have a lot to talk to him about.

Of course.

Welcome.

You're here.

You look really tired.

Gu-nam.

I think I'll be less tired if I have a certain something.

Can you guess what it is?

I'm really sorry.

We're out of King Lunchboxes.

Gu-nam.

Didn't I tell you to save one for me?

I'm sorry.

People knew that I was hiding it and asked for it.

I had no choice.

I'm disappointed in you.

How can you give them my King Lunchbox?

You're not betraying me, are you?

No way.

Gosh.

You're here.

Were you waiting here?

It's nice and cool up here.

You asked Gu-nam for the King Lunchbox, right?

I bought it before you.

Sit down.

I thought I had a new enemy,

but it was you.

Enjoy.

I want to try it too.

Here.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you.

It's good.

Since when did you like King Lunchboxes?

Ever since they released it.

What else do you like?

Banana milk, sausages, and iced...

But...

why are you asking me that?

I'm just curious, that's all.

You're not wearing flip-flops today.

You seem to wear that white dress shirt a lot.

Do you wear it because you know girls like it?

Not at all.

Do you call your dad often?

How is your aunt?

Come to think of it, I haven't talked to your aunt in a while.

Do you take after your mom or your dad?

You didn't look like your dad when I saw him last time.

Am I wrong?

I guess you look like him in some ways.

Your mom must be really beautiful.

Shim, I'm sorry. I'm going to head in.

You didn't even finish it.

Are you feeling sick?

I'm just tired.

SHOULD I TELL HIM I LIKE HIM?

Do you take after your mom or your dad?

Why am I living as An Dan-tae?

Why am I living as Dan-tae when I'm not him?

What's wrong, Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Who am I?

No one applied for a new badge as of yet.

Other than one person, everyone else proved that they have it.

Who is that one person?

It's Director Seok Jun-su.

-Jun-su? -Yes.

We didn't get to check with him yesterday because he had gone to a seminar.

When I called him, he said he would come here himself.

There you are.

Jun-su.

Where is your badge? Do you have it?

Well...

I'm sorry.

I lost it when I went to a seminar at a hotel.

You lost it at a seminar?

I took a jacket my badge was on,

but it was stolen.

What?

It was stolen?

Your jacket got stolen?

Yes, along with my bag.

I think they wanted my wallet and my laptop.

But my jacket was with my bag,

so I ended up losing my badge with it.

It sounds like a huge bag. How did you lose it?

Did you try looking for it?

Yes.

A bag thief?

Did the person follow Jun-su to get his bag?

He mentioned the seminar was at the Shindeahan Hotel.

Yes, this is Shindeahan Hotel.

There was a seminar there yesterday held by Star Group, right?

Is it possible to check your security footages?

We didn't have any seminars here yesterday from Star Group.

Then...

could you check if someone by the name Seok Jun-su

ever booked your seminar room?

Hold on one moment.

No, he didn't.

No?

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

All right. Thank you.

What's going on?

SEA KING OCTOPUS

-Look. -It's nice.

-Look at that. -Excuse me.

-Who is Gong Shim? -I feel jealous.

FIRST PRIZE WINNER, GONG SHIM

Did I really win?

It can't be.

What should I do?

That Gong Shim is me.

I'm Gong Shim.

It's me. I'm Gong Shim.

I drew this picture. I did it.

Thank you.

DIRECTOR SEOK JUN-SU

Welcome, Dan-tae.

I'm sorry if I surprised you with my visit.

No, that's okay.

I just have been really busy lately.

How was your seminar?

It was great.

Didn't you go through any trouble because of your lost bag?

Your laptop was in that bag.

How can you go to a seminar without any materials?

It was fine. I didn't need any materials.

I mostly listened to the presentations, so it was all good.

Wasn't it hosted by our company?

I somehow managed to skip my turn.

Dan-tae, I have to work on something right now.

Right, of course.

Then how about some beer after work?

Beer sounds good. Good idea.

All right, I'll see you at the pub in front of the building after work.

Why don't we go to your place instead?

I like it there.

Okay, sure.

I'll bring the beers and snacks.

Okay, I'll just go without buying anything then.

-All right. See you then. -Okay.

Why is he lying to me?

Did he really lose his badge or is that a lie too?

KONG SHIM

Yes, Shim.

Dan-tae, when are you coming home tonight?

I'm busy tonight.

Are you?

Are you coming home late? I've got something to show you.

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't see you tonight because of an appointment.

I see. That's too bad.

Aren't you going to ask what it's about though?

I'm really sorry, Shim. I can't talk for long.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll hang up now.

Wait.

Please call me even if you come home late, okay?

Okay, I will.

All right. Bye.

Why is he talking so seriously?

It's Dan-tae.

Dan-tae.

Ta-da.

FIRST PRIZE WINNER, GONG SHIM

What is this?

What happened?

A restaurant down the street held a character drawing contest.

So I participated.

And I won the first prize.

Really?

Wow, that's amazing.

That's really good to hear.

When did you participate? You didn't even tell me anything.

I really wanted to tell you,

but I was afraid I might fail.

So I was going to tell you if I win.

And I actually won!

Good for you.

Congratulations, Shim.

You're really amazing, Shim.

I'm really happy.

Never have I ever came in first place for anything

my whole life.

I'm...

really happy.

Why are you about to cry when it's a good thing?

Don't cry, okay?

Thank you.

It's all thanks to you, Dan-tae.

What did I do?

It's all because you did well.

I gave it a try because you cheered me up and encouraged me.

When I think about it,

you're always the person who cheers me up.

You're the one who told me I'm pretty.

You're the one who saw my picture

and encouraged me by telling me that you're my fan.

Every time I'm going through a hard time,

you're the one who always stood by me and kept me company.

It was always you, Dan-tae.

Shim.

I want to be that kind of person for you too, Dan-tae.

Shim. Just because...

Well, just because you're thankful,

it doesn't mean you have to...

You don't need to do this.

Remember what you said?

You said you're glad that you can see me anywhere at any time.

I feel the same way.

I keep thinking of you.

From early morning as I open my eyes

to late at night before I fall asleep,

I keep thinking of you.

I often see you in my dreams, too.

I...

I like you, Dan-tae.

Shim.

I'm sorry.

I...

I...

I can't accept your feelings, Shim.

So please don't like me anymore. I'm really sorry.

What do you mean?

Then what about everything

you told me last time?

What I said last time, back then,

things were very different.

But Shim, right now...

Dan-tae.
