Yeon-joo, I have to get going.

What? Where?

- To the convenience store. - Why?

I have to check on something. It's urgent.

- What is it? - The part-timer girl.

I thought we were going to work out the whole night.

I think I've sweated enough.

- I'll call you later. - Okay.

I didn't know the part-timer was a girl.

[ Episode 2 ]

Drink up.

If you mix alcohol, it's bad for you.

Are they serious right now? My gosh, okay.

Is she trying to suck me dry? She's unbelievable.

I'll put an end to you girls today.

You darn parasites.

Let me get you guys some more beer.

Will that be enough?

You should drink some hard liquor since it's going to be your last supper.

Mr. Choi?

Why are you here so early?

My shift isn't over yet.

You're off for good.

You came here to see me because you missed me?

I'm here to fire you.

- Girls, say hi to my boss. - What do you think you're doing?

- Say hi. - Don't say hi.

- Hello. - Hello.

Why is she asleep all of a sudden?

Hey, wake up!

You must've overworked her.

I can't believe that she fell asleep while drinking.

Nonsense. She didn't overwork herself,

she overdrank herself! You brats.

It has been three years, right?

He has such a great memory!

Of course, it's hard to forget someone as beautiful as I am.

I get that a lot. You may sit.

[ These brats, ]

[ - they never listen to other people. ] - Sit down!

- Come on. - No!

Fine. I'm seated.

I hear that you suspected Saet-byul of stealing.

My, my! How could you be so awful?

What an awful boss you are.

Thank you, girls.

No, that was all a misunderstanding.

- Misunderstanding? - Misunderstanding?

There was nobody else but her to question.

That's why I made up for that by cleaning the whole store.

Why are you trying to change the topic?

What do you think you're doing at my store?

You're too loud.

No, I'm not!

Fine, we'll tell you if you're so curious.

Hold on. I think this is the perfect timing for more beer.

No!

This is beautiful. Look at this.

What do you want me to do with this?

You're no use for anything except for being eye candy.

What? What are you talking about?

You have the alcohol tolerance of a teenager.

- Yes, of a teenage boy. - That's why you can't drink.

What are you talking about? I can drink this.

- You want me to drink this? - Yes.

- I'm drinking it. - Okay.

I'm really going to drink it.

That was three years ago. She...

Really? I don't believe this.

This can't be.

Poor girl.

Whatever. Let's just...

- Let's just drink some more. - All right.

- Sure. - You have to chug this down at once.

- Chug it! - Chug it!

Look.

These two look like they're meant-to-be.

Meant to be an annoying couple.

Hey! Saet-byul!

Wake up, Saet-byul!

- What? - She's up.

- You saw that, right? - What happened?

Mr. Choi! What are you doing here?

Did you sleep well, Saet-byul?

We told him everything, so you sort it out with him, okay?

What did you tell him?

We told him everything about why you're working here

and all of your plans.

You're welcome.

How could you tell him everything?

- Look at that. - Look at that.

You should thank us for being your wing-women.

So what did he say?

He said

- nothing. He fell asleep. - Just like that.

He's a no from me. He's old and weak.

I think he stinks too.

Hey! What do you mean he stinks?

Let's go now. Want to take that cab?

- Where? Sure. - Is someone in there?

Sir, please get going!

Choi Dae-hyun, that man.

My goodness. Here.

How am I going to face him tomorrow?

That's right.

I applied to work here so that I can see your face every day.

I'm going to work hard and become a real employee,

so you just watch.

You won't regret hiring me.

Good night. I'll come back to wake you up later.

Don't leave.

Don't leave.

Please don't leave.

What's this? You were pretending to be asleep?

I guess

I could stay for a little longer.

Here.

Thank you.

Of course you are.

Sales have spiked since I started working.

Thank you,

Yeon-joo.

"Yeon-joo"?

Yeon-joo.

Did you just say Yeon-joo?

Yeon-joo...

Seriously?

What, Yeon-joo?

I can't deal with this.

[ How did it... ]

No.

Give me a call when you see this.

Not this either.

Dae-hyun,

you looked like you had a blast.

[ Dae-hyun, you looked like you were having a blast. ]

Did I really send that?

I'm crazy!

Wait. Delete. Delete!

[ The message has been deleted. ]

Three, two, one!

- Close! - Wait!

- You kids! - Please let us in.

- Just this once. - Where do you think you're going?

You can't go in.

Did you ever see me letting anyone off the hook?

Please!

This school is all about rules.

Go and stand over there.

And also,

how can you be late

- every single day? - Sorry.

Why are you always late?

- Good morning. - Hello.

Hwang Geum-bi!

Yes, sir.

You reek of alcohol.

Do you think it's appropriate for you to come to school

drunk like this when there are other students?

Hold your hands out.

- Hold your hands out! Close your eyes. - Oh, gosh.

How dare you?

You deserve this.

Drink this in three portions.

It'll make you choke if you drink it all at once.

- Really? - Yes.

Thank you.

I'll tell my dad how nice you've been to me.

No, I'm not doing this to kiss up to Chairman.

I'm an educator,

and this is just an innocent educator taking care of his pupil.

Of course, I understand. I can go now, right?

Yes. Dan-bi!

It's Hwang Geum-bi.

Sorry, did I say Dan-bi?

Today's lunch is

bean sprout hangover soup.

This is what I come to school for.

The food here is great!

That rude brat.

Mr. Choi Dae-hyun, you're under arrest

from buying cigarettes for underage minors three years ago.

What are you talking about?

What's happening? Hold on.

Make sure he gets sentenced to the longest time possible in jail.

Yeon-joo, why are you doing this to me?

I wanted a rough man, not a bad one.

How am I bad?

Ma'am,

I'm quite the rough man myself.

Yeon-joo, look here.

- I'm as rough as I can be. - Look.

Great. I love men in uniform.

I'm wearing a uniform. Look. I'm wearing the convenience store vest.

You're my type.

- How dare you touch her? - Shall we go out together, then?

Don't go.

Don't go! Come here, you.

[ Police ]

Yeon-joo, don't leave. He's a weird man!

You're even weirder, you criminal.

Sir.

I'm not weird. Don't leave!

I'm bleeding.

[ Hey! Yeon-joo! ]

What's this?

Why am I bleeding?

My goodness.

Why is my nose bleeding?

What happened to me?

Did I get beaten up?

Saet-byul?

What are you doing here? What time is it right now?

You worked two hours overtime.

How can I leave when you're not awake?

I'm so sorry. I'll pay overtime.

Go home.

I really don't feel well. Even my nose is bleeding.

- You're not going to say that to me? - Say what?

Don't leave.

Don't leave, please.

- Go. - What?

Go. Why would I tell you to not go?

Go home. Bye.

Go home already.

Go. Hurry.

Hello!

Hey! What would you like?

- I'll take two packs of Soboro Red. - Two Soboro Red.

Why are you buying two packs?

- That'll be nine dollars. - Okay.

[ I'm sorry for not calling you last night. ]

[ What was the message that you sent and deleted? ]

[ I'm off early today. Would you like to have dinner with me? ]

Why are you thanking her?

Why are you thanking her? And what did you say to me?

"Go"? "Go home already"?

You should go home, you jerk!

My ears are itchy. Is someone badmouthing me?

Here's carbonara pasta, cream risotto,

and Gorgonzola pizza.

- Why aren't you eating? - I was just about to eat.

I was going to eat when you told me to eat.

Yeon-joo, the thing is...

Actually, I was craving something spicy today.

Why is that? To cure your hangover?

No. Who said I drank?

I crave spicy food twice a week.

You should have told me sooner.

Right. I should have told you. But I wasn't sure if I should or not.

But it's better not to bring it up if you can't fix it. Right?

What can we do now? You don't want to eat this,

but we can't go to another restaurant.

Right. It looks like I made a mistake again.

"Again"? It sounds like you made another mistake.

What did you do? Did you make a mistake last night?

No. No, I didn't. I didn't do anything.

You just said

that you made a mistake "again".

I just deduced that you made another mistake based on what you said,

logically-speaking.

I see. "Logically-speaking".

It's... Oh, right. I saw on my phone that you texted me

last night.

You saw it?

Of course, I did. How could I miss it? It said so on my phone.

"The message has been deleted".

By the way, what was that about?

Why did you text me that late and delete it?

What? It's nothing. It was a mistake.

I see. A mistake.

I didn't know you also made mistakes. I mean you're only human too.

Why did you ask me that now instead of asking me last night?

I guess you were very busy last night.

[ - ♪ Drink it up, chug it down ♪ ] - Yes.

When you texted me, there were so many customers all of a sudden.

And the trucks were coming.

I was sweating, and there was so much to do.

- I see. You were busy. - Yes.

Gosh, this is especially tasty today. The noodles are great.

The chef is feeling good today. Nice.

[ So you won't tell me the truth? ]

[ - I can feel her intense gaze at my head. ] - This is good.

- Is that so? [ - She doesn't know anything, right? ]

Gorgonzola pizza.

Honey.

Gosh, it hits the spot.

- What? - What?

- Bye. - Okay.

Well, you were going to meet my parents.

Yes.

I've given that some thought.

I think it's polite that I meet your parents first.

My parents said the same thing.

But why all of a sudden?

"All of a sudden"?

We decided to meet each other's parents last year. Did you forget?

Well, I remember that. But you and I are both crazy busy.

Right. We're always busy.

But we should still do things properly.

Okay. Let's think about it.

Okay. That sounds great.

You're heading back to the store, right?

Yes. I have to fire the part-timer.

Why all of a sudden? Did something happen?

I left right away after getting a call from Dal-sik when we were working out.

Right.

She called her friends

and had a party in front of the store. I couldn't believe my eyes.

My goodness. So what did you do?

I mean, if she called her friends, her friends must have been young girls.

You should have drunk with them.

[ - ♪ Drink it up ♪ ] [ - ♪ Drink it up ♪ ]

[ - ♪ Chug it down ♪ ] - What are you talking about?

Why would I drink with those young girls?

I acted very much like an adult. I taught them a lesson.

I kicked all of them out.

I see.

You acted like an adult and kicked them out.

Yes, I did. They were crying and making a huge scene.

[ - ♪ Chug it down ♪ ] - They said I was scary

[ - ♪ Chug it down like a man ♪ - ♪ Chug it down like a man ♪ ]

That should never happen again.

Right. Of course.

I should get going. I should go and fire her.

Bye, Yeon-joo.

- Sweet dreams. Bye. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

I should go and fire her.

Hi.

- Mom. - Hey, you're home.

Look at this.

Oh, this must be the artwork you bought at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong.

It arrived today.

Congratulations.

Shouldn't I congratulate you?

Ms. Yoo, I prepared the tub for your bath.

- I'll go wash up. - Okay.

I'm home.

You're back.

Why did you drink? You don't usually drink.

I had a drink with beef.

Beef? I guess you must've had a good day.

Hye-su bought us a meal because she had the highest sales.

- Did you buy a massage chair? - Yes.

- How long is the installment? - 24 months.

Which card did you use?

I saw a red credit card on the dressing table.

- There's always a card. - Right.

Hey, I want some beef too.

Right. I'm so envious of you.

I'm working so much to the point where my feet are swollen

to pay off your credit card debt!

I'm walking around on these puffy feet!

But you're lounging at home while doing a cucumber facial massage

on the massage chair you bought with a 24-month installment.

I'm so jealous of you, cucumber!

I'm about to die!

I'm about to die.

But there are eggs, right?

Do we have eggs at home or not?

Answer me. Answer my question.

Shouldn't you need eggs to soothe your bruised eyes?

Get up!

Get a refund.

I took off the plastic wrap.

Don't talk back. Get a refund.

My gosh, how did I end up with such an awful husband?

What's the point of living like this?

You're so loud!

Do it quietly, so I don't hear anything.

Oh, merciful Buddha.

[ After she started working here, we're definitely getting ]

[ more customers. ]

[ - The sales went up too. ] - Please come again.

- Okay. - See you tomorrow.

- Bye. - We'll come back tomorrow.

It's worth making the trip all the way here.

Of course, don't you know who I am?

Thanks for bringing me here. You definitely deserve to be the captain.

It's 1 dollar and 50 cents.

My gosh, look how she treats the customer.

- She threw that to the customer. - Up top!

- My gosh, she's driving me crazy. - Come again! See you tomorrow.

Hey, didn't I tell you she's gorgeous?

Hey, she's so pretty.

It was because that was Saet-byul's first kiss.

That kiss?

She just put her lips on mine. That was her first kiss?

My gosh. Hey, I don't believe you.

Why did she kiss me?

Does she even like me?

- Yes. - Yes.

That's not true, right?

We were shocked to see that she kissed you.

Since we're sharing secrets, should I let you in on one more secret?

- Tell him. - That first kiss

was her last kiss!

Then...

Hold on. After that day, she has never kissed anyone.

There might be cobwebs in her mouth.

My gosh.

I am...

Water...

Wait.

Mr. Choi!

No. This isn't it. Get a grip. Choi Dae-hyun.

You came here today to fire her.

There were a lot of customers.

And the sales went up.

It was so hard to work by herself that she almost died.

This means to die?

My gosh, this is such a weird gesture. Why do I keep doing this?

So this means she almost died?

Come inside!

Hello. Should I ring it up?

- Yes. This, please. - Sure.

- Hold on, my baby. - It's two dollars.

- Do you need a bag? - No, I don't.

By the way, this convenience store is really good.

- Is it your first time here? - Yes, I just moved here yesterday.

Really? Come often.

I will. I have a big family.

Really?

What's your name? You're so adorable!

- It's Frank. - I see. Prank.

- Frank. - Prankie.

Prankie.

Bring your mom, dad, grandpa, grandma,

and all of your siblings, okay?

Wait.

My gosh, so her last kiss wasn't me.

- Bye. - Bye.

Mr. Choi.

What's wrong?

I can see a sense of betrayal in your eyes.

No. No, that's not true. What's wrong with my eyes?

Are you the manager here?

Yes. I'm the manager here. Hello.

You're very young and handsome.

Thank you. You have a beautiful dog.

- Hi. - Do you want to hug him?

Wait. This is... Darn dog.

- Darn... - "Darn dog"?

No.

- That's not what I meant. - I'm sorry.

- My Frank made a huge mistake. - Frank...

I was going to come here a lot since I moved here.

Seeing how you hate my dog,

- No. I love... - I can't ever come back.

No, you can totally come back.

- Bye. I'm leaving. - Wait. Hold on.

- Ma'am. Frank. - Gosh.

- You're not a darn dog, my baby. - I love dogs. I love puppies.

Wait, ma'am. Frank.

Come on.

Mr. Choi! Come back here!

What do you think you're doing?

She said she had a big family. I wanted her to use this store.

So I even kissed the dog. What are you doing?

What's the value and standard of your kiss?

No.

No.

Ms. Jung Saet-byul.

Come here.

Come this way.

- What is it? - Ms. Jung Saet-byul.

Explain to me about last night, please.

"Please"?

Why are you being so formal?

Stop it. Do you think this is a joke?

Please explain.

You're asking me if you made mistakes because you blacked out, right?

You made a lot of mistakes.

You were awful. I should buy a new set of eyes.

- They didn't see... - Hey.

Hey, that's not what I meant.

You brought your friends here last night and drank.

- Didn't I do a good job? - What do you mean?

You drank with your friends during your working hours.

I came here to fire you. Did you get that?

What? Listen. I helped you increase sales. Do I deserve to be fired?

What sales?

My friends bought a lot from the store.

They didn't buy from here. They just ate whatever they wanted from the store.

They paid you.

They didn't pay me. What money?

- In your back pocket. - What's there?

- The other pocket. - What? What is it?

Hey, what is this? Is this 200 dollars?

Don't you remember?

You even did the hula dance for my friends.

And they gave you the change for your tip.

Don't you know the hula dance?

The hula dance. You did it, so you must know what it is.

- Hula dance. - You mean,

I did the hula dance?

- Hey. - Thank you. Come again.

- Hula, hula. - My gosh.

- Hey, stop it. - Hula.

I should pay you in cash.

- Be nice to Saet-byul. - Be nice to me.

I don't need a receipt, discounts, or points.

Hey, call your friend, so I can...

So you can give it back?

Can you ask her if she needs a cash receipt?

She doesn't need receipts.

Well, then.

Anyway, Saet-byul,

increasing sales is important,

but you shouldn't be drinking when you should be working.

This is your first warning.

Hey.

Money isn't everything. Okay?

Okay.

What's his deal? Seriously.

How could he shake his bottom for them?

My gosh, you're so stupid.

Why did you take the money and do the hula dance?

Forget about firing her. She has one up on me.

Seriously. She's driving me crazy.

Gosh, I must've gone mad.

- Mr. Choi, please come out here. - What?

Hey, you. What?

- Mr. Choi. - Yes?

You sold cigarettes to him today, right?

Yes, earlier.

How can you sell cigarettes to minors?

You always have problems.

No way. He's a college student.

College...

Hey.

- No! - You little jerk. Come here.

I should have known. You always bought two packs.

I'm sorry.

You told me that you're majoring in mechanical engineering.

[ He's a high school kid. ]

[ He stole the college student's jacket at a bar. ]

We'll take an administrative measure

for selling cigarettes to a minor.

Wait. No. It's...

[ If you sell cigarettes to minors, your store is suspended for two months. ]

[ Did we know they were minors? ]

[ Selling cigarettes doesn't give a lot of profits! ]

[ Besides, look at the kids these days. ]

[ Some kids look as old as 40-something years old. ]

[ Let's get to the point. What's today's theme? ]

[ It's the Protection Law for Good Business Owners. ]

[ If you sell cigarettes to minors because you fell ]

[ for the fake IDs, presented by the minors, ]

[ the law can lift the suspension of the business. That's it. ]

[ What's the key point here? ]

[ We must provide the footage in which we checked their IDs. ]

[ You must submit that footage. ]

[ Without this, your store will be suspended! ]

[ You'll be on vacation for two months against your will. Got that? ]

[ March ]

Mr. Choi.

Are you sure you checked his ID?

Yes.

- When? - When that jerk first came.

- When was that? - So that was...

Gosh.

Gosh, I don't know. It's so hard to remember.

I don't think it's been more than six months,

so I'm going to take a look.

[ Remaining time: 300 hours ]

It's going to take 300 hours to download everything.

How are you going to check?

Saet-byul, you should get back to work.

The customers will leave if you're not there.

- Just get back to work. - Let me help.

No, I'll figure out a way.

[ Play 4 times faster ]

Gosh, I remember that day.

What are you doing outside?

Hey, Mr. Choi. Did you find the footage?

No, not yet.

Saet-byul, don't tell my family about this.

Why not?

Just don't.

I'll try to handle it on my own.

I don't want to worry my parents.

[ Dae-hyun didn't come home yesterday. ]

He was at the convenience store.

Why? He hired a part-timer. Why did he spend the night there?

Do you think that punk likes Saet-byul?

What kind of nonsense is that? Will you stop being so absurd?

How is this absurd?

Why do you always have a problem with everything I say? You little...

Have you gone nuts? Do you want to start the day with a fight?

How about some coffee?

Should I add a lot of sugar?

I've been drinking black coffee my entire life. Why would I want sugar?

Mr. Choi, I can't let you do this.

What are you still doing here? You should go home.

How can I go home?

Thanks for everything. I'll make sure to pay you for the extra hours.

Let's worry about that later and find the footage first.

Did you find anything?

Mr. Choi, this... I mean, he's here again.

Are you sure he's your friend?

Yes. And for your information, he's Korean.

I'm an original Korean.

I know I look very young for my age,

but I was born five months after Dae-hyun.

I think you meant "old", not "young".

Dae-hyun.

You should get some rest. I'll take a look at it instead.

No, it's okay. Just upload your webtoon.

I stayed up all night and finished it. You should go wash at a sauna.

- He's right, Mr. Choi. - What?

Go to a sauna.

Okay, you're right. Thank you so much.

Dal-sik, thank you. Eat this.

You should get back to work.

- Do me a favor. - Sure.

Dae-hyun, just trust me.

We met in middle school and spent half of our lives together.

I'll show you the true meaning of a loyal friend.

- Doesn't it feel like we're at a museum? - Yes.

Right? What was the name of the first human species again?

- It started with an "A". - Oh, I know. Australopithecus.

Yes, that's the one. I guess they're not extinct yet.

- My gosh. - Oh, my goodness!

Darn it!

- Who are you, old lady? - "Old lady"?

Gosh, this caveman knows how to make me angry. Who are you?

I'm the manager's friend.

- "Friend"? - "Friend"?

Listen. We'll take over. You should just leave.

Take over what? I was already doing it!

You don't look very trustworthy.

What are you looking at, old lady? I've been doing a good job.

Call me "old lady" one more time. I'm 22 years old.

You look like you're in your 40s. How did you age like that?

No wonder they say looks matter. Watch what you say, you caveman.

Yes, that's right. Why don't you join the party?

- No, stop! Dal-sik! - Come on out!

Dal-sik, are you okay?

- Why would you fight? - We didn't fight!

We just had a conversation.

That old lady is crazy.

Mr. Choi, your friend's face got crushed. You guys crushed his face!

No, don't worry. This is how he looks.

- I'm bleeding. - Dal-sik, calm down.

- Hey. - Stop it.

- You darn little brats. - Let's get out of here.

Gosh, please don't fight. What's wrong with you guys?

That little jerk.

Hey!

- My gosh, my hair! - Stop it!

Let go! Let her go!

- Gosh, stop... Ouch! - Get off me!

Hey! My gosh! Hey, stop!

He pulled my hair out! I can't believe this!

What's wrong with you guys? Why would you fight with him?

I want you to stay up all night and take turns checking the footage, okay?

- I'll kill you if you miss anything. - You're so mean.

- They're unbelievable. - Hey!

Why dd you get into a fight?

I asked you to watch the CCTV footage, but you got into a fight?

I'm only holding it in because of you.

I got beaten up by a couple of girls.

Your nose is bleeding! Wipe the blood.

Those darn brats.

Gosh, you embarrass me so much.

Hey, Yeon-joo.

Right now?

Yeon-joo, I don't think this is a good time.

[ Dae-hyun, I'm in a real hurry. ]

Okay, I'll be right there. Yes, of course I should go.

I won't take long. Wait right there.

Are you going somewhere?

Something... Something urgent came up.

What is it?

You don't need to worry about it.

- Mr. Choi. - Yes?

Is it more urgent than this?

Yes, I'll be right back. It won't take long.

Wait for me. Tell your friends to be careful.

My gosh.

I want to kill that jerk.

Hey, you guys can go home. This is just a waste of time.

Gosh, go home already!

Why is she so fickle?

I bet it all comes from love.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Gosh, what do I do?

- Yeon-joo! - Dae-hyun! Hurry!

- Are you okay? What... - Thank you. I'm glad you're here.

- Are you okay? The car... - I always think of you when I need help.

Gosh, it's natural for you to ask me for help.

What can you ever do without me?

Stop talking in that tone. The insurance company will be here soon.

- Oh, okay. I'll use this chance to check... - Yes, yes.

I'm late. I need to go now.

Right. You're late. Go on.

I know you can't be late.

- See you later. - Okay, bye.

- Yeon-joo, good luck. - I'll call you later.

My gosh, come on. I don't have time for this right now.

♪ Lady, you look so pretty ♪

♪ You're so pretty that you make me go dizzy ♪

Ms. Gong.

I'm going home now.

Okay, I'm sure you had a long day.

By the way, Ms. Gong, do you smoke?

No, I hate the smell of cigarettes.

Then why did you kiss the cigarette pack?

Because this helps us make money.

Lots of customers come to buy cigarettes and end up buying tons of other stuff.

The guy who just left spent 48 dollars when he actually came here for cigarettes.

I know it's best to tell them to quit.

But it's hard to do that when I think of the sales.

Making a living is very hard.

I guess cigarettes are really important.

Yes, they take up half the sales of all convenience stores.

Anyway, where in the world is Dae-hyun?

Why is the manager gone for so long?

Sir, stop! Stop! Wait!

You can go ahead without me. I'll call you.

Hey, don't sell cigarettes to this guy.

You came here to buy cigarettes even after what you did to me?

Gosh, you startled me.

I guess you don't care because you don't get punished.

What do you want me to do? That's the law.

Hey, listen. When was the first day you came to our convenience store?

Why?

So you can prove that you asked for my ID?

Gosh, I don't think I remember.

I bet you do.

You came from the precinct and hospital. You were wearing a bandage.

Unbelievable. If you know so well, why are you asking me?

Just tell me the exact date of when you first came.

That's all I need to know.

Why would I do that? Why?

"Why"? "Why"?

Hey, you jerk!

You might think our store is a place where you buy cigarettes.

But to our family, it's our lifeline.

We bet everything on that store.

My mom's money, my dad's health,

and my entire future. It holds the future of our entire family!

I won't let a guy like you have an effect on our sales.

The only thing you can't sell are cigarettes.

Why are you making it sound like it's such a big deal?

It's not like your store is shutting down. You're allowed to sell everything else.

You're a real piece of trash. My gosh, you little...

Are you going to hit me? Go ahead.

Do you think I won't be able to hit you?

- The CCTV is right there. - The CCTV...

My gosh, you were saved by the phone call. You scumbag.

Consider yourself lucky.

- Hello? [ - Mr. Choi, we're in trouble! ]

What is it? What happened this time?

[ The convenience store... ]

Saet-byul! Wait! I'll be right...

Hey, you... You little...

If it weren't for the phone call, I would've... My gosh.

- Sir, please scold him. - Oh, okay.

Darn it.

That was so lame.

I can't believe he followed me here.

Can I have a Soboro Red?

This doesn't look like you.

It's me. I was born in 1991, the year of the sheep.

Judging by your conversation, it seemed like...

Well, you got it wrong! This is me!

It's him.

Nice.

Look at him.

Do we really have to do this?

[ Hey, go after him. Don't lose him, okay? I'll be right there. ]

Hey!

She always hangs up once she's done talking.

Do we even need to stalk that guy?

It's our fault for having a friend who's madly in love.

Darn it.

I see you bought a cigarette.

The manager is so petty. I can't believe he sent you.

- Do you know me? - Of course.

I purposely avoided your working hours to buy cigarettes there.

Then you must know that I'm nothing like the manager.

The store is his family's source of income,

and his life depends on it.

But I don't have a family, and I got expelled.

So I have nothing to lose or fear.

But do you know why I'm doing this?

How do you think I'd feel if I don't get paid

because the convenience store doesn't make enough money

due to a jerk like you?

Actually, you know what? You can pay me instead.

Are you filthy rich? Are you?

Are you rich or not?

If you hit me, I'll call the cops.

I'll call them for you

to tell them you're dead.

That lollipop is really getting on my nerves.

Do you know what ivy symbolizes?

- What? - Repeat after me.

Cigarettes...

Hurry up and repeat after me! Cigarettes...

"Cigarettes"

- ...take up half the sales - "take up half the sales"

- of convenience stores. - "of convenience stores."

[ Ivy symbolizes symbiosis. ]

Let me ask you one last time. Tell me the date.

The eighth of January!

The eighth of January! The eighth of January!

The 8th of January at 6:00 p.m.!

6:00 p.m.!

6:00 p.m.!

Saet-byul! Hey, Saet-byul.

What happened? Are you okay?

- I figured it out. - Figured what out?

- Let's go inside. - What is it?

The eighth of January.

6:00 p.m.

[ Search by date ]

Here it is.

[ Taesung University ]

Wait. Let me download this.

- There. We did it. - Thank goodness.

We're all done.

Here. I'm sure this can save you from the administrative measure.

Thank you. We'll be able to get an extenuation.

I'm relieved.

Saet-byul, wait.

What... What happened?

I must've bumped into something while I ran over here.

My goodness. Wait here.

You should've been more careful.

Does it hurt?

Are you okay?

Yes.

Why did you do this for me?

If my store gets suspended, we won't get a lot of cigarette customers,

and you'll have less work to do. It's not like you'll get paid any less.

Yes, I know. Obviously, the convenience store

isn't as important to you as your girlfriend.

So it must be weird to see a part-timer care so much.

Hey, about what happened earlier... I had to go...

It's okay. I don't care about that.

I only took care of this issue for one reason.

That's because you promised to hire me

as an official part-timer if I helped you take care of this issue!

And I did, so I'm an official part-timer. Take this off now.

It's official now.

- Says who? - What?

What are you talking about? You said it yourself.

I asked you about it last night,

and you gave a nod like this.

When did I do that? Where? How? Why?

I don't remember.

My gosh, you were sitting here like this.

- "Okay, sure." - What? Unbelievable.

When did I ever say that to you?

Are you just making things up because I was sleeping?

I don't remember saying that.

My gosh, are you serious?

Okay, fine. I guess I have no choice.

I'll just give up on being an official...

You must think I'm really slow.

Saet-byul, there's something I want to check.

What's that?

Saet-byul, by any chance...

Three...

[ "Three"? Three years ago? ]

[ When we first met? ]

- "Three"? - Were you...

No, I mean...

Your...

- Your first... [ - First what? First kiss? ]

[ Is he finally going to ask me? ]

"First"? First what?

Well... The first...

The first column.

The first column of the third display stand is empty.

I kept telling you that it's empty. Why haven't you filled it up already?

When will you officially get hired by slacking off like that?

You have a long way to go.

Do I need to explain every little detail to you?

Will you please work harder?

What...

What? I don't...

I feel like he wanted to talk to me about what happened three years ago.

Maybe I should've asked him more questions.

He wants me to look away?

[ Part-timer Wanted ]

My gosh. You should be thanking me.

- Excuse me. - Hello. Welcome.

[ I'm worried I might've treated her ]

[ exactly like how I was treated in the past. ]

[ - Dae-hyun! ] - Yes, sir?

Did you write this?

Is this the best you can do? Is it because you went to a community college?

This is why I can't ignore people's educational backgrounds.

Sir, I wrote that.

It was you?

[ - I was too biased to see her ] - Here you go.

[ - for whom she really is. ] - Thank you. Bye.

[ Hey, Dae-hyun. ]

Yeon-joo, you weren't late to your meeting, were you?

No, but I would've been late if it weren't for you.

What a relief. I'll drive your car back to your office tomorrow.

[ Thank you. ]

There's no need to thank me for this. By the way, Yeon-joo,

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

I'm not going to fire the part-timer.

What?

Why not? You seemed so eager to fire her.

- I had a misunderstanding. - What misunderstanding?

I thought she was reckless, but I was wrong.

And I can really use her help at the convenience store.

You're being too hasty.

You promised to think about it and discuss it with me...

[ Yeon-joo. ]

I know you were my boss when I used to work in the PR team.

But this is regarding my convenience store.

And I've made up my mind as the manager.

So I'd like you to respect my decision.

I see.

Okay then. Do whatever you want.

I think she's angry.

Ms. Yoo Yeon-joo.

Hello, sir.

Why haven't you gone home yet?

I'm getting ready for the presentation tomorrow.

You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I haven't eaten either.

Yeon-joo.

We're at work, sir. Please call me Ms. Yoo.

Okay, Ms. Yoo. I apologize.

Is your boyfriend's convenience store doing well?

It's our franchise, so I'm sure you know his sales.

So can I ask you why you're asking?

I'm asking how satisfied he is.

Our franchises need to be happy in order for the company to grow.

Let's not talk about someone who isn't here right now.

Then should we talk about us?

Yes, let's do that. Let's talk about work.

Did you prepare everything for tomorrow's presentation, sir?

[ I found this among the CCTV footages. ]

[ I bet both Eun-jo's and my life ]

[ that you'll change your mind once you see this footage. ]

What is she saying? What is this?

My gosh, really? Not only is he handsome, but he even knows how to dance.

I can't believe this. Dae-hyun, what can't you do?

My gosh.

I can't seem to trust her.

What if she's holding a party with her friends because I'm not there?

My gosh.

Let's see.

Let's see what she's up to.

My gosh, look at her.

Look at what she's doing when she should be working right now.

What? She knows how to dance.

Wait a minute.

That's my dance.
