Hello.

I'll be joining the Planning Department as of today.

My name is Kim Gi-seob.

My contract is only for a year, but I will do my best.

Please think of me as a newbie and feel free to assign me to tasks.

I hope we can work well together.

What is it?

What on earth happened, Hyuk?

A cleaning staff has just been transferred to our department.

What have you done?

Are you curious, my friend?

I'll give you a reward.

-Tell me if there's anything you want. -Reward?

So I gave it some thought.

I think we have a winner.

Let's stay on the lane for the right turn.

Should I buy a fancy convertible?

The view here is amazing.

Should I buy a house with a nice view?

Is this place available immediately?

1,000,000 WON CHECK

Or should I ask for a lot of cash?

However, I, Byun Hyuk,

took my name to heart and revolutionized everything.

These people also deserve credit for the award.

I want you to hire them as full-time employees of the Planning Department.

So the chairman went along with it?

That's right.

Then, why only Mr. Kim?

RESUMÉ

Only one of them will be hired as an experienced employee.

My gosh. But all of them made a contribution.

Picking only one of them will not be fair.

Am I running a soup kitchen where everyone gets an equal share of the food?

Companies only select and hire people that can be useful.

-Dad. -What is it, punk?

Dad.

Let's say you all worked to get this pie.

But what if people ate the pie without you?

Would you be happy or not?

Is that so? So should I be fair to everyone

and not hire anyone?

No. Of course not. Thank you.

That's it.

-Gi-seob, wait up for me. -Hurry.

-Gi-seob. Goodness. -Catch up.

Good work today.

What should I do?

Honey, I'm home.

Did you eat?

I told you not to skip your meal.

Do you want me to fix you a meal?

Mom, did you have a good day?

What about our kids' tuition for the prep schools?

I'm sorry.

The rent for my studio went up this month.

I don't even expect you to pay child support.

But you should at least give me their tuition on time.

I'll send it as soon as I can. How are the girls?

Put Eun-ji on the phone.

Hi, Dad. How are you?

I'm doing well.

Dad, when will you come and see me?

My dear youngest. I'll go see you this weekend, sweetheart.

There's no need to come. Just send me the money.

WIFE

ONE-ROOM APARTMENT

This is the place.

Junior.

Mr. Kim.

What did you just say?

It's not a permanent position. It's a one-year contract.

You'll be a regular employee without a title. Will that be okay?

I'll take it. I'll take it no matter what!

But then, other people helped out, too.

How can I take this when they can't?

Of course you can.

-Tae-gyeong. -Sorry we're late.

Wait. How did you know...

I texted them.

In fact, I recommended all three of you, but only you got accepted.

I am sorry. Mr. Lee. Ms. An.

That's nonsense. You don't need to be sorry.

It's natural that he gets in because he's the master of marketing.

And Ms. An and I don't fit the criteria.

That wraps it up.

I'm happy that things worked out at least for one of us.

Congratulations, Gi-seob. I mean it.

All right.

Since we're here to celebrate, let's do a toast.

My dear friend, Gi-seob.

Congratulations on getting the job.

Thank you, everyone.

-Thank you so much. -Cheers!

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thank you for the meal in advance.

This is how it happened.

What do you think? Wasn't I really cool?

No.

"No"? You don't think so?

-Not at all? -Not at all.

You must be mistaken that you did something grand right now.

He's not mistaken. What you did was incredible.

Well done, Hyuk. That was totally cool.

Right, Jun?

Don't you think you're taking it too far?

In life, you must take things far from time to time.

And not taking any risks doesn't suit Hyuk's style.

Exactly.

A company where even retired employees can return. It's nice.

If Mr. Kim becomes a success story, it will open up to other people.

Given Mr. Kim's experience and skills,

I have no doubt that he'll do a fantastic job.

He retired five years ago.

He's been out too long.

Do you think he can do a good job after losing his touch?

Do you think he would be happy to return to work like your expectations?

I hope we can work well together, Sang-yeon.

All right.

I hope we can work well together.

I hope we can work well together, Mr. Yang.

Hi.

Here.

I hope we can work well together, Mr. Kwon.

I hope we can work well together, Hyeon-ju.

Sure, thank you.

I hope we can work well together, Yong-jun.

And I also hope to work well with you, Hyuk.

Mr. Kim. You don't have to do this.

I'm the newest recruit in this office. I ought to do my job.

Hey, Hyuk.

Address him properly. Don't call him like that.

Mr. Yang is right.

Call me by my name. It's all right.

But I can't call him by his name.

Can't I call him Junior Kim?

Junior Kim?

That's nice.

Senior Byun.

-Junior Kim. -Senior Byun.

Just ignore them.

KIM GI-SEOB

Which outfit will make me look nice?

Mom, where are you going?

Se-na, which outfit will make me look elegant and chic?

No. Should I try to look more independent?

I think she'd like that kind of person.

You need to make a good impression?

Who is it? Tell me.

I'm meeting an independent and chic woman.

Ma'am, there she comes.

Where? Where is she?

That's her.

-You stay here, Mr. Kwon. -Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me. Hey, can we...

My gosh. Hey. You!

Me?

My gosh.

What is this?

You jerk! Do you have a death wish?

She could've gotten hurt! That was so dangerous!

My gosh, she's so tough.

Are you all right? Did you get hurt?

No. I'm fine.

Thanks to you, I'm all right. What about you? Did you get hurt?

I'm fine.

This is awful. Your clothes get all wet.

Right. I spent a lot of time picking out my outfit today.

Goodness.

My house is up the hill.

Do you want to dry your clothes before you go?

-Really? -If you want to.

I want to. I totally want to.

-You must be cold. -It's cold.

-We're almost there. -Really?

-This is it. Come on up. -Okay.

-It's so cold. -Mom.

Jun, you're here.

-Who is she? -Down the road, she--

-Is she your mother? -Yes.

Hello.

Hello. May I ask who you are?

My son lives on the second floor of this building.

-On the second floor? -Yes.

My goodness.

The guy who works at Gangsu Group?

Yes, that's my son.

Is she Hyuk's mother?

My goodness. I thought his parents did such a wonderful job raising that boy.

That was you.

He's tall, handsome, and smart.

Yes. Right.

He's very young to be a manager. You must be so happy.

Pardon? A manager?

No, Mom. You're talking about Je-hun. This is Hyuk's mother.

By the way, you must be very worried lately.

A guy came out of nowhere and has been mooching off your son.

Mooch off? What do you mean?

Hold on. Wait.

Didn't you know? Gosh, she didn't know.

It seemed like an annoying friend of his moved into his house

and has been bothering your son.

What was his name? Was it Hyuk?

Right, Jun? Isn't that the moocher's name, Byun Hyuk?

What? My Hyuk is a moocher?

Aren't you cold?

Why don't you go inside? It's that way.

A moocher? My gosh. How could she say that?

Since you're here,

you should check if that moocher is paying rent and for the food.

It looked like he was eating your son's food, too.

Mom, stop it!

-What? What is it? -My gosh.

Ma'am, you must check on that. He mustn't make bad friends.

Forget it. Stop it.

I'm sorry.

My mother doesn't know him well, so she must be mistaken.

I'm sorry for not telling you who I was when we first met.

If your mother finds out, she'll be shocked,

so let's keep this a secret from her.

Okay.

Even so, how could she call him a moocher? That's quite shocking.

Should I call Hyuk and ask when he's coming home?

No. I didn't come here to see him.

Pardon?

I came here to see you.

Aren't you Baek Jun?

Yes.

I'm not good at beating around the bush. I'll get to the point.

What is your relationship with Hyuk?

We're just friends.

Come on. Don't give me the answer you give to other people.

What's the real nature of your relationship?

How serious of a commitment did you make to each other?

We're really just friends.

And we didn't make any commitment to each other.

Why not? What's wrong with my son?

Is he not good enough for you?

Because he's not educated? Or because he causes trouble?

No, it's not that.

He may have been questioned by the police,

but he doesn't have any priors.

He just went through something shocking when he was in high school,

so he has been off since then.

But before that incident, he was very smart.

My son would never mooch off anyone. He's not that type of person.

I know that.

What has Hyuk been doing to have such a poor reputation like this?

Goodness. This is annoying.

What is this?

What is this?

WORLD PLANNING'S INVESTORS

KIM GI-JUN, LEE SANG-YEONG, GO YEONG-SEONG

SIZE OF COSMETICS MARKET

I think enlarging the graph will be better.

What? Okay. I'll take care of it.

Okay.

CURRENT STATUS OF CONSUMPTION

I don't think the market research was executed correctly.

How?

I think you should include the analysis for each season.

Alcohol is a product that's very sensitive to the weather.

Mr. Kim.

I got it, so why don't you just go focus on your work?

Okay. Right.

Come to think of it, I crossed the line.

I'm sorry.

All right. I need everyone's attention.

The Food Service Department handed a project over to us.

We need an estimate for school lunches by the end of this week.

An estimate for school lunches?

This will go into the computerized system at the school for the bidding.

Everyone, bring your A-game.

Mr. Kwon, I want you to submit one.

Min-gi. Sang-yeon. I want you two to submit one each as well.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Mr. Yang, should Junior Kim and I get on that, too?

No, don't.

You don't even know what it is. Why try to butt in?

I shouldn't?

It's okay.

Gi-seob, would you like to make one?

Pardon?

Yes. I'll try my best to make one.

Hyuk, you come with me.

I want to make an estimate, too.

You don't even know how to use Excel.

-Stop talking back. Come with me. -Yes, sir.

It's pretty late. Where are we going?

Mr. Yang.

Right here.

If you want us to lower the cost, you're basically

telling us to go bankrupt, Mr. Yang.

I'm asking you to cut down on the cost for the middlemen.

The higher-ups keep ordering me.

What choice do I have? I don't have any.

Well,

aren't we more than just business partners?

-Please help us out this once. -Stop that.

-Goodness. -My gosh.

I need to lower the cost by two percent.

You're driving me crazy. I can't ever get my way with you.

Thank you, Mr. Yang. You're my savior.

All right. Why don't you come and join us for a drink?

-Have a drink. -Come.

Here. Have a drink.

Here.

I'll look forward to your help.

Okay. Drink it.

Did you see that?

You need to assess the situation and know when to pull and push.

This is the fun of negotiation.

It didn't look like negotiation. It looked like you were extorting money.

I thought we were supposed to lower the cost by one percent.

Hey, that's the skill.

I'm happy because I reached my goal.

And the subcontractor is happy because he thinks he was able to soften the blow.

It's killing two birds with one stone. It's a win-win for everyone.

Right.

You are indeed the real power behind the Planning Department.

Real power?

Gosh, you seem to know a few things now.

So you ought to learn a lot while working under me.

I'm not saying this because you're the chairman's son.

If you learn from someone like me,

it will be helpful when you run the company later.

Is that so?

I'll be your mentor, just for you. Learn from me.

I'm going home now.

Mr. Kwon, you should be happy to have such a good son.

-Pardon? -He's tall,

handsome, and smart.

My gosh, I didn't raise him.

He grew up on his own.

He's my son and all, but he didn't ask a lot from me.

Jun.

Jun.

-Did you work late? -You're leaving for the chauffeur service?

I wish you'd quit that job now.

Jun, I'm worried that you might get into an accident.

What?

Did you drink?

Yes. A bit.

Right. Your mother came by earlier.

-Mom? Whose mom? -Your mom.

-My mother? -Yes.

My mother?

My goodness.

What is this kimchi?

My goodness. This is so good.

Hey, Hyuk.

Mom. You met Jun?

Yes. I did.

My gosh. You should have told me in advance.

You can't just show up in front of her. She must've been flustered.

So what do you think about her now that you've met her?

Isn't she great and awesome?

I thought she'd be great before meeting her.

What's wrong? You don't like her?

Now that I've met her in person,

she's amazing. She's great.

Right? I knew you would like her, too.

But Hyuk, you'd better be on your toes.

Why?

I think Jun's mother is smitten with Je-hun.

What? Jun's mother is?

My mom?

What about my mom?

She said your mother's kimchi is really good. She wanted to thank you.

That's great.

Okay. I have to go. Let's talk later.

Okay.

Hyuk, go get her!

I will.

Jun's mother is smitten with Je-hun?

I see.

KIM GI-SEOB

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

Mr. Kwon, please take a look at this.

INGREDIENT ESTIMATE

The unit cost is too high.

Lower it.

This is for children.

Even if the unit cost is high,

I thought adding organic food might be better.

We all know that's better for children.

But whether or not we win the contract, isn't it more important?

You're right.

Fix it.

Okay.

You know that you're labeled...

as Hyuk's hire, right?

You must prove with your own skills

that you belong here.

If you don't,

both you and Hyuk will

be in a tight spot.

Here you go.

Hold on.

My gosh.

-Who is it? -I'm the guy next door.

-What's this? -It's my moving-in present.

What? Moving-in present?

At this hour?

You moved a while ago.

Isn't it too late to give out rice cake

for moving into the building?

-This is what the rooftop looks like. -What?

What's your relationship with the second-floor guys?

How long have you known them?

What are you doing right now?

I'm sorry. It's a force of habit because of my job.

Anyway, thanks for the food, T-1000.

It must be good to be you.

You're tall, handsome, and smart.

What are you saying?

When did you make such a good impression on Jun's mother?

What are you talking about now?

Who is it at this hour? Is it Jun?

Jun!

Is it you, Jun?

T-1000?

What are you doing? What is this about?

-My moving-in rice cake. -Rice cake?

So your unit takes up the whole floor.

Do you own this house?

Or did you move in with the deposit? Do you pay monthly rent?

What's he doing?

If you pay rent for this, it must be expensive.

How long have you been living together?

Is it after that incident?

Is it just me, or this feels like an interrogation?

I'm sorry. It's a force of habit because of my job.

Let's be honest here. Why did you move into this building?

Should there be a reason for it?

I moved in because I liked the house.

Do you expect me to believe it's just a coincidence?

It looks like you're uncomfortable that I moved into this building.

Well, it's true that it's bothering me.

Why does that bother you?

Is there a reason that makes you feel uncomfortable around me?

No, there isn't.

I'm glad that there isn't.

This is good.

I brought it from my aunt's rice cake shop.

-She's really good. -She's been doing it for 30 years.

Indeed. The flavor is very deep. I see. 30 years.

If that's all, could you please leave?

Okay. I will.

Right.

You know what? A while ago, I caught a wanted man

and got promoted.

When they promoted me, they let me choose a unit I wanted.

So I chose the Economic Crime Unit.

Just so you know.

Bye.

He must've transferred to a nice unit. Economic Crime Unit?

What do they do there?

You don't need to know. Just eat your rice cake.

This is good.

Darn it.

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

INGREDIENT ESTIMATE

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES, INGREDIENT ESTIMATE

When I walked in the restroom to clean, he covered up his nose.

I think he pulled an all-nighter.

He had a nosebleed this morning. He's in bad shape.

Here.

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

Are you kidding me?

This isn't that different from what you showed me yesterday.

I am still discussing the cost with the supplier.

If you discuss this with the supplier without a proper budget,

how can you agree on the cost?

But still, this is school food for children.

Do it again.

My gosh.

Je-hun.

Address me properly at work.

Mr. Kwon.

Aren't you being too harsh on Junior Kim?

-Harsh? How? -Junior Kim pulled an all-nighter.

Can't you see he's working hard on this?

He's not the only one working all night.

Everyone in the planning team works late or pulls an all-nighter every day.

Are you asking me to give him special treatment because you got him the job?

Don't you think you're discriminating him because of his connection to me?

He's got experience, you know.

What's the point?

He's an idealist that can't survive in our reality.

People like him cannot make good results.

That's why he got pushed off and had to resign voluntarily from his previous job.

-Did you know that? -Then,

should all idealists be pushed off from their jobs?

-What? -You can't throw out people like things.

Don't you think it's wrong to treat people like they are objects?

-Take Jun's dad as an example. -The return of a retired employee.

Is that what you want to show Jun?

If that's the case, Mr. Byun, dream on.

Companies don't exist for that.

Especially not at Gangsu Group where Chairman Byun Gang-su

is in charge.

No.

I'm not trying to lower the cost.

These ingredients will be used for school food.

Hello?

My gosh. He didn't even let me finish. He just hung up on me.

Hello, I'm calling from the Planning Department of Gangsu Foods.

It's about the dumplings we buy from you.

I'm calling to ask if it would be possible to adjust the price.

Hold on. Don't hang up. I... Hello?

May we sit here?

My gosh. Please sit down.

I'm eating a meal with a man wearing a tie.

It's an honor.

You're ridiculous.

How's work?

Well, I'm just learning how it works around here.

Let me see.

The rice cake for tteokbokki is 3,000 won. The sauce is 1,900 won.

Gi-seob.

The cost for each ingredient is too high on this estimate.

Since children will be eating them,

I wanted to include good ingredients.

You can't lower the prices through phone calls.

You should go over there and talk to them in person.

Well, there are just so many suppliers.

It's hard to do that alone.

-You're not alone, Mr. Kim. -What?

Any plans on the weekend?

How about some fresh air in the countryside?

-Sounds great. -I'm busy.

-So I'm in. -My gosh.

Goodness.

Today, we're meeting an ingredient supplier.

If this talk with him goes well,

we can definitely lower the prices.

Okay.

-You're already here. -Mr. Yang.

It's an honor to meet you here. Thank you.

Mr. Min?

My goodness, it's been a while.

Nice to see you.

-Take a seat. -Okay.

Mr. Yang, what's going on here?

He's the CEO of the ingredient supply company.

Is there something wrong?

That's right. Something is wrong.

Come on, Mr. Byun. Let's bury the hatchet.

Because of you, I shut down my labor service company.

I'm not holding anything against you.

-All right. Take a seat. -Sit down.

We need to negotiate the prices.

All right. Okay.

Let's forget about our past and just focus on our future together.

Mr. Yang, let me pour you a shot first.

Thank you.

Mr. Byun.

Here.

Let's drink it up. Cheers!

Cheers. All right.

It feels like something has gone wrong on so many levels.

KIM GI-SEOB

Hyuk.

It's Jun. Jun.

What? Did you drink again?

I did.

If you got Mr. Kim a job,

you should feel responsible and try to help him.

Why are you drinking instead?

But Jun, this is part of my job, too.

-Who said that? -Mr. Yang did.

So I'm now doing my best

to learn how Gangsu Foods operates.

You look exhausted. Go in and get some sleep.

What are you doing?

Bye.

I missed you all day, Jun.

Even though you didn't miss me.

It's due tomorrow.

How is it going?

I'll be able to lower the cost by five percent of the organic ingredients.

So you'll continue to push for organic ingredients?

Organic food is the new trend of school food.

If Gangsu Foods uses it too,

I'm sure we will have a great shot at winning the bid.

Stop it.

-Pardon? -Don't waste your time on a losing game.

Make another list with regular ingredients and get me an estimate.

Mr. Kwon.

Just do as I say.

Wait.

Je-hun. When did you get here?

Hey, why are you dozing off here?

I must've been tired.

If you're tired, take a nap at the lounge.

Why is he getting all grumpy at me?

My gosh, that was a nice nap.

We're here.

Hello. Nice to see you again.

The best way to cure a hangover is to drink some more.

It's you again?

What's this, Mr. Yang?

We already settled on the prices last night.

Last night, we settled on the prices for the ingredients.

Today, it's the containers.

-Containers? -Yes.

Sit down. Are you going to stand all day?

Take a seat.

Sit.

Mr. Min owns a container company as well.

How many companies do you own?

They are all small companies.

I have two separate ingredient and container corporations.

And I also supply wrappers.

This is why I do business with Mr. Min.

And as for the ingredient estimate,

if I did business with just him, it would've been settled by now.

My goodness.

I make a living thanks to Gangsu Foods.

Mr. Min.

Thanks to you, I'm living a good life, too.

Is that so?

-Let me pour you a drink. -Okay.

Something feels wrong again.

This feels really off now.

KIM GI-SEOB

Where's Gi-seob?

He left to talk to the supplier and settle the prices face to face.

He went there himself?

My gosh, you can't ask me to do that. How will I make a living?

If you continue doing business with us, I'll return the favor sometime.

How will I make a living, then? Leave now.

I don't want to talk about this anymore. Just leave.

My goodness. Why don't you drink this?

-Ma'am, take one. -Thank you.

-What's this? Nice. -Here, sir.

My goodness, ma'am. Give that to me. Let me.

-Give me that and rest up. -Why are you giving me this?

Yes. It's going well on our side. What about you guys?

It's not working well on our end.

No. I'm heading to the chicken farm.

Mr. Kim wanted to negotiate with the pig farm owner.

My gosh, you must be exhausted, Jun.

It's nothing, Ms. An.

I'm fine.

Okay. Let's talk later.

Baek Jun?

She already got off work with Mr. Lee and Ms. An.

It looked like they were busy.

They adjusted the schedule with the night shift workers and got off early.

Is that so?

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Bye.

Gi-seob, the cabbage farm is on board.

Okay. So is the pig farm owner.

This is odd. Jun isn't answering her phone.

She's not answering?

BUS ROUTES

No.

Why did my phone die now of all times?

What time is it?

YONGCHEOP SUPERMARKET

Excuse me.

Do you need anything?

Ma'am, I'm sorry to barge in,

but the bus isn't coming. The last bus should've been here a while ago.

My gosh. The schedule's changed.

What?

The schedule on the bus stop is for summer.

In wintertime, the last bus stops running earlier than the schedule.

Oh, no.

Ma'am, I'm sorry, but could I borrow your cell phone?

Thank you.

That's so old.

INCOMING CALL

CALL ENDED

-This is Kwon Je-hun speaking. -Je-hun.

What's taking him so long?

Je-hun.

I'm sorry. Thank you for coming.

-It's cold. Get in the car. -Okay.

I didn't know the schedule for the last bus changed.

The supermarket's closed, and my phone's dead.

Did you have to go out of your way to help him?

You know, Mr. Kim told me

that school lunches are both eaten by rich and poor kids.

So he wants to go with the best ingredients.

He said that way, he could feel proud in front of his kids.

Despite his effort, it won't get picked.

Je-hun, what do you think your company makes?

It's food, not some objects.

Don't just focus on the business aspects like competitive pricing.

Shouldn't you approach your job from a different point of view?

Mr. Kim wanted you to beat Mr. Yang.

That's why everyone has been working hard.

Let's go. Go!

I fixed it a while ago when it was acting up. What is it this time?

The car broke down?

Jun! Jun, are you sleeping?

If you're not sleeping, have some beer with me.

Jun!

Jun.

Where did she go? Did she already leave for her chauffeur service?

Je-hun.

Mon ami.

Watashino tomodachi...

It's pretty late. Why isn't he home?

Is he working late?

MR. KIM

Yes, Mr. Kim.

No. Junior Kim, hello.

Yes. Jun?

What? Jun isn't?

-Yes, what is it? -Je-hun, we have a problem.

Mr. Kim just called me to say Jun isn't answering her phone.

She's with me.

So you and Jun...

What? You're with her?

Yes, I'm with her. I think we'll be very late.

Very late? Why?

Where are you two?

You don't need to know. Don't wait up. Go to sleep.

What's wrong with your car?

I can't start my car.

MR. TWISTED BREADSTICK JE-HUN

He's with Jun?

He'll be very late.

I shouldn't wait for him and just go to sleep?

What does this all mean?

-Jun. -Yes?

Since we're spending the night together,

let's go home late.

Should we?

We already told Hyuk not to wait and go to sleep first.

He probably understood, right?

Right?

Hun.

Jun.

No! Don't do that.

Why am I having such ridiculous imaginations?

It's Je-hun.

It's Jun, Hyuk.

It's Je-hun.

It's Jun, Hyuk.

You're such an old fart!

You're a little kid with no sense of logic.

You're so twisted. Like a twisted breadstick.

That's it.

Je-hun and Jun can't stand each other.

Of course. Yes.

Hyuk, get a grip!

He's handsome and tall. And he's already a manager at the company.

Do you know how much Jun's mother is smitten with him?

You shouldn't lower your guard around Je-hun.

Son, get your head in the game!

No.

He's a tall and handsome guy.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Oh, no. No!

-Please sign here. -Sure.

Hey, why are you dozing off here?

I must've been tired.

What am I doing? She's sleeping.

It can't be. What if something happens between them?

What if they're not coming home today?

No.

Just stop thinking.

They are just late tonight.

No. They are just late.

They are just late. That's it.

What are you doing here?

It's nothing.

I see.

Actually, Jun and Je-hun...

What? What about Je-hun? What is it?

What is it? Talk. Just talk.

What?

Try to talk.

Je-hun, what do you think your company makes?

It's food, not some objects.

Don't just focus on the business aspects like competitive pricing.

Shouldn't you approach your job from a different point of view?

Is it morning?

Yes, it is.

Drink this.

Thank you.

None for me?

I'm sorry. I only had enough for one cup.

Bye.

Jun.

Jun.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Jun, are you all right?

What do you mean?

Jun.

-We need to talk. -What?

Je-hun.

Je-hun.

Je-hun.

Hey, what happened to you guys?

You've been with Je-hun until now?

His car broke down. We had to get it fixed on our way here.

It's been a rough night for him because of me.

Is that all?

What are you thinking?

Je-hun and I are just friends.

Right?

You're just friends. I'm sure nothing happened. Right, Je-hun?

Think what you want.

What did you say?

No, I won't think about it.

I will not think about that, my friend.

Aren't you going to work?

What was that smile?

Je-hun!

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

CHICKEN AND DUCK, 1ST GRADE

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

I'm sorry. I tried to cut down on the cost more, but...

That's all right.

Pardon?

Let's submit this.

What?

PROPOSED ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

CHICKEN AND DUCK, 1ST GRADE

Mr. Kwon, do you expect me to submit this?

If you don't like it, I'll submit it myself.

Hey, you...

Fine. I can overlook other factors,

but how can our company lose one percent of the profit?

You've got to be kidding me. Forget it.

I'll submit Min-gi's. You're out of this project.

What is it? Are you not confident?

What? Hey.

-What do you mean by that? -Je-hun.

Why are you insisting on submitting this absurd estimate?

Whether this gets picked or not,

I wanted to show you that this is also our option.

That's right.

The executives will decide on this anyway.

I see. Do whatever you want, then.

All right, then.

Do whatever you want.

Mr. Kim.

I looked over the estimates you both proposed.

We'll go with this.

Mr. Seol, my apologies

for submitting two proposals and creating confusion.

-Not yours. -Pardon?

Mr. Kwon.

I decided to go with your proposal.

Even if we give up on a bit of our profit,

I evaluated that your proposal will benefit the company in the long run.

It was a unique idea that suits the trends.

Well done.

What are you doing?

Someone else came up with the proposed estimate.

-Gi-seob, come. -Yes.

Your proposal was chosen.

Proceed with this.

Pardon?

Really?

Thank you, Mr. Kwon.

Thank you so much.

It worked!

-Good job. -We did it.

Kim Gi-seob!

Good luck, Gi-seob!

What on earth are you thinking?

What do you mean?

You got Gi-seob a job in the Planning Department.

I want to know your real intention.

Tell me. What is it?

I wanted to find out if it was possible or not.

I want to see if there could be a picture.

What's the picture you want to draw?

A world where you win.

Honey, it's me.

What's this money?

Actually, I got a real job.

I'm working in the Planning Department at Gangsu Foods.

It's not a permanent position. I'm on a contract as an experienced employee.

Dad, you're not working at the construction anymore?

Of course not. I work in the office now, you brat.

Then, can I go to a math prep school, then?

Dad, I want to get piano lessons.

Of course. You can take all those lessons.

I'll help you get all the lessons you want now.

Yes.

And the world where Mr. Kim...

Stop penny-pinching now.

...and people like Jun

win.

Here.

Nice photos.

Thank you.

Do you think that's possible?

Perhaps.

Perhaps, my friend.
