YOU PICK ME UP, THEN PUT ME DOWN

Your suits are getting louder every day.

I'll take that as a compliment.

What's that book?

Oh, this? I want to read it while I wait.

Ms. Good Morning...

Someone recommended it to me.

ON THE STREETS OF EUROPE

TRAVELOGUE BY JUNG HYEON-TAE

Are you the director of her company?

You should go now.

Hyeon-tae is one of the most good-looking guys in our neighborhood.

So he's just a writer.

Do you know him?

I made a dinner reservation for you

after your meeting with Royal Department Store.

It's on the VIP floor--

-Cancel it. -Pardon?

I'll return to the office after the meeting.

I'm going to have the meal box for dinner.

Can I have my book back--

Darn it.

Mr. Cha.

Gosh, I thought he wasn't going to have dinner here today.

TOM YUM SOUP

NASI GORENG

Maybe dinner is just an excuse and not what he really wants.

Ms. Lee, we're heading out first as usual.

Good work today, guys.

We almost got a complaint because

we ran out of cucumber kimchi today.

Will you get your act together already?

I'm so sick of this.

Is everything okay with Ms. Wang?

I guess her disk is herniated again.

Her disk?

Because she works standing up.

She's refusing surgery saying that she has to work.

She's supporting her family, so she can't quit her job either.

Please try to understand.

We should go now.

See you tomorrow.

-Goodbye. -Bye, guys.

Oh, his dinner.

These are rice balls made with minced meat.

Your request was unexpected, so I used the ingredients--

Fine. You can go.

DIRECTOR CHA JIN-WOOK

I can do this.

Hey.

You said you'd get off work soon. What's taking you so long?

The Three Meals Jerk is driving me crazy.

He's asked for more food so many times...

I just made him a second dinner.

Can you believe that?

-Is he even human? -Jeez.

Anyway,

serving the glutton made me run late.

We should cancel the picnic in Han River Park.

Should I go pick you up then?

Really?

You'll pick me up?

Hey, let me call you back.

Is someone coming to pick you up?

Well, not exactly...

What brings you down here?

I'm hungry.

What?

I'm thinking...

instant noodles.

BEER AND BOOK

Yu-mi isn't home yet? I thought the three of you were going out.

She's busy today.

Really?

Then Hyeon-tae, why don't we close up and grab a drink together?

It must be the cold weather.

I'm getting sort of depressed.

I'm sorry. I had too much to drink with my friends yesterday.

I'm going out to get some air.

Okay.

Is there something going on between them?

Hyeon-tae, why did you do that yesterday?

Well, if your friend is getting harassed by some guy,

should you just sit around?

Are you sure that's all it was?

I have no idea.

I knew he was being too quiet.

He almost got me fired before for not eating anything all day long.

Is there a starving beggar in his stomach?

He's not even that great.

What am I doing right now?

Why am I using meat broth to make some instant noodles?

DAEBOK

You must have had a busy day.

You seem especially hungry today.

I had mountains of work to do, but I was way too hungry

to stay focused.

Right, the trivet.

-One second. -I have it.

The trivet.

ON THE STREETS OF EUROPE

What are you doing? Hurry up and put it down.

Hey, is this Hyeon-tae's--

This is my assistant's book. It's perfect as a trivet.

Take a seat.

Wait here until I'm done.

No, I have to get ready to go home.

Please return the dishes to the return window after you're done.

Take a seat.

Were you supposed to go on a date?

Did I ruin it?

Mr. Cha.

By any chance, and I'm taking a stab in the dark here,

but does this trivet here have anything to do

with you eating your third dinner right now?

Ms. Lee.

Do I look like a guy with that much time on my hands?

Well, no.

The noodles are getting soggy.

Ms. Lee.

I need to check something.

Like what?

Excuse me. I need to get some water.

Your habitual hiccups.

I think I know what it means.

I'm not sure what you mean...

That...

only happens with me, doesn't it?

What is it?

Do I make you nervous?

Hiccups are just

a physical response to contractions of the diaphragm muscle.

Come on, you're a smart man.

I'm sure you know why people get hiccups.

That wasn't my question, was it?

It's not that I'm nervous.

I just feel uncomfortable.

You feel uncomfortable?

Why? Not because of me, right?

It is you.

You don't know how uncomfortable you make people, do you?

Whenever I see you,

I think of the past I want to forget.

That's why you make me really...

You make me extremely uncomfortable.

Ms. Lee.

Is that a good enough answer?

I'll get going now.

BEER AND BOOK

A few of them don't fit on your fingers.

-Did you run away? -Jeez.

Here. I found your stuffed cat.

Jeez, that Three Meals Jerk sure has a variety of ways to bully you.

Isn't that right?

Dong-gu, don't play for too long. It's almost time for bed.

Bye.

Mr. Jung.

Whose kid is this? Is he your nephew?

He's my son.

Right, my son? Here.

Yu-mi must be feeling down.

Will you turn that thing off?

What's with you?

Those were my glorious and beautiful days.

Turn it off before I throw it out.

You're old enough to know what's up. Why are you acting shy?

Do you have any idea how much that ruined my life?

What are you talking about?

You wouldn't understand anyway.

Her temper is getting worse and worse.

It's all because she can't date.

Hiccups are just a physical response to contractions of the diaphragm muscle.

Whenever I see you,

I think of the past I want to forget.

You make me extremely uncomfortable.

She's one to talk.

Man, I can still see it.

So bitter.

It's my first time drinking in three years.

Goodness, what is this dietitian doing?

You're drinking just soju?

Eat this.

It's fish sausage. Eat it.

You should try to understand your mom.

You know she's always been eccentric.

Until when?

How much longer?

How much longer do I have to understand her?

Do you remember that time in high school?

Ever since then,

I've tried my best to understand my mom.

But she always has to get her way.

She just suddenly shows up and messes up everything.

No matter how much I try to understand, my mom is...

READY TO BE POPPED

Why did you bring a videotape? You can download these nowadays.

My mom put a kids' lock on my computer.

Hey, did you watch Ready to Be Popped too?

-I did. -I'm Ready to Be Popped.

-Really? -Her daughter is in our class.

-Look, it's her. -My gosh.

You can totally tell it's her.

-That's awful. -Seriously.

That's when it all began.

I couldn't wear what I wanted

or date just anyone I wanted to.

This all happened because of my mom.

Why did it have to be that resort?

If only she hadn't had that wedding...

I mean, of all places, you know,

I wouldn't have done that in a car

in the middle of the night at the beach

with the Three Meals Jerk like that.

Hey, what are you talking about? You're way too drunk. Let's go home.

If I hadn't done that back then,

would things be different now?

Darn it.

What am I doing with my life?

Hey, Yu-mi.

Yu-mi. Hey, you can't sleep here.

Yu-mi?

Why was I scheduled for a TV appearance?

I already have meetings back-to-back.

I'm not sure. It was the chairman's order.

The chairman?

We can use this chance to promote our brand.

I don't think it's a bad deal.

Are you feeling uncomfortable?

No, I just feel frustrated.

Tell them to finish within an hour.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Hyeon-tae.

Did you get home all right?

You don't have to come pick me up.

You have to work too.

Okay.

See you later.

Mr. Cha.

Aren't you getting in?

Go deliver this message to the dietitian.

Meal boxes for a group of people?

Mr. Cha wants you to prepare box lunches for the TV production crew as well.

For 10 people.

Why do I have to prepare lunch for the crew?

"Just because. That's what I want." That's what he said.

For dinner, you must prepare meal boxes in time for the brand team's meeting.

For 20 people.

Oh...

For that many people, couldn't you just have something delivered...

Probably not, right?

We probably can't have "something delivered."

Okay. I understand.

Mr. Cha, you're a savage when it comes to playing hard to get.

Hye-ri. You're behind this, aren't you?

Well, I thought I'd need a good excuse

for me to get to see you.

Anyway, you look great today.

I knew it. You're definitely my man, aren't you?

Your man, my foot.

I only belong to me.

Let's get to work since that's what I'm here to do.

Thank you for making time for us.

I heard that even though you're very busy,

you cleared your schedule as soon as Hye-ri called.

So what's going on between you two?

Oh, well...

Actually, he's my boy--

Siblings.

She's like a sister to me.

Way to call me here when I'm swamped, kiddo.

Let's eat after we're done.

We prepared some box lunches.

"We"?

Wait, did you call that dietitian?

All right, let's get started. Start the timer.

Darn it.

I thought I made myself clear

when I said you'll be doing this all alone.

Yes, you're right.

But it's too much for Ms. Lee to cook for 10 all by herself.

So then, should I quit making food for the employees

just to make some box lunches?

No, that's not what I meant.

I'm sorry that I asked for a tough favor.

I'll manage on my own.

We introduced a patented 3D technology to create underwear

that's perfect for men, and only for men. That was our motto.

Your company became number one in the industry

just three years after its launch.

What's your secret?

Let's see. Our secret?

It's me. Cha Jin-wook.

I didn't sleep or eat.

I got to where I am through my blood and sweat.

Ms. Lee, I'm sorry I couldn't help.

No, don't say that. Thanks.

It's almost lunchtime. I'll hand these over and come back.

You can do it, Ms. Lee!

I can do it.

DAEBOK

You're probably too busy to date.

No.

I dated enough when I was younger, so I don't miss anything.

I see. Sure.

But shouldn't you consider getting married at this point?

I'm not sure.

Mr. Cha. May I ask a mischievous question?

No.

I'll ask just one.

No, don't do it.

Just one.

-No, don't. -What do you think about me?

-I told you that they're dating. -This is huge.

That's Ju Hye-ri for you.

All right. Let's end it there.

That should give you enough footage.

Yes, I can just record the closing segment by myself.

Great work, everyone.

Okay, let's do that. Great job, everyone.

-Great work. -Great work.

-Great job. -Great work.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm...

I came to deliver box lunches.

All right! Box lunches.

That's great. I was getting hungry.

Box lunch delivery.

What's that?

-Enjoy. -Enjoy.

Help yourselves.

Dig in.

I want this one.

Hey, come here.

We can't eat bread when we're starving.

Let's eat some rice.

-Look, there's fruit too. -Come here.

Looks great.

What is all this?

I prepared it.

You found time in your busy day for me, so I wanted to serve you lunch.

What's with you?

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I must be so out of it.

I forgot that you were coming, Ms. Lee.

Goodness, I'm so sorry.

Gosh, I must be crazy.

This won't do.

How about we share what you brought too, Ms. Lee?

Okay? It looks great.

No, it's all right.

If you'll excuse me, I'll get going now.

Great work, Ms. Lee.

It'll be humiliating if you leave like this.

What do you think they'll think of me

if you leave while my staff is here? Eat before you go.

Hye-ri.

I'll let you slide since you're at work.

But enough is enough. Seriously.

Gosh, darn it.

I'm so pissed.

DAEBOK

There was a misunderstanding. I didn't do that on purpose.

Mr. Cha.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing right now?

I truly apologize

for ruining your proposal.

My proposal? What do you mean?

The jewelry box.

You're angry because I broke

the present you prepared for Ms. Ju Hye-ri.

Once again,

I truly apologize for that.

Don't cry.

Don't be depressed, Lee Yu-mi.

It's as if I have feelings for him or something.

No, not at all.

Not even a little.

Not even a tiny bit.

JU HYE-RI

Mr. Cha?

JU HYE-RI

What should I do with that?

DAEBOK

DIRECTOR CHA JIN-WOOK

-You have nothing on me. -What are you saying?

You should practice more before you come for me.

MENU FOR OCTOBER 16 TO 27

Yes, I'm about to prepare

-20 meal boxes for-- -I need you at the hospital immediately.

The hospital? Why?

Mr. Cha?

VIP WARD

-Oh, my gosh. -Hey.

Oh, no.

What happened?

Mr. Cha...

How did you know I was here?

I called her

because you got sick after eating her box lunches.

What?

My box lunches?

Not Ms. Ju's?

I had two and a half. After he had finished three and a half,

he suddenly felt great pain,

so I brought him to the hospital.

I have to see the doctor. Please excuse me.

If you aren't leaving, have a seat.

My neck hurts.

Did you really eat my box lunches?

Why did you eat it like a fool?

You could've just thrown them out.

You got furious at me before

for throwing out your food without touching it.

You ran over to my office.

Please tell him that instead of wasting good food,

he could just tell me what he doesn't like

and what he wants to eat...

Oh, right.

You saw that.

You were roaring like a bear.

Your nostrils even flared.

You seem to have quite the temper, Ms. Lee Yu-mi.

I guess you don't have any plans with your boyfriend today.

He's not my boyfriend.

He's just a friend.

He's my best friend.

It's not that we live together.

His shop is on the first floor,

and I rent out the second floor.

You just got the wrong idea.

So then, why did he...

Because you bullied me so much,

he felt bad for his friend and took my side, I guess.

Men and women can't be friends.

He's not a man to me. He's just Jung Hyeon-tae.

You got

the wrong idea too.

Hye-ri and I aren't

in any particular kind of relationship.

And that jewelry box has

nothing to do with her.

The heroine is someone else.

The heroine?

The heroine is...

The jewelry box...

SLEEP INDUCER, CHA JIN-WOOK

I don't want you to be sick.

DIETITIAN LEE YU-MI

WEDNESDAY: BULGOGI BIBIMBAP...

Goodness, I'll get it.

I heard you have a bad back.

Yeah.

I'm sorry I couldn't finish making the menu yesterday.

Mr. Cha called me in a hurry.

I'm really sorry.

I just need it by today.

Okay.

I'm sorry for yesterday.

It's because of my back.

I know I need surgery, but I can't seem to find any time.

I hope you can understand.

Of course, I can.

Anyway, you're looking rather bright today.

You've always looked gloomy. Do you have a boyfriend or something?

What?

No.

Gosh.

Boyfriend? What boyfriend?

Why is she overreacting?

She could've just said no.

You were hospitalized for not eating,

then again for eating too much.

Don't say a word about this at work.

If the board or the chairman find out, things will get tiring.

Yes, sir.

It's been quite a while

since you slept through the night like that.

She stayed in the hospital room until late last night.

Ms. Lee, I mean.

What? I didn't ask you.

No, we're going home. I need to take a shower.

Yes, sir.

I'm rescheduling yesterday's meeting for an hour from now.

Tell everyone to be ready.

Yes, sir.

She stayed until late at night?

I don't want you to be sick.

Yes, come in.

I made you chicken porridge for breakfast.

I hope it helps you feel better.

Are you feeling better?

Yes.

I'll be leaving now.

Wait, one second.

Grab a seat here.

Take responsibility.

What? For what?

What's he doing now?

For making me sick.

For hindering me from doing my job.

For not doing your job well as my personal dietitian.

Take responsibility for all that.

And for the jewelry box incident too.

Let's use this chance to put an end to this for good.

How do you expect me to take responsibility?

Eat with me.

So how does eating with you...

What did you say?

It looks like Jin-wook is dating someone. Look into it.

A date? This isn't a date.

-This is work. It's business! -Where's the other side?

Did you know that your dietitian is living with a guy?

You left like that yesterday too.

Avoiding me as if you saw something you shouldn't?

A business trip? Dietitians do that?

I have bad memories of this place.

Let's go to work.

I didn't have dinner, hid in the closet,

and went through all that trouble, yet it doesn't count?

Does it interest you now?

She makes it impossible for me to take my eyes off her.
