You have a meeting tomorrow at 11 a.m. regarding the special exhibition.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A SPECIAL TOMORROW

TOMORROW, 11 A.M. MEETING REGARDING THE SPECIAL EXHIBITION

TOMORROW, SPECIAL

Are you really just here to work?

You're totally dressed for a date.

Well, I won't deny that.

After telling everyone, you've become so honest.

The Road to Si-an, how shall I return your notebook?

I will get back to you later.

That was all one person?

THE ROAD TO SI-AN

I'll join the fanpage.

ENTER NAME

Ryan Gold.

Ryan Gold. Ryan...

NA HUI-YEON

DATE OF BIRTH: APRIL 2ND, 1980

SEX: FEMALE

Since my name is Hui-yeon...

A nickname that I would never use.

A nickname I would never use...

An incident that made me a fan? "Incident"?

At Incheon International Airport...

"I got sat on."

That's awesome. I feel jealous.

Oh my gosh!

No, that wasn't an incident. That was just an accident.

My hair got tangled around the button.

"I'm always here looking at you like this.

Hi."

Hi.

It's so hot.

Is it a tropical night already or what?

Get lost.

This is driving me nuts.

I shouldn't have followed him on the business trip. I even overslept.

Ms. Sung.

Director Gold,

hello.

It's bitter.

Is it humid today?

-Ju-hyeok, is it raining outside? -No, it's not raining.

And I'd like an iced cafe mocha.

Hang on.

-Where's Duk-mi? -She's not here yet.

She went on a business trip yesterday, so I think she's sleeping in.

She spent the night there?

What?

Hi, Seon-ju. Hi, Eun-gi.

An iced Americano, please.

What?

I heard you spent the night with your director on that business trip.

So?

-Did nothing happen? -What?

How could you think of spending the night with a man?

Hey, what kind of person do you think he is?

Director Gold isn't like that.

Even just now,

-a motorbike crashed into his car. -My goodness.

But he just told him to drive safely next time

and took him to the hospital.

Since when did you have so much respect for him?

So did nothing happen between you guys?

No.

What a pity.

Why isn't Ju-hyeok coming?

Ju-hyeok went to the hospital.

-What? -What?

I just told you that a motorbike crashed into Director Gold's car.

Didn't I mention that the guy on the motorbike was Ju-hyeok?

What?

Ryan.

Ryan Gold.

Why is his name Ryan?

It's called a Gestaltzerfall phenomenon.

-Gosh, you startled me. -That's what it is, right?

-A Gestaltzerfall phenomenon. -Hallelujah.

If you keep

repeating the same word like you just did,

that word suddenly sounds unfamiliar.

The name "Ryan" sounds really unfamiliar to you, doesn't it?

No, that's not it.

But why do you look so tired? Did you stay up all night?

We had to organize the artworks according to

the international standard classification system.

We received orders from that guy named Ryan

when we're really busy preparing for the exhibit.

We always said we should get it done one day.

Director Gold really did a great job of identifying our problem.

The process may be hard, but things will become easier from now on.

Nothing's easy.

We can't badmouth him anymore

because you're dating him.

And we can't even give work to the intern because she's Director Eom's daughter.

We're suffering more than when we were with Director Eom.

I see.

You don't need to walk on eggshells. You can badmouth him if you want,

and feel free to give work to the intern.

She needs to be here first. She needs to come to work.

Isn't she here yet?

-Hyo-jin. -Yes?

Don't you know what time it is? Why are you coming to work now?

Aren't you going to hold a welcoming dinner for me?

Hyo-jin, that's not what you should be talking about right now.

How about we use my mom's card to eat some meat?

Sure. I'd love that.

Then let's all have dinner tonight. I'll pay with my mom's card.

You all know that I'm Director Eom's daughter, right?

-Yes. -Yes.

My mom told me to keep it a secret.

But there are no secrets in this world.

Don't you agree, Ms. Sung?

Here's your iced Americano.

Thank you.

Ju-hyeok, you can go home.

I know the doctor said you're fine, but I'm sure it still hurts.

Don't make me look like a bad boss. Just go home and rest.

Ju-hyeok?

Ms. Lee.

-Yes? -Do you have a lot of money?

I think I have more than you.

Then I'll be your slave.

Really?

How much do you cost?

-About 750 thousand won. -About 750 thousand?

Are you serious? 750 thousand won?

I don't even buy a vacuum cleaner if it's that expensive.

Then how about 760 thousand?

Are you kidding me?

Director Gold said you don't need to pay for the repair cost,

and he even paid the hospital fee.

So why do you need that much money?

Only VIP members can read this post.

Please take a test to upgrade your level.

A test?

Please send my notebook to the following post office box number.

I'm too busy to go to the post office these days.

If it's urgent, you can come get it yourself.

IF IT'S URGENT, YOU CAN COME GET IT YOURSELF

Mr. Kim.

Director Gold.

-Are you busy? -That's a sudden question.

Today must've been really hectic for you.

You started the day with a car accident

and even had to go to the hospital.

Yes, I'm really busy today.

Just to let you know,

you can feel free to ask me for help if you need any.

For example, I can go to the bank for you,

run personal errands,

or go to the post office on your behalf.

Oh, okay. I actually need to go to the post office.

Really? I'll go.

It's Mr. Cha Si-an.

Cha Si-an?

Yes, he said he'll be here today.

-Right now? -It seems so.

When can you go to the post office?

I think I should finish what I was doing first.

I'll go next time.

Yes, Mr. Cha.

Ryan.

What brings you...

I was wondering if I should attend the meeting

since I'm the head curator.

Bye, then.

What brings you...

Would you like some coffee?

-Excuse me for a second. -Sure.

Sorry about that.

Please continue.

I wanted to know who else is participating in the exhibition.

Is it all right for me to ask?

The confirmed participants are you, the writer, Roh Seok,

the movie director, Moon Seok-chan, and the ballerina, Oh Yeong-hui.

We're also in contact with others including three foreign celebrities.

Am I being used as a publicity stunt?

-I hate being on the back burner. -That's not the case.

Can I be a little more ambitious, then?

The artwork alone might be a bit too bland.

How about a collaboration with a visual artist?

Do you have one in mind?

The one I've been working with so far.

From my solo album to this exhibition,

I want to tell a kind of story.

Does it sound weird?

No.

I'm excited since it sounds unique and refreshing.

We'll continue our meeting with the artist present, then.

Can you give me the artist's number?

I'll send it along with a profile.

Since I'm here, why don't I take a look around?

-Let's go, then. -All right.

Here.

-Si-an, I'm a fan. -You're so handsome.

Thank you.

"What I thought was a coincidence was fate

and what I believed as fate turned out to be just a coincidence."

This is great.

Who wrote this?

-I-- -My mom's influence

can easily be seen everywhere.

Oh, dear. It's a secret that my mom's the former director.

Are you Cha Si-an?

-I am. -Can I take a photo?

-No photos are allowed-- -Sure thing.

Let me take it for you.

I can't believe I can take a photo of you so close up without a telephoto lens.

Si-an...

Si-an.

Make sure to take a good photo.

Of course.

Did you hear Cha Si-an call Director Gold by his name?

Did you know they were that close?

-I'll see you soon then. -We're having dinner today.

If you have time...

Can I join you guys?

No.

You were cold-hearted at home but you're even more cold-hearted here.

Have fun today, then.

It's long overdue,

but our new director Ryan Gold

and Ms. Kim Hyo-jin,

welcome to Cheum!

-Welcome! -Thank you.

How did you become friends with Cha Si-an?

I heard him call you by your name.

Was it because of the dating rumors?

We're not friends per se...

So when did you two start dating?

-What? -I've been dying to ask that, too.

Who liked who first?

Team dinners are part of work too, so let's keep it professional--

Ms. Sung, you're ruining the mood.

Director Gold, tell us how you can date a coworker.

Would you like to tell them, or should I?

The first time we met was at a Chinese auction house, right?

So you met before he came to work here.

-Back then-- -She said she wanted me.

Sorry?

That's what she said.

Delicate lines and coherent facial features.

The perfect ratio is very impressive.

I want you.

-I said what? -Am I wrong?

Yes, you're right. That's what I said.

Ms. Sung, that's very bold of you.

The next time we met was at a hotel in Korea.

She wanted to come into my hotel room.

Director?

I refused,

but then we met again at the museum.

So that's why you fired her.

I guess he regretted it because he came by the cafe.

"I'm sorry. I miss you.

Please forgive me."

So you're saying

you'll never come back?

No, I won't.

He apologized with eyes brimming with tears.

But then

she wouldn't let me go home all night.

All night?

What are you saying?

That night, you wouldn't let me go home

and said you'd only hold my hand.

Is that true?

Yes,

that's how I am.

What about your scandal with Cha Si-an?

-Why didn't you immediately refute? -Well...

How can he admit to dating a subordinate

-as soon as he arrived? -Right.

We understand everything, though.

Thanks.

Darn.

Okay, cheers!

-You don't have to drink, you know. -I'm going to.

Are you watching out for his health?

It's not like that. He can't drink coffee, so...

I can hold my liquor, though.

My friends taught me a drinking game.

The one who takes the longest to receive a text back from a friend has to drink.

-That sounds like fun. -Shall we try?

Everyone, take out your phones.

All right.

I'm afraid my phone died, though.

Director Gold!

Didn't you just hear that your girlfriend's phone is low on battery?

Charge her phone as much as you love her.

Go!

While we wait, let's test how much you care for each other.

A test?

Answer questions simultaneously.

You'll drink if you say different answers.

Hyo-jin, like I said, team dinners are part of work, so--

-Jjajangmyeon or jjamppong? -One, two, three.

Jjajangmyeon.

Director Gold!

Right, I'm sorry.

There.

That's it.

He's pretty good at drinking.

-Where did you have your first kiss? -One, two, three.

-In his office. -In my car.

-In his office? -My office?

Who did you kiss in your car then?

We started kissing in his office

and we continued it in his car.

When was your latest kiss then?

-One, two, three. -Two, three.

-Yesterday. -A while ago.

What we did a while ago was just a peck.

Unbelievable.

Next.

Next.

Welcome, Hyo-jin.

-Bottoms up! -Bottoms up!

Director Gold.

Director Gold?

Yes, Ms. Sung.

I knew it.

People who were raised abroad get the most drunk from makgeolli.

Do not ever underestimate makgeolli again.

How about a third round at the karaoke?

No, I'm out. Director Gold!

Director Gold, you should go home.

We'll take Hyo-jin with us and leave.

Hey, let's go.

Let's go, Ms. Intern. This way.

Zero points on the Love Test!

It's suspicious.

It's really suspicious.

Director Gold.

It's that way. Can you walk?

Director Gold...

It's not that I don't like holding hands.

I don't like the moment when I have to let it go again.

That warm feeling disappears

and it feels like I'm the only one left in this world.

You don't know at that moment, but you realize it later.

That the incident was what made you become a fan.

So you mean it's the stage when you discover someone

and keep thinking about that person?

Right. Each person experiences

a different incident that makes them become a fan.

For me, it was a photo The Road to Si-an took.

It made me feel like we were really making eye contact,

and it made my heart flutter.

-Thank you very much. -Thank you.

I look forward to your show, Super Fangirl of the 21st Century.

-Me too. Good luck on your ratings. -Good luck.

-Good night. -I look forward to your show.

Good job today.

Mr. Kang, wasn't our program

called The Twisted Love of Fanatics?

They'll go crazy if this airs.

If this airs,

I'm as good as dead anyway.

Master.

Here. You didn't have to come all the way here.

How could I trust you with my credit card?

You should trust me, Master. I'm yours now.

Stop calling me that!

Why do you play the guitar?

Do you want to become a guitarist? Or is it just a hobby?

For now, it's a hobby.

And this is the interest for the loan.

Tickets to a performance? Are you performing?

I thought it was just a hobby.

You never know what can happen in life.

You may never know about life,

but you should know the power of money.

Since you'll have to pay me back that money.

Isn't that guitar beautiful?

But unlike its looks, it has a pretty thick tone,

so it's usually used for rock or heavy metal music.

-What about this? -This one has a short echo,

and that's one of the features of this guitar.

It's suitable for funky or psychedelic music tones.

You must really love guitars.

Your eyes are sparkling.

My eyes sparkled like yours when I did something I liked, too.

When you were fangirling with your friend?

Yes.

I didn't even notice time passing when I was fangirling

and I didn't feel tired when I spent the whole night out.

Your eyes are sparkling right now too, Master.

-What's this? -It's an acoustic guitar.

-What about this? -That, too.

-What's that? -That's not a guitar.

What's that, then?

You should at least be light if you're going to get drunk. You're seriously...

handsome.

Drink this right away if you have a bad hangover.

Director Gold.

Director Gold?

Did I lose my mind?

What on earth is this?

Director Gold?

Knock knock.

-What's the passcode? -Passcode?

The passcode is

a secret.

Then come here and press it yourself.

Are you getting angry at me right now?

Of course not. I'm asking you very politely.

Tell me the passcode, or come and press it yourself.

All right.

I'll tell you.

-If you sing a song for me. -A song?

Here?

Okay. I'll sing a song for you,

so tell me the passcode, okay?

-You promise? -I promise.

-You better not change your mind. -Okay.

A runway spreads out A highway opens for me

I walk along it

Click, click, snapshot

Click, click, snapshot

You've really lost your mind.

Sweet dreams.

The color of the pants he wore?

Y LIVE

White Ocean.

708 RECOMMENDED VIDEOS

What? 708 videos?

Here's the last question.

Si-an always covers the mole near his lips

because he doesn't like it.

Please draw on the photo to indicate

exactly where that mole is located.

Where is that mole? Where is it?

Why can't I find it anywhere?

Why can't I see it? All those photos I saw...

I looked at thousands of photos.

Where is it?

Hey, Ryan.

Where is it?

Ryan?

I guess it was a shadow.

I thought something was on your face.

People used to say that a lot back when I had a mole.

When you "had" a mole? You don't have it now?

-I got rid of it. -You got rid of it?

Why would you get rid of it?

Do you know how much your fans love that mole?

That's why I secretly got rid of it. I never really liked that mole.

But if you look close enough, you'll still be able to see it.

Where? Let me see.

Right here.

The mole on his face...

-Enjoy. -Thank you.

This person is unbelievable.

Why? What's wrong?

This person joined the fanpage yesterday.

But she applied for the test today and got everything right.

Really? Who is it?

Latte.

Isn't this a record?

Do you think someone leaked our test questions?

Come on. She's probably just a really huge fan like us.

-Oh, right. Ryan. -Yes?

Meet me today after work.

I found another one of Lee Sol's paintings.

I found another one of Lee Sol's paintings.

Mom.

Is Hyo-jin going to skip work today because she drank last night?

Imagine how happy you'd be working just for leisure.

I'll make sure to scold her properly today.

My gosh.

Please look to your left.

-What's going on? -You're so pretty. Have a good day.

You're so pretty today.

You look like a butterfly.

You're going to scold her?

Director Eom.

I didn't want to make it too obvious,

but my husband really wanted to see photos

of Hyo-jin going to work and photos of her working here.

The thing is, my husband

cares so much about Hyo-jin.

But that doesn't mean

you guys should feel pressured. Okay?

Okay, we won't feel pressured at all.

By the way, I think my husband needs to change the painting

that's on his office wall right now.

Do you have a specific painting in mind?

I think this year is a pretty bad year for him.

He's getting disgraced often.

So I think he should hang a painting

that can help him block the bad luck that comes to him.

Maybe a lion or...

I have a meeting with Mr. Cha today, so I'm going to go home now.

Ms. Sung, don't call me if it isn't anything urgent.

I'm here.

I really don't like lions.

Get me a painting of a tiger.

Ms. Sung, did you have a fight with Director Gold?

He seemed to be in a bad mood.

Did you nag him about drinking a lot yesterday?

Nag him? Fight?

That's nonsense.

You have three of Lee Sol's paintings.

Yes, only one of them aired on TV.

And I found this one recently.

I have three, and you also bought one on behalf of your client.

That means if we find five more, we'll have the entire collection.

Five more?

Are you saying there are nine paintings in total?

How do you know that?

There's no information about Lee Sol.

I heard it somewhere.

I think we might be able to collect

all of her paintings before the exhibition.

Do you still keep in contact with your client?

Yes.

We should ask the client if we can borrow the painting.

It'd be even better if I could buy it.

Go ahead and take a look.

Hey, Mom.

Isn't Director Gold eating?

He doesn't have an appetite.

Did you two break up?

Why would they when they just started to date?

-Thank you for coming. -Thank you.

Hold on a second.

Didn't she just finish an entire bowl?

She's buying some for Director Gold.

It's their honeymoon phase.

Director Gold.

Ryan.

I hope what I'm seeing isn't real.

You still only drink milk, right?

Curator Sung Duk-mi?

I'm sorry I only bought his.

No, it's all right.

Can you hold this for me?

I missed you, Ryan.

You have three seconds.

Why? You said you missed me, too.

Three, two...

Two seconds would've sufficed.

What's going on? You didn't even call.

I don't have a phone yet.

Let's talk more as we walk.

-Are we going somewhere? -My studio.

Your studio?

In Korea?

You're curious, right? Let's go. Where's your car?

Is it that way?

I missed you, Ryan.

Ms. Sung.

-What? -I'm sorry.

Sorry about that. I was lost in thought. What is it?

The manager of Director Gold's apartment building

just called.

-And? -The unit above has a water leak,

so he wants to check Director Gold's residence, too.

A water leak?

He probably has some artwork at home.

Have they tried contacting him?

I hear he's not picking up.

He's not picking up? Why?

Yes, I get it.

Thank you.

Pyeongchang-dong? Let's check that area first.

I thought we were going to your studio.

I'm looking for one today.

I'll use this a while longer.

Ms. Sung.

Shouldn't you go to his house to check instead?

But I'm not the owner.

You're the owner's girlfriend.

Girlfriend, my foot...

That's exactly who I am.

It's an urgent matter, so it'll be fine.

I'll tell the building manager

and leave Director Gold a text.

You know his door lock passcode, right?

What? Yes, of course.

I guess I should go, then.

-Call me if something comes up. -Sure.

They enjoy all the romance

while I'm left to do the dirty work.

The former occupant was also a famous artist.

Things worked out well, so he moved overseas.

The location must bring luck.

I need to get this. Please take a look around.

I like it.

What do you think?

Why do you need a studio? How long are you staying in Korea?

How long will you be staying?

Have I ever sent you mixed signals?

I don't remember doing so.

You never did, but you do make my heart flutter.

Da-in.

It's just that

I've had a lot in my mind these days.

About half of the reviews are compliments

while the other half are criticisms.

Am I an artist or a fraud?

Even I'm doubting myself.

-That's-- -I know it's nonsense.

"Compliments and criticisms. Never take both too seriously."

That's what you told me.

Nobody can do that so easily, though.

I need someone to establish a standard for me.

Someone who can honestly evaluate my work.

Someone who will give heartfelt advice for me and my work.

That's the kind of person I desperately need as an artist.

Someone like you.

I desperately want you as a woman as well.

I'll help you with your art but that's it.

That's mean.

Wait, I still have your phone.

A water leak?

I'll see you around.

Ryan!

What's going on?

Thankfully, nothing's wrong.

Thank you.

Things were too hectic to take a proper look last time,

but his house is like an art gallery, too.

It's pretty.

This is nice.

Director Gold.

What are you doing here?

I heard there was a leak upstairs,

-so I came to check-- -I think you're done checking.

I'm asking what you're doing in an empty home without its owner.

I was...

Your house was just so beautiful, so...

Does that give you permission to look around as you like?

Do you actually think we're really dating or something?

Are you pretending you came over to your boyfriend's house or what?

-It's not that, I just-- -Please leave,

Ms. Sung.

I'm sorry.

Wait. Aren't you Ms. Sung?

Si-an, I mean, Mr. Cha Si-an.

So we're meeting in the elevator this time.

But is something wrong?

Did you have a fight with Ryan?

No, it's not that.

Did he do something wrong?

Did he lie?

Are you familiar with Lee Sol's work?

No,

I was buying the artwork for a client.

He's probably regretting it, too.

Cheer up, okay?

Director Gold, I couldn't come empty-handed, so I brought a gift.

I hope you like the scent.

-It's not that, I just-- -Please leave,

Ms. Sung.

I'm sorry.

Drink this right away if you have a bad hangover.

Sweet dreams.

If you ever want to hold someone's hand,

or if you don't want to let go,

I'll let you borrow my hand.

How could Si-an be so understanding and kind?

Right, Duk-mi?

He yelled at you?

He should've thanked you.

And? What else did Si-an say?

Is that something to get angry about?

You should've just said you lied in order not to make trouble.

Doesn't Si-an seem like such a sympathetic guy?

Hey. Where's your sense of sympathy right now?

You little punk.

Just get everything out of you.

You can swear about that Lion jerk all you want.

Do you know what I hate the most?

In that situation...

When Lion was yelling at me like crazy,

I was worried he might be disappointed in me

and that he'd hate me.

That's what scared me more.

I'm such a loser.

Sung Duk-mi,

just stick to fangirling.

Don't ever fall for a guy in the real world.

Hey, he's really Ju-hyeok?

Didn't she tell you not to fall for guys in the real world?

Life doesn't always go the way you want.

Director Gold.

What brings you here this late?

By any chance, have you seen Ms. Sung?

She had some work outside the office this afternoon,

and I think she went straight home.

Okay.

S came out of R's house.

She went to UG Club in Hongdae right away with another guy

to enjoy a date watching a performance.

Wasn't that amazing?

Excuse me.

Is the performance over?

-Yes, it's over. -Yes.

Does that give you permission to look around as you like?

Do you actually think we're really dating or something?

Are you pretending you came over to your boyfriend's house or what?

Please leave, Ms. Sung.

Ms. Sung!

Director Gold.

I was out of line.

I shouldn't have gotten angry at you.

I was just really taken aback.

I'm sorry.

Are you

angry at me?

Yes.

But...

I'm also sorry

for entering your house without permission.

-Do you love Duk-mi? -Yes.

So don't come out.

I heard you're dating Ms. Sung. Is it true?

I don't think I need to answer that.

Hey. You should get ready for a wedding.

This is why it's bad to date someone at work.

There's something you'd be happy to hear.

What is it?

Actually, I...

If I didn't run into him that day, I wouldn't be feeling so guilty.

But why can't I see yours?

No!
