I need romance.

I need romance.

EPISODE 7

It's been two months since I came back
to Shingshing.

There's no time for her

to be like this.

Tell the manufacturer that if they miss
the deadline, we're done for!

How are they not able to get the fabric?

What about breakfast?

That's why I told you to check
on the fabric first.

Shingshing is too busy.

I forgot my stockings.

On days she's actually home,

she's almost like a zombie.

-Shingshing?
-Yes?

I'm tired. I have no appetite.

Once a week,

she gets a nosebleed.

She has all her overdue bills piled up.

These are limited editions
which come in bulk,

but we won't be able to show you
more than three of them.

The product we are showing you today
is part of the fourth series...

She always sleeps with a closed fist.

As if she's preparing
for another fight the next day.

She looks like she's at war.

She often gets bruises,

but she doesn't know where she got them.

Wake up! Oh no! You're late!

It's time to wake up.

She gets only about four hours of sleep

and has a difficult time waking up

even after five alarms go off.

Let's eat breakfast, Shingshing.

I have no time.

It's porridge.
All you have to do is swallow.

Today is really important.

Wake up as you eat.

You should at least eat this
before you go.

I can't believe the things
I'm doing in Korea.

Listen as you're half asleep.

My hands hurt from too much housework.

I'm sorry.

So Honey

has no time to notice

if the flower has blossomed
or if it has withered.

And now you're crying

because of the man you love.

You really are a fool,

Honey.

Just like how you don't notice
when you've got a bruise...

Now

you're crying without knowing that this is

because of love.

I'm hungry.

Is there anything to eat?

Wow, look how pretty this is.

Is she the same person that cried
a minute ago?

How can we eat this? It's too pretty.

Yum. It's good.

Whenever she acts like this,

it scares me.

When I get to work on Monday,

my nickname will change to
"200,000 won a minute."

What are you talking about?

It means I sold products
worth 200,000 won a minute.

A mere 200,000 won.

That's cruel.

That's what they'll call you?

An office is a cruel place,

but who started all this?

Hey, 300,000 won a minute!

Isn't it embarrassing to see
your colleagues?

How can you make only 300,000 per minute?

Can I get an iced chocolate,
but super sweet?

Hi, 500,000 won a minute.

An Americano with an extra shot.

Five hundred thousand.

Oops.

Oh, it's 400,000 won a minute.
Where did you go?

A meeting.

Aren't you getting off? It's full.

-The last person...
-You get off, 400,000 won a minute.

Come on. Off you go.

But I never got that nickname before.

This is the worst record
in our team's history.

That guy.

Mr. Kang.

What is he like?

I learned my job from him
when I first started.

I'm sorry.

Don't you see other's examples?
How can you choose this?

A college student's report
would be better than this.

What's the point of working overnight
if the results are bad?

Why are you hanging out
with manufacturers?

Are you going to be friends with them?

If I gave you one thing,
you should bring back two.

If you can't manage the manufacturers,
how can you be a merchandiser?

You're sick?

Who said you can be sick?

If your show's today,
you should have stayed healthy.

Can you call yourself a professional?

How dare you cry here?

Am I your boyfriend?

Am I your brother?

He used to be a real poisonous snake.

What do you think I had to do
to endure working under him?

I had to become a crustacean.

He ruined you.

But he is

a little weird.

He's a one-of-a-kind.

I've never met someone like him.

He's cold and cruel

but sometimes he's the most comfortable
to be around.

And I respect him.

Do you have anyone like that?
One you are totally obedient to?

Other people say they love freedom

but I like obedience.

He makes me become like that.

Tell me a bad trait.

If you worked with him for so long,
there must be something.

There's one thing I don't understand.

That he dated Se-ryeong O.

The Se-ryeong I know?

They dated.

Congratulations on selling out
on your first show.

You know me, I'm a perfectionist.

It's thanks to you.

I never thought
about getting into home shopping.

How do you like it?

It's fun, but who knows when
I'll get sick of it.

Se-ryeong!
You're wearing the same necklace today.

Nice.

It's her lucky necklace.

She always wears it on her first day
of something important.

It looks good on you.

Someone I used to love gave it to me.

Someone who I love more now
after breaking up.

Good job everyone.

See you on Monday.

By the way, how is that possible?

To love someone more after the breakup?

That's why I was confused.
It never happened before.

Let's toast.

Come in.

Do you want to go to the bar?

Let's get a drink and see Eve.

How long will you avoid me?

Can't you see that I'm trying?

It's not easy for me to do this
with my pride...

That's why you should stop.

Love more after breaking up?

Don't try to sugarcoat it.

You're just trying to catch a fish
that got away.

Did you even realize
how precious it was when you had it?

You were too busy looking around
to find something better.

Do you know what I think
when I look at you?

In order to keep being loved
by this woman,

I should never take her hand.

That's the only way you'll try to get me.

That means

you still love me.

That's a relief.

Just...

Let's just stay like this.

I don't think I can do this.

You should live as you do

and let me live the way I do.

Live as you're intended to. Glamorously.

Don't fool yourself.

Get a grip, Se-ryeong O.

There will be a way to fix this.

I'm disappointed in you.

This. Why did you give it to me?

I don't think I can do this.

You used me!

What do you mean?

You gave it to me so that
our team would fail.

Why didn't you just ask me
what I thought about the jacket?

You knew our team was searching
for a new product.

Especially since we lost the designer
to your team.

But instead of helping us,

you didn't even think of us
as your teammates...

And you? Did you think
of us as part of your team?

Even now, you're the one splitting us.

You're the one who split us
in the first place.

Did you really give this to her
to ruin us?

Yes.

You guys were easy.

You were so easy to trick.

Why are you lying?

There's no need to lie.

It's not what you think.

I can guarantee it.

Why didn't you say
it's a misunderstanding?

That's why people always talk
behind your back.

But there are people who know. Like you.

Joo-yeon would know too. Would she not?

I don't know what to do with you.

You'll come to the bar with me, right?

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think

Joo-yeon's first show would flop
that badly.

The show was around the corner
and I didn't want to cause a scene.

I feel like it's all my fault.

The show's already over.

It's not your fault.

Do you want to go see Ms. Shin?

I suddenly miss her.

I texted her too,
and this is what she said.

Have a good party. I want to be alone.

She's never likable.

Then

do you want to go for drinks?

No thanks.

Just one drink.

Do I make you feel uncomfortable?

Okay, that's fine. I'll see you Monday.

Why does he give up so easily?

He should've asked me one more time.

It's not giving up,
it's being considerate.

She has a boyfriend.

Of course it'd be difficult for her.

I can't believe I lost to Se-ryeong O.

She sold everything!
All colors, all sizes!

I'm so jealous.

Can we go in now?

And on top of that,
her show went live right after me.

People will compare us.

But no problem, I won't cry
and I won't die. Why?

Because I'm a strong person!

Yup.

You have happiness because
there's sadness.

What goes up must come down.

There's success because there's failure.

That's life. Aren't I super positive?

Sure.

If you were any more positive,
we might freeze to death.

So cold.

I can't lose to you, too.

You troublemaker.

At a time like this,
you have to be rational.

No one will help me
if I'm drowning in emotions.

It's my life.

Other than me, everyone is a stranger.

If you act like everything's okay,

does it make it okay for you?

Of course.

What controls humans

is the brain.

What you think changes your life.
Don't you know?

I hope you don't think you're smart.

Hey, I am

in the top one percent of Korea.

I don't think so. You're foolish.

You always miss on the most crucial.

What did I miss?

Your true feelings.

You like Tae-yoon Kang.

That's why you were hurt.

That's why you cried,
because you were hurt.

My true feelings?

True feelings?

You try to think too objectively
and that's why you miss it.

Since you try to get over it fast...

you push it aside
without realizing your true feelings.

You cried not knowing why,

then you wipe those tears,
still not realizing and get over it.

You eat and run for no reason.

Living like that, you might think
your life is going well.

But, if you continue to live like that,
you'll never know.

Why you're hurt, why you're sad,

what you like,

and who you love.

You'll continue to live
without knowing your true self.

Then what should I do?

You want me to drown in my tears
and bask in my emotions?

It's okay to do that.

Once you're down, you'll see the ground.

That's where you'll see reality.

You talk as if you've experienced it.

-I did.
-When?

I think it was
when I was in middle school.

I thought I was going crazy
during my teenage years.

My parents were always busy
so I was home alone.

I cried so much and skipped
a lot of classes,

I hung out with the bad kids
and made a lot of trouble.

After living like that for a year,

I could see only one thing.

What?

You.

One day I woke up...

and realized I've hit rock bottom.

That's when I made up my mind.

That I should come back to you.

Because we made that promise.

Once I get to you,

I'll be able to find
what I was looking for.

What is it?

Someone who cares for me.
Someone who'll stay with me.

Someone who'll look into my heart.

That's why I came back.

Sure. There are some good things
about having you around.

You make breakfast

and we can talk like today.
You even run with me.

Aren't you comfortable living here
with me too?

No. I'm not comfortable at all.

Also, I don't like you getting
too comfortable.

I want you to be uncomfortable with me.

I'm a man.

I never said you were a girl.

Don't forget the fact that I like you.

From who did you learn to be
so straightforward?

I learned it from a girl
who used to act smart.

There are a lot of good things about it.
No wasting time.

Yes, just like this. Be a little shy.

Maybe a little bit more alert.

And more cautious

and also nervous.

It's nice to hear you breathe like this.

You little...

Also, I can't treat a woman
like my elder if I kissed them.

Stop trying to emphasize
that you're older than me.

It's no use.
Even if you say it a hundred times,

I will only look at you as a woman.

Goodness. It makes me uncomfortable.

It's having butterflies.

It's cold. My sweat dried off
so I'm cold now.

-Let's go together.
-What are you doing?

Follow me.

Don't you remember this?

What does it remind you of?

Piano sounds.

What about it?

I mean how does it feel?

It's nice.

That's not what I mean.

Like little chicks in a line.
You don't remember?

Fine. What about...

What about this?

I haven't played the piano in a long time.

Is it Chopin?

Doesn't it feel like the wind is blowing?
Happy feelings?

Then the next one. You'll know this.

Sounds familiar, right?

This one is pain.

What hurts?

Then I guess you won't know
this one either.

Right?

It's sad.

That's right, this one is sadness.

You're right, it's sad.

Yes.

This is sadness.

And love is...

This is love.

What you said about love is...

Do you remember?

This is love.

Love is...

Yes.

Perhaps it's better
that you don't know what love is.

Stay ignorant.

You won't let go?
That might be too dangerous for you.

Look at her eyes.
She looks like you, Tae-yoon.

No, she looks like you to me.

Remember?

People said our eyes look similar.

The ends go down for both of us.

Go wash your hands.
Your allergy will bother you.

It's okay. Let's play with her some more

and take pills together.

Shall we?

Why not?

Look at her toenails!

But I...

I don't have any medicine.

I don't have any allergy pills.

I don't have any at home, either.

No, you'll have some.

I know where they are.

Then shall we go look for them together?

You still have fishes!

I have them, too.

I thought of you every day.

I missed you every day.

And I...

Shingshing woke up.

She'll likely scream.
Then hit me with a pillow.

Wait!

Don't freak out and stay still.

What happened was...

You actually fell asleep there

but the trip to your room was too far
and you're heavy.

So I put you down on my bed.

You held on to my finger...

It's weird.

What?

I didn't wake up once
and slept through the night.

I don't even sleep in on Sunday.

I slept

so comfortably.

Me too, me too.

No way you're a man to me.

You're like a little brother,
the sweet potato.

Come downstairs, let's eat.

Sweet potato?

It's not what I wanted

but I'll consider it as progress.

Don't.

You said you're comfortable.
I don't feel like a man to you.

I'll just be your sweet potato.

Don't. I said stop it.

Let's sleep together, starting tomorrow.
I felt comfortable too.

Let go.

My allergy is acting up.

My face is itchy,
so let's take the pills...

You took them by yourself?

-Yes.
-Give me some.

No. None for you.

You're the prettiest
when you have allergies.

So you should live like that
for the rest of your life.

What are you doing? Hey, move it!

Goodness. Hey!

Hey!

Some fairy tales end here.

As if only happy days are left

for the two couples.

That would be the ending.

We normally call that a happy ending

but a moment like that in real life

is only a split second
of a never ending story.

We have to live the rest of that story

in the name of life.

Not as the protagonist
of a fairy tale but in reality.

Not knowing which moments

await us.

I feel like I was fooled
in some mental game.

The timing was really on par.

I have no evidence
but have strong inclination.

But even then, Director Kang

sided with Se-ryeong O.

Of course he would.

We were upset, too.

He cares more
for those outside the company.

This is the first time
I've had this much stock left.

I'm so embarrassed.

Min-jung didn't call?

What did you just say?

A baby?

Yes.

I heard that I have signs

of early menopause at another hospital.

I wanted to just double check
and get prescriptions.

These are rare cases,
but some women get pregnant

after they've been diagnosed
with the first signs of menopause.

It's almost a miracle.

Even test-tube babies are hard to come by.

Congratulations.

Well...

Hello.

This might be the first and last baby
for you.

With your menopause,
your egg is not very healthy.

There's a high chance of a miscarriage.

You should talk with the baby's father...

I can't believe this, a baby?

Hey!

I'm sorry, sorry!

Sorry. I told you not to run.

This might be the first and last baby
for you.

Maybe she's not home.

Who's this?

Two hundred thousand won a minute?

Did you go shopping?
You're sure living the life.

I'm doing well now that
I don't have to see your face.

Good, we're on the same page.

-Why are you here?
-What do you think?

What?

What? Gosh!

Oh, maybe she's back.

-What's going on?
-Shh!

Be quiet.

Hello, I'm from next door.

You have a package.
You're Min-jung Lee, right?

He says you've got mail. Ouch!

Hello? This is not the first time.

I'm not some weirdo.

Min-jung Lee?

Yes? That's me.

I think these are books.

Thank you so much.

But...

I heard that you've been calling me
a lonely senior.

I'm sorry? No, I mean...

Do I look like a lonely senior to you?

No, not at all.

I hope you straighten it out
with our neighbors.

That the person who lives here
is an attractive single woman.

Got it?

Yes.

I did as you told me to,
so you have to work starting tomorrow.

But that man looks fine to me.

He looked gentle.

This is the book he wrote.

Oh?

PHILOSOPHY OF EVERY DAY LIFE
BY MIN-SEOK AHN

He's three years younger than you
and from a prestigious school!

-He's a good catch, right?
-Yes.

What about him being the father

of my baby?

What are you talking about?

I'm pregnant.

You said you have menopause, so how...

They say it'll be my last.

-The doctor said...
-Hold on.

Well...

I...

I don't want to listen

to personal stories.

I understand you might be upset.

But it's not my place to know.

And I can't help with anything either.

It's your personal business.

You should decide.

Good luck.

I'll get going.

You can start work tomorrow.
I filed for vacation until today.

This is a present for you.

So, take it.

I'm heading out.

I really hate that kind of feeling.

I would feel so uncomfortable
if I knew about it.

We'll be working together
and it'll constantly be on my mind.

Also it's an office job.

She's not even married,
so people will talk.

And it'll be hard getting time off
for maternity leave.

What?

You are really despicable.

I'm just telling you the reality.

Also, what should I say?

Have the baby?

Or get an abortion?

I can't be held accountable.
It's her life.

She never asked you
to take responsibility!

If not, then all the more reasons
not to talk about it.

She's asking you to listen.

She just wanted you to be there.

Even if I stay, would that help us
reach a conclusion?

The both of us will only feel depressed.

All you had to do was
be with her and listen to her,

and just say one thing.

"No matter which decision you make,
I will cheer you on."

Wow. That's so cowardly.

What help does cheering do?

Wow.

Hey.

Where are you...

I'm not done talking!

If you keep telling me
I'm the bad one, I feel bad.

It's because you never worked
at an office before, it's war!

I don't care for your excuses.

This is why people call you a crustacean.

Hey.

What?

What did you say?

A crustacean?

Did you even listen to me?
You have to be realistic.

This is the real adult world.
It's not an easy place.

She'll soon show,
what will she say to everyone?

Kids need care.

You have to feed them,
clothe them and more. I've done it.

Hey.

You must be upset
because I said you're the bad one.

Are you upset?

That's it.

She must have felt worse.

Is this good enough?

You should write, "I'm sorry
about earlier" in the beginning.

I don't really feel that way.

"I'm sorry about earlier."

No, I can't send it.

I might regret it later.

Then I'll send it for you.

What? Hey, what have you... Hey!

You take responsibility then!

-Oh no...
-You're so cute.

What are you doing? Get away!

Hey!

I'm sorry about earlier.

No matter what decision you make,

I'll cheer you on.

What the heck?
She's giving me goose bumps.

You scare me even more.

You want a refund?

Could you tell me the reason
for the refund?

-I'm sorry, but the person...
-Yes, Ma'am.

I'm the person in charge.

What was it that...

It came out in a bigger fit.
That's the design.

It's not a defect, it's an unbalanced cut.

That's not a defect, Ma'am.

That's how it was designed.

We finally got to see Joo-yeon Shin fail
for once.

Hey, how much stock
does she have left over?

There's too much. Right?

You're done, right? Can I sit there?

Does she really have to go sit there?
Who knows what they'll say to her?

You three seem to be
in a good mood lately.

I never knew you guys were
such good friends.

What will you do
with all the leftover stock?

I can feel your pain.

Do a late night show.

You've never done an outlet show,
have you?

Do you want me to squeeze you in my show?

I can give you ten minutes to sell.

Every single one counts.

We have nothing to say to that.

Thanks for your concern

but we'll manage our leftover stock
on our own.

We won't be using some sleazy tactics
like you guys.

We'll do something unique
and aggressive, it'll surprise all.

Since it came to this,

our team will become a legend
in handling leftover stocks.

-What do we do?
-With what?

Did she mention anything?

Joo-yeon.

We normally don't go against your word,

but do we really have to come out here
like this?

What are we doing?

I'm too overqualified to do this.

You're way too creative.
I hope they don't see us here.

It hurts my pride

to slip in to their show
to sell our products.

Sure. You're the best.

So what will we do now?

What do you think? We have to sell them.

Hello, there is a spring sale...

-Look there! It's a good bargain!
-Wow, let's go there!

Oh, no. It's too embarrassing.

-Too embarrassing.
-Look, it's Style'O team.

That's Se-ryeong O!

-She's so pretty.
-Is that Se-ryeong O?

What are you doing? You look like zombies.

Aren't you cold?

We're professionals.

Wow, how much is this one?

Do you have my size?

-Of course, this way.
-Okay.

Hey.

Hold on.

Hey, Ma'am.

One moment.

Come this way.

Yes, do you want it in red?

Yes, Ma'am.

This way, yes.

So,

you've sold out?

Yes. I deserve a compliment.

You remember
how cold you were that day, right?

You should reflect on that.

Okay, all right. Have fun at the dinner.

FINDING MR. DESTINY

I kept my promise.

I said I would be responsible
for leftover stock and returns.

Half of it was Style'O's fault.

So of course you have to help.

Actually, it's not just half.

The jacket I put on my show

was also chosen by you.

I guess I'm a real big deal to you.

So you're saying I predicted that

if I gave a jacket to Hee-jae,

you would put it on the show?

Because it was a time
when we were dying for a new product.

Why are you being rude?

It's not like you were polite
to me either.

I was talking to Joo-yeon.

You were talking to me just now.

I was talking to myself.

Oh, and this time too.

Gosh.

How were you ever friends with her?

That's why it didn't last long.

You can see how rude she is.

It's not like you're any better.

These two.

After calling you last time,

they were talking behind your back.

-When did we...
-When did we...

Witch, ice queen

and crustacean. Right?

I've never heard such things
from my employees.

Of course not. You are so awesome.

And you have a heart
as wide as the Pacific Ocean, too.

There's no one like you.

You're the best!

That was too much.

Hey, that's Director Kang's car.

He must have come to pick us up.

-Tae-yoon!
-He came to pick me up.

I'll get going. Good job today.

What's going on? Are they back together?

Is that why he did that?

He was on her side when we had a quarrel.

Ouch.

-Ow.
-What?

What's wrong?

Where are you? I'm making curry.

The drug store? Why?

Are you sick? Where?

I don't know.
I think I got esophagitis again.

What? Why all of a sudden?

Oh.

It hurts right here.

Did you take medicine?
Should we go see a doctor?

No.

I've always had reflux esophagitis.

I thought I got over it,

but maybe it came back due to stress.

Does it hurt near your chest?

Yes. It hurts right here.

It feels congested and it stings.

It hurts so much.

When did you start to feel it?

I don't know.

As we were walking out from dinner...

Hey, did you know?

That Se-ryeong
and Tae-yoon are back together?

It happened after I saw that.

I thought he came to pick me up,

but he came for Se-ryeong.

He's such

a fool.

She'll get in the car right away,
why bother giving her a jacket?

Everyone was looking.
How come he's not embarrassed?

How can he be so foolish?

What's wrong with me?

It used to go away when I took the pills.

I should have one more.

What?

For a brief moment,

I hesitated.

I didn't want to tell you

that what's hurting you isn't your body

but your heart.

I didn't want to tell you

why it hurts.

But

the 13-year-old you told me.

Then what's love?

Love is

laughing, something bright,

something shiny.

And being honest.

So I had to tell you.

If I didn't tell you

you would continue to take
those useless pills

and continue to be lost.

Love is

not ignoring someone

who is totally lost.

I said I'm sick.

You're not sick

because of reflux esophagitis.

You're sick at heart.

And the reason why your heart hurts is...

That's because you like someone.

I do?

Who do I like?

No plans after work? Let's grab dinner.

And I need to talk to you about work.

-Let's go to the mail room.
-Why?

It's too cold to send you alone.

If you don't get in the car right now,

I'm going to take it that you like me.

She tried to have me
because she couldn't have me.

That's not love.

I confused that with love.

I told you not to think about it
but look into the heart.

How long will you live
without knowing how you feel?

Are you thinking again?

How can it not be difficult?

I love you.

I don't have to think about it.
