[Noom Nim]

This is me. I'm Noom Nim.

It has been said that the youngest child in the family will be well-cherished.

She will be lively, free-spirited, and she likes to live outside the box.

But that's not for my family! [Always fight with each other]

My family consists of three members, including mom and my unreliable older brother.

He has never been helpful.

[End up getting a punishment]

Whenever I want something, I must always fight on my own to get it.

[Having a part-time job at a convenience store]

But I've never felt slighted because of that.

I just feel tired... too exhausted.

Excuse me, where can I find the bread?

Over there, sir.

Thank you.

That's super adorable!

Excuse me, I would like to take this one.

- I'm sorry. - Thank you.

Because I only spend time earning a living while also studying,

I don't have any more time to find myself happiness,

either from playing around or falling in love.

After I graduate, I will truly own my life.

I will have a proper full-time job and start a fresh life in the new world

that will lead me to love.

Hey, I bring you here to celebrate getting a full-time job.

Can't you just make yourself enjoy it?

You get the job right away after your first job interview ever.

Tell me what's so good about you.

I guess they see my talent.

Which company again?

- ViperX. - I see.

That's a Japanese advertising company, isn't it? I'm not interested then.

Why?

I'm more into Western guys.

Great. Your target is different from ours.

Hey, I've been here several times.

I'm telling you now that Japanese guys here are so hot,

so we must look stunning tonight.

I won't disagree on that.

You can't just look beautiful but so unfriendly like this, Nim.

Make yourself more approachable to guys.

What should I do then? I don't know how to.

So tonight, to get rid of your innocence, you must be freaking hot.

Start from taking off your hoodie.

Nope. I'll just put it on like this in case it's cold. I can just...

Can just what? No need to.

I know you're going all out. Why hide it? Take it off.

- Take if off now. - Come on.

- Obey us. - You slay.

Stunning!

See? You look great.

- But you still need to touch up. - True.

Because I still look more beautiful than you do.

What are you doing? Dance rehearsal?

Well, first of all, you must change that makeup pouch.

If you want to get one of those hot guys out there, change it now.

Let me have a look.

Hey, when you do your makeup, just go all out.

Put more makeup on. A lot more!

I'll go out and order. I guess Poppy must have taken that Master already.

Master? He should be mine!

Hey, hold on. Wait for me!

Wait for me first!

Cheers!

Hey, Nim.

You're showing off, aren't you? You drank it all up.

Showing off?

She ordered just a mocktail. It's non-alcoholic as usual.

Really?

How about the company you're working for? Why don't you tell us about it?

Is your boss hot?

My boss?

Today, you look so beautiful.

Pardon me?

Don't you know that I'm complimenting you?

If you can't even understand this, I'll kiss you now.

I don't understand it at all.

Your boss was really hitting on you like that?!

I'm jealous.

- I'll make a resume now. - Why?

To apply for a job there.

All I said is just a joke.

But if it really turns out that way, it will be great.

Nim, that's too much!

You see? Poppy is already fantasizing. Daydreaming.

He's shaking.

It's already gone too far in my head.

I haven't started my job yet.

I'll start next month.

Hold on.

That company is a Japanese advertising agency start-up,

so there must be tons of young guys who are real balls of fire, right?

Unlike my uncle-like boss, aged over 50, at the factory...

Just thinking of that, I'm so dispirited that I want to resign tomorrow.

Calm down. Why would you resign?

You're getting great welfare and a large salary bonus. Don't resign.

My dream of becoming a beautiful wife of a young Japanese businessman

and moving to Tokyo after that is now even more out of reach.

Shame on you, Pinn.

You bitch!

Well, Nim. Tonight you must get one guy, alright?

Don't be awkward in front of guys like you were last time.

So many guys here.

Absolutely.

If any guy approaches me tonight, I'll greet him with "Welcome!"

Open your arms for him.

Perfect.

We must practice our language skill now.

A gentleman ordered this glass of Sex on the Beach for you.

For you.

- Where? - For her?

- Which guy? - From which table?

That table.

That girl can't take her eyes off you.

Pinn!

She's got one already.

Look at her! How confident she is. I just want to slap her mouth.

Let's go, Nim. Let's talk to them at their table.

Wait.

I'm not involved. He ordered this for you only.

Come on.

I saw you keep staring at his friend.

Go with Pinn now. Hurry up!

It's obvious you like him.

Come on. You can finally get to say "Welcome!"

Hold on! I just talked the talk.

Go now. It's the best time. Stand up now!

- Hurry up! - I was just saying things randomly!

- He looks hot. Just go. - Hey, I'm wearing a skirt.

Just show it.

Go ahead.

Why aren't you helping me at all?

- We're helping you now. - Let go of me.

Come here.

Are you alright?

I'm sorry.

- I'll leave now. - Wait!

You ordered this glass for me, right?

Yes. Do you like it?

Are you a Japanese?

You can speak Japanese?

Yes. I'm working as a Japanese interpreter, and so is my friend.

I see.

I'm Hazobe Shinsei. Nice to meet you.

What about your friend?

Nim, didn't you hear what he asked?

Answer him, or else he'll think that you're being arrogant.

Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Noom Nim.

Wow! Both of you can really speak Japanese.

Amazing!

What does Noom Nim mean?

Well,

it means fluffy and soft.

That's why your name really suits you well.

I'm Akitsuki Koji.

Nice to meet you.

You come here often?

Not really.

Nim has just got a job offer, so we're here to celebrate.

Congratulations.

- Thank you. - So should we treat them?

Alright, Koji?

Master, one more set of drinks for this lady, please.

It's for us to get to know each other more.

Sure. We want to get to know you even more.

I'll go back to them.

Up to you.

Please kindly take care of Pinn.

Just the two of you here?

Yes. You're here with other friends too?

You said that you would sit with your friends, didn't you?

My friends are no longer available now.

Poor you.

I can stay with you here.

Is this your first time here?

Yes,

and I guess it's also my last.

Why?

You're not enjoying yourself?

I can help make you have a good time.

You can go back and sit with your friends. It's alright for me to sit here alone.

I'd better not.

Why are you laughing?

You... are the first woman avoiding me like this.

This is really interesting.

Well, I'm going to the restroom.

See you then.

He's interested in me?

Me?

It can't be. Impossible.

He was just saying. How could he become interested in me?

I'm sorry.

Cheers!

Pinn!

Pinn, I'm super excited.

Guess who I just ran into.

Do you remember my favorite Japanese idol? Miyakawa Azuki.

Miyakawa Azuki?

Where? Where is she?

Azuki?

Azuki? That's impossible.

She's a top idol.

She won't come to this kind of place.

He's right.

But I did see her for real.

You just mistook her for someone else.

No! It was her.

Come with me now. I'll show you.

Come.

Hurry up or else she might have already left! Stop drinking already!

This way.

Excuse me.

Around here.

I met Azuki around here.

Where?

She's not here.

It's just your imagination.

Nope.

Let it go.

Anyway, I'll go back to my Hazobe.

Alright?

- End of the story. - I did see her for real.

At first, he acted like he's interested in me.

So this is what a flirty guy does!

You're not taking your eyes off him.

Why?

- Look at him. He's good at his job. - Annoying!

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

The bar hasn't closed yet. Don't leave now.

Well then, head home safely.

See you.

Here, please.

I'll continue playing with men now.

- Did you mean playing snooker? - That's right.

Hey Aof, where are you?

- Oops, he's already waiting. - He's a playful one.

Are you leaving now?

Yes.

Why are you leaving so early?

Is it because of what you just saw?

What are you talking about?

Hmm?

Tell me what you saw,

and I'll let you leave.

Answer me.

I'm waiting for your answer.

You shouldn't have done that.

What did I do?

I don't know who you are,

but I think what you did to Azuki was not right.

You should also respect women!

Azuki is a disciplined and lovely girl.

She has a bright future ahead.

Her future shouldn't be ruined meeting a person like you here.

What are you laughing at?

Hey, are you Miyakawa's fangirl?

It doesn't matter whether I'm a fan or not.

What you did was not appropriate.

I don't want Azuki to get involved in scandals.

You should know that what you did was wrong.

And what is right then?

Kissing you...

right?

Noom Nim, you shouldn't have trembled because of a person like him.

Stop being so naïve already.

Don't follow me.

Don't follow me!

What's wrong with you?

Leave me alone.

If others or your fans see you here, what will happen?

I don't care if they see me here.

I won't go back. I'm bored. Stop following me!

Damn it! You're nuts!

I'm your manager.

Manager?

Having a manager like you, I choose not to have any!

Is that so?

Let's see then.

Between leaving me and letting me release that secret clip of you,

which one is easier?

Let's just talk nicely.

Move back!

Ms. Azuki!

Ms. Azuki!

I'm your big fan.

I do appreciate you a lot.

I want to help you.

Ms. Azuki...

Please help me. Please get me out of here.

That manager Ken...

I will never go back with him. Please help me.

Please help.

Can I have your Line account or any contact channel?

Why do you need it?

I recorded this. I think it can help you.

I'll send it to you.

Don't move!

She's there!

After her.

This way is better.

Thank you very much.

Thanks to both of you.

Without you two, I must have been in trouble.

You should thank her. It's alright for me.

Next time, please do not sneak out like this.

It's dangerous.

Staying with him makes my life hell on earth. You already saw that.

I understand.

But to others' eyes, you are still adorable Azuki for all the fans.

Your future in the entertainment industry is truly important to me.

I'll be careful.

Ms. Miyakawa,

please contact this person.

He's an experienced lawyer who's never failed any case.

Tell him that you got his contact from me. He will help you with everything.

If things are settled, we may have an opportunity to work together.

Please don't let anyone know that I was here.

If you need any help, please contact me through the Line account I gave you.

Thank you very much.

Let's go back to the bar.

So what's the relationship between Azuki and you?

- You guys... - Kissed?

You think I kissed her, right?

That's what you think you saw.

But what you see might not be what's really there.

Please pretend that you're kissing me.

So this is what a flirty guy does!

I see. She was trying to hide from her manager.

Exactly.

You think I'm the person who can just randomly kiss anyone?

I'm not.

My kiss is only reserved for the one who's important to me.

Here's umeshu.

Punishment for misunderstanding me.

How is it?

It's kinda sweet.

I like something sweet too.

Noom Nim?!

Why are you here alone with Mr. Akitsuki?

Pinn and I have agreed to go to a karaoke nearby.

Noom Nim, would you like to join us?

Please excuse me.

Yes, Mom.

What are you doing? Why did you pick up my call so slowly?

It was so loud inside. I didn't hear it.

When are you coming back? It's almost midnight now.

I'm going back soon.

Alright. I'm waiting for you.

Yes.

Are you leaving now?

Yes. My mom already called.

What a regret. You can't come.

How will you go back?

Well, I'll take a taxi.

Please excuse me.

I'm leaving.

I'll drive you home.

After we arrive at the intersection, which direction should I head to next?

Please continue straight. Head straight.

Who are you living with?

I'm living with my mom and my older brother. Three of us.

I can only send you in front of your house, right?

That button is broken.

Call me.

[I had a great time today.]

[Thank you so much.]

[Nice to know you.]

[I hope to see you again.]

Gosh! Where did I leave it?

[I hope to see you again.]

[One month later]

Our company uses a chat program called Chat-Work to discuss the work.

You should start by registering an email first. Then, create an account in Chat-Work.

Our admin will invite you to join the group chat.

After joining the group,

please start adding seniors and send them greeting messages.

Introduce yourself to everyone.

Alright.

Here's your staff ID card for clocking in and out.

Also use it to unlock the office's door.

- Thank you. - Don't lose it.

Do you have any question?

No, I don't.

Alright, I'll show you your office desk.

Hey, Ja Oh. She's new here?

- Hi there. - Hello.

Hello.

I want to get to know her, so I'm here to see her face.

She's lovely, but not as lovely as I am.

Right. Lovely.

But if your work can also be as good as how you look,

I guess our KPI will be leveled up this year.

That's too harsh.

Here's your desk. Please keep it clean.

If you have any question, please approach me at any time,

or you can ask Ploy, who's sitting opposite to you.

Hello.

Hello, Ploy.

Please kindly take care of me.

Yes.

There's one last thing.

You must see our boss soon to introduce yourself and sign the contract.

But he's not in in the morning. You must wait for a while.

Oops, boss?

There's nothing to be scared of. You'll know when you see him.

But I'll let you know in advance that our boss is very good-looking.

Don't fall for him.

Alright

Make yourself comfortable.

Thank you.

Aren't you guys going to work?

I'm Krung Kring.

Krung Kring, get back to your work.

Yes.

I'm sitting over there.

Ms. Nim, have you finished translating the document I assigned?

It's done. I've already sent it through Chat-Work.

That was very fast. Good job.

I'll check it.

What about the document that I asked you to translate?

I'm working on it.

Please hurry up. This task is already overdue.

The later you finish it, the more I will get blamed by the team.

I'm sorry.

Ploy, please let me know if you need any help.

I've finished mine.

You work very fast, Nim.

But here, we do not focus only on speed.

The quality of work is also important.

If you finish translating early,

but there're mistakes, I don't think it works.

Anyway, please recheck your work.

There's no mistake with your work, Nim.

Make yourself comfortable.

Excuse me, I need a translator in the meeting room now.

Anyone available?

Nim, please go.

You're not working on any task now, right? Please help him.

Me?

Yes. Please help.

You might meet our boss in there too, so you can get to know him.

Sure.

Ms. Noom Nim, I would like to remind you.

I understand that you're still new to this job,

but the boss that you're going to meet is very detailed.

He doesn't like any mistake.

Concentrate and then translate. Understand?

I understand. Thank you very much.

The new interpreter is Noom Nim.

Today's her first day.

Ask her to come to my office.

Do you know who is Nayan?

Finally, she's getting fired. I knew she wouldn't last.

This Monday, you should clear your desk.
