KKULBEE EDUCATION

I'M A LIBERAL ARTS DUMMY
WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND FRACTION

Liberal arts track, huh?

But your track's math classes are easy.
Why would you skip them?

I'M A NATURAL SCIENCES DUMMY
WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THEMES

Why'd you skip Korean language class?

Still don't know how to read?

Have the rumors spread already?

What about you?

Here.

If we do this, it looks like
we're both holding these up.

Let's take turns.

That crazy bitch.

And how do you know that crazy person?

She's my aunt's daughter.

But she's not my real aunt.

She's my foster mom.

I live in a foster home.

That's a relief.

Aren't you glad
that crazy girl isn't your real sister?

Son Hae-yeong,

you can't visit
your alma mater dressed like this.

You little brat.

Aren't you here as Nam Ja-yeon's guardian?

Could you call the police and tell them

a foster mom is neglecting her foster kid?

And that her rights should be revoked.

You should have your rights
as a human revoked!

Your mother's at the hospital
because of your sick younger sibling,

and you're here
slandering your angelic mother?

The kid isn't even my real sibling.

That doesn't matter.

She used to mess around
in every math class

and now she just skips them.

-What do we do about her?
-She messes around?

Doesn't she write?

All she does at home is write.

Exactly.

A girl from a poor family should study,
not scribble some nonsense.

Writers don't make money.

Who knows what she'll be writing
in ten years?

I'm thinking, bestsellers.

Oh, my goodness.

You're making me laugh.

Writing novels isn't for everyone.

I'm sure someone told
Park Wan-suh the same thing,

and she published her first book at 40.

Park Wan-suh?

Don't even compare Ja-yeon to her.

That's ridiculous.

My point is, nobody knows the future.

Ja-yeon could grow up
to be a famous writer

or end up as a serial killer.

Are you threatening me?

Just encourage her and be nice.

If she succeeds, you get to brag about it.

If she fails,
then it's her own life she ruined.

Encouragement
is only a burden to the receiver.

The giver doesn't lose anything.

Goodness, Son Hae-yeong.

EPISODE 4

So that crazy…

I mean, that college girl
was Manager Son Hae-yeong?

Yeah.

Life is strange, isn't it?

Who knew she'd turn out
to be an ordinary office worker?

"Ordinary"?

So do you still write?

Yeah, I do.

Could you send me your work?

Oh, was that rude?

The company's planning on publishing
a collection of children's stories,

and I thought I could give you a leg up.

The thing is…

Well,

what I've been writing

isn't really meant for children.

Oh, you're writing fairy tales for adults?

I think I saw an article about the genre.

It seems quite wide-ranging,

with themes like cruelty,
growth, and fables.

What do you write about?

Well, how should I put it?

My stories are about adults finding relief
away from the demands of life

and their candid conversations.

They bring warmth and softness

to both body and mind.

In short, my stories are very touching.

I'm even more curious now.

If it's fine with you,
please send some of…

NEW MESSAGE FROM FUCK

-Who is it?
-It's Fuck…

I mean, it's my boss.

You should check the message.

He wants me there right now.

Right now?

What a crazy bastard!

Ja-yeon,

you didn't become a serial killer,
did you?

No.

I have to go.

Oh, right.

Next time, let's make plans to meet
and not by accident.

It was great seeing you today, Ja-yeon.

I didn't know Ha-jun and Hae-yeong
worked at the same company!

She'd be at the hotel by now.

Why isn't she picking up?

Pick up.

Hey, be more gentle.

Stay still.

It hurts.

Your fingers…

Be gentle.

Okay, it's the last one.

It's really the last one.

I can't imagine
how heavy this must've been.

You were carrying
an entire steel mill in your hair.

Do you want to wash up first?

-Excuse me?
-Go ahead.

I take a while.

Oh, okay.

What's wrong?

You're acting like
you've never been to a hotel.

Is it actually your first time?

Well, it's just like a motel.

You've been to a motel, right?

I went with some of my army friends
during military service.

"Friends," plural?

Some of us had nowhere
to go on our days off.

So you've only been to motels to sleep?

And not for any other purpose?

What are you getting at?

I just feel
a sense of responsibility right now.

As someone who has found enlightenment,

I feel like

I should share my knowledge
with the novice.

Were you disappointed?

About what?

The kiss.

Groom, please kiss the bride.

I told you to cut that part.

-Just enjoy it.
-Guests, please clap as the couple kisses.

And the couple should keep kissing
until the claps die down.

Now, guests, give them a big hand!

Bride and groom, kiss!

A kiss, not a peck.

I guess the applause wasn't loud enough.

Louder please, everyone!

Groom,

please aim for the bride's lips!

-Kiss her!
-Kiss her!

-Kiss her!
-Kiss her!

-Kiss her!
-Kiss her!

-Kiss her!
-Kiss her!

Ma'am!

I have to go home.

My son is coming over.

-Just a moment, ma'am.
-Mom!

-Please.
-I have to see my son.

Mom!

Let's wrap it up here.

I'm sorry.

Disappointed?

Sports games are only fun
when the teams are evenly matched.

It's the same with physical intimacy.

That stuff is only fun

when both are evenly experienced.

It's my first time at a hotel,

not my first time at something else.

Why aren't you closing your eyes?

What's wrong? Never done it
with a girl with her eyes open?

Did someone teach you to kiss
once her eyes are shut?

Jeez, just go wash up.

We have a lot to do.

What now?

It's something that has to be done
on the wedding night.

Counting the congratulatory money.

You're good at counting, aren't you?

All right.

Good job.

You held back, Hae-yeong.

You were basically Buddha just now.

You overcame your desires.

"'Why not? Is there a reason
why I should restrain myself?'"

"Ha-jun asked
as his eyes scanned Yeon-seo."

"'All I see is a reason why I shouldn't.'"

"Ha-jun's lips…"

That's by Yeon Bo-ra,

a well-known writer
in the web novel industry.

She also wrote What's Wrong with Mr. Kim?,
which inspired the TV hit.

The sequel, Office Matchmaking,
has over a whopping one million views.

I read her recent interview,

and her determination
about the new novel was evident.

Apparently, it was her goal
to write so smutty a fiction

that she may have to
prepare for social ruin

and that her readers must keep it hidden
from their friends or purchase history.

It's unbelievable.

Can you believe someone
actually writes for that purpose?

No, it's impossible.

They'd have to stop
what they're doing first and…

What are you talking about?

Oh, you wouldn't know.

And the male lead's name is Ha-jun…

Ha-jun?

That's what bothered me even more.

I couldn't help but picture you.

You just made me read a novel
with explicit sex scenes

and now you're telling me
you pictured me as you read it?

No, don't say it like that.

That sounds so weird.

If you don't want to
deal with the law and the media,

you'd better come up
with a good explanation.

I swear I didn't have
a single thought about you

that could make you want to sue me.

That's not for the guilty party to decide.

Do you realize
how controversial office bullying

and power trips are these--

My mom!

My mom…

was reading it.

Your mom…

-Your mom?!
-Yeah.

So did the shock of finding out
your mother's taste in novels

hospitalize you?

That's not why.

My hate comments are why.

-Excuse me?
-As you know,

I grew up in an immoral
and heartless family.

But I managed
to become upright and virtuous,

like a lotus.

So I had a mental breakdown
while writing hate comments.

How are some people completely fine
leaving such comments?

What on earth did he write
to make himself pass out?

And this is a matter
between you and your mother.

Why be hateful to the writer?

Would you be able to say,

"Mother, please do not read
salacious novels

that explicitly
and vividly detail sexual acts!"

Could you do that?

Could you?

I will use

hate comments

to break the writer's pen.

JANG MIN-GUK: 100,000 WON
WOO JI-WON: 200,000 WON

Go ahead and get some rest.

I'll finish up.

I can't trust you with my money.

And you could trust me enough to marry me?

I didn't realize marriage is about trust.

I'll have to remember that for next time.

Wait, why can't you trust me?

I mean, only I can open
the safe at the convenience store.

You're a bit suspicious.

It's like you're hiding something.

What would I hide?

If anything personal comes up,
you stay silent or change the subject.

For example,

who is this person in Canada?

What's your grandmother like?

Aside from your name, face, and age,

I know nothing about you.

I'm not forcing you to say anything.

But trust can only form between two people

when both parties know enough
about each other.

When I was young…

When I was very young,

my grandmother's daughter
got married and moved to Canada.

Her beauty destined her for a tough life.

Your grandmother's daughter?

So your paternal aunt?

Your maternal aunt?

Is it your mom?

But why?

It was

my grandmother's last wish.

She said the family in Canada
doesn't know about my existence,

so if I visit her,

it could complicate things.

She raised me and asked me to live alone

for her sake.

They say elders love
all their offspring equally,

but my grandmother
only really cared about my mom.

To her,

I was just a distant grandchild.

What are you doing?

I just thought
you should be crying by now.

Why would I? I'm not a kid anymore.

You'll always be a kid

when talking about your mom.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure it wasn't easy.

All I meant to say

is that I won't steal anything.

SPICE UP OUR LOVE

"I'M WARNING YOU. I'LL GET VERY ANGRY
IF YOU TEAR THIS SHIRT AS WELL…"

YEO HA-JUN

Some bastard going by Luck You
is leaving hate comments

on every episode of Spice Up Our Love
and giving you bad ratings.

I know you're pretty cool
about these things,

but the rating will come up soon enough,
so please don't mind it.

You didn't have to text me
at this late hour for that.

I'm not affected at all,
so please get some rest.

Leaving someone on read is worse

than not reading someone's text at all.

That's right.

LUCK YOU'S COMMENTS

"To think that the Korean alphabet,

Says the one using it
to leave hate comments.

Time is precious,

and you're spending it
writing boring and ineffective comments

that don't even make you money.

CARD AND RECEIPT

Please board your flight.

Hey, I'm at the airport.

I deposited the money right away.

Seriously, Hui-seong.
Stop worrying, will you?

I'm not the type who'd lose money.

By the way,

Ji-uk's here too.

Why's he there?

Woo-jae's wife saw us off
to ride the bus to the airport.

Why does she meddle so much?

I guess I did this to myself.

Do you know where we're going?

-Try guessing.
-Where are we going?

I'll buy you something.
What would you like?

-I want a toy.
-A toy?

-You want a princess doll? You got it.
-I'll call you when I get there.

Okay, bye.

Which color do you want?

Pink?

We're all done.

Partner is free.

You can go now.

Do you want to go on a honeymoon
since you're here anyway?

I thought you'd spend your time off
with your mother.

I'm not that close to her.

And I don't really like her.

You're not close to her?

And you don't like her?

No.

Wasn't the fake wedding for her, though?
Because you love her?

Of course, I love her.

But the thing is,

just as you can like someone
but not love them,

you can love someone and not like them.

By any chance,

is it because you were hurt

that she didn't recognize you?

-That's because her illness--
-She's always been like that.

"Always"?

Her attention and energy
were always directed elsewhere,

so I was always the kid
she forgot about and neglected.

Someone she was fine doing that to.

Why?

Because I'm her real daughter.

Speaking of, I almost forgot.

Here's your pay.

You agreed to foster Baby.

Labor should always
be exchanged for money.

Take it.

Since you did me a favor
and came all the way here,

I'll take care of Baby, so don't worry.

No, thank you.

I'm paying you
just a bit more than minimum wage.

It's just enough
for a plane ticket to Canada.

Who says I'm going?

I married you
to stop being asked to visit.

Maybe you want it to stop
because you want to go.

Goodbye.

Have a nice trip.

Hey, husband.

Your grandmother may have prioritized
her daughter over you,

but you're my priority.

I'm telling you this solely for your sake.

Go where you want to go,

see who you want to see,

and live as you wish to live, husband.

Why do you…

keep calling me husband?

We're still

a family!

KIM JI-UK

What's this?

Congratulations on your wedding,
Ms. Son Hae-yeong.

A world where you wouldn't suffer losses
for being unmarried

or an actual marriage with your true love
would've been preferable.

But we all make decisions
to find happiness, don't we?

If this fake wedding leads
to you finding true happiness,

then that's all that matters.

I hope you find fortune
in all of your choices.

As your fake, temporary husband,

I'll wholeheartedly wish you luck forever.

That day

was the last time I saw Ji-uk.

3 MONTHS LATER

KKULBEE EDUCATION

"The grand prize goes to the creative
and innovative new business idea

which aims to propel our company…"

EXCELLENCE PRIZE
AHN WOO-JAE

Ahn Woo-jae!

Congratulations.

You're even more successful
after getting married.

Come on, there's no need for pleasantries.

Don't fake humility with us.

It's annoying.

You know how competitive
the contest was, right?

-It went down to the wire.
-Exactly.

Why are you blocking the way

of the grand prize winner?

Try to be more humble, won't you?

You're being annoying.

Well, I'm annoying but competent.

Grand prize!

-Jeez, Hae-yeong.
-Ms. Son and Mr. Ahn, rehearsals!

-Coming.
-All right.

You'll attend, won't you?

We're from the same cohort, after all.

How could we not when both the grand prize

and the excellence prize winners
are from our cohort?

See you later.

I won't go
because I'm green with jealousy.

-Come on.
-I'll see you later.

See you there.

How does it feel to get the
excellence prize with the idea you stole?

Are you head over heels?

Watch it when we're at work.

Look at you all scared.

You shouldn't have let
yesterday's Hae-yeong lower your guard

because today's Hae-yeong
is even more amazing.

AUDIO DRAMA PRODUCTION CONTRACT

NAM JA-YEON

With that,

the production of the Spice Up Our Love
audio drama officially begins!

I look forward to the script
for the drama, Ms. Cho Min-ji.

I'll be asking you for a lot of help.

Just as you and the fans
of the novel are hoping for,

I'll try my best
to stick to the source material.

But as you know,
audio drama is a different medium.

I understand.

It's inevitable that the storytelling
will differ based on the media type.

But entertainment is our utmost priority.

Don't let the source material box you in.

Just use it as a compass to guide you.

You're so cool
and understanding, Ms. Yeon.

I promise to knock the script
out of the park.

Sounds great!

It looks like
we're getting off to a great start.

Why don't we celebrate
with some Korean beef?

I'm sorry,
but I actually have plans already…

which I'll cancel.

No, don't do that.

It's clear you dressed up for a date.
You should go.

I have to go home
to meet a deadline anyway.

The beef will have to wait.

It's too bad, but all right.

-Shall we call it a day then?
-Sure.

-We'll be off then.
-Goodbye.

-Have a good day.
-Bye! Thank you.

-I almost forgot, Ms. Yeon.
-Yes?

A word, please.

I'll get going then.

Take care.

Bye.

-What is it?
-The attorney just contacted me

and the hater will receive
a letter of complaint today.

Please tell the attorney

that I won't settle
under any circumstances.

Of course.

It must've been so tough for you.

I'm okay.

REQUEST FOR DEPARTMENT TRANSFER

REJECTED

Shame on me for trusting Fuck-gyu.

KKULBEE EDUCATION

Hello, sir!

Chairman Bok, what brings…

I've had it with you!

Father!

You little…

Does the CEO have afternoon plans?

Yes, the in-house contest
awards ceremony is in 30 minutes.

He won't be going.

-Dad!
-Excuse me?

Dad!

Please, Dad!

How dare you!

Dad!

-Come here!
-Father!

Wait a minute!

Don't you dodge.

Wait, Dad!

BRIGHT FUTURE IDEA CONTEST
AWARDS CEREMONY

"The grand prize goes to the creative
and innovative new business idea…"

Attention, please.

The Bright Future Idea Contest
awards ceremony will begin shortly.

Your attendance
would be highly appreciated.

Once again,

the Bright Future…

The lighting here is amazing, girl.

I'll take a great photo of you
when Mr. Bok hands you your award.

If you want to be a spoiled rich kid,
bully your employees!

Even drinking, violence,
and gambling would be preferable.

That way, people won't know
which family you're from.

But instead, you left hate comments?

I told you to find a blue ocean strategy,
not a new way to endanger the company!

I guess I should've just had
an ordinary affair like you.

-You little!
-How dare you call it an affair?

What he did was screw around.

Jeong-a!

Calling what you did an affair
humanizes it.

Underneath it all,

there was love.

There was beauty.

I tied up all the loose ends,

and we haven't had a problem since.

We did have a problem,
but you got rid of it.

That's what a competent
business owner does.

Handle this problem quietly.

Either go to jail
or settle with the victim.

If I so much as see your initials
in the news

or tabloids before the case is closed,

you will stop being my son
or the CEO of Kkulbee Education.

Understood?

How stupid of you.

Damn it!

I'm sorry, Mother.

Make sure to leave no loose ends

just as Bok Gi-ho would.

When is this starting?

BRIGHT FUTURE IDEA CONTEST
AWARDS CEREMONY

We've been waiting so long.

-It's been forever.
-What time is it?

What's going on?

What's going on?

I thought it was going to start.

I'm sorry to bear the disappointing news
to all the employees and proud awardees

who took time
out of their busy schedules to attend.

Due to unforeseen circumstances,

Mr. Bok will not be able to
attend the ceremony.

We'll instead have an informal ceremony.

What the heck?

The CEO isn't coming?

Are you kidding me?

That piece of paper and glass

is meaningless
if the CEO doesn't hand them out.

If this were the case, all these
busy people wouldn't have gathered.

Is this what you call an omen?

The task force is starting off
on the wrong foot,

isn't it?

It's real, real, real, real

I'm really going to sue you

Hate comments have appeared

All of a sudden

It's real…

Oh, she hasn't left yet.

Ms. Cho…

Isn't that Mr. Yun?

Why are those two together?

She was dressed for a date.

Congratulations to Manager Ahn Woo-jae
for winning the excellence prize

of the in-house contest!

-Congratulations!
-Congratulations!

-Congratulations!
-Congrats!

You'd think he won the grand prize.

Eat up.

His award acceptance
deserved a grand prize.

It was quite the picture.

The wife handing the award
to her husband, the awardee.

Open wide.

-How is it?
-It's amazing.

-You should eat too.
-I will.

How moving.

Such a touching story in such a dreary--

Eat up. Don't stop.

Move your hands, not your mouth.
Eat up, you fool.

You're the star of the day.
You know that, right?

It's all right.

I don't need drama
to make my award meaningful.

Exactly.

It's not like you don't have a husband.

You've got a precious husband who…

Call your husband.

-What?
-To be frank,

80 percent of the credit for your award…

-Eat up.
-Well, you deserve it.

But the remaining 20 percent
is your husband's.

Your marriage qualified you.

That's what you call a supportive king.

Don't you want what they have right now?

Tell him to come.

The thing is…

He's in Canada right now.

He had to deal with a family matter.

Oh, my goodness.

Right, you told me.

-Your in-laws are in Canada, right?
-Yes.

That's a bummer.
I was hoping he'd be here to celebrate.

Be honest, Ms. Gong.

You just want to see
his good-looking face, don't you?

Me? Are you serious?

Do I look like someone
who peeps at her subordinate's husband?

Well, that sounds like me.

You'd better have a housewarming
when he returns or I'll be hurt.

Of course, we will.

Anyway, Manager Son…

No, that's not it.

Here's to the future task force leader,

Team Leader Son!

Congratulations on your grand prize!

-Congratulations!
-Congratulations!

Got you!

It's you again.

Right, someone else works here now.

I'm sorry.

It's been ages, you know?

The guy before me quit
because of you, didn't he?

3 MONTHS AGO

No, he didn't.

Partner, why didn't you pick up?

I just picked out your gift
because you didn't pick up.

You called?

-Who are you?
-I work here.

What about Kim Ji-uk?

He used to work nights.

I'm pretty sure he quit.

I'm his replacement.

He quit?

He didn't even tell me.

All right.

"Son Hae-yeong"?

Yes, that's me.

Did Ji-uk leave a message for me?

Well…

you have a package.

MEOW MEOW
CAT PRODUCT SHOP

The number you have dialed does not exist.

Please try again.

PARTNER

You're colder than I thought.

Whoever runs this convenience store

has a good eye for beauty.

Or maybe something's in the water.

Do you want cigarettes?

Yes, I want the 6 mg Sunhill,
the strongest one.

It's nice not having
an annoying part-timer.

Sunhill, 6 mg.

Sunhill…

-Two down to the left.
-Two down to the left.

To the left, not the right.

Oh, the left.

Found it.

Would you like the lung cancer version
or the stroke one?

SMOKING CAUSES STROKES!

KIM JI-UK

That damn Baby.

Jeez.

HONEY & SEA SALT CHIPS

I can't find the damn cat or the person.

The cat's still here?

Didn't you only agree to a week?

I'd have to find it to kick it out.

I've looked all over,
but it's nowhere to be seen.

It eats, poops, sheds, and breaks things
when nobody's around.

Baby?

A demon baby, more like.

Stop feeding it then.

It'll get hungry and show up or leave.

Is the convenience store part-timer
still not picking up?

What's wrong with him?

We had a good breakfast at the hotel

and split up at the airport
in good spirits.

Why did he just vanish?

And why isn't he picking up?

It only meows when I mention Ji-uk.

Does it understand me?

Be honest.

You slept with him, right?

No, I didn't.

That doesn't make sense.

Ghosting happens for one reason
after two people spend the night together.

One party doesn't want to commit.

Let's say we did sleep together.

Why is he the one ghosting me?

There are men
who have never slept with me,

but no man has only slept with me once.

Don't you know why some guys

never sleep with you at all?

Jeez, you're crazy.

Ja-yeon, you look…

Like a rich woman?

You should buy a sense of fashion.

Listen, Ja-yeon.
You're not wearing those luxury brands.

Those brands are just using you
as ad space.

-It's a bit much.
-Where are you headed anyway?

You know…

A walk.

By the way, Ms. Cha,

what's Mr. Yun up to right now?

Tae-hyeong?

-He's probably…
-He's busy texting a girl.

Why do you giggle so much
texting your boyfriend of ten years?

Just go see him and giggle elsewhere.

Don't sit on my couch and giggle.

Jeez.

See you.

YEONSEO POLICE STATION

We're here, sir.

Is my getup

failing to hide my innate class,
poise, and inner nobility?

You look exactly like a loser
who writes hate comments.

You've got the insecure,
unemployed bum look down.

Is this really necessary, Secretary Yeo?

Remember what Chairman Bok said?

If your identity leaks,
you won't be his son or Kkulbee's CEO.

Sir, take all of your self-esteem,
confidence, and pride

and set them aside for now.

Focus on this only.

Bok Gyu-hyun,
the CEO and the future chairman!

Secretary Yeo.

Tell them the unemployment got to you
and beg for mercy.

Look at the big picture, all right?

Got it.

Then let's practice your sincere apology.

Okay.

You know why you're here, right?

-I'm sorry.
-Writing hate comments online?

Don't you have better things to do?

-Again, I'm sorry.
-How dare you look me in the eyes!

You're not really sorry, are you?

Come and lock him up right now!

Please forgive me!

Call me when you're done.

That little…

Secretary Yeo.

Secretary Yeo!

Wait. Secretary Yeo!

Secretary Yeo!

Bok Gyu-hyun.

Writer Yeon Bo-ra of Cocoapage.

Spice Up Our Love.

You left 103 comments,
of which 51 are offensive and defamatory.

-Is this right?
-Yes.

Your username is Luck You?

Oh, from your last name Bok,
which means luck.

That's right.

Then why spread negativity and not luck?

We'll go over your comments now.

Read them out.

Me?

I don't want to dirty my mouth.

You wrote them, so read them.

"The female protagonist
abandoned her post during work hours."

"I can't believe she gets paid
to mess around with her lover at work."

"Instead of conscience, greed.
Instead of diligence, only sexual…"

"…only sexual appetite abounds."

"It's a reflection
of the writer's true self."

Did you stop to think
how the writer would feel reading these?

Defamation is graver
than contempt, you know?

You could go to prison.

"Prison"?

Keep reading.

"If I was a shareholder in that company,
I'd get rid of the boss."

"This is why the young get no respect.
All they do at work is…"

YEONSEO POLICE STATION

Secretary Yeo.

Secretary Yeo!

I'm done here.

Where?

Why are you there?

You should be ready
to meet your boss outside.

Stop stealing a living, okay?

Just hurry then!

-What a loser.
-I'm right outside.

-I'm going to destroy you.
-That's right!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

I'm sorry.

-Are you all right?
-Hello?

You dropped your phone.

Here.

Ms. Yeon Bo-ra, the hater
was questioned by the police.

-You're Writer Yeon Bo-ra?
-Yes.

What?

He must be in Canada to see his mom.

And I guess he had to
switch his number to stay there.

Hello. Who is…

Oh, it's you, Ja-yeon.

Whose phone are you using?

What?!

Stay right there.

I'll be right there.

YEONSEO POLICE STATION

I think I'm in the right place.

Is she not out yet?

Yes, sir. I'm here.

Mr. Bok?

Mr. Bok!

You're Mr. Bok Gyu-hyun,
the CEO of Kkulbee, aren't you?

Yes, that's me.

Were you mugged, sir?

No, I wasn't.

I'm sorry, but who are you?

Good afternoon.

I'm Manager Son Hae-yeong
of Education Team One

of Kkulbee's Education.

Oh, you won the grand prize
at the recent in-house contest.

Yes, sir.

With the awards ceremony
being held informally,

I was slightly disappointed
not to see you, sir.

I'm sorry. I had personal matters.

Let's see.

I'm very happy that we were able to
find a talented individual like you

thanks to the in-house contest.

I have high expectations of you
and your new business proposal.

I ask that you lead the task force well.

I will do my best to propel Kkulbee

to the top spot in our industry.

Here.

The hater left it with the police.

Hey, why didn't you
tell me about all of this?

I can't believe you went alone.

I didn't want you to worry.

Are you stupid?

And why did you run away?

He's the one in the wrong.

You're dressed to kill.

You should've kicked his crotch
and thrown him some compensation.

That's what I wanted to do,

but I got scared when I faced him.

Did he look scary and intimidating?

He looked so normal.

He asked me if I was all right
when I fell over

and picked up my phone for me.

Then he left it with the police.

He's a totally normal person.

It turns out normal people like him
write hateful comments online.

The reality just scared me.

Mr. Kim Ji-uk?

NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Place the table right in the middle.

KKULBEE EDUCATION

Sir, could you please move
the vase to the corner?

-Could you lower it a bit?
-Watch your back.

Great. Thank you.

TEAM LEADER SON HAE-YEONG

LETTER OF APOLOGY

You're Writer Yeon Bo-ra?

All right.

I'm off for the day, sir.

You can't keep doing this, Secretary Yeo.

You're stealing a living!

I'm not stealing a living, sir.

It's my day off today.

Then why are you here?

I'm meeting a friend nearby,

so I had to kill some time.

A friend?

You have a friend?

Yes, she's my high school classmate
and now a children's story writer.

Do you want to meet her?

I'm your boss.

Imagine how uncomfortable she'd feel
if I joined.

Go. I'm busy.

Goodbye, sir.

Friend?

When do the new recruits get here,
Ms. Son?

How are you exhausted already?

I think I'm getting old.

They'll be here soon
once they're done with onboarding.

-Who's down for coffee?
-I can go.

No, I'll go.

I'm done organizing my office.

An iced latte for you?

-Yes.
-And you?

An iced vanilla latte, please.

An IVL? Okay, I'll remember that.

Thank you!

Hello, sir.

There's no way a secretary
has something his boss doesn't.

Seriously, a friend?

Guess where I am, Hae-yeong.

I'm seeing Ha-jun!

NAM JA-YEON

Have a fun date.

I know a good tteokbokki place nearby.

-Welcome.
-Hello.

One iced latte, one iced vanilla latte,
and one iced americano.

Also, three pressed croissants.

Your card, please.

Can't wait to eat it.

WELCOMING THE 23RD COHORT
OF KKULBEE NEW RECRUITS

Oh, my.

Excuse me, coming through.

Excuse me.

-Oh, excuse me.
-Yes?

NEW RECRUIT
NO A-REUM

Thank you so much.

New recruits, please gather around.

You…

Why are you…

I missed you,

ma'am.

THANKS TO BYEON WOO-SEOK
FOR HIS SPECIAL APPEARANCE

What are you talking about?

Your fake husband joined your company?

Did she know already?

If she approached Secretary Yeo
knowing that he works for me…

Listen carefully.

If you get caught,
I'm holding another ceremony.

It'll be your funeral.

You missed him, didn't you?

Whenever you left food for Baby,

you complained about not seeing
the damn cat and some person.

I didn't want to see you again like this,
but something came up.

We were never close enough
to have to keep secrets from each other.

Is that what you really think?
