The Best Moment to Quit Your Job

"Namhee's Ocean"

After she tried to break up with him, he showed up with a knife!

This is a very serious situation.

You need to break up right now.

He is never going to change.

Break up with him right away! Today!

Thank you for setting aside time for me.

No problem.

I really hope I can be of help.

I have never been able to tell anyone this.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate your frequent phone calls.

It is not a big deal.

Your work saved me.

Really?

After what you told me,

I feel like I can break up with my boyfriend in person.

I can escape it this time, right?

Of course!

Stay strong. You can live a different life!

I will support you.

Thank you.

- I will contact you. - Okay.

Shall we get up?

"Mr. Hee-hoon" "Do you want to go to an exhibition?"

I need some cultural activities.

And I need showers.

Hello.

- How are you? - Good.

- Let's go. - Okay.

I have thought about what you told me the other day.

What did I tell you?

When you are young, the bigger the pain, the bigger the fruit.

That actually gave me strength, so I have been able to work harder.

I have been a help to you?

I am relieved.

Oh, that's right.

- I wanted to ask you... - Yes?

A friend from college is getting married.

She is 26, and the guy is 40.

Isn't the age gap too big?

What do you think?

Well...

To me, it seems fine...

There is over a 12 year age difference.

It's not my business, so I don't know what I can say...

But these days,

it is hard for someone young to be financially stable.

Of the people who are in their 30's nowadays,

how many do you think is capable of buying their own house?

Right.

That naturally delays the time men get married,

and since they want children after they marry,

they go after younger women.

I think it makes sense.

Socially, and biologically.

Is that so?

I guess he would be more dependable.

I have actually thought about meeting someone much older than me,

and having a life where I don't have to worry about much.

But then, he would feel like my dad.

It's paradoxical, isn't it?

That isn't your fault.

The problem is this backwards-going world.

Namhee!

Namhee!

What are you doing?

Why did you leave suddenly?

You really don't know?

Namhee...

You have feelings for me, right?

What?

We are just friends.

That's all?

Then why have you been so nice to me?

Because we're friends...

I mean...

I think there's a misunderstanding.

Maybe...

- I have been a bit inappropriate... - No, it's...

I don't think we should contact each other from now on.

Then why did you come out to see me all this time?

Why have meals with me, and spend time with me?

I...

I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Namhee!

Why did you do it?

Why did you do that to me?!

What's wrong with him...

He's married.

This is crazy.

It's my reader!

Did she finally break up with him?

"I'm getting married."

"Please don't contact me again."

What is this?

Yeonji, do you still have a lot left?

We have a company dinner.

No.

I finished it a while ago. I just wanted to revise it.

I see some problems...

Don't be a perfectionist.

Sorry?

Don't make trouble for yourself.

You're not doing anything huge.

You're not going to change the world, or grow this company.

It's just wet tissues.

"Yeonji" "I got a regular position."

"Come to our house this evening. Let's celebrate."

Hey, Hye-young.

You saw the message, right?

When are you coming?

Aren't you going to eat?

Why don't you answer me? What a brat.

What are we eating?

You have so much luggage. How long are you staying?

- Why won't you answer? You little... - I don't know.

She's upset, and won't even speak.

Just live here then...

Why can't I chew this?

Grandma.

You take off the plastic wrapping first.

Sheesh!

How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?

At your age, shouldn't you know everything?

Hey! This is my first time being 70!

That's right. Being old doesn't mean you know everything.

"Hye-young's Leg"

Miss Hye-young.

- You came early. - Yes.

There wasn't a lot of traffic.

Say hello.

Hi, I'm Minseo's friend. I've heard a lot about you.

Nice to meet you.

I came because I heard the cakes here are great.

I'm not in the way, am I?

I told you. You're not.

What do you think of Miss Hye-young?

She's not weird, is she?

She does have a strange vibe.

Didn't I tell you that's not how it is?

Miss Hye-young isn't like that!

You are the one who said she's weird...

It was just a vibe, that's all.

She's very nice to me, like a big sister.

Let's not defame her.

Nobody's defaming her.

Miss Hye-young, this is really good. Try it.

- I said I'd walk you home. - It's okay. I'll take the subway.

- Bye. - Goodbye.

Bye.

Does your leg hurt a lot?

It's just part of my job...

Have you been to the hospital?

To do that, I need to take a sick-leave.

The doctor tells me to just rest and never be on my feet.

That means I should stop working...

Still...

you have to go to the hospital...

You'll make it worse.

Right...

If my body breaks down, how am I supposed to make a living?

You're not being yourself.

What is being myself?

I've been working three years now.

Yeah. Time goes so fast.

I loved this work so much,

but now that I do it for money, I hate it.

"Minseo" "Miss Hye-young, are you home now?"

"Thank you for today."

Who is it?

Someone from work.

Your job is stable though, right?

I'm worried I might not get my contract extended.

Yeah.

I'm doing fine...

Are you okay, Miss Hye-young?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yes. It comes with what I do.

Okay...

It's lunchtime now.

Eat with the others today. I'm supposed to meet someone.

Alright.

I found this great dessert café on the internet.

Do you want to go there this weekend?

Next time. I have other business...

Then when you're free...

Miss Hye-young.

Are you not feeling well?

Or did something happen?

No. Nothing like that.

Did I do something wrong?

No.

It's okay. You can tell me.

I said no.

I'll take this out to the store.

Miss Hye-young, what are you doing? I need the bread now.

What is this?

What are you doing?

You're not new to this. How could you do this?

I told the customer it would be out right away!

I'm sorry.

You get paid to do this. Sorry isn't good enough!

I don't believe this.

Hello? Manager?

Miss Hye-young.

Yes.

Did something happen?

Sorry?

The store owner filed a complaint.

Oh...

I made a mistake earlier.

If this gets officially reported,

there will be a lot of damage to you.

Right...

Should I report this or what?

I'll talk to my boss about it

and apologize. I'm very sorry...

Step up, okay?

People higher up are breathing down my neck.

It's tough for me.

I'm sorry...

"Chef's Bakery"

Hello?

Hey, Hye-young.

You saw the message, right?

When are you coming?

Yeonji.

I have something, so I can't come today.

Congratulations on your regular position.

It's nothing serious...

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm sorry, Yeonji. I should go.

Miss Hye-young, I'm leaving.

Okay.

Thank you for everything so far.

You've done well.

Goodbye.

Here...

Thank you for taking care of me all this time.

It was a success, thanks to your instructions.

I wanted you to be the first one to taste this.

I love the smell of your bread.

It smells nice...

"Hyun's Sunshine"

Miss Hyun, let's grab dinner.

- Stop it! - What should we eat?

I told you not to come to the classroom.

Okay, okay.

- When should we go? - Just message me.

Thank you.

Eat. Now is the best time.

If you cook it more, it gets hard.

Okay.

Do you know if you're signing another contract next semester?

Not yet.

I see...

You've done a lot of work this semester.

You did the parents school,

and you were the first one to sign up for training.

You've done well, so you will be fine.

Miss Han Hee-jung...

The one who took a maternity leave?

What about her?

Have you heard anything about her coming back?

Maybe she'll come back early.

I wonder if you were filling her place.

It's going to be fine.

Worrying is not going to change what happens.

Positive energy, remember?

Yes...

What should we do after dinner?

Go for a drive, like last time?

What? What did I do?

Eat! Eat up!

Here!

Aren't you going to answer that?

It's nothing.

It's okay. Answer it.

- Miss Jung Hyun... - Yes?

Do you have a minute?

What is it?

I...

And you find everything okay?

Yes.

Good...

You know...

You have done a really good job this semester...

It's okay. Go on.

Miss Han Hee-jung is coming back.

So I think...

this semester will be your last one here.

I wanted to keep you here longer, but...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Good.

You're very diligent,

so you will find a good position in no time.

Good luck on your studying for the test.

I'm sure you'll pass this year.

Right.

If there's nothing else, I will excuse myself.

Okay.

Go on. Just...

Make sure everything's ready to be passed on.

Okay.

Miss Jung Hyun.

Mr. Dae-woon has some exciting news.

Here...

"We're getting married" "Kim Dae-woon and Kim Yu-jung"

Congratulations.

Mr. Dae-woon.

Yes?

Is she a regular teacher?

Miss Jung Hyun.

I'm sorry.

- I should have told you... - No.

Congratulations.

- What I mean is... - Congratulations.

I...

I really tried to break up with her...

Save it.

I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for understanding...

Understanding...

Of course I don't understand.

Do Americans understand this?

Really...

Do people that live in America understand something like this?

It's not like that.

I'll explain everything to you.

This isn't a good place, so let's talk later in private, okay?

I thought you didn't care what anybody thought.

Talk here.

What?

Hyun, I saw your message.

Your contract wasn't extended?

No...

It's okay.

You can find another place.

There are schools hiring, right? You're looking, right?

Hyun.

You've been doing great. Just hang in there a little more.

And you have to pass that test.

- Mom... - What is it, Hyun?

I...

I'm getting the money this month, right?

If you find another spot right away, you can...

Mom!

What? Aren't you going to get paid?

Please! Please, stop it!

This is too much for me, mom!

This is all too much for me!

Stop crying, for god's sake!

Stop crying!

Stop!

"Yeonji" "I got a regular position."

"Come to our house this evening. Let's celebrate."

You have a regular position now...

Dream come true, right?

Not exactly.

My contract wasn't extended.

- Hyun. - It's okay.

I'm not going to take the teacher certification test.

I never liked kids to begin with.

I never liked this job.

I've been forcing myself to do it.

But admitting that was really...

difficult for me.

I felt like if I admitted that,

I would be a failure...

I was really jealous of you guys.

I got better grades than you did,

and went to a good university...

I thought I had worked harder than anyone.

But all I could do was hang on, and survive.

Now that I've let go of everything,

I feel so peaceful.

Giving up

is not failing

but simply making a new choice.

I don't know why it was so hard to admit that.

"Yeonji, when are you coming home?"

"I'll be waiting for you."

"Call me."

"Seoul - Daejeon" "Reservation Complete"

Hello.

- Hi. - How can I help you?

Can I have some aspirin and digestant?

Sure.

"Next Time" Is there a best moment to quit a job?

Why do you work here, deputy?

Where do you think working there is going to get you?

Why do you think I even work at this awful place?

You are a so much better person than you think you are.

I'm resigning.
