(Hot Love Issue)

When did you start liking Kay?

Things happen. It's normal.

But I think it wouldn't work out if we dated.

He might not see your worth,

but it doesn't mean you're worthless.

Don't worry, Rin.

Your son is like my own.

Gott and I have agreed

to be in a relationship.

You're not okay with that?

I'll try consoling you again.

Then you can tell me how you feel.

Good morning.

Guy.

Guy.

- Guy, wait. - Gott.

Don't follow me. Go away.

Guy, hear me out.

- I... - Don't bother.

We just got carried away. I wasn't in my right mind.

But I was.

I believe you were too.

I did not

just get carried away.

I'm happy whenever I'm around you.

You feel the same way, don't you?

Enough.

You are dating my mother.

Nothing you say will make this right.

It's all my fault. I'm sorry.

Let's keep what happened between us

because it will never happen again.

Guy.

Here you are.

Come have some porridge.

Gott.

I saw your car parked outside, so I made some for you too.

Thank you so much.

How did you sleep last night? Did Guy toss and turn?

Well, not really.

I bet you had a great time watching the game.

Did you have fun?

Yes, we did.

Guy's favorite team scored

as soon as the game started.

Wow.

Guy.

Have you heard back from the internship application?

Not yet.

The spots are probably full already.

What?

Will this cause a problem with the university?

I'm planning to apply to other places.

Why waste your time

when you can intern at my company?

You will be able to help your mother plan a marketing strategy.

I study food engineering, not marketing.

I thought you were interested in marketing.

Accept the offer.

Despite being a small company,

we prioritize quality service.

You will learn so much from us.

It's a good idea.

It's decided then. You will intern at Gott's company.

Don't waste your time applying

to food engineering companies.

Whatever you say.

Mom, can I go? I'm not that hungry.

Really?

You must be tired.

Gott.

I have good news.

A YouTuber with more than one million followers

wants to interview me about my vitamin water.

Wow.

That's great news.

They also want you at the interview.

Why would they invite me?

I have nothing to do with your product.

They have invited you to join as my marketer.

I see. All right then.

Through extensive experience

and a commitment to trial and error,

I have developed the best product.

That's amazing.

The next question is for Gott,

the brand's marketer.

What strategies did you use to rapidly boost

the brand's popularity?

My strategy involved

leveraging the brand's strengths

and gradually expanding the target customer base.

We prioritized providing valuable information to our customers

rather than solely focusing on profit.

That's a great mindset. Your focus was on offering valuable information

while also ensuring the brand's profitability.

It's a very useful marketing tip for us.

- Thank you both today - No, thanks.

- for sharing your insights with us. - Thank you.

This concludes our episode.

See you next time.

I hope to speak with you again.

- Sure. - Stay tuned for the next episode.

Thank you and goodbye.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hello, Narin. - Hello, Wut.

Are you here to supervise the production?

You are giving an interview as a rising entrepreneur.

I have many things to learn from you.

This is Wut, the owner of the channel.

Hello.

Thank you so much for coming.

Do you have any future plans to partner up with Narin?

I'm not sure yet.

I own a company.

We're working on many projects right now.

I'm very interested in your work.

I'd love to work with you

as I'm expanding my business.

That would be great.

Here's my business card.

Hold on.

I'll be in touch.

Great, here you go.

I have a meeting to attend.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

Do you know that Wut not only owns this channel

but also manages several other businesses?

He has great connections.

He could easily distribute our product across the country.

I can’t believe I exchanged business cards with such a high-profile man.

He must have recognized your potential.

Your future is shining brightly.

You are the one

who lit up my future path.

You better stick around then.

I need your help with work.

I will stay and help with everything,

not just work.

I've been charmed by you.

I didn't know that.

I will remind you every day from now on.

Listen, let's go get something to eat. It's on me.

- All right? - Sure.

- After you. - Thanks.

Prim.

Guy.

This is Prim, my secretary.

- Hello. - Hello.

This is Guy, the new intern.

I see.

Guy, your desk is here.

Your main duty is to assist me and Prim.

We are currently working on your mother's project and several others.

Prim will tell you what to do.

If you have any questions,

come see me in my office.

Thank you.

Gott.

While you were out with Rin for the interview,

Ae called regarding the campaign revision.

Really? How did it go?

I coordinated, listened to the brief,

and developed a new idea for the project plan.

- Wow. - Ae is happy now.

What a relief.

- Thanks so much. - Sure.

You are very helpful.

I do what I can to help.

I've been busy with Rin's project as it involves

a lot of intricate details.

That's why I haven't had time for other projects.

I know.

Please take care of them for me.

Of course. I'll do my best.

Your girlfriend sent her son to intern here.

Is she worried that your employees might steal you away from her?

I was the one who suggested it.

He should learn about what his mother does.

But marketing isn't his major.

I don't care. He needs to learn everything himself.

I'm too busy to babysit a kid.

I'm not asking you to babysit him.

Your main focus should be on me.

Stop it, Gott. You led me on,

only to start dating another woman.

I should get back to work.

(Pork Noodles)

This shop is next to the soccer field.

You can come here after your game next time.

Finish your food first

before it gets cold.

Can't you put your phone down?

I'm texting someone.

You've been texting since we got here.

I'm texting my friends.

I get it now.

Don't follow him.

See?

His boyfriend went after him.

You would have made things worse for them

if you had followed Kem.

You might just be an intern,

but you should be able to complete a simple task like this.

It's not difficult.

There's plenty of information online.

Or you could have come to me.

I'm sorry.

Prim.

Don't blame it on him. He's new.

He's here to work, not to sit around.

Who's going to take responsibility if we can't submit it on time?

Talk to him nicely then.

I'm sorry.

I forgot.

Do whatever you want with him then.

It's okay.

Prim's like that.

She's serious about work

and sometimes too straightforward.

Let me see what adjustments could be implemented.

From what I see,

you should do more research on the client

and the target customers.

It will help you come up with better ideas.

Sometimes,

we need to know what is on the client's mind.

Know what's on their mind?

How do I do that?

Let's assume

that our client’s target customers were teenage boys.

We would have to do research on what they like.

The same goes

for when you are hitting on someone.

Say if I were interested in you,

I would learn

about your personality and hobbies

and engage in those same interests.

I know.

Before you started hitting on my mother,

you must have done research on her.

Come see me in my office after work today.

I have an old project to show you.

You can use it to guide you.

That way, Prim will be satisfied

with your work next time.

Okay.

(Kem)

Hello, Guy.

What is it?

Can we meet this evening?

I have no one else to turn to.

You have Kay.

Go talk to your boyfriend.

I'd rather talk to you. Can we meet?

Gott.

I can't stay after work today.

Let's do it tomorrow. Something urgent came up.

What happened?

I have to meet a friend.

See you tomorrow.

A friend?

Kay and I broke up.

What?

How come? Why this fast?

Did you see the story I posted?

Yes.

Kay cheated on me.

I thought it was suspicious that he didn't share my story.

I thought he wasn't ready to go public, but it wasn't that.

You can never truly know someone.

You chose him.

I know I was dumb.

I'm kidding.

It's okay. Better sooner than later. Let him go.

Don't overthink it.

You'll get insomnia like you always do.

I already have insomnia.

I don't want to be alone tonight too.

Can you stay over at my place tonight?

Your place?

Yes.

Why don't you come to my house?

That works.

Your mother will be home, right?

I'd love to catch up with her.

It's been a while.

Enjoy some juicy watermelon.

You must be hungry.

I'll cook you dinner.

That's all right. We already ate.

Where have you been? I haven't seen you for ages.

I've been busy with the internship.

I invited him over.

He had nowhere to go.

His lover cheated on him and broke his heart.

What a surprise.

You have a guest.

He's not a guest.

This is Kem, Guy's best friend.

He used to visit us often,

but he's been busy lately.

Oh, Kem.

We met during soccer.

- Hello, Gott. - Hello.

Let's play games in my room.

Sure.

Guy and Kem look quite close.

They are very close.

They were besties in first year.

They've been friends since. He is Guy's first friend.

I hadn't seen him recently though.

No, I almost got it.

Thanks for keeping me company.

I'm your friend. Of course I worry about you.

I shouldn't have

wasted my time on Kay.

You are always like this.

Take your time before you decide to pursue someone.

Not every person will be sincere.

Don't bother.

We just got carried away.

I did not

just get carried away.

You had feelings for me, didn't you?

Help me move on.

We can keep it a secret between us.

I won't tell anyone that you are gay.

What are you saying?

Look at you.

Are you shy?

No, I'm not. Let's just continue playing.

I feel much better. Thanks so much.

Kem.

Are you leaving?

- Yes. - I'm going to the grocery store.

Do you need a ride?

Yes, please. Thank you for offering.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

I invited Guy to go jogging.

I'll come here first. Then we'll leave in the evening.

I'm free tomorrow.

Can I come?

Sure.

Shall we go?

Are you tired?

Take a seat. I want to run a few more laps.

You’ve become fitter since the breakup.

Jogging helps clear my head.

Drink some water.

Thank you.

Do you still have feelings for Kem?

Well, I guess so.

Whenever one feels lost,

one would search for a spiritual anchor.

I understand because it happens to me too.

What do you mean?

I'm talking about...

that night.

I tried to forget about it.

I tried to pay more attention to your mother.

I don't know why, but I couldn't do it.

The harder I tried,

the more I realized that I'm happier

with you.

Am I that important to you?

I guess so.

You are not upset, are you?

No.

If you want to date Kem, then go for it.

I'm sure you are able to choose the right man for you.

Won't you?

It's okay. My treat.

Why are you offering to pay?

To thank you for joining me on my run.

I feel better thanks to you.

You're exaggerating. You started sprinting out of nowhere.

Come on. It's true.

I want to return the favor if I can.

Do you want to go anywhere tonight? I'll tag along.

Pass. I just want to go home.

Maybe tomorrow? I'm free too.

What is this? Why are you sucking up to me now?

What's up with you? You're acting suspicious.

Well, I got to be close to you again.

And it felt so nice.

Didn't we used to somewhat go out with each other?

Then what about that night?

How did it happen?

Things happen. It's normal.

I'm sorry I overlooked you back then.

But I think of you as more than a friend now.

Can we give dating a try?

You haven't found anyone you have feelings for either, have you?

I'm happier

with you.

Kem,

I don't think I can date you.

It's probably better for us to stay friends.

I have to go.

Oh? How come?

It's a lot clearer now. Thank you so much.

It's already late.

Stay for dinner. I've already ordered something.

It should be here soon.

And what about Kem? How is it going?

Did you agree to keep seeing each other?

No, we didn't.

Kem told me he wanted us to start dating,

but I don't have feelings for him like I used to anymore.

It's best to be honest

about your own feelings.

Gott,

the truth is...

I have feelings for you.

But I feel guilty toward Mom.

Likewise.

I feel uncomfortable

just like you do.

I don't want things to be like this.

Me neither.

But what can we do? It's already happened.

Both of us want to forget about it.

But we can't.

I feel sorry for Mom

that she has to go through this.

Don't blame yourself.

There's nothing wrong

with us being this way.

Rather, we've been burdened

with expectations

to make her happy.

So what should we do?

Our feelings are mutual.

Isn't that happiness?

We get to be ourselves.

That desire is also mutual.

I think we should...

let things be for now. Don't you agree?

And...

how long do things have to stay this way?

I think we should help your mom

get through her work for now.

You want to see her happy, don't you?

If her work goes well,

then she'll be happy.

I truly believe

a solution will present itself when the time comes.

I will be the one to tell her.

I won't let it go on much longer.

- I have to say her product... - Rin,

is up to standard.

I'm sorry I brought Guy home late.

I had to continue with his training.

It's no problem at all.

Have you eaten anything?

We had something just now.

Mom, I'm going to take a shower.

Gott, our interview with Wut has now been published.

He sent me the video so I could watch it.

Oh, and about him wanting to co-invest with us,

he's already given me his answer.

But as far as I understand, we need to have our own factory first

before he actually agrees to it.

But I invested everything in the new product.

It does sound interesting.

But my company is only a small business.

I don't think we have enough capital for such a big investment.

But it's a wonderful opportunity.

But if...

theoretically,

we merged our companies,

do you think it could be a possibility?

I think so.

If we partner up with Wut,

it's possible for us to earn hundreds of millions.

But I think we'd need to take out a bank loan first.

Is that really necessary?

That's right. We have to decide quickly as well

because Wut might change his mind and partner up with someone else.

He's got a lot of offers on the table.

Gott, may I invite you

as an honorary guest to my wedding on the 10th of next month?

Of course. Congratulations.

Thank you so much. Well then, I should get back to work.

Sure.

Here's the document that needs your signature.

I'm so jealous of her.

When will I have a chance like that?

It shouldn't take you too long.

You're a lovely lady.

Anyone would be lucky to have you.

Do you really think so?

Of course.

And don't you want to be the lucky guy?

If I was given the chance,

I'd do everything in my power so you could be mine.

Otherwise, I'd resign and go work somewhere else.

Come on. Don't be like that.

You've been working for me for years, Prim.

And there are still many more years to come, right?

Maybe...

when the time comes,

the impossible might become possible.

Who knows?

You're always getting my hopes up, Gott.

But I'm really jealous of her.

Before I came in to see you,

she told me that

she and her partner are buying

their dream home after the wedding

because then they'd qualify for a joint loan.

A joint loan?

That's right.

They've been planning it for ages.

I'm so jealous. When will I get the chance?

So jealous.

I should get back to work.

I want to find someone.

(Who can apply for a joint loan?)

(Didn't get your loan approved?)

(Who can you apply for a joint loan with?)

(One with the same last name, Sibling with a different last name, )

(Spouse)

(Spouse)

I'm so happy I get to be with you.

Same here.

I want to spend every night with you

and wake up to see your face every morning.

I'd love that too.

Well then. Should we...

Should we get married?

Is that really necessary?

So we'll always get to be together.

But maybe...

you don't want to marry again?

You might've gone through a lot

and don't want to loop back to where you were.

I certainly have gone through a lot.

And I was married before.

But I also believe

in fresh starts.

But it depends on whether

the love we have for each other is enough

and if we're confident that we want to be together forever.

If you get to throw another wedding,

what kind of ceremony would you like to have?

I'd like a small ceremony.

The guest list would be people we're close to,

and it'd be full of love.

What about you?

I have the same thought.

Take it slow, Rin.

Okay. We're here.

May I?

Oh?

This is the place we jogged together.

Exactly.

Happy anniversary to us.

Have a seat.

Do you remember?

Last time you nearly fell over because you'd been working hard.

And I told you

I wanted to take better care of you.

I meant what I said.

You've been looking after me in every aspect of my life.

Work

or whatever makes me happy.

I want to bring you here to relax as much as I can

and on every anniversary.

Every anniversary

until we're grey?

Forever

and for the rest of our lives.

First of all, can you look after what I eat first?

Everything looks so tasty.

Of course. I've got so many things for you.

Is something the matter?

My friend's calling. She probably wants to discuss her problems.

You should answer if it's urgent.

I don't think it's serious.

Let's eat.

I've also brought pomelo, your favorite.

Here you go.

Hello, Pie.

Should we arrange to meet then?

Sure, Gott.

Don't forget.

This is our little secret.

No problem. Your secret's safe with me.

Okay.

Guy, can you come to see me in my office?

Is there anything I can do for you?

Do you want

me to train you after work today?

- Gott. - Hm?

How long do we have to keep this from Mom?

Not much longer.

I have an idea.

I'll get it over with as soon as possible.

Guy, yesterday after work,

did Gott do anything else with you?

He trained me for work as usual.

Why? Is something the matter?

I've noticed he's been acting strange

since our anniversary.

Someone called him, but he rejected the call.

I tried calling him today, but he wouldn't answer.

He's probably busy.

Can you get dressed and come with me?

To where?

Where is he going?

- This is the overall atmosphere. - Mhm.

It also depends on your preference.

Mom!

Pie, without your help, I'd be...

Rin?

How did you get here?

You wouldn't answer any of my calls

or call me back.

I haven't seen...

her in a while.

So we're here to catch up.

On what?

Gott, she still doesn't know I'm going to be...

Your wife?

Rin,

this is a misunderstanding.

I asked her to help me organize

my wedding.

Your wedding?

So you came into my life and lied to me.

Well,

Gott wants to propose to you, Rin.

So he's been asking me for advice.

You want to...

marry me?

That's right.

I asked Pie to be our wedding planner.

And this is one of the places I'm trying to figure out

if you'd like it or not.

Look around you.

I was going to keep this a secret

so that I could surprise you.

Ever since our discussion about getting married that night,

I didn't want to waste any more time.

I want to officially spend my life with you.

Rin, what's wrong?

Did you think I was cheating on you?

Since the cat's already out of the bag,

it's time for your surprise.

After all this time,

even though it hasn't been that long,

I've been so happy to be with you.

I've decided I want to spend my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

It might be true love for one person and manipulation for the other.

Thank you for choosing me as your life partner.

I'm the luckiest woman in the world.

The lucky one is me. I got to meet you.

So do you love me or Mom?

You've been spending a lot of time with Gott lately.

Has he done anything weird to you?

I'm warning you. Stay away from my family.

And stay away from Guy.

There's a reason

behind everything I'm doing.

So you're conning the mom for money and sleeping with her son in secret?

They're split into blue and red teams.

When you mix blue with red,

what color do you get? Purple.

I'm not playing. I'll be in the middle.

I'm not going onto the field. I'm happy to be the ref.

I came to congratulate Mom.

That's the way it is nowadays.

So scary.

This is my mom.

This is behind the scenes...

Sure.
