My childhood was simply pitiful.

- Hey, come here! - Help me!

- Let go! - I only have memories...

of being beaten and crying.

(Midterm Exams, Korean)

It didn't matter if I got perfect scores on my exams.

I never heard a single word of praise.

- Get up. - I'm scared.

With only one hope of leaving home,

I endured those times.

You unlucky brat.

- To me, parents were... - Get out of my life!

- like nightmares I couldn't forget. - Disappear!

But now,

that nightmare...

had gone to sleep forever.

I felt deep sorrow.

Couldn't we have been happy like other families?

If we could've at least been normal,

how nice would it have been?

Then,

I could've become a good daughter too.

(Funeral Center)

How did you know and come here?

Ji Seok called me.

To be by your side.

Yoon Seo.

Yoon Seo.

Let go of me!

Why are you here?

Who are you to come all the way here and interfere?

Yoon Seo.

I don't know how much you heard,

but not all families are alike.

And I don't think of that woman...

as my mom.

I'm not sad at all.

So, leave.

Leave!

Then, why are you crying?

You say you're not sad.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I tried hard not to pity myself.

But,

as he held me in his arms,

I suddenly felt...

like I was so pitiful.

That was why I cried.

It wasn't because my mother's death was sad.

I pitied myself so much.

I'm embarrassed.

What?

I said I was embarrassed...

for crying like that.

How much did you hear?

Not much.

Just about how you and Ji Seok ended up living on your own.

If you heard, you must know.

I didn't live a very stable life.

So, I think that was why...

I was so obsessed with having a happy family.

My childhood...

was always so pitiful.

"Pitiful?"

It must've been so hard, more than I could ever imagine.

You endured that life.

And you're so amazing for being so strong.

I've always thought that way.

I lived a life where everything was given to me the moment I was born.

(Personnel Appointment Notice)

(Ha Yoon Seo, Marketing Team 1 assistant manager to manager)

Assistant... I mean, Manager Ha! Congratulations!

Congratulations.

- Me? - You were promoted!

Everyone, applause!

- Thank you. - You had achieved everything...

on your own.

- Congratulations! - I admired you for that.

Sorry for suddenly coming here.

I knew you might not like it,

but I thought you'd be struggling.

I came because I didn't want you to be alone.

I know.

Thank you.

You consoled me.

Let's go now. It's cold.

Okay.

Yoon Seo, let's get married.

Let's get married.

But...

I'm so grateful that you were born.

It was a miracle that we met,

and want to spend my whole life with you.

(Cinderella at 2AM)

Let's get married.

Yoon Seo, let's get married.

Well...

This is so sudden...

I'm not saying this out of the blue.

It's something I've been thinking of every single day.

You'll need some time to think, right?

Don't answer me now.

Take your time to think things over,

and answer me then.

What's wrong with Yoon Seo?

You said before that when she was struggling with something,

she would work herself physically to get rid of that thought.

Is that what's going on now?

Maybe.

I thought she was doing fine for a while.

Ha Yoon Seo.

What?

Let's talk.

- Why? I have to do this now. - Give me that.

Please stop torturing yourself physically...

when you're struggling on the inside.

It doesn't seem like something ordinary.

Have you decided to really end things with him?

He asked me to marry him.

What?

Seriously?

I just can't figure you guys out.

You say he's rich out of nowhere, you're breaking up suddenly,

and he suddenly comes to your house.

And now, you're suddenly getting married?

So? What did you say?

I said I'd think about it.

Ha Yoon Seo. I get that his family is a big deal,

but you two love each other so much.

But you can't get married just out of love.

If our marriage becomes known,

there will be news articles.

Then, people will wonder,

"Who's that regular woman that married the conglomerate son?"

They'll look into my personal life and talk about me.

Then,

Ji Seok might get hurt.

I'm scared too.

You've thought about all sorts of things, haven't you?

If you're lacking in some ways, you support each other.

If you're in pain, you caress the other.

I thought marriage was when you relied on each other like that.

But I don't know what I can do...

for Ju Won.

So,

I couldn't answer him right away.

What? You proposed to her?

- Yes. - Gosh, you're incredible, brother.

You got through Mother's opposition. You're actually getting married.

I'm not getting married. I just asked her to marry me.

Hey, that's the same thing.

I don't think I can leave Yoon Seo alone anymore.

Why, this little...

You left Mother all alone and left home.

I'll go back home soon.

I shouldn't avoid her anymore and try to convince her.

Gosh, but will she be convinced?

Don't you have anything good to say to me?

Oh, I'm sorry.

So? When will Yoon Seo give you her answer?

I'm not sure.

But I'm not going to rush her.

Until she takes plenty of time to think it over and answers me.

I'm going to wait for her for as long as it takes.

She doesn't look too happy.

She's not thinking negatively about our marriage, is she?

No, let's not do this.

Let's give her plenty of time. Yes.

But how long has it been?

It's only been an hour since I got to work?

Why is the time going by so slowly?

Si Won, do you like drinking during the day?

Do you want to take the afternoon off...

and go have some drinks?

Have you already had a drink?

What are you talking about?

I mean, it's because the time is going by so slowly.

I want to sleep, at least, but I can't.

Let's have some drinks. Okay?

Get out, punk. I have to work.

Si Won, please hit me with this once.

What?

I'll be knocked out for a while.

Please wake me when Yoon Seo messages me.

No.

(Vice Chairman Seo Si Won)

Would this be enough to knock me out?

Gosh, you must be out of your mind.

Gosh, seriously.

Si Won.

Go away!

Go away!

- Good work, everyone. - Good work.

- Good work. - Good work.

Shall we go now?

Si Won, can you go camping with me over the weekend?

Seo Ju Won, seriously...

He said he was going to wait after his proposal. Goodness.

Well, sure. I bet it's not easy.

(Wife)

Hello?

Hey, my meeting just ended.

What's up?

I'm in the lobby of your office.

I came for an urgent meeting.

"An urgent meeting?"

What urgent meeting would you have at my office?

The secretary's office is on alert...

because your photo was posted on social media.

Mother is coming up too.

What?

You. Have you started using social media?

Well, it was on my wife's social media.

So, it was just a tiny picture, Mother.

I looked like a piece of furniture in the background in that photo.

So, I know what you're worried about, Mother,

but the reaction isn't negative like it was before.

The reactions say things like, "It's heartwarming,"

"You look approachable," and "Everyone's lives are similar."

Something along those lines.

I will make sure not to be in photos even if it's just in the background.

There's no need for that.

From now on, don't be in the background.

Be in the forefront.

What?

Thanks to that photo,

all the rumors about our marriage have disappeared.

The rumors about our marriage being fake or about us getting divorced.

What...

There are even tabloid rumors...

that AL Corporation will be expanding with our reunion.

AL Corporation and the department store's stock prices have gone up.

- Really? - Yes.

Congratulations.

Your social media ban has been lifted as of today.

Right, Mother?

Gosh, you don't have to do this.

I'm off.

- Yes, Mother. - Bye.

- Are you that happy? - A bit.

You look super happy.

Well, hearing that the company is doing well, thanks to me,

makes me feel a stronger sense of responsibility.

Oh, you're happy as the vice chairman?

I do everything for their sakes in the end.

But that brat, Ju Won...

You're keeping a close eye on Ju Won, right?

Well, ma'am, that is...

Is something the matter?

Director Seo, I enjoyed lunch so much.

Sure.

You get along with us so easily...

that I keep forgetting that you're the chairwoman's son.

Let's talk for a minute.

Gosh. No way.

I've never seen the chairwoman so up close.

She's so charismatic, isn't she?

I was so shocked.

What on earth are you doing?

I'm going to get married.

Is that something you can decide on your own and notify me about?

You always did that too.

I was going to tell you once everything became clear.

I'll come home tonight.

I'll tell you in detail then.

You don't have to come.

Go to Spain.

- What? - You said you wanted to go.

You said you wouldn't allow it.

That girl.

I heard she handed in her letter of resignation.

I don't want to be so childish either,

but if you keep doing this, Ha Yoon Seo...

will never work here or anywhere else.

Here are the materials on financial policies in Spain.

Good job.

By the way, why Spain, all of a sudden?

And why is Director Seo going himself?

Oh, Director Seo going abroad has come up a few times before.

Is that all?

The chairwoman wanted an arranged marriage,

but it's not going her own way.

Really? Is Director Seo Ju Won going to Spain for good?

That's right.

The chairwoman tried to arrange his marriage,

but I guess Director Seo had a girlfriend.

So, I think he's being sent to Spain as if he's being exiled.

No way.

But that girlfriend is probably not someone in the company, right?

Come on. How could she be?

No way.

Big news!

Is there something bigger than seeing the chairwoman...

from 50cm away?

Director Seo has been appointed to the Spain office.

What? Why, all of a sudden?

The chairwoman called Ms. Ha and told them to break up.

But since they weren't able to break it off neatly,

I think the chairwoman is trying to send him off to Spain out of anger.

- Seriously? - Yes.

Figures. The chairwoman must be pressuring him,

and Ms. Ha is only going back and forth...

with how she feels about him.

Even I would want to leave the country.

As his senior in life, I felt so bad for him...

Is it true that you're going to...

the Spain office?

And what will you do if he says it is true?

Do you have the courage to hold onto him?

Okay, then, I'll make up a list of candidate artists...

for the support project and share it with you.

- Okay. - Good.

Thank you for that day.

For listening to my story.

You listened to my story too.

Let's call it even.

Okay.

By the way,

did you know it was me who called Seo Ju Won that day?

Really? I thought I had called him.

It was me.

You missed him so much that you kept asking for him.

You were struggling a lot, so I called him for you.

I was?

So, what happened to you two?

Seo Ju Won...

He's transferring to the branch office in Spain.

What?

Well, I'll be off then.

What is the problem?

I can totally see that you two love each other,

so I can't even butt in.

Why would you guys break up?

Mr. Lee.

Do you know why Cinderella ran off...

with all her might before midnight?

Do you know the reason?

What are you talking about?

It was because she didn't want...

to look ugly in front of the man she loved.

Without the beautiful dress...

and the cool pumpkin carriage,

she knew she'd feel so small.

I know she ran away,

but the prince visited her with the shoe the next day,

and that totally changed her life.

What kinds of thoughts do you think...

were running through her head until the prince showed up?

From about 2am to the moment...

when she saw the prince at her door in the morning.

I bet they were the most difficult moments in Cinderella's life.

And for me,

such difficult moments will go on...

for a very long time.

Here's what I think.

If you were Cinderella,

you wouldn't just sit there and agonize yourself at 2am.

You kept sending the proposal even though I kept turning it down.

When someone provoked you while driving,

you shouted this. "Let's not do this since we're both struggling."

So knowing you,

I'd say you're different from the Cinderella we know.

If you wanted to see him, you wouldn't hesitate...

to go to his castle.

A choice where your happiness is guaranteed...

It doesn't exist, Ms. Ha Yoon Seo.

Well, I've done my job.

Gosh, I thought I was the prince.

Turns out, I'm the fairy.

I suddenly have to go to Spain. I'm leaving now.

I'll call you once I get things sorted out. Take care.

He's leaving today?

(I suddenly have to go to Spain. I'm leaving now.)

The moment...

I started thinking that I may no longer have him by my side,

I was reminded of how hard he tried...

to achieve the happiness that was never guaranteed.

From now on, I'll cling to you.

Will you really break up with me?

Do you not like me anymore?

I thought...

you'd also need someone to turn to on stressful days.

Now,

all I have is you.

Let's get married.

The truth is, I wanted to give him my answer over and over again.

Even though I knew he was waiting for my answer,

I couldn't say anything.

It frustrated me, and I resented myself for it.

But...

if this really is my last chance...

Seo Ju Won!

What...

What are you doing here?

I'd never get to say this if I didn't do it now, so I'm here.

I might want to run away again if I lost this chance.

I've been pushing you away...

because I was scared,

thinking I might not be the right answer for you.

- Yoon Seo. - But...

I won't run away anymore.

I like you.

I can't live without you.

Am I too late?

Then it's my turn to cling to you.

From now on,

I'll cling to you.

Mr. Seo, what are you doing here?

I didn't mean to watch you. I'm here to see Ju Won off.

Anyway, that was amusing... No, I mean...

I'm glad I got to witness such a touching moment.

You can leave now, you know?

Okay, I'm leaving.

Here.

And you. Just hang in there for the next five days.

Ju Won will be back soon.

Pardon me?

Five days?

Yes. It's too long, isn't it?

Wait. I thought you'd be there for a long time.

No.

What? What is going on...

But if you keep doing this, Ha Yoon Seo...

will never work here or anywhere else.

Would you be happy if she had nowhere to go because of you?

Why would Yoon Seo have nowhere to go?

She can come to me.

The contract with that Spanish company.

I know it's very important to you,

so I'll go.

We can talk again once I'm back.

Have a safe trip, you sad fool.

You have to get on the plane without winning her back.

I feel so bad for you.

Whatever.

Get going. I'll head in now.

Wait. I brought you something.

You'll have a lot on your plate, so I brought you some supplements.

Here.

This too.

Here.

Just hand them all over.

Shoot.

Goodness. Oh, no!

Seo Ju Won!

What?

All passengers for KE 213 to Madrid, Spain,

please make your way to Gate Five now.

Oh, you should head in now.

I'll be off now.

You came here thinking I'd be there for a while?

Yes.

Do things change now that you know I'll be back in five days?

No, of course not.

All right, then. Do not take back what you said.

I won't.

Then promise me.

Yes, I promise.

No, not like this.

I'll have the legal team draft up a contract and make you sign it.

Do not take back what you said. You can't go back on your word.

Okay, I won't.

Do you love me?

Of course, I do.

You'll miss your flight. You should head in now.

I don't want to go.

Why do I have to be away for work at this important time?

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

I finally heard your answer.

Why do I have to leave today, of all days?

I just arrived at the hotel.

What are you up to?

Working, of course.

I can't wait to go back.

I really miss you.

(I can't wait to go back. I really miss you.)

I miss you too.

You haven't sent me a heart emoji in so long.

I'm sending you more hearts.

(I'm sending you more hearts.)

(I'm sending you more hearts.)

(4 days before Ju Won's return)

(Seo Ju Won)

Ye Young, look at this.

- Yes. - This card is...

- Hello? - My meeting just ended.

What are you up to?

Oh, I'm about to go into a meeting now.

I guess you're with people now.

I wish I could go into the meeting with you.

I really miss you so much.

I had to leave as soon as we got back together.

It's so awful, isn't it?

Yes, I agree.

By the way, you won't leave the company, right?

Oh, that's already been decided,

so I can't change my mind about it.

Why not?

Keep working with me. Please?

All right, then. I'll be in touch.

Gosh, seriously. You're so mean.

(3 days before Ju Won's return)

Hi, babe.

Me? I'm eating.

Ji Seok made me a rolled omelet.

Actually, you must miss Korean food.

A love shot? Oh, come on!

Yes.

My gosh, whatever. Stop it!

I hate to see her cry,

but this is worse.

(2 days before Ju Won's return)

(Day of Ju Won's return)

- Good luck! - Best of luck!

- Good luck on your exam! - Good luck on your exam!

(Best of luck on your CSAT! No second chance!)

- Good luck! - Best of luck!

- Good luck! - You got this!

(15th District, Examination Site 3)

Ha Ji Seok, don't be intimidated.

By the way, Yoon Seo,

I have to go to college, right?

Do you have to ask me this 30 minutes before your CSAT?

If I asked you after the exam,

you'd think it's because I bombed the exam.

It's been weighing on my mind for a while.

The tuition fees are very expensive, you know.

I don't want to waste your hard-earned money...

on something I'm not even passionate about.

Then what do you want to do?

I want to take some time off. Say, about a year.

I want to use that time to try out some part-time jobs...

and experience this and that to find what I really want to do.

You're all grown up now.

Yes, you don't have to feel anxious and run aimlessly...

just because everyone else is doing it.

I forced you to study...

because you were a student.

I just wanted you to do your best.

Right.

Yoon Seo, I promise you I'll become successful...

and make sure you can live comfortably.

So, you have to live a long life. Okay?

I'll live to be 1,000 years old. You'd better be ready for that.

Go on in. Call me as soon as you're done.

Okay, bye.

When did he grow up so much?

Should I come with you when Ji Seok has his CSAT?

What?

Why would you come when Ji Seok has his CSAT?

Just because. It's always just the two of you,

so I wanted to tag along.

Don't worry about it.

It might make him uncomfortable before his exam.

I suddenly miss him.

What is this? What are you doing here?

I told you I'd be here on the day of his CSAT.

I didn't want to make him uncomfortable,

so I waited until he went inside.

I didn't want you to be alone on a day like this.

I had to work very hard...

to come here in secret and surprise you.

Really?

Yoon Seo, let's not go to work today.

- What? - I've been waiting for this day.

The day we can be together like this.

I missed you so much when I was in Spain.

I almost lost my mind because I really wanted to see you.

Director Seo. Snap out of it, please.

At a time like this, you must work even harder...

and never do anything others might disapprove of. You know that.

Why are you smiling?

Well, it's been so long since the last time...

you lectured me like this.

Can you keep going?

What are you saying?

Let's go.

Okay.

Then I guess I can't skip work today.

I'll go over the things from the trip and come to you.

Are you all right?

Don't be so upset.

How could I not be upset?

Everyone got promoted except for me.

I swear, they said I'd get promoted this time!

I'm so depressed.

I mean...

When you were the only one who was promoted,

I understood the decision because you were more experienced than me.

But this time,

even Ye Young has been promoted to assistant manager.

Why did I get left out? Why?

That rich jerk.

He looked like he had a lot on his mind,

so I even took him to the octopus restaurant.

How could he betray me like this?

You know, Director Seo doesn't have the authority to...

Yes, he does!

I'm sure 50 percent of the decision came from him!

Ms. Ha, I'm so glad you broke up with him.

Why would you date a two-faced jerk like him?

No, go.

What? Why?

Just get out.

Get out?

It's very tense here right now.

(It's very tense here right now.)

Why? What happened?

Mr. Bae is really upset that he didn't get promoted.

Don't come here today.

Hang in there. Let's have something nice for dinner.

Ji Seok is having dinner with his friend,

so I'm free this evening.

Okay.

(Vice Chairman Seo Si Won)

Vice Chairman, why don't we have lunch...

Hey, you.

What's going on? What's with that outfit?

Oh, I'm going to play tennis with Mi Jin in a bit.

She wants to take some pictures for her social media.

Right, you're now allowed to show your face on social media.

Well, it's no big deal.

You have to play tennis just to take some pictures?

Right? My point, exactly.

Maybe it's just an excuse to get a date with me.

Hey, she had Secretary Kim drop off this outfit for me...

so we'd show up in matching outfits.

My gosh. Matching outfits? How childish.

Anyway, have lunch with Yoon Seo.

I've got a date.

See you!

What is this?

Is something going on between them?

We could just meet there, but she insisted on meeting me here.

She kept saying we should go together.

She's so persistent.

- Hey, you. - Hi.

My gosh. It looks great on you.

Is this better?

No, this looks better.

Let's go.

Here, sir.

Why are you giving me this?

What do you think? You should drive, husband.

Oh, she wants to go alone with me.

I should get some pictures of you driving the car.

We're doing this to promote the new car.

Promote the new car?

That's right.

I'll see you later.

Wait.

This is...

Today, we'll promote this new car model first.

These clothes are from a new brand at the department store, so...

Do we really have to do this though?

We'll get bashed for promoting these things so obviously.

- We won't make it obvious. - Goodness.

You're a pro marketer.

What? Did you say I'm professional?

What?

Thanks. I hope I can teach you a few things.

You can do it, Seo Si Won!

Nice!

How much longer must I do this for?

Turn your head a little to the left.

To the left? Like this?

Not that much. Back to the right.

- Like this? - Yes.

Oh, my gosh.

Do it again.

Again?

Bounce the ball.

Here goes.

That's nice.

Stop!

The photos taken in the other court look much nicer.

Let's go back there.

She got crazy artistic today.

You'd think she thinks she's Bong Joon Ho.

Hurry up.

You're right. It's much prettier over there.

(This Year's CSAT, Easier Than Last Year)

Is the atmosphere still dark over there?

(Ji Seok)

Hi, Ji Seok.

I was looking up the CSAT in the news.

It was easier this year. Did you do well?

Yes, I did.

Marking the answers, I mean.

The paper was pretty fancy.

Oh, right. I was going to meet Seok Hyun for dinner,

but his nerves made him ill and he took a rain check.

- What? - Are you that pleased?

You got upset I was meeting a friend on such an important day.

Are you excited my plans fell through?

I want meat for dinner. Where shall we go?

Oh, well...

Here. It's nicely cooked.

My goodness.

You've been through so much, and I'm so proud of you.

Thanks.

Here. Open wide.

I didn't study that much.

- Me? - Yes. Come on.

Good job, friend.

It must've been hard looking after a kid when you were a kid yourself.

Yoon Seo, have a drink. Well done, seriously.

Now that Ji Seok is grown up,

you can do whatever you want.

Yes, Yoon Seo. Stop worrying about me...

and spend all the time you want with Wimp.

Wait. Does Ji Seok know he proposed to you?

- He proposed? - For real?

What happened was...

You're cowering again.

Do you feel like cringing whenever his name comes up?

What's wrong?

Well...

I thought you'd need someone to lean on that day,

and that's why I called Wimp.

I'm okay with you getting back with him,

but I didn't think you'd discuss marriage already.

Thinking of how intimidated you'd feel in that house...

Did you give an answer?

I'm sure Seo Ju Won will be a good go-between.

Hey, bring him over one day.

I'll put him in his place so no one looks down on you.

Yes, that's right.

To be honest, I'm as good as family to you.

That makes me his mother-in-law.

- What? - I'll be the father-in-law, then.

I'll make him pay.

You're the brother-in-law. I'm the father-in-law.

Let's work on putting the rich heir in his place.

- We can do this. - Yes, we can!

What are you talking about? Who will you put in his place?

Goodness.

I'm the father-in-law.

Are you enjoying the party?

Can I join you?

- Let's not shy away. - Uncle.

Sorry. The atmosphere's a bit off today.

(Director Seo Ju Won)

The atmosphere there is off too?

Hey.

Seok Hyun feels better now. Can we go to an Internet cafe?

For real? Seok Hyun's okay?

That's great.

Were you that worried about him?

You bet I was. He's your friend.

- Go ahead. - Okay.

Shall we wrap up the party?

Yes, honey. I'm about to hail a taxi.

The party ended sooner than I thought.

Yes. Where shall we meet?

Shall we meet there for spicy braised monkfish?

Okay.

Let's mix soju and beer today.

Hang on.

(Chief No Ye Young)

Ye Young's calling.

I'll call you right back. Bye.

Hello, Ye Young. What's up?

Ms. Ha, I need your help.

Mr. Bae's saying he wants to quit.

- What? - Stay!

He's so upset that he didn't get promoted.

He won't even let me go home.

Oh, no, you don't. Are you insane?

He's saying he'll post all about you and the director...

- on our company website. - Seo Ju Won.

He wants to get back at Seo Ju Won and go down too.

What?

What's wrong with you?

Why are you climbing a tree?

Okay. I'll be right there.

The response is much better than we thought.

People are asking what you wore and what camera you used.

Good.

Aren't you hungry?

I want some hot soup.

How about kalguksu with Manila clams and geotjeori?

No. We're having dinner at your hotel.

You hired a Michelin chef from Italy and opened a new restaurant.

Your PR Team asked me to eat there.

Did they?

Okay. Let's go.

Okay.

What's the matter? Is he tired?

I could drive.

No, it's fine.

Okay. Thanks.

(On left-turn signal)

What got into you?

Let's eat kalguksu.

You need to take photos at the hotel.

I changed my mind.

There's a famous kalguksu place at the market nearby.

I think I posted enough for the day.

Let's eat in peace.

Shall we drink makgeolli too?

Well, I guess we could.

What's the point in working like mad?

- I can't reach the next level. - Goodness...

Ms. Ha.

- Why did you drink so much? - Hello.

Hey, did you call for a driver?

Yes, I did.

Do you need my help?

I can drive.

- And I'll never get promoted. - I apologize.

- I'm sorry. - Let's go. He's drunk.

What is the matter with you?

You don't get me, do you?

Because Ye Young... You got promoted!

Ms. Ha. Does this even make sense?

She never works and always shops, and she got promoted!

What? I don't always shop.

I worked really hard and shopped in my free time.

I was good at spotting trends and came up with all the ideas.

I got acknowledged for that.

I know that.

Darn it! I can't take it anymore!

I'm a skilled worker that even the Planning Team wants.

Is that my fault? Is it?

(Seo Ju Won)

I need to take the call. Sorry.

(Ox tripe, Pork Belly)

Hi.

Mr. Bae's very drunk.

He must be very distressed.

Why wasn't he promoted when he was eligible?

I didn't sign off on it.

Why? Mr. Bae seems like a slacker,

but you know how hard he works.

I know.

So I recommended him for the manager position.

What?

You insisted on leaving...

and that leaves a vacancy.

I was going to give him your job.

But no one knows you resigned.

I thought it would be okay if I told him a few days later.

So that's what happened. That's good to know.

I'll sort things out here. Don't worry too much.

Okay.

We can meet today, right?

You bet. Hang in there for me.

I will.

Enjoy your meal.

Gosh.

This is delicious. How do you know this place?

I'm in distribution and logistics and market research is a must.

Yes, that's right.

This is the first time I can relax and eat.

And it's my first time...

drinking makgeolli from a kettle like this.

It's so much fun. It's cute.

Then...

Take a photo.

Forget it.

Did you notice I haven't taken a photo here?

Didn't you?

I didn't. I want to so bad, but I'm holding back.

Because you look sick of taking photos.

I wasn't sick of it. Just hurt.

I'd gotten excited about our first date outdoors.

But you seemed to think of it only as work.

What? Do you like me?

What are you talking about?

You say all sorts of darned things.

Yes, I do. Am I drunk already?

Do you want another drink?

Yes, why not?

To tell the truth, I took lots of photos today...

because I thought you were enjoying it.

What?

You seemed to like posting on social media.

Our stock prices went up, and your mother seemed pleased too.

So I did all that thinking I was doing you a favor.

I went too far.

I must've had too much to drink.

Let's go home.

Wait up.

Excuse me. Coming through.

What do I do?

It sounds weird to say this when we're already married but...

I think...

I fell for you.

Hi, Mom.

Was I promoted?

Yes.

Of course.

I'll get a raise too.

Right now, I'm with...

my teammates who are celebrating with me.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Should I just tell him?

No, this is a personnel issue.

Ju Won should tell him.

Here you go.

Oh. Thank you.

What the heck?

Don't.

Darn you!

How dare you come here?

Did you come to laugh at my tear-stained face?

No. I came because I was concerned.

Concerned? You?

- I will... - Stop him.

give you some final advice.

You punk.

Don't mistreat people who work for you!

Stop it! That's enough!

I'm leaving soon,

and you'll replace me as manager.

What?

You tell him, sir.

I should've told you sooner,

but it was tied to Ms. Ha's resignation.

I didn't promote you so you could replace Ms. Ha after she left.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I'm sorry.

We're alone at last.

It was such a long, rough day.

It was.

I'd never waited for someone for this long in my life.

I think I spent the last few days doing nothing but wait.

I waited for an answer from you,

and for the day to see you again.

And for us to go on a date.

What shall we do?

I don't mind. Let's do what you want.

(Secretary Seo Dong Hwa)

We won't be disturbed again, will we?

I hope not?

Forget it. I just won't pick up.

What if something urgent came up at work?

Pick up.

Hello?

Oh, really?

Sorry for making you wait.

I'm done. Shall we go?

Is this where you've been staying?

Yes.

I'll move back home.

Don't worry.

I'm not worried.

I just feel bad.

I see...

you put up with a lot of things...

and struggled through stuff to be with me.

Thank you...

for waiting.

I thank you more...

for coming back.

I missed you.

I came to return the money you gave me.

You seem to be mistaken.

Now that I'm back with you, I'll go straight ahead.

- Ta-da. - My goodness.

Dear...

Who's calling you "dear?"

Are you sure this is for and about me?

I feel so very uncomfortable.

Do you have a first love? Well, so do I.

Someone I loved so deeply.

Isn't this jealousy?

Can't you just approve of us?

I want to be happy now.
