OUR UNWRITTEN SEOUL

The one with long hair? Not the short-haired one?

The one with long hair is Mi-ji.

Wait, is that Mi-rae?

-But you said you told Mi-ji-- -No, I didn't.

I said I told the girl next door.

So you didn't talk to Mi-ji about me?

I can't tell if it was Mi-ji or Mi-rae.

But that morning,

the one I asked to help you had long hair.

TO MI-JI

Don't worry, it's easy to get them mixed up.

Just get it right this time.

Who is it?

There are some creepy stories about identical beings.

"Doppelgängers,"

The Double,

The Man in the Iron Mask, and so on.

You'd think telling twins apart would be easy enough.

But without clues, it's harder than you think.

EPISODE 2 REVIEW AND REASSESS

-Excuse me. -Okay.

-How do I look? -Come on.

You didn't bleach your hair?

Let them think you dyed it. I had to cut it, you know?

Are you kidding? I got extensions.

What the…

When did you even write this manual thing?

While you were sleeping.

I just wrote down the bare minimum.

Didn't you say you were invisible? How's this the bare minimum?

Is there anything I should know before I go home?

Nope, you already know how I live.

Still, maybe some tips on how you act around certain people?

No one cares about me.

LEE HO-SU

BLOCK NUMBER

The bus hasn't left yet, right?

Bus eight leaves in five minutes.

Time to board!

The passcode is our birthday.

Gyeong-gu might call, but just ignore him.

Are you sure this is okay?

Oh, come on. This is about you being okay, remember?

Promise me you won't act up and that you'll lay low.

If you go around trying to fix my problems,

I won't let it slide.

Hey, you're back to the Mi-rae I know.

I'm waiting.

I promise. I'll just sit and keep quiet.

Happy?

Keep your word.

Okay, I get it.

Bye.

"Seriously, don't do anything."

Shoot.

Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come.

Today is yet unknown.

Let's go.

DAY ONE

Has this quarter's policy funding schedule been released?

Yes, applications open next week.

With the internal review period…

BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROW, TOGETHER IN FINANCE

KOREA FINANCE MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

We have a weekly meeting. Go as early as you can.

They don't tell me when it starts,

so watch and follow everyone else in.

I showed up an hour early, you jerks.

Hey.

Looks like nobody's here yet.

They're all in the meeting.

Oh…

Darn it.

What the heck?

Due to the rise in insolvent enterprises, the PDF…

If it's already started, just sneak in.

Try not to draw any attention.

This PDF will most likely end up just providing funding,

nothing… more…

Shoot.

-Ms. Yu. -Yes?

Back from sick leave?

Yes.

Sit.

Okay.

There won't be any seats. Just sit in a chair by the window.

Okay.

Coffee's… here.

Don't forget, you're invisible.

When they act like they can see you, it's just to get a reaction.

Even if it bothers you, don't react.

No, I'm good. Let Ms. Yu have mine.

I guess you forgot hers because she's been on sick leave.

Go ahead, drink up. You too.

Let's continue.

Yes…

So in conclusion, with the existing PDF we have…

There's a ton of jargon and acronyms in these meetings.

You won't understand much.

But they won't ask for your opinion, so just sit tight--

Senior Specialist Yu Mi-rae, what's your take?

What?

Didn't you take that seat so you could say something?

You're the most PC and morally upright person here,

so let's hear your thoughts on ESG management.

ESG…

Well, if you ask me, I think ESG management is

very important,

and…

there's definitely a lot of weight to it--

So, how should we set

those all-important ESG KPIs?

K, K-pop… K?

Oh, K!

K… K…

That's enough.

Why put her on the spot like that when we're short on time?

Anyway, it's good to hear your voice again, Ms. Yu.

-Yes. -Let's wrap up.

I can't believe you actually answered that.

You take everything so literally.

That's why you misunderstand people.

I just feel bad for Mr. Park.

He shouldn't have looked out for her.

Those bullies…

Ms. Yu. I mean, Mi-rae.

-That's Yu Mi-rae. -Why is she here?

She's got nerve.

-She did it. -She's so shameless.

-Right. It was her. -No way.

-She's brazen. -How funny.

Gosh!

Ms. Yu Mi-rae?

You…

You're back from Seoul…

Mom…

I mean…

Did you dye your hair?

What?

Yeah.

It looks way better.

Good God. It was hard to look at before!

You finally did the right thing.

It looks great. Let's go eat.

That was a nice surprise!

Did Mi-rae finish all the kimchi I sent?

No, she left quite a lot.

I don't think you need to send her food anymore.

She hardly eats at home, so it just sits there--

I know.

She's always been a picky eater.

You know that? Then why do you send it to her?

It's the only thing I can do to ease my guilt.

She sends me money every month.

The least I can do is send her some food.

So it's out of guilt?

Because you feel bad?

Jeez.

You wouldn't know guilt if it hit you.

I mean, gosh.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

-What do you mean? -Grandma's caregiver called.

She said she couldn't reach you.

She's out for a few days. Family stuff.

2 NEW MESSAGES

You'll go even if I tell you not to, right?

Go where?

The hospital. You'll visit Grandma, won't you?

I only have one condition.

Visit Grandma twice a week.

What? Grandma will know right away.

No excuses. Twice a week.

I'm busy.

Busy doing what? You're unemployed.

I have work.

Come to the strawberry farm by two o'clock.

Changhwa Farm.

I'd rather work on the farm than get caught right away.

START - END

3 KM, 48 MIN ON FOOT

What? Three kilometers?

Oh, no!

DUSON-RI SENIOR CENTER

GYEONG-GU MART

Hey, Mi-ji! Did you dye your hair?

Yu Mi-ji!

What's going on? Is she drunk?

Gosh, no!

That's not biking. That's a crime on wheels.

CHANGHWA FARM

Hi.

I'm Yu Mi-ji. I got your text.

DUSON-RI YOUTH ASSOCIATION

You were looking for some help?

Isn't this Changhwa Farm?

What's with this act?

We haven't seen each other in a while, and you pretend like we're strangers?

If you're that bored, tie these up.

Okay.

Very good.

You came to play along with a crazy guy for 200,000 won?

He's been talking about planting a new kind of strawberry

when the season's long gone.

What will you use after you've tilled?

Pipes or heating wires?

Pardon?

Quit the act. I mean for the temperature control.

Oh, temperature…

Why all the questions?

Tell me.

Why?

And you should be asking the owner about that stuff.

Did you get the text?

Oh, yes.

Is the owner in there?

He's right here.

There are three greenhouses, but we're only tilling this one for now.

There.

Everyone's into smart farming these days,

but we use traditional farming methods.

What does that mean?

We use soil?

Right.

You're pretty smart.

What else does it mean?

It's organic.

Maybe you heard from the Youth Association President,

but last year's harvest was a bust.

I listened to everyone in the village, and it all went sideways.

But now, I just need to listen to you, Mi-hee.

It's Mi-ji. Yu Mi-ji.

Sorry.

Anyway, now that we've got a veteran on board,

I'm going to run things my way this year.

We'll get things going at the end of the month.

That's all.

Then what should I do now?

Well, for now…

whatever you want, Min-ji.

Do what you think is best for the first week.

Aren't you expecting too much from a part-timer?

I hired a partner, not a part-timer.

If there's nothing to do, you can just relax.

You'll get paid daily after work.

Oh! You can set your own hours.

Good luck!

Jeez.

This "abuse of power" crap.

Now I can't even breathe without being accused of abuse.

Legally speaking, it was more than just breathing.

Our priority should be to avoid a lawsuit,

so let's try to settle first.

Settle?

No way.

You charge twice as much as other lawyers,

and your brilliant idea is to just pay him off?

It's best to offer something now,

or it'll end up costing a lot more down the road.

Don't give him a dime. Just win!

I'd like that too,

but you're still on probation.

You said it was just a few hits, so I assumed it was nothing serious.

But you broke both his legs and expect it to just go away?

Jeez.

Just because you're both damaged goods,

you're covering for him?

What's your problem?

It was June 15, 2020.

What was?

Mr. Kim Seung-yong

got his license suspended for 100 days for DUI.

And he interviewed for the driver job on September 15, 2020.

Wait, then…

While his license was still suspended…

he started working as your driver.

We might be able to win this without offering any payment.

Get that settlement or whatever it is done.

Don't drag it out to squeeze more money out of me.

The less he gets, the more you earn your keep. Got it?

We earn our keep by keeping you out of jail, sir.

What?

If the fees are too much,

I'd be happy to refer you to another lawyer.

They are all good at what they do.

Please take care.

Gosh, for someone who's loaded,

he never stops complaining about having to pay.

I'm sorry.

What for?

For not telling you sooner.

I found evidence that his license was suspended,

but I wasn't sure whether to say anything.

And you said it

because you felt sorry for me over the "damaged goods" comment?

Not at all. If anything, I…

I wasn't trying to undermine anyone's capability due to a disability--

Ho-su.

What do you say in situations like this?

I… just wanted to win.

There you go.

Come on, I'll whip up something good.

What was it again?

I've uploaded the draft of the Yeongho Holdings opinion letter

and the Derma Beauty equity report.

For the Eco Energy industrial accident case,

I'll go with the ministry's interpretation.

Good. Refer to the Jinsu Group case.

All done.

Bottoms up.

Is this safe to drink?

You don't know Buzz Boost?

Back in college, people used to pay me for it.

They all passed the bar.

Their health took a hit, though.

Now I'm wide awake.

Let me…

You are going to KFMC this week, right?

Yes, for the advisory meeting.

By the way, about the whistleblowing case…

You can drop that.

It's been handled.

Already? I haven't started investigating.

YU MI-RAE

Looks like they took care of it internally.

What?

Are you worried because she was a classmate?

No, not at all.

Good.

Overthinking only gets in the way in this job.

Understood?

I'll head out first--

Don't say goodbye.

She's acting odd today, right?

YOUR PARTNER TO SUCCESS HANJIN BANK

200,000 WON

Sorry, but I can't keep working like this…

Made it through the day.

How was everything?

Too easy.

What if it's really easy,

and I'm just not cut out for it?

SORRY, BUT…

Of course it's too easy. All I do is sit.

Gosh, I could do this for a year.

DAY TWO

BUILDING AN OPEN-SOURCE AI SYSTEM IN FINANCE

Mi-rim.

Shoot.

What do you want for lunch?

You don't want to talk?

DAY THREE

DAY FOUR

-What's the cafeteria menu? -Army stew.

A WEEK LATER

-Is that it? -Can't we go out for meat?

-That sounds great. -To a restaurant?

Gosh.

This is brutal.

How did Mi-rae survive this?

My whole body's stiff.

Gosh.

-Feeling uncomfortable? -Not at all.

Must be tough for a hotshot to sit around doing nothing.

-No. -Come on.

It's written all over your face.

If you'd like, I could give you a simple task.

Actually, no.

With the way things are these days,

I'll just get blamed later for sending someone out.

Forget I said anything.

Sending me out, you said?

You heard our team's handling the new HQ site, right?

It's a confidential project, so we're keeping the team small,

but progress is slow.

If I give the busy ones more work,

something's bound to fall through.

Director Choi, just give me a little more time.

Why trust Yu Mi-rae with--

Mr. Shin.

What if Ms. Yu files a complaint about being sidelined?

PLANNING COORDINATION DEPT. DIRECTOR CHOI TAE-GWAN

Choose wisely.

By accepting confidential information, you're implicitly agreeing.

If you're uncertain, it might be better to just stay put.

You saw the internal email, right?

Performance reviews are much stricter this year,

so you'll have to work hard.

I'm sure you'll manage.

You can go.

Okay.

RECRUITING FOR EXTERNAL BRANCH POSITIONS

Did you see the opening at the Childal branch?

Again?

Didn't someone from accounting get sent there last month?

That one didn't last a month?

Apparently, the assignments will be based on performance reviews.

Jeez, is this Russian roulette or what?

Wait, you got that job?

Guess you're off to Childal now.

What?

CONFIDENTIAL

CHILDAL BRANCH: ONE POSITION

SELECTED BY PERFORMANCE REVIEW IF NO ONE APPLIES

Childal?

We've nearly secured all the land,

but there's one prime spot still.

It's registered as Rosa Restaurant, but there's no sign, so it's hard to find.

ROSA RESTAURANT

She's a stubborn old lady.

For now, just hand her the proposal.

I know how to handle older folks.

CHICKEN GIBLET STEW

Oh, hello.

-Do you know the owner… -I swear!

I only had one shot. Just one!

That is one shot too many.

What are you doing? You guys get out too.

Hey, not us! He drank it all by himself.

You little…

Fine, I'll leave.

Screw this place.

Don't expect me to come back.

-What the-- -Jeez!

No wonder he got kicked out.

Hey!

What?

Do you serve solo diners?

No, I don't.

Then I'll order for two.

Perfect timing! Make that two. I'll eat with her.

-Let's share a table. -What?

Oh.

NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED

You can't order two servings if you're alone.

It's not just about the portion. That's just the rule here.

And they only serve chicken giblet stew, so don't bother asking for anything else.

You saw the sign earlier, right? No alcohol allowed.

No takeout and no delivery either.

-Don't stare at her. -Sorry?

You'll get yelled at if you make eye contact.

Anyway, this works out.

I've been waiting over 30 minutes hoping someone would share a table.

My friend couldn't make it.

Isn't that too much hassle?

You'll understand once you try it.

Here it comes.

Go on, try it.

Wow.

So that's what it tastes like.

Here, let me serve you some.

-See you. -Okay.

Ma'am.

That was amazing.

I'd never had chicken giblet stew before,

but it's so delicious, and there's no weird smell at all.

Thank you.

I was so busy eating that I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Yu Mi-rae from Korea Finance Management Corporation.

You got a call from us a while back, correct?

About the new HQ site.

So today,

I just wanted to hand over some documents and explain…

All right… Should we talk outside?

Ma'am, this is the exit…

Wait. Just a moment.

I'm just here to drop off the paperwork…

I'm not selling, so don't come back.

Hey!

There.

Thank you.

I've been here a week today.

Already?

Wow, time flies.

Since the probation period is over,

could you let me know if you plan to give me some work,

or if you'd prefer I leave?

One more week.

Pardon?

Do whatever you want for another week.

-But… -What do you think?

Does this look like a sweet potato or a potato?

I really want a potato right now.

What should I do? Jeez.

She listed all the snacks in the break room,

but nothing about how to persuade property owners?

Darn it.

What is this?

She prepared all this too?

Gosh, I should've read this earlier.

What the heck?

Team Leader Shin Gyeong-min.

He's married.

He's probably the most annoying, but basically a puppet of the number one.

He's number two on my stay-away list.

He's number two?

-Then who's number one? -Director Choi Tae-gwan.

Director Choi Tae-gwan.

I guess you forgot hers because she's been on sick leave.

Go ahead, drink up.

Must be tough for a hotshot to sit around doing nothing.

Choose wisely.

By accepting confidential information, you're implicitly agreeing.

Don't be fooled by his kindness. He's number one on the stay-away list.

Damn it. Was it all a setup?

What do I do now?

HOW TO CONVINCE LANDOWNERS

Jeez, please.

HOW TO WIN OVER LANDOWNERS FOR REDEVELOPMENT

Mi-ji, calm down. It's not over yet.

Just pull yourself together and let's make this happen.

MESSAGE FROM MI-JI

Oh my gosh! What the…

Is she watching me?

That scared me.

What?

What do you do during the farming off-season?

Off-season?

I just chill.

DAY EIGHT

Ma'am, I'm sorry. Wait!

I…

Oh my!

False alarm.

Is everything okay?

Of course.

DAY NINE

Ma'am, please…

Ma'am, please!

Salt. Salt. Salt.

All good?

Yes.

DAY TEN

I told you not to come back!

Wait, ma'am.

I heard Childal is trending these days.

Don't send me this crap.

Shit.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Please take a look just once, ma'am.

Okay, fine.

I'll go now.

I'm leaving.

TO BE DEMOLISHED

What do I do?

That wraps up the administrative sanction case.

Oh, about that whistleblowing case I was on as an external investigator,

I heard it was closed.

Can I ask what the outcome was?

No special measures were taken.

The employee withdrew the complaint.

Did she say why?

I'm not sure, but she withdrew it as soon as the investigation began.

Maybe she was afraid of a false accusation charge.

Who's "she"?

Yu Mi-rae, right?

Mi-yeong.

Have you seen the chair that was over there covered in tape?

The broken one?

Have you seen it?

I took it out this morning with the trash.

Weren't you going to throw it away?

Why would you…

Why did you do something I didn't tell you to?

Because you don't ask for anything.

-You said to take initiative. -I didn't mean cleaning, you know?

You're dodging the issue.

I hired a business partner, not a janitor.

A business partner is someone who works with you.

You really know your words.

It's like talking to a dictionary.

If it's about the chair,

I'll buy a new one tomorrow.

You were just insincere.

When I had an office job,

I saw people submitting empty résumés like yours.

And they were either insincere or fearless.

I was advised not to hire them, but I always did.

Because fearless people are rare.

Then I'd watch them for a week without assigning anything.

You can see who's a hit and who's a miss.

Fear of messing up keeps some people from trying new things.

They can't stick it out till the end.

I hired you because I thought you were fearless, Mi-yeong.

But you're a miss.

It's not "Mi-yeong." I'm Mi-ji.

You don't even know my name.

Why do you talk like you know all about me?

Watching someone without assigning them work

isn't some brilliant strategy.

That's just bullying.

You say I can do whatever I want,

but you just leave me hanging and judge me however you like.

It's like playing with a bug,

pulling off its legs just to see how long it lasts.

You really find that fun? Why are you so cruel?

How could you treat someone like that?

Pardon?

I mean…

What… What happened?

What is it? What's wrong?

What happened?

Why are you lying there?

I should've stayed seated facing the wall.

Why did I have to take the bait?

Should I just come clean to Mi-rae?

Get it together, you dummy.

Stop trying to pass the buck and clean up your mess.

There's still salt on me.

Mi-rae?

Lee Ho-su? Why is he here?

What?

What do you mean… I mean, what about you?

What about me?

Why aren't you answering my calls after disappearing and making me worry?

Did you block me?

-The person you're calling is unavailable. -No, I didn't…

Please try again later.

So what?

Do I have to answer every time you call?

Gosh.

What happened…

with the whistleblowing case?

How do you know about that? Are you checking up on me?

You don't remember seeing me?

As an external investigator?

Look, what's your point?

If you have something to say, text me. I have to go.

Your office is that way.

Darn it.

Can we talk?

I'd rather not put this in writing.

Then talk.

We can't discuss this near the office…

Hey, Yu Mi-rae!

What's running away going to solve?

This is about you. Let's at least talk about it.

Come on, make time.

Anything more would be a hassle, even for me.

Fine, let's meet this weekend.

Saturday night?

We can decide where later.

What? Ho-su?

Don't tell me you made plans with him.

He just wants to talk for a bit.

It'd be weird to flat-out refuse.

But did you run into him?

He said something about being an external investigator earlier.

Don't meet him.

What if he figures it out?

He won't. He still thinks I'm you.

Don't you remember back in high school?

Who is it?

He knew exactly who was who even with towels on our heads.

TO MI-JI

Who are you?

Are you really Mi-ji?

He can't tell.

Even if he suspects, we know how to shut him up.

What was it… absorbed-self…

-Self-absorbed. -Right.

Just listen to me. Don't meet him.

We promised not to interfere in each other's lives.

But you know…

some things could happen

that force us to get involved in each other's lives.

Like an accident or a disaster.

Did you do something?

No!

I didn't do anything, I swear. Honestly, I just…

want to do something. Anything.

Look, don't meet him.

I don't want you to see him as me.

Okay?

-Answer me. -Okay.

I said okay. I'm hanging up.

Jeez, what do I do?

Seeing Ho-su is enough to freak her out.

If she finds out what I did…

Oh, man!

What do I do?

Saturday at Gwanghwamun?

Sorry, but…

I ran into Mi-rae recently.

And it seemed like she was having a hard time.

What's running away going to solve?

This is about you. Let's at least talk about it.

YU MI-RAE SATURDAY AT GWANGHWAMUN?

Does she still have me blocked?

Unbelievable…

Mi-rae.

Gosh!

No, this isn't right.

Who meets up near the office on a weekend?

Then where?

Where?

There are a million places to go.

Namsan? Absolutely.

Hongdae? Definitely.

Hit Gwanghwamun, then loop Samcheong-dong and Insa-dong.

And at night, you have to see the Rainbow Fountain at the Hangang River.

Hey, Seoul mouse.

Recommend something local.

What's your favorite spot in Seoul?

I feel like there's nothing to see in Seoul.

Nothing? Come on.

This whole book is about Seoul.

Here.

Check off everywhere you haven't been.

Why?

We'll see each other in Seoul anyway.

It's more fun if we meet somewhere neither of us has been.

It'll be like stepping on fresh snow.

Why aren't you going home?

No one's home.

Everyone's in Seoul.

Then…

you should've gone with them instead of reading this.

Later.

I'll go later.

For my family, Seoul is just where Mi-rae's hospital is.

Also, I'm waiting for you right now.

You've been going over the wrong answers for hours.

Wrap it up already!

Welcome!

We only have bar seats left. Is that okay?

Yes!

This way, please.

Gosh, we barely made it in.

I guess all the restaurants are booked on weekends.

Yeah, I haven't eaten yet either.

What?

Here are your menus.

They have set menus for…

What?

Did I do something wrong? What's up?

You said you had something to say.

This doesn't feel like the right place for a serious talk.

Are you trying to be considerate right now?

You're not the only one who hates noise.

You really are self-absorbed.

I was just asking.

Where do we go, then?

Every restaurant around here is packed.

You don't mind walking for ten minutes, do you?

Wow!

Oh my God.

Gosh.

It's beautiful.

Okay, selfie time.

What?

Is this your first time seeing the Hangang River or something?

Are you kidding?

I'm a Seoulite. How can this be my first?

Then why are you so obsessed with it if you see it all the time?

It's not the same as seeing it from the subway.

Now that you mention it…

it has been ages since I've been here.

See? Stop working all the time and enjoy things like this sometimes.

So…

what are we supposed to eat here?

Isn't it obvious? It's the Hangang River.

By the Hangang River…

you eat ramyeon.

Not cup ramyeon though.

It has to be the one made with the ramyeon cooker.

Isn't it all just the same?

Are you kidding? You use packaged ramyeon with the cooker.

The noodles are different. And no cook-in-the-bag method.

You've got to use the cooker. It's the whole vibe.

Everything's a whole vibe to you.

Jeez. You'll get it once you taste it.

How is it? It's different, right?

I told you.

You're right.

No wonder Mi-ji kept raving about Hangang River ramyeon.

So, what did you want to talk about?

Eat first. We'll talk after.

Why are you dragging it out? Just say it.

Did you drop the case…

because of me?

What do you mean "because of you"?

That day…

I didn't expect to run into you.

INTERNAL REPORT INVESTIGATION

You know how it works at your company…

When someone blows the whistle, our firm steps in to investigate.

It just so happened

that I was sent in to cover for my supervising attorney that day.

Sorry I'm late.

So what exactly was "because of you"?

In cases like this,

when it's about sexual misconduct,

sometimes the victim drops the case

because they're worried about rumors spreading.

I don't know any of the details, so don't worry.

Once I knew it was you, I didn't even look at the files.

Are we talking about Director Choi?

Director Choi?

I thought it was Lead Specialist Park Sang-yeong.

I just feel bad for Mr. Park.

He shouldn't have looked out for her.

Mi-rae. Did something else happen?

If you dropped the case because of me…

then let's figure something out.

The internal process may be over, but you might have a strong case in court.

We promised not to interfere in each other's lives.

I know lawyers who specialize in this…

Ho-su.

You haven't changed at all.

-What? -The world doesn't revolve around you.

Why would I drop it because of you? I decided for my own reasons.

I mean, you avoided me as soon as you saw me that day.

That's exactly what I mean by self-absorbed.

Why would I avoid you?

I'm swamped with this new project and don't have time for anything else.

That's why I dropped it. Don't flatter yourself.

So was it…

really all in my head?

Of course it was.

Your supervising attorney doesn't know our history.

He just sent you to cover him, right?

What? Are you worried because she was a classmate?

It was just a crazy coincidence.

Wasn't it?

You're right.

I don't think he sent me on purpose.

You made all that fuss over this?

Gosh.

How are you even a lawyer when you're this soft?

You probably work for free half the time, don't you?

You clearly don't know me.

I've changed.

And yet you're here with me on a weekend?

You're still the same.

Once something gets stuck in your mind, you can never let it go.

You get all fidgety, like a kid with a pebble in his shoe.

I do?

Yes, you. Who else?

Whatever. Just eat.

Why are you two still here?

I'm waiting for Ho-su to finish his review.

What? He got a perfect score.

Go home already!

What's up with you?

You didn't get anything wrong.

There were a few…

I just guessed on.

Whether the pebble in his shoe was the question he guessed on

or me,

I still don't know.

Are you done? Let's get going.

Aren't you heading back to work?

The fountain's about to go off.

What are you, a kid? What's so great about a fountain?

I thought you wanted to see it.

That must've been Mi-ji.

You said it too. Don't you remember?

When we came to Seoul for that mock exam.

You remember the weirdest things.

Hey, throw this away.

Okay.

I'll take it.

Why are you here at this hour?

Do I need a reason to visit?

It works just fine.

Why'd you do that?

Do what?

You really thought I wouldn't notice if you didn't say anything?

Pardon?

Jeez.

You were riding drunk, weren't you?

Drunk biking is serious!

If your mom finds out, you're dead.

Come on, I wasn't drunk.

Are you saying you were sober when you fell off your bike?

Does that make any sense? You can ride without your hands or feet!

Earlier, you were wobbling around

like you were wasted.

-It wasn't drunk biking. -Yes, it was.

What the heck?

You seem off. Even your hair's different.

What's going on? Just talk to me.

Even the old folks in the neighborhood are worried,

asking what's going on with Yu Candy.

"Yu Can…"

"You can do it?"

Candy. The one from the anime. She's sad, but strong.

I see.

Why is everyone so worried? I'm fine.

The Youth Association President noticed.

He said you looked miserable yesterday, just moping around.

How could I smile when I busted my knee and there was blood everywhere?

But that's what you do.

Even when you got your wisdom tooth pulled out,

you were grinning like the Joker.

How can anyone be cheerful 24/7?

Exactly.

That's my point.

You're always abnormally cheerful.

That's why you're Yu Candy.

I haven't seen you so drained since graduation.

Really?

Yeah.

See you.

Hey, I just got home.

It's the weekend. What took you so long?

I went to see the Hangang River by myself.

Hey, by any chance…

do you have anything you want to say to me?

What do you mean?

Just…

Have you ever wanted to see the Rainbow Fountain?

The Rainbow Fountain?

I think so, maybe.

You used to talk about it all the time.

Why?

No reason. I don't think we ever talked about it before.

Anyway.

Okay.

Do you know your door's broken?

Right. It doesn't close, does it?

If it bothers you, just change the doorknob.

Are you…

still having a hard time?

What?

I mean, I always left my door open anyway.

You know that's not what I meant.

Come on. I'm Yu Candy.

Why would I be having a hard time?

Gosh, who's worrying about who here?

Mi-rae, worry about yourself.

-Mi-ji, you-- -Oh, right.

Your heels are too high.

My feet got blisters on the back, and they bled. It was a mess.

Don't yours ever hurt?

I've worn them enough that I've got calluses now.

Why? Did they hurt that much?

No, I'll get used to it soon enough.

We've got the same feet, after all.

I suppose. We are the same.

Okay.

Anyway, get some sleep. I'll call soon.

-Okay. -All right.

CALL ENDED MI-JI

We're more alike than anyone…

CALL ENDED MI-RAE

…so why did I always think you were my opposite?

I'm not sure who I was trying to be.

Why…

did I think I knew you?

What are you doing?

Just breathing. Why?

I heard you don't work on the farm anymore.

I'm going to the bank, so take care of Grandma today.

Wash up and go to the hospital.

Wait, Mom…

Mi-ji, you're here.

You didn't come last week. Were you sick?

-No, I was busy with work. -I see.

Grandma, sit up and look who's here.

You always tell her not to come, but you miss her when she's not here.

Who's that over there?

FALL RISK BED REST ONLY

Mi-ji.

That's right.

Now that Mi-ji's here, let's get you dolled up.

I'll get some water to wash you up.

Let me.

-I'll do it. -No, it's okay.

I got it.

Here's the draft for Chairman Choi's settlement.

I wrote it up, but…

I'm worried it might be a bit much.

Right, it's probably best to revise it.

Go for no compensation.

Pardon?

Once the suspended license was mentioned, the victim gave in.

All that's left is a signature.

Thanks to you, it all worked out.

But there was real damage done. There should be some compensation…

You're overthinking it again.

Our client is Chairman Choi, remember?

You did great, so why the long face?

Let's go.

That cheapskate Chairman Choi is treating us to something fancy tonight.

I'm good, actually.

He likes you.

The guy may be a pain, but getting to know him won't hurt you.

Might as well make a good impression.

-Mr. Lee. -Yes?

How did you know the whistleblower was my classmate?

I read the case file.

Your high school has a unique name. Duson High.

Did you send me on purpose

because she was my classmate?

Of course I did.

-Really? -Yes.

To get her to drop the case.

It's best to wrap things up quickly.

If you're asking for the deeper reason,

our client is the company, not the employee.

They just got a new CEO, so they're sensitive about the media.

Don't take it too personally.

It's like Chairman Choi's case.

Sure, the victim feels wronged, and the perpetrator's in the wrong.

But winning comes first.

That's our job.

Once something gets stuck in your mind, you can never let it go.

You get all fidgety, like a kid with a pebble in his shoe.

You ready?

Chairman Choi has sent a car.

I'm…

not going.

What?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Good work today. Go get some rest.

You're not sick or anything, are you?

Have you ever seen me get sick?

I'm always fit as a fiddle.

Was it tough for you in Seoul?

Why would it be? I just took some food to Mi-rae.

Mi-rae.

You knew?

Even though I'm counting my days,

I'll still recognize you, Mi-rae.

Aren't you going to ask why I'm here?

What's the point?

I bet you kept it all in, barely hung on,

until you couldn't anymore.

No.

I couldn't hang on.

I ran away, Grandma.

Good for you.

You did well, Mi-rae.

You did the right thing.

-Grandma. -You did well.

You still haven't delivered the documents?

Do you go there to hang out?

The landlord can be quite difficult…

Didn't you know that beforehand?

You were the one who volunteered and took the job.

Then you should've followed through, Ms. Yu Mi-rae.

I won't say more.

You'll be taking full responsibility anyway.

Go.

Take this with you!

Shit.

Hello, ma'am.

Ma'am.

Could you hear me out just for a second before you throw salt at me?

Seriously.

Ma'am, then I will…

leave the documents here.

Just read the proposal, please…

Ma'am!

Jeez.

What did I ever do to deserve this?

Am I not a person? Did I break the law?

I'm just doing my job.

Just like you chop green onions and clean giblets,

I'm just doing my job too.

We're both trying to make a living here. You don't have to treat me like this.

I'm not asking you to sell or sign anything.

I just want you to read these documents.

That's not such a terrible thing for you to ruin my livelihood over!

Are you done?

Yes.

What is this feeling?

I clearly messed everything up.

But somehow, it's easier to breathe.

For the first time in forever,

I feel like I've taken off an invisible mask.

What?

You're here.

What is it? Do you have more to say?

I want to say sorry.

Sorry?

That time I got sent to your company… It wasn't a coincidence.

My supervising attorney knew we were classmates and sent me on purpose.

Well, it's all in the past now,

and you didn't know either.

Even if you didn't drop the case just because of me,

since I was sent with that intention, I still feel responsible.

What's done is done,

but if you ever need help, I'll do whatever I can.

Is that why you called me all the way out here?

Don't you need to go back to work?

I'm done for today.

Thanks to you.

What do you mean?

Honestly…

sometimes this job

made me feel uneasy.

And every time I felt uneasy, I thought I was in the wrong.

So I kept trying to change myself.

But you said…

when something gets stuck in my mind,

I act like a kid with a pebble in his shoe.

That's when I realized.

Well…

I wasn't wrong. I'd just forgotten who I was.

Sounds ridiculous, right?

How do you forget yourself?

But I did. All this time.

So now,

I'm going to start retracing my steps.

See what else I've forgotten.

Some people revisit the test they got a perfect score on.

All this time, I thought I knew myself and Mi-rae,

but I was just guessing, fooling myself into thinking I knew.

There's more to it than just getting the right answer.

CHANGHWA FARM YIELD INCREASE PLAN AND ANNUAL SCHEDULE

You only truly understand some things after getting them wrong.

Now that I know what I got wrong,

maybe someday I'll get it right.

What?

Nothing.

I was wondering if I'd get better

if I reviewed my mistakes.

Hello?

Be here by ten o'clock tomorrow.

Pardon?

You want to be treated like a person? Then be here by 10:00.

Did something good happen?

What?

No, I'm not sure yet.

Gosh, the Hangang River is amazing.

Aren't you hungry? Want to get some ramyeon?

Wait, what time's the fountain show?

Should we eat after watching it?

No, maybe we should wait until sunset…

Mi-ji.

You're Mi-ji, aren't you?

YU MI-JI

When did you do this? You've pulled yourself together.

Right.

Why are you playing so hard to get?

That's enough. She said it's fine.

Do you have a lawyer mode?

-What? -You should keep talking like that.

It's cool.

Over here.

Mi-rae. It's been such a long time. How have you been?

Oh. Hey, Ji-yun.

How about a meeting with the owner next week?

Pardon?

This is my specialty.

What are you doing?

Don't ever come back here. I'm not selling my land.
