[Four Years Later]

Eighth Feeling

These are your co-workers.

It seems quite hectic.

Let's introduce you first.

Mr. Kim. This is Han Hyun.

I recruited him from Merrill Lynch.

I've heard a lot about you. I'm Kim Beom Jin.

I'm Han Hyun. I look forward to working with you.

Merrill Lynch is a good firm.

Kim Beom Jin spent a lot of time in the States too.

He was with the Morgan Group for two years.

That's a good place.

What's the situation now?

The situation?

Right now SBC's asking price has gone down an eighth.

Should we track it?

It's good for SBC, but wouldn't it be better for us to act now?

Isn't that risky?

If we lose this time, we're out.

No. Put it on number 16.

Will you take responsibility for this?

Sure, I will.

Okay.

It's calling.

Put in 5 million dollars.

Done.

How much did we make?

35,000 dollars.

This guy earns his yearly salary the moment he steps in.

Where's my desk, Senior?

Have a look.

Do you have Choi Ki Jun's album?

This is music for Generation X.

Try this one.

- How much is it? - 2,000 won.

Give us a discount.

How can I give you a discount on 2,000 won?

Can I exchange it?

Buy another one.

Come again!

This one? It's 4,000 won, but I'll give it to you for 3,000.

Do we get orders for this?

Yes. It's a popular item.

This came out.

Last week.

It looks nice.

Did anything happen?

Nothing special, but I don't think the marketing side and the designers get along.

Why don't they?

Why does things like this happen whenever I'm away on business?

What do you do around here? Just lots of problems here and there.

At times like this, you feel bitter against Bin, don't you?

Yes, I do.

But it's still nice to see him working hard to do things well on his own.

It seems Hyun should have arrived. Why hasn't he?

I don't know, I haven't even had a call.

It would be nice if he came back today, since it's your birthday tomorrow.

What? My birthday's tomorrow?

You didn't know?

I don't pay attention to observing those things now.

Sorry. Did you wait long?

Did it go well?

I'm not sure.

Did they decide on designs?

They picked one, but it's nothing special.

How closely can we keep the style?

We can't take anything away from the construction.

I think they'll be swayed by offering as much discount as we can on the design fee.

I think that even if we alter measurements, we have to lower costs.

We can't. That means we'd have to change the design concept.

If we do that, it's no different from what everyone else does.

Even if we can't get this account, I can't give in anymore.

We're in trouble.

He can't give in a little even when we need the money.

We don't need to do it immediately. Let's wait it out.

Nothing's been decided yet anyway.

Still, we have to get this job.

Get the job first, and there are ten chain businesses. How great is that?

It'll work out.

Don't worry too much.

I'm not worrying, I'm just frustrated.

Why do Koreans only like cheap things?

Relax. I'll buy the beer later.

You're going to become an alcoholic.

What?

If we drink tonight, don't you know it's the third day in a row?

How does drinking one beer make me an alcoholic?

Are you going to drink everyday even after you're married?

I don't know, I suppose it could happen if I get stressed out every day.

I'll have to reconsider marrying you, then.

What?

Nothing.

Why are there suddenly no customers?

Welcome.

Hello.

Is there anything worth listening to?

Of course. Look here.

That's good.

Isn't this a reproduction?

What do you mean?

It is.

No, it's not.

But who said you could do your business here?

What?

Take these and go while I ask nicely.

Before I bust them all up.

Who are you?

We heard there was someone conducting illegal business.

Clear this away.

Clear out, before I wreck them.

Are you from the North?

The North? This guy doesn't understand us.

If we've told you to go, you should go.

What's your problem?

You jerks! You think I'm doing business for your sake?

That's true. Hyun, we have high hopes for you.

You seem to have a precise personality.

It's more that I like things to be precise.

How long were you with Merrill Lynch?

A year.

And your MBA?

U Penn.

Then your salary must've been over 70 thousand.

You must've had a hard time coming here as I did.

We'll have to see about that.

It's already business hours in Europe.

Drink quickly and let's go.

You must be busy these days. You're working late every night.

Mom, you must not be very busy, since you're home early today.

You. I just got back today from my business trip.

Is that right?

It looks like you're still tired.

It's because I didn't get much sleep.

How are things with this one? Is it a big account?

A bit. It's an Auto Care Center.

I see. That's something you haven't done before.

Yes, last year we did designs for the interior of an auto store, but this is the first at such a large scale.

Has construction begun yet?

Not yet. We've drawn up the design, but we haven't received the official order.

They're deciding next week.

I'm sure you'll get it.

You guys have become famous after that magazine article calling you new designers.

That hasn't been much help. People just think we're ripping them off.

We keep fighting over costs.

Earning money isn't easy.

Bin, since you promised you'd do well on your own, you have to make me proud.

Don't worry.

You believe in us, don't you, Mother?

Yes, I believe in you.

I trust you too much, I'm just worried.

Take a look at this. This is a best seller.

This is the most popular here.

Try this one. Miss! Miss!

Hey, Sir.

When did you get here?

Finally done!

Be careful going home.

We'll see you tomorrow, Mother.

Yes.

I'll be right back.

Bin looks tired. Send him home early tonight, okay?

Yes, I will.

Mom, how old am I?

Bye.

Bye.

Lately, has your mother stopped asking you to join her business?

She must've gotten tired of asking, since I've been so stubborn.

If you think about it, it could've been better if you did join her business.

Why?

Your mother wants it, and you're having a hard time.

It could've been easier for you.

Maybe so. But I like things now.

I'm not dependent on someone else, and we're doing as much as we can with our own strength.

Be strong. You can do it.

You have a way of making people feel comfortable.

So sometimes I even forget you're a woman.

That again.

Don't you know how to talk nicely?

That means I really like you.

Like good friends, right?

Of course. You know that.

How's everything these days?

Not bad. It's kind of fun.

But I think I'll have to try something else.

Why?

Because trouble keeps popping up.

Even thugs come around these days and pick fights.

No work is easy.

You had it easy.

Don't say that. Do you know how much work goes into prepping for a fashion show?

Don't make me laugh. Compared to me, you're a high-class gentleman.

Then come work for my company. Event planning is hard work, but it's interesting.

No way. Don't you know that I hate using my brain?

Do you want to have another drink somewhere else?

No, let's go shopping. Pick out some clothes, look around.

Should we?

Good morning.

Hello.

Hey.

- Sir, you're here. - You're here early.

Did you stay here all night?

Yes. I had some things to look at.

You're really something.

Let's talk in your office.

Sure. Come in.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Are you going out?

I have to go, but I should be back by lunchtime.

- Eat up. - Okay.

Hey, it's seaweed soup (traditional birthday food).

Is Joon awake?

No, he went to the early-morning market, so he's still sleeping.

I see.

What are you doing later today?

Today's going to be a busy day.

Why?

It's nothing.

Yes.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Let's have lunch together with all the employees.

Yes.

What did the kids buy you this year?

We made plans to meet in the evening.

They're all busy, so we couldn't eat breakfast together.

But still.

I suppose it would've been different if Hyun were home.

Here.

See you later.

Sure.

It's hot, isn't it?

How much is this?

Welcome.

Stay, Sebastian.

Joon!

You're here?

I'm frazzled.

Where's Hye Rin?

Restroom.

What's all this?

We made sure to bring them.

What for?

What do you mean? It's your mother's birthday today.

What?

Why were you so late?

What's wrong? Did something happen?

It's not that.

I've got to do something. Come with me.

Where?

Follow me and you'll find out.

Dong Wook, sorry.

You try to get them to buy more. But they always make things difficult.

You're fine as it is. How can you change your fate?

How many have you sold?

Some here and there. I'm just getting by.

What about you?

Same here.

What else is there to running this kind of business?

I should get one of these setups myself, but it's expensive.

That's what it's like in good locations.

You get to look at pretty girls all day, you should have to pay for it somehow.

Why aren't there any customers?

It's because it's hot.

Who'd wear sneakers in the summer, when it's sweaty?

Hyung, you and your shoe store.

What's wrong with a shoe store?

Beauty and art communicate to everyone.

Yeah, I'm just selling tapes myself.

You should try working your service angle, like me.

Be kind and friendly to your customers. With cheap prices.

Give it to them cheaper than they ask for.

And you still have no customers.

I told you, it's because of the weather.

From this month,

I'm going to remember my customers' birthdates and send them birthday cards.

Really?

Of course.

That's a good idea.

Give them something small so they remember you.

That's the idea.

Wait.

What's today's date?

The eleventh.

The eleventh?

Yeah.

Hey. I've got to go.

Sebastian, bye.

Hey, Joon!

Are you going home?

Yes.

You won't need me for anything, right?

Why are you going home so early?

Right, you said you were meeting the kids.

Yes. Work hard, I'm going.

Yes.

- Who is it? - Me.

What are you doing?

Happy birthday!

Mother, happy birthday.

I'm sorry for this morning, I was so distracted.

I gave him a good scolding.

I got a good scolding.

Now that I'm getting old, you're taking me too lightly.

I won't do it again.

Mother, happy birthday.

This is mine.

Here's mine.

Why did you buy me something?

We have to light the candles.

Mom!

Dear Mother, I sincerely congratulate you and offer you my birthday wishes.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, I forgot.

No, I feel wonderful today.

It would've been nice if Hyun hyung were here.

He should be here soon, but I haven't heard from him.

I called his house in the States, but he didn't pick up.

He'll come soon enough.

For now, let's eat.

Yes.

Mom, you have to blow these out all at once.

Okay.

Wait!

We should sing.

Start.

Happy birthday to you...

To our loving Mother...

Happy birthday to you...

Excuse me.

Hyun.

It looks like some things have changed inside the house, but the keys are still the same.

So what happened?

Here.

Bin hyung, aren't you overdoing it?

This much is normal.

Here, Mom.

I'm living in luxury today.

We treat you like this everyday.

Sure.

But Hyun.

Is your work more important than your mother who's waited for you for four years?

How can you go straight to the office without calling home?

I wanted to return quietly.

But I hurried to make it back in time for your birthday.

Still, you went too far.

It was four years.

Yeah.

I was trying to surprise you all. Wasn't it fun?

You've changed a lot.

What?

Making jokes and laughing.

How was it being in the States for four years?

Anyway, when are you getting married?

I'm thinking of marrying Bin off next spring.

Mom!

Really? With Hye Rin?

Of course, who else would it be?

These days, they're getting along well without bickering.

No, we still fight everyday.

Yeah, fighting is what growing up is.

What?

But what about your luggage?

I found an apartment near the office.

What?

Why leave the house?

It's by the office, so it seemed convenient.

You like living apart, is that it?

Do you still see me as a child?

Of course.

Even with grandkids, she'd see you as a baby.

Where would you find such a disgusting baby?

Right here.

Cheers.

I hear you sell things?

On a small scale.

What are you selling?

This and that, whatever sells.

You made a good decision. Your personality wouldn't suit office work.

You know he was fired from a bunch of office jobs, don't you?

Yeah, you made the right decision.

People should choose their occupation based on what fits them.

Yeah. How's your new company?

It's good. The people are good too.

But you aren't making as much as you did in the States.

Really?

Yeah.

Then why'd you come back? Just enjoy yourself there.

Really.

Hyung, what about you? Is work going well?

I suppose.

I suppose.

Are you marrying Hye Rin?

Well.

Well.

Really!

What do you mean, "well"? If you are, you are. If not, you're not.

Who says he's not?

What about you?

I'm not really thinking about it yet.

There was that girl who used to follow you around all the time.

Who?

You know, she always wore that hat. She had chubby cheeks, and...

Oh, Yuri's friend?

Yeah, Yuri's friend.

She's just a junior classmate.

You guys have time tomorrow, right?

How about ditching work?

Yes, I know.

But our office is definitely different from others.

Yes.

I said so before, but we really can't do it for less than that.

I'll drop by now.

In the afternoon?

Yes, I understand.

What are you thinking about?

It's nothing.

Did you talk to the auto center?

Yeah, just now.

What did they say?

I'm going to meet them later.

It doesn't look good, huh?

We don't know yet.

Should I go with you?

No, it's okay. I'll handle it.

Do you want some coffee?

Sure.

France?

It went through.

Wow, this guy hit it again!

He's pretty good.

How many thousands of dollars is that?

- Thirty thousand, I think. - And 2,000.

Mr. Han, you'll have to buy us drinks.

Yes.

We'll go out.

Yes.

You really do have to buy.

I don't think one drink will be enough.

Yes, I will buy.

Let's go.

Yes, hello.

Yes, Director.

Yes?

Now?

I'm on my way.

I'll be going now.

- You're leaving? - Yes.

- Let's talk again later. - Yes. Bye...

See you.

Sir, Han Hyun is here.

Tell him to come in.

Come in.

I hear you've had brilliant results right away.

No, I'm just starting out.

I trust you to do well.

I'm sure you know, but our country has exchange losses of 600 million dollars a year.

What you earn can be lost just through the exchange rate.

That's why I recruited you so strongly.

Can our citizens earn money for another country?

Anyway, do a good job.

How is your apartment? Do you like it?

Yes, it's very satisfactory.

The company will do as much as we can to support you. We're trusting in your skills.

Thank you.

Ah, you're still single, aren't you?

Yes.

All right.

Go on with your work.

Yes.

How'd it go?

I'm sorry.

You worked hard.

I'll go take a break.

Okay.

Okay? Feel better now.

All right.

Like I said before, I trust you.

You're going to do well.

Thanks.

What thanks? We're friends.

Friends?

Are we friends?

What are you going to say now?

I just thought we were more than friends.

What are you doing?

Hurry, take care of it.

I'll wash it for you.

Take it off.

You think I won't?

Yeah, take it off.

We're friends anyway.

Take it off.

I'm not taking it off as a friend, I'm doing it as boyfriend.

Take it off.

What a pity, the phone rings now.

Disappointed?

Just wait till I'm off the phone.

Hello?

Yuri?
