WOO-JOO'S HOSPITAL VISIT WOO-JOO'S DAYCARE CONSULTATION

FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR HYUN-JIN'S JOB

HYUN-JIN IS COMING

BS FOOD APTITUDE TEST

REAL KEY TO GETTING THE JOB

HYUN-JIN, I'M SORRY

Do you have to make me a thorn on your side?

Why would you be a thorn in my side?

I am, though.

Thorns stabbing deeply in your side.

Hyun-jin.

You need a lot of things for Woo-joo already.

And yet, you still made a room for me in your home.

I won't stay here.

So please...

leave me alone.

YOUR APPLICATION TO BS FOOD HAS BEEN ACCEPTED

Why couldn't this text have come sooner?

Then I wouldn't have argued with Hyun-joo.

I wouldn't have said those horrible things to her.

Am I a thorn in your side?

- Who says? - It's just...

You still haven't gotten married

and you always hang out with me

even though I'm not a kid anymore.

Goodness, sweetheart.

You've gotten so thoughtful.

I'll be your parent from now on.

Really?

Yeah.

Even if I can't get you the best of the best

I'll do the best that I can.

So you can invite all the guests that you want

and leave everything to me.

I'm sorry.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy!

STUDIO EUNHASU

We're closed.

Hey, get all this off the table.

Did something happen?

No.

We're having a drink to celebrate.

I'm finally leaving my tiny studio apartment

for a new house where I can

nail to the walls and decorate whenever I want.

I don't think it's that.

You always bring soju whenever something bad happens.

Did I?

You also brought soju on the day you came back from

your brother's pre-wedding gathering.

It was his funeral this time.

I was

Seon Woo-jin's chief mourner.

Apparently, he was a great guy.

Everyone cried as they talked about him

but I didn't shed a single tear.

It's not as if I knew much about him anyway.

It was also the first time I found out he had a kid.

He has a kid?

Yeah.

They even asked if I'd be willing to take care of him.

I would be crazy to.

I'm someone

who has never taken care of

or intends to take care of anyone but myself.

Are you okay?

I don't see a reason not to be.

I spent more days without Seon Woo-jin

than I did with him around.

But...

one thing bothers me.

What is it?

INCOMING CALL

Goodbye.

- Take care. - Thank you.

Tae-hyung, it's Woo-jin.

There's something I have to tell you.

Call me when you can.

The last person

Seon Woo-jin called...

was me.

I wonder why he called me.

He said there was something he had to tell me.

What could it be?

It has been ages

since I last lost interest in that.

It's raining like it did that time too.

So annoying.

OUR UNIVERSE

There's a dish I have in mind

if I get the job at BS Food.

VEGETABLE PORRIDGE BEEF VEGETABLE PORRIDGE...

Okay.

I believe

food offers many benefits.

Ta-da.

Here, try some, Woo-joo.

Here you go. Open wide.

Hey, Seon Woo-joo.

I worked so hard on this while I prepared for my interview.

Just one bite, please?

Here.

Open wide.

How is it? Good, right?

This time there will be some meat too.

Here.

Open wide.

Oh, no.

What a waste.

No.

- You don't like it? - No.

- Hyun-jin. - Se-yeon!

Are you guys planning to stay in the living room forever?

Look at the state of this house.

And you two as well.

It's not easy taking care of a kid.

Tell me what I should help with.

I could help run the robot vacuum cleaner.

Do you have a dishwasher?

Did you run the air purifier? Just say the word.

I'm good at pressing buttons.

Then Se-yeon

could you...

Does it feel much better now?

Yes, it does.

It feels so nice.

I'm glad.

All done.

Oh, right.

How are the preparations going for our company's interview?

It's going well.

I swear I'll ace the interview.

I'll make sure to get the job

so I can raise Woo-joo with everything he needs.

That's the spirit.

Then I'll ask the company blabbermouth and ask for tips

on the team you're applying for.

Thanks, Se-yeon.

Wait, but there is one problem.

What is it?

Who will take care of him on the day of the job interview?

I can babysit him on that day.

Don't you have work though?

Thirty minutes in the break room and thirty minutes at the café.

I'll just say that I'm going to the bank and babysit him instead

so don't worry.

You're the best!

Okay, Woo-joo.

Oh, no.

Are you okay?

Woo-joo.

It's time for you to...

No, not here.

- Stop. - Not here.

Not here!

- No! - Hold on tight!

- It's so damn hard. - It's so damn hard.

It's better if seen occasionally.

It's even better if seen from far away.

Woo-joo is also like that.

Hyun-jin.

How are you going to handle this on your own?

Will you really be fine?

I'm having trouble even with just a few hours.

I'll be fine.

When my wrist gets better

I'm sure things will be more manageable.

That reminds me.

Did the Bell Pepper guy who did this to you

not contact you afterwards?

He lacks a conscience

and a sense of responsibility.

Forget about him.

Woo-joo and I will live well together.

I bet he'll live well on his own too.

The kitchen will be like this.

And this is what the living room should be like.

Oh, and for this side...

I'd like the outlets to be built into the wall.

There should be four as I'm planning to set up my television and soundbar here.

I'm telling you, it's not that simple.

It won't be visible if you put the television there anyway.

I just don't understand why you would want built-in outlets

in this old apartment unit...

I heard it's possible if you take apart the flooring.

I want everything to be spotless, no matter what.

If you know so well, you should just do all of this yourself.

Let's say that we take apart the flooring like you said.

It could affect the plumbing and cause water to leak everywhere.

Will you take responsibility if this affects not only your home

but also the house underneath?

That's why

I'm using my money

to employ you, who's an expert on such matters.

You kept telling me to cut down the costs.

No, cut it all the way down.

But if you keep asking for more things in spite of the cost

we can't make any progress.

I'm counting on you, sir.

It has to work out

so we can start on the flooring and the tiles

so that everything works out by the time I move in.

Look at his hands.

Oh my.

He's skilled with the knife.

Would you look at all that?

I made the bok choy kimchi salad a bit salty

since that'll be more suitable for those living alone.

The chamnamul soybean paste tofu pancakes

were made based on each ingredient's scent.

And this

was added for decoration.

Let's have a taste.

It really is impeccable.

I bet the corporate cafeteria will be empty

since you're cooking today.

There are twice as many people

as there were for the Meal of the Day.

Team 3 ranked first place in sales for three consecutive years.

It's all thanks to your support.

Orders have already tripled our initial target

so you should keep your promise to expand the production line.

And Mr. Kim...

You are aware we are working on a new project, right?

Isn't it hard working on that many projects at the same time?

It won't be, as long as you confirm them in time.

Then I'll send my proposal by 3:00 p.m. today.

There's no stopping you.

You always make dishes that are bound to be sold out.

Why are there always empty spots on your team?

I am planning to recruit a new member.

I see.

Mr. Park.

But did you have to make your veins stand out like that?

I mean, I did find it attractive too.

You managed to get direct confirmation on the expansion of the production line

as well as the release of the new product.

Was today's show all to get that result?

You have to use not only your mind

but also your body to convince people successfully.

- What? - It's effective when I put the apron on.

Those people

won't read proposals anyway.

You really are different, Mr. Park.

- Good work, sir. - Welcome back.

TEAM LEADER PARK YOON-SEONG

Since you'll be busy

I'll take on the HR work instead.

Here's the list of applicants.

Thanks.

RESUME NAME: WOO HYUN-JIN

Yoon-seong!

WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN FLAVOR IS FINDING THE INTENT!

My baby. At last...

PURCHASE

PURCHASE COMPLETE

DAY OF JOB INTERVIEW

Its siren makes noises, right?

The remodeling has to be done by then.

Okay, thank you.

Woo-joo.

Auntie will make sure to get the job.

I'll prepare a magnificent feast for you afterwards, okay?

What?

I'm giving Woo-joo his meal before heading...

Hey, I have to go to Busan.

- What? - My team leader is nuts.

I was suddenly told I had to go and oversee the food truck event.

What should we do?

Should I just resign?

I could ask my mom for help.

No, it's fine.

I'm not going to fail this interview.

It's okay. Don't worry about me.

I'm really sorry about this, Hyun-jin.

TWO HOURS BEFORE THE JOB INTERVIEW

NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR

Hello, ma'am. I'm your next door neighbor.

DOWNSTAIRS NEIGHBOR

Coming.

Hello, I'm Woo-joo's aunt.

Of course. I know you.

We've seen each other a couple of times.

I'm really sorry

but I have a job interview coming up.

Could you please look after Woo-joo for a couple of hours?

I'm afraid I can't. I have to go to my in-laws' place.

ONE AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE THE INTERVIEW

LIST OF CONTACTS

- Hey, Ye-eun. - What?

I know it's my day off, but I can't babysit.

Sorry, Hyun-jin.

Hey, Hyeon-yeong.

Sorry, Hyun-jin.

I'm preparing for my upcoming wedding with my fiancé.

ONE HOUR BEFORE THE INTERVIEW

What do I do?

I can't think of any solution.

- Great work. - Great work.

Let's grab lunch.

Great work today.

Is it the remodeling company?

This is bad.

I have something to urgently request, my in-law.

I...

am giving up on raising Woo-joo.

What?

She's abandoning him?

It'll be just for three hours.

So you're saying

you need me to babysit him while you go to that job interview?

Yes.

I tried everything I could on my end

but there's no one better than Woo-joo's uncle.

You're a responsible adult

and you have great chemistry with Woo-joo.

I think you mean the worst.

Hey, hands off.

I said hands off.

See? You can just tell that Woo-joo loves his uncle.

Honestly, as long as you're fine with it

I'm open to the idea of raising Woo-joo here with you.

Are you crazy?

I said I won't raise him and I'm not his uncle.

My in-law.

We have now known each other for three years.

We spent more than two nights together.

That means we're pretty close.

What are you talking about?

If you hadn't injured your wrist, then...

Exactly.

You're the reason I injured my arm.

Poor Woo-joo.

Good grief.

I was having trouble taking care of him because of my injured wrist.

I bet the other applicants will have wrists that don't hurt.

I heard BS Food has great benefits.

If I can't make it to the interview

what'll become of our Woo-joo?

I'm sure you'll think of something.

I already cut ties.

That's not something so easily done.

We're tied by blood.

Sorry, but we have no blood relations whatsoever.

But Woo-joo does.

And we...

even stripped between us.

Strip what? When did this happen?

The bubble wrap.

Be careful.

Hey, be careful around my baby.

Careful.

That's enough. Come on.

The bubble wrap.

Hey.

Since this is Woo-joo's place

consider it your place

and make yourself at home.

See you later, Woo-joo.

Right.

Don't you dare give him chocolate.

SECRET TO WRITING COVER LETTERS

The photographer did a terrible job with it.

- Hello? - Danny?

Could you send that file?

It's urgent, so I need it right away.

Right now I'm...

I'll send it.

We need a strategy tailored to the consumption patterns

of different age groups.

People living alone prefer prepared meals at low prices

so they often buy from convenience stores or small portions online.

INTERVIEW WAITING ROOM

Park Ji-won, Cha Yeong-seok, and Ju Hyeon-seon.

Please come in.

APPLICANT ID

I wonder if Woo-joo is doing all right.

Hey, little baby.

There are three rules you need to keep.

Stay still.

Don't butt in and stay still.

Stay still

as still and silent as a rock.

Yeah.

Did you just understand that?

Let's see.

Oh, come on.

Can 20-month-old babies eat hamburgers?

Twenty months old is a bit too early to be eating patties and buns.

However, at that age, they can eat small amounts of French fries.

It didn't say that they can't eat hamburgers at all.

Okay.

It's time for some early learning.

Here.

Give me.

How is it?

It's the second thrilling experience you've had, right?

Yeah.

Here. Open wide.

How is it?

It's the third most thrilling experience in your life, right?

Daddy.

Eat up.

This is really tough.

Food

is like a button that opens a door to my memories.

Three years ago

after I didn't pass the final interview for BS Food

I had some kimchi pancakes

that my sister made for me.

Kimchi pancakes mean a lot to me.

On rainy days

my sister would sometimes add cheese

or corn to the kimchi pancakes

to make me feel better.

Those memories

are stored in a special place in my heart.

I believe that is the power

of food that has memories associated with them.

If BS Food recruits me

I would like to make a product that easily reminds people

of their fond memories.

Hey!

What was that?

Why is it so noisy in there?

Why are you the one that's crying?

I'm the one that wants to cry!

No.

No.

I can't believe this.

Mommy.

Because of you...

You're being all quiet now that we're outdoors.

Give me.

- You're so heavy. - Daddy.

Give me.

IN-LAW

Give me.

- That looks dangerous. - Be careful.

Don't do that.

Where's your Mommy?

Oh, no.

Wait, what?

Hey, babe. Over here.

I can't go down alone.

I'm taking you down with me.

How did your interview go, babe?

He's insane.

Unbelievable.

Did you just call me "babe"?

Are you nuts?

Why would you come all the way here?

I didn't take you for a con artist.

Well...

I couldn't go to the job interview with my splint on.

I took it off only for a brief moment for appearances.

Whatever.

Just take him back.

Are you crazy?

Is that your way of saying, "thank you?"

No, I'm genuinely asking if you are insane.

What did you do while you babysat him?

- And what you did at the company... - You're not the only one.

He vandalized and terrorized my mind and my home...

Take him, quickly.

Wait, I need to buy diapers.

Just take him.

I told you to wait!

You can decide on your own whether to change his diaper.

I'm leaving.

Wait. Where are you going?

You need to help out as his uncle.

I said I'm not his uncle!

This kid is...

Woo-joo.

The baby disappeared.

- Woo-joo. - Little baby.

Woo-joo!

- Hey, come here. - Woo-joo.

You need to head in there.

Come on, I can't go in there.

You're the kid's aunt. Come on.

- Hey, little baby. Come here. - Come here.

- Woo-joo. - Where did he go?

Where is he?

- Over there. - Woo-joo.

Woo-joo.

- Little baby. - Woo-joo.

Woo-joo.

Woo-joo.

I mean it. Let's never ever see each other again.

That includes you too, kid.

I could say the same thing to you.

Woo-joo.

Your uncle...

I mean, Seon Tae-hyung.

What do you think is wrong with him?

Did something happen to you today?

What did you do? What did you eat?

You know what? Never mind.

Let's stop thinking about it.

Thank you. You caught a fish!

It's so quiet without a baby around.

It's perfect.

Why aren't you picking up?

Your house is currently flooded!

I told you it was a dangerous idea.

The pipes have cracked.

If you picked up yesterday

things wouldn't have been as bad.

But the damage has been done.

My phone broke yesterday. That's why I couldn't contact you...

I definitely warned you that it was a dangerous idea.

So what happens now?

Obviously, the construction has to be postponed.

We have to wait for it to dry before we can continue our job.

Sir.

Then...

when will I be able to move in?

It'll take at least another month.

Our work has to be complete before the other teams can begin theirs.

Sir...

Oh, no.

We'll apply the tiles once the wiring is done.

We'll have to redo the wallpaper after it's dry.

The house downstairs is complaining about the leak.

10 DAYS ADDED FOR WALLPAPERING, WIRING, AND TILING

No.

WHERE DO I GO NOW?

Stop leaking, please.

Please, stop.

Stop!

No, I mean...

Thank you.

Please put that over there.

YOUR PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED

No.

This temperature and humidity...

It's terrible for my baby.

If only that pipsqueak didn't drop my phone...

No, if only that woman didn't leave that kid to me...

No, if only we hadn't run into each other at the funeral...

No, from the pre-wedding gathering.

No, from Bell Pepper.

No!

Let's never ever

run into each other again.

My baby.

I have to protect my baby.

Could I rent the studio apartment for one more month?

Another person will be renting it out.

My baby is about 800cm in width.

You need to make a reservation first. A lot of people are on the waiting list.

I don't think the place is big enough for the sofa.

I thought you said a home never betrayed you.

Did it betray you?

All right.

Keep going.

Keep going.

This way.

Keep going.

Keep going.

Okay, this way.

Come on, not that way.

This way!

Oh, no!

Not on the chili peppers!

Stop!

Come on. Seriously?

You just drove over the dried chili peppers.

Come on.

These are high-quality chili peppers.

What a waste.

- What's all this about? - You didn't have to come out, Mom.

Is someone moving in?

To which floor?

That's the thing.

Nobody moved out even until this morning to my knowledge.

Those guys drove all over your precious chili peppers.

Oh, no! That's terrible!

- Good grief. - Is someone moving in?

Yes.

Hi there, Yeo-reum.

Hi there, Bom.

Hi there, Ga-eul.

- Hello. - Daddy.

Hey, Lee Jae-min.

You still haven't started delivering yet?

Are you looking at crypto again?

Excuse me.

Which unit is this for?

It's all for Unit 206.

Unit 206?

Hi, little baby.

- Just put them all in the living room. - Okay.

Wait.

What's all this?

Right, the baby's aunt.

I'm a responsible adult.

You're a responsible adult...

I have the worst...

I mean, great chemistry with Woo-joo.

You have great chemistry with Woo-joo.

And you mentioned that you wanted

to raise this kid together here, right?

As long as you're fine with it

I'm open to the idea of raising Woo-joo here with you.

You're not saying that

you're going to live here with us, are you?

I mean, this is technically Woo-joo's place

but right now

I'm living here too, you know?

But why would that be an issue?

We...

even...

stripped...

between us.

We even stripped between us.

From now on

instead of calling each other

let's knock to leave messages.

I hope we get along

my in-law.

Forget about getting along.

This is ridiculous.

You and I can't live in the same house.

Then...

My in-law.

Do you have 5.36 million won?

5.36 million won?

What's that about?

The compensation for damages.

This is what happened

on the day you left me with the baby and disappeared.

This is evidence that documents the terrible damages I suffered

on the very day you went to do your job interview.

If that's not enough to convince you...

This was also on the same day.

On the very day you were taking your job interview

our little baby

completely destroyed my phone

causing me to miss the right time to save on construction costs and this mess...

So the day I can move into my home has been postponed by a month.

The cost of all that

is a whopping 5.36 million won.

Wait.

But...

you're not really saying you're going to live here, are you?

We'll be staying temporarily.

Me and my babies.

I mean, strictly speaking

we're not really a family.

More importantly

you're a guy and I'm a girl.

Excuse me, my in-law.

Do you see me as a man?

Of course not. No way.

You're definitely not my type.

Exactly. I feel the same way.

To me, you're just the baby's aunt.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It's a good thing.

Perfect for living together.

Still, this isn't right.

Hang on.

Why am I asking for your permission

when I could ask the actual owner instead?

If what you're saying is right

the owner of the house is not you

but the baby right here.

If you think about it

the real chief mourner at the funeral was the baby.

This house is owned by the baby too.

What do you think, little baby?

Will you accept me as your tenant?

Will you?

Yeah.

Yes!

He says yes.

How may I help you, Master?

Hey, what's that around your mouth?

It's not chocolate, is it?

The menu for this morning is

antibiotic-free chicken breast

organic rice, domestic cabbage

domestic carrot...

Shall I go on?

This slows aging.

Decaffeinated coffee.

Vitamin D for photosynthesis.

Over here.

Snap out of it. You can't fall for that.

YOU HAVE PASSED THE FINAL ROUND OF BS FOOD'S OPEN RECRUITMENT

Woo-joo!

Your aunt just got the job at BS Food!

Hey, congratulations.

Clap, little baby.

A round of applause.

Thumbs up to your aunt.

That's it.

My in-law.

This isn't the time for this.

You should go and celebrate with your friend.

Go out and have some great food.

Buy things you'll need for your first day at work.

Don't worry about the baby or what goes on at home.

Say bye-bye to Auntie.

I'll see you later, Woo-joo.

It's ridiculous. He's a guy and I'm a girl.

We can't live together.

Boys and girls should keep a certain distance.

It's not as if you have to sleep with that guy.

Why not?

I mean, just live together.

I don't see any harm in it.

In fact, I think it would be good.

You can split the parenting and chores fifty-fifty.

Fifty-fifty?

No.

No way.

Yesterday he came in like a bulldozer

so I got carried away.

But tonight

I'm kicking him out for sure.

I just need to get through one month.

I just need to play along with her.

Then I can get my rent and storage fees covered.

How sad.

You are willing to be a lackey just for the furniture.

No wonder you pick up on needs so fast.

You've got that lackey assistant experience.

It's cold.

I'm not a lackey. I can see the big picture.

It's unwavering devotion to my babies.

Sure, if you say so.

After paying for the construction

I have 153,000 won left in my account.

I have to pay next month's loan interest right away too.

Still, things aren't like that

between men and women.

What if things get complicated with her?

Complicated? No way. That's never going to happen.

But I heard she's being stubborn.

What if she keeps trying to kick you out?

She won't.

Even the heavens are helping me.

That girl...

just got a job.

Hyun-jin.

Aren't you getting anything?

I'll get you something to celebrate your new job.

No, I've got lots of clothes.

Why? What is it?

I have to find someone to babysit Woo-joo

but it costs over two million for a babysitter.

And the daycare has a waitlist.

Seriously?

It's going to be really tough getting used to the work at first.

I know.

Woo-joo and I will need some time to get used to things too.

I wonder if your in-law will actually follow your grand plan.

Just wait and see.

It won't even take ten minutes.

Ten minutes.

Time is ticking.

Just think of him as a temporary helper for now.

Hire, use, permit.

You're the boss.

No, but still...

Hyun-jin.

Let go of your old-school mindset.

Just for a bit.

Just focus on the immediate benefit.

All right.

It must be her.

We have some urgent matters to wrap up between us.

Don't we?

Tonight at 7:00 p.m., in the living room.

One month.

Just one month. That's it.

From nine to six.

While I'm working at BS Food

please take care of everything about Woo-joo.

Okay.

And on top of that, take care of the house too.

Well, you can keep doing what you have done today.

Auntie.

Yes?

Okay.

But it's fifty-fifty.

Let's make a fair split as housemates.

On top of that

we split the water, gas, electricity, and Wi-Fi bills.

Fifty-fifty for everything.

Deal.

And since this is Woo-joo's house

we'll split the cost of his diapers and baby formula too.

Fine, deal.

Call.

CONTRACT FOR LIVING TOGETHER

WOO HYUN-JIN

Bell Pepper?

There's a smudge.

Forget it. The deal is off.

The guy on Bell Pepper?

Are you really his brother?

- One day - One day

- Woo-joo suddenly - Woo-joo suddenly

- fell upon us. - fell upon us.

Mommy.

What is she expecting me to do?

Which one of you will be taking care of him?

You think this is funny?

I'll have you know this is no laughing matter.

Why would you put him here?

Exactly. Why did you leave the kid with me?

I'll take care of him.

I'll raise Woo-joo.

Will you really be fine?

Woo-joo and I will live well together.

Look at the state of this house.

How are you going to handle this on your own?

I'll make sure to get the job so I can raise Woo-joo with everything he needs

Your house is currently flooded!

Then when will I be able to move in?

It'll take at least another month.

What's all this?

You're not saying that you're going to live here with us, are you?

Just think of him as a temporary helper for now.

You can split the parenting and chores fifty-fifty.

One month.

Please take care of everything about Woo-joo.

Deal.

Call.

I hope we get along

my in-law.

OUR UNIVERSE

If you need to ask

don't forget to knock.

Are you not going to work?

How are you going to take care of him when you go to work?

You're no help at all!

It's only until I get used to my job.

I'm Park Yoon-seong, the team leader of Planning Team 3.

I wanted show only my perfect side to Yoon-seong.
