Why are you smiling?

I thought it would be uncomfortable once everyone knew the truth.

It's surprisingly refreshing.

I think it was the right decision to tell the truth.

Of course. Honesty is the best policy.

Do you really think so?

Then...

can I be honest about my feelings now?

Tonight,

I want to be with you.

YU-SICK PARK

Answer it. It might something important.

YU-SICK PARK

It better be important or else he might be fired tomorrow.

What's going on?

It's an emergency.

That new French brand that you secured the rights to...

New K has approached them.

They signed a contract with us. What are you talking about?

If they break it ,we'll remove all their products from our duty free shops.

They don't want that.

I just discussed it with the legal team,

and we might be the losers here.

Their sales are really good.

Email me a loss estimation.

Also find their profits in our duty free and compare to any other locations

for the last three years.

What's going on?

Oh, my gosh.

Wait.

Is it weird to button it back up?

But it's also weird to keep open like this.

Oh, it's so embarrassing. What am I going to do?

I'm not sure what New K is offering,

but I don't think they can afford to lose placement in our stores.

I guess we should meet them and clarify the contract terms.

I think that's actually what their goal was all along.

We need to go to France?

Looks that way. Let's depart tomorrow.

Wait.

I won't see her for another week if I go to France tomorrow.

I can't just do nothing tonight.

How could she fall asleep?

With this atmosphere?

Oh, no, I need to go on a business trip tomorrow.

If I leave tomorrow,

you won't see me for at least a week.

You will regret it if you do not wake up.

She must've been exhausted.

Okay.

How much longer with just kissing on the forehead?

I will soon be a master of forehead kissing.

Why am I here?

Did I sleep here after getting drunk?

Are you up?

Oh, God!

You're up already.

Did you have a good night?

No, I didn't.

Because you went to bed first.

Oh, what was the big problem?

You were on the phone for a long time.

I need to go on a business trip.

Business trip?

You can wear this. I packed everything else.

You need to hurry to catch the flight.

I won't see you for a week.

I want to hold you for one more second.

Should I take you?

I can put you in my luggage.

In your luggage while you're up in first class?

I'd love to go with you

but I have lots to do here with you away.

Does it work that way?

Nice.

You can look at this photo when you miss me.

Thank you.

Mi-so, smile.

I'll look at this.

You're allowed look at that as much as you want.

Thank you so much.

No problem.

Come on.

Call me often

or you'll be in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

That kind.

MI-SO I'M ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT.

MR. VICE-CHAIRMAN

I'm on my way to the airport. I miss you already.

Cute.

Thank you.

I often get that, even though I'm a big guy.

Ah, yes, congratulations.

Mr. Vice-Chairman!

Did I wake you up?

No, I wasn't sleeping.

How was your day?

I thought of you 100 times.

That's too bad. I thought of you 101 times.

You need to try harder.

Yes.

I'm jealous.

Of what?

Good Job. He gets to lie beside you.

That should be me. That son of a cow!

Oh, no.

I cleared your spot.

I made this so it feels like I'm there.

MR. VICE-CHAIRMAN

You'll see on the next page...

Sorry, you can not reach...

I want to hear her voice.

I miss him.

Hello, everyone. I'm Gwi-nam Go and I begin working in the office today.

Honey.

Lots and lots of people applied for this job.

For you to be here, the authority figure, that is me,

pulled all the strings.

You know that, right?

Yes, I'll work hard!

I don't want anything great. I want to be like the salt in beef stew.

Not to be in the spotlight like a main ingredient,

but still an essential part, quietly doing my job.

I love your attitude.

I knew that you were assigned to our office,

but I didn't expect you so soon.

But it's nice to have him now...

so he can get used to the job sooner.

That's the decision Mr. Vice-Chairman made.

Right! When is he coming back?

In two days.

Oh, no.

It's been so great without him.

Good times are gone again.

I know!

I wish the flight would be canceled just for one day.

I hope he will get back late as possible.

Let's begin to work.

It has a nice aroma.

The coffee does smell really good.

Yes.

-Come on. Let's work. -Yes.

That noise sounded like thunder.

We're screwed.

My hand hurts.

Wait for me, Young-jun.

You walk so fast with those long legs.

I can't wait to see Secretary Kim.

Oh, now I get it. That's the reason!

You've kept such a tight schedule

and you're race-walking now because you want to see her.

No, it's because I can't wait to leave you.

And you think I liked it?

I... loved it.

Anyway, she must've waited so long.

She must've missed you so much.

Of course, she hasn't seen this addictive face for a week.

It must have been a very tough time for her.

She's not here to pick you up?

She doesn't know. I didn't tell her, as a surprise.

I can only imagine her big smile upon my sudden appearance.

Have you finished the file already?

Yes, because working is not only my hobby but also my specialty.

Oh!

Does the AC works particularly well in this spot?

Why is it so chilly?

Mr. Vice-Chairman!

You weren't supposed to come back until the 20th.

Hello.

I was working on the planning team. I'm now assigned--

I know.

Yes.

-I'm-- -An intern.

Hyung-sung Bae?

Keep up the good work.

I'll do my best, too.

I don't want anything great.

I want to be like the salt in beef stew.

Not to be in the spotlight like a main ingredient,

but still a essential part, quietly doing my job.

Beef stew is primarily about the beef and salt.

You're very ambitious.

Yes.

I'll look forward to seeing you perform highly, like a salt in a stew.

-Secretary Kim, you have a moment? -Yes!

Salt.

What happened? If you had called me, I would have picked you up.

Don't smile!

That sweet smile you're showing to other guys should be for me.

I worked non-stop, skipped meals, and switched flights to see you sooner.

I've been on a plane for 12 hours,

expecting your bright smile when you see me.

But you were instead smiling at the salt guy and the rookie intern.

I'm very upset now.

Please! We're in the office.

Then shall we go home right now?

I'm not saying that.

I missed you.

Let's stay close for as long as we've been apart.

Where are you going?

The weather is nice.

There's lots of work waiting for you after five days away.

I'm not sure you can afford to be out of the office.

Secretary Kim.

I never skipped a class when I was in school.

I've been a good boy all my life.

This is my first time skipping...

and it's to hang out with you.

I was watching couples walking in the street in Paris and thought,

"I want to go back to Korea soon

and go on a date with Mi-so."

It was my only thought. So, cut me some slack.

Then just for today.

I also missed you a lot.

Sung-hyeon.

Sung-hyeon.

Sung-hyeon, come here.

This is your new English tutor. Say hello.

Hello.

As I told you, he's a fast learner,

Please take special care.

He's really smart, huh?

Can you wait for me here? I'll go buy some drinks.

I'll go with you.

What? Are you scared of being alone?

I'm not!

All right.

Stay right here. You don't want to get lost.

Hurry back.

Was Sung-hyeon really locked in here?

Because I abandoned him?

Because of me?

What are you thinking about?

About when I was little.

When Young-jun and I were little.

I can't run away again.

Sung-yeon.

I realize when I look back

that I never truly hated Young-jun.

Rather, I hated myself for not being good enough.

He was skilled at everything and I was jealous.

I always wanted to be like him.

I'm sorry, Sung-yeon.

We were so careless.

If we hurt you...

I know it's too late, but...

can you forgive us?

You know...

I'm really sorry that I unintentionally compared you two.

I should've...

tried harder to understand you.

I'm so sorry.

Truly.

It's not too late, right?

To make another path.

Oh, my God.

Anything happen?

Yes, something happened!

What is it?

Should I tell you or not?

What is it? I'm curious.

Well...

Mr. Vice-Chairman has a girlfriend!

What?

He was just with her.

Look at this.

Who took this?

My friend. She knows his face because she's an intern here.

She just saw that he was doing this.

What about the picture? Is this the only one?

Yes, it's too bad.

Oh, my God, he told me not to put anything on the schedule.

I thought maybe he was tired.

But I never imagined he went to see his girlfriend!

He's tough on us but seems to be very sweet to her.

I guess so.

You didn't know? You were out with him just now.

I was waiting in the car, so I didn't know anything.

Here.

Thanks.

It was fun skipping class.

Isn't that a message from Mr. Vice-Chairman?

Huh?

I definitely saw it was from him. But why is the heart...

You...

are you the girlfriend?

You think he is the only vice-chairman I know?

This is the vice-chairman of the youth group at my church.

He's full of love and always sends hearts like this.

Amen.

Oh, come on.

Oh, my. Silly me.

That was close, but I avoided a crisis.

I played it well.

Secretary Kim.

If I ever said anything bad about the Vice-Chairman,

please forgive me.

Why are you saying that?

Who would like to hear bad things about their boyfriend?

What?

You two are seeing each other.

The hand in the picture was you, right?

No, it's not me!

Sometimes I really hate my sharp eyes and quick mind.

This bracelet is the same as yours.

Oh! You got it wrong. It was very popular last year.

I saw Manager Bong wearing the same one.

Secretary Kim.

Just admit it! As I said, I have sharp eyes.

Will you admit it now?

I know that you two are a couple.

Yes, we are. But please keep it a secret.

Of course!

I not only have sharp eyes but also loyalty.

Don't worry.

-Enjoy the sweet love. -Yeah, well.

All right. That's enough.

Thanks.

Oh, my God.

Did he just smile at you?

You two are so sweet and lovely.

Aren't you going in?

Your boyfriend is calling you.

No, please.

The intercom beep is so romantic now that I know about you guys.

It's a love signal.

It's a work signal. Please calm down and do yours.

Yes.

But I can't because I'm so curious.

When did it start?

Is he good to you? Any nicknames?

"Mi-so" instead of Secretary Kim? "My Mi-so"? "Baby"? "Honey"? Oh, my God!

Did you call me?

What's that for?

I want to work sitting next to you.

Sit here.

No, Ji-ah will get suspicious.

She found out about us.

Did she?

So what?

What do you mean?

She won't tell anyone, but...

it's just a matter of time.

I prefer it to be known.

It'll then be easier to be together.

And other guys, like the salt guy, won't have eyes for you.

No one has eyes for me.

Anyway, we can't tell people.

We should be more careful about touching each other around the office.

You don't want to tell anyone or let me touch you.

Why do you keep me from doing everything I want?

We should do things for each other, but this is only about what you want.

It's not--

I'm dying to show the world that you're my girlfriend.

You seem to want to hide me away. That doesn't feel great.

I do want to hide you,

but for your own sake.

Why?

You're not an ordinary person.

Think about the influence and impact you have.

We need to be discreet.

I don't know. I'll try to do what you want,

but I can't be so sure about my patience.

Mr. Vice-Chairman will be busy for a while, right?

Yes, he has to catch up with things that he didn't do on his trip.

Oh, no, it must be hard.

Why the worry about him all of a sudden?

You'll get hurt if you have a crush on...

What did you say?

Nothing.

Then carry on.

Yes.

I'll go make a copy of this.

Ji-ah.

Finished organizing the sales data of Yumyung Electronics?

Not yet.

I had other things to do while he was on his business trip.

I'll have it done this week.

All right.

It's now time to go home.

Already?

Honey.

What about a drink to welcome you to the office?

No.

The best welcome to me is not drinking but doing this work.

I'll work late for my welcoming party.

Excuse me.

I heard that he's a workaholic.

-He's amazing. -I know.

He's not.

All right, why don't we celebrate his joining the office

and go have a drink without him!

See you later.

See you tomorrow.

-Thank you. -Huh?

Secretary Kim asked me to find something. What was it?

Are you coming to my place tonight?

To your place?

I don't have the scary dreams when I sleep by myself now.

So I don't need to sleep at your place for that.

No.

But we do still have... unfinished business.

Unfinished business?

Something we haven't done yet.

What...

Why do you say such a provocative and embarrassing thing?

What's so provocative and embarrassing about "unfinished business"?

I can say sexier things.

A hot night.

A night of passion.

An erotic night.

Stop it!

The sexiest thing to say is...

I love you.

I love you.

I'm all out of ramen.

And I don't want to eat alone.

You said you were working late.

Ah, I lied because they may have made me buy drinks at the welcoming party.

It's an unnecessary expense.

What about having a welcoming party with me?

What?

I appreciate that you helped recover my shredded notes.

As a good neighbor,

I'll buy you a drink.

No, thank you.

If you treat, I'd have to buy next time. I don't want the vicious circle.

Hey!

Just come with me. You're talking too much.

Ji-ah Kim, what...

-It's a welcoming party! -Let me go.

We'll be there in five minutes.

Excuse me.

Hi, Dad.

What?

I said I'm fine.

I'm fine.

A rocker doesn't get hospitalized.

Please!

You don't need to be here for a long time.

It's minor ligament damage, so it's just for a few days.

Thank you. Dr. Choi.

Say hello to Mr. Vice-Chairman for me.

Yes.

What happened?

Well...

Now give a hand to the rock band, Phoenix!

I tried a stage dive and failed.

I forgot the average audience age was 50.

It's the age when you play it safe.

You should, too.

Yes.

Hey.

How's your father?

It's minor ligament damage, so it's just for a few days.

Good for him.

I should be here tonight.

All night?

Then will I be here too? I can say hello to him.

No.

This is not the right time for it.

You don't think so?

Besides, you're very tired after a 12-hour flight.

Go home and take a rest.

All right. I can't help here.

I didn't expect I would sleep alone.

I didn't force such a hectic schedule in Paris for this.

Yes, you must be very disappointed.

You've been anticipating a lot since the last time.

But what can I do?

Who are you?

Lewd devil?

It's me.

TONIGHT'S HEROINE

You are female?

-Yes. -You talk?

Let's chat.

Go away.

Way to go!

-To where? -Just go!

Aux Champs-Elysees...

That was a she?

Creepy.

GIGGLE

Stop or you will get drunk.

It's just so good.

Oh, what was this dish called?

"Quarter-noon?"

Guo Bao Rou.

Yes, Guo Bao Rou.

I've never eaten this chewy kind of sweet and sour pork.

Also, I've never had this kind of delicious alcohol.

I'll have these again on my birthday.

It's the 17th of May.

How many days from now?

Don't wait until next May for Guo Bao Rou and Kaoliang wine.

Hey,

I've been curious.

You got promoted the fastest of all those hired the same year.

And I heard that you get the highest bonus.

Why are you so frugal?

That's a secret!

I mean, you have one suit.

You live on the rooftop.

It's not a bad thing at all,

but why do you keep it secret?

I just don't get it.

I know it can be a problem.

When I was little,

my family lived in a single room.

I thought everyone lived like me.

All happy together in a single room.

I never thought it was embarrassing.

But...

as I grew up...

people made me feel embarrassed.

They could have said, "Gwi-nam is good at studying"

But they said, "Gwi-nam is poor but good at studying"

I was the first one who got a job among my classmates.

They could have just congratulated me.

But they said, "You did so well, considering your poor situation."

So my goal is...

to save a lot of money,

buy a house,

and give my wife and children

a different life from mine.

So...

I already saved 100 million won.

What? 100 million won?

Awesome.

How is that possible in your fourth year?

I only spend 100,000 won a month.

Wow.

The money I save, I invest.

I will...

enjoy spending that money

with my family in the future.

Whatever.

You introduced me to this deliciousness.

So,

on my next birthday,

when I have this again,

I'll invite you.

Just in case you get thirsty.

Mi-so.

You decided to quit your job?

Sisters told you?

I heard that you wanted to find yourself.

I couldn't eat because it broke my heart.

It's because of me that you couldn't live your own life.

I couldn't properly support you girls doing what I wanted to do for a living.

Please.

It was your dream to be a musician like you are.

That's what I wanted too.

My dream... I'm not so sure now.

It became the only thing that I was able to do well.

If I had dreamed to be a doctor or a judge,

my daughters would have had a better life.

Don't say that.

I just want to quit my job to take some time off.

So, don't worry about me. I have a dream too.

Mi-so, you know, Beyoncé...

after she left Destiny's Child,

she became more successful.

Mi-so.

You'll do so great when you get away from the Vice-Chairman.

Why don't we listen a song that goes well with tonight?

Your mom used to like it.

I'd love to.

Okay.

Secretary Kim, sleeping?

MR. VICE-CHAIRMAN

She is.

She should've told me.

How can it be more difficult to contact her here than from Paris?

Young-jun, awesome as usual.

MI-SO

Even though she misbehaved by going to bed without calling me,

I'll let it slide because she called me so early.

Yes, Secretary Kim.

Hi, I may need to take a half-day off.

Half-day off?

Yes, I need to be here this morning, Pil-nam comes at noon.

You're not really busy in the morning and Ji-ah is doing well these day, so...

All right, see you in the afternoon.

Yes, thank you.

A request for a half-day has never made me so sad.

Should I drop by to see her?

Let's go to Seyeon Hospital.

Yes, sir.

You'd be surprised to know where I am right now.

I'm in the lobby of the hospital.

What? Why are you there?

As you'd expect and imagine, I came to see you.

And to let you see my face for a minute.

Oh, no, I'm not at the hospital.

I went to my father's to get some stuff for him.

Then I should just go say hello to my future father-in-law by myself.

No, you can't!

Why not?

He doesn't know that we're seeing each other, so without me--

And you have a meeting for new routes of the airline at 10:00 a.m.

You'd better go to the office now.

All right.

Sales info of Yumyung Electronics...

It never ends.

She took a half-day off.

I know.

Of course you know. She's your girlfriend.

He looks very sad without his girlfriend.

Melodramatic eyes.

I wish someone looked at me with those eyes.

Here, take this.

What is it?

I made a data file of Yumyung Eletronics sales.

This is what I'm supposed to do.

Well...

you bought me Guo Bao Rou. I appreciate it.

I also want to understand all the duties of this office.

Thank you.

It must have been hard because there is quite a lot of data.

Ji-ah Kim.

What do you feel when you're in the forest?

What?

I feel refreshed and relaxed.

That's how work makes me feel.

There's nothing like finishing a job to feel refreshed and relaxed. So...

no worries.

Refreshed...

I feel very refreshed.

Here.

Thanks.

-Enjoy. -Yes.

Dad.

Oh, my eldest daughter.

Yes, you're having lunch already?

Mi-so, you need to go to work now?

Grab some food with me.

-Dad, I'll have lunch with her. -All right, go ahead.

MR. VICE-CHAIRMAN

When are you coming?

What do you want for lunch?

I need to go to the office right now.

But lunch first. Also, there's something to tell you.

Something to tell me?

Hope you come back ASAP.

What would you like for lunch?

I'll take care of it.

As you wish.

I'll have it with her.

Are you coming?

I'm coming soon.

I need to hurry. What do you have to tell me?

Here, take it.

What is it?

I decided to work at a new clinic that a colleague opened.

So I quit the hospital.

It's my severance. You take it.

No, thanks. Why would I take this?

What do you think?

You worked so hard for nine years to pay debts and loans.

Mostly student loans of mine and Mal-hui's.

You have no money now.

But I can't take this.

Why can't you? Take it.

Will you get married without a penny?

Get married? It's too early to say.

Don't be so sure about that.

It's now yours. Take it or don't.

-Excuse me. -Yes.

-Check, please. -Hang on.

Hey.

That would look great on you.

-I'll buy it for you. -No, I need to go now.

It won't take long. Come on.

I'm good.

You, Young-jun.

You're waiting to have lunch with her even though you're starving.

You're so lovely and sweet.

It's her!

What is that?

Was she late because she was buying me a gift?

I am now back.

How is your father?

He's very comfortable, thanks to you.

Good. Shall we go out for lunch?

I've already eaten.

I haven't.

How come?

I've been waiting for you to eat together.

Ah.

Pil-nam asked me to eat, so...

Oh, that's why you were late. Eating lunch.

You bought me a gift because you're sorry?

A gift?

You were carrying a shopping bag.

Ah, no, that's clothes...

for me.

You had lunch and bought clothes.

That's why you came late?

-Ah, that's... -You didn't think about me waiting?

All I want is to be with you, even for one second.

You don't seem to want that. I'm a little disappointed.

I'm sorry.

If you are,

let's go to my house now.

What are those eyes?

Ever since yesterday, you've reminded me of a word.

Oh, wait for a second.

Sexy?

Provocative?

Deadly!

No.

"Bulldozer."

What?

You've been revved up and pushing me since yesterday.

You're like a bulldozer.

What?

A bulldozer?

What were you pushing around?

You sexy bulldozer, owner!

Young-jun!

Even tough I'm a guy who got divorced and feels very regretful,

I can give you advice from experience.

Wait.

If it's derogatory advice like the underpants thing, no thanks.

The vocabulary was low, but the content was high quality.

Listen to me carefully.

When it comes to a relationship, the thing you have to keep in mind is...

it is her first.

Same as me.

It's my first, too. I'm so excited. I just want to be good to her.

But you can't just bulldoze through it.

Then what?

Bulldozing doesn't make the relationship any deeper.

Slow down and take it easy. Okay?

Slow down and take it easy?

Just the words make me frustrated.

I'm crazy about her, how is that possible?

If it's impossible,

she'll get sick of you.

What? Sick of me?

I have perfect looks and never-ending charms. Sick of this?

How can you get sick of Young-jun?

Think rationally, Young-jun.

If you run like Usain Bolt next to a toddler,

what will happen?

At first, she will try to keep up,

but eventually she will get exhausted and give up.

The pace is everything when it comes to relationships.

Hi, Mr. Vice-Chairman.

I bought this from lunch.

It's so good. Try it.

Oh, no!

Oh, God! What did I do? I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'm not even bleeding this time.

I'll get you some wipes.

It's not a big deal, happens all the time. Give me a second.

What a saint.

See? It happens so often that I have spare clothes.

If you fail to control the pace, see what kind of disaster happens?

You don't want to end up like this, do you?

My hero?

Tonight? Of course it's a date!

Then see you later.

It seems to be going well with the guy.

We are a couple now.

Good for you.

What are we going to do? Have dinner, watch a movie,

get a drink, and go to the Han River.

All in a date?

I'll be with him all night. I don't want to be apart for a moment.

I'm so crazy about him.

The night will be long.

We'll make-out too.

Oh, my gosh.

Hey!

Come on!

We just started to date and it's the phase where we're on fire.

We're adults, not saints.

Hey...

I'm sorry I pushed you.

What?

I thought about it, and I was impatient.

The feelings that I've suppressed for the last nine years...

they just burst out.

Mr. Vice-Chairman.

It was really a terrible thing that happened to me.

If I had to go back and live the same thing, though,

I would do it.

To meet you.

But I'll take it easy because you want it.

You can go home now. I have plans.

What are you doing here?

I didn't consider your feelings.

I want to apologize.

And...

And?

I'll stay with you tonight.

What?

I don't want to go home.

I want to be with you all night long.

If you go inside now...

I won't be able to control the pace.

I won't...

stop tonight.

I love you.

I love you too.
