[Episode 7] Ah, I can finally breathe.

But the President can't come at all?

Well, yeah.

Something came up.

He's been acting like he was going to come with you.

I just don't like him.

Ah, forget it. It's not like we're that kind of close anyway.

I was planning to come alone in the first place.

Ms. Jang Hui Won, please come into the 3D ultrasound room.

Okay.

Guardian, please come in too.

Oh, guardian...

I'll just walk you to the door.

I'll watch your stuff, so don't worry.

Okay.

I get hot easily, that's all.

I tend to feel warm inside.

Give this to me.

Thanks.

Is it over?

If you're still at the hospital, I'm heading there now.

Is he still concerned?

You don't have to come.

It's all over.

Why did I avoid them?

- Do you like Jang Hui Won? - Here.

I plan to confess to her seriously soon.

[Mother]

- Yes. - Son.

Your father just woke up. Don't worry about us here. Focus on your work.

No.

I'm not really needed.

I'll go back to the hospital.

You're going to wear it out.

I've never seen anything like this before.

So this is the 3D ultrasound?

I can already see

the arms, legs, even the fingers.

Thanks for today.

It must have been awkward at the OB-GYN.

Does that really matter?

What matters more is that you're not anxious.

Give me.

Okay.

I feel like I have a lot of memories with you tied to tteokbokki.

When I fought with my mom and ran away from home,

you bought me tteokbokki.

Right.

I really liked that time.

Eating tteokbokki with you,

talking about home, grades,

and what we wanted to do with our lives.

Well,

sometimes I think about this.

If I went back to those days with my current memories,

wouldn't I have lived much better?

If you went back with your memories, what would you want to do first?

Well.

First, I'd improve my grades.

No, maybe buy a lottery ticket first?

What?

How about you?

Well, I...

I...

I would've confessed to you first.

I kept regretting that

maybe I waited too long.

But after being your guardian today,

I want to protect you even more.

Min Uk.

Looking back, there wasn't a single day I didn't like you.

I thought about it a lot.

Who needs to be by your side right now.

Who should be there with you.

I wish that person were me, Hui Won.

Why does it have to be now?

Why now?

What brings you here at this hour?

I came to see if you were still alive.

Ta-da! A present.

What is it?

Take a look.

Wow...

No way.

I've never received something like this before.

Thanks, Mi Ran.

It's so cute.

Cute, right?

I feel very proud.

I bought it last time when I went with Min Uk.

I forgot to give it to you when the three of us met.

Oh.

With Min Uk?

Yeah. But, I don't know what he was so unhappy about that day.

He barely even looked at the clothes and left all the decisions to me.

I shouldn't have brought him.

Still, it paid off that I chose carefully.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

But he really acted like that?

Yeah, why?

Oh, nothing. It's nothing.

Want something to drink?

What's wrong with her?

Why isn't he even replying?

Next is the story sent by Ye Ju.

Hello, I'm an ordinary office worker living in Seoul.

Ms. Jang Hui Won, please come into the 3D ultrasound room.

Okay.

Guardian, please come in too.

Me, who openly opposed office romances,

- Since when does he get to be her guardian? - never expected it.

And now, I'm in an office romance. Actually, our first meeting was...

Anyway, I'm glad the chairman is okay.

I heard he's been eating well since yesterday, huh?

Who am I talking to?

I'm lonely, so lonely.

I thought we'd only have good days ahead, but there's one thing that bothers me.

My girlfriend's male best friend of 15 years.

Oh, that can happen.

- Turn up the volume. - Totally.

- Higher? - Let's continue.

The problem is... Oh my.

I recently found traces that my girlfriend used to like this male friend.

- After discovering those traces... - Jeez.

Opening Pandora's box won't help anything.

It'll just be picking at a scab and making things worse.

He doesn't even know that?

- Turn it off. - You want it louder?

- Are you deaf? - And my girlfriend...

I said turn it off, off!

- Wait a second. - Turn it off, I said off!

Off! Off! Turn it off!

If you keep yelling, I get tense, and it won't work.

- Ugh, seriously. - There.

So, to sum it up,

Option A, where a thrilling new love arrives with ale beer,

and Option B, a familiar yet fluttering

male-friend and female-friend concept.

We have to choose between the two, right?

Content about male and female best friends is trending these days,

but which one best fits our concept is the key.

That ticklish feeling coming from familiarity

might actually be perfect for us.

What's fluttering, and what's perfect, exactly?

Isn't the target audience too narrow?

For a mass-market advertisement,

would people without an opposite-sex best friend even drink our beer?

I think Option A, a new love coming your way,

seems more realistic and much better.

Let's take a short break now.

I also vote for Option A about new love coming your way.

Option A is good.

Good, Team Leader Bang.

[Is it over? If you're still at the hospital, I'm heading there now.]

- Aren't you getting in? - I... I am.

Doors closing.

Going up.

I guess you were very busy that day.

Oh, that day?

I'm sorry I couldn't go with you.

Something urgent came up.

It's okay.

Plenty of pregnant women go to the hospital alone.

Alone?

That very, very urgent matter.

Did it get resolved?

Yes, it was something I could handle alone,

so you don't need to worry about it.

I have a meeting, so I'll get going.

What? He even set a condition just to go together.

This is ridiculous.

Is she hiding the fact that they went together?

Why bother?

Jeez.

[Tray Return]

[Green Day]

What's on the menu?

Isn't dinner Korean food tonight?

- Yeah. - Seems right.

- It's seaweed soup. - Seaweed soup?

It's good.

Why are the side dishes so skimpy?

Tell them to put more effort in it.

Okay.

I'm the one who's hurt, but why is he the one angrier?

By the way, didn't you get ultrasound photos?

Show me the pictures of our Yeol Mu.

Friends really are the best.

[President Kang Du Jun]

[President Kang Du Jun]

Oh my, what do I do?

- What? - What?

- What? - It's nothing.

- It's really nothing. - I guess she doesn't like seaweed soup.

- Huh? - Seems she doesn't like seaweed soup.

[President Kang Du Jun] What, read and ignored?

Did he read it and ignore me?

- Ignored it? - Huh?

- But it's Korean food? - Ignore?

Ah... nothing.

[Jang Hui Won] My phone's acting weird. The file won't open.

Sometimes large files take a while to load.

Wait a bit.

Yeah?

- Huh? - Why?

[Jang Hui Won] It changed to deleted message.

Maybe she sent it by accident.

Looks like Ms. Hui Won sent it by mistake.

Who is he texting?

Was it sent by mistake?

Who was she sending it to?

I really can't stand this kind of thing.

Ah, what is it? I'm so curious.

Should I just ask?

Ah, whatever.

Stop making those sounds.

Seriously, we're eating.

Jeez.

Should I just ask directly?

[Jang Hui Won]

Uncle!

Did something happen with Manager Jang?

Nothing happened.

Tell me, so I can decide whether to help you or not.

You?

I've probably dated more than you have, Uncle.

Are you secretly dating someone behind my back?

Stop dodging and tell me what's going on!

Well, could it be

Assistant Manager Cha Min Uk from Sales...

Forget it.

Assistant Manager Cha the honey water?

Honey water?

He's Manager Jang's friend.

Don't tell me you're jealous because of him?

You think I'd really be jealous over him?

That's ridiculous.

Uncle, are you jealous?

Jealous? Don't be absurd.

I'm Kang Du Jun.

Would I really sink to jealousy?

Yeah, right. No way.

No matter what, you're still the baby's father.

The more I think about it, the more absurd it is.

How could he see that photo and not reply?

Maybe he didn't see the photo.

[Mi Ran] You said you deleted it right away.

I saw him checking his phone!

Huh?

Do you realize you've been talking nonstop about your president?

- Me? - Yeah.

Why are you so upset?

You always push things like that.

No, you're feeling upset now.

But do you know why that is?

Because you had expectations.

The higher your expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Oh, that's...

I was curious, but he acted clueless. So I was baffled.

Oh, please.

Anyway, I got my bonus. I'll treat.

Let's go eat something good with Min Uk.

With Min Uk?

I haven't been feeling well lately.

I'm fine. Just treat Min Uk to something nice.

Yeah? Alright.

Take good care of yourself.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Why do I feel like she's avoiding me?

Whether you regret having the baby or cry over a man,

would you even listen if I stopped you?

It's your life, so you handle it now.

I'm staying out of it.

Mom.

[Professor Yoo]

Yes, Professor.

Today?

Oh no, what should I do?

I'm not feeling well.

Yes, I should be fine by then.

We can have a meal then.

Yes, thank you.

Any plans after work today?

Attention everyone!

You know we have early dismissal today for Culture Day?

Yes!

So I'm thinking of treating everyone to some pork belly!

- Manager Nah? - Oh, I'd love to join but...

My wife said if I don't get an early dismissal, she'll divorce me today.

Manager Nah has three kids, so he's out!

I have a date today.

Date?

I booked a one-day class today.

Oh, that knitting thing you've been learning?

Yes, today we're knitting baby hats.

Manager, want me to knit hats for your kids?

Nah, my kids have big heads.

Can't make one in a day anyway.

- Must take after their dad. - Then, me!

- Just knit one for me. - Assistant Manager.

- I clearly said baby hats... - So,

everyone's busy, is that it?

- Yes. - Well then...

- Me? - It's not like

I have too much time, or I'm lonely...

No!

Manager Jang has plans with me today.

I already have plans.

Honey water?

As if he's some kind of hangover remedy.

Mr. honey water, what brings you here?

Pardon?

No, Assistant Manager Cha Min Uk, what brings you here?

I'm not exactly free enough to meet you one-on-one, you know.

Who let you in?

Without even telling me?

It's me. Didn't you have him do something?

He's just brought it after finishing everything.

- The task I assigned? - Last time,

you told me to redo the report, didn't you?

[Purpose of Client Visit and Summary of Key Activities]

I had high expectations, but it's quite disappointing.

If you tell me exactly what's wrong,

I'll fix it and bring it back.

No, I don't think it'll change even if you redo it. No need.

Here, something warm.

- What is it? - It's honey water.

- Honey water? - This honey water

is mixed to a perfect golden ratio.

Do you think I have time for a leisurely tea break right now?

I absolutely won't drink it. Honey water.

I'm fine too.

Well then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.

I need to stop by the New Product Development Team briefly.

Aren't you visiting the New Product Development Team way too often?

Sales and New Product Development

are inseparable, you know.

I guess you didn't know.

Oh, wait.

I just remembered something I need Assistant Manager Cha to do.

Secretary Go, remember what I mentioned earlier?

Tell Assistant Manager Cha exactly what I said.

About what? I don't know anything about it.

You know, that thing.

That?

That one, that one?

Oh, that?

Ugh, I'm so tired of this, really.

Ugh, neither of them is a kid.

Emergency! Let's meet up.

Something's off between them?

Yes, there's definitely some problem between them.

It's kind of awkward.

Come to think of it,

Du Jun seemed in a bad mood yesterday too.

He got annoyed over nothing.

Am I serving a president or raising a grumpy seven-year-old?

Right? Manager Jang seemed a bit more down than usual.

Yeah.

So what are we going to do? Do you have a plan?

I'll have to make one now.

Is there anything we can do to help?

Just in case, I made plans with Manager after work.

Yeah?

Something we can help with.

I've matched quite a few couples in my time.

Boom.

Love's Cupid, shall I try it again?

Oh, Cupid?

That sounds fun.

Oh, how about this?

Oh, that's perfect!

Let's just get those two together properly.

Then let's meet there later, okay?

I stake my name on it. I'll make sure to bring Kang Du Jun.

Fighting!

Cross!

[Ticket Box]

Manager, over here!

Jeez, I told you I'll get it.

I insisted, you know.

It's a romance movie. I thought you'd like it.

Yeah.

Oh my, just come and see.

I said I'm busy! Why are you bringing up a movie all of a sudden?

I can eat alone, but I really hate watching movies alone.

That's ridiculous, jeez.

Come quickly.

It'll be fun, right?

Huh? Oh my.

Oh.

You two are also here.

Oh, you two came to watch a movie too, huh?

Our movie's at 5:30!

Oh my gosh! Ours too!

Oh my, what a coincidence.

This is really amazing!

We still have a lot of time.

Shall we go play some arcade games over there?

Wow, that sounds so fun!

Then how about we team up and bet on popcorn?

The arcade?

No, I'm not doing it.

- We'll just get our clothes dirty. - Oh, come on.

Let's go.

- I said no. - Come!

Flip it, turn it over!

Why are we doing something so childish? Just do it.

You're a fool if you don't! Flip it, turn it over!

[Du Jun, Hui Won vs Secretary Go, Se Hyeon]

Whoa.

Oh, no.

How about basketball?

Let's play a different game.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Let's do something else. - Let's do something else.

Why? This is fun.

Oh!

Take it easy.

- Don't laugh. - Do it properly.

[Perfect Combo]

[Miss, Perfect]

[Miss]

Right!

Right! Left!

This is fun!

Why is he acting like that?

Why? I want to try this too.

Move aside.

Anyone can come!

[Round 1] Round one, fight!

Yes!

- Wow. - Whoa, she's so good.

Sorry.

You should've brought an umbrella.

Don't do it, don't.

Splash all you like, it doesn't bother me!

Movies are best enjoyed together, right?

Aren't you all hungry?

There's an amazing pork belly place nearby!

Oh! Let's go! Let's go!

Great, let's go! Go, go, go!

If we follow them there, we won't get home until dawn.

Let's go this way.

Quickly, quickly, quickly!

If I bring up the ultrasound photo here,

will I seem petty?

Guess it's a bit late to ask why she was with him that day.

- Well... - Well...

You go first.

You speak first.

Well.

Why aren't you asking?

You saw everything that day, didn't you?

Did you know that I saw it?

I saw everything too.

I was just pretending not to know.

How am I supposed to ask that myself?

Why can't you ask?

You could've asked first, right?

Aren't you curious?

Is that something I'm supposed to be curious about?

Yeah, honestly,

you said you liked it, so I wanted you to see it first.

Who? Me? Assistant Manager Cha?

What? Why Min Uk all of a sudden?

- What? - What?

What are you talking about right now?

I was talking about the ultrasound photo.

Jeez.

Why are you laughing?

So you've been talking about the ultrasound photo this whole time?

You didn't say a word when you saw the message.

When we met, you didn't even ask to see it.

Oh, that text was the ultrasound photo?

The file wouldn't open, and when I checked later, it was deleted.

Ah, then...

Ah, caught you right now.

I think you were seriously misunderstanding me.

No, it's not.

No!

I said no!

Seriously, what a weird person!

What?

Why are you getting mad?

How can it already be this perfect?

Looks like it's rubbing its eyes.

At this point, isn't it like a doll?

You're really overreacting.

No, it's not overreacting.

But look at those long arms and pretty legs.

Should we make them take modeling lessons later?

No, looking at the long fingers,

piano might be good, right?

Jeez, why are we deciding that?

I'll let our Yeol Mu do whatever they want.

'Our'?

Well, the baby's dad is me, Kang Du Jun.

Isn't it obvious?

They will have anything they want.

There's nothing the baby can't have.

Oh, nice.

The view at this hour.

Work, home, work, home.

It was getting predictable.

Just say the word whenever you need.

I'll take you anywhere.

Well.

About that fetal abnormality screening.

You've looked troubled since that day.

I wanted to ask if something happened.

I was worried.

Actually, my father collapsed that day.

- What? - He had some pre-existing conditions,

but his blood pressure suddenly spiked.

He got better fast, so I didn't say anything.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

I didn't even know.

By the way, did you wait for me that day?

No, I just...

I was just curious why you couldn't come.

You don't have to worry about it.

By the way,

what did you see that day, President?

And why brought up Min Uk all of a sudden?

That day at the hospital, were you...

Opening Pandora's box won't help anything.

It'll just be picking at a scab and making things worse.

He doesn't even know that?

Nothing.

[Min Uk]

But now,

can't you focus on me for a moment?

A view like this isn't common at this time.

[Decline]

Fine, I guess everyone's too busy.

Being nice to employees is pointless anyway.

Ugh.

I'm hungry, my blood sugar's dropping.

Ah, that startled me!

Who's there at this hour? Come in.

I said, who is it?

Stop joking around.

What's this? Oh my, is it real?

Oh my, what should I do?

Don't mess around!

You'll be in trouble if you keep this up!

I'm scared.

Ouch.

- Oh my, oh my, Secretary Go. - No, no.

Oh my, goodness.

- Why did I do that? - It's okay.

- No, it hurts a little, but it's fine. - Oh, my.

I'm really okay.

Oh, right.

I thought you were working late.

[Pork Belly] I brought some late-night snacks.

You...

Did you come all the way here to give me this?

Speaking of the pork belly,

I personally grilled each piece

with great care.

Why?

I never even asked.

Why?

Well...

Oh.

Well...

Because you're an exceptional employee.

Team Leader Bang.

I came because I'm curious about something, Jang Hui Won.

Yes, go ahead.

So that day at the hospital,

- Cha... - Cha?

That day at the hospital, Cha...

Cha... ah, what am I even saying?

- Cha... - Min Uk!

You've been waiting long, right?

No.

Time flew by while I was thinking about you.

Me too. Thinking of you, the whole day just went by.

Ah, come on, what are you saying?

What are you two doing?

Oh, I confessed to Hui Won.

And we decided to date.

- What? - What are you doing before the President?

Why, why!

So what?

President, you will congratulate us, right?

You will congratulate us, won't you?

Man to man.

When, where, and how?

Why, why?

We have a date,

so I guess we should head off now.

Well then.

No, Jang Hui Won.

Jang Hui Won, wait a moment!

- Hui Won, wait! - What should we do today?

Wait!

Stop right there!

Jeez.

What good is just thinking about it?

You won't even be able to ask properly.

[Si Hyeong]

Yeah, Si Hyeong. What's up?

Du Jun, you know the day the chairman collapsed?

What brings you here? Coming at lunchtime?

I was just in the area.

I came by to treat you to something delicious.

Oh, that's kinda touching.

Ah, by the way,

is grandfather doing okay?

The best medical team is caring for him in real time.

You don't need to worry.

Still, I should give him a call.

How's work?

Nothing special, right?

- Yeah. - You should be done

with your internship by now.

So that's the real point.

Your father started directly in management at your age.

You said Dad had management training even earlier.

So it's already late for you.

Why did your grandfather insist on leaving Taehan Liquor,

which isn't even a holding company, to your uncle?

Eventually,

this place is the golden egg.

- Father. - Yes.

Have you eaten?

Yeah, I have.

I brought some samgyetang.

It's quite good when energy is low.

Wow, your mother would love this.

Oh, would you like some tea too?

I heard my sister-in-law came that day?

Yeah, she sometimes comes to have tea.

You're always lenient with her.

So, what did you talk about that day?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Are you still taking medicine these days?

I stopped.

For things that could be

used against you in the board,

you shouldn't let anyone see or catch them.

You know it's easy to exploit your psychiatric history as a weakness, yes?

Why don't you just quietly get treatment in the U.S. like last time?

No, I won't run away anymore.

There won't be anything for you to worry about anymore.

I'll get going.

Has he already left?

Oh, he dropped by to give me this.

But still,

I was gonna bring up the blind date while he was here.

Oh.

Oh.

So, what you are saying is...

I mean,

let's set up your daughter with my son.

- What? - Our Du Jun

may only focus on work,

but he's not lacking in anything.

Of course. I know that.

But why did you choose Mi Ran

as a match for such a precious son?

First, her gentle way of speaking.

You've really raised her well.

My Mi Ran?

You've actually talked with Mi Ran, right?

They say one detail speaks volumes.

Even after just a few words, I was completely charmed.

You're here early?

You're really teaming up with me for the contest?

There are plenty of talented people, but why me?

Manager Nah was just bragging to his son via video call earlier.

It's not anyone else.

Our team's ace offered to work together.

Oh, Manager Nah.

You're competent,

and you have great drive.

While I prefer niche challenges,

you always consider public appeal and marketability.

We're going win-win together.

Come on, fighting!

We can do it!

So, I've lined up someone I think you will really like.

A fresh perspective and vision that our team doesn't have!

He should be here any minute now.

You're here!

Assistant Manager Cha is joining too?

We didn't invite him at first,

but anyway, that's how it turned out.

He never leaves Manager Jang's side.

We're going to Gapyeong soon for research.

It's a craft brewery Manager Jang knows well.

Gapyeong?

Hui Won knows good places. Smells great.

Welcome.

Cha Min Uk!

Oh? Mi Ran.

What? You came alone?

Yeah, I was just getting takeout.

Then let's eat together.

I had a company dinner today,

but Hui Won left early feeling sick.

Oh.

Hey, at least you answer my messages.

It's not like I'm gonna get you or something.

I did, just now.

Just now?

That's early.

Ugh, I lost my appetite.

I'll just get takeout too.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

One more for takeout, please.

- Okay. - You're buying.

What?

Buy it for me too.

You owe me a lot.

You're always so slow to reply, it's driving me nuts.

Just because I confessed once, you treat me like a stranger.

That's all debt. How will you repay it?

You're buying.

Annoying, seriously annoying.

- You're home. - Ah, you scared me.

Dad!

I told you not to barge in when I'm not here.

Do you really have to see your daughter with a guy like that to finally wake up?

Okay.

That's not the point.

Are you seeing anyone these days?

Dad.

Don't try to benefit from your daughter, just remarry yourself.

Just go on this one blind date,

I promise I won't touch any of your inheritance.

And I'll reactivate your credit card.

Quit working at that unprofitable hotel too.

Really? What's this about?

Is the family decent?

Oh, it's beyond decent.

First, make sure to keep it a secret that her date is

the second son of Taehan Group.

Knowing him,

he might back out if he feels pressured.

Oh, yes.

Just meet him once, okay?

- No, I won't. - Why?

What's the point of another blind date?

I'm seriously...

Fine, I'll do it.

You mean it?

Just don't go back on your word about the inheritance.

Of course.

We're going to Gapyeong soon for research.

It's a craft brewery Manager Jang knows well.

But how did they end up in a team for the contest?

And isn't Gapyeong basically a date spot?

A date I've never even had.

- Hello? - Si Hyeong, are you busy?

Yeah, really busy.

I uploaded docs for your approval tomorrow.

What's my schedule next Monday?

You called this late just for that?

It's really important to me, hurry up.

Ugh, seriously... Wait!

Well... this...

Monday.

Nothing major. Department meetings in the morning, and...

Then clear my schedule if there's nothing urgent.

Suddenly? Why? Something wrong?

- I'm hanging up. - Hello? Wait!

Hello...

Jeez.

Oh, this feels more like a picnic than research.

Ah, indeed.

Snacks and water are in the car,

so just get in comfortably.

Sales Team really prepares differently.

Where's Se Hyeon?

She said she'll print the interview materials and come out soon.

Oh.

I'll go to the bathroom one last time.

Sure.

Hey, Hui Won.

- Huh? - Am I making you uncomfortable?

I was a bit worried

that maybe

my confession that day

has become a burden to you.

No, not at all.

You can take your time to think about the answer.

But during the contest,

just treat me normally like before.

Okay.

Ouch.

The straight route is great, but you're turning too sharply at the corners.

I told you about my back.

- President! - Even better seeing you all here.

What brings you here?

I had some business nearby, killed two birds with one stone.

All the way to Gapyeong?

The owner probably expects only approved staff to visit today.

I think the owner would be happier

seeing me than you, Assistant Manager Cha.

Why are you acting like this?

I'll explain properly to the owner.

Oh, you're here?

Oh, sir.

This is the brewery owner.

Thanks for coming all this way.

Not at all.

As I mentioned, please take good care of our staff today.

Let's talk in private when this is over.

Yes, let's do that.

Shall we go then?

Yes.

Well,

shall we join them?

Yeah.

Let's go.

On the way here,

you saw the Texas-style smoked barbecue place.

And here, we have our craft beer...

President, what brings you here?

I came to see you.

- What? - Heard they have

the best beer in town.

Oh.

So that's how it is.

If you need any particular beer or have any questions, just let me know.

Our craft beer is real draft beer,

with live yeast.

I'll set it up right away.

If you could pay more attention to my staff than me.

They'll call if they need anything.

Shall we go?

I heard the President proposed the collaboration,

and somehow we seem a bit sidelined.

I know, right?

I wish the President had come another day.

Oh, don't be like that here.

Let's go try some beer.

I heard it's really good. Hurry up.

Alright, let's go.

Let's see how fresh it is.

Unlike mass-produced beer from conglomerates,

our craft beer's hallmark is its live yeast.

This mash tun mixes malt and water,

saccharifying them at 60 to 80 degrees Celsius.

[Barley]

You gonna try non-alcoholic?

Huh?

Not just for pregnant women, but for non-drinkers too.

It'd be great if they could enjoy beer happily.

That's a good idea. I'm all for it.

Let's all discuss it after research.

- Really? - Yeah.

Thanks.

How's your research going?

Now here it is...

Grill it properly, please.

I confessed to Hui Won.

Why are you telling me this now?

Because I want to do it fairly.

Unlike someone who created a fake schedule just to follow her.

Even knowing Hui Won's situation, you still said that?

Yes, I'm fully aware.

And confident I can handle it.

If you do know, you should understand this isn't just her problem.

To me, it just looks like you're clinging to the past.

I don't care.

As long as Hui Won's okay with it.

And let's be honest,

I think the one caught between

is you, not me.

- Hui Won. - Huh?

- Give it to me. - Thanks.

Since you like bell peppers, I prepared a lot of them.

Really?

- Did you wash all of this? - Yeah.

- These too? - Yeah, washed them with the peppers.

Look, ta-da!

Wow, amazing.

President, we prepared a small event.

- Pretty. - Me?

Thank you.

Hui Won, here.

Oh.

I could peel it myself.

You never eat shrimp because peeling them is a hassle.

I'll do it.

Wow, what does peeling shrimp mean?

It's love!

Manager Jang, you should date a man like this!

Oh, please!

I peeled enough for everyone, try some.

Please eat, here you go.

Thank you.

President.

How was the beer? How was it?

It was really good, amazing.

Was it good?

It's bitter yet sweet.

Did I go too far?

Manager, have this.

President.

What are you doing here?

The night air's great,

and the night sky is so pretty.

You barely ate. Let's go, everyone's waiting.

What about you, Hui Won?

Not anyone else. Were you waiting for me?

Pardon?

Actually, I went to the OB-GYN that day.

I saw you with Mr. Cha Min Uk.

I always thought I was the one you needed.

But today, I suddenly realized maybe I'm not.

- President. - I told you this before.

I'll do as you wish.

Whoever your heart belongs to, it's none of my business.

But I do expect us both to take responsibility for our actions.

Whoever you have feelings for, I don't care.

I'll keep moving forward regardless.

Whether it's one night or 15 years, I don't care about that.

You do what you want.

I'll protect you two in my own way.

I'll go ahead. Be careful on your way.

[President Kang Du Jun]

You do what you want.

I'll protect you two in my own way.

What I said earlier...

How's your research going?

Since you like bell peppers...

I think the one caught between

is you, not me.

[Jang Hui Won]

The draft beer there was insane!

It's not that the beer yeast is alive,

[Seriously] it was seriously alive.

I was drinking like crazy and almost got wasted!

He really was drinking nonstop.

Right? I drank a lot, didn't I?

You didn't go for research but for fun, huh?

- Assistant Manager Choi. - I heard from Se Hyeon

that the President came too, huh?

Yeah, he got out of a car wearing a suit,

and I thought he was a model.

People who've modeled are different.

But it was supposed to be just staff,

so it must've been a bit awkward seeing the President, huh?

I thought it would be awkward for me too.

But thanks to him, we did the research comfortably,

had a campfire,

and totally spoiled ourselves.

He seemed really uncomfortable though.

Plus the President really liked me!

I have extraordinary sense, right?

Your perception is uniquely special.

Right? Isn't that true, Se Hyeon?

Absolutely. Completely unique.

Exactly.

Se Hyeon's completely deadpan about this.

True, we should ask Manager Jang who was actually there.

Huh? Where'd Manager Jang go?

She was here seconds ago.

Oh, she left with a file earlier. Guess she has something to report.

As expected, after visiting the brewery yesterday,

Manager Jang is full of inspiration again.

Well, that won't do.

I can't just stay still.

I got inspired too.

Inspiration?

[Assistant Manager Cha Min Uk]

As I mentioned, there's only one condition.

When ordering soju or beer, mention our product first.

If you follow that, we'll supply all liquor at agreed prices.

Agreed.

- Thank you. - I'll go now.

Heard Taehan Group's heir is coming today.

He's the President from the beer commercial, right? Kang Du Jun?

Looks like he's having a blind date.

Really? I wonder who he's meeting.

Probably a celebrity?

Could be.

With that kind of wealth and looks...

Are you sure?

Are you really sure he's going on a blind date?

[Hui Won]

Oh, here to see the President?

Ah, yes... is he...

He has a meeting outside the company today and will leave directly from there.

Have you tried contacting him?

I can give him a call.

No, it's fine.

[Min Uk]

President Kang Du Jun is going on a blind date today.

After all this, it's still Kang Du Jun?

I know what you're struggling with.

All I can say right now is this.

I won't let you

face any situation alone.

And I will absolutely never

let go of your hand again.

I wasn't sure how to define this until I said it out loud, but now I'm sure.

To be precise, it's because I like you.

Whoever you have feelings for, I don't care.

I'll keep moving forward regardless.

He said he likes me, and he'd keep going straight.

But now a blind date?

Taxi! Taxi!

I need to get home by 8.

I won't take up much of your time.

Anyway, if it's work, you handle it all alone.

Son, do I even have to beg you

to have dinner with me?

Fine.

But you said casual meal. Why here?

Hello.

- Hello. - You're here.

[Yeonbingwan Restaurant]

No, you're feeling upset now.

But do you know why that is?

Because you had expectations.

The higher your expectations, the greater the disappointment.

What? Why are you here, Jang Hui Won?

Well, I...

Don't do this blind date.

I like you.

You look pretty today. Makes me want to ask you out.

Why don't you try kidnapping me then?

- Is that your boyfriend? - Pardon?

Manager Jang, do you have a boyfriend?

I like the President.

I knew it.

And I don't think this is over yet.

If she's a woman you brought,

even my late husband would have liked her.

What's your purpose in approaching Jang Hui Won?

Big news, big news!

Haven't you all seen the Office Talk chat?

If it were me, I couldn't come to work.

You were the one who crossed the line.

Now I'll protect my loved ones too.

[Anonymous board] I'll be looking forward to it.

You'll have to do your best to protect them.
