THE DAY MI-RAE AND MI-JI WERE BORN

[Mi-ji in Korean] We were together from the very first page.

- [music concludes] - [heartbeats thumping]

[gasps]

There are two hearts.

They're twins.

[Mi-ji] While Mom went into panic mode after hearing she was having twins,

Dad gazed at the two dots twinkling like stars

and came up with our names.

- Mi-ji. - Mi-ji.

[gentle music playing]

- [Mi-ji] And Mi-rae. - Mi-rae.

[Mi-ji] The first twin would be Mi-ji, meaning "unknown."

The second would be Mi-rae, meaning "future."

- She's unresponsive! - Take her to the NICU!

[Mi-ji] But the first one needed a future more than her sister.

- So the older sister was named Mi-rae. - Doctor.

Is there something wrong with my baby?

- [baby crying] - [Mi-ji] As for me,

I just got the name that was left.

[father] Go wash up. I'll get the food ready.

[Mi-ji] Even for identical twins, we looked remarkably alike.

[Ok-hui] Mi-rae. It's time for your medicine.

[Mi-ji] Even our own mother couldn't tell us apart.

- Mi-rae, your medicine. Want a snack? - [Mi-ji] There were only two people

who could instantly tell us apart.

[father] Good job.

- I'll get you a snack too. - [Mi-ji] One was our late dad.

[anchor] The IMF crisis led to layoffs…

[Mi-ji] We barely saw our mom due to her always working.

- But over time, we got used to… - [father] It's a monster!

…our dad staying with us all day.

- [father] Yellow, red… - [Mi-ji] And so,

our dad became our best friend.

Okay, here you go.

[Mi-ji] We never had to tell him who we were

or what our favorite candy colors were.

- He knew everything about us. - Okay, great job.

- [Ok-hui sobbing] - [music turns somber, concludes]

[continues sobbing]

[Mi-ji] The other person who could tell us apart was my favorite person…

[Ok-hui] It should have been me!

…our beloved Grandma.

[perky music playing]

[Mi-ji] Before we knew it, we were in elementary school.

- [TV announcer] The Ski Jumping World Cup… - [Mi-ji] We still looked identical,

but we were gradually changing on the inside.

[TV announcer] Picking up speed… And jump… [continues indistinctly]

[Mi-ji] Mi-rae, who mastered equations in fourth grade,

took medication four times a day.

[TV announcer] …really affects the distance.

[Mi-ji] As for me, I was as healthy as a horse…

[young Mi-ji cheers] Ah!

- …but I'd barely mastered my times tables. - Mi-ji, solve ten pages as punishment.

[Mi-ji] I hated math. Mi-rae hated herbal medicine.

Wait.

That meant I was good at taking medicine, and Mi-rae was good at math.

That was the start of our secret promise.

A pinky promise that we would do things that were hard for the other twin.

Why didn't we think of this sooner?

We got addicted to this perfect cheat code.

We played the Korean flute…

YU MI-JI

…and hung from monkey bars for each other.

YU MI-RAE

We made a pinky promise every single day.

Sometimes, however, there were things we just couldn't do for each other.

Mi-rae.

[music turns contemplative]

- [Mi-ji] But eventually we got caught. - [Ok-hui] I can't believe you two!

- How could you do that? - [Wol-sun sighs]

- [Mi-ji] And our secret promise ended. - You want me to cut it, Mom?

- I'm sorry, Mi-ji. - [Mi-ji] We thought things would return…

- It's okay. - …to normal if I just regrew my hair.

But once we realized our differences, we began to take different paths.

[contemplative music continues]

[Mi-ji] Mi-rae was easily the school's top student…

[cheers]

You're so awesome, Mi-rae!

- [music fades] - [clock ticking]

[school jingle plays]

[teacher] That's it for now. Lesson's over.

It's lunchtime. Enjoy your food.

[thrilling music playing]

[roaring whoosh]

[students clamoring]

[student] Move, move!

[Mi-ji] And I was just the kid who always ate first.

[music turns quirky]

[Mi-ji] One day, while eating before everyone else, as usual,

my life suddenly changed.

[music concludes]

[Mi-ji] I was told my whole life not to run.

Hey…

[Mi-ji] But suddenly, he said, "You were born to run."

[soft daring music playing]

[Mi-ji] And that's why I ran.

TWO-TIME CHAMPION AFTER THREE MONTHS OF TRAINING

[Mi-ji] I started to win awards

when I'd never even won one for perfect attendance.

TRACK AND FIELD RISING STAR PROMISING SPRINTER

Actually, I won a lot of awards.

I was no longer just Mi-rae's twin.

NATIONAL YOUTH TRACK AND FIELD GOLD MEDAL, YU MI-JI

[Mi-ji] I got to experience the thrill of just being Yu Mi-ji for the first time.

[music concludes]

TRACK AND FIELD DUSON HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES

Mi-ji, joining the national team, a full-ride college scholarship…

- Everything depends on today's race, okay? - I know.

- You can do it! - Yes!

[friend] You got this!

[Mi-ji] A rosy future was just within my grasp.

[crowd cheering]

[race official] Ready!

[breathes deeply]

[Mi-ji] The future that seemed so obvious to everyone…

[crowd cheering]

- Go! - Run!

[crowd cheering]

- Go, go! Yes! - Go! You can do it!

[rumbling echo]

[Mi-ji] The future that was always…

[groans]

…unknown to me.

[gentle music playing]

[Mi-ji] This is why a person's name is important.

EPISODE 1 MI-JI, YET UNKNOWN

[music concludes]

[radio broadcaster] We expect the commute to Seoul to be very rough this morning.

Due to unexpected heavy rainfall last night, several roads are closed,

causing ongoing traffic congestion.

The heaviest congestion on Olympic-daero

is from Dongjak Bridge to Yeomchang Underpass.

And in the opposite direction towards Hanam,

- traffic is backed up around Yeouido. - [kettle beeps]

[kettle beeps]

[door lock chirps]

[door lock beeps]

[Ok-hui] Wake up.

You're old enough to get up on your own.

[Mi-ji] I'm awake, but I'm just keeping my eyes closed.

I'm going to work. Don't say that I didn't wake you up.

[dog barking in distance]

[exhales]

[groans, yawns]

[Mi-ji exhales]

Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come.

Today is yet unknown.

[exhales] Let's go!

[perky music playing]

[Mi-ji] I can do it!

THERE'S MORE TO SOMETHING THAN MEETS THE EYE

[perky music continues]

- [Mi-ji] Hello. - [resident 1] Have a good day.

Hello!

- [resident 2] Take care. - [Mi-ji] Okay.

[Mi-ji humming]

Ooh!

[birds chirping]

IN SEARCH OF A SENSE OF PURPOSE TODAY AS ALWAYS

- Ta-da! They look good, right? - Jellies!

STAFF RESTROOM NO STUDENTS ALLOWED

- [door opens] - [toilet flushing]

Who are the only people who can use the teachers' restroom?

[students] Only a teacher can use it.

[water running]

Hey, you're not a teacher either.

What?

- Don't say "hey" to me, you rascals. - [students laughing, screaming]

- All of you, get out. - [student] Let's go!

- [Mi-ji grunts] - [groovy song playing]

- Let's play dodgeball. - You like dodgeball, right? Let's do it.

[contemplative music playing]

[clicks tongue]

[in Korean] Jeez…

[sighs]

- You know… - [music fades]

I heard the vice principal's son is a lawyer who graduated from HNU.

Everyone in our school knows that.

The thing is…

She's nice, but she always seems to brag about her family.

I mean, look at Ok-hui.

She did a fantastic job raising her daughter, but she never brags.

[Ok-hui] Oh, please…

There's nothing to brag about.

Stop being modest.

Your daughter was always competing for first place

against the vice principal's son all throughout high school.

She went to a prestigious university in Seoul on a full-ride scholarship!

She's nothing compared to a lawyer who graduated from HNU.

What are you talking about?

Lawyers are closing their offices left and right these days.

Being a public servant is the best job. [chuckles]

She just works for a public corporation.

That's even better.

It's as stable as being a public servant.

They also make a lot more money!

Goodness, when it comes to raising kids,

Ok-hui was the best in Duson-ri.

I didn't do anything. All I did was give birth to her.

She grew up all by herself.

Isn't that the biggest thing you can brag about?

She's bragging without even realizing it.

Stop it, you two.

Don't accuse me of bragging when I'm not doing anything.

Mom.

Can you finish this up? I need to use the restroom.

- [worker] Okay. - Okay, go ahead.

[door opening]

[worker] Who's that?

I thought her daughter worked for a public corporation?

Shh! That's her twin.

She's that track and field prodigy from back in the day.

The one who got injured and quit…

That's her?

You could've just texted me. Why did you come all the way here?

Why? Did you lie about only having one daughter again?

I told you not to call me "Mom" here. This is my workplace.

Yes, ma'am. So, what did you want to talk about?

Today is your last day of cleaning.

Go say goodbye to the vice principal.

Who? Bun-hong?

- Yes. - Why? She lives next door.

Just do as I say. [clicks tongue]

Ms. Clean. Can I talk to you?

- Sure. - [chuckles]

[whispers] Go. Hurry up and go.

- Don't forget to say goodbye. - What's the point?

[Ok-hui] Hurry up and go. [clicks tongue]

Mi-ji, I wanted to see you

about the cleaning job you applied for at the Office of Education…

Did they announce the results already?

- They said you didn't get the job. - I see.

These days, even permanent contract positions

are as competitive as full-time jobs.

They say even college graduates apply for these jobs.

I'm so sorry.

Gosh, please don't apologize. It's my fault I didn't get it.

Goodness, I would've picked a college graduate over me too.

They're probably more efficient at cleaning than I am. [chuckles]

If you want…

I can make sure

that you can keep doing what you're doing right now.

Do you mean cleaning the school?

Yes.

Hmm.

- It's okay. - Why not?

Is it because it's not a permanent contract position?

No, it's not because of that.

I heard that the person before me was just on sick leave.

I don't think it's fair to steal a job from someone who is ill.

It's not fair?

All right.

Then what do you plan on doing now?

There are a lot of things I can do.

Everyone wants me when it's peak farming season.

Ah, so your dream is…

- to become a farmer? - [chuckles]

I'm too old to have a dream. I'm just trying to make money.

I'm saying this

because I think of you as my daughter, so don't take this the wrong way, okay?

Okay.

There's no reason to feel old at 30.

But you're also not that young.

I mean, you don't have to look too far.

- For example, Mi-rae-- - Oh!

Goodness.

You don't want me to compare you to your sister, do you?

Okay, fine. Then take my Ho-su, for example.

When Ho-su was in his twenties,

he did his best to sow his seeds by working hard in college and law school.

Now, he's reaping what he sowed.

Earlier, you mentioned the peak farming season.

Right now, you are in your last sowing season.

If you don't sow anything right now,

then what will you harvest later on in your peak farming season?

- [quirky music playing] - [inhales sharply]

I'm just helping out,

so I don't know much about sowing.

It was a metaphor.

I was using farming as a metaphor for life.

- I see. - Yes.

Anyway, whether you learn a skill

- or marry Gyeong-gu-- - No way.

He's just my ex.

Then get a new boyfriend.

At 30, you should be deciding on a career path, not exploring options.

It might never be too late to start,

but there is an appropriate time to do things.

Are you listening to me right now?

The vibe at this place isn't that great.

- Have we been here before? - [intriguing music playing]

This place has good food and a nice ambience.

- But the chairs make wheelchair access… - "Chicago."

Do you want to sneak off by ourselves?

- Chicago is located… - [Yeong-hun] Are you listening to me?

Don't nod if you're not listening to me.

[sighs]

Illinois.

We may have to postpone the trial today.

[Yeong-hun] What? Why? It's almost over.

Why? Is there a problem?

I think Mr. Choi Sang-joong will be revising his testimony today.

No way. Why would our key witness suddenly do that?

- How sure are you? - About 90%.

Okay. Fortunately, the judge is a friend of mine.

I'll try to postpone.

[exhales]

[music concludes]

Their lawyers were talking about renting apartments in Chicago.

They also mentioned scholarships.

What does that have to do with Mr. Choi?

His son goes to the University of Illinois, which is in Chicago.

Didn't he return to Korea because Mr. Choi was struggling financially?

I haven't been able to get hold of Mr. Choi lately, so I looked into it.

I discovered that he visited the US with his son.

An apartment in Chicago, Illinois and a scholarship.

Those guys are really determined to win, aren't they?

How could they bribe a witness?

It's all still circumstantial, so we'll have to confirm.

But how did you hear about it?

[hesitates] Did you wiretap them?

They cheated first. I'm sure it wasn't wiretapping.

It wasn't.

But we did manage to avoid getting stabbed in the back at the last minute.

So let's sharpen our knives and try to finish strong.

I'm going to drive back now.

- Of course. - Sir, please drive safely.

[mouths] Good job today.

Thank you, sir.

[car engine starting]

Why did you thank him?

What? Oh, it's nothing.

What do you mean?

[indistinct chatter]

Ho-su, you're just coming back?

- Mr. Lee. - [rumbling echo]

[muffled] Mr. Lee?

Mr. Lee? Oh!

[gasps]

Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry. Oh, no…

No, it's okay. I didn't see you.

You're completely soaked.

Ho-su, what shirt size do you wear?

It's fine. I have shirts in my office.

I'll get--

How come you haven't sent the document you wanted me to review?

Pardon?

I'm not done with it yet.

Just send what you have so far so I can look at it today.

Here.

Send it right now.

Okay.

[Ho-su] Come in.

[Secretary Hwang chuckles]

Ms. Min asked me to bring this to you.

Gosh, why didn't she just email me?

- Thank you. - It had something in it.

[Ye-rin] Ho-su, I'm sorry about everything.

I'll treat you next time!

Come on. That's not spam.

It's a heart-shaped Post-it. She said she'll treat you!

She feels bad for spilling coffee on me earlier.

I wonder why you only keep bumping into Ms. Min.

Maybe it's because she's always circling around you.

I bump into people all the time.

It's not just people, but also bikes and scooters…

Goodness me. But you're so attentive when it comes to work.

What are you looking for? Painkillers?

Are you going to your mother's place today?

By the way,

why do you always wear that ugly tie whenever you visit her?

I want to look good.

[whimsical music playing]

Here. Here.

Slow down. You're too fast.

[clattering]

[Gyeong-gu] Man, they're all breaking apart.

- Hey-- - Take it.

What's with you today?

GYEONG-GU MART

[grunts] Having failed at life, the least I can do is work hard here.

Someone nagged you again, didn't they?

If anyone bothers you, just say you work at this store.

I said I'd make you the assistant deputy manager.

Are you two finally getting married?

- Jeez. - Jeez.

I said I'd hire her as assistant deputy manager, not marry her.

Assistant to the deputy manager!

[in high-pitched voice] "I hope you two live happily ever after."

[in normal voice] Hey, Mi-ji, I heard today was your last day of cleaning.

Would you be interested in farm work?

Why? Do you need help?

No, not me. It's a place called Changhwa Farm.

It's a strawberry farm.

They're getting rid of their strawberry variety

and planting a new one.

Their daily pay is 200,000 won.

- What? 200,000 won? - They're paying 200,000 won?

- Yes. - Really?

They're planting, not harvesting?

- Right now? - [Myeong-gap] Yes.

[inhales through teeth]

Maybe they're planting something else instead of strawberries.

I don't know.

They said something about shipments. Also, supply and demand…

It's a chance to take advantage of a naive first-year farmer.

[in high-pitched voice] "If you don't want the job, I'll take it!"

No, I'll do it.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

[in normal voice] Then… submit a résumé.

- Huh? A résumé? - [Myeong-gap] Yes.

Take care.

I can't believe I have to submit a résumé to do farm work.

I have nothing to write.

- Of course you do. - Damn it.

If you listed all the jobs you've had, it'd be like a job fair.

I'm not mentioning those day labor jobs.

It has to be official jobs and qualifications, you know.

- Mention your track and field experience. - Jeez.

What's more official than medals?

There's no point in including that.

- [Gyeong-gu] Why? - I can't even run now.

You were on the team for a long time, though.

It's farm work, so emphasize that you have great stamina.

[sighs] Gosh, Mi-rae and I are exactly the same age.

I don't know what I was doing while she became a senior specialist.

If you have nothing to write down, then draw something.

Why are you getting so depressed when you're just applying for farm work?

Don't be so depressed. It's not like you.

Jeez.

[paper rustling]

I'm home.

[sniffs] Hmm?

- [pan hissing] - [Mi-ji] What?

Why are you making jeon when it's not even a holiday?

- [yelps] - Hey! You didn't even wash your hands.

[blows]

What did the vice principal say?

Well…

She told me I didn't get the job I applied for.

Even if I had gotten the job, it would've been a problem.

I can't commute to the Office of Education when the hospital could call at any time.

Anything else? She didn't tell you to keep working?

Mm.

She offered to help me, but I declined.

Have you lost your mind?

You should have accepted her offer.

Why would I steal someone else's job? It's not like I have nothing to do.

The other lady was on sick leave.

Do you know how much I sucked up to Bun-hong for that?

Jeez.

Did you ask her about track and field?

Jeez, don't get started on that again!

Mom, that's a form of bribery.

I'm not even qualified to coach the kids.

What kind of qualification do you need to teach little kids how to run?

Mom, are you looking down on national certifications?

On the government itself?

Did you become an anarchist because of your daughter?

An anarchist? My gosh…

You brat… [breathes deeply]

So…

- What are you going to do now? - Mm.

Bun-hong asked me the same question.

Mom, I actually submitted my résumé today.

There's a strawberry field nearby. They pay a whopping 200,000 won--

You brat!

How long are you going to live like this?

Aren't you embarrassed to face your sister?

Why are you bringing up Mi-rae?

You may live off of me right now, but what will you do when I die?

Then you'll have to live off of her!

I'm not living off of you. I earn enough too!

You can live day to day when you're young.

But when you're old and your body breaks down,

you'll have no insurance, no pension, and no savings.

Once that happens, you'll become a burden to your sister.

Don't worry.

I would rather die than become a burden to Mi-rae.

Unbelievable. [shouts] Where are you going?

Take this next door.

You want me to offer it as a bribe again?

It's the anniversary of her husband's death, remember?

[softly] Hmm.

Why do you care about that when you don't even like her?

Stop mumbling!

Fine! I'll go.

I'm going.

Jeez…

[feet stomping]

My goodness, I can't believe she went through the trouble of making jeon.

Ok-hui acts like a pain in the butt most of the time,

but occasionally, she surprises you with a touching gesture like this.

My gosh.

Mi-ji.

It's such a cute photo, isn't it?

I found it while organizing the album. I just had to frame it.

By the way, is this you or Mi-rae?

You two had the same hairstyle back then, so I can't tell.

[chuckles]

[in singsong] I don't know. Who do you think it is?

[laughs] Oh, come on!

Is Mi-rae seeing anyone these days?

Ho-su is still single.

[chuckles]

[in singsong, tepidly] I don't know. Do you think she's single?

[chuckles]

You ladies have… [in singsong] …so many secrets.

- [cell phone buzzing] - [Bun-hong] Hold on.

Oh, Mi-ji.

You should eat dinner with us. Ho-su said he's almost home.

What?

Ho-su is coming here today?

He was supposed to have an important trial, but--

I should get going!

- You're leaving? - [Mi-ji] Yes.

- Goodbye! - What about the plate?

My gosh. [pants]

- [both gasp] - Jeez, you scared me.

Gosh!

[Mi-ji sighs loudly]

Hey, you…

Why did you jump out of nowhere?

I didn't jump out.

[crickets chirping]

Well…

Then you should've gotten out of the way.

You scared me…

It looks like you've changed your style.

Is this what your mother likes?

Mom said this is what you like.

What?

[gentle music playing]

[Bun-hong] Which of these looks best to you?

What do girls your age like?

They're all too flashy.

Ho-su needs a bright one. He'll be going on blind dates soon.

I see…

This one.

[Bun-hong] Mm.

It looks nice. It will also keep you safe at night.

[chuckles nervously]

You should head in, then.

- Okay. - See you.

Okay.

Mi-ji.

- Yes? - [Ho-su] How…

How is Mi-rae doing?

[music turns quirky, concludes]

Why are you asking me about Mi-rae?

- Because you… - Ask her yourself.

You both live in Seoul.

[sighs] What a jerk.

Ho-su was like that from the moment I met him.

[Mi-ji] Mi-rae!

[quirky music playing]

[Mi-ji] What the heck? Did she leave already?

[grunts]

Hey.

You're the kid who moved in yesterday, right?

You're going to walk?

Hop on. I'll give you a ride.

What the heck?

He's too young to be deaf.

- [teacher] Hi, guys. - [students] Hello, sir.

[music concludes]

His name is Lee Ho-su. He's moved from Seoul.

Be nice to him.

Ho-su, you can go sit in that empty chair.

Can the class president come with me to the teacher's office?

[student] Yes, sir.

[dramatic quirky music playing]

Jeez…

[students chattering]

[Mi-ji] Hey!

Kick the ball over here!

Kick it.

That jerk.

Go get it.

[dramatic quirky music continues]

Maybe he was forced to transfer.

I heard that he wears long sleeves because he has a dragon tattoo.

When I was in the teacher's office,

I heard that he was the top student at his old school.

[Mi-ji] I don't care if he was forced to transfer or if he was the top student.

Why does he ignore people?

Did I do something wrong?

He didn't even give me a chance to do anything wrong.

[sighs]

[music concludes]

Hey, Ho-su. Can you pick up my pen for me?

[exhales]

Stop pretending like you don't hear me. Just pick up my pen.

Hey, Ho-su.

Damn it. [loudly] Are you deaf?

I just asked you to pick up my pen.

Hey, what are you doing over there?

Both of you, come up here.

[pen scribbling]

[Mi-ji] He's such a jerk.

He didn't even bother asking me how I've been all these years.

"How is Mi-rae doing?"

[scoffs]

"Hey, how's Mi-rae?"

- [scoffs] Jeez. - [gentle music playing]

[student] I heard Mi-rae and Ho-su are dating.

They're the top two students in the school,

so the teachers are letting it slide.

[Mi-ji] What were you expecting, Mi-ji?

[sighs]

Of course, Ho-su would ask about Mi-rae, not you.

Would you even have anything to say if he asked how you're doing?

[whimpers]

[music fades]

Did you try contacting Mi-rae today?

I did, but she ignored me.

She said she'd come to see Grandma. Do you think she meant this month?

How would I know? I told you that she ignored me.

Why don't you contact her?

If I do, she might think that I'm asking her to come.

Why don't you ask Mi-rae--

Jeez! [shouting] Why do you keep talking about Mi-rae?

I'm not Mi-rae's spokesperson. Why does everyone ask me about her?

- I don't know her that well anymore. - Why are you yelling?

You're her younger sister. You should know her.

Whatever. Just please leave.

I'll call her, so get out.

- Okay, I'm going. - Get out! Get out!

[Ok-hui] Is her dinner not sitting well or something?

[whining] Jeez!

[pants]

Damn Mi-rae.

[dial tone rings]

[cell phone buzzing]

[cell phone continues buzzing]

[employee 1] I'm telling you what I heard.

Mr. Park is so lucky.

Isn't an overseas training program a fast track to becoming an executive?

[employee 2] He's probably not that happy.

It's not like he's going because he wants to.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Or…

maybe it's justice prevailing.

[dark pensive music playing]

[echoing ticking]

[cell phone buzzing]

MI-JI

[ticking intensifies]

[automated voice] The person you're trying to reach isn't available…

- [scoffs] - [ticking stops]

Jeez.

- [groans] - [music fades]

Isn't it inappropriate to serve red beans for the ancestral rite?

You're right.

It's supposed to keep spirits away.

That's why I refrained from serving it until last year.

But your father's favorite dish was red bean kal-guksu.

I think I'd regret it if I didn't offer him what he liked

just for the sake of the rules. [chuckles]

So this year, I gathered up my courage.

I even got whiskey this year.

[laughs]

[gentle music playing]

From next year on, let's have the temple do it.

I told you I looked into it, so why did you prepare this again?

I told you that it's fine. I'm really okay.

But I…

It's not like I can come here every year.

I feel bad that you have to prepare this all by yourself.

Mm.

I used to wonder why people did this.

I thought it was a waste of time and food.

Why would people go through all this trouble just to comfort the dead?

But now…

I think it's a day for those left behind.

It's a day for them to remember the deceased

and miss them as much as they want.

[chuckles]

Please don't take away that joy from me.

[giggles]

[gentle music continues]

DUSON-RI TOWN HALL

[music fades]

Hey, what's with that outfit? Are you here to have fun?

You probably are. After all, you're only farming as a hobby.

I didn't come here for fun. I came here to get my work hat.

Your strawberry farm is tiny.

Why do you even need a work hat?

Hmm. It's not tiny. I have three greenhouses.

Didn't you only get three boxes of strawberries

from those three greenhouses last year?

DUSON-RI YOUTH ASSOCIATION

[both chuckle]

I probably would've gotten ten times more if it weren't for that organic farming.

Hey, don't blame me.

I didn't threaten you with a knife and tell you to go organic.

You're right.

Stop teasing the kid.

No, why should I?

My only joy in life is teasing him.

Right, Se-jin?

Here.

Okay.

What's that, Se-jin?

Don't tell me that you're hiring workers?

Didn't you say that you were fine doing it all by yourself? [laughs]

Unbelievable. [clicks tongue]

Why did so many people apply?

The pay is high.

You would've gotten over 100 applicants if you hadn't insisted on those résumés.

I still need to see who they are.

We'll be working together for months.

Pass.

[sighs] I'm sorry.

Yeah. Pass.

YU MI-JI

What the heck? Why didn't she put any effort into this?

Oh, Mi-ji?

She may be young, but she's better at farming than you.

Then she should've written that down. What is this?

[inhales]

Hold on. If she's a 30-year-old high school graduate,

then she should be looking for a job, not doing farm work. What's with her?

[inhales]

It doesn't seem like she's undocumented.

Wait. Does she have a record?

Of course not. It's because of her grandmother.

Her grandmother?

I think it was about ten years ago.

Her grandmother suddenly collapsed and had a stroke,

so she refused to go to school or get a job anywhere.

Instead, she took care of her grandmother for several years.

BONGDEOK HOSPITAL

Hello, hello.

[Myeong-gap] She only started doing farm work

after her grandmother was moved to the hospital.

[Mi-ji] Hi, Grandma! Hello.

[Myeong-gap] She always stays in town on weekends

so she can look after her grandmother.

I told her that I'd find her an office job in town,

but she refused the offer.

- I'll help you. - [caregiver] Thanks.

[Myeong-gap] She said she needs to rush to the hospital if anything happens.

She's so dedicated to her when she's just her granddaughter.

She's the opposite of me.

Why would you say that?

Anyway, I did my best picking them, so the rest is up to you.

Okay.

Or you can just do nothing and enjoy yourself for a year.

[birds cawing, chirping]

I'm not playing around.

I'm working really hard.

It's because of the organic farming…

[cow bellowing nearby]

[inhales]

GRADUATED FROM DUSON HIGH

[Se-jin sighs]

THERE'S MORE TO SOMETHING THAN MEETS THE EYE

[sighs]

It's all or nothing.

[doctor] You're always working so hard, Mi-ji.

Doctor.

- I wanted to ask you something. - Yes?

Is it okay if I take my grandmother to get some fresh air this weekend?

Hmm. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure if she's up for that.

Not even somewhere nearby?

What if I take her in a wheelchair?

Mm.

Mm.

Is my grandmother that sick?

[tender music playing]

[doctor] It's not just her age. Because of the stroke,

she's been having trouble talking lately.

So her condition has been unstable.

Grandma, it feels refreshing, right?

- No. - Come on.

You have to admit it feels nice. You must've been feeling icky.

Ms. Kang.

You used to shower three times a day when it was hot.

[inhales sharply] This won't do. I'll come an extra day during the week.

Don't come.

I don't want to see you.

There you go again.

Don't play so hard to get again.

I heard that you don't even poop well on days when I don't come, Grandma.

- Jeez. - Come on.

The doctors tell me everything!

Your caregiver said she has pretty bad rhinitis,

so I let out a silent fart, and she didn't suspect a thing.

- [Wol-sun giggles] - [Mi-ji chuckles]

So please don't bear it alone just because you feel bad.

Okay, Grandma? Promise me.

I can take care of myself.

So please stop coming.

[Mi-ji] What?

I don't want to.

- [growling, kissing] - [Wol-sun grunts]

- [Mi-ji kissing] - My goodness! Stop wiping me.

[Mi-ji giggles]

It feels refreshing, right? I'll wipe down your arms now.

Let's wipe your arms.

Here we go.

[music fades]

[shredder whirring]

[cell phone buzzing]

- [whirring stops] - [cell phone continues buzzing]

MI-JI

[sighs]

What?

Wow, you finally picked up.

Why aren't you reading my texts? Did you block me?

Just get to the point.

I came to see Grandma. The hospital said--

How much do you need?

Wait. What are you talking about? They said her condition has worsened.

Mom said you agreed to visit Grandma. When are you coming?

I'll come when I can. If you have nothing else to say--

[Mi-ji] Hey, do you know how long it's been since you've seen Grandma?

If you don't want to come, then come up with a good excuse.

Don't make Mom and Grandma wait for you when you're not even coming.

[Mi-rae] I told you that I'll handle it.

What are you going to do?

You don't do anything. I'm the one taking care of Grandma.

- I'm just asking you to visit. - No one told you to live like that.

- What? - If you want to stop, then stop.

You chose to live like that.

Hey, Mi-rae.

- [cell phone beeps] - Hello? Hey! Mi-rae!

Has she lost her mind?

[drawer opening]

[melancholic music playing]

[sighs]

[sighs heavily]

[music fades]

[mockingly] "No one told you to live like that."

[scoffs] That little twerp! Jeez!

[Ok-hui] So she said she can't come this time?

Mom, you still don't know what Mi-rae is like, do you?

It's not that she can't, it's that she won't.

If she wanted to come, she would have.

She's just using her work as an excuse.

[Ok-hui] What would you know? You've never worked an office job.

Key departments can't take vacation days whenever they want.

Who cares about those key departments?

[scoffs] What did she say? She'll take care of Grandma?

How is she going to do that if she's not even coming? By Bluetooth?

Jeez, stop!

Mi-rae has done enough already.

Mom, stop taking her side.

She's never washed Grandma's hair or changed her diaper.

So what?

She pays for the caregiver and the hospital.

She even sent her entire bonus for this month.

Money doesn't solve everything.

I'm helping with the caregiver bill, and I'm also paying for living expenses.

And how do you think we're able to live like this?

If it weren't for her, we would've lost this house.

Your sister takes care of everything. You don’t know what the real world's like.

My gosh.

You're just like your father.

Why do you keep saying that as if it's a bad thing?

[chuckling] My goodness.

You didn't say a word when I told you not to live like me.

But you're getting upset over your father?

That wouldn't have sounded like an insult if you had been living properly.

- Am I wrong? - Mom…

I'm not living like this because I want to.

Whatever.

Take this food to Mi-rae tomorrow.

I don't want to. Why should I? Have them delivered.

I'll pay you to deliver them. You don't have anything to do anyway.

Just leave them. I'll pay the courier.

You don't even have a proper job. You should save up. Just go!

I told you that I don't want to! Why do you keep insisting?

I'm not going!

That brat…

You’d better go!

Jeez.

Damn it.

[gate slams]

- [crickets chirping] - [dog barking in distance]

What? Do I look like a maid to you?

Jeez…

- [breathes deeply] - [pensive music playing]

[Mi-ji] Was this thrown away because it deflated?

Or did it deflate because it was thrown away?

Am I living like this because of the way I am?

Or am I like this because of the way I live?

Live a proper life like everyone else?

Do you think that's possible after all this time?

It's not that I won't. It's because I can't.

Not when I'm deflated like this.

No matter how hard I try, it's just impossible.

I know. These are all just pathetic excuses.

Mi-rae was born deflated, but she overcame it.

That's right. I'm to blame.

It's my fault for being deflated.

[Ho-su] Is it okay to kick it that hard?

Why? Are you worried that the ball will pop?

It doesn't matter since it's been thrown away.

- [music fades] - No, I'm talking about your ankle.

I can't even run properly anyway.

Who cares if I make it worse?

About yesterday…

I know I asked out of the blue. But is Mi-rae…

[sighs] If you're going to talk about her, then get lost.

I'm done talking about her today.

- What about her? - Stop!

- [high-pitched ringing] - [Ho-su groans]

[Mi-ji muffled] Ho-su!

Hey. [pants]

I told you to dodge it.

[ringing continues]

[Mi-ji muffled] Why were you just sitting there?

- [groans] - [Mi-ji muffled] Hey.

Does it hurt a lot? Hey.

Did it hit your ear? Let me see.

[Ho-su breathing heavily]

Jeez.

Are you okay?

Breathe slower. Take it easy.

It's okay.

Oh man…

[serene music playing]

[student] Hey, Mi-ji!

[sighs]

Hey, I'm leaving!

- [music fades] - [Ho-su panting]

[Mi-ji] Hey.

Hey.

Let's go see a doctor. I don't want you blaming me later.

Don't follow me.

I'm not following you. I live next door to you.

[pants]

Why are you walking like that, though? Did you get a concussion?

Why do you care how I walk? Mind your own business and go away.

[sighs]

Hey.

Why do you hate me so much?

What did I ever do to you besides kick a ball at your head today?

If I did something wrong, then tell me, and I'll apologize.

Are you deaf?

I'm talking to you!

[Ho-su grunts]

[gasps]

Hey, are you okay?

[Ho-su] You're right. I'm crippled!

Are you enjoying making fun of me?

[pensive music playing]

[Ho-su breathing shakily]

[sighs]

[music fades]

He nearly died in a car accident.

Half of his body was practically destroyed.

He was burned and has a hearing impairment.

His leg is made of artificial bone.

What?

How do you know that?

His mom told me on the morning he transferred.

- She asked me to help him at school. - Wait.

Then you should've told me that.

It's best that people don't know.

I wouldn't want people prying into my life just because they know my weakness.

[sighs]

- He's too young to be deaf. - [dramatic quirky music playing]

Oh my gosh.

Hey!

Hey, Ho-su!

[loudly] Are you deaf?

Oh no…

Why are you walking like that, though?

Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!

You're right. I'm crippled!

Are you enjoying making fun of me?

Oh no. I had no idea…

I feel so bad.

[whines]

I feel terrible. What should I do?

Mi-rae.

[groans]

[music continues, fades]

[dog barking in distance]

They said they don't have any ice.

Hey…

Are you okay? Is there a ringing again?

I can't hear anyway.

It doesn't matter if it gets worse.

Hey, don't say things like that.

Is it weird that I'm repeating what you said?

It's fine. I don't even get a ringing in this ear now.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Keep it on your ear.

[grunts softly]

You haven't changed.

What do you mean?

Just everything.

You seem stronger, though.

When did you get so bold?

How have you been?

Same old, same old.

What were you saying about Mi-rae?

What?

You were talking about Mi-rae yesterday.

Right.

I ran into her recently, and it seemed like…

she was having a hard time.

Do you know what's wrong with her?

It's because she's busy.

Her body is weak, but she's forced to work herself to the bone.

If you're that worried about her, you should ask her yourself.

She ran away the moment she saw me.

Mi-rae ran away from you?

She doesn't like anyone seeing her weak.

You should try calling her.

I spoke to her today.

But we're not close enough for her to share her troubles with me.

At least you ran into her. I haven't seen her for over a year.

We're worse than strangers now.

In the past…

your grandmother told me something.

She said that when Mi-rae was young

and her hospital stay got extended,

the family took turns keeping her company.

She said that Mi-rae looked forward to your turn the most.

Me?

Why?

I think she was comfortable around you.

When she was with you,

she was okay with showing her weak side.

[tender music playing]

[young Mi-ji] Mi-rae.

- Does it hurt again? Why are you crying? - [Ho-su] Even when she was in pain…

- I don't know. - …or getting a shot, she never cried.

- I don't know either. - [Ho-su] She only cried in front of you…

- I want to stop now. - …because she didn't need to hold back.

Maybe…

she's still like that.

[tender music continues]

We were kids back then. Things aren't as easy between us anymore.

No, I'm sure you can fix things.

You even became friends with me…

when I was scary back in the day.

[tender music continues]

[sighs]

[groans]

[Ho-su] No matter how bad things get…

you two are closest to each other.

[music concludes]

[traffic honking]

[Ok-hui] Keep the yeolmu-kimchi and the kkakdugi out on the side.

And put the rest of the food in the fridge, okay?

Put just a small serving of the beef bone soup in the fridge

- and the rest in the freezer. - Jeez, I'm not some housekeeper.

Whatever. Let her deal with it.

I'm just going to give it to her. That's it.

[gasps]

[groans]

[pants]

I'm sorry, Mi-ji. My meeting went on and on.

Why did you run here?

- You're done soon, right? - [Mi-rae] Yes.

- Mom told me to-- - Hey, did you eat?

- Let's go. - Of course, look at the time.

- Is it okay for you to leave? - [Mi-rae] Let's get coffee.

It tastes good, right?

On weekends, people wait up to an hour for this place.

Have you ever tried a soufflé pancake?

They're famous for it. Do you want anything else to drink?

Hey, calm down. I can't eat anymore.

Then just eat what you can.

I'll order for us, okay? Excuse me.

[Ho-su] I ran into her recently, and it seemed like

- she was having a hard time. - Can we get one of these?

- Thank you. - Okay.

Hey, is it okay for you to stay out this long?

- I don't want to get you in trouble-- - It's okay. I'm done with my work today.

- [glass shatters] - [waitress yelps]

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry for the disturbance.

[waitress groans]

- [manager] Are you okay? - [waitress whimpering]

[waitress] I'm sorry.

[manager] You can't work like this. Go to the hospital first. Come here.

I'm sorry.

[inhales] She's so lucky. She gets to go home.

[whispers] Hey.

What's so good about getting hurt and going to the hospital?

I'm sure every office worker would be jealous.

We've all had those thoughts.

Maybe an office fire or being grazed by a bus,

just serious enough to leave work.

Oh, jeez.

Why would you imagine things like that?

And what about the poor bus driver?

[chuckles softly]

You're right. We shouldn't cause trouble for others.

So I gave this some thought.

I think falling from just the right height would be the best option.

It wouldn't be life-threatening, and other people wouldn't be affected.

The second floor would be too low. The third floor may be just right.

If you toss a blanket down as a cushion beforehand,

then you can claim that you fell while you were shaking it out.

Is this some kind of psychopath test?

Theoretically, my calculation is perfect.

Hey, should I use this opportunity to go see Grandma?

Just take a vacation instead of thinking about jumping.

What about quitting instead of taking a vacation?

Sure, that sounds great. Just quit.

It would be great for both of us to be unemployed.

[chuckles]

[exhales]

Hey.

Are you serious?

But you worked so hard to get into that company.

Did something happen?

Maybe I can move to a better company.

What's better than your company?

Your salary is high, and you don't have to worry about getting fired.

Wait… Do you want to take the civil service exam again?

[exhales]

It's just that this is so out of the blue.

You should just take a leave of absence instead.

What's the point? It's just going to be the same when I return.

But you'll feel better if you take a break.

I heard that office workers experience… What's it called?

Burnout. They say people experience burnout.

Just take a vacation first. If you rest, things will get better.

And if they don't get better?

Life isn't meant to be perfect.

It's about enduring when things don't go right.

[exhales]

Remember Mom, who's always supported you, and keep your job.

Mom practically fainted when you gave up on the civil service exam.

If you quit your job too, she'll definitely pass out this time.

Hey, you can't go off the rails just because I am.

[sighs]

I wish I could live like you.

[exhales]

How can you say that to someone who's unemployed?

I mean it.

[Mi-ji] She was acting a bit strange, but she didn't seem to be struggling.

- [paper towels rustling] - [dispenser clangs]

What the heck?

Sir, did the girl who was sitting here go somewhere?

She paid and left a moment ago.

[Mi-ji] What?

She left without telling me?

Damn it. Are you kidding me?

She didn't take the food!

Whatever. I'll let her deal with this.

[cell phone buzzing]

No way. Are you kidding me?

[groans] Jeez.

[receptionist] Okay.

They said she didn't come to work today.

What? But she said she came from work earlier.

That was the Planning Strategy Team, right?

[receptionist] Yes.

They said Ms. Yu didn't come to work today.

She was absent without any prior notice.

[suspenseful music playing]

I need to use the restroom.

[Mi-rae] So I gave this some thought.

I think falling from just the right height would be the best option.

It wouldn't be life-threatening, and other people wouldn't be affected.

The second floor would be too low.

The third floor may be just right.

If you toss a blanket down as a cushion beforehand,

then you can claim that you fell while you were shaking it out.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

[panting]

[Mi-ji] Burnout. They said people experience burnout.

Just take a vacation first. If you rest, things will get better.

[chuckles]

And if they don't get better?

Mi-rae!

- [whimpers] - Hey!

[Mi-rae grunting]

- [Mi-ji] Hey! - Let go of me!

[grunts, sobbing] Let go, Mi-ji!

[Mi-rae groaning, yelling]

[leaves rustle]

- [Mi-ji groans] - [music fades]

[Mi-ji panting]

[groans]

Mi-rae…

[groaning] Mi-rae! Hey!

Mi-rae, are you okay?

Hey, talk to me!

[groans]

[Mi-ji sobbing]

You crazy bitch!

Did you want to die that badly?

[panting] You idiot.

I wasn't trying to die.

I told you that I calculated everything. Why did you get in my way?

[shouting] You calculated everything? You call this blanket your calculation?

And why would you calculate something like this?

[sobs] You're terrified of heights.

[shouting] Why the heck did you even think about jumping from there?

- You told me to endure it. - [melancholic music playing]

You said everyone else does, so I was trying to do that.

If what I said pissed you off that much, then you should've slapped me instead.

Did you do this to make me regret it for the rest of my life?

You nearly died! [shouting] Do you realize that?

You could've really died!

You idiot.

If you knew that, then you should've let go of my hand.

Why did you fall with me?

How could I let go?

How could I let go of your hand?

[Mi-ji sobbing intensely]

[sobs]

[shouting] If you die…

how am I supposed to go on?

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Mi-ji.

I'm so sorry.

[both sobbing]

KOREA FINANCE MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

[music concludes]

Excuse me.

- [thud] - [employee groans]

You came early.

This desk…

It's a bit wobbly.

[groans] There we go.

[chuckles]

I didn't want you dealing with a wobbly desk on your first day.

[tender music playing]

I'm Kim Su-yeon.

- [Mi-ji] According to Mi-rae… - I'm Yu Mi-rae.

…her direct senior at work was very different from her.

[Su-yeon] You can sit here now…

Thank you.

[traffic honking]

[Mi-ji] Someone who never ignores something

when everyone else looks the other way.

[tender music continues]

[paper rustling]

[chuckles softly]

I picked up a lot today, didn't I?

[Mi-ji] Someone whose pocket was always full of trash that people just threw out.

My family calls me "the trash lady."

You still have a lot of work left.

I'll help you with it.

It's okay. You can go home.

That's what senior coworkers are for.

Do the same for your junior coworker in the future.

[Mi-ji] She was a rare find, a kind and warm-hearted person.

Thanks to Su-yeon,

it was the first time Mi-rae felt happy she'd joined this company.

And soon after…

[team leader] Are you seriously calling this an evaluation?

- Do you think you're all that? - [music fades]

I was just following protocol…

[shouting] You think I don't know the protocol?

Re-do it.

[somber music playing]

[Mi-ji] Su-yeon, who found it hard to pretend not to have seen something,

became a target of workplace bullying when she refused to turn a blind eye

to a superior's wrongdoing.

[somber music continues]

[music fades]

- [employee 1] Come on, let's have lunch. - [employee 2] Let's go eat.

[employee 3] Okay.

Mi-rae.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Uh…

[pensive music playing]

[Mi-ji] The bullying became increasingly obvious and cruel.

Su-yeon became an invisible member of the team.

Mi-rae was too scared,

so she never found the courage to reach out to her.

[printer whirring]

[employee] How could she backstab the director

who's about to become an executive?

I knew she would get into big trouble one day.

I can't believe she humiliated her own team.

[Mi-ji] The moment Mi-rae heard that Su-yeon blew the whistle on her boss,

she thought of Su-yeon's pocket for some reason.

[paper rustling]

[Mi-ji] Her pocket had always been full of trash

because she could never just let things pass by.

Mi-rae kept thinking about that small, shallow pocket.

So for the first time in her life, she meddled in someone else's business.

[pensive music continues]

It's all true.

[music swells, fades]

[Mi-ji] I wish the ending were like a fairytale,

where the kind and brave prevail.

Mi-rae thought that Su-yeon would fight with her.

But she quit before they were even done reporting the wrongdoing.

- [pensive music playing] - [sighs]

[Mi-ji] And Su-yeon's empty desk became Mi-rae's.

- [team leader] Let's go eat. - [employees] Sure!

[employees chattering]

[employee 1] Are you treating us today, sir?

[employees laughing]

- [employee 2] What should we eat? - [employee 3] Stir-fried pork?

- [employee 4] That sounds good. - [employee 5] I like it.

- [employee 6] I'll eat by myself. - [employee 5] What? Why?

[shredder whirring]

[pensive music continues]

- [music fades] - [sirens wailing in distance]

Why didn't you say anything until now?

Telling you about it wasn't going to solve anything.

- [sighs] - [Mi-rae] To be honest…

I just couldn't bring myself to go to work when I woke up today.

That's why I skipped work without any prior notice

and was staring at the ceiling all day.

But then I saw your text, and I ran to the office.

But when you went to use the restroom,

my coworkers came into the cafe.

[chuckles softly]

I don't even remember how I got home.

I ran away as soon as I saw them.

[exhales]

[Mi-rae] But when I came home,

I realized that I had to go to work tomorrow.

That's why I did that. It wasn't because of you.

Then those jerks bullied you for a year

just because you said that during the interview?

People don't need a lot of reasons to hate someone.

Did you try telling the company?

I heard there are a lot of policies now to address bullying.

They're very conniving.

There's no way for me to prove it.

And no one will believe me either.

Resign right now.

If you don't, I'll pretend to be you and resign.

It's not that simple.

[sighs]

I took out a company loan.

I need to repay the full amount the moment I quit.

Tell Mom about it.

Why did you decide to take on our family's debt in the first place?

We got into debt because I was sick.

[sighs]

There's going to be a team reshuffle soon anyway.

- I just need to last until then… - Why would you put up with this?

Even if you do last, you'll be stuck in the same hellhole.

Hey, move to a different company.

I'm sure many companies will want you.

It's hard to transfer out of a public corporation.

It's not easy to get my experience recognized either.

I'll be starting over in the job market.

Then just start again.

I'll help out until you get a job.

You want me to just leave and start over?

That sounds more hellish to me.

Then what are you going to do?

You won't move to another company or quit your current one.

But I know you won't be able to endure this any longer.

Forget about everything else. Just think about yourself.

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

What?

[voice trembling] I don't know either.

[melancholic music playing]

I don't know either.

I don't know either.

[sniffles]

[Mi-rae sniffling]

Hey.

[sobs]

[sighs]

[Mi-Rae sobs]

- [music fades] - [crickets chirping]

Will you really be okay?

I told you I'll be fine.

You know that my only talent is being healthy.

Anyway, are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?

You know that my special talent is enduring things.

- Hey. - I'm kidding.

[breathes deeply]

I feel better after talking to you about it.

Take care of yourself instead of worrying about me.

Mi-rae, I think I should just…

Go.

I feel more comfortable being alone.

Here comes the bus.

Call me when you get home.

And make sure you answer when I call you.

[Mi-rae] Okay.

[brakes squealing, hissing]

[doors squeaking, closing]

[Mi-ji] This is why your name is so important.

My life starts spiraling whenever something unknown comes up.

- [melancholic music playing] - [student 1] Pass, pass, pass.

Nice. Good catch.

- I'm sorry. - [student 2] What are you doing?

[student 1] What?

Why are you acting like that when I apologized?

[Mi-ji] When you think you know it all, everything seems simple and obvious.

[student 1] Hey.

[Mi-ji] But when you think you don't know enough,

everything becomes complicated.

See? Even now, I'm analyzing her body language from behind.

[melancholic music continues]

I'm sure she aimed the ball at me.

She's a better kicker than I am.

She said it was a mistake.

Look, sir. How is this a mistake? [groans]

- [inhales, groans] - [coach] Keep your arms up!

[Mi-ji] When my heart reaches that point, I tend to make rash decisions.

[music intensifies]

[sighs]

[running footsteps]

[Mi-ji] Mi-rae!

[Mi-ji panting]

- So this is all… - Damn it.

…because of my name.

- [grunts] - [music fades]

[panting heavily]

Don't quit or endure it.

You…

I'll do it for you, like we did in the past.

What?

I'll live as you.

You live as me.

YU MI-RAE

[Se-jin] Come to the strawberry farm by two o'clock.

Hello.

[man] You came to play along with a crazy guy?

Pardon?

[Mi-rae] Promise me you won't act up and you'll lay low.

[team leader] She's acting odd today, right?

By accepting confidential information, you're implicitly agreeing. Choose wisely.

[Mi-ji] Ho-su? Don't meet him. What if he figures it out?

[Chung-gu] Are you worried because she was a classmate?

Mi-rae?

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