Ji Song, did you finish last month's reports?

(Expense Report Summary)

Here you are.

- And the approval forms? - They're right here.

I also verified the tax invoices.

And the monthly closing reports...

have been updated on the server.

Also, I've compiled a breakdown of each team's expenses right here.

Gosh. Ji Song, you're on fire today.

I'm taking the afternoon off to go pick up my boyfriend.

What? Assistant Manager Oh is off this afternoon too.

On a busy day, of all times.

Right.

I can't just give up that easily.

Here we go.

Hi, there. Are you here for new glasses?

- No, contacts. - Contacts?

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Taxi...

What?

Did he already land?

Hey!

Wait, what? Why are you in your pajamas?

Sorry, Ji Song.

My mom is sick. I had to cancel the trip.

So I can't go.

What? But I bought this scarf for your mom.

But even if she couldn't come, you should have come by yourself.

I don't have money.

I have no money.

Is it a fortune to fly here from China?

You can't even afford a plane ticket?

Actually, I bought new shoes.

What?

They're beautiful, so they were a bit expensive.

- But... - Sorry, Ji Song.

Let's just see each other next time, okay?

Seriously? Am I in this relationship by myself or something?

Why am I always the only one putting in all the effort?

I know this is petty,

but how often have you visited Korea while dating me?

To be blunt, I love nice things more than you do.

But I have never once...

prioritized a stupid pair of shoes over you.

Why am I always second to shoes?

Why am I always "next time?"

Tell me.

Do you even love me?

Sorry, Ji Song.

But I don't understand.

How can you not understand this?

Why can you never understand what I'm saying?

Let's just end this.

I'm exhausted too.

Are you okay?

- Oh, my. - Excuse me?

My gosh!

Wait. Ji Song!

Gosh.

(Episode 9: The Turning Point)

What do you think? It's nice, right?

It's a singing style called scat.

It's a form of jazz singing that started in the early 20th century.

I'm just making conversation. I'm not trying to show off.

Louis Armstrong was the most famous for that, wasn't he?

What's this?

I did a little research online yesterday.

I am dating a musician, after all.

Gosh, what?

Hello, Mr. Ko.

- Da Hae? - Just go.

Why are you acting like this?

- I'm a bit late. - It's okay.

And here I was worried.

Are you okay?

- Back when Eun Sang was ready to... - Da Hee!

Where have you two been?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Gosh, that scared me.

We should've come here sooner.

This place is great, isn't it?

What's so amazing about a place where you can't see a thing?

- I like it because we can't see. - You mean you like not being seen.

What is this? It's a door!

Da Hae, I found the door!

Da Hae, why aren't you saying anything?

Da Hae?

Da Hae? Why aren't you answering?

Oh, my!

Oh, no.

Are you okay? Wait. I'm sorry.

You really scared me.

Let me see.

That was terrifying.

Thank you.

Come on, don't worry. We're safe here.

- No one can see us. - I know, but still.

What are you, a spy?

- What? - It'd be easier to meet a real spy.

Why does our relationship have to be such a huge secret?

Come on. Don't say that. You know exactly why.

So, you don't like it?

Of course I...

It's my phone.

It's Ju Man.

(Byeon Ju Man)

I really hope you actually like me.

What?

- I'm always exhausted on Mondays. - I know.

I just wish we could...

- Hey, look. Over there. - What? What is it?

What...

When did we have a wholesome, handsome guy...

working at our company?

Isn't that Mr. Oh from Accounting?

- What? - What?

- Let's start the meeting. - Okay.

Okay.

Ji Song, could you get two coffees, please?

Coffee?

Yes. Our team's meeting is starting, but the break room is out of coffee.

It should've been restocked, but it's completely empty.

Just as I thought.

What?

Be it love or coffee beans.

I suppose they all run out eventually.

Until there's nothing left.

Okay. Sure.

You don't have to go far.

Please get two black coffees from the machine.

- Mr. Song doesn't take sugar. - That's going to be very bitter.

What?

But you get used to it, I suppose.

It's tough at first, but over time,

the bitterness of coffee and the bitterness of a breakup,

you get used to it all.

You just do.

Sure. I sure hope so.

Mr. Oh, would you like some coffee?

- I'll... - I'll be right back!

A snack subscription service?

Yes. A curated box, personalized to taste.

We're offering more than just snacks.

We give them a tailored experience.

But isn't it a stretch to position our snacks as high-end?

Not necessarily.

People don't buy expensive things just for the product itself.

I recently had dinner at a place in Gangnam called Eclat...

Eclat?

Isn't that a really famous place?

That place must be pretty expensive.

It was a little hard to get a reservation.

Once I was there, it all made sense.

Everything from how the table was set...

to the chef coming out to explain the dishes.

It made me feel like I wasn't just there to eat.

How should I put it? It made me feel like I was someone special.

So you're saying the snack box...

can give consumers that same kind of special feeling.

Exactly. The personalized snack box isn't just about sending snacks.

It's about sending the customer a message that they're special.

That's why the packaging should also be special.

I was thinking, what if we incorporated works of art?

I recently went to an exhibition for an artist named Taylor Han.

Taylor Han?

I like that artist too.

No way!

You go to art exhibitions, Da Hae?

Why are you only asking me that and not Da Hee?

Oh, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just surprised, that's all.

Go ahead.

Nice work.

Good work, everyone.

Good work.

Hey, Da Hae.

You're on a roll lately.

- Thanks. - Yes, for real.

That was a great idea today.

Good work!

Mr. Ko was totally blown away.

What's that?

It's nothing.

Da Hee, could I get the Cocomishu proposal?

Sure.

(Jung Da Hae)

Hey, Eun Sang. What brings you here?

- The copier on our floor is broken. - I see.

What? Is she broken too?

Gosh, she scared me!

What's she doing?

What are you doing?

Getting some coffee.

Two cups.

Two cups?

Looks more like 20 cups to me.

What?

What? When did all this...

What's with you guys?

Did you multiply or something?

For crying out loud.

Nurse Jung, handle this.

Yes, ma'am!

Ma'am? I need you to look right here.

Look at these crypto gains, okay?

Our day has finally come.

- You can't lose it now. - What?

It's going up!

I have to call Wei Lin...

No, wait.

I shouldn't do that, right?

I can't.

I can't.

I shouldn't do it. Why would I make that call?

No, I can't. I shouldn't do it.

I shouldn't do it.

Hey!

You're going to fall!

She's completely lost it.

How long do you think she'll be like this?

That relationship she made such a huge deal about just ended.

So, for a while, I'd guess?

Anyway, where are you off to? And what's that you've got?

Actually, I'm about to make a big deal out of something myself.

Get out of here.

What?

He's not here.

There.

A surprise like this is what makes dating fun, right?

We need to nail down the ad concept for this season.

Yes, go ahead.

We need to check consumer feedback beforehand...

so our marketing team...

can accurately define our target audience.

So you're saying you need the data.

So we can align our strategy.

Right, of course.

So, what's the deadline for the consumer review data?

To make the fall season deadline, we need it by October at the latest.

Really? October...

October?

- Gosh! October! - What? Why?

- October. - What is it?

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

No! It's just that...

I just mean that October might be a little tight.

I see.

Our rivals...

- are releasing products too, - Get him to leave.

so delays put us in a tough spot.

Okay, let's take all the time we can...

to prepare and get things in order.

- Thanks for coming. - Okay. Are you sure you're okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Wait a minute.

Goodness.

I've had a lot on my mind lately.

- One worry leads... - What are you doing?

- to another. - Get him to leave.

- And then another, and another. - Make him leave.

How should I put this?

Look, whatever it is, just go with your gut.

It's like taking a test.

Your first guess is usually the right answer.

Dr. Ham, you're absolutely right.

Just like my gut instinct,

I'll grind my team...

- into the ground. - What?

No, I didn't mean grind... What am I talking about?

I need to change the system.

I'll have them write 20 reports a day,

and make them...

- brainstorm ideas nonstop. - Tell him no.

Making them work overtime like crazy.

That was my gut instinct.

Just like making soup stock, I'll keep simmering them down...

- for those rich, savory ideas... - Maybe you should...

rethink that.

That "first guess is right" thing...

What's wrong? Are you hurt? What's the matter?

Where does it hurt? Let me help you.

Mr. Ko, just a second.

Wait, hold on. Mr. Ko, just give me a second.

- I hit my knee. - Let me just...

- It's Jung Da Hee. - I think...

No, wait. Just a second.

I'm fine. It'll just take a second.

Just a second. Wait.

- Just a second. - I heard you called for me, so I...

Oh, my, what in the world...

Dr. Ham, what are you doing?

You're confusing me.

- Gosh. - Oh, dear.

I got dizzy all of a sudden. Maybe it's anemia?

Anemia? Oh, dear.

So it was your anemia all along. Of course. The anemia.

Da Hee, come over here.

She's the one in charge of our new Cocomishu project.

I thought it'd be better to discuss this in person.

You really didn't have to come all this way.

This is the new Cocomishu proposal.

Please take a look.

Oh, no.

Da Hee. You overworked and skipped meals.

Goodness, you must be starving...

What?

What's this?

- That's... - You prepared snacks for us.

Thank you so much. That's so thoughtful of you.

- Oh, gosh. - Da Hee, here, eat this for now.

Thank you.

Da Hee!

Eat it right there.

You need to eat quickly so you can get back to work.

Okay. Thank you.

Take your time. Eat slowly.

- Sure. - Now,

about our new product proposal...

I'll explain it in detail.

Da Hee?

Da Hee!

Yes.

Yes. Understood.

What did they say? What happened?

Well, for now, someone from the distributor...

has agreed to visit tomorrow.

Darn it.

I heard their MD was replaced,

but I never imagined they'd refuse to carry our new product.

We must get it on their shelves. Our bonuses are on the line.

Let's propose a joint NPB deal so they have to carry our product.

I have to make this a success so I can buy more crypto...

- What did you just say? - What?

Nothing.

So, how's that NPB product strategy report coming along?

Gosh! Eun Sang!

Do you have any idea how long we've been in this business?

Eun Sang, we're experts at this.

- Just trust us on this. - Sure.

Well done.

You got the product identity...

- and production schedule right, - Yes.

but you put down the wrong product for the presentation.

We talked about Butter Cracker, not granola bars.

Right. It was crackers.

I guess I have to do everything around here.

- What on earth did you do? - Sorry?

What did you do to the cookies?

What did you put in them?

What do you mean? I didn't put anything in them.

It was just cake flour and peanut butter.

I followed a YouTube video exactly.

And you didn't add a little love?

- I'm so disappointed. - Are you kidding me right now?

How's Da Hee doing?

She seems to be okay after the IV drip.

The real problem is Mr. Ko.

Mr. Ko? Why?

This is a crime!

No matter how I look at it,

Da Hee just got caught in the middle.

It's a premeditated crime against Dr. Ham.

It's hardly a crime.

- That's right. - It's a crime.

A perfect, premeditated crime.

We can't let them get away with it.

What's with this sudden teamwork?

Let's go to the security office.

Pull up all the CCTV footage,

and plaster that criminal's face everywhere.

They need to be thrown in jail.

- Mr. Ko! - Gosh, you scared me. What?

- What is it? - Well...

How about we all get a snack?

- Out of the blue? - I've been meaning...

to treat everyone to something,

but I haven't had the chance.

And as it happens, a new cafe just opened up nearby.

You know the one, right? Bread High, that new hot spot.

You mean that Bread High?

How about some iced Americanos and macadamia cookies for everyone?

I'm in.

- Me too. - Sounds delicious.

And for you, Mr. Ko, I'll get you a special custom order.

An espresso shot with a splash of low-fat milk...

and a single drop of vanilla syrup.

The Ko Dae Young Special.

- A special? - Yes.

All right then,

let's grab some coffee first.

Let's go.

- Come on, grab your stuff. - Alright.

But Da Hee, I don't think they deliver. Is that okay?

- And it looks like it might rain. - What?

They don't deliver?

Darn it!

I can't believe one relationship is causing all this trouble.

Gosh!

Are you awake?

Dr. Ham.

They said they needed to run a few more tests.

I feel fine.

Have you been here this whole time?

It happened in my office,

so I should take some responsibility.

No. Whoever left the cookies is to blame.

What?

(Byeon Ju Man)

You should get that. I'll be quiet.

No, it's fine.

Is that your girlfriend?

I'd hate for her to hear my voice and get the wrong idea.

I do have a girlfriend,

but this is just one of my guy friends.

I knew it. You give off the vibe you're taken.

What? What are you smiling about?

To be honest,

I secretly thought you and Da Hae would make a great couple.

But now that you've told me you have a girlfriend,

I feel a little silly for thinking that.

Why? Do we really look good together?

You do to me.

I'll just have to set Da Hae up with someone even better, then.

Why set her up with a guy?

Why do you worry about every little thing like that?

Because I enjoy looking out for people like that.

That's just how I am.

I figured Ms. Jung probably has a boyfriend.

No.

Da Hae told me she wasn't seeing anyone.

Come on, that could just be what she says. Just words.

If she were, you'd be able to tell,

but I haven't seen any signs.

It's not that obvious?

No. Don't you think?

Da Hae told me she's not seeing anyone.

If she were, you'd be able to tell,

but I haven't seen any signs.

Hey, it's me.

Where are you?

I'm still at the office.

The office?

I have a lot of work to do covering for Da Hee.

I have to rewrite the report too.

Wait, why are you doing that?

She's in this mess because of me. Should I just look the other way?

I told you not to call me at work. What if we get caught?

Hold on.

Let me just ask you one thing.

What is it?

Now that things are like this,

will you ever...

- tell people about us? - Da Hae!

I'm hanging up.

(Call ended)

Here's the data on the Cocomishu. Could you make a PowerPoint summary?

- All of this? - It can't be helped.

I was worried with Da Hee being out,

but you're a real lifesaver, Da Hae. Thanks.

Wait, this one's mine.

You're welcome.

I'm just reaping what I sowed.

All right, let's wrap this up first.

Cocomishu...

Welcome. How many are in your party?

This way to table three, please.

Welcome. How many are in your party?

Have a reservation? Name, please?

What are you doing?

I'm about to unleash this train wreck.

What choice do I have?

I'm trying for a job at the BBQ place.

So I'm practicing just in case.

I've had a lot on my mind lately.

Your song was way more grating.

I've got a problem. I need your advice.

Call a helpline. Try the city's complaint line.

- It's about a secret relationship. - Break up.

- But they have their reasons. - Split up.

They work at the same company. The guy's in a higher position.

- She feels pressured by that. - Just give up already!

If you can't beat it with effort, you have to know when to give up.

Do you feel better holding on, making all these excuses?

Is this about my relationship or music?

It's all an obsession, you punk.

Things that are pointless, things that are meaningless...

You'll destroy yourself clinging to things like that.

She likes me too, you know.

It's not some pointless relationship.

She even baked me cookies and wrote me a letter.

A letter?

Right. The letter.

Yes, I'm at the Sano Building.

I'll have a small tuna sashimi and...

Hold on a second.

You want a drink now, don't you?

Should I get a large tuna and a bottle of kaoliang?

You jerk. You got a death wish?

Sorry, I'll order next time.

- The letter. Where did I put it? - Thank you.

Oh, it's at the office.

Where are you going?

Hey, where are you going?

Ji Woo?

("Master's Sales Skills")

(Team Leader Cheon Dong Il)

Eun Sang, where's the NPB planning list?

Eun Sang, do I include sales data for existing products as well?

I can't deal with these guys.

Hey, why won't you eat anything?

Are you crying?

What's so great about love anyway?

I'm going to bed.

At least turn off the TV...

You could at least turn off the TV. Goodness.

There's nothing a soldier can't do! We push through with guts and grit!

We overcome with the spirit of a soldier!

(Ranger PT's Crown Jewel, Exercise 8)

Gosh, they can actually do that.

We push through with guts and grit!

That will do.

Oh, my.

What's wrong with your face?

Sir, if you'll permit me, I have a proposal for our team.

Permission granted.

What we need...

is the spirit of a soldier, sir!

- What? - What?

To focus on our objective and waste no time,

for maximum efficiency and teamwork, we need the spirit of a soldier!

We all need to approach our work...

with the discipline of soldiers, sir.

On that note, I will now commence the mission briefing, sir.

Hold on. Isn't this military act going too far?

Our team leader is right here too.

This company commander is deeply moved.

Mr. Cheon?

I love the military style!

It brings back memories!

That's right. You were in the ROTC, weren't you?

The market analysis is insufficient!

By 3:05 p.m. today,

you will each research five case studies.

If we don't come up with a proper response,

we will not secure this contract, sir!

How are we supposed to get that done by 3 p.m.?

Roll to the left.

Why is my body moving on its own? Oh, my.

- Roll to the right! - Roll to the right.

Can't you do it properly?

Why aren't you joining him?

- My gosh, I... - Roll to the left.

- Roll to the left. - Roll to the left.

- Left. - Left is this way.

Right. Roll to the left.

Roll to the right!

Roll to the right.

Darn it!

Our performance bonuses are on the line.

We'll do this with grit and guts. Understood?

- Yes, ma'am! - I can't hear you! Understood?

- Yes! - Yes!

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm really fine, so you don't need to worry about me.

- I'm sorry for worrying you. - Don't be.

Did you finish organizing the Cocomishu data?

I'll go get it for you right now.

Get some rest.

Da Hee?

Da Hae.

Are you feeling any better?

I'm totally fine.

By the way, I heard you covered for me yesterday.

I'm so sorry about that.

- It's no big deal. I was fine. - Today, I was going to...

No, never mind.

Let me buy you lunch tomorrow.

I have to stop by the security office at lunch.

The security office? Why?

Dr. Ham's office...

isn't a place just anyone can get into,

and we don't even know who left those cookies.

To just end up on his desk like that...

It just seems like a security risk for the company.

I think I need to look into it.

Is all that really necessary?

What was that?

It was nothing.

Hey, should I go for you?

Since you're still not feeling...

That's perfect.

It'd be even better if you came with me.

I was a little scared to go alone.

What?

Together?

Ji Song, did you send that fax?

Yes.

You didn't send 20 pages at once like yesterday, did you?

Of course not.

I scheduled it to send just the pages you asked for.

We're all out of paper. I need to refill the printer paper.

I'll be right back.

Hey... Ji Song.

Hey, Ji Song!

Why does she keep...

You must be thrilled, Mr. Oh.

Sorry?

Ji Song is obviously avoiding you.

Why would I be happy about that?

You really don't get women at all.

Don't you see?

Now that you've gotten so handsome,

Ji Song is just being shy around you.

And she has a particular weakness for handsome men.

Really?

Seems like it.

I guess your crush...

isn't one-sided anymore.

What? No way.

Gosh, it's exhausting trying to avoid him all the time.

I might as well just disappear.

What? No way.

She wants to watch the security footage with you?

- What do I do? - Gosh.

How about getting your story straight with Dr. Ham?

Say he ordered cookies and forgot.

Just say you ran an errand for him.

- I can't. - Why not?

Because I didn't just go there once or twice.

If she goes back a few days on the CCTV footage,

she'll even see us holding hands in the hall.

- What if she sees that? - Gosh.

Just say your hand was heavy, so Dr. Ham was helping you carry it.

But I even had my arm around him.

Your arms were heavy,

so you just rested them on his shoulder.

Just say you rested them there like this.

We kissed too.

Because your lips were heavy...

No, wait. Never mind.

Seriously? Messing around at work?

Even I don't do that anymore.

What am I going to do?

Wait a second.

(Marketing Team Jung Da Hee)

Oh, no. It's Da Hee calling.

- Just go. - Go on.

- Da Hae. - Go on.

You're coming with me.

Where?

- Failure is not an option! Yes? - What?

- Yes? - Come!

Where? Where are you taking me?

Yes.

But we can't check the CCTV footage for every single day.

We just need yesterday's footage...

from the 18th-floor hallway.

But you know,

we don't actually know how long those cookies were sitting there.

I don't think we can just assume it was yesterday.

- That's a good point. - Right.

In that case, what if we...

fast-forward through last week's footage?

What? The entire week?

Yes. Let's start with Monday...

No. On Monday, we had sushi in his office.

- Should I pull up Monday's footage? - On Monday,

didn't Dr. Ham have an off-site meeting that day?

He even came to our team to pick up the materials for it.

I doubt we'll find anything useful on that day.

That's right.

Okay, then should we start with Tuesday?

I used a work report as an excuse and stayed for an entire hour.

Shall I pull up Tuesday's footage?

There was electrical work being done on the 18th floor on Tuesday.

So many people were coming and going.

It'd be hard to spot a stranger.

And Dr. Ham's assistant also said...

they didn't see who brought the cookies in...

- and when. - I see.

Right, so...

maybe we should just give up on the CCTV footage.

Still, I think we should at least take a look at yesterday's footage.

Could you please show us the footage from the morning?

Yes, of course.

Oh, no.

Darn it.

When those elevator doors open,

I'll walk out holding that cookie box.

Darn. What do I do?

Hey, what are those people doing?

Are they dancing?

- What? - What is wrong with them?

What's this?

Hey, number one.

Number five.

- Over there. - There.

- Hey, over there. - There!

- Eun Sang. - What?

It's so embarrassing!

Da Hae better treat us to something amazing for this.

Are they doing a magic trick?

- Over there. - There.

(Playback speed settings)

I'm getting dizzy.

Let's just watch it quickly, okay?

- I'm sorry. - It's fine.

See? It doesn't look like anyone was there.

You're right.

That's too bad.

Since it's come to this,

- just chalk it up to bad luck... - I knew it.

I guess I have no choice but to read the letter.

Excuse me?

Wait, what did you mean by a letter?

It must have been next to the cookie box.

I didn't notice it then. It got swept up with my documents.

I only found out this morning when Mr. Ko sorted my papers.

I see.

So, have you read it?

Not yet.

There's the privacy issue, for one thing.

But if someone went to the trouble of avoiding the CCTV...

for them to be that meticulous,

this person might be dangerous.

I think I should take this letter to the police.

The police?

Good thing it was just me yesterday,

but someone could've been badly hurt.

I don't even want to think about it.

I don't know about that.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal.

So, where's the letter now?

It's in my break room locker.

I'll take it to them after the meeting.

I see.

The break room?

Aren't you going up?

I'm just going to stop by the restroom.

- You go on ahead. - Okay.

This is driving me crazy.

The break room.

Where is it?

(Jung Da Hee)

Darn it.

Okay. Hair dryer.

(Employee Kang Eun Sang)

Is the sales analysis report ready?

- Ready, ma'am! - Ready, ma'am!

Did you add the supplementary data?

Yes, ma'am!

This instructor is deeply moved.

See? We can do this!

We can get those bonuses!

- Yes! - Yes!

- Right this way, please. - The clients are here.

Hello.

- I'm sorry. - Ji Song.

Yes?

Are you crazy?

Since when is a work document your personal diary?

What? What's wrong?

Every department is freaking out because they all got the wrong fax.

Mr. Song just took that into the meeting.

With this?

I will now present the proposal on revising our expense management.

To achieve more efficient expense management,

we will regularly review and improve our expenditure process.

First, prevent waste on non-essential trips.

- Okay. - "Prevent unnecessary tears."

"A new, exciting feeling has found me."

"My heart is bouncing. I'm just going with this feeling."

"Hmph, hmph."

(I'm just going with this feeling. Hmph, hmph.)

No, this is...

What is it?

- What is this? - Ji Song, are you insane?

Why are you eating that?

I'm sorry!

- What's going on? - I...

Assistant Manager Oh, I believe you're up next.

Yes. Regarding each department's budget...

Gosh, that startled me.

- I'm sorry. Just a moment. - Where are you going?

- Can you take over for me? - Where are you going?

- Sorry, excuse me! - Hey!

Ji Song.

Hey, are you okay?

Gosh.

Oh, gosh.

We've looked into this from a few angles,

and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to carry this new product.

We know!

Okay, there's no need to shout.

That's why we...

"are using the Marron Confectionery brand image..."

"to propose the creation of an NPB product!"

The thing is, that's not what we need right now.

Fine, go on. Let's hear it.

"So, along with a reliable Marron Confectionery NPB product,"

"we prepared a sales strategy for the new product launch..."

"for you!"

If you want it in stores so badly,

why not work with another distributor...

and offer them a different kind of promotion?

That would create a fairness issue.

We...

"Instead, by producing our Butter Cracker as an NPB product,"

- "we can drive up sales!" - Excuse me.

Yes?

- Can't you answer without reading? - Excuse me?

I mean, you've just been reading from that paper this whole time.

- Can't you answer me without that? - No, it's just...

It's not that, it's just...

Oh, that was a close call. Darn.

Why did she take this?

Hey.

- Oh, my! - What's that?

What's happening?

What's going on?

No!

- Oh, my gosh, what do we do? - What's going on?

Hey!

Regarding the issue you raised, first...

- What? - What's going on?

Hey, this thing...

A blackout.

I think we have a blackout!

You've got to be kidding me.

What do we do?

What do we do?

Say something.

Could you...

please give us a moment?

Why isn't this working?

I think we're trapped.

What do we do?

What?

- It's really not opening? - No.

The letter.

- I found it. - You what? Found what?

Yes, hello? Sir, this is Jung Da Hae.

Yes?

It's about our cookie project.

There was something I forgot to report.

The letter...

I mean, there was a document, and I completely forgot about it.

What document?

- A confidential one. - Confidential?

Yes. It's sort of...

a log of internal communications...

This one.

I left this there with the cookies,

but I totally forgot about it.

Thank goodness I found it.

Oh, no.

What?

Where did it go?

If this is what you're looking for,

I have it.

(Oh Dong Gyu)

I'm telling you, I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle a little.

I know, but still.

I enjoyed your diary, Ji Song.

I wonder who makes your heart bounce.

Assistant Manager Oh?

Of course not!

Please just put me down.

Come on, you could barely walk.

The elevator's out due to the blackout,

so let me at least get you to the nurse's office.

No, I'm fine. Just put me down, please.

- Put me down. - Wait...

- Wait, Ji Song. - Please.

- Hey, Ji Song. - Gosh.

Ji Song, what's wrong? Why are you crying?

Is it your ankle? Does it hurt that much?

It's not that.

It's because of you, Assistant Manager Oh.

I just feel so bad.

What? What for? Why?

I don't feel any butterflies.

How did you...

Your hand. It's bleeding.

I found it in the trash can at the convenience store.

(Flammable waste)

Oh, gosh.

What?

(To Dr. Ham)

I think this smell has seeped into my very bones.

Still,

you didn't have to go digging through the trash.

You usually pretend not to know me when other people are around.

A letter from someone like that...

How could I throw away a top-secret document like this?

- But still... - It's okay.

It's a sickness of mine. I'm drawn to things that are futile.

I never meant to fall this hard.

But what can you do?

If this is really my sickness,

I'll just suffer through it,

and I don't care if it kills me.

I...

I...

(Ham Ji Woo)

(Ham Ji Woo)

It's not pointless.

It means something. Darn it.

- What's going on? What's wrong? - What's she doing?

What are you doing?

We can't just stay trapped in here. Dr. Ham is hurt.

Gosh. You're hurt?

Then let us help you push.

No.

You make it sound like an emergency. Just stay put.

No! I'm taking you to the hospital.

It's not designed to move like that.

Da Hae, you'll get hurt. Stay put.

I don't care if I get hurt! I'm telling you, we have to get out.

I'm telling you, it won't open. Da Hae, you'll get seriously hurt.

Hey, what are you doing? You can't solve this with force.

For crying out loud.

It just opened.

Are you all right?

Da Hae, are you okay?

I'll take her to the hospital. You guys go on ahead.

Okay.

My gosh.

Just so you know, I can't help it if people see us.

I can't just leave an injured person, so...

I like you.

What?

Dr. Ham, I like you.

I really like you.

From now on, I won't hide it and say it out loud.

And if words aren't enough...

If they're not enough?

If they aren't enough...

Then keep saying it until they are.

What was that? You like me?

- That's what I said. - What was that? You like me?

- I said I like you. - What was that? You like me?

- What's wrong with you? - Say it again.

I think...

I don't...

get butterflies over handsome guys anymore.

Even after breaking up with someone as handsome as Wei Lin,

I'm still eating just fine.

What are you doing?

And even when I start to cry, it doesn't last very long.

Are you crying?

What's so great about love anyway?

I'm going to bed.

And, more than anything,

even when I see the prettiest ring in the world,

something else catches my eye first.

Hey, you got a field jacket? Something like a military uniform.

- What are you doing? - Eun Sang.

It says you can buy that with an interest-free plan.

There you go.

That's more like it.

You really never change, do you?

Do all your relationships end by splurging?

No, that's not it.

"Interest-free" is just a sales tactic.

The retailer pays the commission,

and that cost is included in the price.

So it's nothing to get excited about.

What's with you?

I've been taking an economics course online.

What?

Eun Sang.

I'm honestly really sad.

Breaking up with him hurts so much.

But it's weird.

It doesn't feel like my world's ended.

And that's kind of bittersweet, you know?

I guess I'm changing too. Right?

Assistant Manager Oh, you've gotten so handsome.

Even the back of your head...

It's like your face was re-sculpted. You look amazing.

But I'm not getting any butterflies.

I know I should feel butterflies, if only out of common decency.

I feel so bad about it. I really should be.

Especially after I said handsome guys are my type.

I don't even get butterflies,

and I feel so bad about that...

That's why I couldn't face you.

Then what gives you butterflies now?

Money!

Watching the money pile up in my crypto account is just...

so thrilling. It's a total rush.

Wait, what about Gang Dong Won?

Sorry?

You wouldn't get butterflies even for Gang Dong Won?

He's an exception, of course.

Gang Dong Won is in a league of his own.

Wait, your taste didn't change.

It just expanded.

Gosh, and here I was...

thinking it was something serious.

What?

Ji Song, you should just follow your heart.

You don't have to worry about me.

But still...

Come on. Let's get going.

Okay.

Careful.

Are you okay?

Let me piggyback you just to the nurse's office.

- What? - Come on, hurry.

- But... - Come on, quickly.

I'm sorry.

Just don't avoid me so much, okay?

Then I'll just...

be fine on my own.

I won't ask for anything more.

What kind of thing is that to say?

That just makes me feel worse.

Stop crying, all right?

(Marron Confectionery)

Oh, you're still here?

How could we leave before you?

Eun Sang, I'm sorry.

You worked so hard on that meeting, and I ruined it.

No, it's not your fault.

Do you guys want to get a drink with me tonight?

- With us? - With us?

When I think about it, this is all my fault.

No!

It's my fault, okay?

Come on.

What's done is done. Why rehash it?

You've been doing so well. Why are you acting like this now?

Can you nail this presentation or not?

Your discipline is completely shot!

Saet Byul, are you okay?

No, it's just the power went out at Daddy's office,

so I got worried and wanted to check if you lost power too.

Don't worry, Daddy's fine. Daddy's a Superman, right?

Nothing in the world can scare me.

I'll call you back in a bit, okay?

Sorry about that.

I was worried because my daughter was home alone.

Eun Sang.

I'm sorry.

I ruined everything.

Come on.

I'm a team leader now, so why can't I pull my own weight?

Earlier, that guy...

just glared at me and scoffed,

so I just got intimidated.

My mind went completely blank.

Look.

Why are you beating yourself up so much over it?

Eun Sang, are you really upset?

Your eyes are all red.

No. I'm not.

But Eun Sang.

Earlier,

you were crying, weren't you?

Well...

No, it's not that.

It's just that a man who's a superhero at home...

has to constantly bow his head to other people.

For a man his age to be disrespected while he's trying to work...

I just wondered if that's how it really has to be.

Hey, that's just part of the job. It happens.

No.

Work is tough enough as it is,

so I shouldn't have made it even harder for you.

I'm sorry.

I neglected my actual duties,

and at some point,

I started to see you both...

as just another problem that I had to solve.

Well...

We can be a bit of a handful.

From now on, I'm going to do better. I swear.

You've always tried your best.

And you're doing a great job now.

Eun Sang.

You've really changed.

I have?

For guys like us, who are nothing,

you care so much and even cry for us.

I told you I wasn't crying.

I never thought you'd agree to have a drink with us.

- Now you're treating us to drinks. - I never said I was paying.

Do you remember how badly we wanted to grab a drink...

with her after work?

- That's right! - Right?

- Hey. - Always.

Work might have been a bust, but I'm feeling great tonight.

So to celebrate, drinks are on me tonight!

- I'll drink to that! - Cheers.

- Cheers. - I can't hear you.

- Yes! - Yes!

- With grit! - With guts!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Eun Sang, were you really in the military?

You're a total natural.

Row the boat!

Row the boat!

It's fine, let's go.

My bad. Sorry about that.

(Marron Confectionery)

Mr. Ko.

- I have something to tell you. - That marketing proposal.

I submitted your proposal. Just so you know.

What? For real?

The personalized snack subscription service...

that's tailored to customer tastes.

It was a fantastic idea.

Just so there's no misunderstanding,

it was a completely fair evaluation.

I didn't give it a push...

just because you and Dr. Ham are dating.

- So don't get me wrong. - Right.

Wait, what?

What?

How did you know?

The CCTV footage.

But still,

kissing in the company hallway is a bit much, don't you think?

You saw that?

But then,

why are you covering for me?

You're not the only ones in love.

My wife and I keep romance alive.

Besides, nothing good comes from it getting exposed at work.

And you also turned a blind eye for me once.

That money I took before? I gave it all back.

I didn't keep a single cent.

I see.

Right.

Ms. Round.

No, I mean, Ms. Jung Da Hae.

Hold your head up high.

You were always so timid,

it made me want to push you around.

But it's been great to see the change in you lately.

Your taste seems more refined,

and you've broadened your horizons.

And best of all,

I love seeing how confident you are at work.

Right. Thank you.

I'm really going to try...

to hold my head high from now on.

Right. Hold your head high and just focus on your work.

Yes, sir.

All right, enough of this.

Come on, let's get to work.

Breaking news, everyone! This is huge.

Dr. Ham put in his resignation.

Hoppang Bite posted it on the message board.

What do you mean?

What did you say?

(Epilogue)

Excuse me?

What did you just ask?

I asked why you ate the cookie.

- That's because you told me... - Don't you have a peanut allergy?

I'm sorry?

That's what they said at the hospital.

That it was a typical allergy symptom.

You must have known you were allergic.

But anyone could see it was full of almonds and peanuts,

so I'm wondering why you ate something full of them.

I guess I didn't look that closely. I had no idea.

You had no idea?

Fine, let's say that's true.

- What about the letter? - The letter?

Didn't you see the letter next to the box of cookies that day?

Yes, I saw it.

Mr. Ko thought it was for me and put it on my desk.

So where is it now?

I threw it out.

It didn't seem important.

What did you say?

Was it something really important?

What should I do? I swear I didn't mean any harm.

Even if you didn't mean any harm,

I'd say there was a hidden agenda, wouldn't you?

Looking at you now, Da Hee...

You have a peculiar personality.

What's your deal?

Are you just born that way?

(To the Moon)

(Special thanks to Zhang Hao for his cameo)

What's going on?

Enderion has plummeted...

- by nearly 30 percent. - Hurry, run!

Shouldn't we pull our money out?

Are you crazy? If we sell now, we'll be real fools.

We're all going to get wiped out.

We should stay out of crypto for now.

I heard someone at our company made a million dollars.

Weren't you investing too, Da Hae?

Or was it just Eun Sang who profited?

Everyone at work is saying Eun Sang is going to quit.

Then why hasn't she told us anything?
