I'm sorry that I responded to your many proposals so late.
I do like you.
Come with me. I don't want to go alone.
You kids come with me.
Episode 9
Wait.
- Let's make this clear. - Huh?
Now "flirting" has ended and dating has begun. Am I right?
- That's correct! - That's...
You sound like a host on a quiz show.
Why so stiff?
Because it's true.
Wait for me.
My girl!
Come with me, my girl.
Will you? My girl!
Get home safely.
Why are you looking me like that?
Because I don't want to go.
Secretary Kim, I told you this before.
I'm smart, handsome, rich, and capable.
That's why
you should marry me as soon as possible.
We've been a couple less than an hour and you propose.
You're in quite a rush.
Look who's talking.
What?
Nothing.
- Get inside. - All right, see you tomorrow.
Let's go!
It's fun! Now it's your turn.
I'll push it especially for you.
Thanks.
You know, I'll marry you.
Marry me?
Yes, you look like a prince.
Promise me!
I'll come and see you again.
I can't help it.
Why did you come back?
Someone might have been lonely.
I meant you. I was worried you were lonely.
You know I don't give second chances.
But I want to give you another chance.
Another chance to see me.
What do you think? Isn't it an honor to be so special to me?
Yes, it's an honor.
Have a good dream. You know what is a good dream?
Of course. I'll dream of you.
Let me hold you one more time.
I think I'll be able to have a good dream tonight.
You have a meeting in the morning. You'd better get home and sleep well.
Your nagging even sounds fine today.
- Go in. - You go first.
Hey, mouth, stop smiling!
I can't stop you.
Promise me!
I'll come and see you again.
Really? You will come to see me?
Yes.
I won't forget your name. Lee Sung-yeon.
Yes, it was Sung-yeon.
Is he feeling a little under the weather? He's being weird today.
- Huh? - I mean, Young-jun.
He was dozing off at the meeting and he's asleep now.
Again? He overslept and was almost late for the meeting.
He always so awake and on his toes.
- What's wrong with him? - Not sure.
Right!
You want to see something funny?
Something funny?
Mr. Vice-Chairman.
What?
Do you like your mom or dad more?
He answers in his sleep.
His brain's always working 24 hours at full capacity.
Yeah, I just knew it.
But I've never seen him relaxed like this.
Has he had a drastic change in his state-of-mind?
Yes, Secretary Sul. I'm coming. Get the materials...
She just hung up. Bye.
Mr. Vice-Chairman!
He woke up from a nightmare then, but seems peaceful now.
Where are you going?
Come on, we might be seen!
Who would dare to come in? Don't worry.
I'm not worried...
What? You aroused a sleeping desire and should be prepared for this.
Sleeping what?
Desire!
Desire? How can you say such a word so casually?
You better be prepared. I won't be going at my old pace.
Anyway, you're not sick, are you?
You've never slept this much before.
A weight was lifted off my shoulders yesterday.
I won't be having nightmares anymore.
Huh?
Tell Dr.Coi that I no longer need sleeping pills.
Are you really okay now?
I don't have any pain now.
Now?
Why are you looking me like that?
I want to ask something.
The boy I was looking for...
is it really your brother?
Why ask something obvious?
This may sound weird...
but I feel like it was you.
You suffer nightmares as if you had some trauma.
And the scar on your ankle.
It'd be icing on the cake if it was me.
But it is not.
The nightmares and the scar have nothing to do with that.
And what does it matter anyway?
You'd change your mind?
No, I wouldn't.
No matter who it was...
I like you.
Then...
carry on.
I'll be there around seven.
I'll let you know the entry code. So start carrying luggage without me.
Thank you.
I'm moving today.
- On a weekday? - It's cheaper.
I just started working
so my parents are covering the deposit and moving charges.
I need to reduce the cost for them.
Moving out of your parent's house will be hard for you.
I have no choice if I want to be a career woman like you.
Living near the office will allow me to focus on my work.
- Isn't it the time for that meeting? - What?
Oh, my!
No.
I'll be more focused on my work from now.
- I'll be back. - Yes.
Author Lee Sung-yeon
Hi, you been waiting long?
It's okay.
The response from the book event is hot. The agency was out of control.
So many invitations from TV shows and reporters.
You'll do them, right?
No, I'm not interested.
Why not? It'd be great. You are so well-spoken.
The book event was amazing.
At the end when you confessed about woman you like, wow!
And she was there too?
She must've been touched.
- Secretary Sul. - Yes.
Can you give me a ride? Mr. Choi is working out of office.
I need to look through the paper on the way.
Sure, trust me! I'll get you there without a mistake.
You're not driving me to...the afterlife?
No, I wouldn't!
Did you call me?
Are you available for lunch?
Yes, no luncheons today, so it's possible.
I want a special place because it's the first meal as a couple.
Yes, I'll book a special one.
Not the usual place but a new one.
Yes, I'll make a list of new ones.
Ah! What about a cake? We should celebrate the moment.
Sure, I'll get the rare cheesecake that you like.
Good.
What was that? Is it how you talk to your lover?
It's what I usually do, but I'm feeling a bit funny.
A bit cheesy but should we light some candles?
No, no need.
I'm making an effort to celebrate the beginning of our relationship.
It was I who made the effort. I booked the place.
How do you like the food?
Oh, yes. It's really good.
She looks like your secretary.
Enjoy!
Why don't we go on a date before getting to the office?
What?
We can take a walk and see a movie.
No, we can't.
Why the serious tone? Nothing is scheduled this afternoon.
You should be at the office.
Doing personal things, especially a date, is just not acceptable.
- I'm confused. - What?
You seem like my secretary now.
But my girlfriend like this.
We need to sort this out.
What do you mean?
All the little things you've taken care of all these years...
it seems to have made me a bad guy. I don't like it.
For example, you poured my glass of water before.
You carry a man's handkerchief and hand it to me.
That's not usual for a couple.
I can't help it.
It's my job to take care of you before you even ask for it.
That's why we need to sort it out.
You assist me on work only now. I'll do the personal stuff by myself.
- But that's... - Say nothing and just do it.
I might be a selfish boss,
but I don't want to be a selfish boyfriend.
Okay. Secretary Sul!
No mistakes. We can't afford to get lost.
Don't worry about it.
I know this town so well, I could do this with my eyes closed.
You won't make both of us close our eyes...for good?
Come on, look! We're almost there.
Oh, you haven't made any mistakes today.
I get more anxious.
Slow Down
Oh, that's...
That's your ex-wife, right?
Well, he might be just a friend.
You wouldn't have seen her if I had gotten lost.
I always make mistakes and it's today I do well.
I'm sorry.
Never mind. I'm all right.
No, it's not.
Anything you need?
Indifference!
I need your indifference and laziness.
I talked too much at the meeting and my neck hurts.
Good job, everybody.
Oh my gosh!
No, Mr. Vice-Chairman!
What are you doing here? You should've made me do the copies!
- Let me do it. - No, let me do it.
No, it's done. I have mastered this machine.
A regular, an enlarged, and a reduced copy. I did it all.
I'll make my own copies from now on.
Thank you.
What is it, everybody?
Were you out of office?
No, I've been sitting at the desk.
Then how did it happen?
Why? What is it?
Well, Mr. Vice-Chairman was making copies by himself.
What? Making copies?
Yes, I almost had a heart attack.
Did you hear that? My heart stopped?
Yeah.
What is this unbelievable situation?
Secretary Kim!
Executive Park is looking for you. You should go to him.
Ah, okay.
Vice-Chairman's cookies,
they always look so fancy and delicious. What about just one bite?
You want one?
No, those were thoughtless words. Could you let it slide?
I've never touched your cookies.
- Right? - Yeah.
Did he just prepare snacks for himself?
Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.
It was scary!
What is he doing today?
The copies and snacks!
Ah! I think I know.
Gather around, if you can handle it.
- We are gathered already! - Please!
I think...
it's a clue about upcoming layoffs.
"I can do everything without you people!"
What? I don't think so.
I think he's right.
Otherwise, how can you explain those strange behaviors?
Yes, but...
What should we do?
My daughter is turning two soon.
And not just that. What about the mortgage?
What about me? There are lots of foods that I want to eat.
You guys seem worried.
That's why you should have worked harder improve your qualifications, like me.
You should've worked to improve your personality too.
It might all be over. So rude of you.
What about me?
Yun-sung Bae!
Don't worry, you're an intern.
Is it really a layoff?
It feels like the calm before the storm.
What's happening? Oh my gosh.
Oh, no.
Hi.
Wait. It's the first tea that I've made since I was born.
Yes, I should give it to her.
There.
Did you call me?
Have a seat.
I'm giving you the first tea that I have made in my entire life.
Please try it.
- I have something to say... - Have the tea first.
It's the my first tea I made and it'll get cold.
Yes.
Hot!
So hot!
Are you all right? You got burned?
Say "Ah." Come on.
- "Ah." Say "Ah!" - It's okay.
I have something to tell you.
It's quite a special day for me today.
- A special day? - Yes.
Today, I decided to implement
the first-ever communication day in the office.
Communication day?
Yes, all of you are working so hard day and night for me.
I want to express my gratitude by eye contact with each of you.
Secretary Kim was the first.
Now, I'll make an eye contact communication with the next person.
Manger Jung.
I appreciate your hard work.
Nice to see you.
Mr. Vice-Chairman.
There are files piled up that need to be signed.
You should confirm them so projects can proceed.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I'm sorry, but the rest of you...
should wait for communication day next year.
- Good job! - Wow!
Bye.
What was that? Huh?
All of sudden, a communication day?
I know, did he feel that we haven't communicated enough lately?
No, I figured out what's going on here.
This is because of...
Secretary Kim!
What? What are you talking about?
Tell us the truth.
You've been keeping it secret from us, but actually...
you suggested that he create the day to cheer us up.
He's not a person who can come up with such an idea.
It's obviously your idea.
Is it true?
Well, yeah.
Oh, my! Please don't do it!
I nearly died feeling so overwhelmed. Please!
But it is now clear that we're not going to be laid off.
Yes, but what's with all those other things going on today?
Communication day!
Young-jun, you're a man of great tact.
What did you think? Wasn't that smooth?
Mr. Vice-Chairman
You're doing many little things for yourself.
It makes me uncomfortable.
You misspoke.
I made you comfortable, not uncomfortable.
Not at all.
My pride doesn't allow me to have an easier job as your girlfriend.
I'm doing my work...myself. Is it a problem?
I've been doing that for nine years.
Please let me continue.
Secretary Kim, I get your point.
But I don't want to have you do just that kind of stuff...
Just that kind of stuff?
That's one of my duties.
I try to do that kind of stuff perfectly.
I feel proud of myself when I see my boss is happy with "that kind of stuff."
But I'm disappointed by that expression which shows no respect to my job.
It's me who is disappointed. You really don't know why I did that?
I've been always supported by others.
Do you think it was easy for me to try things by myself?
I wanted to do it for you, even though it was not easy for me.
Don't do it from now on.
This is a workplace and it's work hours.
I can't help but trying to get balance between Secretary Kim and Kim Mi-so.
My roles should be separate.
Please understand.
You're too rational.
Then, I will leave.
She's right.
But what's this feeling?
Hey, Secretary Kim.
Have you done something to him?
No, I haven't.
I think you have. There's...a vibe.
Can't you just apologize to him?
I'm so scared that my heart goes pit-a-pat.
Well, I don't see what I've done wrong.
But...
you always apologize to him even if it is not your fault.
What?
I don't get it at all.
I can't believe she's so rational, so meticulous..
Such a workaholic!
You like her because she is rational, meticulous, and a workaholic.
That's why you've been with her for nine years.
She's ignorant of men because she's always been single.
Technically, isn't it the first time for you, too?
I was so happy just a few hours ago.
It feels like a small fire turned into a big disaster in no time.
He ignores any criticism.
Anyway, that's how it goes when it comes to love.
A small discrepancy brings a big conflict.
However!
When you ignore these little arguments it turns into an extended "cold period"
and it's inevitable to have a bad ending.
What? Are you cursing a new couple?
Hey.
Young-jun.
You don't want to dwell on the argument.
You'll end up with breakup like me.
What's wrong?
You always apologize to him even if it is not your fault.
I used to apologize to him even it was not my fault.
Why is it difficult now?
I think I should kiss and make up. Can I do that?
Hey, can I go home a little early? I'm moving today.
Sure, go head. Take it easy.
- Okay, see you tomorrow. - See you.
Everything's done for today?
Say that one thing is left, to apologize and make up.
Yes, everything is finished.
Say that we'll have dinner and straighten things out.
All right.
You should go now.
Say that we should go anywhere together!
All right, then I'm going home now.
Say Secretary Kim will stop work and Kim Mi-so should go on a date.
All right.
Then, bye.
Say, "Come with me."
Say, "Don't leave me!"
I'm so frustrated.
Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? it's not apartment 302, but 301!
Please have them delivered here. Yes.
- Hi, they are for room 301, right? - Yes.
- I'm sorry that I'm late. - That's all right. This is the last one.
Good! It's beautiful.
Oh, this could be of use.
Huh?
Hi, did you happen to see a fan here?
A fan? Was it yours? The guy on the rooftop took it.
What?
Darn it!
I thought you were broken and abandoned. You're working fine.
I'll call you Fan Go because you're a fan of Go Gwi-nam.
Fan Go...
What is it? Ah, you're moving. You came to give me some moving-day food?
There's no food for you!
It's really here.
Why did you take my fan?
Oh, is it yours?
I thought it was abandoned. That's why I rescued it.
Why did you leave it there in the first place?
Leave it? I was carrying luggage upstairs.
Moreover, it looks great. How could you think it was abandoned?
People do it these days.
This table was also abandoned and so I took...
I didn't take it, but I'm sorry.
I'm not arguing and will give it back to you.
It's mine. What could you argue about?
I just...
Sister Pil-nam
Hi, sis.
No, thanks. I don't want to drink. I'm tired.
Yes, bye.
It looks so yummy!
Chinese food is a perfect choice for a moving day.
Who is it?
What are those cherry tomatoes for?
What do you mean by that?
I grew them as if they were my kids, sowing, watering and taking the sun.
They are priceless.
Come on, take it.
I'll get a cramp in my arm.
Why are you giving this priceless thing to me?
I'm sorry about the fan.
Just think it as rental fee for the fan
and a gift from a senior colleague for your moving in.
Then, bye.
Was I too mean?
You'll have lots of leftovers when you order delivery food.
You're not saying that you want to eat together?
No, when you order delivery food,
just split it in half and bring it to me.
That way you avoid wasting any. It will be great.
What is this?
It was quite a lot just for me.
I brought you the leftovers.
Ah...
- Bye. - Hang on.
You don't have to say thank you. Think of it as a return for the tomatoes.
Oh, it's not that. Please order shrimp fried rice next time.
I prefer it because the shrimp has a nice chewy texture.
What?
And the sweet and sour pork... I prefer the sauce on the side.
Give it to me.
No, I'll take it because you prepared it especially for me.
No, I didn't. I was just trying to show some good manners.
I'll accept it as a token of your good manners.
No manners anymore! Just give it to me!
I'm very well-mannered.
I prefer big tomatoes to cherry tomatoes.
There are big tomatoes growing. I'll give you them.
It's not big enough yet. Give it to me! I'll have it.
Accidental but maybe inevitable Lee Sung-yeon
I couldn't have endured it if I had been alone.
But she was with me and I won't lose her again.
I'll risk everything to keep her.
Kim Mi-so
He hasn't called me yet.
Who is it?
Mr. Vice-Chairman,
Were you in bed?
It's too early for it.
Look...
about today...
- Parcel delivery for you! - Parcel!
What?
- You're Kim Mi-so? - Yes, thank you.
Dolsan Gat Kimchi?
It's a steady seller on the home shopping network.
It's really good.
- I'll have some. - What?
We can eat it with this.
- What is it? - What you like.
Then, come inside if you like.
Pig Skin Go
This is my regular place. Did you go that far?
Sure, I grilled them by myself.
Excuse me. To go, please.
The owner remembered when we were there together.
He gave me some insects for free, he said you loved them.
- Insects? - Yeah.
Silkworm larvae!
Pig skin and insects. My girlfriend has a unique taste.
Thank you.
For bringing what you like?
For coming here.
I missed you.
Why are you being so rational in the office?
I was trying to be careful as we have our separate positions.
I may have been too careful.
I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings, Mr. Vice-Chairman.
I don't like it.
Whoa! I'm apologizing here and you're so harsh.
Not that. I mean when you address me. Call me "brother" from now on.
What?
What about calling each other as we used to?
You're still calling me "Secretary Kim."
Then I'll call you Mi-so. Mi-so!
"Brother."
Bro...
...ther.
Maybe next time!
Let's do this step by step. Huh?
Mi-so!
- Mi-so, your sisters are here. - Sisters?
- Mi-so! - I should say hello.
I want to accelerate our relationship.
- Now now, come on. - Why?
- I should say hello to... - Shh!
Mi-so, Kim Mi-so!
- Hey, I need to say... - Shh!
You want me to get in there?
No, hey. Secretary Kim!
I'm Vice-Chairman of Yumyung Group!
You're my boyfriend right now.
Stay still!
No, Secretary Kim. This is...
Keep quiet!
You're here. Why didn't you answer?
I fell asleep.
Why are you here?
You didn't sound good.
We visited to cheer you up.
Ta-da! You'll be surprised when you see what we got for you.
It's...
the pig skin from Pig Skin Go!
Let's enjoy! You've been enjoying.
I felt like having it.
Why is it set for two?
I know. She wouldn't need one for each hand.
- Ah, it's... - You!
Did you let the Vice-Chairman into the house?
He just had this and went home.
He's so rich and has nowhere to go?
He got treated to ramen here before.
Did he? Ramen last time, and pig skin today?
Oh my gosh, he's rich and getting treated to that?
He didn't get treated. He bought it today!
Pathetic! It's pig skin and not rib eye?
Oh my gosh, he's rich and doing that?
I told you he's not the one for you.
He lives in a different world.
Yes, even if you two like each other, his family would be against it.
They'd hand you an envelope of money and say, "Get away from my son!"
What are you going to do when they're pouring water on your head?
You guys watch too many dramas.
Even if they allow it, I won't.
You've made him sound like a selfish jerk.
When did I say those things?
And most of all, he can't kiss you with his sexual dysfunction order.
If he has time to hang out with you, he should come to my urology clinic.
Hey, let's drink and talk. Bring it here.
Yes.
Mi-so, try some. It's good.
- Cheers! - Mi-so, come on.
Why? We could drink more. Why do you want us to go?
Just one more drink, huh?
- Next time. - Please.
- Hey! - Let's go.
Oh, no. Hey!
- Bye, sisters. - Hey!
Mr. Vice-Chairman.
Secretary Kim.
What kind of information did you give your sisters?
Well, it's not that.
You didn't tell them about blockbuster dates, only ramen?
And I am a selfish jerk?
If it was true, I wouldn't have bought pig skin and insects.
I'm sorry.
I understand you are upset.
Let's stop this.
I don't want another argument. We just made up.
I can't get mad at you because you're too pretty.
I feel bad that I was so hasty the other day
and made you uncomfortable.
I'll drop by and we can talk.
Secretary Kim, good morning.
Look.
Can I see him?
I want to make clear to him how I feel.
Sure.
How have you been?
Well.
I felt bad that you've been avoiding me for a couple of days.
Thank you for seeing me.
Glad to see your face.
About the other day,
I'm sorry that I confessed out of nowhere.
I just wanted to let you know about my feelings.
Were you too surprised?
Yes.
I don't feel that way about you.
You were a nice boy who took care of me that time.
I just wanted to see you again.
But it's not about romantic feelings.
So...
I can't accept your feelings.
Is it because of Young-jun?
Yes.
Do you have any idea how I've suffered because of him?
Do you understand that I had to give up everything and go study abroad?
Not again.
When are you gonna stop it? Aren't you sick of it?
Sick of it? Can you even say that?
I still remember it clearly. That's why I'm living in pain now.
But you're good, right?
You blocked out all unfavorable memories.
Don't be sarcastic. Don't meet her and talk nonsense again.
If you ever talk nonsense to her once more
I won't stand for it, even if you are family.
Come on.
Mr. Vice-Chairman.
He's in so much pain. Don't you feel sorry for him?
I don't remember the past that he's obsessed with.
I know nothing but should feel guilty? Isn't that hypocrisy?
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Yes, I hear you.
Where are you going?
For a drive.
I'll be your secretary today.
You look prettier when you smile.
Anywhere you want to go?
Well, I just want to take a walk.
It's so nice.
- Are you cold? - A little.
It's a bit chilly on the riverside.
Wait here for a minute.
Put this on.
Thanks.
It's burgundy.
You always look good in burgundy.
Wrong.
Every color looks good on me but especially burgundy.
Ah, yes.
It's not what I think.
It's what I heard from a designer who adored me.
Who is it? Do I know him?
No, he's a friend of my mother's. You wouldn't know him.
He adored me and used to make clothes for me by himself when I was little.
By himself?
Yes, he even didn't do it for his nephews, just for me.
Designer Jong-do Jang made the cardigan especially for him.
It looked so good on him.
On that day I saw him with the cardigan and he was so handsome.
Don't get me wrong.
It's not that you make me bored, but comfortable.
I can't stop feeling drowsy, even after a lot of sleeping.
Would you like a nap in the car?
I'm sorry to do this on a date, but excuse me for a moment.
Come on.
Was he warm enough? He gets cold easily.
- Aren't you worried about getting a cold? - I'm fine.
I'm talking about me, not you.
Ah...you easily get cold.
I won't forget your name. It's Lee...
- Lee... - You fool.
You're doing it again. My name is Lee Sung...
How was he doing? My Hyeon, how did he look?
Right. I'm certain that she said "Hyeon."
Children can easily have cognitive errors.
I could have mixed up the two similar names.
Brother Sung-hyeon?
Yes?
I don't want you to worry about us any more.
When you see her family, put your hands together...
Yes, yes! I did it everything I was told.
Clams!
You've heard of one who can never be satisfied. That's me.
It's filled with eggs.
Which one of these is you?
Brother.
I'll try every possible means to assure your sisters. Don't cry.
