I'm sorry that I responded to your many confessions 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.
Sorry?
Now flirting has ended and dating has begun. Am I right?
-That's correct! -That's...
You sound like a quiz show host.
Why so stiff?
Because it's correct.
Wait for me.
My girl!
Come with me, my girl.
Will you? My girl!
Get home safely.
Why are you looking me like that?
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.
Sorry?
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 be lonely.
I meant you.
I was worried you would be lonely all night.
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 I mean by "good dream"?
Of course. I'll dream of you.
I'll 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.
Even your nagging sounds nice 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. Sung-yeon Lee.
Yes, it was Sung-yeon.
Is he feeling under the weather? He's being weird today.
-Excuse me? -I mean, Young-jun.
He was dozing off at the meeting and he's asleep now.
Again?
He overslept and arrived almost late for the meeting.
He's always so awake and on his toes.
-What's wrong with him? -I'm 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 is working 24 hours at full capacity.
I just realized that, too.
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 he seems peaceful now.
Where are you going?
Mr. Vice-chairman! We might be seen!
Who would dare to come in? Don't worry.
I'm not worried...
What? You aroused a sleeping desire. You should be prepared for this.
Sleeping what?
Desire!
Desire? How can you say such a word so casually?
Be prepared.
I won't control my pace anymore.
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 have nightmares anymore.
Sorry?
Tell Dr. Choi 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.
Is the boy I was looking for...
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 scars on your ankles.
It'd be icing on the cake if it was me.
But it is not.
The nightmares and the scars have nothing to do with that.
Why does it matter anyway?
Would you change your mind about liking me?
No, I wouldn't.
No matter who it was...
I like you.
Then...
carry on.
I'll be there around seven.
I'll text the entry code.
So start moving things if you arrive before 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 save for them.
Moving out of your parent's house will be hard.
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 time for that meeting? -What?
Oh, my!
No.
I'll be more focused on my work from now on.
-I'll be back. -Yes.
AUTHOR SUNG-YEON LEE
Your call cannot be connected. Leave a message after...
Have you been waiting long?
It's okay.
The response from the book event is hot.
The agency was so busy.
So many invitations for TV shows and interviews.
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, you confessed about woman you liked. Wow!
Was she there too?
She must've been touched.
-Secretary Sul. -Yes.
Can you give me a ride? Mr. Choi has a reserve training today.
I need to review the paper on the way.
Sure, trust me!
I'll get you there safely.
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 our 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 this feels a bit funny.
It's a bit cheesy, but should we light candles?
No, no need.
I'm trying to celebrate the beginning of our relationship.
I'm the one who tried. I booked the place.
How do you like it?
It's really good.
She looks like your secretary.
Enjoy!
Let's have a date instead of getting back to work.
What?
We can take a walk and see a movie.
No, we can't.
Why so serious? Nothing is scheduled this afternoon.
You should still be at the office.
Doing personal things, especially a date, is just not acceptable.
-I'm confused. -Excuse me?
You seem like my secretary now.
Also like my girlfriend this way.
We need to sort this out.
What do you mean?
All the things you've done for me all these years...
have made me look bad. I don't like it.
For example, you poured my 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.
So we need to sort it out.
You assist me on work only now.
I'll handle my personal stuff.
-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.
I know this area well. I could drive with my eyes closed.
Don't make us close our eyes for good.
Look! We're almost there.
You haven't made any mistakes today!
So 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 today of all days, I do well.
I'm sorry.
Never mind. I'm all right.
No, it's not.
Do you need anything?
Indifference!
I need your indifference and laziness.
I talked too much at the meeting and my neck hurts.
Good job.
Oh, my God!
No, Mr. Vice-chairman!
What are you doing here? You should've asked me!
-Let me do it. -No, let me do it.
No, it's done. I have mastered this machine.
I can make regular, enlarged, and reduced copies.
I'll make my own copies now.
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 my heart stop?
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 look so fancy and delicious.
Shall we just have one bite?
You want one?
No. Please forget those thoughtless words.
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!
Why is he doing those things today?
The copies and snacks!
Ah! I think I know.
Come if you can handle it.
-We are here 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's lots of food that I want to eat.
You guys seem worried.
That's why you should have improved your qualifications, like me.
You should've improved your personality too.
-So rude of you. -Well...
What about me?
Yun-sung Bae!
Interns are safe.
Is it really a lay-off?
It feels like the calm before the storm.
What's happening? Oh, my God.
Hi.
Wait. This is 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 I've made in my life.
Please try it.
-I have to say-- -Have the tea first.
My first tea will get cold.
Yes.
Hot!
So hot!
Are you all right? Did you get burned?
Say, "Ah." Come on.
-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 many files 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?
All of sudden, a communication day?
I know. Did he feel 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.
Then, what's with all those 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 things 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 when my boss is happy with "that kind of stuff."
But I'm upset by that expression which shows no respect for my job.
It's me who is upset.
You really don't know why I did that?
I've always been supported by others.
Do you think it was easy to try things by myself?
I wanted to do nice things for you, even though it was not easy.
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 Mi-so Kim.
My roles should be separate.
Please understand.
You're too rational.
Then, I will leave.
She's right.
But what's this feeling?
Well... Secretary Kim.
Have you done something wrong 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 apologized to him even if it was not your fault.
What?
I don't get it at all.
I can't believe she's so rational, and meticulous.
Such a workaholic!
Because she is rational, meticulous, and a workaholic,
you've kept 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 happy just a few hours ago.
It feels like a small fire turned into a big disaster in no time.
He ignores all my criticism.
Anyway, that's how it goes when it comes to love.
A small discrepancy brings a big conflict.
However!
When you argue frequently and the "cold period" extends,
it leads to a bad ending.
-Like me. -What?
Are you cursing a new couple?
Hey.
Young-jun.
Don't dwell on the argument.
You'll end up with a breakup, like me.
What's wrong?
You always apologized to him even if it was not your fault.
I used to apologize to him even if it was not my fault.
Why is it difficult now?
Will we be able to talk and make up?
May I go home a little early? I'm moving today.
Sure, go head. Good luck.
-Okay, see you tomorrow. -See you.
Is everything done for today?
Say that we need to 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 somewhere together!
All right. I'll go now.
Say Secretary Kim will stop work and 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, I told you. It's not apartment 302, but 301!
Please have them delivered here. Yes.
-Hi, they are for room 301, right? -Yes.
Sorry. I'm late.
-No worries. This is the last one. -Okay.
Good! It's beautiful.
Oh, this could be of use.
Come with me.
Huh?
Hi, did you happen to see a fan here?
A fan? Was it yours?
The guy on the rooftop took it.
What?
Damn it!
I thought you were broken and abandoned. You're just fine.
I'll call you Fan Go because you are like Gwi-nam Go.
Fan Go...
What is it?
Did you bring some moving day food?
Food my ass.
It's really here.
Why did you take my fan?
Oh, was 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 moving boxes.
It looks great. How could you think it was abandoned?
People abandon perfectly good things these days.
This table was also abandoned and so I took...
I didn't take it, but I'm sorry.
I'll not argue and give this 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 and watering under 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 of 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 for yourself.
You're not saying you want to eat together?
No, but when you order delivery food,
just split it and bring half of it to me.
It's great as you can avoid wasting food.
What is this?
I got too much food.
I brought you some.
Ah...
-Bye. -Hang on.
No need to thank me. 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.
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. Take them.
It's not big yet. Give it to me! I'll have it.
ACCIDENTAL, BUT MAYBE INEVITABLE SUNG-YEON LEE
I couldn't have endured it alone.
But she was with me and I won't lose her again.
I'll risk everything to keep her.
MI-SO KIM
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! -Parcel!
What?
-You're Mi-so Kim? -Yes, thank you.
Dolsan Leaf Mustard 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?
Something 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 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 so rational at work?
I was trying to be careful as we have our separate positions.
I may have been too careful.
Sorry for hurting your feelings, Mr. Vice-chairman.
I don't like it.
Whoa! I'm apologizing here and you're so harsh.
Not that. 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!
Say "Brother."
Bro...
...ther.
Maybe next time!
Let's do this step by step.
Mi-so!
-Mi-so, your sisters are here. -Sisters?
-Mi-so! -I should say hello.
I want to accelerate our relationship.
-Not now. Come. -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 the Vice-chairman of Yumyung Group!
You're my boyfriend right now.
Stay still!
No, Secretary Kim. This is...
Keep quiet!
Hey. 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!
This will surprise 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?
You're right. 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 ate ramen here before.
Did he? Ramen last time and pig skin today?
Gosh. He's rich and gets treated to that?
He didn't get treated. He bought it today!
Pathetic! It's pig skin! Not rib eye.
So stingy for a rich man.
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 money and say, "Get away from my son!"
What will you do if they throw water in your face?
You guys watch too many dramas.
Even if they allow it, I won't.
From what I hear from you, he is 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 did you tell your sisters about me?
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.
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 your office to 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 few days.
Thank you for seeing me.
I'm glad to see your face.
The other day...
I'm sorry that I confessed out of nowhere.
I just wanted to show 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.
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 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?
I don't remember the past that he's obsessed with.
I know nothing, but I 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 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 just 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 didn't even do it for his nephews, just for me.
Designer Jong-do Jang made it especially for him.
It looked great on him.
On that day,
I saw him with the cardigan on 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 catching cold, 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? 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?
What?
I don't want you to worry about us anymore.
When you see her family, put your hands together...
Yes, yes! I did everything they wanted.
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 anything to ease your sisters' minds.
Don't cry.
