What are you doing? You don't like noodles in the soup.
I wanted to eat our last meal
the way you normally enjoy it.
You should meet someone that suits you.
I don't think I'm that person.
Yeon-ju.
No…
Please don't do this.
SAUSAGE STEW AND STEAK
This isn't the way home.
You're only going to have depressing thoughts if you go home now.
I'm going to change things up for you.
Please welcome her as we've been waiting for her for a very long time.
How did you get everyone together?
What do you mean?
They've been waiting for you here all along.
Thanks…
Have you asked Yeon-ju for her time of birth to get your fortune read?
I'll ask later.
What do you mean, later?
Men born in the Year of the Monkey
and women in the Year of the Horse are a perfect fit.
Why is it so difficult for you to ask her?
Good work, Mom. You can go home now.
Cut the nonsense. Why is asking for her time of birth so difficult?
Just call her up and casually ask what time she was born.
Just ask her that one thing, the time she was born.
It's really not that hard. Just call her.
-Bye, Mom. -Okay. Call her.
How many times are you watching this?
It's fascinating to see Eun-byeol dance. She's a baby to me.
Mr. Choi had the district hygiene officers come in for a store inspection
because a scammer kept trying to get compensation from expired food.
He sacrificed himself and his store
to arrest that scammer by reporting it to the police.
Isn't Mr. Choi so cool?
Didn't you quit working at the store?
I did,
but Mr. Choi always says that honesty is the best way to go.
He called me to the store so that I can watch him and learn.
I can't believe that he called you over and that you went there.
Of course, I'd go wherever and whenever Mr. Choi calls me.
I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.
-Thank you! -Thank you!
Let's go.
-Sir? -Saet-byeol?
HANGOVER CURE ON ANOTHER LEVEL
You're the promotion queen, right? Why don't you work these days?
I've been getting so many shifts, all thanks to you.
I make a great team with him.
-But we placed ninth this time. -Keep quiet.
I'm sorry. I have nothing to say.
Director Cho made me do this, and I had no other choice.
I have a wife and children to feed, so I couldn't do anything about it.
I'm really fine.
I was going to quit anyway
because I wanted to work at the convenience store.
I'm glad that Director Cho set things up this way.
Saet-byeol…
I mean it.
I hope you make good sales.
Even without me, you can't place ninth.
You have to win the Best Salesman Award and win the prize money, all right?
Good luck.
Thank you.
-You can go. -Stay healthy.
Bye now.
He probably couldn't do anything about it.
He probably had no other choice.
I'm cut from my part-time job here,
and my ex-manager from the store that I quit from is still training me.
That Mr. Choi.
I miss him.
What is he doing?
Is he exhausted because I'm not there to work the night shifts?
Why am I hiding? This is ridiculous.
Yeon-ju, are you awake now?
Yes…
Wear this to work today.
Why? Is it a special day or something?
An executive has to dress like one.
-"An executive"? -Haven't you heard from Seung-jun?
We've talked it over with Chairman Cho as well.
-Mom! -See you at the office.
Kim Hye-ja, our second-largest shareholder,
is apparently Ms. Yoo's mother.
There's even a rumor that Director Cho and Ms. Yoo
lived together in the US.
They say that their marriage has been arranged
and that their marriage is registered.
Can you believe that she's the PR Director now?
I'm dead now.
Do you think the rumors are true?
Then what was Dae-hyeon to her all along?
Forget Dae-hyeon. I'm done for.
No…
Maybe I should look into opening a store like Dae-hyeon did.
My head is aching.
Anyone have medicine for migraines?
You should meet someone that suits you.
I don't think I'm that person.
-Mr. Choi? -Hey, Seong-tae.
-Hi, Jeong-ha. -Hello.
-What are you thinking about? -Nothing.
What brings you here?
I was wondering if you knew.
-About what? -Everyone's talking about Ms. Yoo at work.
-Why? -Ms. Yoo…
is the daughter of the second-largest shareholder of the company.
She got promoted to director today. How did she fool us all along?
What did you say?
You really didn't know?
How did she not even tell you when you've been dating for three years?
Let's get going now.
We'll get going now, Dae-hyeon.
We'll come again.
Remember how we promised not to keep secrets from each other?
You know Director Cho Seung-jun, right?
To be honest, we knew each other before you were even born.
Both our dads are really close, so we were friends since we were born.
But make no mistake. I got the job because I deserved it.
Just like your annuity, which will be with you for life,
I will be your forever partner
and be responsible for your insurance until the end.
I will be your insurance planner Gong Bun-hui.
From Gong Bun-hui of Precious Life Insurance.
DELUXE TAXI
If you do this, even our good memories will disappear.
Then you shouldn't have done it.
What?
"Let's be truthful to each other.
Let's talk everything out.
We must have no secrets for us to become close to each other."
You said all of these things to me.
But was I the only one who was supposed to keep those promises?
Why didn't you tell me that you're the daughter
of the second-largest shareholder of the company?
Did you think that if you told me, I'd ask you for a promotion?
Or did you think that I'd try to borrow money from you?
Did you think that our relationship would be any different
if I knew who you were?
It's either that you didn't trust me, or you weren't confident.
It's one or the other.
Perhaps it was both.
What use is any of this now?
-You deceived me. -What?
You always denied it, but somehow, you were always with the part-timer girl.
You were the one who fooled me. Am I wrong?
Shouldn't you at least give me a chance
to explain myself before you go and assume things?
Yeon-ju?
My goodness, it's hot.
Dad?
Dae-hyeon!
Dad, what are you doing here?
My gosh, I didn't expect to see you like this.
What a coincidence.
I had no idea that you were my son's girlfriend.
What a small world it is.
Goodness…
I'll get going first. Continue talking.
Dad, where are you going?
Yeon-ju…
you can insult and humiliate me all you want,
but don't you think
that you should've at least left my family alone?
Sure, I get it. We're breaking up.
But what are you trying to prove by doing all of this?
I'm just as embarrassed and flustered as you are right now,
but honestly, I feel frustrated.
You always said that it was all a misunderstanding,
and now I'm in your shoes.
This isn't an excuse. It's the truth.
I guess
I didn't really know who you were this whole time.
Don't just go and assume things.
I'll go inside if you have nothing else to say.
Mom!
Talk about timing, right?
How could we all meet like this here?
This is hilarious.
Why did you have to do that? That was completely unnecessary.
Everything is all done and over now, so why pour salt all over the wound?
I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for them.
-What? -This is the only way.
For Dae-hyeon to leave you for good.
Why? Do you think I'm crossing the line here?
Perhaps I am.
But lines are meant to be crossed.
I feel so frustrated at times like this.
I did a good thing and yet, I'm misunderstood.
The receiver cannot be reached.
Dad, please answer your phone. Gosh.
SON
Do you make deliveries?
Even if the job just requires driving, I can't find someone right away.
Here I am.
This isn't just a coincidence. Isn't this fate?
I'm not sure what this is.
Yes, ma'am. You can stamp your seal here and here.
Where?
Right here and here.
ANNUITY NAME: KIM HYE-JA
You know what?
If I sign this contract, does it help you with your income?
It does more than that.
Thanks to you, I might be able to be named the Queen of the Insurance.
For the first time in my life, I might be able to get the crown.
Is that so? I see.
Then, I should sign it.
ANNUITY, NAME: KIM HYE-JA
I'm happy to crown a queen.
Thank you, ma'am.
Well…
when I bring the copy of the insurance policy,
I was going to bring a gift for you, but this is a separate gift.
Gosh, it's a bit embarrassing to give you this, though.
Even so, I thought I shouldn't come here empty-handed.
It's ham.
You can leave it there.
Okay…
I LOVE YOU
Well…
you told me about your daughter when I was here last time.
I thought about it again,
and it made me think that
her boyfriend is just as treasured as your daughter.
I'm sure he's a precious son to his family.
If they don't like each other, they can stop seeing each other.
I don't think this is a matter
of who's superior and lacking.
We can't make such judgments because their background is different.
What?
This is an insurance contract with an investment of ten million won.
And…
this is an insurance contract with an investment of less than 100,000 won.
At a glance,
they have a huge difference between them.
But if you think about it,
they are just two pieces of paper, aren't they?
Ms. Gong Bun-hui, you're the magician of annuities.
Congratulations to the new Queen of the Insurance.
-Congratulations! -Congratulations!
Congratulations.
Yes. Yeon-ju is an executive now.
It took longer than I expected, but she learned it from the bottom up.
Of course, I'm sure she will do a fantastic job.
Yes. Let's have brunch.
Yes. Sounds good.
But you know we can…
My gosh. What's happening?
Hey! Hey, the water. Hey!
Stop the water! My goodness!
Oh my goodness!
10-1, PYEONGCHANG 8-GIL
ONE SERVING: 5,000 WON TWO SERVINGS: 10,000 WON
-Ma'am, give me some chicken feet. -Hello.
It's really spicy, right?
Hey, my Hui
Where are you, Bun-hui?
My dear Hui
A day like today
Gosh…
Hui, I bought this because you became the Queen of the Insurance.
I'm the Queen.
But you bought mere chicken feet for me?
Goodness…
This is the tastiest dish in the world.
Yes, you're right. Good job.
Let's eat.
I went to a really famous restaurant to get this.
You picked the right restaurant. Good job. It's good.
-Let's have a drink. -Sure.
Wearing ties doesn't suit me.
So I quit.
Good job.
What's the point of wearing a tie?
Darn it.
You should have married a better guy.
I must have
betrayed my country in my previous life.
So how could I marry a good guy, Yong-pil?
Gosh. How much did you betray your country for?
About one million won.
What?
You know what?
Don't cry. Stop crying.
Don't cry. It's all right.
Why would you cry over that? Gosh, it's all right.
I'm fine. You know what?
Did they say one million won would be enough for it?
-For what? -You know,
a trip to Zhangjiajie or something.
Forget it.
I'm not going.
You should go. Go with your friends.
You said it's your lifelong dream.
You should go.
-It doesn't mean anything. -Just go on the trip.
The husband of the Queen can't skip such a trip.
Honey, why are you trying to send me abroad?
-Just eat. Eat the chicken feet. -Okay.
I'll eat it.
It's good.
-It's good. You bought a good one. -It's so good.
You bought a good one.
It's good.
This is one serving that's big enough to feed two people.
-It's really good. -Yes. You bought a good one.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Bye.
Hello…
It's 7,900 won.
Here you go. Thank you.
Hello…
This must be the house.
Hey, think about it logically. I'm her guardian.
It's absurd that I don't know where she's staying.
She signed the contract with a fake mom to be a trainee there.
I can't go to her agency and tell them that I'm her older sister
and that she doesn't have a mom.
I can't do that, you know. I won't do anything.
Can you just ask them the address? Please, Puppy.
-Saet-byeol, you… -I won't go.
If I go, you can call me Puppy. Okay?
Wait…
-Not really. -Gosh.
Go to sleep early. I'll pick you up at 6 a.m.
-You shouldn't drink. -No, I won't.
Hey, can I come up after making a phone call?
-Make it quick. -Okay.
I'm doing well. I might make a debut soon.
Tell your pastor father to pray for me.
Be careful, especially with Geum-bi.
The moment she finds out, my sister will find out.
And I can kiss my debut goodbye.
What? You?
Of course, I miss you after my sister.
Hey, she's my only family. She's in a different league.
Anyway, I'm going to call my sister after I make my debut.
"Saet-byeol, I finally debuted.
Come and kill me. I'll send you the address."
Gosh…
-You startled me. -You startled me.
Saet-byeol…
Hey…
How is it? Is it doable?
You're not fighting with the members you live with, right?
Saet-byeol, I'm Jung Eun-byeol of Balgwang Girls' High School.
Don't worry.
How can I not worry? That's why I'm worried.
You even hired someone to be your mom.
Hey, don't you remember what I told you?
People like you and I have to be more careful and behave better.
I don't know what to do since this already happened.
Saet-byeol…
I'm not sure if Ji-uk is right and I should give you a chance,
or if Mr. Choi is right and being honest is the best way.
Once I make my debut and become famous,
I'll talk to the team manager and take care of this.
But not now, Saet-byeol.
-Do you want more? -Pour it.
-Okay. -Hey, you're not going to eat it?
If I eat noodles, my face will get so puffy tomorrow.
Hey, noodles aren't fattening.
That's ridiculous.
-What will you do if I get puffy? -Why would I do anything for that?
I'll eat this, then. You're paying for this.
You stole all the money I had.
It's Sunday. Can I still register a package?
Of course.
This goes from one convenience store to another. You can do it anytime.
-I see. Really? -Yes.
It really is convenient.
Hello…
-Hi. -Hello.
It's 4,900 won.
Mr. Choi, is it really true that Saet-byeol quit?
That's sad.
-Here. -Thank you.
-Bye. -Bye. Thank you.
Make sure to register it at the counter.
-Here you go. -Okay.
-Here. Thank you. Bye. -Thank you. Bye.
Puppy, are you home?
Hello…
I didn't expect to see you here.
The thing is, I suddenly got scammed and lost my house.
So I had nowhere to go.
Isn't the elevator here really fast? You got up here in an instant, didn't you?
What?
Ji-uk worked really hard to get to his current position.
He worked twice as hard as others so he could become who he is now.
Ms. Jung, celebrities can lose their fame in an instant.
You're Ji-uk's close friend.
I hope you understand the kind of situation he's in.
Where am I going to go now?
This is so interesting. He calls me every time I think of him.
Hey, Mr. Choi.
Saet-byeol, why are you upsetting my mom?
What? What did I do?
She's worried that you're not coming home, so come home right now, okay?
Really?
Then I guess I should go. Okay, I'll be right there.
Why would she worry my mom? My goodness.
Dae-hyeon, did you eat?
Dad. Yes, I ate.
Did you eat, Dad?
No, I need to eat now.
-Then should I set the table for you? -No, it's okay.
Don't forget to always put on a smile for the customers, okay?
Okay…
Dad, I'll be off to work now.
Don't worry about me, you punk.
I'm a man from Busan. I'm Choi Yong-pil, okay?
Dad…
You're the strongest in Taejongdae. Cheer up.
Okay. You too.
-I'll see you, Dad. -Okay, bye.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Dal-sik. -Yes?
Do me a favor and take my place for tonight.
Don't eat the expired stuff today.
This isn't a lot of money, but I wanted to give you this.
Use this to eat whatever you want.
Okay. I just finished work, so I don't have anything to do until tomorrow anyway.
Okay, that's good to hear. I'll go clear my head.
Yes, I'm sure there's a lot on your head because of your love life.
Dal-sik…
No, I'm just saying that's my hunch as a webtoon artist.
Go on. I'll be talking to the guy who sounds like a woman.
Hey, I was just kidding.
I know, but you kind of meant it.
I'm kind of quick with stuff like that, so I got the message.
Dal-sik…
Leave the store to me. Go on.
Okay, I'll be off now. See you.
Dae-hyeon, brush it off and come back on the last bus.
Come to think of it, I have stuff to do!
I thought he gave me 50,000 won. I can't believe he only gave me 5,000 won.
Ma'am…
Sir?
What is the matter with you? Do you think this is a motel?
Ma'am…
You just come and go whenever you want
and don't care about the people who are waiting for you.
If you were going to spend the night out, you should've called so we won't worry.
I thought you'd just sleep if I didn't come home.
How can I sleep when a family member isn't home yet? Would you?
I stayed up all night!
"Family"?
As long as you live here, you're our family!
I'm your guardian, not a motel owner.
My goodness, look at you cry.
That's enough. Stop crying.
Haven't you gotten hold of your sister yet?
I found out where she is.
My goodness, that's great.
Then why don't you come back to work?
Never mind. I'm off to work now.
Have a good day.
Okay. I'll see you later.
FOR MS. JUNG SAET-BYUL
I wonder if Mr. Choi is also thinking about me.
Don't you regret quitting your job?
I mean, this is all very sudden.
You love convenience stores,
and that's why you got a job at our company.
But now, you're going to quit and start a convenience store?
How am I supposed to understand this?
Well…
You see, I don't think
a convenience store is merely a place where you buy stuff.
It's a place that stays bright 24-7 and protects the neighborhood.
It's like a friend to those who are hungry, lonely,
and those who need to buy something.
It's also a place where I can give a positive influence to people.
Yeon-ju, you see,
I want to create my own type of convenience store.
Why did you get a job at our company instead of doing this from the start?
My gosh, don't you know why?
It was so I could meet you.
My gosh, you're such a good liar now.
You'll be a great businessman.
Of course.
I'll do really well and own ten branches.
So you just wait and see. I'm going to succeed.
What is it? Let me see.
-No. -"No"?
You need to pay to see this.
Does it become free if I wait?
You know how webtoons work.
-Where is Mr. Choi? -I guess you don't know.
Dae-hyeon went to clear his mind.
-He got dumped. -What?
Mr. Choi broke up with his girlfriend?
Yes.
My gosh, he must be heartbroken.
Daily Guru.
Your dream will come true.
You're being really obvious.
Where…
I can tell by the look on your face.
No, where is he?
Dae-hyeon?
I can't tell you that.
It's really hot today.
This is a cooling mat.
Don't you need this when you work?
You're going to give me that for free?
That depends on you.
Dae-hyeon told me to keep it a secret.
So I can't tell anyone.
I know! Seagulls?
I know! The beach!
-Bingo. -Which beach? Give me a speed quiz.
The one for sorrowful souls that starts with an "E."
I got it. Eurwangni Beach?
-That's right. -Here.
Keep it safe and give it to Mr. Choi when he comes back.
Let me use it at least for a while.
I can't believe she lied.
That evil brat.
APHRODITE
Hello, señorita.
Aphrodite…
Right now,
I'm standing by the window and thinking of storylines.
I'm lying down now.
The sky is really beautiful today.
It's very bright.
I'm trying to come up with ideas for my webtoon these days.
I tend to focus on trends.
The spicy cheese flavor.
The way people feel.
I focus on the details and the specific parts of…
My goodness
I was so caught up with talking to you over the phone.
I can't believe we've been talking for over 30 minutes already.
Aphrodite, where are you
right now?
Well, I'm on my way to meet a friend, and I'm almost there.
No, you can hang up first.
No…
I'd rather die
than hang up on you first.
Mr. Fire Volcano.
Your life is more precious than mine.
Don't ever say something like that.
Hey, what the… How could you hang up on him?
That's enough.
You were having a hard time hanging up, so I did it for you.
Are you jealous?
I'm not jealous. I'm embarrassed, you brat.
You're so annoying. Mr. Fire Volcano…
My phone is still burning hot.
It's like I can feel Aphrodite's affection for me.
My gosh, what's wrong with that guy?
Let him be.
Maybe he's in love with an AI.
You have a point.
He won't ever be able to become close with a normal human being.
But what's he doing there? We're here to see Saet-byeol.
Hey, go and ask him.
Rock, paper, scissors!
Darn it.
Gosh, this is so annoying.
My woman
Hey, did Saet-byeol come here?
She was here, but she left.
Where?
I can't tell you. It's a secret.
How absurd.
Are you saying you know something about her that I don't?
It's Dae-hyeon's secret, not hers.
She just happened to find out by coincidence.
I'm not allowed to tell you anything more.
So stop asking questions. Now, get lost if you get the point.
So are you saying you can't tell me?
You're Saet-byeol's friend. Just call her and ask!
And this is a very precious time for me. Stop wasting my time and leave.
Listen…
By any chance, do you have time?
Why? What if I do?
The thing is, I'm also dating an AI.
I'm serious. If you're okay, why don't we go on a double date?
My boyfriend's name is Johnson. What's your girlfriend's name? Samantha?
-Hey. -What?
-Have you gone crazy? -You're the one who's crazy!
Why would you kiss your cell phone? Are you a wireless charger?
You look mentally ill. You should go to the hospital.
I'm sorry, but you're the one who needs to go to the hospital.
You look way too old to be 22. Your aging speed is like 5G.
-You look like the moon. -"The moon"?
Yes, the moon. You look like the surface of the moon.
You know what? Don't bother going to a hospital.
I'll help you come to your senses instead.
Go away.
-I might just… -You little…
Let me go! Let go!
Are you serious? You little jerk.
Hey, let's go.
I'm sorry.
Aphrodite…
I can't believe a person like her even exists.
What's that?
Gosh, I must be drunk.
I'm seeing things now.
What…
Is this…
My gosh, is this real?
It looks so real.
Is it really real?
-Hey, you… -You almost ripped my cheeks.
What are you doing here? Is it really you?
I thought I'd be joining you for sashimi.
Why are you eating this? You're like a kid who ran away from home.
Hey, why do you keep showing up like a ghost?
Well, someone keeps texting me every time I think of him.
Who's that?
Who do you think?
Hey, stop scaring me.
Don't tell me you're talking about me.
Forget it.
-Give me some of that. -No, get your own.
There's a convenience store over there. And look around you. The beach is huge.
You really are stingy.
You stingy manager. Gosh, let me have a sip.
-My gosh, give me some. -Hey.
Are you serious right now?
Hey, don't drink it all! I only bought one bottle! This is it!
It's mine!
Ji-uk, don't you need to eat dinner?
-No, it's okay. I'll eat at home. -Hey, wait.
Saet-byeol isn't home.
What?
I went to your place this morning to pick up a file.
And I was startled to see her sleeping there.
I talked some sense into her, and she willingly left.
You kicked out my guest without even telling me?
You should've discussed it with me before you invited a friend.
But this is my house.
The agency provided you with this accommodation.
Why won't you let me hang around with Saet-byeol?
Because she's of no help to you.
Then what about celebrities?
-That depends on whom it is. -Sir!
Ji-uk, you're a celebrity. You earn a living thanks to your fans.
And it's not just you. The agency and staff also depend on your fame.
You should think carefully before you do anything.
Puppy, thanks for letting me sleep over. From Saet-byeol.
Forget it.
Dae-hyeon, why are you here?
Is it to get over me?
Yes…
Yes, I'm here to clear my mind and get over you.
Yeon-ju…
You see,
I don't mind the reason you wanted to break up with me.
But it really breaks my heart
that we had to break up the way we did.
I was the only one who had to get hurt.
But… But my family…
You even hurt my family.
Gosh, stop drinking.
Hey, you…
What's going on? What are you doing here?
Who do you think I am?
What kind of question is that? You're the girl
who asked me to buy you cigarettes.
Then you came running like a rhino and my lips…
-"Lips"? -My lips…
What did I do?
Do you know what I'm going through right now?
My dad's pride was hurt because of me.
My goodness.
What is this? Do you have dissociative identity disorder?
You're awful when you're drunk. You stingy manager!
Hey, I'm not stingy. You're too feisty.
You're always getting into fights, you feisty little girl!
You're a feisty girl.
I must've been crazy. I can't believe I liked you for ten years.
Ten years is long enough to change mountains and rivers.
That means the expiration date for mountains and rivers is ten years.
If I knew you were like this, I never would've kept you in my heart.
Why would you keep me anywhere? I'm not an object.
Or maybe I'm a fertile chicken egg.
A fertile chicken egg. That's me.
I've never wanted to kill someone this badly.
What? "Badly"? I've never wanted to drink this badly!
Hey, let's drink alcohol! But I think I've had too much to drink.
When do I need to throw him into the sea so he can float far away?
Mr. Choi.
Do you know when I started having feelings for you?
It was when you saved me.
You don't know when that happened, do you?
It was ten years ago.
-One, two, three! -Taekwondo!
-Puppy, do you know how to do this? -What?
-One, two, three! -Taekwondo!
Yes…
-One, two, three! -Taekwondo!
One, two.
-Then how about this? -Three, four!
What?
You deserved that. You'd better practice harder.
Hey, kid. Are you okay?
No, I wasn't okay.
Ever since that day, I never once forgot about you.
But you don't remember, do you?
It's okay because I'll make sure you remember that soon.
I'm going to make you remember that day for the rest of your life.
You look so happy.
I look forward to working with you, Ms. Jung Saet-byeol
Let's meet.
I'm off to meet her
-I'm here to discuss something -What is it about?
A couple who broke up meets again for work.
It looks like you're using Saet-byeol to get over your ex-girlfriend.
I'm going to make you remember for the rest of your life.
I have something to say to you.
