SWEET AND SOUR

Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee?

Wake up. Mr. Lee.

NEW SNEAKERS

The jaundice is severe.

He has a high fever too.

This level of jaundice means
it's just the beginning.

The pain level should be at its peak.

Right.

- How do you know that?
- What?

Get back to your beds. Go on.

Okay.



Ms. Jung, I'm having
trouble urinating...

- May I get some mist?
- It's normal.

- I keep drooling.
- It's okay.

Mr. Lee Jang-hyeok.

Mr. Lee Jang-hyeok.

Mr. Lee Jang-hyeok. Wake up.

You have to wake up.

- Mr. Lee Jang-hyeok.
- Yes?

Applicant number 2567,

Computer Engineering major,
Lee Jang-hyeok.

It's hard to find a job these days,
isn't it?

Your body must have gotten weak
from working so hard to find a job.

No.

I passed.

I got my acceptance letter.

Congratulations, Mr. Engineering.

Don't worry and rest. Okay?

Mom.

My goodness.

You look terrible.

Mom...

- My gosh. You've gotten so thin.
- Wait.

What is that? Mom?

Put your mask on.

Seriously. What are you doing?

Close the curtain.

What if we catch his hepatitis...
Or won't we?

We're in a hospital
so it should be fine.

It's dry here.

Excuse me...

What?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

See you.

Why is she always angry?

No. She looks pretty today.

What?

He's been here for too long.

Hey. Don't my hands
look a little yellow?

- It's begun.
- What?

- How do you know?
- Here's your mask.

- I should have put it on earlier.
- Seriously...

Let me know if you need anything, okay?

I'll send you lots of good food.

You can stay.

Mommy loves you.

Daddy loves you too.

Seriously.

Hang in there, son!

Let's go. Hurry!

Leave the door open, will you?

Take him with you.

HYEOK'S HOSPITALIZED?
LET'S GO VISIT

I'LL BRING CHICKEN!
HE HAS HEPATITIS

IT'S OKAY, COME

I'LL PRAY FOR YOU FROM HERE
WE'LL VISIT IN SPIRIT

I LIKE YOU HEALTHY
CAN WE CATCH IT VIA CHAT?

BYE

INCHEON JUAN GENERAL HOSPITAL

Wait. Hey.

You shouldn't open the curtain.

- He has hepatitis. What if we catch it?
- It's dangerous.

You can't catch hepatitis from him.

How do you know that?

Isn't it super contagious?

He has hepatitis. It's not contagious.

Hepatitis B is not contagious.

- Am I really okay?
- What if we do, though?

Close the curtain!

Fine! Okay!

I'm closing it for him.

- Close it all the way. Do it.
- I'm sure it's contagious?

It's bad enough that you're sick.

People can be so mean, right?

Don't worry about it, and relax.

I'll give you a special prescription
for a quick recovery.

I'M GLAD I GOT SICK

IS THE HOSPITAL FOOD GOOD?

I FEEL PROTECTED

DO YOU HAVE GOOD WIFI?

DO THEY HAVE A BIG CONVENIENCE STORE?

Shit. You scared me.

It was you, Mr. Engineering.

I thought you were the head nurse.

What? Is it weird seeing a nurse smoke?

No. It's cute.

It's my graduation ring.

I see.

Did you say you got a job?

- A permanent position?
- Yes.

Lucky you.

I'm on contract.

But they work me like a dog.
It's so annoying.

Have you been on eight-hour shifts?

You never recover from being tired.

I'm smoking this to wake myself up.

Who's smoking in here?

Sir.

You can't smoke in here.

If I catch you again,
I'll have you discharged.

Well, right...

I hate the smell of cigarette smoke.

Why does he have to smoke here?
I just don't get it.

Why are you smoking?

- Go back to your room!
- Okay.

All right. I won't open the curtain.

Thank you so much for yesterday.

They would have docked my pay
if they caught me.

It's okay.

Eat up. You have to eat a lot
to get better.

Eat up, okay?

Yes.

You shouldn't be a picky eater.

Oh, my gosh.
What the hell is wrong with me?

Oh, no.

I haven't eaten all day,
so I must have been hungry.

I'll buy you food next time.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay. You can eat with me.

Leave Mr. Engineering alone.

"Mr. Engineering"?

She took my chopsticks.

She's so cute.

Here, Hyeok.

You don't mind if I call you "Hyeok,"
do you?

No. Of course, not.

I'm so sleepy, Hyeok.

Let me stay here for a minute.

How long was I sleeping?

It hasn't even been a minute.

I MAY BE FLIRTING WITH A NURSE

YOU MUST STILL BE VERY SICK

IS SHE PRETTY?

I SHOULD FIND A COMMON INTEREST

YOU SHOULD GET OUT OF THERE
COME BACK TO REALITY

Jaundice!

Should you or should you not
be smoking here?

Damn it. What am I going to do?

I WON'T SMOKE AGAIN

PATIENT CALL
LEE JANG-HYEOK

VITAMINS TO REPLENISH ENERGY!

Thank you.

HOPE THIS FILLS YOU UP

TAKE A NAP! I'LL WAKE YOU

I slept for too long.

It was 172.

You slept for 2 minutes, 52 seconds.

Thank you, Hyeok.

LEE JANG-HYEOK

Two hundred and eighty-one...

two hundred and eighty-two...

two hundred and eighty-three...

two hundred and eighty-four.

Hundred and twenty-one...

Three hundred and fifty-nine...

Thousand and fifty-one...

GET HEALTHY!

LEE JANG-HYEOK

He wants to get some fresh air.

I'll be back soon.

These Finnish macarons
are absolutely delicious.

Yes.

Where are my expensive Finnish macarons?

Give them back. They're a gift
for the head nurse.

- How should we know?
- You know my ginseng?

The one that costs 5,000 won.
That disappeared too.

It wasn't me.

Hey, Yellow! Did you see—

Stop it. It wasn't him.

- He doesn't step outside.
- It's probably him.

You should've told me.

- Are you accusing me?
- The head nurse...

Put your hand on this.

- Do I have to?
- Yes.

Have you ever touched
someone else's food?

I have not!

See? I knew it was you!

- It was you wasn't it?
- I knew it!

Your mother is a great cook.

Your girlfriend is lucky.

No freaking way I have a girlfriend.

I can't stand people who talk like that.

Hey, Da-eun.

That patient's chart...

Da-eun. Da-eun...

- Hello.
- Hi.

Did you sleep well last night?

I was so tired that I just left.

How do you feel?

- I'm kind of gassy, but I'm fine.
- I had fun last night.

- You're gassy.
- You were great too.

Did you have ramyeon last night?

- You can't have flour-based food!
- A little. Just the broth.

- From what I saw yesterday...
- You had macarons before.

- You have to watch what you eat.
- What is he saying?

- It won't happen again.
- You shouldn't go easy...

How do you feel?

You should be able to go home
in a day or two.

What? In a day or two?

When should I discharge you?

Let's schedule your discharge
for the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow?

Wait!

Yes?

I still don't feel well.

Can't I...

stay two or three more weeks?

You can go home and come in
for outpatient treatments.

Let's finish our team
dinner quickly and...

What is wrong with you?

Even if he's a doctor,
you shouldn't chat.

And what did you say to him
that he doesn't want to go home?

And you want to take a day off?

What?

Damn it.

I THINK I SHOULD ASK HER OUT

YOU NEED A RING THEN

SHE HAS ONE ALREADY

OR MAYBE FLOWERS?

AT THIS HOUR?

WEREN'T YOU TALKING ABOUT A GAME?

STILL SICK, I SEE...

PATIENT CALL
LEE JANG-HYEOK

What?

It's nothing!

Son! Were you waiting for me?

You're looking good.

Why are you here?

Damn it.

He's upset.

He has his mom's temper.

Hyeok really must have been sick.
He lost so much weight.

It's the hospital food.
They're all low-sodium.

They say a low-sodium diet is dangerous.

Right. I hate low-sodium food.

Hyeok.

You don't think that nurse is real,
do you?

You were hallucinating
because you were sick.

We don't get girls like that.

What do you mean?
Da-eun likes me so much!

So, you named her Da-eun.

Are you sure it isn't "Daeun-chan"?

Damn it.

Hey! That's not cooked yet.

- You'll end up in the hospital again.
- That's what I want!

EMERGENCY DIRECTORY

"Jung Da-eun."

Here it is.

It's 010-6687...

- What are you doing?
- What?

What?

I've missed you!

It's 010-6687...

So you're here.

It's 010-6687...

Is this Jung Da-eun's phone?

It's 6687...

Hello?

I'm sorry.

Six, six, eight, seven...

Hello?

Hello?

- Hyeok?
- What?

Yes, it's me. Lee Jang-hyeok.

How did you get my number?

Well...

I went to the hospital yesterday,

and you weren't there, so...

I took a few days off
because I wasn't feeling well.

What?

Are you okay now? What's wrong?

I'm fine.

Thank God.

Thank God, you're okay.

Why did you call me?

Well... So...

What do you think about me?

Excuse me?

You weren't nice to me
only because I was a patient, right?

Actually, Da-eun...

I like you very, very much.

Do you want to come over?

Sorry?

I'm home alone right now.

Do you want to come over?

What is it, son?

I'm taking the car!

What did he say?

He's taking the car.

What?

Hey! Why are you taking the car?

VITAMIN DRINK

Hello.

You got here so quickly.

Here.

You didn't have to.

Come in.

- Why are you standing there?
- What?

Come and sit.

Okay.

I'm sorry for coming so late.

I told you to come.

Yes.

Your perm looks very pretty.

You should rest. I'll go now.

Do you want to sleep over?

Excuse me?

Stay with me.

I really wanted to sleep
holding you tight like this.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

How could you make a mistake like that?

SON, WHY AREN'T YOU BACK YET?

DAD CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE OF THE CAR!

Hyeok?

Are you up?

I saw seaweed on the table.

Thank you for changing the light bulb.

What?

Wait.

No. It's not like that.

No.

He dies.

Him.

Hey.

Are you seeing someone?

Yes.

Liar.

It's true, Dad.

- Da-eun, are you good with assault rifles?
- Not really.

Damn it, that fatty.

Da-eun!

My girlfriend Da-eun!

Okay, I'll call you.

You should go.

That's a luxury car.

Really? Is it expensive?

Yes. That's...

Da-eun, who's fatter? Him or me?

You're so cute.
Why are you even comparing?

Really?

I NEVER GET TO SEE MY SON ANYMORE

HEY, YOU PUNK!

BRING BACK THE CAR!

Da-eun, where's your ring?

I lost it.

I took it off for a bit,
and I don't know where it went.

I see.

DID YOU USE MY CREDIT CARD AGAIN?

BRING BACK MY CAR!!!

Da-eun.

You should quit your job
once I find my own place.

It breaks my heart
to see you working so hard.

You can hug me.

- Damn it.
- Headshot!

She's really good.

Don't ask her to play again, you fatty.

- Hyeok.
- Yes?

Someone I know says they'll give me
their vacation package to Jeju.

Want to go with me?

What?

I should look up
some nice restaurants there.

This is the largest they have.

- Should we get this as our matching shirt?
- Sure.

- It's adorable.
- It looks fine.

This looks perfect on you.

Let's have some macarons.

Try this one.

Try it.

No, I'm not eating them anymore.

Why not?

I won't.

Didn't you come once before?

Since you came before,
I'll give it to you for 5,000 won.

- Really?
- Yes.

- Thank you.
- Good night.

Wait.

I'll get off here.

Da-eun!

Da-eun! Sorry.

My dad hid the car key.

I should've picked you up,

but my dad said he'd kill me
if I took the car again.

Ta-da.

Do you like them?

Did you get us matching sneakers
because we couldn't get matching shirts?

No.

I thought these would look good on you.

Do you like them?

Yes, totally.

Da-eun. Let's go to Jeju again
next Christmas as well.

I'll wear these sneakers that you got me,
and lose all this weight,

so that we can wear
matching shirts next year.

I promise I'll lose weight. Okay?

Look, Da-eun.
I'll really lose weight, okay?

I really am going to lose weight.

I'll do it.

OLD SNEAKERS

What is that? Egg souffle?

You're good.

- What time are you going today?
- At three.

Eight-hour shifts are hell.

See you.

Bye.

Hyeok!

Hold on.

No. Take out the recycling.

Okay.

Okay.

- My goodness.
- Is it heavy?

No. See you later.

MAKE RECYCLING A WAY OF LIFE
AND SAVE THE WORLD ONE STEP AT A TIME

Damn it, what the hell?

But I'm busy...

I'm being dispatched?

Don't scare me like that.

What do you mean, a large corporation?

I'm not kidding.

I only said "dispatch" earlier
because of the others.

You'll be a permanent employee
at a large corporation.

Don't think about anything else

and just work your tail off

when you get there.

It's not like I'm happy

to lose one of my own.

Do you think I can do it?

Listen.

You're talented.

You'll do better than okay there.

I want you to succeed in a better place.

That's why I'm sending you.

Chief...

Yes.

- I'll do my best.
- Okay.

- Wish me luck.
- Good luck.

He practically begged me.

"It's a great opportunity.
You have to go."

A large corporation wants me.

They're finally appreciating
what I can do.

That's great.

What's wrong?

Should I not go?

You should.
It's a great opportunity for you, Hyeok.

Of course. It's a great opportunity.

For me, and for you.

For us both—

But Hyeok.
Shouldn't you consult with me—

Look at her.

Is she dating at the hospital?

- I have to go.
- Look at them all lovey-dovey.

- Throw that out for me.
- I'm not done eating.

See you later.

Hang in there.

Give me a break.

Doesn't he look familiar?

Right?

He seems so familiar.

Da-eun, are you good
with assault rifles?

- That fatty is still...
- Then did you always play sniper?

- Go on.
- So you always played a sniper.

- We're off.
- Bye.

- I'll call you. Sniper?
- Okay.

There.

What's this?

I felt bad borrowing my dad's car
all the time,

so I bought my own.

Can you afford it?

- Get in first.
- But...

It's fine.

You haven't had a ring
since you lost your graduation ring.

So I got it for you.

It's so pretty.

Thank you.

You don't have to worry anymore.

I have a car now,
so I'll come back and forth every day.

Don't worry, okay?

It's a clear Monday,
but commuting to work is still a chore.

There's quite a lot of traffic
on Gyeongin Expressway

- towards Seoul.
- Damn traffic...

- Sinwol IC to Seoul and Yeouido
- Damn it.

is also jammed up with traffic.

It will take a couple of hours...

They should have gotten up earlier.

Excuse me. I was dispatched—

Good morning.

Ma'am. Let me introduce the new members
added to the team for this project.

No. Lee...

- It's Jang...
- Lee Jang-hyeok.

- It's—
- Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Introduce yourself.

I'm Han Bo-yeong. It's nice to meet you.

Let's "cheer up" together.

Yes.

Let's do this.

What the...

Gosh...

- What the hell?
- What?

There's one more person here.

Really?

Large corporations sure are different.

They're not easy.

What the heck is this?

Just take it easy then.

Your job's still here.

I bought a car
and even rented a place in Seoul.

- I can't go back.
- Gosh.

Then you'll have to do well
if you want to stay there.

Damn it.

What about Chinese today?

Yes. I think rice will be good.

I don't crave any Korean food today.

What the...

She's always scowling.

Don't be like that.
You just have to do a better job.

You're colleagues, so be nice.

Congrats on your first day of work.

Cheers.

You can just get closer to people
and make them appreciate your worth.

One, two, three, four...

What the...

Do you need help?

No. I'm fine.

- Have some coffee.
- Bo-yeong.

- It's Americano.
- Appreciate it.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

- Thanks.
- Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Sir. Here's some coffee.

Thank you, Bo-yeong.

What are you—

Hey.

Shouldn't you tell them
that I bought them?

What?

I was just helping.

I guess you want to brag
that you bought coffee.

I'm sorry.

I should just let you spill the coffee
next time.

What's this?

They said the bridge was urgent,
not the substructure.

Didn't you hear during the meeting?

I know.

I was just checking it out.

You should thank me.

You almost got in trouble.

That was close.

Jang-hyeok. Don't you see everyone else
sketching the substructure?

You're the only one
working on the bridge.

Pay attention to what I say.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you—

It's a woman?

That crazy person?

If it were a guy, I would've...

She sounds like she's no joke.

It must be so hard for you.

You know I hate sweets.

Yes. You absolutely hate it
in case you gain weight.

She shoved a candy in my mouth.
A mint candy of all things.

She did?

She must be crazy. What's her problem?

- She's crazy.
- She really is a weirdo.

We got this patient today, and—

I'm so pissed off.

I don't know what to do.

Shouldn't we book now
if we want to go to Jeju for Christmas?

You take care of it.

Come here.

In a minute.

Come here.

Let me think. Give me one minute.

How do I get back at her?

Nice.

Who came up with this creative idea?

Bo-yeong.

She just got here.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

There's a problem with that structure.

What?

That is a flood zone.

There's a risk of the bridge collapsing.

I believe the bridge design

should be completely reexamined.

WARNING

So...

This isn't the final version,
so we'll restructure it

and revise the design a little...

What's the English word for that?

Yes, we'll "crystal" it
before the deadline.

- It should be fine.
- Okay.

Why don't the two new employees
work on this?

We can see what your abilities are like.

- You are excellent and—
- Shall we go?

Shall we...

Give us some time and we'll do it again
and make it perfect.

This will collapse.

Good luck.

That little...

No. It's too weak.

What is this?

Damn it.

Is this that hard?

What?

Let's get moving.

I need to go home.

She's so gross.

I'M DONE NOW. WHEN ARE YOU DONE?

I'LL HEAD OUT NOW

I'm going home.

You can finish it by morning, right?

- Why are you staring at me?
- I'm not looking at you.

You must be cross-eyed.

Good bye.

- Are you going to leave her like that?
- Pardon?

- On purpose?
- What...

Good.

What the hell?

Move, will you?

Da-eun!

Jung Da-eun!

- I totally got revenge.
- Hey.

Wash up.

- In a minute.
- No. Wash up.

- In a minute.
- Please?

In a bit.

Da-eun.

Sorry. I must've been
too exhausted last night.

Isn't it too hard to
commute from Incheon?

If you get off work too late,

we can meet this weekend.
I might have a day off.

You don't need to come every day.

Really?

Yes, it's fine.

Okay, then. I'll see you this weekend.

- Okay.
- Okay.

What the...

How frightening.

Okay.

Hold on.

What is that foul smell?

Don't eat in the conference room.
No eating.

She's a tough one.

I'm so tired.

She's so gross.

We're still in here!

Why are they turning off the lights?

Turn on—

Hey, Mr. Jang.

I was just trying to lend you
a helping hand.

What?

You have to seize the opportunity
when it presents itself.

Only an amateur thinks too much
and misses out.

Just turn on the light.

Be a pro.

Seriously.

Seriously. She's so gross.

Excuse me. Either eat or work.
Just do one at a time.

I'm eating to stay awake, you prick!

Do you know how badly I want to go home?

Being dirty doesn't matter.

It's this bridge that matters.

This design!

Look how pretty this is.

I swear I'll make this work
and leave it looking pretty.

You're the reason I can't go home.

Who cares if I'm dirty?

Just do this.

I'M OFF TOMORROW. YOU CAN COME, RIGHT?

YOU MUST BE BUSY

You need good talent
to refresh the company.

Our team members should hurry
and catch up.

Regardless, we got a good result,

- so take the team out.
- Thank you.

Thank you, boss.

Please take a shower.

I beg you.

Please?

I like that bridge so much.

I'LL BE DONE SOON. YOU'RE COMING, RIGHT?

I'M AT A COMPANY DINNER
I'LL LEAVE SOON

I MISS YOU SO MUCH, DA-EUN

You got some on you.

Damn it.

- Have a drink.
- Excuse me?

Have a drink.

I've injured my liver.

I don't think I should drink.

- I'm sorry.
- Okay.

- Funny. You're funny.
- I'm sorry.

It must have been serious.

Slow down.

Calm down.

- Why does he care?
- Bo-yeong. Jang-hyeok.

- Yes, sir.
- Quickly. Come on.

Come here. Come.

You leave.

Sir. Let me pour you a drink.

- Okay.
- Good.

- Bo-yeong.
- Please pour me one too.

Okay, Bo-yeong.

Slow down.

You two have such great chemistry.
It's good.

Keep cooperating together

and work on the next
underground project together.

Wait, sir. Our team is already
working on that.

Keep making a good impression

- on the team.
- Stop drinking too much.

What's another word for "impression"?

That's right.

- Keep making a good face on the team.
- Don't drink too much.

Then we'll continue to have
a good relationship.

Pour me one please.

- One more? Okay.
- Okay!

You're drinking too much...

- Me too?
- Let me pour you one.

Sir. Where did you learn English?

Your English is so good.
Your pronunciation is...

like a Japanese police officer
from the colonial era.

But your choice of words
is Korean-American.

You know a lot of words.

But your pronunciation is like...

a pro-Japanese collaborator!

A pro-Japanese collaborator!

A pro-Japanese collaborator!

- A pro-Japanese collaborator!
- She's drunk.

I'll take her outside.

I hate pro-Japanese collaborator!

What's that in English?

I'm not drunk!

One more soju!

Why is there so much traffic
at this hour?

Da-eun.

Jung Da-eun.

The head nurse suddenly changed
my day off again.

It's so annoying.

I'm working tonight again.

Sorry. I wanted to see you.

- Okay.
- Right.

Rest up and go to work.

Also, I bought a new light bulb.
Can you change it?

Okay.

I'll do it tomorrow.

I can't even move.

I'm so tired. I can't right now.

I didn't do anything stupid last night,
right?

What?

Don't you remember?

I took a shower.

Don't I smell nice?

Come to my desk, both of you.

I want you two to take over everything
the Project Team Three had been doing.

I'll tell them to hand over the project.

It was frustrating to watch them work.

I'm so glad that you two are here.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

- Good morning.
- Hello.

Hey.

Hey.

I like it

when you support me from behind.

What do you say?
You like working with me, right?

Yes.

A support system or a service zone
would be good here.

I think it'll look more bountiful.

I CAN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT

IT'S SUPER SLOW
SINCE IT'S JUST TWO OF US WORKING

Let's go.

What should we eat?

Pork trotters!

Pork trotters?

- Yes. Pork trotters.
- Pork trotters!

ARE YOU VERY BUSY AGAIN TODAY?

YEAH, I'M DYING HERE

IS IT JUST YOU TWO AGAIN TONIGHT?

YES, I'M WORKING TONIGHT AGAIN

I NEED TO

Hey. Get off your phone.

I'm sorry.

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

COME TONIGHT NO MATTER HOW LATE IT IS

SORRY! I NEED TO PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER

I PROMISE I'LL GO TOMORROW!

Him again? Seriously.

What are you doing, Hyeok?

Shit...

YOU'LL COME TOMORROW, RIGHT?

YES! I PROMISE I'LL BE THERE TOMORROW!

SEE YOU TOMORROW. MISS YOU

I MISS YOU TOO, DA-EUN

A bridge that connects nature.

With this bridge,
nature and the city become one.

What do you think, boss?

It's good.

Let's go for it.

Our aces.

Send these to the team,
let's move on to the next stage!

Let's go.

Well done.

Let's grab a drink tonight.

Just us contract workers.

I'm the manager, so I'll buy.

Sure. Let's do that.

You drink soju bombs, right?

- I'm driving.
- Don't be lame. Call a designated driver.

That's too much soju.

Just drink.

You know, I like the way you work.

Except how humorless you are.

Here.

Maybe it has been too long
since I drank.

I'm getting drunk.

Stop drinking.

Damn it.

Why should I stop?

MY LOVE DA-EUN

I'll be right back.

Hi, Da-eun.

Where are you?

When are you coming?

I'm not done with work yet.

You're still working?

Yeah, I'm not done yet.

So you can't come tonight?

I told you I have something important
to tell you. Can't you come late?

I should go even if it's late, but...

I'm with my boss and everyone.

I don't think I can go.

You sound like you're outside.
It's noisy.

Yes, we're eating right now.

My boss is in the groove,

so he won't stop talking.

- Okay.
- Sorry.

It's okay.

- I need to get back.
- Okay.

Sorry.

Okay.

Why were you on the phone for so long?

Let's drink.

Bottoms up.

I think it'll be better to secure this
and this. What do you think?

I like it a lot.

What about you?

Why did the lights go out?

I think...

we should be a little bolder.

I should go home.

There should be a traffic jam.

- I should hurry.
- What the hell?

Wait...

Where are you going?

- Hey, Mr. Jang.
- Damn it.

- Hey, Mr. Jang. Hold on.
- Damn it.

- Hang on a second. You can't go like this.
- Get away!

You'll be frustrated

if you leave like this.

This is so frustrating.

There's so much traffic.

Hey.

Will you take out the trash out front?

I'll take it out later.

Just take it out now.

You're going to wash up
and go right to sleep.

I'm really tired. I'll do it later.

You still haven't
changed the light bulb.

Just take it out now.

I will do it, but...

Do you have to talk about the trash
as soon as I walk in?

Look.

I've been working night shifts lately

and just got back. I'm exhausted too.

Why are you being so irritable
about the trash?

Hey. I came, didn't I?

You're being irritable
about the trash and the bulb.

Don't you see me?
Aren't you happy to see me?

Are you here to rest or to see me?

Is this a motel?

Why are you twisting my words?

I'm tired because there was
so much freaking traffic coming here.

Why are you so self-centered?

I'm self-centered?

Damn it.

Seriously.

I haven't gotten my period.

What do you mean?

I haven't gotten my period.

Have you seen a doctor?

Did you take one of those tests...

Seriously.
When do I have time to see a doctor?

Then...

I'll take out the trash.

The retail facilities...

Focus. Don't you want to go home?

Sorry.

I WENT TO THE DOCTOR

What did they say?

I'm four weeks pregnant.

Do you know how wide we need to make it?

Awesome! What are the chances?

Sorry about that.

Hey!

Either eat or work.

You haven't had dinner yet,
so I was peeling it for you.

I'm sorry, Hyeok.

Are you angry?

Don't be mad.

Sorry for getting mad.

It's okay.

You were kind of...

Damn it. Seriously.

We're in here.

Our fourth quarter performance is very,
very terrible.

We have to finish quickly

so the other teams get the chance
to do other work.

The waterfront park, bridge,
and the underground mall.

We gave them all to other teams.

Why won't they move?

Damn it.

Quiet down.

You're dead.

- You lose. If you don't play...
- I win.

Move over a little, will you?

Did you come with a guardian?

Please write down the guardian's name
at the bottom.

Hyeok, wait in the car.

What?

No. I should be with you.

I can manage on my own.

I'm a nurse.

It's fine. Go.

- I'll be in the car then.
- Okay, go.

Go on.

HWANG OB-GYN

Let's go home.

How annoying.

Don't you have to go?

It's okay. I took the day off.

I don't have to go.

Whatever. I don't have to go.

Whatever.

Whatever. I don't care.

Isn't that work?

It is.

But you don't have to go?

No, it's fine.

You should go. They need you.

I can't go. I should stay with you.

It's okay.

You need to impress them.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I can't go.

No. I can't go. I won't.

It's okay.

I'm not in pain.
I'm just a little down, that's all.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Then...

There's something important going on.

I'll take care of it quickly
and come back early.

Get some rest.

I'm really sorry.

I CAN'T FOCUS ON WORK

I'M OKAY. WORK. I'M GOING TO SLEEP

ALREADY? I WAS JUST ABOUT TO HEAD OUT

THEN I'LL LEAVE WORK EARLY
AND GO OVER TOMORROW

SHOULD I GET SOME PORRIDGE?
OR DO YOU WANT SEAWEED SOUP?

YOU MUST BE SLEEPING. OKAY. REST

If we remove a floor here,
we can make the ceilings higher.

Will that be okay?

I'm sorry, but I have to go.

Sorry.

Wait...

INCHEON

Hey.

Hi.

I'm so tired.

You must be tired.

Yes.

Wouldn't it be fun to watch them live?

When will I ever be able to
have fun like them?

I'm leaving.

When do you plan to finish this?

- It's so pretty.
- Will you have time on Christmas?

We promised to go to Jeju.

Get it for me.

I should.

Rice puffs.

Would you like some rice puffs?

I have rice puffs.

Let's go.

Damn it.

Why didn't you wake me before you left?

I left in the middle of the night.

You were sound asleep, so I felt bad—

I can't be late. I'm dead.

Why can't I get this?

I'm hanging up!

It's so cold. Damn it.

I'm sorry, sir.

You've disappointed me.

Sorry, but I'm going to go.

I told him we were here. He keeps...

What the hell?

Don't go today.

What?

I mean...

We're working well together.

But we're moving slower than I expected.

There's a lot we need to do,

so we need to have meetings.

If you keep this up,
we can't do our job well.

We have to be together...

What are you looking at?

What? Nothing.

Are you listening?

Yes.

If we mess up, we'll get yelled at.

Then we may get fired.

That's not good.
We should keep working, right?

Okay. I'll work a little more.

I won't leave.

I JUST FINISHED

I CAN'T GO. I HAVE TO WORK LATE

INCHEON CITY HOSPITAL

OKAY. DON'T WORK TOO LATE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW

We need at least two more.

Two?

It's good.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

SORRY, I HAVE TO WORK LATE AGAIN

ME TOO. COME ON SATURDAY INSTEAD

How about a dermatologist.

A dermatologist?

I was really good.

Nice.

- We did well.
- We're done.

It was me who came up with the idea.

YOU'RE COMING TOMORROW, RIGHT?

SURE. LET'S GO SOMEWHERE NICE

I'm going. Seriously.

Hey.

It was impossible to find parking.

What do you think?

They're pretty.

Which one looks better on me?

This one.

This one? Isn't this prettier?

Just get that.

Why are there so many people?

Damn it.

I'm hungry.

Let's go.

- You're not getting it?
- No.

I'm so tired.

There's so much work
that I didn't even get to finish it.

Try some of our macarons.

You can just try them.

That one is strawberry.

I don't want it.

I don't like sweets.

This is green tea,
and this is blueberry.

We made them today. They're really good.

I'll come back another time.

Let's go if you got what you needed.
I'm tired.

I don't need anything.

Let's go.

Just buy them online.

There's a lot of good stuff online.

Let's eat quickly and rest.

I'm exhausted.

Is it exhausting seeing me?

Don't be like that.

Why are you crying?

Seeing you isn't exhausting.

I'm just really busy at work.

You know...

I'm very busy at work too,
and I'm also exhausted.

But I want to be with you,

and I want our time together
to be special.

And I came because I wanted us
to love each other more.

Do you think I came here
to buy something?

Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I really am.

Let's go. I'll take you
to an amazing restaurant.

- Chin up.
- What's wrong with you?

Why do you always want to eat?

Is it because you're hungry
or are you trying to kill time?

You don't want to do anything
with me anymore, do you?

How could you say that?

Don't be mad. I'm sorry. Okay?

Don't cry, my pretty Bo-yeong. Okay?

You can't park here.
Please move your car.

Okay, I will.

Why are you crying?

Should we put on some music?

Ms. Ah, who brutally stabbed her boyfriend
to death for cheating on her,

was arrested by the police.

The police announced that the man
cheated on her with his work colleague...

What should we eat?

Pull over.

What?

I said to pull over.

We can go there.

Would you like to order?

A couple set please.

What are you doing?

What?

Sorry. You get the most expensive one.

A gold burger set too.

Please, drive through.

Let's go.

- It's 27,000 won.
- Who is it?

Who?

She's a cashier.

It'll be right out.

Thank you.

Who's Bo-yeong?

Who?

A colleague at work.

You're mad because of
that mistake I made.

She's a colleague.

Do you call your colleague
"my pretty Bo-yeong"?

Are you suspecting me?

There's nothing going on with her.

What's wrong?
Are you saying I cheated on you?

I never said that.

Your face says you suspect me.

Excuse me. Your food's ready.

You said her name so tenderly.

What are you talking about?
Be reasonable!

How is this unreasonable?

You're the one being unreasonable.

Why do you keep suspecting me?

Do you think I slept with her
or something?

Why are you doing this to me?
I'm tired, but I came anyway.

Didn't you come because you missed me?

You don't come
because you miss me anymore.

I'm forcing you to come, aren't I?

I came because I wanted to see you.

I felt bad for you, so...

You feel bad for me?

I...

feel so bad for our baby
that you gave up on.

What?

Hey.

Was that only my fault?

Fuck. Seriously.

Fuck. Seriously.

How dare she suspect me?

Did I do it with her? Did I? Shit.

Are things tough?

If it's tough, it's love.

- Unbelievable.
- What are you talking about?

They went to eat without us again.

Don't have burgers. Have rice.

Hyeok! What should we have for lunch?

Let's eat something better
than what they're eating.

You've been so focused lately.

Did something happen?

- It's pretty.
- I know, right?

But it would look better in this color.

What time is it?

Why are you up so early?

Go back to sleep.

- This place is really good.
- Yes.

I feel warm inside.

What should we get?

- How about galbitang?
- Sounds good.

- What are you looking at?
- What?

Nothing. Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Oh my gosh. He's so cute.

Isn't he so cute?

Yes, he's cute.

I want a baby soon.

Hello?

You rarely call now.

Are you looking down on our mid-sized firm
because you're at a large corporation?

Stop that.

I'm working my ass off
with all-nighters.

Really?

Anyway, your contract is almost over.

Did they say anything?

I'm working hard,
but they haven't said anything.

You should get established there
and take me with you.

Okay?

Hello? Hey.

A REMINDER THAT YOU HAVE RESERVED
TICKETS TO JEJU

Hey. Hello? Are you there?

Yes.

I didn't hear you.

Now that you're at a large corporation,
you're kicking me to the curb.

Don't be like that. Karma will get you.

How about braised kimchi
with Jeju black pork today?

You always make the best choices.

There's also a new
Jeju black pork noodle place.

- How does that sound?
- Nothing beats having it in Jeju.

Black pork braised kimchi. Let's go.

TICKET TO JEJU WASN'T CANCELED

GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU WANT

JUNG DA-EUN
HYEOK LOVE DA-EUN

Why won't she change
her profile picture?

She's making me feel bad.

Those permanent employee punks
went to eat by themselves again.

However, we can have burgers.

I got you the gold burger set.

We should use Jeju basalt
for the flooring here.

Right? It'll differentiate it
from the road because of the color.

Sure. That sounds good.

Jeju...

COME TO JEJU!

CONFIRMATION TEXT
FOR YOUR TRIP TO JEJU

Why won't she cancel it?

What the hell?

This is the Seoul International
Compact City created by Samyoung.

Samyoung!

I love my job.

Because as long as this city isn't
eliminated by a natural disaster,

Samyoung's name and achievements

will never disappear.

I'd like to thank

City Project Team Three
for making this happen.

City Project Team!

- Go team!
- Go team!

- Thank you!
- We did all the work.

We got no acknowledgement.

Great job, both of you.

I hope we get to work together again.

Thanks.

We have a year-end party later,
so make sure to attend. Okay?

- You too, Bo-yeong.
- Yes, sir.

You were great.
You'll get another chance.

- Come visit sometime.
- You're both so talented.

Good luck.

You're beautiful.

If you feel

Like you're lonely

Leave to Jeju

For the clear night skies of Jeju

Why did they invite us to watch
the permanent employees party?

You have to go back
to your company, right?

You said it was in Incheon, right?
Are you a permanent employee there?

Yes.

Then...

Are you leaving right away?

You have a place in Seoul.
Can't you commute?

You have your cute little car.

Sure.

I should.

What will you do?

I'm going to go study abroad.

Even if I go back,
I'm a contract worker there too.

I want to beef up my resume
and get a permanent position somewhere.

I'm going to the bathroom.

You were great!

Planning Team One!

- Yes!
- You're the best!

The mood is too down today.

The person who parties the hardest

gets a five-day trip to Jeju.

Leave immediately with your loved one!

It's a perfect holiday!

Thank you, sir!

What are you afraid of?

Let's do this!

JUNG DA-EUN

Mr. Jang.

If you miss a cab,
you can wait for the next one.

But if you lose a person...

that's it.

I'll miss you...

a lot.

Da-eun...

Sir. I'll get off now. Hurry.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm sorry...

GET BETTER QUICKLY

Hyeok.

What's this?

Are they matching sneakers?

This is so nice.

Let's come to Jeju
every Christmas, Hyeok.

They're finally appreciating
what I can do.

It's so pretty.

It's a woman?

We got this patient today...

I'll give you a special prescription
for a quick recovery.

It's so annoying.

I'm working tonight again.

It's my graduation ring.

I see.

IS IT JUST YOU TWO AGAIN TONIGHT?

IT'S SUPER SLOW
SINCE IT'S JUST TWO OF US WORKING

You sound like you're outside.
It's noisy.

You don't mind if I call you "Hyeok,"
do you?

I'm tired because there was
so much freaking traffic coming here.

I haven't gotten my period.

It's been four weeks.

Since it's the first trimester,
you may have bad morning sickness.

You may suddenly get very hungry
and feel like having this and that.

There's no freaking way
I have a girlfriend.

I can't stand people who talk like that.

Even if you're sleepy and tired,

you can't have coffee,
alcohol, or smoke.

Jaundice!

You may get very sleepy.

The baby is saying, "Mommy, I'm sleepy."
It's how they communicate.

So you should sleep, okay?

YOU MUST BE SLEEPING. OKAY. REST

Hyeok?

I like you very, very much.

Do you want to come over?

Sleep over.

Da-eun.

Are you up?

Thank you for changing the light bulb.

Why didn't you wake me before you left?

I left in the middle of the night.

You were sound asleep, so I felt bad—

I JUST FINISHED
I CAN'T GO. I HAVE TO WORK

Hyeok. Where are you?

I just got off work.

You can hug me.

Don't cry, my pretty Bo-yeong.

You feel bad for me?

Da-eun, where's your ring?

I lost it.

Someone I know says they'll give me
their vacation package to Jeju.

Want to go with me?

It's Lee Jang-hyeok, not Jang Hyeok.

Yes. I must have made a typo.

Please change it.

I'll take this.

Are you okay, Hyeok? Can you get up?

Does it hurt a lot?

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Oh no. You should've been more careful.

Can you stand up?

Yes.

Right. Take my hand.

- Gosh.
- Oh, no.

- Let's go.
- Sorry.

Oh no. What will I do with you?

Aren't you hungry?

No, I'm fine.

Let's go have a delicious meal.

Hurry.

Damn it.

That bitch.

Damn it.

It's almost time to board. Let's go.

Hyeok.

This is heavy.

Da-eun. I'm sorry.

Let's hurry, Da-eun.

What the hell? Where did you go?

You left me all alone
with those permanent employee punks!

However...

I won the trip to Jeju!

Wait.

FREE 5 DAY TRIP TO JEJU

Where did it all go wrong?

I'm tired. I'll do it later.

Was it here?

Don't cry, my pretty Bo-yeong.

Here?

A couple set please.

I should've gotten her something better.

Should I have stayed then?

I bought a new light bulb.
Can you change it?

Is it because of the light bulb?

I pushed hard for you.

That's not it.

This is all the chief's fault. Damn it.

We'll ride an electric car.

And this hotel...

Bo-yeong.

Please don't leave.

I love you.

Wait. What the hell?

Hey. What are you doing?
I'm not there yet.

- Right?
- Right.

Okay.

Damn it.
