Yes, I understand.
I will break up with Ju Won.
My boyfriend, who I had dated for a year and six months,
was the youngest son of the major shareholder of my company.
I'm glad we're on the same page.
I guess this is how they give out money these days.
(Jungseo Bank)
(Jungseo Bank, Ha Yoon Seo)
Thank you.
Actually, I was worried we'd have to raise our voices at each other.
I'm glad we're able to talk without doing so, Ms. Ha.
There's no need to thank me.
I'm grateful too.
You're treating me to a meal at a nice place like this,
and you also brought this up after we finished eating.
When will you be able to put an end to the relationship?
I think I will need some time for that.
- And the reason?
- Until just a while ago,
the two of us were getting along fine.
What would Ju Won think if I suddenly wanted to break up?
He's already worried ever since I found out
that he was your son.
But if I ask him to break up at this moment,
he'd figure out that you came to see me soon enough.
That would put you in a tough spot too.
So?
What do you want to do?
I will make him lose interest in me
slowly and on his own.
It looks better to others to break up over differences.
And that would leave Ju Won with fewer lingering feelings as well.
I will sort things out within two months.
You seem to be very honest,
so I'll ask you honestly too.
Did you really
date my son without knowing who he was?
Did you even
like my Ju Won?
Ms. Ha.
Ms. Ha Yoon Seo.
Are you going home now?
Ju Won
I liked him a lot.
But if our differences are this great,
I'm not sure I can handle it.
Don't worry.
I'm good at knowing my own place.
I have no intention of not accepting the money you give me
just to maintain my pride.
Within two months,
I will make a clean break with Ju Won.
Midnight.
What did Cinderella think after the magic had worn off?
At first, she would've been amazed that she went to the ball
and would've been elated that she had met the prince,
finding it hard to fall asleep.
However, how did she feel at 2am?
Would she have felt nothing but giddiness then too?
I don't want to be in a relationship that would damage my self-esteem
and cause me heartache.
Goodbye,
Seo Ju Won.
(Cinderella at 2AM)
(Makyirae, Craft Makgeolli)
What? You're going to break up?
Hey.
You and Seo Ju Won will split up
like this pair of chopsticks?
Yes, I will.
So, you mean you and Seo Ju Won
will break apart
like this piece of tofu?
Yes, that's right.
How many times do I have to say it, Uncle?
Well, I can't believe it, no matter how many times I hear it.
You were getting along just fine until recently.
So? Why do you suddenly want to break up?
Ju Won is
the youngest son of AL Group.
Yes, Ju Won is the youngest guy on your team.
I'm sure everyone adores him like he's the youngest son of the family.
No, my company, AL Group.
He's the son of the chairwoman.
- A third-generation conglomerate.
- What?
The youngest son of a conglomerate? Since when?
I'm sure it was since he was born.
That's not what I mean. When did you find out?
About a month ago?
It was something I never even imagined either.
That he was the chairwoman's son.
Hello, I'm Seo Ju Won, the new recruit.
Please look kindly upon me.
Yes, please look kindly upon me as well.
Everyone, let's give him a hand!
Oh, have a seat over here. Sit down.
- Gosh, he's handsome.
- Hello.
He looks just like I did when I was young.
I had heard that conglomerates are a meritocracy these days,
but neither I nor anyone on our team
ever imagined
that our team's newest member was the chairwoman's son.
I didn't realize even while dating him.
Our relationship started while he was keeping his identity a secret.
I'm sure Ju Won missed his opportunity to tell me too.
It's a shame to say goodbye. Should I take you home?
No.
It's fine. You must be tired.
You always bring me home.
Why won't you let me do the same?
Well
Now that I think about it,
I could've figured it out.
- Ta-da.
- What's this?
I thought it might look good on you.
I see.
You thought this would look good on me?
Yes.
I look even better when I'm getting a refund.
Let's go and get that refund.
A refund? Why?
- Give me the shopping bag.
- No.
- What about the receipt?
- I don't have it.
- When he bought me
- Quickly.
an expensive bag for our anniversary,
I should've known.
I didn't realize that he was from a rich family
where a bag like this wasn't even a big deal.
Then, last month
Yes.
(A month ago)
All right.
Let's go upstairs together.
I have a bottle of whiskey I got as a gift.
Let's have a drink.
(AL CARD's Vice Chairman Seo Si Won's Perseverance)
(AL CARD's Finance Guy, Who Is Vice Chairman Seo Si Won?)
(AL Group Vice Chairman Seo Si Won, An Innovative Adventurer)
Why is he with the vice chairman
It's fine. Let's not interact at the office as much as possible.
Brother.
"Brother?"
Why do you have lint on you?
How clumsy. You're the vice chairman.
Who are you calling clumsy?
You used to have snot all over your face as a kid.
You don't remember how I'd follow you around with tissues
and wiped your nose, do you?
Should I check with Mother?
- Let's see
- The chairwoman is insanely busy.
You're just a mere employee.
What is this situation?
The chairwoman's son is the vice chairman.
If the vice chairman's brother is Seo Ju Won
Anyway, come upstairs if you change your mind.
I'm off.
Gosh
Mr. Seo Ju Won!
Wait So
Since when were you standing there?
Seriously
Were you the son of a rich family?
Oh, sweetie. That's not it
Why didn't you tell me?
And all this time,
you've been making me pay for meals?
Is that what made you mad?
No way.
So, the Seo Ju Won who has been drinking makgeolli with you here
is the youngest son of AL Group?
What This cell phone
And this credit card
His family's company makes these cards?
Wait, but if you found this out a month ago
and were fine until now,
why did you decide to break up with him today of all days?
Excuse me!
Hey, they're calling for the owner. Hurry up and get over there.
You should go.
The employee should be the one hustling around here.
Now!
Gosh, I want to hear what Yoon Seo has to say.
- Darn it.
- Gosh.
Okay, so?
Why are you suddenly breaking up with him today?
His mother didn't give you an envelope full of money
like in the dramas, did she?
No. She gave me a piece of paper.
To write my bank account number down.
What? Is that how it's done these days?
So? Did you write it down?
- Yes, I did.
- Really?
- Really.
- What's this?
- What do you mean?
- I mean
Are you the type of girl
who'd easily accept money from your boyfriend's mom?
What on earth is the reason?
I'm going to use it for Ji Seok's studies.
Who are you trying to fool?
You worked yourself to the bone to put yourself through college,
not even buying yourself a cup of coffee.
After you got a job, you didn't even buy yourself any clothes
until your fifth year on the job, looking like a beggar,
to save up for Ji Seok's tuition.
Do you think I don't know that you would've already saved enough
for Ji Seok's tuition?
Why on earth did you accept that money?
I thought I could break up if I accepted some money, at least.
And I'm telling you this just in case I can't break up
even after accepting money.
You tell me each time you quit smoking.
You said that you had to tell people around you
so you kept your word,
even if it was just to mind other's watching eyes.
That's why I'm telling you too.
It's a promise I must keep, no matter what.
But you'll have to keep seeing him after you break up.
What will you do?
She said not to worry about that.
If I just break up,
she'll send Ju Won to an office abroad.
That might be a better opportunity for Ju Won too.
Gosh.
I have no appetite anyway. I'll be going.
The next time I come here, I'll be single.
Make lots of makgeolli.
I'm off.
Yoon Seo.
Bye.
Ha Yoon Seo.
What will I do with her?
(Seo Ju Won)
The person you reached is unavailable.
Doesn't it look weird?
It is weird.
Really?
Which part?
All of it.
I doubt that.
The best master tailor in Korea
made this one and only suit for me
out of the best fabric, made exactly to fit my body.
It makes no sense
that this suit and my physique put together is weird.
What?
Oh, you were talking about you.
What were you talking about, then?
Me? Yoon Seo.
She won't answer my calls.
There you go again about Ms. Ha.
Give it a rest, will you?
She must have days where she doesn't want to call you.
Look at me.
Your sister-in-law and I only check to see if the other is alive.
Gosh, you must be so proud.
Treat her well.
Not calling her is how I treat her well.
She isn't interested in me.
There are some marriages that are about the union of two families
for business purposes that you don't know about.
Aren't you even worried about her when she's alone in Paris?
That's why I check in on her every now and then on social media.
I've been keeping up with her activities to see how she is.

By the way, are you allowed to be on social media?
Didn't you get banned
by your secretarial staff after you posted that crying selfie?
(Early morning vibes, I sometimes cry)
(Collecting my tears, It's good that I can cry)
(Banned forever from using social media)
Why, you little
That was a long time ago.
And this account is just for looking around.
Hey, but since we're on the subject
My secretarial staff were so against me being on social media,
but they're okay with Mi Jin using it.
Look.
What she ate, what she wore
She posts stuff like this all the time, but they don't care.
(Posts)
I think it's because
everything she eats, wears, and uses
leads to sales.
Yes. What do you think?
Who am I talking to right now?
You little punk.
Anyway, I'm going to change into my next outfit.
Well, I'm sure it'll look good on me anyway.
Look at me.
(Ha Yoon Seo)
I'm tired. I'll see you later.
(Ha Yoon Seo)
I will break up within two months.
No matter what.
Let's make him lose interest in me
slowly and on his own. All right.
But how?
Ms. Ha, did you have a good weekend?
I missed you.
Me too.
I'll head inside first.
Okay.
Darn it. That wasn't it.
How can I make him lose interest in me?
How to make your boyfriend lose interest in you.
(How to make your boyfriend lose interest in you)
(Step 1. Borrow money)
"Borrow money?"
"There's no worse quality in a partner than borrowing money."
"At first, you start with a small amount"
Ju Won.
Could you
lend me some money?
How much will it take?
How much can you lend me?
However much it is, just say the word.
I apologize for my frankness, but I'm rich.
Gosh.
I mean, I'm sure money is no big deal for a rich guy.
If not
"Show your rough side?"
Why, that piece of trash.
Darn, you jerk. You ought to freeze to death
You're so dead.
What's wrong? Just let it go.
Hold on tight to your seatbelt.
No, Yoon Seo!
Sweetie.
Gosh, that'd be so out of the blue.
Are there any good ideas?
Oh, I see.
"Maintaining a frown."
Yes. Frowning like this all day will make me very unlikeable.
From now on, this is my default facial expression.
- I'm back.
- My gosh!
Oh, my. That must've been heavy.
- These came for you.
- Thanks.
And these are yours.
Thank you!
I could've picked them up myself. Why did you pick these up?
You told me to pick up some coffee on the first floor
and pick up the packages too.
Oh, right.
Gosh, it's hot!
Hey, Ju Won.
I asked you to get me two sleeves. It's way too hot.
Must you be such a slow learner?
You had to struggle and study very hard to join AL Group,
so you should do your best to learn things.
You still haven't even mastered such basic tasks.
How will you move on to the next level?
Keep working hard, and you'll be able to move up the ladder.
My gosh! Isn't this so cute?
This is a pet rock.
It's a rock, but people think of this as their pet.
And I bought these to improve my blood circulation.
There are massage chairs on every floor of the company
where my friend works,
but we have none, you know.
So I bought these to boost my circulation
To boost my circulation
I'll refrain from getting personal packages delivered to work.
She's acting a little strange today.
You saw that, right? The look on Ha Yoon Seo's face.
I was simply giving my junior colleague
some pointers on how to get ahead at work.
What's wrong with that?
Ha Yoon Seo and I are the same age,
but she manages a team, whereas I'm just an assistant manager,
so I bet she gave me that look thinking I had no right to do that.
I think that's a bit of a stretch,
but she does seem to be in a bad mood today.
Usually, I get way more packages delivered to the office, you know.
But I caught her giving me the evil eye earlier.
I nearly handed in my resignation right then and there.
Let's get back to work.
She'll glare at us again if she sees we've all stepped out.
Okay, let's get back to work.
By the way,
our company
doesn't care about its employees' welfare at all. Right?
There's nothing in the office kitchen,
except for green tea.
I heard other companies What was it? Rev-Dazs?
They buy such expensive ice cream for their employees.
I'm telling you. I can't stand the higher-ups.
All they care about is fattening up their own wallets.
Right?
Yes, agreed.
We stocked the green tea shelf.
- I see.
- Yes.
(They'll think of me as a boomer boss.)
They'll think of me as a boomer boss at this rate.
I really can't allow that to happen.
- Babe.
- Yes?
That's right. I should only do it outside of work.
I'll pick a fight every time he says anything.
One moment. Let me order some coffee first.
I'm hungry.
Then shall we eat something?
What do you feel like eating?
- I don't know.
- What?
I do not know.
You don't know?
Normally, you would
Let's have pasta today.
Today, we should have kalguksu.
Today, we'll check out all the famous bakeries.
Normally, you're very decisive with these things.
- How about pasta?
- It won't sit well with me.
How about the spicy kalguksu?
It's too spicy.
Oh, right. But you said you liked how spicy it was.
But I don't feel like it today.
I see, not today. Then today, why don't we
My answer is no.
I didn't even name a dish.
Then why don't we
just go somewhere and have a drink?
Well, I said we should eat something.
My gosh. You really are annoying me.
I'm never like this, so it feels very awkward to act like this.
Let's get out of here. Come on.
What? And go where?
We should decide where we are going.
Hey, why
- Come on.
- Where are we going?
- Let's go.
- We should decide
Enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
See?
You always like coming here, so I knew you'd like this.
Today, I didn't really want to come here.
But we're already here anyway, so I will eat this.
Anyway, is something the matter?
You've been acting a little strange since yesterday.
By any chance, did Ji Seok
Ji Seok? What about him?
Are you going to ask if he caused another trouble?
No, don't get me wrong.
Don't lie.
Do you think all he does is cause trouble?
Why must you make it sound like my brother is a troublemaker?
I'm sorry. I apologize for jumping to conclusions about Ji Seok.
But
why do I feel like you keep trying so hard to get me riled up?
What? What did I even do?
I need to use the restroom.
This is ridiculous.
I wanted to make Ju Won hate me slowly but surely
so he'd get sick of me and leave me of his own accord.
I thought it'd be better for both of us.
I thought, "I'll be irritable around him"
"and neglect him like a couple in a rut."
"Then I'll just say I've met someone else."
"It'll break his heart,"
"but he'll say we should end things."
That was my plan,
but how come he won't even get angry with me?
Hey, your girlfriend seems a little upset today.
Did you do something wrong?
I'm not sure.
She's scary when she's angry.
You must find her scary too.
Not really.
I even find that adorable.
My goodness.
Ju Won.
How am I going to break up with you?
My gosh.
Yoon Seo.
- So? You're alone now?
- Yes, I came alone.
No, I mean Are you single now?
You said you'd break up with him.
I knew it.
It's not easy to break up with someone.
If you could just declare something and do it,
I'd be living smoke-free now.
Hey, Yoon Seo. You're here.
I'm glad you're here.
Can you try this new batch of makgeolli I made?
It's organic makgeolli.
I used 20 types of grains to make it.
Hey, Uncle.
I'm not going to drink for a while.
Why not? You're in charge of tasting our new makgeolli.
Yes, you must do your job even if you're facing a breakup.
- Yes.
- Hey, go inside.
I'll cook you something nice. All right?
Uncle, where's the booze?
Oh, it's inside.
Hey, she said she was breaking up with her boyfriend.
Did they really break up?
Can we really give her booze now?
Yes, go for it. She needs to get drunk.
If not, she'll just keep it all bottled up and never let it out.
It'll drive me nuts.
- How much makgeolli did you make?
- Twenty jars.
Let her drink them all today.
And she took it?
Yes.
Ms. Ha Yoon Seo took the money?
I didn't think she was the type to do that.
It's better this way because she won't cause trouble later on.
Unlike someone else, I had to deal with.
Anyway, are things going well between you and your wife?
Yes, of course.
I was on the phone with her on my way here.
She had beef bourguignon today but didn't really like it.
She said she couldn't even eat half of it.
See?
You were utterly devastated back then,
but you're doing great now.
I'm sure Ju Won will eventually come
to thank me.
Anyway, about Ha Yoon Seo
I'd call her polite based on her attitude and the way she talks,
but the things she says
She's very brazen.
Is she really dating Ju Won for his money?
Why? Does that make you angry?
Like you said, it's a good thing as she won't cause trouble later on.
So, she has to break Ju Won's heart like this too.
Anyway,
Ms. Ha took the money?
I certainly didn't expect that to happen.
Just go and meet with the chairwoman again.
Go and give it back to her.
Go and be like Cinderella!
Hey. "Cinderella?"
Do you really think it suits me?
Cinderella who marries the prince
does not exist in real life.
That only happens in the fairy-tale world.
So? Are you really going to break up with Ju Won?
- Yes, I must break up with him.
- You can't.
How will you break up with him when you love him so much?
You are wrong. I can totally end things with him.
I am a tough cookie.
Shall I show you how cold and ruthless I can be?
- Show me.
- You want me to show you? Fine.
What are you doing?
(I can't figure out a solution. Let's just break)
Hey, what are you doing?
Sending a breakup text when you're drunk
is the worst thing you can do.
- Don't do it. Hey!
- Give it back!
I can't stoop any lower!
I already took the money, you know.
I really can't hurt him every single day
for the next two months for this slow breakup thing.
It's better to be heartbroken and just get it over with.
For both of us.
Hey.
Hey, Yoon Seo!
- Hey, wake up.
- Ju Won
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
Oh, it's perfect.
Ha Yoon Seo, wake up!
Wake up!
Is your stomach all right?
Why did you drink so much?
Did something happen?
Did you get into a fight with that lanky wimp or
Hey, he's older than you. Don't be so rude.
I'm only saying this for your own sake.
I told you. I don't like him.
He looks like he's dead broke.
He's far from a rich prince.
(Seo Ju Won, the youngest son of one of Korea's largest conglomerates)
You're such a good judge of character.
I sure am!
Men know when they see a guy who's a real good catch.
You'll struggle if you stay with him.
Financial stability is very important.
These days, love is not enough.
Is he texting you already?
Ms. Ha, what does that mean?
What's he talking about?
(Seo Ju Won: Yes, got it!)
I can't figure out a solution. Let's just break
(Seo Ju Won, Bae Jang Hee)
What are you doing?
Hey, what are you doing?
Sending a breakup text when you're drunk
is the worst thing you can do.
Don't do it. Hand it over!
What is this?
I can't figure out a solution. Let's just break
I must be going crazy. Why did I send it in the group chat?
Hey, what's with you? You're scaring me!
You don't need to know.
I can't believe I tried to break up with him over text.
I didn't know I was such a jerk.
And I sent that in the group chat, for goodness' sake!
Darn it.
(Recents, Seo Ju Won)
And what is this?
What on earth did we talk about for over a minute?
I don't remember anything.
Wait!
Going up.
The doors are closing.
Why are you standing there like that?
Well, it's just
I saw that we talked on the phone last night.
For a minute and ten seconds.
But I couldn't remember what we talked about.
Nothing much.
I saw your message in the group chat
and called to ask you what was up.
Then I just said "Sweet dreams," and we hung up.
Anyway, who were you with that you drank so much last night?
Oh, I was at Makyirae.
I see.
Also, about the message in the group chat
Oh, Ms. Ha.
Hello!
Good morning.
- Hello.
- Going up.
The doors are closing.
Hey, you.
Oh, right. Ms. Ha. Are you ignoring my message?
Sorry?
The message you sent last night. What was it about?
Oh, that was
I got drunk and sent it by mistake.
My goodness. You drunk-texted.
Hold on. Yes, here.
"I can't figure out a solution."
"Let's just break"
Was this about someone's hairstyle? Who were you talking about?
What?
Oh, come on. Must you ask?
We already know the answer.
Hey, I go to a barbershop in Gangnam.
Clearly, she was talking about Ju Won.
Ju Won. I bet you still see the same hairstylist
you saw all through high school who charges eight dollars for a cut.
You don't understand why some people pay so much for a haircut, right?
Ju Won, your hairstyle is just too plain.
Right, it is too plain.
Ms. Ha, you were criticizing
Mr. Bae's hairstyle, right?
No way. You were talking about Ju Won, right?
Or you were probably talking about how Ye Young
desperately needs to get her roots touched up.
Hurry up and tell us.
Why make us uncomfortable by sending
such a cryptic message without a subject?
Whose hairstyle were you talking about?
Mine!
I was talking about my own hairstyle.
I see.
So, you knew.
Well, I couldn't bring myself to say it.
I must say,
She always sees herself objectively. We must learn this from her.
Oh, Leah who works at the salon across the street is very good.
Do you want to go there?
If you tell her that I recommended you,
we'll both get a 20-percent discount.
Shall I book you an appointment for this evening?
Yes, you have to go.
Nice, I'll get a 20-percent discount!
- Leah.
- Yes!
I'll be back in a moment.
Okay.
What am I doing here right now?
But does Ju Won really believe this?
Ms. Ha,
I'm working on the press release we'll send out tomorrow morning.
Do you mind sending me the exhibition schedule again?
(Call Recording, Seo Ju Won)
What? This is from yesterday.
Nothing much.
Then I just said "Sweet dreams," and we hung up.
(Call Recording, Seo Ju Won)
Hey, Ju Won.
I think you sent the message in the group chat by mistake.
Ju Won, let's end it.
What?
Let's break up.
Let's talk in person. Where are you now?
No, don't come.
Nothing will change even if you show up now.
We're going to break up.
I ordered you a hot tea.
Why did you put on a show
after that call last night?
I wanted to pretend it never happened.
Ju Won. The truth is
I don't want to hear about it.
You met my mother, didn't you?
What are you on about?
I heard about it.
You visited Mother?
Yes. You're late.
Yes.
Si Won.
Yoon Seo is acting a bit weird.
Oh, really?
She won't take my calls
and her texts are short.
Do you think I upset her?
Never mind.
I'll head inside.
Ju Won.
Yoon Seo.
She had dinner with our mother.
My mother
I'll talk to her.
That won't solve anything.
You must get it if your brother told you everything.
We should break up.
Let's break up, Ju Won.
Let me apologize first.
You must've been offended.
It wasn't because of the chairwoman.
Well, yes.
To be honest, I decided to break up with you
after meeting with the chairwoman.
But
Ever since I knew who you were,
I'd been thinking we should break up.
And the timing is now.
You thought of
breaking up with me?
You said you wanted to
marry and live with me forever.
That was
That was
before I knew who you really were.
There was a time when I dreamed of such a future.
I'd never met someone I loved with all my heart.
Can't you forget about my background
and love me for me?
Did you ever skip lunch
because you couldn't afford it?
I bet you never had to work to earn your own tuition.
Or had to worry about finding a job.
We're too different.
The chairwoman did nothing wrong.
Nothing good will come from a union of people
who are so different.
I don't want a charming prince
on a white steed.
I don't want to enter a world I'm not part of
and become miserable.
Stop it.
Why?
Is this bothering you?
It's not that.
I don't mind. I'm fine, but
Why do you
keep disparaging yourself?
The more you say, the worse you must feel.
I'm sorry to put you through this.
Will you think about
No.
I've told you clearly how I feel.
Let's call it quits.
Yoon Seo. Wait.
Let's talk a bit more.
Is that all the vice chairman said?
That I met with the chairwoman?
I even accepted money.
You know
I love money.
So
Goodbye, Seo Ju Won.
Cinderella's magic spell ends at midnight.
She leaves behind the shoe that falls off
and vanishes from the prince's view.
Did she leave her trace on purpose?
No.
She hated more than death
that the prince would see her shabby reality.
I wanted to make a grand exit
and leave no trace behind.
The team rookie suddenly went on leave?
We could never imagine doing that.
Right. He'll be away for a whole week.
Is something up with him?
I don't know.
Let's start the meeting.
Some can't even afford to show
the pain of a break-up.
Our application, "All Lara," focuses on growth
and connects small business owners with interested customers

Life comes at us every single day.
Does Ji Seok focus in class?
He seems to manage
Responsibilities spring up from all sides.
You can head home first.
Are you sure you don't mind?
I feel bad, but see you tomorrow.
See you.
(AL CARD Employee, Seo Ju Won)
I must bear it even if I'm not okay.
Because this is the ordinary life I chose instead of love.
Hey, what?
"What?" I called because I was worried.
Are you all right?
- I guess
- You aren't, of course.
So what?
When does Ju Won come back?
Tomorrow?
Do you think
he was transferred abroad?
I don't know.
What's wrong?
Did your heart break to think he left without saying goodbye?
Don't be silly. I twisted my ankle.
Bye. I have to get back to work.
Are you okay, Ms. Ha?
Ju Won.
I'm fine.
Didn't you just hurt yourself?
I'm fine.
I said I was fine.
I'm
Wait here.
I'm really fine.
Ms. Ha.
No.
Let me.
Okay.
Where did you get such cute slippers?
I'm glad you think they're cute.
The only store still open was a stationery store.
Also, I noticed earlier that you had
scraped your foot.
Would it be weird if I put it on for you?
It would.
Thanks.
In the end, we were left with nothing but a scrape,
but one day, even that will heal.
My acupressure slippers hurt like crazy.
Let's brew some green tea teabags.
This is madness. Let's go see.
- Hurry up.
- I'm hurrying.
- Hurry up faster.
- I'm trying, okay?
- Ice cream?
- What's all this?
These are really tasty brands.
- I don't believe this.
- My gosh.
Ice cream too?
No way. This is amazing.
There's green tea flavour too.
Ms. Ha, we have a fridge full of ice cream.
A coffee machine and massage chair too.
Ms. Ha, there's crazy news.
Check the online notice board.
What's the fuss about?
Quick. Check this out.

(Seo Ju Won, AL CARD Director)
Thank you.
Bye, then.
It took me a while to persuade my mother
to let me stay instead of transferring me abroad.
I can't help it if you want to break up with me.
You have free will.
But
I'm also free to cling to you.
From now on
I'll cling to you.
I'll act as desperate and pitifully as possible.
Don't be too mean, Yoon Seo.
(Cinderella at 2AM)
They say out of sight becomes out of mind.
I don't want us to drift apart.
Ju Won threw down the gauntlet,
and he started to throw himself at me in earnest.
Why are you following me, sir?
- Are you all right?
- I'm not all right.
Date me.
I'll show you
just how much I like you and why we must be together.
Can you keep your promise and break up with my son?
Let's work on breaking up too.
Yoon Seo.
Do you not like me anymore?
You're all I care about.
