Cinderella at 2AM (새벽 2시의 신데렐라)

Two years ago,

the day I came back from studying abroad.

Do people still take crying selfies?

He's so funny, seriously.

Sweetie, look at AL CARD's vice chairman's crying selfie.

What's that? That's hilarious.

- What is that? - He's so ridiculous.

How cheesy.

- What is he doing? - Gosh, I can't stand this.

What is that?

It's so funny.

The day Si Won posted a crying selfie while drunk.

And the day he was banned from social media for life.

What kind of humiliation is this? Seriously.

Oh, my gosh.

Goodness.

Hey, get in.

- Why? - What's this?

I said I'd take a cab. Why'd you come to pick me up?

You didn't have to.

Did you miss me that much?

Did you perhaps cry because you missed me?

Hey, you... Don't you do that too.

I feel upset enough as it is without you adding to it.

By the way,

why did you come back earlier than scheduled?

Weren't you going to come next month?

I was,

but they said the new recruits were starting work next week.

I wanted to start then too.

But do you really have to hide your identity like that?

Whose idea was this?

Mother suggested it to me carefully.

When you started working as a new recruit,

the employees felt so uncomfortable that they were all going crazy.

You made it so obvious that you were the third-generation heir.

Hey, I didn't make it obvious.

It's not my fault I exude a certain vibe even when I don't try.

That's not something I can help.

But you might be able to help it.

Hiding your rich image, I mean.

Seriously...

Anyway, be prepared. Working in the office isn't easy.

Si Won.

I'm Seo Ju Won.

Don't you know me?

I don't know.

I have no idea what your standard was when organizing this.

You should've asked me first.

Why did you do it like this?

I'm sorry.

You looked so busy, so I tried to do it myself.

Mr. Seo Ju Won.

From now on, don't make things worse...

and just report to me beforehand.

It's only been a month since you started working.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Ha Yoon Seo was my mentor.

She wasn't likeable from the beginning.

She was meticulous and coldhearted.

She was a bit...

She's scary, isn't she?

Yes.

What? No.

As if. Gosh, she was scolding you like crazy.

I know. Does she think everyone can be a legendary rookie like her?

- A legendary rookie? - Yes.

I mean, when all of her colleagues were just dazed and confused,

she would volunteer to work overtime every day...

to get an idea of the work within a week.

She joined all of the marketing workers' clubs out there...

and learned everything she could about work on the weekends.

Just after two months of working here,

she took over everything...

the chief used to do or whatever.

You don't look so great.

Did you get yelled at for doing something wrong?

It's not like that.

As if.

Your face obviously looks like you got told off by your boss.

Do you know how many times I've seen faces like that at work?

Working in the office is not what you expected, right?

You're struggling right now, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

That was what I said,

but I was actually struggling.

Ju Won.

Can you still not work the copy machine?

- I'm sorry. - Are you bad with machines?

Sir, I took a look at the data analysis report from last quarter.

Me? Are you asking me?

You skipped the chief and assistant manager,

and you're asking me?

I'm sorry, sir.

Gosh.

Good job on that.

- Here's your coffee. - Oh, hey.

Assistant Manager, you had the hot tea.

Ju Won, why is there so little in here?

- What? - Didn't you take a sip from it?

No, sir.

Watch out.

Sorry, sir.

- Si Won. - Yes?

I've been thinking about this lately.

If I weren't the second son of AL Group's chairwoman,

I'd be lacking in so many ways.

Gosh.

We have another team dinner tomorrow.

Can you teach me how to make good soju bombs?

Hey, how would I know that?

Why? Did someone tell you to make soju bombs?

Yes, they asked me to make it with golden proportions,

but how would I know? I've never made it before.

Well, then, look it up.

I see.

Okay.

Sir, I'll mix you a drink myself.

- Oh, okay! Make a good one for me. - Hey.

Yes, sir.

He's doing his job now.

Gosh, you should teach him well.

Gosh, you're frustrating.

Gosh, I might sober up while waiting for you.

Sorry, I'll make it quickly.

Hurry up!

Gosh, hurry up!

Are you trying to kill me with that drink?

Gosh, what have you done all these years,

not even learning to mix drinks?

Back in my day, while I was job searching,

I studied English during the day and soju bombs at night.

Goodness.

- I know, right? He's so... - What's wrong with you?

Give me that! I'll show you how to do it.

Applause!

- Nice. - Thank you.

I don't show this to just anyone.

Watch. Half a shot, just like that. There you go.

Beer? I can pour it with my eyes closed.

Just pour it all in.

See that? Take one!

- There you go! - That was awesome!

- All right. Drink up! - Go!

Very nice.

- Cheers! - Gosh, that tasted great.

Sir, excuse me while I use the restroom quickly.

Gosh, you sure have a knack for making me lose my appetite.

Fine, go on!

Hurry up and go!

Here you go, sir.

Okay.

Gosh, where is he going?

Seriously, he's so frustrating.

Nice.

Seriously, this is so tough.

- What? - You little punk.

How dare a new recruit answer the vice chairman's call like that?

What do you think?

I'm trying to give this rookie a chance to spend time...

with the vice chairman.

Hey, let's go and play tennis this weekend.

Forget it.

I don't think tennis is for me.

I know it's hard to get better in a short period of time,

but I'm not getting better as I had hoped.

I don't feel any sense of achievement either.

I just want to quit.

Bye.

Are you going to quit?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just happened to hear you.

It's tough, isn't it? Working in the office, I mean.

I've only scolded you so far...

and haven't told you this yet.

Ju Won, you're doing just fine.

You've gotten a lot better at your work,

and your trend research report was good too.

Thank you.

I hope that...

you won't quit working here.

Oh, well, I didn't mean I wanted to quit my job...

If you can't handle this period now and just quit,

it'll be the same at any other job.

So, for now,

just hang in there for another day tomorrow.

Then, a week would've gone by in no time,

and a month, a year? They pass by so quickly.

Okay.

I want to see how you look...

a year from now.

- Here you go! - Thank you!

It's time for another round.

- Drink up. - Okay.

All right! All together now, cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

What's this?

He looks totally fine. Why did you drink that for him?
