CLEANING. WAIT A MOMENT, PLEASE.

UP

Why wouldn't it come off?

Did it come off?

Hey.

Gosh, she's listening to music?

Oh.

- What was that? - The stain!

Did it come off?

It's not coming off so easily.

It's a stain, after all.

What...

The employees will be coming to work soon.

Try to rub it as hard as you ever can, then it will come off.

Excuse me.

My eldest child has to go to school early today.

Can I leave work on time?

Geez, if you care so much about your children,

why are you removing stains here?

Just stop working from tomorrow, will you?

You can't leave work unless that stain's off.

- Enough for flies to slip - Flies to slip

Wipe it clean

Do it.

Darn, the office hour will begin soon.

Gosh.

Excuse me.

A WEEK. 3 DAYS

TODAY

Kids, have breakfast and go to school.

- Yeon-ah, you need to be there early today. - Mom.

Didn't you wash this shirt?

Oh, no.

Sorry, we ran out of detergent.

Let's spray deodorizer on it.

I'll make this look like it's been washed while you have breakfast.

Breakfast!

You shouldn't still be half asleep, dear.

I guess you couldn't poop either today.

I don't want to.

But it's been two days.

At least, release a fart.

Once you do, well have breakfast.

I'm going to work again this afternoon,

so look after Shi-ah after school.

I'm a teenager too.

Yes, right. A teenager who never studies.

You need to quit that band thing.

Music is also for smart people.

I'm super busy, but I have my eye on you.

I have like 10 sets of eyes.

GEUMAH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Shi-ah, have fun at school.

I love you and bless you.

I love you and bless you too.

Goodness.

I guess I have to ask if I can work on weekends.

The interest.

DARN SON OF A

(I'll be visiting your place today, so wait.)

DARN SON OF A

Yong-mi.

Ms. Eo Yong-mi.

I know you're hiding in there.

I heard your phone ring just now.

At least answer your phone, Yong-mi.

If you don't want to see me go mad and wild.

Don't ignore my calls.

Don't ignore my calls.

Give me my money back!

My money!

Eo Yong-mi.

Give me my money back!

My money!

I want my money back.

- Money! - Shut it!

My money!

I'll call the police. You want that?

Oh, well.

Now I'm scared.

I better leave before he calls the police.

Right?

You'll have to see me soon.

In-kyung, hurry up!

- If we miss this, well be late. - I got a cramp.

- Let's get on. - Geez.

- Hurry up. - Gosh, a cramp.

What's wrong with the weather?

It's supposed to be warm.

Will you take that eye booger off?

It's huge enough to crush your foot.

Thank goodness you have that pretty face.

I'm just grateful to my mom.

You set an alarm?

Yes, but I couldn't wake up.

You know I'm not a morning person.

Going to work at dawn felt impossible at first,

but the paychecks are making it possible.

Did you save up a lot?

I pay for my baking class,

send allowance to my mom,

and pay for my living expenses.

I hardly put food on the table.

Still, I think I can buy a second-hand coffee truck in a year.

Good for you.

You have a dream and money saved up.

Come on, you have your dear daughters.

Well, survival is another issue.

I thought you lived for your girls.

Yes, they give me the strength to go on.

But when they cause trouble.

I want to slap their back real hard.

Then again, they give me all the joy.

I feel bad that I can't do enough for them.

- It's killing you, right? - Yes.

All I have is dust in my pocket.

This empty pocket is killing me.

In-kyung.

- By any chance— - I can't lend you.

No money lending between close friends.

Hey, I didn't ask you that.

You went ahead just now.

Where will you sell coffee with the truck?

Me?

Here and there.

Sometimes under a mountain, hearing birds sing.

Sometimes by a shore, hearing waves.

I'll work and travel at the same time.

- Doesn't it sound amazing? - Yes. right.

My mom ran a store for a long time, you see.

When it went well, the landlord was eager to raise a rent, and I had to watch it.

Having a place of my own is the best.

Right, it's best to feel at ease.

My house contract is almost over.

The landlord won't increase the rent, will he?

No way. That house is too messy and small.

And talk about that neighborhood.

If that landlord is a man of conscience,

he won't.

My gosh, thanks a bunch.

It really cheered me up.

I didn't mean it like that, Yong-mi.

You're worrying too much,

so it was my way of telling you not to.

It was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry.

Forget it. I know you didn't mean bad.

But if you feel that guilty, treat me to a meal.

Okay.

How did last time's job hunting go?

No word from them.

I'm not expecting much either.

What kind of a company would employ me?

I'm just job hunting out of habit.

But you never know.

Cheer up

- Hello. - Hi.

VESTED INVESTMENT AND SECURITIES

Yes, understood.

Ji-hyun, send me the monthly report.

You know how my brows are.

Empty and dull.

But this alone will make me look sharper.

Honestly...

you look funny.

Don't you agree?

It's all in progress.

You haven't seen it healed yet.

It'll become crisp yet natural like my own brows.

Still I bet it'll look quite unnatural.

Don't do it then.

You don't even know the market price.

Ask around.

Even your distant family would have to pay 100,000 won.

Stop nitpicking. I'm saving you some money.

No way. You're making them use money.

Stop throwing away money.

It doesn't grow on trees.

- She's right. - She always butts in.

Beauties like her don't understand us.

Plain-looking people like us

need to doll up as much as we can.

Why is it so noisy in here?

Mr. Cheon is here.

Yes.

That's it.

- Give me the number later. - Got it.

You're looking buff after only three months

into going to the gym.

That's not playing fair.

You must lift about 500kg of the Big 3.

What? 500kg of the Big 3?

I'm not a wrestler.

I can roughly lift about 300 to 400kg.

But 500kg if I give it my all.
