Can't I be the only man that you are nice to and takes care of?

I don't know what you mean by that...

Gosh, this woman really doesn't get it.

Right now,

I'm confessing to you.

Asking you to look at me, and only me.

I'm saying I think I like you, Gyu Rim.

Got it?

Well...

All of a sudden like this?

Well, if you're going to fall for someone,

it can happen in ten seconds.

But I don't think this is a good idea.

What's not a good idea? Why not?

Are you angry with me right now?

No, I'm not angry.

Do you think our connection is just an ordinary one?

Come on, think about it. Our six 60-dollar outfits.

Out of six outfits, for three days in a row,

what do you think the chances are of us wearing the same one?

Okay, so one-sixth times one-thirty-sixth...

That's 1 in 216. On top of that, the same time,

the same bus, and the same part-time job.

Isn't this incredible fate amazing?

And just so you don't get the wrong idea, let me add this.

I'm not the kind of guy to just fall for anyone and confess,

fall for them, confess, and come on so strong.

I'm not that kind of guy.

If I don't confess my feelings to you right now,

I really feel like I'll lose you, and my heart is pounding like crazy.

I really had to work up the courage for this.

I'm not asking for an answer right now.

Take your time and think it over.

"Hey, if I were to date..."

"With this guy,"

"it might be kind of fun."

If a thought like that crosses your mind,

just let me know anytime.

Okay?

I'll tell you now.

I'm really grateful you think so highly of me.

But right now, I don't have the time or energy for a relationship,

and I'm just not in the right state of mind for one.

- Are you rejecting me? - Yes.

- Just like that, right away? - Yes.

So bluntly?

Without even thinking about it?

I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why say you're sorry three times?

You're just making me feel more pathetic.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Can I order now? - Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Hey. - Oh, yes.

- Is there something you need? - Please clean this up.

Okay.

If you do this one more time, I will file a formal complaint.

See? Told you.

Her skin looks so soft.

She said she'll file a formal complaint

if it happens again.

- Deny it. Dude, your first time? - Are you okay?

- Did he touch your hand? - Next time we call her over,

should I pretend to spill juice on her?

Hey, call her over.

What, time to check out her body?

- Want to make a bet? - What is it?

- Whoever's closest, meal is free. - Deal.

Go ahead, call her.

I'm guessing a full B-cup.

- No. - No, you idiot. I say 75B.

- No way. There's nothing there. - Darn, did you touch them?

I said no. It's 75B.

- Do you guys not know your ABCs? - You guys are...

Darn it.

Is this jerk crazy?

- Hey, look at this. Darn it. - I'm sorry.

Hey, look at me. Look at this guy, he's speechless.

That's it. Forget it. We're not settling this.

His uncle is a big shot at the prosecutor's office.

Call him and have this jerk arrested and thrown in jail.

Yes, that's right.

Hey, call The Bear from Mapo, Bulldog from Yongsan,

and The Viper from Wangsimni.

Tell them to come teach this jerk a lesson.

Should I?

You want me to completely ruin this jerk's life?

Yes, call them. Call them all. The prosecutors, the police,

the Bear, the Bulldog, the Viper. Call every animal you know.

You had better call them.

Or I'll throw all of you in a zoo cage,

- and lock you up. - Wait, Kim Mu Jin.

I have no intention of settling with jerks like you,

so let's take this outside. What do you say?

Who's first? Want to go one-on-one? Or all at once?

I'm good either way, so let's fight.

I'll pay for all your hospital bills,

so come on out. Let's fight. Get out here!

I'll take all of you on. I mean it.

- Get out here now. - Hey, just try it.

I know the customer was being a total jerk,

but the customer is always right.

Are you out of your mind hitting a customer?

That's what the Manager said to me.

So I told her I'd report it to the police myself.

As the victim.

And I said I'd file a complaint against her

with the company for failing to protect an employee.

Well, the Manager's face went pale, of course. And those jerks

ran off without a second glance.

I'm not made of steel.

And I'm not a rock.

When someone stands up for me,

is kind to me,

and cares about me, my heart is swayed too.

I'm only human.

What is that

supposed to mean?

I am

telling you that I'm developing feelings for you, Mu Jin.

So does that mean we're

going out now?

I go to bed at midnight and wake up at 4am.

I deliver health drinks for three and a half hours,

and as soon as I get home, I wake up my siblings,

and get them ready for school.

After I feed them and send them off, I do the dishes and the laundry,

vacuum the house, and mop the floors.

Then I go straight to a six-hour part-time job, and when that's over,

I go right to the next part-time job for five hours.

When I get home after all that, I clean up the house and wash up,

and then I pass out. The next day, I have to wake up at 4am again.

Out of 24 hours, I don't even have an hour to live for myself,

and there's no room for you to squeeze in.

So don't sway my heart anymore.

Don't be kind to me,

don't be warm to me,

and don't get angry on my behalf like this.

Just nothing more and nothing less.

Please treat me as just a coworker.

Bravo.

Excellent. He gave them a good scolding.

We can't let guys like those even set foot in there.

Secretary Cha. I'm not just saying this

because he's my son.

- Isn't Mu Jin cool and wonderful? - Yes, he certainly is.

I didn't realise Mu Jin was the type

to go that far in the name of justice.

When it's later revealed that Mu Jin is my son,

this will be a big help to his image, won't it?

Yes, I believe it will.

I won't praise or scold Mu Jin for what happened today.

Act as if I was never briefed on this.

- I don't know anything about it. - Understood. Well, then.

Don't tell me...

Mu Jin and that part-timer

- who was harassed are involved. - Kim Yoon Jin.

What?

You look like I have hit a nerve.

Are Mu Jin and that part-timer really dating?

I will look into it.

No, I mean...

If you know something, just tell me the truth.

The Manager has her suspicions as well,

but I will investigate promptly and give you an accurate report.

Interesting.

That part-timer must be something else.

Mu Jin has only been working there for a few days.

How did she manage to sway his heart so quickly?

He's dating a part-timer?

That arrogant kid?

It's too late. You should go.

Han Gyu Min, Han Gyu Seo.

Han Gyu Min, Han Gyu Seo, wake up.

You have to brush your teeth,

and wash your faces before bed. Get up.

Hurry. Get up.

Go wash up.

Do not just rush through it. Brush up and down,

and get every corner, you hear? I'm going to check later.

(There was not a single thing to eat in the fridge.)

There was not a single thing to eat in the fridge.

Next time, you should at least make

the tuna kimchi stew your father likes.

Be a good daughter. That is how you will be blessed.

Your father.

Gyu Rim!

I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and put on lotion.

Really? Let me see. Open your mouth.

So clean.

- Gyu Seo, time for bed. Lie down. - Okay.

- Sleep well, Gyu Seo. - Okay.

- Sweet dreams. - Okay.

Han Gyu Oh, where are you?

I am going to wait up for you,

so come home and talk to me.
