Hey, my…

My one billion won…

I said, did you bring my billion won?

Sir, are you okay?

EPISODE 2

Hey, man.

Can you hear me?

Sir.

Hey!

Whoa.

Whoa.

Dude, I think he's crazy.

Let's get it on video.

This guy's a psycho.

What the hell was that?

What's wrong with that guy?

Geez, that scared me.

Guys, did you…

Did you see a guy…

On a motorcycle around here with a black helmet on?

- Huh? - He's coming this way.

We got to run! Come on!

Guy on a motorcycle.

- Run! - Huh?

Did you see a guy on a motorcycle?

H-He went that way!

Where the hell did he go?

What the hell was that for?

I'm busy as it is.

Almost killed me out here.

Hello?

Hel…

Where are you right now, sir?

Hello?

I thought we had an agreement! Where the hell are you?

Mr. Kang?

What did I just see in those bags?

What?

The money.

Are you kidding me?

Here's your 80 million won, as requested.

Look, I have a favor to ask.

Mr. Kang, is this some kind of joke?

No, it's not what you think. I wanted to give you the full amount,

but it's just…

I was running out of time, and I got desperate.

I'm so sorry.

You're sorry?

NEO SEON YEONGJIN MEDICAL FOUNDATION

You're saying you're sorry after deceiving me like this?

Mr. Kang, why are you trying to pull a fast one on me?

Do you know how disappointed I am?

I trusted you with all my heart,

and you betray me like this?

I'm going to your wife now.

I'm so angry and upset right now…

That I'm going to shred her to pieces.

THE HUSBAND

When the heart rate drops to 40 bpm or lower,

one may experience lightheadedness, syncope, or loss of consciousness.

However, ironically enough

the heart fights to keep beating until the very end.

While chest pain is the most common early symptom of a myocardial infarction,

women and diabetics may display atypical symptoms

such as shortness of breath, indigestion, or severe fatigue.

Moreover, around 20 to 30% of patients experience

myocardial infarctions without any early signs.

So, for an accurate diagnosis, they must…

You didn't have to do that.

Oh.

Hey, you got a minute?

Thanks for the drink.

You're all by yourself again.

Why are you always alone?

You study alone, eat alone, drink coffee alone…

- It's just comfortable. - Mmm.

Are you just used to being alone?

Or do you have to be alone to feel comfortable?

I'll see you around, Taeju.

Hold on.

How do you know my name?

KANG TAEJU

Heart rate.

When resting, the human heart beats around 60 to 100 times per minute.

This is called the resting heart rate.

However, the heart rate may exceed 100 bpm and remain elevated,

even without any physical activity or external stimulus.

This is called tachycardia.

On the other hand, when the heart rate is 60 bpm or lower,

it's called bradycardia.

Both can be signs of underlying conditions,

including cardiac disorders, such as arrhythmia or thyroid dysfunction,

so one must be wary of both symptoms.

That said, what is the most common physical symptom a patient notices

when their heart beats at an abnormal rate due to tachycardia or bradycardia?

Well…

Their heart races.

I'm sharing your umbrella.

How have you been?

What's been going on with you?

What do you mean?

Where have you been for the past few days?

Why do you ask?

I mean, you know.

I was used to seeing you around every day.

So it got me wondering.

Oh.

I was stuck at home with the flu for days.

I actually thought I was going to die.

Flu?

So that's what it was.

- Are you better now? - Yeah, much better.

Were you worried about me?

I was pretty worried about you.

What?

As I was lying in bed,

all I could think about was, "I bet he's feeling lonely."

Why would you think that?

Well, I assumed you'd be studying alone,

eating alone, drinking coffee alone, as always.

But I wasn't around.

I thought that'd make you more lonely.

From the looks of it, I guess I was right.

Thank you.

For what?

You know, for looking out for me, I guess.

I wouldn't call it that.

I don't know. Mmm.

I guess you keep getting to me.

So weird, right?

What do you mean?

How we're on each other's minds.

And we barely know each other.

I think it's weird.

I don't get why I think about you so much.

About how you're always alone, how you're always eating alone…

But mostly, I keep thinking

how lonely you'd be when I'm not around.

I don't want to think about any of that anymore.

Will you be my boyfriend?

I'm going to your wife now.

I'm so angry and upset right now

that I'm going to shred her to pieces.

W-Wait, sir. Just…

INCOMING CALL FATHER-IN-LAW

H-Hey! Wait. Wait a minute, sir.

Look, I wasn't able to reach my father-in-law,

but he's calling me back right now.

I can actually get you the money you want. I promise. I swear.

Are you kidding?

You want another chance?

I mean, have you no shame at all?

I've given you so many chances already.

You want another one?

Yes, please j-just once.

Give me a chance to make up for what I've done.

Don't do this, boss.

No, please, wait. Please, sir! Just once!

Please, just give me one last chance, okay?

Geez, you're making this so hard.

You know, once at my old job,

I made a few mistakes that I could've been fired over, but I wasn't.

Later, I asked the boss why he didn't fire me,

and he said…

"Look, man."

"Everyone deserves at least three chances to be the best version of themselves."

And it's not like harming your wife will make me feel any better.

So, Mr. Kang?

This really is your last chance.

Right, sir.

I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I'm giving you a chance,

but there will be compensation for you breaking my heart, right?

Yes. Of course there will be.

Two billion won.

Pardon?

Two billion.
