Cold Blooded Intern (Cruel Intern / Janhokhan Intern / 잔혹한 인턴)

Good work.

Ms. Lee...

will resign.

Ms. Lee?

Did you get home safe?

Thanks so much for your help today.

No.

Don't thank me.

Ms. Choi just told me the news.

Already?

I hoped to tell you myself.

Why did you...

suddenly make that decision?

In case I changed my mind.

I gave birth sooner than I thought,

and I realized my baby must've felt...

how anxious and uneasy I was.

I'd been consumed by worries about maternity leave...

and returning to work.

Once I saw my baby,

the decision came to me easily.

But still,

won't you regret it?

I guess...

I might.

But...

no one pushed me into making this decision.

It was my choice.

I think I'll be fine.

Thanks so much for being there...

with me today.

No.

Thank you for taking good care of me.

And I'm sorry.

Will you pour me one?

- Hae Ra. - Soo Pyo.

Go ahead. What is it?

No, you go first.

My story's not nice. You start.

Mine too.

Shall we...

talk at the same time?

Okay.

- I quit work. - I can't work.

What?

You quit? What...

Are you insane?

You haven't worked for a week yet.

How can you say that?

Go back right now.

Ask them to cancel your resignation...

before they process it!

It's done and dusted.

You want to quit after just two days.

I quit after working at the same job for 20 years.

Can't you support me?

I...

I have a real personal issue.

Do you think I don't?

Whether you did or not, you should've talked to me first!

Are you that proud of quitting without talking to me?

I didn't quit, okay?

I was let go.

What?

What did you do?

I fought as hard as I could,

but it was of no use.

But...

Still, you should've fought harder!

You try fighting harder, then.

I want to.

I wanted to go back to work so badly.

If I'm saying I can't do it this early in,

there's a good enough reason!

What about me, then?

Do you think I wanted to quit after fighting so hard to stay?

Oh, well.

If the company's determined to let you go,

what can you do?

No one pushed me into making this decision.

It was my choice.

I think I'll be fine.

Thanks so much for being there...

with me today.

Why thank me?

She doesn't know what I did.

What on earth happened?

Intern Go, explain the situation.

Did Ms. Lee go into labour out of shock...

because we couldn't find a designer,

or did she run a marathon while she was there?

What happened?

- Gosh. - Well?

Isn't it a relief though?

The baby came two months early but it and the mom's healthy.

I should've gone instead to get him.

I'm pretty fast because I'm jogging these days.

Who'd have thought the designer would ditch work to run a marathon?

How will we fill in for Ms. Lee?

She left suddenly and had no time to transfer her projects.

It's so frustrating.

Ms. Choi's here.

You can sit down. Sit, everyone.

You must all be surprised by the news.

We're not just surprised.

She'll be back after her three-month...

maternity leave, right?

Well...

Ms. Lee...

She didn't take leave.

She resigned.

- What? - But...

You're dropping too many bombs in a row.

We'll cancel the contract...

with the designer who ditched us yesterday.

Since Ms. Lee's now gone, I redistributed her tasks to you.

My gosh.

When did you organize all this?

Check the extra tasks you're allocated.

Everything's listed so meticulously.

I don't even have any questions.

Unlike the others, as manager,

I think I can handle more tasks than these...

But I'm sure you have a plan. I'll do my best.

We don't have plans as of yet to hire extra personnel.

Once the urgent stuff's taken care of,

we'll redistribute the tasks and projects.

Wait, Ms. Choi.

Did you say we'll redistribute tasks without hiring extra personnel?

Ms. Go's an intern,

but she's experienced.

Use her skills well.

Okay. I'll do my best.

Have a good day, then.

- Bye. - Bye.

Ms. Geum. Don't you think things are a bit weird?

How so?

Oh, Ms. Lee resigning?

No, Ms. Choi.

She said Ms. Go's experienced and we should use her skill.

What do you think that means?

Quite literally,

we're short-staffed, so we should take advantage...

of the experienced intern.

You're so frustrating.

I have a bad feeling about this.

What do you mean?

Ms. Park said something.

If Ms. Lee goes on leave, we'll need a replacement.

She thinks that's why Ms. Choi hired Ms. Go.

It's possible.

Ms. Choi always has a plan.

Ms. Choi could,

but Ms. Go can't and that's the problem.

- What? - What did I tell you?

I said Ms. Go is real scary.

Don't give her any work...

just because Ms. Choi told you to.

She's just waiting for the chance to replace you.

Watch out.

Assistant Manager Lee Moon Jung.

She resigned instead of applying for maternity leave?

Yes, sir. That's the final decision.

My word.

That was taken care of a bit too easily...

that I'm wondering if it should be so simple.

This must be why people rave about you.

Thank you.

If two people from that team resign instead of going on leave,

won't you need more staff?

Will a middle-aged intern be enough?

I plan to observe Ms. Go for a while...

before putting her straight to work.

Okay. You know what you're doing.

Put together your own dream team.

So the old boomers above us can't complain...

when I name you my successor.

Show us what you can do.

Yes, sir.

By the way...

Are you prepared in case the lady you hired...

flips sides or something?

We won't have to worry about her doing that.

Did you always trust people this much?

No.

I do not trust people.

I only trust in human desperation.

Yes.

There are many desperate humans.

I'm here at last.

You can file for unemployment benefits over there.

Okay.

- Can you fill in this form? - Okay.

Do I look like I'm unemployed?

- Okay, sure. - What, it's not in?

Yes.
