Pegasus Market (Cheap Cheonrima Mart / Ssabnida Cheonrimamateu / 쌉니다 천리마마트)

Honey.

Yes?

Were you fired from work?

I'm asking you if it's true you work fired from work.

I wasn't fired.

I was just transferred.

If something like that happened, you should've told me!

Do you know how I was humiliated at my gathering?

I'm so humiliated.

How am I supposed to face people now?

Is this something to be that embarrassed about? Were you that embarrassed?

Then you think I'm happy?

People were saying you were demoted to work at some small market.

They were saying it was the same thing as being fired.

They were making fun of me while pretending they were worried about me!

I felt like I was covered in poo water!

Dad.

Dad, were you...

Were you really fired from work?

Then...

...when people ask me what my dad does for a living,

what should I answer now?

What should I do?

Pegasus Market

Who ordered jjajangmyeon?

Here!

How much is it?

Is that you, Jung Bok-dong?

You were the class president of class 3-2 of Manman High School, right?

Don't you remember me?

It's me, Chul-Soo! Oh Chul-Soo!

We were in the same class!

Oh, Chul-Soo!

Oh Chul-Soo!

Hey, it's been so long!

It's good to see you, friend!

Yes, it is!

I heard how you were doing from our classmates.

I heard you're a hotshot at DM Group.

Royal Muk.

The sales for royal muk...

...It's amazing.

Ms. Jo!

You need to come to the market!

Why? Did something happen?

Well, Assemblyman Kim Chi-ah came out of the blue.

He's going around and criticizing everything.

Assemblyman Kim Chi-ah is at our market?

Mr. Jung isn't here right now! We need you to come down!

Okay, I'll be right there after I just save this.

Hello!

Yes, hello.

Those seafood!

You need to make sure where they're from.

That's where you find corruption.

Hello, sir!

You work hard day and night to help Bonghwang City's development.

So I'm truly honored that you came to visit our market!

I'm the manager of Pegasus Market!

My name's Moon Seok-goo!

Mr. Moon.

Respect.

I can't believe I saw the bow I only heard about in legends!

Is this a dream or what?

I heard only great experts know how to do that!

I wonder who Mr. Moon really is!

Moon Seok-goo...

I didn't know there were young people who still did the grand bow these days.

You know your manners.

Thank you, sir!

To be honest, I was initially upset that no one was there to greet me when I came in.

But I feel better now, thanks to you.

I'm sorry, sir.

If I knew you were coming ahead of time,

then I would've at least prepared a sign for you at the entrance!

Oh, my!

Goodness!

Look at how the manager here is boot licking.

He looks like he's ready to do anything for him.

That's why assemblymen do whatever they want.

It's because everybody can't say anything mean to them in person.

Jeez, I hate that.

Hey, Mr. Moon.

I'm thirsty. Do you have anything cold to drink?

I'll bring you something cold right away.

All right.

It would be horrible if Mr. Kim gets sick if he drinks the water in a hurry.

He might blame our market!

What should I do?

The cabbage is sold out.

Here's your water, sir.

Hold on.

What's with this cabbage?

You might get sick if you drink in a hurry.

So you should drink slowly as you blow the cabbage leaf away.

Jeez, I thought our manager was a sycophant.

But there was a twist!

What a great satire!

By putting a cabbage leaf in the water,

he's telling him to go easy on the bribes.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Goodbye, sir!

You're so cool!

You're the best!

You're so cool!

What happened?

There was one cabbage leaf remaining at the fresh produce section.

Jeez.

He was really cool.

How's our noodles?

It's delicious.

After I got fired from my job,

I ended up going through my severance pay.

And one day, I realized I had to do something.

I thought I needed to learn a skill to support my family.

So at age 40,

I started working from the bottom

as a Chinese restaurant kitchen worker and a dishwasher.

I see.

It's been 5 years I set up my own restaurant.

These days, I do the deliveries myself.

Everybody's having a hard time because the economy's bad.

But what are you doing here at this hour?

What about work?

Mr. Jung's late again.

Something always happens whenever he comes to work late.

He can't be....

When we were in high school, you were good at everything, Bok-dong.

No, I wasn't.

You were smart and athletic.

You even wrote poems and you won awards at writing competitions.

I did?

Oh, did I?

You were really into literature.

As you live, you experience all kinds of things.

You may become bankrupt or lose all your money.

Or get demoted from work too.

I didn't inherit anything from my parents.

And I never got anywhere using my connections.

I'm just hanging in there with what I have.

But you know...

I'm still happy with my life.

All of my family members are healthy.

My restaurant isn't doing too well.

But it makes enough to let me pay back some of my bank loans and support my family.

And I even ran into a high school friend I really liked and admired.

Out of everybody I know, you're the most successful person.

Stop wallowing in your misery.

Go back inside if you got enough fresh air.

Mr. Moon.

Welcome, Mr. Jung.

Yes, Mr. Moon.

Sir, what are you doing here? Why are you staring at the wall?

When I look at an empty wall like this...

...it reminds me of an unknown space.

Doesn't it make you want to fill it up with something creative?

Pardon?

Use your imagination.

This thought occurred to me.

Ocean.

What if we fill up this space with the ocean?

Fill up what with the ocean?

I'm saying we should create a break area.

Oh, a break area.

You're right. It's a waste to not use this space.

I think it's a great idea.

Since you agree too, I'll do my best to work on it.

Yes, sir.

We'll make a beautiful area.

Sounds of the ocean.

Smell of the ocean.

Let's transfer those right here as they are.

Pardon?

A few days later

Eat some popcorn while you look around!

It's $2.43!

It's amazing!

Oh! A whale!

Do you like it?

Mr. Jung.

This isn't a rest area. It's a large aquarium.

Just how much of the budget did you use?

It's quite realistic, right?

I had a hard time purchasing the aquatic animals. Whales are expensive.

I brought seawater from Dokdo Island.

I installed the best equipment as well.

We need to maintain the optimum levels of oxygen and temperature

so we can prevent the aquatic animals from dying.

Please do a good job of maintaining the aquarium.

Me?

You want me to take care of a whale?

Wow, fish!

Be careful! Be careful as you look around!

The customers seem quite happy with it.

But in order to maintain a large aquarium like this,

it will take a lot of money every month.

Don't worry about that.

We can just ask HQ to pay for it.

HQ?
