Sweet Munchies (Late Night Snack Man and Woman / Yashiknamnyeo / 야식남녀)

Mackerels, octopuses...

Bring that here!

Chef Park.

Hello.

I can breathe now.

I'm serious.

I think you can read my mind better than my colleagues...

that I've been working with for four years.

You said getting your mouth ready...

with cool beer before drinking soju was the best.

Chef Park, I'm going to drink hard liquor today.

Hard liquor?

I guess you had a tough day.

Yes. Today was infuriating.

I see.

What's my side dish of the night?

Well,

there's a perfect side dish to have...

on a day when you're infuriated.

Here you go.

It's fun...

to pick at the shells.

I'll show how it's done.

It's good.

Taurine in the Manila clams...

will promote the liver function.

This is the best pairing for hard liquor.

This hits the spot.

Did you have dinner?

This is a late dinner.

Isn't this really petty?

They put names for people with permanent positions.

It only says "Access Pass" for contract workers...

instead of our names.

It's so petty.

Putting names on the card isn't that hard.

Right?

My gosh. I've been working there for years.

But no one calls me by my name.

What's your name?

It's Kim Ah Jin.

This is on the house for Director Kim Ah Jin.

Please dig in.

This is for your quiet and long career at the TV station.

Thank you.

This is so good.

Hello.

Hi, Chef Park.

You're coming here often.

I ought to, you know.

My goodness.

Soju, please.

Sure.

The glasses are in front of you.

Okay.

I wonder what he's serving tonight.

I can't wait.

Chef Park, we'll look forward to your food tonight.

Sure.

In other cities... - That's so cheap.

At home... - Seriously.

That guy is unbelievable. - I totally agree.

Don't be ridiculous. - I'm not lying.

There aren't many restaurants.

What should I do?

Because I live alone... - You're lying again.

No way. - How could they do that?

Why?

Dad!

You're intruding on my territory.

Why are you here? I told you not to come.

How could I not? I have the most important job.

You're exaggerating.

No, I'm not.

It's super important to make sure food is properly seasoned.

Not everyone can do this. It's too hard.

I thought this... - You should just...

Gosh, that's way too bland.

It needs more salt.

Since I was young...

Dad. - Yes?

Can you hand me a vest? - Sure.

This is all because of you. - No, it's not.

Wait, Dad.

This is a strong young man's job.

I'm still a lot stronger than you are.

You want to show off your strength? Is that it?

What?

You're blushing. - Come on.

Is it fun teasing your dad?

Why did you come to my house? - Why did you come to my house?

Are you here to look for... - Are you here to look for...

Dad.

Try them on.

Why did you buy them?

I don't want you to wear worn-out shoes.

You have neither a wife nor a girlfriend...

who buys shoes for you.

Do you?

I know a cheapskate like you would never buy a new pair of shoes.

And you always spend all your money on others.

So, what can I do? As your son, I have to buy you new shoes.

White shoes get dirty easily.

They look great on you.

Try walking in them.

Do they fit well?

Absolutely.

How did you know my size?

Wait, what?

What's wrong?

Wait, what happened?

No! Please!

What's wrong?

Contract employees don't get computers.

Pardon?

Then what should I do?

There's a document I have to submit soon.

Actually, permanent employees recently got new computers.

You might find some used computers in storage.

Used computers?

Okay, thank you.

Dad.

I packed some food for you.

Don't skip meals.

You should eat well too.

Just because you're young, doesn't mean you don't get sick.

Dad.

Let's get a new car.

I'll pay for half of it.

Come on. Just take a look.

This car is still perfectly fine.

We bought it when Mom was alive. It's at least 20 years old.

But it still works well.

You need a nice car...

to get a girlfriend and go on dates.

There you go again.

I'm just worried.

This car is too old.

What if it breaks down on the road or something?

Hey.

Why would you worry about such a thing?

Fine, I get it.

Next time,

I'll tell you which model I want.

Are you happy now?

All right.

This is my favorite song.

Father, your son is all grown up now

I look a bit better than you did, don't I?

With my small hands, I pour you...

Both permanent employees and contract employees...

work for the broadcasting station.

Why do they have to discriminate against contract employees?

If they had bought me a new computer too,

I would have been so touched and worked even harder. Idiots.

Seriously...

Gosh, I'm so relieved.

Ah Jin.

Mr. Nam wants you to bind these.

Me?

Yes.

Why can't you do it?

He specifically said that you should do it.

I'm just delivering his message.

What's that?

"Sweet Munches"?

You're submitting a proposal too?

Can't I?

Can contract employees...

submit proposals?

I thought they couldn't.

What about you?

You didn't prepare anything because you're a permanent employee?

Or...

is it because you have no ideas to propose anyway?

I mean...

"A Gay Chef's Sweet Munchies"?

Goodness.

If you have time to do this, just focus on your basic duties.

We're out of coffee and green tea in the pantry.

Okay?

Here.

What are you waiting for?

A hot Americano with an extra shot.

The cup has to be washed first.

Bring the coffee to my desk.

Answer me.

Yes.

See you around.

Mr. Nam wants these bound as soon as possible.

Good luck.

Gosh.

That jerk.

Well, Mr. Nam.

Hello, Ms. Kim.

I'd like to submit a proposal.

Sure, give it to me.

"Sweet Munchies".

I like the title.

Really? - Yes.
