Secret (비밀 / Bi-mil)

I'm sorry, but you can't return this.

I bought it two days ago and I haven't worn it, so why can't I return it?

Look at the make-up stain here.

What? I didn't do that! It was there when I bought it.

Come on, it's from you.

What? What's wrong with you?

Where's the owner? Let me talk to the owner.

Isn't the owner here? I know her very well.

Do you want to lose your job?

She... passed away.

What? When?

About two weeks ago.

Today is our first day to open since her funeral.

All right, I'll change it for you.

But you have to come again.

Bye.

Hello, this is Jun's Club.

Hi, Mr. Park! I was about to call you.

Why isn't he coming? When?

He should've been here by now...

Is this Jun's Club...

I think he's here! Let me call you later and thank you.

Why are you so late?

Well, I didn't mean to...

Hurry, let's get going. We'd better get busy.

Hey, keep an eye on my shop. I'm going to the office.

What are you waiting for? Follow me.

Although it's been empty for a long time, but it's still too dirty, isn't it?

It looks fine.

Oops, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lee Hee Jung.

I'm Kim Jun Ho. Nice to meet you.

By the way... where are other employees?

Other employees?

There used to be only me, the owner, and Mr. Park.

Didn't you know that? We had a part-timer for sales as well.

This is a tiny business.

You have a big bag. Are you coming back from somewhere?

Yeah, from a trip. Thank you.

A trip, huh? Haven't you worked before at other places?

No, this is my first job.

I guess you already heard it from Mr. Park...

...we can't pay you much at first. You know that, right?

But it'll get better. The more you sell, the more you make.

Your title is Sales Manager, but you'd better get ready for hard work.

No smoking here.

The fabric will smell like cigarettes. Drink water instead.

OK.

Start working when you finish drinking.

The boss will be here soon.

I'll make sure to transfer business to you thoroughly.

No, put it down.

Hey, let's take a break.

No, I'm busy. I need to finish this ASAP.

Let's take a break.

Are you going to see your boyfriend?

I broke up with my girlfriend not too long ago...

I told you not to smoke here.

Right, you did.

Your name is Hee Jung, right? You really look like my ex-girlfriend.

Hey, what did I tell you? Put it out!

Do you want to get fired on your first day?

No.

Then what's wrong with your attitude?

Attitude? What about it?

Let's get back to work.

But the weather is still hot.

What's wrong with you?

You are so timid. This isn't a big deal.

Do you know how much this is?

If you're going to keep this up, just quit now!

We don't need someone like you!

Dad!

What are you doing here?

I thought it was gonna rain soon so I brought an umbrella, but it's sunny now.

The weather forecast was wrong.

I heard on the radio that the highway traffic was terrible.

You must be hungry. I bought your favorite mackerels.

Is Ji Eun coming home early?

Sure.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Jin Woo, I'm here!

Long time no see!

I heard you're going abroad to study.

Yeah.

So it was true. Why didn't you tell me?

When are you leaving?

Coffee, please.

Nothing for me. I'm leaving in a minute.

Great! I'll tell my dad.

One of his friends lives in New York. We can go together.

He has an empty mansion in Manhattan. I heard it's pretty spacious.

Get a life, Lee Ji Eun!

Why do you keep lying?

Just tell me your real situation, nobody is gonna blame you.

What do you mean?

I just can't believe anything you say. Everything from your mouth is a lie.

What? Your dad runs a transportation company?

His friend lives in New York? What does he do there?

You shouldn't be like this, you pathetic little liar.

Why do you do this?

What about you? Are you any better than me?

You went to school by bribing and you're running away from your military service.

Do you know the alphabet? You'll have a hard time!

Well, it's not your fault you were born stupid.

Just blame your parents.

Hey!!!

Are you crying? Why are you crying?

I'm not crying.

Did you fight with Jin Woo?

It's over.

Is it?

I broke up with him. He's boring and stupid.

But when I think it's over I feel sorry for him.

He threatened me to kill himself.

Did he? Really?

He really annoys me!

You went too far.

What?

I feel sorry for him. You're so mean to him.

All right, I'm the mean one.

Can you first check where Jae Won Tailor's had moved?

Since it was a long time ago, the address must've been changed many times.

I thought about that.

I see. I'll pay for your work generously.

In return... you have to find it out.

His name is Lee Jong Man.

Lee, Jong, Man! That's right.

He supposed to have a daughter. She's twenty-five.

Her birthday is September 21st.

Aren't you hungry? You seem like you have no appetite.

What time do you go to the shop?

Are you still working there?

Why does she have to quit? It's her life!

Why do you tell her what to do?

She's not a little child!

Ji Eun!

Keep working hard, sister.

Open your own shop some day, be rich and share your wealth with me.

Bring me some water.

Dad, Ji Eun had a bad day today, so...

This soup is so salty!

Salty? Why is it salty?

It's not salty. Get me some soy sauce.

Hee Jung, come and have a seat here.

You promised me, right?

Why do you work there again? I rather want you to take care of Ji Eun.

Dad!

You keep your mouth shut!

Are you going to work there again?

Yes.

What?

I'll work there.

Listen, you gotta work overnight there.

Why do you want to make clothes at the market?

If you really want to work, find some other job.

If I work hard, I can have my own shop.

Although I'm tired, it's a lot of fun. The more I learn about clothing design...

...the more interesting it gets.

Hey dad.

I am grateful to you for raising me like your own.

I just want to be successful and return your favor.

What did you say?

I'm going to the shop.

What's the matter?

All right, get out! That's fine, get out!

Get out and live on your own! What?

Favor? That's hilarious, huh?

What did you say? You never listen to me!

You're always against my will! You just get out, get out, get out!

- Dad! - You get out, get out, get out of here!

Hee Jung!

What's wrong with you, dad?

What?

Why did you treat her like that? What did she do to deserve that?

She's not our maid. Did you raise her to be our little slave?

What the hell are you talking about?

Why do you hate her working there? What's the reason?

It's for her own good.

Dad, if you keep treat her like that, I'll move out with her.

I'm sick and tired of you!

Hey, what are you doing here?

Why are you sleeping here?

What's going on?

You came early.

Don't you have a place to stay?

No.

Don't you live in Seoul? What about your parents?

They passed away.

Both of them?

Yeah.

You shouldn't sleep here anyway. You scared me.

I'm sorry.

Today will be a busy day.

Go collect the money from the retailers...

and pick up the clothes we ordered from the subcontract factory.

Complete the inventory check and financial affairs.

Eat fast and start your work.

OK.

This is for your lunch. And don't worry about paying me back.
