I Have Not Done My Best (Ajik Choisuneul Dahaji Anatseul Bbun / 아직 최선을 다하지 않았을 뿐)

Geez.

Oh, dear. For real.

I really want it.

(Sseudam Media will be with all the villages.)

It isn't up yet. Darn.

Why isn't it up yet?

Geez, why isn't it up?

What?

It hasn't been announced yet?

Did you have that on your mind?

No, I didn't.

I was just asking.

I'm sure they'll do it when it's time.

You need to relax.

Okay.

Gosh, darn it.

How long are they going to keep me waiting?

Hey, it's up.

Please, please, please.

(Cancelation of winners and return of prize)

"I knew you'd be like that."

From when I was a child,

I've heard that the most from...

...my teachers, my dad,

my friends, and people around me.

No one believes in me,

so who do I think I am to believe in myself?

They said it wouldn't rain today.

The weather forecast is always wrong.

A dumb belief...

...came back as a boomerang called "betrayal."

Hello, Mr. Nam Geum-pil.

I'm an editor at Sseudam Media, Mr. Yoo Jae-woo.

You didn't make the cut,

your work was chosen...

...for the special prize for shorts.

I couldn't get a hold of you,

so I'm texting you.

Please call me when you get this message.

What? It already stopped raining.

Geez, why did I buy this?

I told you that we should trust the forecast.

Even though no one believed in me,

I should have believed in myself until the end.

I'm sorry, Nam Geum-pil.

I'm sorry I doubted you!

I won the special prize.

Mr. Nam.

- Hey! - Mr. Nam.

It has been so long.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you going on a blind date?

Come on. I'm not going on a blind date.

No way. Did you get a job?

I guess you could say that?

Oh, you got a job already at your age?

Well, you see,

I was specially employed.

You were? Where?

Over...

- Over here. - Wow.

Who knew you had it in you?

What are the two of you doing here?

We're looking for jobs together too.

How nice.

By the way, what about Mr. Lee?

You get to know someone during a crisis.

He showed his true colors.

He kept ignoring us...

...and he disappeared in the end.

You keep doing badly on interviews...

...because of that mouth of yours.

What about you? You're still young,

but you dress like this. That's why you failed.

Look at him. He's all dressed up...

...and is showing off his maturity.

- Every dog has his day. - Right.

I'm running late. I have to get going.

I hope the two of you have good results.

- Okay. - Yes.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Hope it goes well. - Thank you.

My goodness. He's so lucky.

Excuse me. You're Mr. Nam, aren't you?

Yes.

As soon as I saw you, I knew it was you.

I'm Mr. Yoo. The editor who contacted you.

Yes, nice to meet you.

You did an homage to "E.T." at the end, right?

Wow. I knew you'd notice that.

Normal people who know nothing...

...say that it's plagiarism,

but talking to someone in the same industry...

...feels so refreshing like this.

I was touched by the picture...

...of the son at the end.

That's why I insisted on your work to be chosen.

I said we needed to create a special prize...

...to give you an award.

Gosh, it wasn't that good.

Anyway, thank you.

The good effort award in a special category,

Mr. Nam Geum-pil of "The Fugitive."

He will be given one million won for his work.

Next up is the grand prize...

...in full-length category.

Siheung 94 of "Where did the time go."

He will be awarded 50 million won and...

...his webtoon will be published as a series.

- Give us a big smile. - Okay.

Good.

Okay, smile.

Very good.

You look like a principal who barged into...

...the students' talent show.

They were all young,

so they didn't know what TPO was.

They should've dressed formally...

...at an awards ceremony like me.

Did you get some prize money too?

You really are a slave to capitalism...

...to ask me about the money first.

I'm starting off with one million won,

but my end will be great.

- Are you paying today? - No.

You said you'd buy alcohol forever.

That's what's interesting about investments.

You're going to regret that...

...you didn't recognize...

...an underestimated big shot.

What the heck is a good effort award?

Is it for your good effort?

People think that the good effort award...

...is for your hard work,

but I never worked hard.

I just displayed a little of my pure talent.

If I had worked hard,

I could've won the grand prize.

I guess it's like an encouragement for geniuses?

What would happen if a genius like me...

...actually worked hard?

I'm even scared of myself.

I'm a foreign species that is ruining...

...the ecosystem of Korea's webtoons.

I'm a monster newbie.

Anyway, good for you.

Sang-ah must be happy.

Dad might actually weep.

Congratulations.

Should I call you Writer Nam now?

Wow.

- Is this free? - No way.

I ordered it when you went to the bathroom.

Congratulations.

Since you took after me,

you'll become a cool grown-up too.

I'm sorry for only concerning you for 43 years.

You have waited a long time, Dad.

I'm proud of you.

I didn't know you'd make it like this.

I can't believe you're this happy for me.

Is this a dream?

Well done.

So forget about cartoons now.

What? Why?

You've done what you wanted.

Now, you should find a decent job.

I'm not expecting anything grand.

Get a job where you can get...

...a paycheck every month. Any job.

I'm going to make a lot of money soon...

...and change your old car...

...that might break any day to an imported one.

My goodness. Tell me that...

...after changing my engine oil at least once.

Here.

Cheers!

Yes.

Can I come in?

Yes. Why?

Here. It's what I borrowed last time.

I've included a little extra too.

Then, are you going to debut now?

Well, you know,

you can say that I've gotten a chance to debut.

My next one will be the one where I can debut.

- Really? - Yes.

- Do your best. - Okay.

How would you feel if I debuted?

Well,

I'm not sure.

What?

I don't know for now,

so you should debut first.

If there's anything you want,

think about it now.

You can take this now.

No way.
