What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (김비서가 왜 그럴까)

I'm sorry, I took so long to reply to your numerous confessions.

I... like you, Vice Chairman.

Let's go together.

I don't want to go by myself.

Come with me, kids.

Episode 9

Wait.

Why don't we make this clear?

What?

We're putting a period to the flirting phase and going to date, right?

- Yes, that's correct. - That's corr...

Someone might mistake you for a host of a quiz show or something.

Why do you sound so formal?

Because that was correct.

Wait for me!

My lady!

Wait for me, my lady.

Why don't we go together, my lady?

Please take care, Vice Chairman.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Because I don't want us to separate.

Secretary Kim, I told you this before but

I'm smart, handsome, rich, and competent.

So, you should marry me.

As soon as possible.

I mean, it's been not even an hour since we started dating, but you are proposing to me already?

Don't you think you're rushing into it?

You're rushing even more than me, though.

Pardon?

No, it's nothing. Hurry and go inside.

Alright, I will see you tomorrow then.

Go!

Wow, it's so much fun.

It's your turn now, Oppa.

Since you are older than me, I will give you a push.

Thank you.

By the way, Oppa, you know,

Mi So wants to marry you.

M-marry?

Yup. You look like a prince.

- Promise me. - I will come back to see you again.

I can't help it.

Why did you come back?

Because somebody may want to see someone for the whole night.

I mean, you.

I came back because I was afraid you might want to see me all night.

You know this well, right? I don't give people a second chance.

But since it is you, I want to give you a second and third chance.

A chance to see me.

What do you think? Aren't you honored to become someone special to me?

Yes, I'm honored.

Have a good dream, Secretary Kim.

You know what a good dream is, right?

Of course, I will have a dream about you.

Let me hug you one more time.

I think I will be able to have a good dream too.

You have an executive meeting tomorrow morning.

I think you'd better quickly go and get a good sleep.

Your nagging is endurable today.

Go inside, Secretary Kim.

Go ahead.

You mouth corners. You'd better curl down.

I can't help it.

Promise me.

I will come back to see you again.

Really? You are certainly coming back to see me, right?

I won't forget your name.

Lee Seong Yeon Oppa.

Right, it was Seong Yeon Oppa for sure.

Is he sick or something? He's never done that before.

What?

Yeong Joon, I mean. He was falling asleep during the morning meeting and he's sleeping right now.

Again?

He slept in this morning. He was almost late to the meeting.

The great Lee Yeong Joon never lets himself relax. What happened to him?

I'm not sure either.

Oh, right. You want to see something funny?

Something funny?

Mr. Vice Chairman.

Yes.

Which one do you like more, Dad or Mom?

He answers back even in sleep.

Is Lee Yeong Joon's brain working 24/7?

I know, right? I just found he does that.

But I've never seen him passed out like this.

Was there a huge change to his state of mind or something?

Oh, Secretary Seol, I'm coming right now. Can you get those materials—

She hung up. Then, work hard, Secretary Kim.

Vice Chairman. Vice Chairman!

He woke up from a nightmare before.

But now he seems to be at peace.

Are you going to go somewhere rather than watching someone sleep?

Vice Chairman, what are you going to do if someone sees us?

Who's going to dare come in here? Don't worry about it.

It's not that I'm worried.

If you have awoken my desires that lay dormant, shouldn't you expect to deal with at least this much?

Your wh-what that lay dormant?

De-sire.

D-desire... How could you say such a thing

so casually and so easily?

Be prepared. Because I won't be adjusting my running speed anymore.

But... you're not sick in any way, are you?

You keep sleeping, which you've never done before.

After last night, I've become comfortable.

I don't think I'll be having nightmares anymore either.

- Pardon? - Contact Dr. Choi

and tell him he doesn't need to prescribe me any more tranquilizers.

Are you really okay now?

I'm not sick. Anymore.

Anymore...

Why are you looking at me like that?

I have something I want to ask.

The oppa that I've been looking for...

is the Writer really him?

Why are you asking something so obvious?

This might sound strange to you,

but I feel as if that oppa were you, Vice Chairman.

Seeing how you've been suffering through nightmares all this time, as if you had gone through a traumatic experience,

and the scar on your ankle, too—

If I was that oppa who you've been waiting for, I'm sure things couldn't be more perfect,

but that oppa isn't me.

Nightmares and scar,

they have nothing to do with that.

Also, whether I'm that oppa or not, what does it matter?

Would your feeling of liking me change because of it?

No, this doesn't change.

Regardless of that issue,

since you're the one I like, Vice Chairman.

Then...

sleep some more.

Yes. I think I'll be there around 7.

I'll text you the passcode,

so if you get there earlier, please move the luggage inside for me.

Please do me a favor. Bye.

I'm moving in today.

But it's a weekday.

It's cheaper on a weekday.

I've only just started working, so my parents are paying for the apartment deposit and moving costs for me.

So I should keep the cost down and do my part.

But it's probably going to be tough to live alone after living with your parents all this time.

Still, to become a career woman like you, I have no other choice.

I'm going to concentrate harder on work while living nearby.

- But shouldn't you be at the development team meeting right now? - What?

I'll concentrate harder on work from now on.

- I'll be back. - Alright.

Writer Lee Seong Yeon

This call cannot be connected. You will be forwarded to voicemail.

Writer! You've been waiting long, haven't you?

No, not at all.

Oh, the response to the book concert has been amazing.

It nearly caused our agency to crash today.

There are requests for television appearances and interviews.

You will keep being active in the future, right?

No. I'm not interested.

Why not? It'll be good for you to be more active. And you're so well-spoken, too.

You see, I really enjoyed your book concert.

Especially when you spoke about the person you like at the end.

That person was in the audience, too, right?

She must have been extremely touched.

- Secretary Seol. - Yes?

Secretary Choi went to the reserve forces training. Could you drive me instead?

I think I need to look over my documents on the way.

Yes, just leave it to me.

I will take good care of you without any mistakes, President.

You won't be driving me into the... afterlife, will you?

No way!

Did you call for me?

You can have lunch with me today, right?

Yes. You have no luncheons scheduled, so it's possible.

It's our first meal together after becoming a couple,

so I'd like it to be at some place special.

Yes, I'll make a reservation at a special place.

Not somewhere we've been to before but some place new.

Yes. I'll make a reservation at a new place.

Oh, how about getting a cake, too?

We should celebrate this special moment.

- Yes. I will get the layer cheesecake you like. - Good—

What is this? Is this really a conversation between a couple?

It's what I've always done, but it's making me feel a little... weird.

It might be cheesy, but should we light some candles?

No. There's no need for candles.

But I made a special effort to prepare a celebration for our beginning.

I made the preparation since I made the reservation.

Is the food good?

Oh, yes. It's very delicious.

- Thank you very much. - You look like a great couple.

If someone saw, they would think you were his secretary.
