Into the Ring (Memorials / The Ballot / Chulsapyo / 출사표)

It's about you, Se Ra.

It was you from the start.

Se Ra, you...

You and Gong Myung.

What?

Do you get along well?

Yes. We get along just fine.

It was fine.

Tell Gong Myung to come 30 minutes earlier from now on.

To have breakfast with us.

Why would you make him breakfast?

We must keep work and our private lives separate.

This is what I was worried about.

Subconscious bullying because you're his superior.

It's not that. What do you know, Dad? Gosh.

Did I go too far?

A dad rarely knows about his daughter's private life.

My dad was just the same.

Don't you be stupid.

Darn it.

Why did she run off?

We're going to see each other in the morning anyway.

Gong Myung!

Hello.

Where is Chairman Goo?

Se Ra? She left for work already.

- Pardon? - She left in a rush.

I have no appointments today, right?

Until I call you, you cannot enter my office.

You cannot call or send any texts.

Is that a rejection?

Aren't you leaving?

The chairman's still present.

Right.

Listen.

You're just human,

so you can mistake sympathy, goodwill, and affection.

You can be mistaken, but we're discerning beings.

You must think wisely.

Chairman Goo will leave when her term's done.

But you must stay on as a civil servant.

Do you get what I mean?

Yes.

Have you eaten?

No.

Me neither. Shall we go and eat?

No.

- You aren't hungry? - What's he saying?

Why is he grinning?

- How about coffee? - Well...

I'm hungry.

When did she order food?

So it's true that Chairman Goo stayed in her office...

for two mealtimes to work on her policies.

Policies?

Yes. Right.

Oh, here's what you asked for.

Thanks.

Come to my office and brief me.

Yes, I will...do that.

And tomorrow at 3 p.m., you will attend the presentation ceremony...

of Mawon Scholarship Foundation.

That is all.

You can go back to devising your policy.

I'll go now.

Wait.

Sit over there.

(During working hours, don't make any signs of affection.)

This is what you came up with after a whole day's deliberation?

It didn't take all day.

My deliberation ran slightly long. That's all.

Just like how you drafted the office regulations,

I would like to suggest a few dating regulations.

It has to be a secret. No one can find out.

Keep this confidential no matter what.

You do it too.

Wink.

I don't know why you're still here.

- Come on. - But your time is up.

You're not the vice chairperson anymore. Step down.

Wait. Hold on. I was in the middle of my statement.

But Representative Heo cut me off.

I still have time.

Everyone. I'll use the rest of my 25 seconds.

- Your 25 seconds are up. - Come on.

Your guaranteed time to speak is over.

No more. Get a grip.

- You're not the vice chairperson. - No, I still have time.

I have 25 seconds left, but he cut me off.

- You all saw that. - Show some respect for the elders.

Then, show some respect for the juniors.

I was speaking.

Your time is up. It's over.

I told you you're not the chairperson anymore.

You're not the chairman or the vice chairperson.

You're the youngest representative here.

Here's the first rule. We cannot make any signs of affection...

- orally or in writings... - Stop it.

when we're working.

I still have 25 seconds left.

Everyone, you made the youngest to get coffee.

This kind of hierarchy...

Actually, I already knew that Mr. Park...

and Ms. Kim of the service center were dating a long time ago.

I could tell that they were dating.

My hunch was totally spot on.

I heard they've been dating for five years.

Five years?

Well, when you date someone from the office,

the water purifier and the copy machine knows it too.

Did the copy machine have a better hunch than me?

Well, anyway, you can't hide being in love.

Here's the second rule.

The first one to expose us will end his or her life.

- What are you doing? - What?

It's nothing. Nothing.

Please make way...

for the golden hour.

Thank you.

Hey, I knew it.

I already knew it...

when I was a temp in the service center.

In the afternoon, they would go out...

and come back to the office with some time in between.

Their coffee cups were from the same cafe.

I bet they applied to get a day off on the same day.

You like this kind of gossip.

Totally.

Tell me some more. What happened?

Who found out? Who?

Where did they get caught?

Gosh.

Here's the third rule. If the residents of Mawon-gu,

people from the office,

and the district assembly suspect our relationship,

we will never admit our relationship...

even if we are tortured.

(The Office of Mawon-gu District Representative Goo Se Ra)

This is our fourth round trip...

from the end of the alley to here.

You have five minutes until you get off work.

Five whole minutes.

Then, should we call it a night five minutes early?

And we can meet...

five minutes early tomorrow.

Sure.

Gong Myung.

Why?

Who yelled at me and said that this wasn't time to date?

What did you two see?

Gong Myung.

No. My gosh. I didn't do that.

Hey, that looks nice. Let's try that next time.

Did you forget?

When people suspect our relationship, we must deny it.

But we got caught red-handed.

How long have you been dating?

Before or after she became the chairman?

After.

Who confessed first?

I did first.

- Then, who held hands... - You've got to be joking.

Don't use our relationship in your bets!

Did you kiss?

- No. Yes. - Yes.

It's not something you'd get confused about.

Se Ra is accurate when it comes to kisses.

Stop it!

We kissed.

I kissed her first.

Let's be more careful.

Let's be careful with our relationship day and night.

Why did she come up with the rules?

Gosh.

What rules?

You... Gosh, what rules?

What rules?

What is that?

Oh, right.

These are the letters we received for the chairman.

I thought about throwing them out,

but I thought you should at least see them once.

Okay. Sure.

- Do you want them? - Yes. Great.

Here.

(Recipient: Chairman of Mawon-gu District Assembly)

- The basics are done. - Now for the crash course.

Let's start the crash course.

If you could, make it short.

Let's learn everything about the Smart One City.

Smart One City?

Since the groundbreaking ceremony.

No, since my meeting with the chief, I've been getting curious.

If we're investing that much money in that project,

you would have known about it...

as you were in the Planning and Budgeting.

Of course.

I love behind-the-scenes stories.

Mr. Seo, please put it in layman's terms.
