STILL SHINING

MARCH 2021

Hello, sir.

You don't have to bow like that with our team.

Ah… Okay.

Dawn is a good time for programming.

It's quiet.

As for Grandma and Grandpa,

they're so happy I got a job

that they're always picking up tabs for people in town.

And Hui-seo…

He's even more thrilled.

He's always saying he's happy.

I've never seen someone

who says that out loud.

I thought it was just a word.

It's peculiar.

As for me…

Well…

Does it even matter?

The train is now approaching.

In position.

Doors opened. Screen doors opened.

The doors are closing.

TRAIN OPERATOR 231 YEON TAE-SEO

- - Hello.

- Tae-seo, we're here. - Hey.

- I'm off. - Hey, Tae-seo. You're going?

- Last train? - Yeah.

At least we saw each other. See you later.

- Good luck. - Bye. Good luck.

- Ma'am, I… - We ordered for you.

Oh, thank you.

- Do you want a drink? - I'm on the 6:01 a.m. train tomorrow.

I have to leave right after.

I know we eat fast for work, but slow down, man.

When did you get here?

I was going to see Mi-ju after doing errands for Dad, but she's busy.

Geez. I'm hungry.

Let's make some ramyeon.

I forgot to hook up the gas. You know I don't cook at home.

You've forgotten for three years. Geez.

My goodness.

- Sure. It happens. -

It's whatever you want, after all.

This is too much.

Sure. I guess it's okay to live like this.

What is this?

- -

- -

It can be a bit loud.

- -

It's too loud to do this at night.

Hey, why do you live like this?

- -

See you later.

Quit looking at me like that.

- Don't point at me. Do this. - Go.

Why are you telling me to attend Mr. Mu's sister's wedding?

You should go.

You know I don't have weekends off.

Come on.

You always say you're busy and never drop by.

Let me know if anything's broken.

I'll come right away to fix it.

Does something have to break for you to come home?

Don't you feel sorry for me? Huh?

Honestly, I don't ever bother you or anything

while I take care of Grandma and Grandpa.

Why are you always busy whenever I call you?

Here it goes again.

If you were busy dating, then it'd be fine.

But you need to see someone to get married.

Then, I can have nieces and nephews.

That way, I can be an awesome uncle.

- - How about three kids?

- I'm hanging up. - What?

- Hello... -

The train is now approaching.

It's Eun-a.

DONGJAK STATION

- Ms. Mo Eun-a? - Yes.

Please come up this way.

Most of our guests are solo travelers.

Many of them are writers who stay here for long periods.

You need to ask the long-term guests for housekeeping hours.

And we outsource the cleaning to another company.

This is our new manager.

- Here's the inventory list. - Okay.

Make sure to clock out at 4:10 p.m. sharp.

Our boss said you were a veteran

and emphasized that I had to remind you of when to clock out.

We inform guests on the booking page that this is an unmanned hotel,

but there are always a few who complain in reviews.

So please remind them when they check in.

Mmm… Also,

you need to wear white tops and black bottoms.

You just need to get the colors right. Did you bring your clothes?

Yes. What about the manuals?

I put all of them up on the monitor.

- And the break room? - This way.

This is the break room.

- I'll put this here for now. - Okay.

I wanted to look around the area.

I heard you ran a guesthouse before.

Where was it?

What happened?

At least you got to run your own business.

- Have you found a place to live? - I had to leave in a hurry, so…

My place is really nice.

My roommate is great too. And I'm moving out in two weeks.

It's close by. I highly recommend it.

I'm telling you because you seem nice.

Could I get your number?

ELECTRONICS STORE

It's been a while.

Hey.

- -

Eun-a.

How have you been?

Let's go.

Go.

I'm so happy.

What is it?

My dad's photo.

I came by to pick it up.

Oh, you can take these bed sheets.

They're new.

Luxury hotels use them.

You should use them.

You'll need them if you're settling here.

They look expensive.

I shipped these to give them to you.

I couldn't organize my things since I left in a hurry.

These were all I could grab.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

I didn't even get to visit Tongyeong.

How can things happen like that?

It's all over with.

I'm actually relieved.

When I closed down the guesthouse,

I was upset, dumbfounded, and heartbroken for months.

But I'm relieved to let it go.

- Is this your mom's kimchi? - Yeah.

It's delicious.

Eat up.

- You can have all of it. -

You can stay here and take your time in finding a place.

Although it's a bit far, you can commute from here.

No, I don't need to stay here.

- I can sleep at my workplace. - Since when?

I'm pretty lucky.

I found a job in Seoul within a couple hours.

My predecessor connected me with her old place.

And my acquaintance will suddenly be away for a week, so she said to stay there.

It's in Seoul.

Everything's been going smoothly after I decided to come to Seoul.

Still,

if where you're staying isn't good, you can come back here.

Seung-jun said you could too.

- He's drunk again. -

- I told him to come home early today. -

Why do you keep changing the passcode?

Eun-a! You don't have to come out!

Stay there, Eun-a! It's okay!

You're so loud!

- I told you to come home early. - Eun-a.

Well…

Look how we've all made it!

Middle schoolers from the country have reunited in Seoul.

This is Suwon.

Have you been well?

As if.

Eun-a, you're the one I envy the most in the world.

Zip it and go away.
