I'd like to thank you all for coming today

to Eunyu Publishing Company's 20th-anniversary celebration.

We'll hear a few words from the CEO, Mr. On Joon-soo.

This year is our publishing company's 20th anniversary.

It is all thanks to your support.

They say that until someone reads it,

it isn't a book, but rather, a collection of letters.

And thus, selling books is a publisher's role.

Breaking through the industry attitude that we don't want to advertise

in order to sell books...

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Are you all right?

I'm sorry. Clean that up.

I hope you liked the sound effects.

Eunyu worked hard for the past 20 years

for literature that you want to possess, literature that you can grab

if you reach out your hand.

It is all thanks to you accompanying us.

We won't forget our conviction

and will do our best so that authors and readers

can be as close as possible.

Thank you.

What is your job, Woo-yeon?

I work at a cafe on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Enjoy.

On Tuesdays, I teach kids in an afterschool program.

When I need cash,

I do single-day gig jobs.

During the remaining times, I'm a calligrapher.

I know, right?

What is my job?

Would you like it wrapped up?

Yes, please.

It's 2,000 won each.

Wrap just that one.

Please make the ribbon look pretty.

Can she be any crankier?

- Yes? - What are you doing?

Me? Nothing much.

You must have been busy. What did you do today?

You don't have to know.

What are we doing tomorrow?

Finished.

- Woo-yeon. - Yes?

I love you.

- I said, I love you. - Okay.

Let's break up.

We should break up.

Okay, then.

Hold on.

There we go.

Look at that tummy.

- No, focus. - Focus.

Wait.

All right.

Isn't it hot?

Hold on.

Hey, I broke up with my boyfriend.

Is she crazy?

Is her hobby collecting ex-boyfriends? Why did she break up again?

It can't be helped.

No, it can't.

Please finish it in a hurry.

What about Woo-yeon?

She has Han Jin-ju too. Come here.

That feels good.

Thanks to you, I got to come to a nice place like this.

It's really nice.

You worked really hard on Baek Chun-sik's Drug Case.

I didn't do much. You worked even harder, Ms. Han.

I personally think...

Well, you're younger than me,

but you're beautiful and competent too.

I respect you down to my bones.

I respect you.

How did the blind date go?

I decided not to go on it.

Why not? Didn't you say he's a handsome doctor?

Yes, he is,

but there was a twist.

The man is 30 years old,

but my goodness,

he has never dated before.

- What's wrong with that? - What do you mean?

If he hasn't dated for that long,

there must be something wrong with him

or maybe there's a problem.

If not, how could he have never dated for all those years?

What I just said wasn't about you.

Is it too late to apologize? I'm sorry...

It's okay. Why are you sorry?

I'm happy.

Can I get some water?

Your phone has been ringing for a while. You should check it.

Are you a psychopath?

You even bought a gift for the 100th day. Why did you break up?

He dumped me.

Should we drink tonight?

Isn't he crazy?

How can he dump me on our 100th day?

It's as if he was waiting for this day.

I bet he was waiting.

Is he a pervert? Why would he wait 100 days to break up?

He probably waited 100 days for her to love him.

Gosh. I'm sorry, we just closed.

It looks like you're still open.

I can see people inside.

They're not people. They're monsters. Alcohol monsters.

If you come back next time,

a rolled omelet is on me.

I see. Okay. We'll get going.

Okay. Sorry about that. Please visit us again.

How does it feel to break up?

I hear other people get so sad they can't even eat.

- I like it because you eat well. - Woo-yeon.

Rude Kyung Woo-yeon.

I had to turn away my precious customers because of you.

Hey. Why do you keep breaking up?

Yes, stop breaking up.

Do you think I want to break up?

If you have 12 ex-boyfriends, I think you might be one of those people.

An ex-boyfriend collector.

Gosh. I broke up with my boyfriend, and no one will comfort me.

It's been too many times.

- Jinx. - Jinx.

I wish I could break up too.

I wish I could cry from being dumped.

Ms. Prosecutor, you should lower your standards.

There are no Kang Dong-wons or Jo In-sungs in real life.

If I lower them now,

all my efforts to get into SNU and pass the bar will be wasted.

Who will compensate me for all those years?

Who will compensate her?

Do you date to get compensated?

Even if you're head over heels, dating is hard. You're so immature.

Do you get it now?

Yes. You should mark her words.

I'm saying this to you too.

You should stop doing that.

What did I do?

Don't date someone just because

you think you might like them later.

It's unfair to you and the other person too.

Should I make soft tofu stew or fish cake soup for you?

Yes, a fish cake soup.

I'll make it when this is finished.

What is it?

What? Nothing.

I need to go to the restroom.

You shouldn't date.

You don't know how to love.

I don't know how to love.

That's the curse I have.

A curse where I can't

love anyone.

Except

for that one person.

They say, "Out of sight,"

"out of mind."

Then why

is it only getting clearer?

You jerk!

Why do I still like you?

It's so annoying.

- What is this? - A handsome young man.

Your shoelace is untied.

Gosh.

Someone must be thinking of me.

If our shoelaces get untied every time someone thinks about us,

mine would always be untied.

You freak.

Let's go.

Flowers are in bloom,

and the unwelcome yellow dust

and spring fever came with them.

Dear students of Jinha High,

are your plans for the semester faltering?

I'm sure some of you have heard this staying.

"This too shall pass."

This saying originated in "Midrish",

a Jewish commentary.

One day David gave an order...

He's so good looking.

He told them to engrave a phrase on it.

A message that will bring me joy in times of victory...

I thought you'd be a delinquent since you got a special admission,

but you always win awards. I'm glad I excused you from study hall.

A message that also brings courage in times of defeat.
