- The last application. - All right. Thanks.

Beautiful.

- Wow! - Wow.

- This is extraordinary. - It is extraordinary.

I just love that.

Is your boyfriend giving you trouble? You're not looking so good.

I know.

Pay some attention to yourself!

That's right! We got to get you married off.

Okay, okay. We don't have much time left before the show.

The President is under stress so let's work hard.

- Okay. - Okay.

[Jo Boutique Apgujeong]

Madam.

What?

What?

Was there... something for me in the mail?

From where?

From America.

America?

Do you know someone in America?

I applied to a school in America.

What school?

A fashion design school.

How will you afford it?

I was going to talk to you if I got accepted.

If you could loan me the money for the airplane ticket and 1st semester's tuition,

I'll take care of the rest.

And I will definitely pay you back.

You're being quite preposterous.

How could you not discuss it with me first?

If you're rejected, what are you going to do then?

I'm busy so please leave.

If I get accepted...

could you loan me the money?

If you get accepted, we'll talk then.

Yes.

So this is it.

Wow.

It's great.

Not bad.

Wow, it's so showy!

It's nice.

These are all your originals? They're to die for.

- Can I pick one out? - If you like.

It's nice to have a friend like you.

I thought Ga Young lived here. There's a place to sleep here?

She sleeps in the factory.

If your mom catches us, are we going to be okay?

I don't know. So you guys be careful.

Here! Cheers, cheers, cheers!

Cheers!

Oh, no!

Oh my goodness.

No...

You're here?

You have it wrong, Madam President.

You dared to set my shop on fire?

Do you have a grudge against me?

I didn't do it.

You're looking at me squarely in the eye and lie?

If you didn't, did a ghost come and set this fire?

I really didn't do it.

I fed you, raised you, sent you to school!

You pay me back like this?

I've done enough for you.

You're old enough now.

Get out!

You didn't want to live here so you applied to a school in America behind my back.

So while we're on the subject, you can pack your bags right now!

Madam,

I know you're angry but she's still young and doesn't have a place to go...

Be quiet.

How dare you stick your nose into this!

Get out.

Miss Go, give me some water.

Why aren't you leaving?

You don't understand my words?

I'll leave.

But... since you got this far by starting with my parents' shop...

I believe I have a right to a portion of it.

What?

What did you say?

So, you want me to give you money?

So, that's how you were thinking that you can go to America to study?

You must not know.

But if truth be told, you need to give me money.

I paid off all your parents' debt.

I took you in when you didn't have anywhere to go.

And now what?

You want money from me?

You're going abroad to study fashion design?

Be grateful I'm not calling the police on you.

This is exactly why people say you shouldn't take in human strays.

Miss Go, put her out tonight.

If she won't leave, call the police and report her for arson.

How bad is the damage?!

Hello.

Excuse me!

I'm here to see the owner.

Over there.

The owner's office.

Thank you.

Hello, this is Kang Young Gul.

Mr. Chairman!

Ow.

Oh, it's nothing.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

Yes, I have this great idea I'm working on.

This time it's for real.

How could you think I'm lying?

Yes. I will call you.

Goodbye.

Who?

I'm... I called you earlier. My name is Lee Ga Young.

You said you know how to use the machine?

Yes.

Line Manager!

What?

She said she knows how to use the machine so take her and try her out.

Come.

I can really sleep here, right?

Yep.

I'm sorry but how much is the pay?

It depends on how good you are.

But there's got to be a range.

I pay as much as the others.

If you don't like it, forget it.

Whoa.

Hello. Have you eaten?

Yeah.

You guys wait outside.

Yes, sir!

Hey.

Hey!

What do you want?

Your president called me again.

Chairman.

Chairman or President, whatever.

Can't you take care of things like that if you work for him?

You let the Chairman make the call directly?

How upset must he have been to call you himself?

What, punk?

So pay back the money before he cuts off your hand!

And that's why...

Do you have any money?

Just for the fact that you're my friend,

I haven't gotten a promotion in over 3 years.

And my pay is still only 800,000 won a month.

Then he takes out your interest payments from it, on top of that!

How can there be no one with money?

It's driving me crazy.

There is someone.

Who?

Jung Jae Hyeok.

Jung... Jae Hyeok?

Are you joking with me right now?

Uh... is there something wrong?

The models today are B grade so they don't have the lines.

If these are on A grade models, on the stage,

with the lights on, they'll be great.

When I was in Paris, I met Karl Lagerfeld once.

Design is...

Let's start over.

What?

I worked on this for 2 years and you want me to start over?

If you don't like it, look for another job.

The Chairman approved this collection himself.

So telling him to start over might be viewed as pure meanness.

And the Designer Manager has many important ties in the industry.

You might not know how much effort it took to scout him to our company.

That's enough. Go see to your work.

Um...

You have a guest waiting.

Hi.

Thank you.

You seem to be doing great.

What grade were we in together?

You don't have to use formal speech with a classmate.

I didn't go to school very often but we were in the same class.

I was very busy then, too.

This coffee is good. What kind of coffee is it?

What was your name?

I forgot to give you my business card.

- You're in Dongdaemun? - Yeah.

If you look at it, we're in the same business.

I hear things are tough at Dongdaemun these days.

What fashion business isn't struggling?

Are you guys struggling, too?

So, what did you want to talk about?

You didn't come to talk about money, did you?

What?

I'm sorry if that offended you.

There are people like that, sometimes.

Really?

Or if you're here about doing business together,

I can introduce you to the person in charge.

I'm sorry but I don't have much time.
