DEPUTY DIRECTOR SEO GONG MYUNG, COUNCIL SECRETARIAT, APRIL 13, 2020

How come...

- What happened? - What happened?

- What happened? - What happened?

Who knows if you don't know?

I wouldn't know.

Why am I being sent to the council secretariat?

I would know even less.

Garden Tiger Moth Se Ra's now a district representative,

so I thought we at the service center could relax.

Why do you have to end up at the council secretariat?

What's wrong with the council secretariat?

The people there must serve the district representatives.

As if they're your masters.

Poor you. Shall I walk you over?

Shall I see you off?

I'm not a child.

No.

You've been lost for quite a while already.

Let's go.

Let's go, you big boy. This way.

- But... - Let's go.

Yeo Reum, it's time to eat.

Are you hungry? Are you?

MESSAGE FROM GOO SE RA

GOO SE RA

Yeo Reum, look. Who is this?

Look. Aunt Se Ra is here...

and she's here too.

Look.

OFFICE OF MAWON-GU DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE GOO SE RA

STATUS OF 8TH MAWON-GU DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES

DISTRICT L, GOO SE RA, LEE EUN TAE

INTO THE RING

It's me.

I was suddenly appointed to the council secretariat today.

Do you have something to do with this?

I don't know what you mean.

I have no rights in your personnel appointments.

Okay.

Min Jae.

Instead of preparing for meetings in the morning,

there's something you need to do now.

Man, who would have imagined?

From working part-time at the service center shortly...

to being nominated as the district representative? My gosh.

Of course I know Se Ra is diligent and kind.

But if you think of it that way...

If you think of it that way,

should I make my wife run for office too?

As a candidate who's raising several children.

Are you jealous?

I'm just saying.

I'm not jealous,

but Se Ra probably didn't know she'd get nominated either.

Sir, I knew I would get nominated.

Did you?

She heard you.

Se Ra,

I mean, Ms. Goo.

How much did you hear?

I was just explaining in detail...

what a diligent and kind person you are.

I think I picked up hearing that part.

Nice, how nice of you.

What are you doing?

Here you go.

SEOUL MAWON-GU DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE GOO SE RA

Do I have to sign an employment contract or something?

You're not a mere employee.

You're a district representative, Ms. Goo.

I think young kids use this type of term nowadays.

"Goo-goo, Goo-goo".

Goo-goo.

Was it 80, or 81?

What time do I have to get off work?

Well, it's not actually fixed.

They just go home after their meetings.

Then...

when do I receive my paycheck?

It's...

It's the 20th of each month.

It's the same for all of us.

Why don't you show her around the building?

Oh, someone...

Someone called earlier...

and said he'd come to show you around.

Who?

Hello.

District Representative...

Goo Se Ra.

The council secretariat is on the first floor,

and on the second floor are the chairperson's office,

vice chairperson's office, meeting room,

and district representatives' offices.

And the Main Chamber is on the third floor.

You've been there before, right?

Yes, as you know.

You know, this orientation you're doing right now.

You didn't volunteer to do this, did you?

Of course not.

Of course I knew you wouldn't have.

Someone probably ordered you to do it again.

What?

There are many people watching and listening.

Please be careful, Ms. Goo.

There's no one.

I don't see anyone.

There's no one, no one, no one.

No matter how much I think about it,

I can't understand how you were nominated.

What can't you understand?

It was the wise choice of the people of Mawon-gu.

And stop thinking of me that way.

I don't like it at all.

Is it this way?

You can use that desk.

Since this was a by-election,

your predecessor Mr. Yang will be appointed...

to the Welfare Construction Committee.

I'll call the secretariat...

and tell them to clear out Mr. Yang's things.

You should go and work.

Since you're so busy every day and all.

And since this is a workplace,

let's treat each other professionally.

"Hey."

Is not allowed in our dictionary. Okay?

Darn it!

How could my ex-boyfriend...

show me around on my first day at work?

What if we bump into each other every day?

Darn it.

MAWON-GU, YANG NAE SUNG

YANG NAE SUNG

Is this similar to starting work right away...

without receiving training from my predecessor?

I guess so.

Since you were appointed and all, we have no choice.

But we're baffled by this sudden appointment as well.

For now, you can work in the Secretariat Team.

You can learn while helping out Yong Gyu.

Your rank will be irrelevant to your work.

- Get to work. - Okay, thank you.

I better go to prepare for the meeting.

You have to go with me.

MAWON-GU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY, CURRENT ATTENDANCE

DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE GOO SE RA

If no one is opposed, this bill will be passed...

Wait.

Don't do it.

That jerk.

I wonder how surprised he was.

I guess he returned to the service center.

Shall I ask him if he can have lunch today?

Watch the threshold.

What is he doing here?

- You have to go around. - Okay.

- Stop looking at me. - Were you kicked out again?

Stop asking questions.

I wonder if our rookie will be okay.

Why?

You know, since it won't be easy...

to adapt to the other representatives.

You should keep that in mind.

Okay.

- Sir, you look great today. - Hi.

Thanks.

I'm here today.

- You made it today. - Yes.

You've been absent too many times. I'm watching you.

- Yes, sir. - My gosh.

Mr. Cho Maeng Duk.

A real estate magnate and third-term representative...

who grew up in the district.

He stepped down as the chairperson, but he still holds power.

He has influence over the chief.

You know the rice soup we had this afternoon?

- You know that restaurant? - They serve good cartilage soup...

- and suyuk. It's really good. - The pig stomach is good there.

- Carp and chicken soup and that. - Seriously. I should've gone there.

- Come on. - My gosh.

- Gosh. - Nice to see you.

Shim-Jang-Si.

These three representatives always move in a trio.

They survive here by pleasing Mr. Cho.

My goodness. Hello.

- Hello, Mr. Go. - My gosh.

- Hello. - Hi.

- My gosh. - It's been so long.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

- Gosh. - You look great now.

You guys look great too.

Vice Chairperson Go Dong Chan.

He took over the district after his dad.

He was born with a silver spoon.

He doesn't work at all,

but he only uses social media to do politics and gets paid.

Ms. Yoon. My gosh.
