The Interest of Love (사랑의 이해)

THE INTEREST OF LOVE

PARCEL

POST OFFICE

Did you send us money again?

Goodness. Why did you send so much?

You need money to eat too.

Dad, you've heard of KCU Bank, right?

Yes, I got a job there.

I'm also moving out of the tiny studio and into a really nice place.

It's better than the studio because it's got everything.

Of course.

It comes with a gas stove and a refrigerator.

It's fully furnished.

Dad, on top of that,

the view is amazing here.

You really need to see this too.

Come on. I'm doing fine. There's no need to worry.

EPISODE 5

JEONG JONG-HYEON

You're the new guy, right?

-Hello. -Nice to meet you.

-I'm Jeong Jong-hyeon. -I'm Ma Du-sik.

Are you an aspiring actor?

No, I'm studying to become a police officer.

An aspiring civil servant then.

-Hello. -Hello.

Mr. Ma.

I have bad heartburn. Get me some medicine.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jeong, why don't you go instead?

-Sure, I'll-- -Don't go.

There's a hangover cure on the second shelf in the locker room.

-Oh, that? -Yes.

Is that what's on the shelf?

You must be the new security guard.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Ahn Su-yeong.

I'm Jeong Jong-hyeon.

SOJU

Do you live around here?

Hello.

I live nearby too. Up there.

Goodbye, then.

About that client who made a scene today…

The crosswalk light will change to red whenever they try to cross the road.

Sorry?

It's frustrating to see the light change from green to red

right before you're about to cross.

And they'll always miss the bus by a hair.

And spill red tteokbokki sauce on their white outfit.

And another thing.

The exchange rate will drop as soon as they exchange money.

Right, people get really frustrated when that happens

even though it doesn't make a big difference.

THE INTEREST OF LOVE

JEONG JONG-HYEON

Let me… ask you a question too.

If I…

If I had kept my promise…

that day at the hotel…

would you have dated me?

Actually…

I…

Hey, Sang-su!

Let's have a smoke.

Are you close to Ms. Ahn?

Can you set him up with her?

He wants to start dating.

It's just that I'd like to have one last exciting romance before I get married.

I'm a pretty decent catch, no?

What is it? Is she seeing someone?

Really? Is she seeing someone?

Hello?

Hi, Jong-hyeon.

No, it's okay.

I had dinner.

What is it? Is she seeing someone?

JEONG JONG-HYEON

I've lost my mind. What am I doing?

KCU BANK

Why did you just go back in yesterday?

I saw you on the phone.

-So-- -About yesterday.

I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.

I didn't feel uncomfortable.

Do you want to meet tonight for a bit?

Let's talk after we're done for the day.

Okay.

SANG-SU

Sang-su, call me when you see this message.

Is that your lunch?

I think it's expired.

It expired yesterday, so it should be fine.

You were like that in college too.

You're still the same.

Why do you keep speaking so formally?

I did?

Do I make you uncomfortable?

Talk comfortably. I don't want things to be awkward.

Hey.

Sang-su, I didn't know you were here.

Hey. Yes.

You didn't answer my calls when you were there.

Sorry, I ended up grabbing a drink afterward.

It must've been fun.

Those sessions are all the same. Why? Did something happen?

Hyeon-a and Hyeong-su from college are getting married.

You heard, right?

-Yes. -Let's go there together.

Hi, Su-yeong.

Hello.

-Let's go to the wedding. -Okay.

Su-yeong.

Sang-su seems weird, right?

I'm not sure.

It's because of me.

I told him that I liked him.

He probably feels awkward. He's so bad at lying.

So are you two dating now?

Not yet.

Knowing him, he's going to think about it a lot.

It's really difficult to date at work.

But I think I might have a chance.

Sang-su, drink this.

Right. Thank you.

Can you show me the files that we talked about?

-Here they are. -I see.

-All the information is here… -I see.

The total is 123,780 won.

What? That can't be right.

When I counted it at home, it was 125,780 won.

Would you like me to count it again then?

No, just give it to me.

My wife is alone at home. Her dementia has gotten worse.

I feel really anxious when she's alone.

I see. Then please take this.

People who need help can use this device to make emergency calls.

There's a GPS tracker inside, so…

You can find out where your wife is,

and if she calls for help, you'll be notified immediately.

-I've never heard of this. -We provide it for free.

I could help connect it to your phone if you'd like.

The balance is correct.

Okay, let's call it a day.

-Good work. -Great day.

-Great work today. -Great day.

Ms. Ahn.

Come with me to meet Punggyeong Products.

Right now, sir?

You couldn't come while you worked the PB shift.

You're back at your post, so you should come.

Okay, sir.

Then get changed and come downstairs.

-Goodnight, sir. -Keep up the good work.

We'll have to meet next time.

It's okay.

Here, let me take that.

-Thank you. -Good job today.

Look at that. Why does he always take Ms. Ahn with him?

Is there something going on?

Of course not. What could possibly go on with them?

Did she look happy to go with him?

She could've just said no, then.

That's our Ms. Bae. You can tell that she grew up sheltered.

You don't know how command and discipline work, do you?

-I'm heading out. -Goodbye.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Well, what Ms. Bae said isn't wrong.

Ms. Ahn probably gets something in return for going.

If you're not going to help her, then at least stop badmouthing her.

It only hurts the victim.

You're acting as if you're Ms. Ahn's mother.

-You're so protective of her. -I'm leaving.

Hey, wait up. Let's leave together.

I thought you had plans.

They got canceled. I'll join you.

-Okay. -Let's go.

Here you go.

We'll continue to support you in every way we can.

I can't do business alone in this day and age.

I've come this far because I have a trustworthy partner.

I see.

I checked your account earlier,

and you have some funds that will mature in a few weeks.

May I suggest a good product before they mature?

We recently put together a product for VIPs…

I thought this was a casual dinner.

Gosh, of course.

It's just that Ms. Ahn is very dedicated to her job.

Goodness. Allow me to pour you a drink.

Bank clerks are too business-oriented.

They only talk about what they want in any given situation.

Business dealings stem from personal relationships, you know.

I'm not like that, sir.

I can see disapproval written all over her face.

She has a long way to go, and she has a lot to learn.

Young people these days are different than us.

-What? -What?

I'm getting married. The parents are meeting this month.

Is it a shotgun wedding?
