Umm, Ja-sung.
Is there something wrong with your car?
You seem to be going so slow.
I want to take you home even slower.
Because I want to be with you longer.
Huh?
I wanted to ask you.
Can...
...I have instant noodles at your place?
Instant noodles?
Oh, umm.
I'm sorry if that was out of line.
I'm such a relationship newbie.
I searched on the internet
and learned that couples do this.
How about a drink instead?
Huh?
My mom cooked a lot of food before she left.
We can eat that as snacks.

He Is My Flower
I like that my life revolves around you...
I like that my life revolves around you.
I love you
I like that my life is wasted on you.
I hope everyone in the world will give up on you.
Then I'll be the only one holding you.
Monthly Magazine House #15 Building a House, Building Love
A House Built for Me, Narrow House
With the concept of "A House Built for Me,"
I will interview people
who've built their own houses.
Oh, sounds great.
You recruited the source?
Yes.
Okay.
Oh, it's the Digital Team.
- It's an important call. - Go ahead.
Hello, Mr. Park. Yes.
Let's review the material
until the Chief Editor returns.
Yes, sir.
Yes. Bye.
Oh, dear!
Then carry out with the advertorial as planned.
That will be all.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Here's this month's operating expenses statement.
Okay. Leave it there.
May I have a word with you?
Okay.
Sir,
what do you think about dating a coworker?
Huh?
What are you talking about?
I witnessed a couple dating at work.
What?
I just saw two people
be touchy-feely with each other
in the conference room.
How did you...?
I'm Choi Go!
I don't have much, but I have the sharpest eyes.
Oh.
I guess you do.
I had no idea you would notice it.
It's not appropriate during meetings,
but strong feelings are hard to control...
Those two...
We shouldn't let this slide.
Huh?
You noticed it too, sir?
About Editor Nam and Editor Yeo.
Oh, dear.
I actually knew a few days ago.
But I couldn't take it anymore seeing them
like that in the conference room.
They probably lost all reason
because of strong feelings for each other.
You said dating made life fun.
You strongly encouraged me to date.
I meant dating outside the office.
There's a sea of men and women out there.
Why date someone in this small office?
You demanded we keep personal issues
out of our professional lives many times!
Aren't I right?
I don't mind dating in the workplace.
As long as they do their jobs.
They won't be able to do their jobs!
You saw it, too, sir.
Let's mind our own business.
They'll handle it on their own.
What?
It's unlike you to be so lenient.
Do you feel lethargic about everything
because you feel no joy in life?
What?
The old you would've lost your temper
because they weren't focusing on their work.
Oh, dear.
You are so spiritless with no desire for life,
but those two are all lovey-dovey...
Come on, I'm not that spiritless...
Anyway!
Those two...
I'll make sure
they don't get on your nerve.
Okay... Sure...
Do what you want.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Hold on. Hold on.
We're almost here. Almost here.
- There you go. - Oh, I drank too much.
There.
Can you stay?
What?
Just for today.
Can you stay by my side?
No.
Not just today.
I want to stay by your side every day.
You really
are bad for my heart.
Yeo Ui-joo is my girlfriend?
Is this for real?
It's for real.
It's hard to believe, but I am your girlfriend.
Ui-joo.
Whoa! Stop. We're at work.
What if someone sees us?
Who will see us?
It's just us.
Stop it.
Huh? Oh, my. Hey!
Where have you two been during work hours?
Huh?
Oh, well, we...
What?
I helped Editor Nam find references for a story.
Yes, that's right.
Hmph.
All eyes on me!
I'm saying this out of concern.
If you're dating your coworker, don't let it show.
You know Kim and Choi from Digital Team.
They were happy, making this place a party house.
Then they split, making this place a funeral home.
They eventually quit.
That!
Is the end and reality of an open office romance.
Umm...
Maybe dating a coworker won't always end badly.
Maybe not.
Huh?
As long as you keep things professional.
So!
Don't be obvious about dating in the workplace.
Focus on work during office hours.
Okay?
Yeo Ui-joo! Nam Sang-soon!
Huh? What about me?
I will never do that.
Neither will I!
Really?
I'll be watching.
Like a hawk.
This is the item for next month's special article.
Thank you.
You know...
I think the Chief Editor knows about us.
What?
He told us to be discrete about office romance.
He threatened us.
I think it was a message for me.
It was meant for Editor Nam and Editor Yeo.
Who?
Those two are dating.
The Chief Editor got wind of it.
No way!
I also thought he suspected us at first.
Anyway, he's sharpening his sword right now.
This is why I said we shouldn't go public.
Let's be more careful.
Okay. I'll be more careful.
Wow.
Those two dating is a complete surprise.
Goodness! I had no idea.
I was shocked, too.
I think the Chief Editor knows about us.
I have a bad feeling.
No way. That can't be.
Don't let it show.
I don't want to be exposed for dating a coworker.
Don't worry.
I will be extra careful.
Okay.
Bon appetit!
CEO Yoo, who I respect.
Chief Editor, who I love.
Oh, thank you.
Editor Na, who always works hard.
Oh, me? Thank you.
And me, Editor Nam.
Everyone has a piece, right?
Enjoy!
You didn't give Ui-joo a piece.
What?
Oh, no!
I forgot about Editor Yeo.
This is what's wrong with you!
You have no presence.
What?
If you didn't get one, you should've spoken up!
Seriously!
Oh, well. There's one left.
Here.
Jeez.
Eat it or not. Whatever.
Sir.
You didn't give Young-won a piece.
This is what's wrong with you!
You have no presence.
Sir?
There's one left here.
Eat.
Editor Yeo's piece is huge, huh?
Some might say you were putting on an act
to give Editor Yeo the biggest piece.
Huh? Why would I?
There's no reason to dote over her.
What the?
You think there's a reason to dote over you?
See?
Editor Yeo and I are so incompatible.
Incompatible!
Sheesh.
- Ow! - Ow!
- Jeez! - Come on.
Move!
This is what's wrong with you!
You're blocking my way!
What gives?
That jerk and I are so incompatible!
Right?
Yes, of course.
Look at how they're making a fool of themselves.
Making a fool?
Yes!
They should think about how to do their jobs better.
But they're thinking about how to not get caught.
They're making such a fool of themselves.
Isn't that a bit harsh?
It's not harsh.
You're being odd, sir.
What do you mean?
You're so lenient about office romance.
It's not like you.
No way.
Is there someone in the office you secretly like?
What?
If not...
Are you already dating
someone in the office?
How can you say such an absurd thing?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Of course you wouldn't do that,
considering your past remarks.
Anyway, leave it to me
to supervise that cheeky couple.
I won't let you down.
They're going down.
Are you really alright?
About what?
About Ja-sung and Editor Na getting back together.
Does it really not affect you?
How can it not?
Right?
You're human. Not Buddha.
I like it. For real.
What?
Seeing them both so happy.
I like it.
Oh!
You must be Buddha.
Amitabha and the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion...
Assistant Yook Mi-ra
Remember I said I'll treat you to dinner?
When are you free?
It's really not necessary.
What?
Oh.
Mi-ra says she'll buy dinner. Want to come?
Are you crazy? Why would I go there?
I hate Mi-ra. I totally loathe her.
I can read character from a person's face.
You can?
She's a person you shouldn't get close to.
Tell me. You hate Mi-ra, too, right?
It's a relief you hate her, too.
I didn't say a word.
Anyway!
If you date women like Mi-ra because you feel lonely,
I won't see you.
Forever.
We'll no longer be friends, okay?
What the?
How was my acting?
Freaking awesome, right?
Yeah. I almost hit you.
Because I got so mad.
So don't worry so much.
There's no way we'll get caught.
With my Oscar-worthy acting,
how will people know...
I know, you fools.
- Wow! - Yikes!
I knew for some time now.
And the CEO!
Yes, yes.
Okay.
Promise in front of everyone
that you will be completely professional.
- I promise. - I promise.
Okay, good. That's enough...
No.
They still haven't come to their senses.
You stand back.
You two,
repeat after me.
From today, we will...
- What? - What?
Repeat after me!
From today! We will!
Chief Editor.
We didn't commit a huge crime.
Do we have to do this?
In front of the assistants?
From today!
We will!
- From today, we will... - From today, we will...
Never show we're dating!
- Never show we're dating. - Never show we're dating.
Too small. Louder!
We'll focus on work!
- We'll focus on work! - We'll focus on work!
This isn't the army. This isn't...
Sir!
You said you'll let me take care of this.
Please stand back.
You two!
You promised, okay?
I'll be watching.
As well as
the CEO. Okay?
Ui-joo.
Congratulations.
Oh, thanks.
Sorry I didn't tell you.
You were sad after the break-up.
It didn't feel right to be happy
so I couldn't tell you.
Oh.
I see.
But I'm...
So glad you broke up?
What?
You saw how the Chief Editor flipped out.
If CEO Yoo,
who stressed keeping things professional,
was caught dating you,
he wouldn't just flip out. He'd eat you alive.
Right?
Of course.
CEO Yoo would've become a total doormat.
Don't you think?
I guess...
Then I'll, uh, go, uh, cover my story.
Okay.
Wow, what a pretty house!
The owner designed it herself?
Yes.
Wow!
So this is what a narrow house looks like.
A house built on a narrow plot.
That's right.
Instead of a widely-stretched living space,
it's stacked up tall.
Let's go inside and sketch the place.
Okay.
Location: Seongbok-gu, Seoul
Lot area: 94㎡ Building area : 56.3㎡
Construction cost: KRW 240 mil. Price of lot: KRW 280 mil.
The basement is a study set up to the owner's taste.
The 1st floor is a bar where you can have a drink.
The 2nd floor is the kitchen and living room.
The 3rd floor is the bedroom.
The 4th floor is a balcony looking out to Mt. Bukhansan.
She gave each floor a distinct character.
How did you come to build your own house?
I have to live in Seoul because of work.
But I didn't have enough money to buy an apartment.
Doesn't building a house cost a lot?
That's why I built a narrow house.
With a deposit and a little loan, I could do it.
Wow.
But it wouldn't have been easy to actually do it.
You're amazing.
Thank you.
But anyone could do it.
There's such happiness in building
your own home and living in it.
I highly recommend others to do it.
I see.
Editor Na.
Should I take more photos of the exterior?
Editor Na?
Yes. Yes?
What are you thinking about?
Oh.
I was envious
of the owner who built this.
You can do it, too.
She said it's possible to build it with little capital.
I could've done it
if I hadn't lost my deposit then.
What?
The multiplex unit I lived in was put up for auction.
I was kicked out without getting my deposit back.
The landlady went off the grid.
Oh.
The Shinna Dining 10th Anniversary Special Event Couple's Dinner Voucher
Couple's dinner voucher?
Great.
Book
Your reservation for the couple dinner voucher is complete.
Okay, done.
Send as text message.
Secretary Hwang
I made a contract with the urgent sale in Hwayang-dong.
Print Printing in process...
Why is this...
Why is this printing...?
Wait...
Your reservation for the couple dinner voucher is complete.
Editor Nam.
How can you do this?
Do what?
What's this?
Feigning ignorance, I see.
You did this!
What? Me?
No, I didn't.
What do you mean?
You made a solid promise,
then you go and do this during work hours?
Stop.
What's all this ruckus?
You don't have to know.
I'll take care of it.
It'll only make you mad.
I said it wasn't me!
I made a promise in front of the CEO.
I'd be crazy to make a reservation during work hours.
Wow, you're shameless!
Who else would book an expensive couple's dinner?
The assistants with their puny salary?
The CEO who thinks dating is wasting money and time?
I'm sorry, sir.
I was going to take care of this...
I'm telling you, it's not me!
Darn it.
Oh! Here's the credit card number.
We can compare it to my credit card.
So that's how it's going to be?
Let's do this!
Okay, then. Let's do this.
Take out your credit card!
Take it out.
Stop!
There's no time to compare credit cards during work hours!
I'll let this one pass.
Be careful from now on.
Sir, I'm being falsely accused...
Enough! I said let's end it at this.
Sir, give that to me. I'll throw it away...
Oh, no.
It's too good to throw out.
I'll use it as scrap paper.
Be thankful the CEO left it at that.
It's because he's listless nowadays.
If he were his usual self, you'd be dead.
You punk.
Jeez.
Gaeryong Yoo Ja-sung!
How could you make such a mistake?
Phew.
I don't believe this.
I'm sorry, Editor Nam.
This is so wrong.
I had no other choice.
What would you like to eat?
Umm... I'll have hangover soup...
One hangover soup, please.
Okay.
Huh? That woman...
Why? Do you know her?
Hold on.
Excuse me.
Huh?
It's you.
You remember me, right?
Roseville! #203!
I don't know...
You have the wrong person.
Huh? Ma'am!
Stop!
Editor Na!
We'll come back later!
Ma'am!
Let's talk for a minute!
Ma'am!
Editor Na!
Ma'am!
Move, move, move, move!
I'm sorry!
Wait up.
Ma'am!
Why are you chasing me?
Why are you running away?
Unbelievable...
Are you alright? I'm sorry.
Ma'am...
Please. Give me back my security deposit.
Why are you doing this to me?
Don't you know I lost that building to the auction?
Of course I know.
But you own a lot of buildings.
That multiplex wasn't your entire fortune.
Jeez. Whatever.
Let's solve this legally.
You know, right?
I have no obligation to return your deposit.
Can't you still help me out?
It took me 10 years to save that money. It's all I had.
You're killing me.
So why book a restaurant during work hours
after being so humiliated?
That really wasn't me.
Come on.
You don't have to pretend with me.
But it really wasn't me.
It really wasn't?
Then I got excited for nothing.
What?
I really wanted to go to that restaurant.
I was surprised that you knew and booked it.
I thought we were truly a match made in heaven.
But I guess not.
Oh!
Surprise!
I got you!
Huh?
I actually did book it.
What do you think about my acting?
Oscar-worthy, right?
Oh, come on!
But I heard it's really expensive.
Is it okay?
Of course!
Money isn't the problem
when you're so happy like this.
Oh, come on!
You're so witty.
Are you not happy with the food?
What?
You hardly seem to be eating.
No.
It's delicious.
Just a sec.
Young-won!
- Huh? - Oh!
What are you doing here?
What are you two doing here?
We're on a date.
Who are you here with?
Huh?
Oh, I...
No way. Are you...
...On a blind date?
Huh?
Oh, yes!
Wow, I wonder what he's like!
I'll leave after I see him.
- What? - Oh, then me, too!
Can you two just mind your own business
and go on your date?
Okay.
After we see him.
Don't meet anyone who's like CE...
Huh?
Don't meet anyone who's like your ex.
Meet a proper guy.
Why? What was her ex like?
Don't get me started.
He was a selfish jerk.
A money-grubbing bastard!
Oh, so he was a total scumbag.
No, not so much...
If you're done, can I take your plates?
Oh, yes.
Why don't you two just
forget me and go on your date?
I'll just see what he looks like.
But what's taking so long?
He must be taking a dump.
He's taking too long.
He must have constipation.
I left. See you outside.
CEO Yoo Ja-sung
Oh, no.
He had urgent business and left.
I'll be going now, then.
Have a nice date.
Bye.
Looks like
she was rejected.
Obviously.
I had no idea those two would come here.
We almost got caught.
It's good we didn't.
Let's go somewhere else.
You need to get some dinner.
No, I...
Can we call it a night?
Huh?
I'm actually a little tired.
Oh, so that's why you hardly ate.
Let's go. Go and get some rest.
The food is great here!
I'm glad you like it.
But this is unusual.
You only went to cheap restaurants with cutie pie.
I brought you here because it's you.
You're so much more special than her.
Aw, shucks.
Here, have this.
I cut it all up for you.
Oh, my!
This is unbelievable.
Were you always this sweet?
Oh, well.
Cutie pie lost a huge jackpot!
Come on, stop talking about her.
Now, all I have is you, my Joo! Ui-joo Ui-joo!
Okay.
What shall we do after dinner?
Watch a movie?
No.
I have something else
I want to do.
What? Shopping?
No.
Not that.
Slowly, slowly.
Don't rush it. Don't rush it.
- Slowly, slowly. - Oh, okay. Slowly.
Jeez.
What's this?
So strong...
Is this for real?
You're unbelievable.
Cutie pie...
I love you.
Cutie pie.
What?
Huh?
Get out! I said get out!
I'm sorry!
Ui-joo Ui-joo!
Shut up!
Jeez.
Joo! Ui-joo Ui-joo! Hear me out.
Call me that one more time.
Then I'll ju-jitsu you to pieces.
You kept saying cutie pie...
Again?
I mean, you kept bringing her up,
so her name got stuck in my head
and it came out
reflectively before I realized.
Forget it. Let's break up.
It's over between us.
The end.
Okay?
Ui-joo...
Yeo Ui-joo!
She's so cold.
She could've given back a portion of your deposit.
No. She didn't say anything wrong.
I was ignorant. I'm the one to blame.
I'm so humiliated.
Can you pretend today didn't happen?
I'm leaving.
Mr. Shin Gyeom.
Can I go home now?
Huh?
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
What are you thinking about?
The security deposit.
She won't get it back, right?
What?
You're still thinking about that?
You're out of your mind.
Forget it.
Why are you concerned about that?
You said it was good seeing them happy.
Stop caring about Editor Na for real now.
Okay.
Cleaning is the best way to distract yourself.
- Hi. - Hello.
Here. Take this.
What is this?
I'm not sure.
A woman asked me to give this to you.
Some lady? Who?
I don't know.
Anyway, I've delivered it to you. Okay?
- Thank you. - Sure.
What could this be?
Cashier's check KRW 60 mil.
What's this?
I couldn't sleep because I felt guilty after meeting you. Please stop feeling sad, and make a fresh start.
You got your security deposit back?
I don't believe this!
That's great!
Right?
I felt so grateful
that I wanted to say thank you,
but there's no way to contact her.
You said you met her by chance at a restaurant.
Call them. You never know.
She might be a regular.
Oh!
You could be right.
Thank you, Ui-joo.
Don't thank me.
The heavens helped you because you're so kind.
Come on.
The heavens must've deserted me because I'm bad.
What are you talking about?
It's over.
What?
It's over between me and Editor Nam.
Why?
Never mind.
It's not worth talking about it.
Just know that it's over.
Shocking news!
Editor Na got her security deposit back
from her former landlady.
Oh. Really?
Yeah. Amazing, right?
I can see what will happen.
Editor Na's energy will soar through the roof.
Yeah, I bet she feels great.
She got the money and a letter.
Right!
Money and a letter...
Huh?
I didn't say anything about a letter.
What?
Whoa. I got goose bumps.
Was it you again?
What are you talking about?
I can see your panicked look right now.
It's not like that.
Hey.
Hey, Shin Gyeom!
You...
That fool.
I told him to stop caring.
What is he thinking?
Young-won, aren't you spending too much?
Oh, no. I got my security deposit back.
I should treat you.
Have as much as you want.
Okay.
Wow!
You know...
I'm going to
buy a place with that money.
Yeah?
If you get a bank loan on top of that,
you can buy the apartment you're living in...
No.
I'm going to build a house.
What?
I've been covering
narrow houses built by the homeowners.
It's possible with little capital,
and what's more,
customizing my house to fit my needs
is so appealing.
Really?
Take a look at this.
This is for future reference.
They're all splendid, right?
Yes, I guess they are.
But there's a saying.
You age ten years while building a house.
What?
It means it's really tough.
If you want to build a house yourself,
you need to know architecture like a professional.
You have to visit the construction site often.
That's not all.
Getting permits is very complicated.
Is that so?
She said anyone could do it.
What?
Who said that? She must not know that well.
Building your own house isn't an easy task.
It'll be too hard for you.
So...
You think I can't do it?
What?
It seems like you're saying that.
I should forget it since I'm not competent enough.
That's not it.
I don't want to see you suffer...
Forget it.
Just eat.
What happened to your nature man?
He'll do the interview as long as his face isn't exposed.
That's great.
Connect it with Editor Na's special article.
He built the hut he lives in, right?
If all goes well, it will be a truly fresh article.
Our thoughts on narrow houses were so...
I'm sorry. Please don't be mad, Young-won.
Who's texting during a meeting?
Who is it? Huh?
- It's you again, right? - What?
Oh, I...
Who were you texting?
The man of nature...
The man of nature has a phone?
Oh...
How dare you!
Give it.
Give it here. Stop resisting!
Look at this.
I'm sorry, Ui-joo. Please don't be mad.
Man of nature, my foot.
You sent it to your girlfriend.
I apologize.
Get it together. Huh?
Why fight and text during a meeting?
We didn't fight.
We're over.
We're not over.
We fought.
You want to fight me?
You want your office life to be over?
What tomfoolery is this in front of the CEO?
It's okay.
Let's continue with the meeting.
Jeez.
Thank the stars that CEO Yoo is your boss.
Stop scowling.
Why you...
Stop it.
Editor Yeo!
Don't show personal emotions during work hours!
This is why office romance can't work.
Editor Na Young-won
When will you confirm my special article, Sir?
Sir?
Not Ja-sung?
Sir?
She must be super angry.
What should I do?
Encountering Korea's Young One-person Households
Editor Na Young-won
Oh!
I'm sorry.
What I said was wrong.
Sir!
Don't you know how to knock?
Jeez.
Oh.
I forgot. I apologize.
What is it?
This is the fridge advertorial proposal we're working on.
Power Refrigerator Advertorial Proposal
Okay.
Wait, but...
Editor Nam Sang
Who is Nam Sang?
What? Nam...
Why I ought to...
Editor Nam is not in his right mind now.
I'm sorry. I'll make him correct it.
Goodness.
Stop.
Correct it later. I'll take a look at it first.
No, I'll have it corrected and give it to you later.
No, I said I'll take a look at it first.
No, I'll have it corrected...
- No, wait... - Huh?
What the...
I'm sorry. What I said was wrong.
I'm going to kill Editor Nam!
It really wasn't me.
You're not weaseling your way out of this!
It was stuck to your advertorial proposal.
But it wasn't me.
Then who else?
Who else here would have to apologize
after fighting with their girlfriend?
We didn't fight. We're over.
We're not over. We fought.
What?
But I really didn't write this note.
Why would I use honorifics to Editor Yeo?
You must've done something incredibly wrong
to have to resort to honorifics!
We didn't fight. We're over!
We're not over. We fought!
Why I ought to...!
But it really wasn't me!
Darn it!
Check the handwriting.
Yes!
We should compare the handwriting.
Ha!
Okay, then. Let's do it.
- Do it. - Okay, do it.
- Do it, do it, do it. - I don't believe you two.
There's no time for this during work hours.
Stop this idiocy and get back to work!
Sir!
I've been wrongfully accused.
I must check the handwriting and clear my name.
Give it to me.
- Wait... - Give it to me.
- Seriously... - Give it.
- Give it to me! - Come on!
- Huh? - Huh?
That's enough!
I was going to let it slide.
Why don't you know when to stop?
Do I have to yell at you like this?
Do I have to get mad?
I apologize.
Forget it!
Get back to work!
Young-won is already angry.
If people find out about us because of me...
I can't let that happen.
Then it'll be the end for me.
It wasn't me.
It really wasn't me.
Yes. I know it wasn't you.
Once again, I'm really sorry, Editor Nam.
I need this room. How long will you be here?
Editor Yeo...
I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
What are you doing?
I told you it's over between us.
Why did you do that and humiliate me as well?
I really didn't write the note.
Forget it. Cut...
Cutie pie might've accepted the apology but not you?
But it really wasn't me!
I was going to say cut the crap and save your breath.
I guess all you can think about is cutie pie.
No, that's not it...
Forget it!
It's really over between us.
But...
Please stop being mad, huh?
I'm not mad.
I know you're mad. I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking straight.
I said that because I didn't want you to suffer...
I said it's okay. Stop worrying about it.
If you keep doing this, we might get caught.
It's just us here. Who would know...
I know!
You two got back together?
Did you, Young-won?
Ui-joo...
So...
You weren't keeping things professional.
Yet we had to make
a humiliating promise in front of the assistants.
I'm sorry.
The restaurant reservation and note were all you.
Huh?
Oh, but Young-won didn't know.
It was all me.
I'm sorry.
Not knowing, I made Sang-soon spend so much money.
Not knowing,
I berated him about writing a note like a loser.
This situation is hilarious!
Wait. Why do you look so somber?
Is this funny only to me?
It's so funny.
You're smiling?
How can you smile?
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
My poor Sang-soon.
I feel so bad for him.
Jeez.
- Wait, Ui-joo! - Editor Yeo!
Sir!
I'm sorry.
I have no excuse.
Right... You said you need this room.
I'm done.
Hey, Nam Sang-soon.
I'm sorry.
For getting you in trouble because of me.
But that note...
I know. You didn't write it.
What? How do you know?
What's the use of knowing how I know?
Anyway, sorry.
I berated you when I didn't know the truth.
No.
No, no.
If you think about it, it's all my fault.
I'm insanely sorry.
And I will never make the same mistake again.
I promise.
Okay.
You promised.
Of course.
You're not mad anymore. Right?
Thank you, Ui-joo Ui-joo.
I will never speak about cutie pie...
This cursed mouth! Mouth! Mouth! Mouth!
I should hit that mouth.
With my mouth.
What?
Bring it in.
Oh, come on.
What if the CEO sees us?
It's okay. Trust me.
Bring it in.
But still...
Jeez...
Ui-joo Ui-joo!
You left your cell phone.
Oh, thank you, Sang-soon Sang-soon.
So?
You two made up?
You're being so obvious about it.
Did you not see the CEO get angry?
Is he a joke to you?
Stop.
That's enough.
Oh, sir.
You don't have to raise your voice.
I'll take care of this.
If you can't leave your emotions at the door...
Don't do that.
You heard him. Don't...
What?
Cough and love are things you can't hide.
They like each other. They're in love.
How can they not show it?
Hmph.
But it could disrupt the workplace...
That's another thing that can't be hidden.
Your close-mindedness.
What? Clo...close-minded?
Yes.
Dating coworkers and showing emotion aren't crimes.
It's the 4th industrial revolution era.
Nagging about that is close-minded.
How is the 4th industrial revolution relevant to office romance?
Enough.
As of now,
I, the CEO, give you permission to be obvious
about your office romance.
What?
I want a free and lovely workplace.
(Thank you.)
Hello?
I've got news.
Hey.
Editor Na went to meet her former landlady.
What?
She can't be reached. How?
She asked the restaurant to call her
if the landlady ever came again.
And they called.
She left to tell her thank you.
What?
Hey...
What are you doing?
Where do you think you're going?
To stop Editor Na from meeting her?
Because if she does, you'll get caught?
Let go.
Will you still say you didn't do it?
I said let go.
You don't need to go. I lied.
- What? - Hey.
If she were that easy to find,
Editor Na would've found her ages ago.
You bastard...
What are you playing at?
I want to ask the same question!
Pull yourself together!
Stop caring about Editor Na!
Why jump through hoops to give her that money?
What did you say?
Editor Na.
What did you just say?
It was Photographer Shin's money?
The security deposit?
Am I really that close-minded?
Am I?
Joo!
What do you want for dinner?
Let's have what you want, Soon.
Then how about pork rinds that you like?
I'll buy as an apology.
I'm sorry.
To celebrate us making up,
we're having a party.
I'm sorry.
Oh, okay.
Let's go, Joo.
Okay, Soon.
Sir! How about a drink?
To apologize for making a scene earlier...
I'm sorry. I have a previous engagement.
Mi-ra...
I also have a previous engagement.
I'm sorry.
Joo-hee...
I have to work overtime.
I'm lonely.
It's the 4th industrial revolution era.
But loneliness is still an unsolvable problem.
My carelessness led to Editor Yeo finding out about us.
I'm sorry.
You were already angry...
Yes.
I'm angry.
I won't feed you excuses.
Photographer Shin told me.
What?
Her former landlady?
Yes.
She ran into her while covering a story.
It didn't seem like she'd get her money back.
Editor Na blamed herself. She looked resigned.
Imagine how she must feel.
So that's why she looked so down.
I don't know about anyone else,
but I thought you should know.
Don't ever tell her that I gave this to you.
Okay?
I'm giving it back.
Why did you do it?
Because I know how you feel.
What?
- What do you... - I also...
...lost all the money I saved up once.
I was betrayed by someone I trusted.
It was the biggest ordeal and scar of my life.
I thought it was no use trying to make it.
The pain was unimaginable.
I wanted to die.
That kind of despair...
I didn't want you to carry that in your life.
But I guess I did an unnecessary thing.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
I am upset.
Not with you but with myself.
What?
You're sincerely concerned for me.
But I grumbled about such a trifle matter.
I'm upset with myself.
Young-won.
I'm the one that's sorry.
I made you walk on eggshells.
Oh, no. Don't say that.
Right now,
I'm a whole lot happier
than when I got the security deposit back.
Since you're by my side,
since you're so thoughtful toward me,
I'm so happy.
Right!
Is the new place okay?
Yes.
It is, but...
It was much better when I stayed at the office.
I could talk with you over a bottle of beer.
I loved that.
That wasn't much.
Even if it's a hollow compliment, thanks.
It's not a hollow compliment.
I like you.
What?
I said I like you.
Hey, Mi-ra. What's up?
Weren't you having dinner with Photographer Shin?
What? He rejected you?
I'm sorry. I can't go because I'm working.
Yeah. Sorry.
Oh, dear.
She hurt me and got hurt right back.
Serves her right.
You reap what you sow.
What goes around comes around.
What does that stare mean?
I can draw up two interpretations.
Petty old fool.
Narrow-minded loser.
No. A fool who still likes Mi-ra...
Don't say that
I like her or whatever.
- I don't! - What?
I'm going on a blind date tonight.
Bye.
He gave up on her already?
Why are you here alone?
Well.
I guess it's something you can't handle sober.
Don't be too upset.
Things don't work out in life.
It's not just you...
I wonder what kind of house you'll build.
I'm not going to.
Someone told me
that you age ten years while building a house.
I'll help you.
So you'll only age about...5 years?
Love is like building a house.
Just as you find a lot to build, you meet someone.
Just as you pile up bricks, you pile up memories.
Cheers!
Just as you beautifully decorate your house,
you tend to your love so that it shines.
Just like a well-built house with a strong foundation,
I hope our love will be forever.
Editor Nam Sang-soon
We're connecting our stories into one, right?
Take a look at the material on the man of nature.
Editor Nam Sang-soon
Hello? Editor Nam.
Where is this person right now?
Monthly Magazine House
A trip?
Let's forget the past pain
and have a great time.
What if we get married?
Seriously!
Marriage isn't such a bad thing...
My relationship with him...
I need to reconsider it.
Sang-soon, let's...
I know what you're going to say, but my answer's no.
Dad?
Want to see a picture?
Is this man's name
Yoo Ja-sung?
Huh? How do you know his name?
I'm sorry.
And thank you for everything.
