-This work is fiction.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Okay, then we'll end today's meeting here.

ํšŒ์‚ฌ์›๋“ค

Yes-

(Everyone leaves)

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

What's on the schedule after today's meeting?

๋น„ ์„œ

There is an event at the foster care center at 2pm today.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Oh? Really?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

It's 1:30, so let's move quickly, Secretary Lee.

๋น„ ์„œ

yes.

๋น„ ์„œ

But, sir, you don't mind going to the childcare center?

๋น„ ์„œ

Other representatives really hate going there to create an image.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

It's not that I don't like going there

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

It's not a good thing either

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I'm just going to literally carve an image, you know.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

The image will improve after you go there a few times.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I've been going several times

๋น„ ์„œ

Ah.. yes..

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Secretary Lee, why do you speak like that?

๋น„ ์„œ

I'm just a little disappointed

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

what?

๋น„ ์„œ

I thought the CEO wouldn't think that way at least.

๋น„ ์„œ

I think so

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

But why did you think I didn't think like this at least?

๋น„ ์„œ

Because the representative is a warm person

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I?

๋น„ ์„œ

When I first met you, I thought you'd be cold like other CEOs.

๋น„ ์„œ

Please take good care of me

๋น„ ์„œ

I felt sincere about every single thing

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'Until now, I didn't believe Secretary Lee's words. Perhaps it was because I considered myself a cold person.'

(I didn't have a background that fit the situation, so I used Seungcheol's photo)

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Uh, can I just go to the bathroom?

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Oh, yes!

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

It's there!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Oh, yes!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Huh?!! Huh?!!

Kuung-!!!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Aah... sigh...

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Student, what if you run here?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Uh..? Sorry..

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

I'm really... really... sorry...

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

You're not seriously hurt, are you?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Really... I'm sorry...

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

(crying face)

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Huh? Where are you hurt, sir?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

D..the CEO?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

CEO Choi Seung-cheol..?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

I'm sorry... I'm... really... sorry...

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

It's nothing special, but why do you look like you're going to cry at any moment?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I'm okay, student

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Is the student okay?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Yes.. I'm fine..

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Is that hand hurting because of me? Student?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Oh.. no!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Then why are there so many scars on your hands?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Ah.. I studied fashion and made clothes, so I got hurt a bit.

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

You don't have to worry about it!

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Lady, did you hurt the CEO?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

...

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

No! Not like that!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Is the student's name Yeoju?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Ah.. yes..

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Oh, what a pretty name

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Who built it?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

This is it!

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

I gave it to you, isn't it a pretty name?

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

They named her Yeoju to live like her, and just like her name, she's pretty and good at studying.

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

If you praise me like that... I'm embarrassed, teacher...

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Why? It's true, right?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Ahh~

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Ah! Yeoju, could you go over there and look after Dong-han for a bit? He was crying earlier... But I heard a loud noise here and ran over so I didn't get to take care of him.

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Oh, yes!

(After the female lead leaves)

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

But all the other kids are young

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

The female lead seems a bit older. How old is she?

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Oh, I'm 18 this year.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

For those of you who want to take Yeoju, is your timing bad? Something comes up when you try to take her.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

It's still here...

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

I'm old enough to go out now, but I'm worried...

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'That's how I first met you'

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'I thought of you every single day like that.'

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'I was looking forward to the day I went to the foster care center.'

(The day I went to the childcare center)

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Where is Yeoju?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'I'll find you as soon as I get there'

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Representative!!

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

hello!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Hello, heroine!!

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Sir! You said you were very knowledgeable about fashion, right?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Yeah... that's true, but why?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Well then, I have a question!

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

(showing notes)

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Is this design better? Is that design better?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Did you draw this yourself?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Yes.. is it not that great?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

No! It's so well drawn...

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I think this design is better!

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Ah! Then what material would be good?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Chiffon? Velvet?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Are you going to wear it?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

No! I'm going to give it to my younger sibling! She's 15 now... Would chiffon be better for a more innocent look?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I think chiffon would be better!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

But did you buy the fabric too?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

yes

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

What about money?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

It's okay because I work part-time

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Do you also work part-time?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Yes! I go to school and then work part-time!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Isn't it hard?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

It's hard, but I have to make money so I can do what I want, make clothes, and buy snacks for my younger siblings.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Do you buy your siblings snacks too?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

They come out here too, but they're all quite grown up, so I'll buy them more!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

You're not the only one who's growing up, are you? LOL

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Haha ...

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

But can I ask your age, sir?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

of course!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

I'm 24 years old

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

yes?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

24?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

Huh?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Why? Am I a little old?

์—ฌ ์ฃผ

No, I find it surprising that you are a CEO at 24 years old.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Oh, I was interested in my father's work since I was young, so he introduced me to social work at a young age, and I became a CEO at a relatively young age.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

Oh, so the age difference between you and me is... 6 years!

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

It's not that different from what I thought.

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'As you learned about me and I learned about you and what you liked, I saw myself becoming closer to you.'

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

'Then I heard about your concerns from the person in charge of the childcare center.'

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

The female protagonists are getting older one by one, but there is no one to take them in.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Yeoju, you should leave here now and go live somewhere happy.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

This time, a 15-year-old friend of mine who was close to Yeoju was adopted to the United States.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

The female protagonist cried a lot that day.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

The friend who protected Yeoju was her younger brother.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

We've been close since we were little.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Because the female protagonist is a person who gets sick easily

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

That friend was always by Yeoju's side whenever she was sick.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

There is a reason why I say this.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

if..

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Yeoju, can you raise me until I become an adult?

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Actually, we don't have enough ability, so it's hard to keep Yeoju in a foster home. So, Yeoju needs to go to a foster home far away... or someone needs to adopt her...

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

I'm also close with the CEO

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

I hope the representative will protect our female protagonist just a little bit.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

I know you can't do it, but could you please grant me a favor just this once?

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ  image

์ตœ์Šน์ฒ 

So what happens to the female lead after she becomes an adult?

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Ah... The female protagonist has become an adult, so we need to help her become independent.

๊ด€๊ณ„์ž

Is that not possible?
