#1. First meeting


-This work is fiction.


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

회사원들
Yes-

(Everyone leaves)


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

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


최승철
Oh? Really?


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

비 서
yes.

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

비 서
Other representatives really hate going there to create an image.


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


최승철
It's not a good thing either


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


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


최승철
I've been going several times

비 서
Ah.. yes..


최승철
Secretary Lee, why do you speak like that?

비 서
I'm just a little disappointed


최승철
what?

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

비 서
I think so


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

비 서
Because the representative is a warm person


최승철
I?

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

비 서
Please take good care of me

비 서
I felt sincere about every single thing


최승철
'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)

(Arriving at the foster care center)


최승철
(Volunteering)


최승철
Uh, can I just go to the bathroom?

관계자
Oh, yes!

관계자
It's there!


최승철
Oh, yes!


최승철
(On the way back)

여 주
(Woodadada)


최승철
Huh?!! Huh?!!

Kuung-!!!


최승철
Aah... sigh...


최승철
Student, what if you run here?

여 주
Uh..? Sorry..

여 주
I'm really... really... sorry...

여 주
You're not seriously hurt, are you?

여 주
Really... I'm sorry...

여 주
(crying face)

관계자
Huh? Where are you hurt, sir?

여 주
D..the CEO?

여 주
CEO Choi Seung-cheol..?

여 주
I'm sorry... I'm... really... sorry...


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


최승철
I'm okay, student


최승철
Is the student okay?

여 주
Yes.. I'm fine..


최승철
Is that hand hurting because of me? Student?

여 주
Oh.. no!


최승철
Then why are there so many scars on your hands?

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

여 주
You don't have to worry about it!

관계자
Lady, did you hurt the CEO?

여 주
...


최승철
No! Not like that!


최승철
Is the student's name Yeoju?

여 주
Ah.. yes..


최승철
Oh, what a pretty name


최승철
Who built it?

여 주
This is it!

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

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

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

관계자
Why? It's true, right?

여 주
Ahh~

관계자
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.

여 주
Oh, yes!

(After the female lead leaves)


최승철
But all the other kids are young


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

관계자
Oh, I'm 18 this year.

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

관계자
It's still here...

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


최승철
'That's how I first met you'


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


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

(The day I went to the childcare center)


최승철
Where is Yeoju?


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

여 주
Representative!!

여 주
hello!


최승철
Hello, heroine!!

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


최승철
Yeah... that's true, but why?

여 주
Well then, I have a question!

여 주
(showing notes)

여 주
Is this design better? Is that design better?


최승철
Did you draw this yourself?

여 주
Yes.. is it not that great?


최승철
No! It's so well drawn...


최승철
I think this design is better!

여 주
Ah! Then what material would be good?

여 주
Chiffon? Velvet?


최승철
Are you going to wear it?

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


최승철
I think chiffon would be better!


최승철
But did you buy the fabric too?

여 주
yes


최승철
What about money?

여 주
It's okay because I work part-time


최승철
Do you also work part-time?

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


최승철
Isn't it hard?

여 주
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.


최승철
Do you buy your siblings snacks too?

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


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

여 주
Haha ...

여 주
But can I ask your age, sir?


최승철
of course!


최승철
I'm 24 years old

여 주
yes?

여 주
24?

여 주
Huh?


최승철
Why? Am I a little old?

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


최승철
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.


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


최승철
It's not that different from what I thought.


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


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

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

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

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

관계자
The female protagonist cried a lot that day.

관계자
The friend who protected Yeoju was her younger brother.

관계자
We've been close since we were little.

관계자
Because the female protagonist is a person who gets sick easily

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

관계자
There is a reason why I say this.

관계자
if..

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

관계자
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...

관계자
I'm also close with the CEO

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

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


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

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

관계자
Is that not possible?
