Sir, can I kiss you?

03_Sir, please leave early.

이여주

Hey, mister, why aren't you coming?

I was waiting for my uncle at home. He didn't show up, so I ate dinner first. We always ate together...

이여주 image

이여주

Should I make a phone call?

I was so worried that I called my uncle.

Rrrrr-

Thump-

이여주 image

이여주

What, hang up..?

이여주 image

이여주

Please at least send me a text...

I waited for the old man for a long time and then fell asleep.

이여주 image

이여주

Hmm...

I woke up on the sofa, having fallen asleep in the living room, with a blanket over me.

이여주 image

이여주

Ha, really, what time did you get home...

이여주 image

이여주

By the way, what time is it now?

07:40 PM

이여주 image

이여주

7:40..?!

(+Yeoju school starts at 8 o'clock.)

I realized that if I stayed still I would be late, so I quickly got ready and ran to school.

이여주 image

이여주

Haa, ha... I'm not late, am I..?

전정국 image

전정국

What a pity, we arrived at exactly 8 o'clock.

이여주 image

이여주

Phew... I survived.

김태형 image

김태형

Oh, the teacher isn't coming to first period today.

이여주 image

이여주

why..?

김태형 image

김태형

I heard you're having a meeting?

이여주 image

이여주

Wow, I love it...

이여주 image

이여주

It's so nice not having class... but it's annoying.

전정국 image

전정국

Suddenly? Why?

이여주 image

이여주

The old man came home too late.

이여주 image

이여주

I waited until 1 o'clock and he still didn't come... This is so annoying. What am I going to say after waiting today? Or just come to the company.

김태형 image

김태형

Oh man, this is really hopeless.

After school, I came to the company where my uncle works.

Ha, let's go in.

이여주 image

이여주

Chairman Min Yoongi, where are you now?

직원1

Chairman Min Yoongi, have you finished work?

이여주 image

이여주

Yes? Then what time did you get off work yesterday?

직원1

Mr. Chairman, you left work at this time yesterday too.

Sir, then why did you come home so late?

이여주 image

이여주

Oh, thank you. I'll have to call...

Rrrrr-

민윤기 image

민윤기

-hello?

이여주 image

이여주

-Where are you now, sir?

민윤기 image

민윤기

-I'm at work now.

이여주 image

이여주

-Sir, don't lie. I left work early.

민윤기 image

민윤기

-What are you talking about? I'm working at the company right now.

이여주 image

이여주

-I'm at your company right now.

민윤기 image

민윤기

-What, heroine, why are you here?

이여주 image

이여주

-Okay.

I hung up the phone and went home.

이여주 image

이여주

Just try to come late again this time...

That evening

I was waiting for the old man, as always. But he still hadn't come. It was now 3:00 AM.

이여주 image

이여주

Hey, are you late again?

I wonder if I've been waiting. The front door opened and the old man came in.

민윤기 image

민윤기

Ha, the female protagonist will sleep, right?

이여주 image

이여주

mister.

민윤기 image

민윤기

What, you're still not asleep..?

이여주 image

이여주

The old man came home late yesterday too. So I waited.

이여주 image

이여주

Honestly, shouldn't you have texted me? Why do you worry people by hanging up on them, not texting them, and coming home late?

민윤기 image

민윤기

Sorry...

이여주 image

이여주

And, your clothes smell like women's perfume. Where did you come from and what did you do?

민윤기 image

민윤기

That's... because of the real thing...

이여주 image

이여주

I know you left work early, but if you keep saying it's because of work, how can I believe you? Even if what you say is true, is it right for me to believe you in this situation?

민윤기 image

민윤기

So you don't trust me?

이여주 image

이여주

No, when have I ever distrusted you? Common sense dictates that if you're late, you should call or text. But if you come home late and you smell like women's perfume, am I supposed to trust you?

민윤기 image

민윤기

It's my fault for not contacting you, but what if you think I'm cheating on you because I came home late?

이여주 image

이여주

Then what should I think? I know you're busy. Then I should just call you if you come home late. And you said you got off work, but you came home late and even came home smelling like women's cologne.

이여주 image

이여주

Isn't this something I could misunderstand? If you came home from work, you could just tell me what happened. Is this my fault?

이여주 image

이여주

I'm just telling you to come home a little earlier. If you're out hanging out with friends, just tell me. What do you think I'm going to say if I stay up late hanging out with my friend?

민윤기 image

민윤기

no...

이여주 image

이여주

But why do people come home so late and make me feel anxious? Wouldn't it be different if they just answered the phone? I like you, I love you. If you come home late and smell like women's perfume, wouldn't I feel anxious?

민윤기 image

민윤기

Sorry... I'll call you next time if I'm going to be late.

이여주 image

이여주

So what were you doing that made you late?

민윤기 image

민윤기

I was hanging out with my friends... because today is our class reunion...

이여주 image

이여주

Yesterday.

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yesterday, the company I'm currently dealing with was embezzling money, so I had to resolve that...

이여주 image

이여주

Sir, I can't do that.

민윤기 image

민윤기

uh..?

이여주 image

이여주

Sir, the curfew is until 12 o'clock.

민윤기 image

민윤기

Ah... 12 o'clock...

이여주 image

이여주

No. Until 12 o'clock. If I'm late, I'll find a studio apartment and live separately from you.

이여주 image

이여주

"Seriously, sir, you should go home early."
