Us at that time and in that era

"Are you going to do something like that, Ms. Han Yeo-ju?!"

Our time back then

A week later

Today is the day of the contest judging.

한여주

It's finally today.

박수영

(Nods) Yes. I was nervous, so I took some Cheongsimhwa today.

박수영

Aren't you nervous, Yeoju?

한여주

I'm nervous. But I did my best...

박수영

that's right.

박수영

If one of the two of us gets chosen, we have to treat each other to a meal.

한여주

Okay. Heh.

Seven employees gather to judge the contest entries, reviewing each one individually. Jimin is among them.

2 hours later

whispering

Whispering

As time passes, a few people start whispering.

박지민

?!!!

박수영

Ugh... I'm nervous... The results haven't come out yet, right?

한여주

Yes. Since there are many participants, wouldn't it take a few days?

stomp stomp-

"Director, you're here already? The review isn't over yet..." Team Leader

박지민

Where is Ms. Han Yeo-ju right now?

"Huh? Right now at my seat..." Team Leader

Jimin goes toward Yeoju's seat without even listening to the team leader's words.

widely-

Jimin threw the file he was holding onto Yeoju's desk.

한여주

?!!

Not only Yeoju but also the staff present were surprised by Jimin's behavior.

박지민

Ms. Han Yeo-ju!!

한여주

(Calm down) Yes.

"(Angry) Ms. Han Yeo-ju, are you going to do your job like this?!!"

한여주

What? What do you mean...

Yeoju spoke as if she couldn't understand Jimin's actions at all.

박지민

Do you think contests are child's play?!

한여주

yes..?

박지민

Are you trying to deny it now?

박지민

Then take a look. See how Ms. Han Yeo-ju submitted the materials...

As soon as Jimin finishes speaking, Yeoju opens her file.

한여주

?!!

It was clearly a file submitted by the female lead. Her name was written on the first page, and from the pages following that, there were writings that were unimaginable and unspeakable.

한여주

That's strange. I'm sure there wasn't this kind of data until this morning...

박지민

Are you still going to deny it?

This is Yeoju's doing. No, it's not. In this situation, that one word is the best response.

한여주

...sorry.

박지민

Right now, there is a huge fuss because the higher ups are saying that disciplinary action will be taken.

박지민

Please keep quiet until disciplinary action is taken.

한여주

Yes... I'm sorry.

Jimin hears the answer and leaves.

박수영

Yeoju, what on earth is going on?

한여주

I don't know either.

한여주

It was definitely the original until this morning... What should I do...

박수영

...

신하윤

lol

신하윤

Serves you right.

박지민

(Dry face wash) Haa~

30 minutes ago

The employees each speak only of themselves, and no one listens to them. However, there was something in common among these stories.

"What on earth was this employee thinking doing this...?!"

"This is an insult to our company!!"

"We need to call this employee immediately."

After seeing the file submitted by the female lead, the people there started saying all sorts of things, like whether they should hold a disciplinary hearing or fire her.

박지민

...

박상철•지민 아빠

Now! Now! Calm down.

The noisy conference room fell silent at Sang-cheol's words.

박상철•지민 아빠

This employee probably has their own reasons, too. So let's be understanding with an open mind.

The conference room, which had been filled with criticism, was unanimously praised by Sang-cheol at his words, with everyone saying, "As expected of our CEO," and "We need to have a big heart like him." However, there were others besides him.

박지민

(Crumpled) That's disgusting.

After the employees left.

박상철•지민 아빠

Provocation) This is the right woman.

박지민

Pause-

박상철•지민 아빠

Your girlfriend from 4 years ago. lol

박지민

... Well, I don't remember.

박상철•지민 아빠

How can you not remember? You're my first love.

박상철•지민 아빠

I never lose my first love. Me too, Eun-hye...

widely-

박지민

Don't talk about mom here.

박지민

Leaving-)

박상철•지민 아빠

This looks like it's going to be pretty fun... lol

I knew it instantly the moment I saw Yeoju's expression earlier. That she hadn't written it. But I was so angry that everything turned into a complete mess.

박지민

(Muttering) I'm going crazy...

Behind the scenes

This morning

한여주

(Completed printing for the contest) Done. Now I just need to go submit it and it's over.

"Ms. Yeoju, please help me with this."

한여주

yes.

Place the file on the desk and go to where the employee called.

신하윤

Looking around ×2) ...

Hayun approaches Yeoju's seat and carefully swaps the contest file.

박수영

(Suddenly) What are you doing, Assistant Manager Shin?

신하윤

(Surprise) No, it's not..

박수영

(Seeing the file in Hayun's hand)

신하윤

Look at this.

Hayun sneaks out.

박수영

(Award) Is it strange?

한여주

(Comes over to the seat) Suyeong, what are you doing here?

박수영

(Shakes head) No, it's not.

한여주

I'm going to submit a contest entry.

박수영

(Nods) Yes.

신하윤

Phew~ I almost got caught...

Throws the female protagonist's file into the trash can next to it.

신하윤

Just you wait. I'll bring down Han Yeo-ju.

There are many questions about when we will reunite, and it is scheduled to be released soon.

You will probably be able to see them being all lovey-dovey in the next episode after the contest story ends.

I will do my best to write the contest story as soon as possible.
