- Good morning - (Episode 21)
I came to greet Team 2 of our sales department.
Please, be comfortable. Sit down. Take a seat.
Sit down.
Based on this month's summary, I believe Team 2 is working really hard.
We compared wide-ranging aspects and you guys worked really hard.
Thank you, Mr. Suh.
Good job. I wish I could give you guys a day off as a reward.
That's okay.
It's Labor Day this Monday, so we'll have 3 whole days off if we include the weekend.
That's right! Monday is Labor's Day.
Okay, you guys can take the day off. I'll be at work that day.
I won't stop anyone from joining me.
What? Come to work on Labor's Day?
What's with your expression, Mr. Na? Did I tell you to come out?
I said I was working, me.
How come you don't understand?
If you're working, then we...
When did you ever care what I thought?
If you did, would your sales be where it is now?
But still. May is known as Family Month...
Yes, I guess you're a real family man, Mr. Na.
Yes, well...
How about you stay home all of the time?
- Excuse me? - Let me know if your job gets too tiring.
There's a line out the door with potential employees begging for employment.
It's not required for anyone to work on Labor's Day.
If you want to come out, then you can. If you'll excuse me.
- Good day. - Have a good day.
What in the world? In the end, he's demanding us to come to work.
I wish he'd change his repertory. How could it be the same as last year?
- He did that last year too? - Yep.
So, we all came to work. Except for Mr. Na.
Yes, I was the only one who expressed my beliefs.
Labor Day is an official holiday the government has made...
in order to boost work morale and compensate employees for their hard work.
According to research, 4 out of 10 employees still work during Labor Day.
Employees receive 1.5 times their salary since Labor Day is an official holiday.
- These pay rates... - That's right! We should follow the law!
Isn't this a constitutional country?
They don't even give you 1.5 times your pay, if you work.
Nope, I won't do it!
- Are you going to take Monday off? - Yep, I am.
I'm going to rest. Of course, I should.
Will you be okay?
You were the only one who took the day off last year and got hell for it.
It's different this time.
- I'll show them the rights for Labor Day. - Okay.
Should we go somewhere that day? There's a lot of festivals these days.
That's a bit...
Why not? You're getting 3 days off.
It's not really 3 days since I have an appointment with a buyer on Saturday.
If you want to go somewhere, go with your sisters and mom.
Forget it.
- What about you? - Go out, where?
- I can't go because of my kids. - Me neither.
- Insurance companies don't celebrate Labor's Day. - Really?
Let's go! I only have to dub one show on Monday morning.
- Let's go by ourselves. - Should we?
- Yep. - What about you, mom?
I'm a bit tired, so I would like to stay home on that day.
I'm not talking about today, it's next Monday.
It's fine. I don't want to go, so you guys can go on your own.
You're being suspicious, mom.
You wanted to go see flowers bloom in Spring. Why the sudden change?
What are you talking about?
What? What? Do you think... Maybe... I might have something else...
with someone else?
Do you have something else to do?
Oh my, mom! Amazing! Who are you dating?
You talked about some guy from upstairs with bananas. Is it him?
Really, mom? Are you dating these days? I'm so shocked.
No, there aren't any bananas here.
I've had enough of you girls!
If you're going to make a ruckus, go home! Go!
- What's going on? - Who is it? - Who?
- Tell us! - Do we know him? - Share!
Mayday! Does anyone know what this means?
What? No one?
I think it's a distress signal.
Whoa! Gong Yoon! Correct.
Yes, it's usually used as a distress signal.
- How did you know, Yoon? - From a game.
It's an airplane flying game.
That's right. Don't laugh, it's the correct answer.
It's mostly used as a distress signal within aviation.
Now, what is the difference between these two words?
Oh! Na Ik-hee.
The space.
Yes, that's right. There's a space.
Do you think the meanings are the same as well?
The first 'mayday' is used as a distress signal...
so 'may day' might be used when it's less of an emergency?
That could be, but nope.
What is it?
This May Day, is Labor's Day.
This May Day is for Labor's Day.
In 1886, the American work force...
went on mass strikes to demand an eight hour work day.
At the same time, there were many street marches.
We remember that day on May 1, also known as Labor Day.
Then we don't need to come to school on Monday?
Ik-hee, you're not part of the work force yet.
I was thinking about you, you should get some rest.
I'm perfectly fine, so please come to school.
I'm okay, you should take the day off.
Take the day off!
I appreciate it, but I'm a government employee so I can't take the day off.
So, you all need to come to school.
I thought public officials had it easy, but I guess not.
That's right, it's hard work for me too.
Therefore, I'll end class 5 minutes early!
That's it.
Attention. Salute.
- Thank you for your time. - Thank you for your time.
What are you thinking about?
Moonseo Middle School is using the weekend and holiday as a short vacation.
Isn't this unfair?
Other companies get Labor Day and also allow them to use vacation days.
- Which company? - L Beverages.
They're taking Labor Day and Buddha's Birthday off, so they have 5 days off.
Oh, L Beverages?
That's a major company.
- They have good employee compensation. - That's what I'm saying!
- I guess you can get hired there. - Geez, Mr. Choi!
What's there to do? They said we're busy getting ready for summer.
- What? Are you planning on coming? - I guess.
- No way! - What am I supposed to do?
- We have to protect our rights. - How?
We need to stand as a group if we want to fight against the executive board.
If we go about this separately, we'll all get killed. Let's move as a group.
This just feels like you want to die as a group.
Can't we leave it up to each individual's opinion on whether they want to be here?
Then all of you will be here without me!
- I'm not coming on Monday. - Why are you so courageous?
Mr. Suh said it was our choice if we wanted to be here.
Whoa. You believed him?
Mr. Suh held his grudge for a month last year.
- He kept a close eye on Mr. Na. - Really?
Why bring that up?
Ms. Ahn! You tell me first. Are you coming out on Monday?
I guess, since I have nothing else to do.
I'd like to paid extra.
They're not going to pay because you want it.
- Then, I'll report them to the Ministry of Labor... - Ms. Ahn.
Let's just come to work. What can we do, if they tell us to be here?
Are we slaves? Or servants, Mr. Park?
That's why we're called sachook. (employees who work like animals)
Mr. Choi, please become the light to our cause.
- Are you done explaining? - What's this?
- Did you already hear this, Mr. Choi? - Yep.
If that's what Mr. Na wants and everyone agrees, I'm in.
Of course. Now, comrades! We're all on the same boat!
Let's all steer towards a brighter future!
Are you listening to me?
To this song from angered laborers?
Do you hear our cries that we will no longer live like slaves?
Are you listening to me?
To this song from angered laborers?
Do you hear our cries that we will no longer live like slaves?
- Got it? - Why is this so hard?
Try it again. Hold it like this.
Bae Min-suh! Gong Yoon!
I was looking for you guys everywhere, but you were here without telling me?
- Didn't you tell Ik-hee? - I thought you told her.
I guess you two are best friends since you go to tutoring without me.
No way, you're my best friend.
- Are you upset? - Forget it.
Do you want me to teach you the drums, Ik-hee?
Now? After you taught Min-suh first?
What's wrong with you? You know it's not like that. Sit down.
That's right.
Now, try holding it.
That's right. This one too.
Put your left foot here.
And now...
Whoa! You're good.
It's really sunny.
They say the sun shines brighter for daughter-in-laws
during the fall and brighter for daughters during Spring.
Maybe because it's this bright?
It feels like Spring has passed and it's already Summer.
Has it?
Now that I'm older...
a season passes by in a blink of an eye.
That's true.
That's right. You haven't forgotten our date on Monday, have you?
Isn't it embarrassing for two old people to go to the movies?
I already bought the tickets so you can't flake out on me.
But, I was wondering. Why don't you give me bananas anymore?
I didn't get them since I thought you didn't like them.
- Are you sad I don't buy them for you? - Oh my!
Oh my goodness! Who said I was sad? No way! Oh my goodness!
No, I think you're upset with me.
Oh my. What's wrong with you? I just thought...
you weren't buying them, since you didn't need to woo me anymore.
Have I already wooed you?
Oh my! What are you talking about? Oh my goodness.
I should've never said anything. My goodness, Ill be going.
- Let's walk together! - Oh my goodness. How embarrassing.
Let's go together! Wait!
What are you doing Monday, Ms. Ahn?
I don't have any plans yet...
but I'm thinking of visiting my nephew.
Then you don't have any set plans yet?
Nope, not yet.
Do you remember telling me that you'd give a definite answer as well?
Oh, that.
I know what my answer will be...
but I also asked you to think it over as well.
You tell me first.
If I ask you for a date tomorrow...
that means I feel the same way about you.
But if I don't say anything tomorrow, then it means my feelings have changed.
- It looks like you changed your feelings. - Did it? It's a secret.
I'll get your answer after that.
Okay.
I've already...
made up my mind.
Write your name and sign it!
Mr. Na, what is it that you want me to sign?
A pact.
- What? - Why are you surprised?
I need proof that we're all aboard the same ship.
I want signatures stating that we won't come to work on Monday.
- Don't you trust me? - No, I don't. I trust everyone else, but you. Hurry!
Why not Mr. Choi? Why do I have to go first?
I was first to sign it.
Mr. Na, do we really have to go to these lengths?
It's to make sure we're in this together, so I'm asking for your cooperation.
You too, Kwi-nam. I know you won't break your promise, but let's make sure.
Sure.
(Pact)
- Do you have good news? - No.
- Why are you acting that way, dad? - Acting like what?
Eat. Let's eat.
- What are you so happy about? - Me?
Nothing much, just thinking about what I'll do on Monday.
- Do you have something planned? - It's a secret.
You're acting strange.
The research statistics from Team 1.
- Are you finished with the discounts? - I'm doing it now.
- Give it to Team 1 as soon as you're done. - Okay, okay.
Geez, it's getting hot. I wonder if there's anything refreshing.
I'll buy fresh juice. I'm taking orders!
I definitely think you have something good going on.
- I'd like a green grapes and kiwi juice. - One green grapes and kiwi.
Ms. Ahn?
- I'd like a tomato juice. - Tomato!
- What about you Tae-hee? - You're going to buy me one too?
I'll get the juice you're getting.
Just tell me what you'd like.
You should drink green grapes and kiwi. It's the most expensive.
No.
I'd like whatever you're drinking.
- Then I'll get whatever I get. - Okay.
Doremi Beverages, Team 2's Ms. Ahn speaking.
Hello, sir.
Already? Of course, I'm thankful.
I'll put your order in now, but I'd like to see you. When is it good for you?
Hold on.
Wow! She gets orders even when she's sitting here.
Ms. Ahn really seems like she's very capable.
As a fellow colleague, I admit she's very talented.
- Work and other things. - What other things?
Something like that.
Fresh juice delivery.
- Thank you, thank you. - Here you go.
- Where's Ms. Ahn? - She went to see sales promotion.
- Thank you for the juice. - You're welcome.
- Tae-hee, may I borrow a post-it? - Sure.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
May 1 at K Cinemas. At 1 o'clock.
I'll wait for you at the entrance of the theater. From: Kwi-nam.
I'm done, I'm done. It's perfect.
- Mr. Park, are you done with the research? - Yes, it's on Ms. Ahn's desk.
Thank you.
A bunch of flowers seem more appropriate than a bunch of bananas.
How embarrassing at this age. We're not children.
I'll take off after I meet my buyer.
Okay, have a good night, Ms. Ahn.
- Thank you for the juice. - You're welcome.
See you.
Let's go home. According Mr. Na, we'll see each other on Tuesday?
Yes!
If you guys betray me, I'll follow you until the ends of hell.
I can't do anything about it now.
We rented a pension house for 3 days. It's a vacation for the baby.
Good job!
Aren't you going home, Tae-hee? Why are you so busy?
It's because I still don't know a lot of things.
You can go ahead of me.
- You've been such a hard worker these days. - No way!
You're not coming work on Monday, are you?
No need to worry about that, Mr. Na.
I trust you guys! I'll see you Tuesday.
Let's go together, Mr. Choi! Keep your loyalty! All for one!
- I'm leaving too. - Have a good night.
Mr. Lee, if you're done with the research paper, may I see it as well?
Hold on please.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
It's good to see you working so hard.
I'll work even harder, Mr. Lee.
- I'll be going. - Okay, have a good night.
May 1 at K Cinemas. At 1 o'clock.
I'll wait for you at the entrance of the theater. From: Kwi-nam.
What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
Are you planning to go somewhere with your sisters and mom?
I think my mom has other plans and...
my sisters can't go since they have kids and work.
Really?
Then, do you want to go visit Seokchon Lake this weekend?
Why Seokchon Lake?
You know that large duck balloon?
- The yellow one. - Rubber duck? - Yes.
The artist who did that...
is doing something about a swan family.
- Sweet Swan? - Yeah, that's it!
Whoa! My daughter is so smart.
- Let's go see that. - Really?
I don't want to.
I see swans everyday, why would I want to see them again?
Where would you see swans?
Unemployed young females, that's who we call swans.
I guess, I'm not far from being one of those people.
I might be one of those girls within the next 10 years.
If you know that, can't you study a little harder?
Even good students don't get hired, these days.
And government employees have it rough too.
They can't even get Labor's Day off.
Honey, I think our daughter is really smart.
Whatever, she's not going.
Then, the two of us can see that swan or balloon.
- The two of us? - Why?
- You don't want to go with me? - No, it's not that.
Go. Let's go.
- I'm going to school, mom. - Okay, be careful around cars!
- Come home early! - Okay.
- I'm back. - Okay.
(The next day)
Lake, my butt.
I was dumb enough to believe you.
You were one with the sofa all day! Geez.
My body is aching. The whole day passed while I was sleeping.
You still have a chance. You have the day off tomorrow as well.
Should we go tomorrow?
Let's do that. Let's go tomorrow.
I'm watching you!
(Labor Day- May Day)
What kind of dream did you have last night, honey?
Nightmare.
I know, what kind of nightmare?
I was the only who didn't go to work. Getting fired and me being late.
Geez, you are such a chicken.
Why don't you just go to work?
No, we all promised we wouldn't go to work.
- Forget about it. - What if everyone went to work, except me?
- Call them. - No, I have to trust them.
Then trust them!
I really think there might be a traitor in our group.
- Just go. Go to work! - No!
We're all on the same boat.
You're lucky, dad.
- What? - You don't have to go to work today.
I'm not sure if this is good or not.
I start tutoring classes again.
Poor Ik-hee. I'm rooting for you.
Those kinds of encouragements should be made with $10 added to it.
Okay, I'll give it to you after breakfast.
Really? I'm rooting for you as well, dad!
Honey...
I'm so happy strolling with you in the park. Aren't you happy too?
Sure.
We should've done this before.
We haven't been able to see any flowers this Spring.
It's alright.
You have a flower here. No need to go look at other flowers.
Yes, you're right.
Oh my, why the long sigh?
Are you worried that you didn't go to work today, honey?
No, it's not that.
Spring is almost over, but maybe I still have Spring fever.
I guess. I feel the same as well.
I get sentimental suddenly and...
I've lost my appetite as well.
Oh my, look at that!
The trees still have some flowers left on it.
Seeing that tree, it makes me suddenly think of O. Henry's "The Last Leaf."
When all those flowers are gone...
will I still be a part of this world?
- Those flowers will fall, even when Summer isn't here yet? - Yeah.
So, let's make sure we come here every week...
until those flowers all fall off.
- Until all those flowers fall off? - Yes!
Take a seat here, honey. I'll go buy us some delicious coffee.
- No, no. I'll go buy it. - No, it's alright.
This is a special treat from me to you!
Honey?
Where did he go?
Honey?
Choi Seok-moon!
Mr. Lee!
What are you doing here?
You asked me to be here by 1 o'clock today.
- I did? - Yes.
It was on the post-it that was on the research paper you gave me.
Here.
Have a good night.
If I ask you out tomorrow...
that means my feelings haven't changed for you.
If I don't say anything tomorrow...
then my feelings have changed.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
I'm sorry, Tae-hee. Watch the movie and I'll see you at work tomorrow.
Mr. Lee!
- Hurry. Let's go! - I don't want to!
Hurry! Let's go!
- Get in! Hurry! - Hey!
I told you to get in the car!
Who do you think you are?
Are you okay?
Who is he and why is he trying to put you in his car?
Jung-min, who the hell is this guy?
Kwi-nam, this is my little brother.
- Are you okay? - I'm so sorry.
Are you hurt?
Ouch! My arm! My arm!
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
No, Mr. Suh! I was going to come to work but...
- Mr. Suh! Mr. Suh! - Oh my!
Are you going to keep this up?
I was the only one who didn't go to work again.
Go. Hurry up and get going.
I'm not actually going to work, I'm just going to go check.
I'm going to check who the traitors are.
That's what I thought. No one betrayed me.
That means, I can go back...
Who is this? Mr. Na!
I thought Team 2 was going to disrespect me as a whole, but I guess not.
Just as I thought, you have always been Team 2's ace.
Yes, that could be true but...
Results are important, but this is how you work in society.
I have a whole new opinion of you, Mr. Na.
Thank you, Mr. Suh.
But, are you off to see another buyer?
No.
- I'm returning from a buyer. - Oh, I see.
That's why you're here after lunch.
Good job.
I understand Mr. Choi, but the manager is here. What about the others?
There are a lot of problems with young employees these days. It's a problem.
I'm sure they all had situations they couldn't get out of, Mr. Suh.
You're even covering for them too?
You're a better man than I thought!
Work hard.
My goodness. You're working hard, aren't you?
This wasn't supposed to happen.
What am I going to tell them tomorrow?
Did you think I was getting kidnapped?
He was forcing you in when you didn't want to.
That's why you beat up my brother to protect me?
I didn't beat him up.
- It was so sudden. - He wanted me to go over to his house.
I didn't want to burden my sister-in-law.
You two don't look anything alike.
Is he your real brother?
- What if he's my ex-boyfriend? - What?
It's a joke. A joke.
But what brings you here, Kwi-nam?
I think you gave me your answer on Friday.
You said if you didn't ask me out, then your feelings have changed.
Well...
it's a bit complicated to explain.
Anyways, I still feel the same.
So...
I'd like to know your answer.
I...
really like the fact that I have a great junior colleague with your abilities.
You give me strength and confidence.
I don't want to lose that kind of junior colleague.
But...
instead of that perfect junior colleague...
I'm more inclined to know Lee Kwi-nam, himself.
Ms. Ahn.
No...
- Jung-min. - What did you say?
Jung-min! I'm going to call you by your name, since you're mine now.
And...
I'm not going to use honorifics with you anymore.
Okay.
But, let's keep it a secret for awhile.
Why?
I mean, what for?
I need to let someone know before we go public with it.
Just for one week. Okay?
Okay.
This is so funny!
I'm sorry, Tae-hee. Watch the movie and I'll see you tomorrow at work.
I didn't see him that way.
How could he do this?
Traitor!
- Traitor. - Traitor.
It wasn't like that. I only came to check up on everyone.
Instead, how about all of you guys come to work on Buddha's Day...
- and I won't come that day. - Mr. Na!
