01x11 - Disaster

[bunniefuu]

THE POTATO LAB

Did you really do that to me?

Yes.

I just want to say this.

I'm so…

so sorry--

MY BELOVED PRINCESS

Can you forgive me now?

This was the biggest one I could find.

You can tell me anything at any time.

EPISODE 11
DISASTER

Fried chicken in the morning is the best

Fried chicken, fried chicken…

Jeez!

Why do you look like that?

You don't look human.

You're like some seaweed
that washed up on the beach

and dried out in the sun.

Do you have concealer?

Concealer couldn't fix you…

Yes, I do.

Try using the stick concealer
under the cushion foundation.

Good morning.

Mi-kyung.

Welcome, Ms. Kim.

-We're here to cater…
-To your every need.

This way, please.

What's going on?

We stole this
from Production this morning.

A brand-new chair.

Excuse me.

Hey! Come on.

-Hee-dong.
-Yes.

Pine needle tea.
It's great for stress relief.

I made it iced, just how you like it.

What is this? It's so annoying.

Did somebody poison the water cooler?

Why are they doing this?

Why do you think?

They became sworn brothers
so they could devote themselves

to serving you until you leave.

Gosh.

MK.

This is peppermint oil.

I know you tend to get angry

more often than others.
Every time that happens,

rub this behind your ears--

Knock it off!

Come on, guys.

Why do you think
I held off on telling you?

I knew you would overreact like this.

-So, I…
-Mr. Bu.

What?

That's not for me, is it?

What? No.

Of course not.

You know, this is for…

Ms. Jang.

I got this for our very own
Ms. Jang Seul-gi.

You've been working so hard lately.

-I have?
-Yes.

HOW TO START A BUSINESS

Is this the first thing you do at work?
"How to start a business"?

Ms. Jang.

Make sure you take this and live
a long, if somewhat unhealthy, life.

Okay.

Ms. Kim, can I have
a word with you outside?

Sure.

Go on.

Your belt is shedding glitter.

Jeez.

Dismissed!

-Here.
-Thank you.

No problem.

Ms. Kim, I wanted to ask you.

Do you speak any Vietnamese?

Vietnamese?

I know a couple of words.

Bun cha and banh mi.

-Why do you ask?
-It's nothing, really.

One of my friends
is going to Vietnam to study potatoes,

and there's a job opening there.

For a potato researcher?

Yes.

I tried my best to find something,
but that's all I got.

They're leaving in two weeks.

If you start preparing now,
you could make it.

I can't just disappear.

It's busiest right after the harvest.

Are you seriously worrying
about this place right now?

You need to think about your next step.

Anyway, I swore on my life as a researcher

that you're more than capable.

Living abroad might be difficult,

but apparently there are
a few more Koreans at the lab,

and you can keep working with potatoes.

Think about it.

I just did.

What?

-I don't want to go.
-Oh dear.

I'm going to see how the harvest goes,
take a look around the storage facilities,

and double-check the farm contracts.
I have too much to do.

The rest of us can do all of that.

The time I have left at the lab

is precious to me.

I don't want to get distracted
and waste it.

I'll do whatever I can until the end

and enter unemployment with dignity.

You're honest to a fault,
which sometimes makes you foolish.

I know. Why am I such a silly goose?

All right.

I get it.

Thank you, Mr. Bu.

For looking out for me.

Who says I'm looking out for you?

I was trying to get paid
to introduce you.

You just had to ruin that.

We worked hard on it.

Enjoy your lunch.

You too.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Right?

I'm worried.

I have so many things to worry about.

Hey, Chief! Chief So!

My goodness.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Good for who, exactly?

We’ve already heard the terrible news!

What news? What's going on?

Seriously, you still don't know?

Our very own Ms. Kim Mi-kyung
is leaving the lab.

Our handsome Chief here

fired her.

I thought you were engaged.

How could you fire your fiancée?

There seems to be a misunderstanding. We--

However I look at it,
that’s poor judgment on your part.

Our lab would fall apart without Ms. Kim.

From the Research Team
to the Production Team and the Work Team,

Ms. Kim is involved in all of them.

Here's something you might have missed.

Ms. Kim

is someone who could take a glass of water
and turn it into Hangang River.

So if I had to choose,
Ms. Kim should keep working

and you should stay home.

That's more reasonable!

Am I right?

I'm telling you once again--

Yes, that would be better!

You have the perfect build
for washing dishes.

-Right, Chief?
-Yes!

Wait a second.

So Ms. Kim is getting fired,

but the wedding's still on?

-Of course it is.
-Please stop!

Let me be very clear.

Ms. Kim and I are not planning
on getting married.

In fact, we broke up.

So please stop spreading false rumors
and making us uncomfortable.

What? Oh my gosh.

Seriously?

What did he say?

That's breaking news.

-What?
-What?

Oh, no.

Ms. Kim, are you doing okay?

-Sorry?
-I asked if you were doing okay.

Why do you ask?

That's my phone.

-Big news!
-Chief So's official statement.

He and Ms. Kim broke off
their engagement. It's over!

Eat your lunch, everyone.

Why would you go around saying that?

Sorry?

I heard you told people
that it's over between us.

Did you really have to announce it?

I didn't announce it.
I was just correcting them.

People will keep talking about us,

and it will make you uncomfortable
every time they do.

And you thought I'd enjoy

hearing other people gossip
about our breakup?

Ever since people found out
I was getting fired,

they've been pitying me
and it's making me so uncomfortable.

So why did you give them
another reason to talk about me?

It was inconsiderate of me.

I'm sorry.

At this point,

your thoughts or intentions don't matter.

You're like a natural disaster to me.

You show up wherever I go,

destroying everything I've built
and everything I'm dreaming of…

This isn't the first time…

you've done that.

I…

don't want any drama
during the time I have left,

so I'm trying my best
to act like everything's fine.

So…

could you please just leave me alone?

What do you want me to do?

All we do now is greet each other.

How much more distance
do you need to feel comfortable?

Just stay away from me!

I don't want to see or hear you!

I understand.

I'll try my best…

to avoid running into you.
I'll be more careful.

CHIEF'S OFFICE

Honeybun. How many mandu
would you like in your soup?

-Twelve.
-They're really big.

Twelve.

I swear, you'll die from overeating
one of these days.

Wait, honeybun.

Didn't Mi-kyung feel a bit off today?

I only saw her back
as she was leaving. Why?

Just like a ghost that's been trapped
in a limestone cave for 500 years,

she was exuding a spooky energy.

She looked like a character
from The Lord of the Rings,

but she wasn't one of the good guys.

Do you know what I'm saying?

You're basically saying
she looked like a mess.

Don't you ever think
that the way you talk is inefficient?

Anyway,

a huge emotional tornado
swept through this room last night.

I'm determined to find a clue.

How long have you been here?

Twenty-seven minutes.

And you missed that?

Wait, what's that doing there?

Also, remember how she wanted the diffuser
Ward B gave her to last longer

and told us not to breathe?

I do.

She was being so extra and super mean.

-I don't see that, either.
-What?

I also don't see the picture
that was there.

Wait a second.

-You don't think--
-Think what? What is it?

MY BELOVED PRINCESS

Welcome home, Mi-kyung!

You crushed it today!

Oh my gosh, the trash can.

Why did you go through my trash?

-Pass.
-Pass.

All right.

I'm tired, so let's skip
the whole interrogation.

So Baek-h* and I are done, okay?

Go ahead and have dinner without me.
I'm gonna go lie down.

Wait…

Mi-kyung.

I'm guessing you're not ready
to talk about it yet?

Okay. I won't bother you.

What is wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you!

Getting dumped by some guy
doesn't mean anything has to change.

Keep your head up and live your life.

Why do you automatically
assume that I got dumped?

You didn't?

Well…

Up until a few days ago,

just thinking about So Baek-h*
made you smile at the dinner table.

It's more likely that he ended it.

So what happened? Why did you dump him?

I never dumped him. It's just that…

Something made me…

very disappointed
in So Baek-h* as a person.

You know what it was like for me
when I left Wonhan, right?

How could I forget?

To this day,
it still makes me grind my teeth.

Mine too.

It still keeps me up at night
thinking about how unfair it was.

But I found out…

that So Baek-h* was
one of the people who tortured me.

-What?
-I still…

want to try and understand him.

He was just following orders.

And he didn't even know who I was.

But…

it still makes me mad.

The fact that the person I like

was partially responsible for
the most horrible time of my life…

The fact that he played a role in it…

makes me so mad.

Gosh.

Isn't it funny?

In my effort to move on from all of that,

I ran far away to the mountains
and left everything behind.

But I just couldn't get away.

It almost makes me think that it's karma.

Why would you think that?

You did nothing to deserve that.

After all I've been through,
I still trusted him.

I saw the good parts that he showed me

and thought they were everything.

I got my hopes up
believing he was a nice guy.

I feel so stupid and pathetic.

I'm just sick of it all.

That's it.

Talking about it with you
will only make me cry.

I'm going to bed early.
I don't want to think about anything.

Okay.

Sleep well.

Don't dream about anything.

What's wrong, honeybun?

Did Mi-kyung lash out at you?

I told you not to talk to her right now.

-It's nothing like that.
-What is it, then?

Are you sad because they broke up?

I swear to you. I'll love you until I die.

That's not it either, stupid.

Then what is it?

What's wrong?

I've been lying to Mi-kyung
this whole time.

What?

She's going to be disappointed in me too.

She'll never forgive me.

Just stay away from me!

I don't want to see or hear you!

Jerk.

Why do I miss you?

Come on.

The alarm's been ringing forever.

Get up, Mi-kyung. It's time to go to work.

Mi-kyung!

Are you okay?

Gosh, that's loud.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

Okay, Hwan-kyung.

Tell her to get some rest.

Make sure she doesn't get out of bed
until she's healthy and well-rested.

Bye.

JU SEUNG-HEE

Why? What's wrong?

She's in the ER
because of stomach cramps.

She's sleeping and hooked up to an IV.

She was just acting tough for show.

Gosh, that dummy.

It's a miracle she's lasted this long.

She's going through a breakup
on top of getting fired.

She should've collapsed a long time ago.

Speaking of which…

between the two of them,

you don't know how they broke up
or who dumped whom,

do you, Potato g*ng?

Do you seriously want to talk about that
when she's sick?

I'm just looking out for my coworker.

I'm making sure I have all the details.

I need the full context
in order to provide the proper care.

What more is there to know?

What man in his right mind
fires his girlfriend?

Let her move on.

Don't say anything in front of her.

They didn't break up.

What? Do you know something?

Sorry?

Did I just say
what I was thinking out loud?

Yes, you did indeed. What is it? Spill.

Well…

It's not something that I know for sure,

but I sometimes have visions in my dreams.

I saw a beautiful ossuary that had
a bunch of flowering trees.

Then I noticed their names
next to each other.

They'll die in the same year

and their urns will be together.

That means they'll stay
together forever, right?

Gosh.

I can't believe I'm conducting
scientific research with someone like him.

We should really
get the water cooler checked.

There's definitely something in there.

Nobody drink the water until we do.

Okay.

-Should I call the water cooler company?
-I'm on it already.

KOREA-NEW ZEALAND
JOINT SMART FORUM

What are you doing at corporate?

I'm staying in Seoul for a few days
because I have some business to attend to.

Excuse me.

Did we need him for something?

No, he said he was busy with the lab,
so his work here is on hold.

Just a second.

No!

Hold on.

I should call her.

No, I can't.

No.

-Hello.
-Hello, Ms. Kim.

I'm calling…

to discuss the PMI direction
of the R&D Department…

Are you sick?

No, I'm fine. Go on.

You think I can't tell from your voice?

What's wrong?

Do you have a cold?

Just stomach cramps.

They'll go away soon.

So what's wrong with the report?

Come on.

I'm hanging up
if you don't have anything to say.

Is it that bad?

What do you mean?

I'm just saying.

You can eat three portions
of spicy chicken feet at night

and feel fine, but now you're sick.

Things must really be bad.

Are you serious right now?

Yes, things are bad.

I have no idea what to do with my life.

I don't know who to trust.

Ever since I met you at Wonhan,

my life has been a mess.

Things couldn't be worse.

So please…

don't go out of your way
to make me listen to your voice.

I'm begging you.

That was unnecessary. I was just worried.

Anyway…

Get some rest and watch what you eat--

Gosh! Why do I ever worry about you?

You'll be just fine.

Damn it!

Mr. Yoon, you're fired.

Ms. Lee, Mr. Kim, Ms. Lee… you're fired.

-Why?
-You're fired.

What do you mean?

You're fired. You no longer work for us.

LETTER OF INVOLUNTARY RESIGNATION

Please. I have a family.

-Why would you fire me?
-Tell me what I did wrong.

There must be some sort of mistake.

-Mr. Kim, you're fired.
-Why?

-Mr. Lee, you're fired.
-You can't do this.

Mr. Lee, you're fired.

-Mr. Park, you're fired.
-Why?

-Why am I fired?
-You're fired.

-No way.
-You're fired.

Please give me a chance…

Ms. Kim, you're fired.

I knocked three times.

Didn't you hear me?

I had something on my mind.

Gosh, some pair you are.

-What do you mean?
-Kim Mi-kyung and So Baek-h*.

One person is spacing out at work,

while another is sick in bed.

How can I stay out of it
when you're obviously upset?

-Mi-kyung is sick?
-Yes.

What did you say to her?
She's usually strong as an ox.

Didn't you let her go
before her feelings grew?

Are you sure you did that right?

It looks like her feelings
have already grown.

What are you doing here?

sh**t, how do I do this?

Honeybun, I'm glad you're here.

-What's up?
-It's Mi-kyung.

She's been drinking nothing
but electrolyte drinks all day.

I wanted to cook her something.
Do you think this will do?

Saury, pineapples, and spinach.

What on earth are you trying to make?

Saury pineapple spinach soup?

No, that's not food.
It's abuse in soup form.

You shouldn't even feed that
to your arch-enemy.

Jeez.

What's this?

Wow, this is filled
to the brim with abalone.

Actually, I didn't make it. Ward B…

What are you doing up?

You could've just called me.

It's fine. I just wanted to get some air.

I picked up some porridge.

Do you want some?

I'll have some when I get back.

Wait a second.

That smells like abalone porridge.

Made with plenty of abalone guts.

It is.

Take it back.

What is this?

Don't play dumb with me.

Hwan-kyung is too cheap
to get the most expensive item,

even if his sister is sick.

He'd get tuna vegetable porridge at best.

I know you gave this to him.
Why are you doing this?

You don't want to be the bad guy
despite all those awful things you did?

Did taking care of me behind my back
make you feel better?

I'm glad you have the energy
to be mad at me.

You should still get some rest.

-I told you to leave me alone.
-I couldn't take it.

I heard you were sick in bed,

but I couldn't ask if you were okay.

As someone who's supposed to stay away,
I had to go behind your back.

I just had to do something.

Is that good enough?

I can't have abalone.

I made it for you.

Throw it out or give it away.
Do whatever you want with it.

Jeez.

He's not the one
who should be acting cold.

Hey.

Gosh.

I fell asleep after dinner.

What time is it?

-It's ten.
-Okay.

You forgot to take your pills.

Here they are.

Thanks.

Did the doctor say
that I was dying or something?

Why have you been teary all day?

It's nothing.

I'm just sad to see you sick.

Go back to sleep.

Hey, Ong-ju.

What?

You know I cry a lot. Let it go.

I know you're a crybaby,
but this is too much even for you.

What is it?

Am I actually dying?

Who said you're dying?

I couldn't go on if you were.

Then what is it…

What is it? Does it hurt again?
I'm starting the car.

It's not my stomach.

I'm having patience cramps.

Just tell me.

Something's going on, right?

-Ong-ju.
-If you're

disappointed in me…

will you dump me too?

What are you talking about?

If I did something wrong to you…

but had the nerve
to remain your friend all this time,

like you did with So Baek-h*,

will you cut me off too?

What did you do that was so wrong?

-If you're being dramatic again--
-I knew…

that Ki-se was cheating on you.

What?

I found out when I was
dress shopping with Su-hyeon,

which was months before your breakup.

I knew all along.

I swear my alarm never went off.

Where should I meet you?
I'm at the entrance right now.

We're having it at a hotel.

What?

Ki-se?

There's no way I could afford that.

It's all thanks to my mother-in-law.

Right? I got lucky.

Are you the groom? The bride is ready.

Okay.

Let's get a drink
before the wedding. It's on me.

No way.

-You!
-What?

Wait, Ong-ju!

Hold on.

You b*stard! What are you doing here?

Why did the clerk just call you the groom?

Mi-kyung has no idea, right?

She has no idea
you're doing this behind her back!

-I haven't told her yet.
-You b*stard.

How could you do this to her?

I'm begging you.
Please let her hear it from me.

It's the least I can do.

"The least you can do"? Are you serious?

Mi-kyung…

trusts you blindly.

What is she going to do?

Damn it!

I knew I had to tell you.

I wanted to go find him with you

and beat him up.

But that meant you'd break up

because of what I said.

I got scared.

What if you thought it was my fault?

What if you started hating me for it?

I ignored it because I was scared.

If I had told you then and there,

and you had dumped him first,

you wouldn't have had
to go through all of that at Wonhan.

Because I was a coward…

you got screwed over
without knowing what was going on.

I feel terrible about that.

I'm sorry.

You should get your IQ checked again.

-What?
-You're clearly an idiot.

How is that your fault?

When I ran away and hid in Pyeongwon,

about to give up all hope…

you followed me all the way here

and talked to me all day
about trivial things.

You took me out to eat meat,
drink, and stargaze.

You dragged me around.

You reached out to me
so many times and saved me.

How could I be disappointed in you?

Don't you hate me?

I think you're annoying.

But still…

I don't want you to die before me.

I'll hate you if you do.

I'm sorry.

You dummy.

I'm sorry.

Gosh, my allergies are acting up.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

Gotcha!

I knew I'd find you here.

I thought you were staying at Ms. Yoon's.
Why are you here?

I really wanted to enjoy my life in Seoul.

But you've been ignoring my calls
and texts for days.

I had to barge in
to see if you were alive.

You always do
whatever you want, don't you?

You're not wrong,
but I don't like your tone.

Tell me if you're mad at me.

So I can apologize,
and we can make up and go eat something.

I'm not mad at you.
I'm just tired, and I need some rest.

Wow, your friend came all the way here
in the middle of the night,

and you're completely ignoring her?

Jeez.

Well, you're no fun.

I'll just go next door
and hang out with Hwan-kyung--

Not there!

What were you saying?

You want to eat?

CHICKEN FEET, RAMYEON, BANQUET NOODLES

MSG is the source of true happiness.

I'll have two soju shots.

Honestly, I'd rather have two bottles,
but I know you'd get mad.

Did you know?

Know what?

That Ki-se had a girlfriend.

Yes.

He told me right before he left for Korea.

He told me that he was sorry
and that we should end it.

And?

-I asked him to stay.
-Why?

Because I really liked him

and I wanted to be with him.

Even though it would hurt someone?

Love was more important to me.

You probably think I'm a b*tch
for feeling that way.

But back then, I did.

I was willing to accept the karma.

I just wanted to protect
my love and my heart.

I chose that over anything else.

But in the end

you got hurt too.

Don't you think it was the wrong choice
for everyone involved?

Don't you feel guilty at all?

Gosh.

That's it.

-Ma'am.
-Yes?

-A bottle of soju, please.
-Okay.

Baek-h*.

Do you love Mi-kyung?

It's okay. You don't have to answer.

You're a cautious person.

It takes a long time for you to be sure.

But once you're sure
that someone is the one…

your only fear from that point on

is losing that person.

That's all.

I know that I made the wrong choice
and that I should feel bad.

I know that.

Park Ki-se was a bad person
who just saw me as a way up the ladder.

And I…

was a dumb, selfish child.

I'm such a mess right now
and I can't settle down anywhere.

I think that's karma.

But if I could turn back time

to that exact moment,

I would still make the same choice.

Don't you regret it?

One time, I had a horrible nightmare
and woke up crying.

And Park Ki-se was right next to me.

I was so sweaty and warm
with my face buried in his chest.

But I didn't care if I suffocated
right then and there.

If I could feel that way for one more day…

I wouldn't regret it.

That's the stuff.

Bye.

Bye.

If you don't want me barging in again,
answer your phone more often.

-I'll think about it.
-All right.

That's my friend.

Okay, get in the car.

-Go on.
-Okay.

Text me when you get home.

Seoul Guy, what are you doing here?

I'm sorry for dropping by this late.

I just realized that I've done nothing
but take gifts from you.

This isn't anything fancy,
but I wanted to repay you somehow.

Wow.

Fried chicken
from Pyeongwon Market is the best.

How did you know that?

And sikhye too?
This must've been a pain to carry.

You know I can't let you go empty-handed.

Honey!

There's no need for that.

-You've already given me--
-Nonsense. Stay right here.

My kitchen belongs to the whole town.

Wait…

How much dongchimi do we have left?

No one's ever given me
homemade kimchi before.

It's half past ten.

Here come the players!

-Gosh.
-Wow.

We're not players.

We're just a bunch of cheap laborers.

Look at us.

We do research, clerical work,
and even manual labor.

How come we each get paid
for just one job?

I think this calls for an audit.

I couldn't agree more.

Come on, are you going
to keep complaining on harvesting day?

Zip your lips.

I told you to take one more day off.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm in top condition
from the IV I just got. Don't worry.

You're still a patient, so be careful.

All right.

Before the harvest…

let me say a few words.

Gosh.

Wow. My beloved Research Team.

Our hard work this past year
has finally come to fruition--

-Right! I almost forgot.
-What?

I prepared this
for the hard work we'll be doing.

Energy jelly!

Wow!

It's grape flavored.

Here you go.

-Wow.
-Thanks.

I saw celebrities eat this on TV.

-Wow.
-This thing

is fruity

and delicious!

Okay, now.

Pay attention.

There's an age-old saying

that farmers' footsteps
make potatoes grow.

This means that it takes a lot of effort--

Oh, the potato lab is here.

-Hello.
-Hey!

-How are you?
-Thank you for everything.

-Hello.
-Long time no see.

-I can't listen to that.
-Thank you.

Forget it. I'm not doing the speech.

I'm not doing it!

-Goodness!
-Are you okay?

-Oh my goodness.
-Mr. Ko.

-Say "Ah."
-Ah.

Thank God.

Snake! There's a rattlesnake!

-A rattlesnake!
-Where?

Come on.

Look at this!

Let's see.

Wow.

Gosh!

-Oh my!
-Be careful.

Don't hurt the potatoes.

-Here you go.
-Goodness.

You're bringing three to four boxes
while the others are bringing two.

Take it easy.

I'm fine.

All this heavy lifting
is good for clearing my head.

How's the quantity?
The sizes are looking okay.

I was already worried
after the growth inspection.

As expected, it's not looking good.

We're going to be
a few thousand kilos short.

I don't know if I should blame
the weather or the people anymore.

Gosh.

Yes, Mr. Park.

Sorry?

What happened?

POTATO LAB

What did Mr. Park do now?

Can someone explain the situation?

What happened?

It's like I told you already.

The storage facility at the Chungnam
factory had a problem.

A temperature-setting issue
froze all the potatoes.

All 500 tons have to be discarded.

This can't be happening.

You've been storing potatoes forever.

How could you let this happen?

How could I have known?

The controller box malfunctioned
and made the temperature drop below zero--

Preventing accidents like that

is part of the Production
Department's job!

You work for the potato lab.

Why did no one even
check the storage facility

while 500 tons of potatoes were freezing?

It's not their fault.

Chief Hong noticed the issue early on
and was planning on fixing it.

But I must have overlooked it
during the takeover.

I apologize.

Five hundred tons is 20%
of the annual purchase quantity.

We already have a bad crop this year.

There's no way we can match the quantity.

I'm aware.

That's why I'm planning
an emergency purchase plan.

I looked into a couple of distributors--

That won't work.

Those companies will know
right away that we're desperate

and double the price
for all of their supplies.

We should go to farms instead of companies

and double-check the quality
before we buy in small amounts.

That's right.

Even the operation of the Chungnam factory
is unclear at the moment.

We should focus on quantity, not quality.

We should prioritize normalizing
the inventory as soon as possible.

Do you still think
that all potatoes are the same?

That we should just buy any potatoes
so we can get the factories running?

They're not all the same.

Potatoes that have been
nurtured daily with affection

are different from those that are
just planted and sprayed with pesticides.

This is the potato lab,

and we strive to provide the world
with good potatoes.

We want to at least defend our reputation.

Can't you let us do that?

How many potatoes
does each farm have in storage?

It varies,

but some of them have up to hundreds.

In order to secure 500 tons,
we'll need to visit at least 100 farms.

We have to gather
all of the connections we made

during the farming education sessions.

Check every farm that grows potatoes.

Wait a minute.

Ms. Ju, you stay out of the purchasing
and focus on the harvesting.

I'll take Mr. Ko
and start with the nearby farms.

-Okay.
-The Production Team

will visit farms in pairs.
Please send me the list of farms.

-Then I'll--
-I'll go with Ms. Kim.

You're coming with me?

Yes. And as for the Chungnam factory,

we'll ship a portion of the potatoes
we have in storage here at the lab.

Since this is an urgent matter,

everyone should come
to the storage warehouse and help.

Ms. Kim!

Is your wedding with Chief So back on?

No! I have no idea…

Why would he…

Is he out of his mind?

Okay, turn, turn.

We're short on time,
so let's make it quick.

-Yes, sir!
-Mr. Ko.

Where's Mr. Ko?

-No idea.
-He has a stomachache.

I swear, he disappears
whenever we have work to do.

Ms. Kim! Leave these to me.

You can take the smaller ones.

Are you feeling better?

What do you think? I came to work.

Does your workflow
have to overlap with mine?

We could easily switch off.

I'm working at my own pace.

If you're uncomfortable,
you can slow down so we don't overlap.

What if I don't want to?

Mr. Lee.

Never date someone you work with.

That's what happens when it's over.

I told you, it's not over between them.

Why do you want to do the purchasing?

You don't know anything about farms.

I'm the one who's responsible for this.

I'm obligated to do my best
to take care of it.

You could fulfill
that obligation by yourself.

Why do you need me for it?
It's going to be uncomfortable.

Because I don't know anything about farms,

I chose the person in charge
of farming education as my partner.

Is that a problem?

Should we separate them?

-They both seem so bitter.
-Stay out of it.

That man's grumpiness

is addicting to watch.

Come here.

POTATO LAB

One, two, three,

four.

Now!

I can't breathe.

Jeez!

You're supposed to walk on the right side.

No!

-What was that?
-What happened?

What is it?

Mr. So!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm not the problem right now…

-Oh, no.
-Oh my gosh!

Oh my God.

Are you okay? Chief So…

I'll get the first aid kit.

Chief So, you're bleeding.

I am?

Are you stupid?

Why would you jump under a falling ladder?

You should've gotten out of the way.

MK, why are you mad at Chief So--

What about you?

Should I have gotten out of the way
and let you get hurt?

You didn't have to take the hit for me.

What if you really had gotten hurt?

Did you want me to die from guilt?

I didn't have time to think about that.

It was an automatic reaction.

I don't like that!

Why do you automatically think of me?

Do you seriously not know?

No! I don't.

I never said I wanted to break up.

But you announced it to the whole company.

You told me I could take it out on you.

But you gave up immediately
after I got mad once.

Couldn't you…

Couldn't you have…

just waited a little bit?

You could've begged and asked me to stay

or at least tried to change my mind.

You couldn't even do that.

Why do you have to be so self-righteous
and stubborn all the time?

What are those two doing?

This is the potato lab, not a soap opera.

Are you okay?

Those two drained all your energy.

You look like you're about to pass out.
Take deep breaths.

"Whoo." Like that.

-It does feel a little surreal.
-What?

Neither of them

are acting their age.

Gosh.

What do we do about the potato shipment?

I thought it was urgent.

How are we supposed to interrupt them?

There's plenty of space in the backyard
and by the vending machines.

Why did they have to start fighting there?

What are you all doing out here?
Chief So needs this.

Wait!

Anybody hungry? It's around lunchtime.

It is?

-Lunch?
-I see.

-I get it.
-Right.

I also understand.

Don't think that I forgive you

just because I said that.

I still think of you as a Wonhan b*stard,

and I'm still mad.

Go. You have to go see a doctor.

I'm okay. It doesn't hurt at all.

Quit being so difficult.

OPERATE
OFF

Why is this closing on its own?

What?

Open the door, please!

It's malfunctioning.

Let's go have lunch, everyone.

And a cup of coffee if there's time.

-Potato g*ng!
-Potato g*ng!

Ms. Ju! I'm still in here…

Kim Mi-kyung is still in here!

I think they closed it on purpose.

Are they all insane?

This is a cold storage facility!

You can't put people in a potato fridge!

What's so funny?

We're about to either freeze
or suffocate to death.

Also, you're injured and bleeding.

You're the only one in danger.

You're straining your heart
with intense physical activity

in cold temperatures.

And you're shouting,

which means you're breathing in
too much cold air.

So what?

Do you want to just stay trapped in here?

I don't think we're trapped.

I think this is
an opportunity for us to talk.

I'm sorry,

but I don't have anything
I want to talk about.

Fine.

I don't know what they're thinking,

but if they went to lunch,
they'll be back in an hour.

Let's take this time to meditate
separately, away from each other.

Jeez.

This stupid, kind heart of mine.

Go sit over there.

Why?

Don't ask why. Just sit down already.

It stings.

That's karma.

Mi-kyung.

Don't be a crybaby.

I'm being as gentle as I can.

If I begged,

would you forgive me?

If I asked you to stay…

would you stay?

You're all set.

Put the Band-Aid on yourself--

If I tell you that I realized what I want…

and that I love you,

would you…

come back to me?

It's good.

Jeez.

Wait.

MY BELOVED PRINCESS

I am hereby evicting you
from USB Guesthouse, Mr. So.

You're guilty of breaking
the heart of Kim Mi-kyung.

You careless b*stard!

You said I should roll over
and act cute like a puppy, right?

I can't.

You are so lethal to my heart.

Why are you suddenly doing this?

Sorry I didn't contact you first.

Potachips' production depends on this.

-I said I'm busy!
-Just a second!

If you can help us out just this once…

What happened? Is something wrong?
