Next day
Hae Won arrives at work late
Heejin:(nervous) Do you have a death sentence, Miss Do was looking for you
Hae Won:(meh) Aish you worry too much
Heejin:What happened to your phone I tried calling you .
Hae Won: I switched it off
Heejin :Aish this girl .Mr Jung still hasn't returned to work so Miss Do is much worse than yesterday
Hae Won: What's her deal anyway ,she's acting as if her husband ran away a from home.
Heejin:(whispering) Lower your voice, that actually happened before.
Hae Won: No way
Heejin:Yes way,her husband ran away with a younger woman and started another family.That's why she's so bitter.
Hae Won:(sad) I understand her.
Flashback
She gets back from school sad
H.dad:What's wrong dear.
Hae Won:Dad what happened to mom
H.dad:I told you not to talk about her
Hae Won: (sulking) But it's mother's day.Everyone at school had something to say about their mom besides me.
H.Dad:(sad)She doesn't deserve to be called your mother.
Hae Won: Can I atleast have a picture of her
H.dad:No!(mad)She didn't even want to see your face when you were born.
Hae Won: (teary eyed) That's not true,Miss Ju said that all mother's love their children
H.dad:Not yours,she left you just one day after you were born.Which person does that.
Hae Won: Maybe she had her reasons.
H.dad:(frustrated )Yes she didn't love you or me
Hae Won: No that's not true,maybe you did something to make her leave.
He slaps her and she starts crying .
Present time
Hae Won: (mumbles) That was the first time he hit me.
Heejin:Who hit you?
Hae Won:(smiling) Don't mind me I was just thinking outloud.
Heejin:But still..
Hae Won: (cutting her off)We were talking about Miss Do right?Go on.
Heejin: Well shes also mad because she kinda likes Mr Jung.
Hae Won: No way
Heejin:Yes way.She tries to hide it but we see it.She doesn't like anyone bringing it up
Hae Won: I'll keep my lips sealed then.
Heejin:(looking ahead)Omo she's coming over ,I hope you did your work
Miss Do arrives at their workspaces
Miss Do:Miss Park you're late
Hae Won: I'm sorry ma'am ,the thing is...
Miss Do:(cutting her off) I don't care about the lie you're about to tell me.
Hae Won: I wasn't going to lie
Miss Do:Talking back are we?
Hae Won: Sorry ma'am
Miss Do:And the work I gave you ,did you do it
Hae Won: No I haven't even started
Miss Do:And why is that
Hae Won: Look at that pile it's so big and overwhelming. I didn't know where to begin
Everyone who was listening in just gasps
Miss Do:(chuckles) You haven't even been working here for that long and you're already doing this.Just because Mr Jung isn't around doesnt mean I can't fire you.
He suddenly appears
Mr Jung:I'm here
Miss Do:(surprised) Omo you're back
Mr Jung: Clearly
Everyone scoffs
Mr Jung :Everyone stop what you're doing I have an announcement
They all gather around
Mr Jung: I'm sure that you're all aware about what Mr Oh did.And it's sad to say that we all have to suffer the consequences for him.Im afraid to tell you that the company is bankrupt.
They all gasp
Mr Jung :I can't manage to keep this ship afloat so I have to sell it.
Miss Do:(shocked) No that can't be.
Mr Jung: Let me finish....Im sorry to say that as of today you're all unemployed .
They all gasp .
Mr Jung :So lets all pack our belongings and leave this premises. I was honoured to have employees like you ,I hope you get new jobs where the boss isn't some whacko like me.
Miss Do:(indenial) But Mr Jung..
Mr Jung:(cutting her off) You will all receive a great sum for all your work here .Thank you.
He storms off to his office and Miss Do follows him leaving all the workers in shock.
Heejin:(shocked) This can't be.What will I do now.
Hae Won: (sulking) Its only my 5th day at work and I already have to start looking for another one.
Heejin:(hugging her crying)What will we do!
Everyone in the office is breaking down.
MEANWHILE...in Mr Jung's office
Miss Do:What is this you're saying.
Mr Jung: Just let it go
Miss Do:(frustrated) No! ,the damage isn't that bad .We can pull through this. We've dealt with much worse
Mr Jung:(angry) I said let it go!
Miss Do:How can I just let it go when I helped build this company .You just want me to act like I don't care .(breaking down) Well no,i do care this is my child too
Mr Jung: You're overreacting.
Miss Do:No I'm not!Tell me the truth. Is Mr Lee behind this?
Mr Jung: No this has nothing to do with him.
Miss Do:(desperate) Then what is it.Help me understand
Mr Jung: There's nothing to understand. This is my decision so please just respect it .
Miss Do:You're just giving up like this?
Mr Jung: Its for the best
Miss Do:You mean your best.Look out your window.Look at all those people whose lives you've just ruined.
Mr Jung: I feel bad already don't push it
Miss Do:(chuckles) Save your tears.You're a piece of sh*t!
She storms out of his office
Miss Do:You heard the man,PACK UP!
Everyone starts packing up,then She storms off into her office.
Heejin:Omo Yeona you already packed
Hae Won: No I just never unpacked when I got here
Heejin: Lucky you .Look at the boss he looks totally destroyed.Miss Do looks even worse.
Hae Won: Maybe it's for the best
Heejin: How can this be any good
Hae Won: Well I don't know. But he loves his job so it must something he really has to do.
Heejin: I guess so.But what will I do now.(sulking) This was my first job,I thought it would last forever
Hae Won: Nothing lasts forever
Heejin:(sad) I see that now.
Hae Won helps Heejin pack up and soon everyone leaves the office totaly destroyed.
Heejin: Let's all go have some drinks ,since it's our last day
Everyone agrees but Hae Won.
Hae Won: I've got to meet someone today, it's important sorry.
