Eun: I'm coming in, Boss. Mr. Kang: (He looks at Eun happily, though a hint of arrogance also flickers in his expression.) Yes, come in. (Eun slowly enters.) (Park is taken aback by this attitude of Kang's.) Park: (Thinking to himself) What on earth has gotten into Kang? (Seeing Eun approaching him, he turns toward her.) Eun, do you have some business here? Eun: Yes, Mr. Park. (Approaching Park, she speaks in a hushed voice.) Do you have the files for today's meeting? I needed them for the session. Park: Yes, but I don't have them—Kang does. And why are you speaking in such a hushed voice? Did something happen? Eun: Yes... actually, you have no idea what I did with Mr. Kang yesterday! I actually went and hugged him! (A flashback plays.) Park: What?! (Laughing) So that's why you're so terrified! That's hilarious—I wish I had been there to see it all with my own eyes! Eun: Oh, give it a rest! I just don't want to face him right now; it would be too embarrassing. (Whispering in Park's ear) Could you go ask him for the files? (Just then...) Kang: (Glaring at them) What are you two whispering about? And you—come here. Whatever you have to discuss, speak directly to me. Eun: (To Park) What do I do now? You say something! Park: Yeah, but first you have to answer Kang—he keeps staring right at you! (Startled, she turns around to look.) Eun: Yes? (She looks at Kang and smiles.) (Turning back to Park) Now, will you go get the files? Park: I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. He won't hand over the files to me, so it would be best if you went and retrieved them yourself. Eun: Alright, it looks like I'll have to get the files myself. I'm going in... (Eun slowly approaches Kang's desk, her head bowed low.) "Boss, I need the files for today's meeting." Mr. Kang: "What? I can't hear a single word of what you're saying." Sir: "Look up and speak clearly. Just yesterday, you were speaking with such confidence—there wasn't even a trace of fear on your face." Park: (To himself: "I feel completely useless standing here. I should just leave them alone... Alright then.") (To Kang): "Kang, I'm heading out; I need to go check on the meeting preparations." Kang: "Alright, I'll catch you later." (Park starts to leave, but Eun turns and signals for him to stay; however, Park declines and exits the room.) Kang: (To Eun): "What exactly are you doing? Do you want these files or not? By the way, yesterday you called me 'angry.' Do I really come across that way to you?" Eun: (To herself, angrily: "He's not just angry—he's a raging kangaroo who gets a kick out of tormenting me!") (To Kang, head still bowed and speaking softly): "P-Please forgive me, Sir, for my behavior yesterday. I was intoxicated when I said those things; otherwise, I know that you aren't a bad person. Please, just forget everything I said or did yesterday." Kang: "Actually... I'm *not* angry. And as for yesterday's events? I won't forget a single thing—we'll settle that score later. But..." (Glancing at his watch): "...for now, I'll let you go. It's time for the meeting. Take these files." (Kang starts to hand her the files. Just as Eun reaches out to take them, Kang suddenly—) (He sets the files back down.) Eun: (Flustered, she snatches up the files and rushes out of the cabin. Watching her leave, Kang smiles.)
CUT OUT
INT.LK COMPANY .DAY
(Lee sits in his office chair, rocking back and forth, when his secretary enters.)
Secretary Jung: May I come in, Sir?
Lee: Yes, come in. (Stopping his rocking motion)
Secretary Jung: Sir, did you call for me?
Lee: Yes. Tell me, what is my schedule for today?
Secretary Jung: Yes, Sir. Your schedule today is completely packed. You have several scheduled meetings, followed by some personal engagements, so you will be heading out later.
Lee: Alright. Then cancel all my afternoon meetings. I have some urgent matters to attend to.
Secretary Jung: But those meetings are very important!
Lee: (Angrily) Just do exactly as I say. You don't need to concern yourself with anything else.
Secretary Jung: (In a low voice) I'm sorry, Sir. I will cancel the meetings.
Lee: Good. I have made a decision: I am going to work with the Misxo Company.
Secretary Jung: (Astonished) What? Sir, are you serious?
Lee: What do you mean? Do I usually lie?
Secretary Jung: No, Sir, it's not that. It's just that you once said that come what may, you would never work with *that* company—so now, for you to do this...
Lee: Yes. (Laughing inwardly) But I have made up my mind; I *will* work with *that* company. Therefore, I am going to meet Chairman Kang today. You handle all the day's work here—I won't be returning to the company later.
Secretary Jung: Very well, Sir. I'll take my leave now. (Secretary Jang exits the cabin.)
Lee: (Leaning back in his chair again) Kang... Kang... I'm coming for you. (He smiles.)
