Hae Won gets to work and waits from Mr Oh.

Heejin:(suddenly appearing) He's never on time

Hae Won:(creeped out)Really ,(sarcastic) I hadn't noticed.

Heejin:Yeah ,but he's our senior what can we do about it .

Mr Oh:(suddenly appearing) Nothing

Heejin:(shy)Omo sir ,I'm sorry about that.

Mr Oh:Its okay, I'll try to be earlier Miss Ko.

He goes into his office

Heejin:I told you he's nice ,if that had been Miss Do i would be jobless now.

Miss Do: (suddenly appearing) If you keep standing around  gossiping I just might fire you

Heejin:(embarrassed) Omo,ma'am I'm...

Miss Do: Sorry?...(chuckles) save it for someone  who cares Miss Ko.

She walks away

Heejin:(nervous) It's still the morning and I've managed to piss her off,my day will surely suck.(sulking) Now go in before my big mouth gets me into anymore trouble

Hae Won :Okay wish me luck

She enters the office as Mr Oh is settling in

Hae Won:Morning Sir ,I'm ..

Mr Oh:Park Yeona ,I know

Hae Won:(surprised) Omo

Mr Oh:How can I help you?

Hae Won: Well Miss Do told me to report to you since I'm in your department .

Mr Oh: Awe I see,I currently have nothing for you to do.I'm used to doing of the work on my own

Hae Won: Awe I see

Mr Oh:Yes....

Hae Won: But Miss Do had me double check her old files so can I do that for you as well,

Mr Oh:You don't have to,

Hae Won:(smiling)  I actually want to ,I had fun doing them so I was hoping to continue

Mr Oh:You really don't have to.

Hae Won: No no no sir ,I want to.Its my job after all.

Mr Oh:Okay come back in a couple minutes

A couple minutes later

Hae Won: I'm back

Mr Oh:I see ,here are some of the files you can look into

She looks at he pile and it's not even 10%of what she got from Miss Do

Hae Won: Is that it

Mr Oh:Yes

Hae Won: Well it isn't much for a company of this magnitude.

Mr Oh:(smiling) Miss Do is a bit outdated ,I keep most of my files in the computer.

Hae Won: You could just send them

Mr Oh:You're being pushy for someone who  is just doing it out of interest.

Hae Won: (smiling) Forgive me it's a habit of mine.Once I start something I have to finish it.

Mr Oh:(fake smiling) Well you're a new employee,we can't be handing over all our files to you just like that

Hae Won:(fake smiling)  You're completely right sir.

Mr Oh:I'll give actual assignments to do not this boring stuff.

Hae Won: Thank  you sir

She just sits there staring at him and they just awkwardly laugh.

Mr Oh:Aren't you going to leave

Hae Won: Awe yeah I'm going now .

She exits the office satisfied with what she's gotten

Hae Won: (in her mind)He's either a really good employee or guilty of something.

As the day comes to an end Mr Jung ,Mr Oh and  Miss Do are still in the office

Heejin:(sulking) When are we leaving it's getting late?

Hae Won :Ummmm...now actually.

Just as the elevator doors are about to close Mr Jung holds it open

Mr Jung:We must be elevator buddies by now

Heejin and Hae Won just let out fake laughs.

Heejin:(in mind)And to think he embarrassed me in our team  meeting just because of the font i used.

Mr Jung :(excited) So what are you ladies up to

Hae Won: We're going to grab a bite

Suddenly her foot gets stamped

Hae Won: Ouch!

Mr Jung:What's wrong ?

Hae Won :(glaring at Heejin)Nothing

Mr Jung :So can I join you?

Hae Won: Yes you can

Her  foot gets stamped on once more and this time she returns the favour.

Heejin:(whispering) What are you doing?

Hae Won: Being friendly

Heejin:(annoyed) Aish now we're stuck with crazy pants for the rest of the night

Hae Won: Maybe he isn't that bad outside work.

I hr later

Hae Won: Okay I take back what I said

Heejin:Aish what a bust

Hae Won: He only had one bottle of soju

Heejin:He's not so good with alcohol. That's why no-one takes him drinking or anywhere actually.

Hae Won:I'm sorry,but isn't it the same issue  you had.I pretty sure he felt as bad as you did when people left you out.

Heejin:Aish you are right.Im turning into those people

Hae Won: Its okay,it's never too late to change

Heejin:But seriously this man is  embarrassing us.Noone would even think he runs his own company

Hae Won: At least he's not stripping

He starts stripping

Hae Won: Spoke too soon

They get kicked out of the restaurant and just sit at the bus stop where Mr Jung immediately falls asleep

Heejin:This night is ruined ,no offence but I'm going home.

Hae Won: What about him?

Heejin:(teasingly) You can get him home saint Yeona

Hae Won: I dont know where he stays

Heejin:Neither do I,and I'm not about to take him to my place. My boyfriend will freak out

Hae Won:(surprised)  You have a boyfriend

Heejin:Yes and look he's  already calling

on call

Heejin:I'm with Yeona my new chingu...Im coming soon...Yeah yeah I'll buy some for you...Okay give me a couple minutes.

ends call

Heejin:I have to go

Hae Won: You can't leave me with him

Heejin:I was late yesterday, I can't be late today too. My baby is a bit clingy ,I dont want him to start having thoughts about me .

Hae Won: Please

Heejin:He's the only boy I've ever dated, and he just said he has a surprise waiting for me.Im sorry chingu.

She runs off

Hae Won:(dumbfound)  Seriously.Mr Jung where do you stay.

Mr Jung:Aish don't call me that.Im Wu bin

Hae Won:(annoyed) Okay Wu Bin where do you live

Mr Jung:In wonderland.

He falls back  asleep .

Hae Won: Ahhh Google

She searches and there's nothing about his home.

Hae Won: Should I try Miss Do.... ,no she'll only get more pissed at me.....I can't take him home.Noone can know where I live...I'll check him into a hotel.

She gets on a taxi

Hae Won: Can you take me to the nearest hotel

Taxi driver:Okay

They get dropped off and she immediately regrets it .

Hae Won: Aish this place looks expensive. I'll use his card then.

She drags him into the hotel and books him a room then takes his key card from the office and heads straight back there.

Hae Won: (in her head)Thanks Heejin for bailing out on me ,I  wasn't sure how I was going to shake you off.My plan was a success.

She uses Mr Jungs key card to gain access into Mr Oh' s office then makes a call .
