Sun Ri smile realizing the magnitude of the task ahead
At the traffic signal
Joo won's car passes by and he sees them smiling,looks for a while till the signal turns green

"what would be that "personal" thing that kept Kim and Sun ri engaged?"
Meanwhile Kim:" He might not appear to be one but Mr. Joo won is considerate most of the times"
Sun Ri: "you are full of praises for your boss"
Kim: "once you gain his trust through efficiency, there is no going back"
sun Ri: "really? "
Kim anxiously: "however, one thing bothers me"
Sun Ri: "what is that"?
Kim: "he can turn as dangerous as one can imagine, once his trust is broken. For the first time since I have been working for him, I have been dishonest, about this project, hiding your identity"
Sun Ri: "sorry, you have to go through this because of me"
Kim:"no"
Sun Ri: "I will try my level best not to let you in a position where you have to face his wrath"
Kim: "let us hope for the best"
