This is a world where the president fights with his vice president.
If a conservative GKP representative and a liberal GJP representative get together...
what do you think people will say about that?
Do you remember participating in athletic events when you were a little kid?
Those events are always divided into the white and the blue team...
and they always compete against each other.
But the thing is...
there were always Blue team members that would be standing on the White team's side
and there were White team members that stood alongside the Blue team members.
- There were always a few of those idiots. - Yes, there were.
There were always a few of those foolish idiots.
- Fools like me? - Yes, just like you...
Well, what I meant was...
Your ways these days...
seems to differ greatly from the ways of the GKP...
I'm suggesting that you quit their party, and come join us on the minority party.
Other than yourself...
there are couple of other younger representatives members...
so if you make your move with them
you wouldn't feel lonely, and it would also be less of a burden on you.
Take your time and think about it.
Minority party...
I don't want to be a rogue politician.
[Fire extinguisher]
- Yes? - I'm headed over to your place.
I need to see you for a moment.
Leader Woo of the Minority party and Representative Kim...
are currently having a dinner meeting together.
Is that right?
Just why do you think those two are having dinner together right now?
If you're that curious about it, then go and ask them directly yourself.
You're right as always.
I wonder why I asked you when I should be asking those two about it instead.
I apologize.
Well then...
Please don't overexert yourself, and take care of yourself while you work.
You have my utmost respect.
[Representative Kim Soo Young's activity report.]
- What is it? - What's this about?
I just asked you what this is about.
This has nothing to do with you, so just keep on going where you were going.
You said I have the right to object, right?
This bastard is not allowed.
- It's not like that, Joon Ha. - What's not like that?
He's here to discuss work stuff. That's why you're here, right?
- No, I'm here to discuss personal matters. - Kim Soo Young.
Just what is your deal?
Why are you always tiptoeing around this jerk?
What other representative in this world coward in front of their advisers like this?
- I'm not cowering in front of him. - Get back inside, Min Young.
Joon Ha!
- And you, follow me. - I don't want to!
I already told you that I'm not here to see you.
I remember giving you several warnings.
I told you not to come close to Min Young.
- You warned him several times? - They weren't warnings.
They were unwarranted and childish threats.
I already gave you my response to that.
That neither you or I should interfere in each other's business.
Both of us equally.
But what right do you have...
- Do you by any chance... - Stop, both of you.
What are you going to do?
You want to keep doing this right here?
Stop it, stop it, stop it. Stop this right now.
Fine, follow me.
- No, stop it. - Let's go this way.
Both of you, stop right there!
In my opinion...
I don't think this is something you two need to take care of...
but something I need to take care of.
Am I wrong?
I'm not wrong, am I?
If what you're here about isn't urgent, why don't we talk some other time?
- And if it is urgent? - Even if it's urgent, we'll talk later.
Joon Ha...
We need to talk.
Please.
What kind of a behavior is this?
You seem to be unaware of something...
but the one you should be dealing with right now isn't that jerk, but me!
I'm sorry... but please, just leave. Okay?
Do you find me that trifling and unimportant?
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Joon Ha...
What is it that you know, and how long have you known it for?
First, let's get inside.
Try moving it and see if it's alright.
I'm seriously fine. See how I can move it around?
Look.
You want me to move it around some more?
I only found out recently.
As for what I know, I know how Kim Soo Young feels about you.
And...
that's everything.
I hope that's everything.
That's everything.
You're right about that being everything.
And...
And?
And I know.
I know why you object to it.
I'm a government officer...
and I'm also involved in politics.
Anyways, I'm not going to do anything to worry you.
I'll make sure not to.
I'll trust you to do that.
And what if you're not just another member of the family to Joon Ha?
I'm asking to see how you'd feel if that happened to be the case.
Just what if... he felt something else?
I'm just asking this as a 'what if'...
What if... what?
If you betray my trust and cause trouble...
I'm really going to make you resign this time.
When my brother and sister-in-law passed, I made them a promise.
That I would take good care of you and Bo Ri.
Help me keep my promise to them.
But still... treating me the same as Bo Ri isn't right.
You can only hope to be as good as Bo Ri.
Just in case, put a warm compress on your ankle when you go to bed.
Okay, goodnight.
I knew that you'd be waiting.
I didn't wait out here because I wanted to see you.
But I'm curious about something.
I... wanted to try to resolve that.
Listen closely.
Because I will explain everything for you.
The more you come around Min Young, the more her political career...
Why are you being so dull, Adviser Song?
Isn't this what you were curious about?
The reason why I'm so adamantly against the idea of you around her.
Yeah, you're right.
But... I'm not talking about things like that. Your real reason.
- That's what I'm curious about. - What?
You...
- I've got you now. - What nonsense are you talking about?
As her adviser?
As her family member?
Let's stop kidding around.
You...
You're the one with the ulterior motives for Noh Min Young.
That's enough.
As long as Min Young remains in politics...
neither you or anyone else will be able to touch her.
What about you?
- You're allowed? - Listen to me carefully.
If you keep being like this...
I told you that I've got you, so why do you keep insisting on being a dud?
Is Noh Min Young aware of your ulterior motives?
I'm sure she's not.
Deceiving her...
What kind of a rude behavior is this?
Let go of me right now.
- That's why you should shut your mouth. - Is what I said wrong?
I got you on the mark.
And that's why you're flipping out.
I'm different from you.
Keeping Min Young's heart at peace...
and making sure she doesn't get hurt or damaged...
in this spiteful political world is my priority.
Those are my true intentions for her.
So, shut your mouth.
Is this you admitting it?
Don't worry.
Because I'll never... tell Noh Min Young about your feelings.
How about letting go of me?
I don't want to have to waste my energy on you.
You...
could get hurt.
You can't even do anything if you don't have your kendo sword.
- You'll be the one getting hurt. - We'll both let go on the count of three.
One, two...
Don't touch her.
Don't touch her, or me.
That dumb idiotic fool.
Do you find me that trifling and unimportant?
[Alien]
I'll trust you.
The person you are trying to reach cannot be connected, so please leave a message.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Please call me.
After barely getting the legislature to pass...
how many months has it been stuck on on pending status at the judiciary committee?
We're not the ones who's argued to do all this at free of charge.
You know that budget issues aren't that simple, Rep. Go.
If we keep doing all that for the welfare, and spend the nation's money carelessly
we're going to drive the economy down to the ground.
Then you should've come up with a realistic plan from the beginning
and have a backup plan before you made them all those promises.
Going back and forth like this, it's like we're toying with the public.
If the funds are that low...
we should add to the means by cutting down on our annual allowance or something.
Even your promises to cut down on the taxes, you're all ignoring the promises you made.
Do you think we're using that money for our personal use?
- We use those funds to improve the nation. - Of course, we do.
No one even buys us a meal anymore for being a national representative.
- We have to pay for everything ourselves. - That's what I'm saying.
That's exactly what I'm saying!
Back in the olden days, it really meant something to be a representative.
But these days, it really means nothing.
Oh my... then why aren't you quitting?
When you can't take any of that annual allowance for yourself...
and you receive no preferential treatment, and all you get in return are insults.
But why is it that not a single one of you is talking about quitting
and everyone's so worried about getting re-elected for another term?
That's true. What you said is right.
Rep. Moon!
Are you trying to become more like Rep. Kim Soo Young?
How can you say something so insulting as that?
Rep. Go...
What is it, Rep. Moon?
I'm going to Doctor Cha's wedding the day after tomorrow.
- When I go... - Anything else, Rep. Moon?
- What? - You've raked me over enough about my ex.
It's not going to work anymore, so go find yourself a new tactic.
Got it?
That's not what I was going to say.
I was going to suggest that we take all the representatives from our office...
and crash the wedding to eat all the food without gifting any money to him.
She is so quick to jump to conclusions.
- Hello. - Hello, Rep. Noh.
I... have something to consult you about. Do you by any chance have any time?
It's not urgent, right? Then, let's do it some other time.
- It... it could be urgent. - Even if it's urgent, let's do it later.
What kind of a hair style is that?
What's wrong with my hair now? All that matters is that I like it.
What do you mean, all that matters is that you like it?
It should look good for others.
Why, you ask?
In this world...
rather than your own satisfaction, your own opinion or selection...
how other people views you is more important.
You have to live in the fear of what others thinks of you and how they view you
and live in constant reminder of that.
By the way...
The thing I came to see you about last night?
When did you come to see me last night?
Ah... yes, of course.
That... wasn't about a personal matter.
It was about a political matter about which I needed your fair and critical judgment on.
Did you two fight again?
This isn't fighting. I'm punishing her right now.
Even though it was for a brief moment...
I even considered becoming a rogue politician for her.
Anyways...
Wrongdoings must be corrected, and proper punishments should be given.
Don't you think our society is in disorder because we don't do that?
Just like the way eradicated themselves of the Nazis
we should've eradicated ourselves of all the collaborators...
but since we couldn't do that, that woman is ignoring, disrespecting me.
But... what am I saying right now? Huh?
You're expressing to me right now that you're really pissed with Rep. Noh about something.
Yes, I'm pissed.
Then punish her.
- Excuse me? - You've been too forward all this time.
What's the word young people use these days? Playing hard to get?
Pushing and then pulling away.
It's a ploy all men and women uses.
You want me to resort to that pathetic ploy?
Yes.
If you happen to have some time now, can we talk about...
[I'm sorry, Rep. Kim...]
[Can you stop being angry and talk to me?]
Let me get the door for you.
With the amended bill regarding the pre-deliberation of music videos...
have been demolished. We don't know what will happen from now on
we need to think about how this bill could affect the creative content of the videos.
Even the music video, 'Gangnam Style' which has taken the world by the storm...
we need to remember that the ratings was calculated before the amended bill was passed.
Ah... Gangnam Style?
You're talking about that horse dance video, right?
I learned how to do that dance. Shall we all dance it together?
It would be better to co-host a policy conference over this.
If we and the Minority Party, along with you work together to correct the small business...
When have you and I ever discussed small business issues together?
I've never bothered myself with small business issues before.
You've been working hard on those issues lately.
I guess I must've been feeling some sort of a yo-yo effect out of the blue.
But thanks to someone, I've lost all my motivation.
Am I being too harsh?
No. It's not too harsh.
He really is being too harsh. How catty and petty!
Why are you all worked up again?
I had something really great happen.
It's a good thing it happened. I had to get rid of him anyways.
How nice is it that he got rid of himself on his own?
I should be thanking him instead.
Where's Adviser Song?
He's not here right now. Why don't you tell me instead?
No thanks.
Did you see the interview article?
Not bad, was it?
Why don't we talk, Reporter Ahn?
Why?
You'll find out.
Why are you... Oh my goodness! What are you doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Since others may hear us outside, let's talk here where it's safe.
I didn't distort the article this time...
No, I know I didn't. So why are you being like this right now?
You didn't bring a fire extinguisher with you, did you?
Why bother carrying that around?
When everything in your surrounding could be used as a tool.
You said something really vile last time when we were doing the interview, right?
That whole nonsense about Joon Ha and I.
Ah... what about it?
I've been raised to ask questions if I'm curious about something.
Even if you are curious, don't ask anything from now on.
Why? Asking is my prerogative.
But your intentions aren't good.
Aren't you just trying to make things uncomfortable between Joon Ha and I?
Don't you know what an awful joke that you're trying to play?
Look here, it's the total opposite.
I was just trying to help you two...
Forget it.
- So dumb-witted. - Who?
- Me? - That's right. You!
You just try to keep this up.
I'm going to sincerely oppose and object to you.
I'm going to show you what an awful sister-in-law I can be!
Do what you want!
Move!
What is she trying to do in this cramped space?
No, this and this...
Is Joon Ha not back yet?
Just where in the world is he?
I'm not sure.
What's with this office?
Your office is the only one who treats a reporter so carelessly like this.
You know that? Huh?
I can't stand her.
I think she likes Adviser Song.
Confess your feelings to him before she steals him away!
Hey!
I'm so pissed!
Why am I still so angry even after going a round with Reporter Ahn?
Ugh, I'm so angry.
If needed, we should amend the legislature to take a strong disciplinary actions.
Just look at the last incident we had with Rep. Noh Min Young from GKP.
She refused to apologize to the public as ordered by the Ethics Committee...
yet she's continuing on with her activities with no sanction at all.
You're right.
How can she be so shameless! Don't you agree?
I couldn't agree with you more.
If that's what we need to do
we need to do that in order to bring back the discipline which has gone missing.
- I agree with you as well. - Huh?
Her act of violence within the parliament.
Her refusal to comply with the reprimands made by the Ethics Committee.
They're very big issues. We need to take disciplinary actions.
Forbidding her to participate in meetings. And if needed, force her to resign.
Now that we're on the subject...
Sexual harassment allegations, making sexist remarks...
or any scandals involving members of the parliament...
Insulting comments, and scathing characters remarks and such when speaking of others...
those members also needs to be firmly disciplined and have their badges taken away.
Now that I take a look around...
I see a few whose badge should be taken away immediately.
What are you doing?
I didn't think I'd get a chance to talk to you unless I did this something like this.
I'm so frustrated that I feel like my insides are going to explode.
What is this?
What kind of a brutish behavior is this?
How can you be so petty?
I told you that I was sorry.
Whether it be an apology or an excuse, you should give me a chance and hear me out.
We have a mountain of issues that we need to resolve together.
What are you trying to accomplish by continuing to avoid me like this?
Granted... I was wrong to do what I did the other day.
But there were unforeseen circumstances...
and that's why things ended up the way it did.
When have I ever taken you to be trifling or unimportant?
How could you say such a thing?
Are you finished?
Then...
is it my turn now?
No... I'm not finished yet. So, what I'm saying is...
I was hoping you'd stop being angry, and maybe we could reconcile.
How... am I to stop being angry?
When the more I think about it, angrier I feel about it.
So, how am I supposed to stop being angry?
Noh Min Young.
You really are one caring person.
You talk about the citizens of this nation every day and care for them.
You care for those around you as well as Song Joon Ha.
But only once you're done caring for everyone else in this world, do you finally see me.
I always come last as an afterthought.
You think that I'm a trifling joke, seeing me hang myself all over you.
- It's not... like that. - Because of that, I feel so angry!
And I want to continue to stay angry like this.
But the thing that infuriates me even more is...
is the fact that it's too difficult to remain angry.
Let me get the door for you.
Under the obscurity of the current system ensuring the protection of our youth...
I believe that we need to review and see if things are being gravely overlooked.
In other words...
I'm either pretty close to insanity...
or even if it's not that, whatever it is, I'm not normal.
What do you think about my current condition?
Do you admit that you're partly responsible for the state that I'm in right now?
- Well... maybe just partly... - Just answer me yes or no.
Yes.
What happened the other night... what you did was wrong.
Right?
- Yes. - Are you sorry about it?
- Yes. - Fine.
- Then just admit it, and let's start dating. - Yes. What?
Okay. You've given me your answer.
- What was that? - What do you think it was?
I've confessed to you twice now, and you've given me your answer.
- This is a total scheme! - What do you mean, a scheme?
How can this be a scheme? You've already given me your answer.
What is this? Why is the door locked?
Do you have a key for the door?
Wait here, I'll go get it.
Noh Min Young... didn't buy it.
Buy what?
Whether you were just a family member, or a man to her...
I tried to fish it out of her.
But, she didn't bite.
- Ahn Hee Sun, you seriously... - Seriously what?
Exposing others' feelings according to your own whim...
is a form of violence and bullying.
And let's just say that it worked and you got Min Young out of your way.
You think that's going to make Kim Soo Young come to you?
Min Young as number one, and you as number two...
this isn't some kind of line that you wait for your turn in with a number in hand.
I know that, too.
You already made me realize that in the past.
That number two will always remain a number two.
That whenever you get the opportunity...
you'll go off to number one.
I am sorry about that.
Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?
It's something that happened ten years ago.
That hurts my pride even more.
All sorts of memories are coming back to me.
When are all these cherry blossoms ever going to wilt and die off?
So, you're saying that Kim Soo Young is doing something in secret with...
Leader Woo of the Minority Party?
- That's exactly what I'm saying. - I can't believe Leader Woo either.
What is he thinking?
- Is he trying to steal Rep. Kim away? - I prayed earnestly that would be the case.
What is he planning on using Kim Soo Young for?
Kim Soo Young can be pretty smart.
And the Minority Party must think that head of his is just being wasted.
Yeah, that's it.
Anyways... Leader Go didn't really react to the news when I told him.
He just asked if I was being serious and that was it.
I guess he doesn't really care if someone like Kim Soo Young leaves the party or not.
Right? Don't you think that's the case?
Kim Soo Young that jerk... we should've kicked him out a long time ago!
Why are you being so nice about it?
I'd have no other wish in this world if he'd just get lost from my sight.
What time is it anyhow?
Oh my... I have an appointment to go out and meet some people from my district.
- Why don't we go together? - Let's just all go.
Are you practicing on your handshake?
I'm working very hard on it, but I don't think it's as good as his is yet.
It's not as easy as it looks.
When it comes to handshakes, the gentleness...
and the firmness needs to be equal and work together in harmony.
- You should really practice. - Yes, I understand.
- Let's go. - Do you get it now?
His hand is so gentle.
What was that noise?
- Leader Go! - Leader Go?
Are you on your way to lunch right now?
The business you had that day...
wasn't it about signing up with the Minority Party?
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
I haven't given it much thought yet.
But enough about that.
We need to finish up what we were talking about.
I...
want to push it off for now.
Because I can't choose.
This time and place I'm in right now where I'm perching on this ledge...
I want to drag it out a little bit longer.
The best I can do right now...
is this.
Okay.
Then... let's do the best we can while staying perched on this ledge.
So, have you decided to just keep remaining on the sidelines like this?
Min Young is doing her best right now.
- Let's not provoke her. - I'm giving it my best as well.
I'm barely suppressing down my urge to stomp Noh Min Young to the ground.
I understand that you are and that's why I'm comforting you.
Then what about you?
Who understands you and comforts you?
[My feelings about this guy: Body- Yes; Head- No; Heart- Yes.]
What do I do?
Now that I've finally decided to start a relationship...
why is it so difficult?
I've been watching to see what they're going to do with the bills Moon Bong Shik stole...
but they've messed with it so much that I think it's going to fall apart.
Even if we submitted it under our name, I'm sure the result would've been the same.
Let's be honest, it probably would've been much worse.
Speaking of the devil...
- Rep. Go... - What is it, Rep. Moon?
I went to Doctor Cha's wedding a couple of days ago...
Do you want a beating?
Can you let me finish what I was going to say for once?
What I was saying was...
the bride was totally subpar.
She looked like some starving person from Africa.
I thought I'd hurt her just by touching her because she's nothing but skin and bones.
And even though she may be in her twenties, she looks much older than that. Right?
Yes, well...
Also, I didn't even gift them any money...
and took him along and ate two steaks each. Isn't that right?
- Yes, I did have two. - See? He said he had two.
So, what's your point?
Are you asking me to thank you or compliment you?
That's not it.
I just wanted to tell you that's what happened.
But what I'm really curious about is whether I really am invisible to Rep. Noh or not.
Oh... hello.
You're not saying hello to me... that was you telling me to go away.
He calls that an apology?
He really is a piece of work.
Excuse me?
Did you mean me? I'm a piece of work?
What's wrong with you? Huh?
I don't like interrogating people...
and even though I meddle in the small things, I don't meddle with the big stuff.
But I think I need to meddle in this.
You're walking around like a ghost.
Rep. Go, the thing is...
Yes, tell me.
For example...
you and I would never wear fur or anything like that, right?
And we don't use any cosmetics that's animal tested either.
Of course, not! Not when I'm a mother to a cat.
I can't accept animal cruelty.
But... what if your best friend works at a fur coat company?
They spend all day making fur coats.
And she even asks why fur coats are such a bad thing.
Then do you think it's possible to remain best friends with that girl?
This was just an example. Totally hypothetical.
You've... got yourself a dilemma, don't you?
Yes.
It's a huge dilemma.
The gender of that hypothetical best friend of yours...
it's not a girl, but a boy, isn't it?
Excuse me?
No, no.
I'm not going to force you to say anything.
But...
if you happen to be just another average person, then it's okay.
It's alright to have a fur coat wearing friend.
But if...
you happen to be the leader of a party where there are only two representatives...
then it's not okay.
the reason being...
a party that's barely hanging on to survival...
they could easily lose their supporters and crumble down to the ground.
Come here, sweetie.
It must be so difficult.
[Fire extinguisher]
Hello?
Um...
if you're free at all today, can we get together for a bit?
What... is it about?
Well, I just...
wanted to get together.
No, there's no reason why we can't.
How about dinner? Are you craving anything?
Not a restaurant. How about somewhere quieter?
I thought we could talk.
- Can you think of a place? - A quiet place?
My house?
Not that.
How about my kendo studio?
We can go there while it's empty.
That sounds fine.
Then text me the time and the address.
Okay, I'll do that.
You know something?
You initiating the call to ask me to meet up with you...
this is the first time you've ever done that.
Then, I'll see you later.
What's wrong with me?
Let's concentrate.
You're here.
You should've let me know that you were here.
What is this?
Are you laughing at me?
It's just that I'm feeling under the weather a bit, but I'm usually...
It's not like that.
You brag all the time about being a kendo master...
and I see that it wasn't a total lie. That's why I was smiling.
What would you like to drink?
When I do anything at all... I tend to make sure to do it right.
It's good.
I don't stop with the tea. My coffee tastes like a barista made it.
Really?
Even my cooking...
once a person has a taste of it, they marvel that I cook like a chef.
Really?
If you're lucky... I'll make you a full course dinner sometime.
I'm grateful just to even hear you say that.
What do you mean, just the words?
Are you turning me down again?
Kim Soo Young.
I...
like you.
But?
But...
No matter how much I ponder and think about it...
I can't seem to gather up my courage.
If I start to openly like you and date you...
people are going to think that I'm a fake.
Everything I've ever said, and everything I've ever done...
even though they may not have been much...
I did come a long way in my own way.
But all my efforts are going to become fake.
Are those things...
more important to you than yourself?
A combination of all those things is what makes me who I am.
That's why I...
I can't think about just me.
I'm sorry... and thank you.
After... all I've done to push you away...
you still kept pursuing after me, and didn't give up.
Shut it.
None of the words you're saying right now are any comfort to me.
Since you feel bad and grateful towards me...
did you think that I'd be touched and send you away in a beautifully heart wrenching farewell?
Letting each other go because we love each other...
did you think that this was going to be like a cheesy TV drama?
No. I still... can't understand you.
No matter what others may say...
All that matters is that you know the truth, isn't it?
Because what I hear right now is that you're saying you're going to live a fake life...
because you're afraid of others calling you a fake.
Think whatever you want.
How can you just leave like this?
Even though I was already aware of it... you really do have a way with words.
Kim Soo Young... you've nailed it.
Everything you've said is right.
And if I just did as you say I should do?
My political career would be over.
No, let's just say that part is not the issue.
What if my action causes harm to my already fragile party and the members?
After causing all that damage...
I'm sure you and I can be happy together without a care to anyone else, is that right?
Okay.
We can't think about each other's position, no... I'll think about your position again.
Forget it!
I was hoping that we could shoot a poignant and beautifully heart wrenching drama...
and we said goodbye to each other...
but I think this suits us perfectly.
Nothing was even started, so there's nothing for us to finish!
That's why I'm telling you to forget it!
[Leader Go]
What's wrong with my Min Young that not a single person wants to go out with her?
Stop with all that absurd conditions, and match her up with some normal people.
I'm hanging up!
Why is she being treated like a street thug because of one fire extinguisher incident?
It wasn't even that big of a deal.
Aunt...
You're... you're here.
Normal people... don't even want to go on a blind date with me?
No, that's not what that was about.
What are they saying is wrong with me?
What have I done that's so wrong that they won't even go on a blind date with me?
Why is everyone doing this to me? What do they want from me?
Why are you crying?
Give me some chicken.
That's enough, stop eating. How many chickens are you planning on eating?
- Your stomach hasn't exploded yet? - It hasn't exploded.
Tell me the truth. What happened?
Did you cause trouble again?
Did those no good representatives tell you to resign again?
It's not like that.
Then tell me what happened. Tell me and we can talk it out.
If you keep it bottled up inside you, you can make yourself sick!
The subcontracting law has been proposed to the judiciary committee...
so why don't we wait a bit longer?
- Thank you. - Yes, goodbye.
Are you going to keep sitting there like that?
I don't want to go home, I have nothing to work on...
and I don't have any plans so I have nowhere to go to either.
What else am I to do?
Should I just put a clean end to my unrequited love for Soo Young?
- You think you can do that? - Who knows?
Why don't you end it with me?
You know how you hear that when you want to quit smoking...
it's much more effective to quit with those around you than trying to quit alone.
Why? Don't you think it's a decent idea?
Having a partner in crime makes it less lonely
and you have someone to spend all your extra free time with.
Your phone's ringing.
Yes, aunt.
Min Young is?
Okay, I'll do that.
What about Noh Min Young now?
She just told me that Min Young is about to eat through a whole squad of chickens.
Squad?
What's that?
It's something in the army. It's a level lower than the platoon.
I'm sorry, but I think I have to get going.
I'll think about what you said earlier.
What the heck is this?
- When did you arrive? - Just now.
That looks good.
Okay if I eat the rest?
So... have you thought about it?
I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to think about it.
I'm sure you have.
With building your relationship with the Minority Party...
and trying to get closer with Rep. Noh Min Young of the GJK and all.
Don't you know the day and age we live in? Illegal surveillance isn't a good idea.
You should be more careful. You don't want to get caught, do you?
Because if I get any evidence, I'm going to expose you on everything.
How can you treat my warm concern for you so cruelly like that?
I'm not the one you should be so warmly concerned about...
but it's the citizens that you should be concerned about like that.
Since you're the leader of a major ruling party.
You definitely have become more entertaining than you've been in the past.
Is it because of Rep. Noh?
Just... what is it that you're imagining?
- What do you think I'm imagining? - Not sure.
There's a saying that goes like this.
Give me one letter. Then, I can turn everyone into a sinner.
Don't humiliate yourself by quoting someone like that.
I know that myself. I know that he's an awful bastard.
But what he said isn't wrong.
The most entertaining thing you can do in this world...
is to lure and steal someone away, isn't it?
Don't you agree?
That sounds... like a threat to me.
Listen to you... how could you think that!
Let's stop with the unpleasantries, and have some drinks and finish our dinner.
Let's do that.
You can go on home now.
If you want to be alone tonight, Bo Ri can come spend the night at my place.
No, it's okay.
Thank you, Joon Ha.
Thank you.
- For not asking me about what happened. - Why? Did something happen?
I didn't ask anything because I didn't know.
- That wasn't funny. - Right?
That's my one and only weak point.
Get some rest.
Bye.
Bo Ri...
- Want me to sleep on here with you? - Why?
- Are you feeling lonely again? - Maybe a little.
It hasn't even been that long, but why are there so many memories?
It's nothing, Bo Ri. Go back to sleep.
- What's on the schedule for the day? - Ah yes...
My lord... have you had some sort of change in your heart?
- Your hairstyle is a little... - What do you do in order to gain strength?
Excuse me?
Ah, yes...
You just need to gain the favor of the members in your party.
Because then... they'll share the strength that they have with you.
If that happens, you'll have people looking up to you as their leader again.
Because they'll be looking to you to share some of your strength with them.
Isn't that what power is?
- Anything else besides that scraps of power? - I'm not sure...
What else could there be...
How about gaining the support of the nation's citizens?
Are you telling me to butter up to the citizens?
If buttering up is all it takes to gain the support of the citizens...
then Rep. Moon Bong Shik would be in first place for the amount of support he receives.
That's so true. Rep. Moon would definitely be in first place!
Shut off your listening ears, and shut the door behind you on your way out.
Do you want to gain strength and power?
Well, just as an insurance sake...
it wouldn't hurt any to have some, don't you think?
But for the immediate time being...
I guess the quickest way would be to share some of that scrap of power.
- You may leave. - Yes.
Okay.
You've made the right decision, Rep. Kim.
Where are you going?
I'm going to get some fresh air, and stop by the library.
[Kim Soo Young]
It's only been a day. Don't regret it already.
What is it?
Why the call for someone who said he couldn't even stand to see my name on his caller ID.
Since you've been threatening me persistently all this time...
I thought it would only be right that I report this to you.
You're right.
Noh Min Young and I...
There are too many issues standing in our way.
That's why...
I've sorted out my feelings for her.
My feelings for her... I've gotten rid of them.

I'm thinking of putting together a small group with a cause
and putting it in Rep. Kim's charge.
Are you trying to get petty revenge just because I didn't accept your feelings for me?
Yeah. I'm thinking about getting petty revenge.
- You're a piece of crap! - That's right, I'm a piece of crap.
Has something happened?
- Did you end things with Rep. Noh? - I've come to my senses.
There was nothing to even end with Rep. Noh.
You awful human being!
I'm humiliated to death about having fallen for someone like you even for a moment!
- You piece of crap for a human being! - As promised, this is my third confession.
And this is your last chance.
- I... - Think about it carefully before you answer.
This is the first time in my life that I've given my all to anyone else other than myself.
