1. "...kang sera?"

1. That voice...

1. "Hong..."

1. "Hong mihyang...?" 2. "!!.."

1. "Why are you... Here?"

1. "Because I'm a prof-"

1. "Hello!" 2. "Are you"

1. "The new part-time administrative assistant?!" 3. "Over here! Over here!" 4. "Oh, yeah...!"

1. "Looks like you two already know each other?" 2. "What?" 3. "I saw you happily saying hi just now..."

1. "So I figured maybe you..."

1. "Knew professor hong mihyang." 2. "Uh..." 3. "Um..."

1. "..." 2. "She used to be"

1. "She used to be my student."

1. "Didn't think I'd run into her during break." 2. "I'll head back then," 3. "Thanks for your hard work."

1. "Bye~" 3. "Damn it..."

2. Of all times, I had to run into her when I'm this pathetic...

2. "I've already followed the vice president's instructions..." 3. "And arranged ms. Sera's workplace right by professor hong mihyang's lab."

1. "Well done."

1. "I was planning to get professor hong and sera back together," 2. "But I didn't expect sera to walk right in on her own..."

1. "It's not just a rumor." 2. "That makes things much easier."

1. "Hong mihyang..." 2. "She's ms. Kang sera's ex-girlfriend, and also a full professor at s university..."

1. "Doesn't that make them quite far apart in age?"

1. "That doesn't sound like something you should be commenting on, does it?" 2. "..."

1. "Sorry..." 2. "It's fine, I was just joking."

1. It's not exactly some grand tale, 2. It's just that sera's grades weren't good enough back then to get into s university,

1. "So professor hong helped her out a lot."

1. After the entrance exams, professor hong also took on a guardian-like role, 2. And maybe sera fell for her over time because of that, and they eventually became lovers. 3. That's pretty much their story...

1. "Not even realizing she's just someone who follows seseong group's orders-" 2. "How foolish..."

1. More than a love relationship...

1. "It almost feels more like mother and daughter, doesn't it?"

1. "Wait..."

1. "Sera," 2. "Come eat."

1. "J-joohee..." 2. "Are you okay?"

1. "You've looked really tired lately." 3. "Seems like you've been going to work even earlier than before. Did something happen?"

1. "Well, lately our living expenses have been a bit tight," 2. "So I picked up another part-time job."

1. "I just started it, so it's a little exhausting."

1. "I'll get used to it once some time passes anyway..." 2. "..." 3. "Joohee, I have something"

1. "To tell you," 2. "Actually..."

1. "I've started working." 2. "What? Really?"

1. "Did you just say you found a job?"

1. "What is your job?" 2. "An administrative assistant at the s university."

1. "My aunt was the one who recommended me for the job." 3. "You're already working so hard it doesn't seem right if I'm the only one having a good time."

1. "I don't know how much help I can really be..."

1. "Of course it helps a ton" 2. "I never expected you'd take the initiative to help out with household expenses." 3. "Honestly, I have been a bit"

1. "I have been a bit tired lately..." 2. "But you already spent so much money on me before..." 3. "If I act like I'm worn out, I'd feel too guilty." 4. "Sera, thank you."

2. "I'm really happy now."

1. "Joohee..."

1. "Let's work hard together and get through this rough patch!" 2. "Let's go!" 3. "Let's go!" 4. "Yeah!" 5. "Seeing you happy makes me happy too!"

1. Happiness. 2. Getting a job was the right call.

1. This time I absolutely cannot get fired. I have to hold onto this job for a long time! 2. For a long time... 3. "...kang sera?"

1. No, wait, why do I even care about

1. "Hong mihyang?!" 2. "There's nothing between us!" 3. "?" 5. "Just treat her like air! Air!"

1. Being a university administrative assistant isn’t bad.

1. Just like her sister said, the work is simple and I can get off on time. 2. Even my coworkers are all really nice.

1. Are all really nice... 2. "It's great..." 3. "Although everything is great..."

1. I still can't shake this feeling... 2. I'm so restless...!!!

1. "I'm so restless!!!!!!" 2. "Because I'm broke, I have nothing to do when I get home from work!" 3. Joohee keeps saying she's tired and just crashes right away...
