TAE-O HAS SENT A STAMP

GOOD MORNING

Good morning, Yuri.

Have you woken up yet?

Good morning.

It was so cold last night.

Were you able to sleep well?

I hope you didn't catch a cold.

Did you have breakfast?

I'm making some right now.

TAE-O HAS SENT A PHOTO

TAE-O HAS SENT A PHOTO

What is it this time?

That looks so tasty.

I always have this

after a night of drinking.

I wish I could share some with you.

It's very cold outside today.

Keep warm and try not to catch a cold.

HAVE A GOOD DAY

This is…

kind of a lot.

Let's do our best.

Please wait for me!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Please treat me

like your boss at the office.

I'll only talk about work in the office.

Instead of saying Yuri,

I'll call you Boss.

U-Um, about those texts this morning…

We'll be in trouble if you say any more.

We're at the office.

"We're at the office…"?

What?

In the office,

our relationship is a secret.

Bye.

Wait!

Wait there.

Good morning.

It's not like that!

You've got it all wrong.

What was that?

Nothing.

Yes?

Take a look.

They are behind schedule by a week.

-Try giving them a call.

-Okay.

Tae-o, the Valentine's task

I gave you earlier--

Here it is.

-Thanks, you're so efficient--

-I'm working right now.

Do you need anything else, Boss?

That's okay. Thanks.

Understood!

The new coffee beans

from Colombia just came in!

-Is it really from Colombia?

-I'm positive.

We got three types.

It smells nice.

I wonder what it tastes like?

Let's all try some.

Then I'll--

Sorry.

I'm working right now.

Did his personality change?

It's weird how he acts

differently with the boss.

Could this be…

-Workplace harassment?!

-No!

-No?

-Huh?

-What do you mean?

-Boss?

-What were you saying "no" to?

-What?

-No.

-What?

-We're not done yet.

-Oh, right.

Right, right.

Boss?

Yes?

Oh, Tae-o, um…

Can we talk?

I-I'm working right now.

What is this?

Coffee is ready.

-Oh nice.

-Thanks.

-Thank you.

-Okay.

-Aihara, can you help?

-Yes.

Tae-o.

This smells amazing.

What? Where are they going?

Be careful.

Yes, I know.

At the office, I'm just an intern.

What?

What do you mean?

Huh?

Well um…

It's almost Valentine's Day.

Our workers tend to

work themselves too hard.

You should take care too.

So that's what you meant.

Thank you, I'll do my best.

Is there anything else?

Anything else?

Like what?

Things on your mind or any issues.

Issues?

Hanaoka told you too, right?

If things go smoothly, you sign with us.

Hanaoka doesn't go easy on people.

He'll cut out anyone who mixes

work and private affairs.

No, nothing at all.

There aren't any issues.

Really?

Everything's totally fine.

-Well then, keep it up.

-Okay.

That was close.

Really close.

-Aihara, thanks.

-Yup.

What happened?

Hanaoka?

What?

Why is she staring?

He'll find out about us.

I don't get it.

Hello, Dolce & Chocolat..

Yes.

Okay.

Um…

Hello, this is Aihara

from Dolce & Chocolat..

It's good to hear from you.

-Yes.

-I can't. Senpai.

Yes.

I really can't go over there.

Right…

Please.

Yes, excuse me.

Hurry up.

My apologies.

We got a call.

What?

They want us to participate in an event.

What?

A call about an event.

-A call about an event.

-An event? From where?

The Chocolat Festival.

Chocolat?

The Chocolat Festival?!

Yes.

Hello, this is Motomiya.

The Chocolat Festival

is finally calling for us.

What kind of festival is it?

A Valentine's Day fair that only invites

the crème de la crème of Japan's shops.

Crème de la crème?

He means the shops

are specially selected.

But it's being held

the week after next, right?

Yes, it seems the shop they originally

chose suddenly dropped out.

How lucky! I'm excited for us.

But we're only allowed to have

a booth on one condition.

A condition?

Before the day of the event,

we need to make a new limited-edition

product for just the event.

A new product?

We only have eight days.

Eight days? That's pretty tough.

But this is our chance

to reach out to new customers.

So, I want to accept their offer.

Any thoughts?

Will we make it in time?

I don't want to settle for

something second-rate.

Is it okay if I think up

some ideas for the new product too?

We need to do market research too.

I'll do everything I can

to think of a new product.

Okay then.

I'll re-examine our past recipes too.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

Okay, let's be efficient

and split the work.

Don't try to do it all alone.

-Okay.

-Okay.

All right, let's get to it.

How about this?

Our theme will be the Earth and diversity.

For example,

we'll make animal-shaped chocolate

and use salt-flavored chocolate

to represent marine life.

Well, it's a good idea,

but unfortunately it's missing the most

important thing for Valentine's Day.

The most important thing

for Valentine's Day?

Well, if I had to say it

in one word… Romance?

Romance?

That's true.

This chocolate should give you

a bit of courage.

It must empower you

to tell your crush how you feel.

That kind of romantic energy is important.

Nishina, do you have time?

-Yes, I'll go now.

-Okay.

Excuse me.

"Your crush"…

You have someone you like too, right?

What?

Soondubu. Sea otters. Saranghaeyo.

There's a lot of evidence here.

No, it's not like that.

It's this part here.

Can you check the writing?

Sure.

I can't tell what he's thinking at all.

Romance. Confusion. Anxiety.

Overflowing passion.

Intense jealousy.

Yuri, love is just like chocolate.

Okay.

You don't get butterflies

from predictable flavors.

That unpredictability

is why you get curious,

frustrated, and want to know more.

And when you can't hold back

your curiosity anymore…

You just gotta try it.

How is it? Sweet? Bitter?

Did something happen, Tae-o?

You seem down.

I'm really tired.

Is it that hard being an intern?

The work is fun.

The people at the office are nice too.

But…

But?

Is it what I think it is?

Yes.

It's love. I've fallen in love.

-That's what this is?

-Love?

Is that true, Tae-o?

Seriously? What kind of person is she?

She looks really happy when she eats.

She's scary when she's hungry,

but she's warm-hearted and kind.

Bravo.

That's magnificent, Tae-o.

Congratulations.

Sorry, I got so excited

that the humidity went up.

But it's not going well.

I'd actually like to get closer to her.

I want to have meals with her.

But, even after sending all those texts,

she doesn't reply to me.

How much is a lot?

About once every 15 minutes?

That's a bit…

Annoying.

Annoying? Is that a compliment?

No, I wouldn't say that.

Octopi reproduce only once in their life.

So, to grab hold of

their first and last love,

they must win a fierce fight and do

everything they can to show their charms.

Embarrassingly enough, I'm not well-versed

on human courtship behavior,

but your straightforward personality

is the most charming thing about you.

I know this well.

So, just like this octopus,

why don't you do as you always do,

and dive head first into that love?

Octopi?

Oh, what does she do?

She's a co-worker.

What?

Thank you. I'll do my best.

You're leaving?

Good work today!

Hey, Dad.

Has Mom ever given you

Valentine's Day chocolate?

Is this about the guy

you mentioned the other day?

No, that's different.

This is about work.

Aw, come on.

Isn't it obvious?

Hmm, let me think…

A spoon.

Spoon?

A spoon-shaped chocolate.

In return, she wanted my omurice.

She said that is the message

she wanted to convey.

For real? That sounds so cute.

But that's nice.

A message, huh?

Okay, I'm heading back now.

Yuri, don't push yourself too hard.

Yes, I know.

It's not all bitter.

It depends on you.

Rather than bitter, make it sweet.

Right?

Exactly.

I'll take you back. Here we go.

What does she do?

She's a co-worker.

A co-worker?

Yuri!

I bought some magazines.

Are you becoming

a hot spring sommelier next?

That's fine and all, but don't ask me

to bring back hot spring water.

What was that?

ONDOL EATERY

SOONDUBU

Here's your soondubu.

I made some earlier.

It'll energize you.

Here.

I could go for some soondubu.

Yes?

Hello?

What? Why're you here at this hour?

I thought…

you might still be working.

So I brought this.

-Here.

-What?

It's soondubu.

Soondubu.

God!

-No.

-Why?

We're mixing work and private life.

I knew it.

That's why you've been

acting strange all day.

Strange?

What part of me was strange?

All of it.

Well, I wouldn't say strange,

but I want you to act more normal.

Normal?

By that, I mean…

Just like you do with everyone else.

I can't do that.

Why?

I can't treat you like I treat them.

Boss…

Yuri, you're special to me.

Well then, I'll be off now.

You're leaving already?

I got these on the way here.

I picked these up.

Picked them up?

Goodbye, Boss.

He picked these up?

YURI MOTOMIYA

I ALWAYS HAVE THIS

AFTER A NIGHT OF DRINKING

HAVE A GOOD DAY

Maybe I'm annoying after all.

That was delicious.

THANK YOU.

YURI MOTOMIYA HAS SENT A MESSAGE

She texted me!

Thank you. The soondubu was very good.

I feel energized.

Thank you for the flowers too.

Those flowers are called Linaria.

Do you know what Linaria means

in the language of flowers?

"Language of flowers"?

Try looking it up.

Linaria.

Language of flowers…

LINARIA IN LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS

1. NOTICE MY LOVE FOR YOU

2. ILLUSION

That's how I feel.

She read it.

She read it.

Will she reply?

Will she send a reply?

"This is how I feel."?

1. NOTICE MY LOVE FOR YOU

2. ILLUSION

Which is it?

I don't know.

Language of flowers, huh?

Edible flowers?

If we sell chocolate

with edible flower toppings,

customers can choose based on

the message they want to convey.

It's perfect for Valentine's Day.

A message…

The language of flowers?

Yes.

For example, this red rose

means love and affection.

This one is respect.

Friendship.

Good luck.

Familial love.

This might let us express

feelings that are usually hard to share.

Thoughts?

Mahiro?

Sounds good. I'll make samples right away.

-Our suppliers and the packaging--

-I'll figure that out.

Let's get started.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Kame.

Tae-o, can you erase the board?

Okay.

-Thanks.

-Sure.

Thank you.

Welcome.

As a gift…

-Please take a look while you wait.

-This would suit you…

May we interest you in chocolate

modeled after the language of flowers?

HIBISCUS, NEW LOVE

Would you like some chocolate

with edible flowers on top?

We have samples!

We made it in time.

Give it a try.

Thanks to everyone's hard work.

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

Language of flowers?

I'd love to give this to my crush.

I'll work up the courage

to confess my feelings.

A red rose, please.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Nishina, order up.

-Thanks.

We're getting good reviews

on social media too.

Thank goodness.

I'm surprised such a romantic idea

came from Yuri.

-True.

-No, um…

Keep up the good work.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Please take one, if you'd like.

Maybe I'll buy one too.

But didn't you two break up?

Yes, so it's for whoever I meet next.

But Valentine's Day

is only ten days away--

That's more than enough time.

Then I'll buy this one.

What?

You have someone to give that too?

Yes, I do.

-You do?

-No way. Who?

That's…

a secret.

What? Hold on there. Why?

Tae-o.

Oh, Senpai, you're here!

Who is she?

She's a co-worker, right?

Oh, yeah. I'll introduce you.

Um…

This is our CEO and Mahiro.

Mahiro?

He's my senior at university.

Dr. Onoda.

Doctor?

Hello, nice to meet you.

Thank you for watching over Tae-o.

Nice to meet you.

Would you like a sample?

Please.

Oh, thank you.

HIBISCUS, NEW LOVE

Hibiscus?

Are these edible flowers?

Yes.

They mean "new love"

in the language of flowers.

New love?

I see.

Was it not to your liking?

Oh, it's not that.

I've never had chocolate this good before.

Thank you.

Well then, please take good care of Tae-o.

A doctor, huh?

I wouldn't mind that.

She seems nice.

Give it your best.

Okay.

Thank you so much

for taking on our request

on such short notice.

It's our pleasure.

We've always had our sights set

on the Chocolat Festival.

We're truly honored. Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Please enjoy.

This language of flowers

chocolates is lovely.

The customers loved them too.

I'm so glad we invited you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-We'll be in your care.

-Thank you.

We pulled it off.

What a relief.

I'm really glad.

We finally made it here.

Thank you, really.

I'll finish up here.

Head back to the office first.

Isn't there other work piling up?

Thanks, I'll leave it to you.

-Thank you.

-Please give it a try.

The coffee has an acidic taste,

so it pairs well with this chocolate.

I'm so hungry.

God?

Hanaoka.

-Good work today.

-Good work today.

Which do you want?

-Are you sure?

-You still haven't eaten, right?

Thank you.

Then let's do this fair and square.

Rock, paper, scissors…

sh**t!

Hooray! Then I'll take this one.

-Okay.

-Yup.

I'm so hungry.

Thanks for the food.

Our profits today

are the best we've ever had.

We gotta keep up the pace

until Valentine's Day.

But be careful.

You've always pushed yourself like that.

If you get sick,

it'll only cause me trouble.

Yes, I'll be careful.

Thank you, as always.

That's cute.

Yeah, it was a gift.

Is that where you got

the language of flowers idea from?

Oh, right.

It's thanks to these flowers.

Coming.

Good evening.

Why are you here, Boss?

This is from the other day.

I still haven't thanked you properly.

Thank you.

For the soondubu and the flowers.

The Chocolat Festival went well

thanks to you, Tae-o.

Thank you so much.

Bye, then.

Hold on!

I'll walk you home.

It's dangerous.

Okay, if you insist.

One second.

How is your health?

Hanaoka said everyone falls ill

when Valentine's Day comes.

I'm fine.

That's great.

I'm glad.

You're finally back to your usual self.

It's because this isn't the office.

Or is this considered the office?

Is this okay?

It's fine.

More importantly, I want you

to treat me normally at the office too.

I want you to call me Boss.

But other than that, I prefer

that you be your usual self.

Really? Is that really okay?

Yeah.

What a relief.

Honestly, I tried really hard.

It was really tiring.

Why'd you push yourself so hard?

I wanted to keep our secret.

Because I don't want to trouble you, Yuri.

Am I annoying?

No, not annoying.

Well, there were a lot of texts though.

How many times can I text you?

It's not about how many times.

Wait right here.

Here. This is for the soondubu.

Oh.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

This is delicious.

Ice cream tastes great

in the winter, doesn't it?

Yes, I know what you mean.

Can I…

ask for one favor?

I did my best.

I did my very best, so…

Yuri.

Please go on a date with me.

I understand that things are busy

right now, so once Valentine's Day ends,

I want to have a meal with you.

A meal?

Well, that much I can do.

Really?

Okay then.

Promise me.

Can I let go now?

No.

Please stamp your seal here.

My seal?

Follow my lead.

Now we've made a copy.

A copy?

This is how we do things in Korea.

This is what we do

when we make an important promise.

An important promise?

Now, let's do it again.

I wrote a sign on there too.

A sign?

What kind?

A secret sign.

Done.

Yaksok.

Yaksok?

A promise?

Make sure you remember, okay?

Thank you very much.

Things turned out great

because of your flowers.

Glad to hear it

Thank you so much.

Thank you.
