Mrs Min:You take to long to respond  and time is not on my side today  .You need to get ready for work.

Yeona:I work just down the street I don't need to wake up this early I always make it in time.

Mrs Min:That's not what Mrs Cha said

Yeona :ARGHH that hag is so annoying ,why does she always come snitching to you.

Mrs Min : Maybe it's  because you always threaten her ...anywho I'm late bye

Yeona: I don't even know why you're still going to work its not like anyone is living there ,you could just clean once a week they'll never know.

Mom:I don't know when Mr Han might decide to come back so I can't be taking such risks ,I'm leaving now.Also I didn't make breakfast ,bye

She runs out leaving Yeona pissed

Yeona :(sulking ) Aish he comes first to mom even when he's not a round .I hope he never comes back.

She goes back to sleep

Mrs Min:What's happening here?

Mr Won:(smiling) You're finaly here ,I've been waiting for you ....(scratching his head)I didn't think about how  I  would break it to you

Mrs Min:(anxious)  Spill it out already

Mr Won:Mrs Min  I'm sorry to say this but you're out of a job

Mrs Min: What!

Mr  Won:(sad)H.S  just go bankrupt  ,and since this is a company house it's been liquidated. So everyone who was working here is now jobless. 

Mrs Min :What about Mr Han?

Mr Won : Well he's been using company cards so I don't think  he'll be able to afford the extravagant life he's been living  out there .It's high time he came back.

Mrs Min:(worried) Omo  what will the young master do.

Mr Won: Don't worry too much about him His grandfather left him a fortune  ,he might have trouble accessing it but once he gets past that hurdle he'll be just fine .

Mrs Min :And you? 

Mr Won :Well I've worked at H.S all my life but  the ship just sank and there's absolutely nothing I can do  so I'm moving back to my village with my savings  .I've always wanted to be a farmer  I guess I'll give that a go.

Mrs Min :Omo  ,what  will I do

Mr Won: It'll be okay you'll atleast get this months pay .If you need any  help in the future just get a hold of me...Well  I'm planning  on going off the grid until this scandal dies down so if you need me just come to my farm  ,(holds her hands )I'll  be waiting for you Mrs Min. I have to go clear my office  now .Goodbye

Mrs Min :Bye...

Mr Won  goes off  leaving Mrs Min  totally destroyed .She just sits by the gate  not knowing  what to do .

MEANWHILE...Yeona finally wakes up and yes ,she's late for work.She rushes to the bathroom , brushes her teeth then washes her face .

Yeona:(talking her reflection)  I'm not the first person to go to work without bathing ,sue me .

She changes into her uniform then tries masking herself with an excess amount of perfume.As there's  no time to eat she grabs an apple and runs down the street munching on it.She tries to sneak into the shop but Mrs Cha spots her

Mrs Cha:I thought you'd change once I spoke with my mother

Yeona:(acting tough) I thought I told you not to speak to my mother.

Mrs Cha:(chuckles)The nerve you have to say that to me ,who do you think you are!

Yeona: (acting cute) Min Yeona

Mrs Cha :(annoyed) I only hired you as a favor for your mom

Yeona:I only took the job for her sake .You know what... f*ck you ,your creepy  son and this crusty shop .I QUIT!

Mrs Cha:You little!..

Yeona storms out before Mrs Cha finishes her insult.

Cha Doyoung:She'll be back,did the same thing two  weeks ago

Mrs Cha:Its because you're always harassing her

Doyoung:(chuckles)Complimenting is not harassing, but you on the other hand are always shouting at her

Mrs Cha: (grabbing a slipper)What did you say!

Doyoung:(sarcastic)  Nothing mom you're perfect

MEANWHILE...At the  Han residency

The movers finish up  and drive off as the realtor is putting up the "for sale "sign.

Realtor: Umm ,ma'am you have to leave now .You're ruining the aesthetics of this beauty over here.

Mrs Min:I'm sorry , you see I've worked at his house for...

Realtor: (fake smiling) Sorry ma'am I don't have time for sad stories ,but you really have to get going.

Mrs Min :Oh...,I'll  leave  then

Yeona:(sulking) Not good, I'm jobless again

Sung-wo:That's never been an issue, you always seem to find a way .

Yeona:Yeah  but right now I really have nowhere to go .

Sung-wo:You could always come work with  me ,your spot is still reserved

Yeona: No ,I couldn't. Thanks for the offer though.

Sung-wo:(smiles)Huh,rejected for the 2nd time .

He receives  a call

Sung-wo:Ahh... Mrs Cha, I'm on my way with your delivery give me 5 minutes. (ends call)...Sorry I have to go

Yeona:It's okay,thanks for the pep talk.

Yeona: (sarcastic) Ouch that hurt

Yeri :Come over  ,I'll take you out for lunch.

Yeona: (smiling) You know I love  free meals,I'm on my way.

Yeona  makes her way to Yeri's  office and they go out to a nearby cafe.

Yeri :(teasingly) You're going for  the homeless look quite often these days

Yeona:Awe come on I don't look that bad

Yeri:(chuckles) If that helps you sleep at night

Yeon: (sulking) The worst part is I ran into Sung-wo looking like this

Yeri :Damn I'd die if my crush saw me like that

Yeona: You're not pulling  any punches today

Yeri:I learned from the best ,plus you did call our shop crusty and told my mom to f*ck herself  ,I have to get back at you somehow .

Yeona: (embarrassed) I might have gone a bit overboard ,I should think before I speak.

Yeri:You need alot of help dear Yeona or else one of these days I'll be checking you into a mental facility.

Yeona:Ouch ,did I come here just to get insulted

Yeri  :(teasingly) Yes to be insulted on a full stomach.

Yeona:Back in highschool you would've never been able to talk back to me,(petting her)My Little Yeri  has grown up well.

Yeri:Yes Master...anyway  how's your mom holding up

Yeona:(lost )holding up?

Yeri  :..With the whole H.S group being bankrupt   I figured she'd be out of a job

Yeona:(shocked) What!

Yeri:Which rock do your live under ,it's been trending since morning

Yeona:You know I don't keep tabs on what's happening in the world

Yeri :Awe yeah I forgot your world revolves around you

Yeona :Sarcasm has never been your strong suite

Yeri:Like you're any better ...You better check on your mom

Yeona :She's not picking up her phone

Yeri: (sympathetic ) She's worked there her entire life, it must really suck

Yeona:(worried) I'm so dead, how will I tell her I quit  my job now.

Yeri  :Just go back my mom will take you back in she always does

Yeona:I don't want to go back,I feel so bored in that little shop nothing exciting ever happens.I'll have to find something else to do...

Yeri: I hope you won't be going back to certain places you're not allowed to be .

Yeona:(chuckles) What!...,no... ,me.... there ,not in a million years.

2hrs later

Yeona is  on the floor begging the manager to  let her  in ,at the place she just swore she wouldn't go back to

Manager Kim: No!  I don't want you here,you cause way too much trouble !

Yeona:Awe come on!  I'm literally an angel.

Manager Kim: What will I do the next time your mom comes in and drags you out of a fight!

Yeona:She doesn't have to know,(whispering)  we can keep this between us.

Manager Kim: I'm not too sure about this

Yeona:Come on you know the crowd loves me

Manager Kim: They do...

Yeona:So can I come back ?

Manager Kim:On one  condition, if you mess up even just once I'm kicking you out.

Yeona:(excited) That's okay with me ,(cheerfully) can I start today?

Manager Kim:(annoyed ) Sure we've got some fights lined up ,I can squeeze you in

Yeona:(hugging him) I love you  manager Kim  ,I'll  be back  later

She runs off overly excited  and heads home. She buys her mom's favourite snack on her way.

Yeona: I brought some ttbeoki for supper ,heard you had a rough day

Mrs Min:(sulking) It was horrible, and the worst part is I can't get a hold of Mr Han  I wonder if he's doing okay.

Yeona: (annoyed) Mr Han ,Mr Han ! that's all you care about.Its hightime you woke up mom. You just lost your job ,but he's probably with his rich friends in some club in Europe right now. Wealthy people never   really suffer like we do.Its just you and me against the world ,forget about Taemin.

Mrs Min:(sad)You might be right .What are we going to do now.I don't have any savings left .

Yeona:Don't worry I'll take care of everything

Mrs Min:The money you make at your job at Mrs Cha' s shop won't be enough, I'll have to start looking for another job tomorrow.

Yeona:Don't worry okay ,take this time to rest .It's my turn to care for us.I already  got a second job.

Mrs Min:(surprised) What! where?

Yeona: (nervous) At ...Sungwo's,once I heard the news I knew I had to step up...

Mrs Min:(astonished) This doesn't sound like my daughter at all

Yeona:(smiling) I'm growing mom,I've been learning from my mistakes.

Mrs Min :(uncertain) Is that so?

Yeona: You should trust me , actually...i have to go my shift starts soon.

Mrs Min: At this hour ?

Yeona:Yes...I'm getting late now ,enjoy your meal

She rushes to her room before her mother can ask further questions, and a couple minutes later she runs out of the house with  bag

Yeona:I'll be back really late ...Bye I love you

Mrs Min:Something is off.

Yeona gets to the club  just as a fight is finishing

Manager Kim: (mad)You're late

Yeona:Sorry sir

Manager Kim: Start stripping you're going in next

Yeona:Who's my opponent ?

Manager Kim: Some new guy he started yesterday .

Yeona: Is he any good ?

Manager Kim: He's managed to beat every fighter we've got.

Yeona: (intrigued) Even Dragon ?

Manager Kim: Yes ...even him

Yeona:(excited) Well most of your fighters are trash, but Dragon  ...wow  ,I guess finally have an actual opponent who can give me a run for my money

Manager Kim : Goodluck  Tigress

Yeona:(smirking) I don't need luck

Yeona  gets inside the ring then 9 minutes later her opponent is carried out on a stretcher.

Yeona:(disappointed) I've gotten rusty
