[I understand]

“Teao back like this?”
“No way We cao back empty handed”
“But they aren’t even willing to meet us It wasn’t like this when I came… To think that they won’t even show their face… These people are too much”

“It’s indeed stifling, but what can we do? It’s us who’s disappointed”
“Then what do we do now? Do we go back?”
“We unsheathed the sword, so we have to at least cut some radish Shall ait over there?”

“You did bring work, right?”
“Yes, of course Just in case…”
“Then let’s do some work over there We can meet Producer Yokozeki later”
Manager Han JungSuk felt stifled at KangYoon who said he would wait even though he was refused at the door, but at the same ti will and stubbornness to succeed
The tent inside the café took out so outside from time to time
‘What is the reason?’
