disease that can only be passed on
through fluids not by breathing the same
air but his parents still only visit him
once and don't stay long because of fear
of catching it jang hyuk's friends don't
visit him either they only send texts
and the other patients in the room also
try to stay away from him always asking
the doctors and nurses to keep the
curtain close around him not everything
is terrible however it's at this
hospital that jang hyuk meets to yoon a
nurse that is always gentle with him and
even wishes him luck by dropping a kiss
on his four bag
one evening jang hyuk leaves the room to
wander around the hospital and finds to
yoon by the stairs smoking a cigarette
he notices she has a ring on her finger
but she tells him it's just her
graduation ring she also tells him he's
lucky to have a permanent position at
his job unlike her who who's on a
contract and they work her like a dog in
two long shifts she's always tired and
that's why she's currently smoking to
try to stay awake their chat is suddenly
interrupted by the very strict head
nurse who comments on the smoking sodium
pretends the cigarette is jang hyuks and
scolds him for it before fleeing the
next morning she comes by to thank him
for helping her lie otherwise she would
have gotten in trouble
strangely she starts stealing food off
his plate which she doesn't mind but she
still freaks out about it when she
notices what she's doing deun apologizes
before leaving but not without warning
the other patients not to bully dejoon
later in the evening they share a drink
by the vending machine and wendy yoon
comes by his bed to check on him she's
so tired that she sleeps some seconds
next to him deyn's tiredness gets worse
when she quits coffee and smoking even
scolding jang hyuk when she finds him
with a cigarette and stomping on the
pack
seeing as she's so stressed jang hyuk
begins helping her have a better time at
the hospital he leaves support messages
on the screen of his phone steals his
roommate's expensive food to share with
her leaves her a spot on his bed for her
to nap and wakes her up before she can
be discovered pretends not to feel well
so she can take him out for air in a
wheelchair and they change places later
de un is very sweet to him in return
even putting stickers on his bandages
but one afternoon when he says there's
no freaking way he has a girlfriend the
union storms off saying she doesn't like
it when guys talk that way there's also
the issue of her not wanting her
co-workers to know about their growing
friendship so when jang hyuk tries to
talk to her when she's with the other
nurses or doctors she ignores him a few
days later the doctors say jang hyuk is
finally healthy enough to return home
and he gets sad because he won't see to
you and again
the night before leaving he steals some
flowers that were sent to a dead patient
and waits for diun to give them to her
but the one to do his evening checkup
ends up being the head nurse on his
final day at the hospital he wants to
say goodbye to her but he doesn't find
her and he ignores his parents when they
come to pick him up when he goes out for
dinner with his friends they tell him
the nurse must have been a hallucination
but deun doesn't give up
he goes back to the hospital and when he
doesn't find her there he tries to get
her phone number from her file but only
gets to memorize half of it before he
gets caught at home he tries a bunch of
phone numbers that start with the ones
he remembers and gets lots of wrong
answers until he finally uses the right
combination and de une picks up his call
she explained she took some days off
because she wasn't feeling well and
that's why he didn't see her at the
hospital so now that he knows she hasn't
been ignoring him jang hyuk tells her he
likes her to which deune responds by
inviting him to come to her apartment by
driving his dad's car jang hyuk quickly
arrives at her place and they have a
very awkward conversation before deun
invites him to stay the night since she
feels lonely they sleep while cuddling
and in the morning she wakes up to find
jang hyuk has changed the light bulb and
prepared breakfast so much kindness
makes her cry and she thanks jang hyuk
by pecking his lips stopping him from
making it deeper when he tries by
explaining it's not like that since then
they start hanging out together he takes
food to the hospital so she can have a
snack picks her up after work using his
father's car and gets jealous of the
other fatties she hangs out with takes
out the trash at her apartment and just
offers his company when she's feeling
stressed one day during lunch he can't
help noticing she's missing her ring but
she just says she lost it he also tells
her that once he gets his own place she
should quit her job since it stresses
her so much but she only replies with a
hug some days later someone to you knows
gives her a vacation package to jeju and
she invites jang hyuk to come with her
which he obviously accepts when they go
out shopping they try to get matching
shirts but they're too small for jang
hyuk which makes him jealous of the
couples that can wear them they also
stop by the macaron stand whose clerk
gives to unit discount for having come
before but jang hyuk doesn't eat any
because now he's feeling bad about his
weight the day of the vacation finally
comes and de une is waiting for him by
the airport entrance jang hyuk stops the
taxi just in time and runs toward her as
she waves at him diun has a surprise for
him a pair of sneakers which match hers
although she denies they are to replace
the matching shirts
jang hyun puts them on and promises
he'll use them to lose weight for her
then runs around a little bit to prove
it we suddenly cut to jang hyuk running
in the park showing him skinny and
healthy when he goes back to yoon's
apartment where they live together he
makes breakfast for both of them before
leaving for work taking out the trash on
the way out at the office his work tells
him he's being sent to a large
corporation under a temporary contract
and if he does well he may be hired
permanently this is an amazing
opportunity for him but the other
company is in seoul which isn't exactly
near incheon he tells this to you know
over lunch but they can't finish
discussing it because the other nurses
arrive and she doesn't want to be seen
with him especially when the nurses
think he looks familiar
some days later jang hyuk goes to pick
the unit work getting jealous of her fat
coworker he introduces her to the new
car he's bought and promises he'll
travel back and forth from seoul every
day so their lives don't have to change
he also gives her a new ring to replace
the graduation when she lost
on his first morning trip to work jang
hyuk laughs at the other men stuck with
him in traffic thinking they're stupid
for not having woken up early like he
does when he arrives at the office and
is introduced to the bosses he discovers
he isn't the only new worker under
contract on the team there's also bo
young a very competitive woman that
doesn't seem to like him very much
during lunch the permanent team doesn't
invite them to go with them and jang
hyuk is stuck with her as soon as he
gets home he begins complaining about
beau young today yoon who tells him he
just needs to try a bit harder to
impress his co-workers the following day
jang hype brings coffee for everyone but
under the excuse of helping him bo young
gives the cup to each co-worker and
doesn't give jang hyuk any credit for it
she also tells him he's working on the
wrong assignment which is a lie and
because he switches to another part of
the project he gets scolded for it later
that night he complains about her again
to do yoon not letting her tell him
about her own day and making her do all
the planning for their upcoming trip to
jeju when the time comes to present
their project to their bosses bo young
takes all the credit for the idea but
jang hyuk takes the chance to cut in and
say there's a design problem that will
cause the bridge to collapse
from then on he teases her for all the
extra work she has to do to fix it
enjoying the way she becomes a mess
under the stress and how he can leave
early while she stays doing extra hours
jang hyuk is still tired though so when
he arrives at the apartment after such a
long trip he barely gets to tell to yoon
hello before falling asleep the next
morning he doesn't get to see her
because she leaves before he does so
later on the phone they agree that
commuting is stressful and complicated
so from now on if he leaves work late
jang hyuk will stay at the place he's
renting in seoul and only travel back
during the weekends bo young becomes a
bigger and bigger mess every day she
stays in the office overnight keeps
falling asleep during work hours
overeats and since she can't wash her
clothes have tons of stains her hair has
crumbs and she stinks when jang hyuk
tells her she shouldn't eat so much at
work bo young finally has a breakdown
and beings crying as she explains she
eats to stay awake because she must
finish the work he ruined for her jang
hyun begins to feel pity for her so he
decides to stay the night and help her
finish the project not noticing to
yoon's texts asking him if he's still
coming over tomorrow the next day they
present the finished project to their
bosses who congratulate them for it and
tell the permanent team they should
learn from it after work they go to a
restaurant to celebrate where zhang hyuk
avoids drinking because of his injured
liver after telling to you and he'll go
home when they're done with the company
dinner he keeps an eye on bo young who
keeps getting drunk by the time he makes
it home it's incredibly late and deune
is not there she was called by the
hospital to cover another nurse's shift
and will work all night deun apologizes
for not seeing him and before hanging up
she asks him to change the light bulb
jang hyuk however falls asleep and
leaves for work the next day without
doing the change at the office their
boss congratulates him and beau young
for being a good team and gives them a
new project for them to work together on
which they don't mind because now
they're getting along pretty well
jang hype begins staying late working
extra hours with bo young and developing
a connection with her but also canceling
onto yoon often so they see each other
less and less every week sometimes
almost never this frustrates to yoon who
has something very important to tell him
in person and has been postponing it for
a while
the second project is a success and jang
hyuk and bo young go to catch dinner
together to celebrate di yoon who has
been waiting for his boyfriend as he had
promised calls him to know where he is
so jang hyuk lies to her and tells her
he needs to stay working late again this
time jang hyuk does accept a drink one
evening bo young tries to flirt with him
and this is the final kick jang hyuk
needs to return home as soon as he
enters the apartment he finds a bunch of
trash bags in the hallway and eun asks
him to take them out and to change the
light bulb this causes an argument to
begin about how they're both too tired
and the other should be helping dean
thinks jang hyuk only comes over to rest
and zhang yep thinks to you is being
self-centered suddenly the yoon
confesses the important things she
wanted to tell him she hasn't gotten her
period so jang hyuk uses the excuse of
taking out the trash to be outside while
he freaks out at the idea of being a
father the next day he's too distracted
by this to think properly and after deun
calls him to tell him the doctor
confirmed she's four weeks pregnant he
gets in such a bad mood that he yells at
beau young without meaning to but at
least he apologies to her he isn't there
for their next presentation he decides
to be responsible so he takes a day off
to go to the ob gyn with de une who acts
awkwardly when she's filing the
paperwork with the name of the baby's
guardian then she asks him to wait for
her outside claiming she can handle it
alone because she's a nurse
when she's done he gives her a tight hug
but when they go home to cuddle he keeps
getting calls and texts from work he
ignores them because he wants to stay
with her but tired of hearing the phone
dean tells him to go at least this time
jang hyuk remembers to text her while
he's away and when the work hours are
over he doesn't stay extra hours with bo
young he leaves on time to be there with
the yoon
jang hyuk begins commuting between
incheon and seoul every day and this
quickly takes a toll on him he's so
tired he goes to bed early and barely
spends time with the yoon anyway and
keeps falling asleep at the office too
he begins being the same kind of guy
getting ready in his car he used to make
fun of and arrives late at work when he
oversleeps earning him a scolding one
evening bo young points out they're
falling back on their new project
because he leaves early and convinces
him to stay over so jang hyuk once again
starts going back home fewer and fewer
days when he finally goes out with the
yoon during a weekend he spends their
whole walk complaining about how he is
tired how he wants to go home and
telling dayun to shop faster not even
letting her stay for long at the macaron
stand she wanted to try so badly as they
go back to the car he tells her to buy
things online because it's faster and
deune starts crying explaining she came
to the market to spend time with him not
because she actually needed to shop he
makes it sound like spending time with
her is exhausting while she's also tired
from work and still makes the effort
jang hyuk apologizes and accidentally
calls her bo young before driving away
without noticing what he did
hurt the unit asks him to pull over but
jang hyuk misunderstands her and thinks
he wants her to enter the fast food
drive through they end up arguing in
front of the clerk deyoune thinks he's
cheating on her and jang hyuk gets
offended by such an accusation so he
admits he's been coming over because he
felt bad for her deun admits then that
she's terminated the pregnancy and jang
hyuk says him not caring about the baby
and reaching this point is both their
faults they drive away without grabbing
the food and after dropping to unit her
place jang hyuk returns to seoul to
start living in the apartment he rents
there the next day the ring he had
bought for da yun arrives in the mail
and decides to hide it in his pencil
holder one evening he isn't able to take
it anymore and kisses beau young which
is the start of a relationship with her
they work together and spend leisure
time together too but jang hyuk can't
help getting distracted every time he
sees a nurse uniform on the streets or
shops one afternoon he's shocked to get
a message from the travel company
confirming his tickets to jeju he sends
a text to to yoon to tell her she can
use them and take whoever she wants and
can't help noticing she's never changed
her profile pictures which says to yoon
loves jang hyuk he can't stop thinking
about her after that especially when he
gets a message that confirms the tickets
have been reserved so he's very
distracted at work during the final
meeting of the year the permanent team
gets all the credit for their work and
neither jang hyuk nor bo young gets a
position for the future
afterward they go to the company's party
where jang hyuk thinks he may go back to
his old job in incheon and bo young
mentioned she will study abroad now that
he is losing bo young too jang hyuk
thinks about the yoon and when he checks
her profile he notices it says she's
leaving to spend christmas at jeju
deciding he must have a chance if she is
still going through with the trip they
planned zhang he rescues the ring from
his office and takes a cab to the
airport where he stops the taxi just in
time as to yoon waves just like the
beginning of the story when he comes out
of the car however he bumps into another
man the fat jang you that had hepatitis
b and is now testing the sneakers it
turns out skinny jang hue and fat jang
who aren't the same person do you met
skinny jang hue almost two years before
the other one and she also bonded with
him when he was admitted to her hospital
with a broken leg they started seeing
each other do you also put stickers on
his leg cast bought for him the same
matching sneakers and went to jeju with
him for christmas
skinny jang-hu even moved to her
apartment too when he started being
distant towards her she found comfort in
fat jang his kindness especially since
later he would do all the things skinny
jang he wouldn't like changing the light
bulb her pregnancy was the reason why
she was so tired and napping with him
also why she quit coffee and smoking and
why she would steal food from fat jang
hue's plate the night she spent at the
hospital while skinny jang hugh was away
were spent with fat changhu and it was
fat jang hu's name that she wrote as the
baby's guardian after she broke up with
skinny jang hue she removed her ring on
purpose and then told fat jang hu that
she lost it when skinny jang who told
her she could have the tickets she used
the chance to invite fat jang you to go
with her instead
back in the present the yoon checks on
fat jang hue and helps him stand up
she does see skinny jang-hyu but totally
ignores him walking into the airport to
leave with her friend without a word
furious skinny jang hue insults her and
kicks a trash can before going back to
the company party only to discover bo
young has won a jeju vacation for two
overwhelmed by the irony jang hu decides
all this mess is his old boss's fault
for having him sent here then takes out
the ring and proposes to bow young as he
tells her he loves her bo young turns
him down saying she's not quite there
yet and zhang you spends the rest of the
night drinking
