## Summary

Shin-Ae is working at WacDonalds and taking orders, when Yeong-Gi comes up to order. Yeong-Gi is surprised to see Shin-ae working there. Yeong-Gi begins asking Shin-ae questions and she answers but continues waiting for his order. She eventually shouts "OMFG Just tell me what you want to eat!" towards Yeong-Gi, and Shin-ae gets reminded by her manager to be positive and she sings the jingle of WacDonalds that is "Don't be hostile, keep a wac smile, it will make everybody's day worthwhile!"

The customers behind Yeong-Gi get mad at how long he is taking, so Yeong-Gi apologizes and says he will hurry up. He then asks if he can see Shin-ae on her break. She agrees hoping he will order faster, and he orders a 4-piece chicken Wac tenders and a cup of water. He then gets his meal and sits down.

Yeong-Gi sits and eats his Wac Tenders as Shin-Ae continues to work and gets berated by irritable customers demanding refunds and to use expired coupons. Yeong-Gi comes up repeatedly, getting the same thing each time, which confuses Shin-Ae

Shin-Ae finally reaches her break and is looking up how long it takes to hear back from a job. She is wondering about her application to the Hirahara customer service call center, but starts to look for other jobs.

Shin-Ae's manager brings in Yeong-Gi . He asks if she is hungry, and she says no, but her stomach immediately growls. Yeong-Gi gives her a bag of food, and she is confused. He says she will faint during work, she insists she will not, but he says he will leave after she finishes eating, and gives her his word.

She asks him why it matters to him, and he says he is just looking out for her. She thinks to herself that he is being oddly nice.

He then asks about her application to work at the Hirahara customer service center, and she decides to check it. She sees her application is missing. Yeong-Gi says that he's disappointed that they won't be able to work at the same place, but says Shin-Ae looks good in the uniform.

Shin-Ae asks Yeong-Gi to stop saying she looks good/cute when he has a girlfriend.

Yeong-Gi says that he is only trying to be nice to her, and she asks why. He says "Because we're friends!" She says that they haven't been friends for long. He says "So? That doesn't mean I can't be nice to you.." She says "whether things are going well or not... you're still in a relationship. Getting me food, saying and doing all these nice things... you don't see anything wrong with that?"

He frowns, and then he stands up and Shin-Ae asks where he is going. He tells her he is leaving, saying that he said earlier that he would leave once she finished eating. He then says "I really am just trying to be a decent friend. I'll see you around."

   Yeong-Gi is then sitting outside on a bench having a phone call with the Hirahara Corp. He finds out that there is no record of Shin-Ae's application. He remembers that he saw her application in the folder that Kousuke gave him.

## Notes & Trivia

-When Quimchee was asked on CuriousCat if "the customer's crazy complaints from episode 43 [were based on] the real life experience[s] [she or her cousin had] she responded by saying "The terrible customers were my own experiences. The stuff the my cousin did was he always made sure he told cashiers they're doing a great job/complimenting their work to boost their morale. Customer service jobs can wear down a person mentally/emotionally so I thought that was really sweet of my cousin to do. Seriously, I've seen so many people breakdown and cry because of how terrible a customer can get."
