When the beautiful dandelion disperses, it reveals its core—the most ordinary, even fragile part of the flower.
This story centers on Dubby, a man whose kindness spreads quietly, endlessly, until nothing is left to protect the self beneath. In a workplace that praises dedication but ignores exhaustion, his willingness to give becomes his greatest wound. Only when everything falls apart does the truth surface: beauty in giving means little if it destroys the one who gives. Through burnout, silence, and awakening, this project reflects on a gentle but painful truth—true kindness must begin at the core, or it cannot survive.
Oh my god, how tough it is. Where's the mistake? It's too complicated.
Hey Lucy, you look so stressed. What's going on?
Oh, don't worry. Yes, I've completely lost the data.
Okay, maybe you have deleted it. So choose this one, click this button to recover it, okay?
Oh, I understand it. Thanks a lot.
Okay, now-
Ah! We'll never finish this time! Don't finish me!
Hey, hey, calm down. What's wrong?
This time is so hard, I-
Okay, so now just change a little bit and then choose this animation, okay?
Yes, yes.
All right, okay.
But, um, I have this and this report needs to be sent out urgently.
But my boyfriend is waiting downstairs, so I have to go now. Can you do it for me, please?
Please?
Is this really urgent?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bye.
But I still have my hotel.
Oh, hey. Oh, it's good for you to be here.
So I actually have no idea how to handle this pile of expenses.
Can you help me to enter all these invoices into the system?
Enter invoices?
Yes, because I'm in a rush, you know? I got to go for a meeting, you know?
Bye-bye, see you.
Yes, mom?
Well, are you still working now? It's 5 a.m.
I'm almost done, mom. You don't need to call me just to check on my hours.
I can take care of myself.
I remember, but you need to take a break.
I know that you are doing great.
You are doing better than everyone else, and I'm so proud of that.
But you need to keep this maintained, this standard, okay? Keep going.
I know, mom. I do well, but try not to call me like this.
I'm trying to focus here. Can I call you back later?
I just wanted to tell you, remind you, that tomorrow is our aunt's birthday,
and you promised to bring her the special gift.
Don't forget that, and don't let the family down, okay?
Yes, I won't forget.
Bye, mom.
Hey, Daping.
You look awful.
Oh, thanks.
What's wrong with you? Are you even okay?
I'm fine, really. I just finished Julia's report last night.
It's just a little bit.
A little bit? If you keep helping with a little bit,
that little bit will repeat a thousand times. Don't you see?
I know, buddy. I admire how chill you are. You never look stressed.
Because I know where the line is.
I say no to them sometimes, and saying yes to them means saying no to yourself.
It's hard, buddy. It's really hard.
Oh, it's eight now. Let's come in.
All right, team, we're moving on to the key phrase of the Mikey campaign project,
which is the data analysis for the advertisement.
The headquarters just emailed me this morning,
saying they want the report in three days.
So this part has to be really clean.
Three days? That's crazy.
Yeah, unless Judy does it.
I also think so.
Debbie understands all the details of the company,
so if I touch it, I will ruin everything.
The day has driven me crazy. How could we...
This project is our once-in-a-lifetime chance to stay ahead of the game,
so we need the best player on this.
Anyone willing to take the challenge?
Doobie, why so silent?
Well, I can lead, but maybe we should split the workload.
I will handle the content of the advertisements, and you guys can tag.
Oh, I would love to, but I'm drowning in this audit this week.
If I drown, I'd just slow you down.
The thing here, I'm also covering for another cop.
I think I'm up to my ears.
For me, I have a problem that needs to be solved with a client,
so I think it would be faster if you deal with it.
Guys, it's a team project.
Doobie doesn't have a magic battery to finish everything on his own.
Do you know?
Guys, my baby is not a superhero.
He's already been snowed under with tons of work.
We're not doing everything.
It's just Doobie is the best person for this.
So is you, right, Doobie?
You always just get it done like you always do.
Handle the chaos upstairs.
Yes, boss.
I'll do my best.
All right.
I understand, boss.
It's okay.
Captain A, your girlfriend's next.
Eat before you turn into a zombie.
Zombies don't get deadlines, Regina.
They just wonder.
Then be a living human and take five minutes.
Okay, after I finish this slide, I promise.
But you said that three hours ago.
Okay, okay.
I have it now.
Don't worry.
Hate you.
How's the project, everyone?
Is everything good?
Just updating some numbers.
I will report the analysis of our report in 10 minutes.
Oh, sorry, Doobie.
I made a mistake.
Can you fix it for me?
Right now?
Yeah, it's just a little bit.
But we have a meeting with our clients in 5.30.
I know, but you're first.
Please?
Okay.
Doobie.
What?
Could you read this reply for the brand manager?
I don't want to sound rude.
Okay.
Please help me, yeah?
So I will forward the email to you, okay?
Guys, can you please stop for a second?
Doobie, he's exhausted.
Look at him.
We believe in you.
Yeah, that's right.
We believe in you.
We can't-
Oh, no!
Doobie!
Oh, no!
Doobie?
What's happening?
Hey!
What are you seeing from here every day?
When you wake up, I swear I'll do it differently.
Mom?
Yes, I'm here.
Oh, dear, my son.
I'm terribly sorry.
I just keep asking you to be strong.
But I forgot to ask you if you're hurting.
We are sorry so much.
I think that I take your kindness for granted.
Get out!
No, honey.
I'm so worried.
Why didn't you tell me you were tired?
Marry me.
I'll take care of you.
Don't you think so, mommy?
And you!
You!
And you!
You all hurt my fiancé.
And you as well!
Back down.
I relied on you so much.
I thought you could handle everything.
So sorry for that.
Oh, I'm okay.
I just want to help.
You did.
But you don't have to do it all alone.
How can you be okay lying here?
But...
But I...
It's okay.
You don't have to say anything.
It's not your fault.
You know, the dandelions spread their feet because of the wind.
It's beautiful, right?
Yes.
Just like you.
You spread your kindness.
And it's beautiful too.
But the dandelion's mother plant has to keep alive to bloom again.
Similarly, kindness is so cool.
Especially when it starts from yourself.
What do you mean by starts from myself?
Well, you can...
There are two ways to get it.
First, your kindness is so cool.
It genuinely derives from your heart.
Like you truly want to help without any desire to receive back.
And it is even cooler when the first one who receives your kindness is...
From myself?
Yes.
So my kindness hasn't been totally cool, right?
It's not that good?
Yeah, I think you get it.
Joey, do you have any time to spare?
Yes, of course.
I want you to help me with this project.
I'm finalizing it, but it's so hard.
Okay, I can help you.
But maybe later.
Because I have to rest now.
Oh, of course.
Thank you.
Thanks for telling me.
Okay.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll show you how to fit it.
Someone half happy with the same pair.
Now, you will put it on the table and move it down here.
Oh, I understand.
Oh, this is so hard.
I wish someone could help me with this.
Oh, Daisy, let's help her.
Okay, are you having a problem?
Yes.
Okay, team.
The recent incident has been a wake-up call to our workflow.
From now on, we'll restructure and split the loot.
Doobie, you'll be back at 5 p.m. today.
Clear?
Yes, boss.
And don't forget the year-end party event this weekend.
It's still strange, you know?
But it's good to be like this.
You look lighter now.
Yeah, I've changed.
I help when I can and I know how to stop when I'm tired.
So, how does that feel?
Like I'm finally listening to myself.
You know, you feel right when everything starts to feel overwhelming.
Coincidence, maybe?
No, I don't think so.
If it's weren't for you, I couldn't understand these things.
And now, I know what real kindness is.
It's not destroying yourself for others,
but it's caring for others and for yourself, too.
I'm glad you understand now.
Yeah, and I just want to say thank you, buddy.
Buddy?
Hey, Captain Dobby!
Who's you've been talking to all along?
I'm talking to Buddy here.
But who is Buddy?
Okay, so anyways, let's go have some lunch.
Everyone is waiting for us.
Oh, okay.
