Episode 11

Going to work? I was in the neighborhood.

Mind if I hitch a ride?

What are you doing?
This is so uncomfortable.

Let's not intrude into personal space.

Please get off.

Oh, don't be so mean. Let me go with you.

I have to make a stop.

Then I'll get off where you get off.

But... The seatbelt... Why are you...

Go, go, go!

Turn left after going 300 meters.

It really is a marvel.

It takes shortcuts to take us
safely to our destination.

Wouldn't it be nice if our life had
a navigation system?

We'd always know when to go straight,

and how to take the quickest route.

You really think that would be good?

Even if we're a little late or get lost a bit,

it might be better to find our own way.

I think for Tiny, her mother was her GPS.

She's been conditioned.

She's gotten used to doing what she's told

without knowing what she wants
or where she's going.

When I was out recruiting the girls,

it was her mother who contacted me.

She wanted to know if
the producer of Red Queen

was really with the agency.

She said she'd entrust her daughter to us.

She probably thought sending her to you
was the way to becoming a singer,

but now she believes
Y Entertainment will be a shortcut.

Mothers all want
the best for their daughters.

But you need to show Tiny's mother

that her first choice wasn't wrong.

I'm sure that you'll take care of it,

but I just wish you'd move a little faster.

I see that my words have moved you.

Why are you stopping here?

If you're making a U turn to go to Tiny,
I'm all for it.

Go, go to Y Entertainment.

Please get off.

Mr. Kang.

Oh, fine...

Geez...

He should've told me
he was coming this far.

Where the heck am I?

Mr. Shim, let's walk.

Okay!

Who's that?

Hi. Nice to meet you.

You're here early.

Everyone, say hello.

This is your new vocal trainer.

Mr. Kang said you needed to work
on your singing.

Glad to meet you. I'm Danoh Kim.

Hello.

How is Mint doing?

You want her to become
like Red Queen, don't you?

Of course I do.

The Red Queen girls
were like her too, at first.

They weren't exceptional or that special.

They lacked individual talent,

but by bringing together a group to fill
that void, it created a synergy.

The same goes for the Rookies.

Individually, they lack certain things.

But they have great potential
when they're together.

Mint is one of them.

Mint has strong basic skills
and she's a great dancer.

But she's poor at
expressing her emotions.

Louder!

More!

More!

Stop.

This is serious.

You really thought you could become
singers with voices like that?

- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry towards me.

However, the main vocals
need more practice.

The sub vocals lack confidence.

And you guys don't even know
the basics of vocalization.

I was expecting more
from Shinhyuk's girls.

I'm extremely disappointed.

I was only going to feel you out today,

but looks like we have to go
straight into hard training.

Begin!

Slowly I wither and fade

Hidden in your shadows

It may look glamorous
but I always need you by my side

Step forward.

Yes.

Hold this.

Wrap your arms around it.

Straighten your shoulders.
Suck in your stomach.

Again.

It may look glamorous
but I always need you by my side

I did it.

Your shoulders are all hunched up.

You won't be able to sing
properly like that.

You have to keep your shoulders back.

Now let's try again. Go.

Slowly I wither and fade

Hidden in your shadows

It may look glamorous
but I always need you by my side

Good. Okay.

Breathe in as much air as you can
into your stomach.

If you hold that position, your voice
will become much stronger.

Once you get used to it,
you won't need this.

It may look glamorous
but I always need you by my side

Wow.

Take a 30 minute break,
and then I'll teach each team separately.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

She really looks a lot like Suah.

What the...?

From Suah to Shinhyuk Kang,

and now her twin sister...

Hmm...

Miss Silver Platter isn't here.

Yeah.

She always said she'd buy.

I wonder if she's ever coming back.

Did anyone try calling her?

You really want to go there?

I don't know.

I think I have to because of my mom.

It's how you feel that matters.

She's got a lot on her mind
because of her mom.

We should give her time to think.

What? You mean she
might not come back?

What about our mission?

Are the lyrics done yet?

Now our time is precious.

Beads of sweat we shed.

This is great. It could be about us.

Yeah.

It goes really well with the song.
Great job.

I wrote it when I was going through
a hard time trying out for auditions.

I thought it would go well with
what we're going through now.

I rewrote it to fit the song.

It's good.

Really?

Do you mind if we send the lyrics to Mint?

If we can remind her
of us training together,

she might change her mind.

So you want her to quit and come back?

Yes, that would be nice.

What's this?

It's terrible, right?

- Stickman?
- Stickman?

It's supposed to go like this...

Like...

I'll just show you.

What's this song? Do you know it?

No. Nice song. Google it.

Let's just ask.

That's embassarring.
Just google it. It's faster.

I think we should ask.

No, google it.

So you want an acoustic sound?

When the café became quiet,

people started listening to the song.

If we start out softly,
people will focus on our song.

And they'll hear the lyrics better.

Yeah, if we do a dance version,
it won't be different from the other team.

Right. And it's too similar to what
we've been doing so far.

So you want to change the beginning?

We can start with an acoustic melody

making people focus on the song,

and then Haseo can start rapping,

changing the song to a dance beat.

Then we can show our dance routine.

Great. I'm all for it.

Sounds fun.

Not bad.

You think Mint will like it?

Definitely.

I'll be right back. Keep practicing.

Did you see the lyrics? Good, right?

We changed the concept a little.

Don't you want to know what it is?

You're going to come running back
once you hear it.

I'll call you back.

I thought Mint should
know what's going on

just in case she comes back.

You really believe she's coming back?

She went to Y Entertainment.

She could debut there so
why would she come back?

She only went because of her mom.

We're all here to debut as singers.

It doesn't matter if it's at 825 or Y.

You have to go where
you can debut and succeed.

What does it matter what you want?

I still want to do this with Mint.

I'm going to do everything I can
until she comes back.

You'd be bringing her back
for your sake, not hers.

Let's say you manage to bring her back.

What if you never get to debut?
What then?

Don't butt into someone else's life.

In this business, trainees come and go.

You may be a team today,

but you could be rivals tomorrow.

I'm right.

There's no such thing as one team
in the world of trainees.

Being one team doesn't matter.

What matters is winning and debuting.

All the meaningless things

Change like magic

Everything becomes new

I smile every time I see you

Do I like you?

Are you my first love?

Stop.

Aren't you supposed
to be the Debut team?

Yes.

What's wrong with your teamwork?
The chords are all over the place.

Taeri, you try this part.

What?

Go.

All the meaningless things

2, 3, 4.

Changes like magic

Good.

Your voice sounds better in this part
than Youngjoo's.

That's okay, right?

Of course. It's for the team.

And hearing all of us singing together,
I think you're right.

It works better for Taeri.

Good.

Youngjoo.

It was only because of our vocal trainer...

You were good.

What?

You should sing that part.

Your voice is better for it

and it uplifts the entire song.

- Really?
- Yeah, you were really good.

Just keep on doing what you're doing.

Yeah, I liked it too.

Yeah. You always got scolded.
But you did well. Good for you.

We have to put our heart and soul
into this mission.

If we win, there won't be another round.

We can debut.

Yeah, I'm really going to
work hard this time.

No, you have to do well.

- It's okay.
- You did good.

You were really great.

Hey.

I like your lyrics.

Who wrote it?

I did.

It's good, right? There's a lot more.

Yeah? Bring me the others next time.
I'll take a look.

Thank you.

No problem.

Why did you leave this part out though?

You haven't decided who'll sing it?

One of the girls had to leave.

That part belongs to her.

We're just hoping she'll come back.

Okay.

But you need to come up with a Plan B.

We will.

Okay, let's begin.

Hoping that our precious time

And all our sweat

Won't be in vain, full of bright hope

Dreaming, dreaming, go, go, go

My dreams will come true

The light that you and I will share

Do, re, mi, we keep on singing today

Stop.

Suji, haven't you sung before?

I sung a little at the last mission,

but I'm not that good yet.

Isn't it your first time dancing as well?

You're a pretty good dancer now.

Why haven't you worked on singing?
You don't want to sing?

Excuse me?

You look confident and happy
when you're dancing,

but not when you're singing.

I'm just not good yet...

I saw a video of you dancing.

I could feel your emotions
in your fingertips,

and you expressed yourself well.

Why can't you do the same thing
when you sing?

It's not that different from dancing.

Whether you sing well or not,

you have to put your emotions into it.

If you're singing like a woodblock,

how do you expect people to feel?

Hoping that our precious time

And all our sweat

What am I supposed to feel?

Think about how you feel when you dance.

Singing will come more naturally.

Sing like I dance?

Coming from work?

No, I just dropped by.

I left something behind.

What's this?

Was Mint here?

Why would she?

Someone else must've taken her stuff.

Mint.

You'd be bringing her back
for your sake, not hers.

Let's say you manage to bring her back.

What if you never get to debut?
What then?

- What's up?
- Oh...

Mint is really gone.

It's not over until it's over.

She left something behind. Typical.

Let's keep it hostage
until she comes back.

This is your part.

[Mint] Almost touching, almost grasping

Hey.

Aren't you going to greet us properly?

Why?

"Why"?

We debuted before you.

So you have to. That's the rule.

What?

You left your friends
to make it on your own.

Real Girl is totally screwed now.

How's Y Entertainment?

I hate it. I want to go back to 825.

Don't be stupid.

Not everyone gets a chance to debut.

You can't turn your back
on this opportunity.

Being a singer was my mom's dream.

I only started singing and dancing

because she liked it so much.

Honestly, I don't know what I want.

I think I do.

You have the same dream as us.

Being a singer and an idol.

No, that was my mom's dream.

It's yours, too.

You wouldn't have been happy
singing and dancing for 10 years

if it was just for your mother.

You really looked happy when you danced.

What you didn't know

wasn't what you wanted to do.

It was how you really felt.

How I felt?

You and I aren't used to dreaming,

so we're still not good at it.

But let's give it a go.

And it's fun being together, right?

Yeah. I want to go with you.

Stop that.

Hey.

I mean it. If you come closer,
I'm not taking you back.

- Get away from me.
- I'm going with you.

You don't always have to
show Mint the way.

Instead of being a guide,

I think it would be better for her sake

to be a companion on the path
she wants to go.

I'll be going now.

Come here.

- No kissing!
- Come here.

Mint?

Mint!

Guys!

I'm back!

I thought you were going to
debut at Y Entertainment.

Yeah, but I really wanted to do this song.

The heroine of this song is me, right?

No.

- No.
- It's mine.

What's all this?

Why are you out here?

My mom cut me off.

She took my credit card too.

So you can't buy coffee for us anymore?

Don't say that.

You!

I'm broke now.

She's back, for real!

I knew it. I knew you'd come back.

I'm glad you're back.

Let's do this.

I still want to do this with Mint.

I'm going to do everything I can
until she comes back.

Go Rookies!

I'm going to start working
part time with Jiseul.

Again.

What are you doing?

The moment...

The moment you came close...

Yeah, I'm really going to
work hard this time.

No, you have to do well.

Brother

What's wrong with me?

Why...?

Mom...

Taewoo...

Help me...

Help me, please...

Still no word from Taeri?

She's not answering her phone.

I hope nothing's happened to her.

Taeri.

What's wrong?

Taeri, are you sick? Are you okay?

I have something to say.

I can't perform.

I can't do the mission.

Why not?

No matter how hard I practice, I can't do it.

I guess working hard and doing well
are two different things.

I'm scared.

I think I'm going to ruin everything.

Can't Youngjoo just do it then?

It was your part anyway.

She can't.

It's one day before the mission.
We can't suddenly change our parts.

And you've worked so hard.

She says she can't do it. Look at her face.

She's lost so much weight.
She must be stressed out.

Yeah. I feel so bad.

But...

Don't give up.

This is your chance.

You get to be in the center
and shine for the first time.

I know, but...

I don't think I can.

Didn't you learn anything
from the Rookies?

Yeeun messed up in the first mission,

but she took a chance in the center
the next round.

And she was great.

Don't you want to be like that too?

I guess.

You can do it.

Yeah, you have a lot of charm. Show them.

Yeah, give it a shot.

You're just nervous right now,

but you can do it.

Are you sure?

Yes, don't run.

You're the center in this mission.

Dreaming, dreaming, go, go, go

My dreams will come true

A shining light that you and I will share

The colors of the rainbow

We dream our dreams

Wow. I just got the chills.

Yeah, we got everything right.

Practice really does make perfect.

Good job, Mint. I know you
didn't have a lot of time.

Yeah.

I can't wait for the mission.

Get away from me.

Are you okay?

My heart is fluttering. I'm so excited.

Me, too. I hope we can
do this well tomorrow.

What? We have to be twice as good.

No, three times. Four times?

No, five times.

- Fight on!
- Fight on!

Rookies!

Let's do this.

- Fight on!
- Fight on!

Come on.

For the first time,
I was scared of the stage.

I wanted to run.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't stop.

Taeri.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

- Oh, no.
- This way.

- Oh, no.
- Taeri.
