Episode 13

Taeri!

Taeri!

Taeri!

She's not here?

Where is she?

Yes, what is it?

What? Are you sure?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Taeri is at the theater.

Taeri. Taeri!

Why'd you leave the hospital
without telling anyone?

You scared me.

What are you doing here?

There was something
I wanted to check.

But I can't do it.

I'm scared.

I can barely stand up on stage anymore.

What am I going to do?

What am I going to do? Taewoo?

Taeri...

Why...

Why?

I've wanted this for so long.

It's a sparkling stage.

But why am I not happy?

You aren't?

You've been unhappy all this time?

Yes.

I felt like I was suffocating.

I wanted to run away.

Then run.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing is the world
is more important than you.

Your dreams, success,
they all mean nothing without you.

But...

Taeri, I've lived a little longer
than you have,

and I realized that there's no such thing
as meaningless time.

Even the moments I thought I failed

ended up being a gift later on.

So even if you stop here,
don't think of it as a failure.

Taewoo...

There are so many stages in the world.

You just have to find one
that makes you happy.

And you'll be able to shine again on it.

I'm sorry.

I really wanted to do well.

It's okay.

Taeri, it's really okay.

I'm here. Mom and Dad
are here for you, too.

You just focus on being happy.

Suji, are you happy?

Mom... Dad...

To have hope is to be happy.

You'll be able to find your own stage
and be happy one day.

Do you want some warm water, Taeri?

Yeah, thanks.

Can you call Mr. Shim for me?

Sure.

I see.

Well, if that's your decision,
I'll respect it.

Thank you.
I know you've been waiting for me.

It's all right.

But the other girls will be disappointed.
I don't know how to tell them...

I'd like to tell them myself...

can I do that?

Of course.

That's how it turned out.

Yes, I see.

I'm also near the hospital.

No, I have other plans.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Shinhyuk!

- It's been a while.
- How have you been?

It's been about six months, right?

I didn't know you worked at this hospital.

I moved about three months ago.

You need to stay in touch.

I just found out yesterday
you're working again.

You're so heartless.

I'm sorry. It just happened.

And I've been so busy.

It's okay. I'm just glad
you're back up on your feet.

I know how hard it was
for you a year ago.

You even had to take sleeping pills.

Do you still hear things
or see things on rainy days?

No. Can we not talk about that?

What would you like to eat?

Taeri

I told Mr. Shim.

Thank you. You gave me the courage.

I'll tell the other girls myself.

Can you pretend not to know anything
for the time being?

Why?

Your Suji is 'happy'.

She's doing well.

I went sea fishing because of you

and almost died.

You did?

Why'd a beginner like you
go sea fishing?

You should've gone to a fishery.

I thought I could catch a whale.

Well, I'm glad to see you smiling again.

You look happy.

I thought I had found a path
for someone...

But it turns out I was trying
to find a path for myself.

Are you talking about that girl?

The girl I saw you with at the hospital.

Yes, she's a diamond in the rough.

Maybe more so than Suah.

I heard that she's Suah's twin.

She's okay though, right?

What?

Suah's illness could be hereditary.

What?

You should keep an eye on Suji.

Your Suji is 'happy'.

It's not for Suah's sake.

I want to do it for my sake.

Don't worry about me.
I'll do well until the end.

Don't...

Don't...

Suah!

I can't do this. This is wrong.

I don't want to go.

It doesn't matter.
That stage is my last hope.

Hello?!

What is it?

Haseo, you got your hair done?
You look totally different.

Right? She just went out late last night

to get her hair done and surprised everyone.

Something's up.

When a girl changes her hair,
there's usually a reason.

Gotcha.

What? There's no reason.

I just wanted to try something new.

I've been feeling a bit down.

You've been worried about Taeri?

It's nice that you're concerned.

Yes.

But what's going on?

You're all here training early
without anyone telling you to?

Well, the competition is on hold,
and it felt like we were slacking.

I'm proud of you.

Mr. Kang would've been glad to know.

He's not here? Did he go somewhere?

Now that you mention it,
I haven't seen him.

He didn't call either.

Why?

Is something up?

I don't know.
He never missed a day without calling.

What could it be?

Where has he gone?

- Thank you.
- What should I eat first?

- Kika, you want some?
- Yeah.

Looks so good.

You know, it's been a while
since we've met.

Time went by really fast.

Yeah, with the survival competition
and missions and all,

I didn't realize it at all.

Ugh, does that mean I'm 23 soon?

Oh my god.

My parents are probably going to start
talking about marriage now.

Marriage? You're only 23!

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm just saying.

I'm a bit disappointed though.

I thought I'd be able
to make my debut this year

and hold a Christmas concert
with my fans.

I'm jealous of Nakyung.

Yeah.

Still, maybe our dreams will come true
around this time next year.

Maybe?

Yeah.

But which one of us?

Huh?

Why are you surprised?

You know we can't all make a debut.

Right.

Team wins are important,

but the one with the highest
individual points will have an advantage.

Suji came in first place
in the last mission, right?

And last place was Yeeun, right?

Really? You wrote the lyrics though.

Well...

Yeah, it's weird. Why am I in 4th place?

I worked really, really hard.

Can't be helped.

We're not as well-known as Suji.

I know you worked hard on the lyrics,
but people don't notice that.

Yeah.

Anyway, team wins still matter.

That's how you get points.

When are we starting
the competition again?

Is Taeri still sick?

I'll tell the other girls myself.

Can you pretend not to know anything
for the time being?

I don't know.

I planned on going to see her tomorrow.
Want to go with me?

Yeah, sure.

- Me too.
- Me too.

Where's Youngjoo though?

Did she go home on holiday?

It's weird not seeing her
at the practice studio.

Yeah.

What? It's nice eating together
at home for once?

I'm glad I'm here, too. It's been awhile
since I've had Mom's food.

Are you sure it's okay to be here
for two days?

What about practice?

I'm still practicing.

You're going back today, right?

Yes.

Eat this. This as well.

You too, Joungjoo.

Good.

This is good. Better than I thought.

Can you compose, too?

No, not really...

Try it if you get the chance.

There are a lot of singer-songwriters
among idols these days.

Writing lyrics and composing is okay,

but I don't think I have what it takes
to be an idol singer.

Hmm?

I'm really glad that my team won,

but I came in last place.

So far, I rank the lowest.

At this rate, I won't be able to debut.

I see.

Well, just win the next mission.

No one notices me
no matter how hard I try.

There are hardly any comments...

That's not you...

I know, it's because Suji
has so much presence.

But it's always been like this.

Whenever I tried out for auditions,

all I heard was that
I was too ordinary or normal..

That's why I started writing lyrics.
A friend...

No, someone I know said I should
work on something other than singing.

Your friend, Jeewon?

Here.

I support your dreams.

Write a lot of lyrics
in this notebook.

Whoever she is, she has foresight.

Don't worry.

You never know how things will end
until the final whistle blows.

And you have something
that the others don't.

You really think so?

Ugh, does that mean I'm 23 soon?

My parents are probably going to start
talking about marriage now.

I'm going to be 28 soon.

Another year just went by...

Samcheok High School Reunion

Delete

Nayoung

Nayoung?

What? Seoul?

When did you get here?

Oh...

The reunion?

By the way, she's healthy, isn't she?

Even if she's a twin,
it's an acquired disease.

Depending on the environment
or eating habits,

she may or may not
contract the disease.

So don't worry beforehand.

Yeah, don't worry about something
that hasn't happened.

- Mr. Shim.
- Would you like some tea?

No, I'm not here for tea.

Mr. Kang called to say
he's taking the day off.

Really?

Is he sick?

What's wrong with everyone?

Now that you mention it,
can you look after the girls' health?

Diets and missions are good and all,

but make sure they're eating properly.

Don't worry about that. I'm a good cook.

Yes, you are good

Only at things other than cooking.

- What?
- Nothing.

It's Christmas soon.
How about we throw a party?

A party?

We have time off until the weekend,

so let's forget about the competition
and have some fun.

And eat as much as we want.

That sounds great.
What kind of event should we plan?

How about Secret Santa?

- We're finally back.
- Yeah.

Oh? Taeri? When did you get here?

You've been discharged?

Well...

there's something I need to tell you.

I'm going to quit the competition.

- Huh?
- What?

What? Why?

I'm sorry. That's what I've decided.

What are you talking about?

Why are you quitting the team?

Why so suddenly?

Are you sick again?

No, it's not that...

Then what?

We said we'd wait until you came back.

No.

I just can't do it anymore.

The truth is, it's too terrifying
being on stage.

I didn't realize it,

but I've been having a tough time.

Everyone else is working so hard
for their dreams

and it's like I'm the only one
that doesn't have any goals.

I've been lost for a while now.

It took me this long to realize it.

- So...
- That's just a lame excuse.

- Youngjoo.
- Youngjoo.

What about all the work you did
for the past two years?

You said you wanted to be an idol.
That you wanted to be on stage with us.

Right, I did.

But...

Then don't run away.

Stop it, Youngjoo.

Stop?

Stop what?

This isn't about your team, is that it?

What?

You're acting like it's not a big deal
because she's not on your team.

How can you say that?

I'm right, aren't I?

What was it like when Jiseul and Mint
said they would leave your team?

You said that
you'd always be one team,

and asked them to stay, didn't you?

But why can't you say
the same for Taeri?

Why are you telling her to quit?

That's not what I meant.
Just look at her!

What?

She's been throwing up
everything she eats.

She's been ill and still is.

Can't you see that?

Quitting is harder on Taeri
than anyone else.

We should be more supportive.

So Youngjoo...

Youngjoo!

I didn't mean to say all that.

That's not what I meant.
Just look at her!

At that moment,
I didn't know what to say.

Quitting is harder on Taeri
than anyone else.

We should be more supportive.

I couldn't say a word.

She's been throwing up
everything she eats.

She's been ill and still is.

Can't you see that?

I know. But I didn't see
what was going on.

So Youngjoo...

I was so ashamed of myself,

and I couldn't stay there.

Joungjoo

Did you make it back okay?
Mom made you uncomfortable, right?

I wanted to spend a few more days
with you...too bad.

But I can't hold down
a busy girl like you.

Good luck preparing
for your next mission.

What happened to me?

What? Going already?

Yeah. Don't go so soon.
Stay a little longer.

Sorry. I need some rest.
My brother is picking me up.

You're okay now right?

I know you can't eat much right now,

but when you can,
come over to hang out.

I'll make you some Thai food, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Thanks, everyone.

Can't you just reconsider?

Guys.

There are so many stages in the world.

You just have to find one
that makes you happy.

And you'll be able to shine again on it.

I'm leaving to become happier.

That's not fair.

We can't even try to stop you then.

Oh come on.

It's not like you're never going
to see me again.

I'll come by often.

Yes Taeri. I'll always be here for you.

Yeah, me too.

And me too.

I know what it's like leaving.

It's a tough world out there.
I wish you'd stay.

I'm sorry you couldn't say goodbye
to Youngjoo because of me.

It's not your fault. What did you do?

Tell her I said bye.
That I'll come by to see her.

Yeah.

Here's what you asked for.

Thanks.
I know you didn't have much time.

It's okay. I saw the last mission too.

The response wasn't so bad.

A bit amateurish
but that's what makes them likeable.

You'll be going with five final members?

Red Queen was four...

If you produce them right with Suji
leading the team,

you just might have
a second Red Queen.

A second Red Queen...

That's not what I want.
That's not why I started the project.

Yeah?

I know that idol singers disappear
just as quickly as they appear.

People think they're expendable.

But I don't want
to produce a group like that.

My girls may not shine the brightest,

but I want them to be loved
for a long time.

Shinhyuk.

You've changed.

What's happened to you
in the past year?

It's not so bad.

You always lacked in the humanity side,

but now you've changed for the better.

Is that a compliment or are you
dissing me? Make up your mind.

By the way, I heard Danoh
went to your company.

Yeah, she's good.

Yeah, she was too good
to just record demo songs.

Things haven't worked out for her.

There are tons of girls like her
in this business.

That's why I recruited her.

She'll be a good teacher for the girls.

She'll be singing the demo this time too?

Yeah, we're going to be ready soon.
I want you to do the recording.

- Hello, Mr. Kang.
- Hello.

Did something happen yesterday?

Yeseul was worried about you.

Were you also pretending to be sick?

I told you to take the week off.
What are you doing here?

Taeri left today.

The house felt a bit empty.

We thought maybe we'd feel better
if we practiced dancing.

Yeah?

Okay, then I'll run with you guys today.

Let's run from Seongsan Bridge
to Hangang Bridge.

Go inside and get changed.

What?

How many bridges are there?

I just remembered, I have plans.

Me too.

Let's go, let's go.

Knowing when to rest
is part of your training.

You have the week off so go home.

Okay.

Mr. Kang.

Were you sick?

You look like you've lost weight
in just a day.

I'm fine.

No, your cheeks look hollow.

I'm really okay.

- And your eyes look dim.
- I'm fine.

Did you go see a doctor?
How sick are you?

Huh? Huh?

It's a hangover. A hangover.

What?

Did you have to ask in front of the kids?
It's embarrassing.

Really? You should've invited me.

Wait up!

- A hangover?
- Hilarious. What on earth?

I'm thinking about going with this song
for the next mission.

Danoh is recording the demo
in two days so be ready.

Right.

I wasn't singing. I have a sore throat.

Wow, it's by Melodibro?

Since Taeri left, we should start
preparing for the next mission.

What about the team members though?

Four against five doesn't seem fair.

Yeseul, can you get me that file?

The file on the kids for the Rookie Team.

Oh, sure.

Have some tea.

Are you thinking about that girl
you mentioned before?

Yes.

Won't it be a problem with the others?

It probably will. That's why I want her.

But the real problem is
how to persuade her...

That's what you're best at.
Dangling bait.

I'll leave it up to you then.

By the way, I heard.

Excuse me? What...

Your hangover.

I'm really miffed you know.

You never drank with me when I asked.

Was that bottle of sake that good?

I like sake too...

The thing is...

Forget it. Humph.

I want to eat spicy rice cakes.

- Spicy?
- No, I can't eat spicy food.

Let's eat something that's not spicy.

What are you going to do today?

Anyone else who wants to go home?

My home is in the States, so I'll pass.

Mine's in Japan.

Thailand.

Andong.

What?

Don't look down on Andong.
It's really far.

Yeah, Suji and I are
from the country, too.

Only Youngjoo, Yeeun
and Jiseul live nearby.

Jiseul's already gone.
She must've gone to work.

Where's Suji?

What about you, Yeeun?
Are you going home?

No, I have some stuff to do.

What about you? Back to the house?

It's too good a day to waste...

Let's go get something to eat.
Wanna come?

I don't have a credit card.

I know. It's on me.

Me, too!

Me, too!

Seriously?

Aren't you going?

Me? I don' t know...

I have somewhere I need to go.

You guys have fun.
Be back by 12, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Move, move.

This part's the problem...

Do I really have talent?

Your wish, my wish, our wish added...

Let's hang in there

I messed up. I can't go home.

I messed up the entire math section.

My life is ruined.

I wish all the answers were right.

That'd be a miracle.

Hey, is this that song?
That song that's climbing the charts.

Yeah, it is. Up, down, up, up, down.

Don't forget the dance moves.

Up, down, up, up down. Up, down.

Are you really the same girl
who looked like she was about to die?

Same goes for you.

What's the big deal about
the college entrance exam anyway?

We have other dreams.

Yeah, you're right. Your wish, my wish.

- Fight on!
- Fight on!

What I just said sounded okay, right?

Yeah.

You and me... No.

Your wish, my wish, our wish added.

Your wish, my wish, our wish added...

Don't forget,
you got that inspiration from me.

If this comes out as a song,
I have a share in it, okay?

Whatever.

- You wanna fly this?
- This?

Where to? The wind is blowing this way.
So that way?

Please fly. Please.

Whoosh.

One Americano, please.

Sure.

What about you? American dance?

That's quite fun, isn't it?

So I was thinking...

Would you like to come work with us?

825 ENTERTAINMENT, CEO Minchul Shim

Excuse me?
