Original subtitles

Fine.

But if I win again,

I can't be in the same team as you. You have to leave.

Of course.

But you'll be the one leaving.

Okay.

We'll decide at the final mission then.

Regardless of which team wins,

only one of you will stay, and the other will leave.

Got it?

What? You can't do it?

Should we just call it off?

No.

I'll do it.

Episode 16

- Whoa, nice. - Whoa, nice.

It's okay. We're always together anyway.

Yeah.

Don't give me that goofy smile.

9.9 points!

I'll do my very best!

I'm going to debut with you.

Yeah, let's be on stage together.

Are you okay?

Were you really close with Yeeun?

Sort of...

I know you're worried that Yeeun's team

will get a lot of sympathy votes because of me.

No, I just...

Don't worry.

I'll make sure it doesn't affect the team.

Let's do it together.

We're a team now. Let's all do our best.

Wow.

What's this? Curry?

- It's good. - I know, right?

I'll buy today.

Again?

You just got your credit card back. You're using it again?

What? It's all for our team.

It's okay. Eat all you want.

Especially you, Yeeun.

If you're going to fight that scary girl, you need to keep your strength up.

Yeah.

You think it'll be okay? It seems too harsh

for the losing side to leave the team.

What are you talking about? We just have to win then.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm in full battle mode!

I'm going to eat up and give her a run for her money.

Fight on for a team win!

- Fight on! - Fight on!

Yeeun, eat up.

- Fight on! - Yeeun, fight on!

Fight on!

That was loud.

- It's good. - Right?

- Try this, too. - This is amazing.

Have you tried this before?

Danoh

Can I see you before class?

How about we use these lyrics for the mission song?

What?

What I just said sounded okay, right?

Yeah.

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.

What? Is there any reason why we can't?

She probably won't remember.

She'll have forgotten by now.

Here.

We're using Yeeun's lyrics for the song.

Yeeun, the genuis.

Hey.

Instead of class, we're all here today

because you need an objective evaluation.

So you're all going to sing the main parts,

and I'll decide which part you'll be doing.

Wow.

I have to sing my best. Suck in my stomach.

What are you whispering about?

I've been watching how you've been dividing the parts.

The main and sub vocals are always the same,

and you never try something new.

- Let's begin. - Yes.

Every time I tried to start over,

obstacles stood in my way.

Thinking it'll never be

I cry like a fool, alone,

but even if I fall, I'm going to start over

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

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high, one for all

One for all

Suji has gotten much better

This time, it would be nice if Suji...

...was the main vocal, but you need some more work.

Rookie Team, your main vocal is Yeeun.

You were very expressive. Probably because you wrote the lyrics.

Thank you.

When the sky glowed red in the evening sky

I was alone and you came and held me

Darkness may fall,

but you were always there

Wow.

Good job. Jeewon.

When the sky glowed red in the evening sky

I was alone and you came and held me

Darkness may fall,

but you were always there

Jeewon...

Where have you been all this time?

A new dark horse...

It's hard to decide...

This time, let's go with Jeewon.

Debut Team, your main vocal is Jeewon.

- Good job everyone. - Thank you.

- I'm pooped. - I need sleep.

I'm worn out.

Hold on. Why are we going downstairs?

Yeah, we won. This is our studio now.

Whoa, I totally forgot.

I hate the basement.

- So annoying. - Let's go.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Stop smiling. - Bye.

Stop smiling.

- Ugh, dust. - It's been a while.

We're back here.

We're not back.

It's only for a short while.

It stinks.

Yeah, it's a bit shabby for someone who betrayed her friend and debuted.

Don't mind her, she's still young.

It's true though.

So obnoxious.

Ugh, the smell.

Come over here. I'll teach you the dance routine.

Me? Really?

Thanks.

- One. - One.

- Three and four. - Three and four.

That's so funny.

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high,

I love Yeeun's lyrics.

Me, too.

You have to bring your own towel.

Oh, it was just in the bathroom. I...

What was that for?

I'd rather not share towels with you.

If you didn't want anyone to use it, you shouldn't have left it there.

You're still leaving things behind.

What did you say?

What? It's true, isn't it?

Is it your hobby to take other people's stuff?

What?

(Yeeun's) How can you say that?

What's this?

Since you jog everyday. Fight on!

I have the same pair. Your Secret Santa

What should I do?

Youngjoo

You know Taeri's home address, right?

Are you still going to the hospital?

Huh?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Youngjoo, I'm not running way.

I've been having a really rough time.

I didn't know why I was doing this.

Or whether I even liked doing it.

But I still believed I could be happy someday.

But my happiness doesn't lie there.

Is it...

because of me?

No.

I want to find something I'm really good at.

And the time I spent with you and the others

gave me the courage to do that.

My brother said

there's no such thing as meaningless time.

Even the times you think you've failed

end up becoming gifts in some way.

The time I spent with our team was a gift.

So don't feel sorry.

We need more impact here.

Yeah, you're right.

Then...

Stay a little stronger

Like this? Is it okay?

Sounds good.

Great. Jiseul is a genius.

What? Stop it.

I want it to feel as if there really will be a miracle.

Is that possible in choreography?

How about we make the motions larger.

Looks okay.

- Looks good to me. - It goes well with the lyrics.

- Nice. - I like it.

- Yeah. - Great.

- Cute. - I like it.

Perfect. Our team is going to win.

- We won! - Mint is going to show us again.

This is how it goes.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Good.

Isn't it kind of old?

Which part?

It's how all the other girl groups dance.

There's nothing new.

Do you have any ideas then?

Yeah.

So far, the viewers have seen all the stage performances.

Instead of any major changes, how about we do hip hop?

Yeah? Then do you want to choreograph the routine?

Okay.

Mr. Kang wants you in the main studio.

- Okay. - What's going on?

Singers need music videos to promote their songs.

For this mission, you'll be creating your own music video.

What?

We have to make it ourselves?

No way. You're kidding right?

I don't think he is.

He totally means it.

Each team will get a minimum amount of staff.

The team who won previously also gets a small production fee.

Yes!

As for the dance routine, the leaders will consult and combine it into one.

- The leaders? - Yes, the leaders.

This mission isn't just about getting ready for a performance.

The leaders have to come up with a concept, direct,

and bring their team together.

Leadership could determine the outcome.

Who gets to be the leader?

That's up to you to decide.

They'll be your leaders after all.

Then our team...

Suji.

Yeah, Suji will be a great leader.

Me? No way.

Let's not go through the hassle of voting. Suji, you be the leader.

Suji, congratulations.

No, no.

Leader.

Aren't you going to choose a leader?

We already have a leader.

It's obviously...

Youngjoo.

Why is it obvious?

Why does she have to be the leader?

Can we choose a new leader?

Are you saying you want to be the leader?

No. When did I say that?

Then what?

For the past few days,

it felt like Sori was the actual leader of this team.

She's the oldest,

and she's trained just as long as you,

so why can't she be the leader?

You all listen to her and trust her.

- Yeah, that's true. - Yeah, right.

What? No way. I can't be the leader.

Right?

Since we're on the subject, let's vote for a new leader.

It'd be nice to freshen up the team a little, don't you think?

I guess so.

Then give it a try.

Now that I think about it, I think I'll be more comfortable with Sori as the leader.

Yeah, Youngjoo can be a bit direct.

It's decided already.

Mr. Kang said we could change our leader.

Why aren't you going in?

What did Mr. Kang say?

We have to decide on a concept for the music video first.

Then the staff will help us get ready for the shoot.

But being team leader... Do you really think it'll be okay?

I think it'll be better if Youngjoo is our leader,

since she's the one who's been leading us so far.

- What? - Sori.

Youngjoo's worked hard for the past two years and...

No.

Everyone wants you to be the leader.

Huh?

It's you they want, not me.

And Mr. Kang okayed it too.

What?

Do I look like I'm obsessed with being the leader?

No, that's not it...

It's okay. I never liked it anyway.

- I was so surprised. - What should we do?

Whoa. I can't believe Youngjoo is stepping down.

Jeewon threw a major punch. She had that look in her eyes.

Yeah. I got that feeling the moment I saw her.

A force that could beat Youngjoo...

So... what should our concept be?

Any good ideas?

Well, think about it individually.

Let's practice the song today.

Mint, which part are you having trouble with?

Right here, here, and here.

All of it?

The pronuncation is hard for me.

It's okay. Yeeun, can you help her?

Mint will help you with your dancing.

Sure.

What?

Yeeun, you're the vocal teacher for the Rookie Team.

Yeah.

Yeeun, Yeeun, Yeeun.

I love your lyrics.

What would our team do without you?

How does it feel coming down

from your castle?

Surprising, isn't it?

The girl that everybody thought got in as a favor has now become a leader,

and the ace of a team

has been pushed to the side.

It doesn't matter.

Really?

You're never honest about your feelings.

This is no time to close your eyes and ears

and feel sorry for yourself.

What would happen if the leader of a country was so narrow-minded?

The same goes for a team leader.

It doesn't matter.

I'm not the leader anymore anyway.

Why do you think I brought this up?

Excuse me?

The reason why you've been feeling lost.

Isn't that what you're trying to find?

You know what your problem is now.

Don't be swayed by emotions,

and think of this as an opportunity to step back and be objective.

You won't get another chance like this.

Right, left.

Harder.

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3, 4.

Hold and down, down, up, up.

1, 2, 1, 1, 2.

Bam, bam, bam, and down.

Sori...

Since Youngjoo isn't here,

can't we just call it a day and go home?

I have menstrual cramps.

Really? Is it that bad?

Yes.

We still have to practice singing...

Okay then.

Thanks, Sori! Let's go.

I'm going to practice up on the rooftop.

- See you later. - Yeah.

Youngjoo's been doing this on her own all this time?

Tada.

Suji, what are you doing here? You didn't go home?

We said we'd shoot a video clip of our routine today.

Oh, right. Sorry. I forgot.

Did you decide on a concept?

No, not yet.

There's still time, so we're going to think about it

and talk it over again tomorrow.

What about you?

Same here.

I don't think the girls have any ideas.

Youngjoo used to do everything, and we just followed her lead.

It's hard trying to do all of this so suddenly.

And it's a lot of pressure.

Yeah.

Still, you're good in your own way,

so stop making comparisons.

Why don't you talk it over with the others?

They might appreciate that.

You think?

I guess I should.

So funny.

What was that?

Did you see that?

He's so handsome.

Sori

Think about some ideas for the music video concept by tomorrow.

- Look at this. - What?

Ideas?

Do you have any?

I just want to finish watching this.

Thinking makes my stomach hurt all over again.

Coming up with ideas is such a pain.

Can't the leader just decide like before?

Yeah.

Forget it. I'm just going to watch this drama.

We have Sori and Youngjoo. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Yeah. Let's watch.

He's so cute.

So hot.

Why aren't you wearing the sneakers I got you?

You don't like them?

No, it's not that...

The thing is...

Oh.

No wonder you always wore that pair.

It's like a lucky charm.

A lucky charm?

There.

Just wear whatever you want.

Thanks. I really do like them.

We still have the same sneakers though.

Ow. That hurt.

- Ow. - Undo them.

You're so weird.

You're weird because you're weird.

Undo this one, too.

Why do you think I brought this up?

There's a saying in Africa.

If you want to walk quickly, go alone.

But if you want to go far, go together.

Whenever I hear this, I'm reminded of

my friends and family.

It's said that life is a marathon.

If we have to run that long race alone,

wouldn't it be too lonely and hard?

Going far together?

Is this the best for your team?

Doing everything on your own?

Is it because you can't work together or you don't want to?

Right.

I get it now.

Like a flower...

I like it.

I think it's okay as long as it's not too flashy.

And makeup like this..

Looks good.

Then you all agree, we're going for a fresh look?

Okay.

Let's look into a few more places for the shoot and go check it out later.

Jiseul, does that fit into your work schedule?

If you tell me beforehand, I can adjust the time.

Okay.

So we know where we're shooting. What's left is...

We're done.

We are? Already?

Yes.

Remember our first meeting? It was a mess.

This is why the leader is important.

Suji, our leader.

Since we're done, I'll buy.

- Hi. - Hi.

Don't you guys have a meeting?

No. We were sleepy after lunch so we took a walk.

We're going back inside now.

But Sori has been waiting for you.

It's okay. She'll understand.

- Yeah. - Still...

Let's go.

Where are they?

Shouldn't you talk to them about this?

Huh? I guess. But Kika wasn't feeling well...

It's so obvious she was lying.

They just went home and watched dramas all night.

What?

Being a good listener is fine,

but a leader should also have some charisma.

You're too soft on them

and they're taking advantage of you.

Stop it.

You're the one that recommended her as the leader.

So have some more faith in her instead of complaining all the time.

Sori.

I bought you some coffee.

Just sit down. We have to decide what our concept is going to be.

I'm tired.

Let's just shoot our video at the beach. Great idea, right?

How about we all wear red like that?

Okay.

It's a pretty color but...

Then what about this?

Any other opinions?

Youngjoo, what about you?

Is there anything you like?

Or do you have any ideas?

I don't know. I'm just going to follow everyone else's opinion this time.

Yeah?

This is taking forever.

Let's just choose something from what was mentioned.

This is important. We can't just choose anything.

Then Sori, can't you decide for us?

You're the leader.

What?

That's what Youngjoo did when she was the leader.

Why don't we think about it some more?

Let's just practice our parts first. We'll be recording soon.

Yeah, let's do that.

Is that okay with you?

Yeah, sure.

Can I change my part though?

It's too high for me.

What?

Me, too. I want to try something new.

I like Youngjoo's part.

Fine, then you can take my part.

I don't mind.

Wow, really?

Thanks, Youngjoo.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah, it's a team mission. It doesn't matter who does it.

As long as it is done well.

What?

Still, I feel bad for you.

Sori, you're the leader. You make the final decision.

I have total faith in you. I'll just follow your lead.

Youngjoo.

I'm not trying to be difficult.

Don't look at me like that. It embarasses me.
