Episode 18

Are you mad?

He doesn't know anything. Don't be mad.

Are you mad because I didn't tell you about the surgery?

It may be cancer, but it was very minor.

I got surgery and I'm all better now. So...

Stop it.

How much guiltier are you going to make me feel?

He was right too, you know.

What?

I am unemployed and untalented.

And I'm an embarrassment to you both.

What?

So I'm going to quit.

I'm going to quit trying to be an idol singer

and come back home.

Says who?

Dad.

Why should you quit? There's nothing wrong with you.

It's been 10 years.

You know that.

I'm only embarrassing myself. I can't do it anymore.

It's more embarrassing to make excuses and run away.

Dad.

Sori.

Sometimes, when I'm growing crops,

green sprouts grow in the fields in the spring.

They look like weeds, but I can't be sure.

I think about pulling them out but then I forget about it.

But then in the summer,

they bloom into beautiful flowers.

Those small little flowers are so pretty.

And every time I see them,

I think about you.

They may not look like much at first,

but in the end, they become flowers.

I believe that you'll become a flower, too.

What does it matter if you bloom a little later?

You could be in bloom longer and be more fragrant.

That would be nice too, wouldn't it?

Dad.

So Sori,

no matter what anyone says, no matter how hard it gets,

don't give up on your dreams, okay?

That's the only way you'll become a flower, right?

Yeah.

Yes, Dad.

I promise, I'll become a flower.

Really? That's great. I'm so happy for you.

I'm just starting out. I'm always cleaning there, too.

Still, you sound really happy.

You like it there, don't you?

Yeah. I'm actually really excited.

Cute. That's great.

Yeah, I'll be in touch.

I guess she's not coming today either...

Are you waiting for Sori?

Uh... Well...

I was just wondering how Yukika was doing.

I'm going to have some coffee. You?

Really? Taeri's in a theater group?

She's the youngest so she always has to do the cleaning up,

but she sounded really happy.

That's good.

I was really worried about her.

She's fine. She's changed.

And so have you.

You really seem like a thumb now.

A thumb?

Mr. Kang said before,

that the thumb is the leader among the five fingers

because it's the only finger that can look at the other four.

You're finally looking at your team now, right?

Maybe that's why you look much better these days.

Kika, how's your ankle?

It's much better now since I rested yesterday.

Good, I was worried.

Thanks.

Wasn't Mr. Kang so cool yesterday though?

He was like, "Kika!" and picked her right up.

He looked like the hero in a romance.

It totally made Kika's day.

So? Did you like it?

No, my ankle hurt too much...

but I loved it.

- Nice. - I'm so jealous.

Sori, you're back.

Sori. You're back.

I need to talk to you. Just for a bit.

I've done a lot of thinking.

And I think you should be the leader again.

What?

I hate to admit it,

but I wasn't good at it, and it was too much for me to handle.

I don't want to be the leader anymore.

You can say I'm being selfish and irresponsible,

but I'm stepping down as leader.

Sori.

I'm not like you guys. I'm going to be 30 soon,

and if I don't get to debut this time, it'll be over for me.

I'll have to quit trying to be an idol singer.

What?

So I have to debut this time, or die trying.

I don't have time to waste trying to be a leader when I'm not even cut out for it.

It's the best for our team as well.

So Youngjoo, you be the leader. It's what's right.

Sori.

It was always your place.

You're the center of this team, and I realized

that I can only do my best when I trust in you.

I'm sorry I didn't understand any of your hardships as a leader,

and for always getting mad and complaining.

I'm really sorry, Youngjoo.

Aren't you going to accept my apology?

I'm sorry, too.

I've learned a lot of things as well.

And I'd like to apologize to you and the others.

That's alright. And thanks.

Let's all do the best we can.

Okay? Leader?

Yeah. I'm really excited.

Sori.

I'm sorry. For everything.

Yukika. Do you have any idea what you put me through?

I'll do so much better from now on.

Yeah, we all need to do better.

We have to debut this time.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

So work hard okay?

Says the snake.

What?

- What? What's so funny? - What's so funny?

I don't get her sense of humor.

We only have one week left before the mission.

Let's win this time and debut.

Fight on.

Debut Team, fight on!

Not so fast.

We're not going to lose to you.

- We're going to win. - Yeah.

Debut Team, Debut Team.

Debut Team, Debut Team, Debut Team.

Rookie Team, Rookie Team, Rookie Team.

Debut Team, Debut Team, Debut Team.

Rookie Team, Rookie Team, Rookie Team.

This is cute, isn't it?

What's that?

That's kind of gross.

Okay.

Good work girls.

Thank you.

Guys, look at this.

What about this one?

Action!

You look like you've been caught writing a love letter.

What are you doing? Get out of the way.

You look like you've been caught writing a love letter.

You can do that later.

Stop butting in. I'm the lead role.

Eat some pizza.

I have some important announcements to make before the shoot tomorrow.

The director and staff of your music video

will have a short meeting as soon as you finish your hair and makeup tomorrow.

Danoh and I will be in charge of each team.

I'm in charge of the Debut Team

and Danoh will be in charge of the Rookie Team.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

- Thank you. -Bye.

Oh. Are those your outfits for tomorrow?

Let's see.

No, no spoilers.

Oh, come on.

No way.

Suji worked for days to make these.

Right Suji?

Yeah, I think my arms, back and fingers are all broken.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Need a kiss? - No.

Come on, baby.

Brother

Where are you? Grandfather is in Seoul.

He wants to stop by your school dorm to see you while he's there.

What? Oh no. He'll find out if he goes there.

What am I going to do?

Get ready and come out. I'll try to head him off somewhere else.

Okay.

That's enough.

Haseo, I hope you're behaving at school?

You're not to do anything to shame the family, do you understand?

Yes.

When do you graduate?

She's a senior now.

Is that so?

Then it's time to find a good match for you.

What?

What? Your sister got married and had a baby at that age.

But...

You're four years behind because you wanted to go to college.

What's the point of a girl studying more?

Girls should get married and look after their husbands.

Yes.

What time do you have to go back home today?

I have a school project and I have to go in early.

Forget the project.

We're going to your uncle's today and you're coming along.

You have somewhere to be tomorrow.

What?

You're doing what?

Are you insane?

What if people recognize you?

You heard what grandfather said.

Do you really expect me to just get married?

I'm only 23!

No way in hell. Why should I?

You're not the only one.

Everyone in our family has lived like this.

Our aunts, our sister.

Even me.

Well I don't want to. I want to do what I want in life.

Being a singer? An idol singer?

What's wrong with that? What wrong with being an idol?

Haseo.

Why are you being so difficult?

You know how stubborn grandfather is.

You think you can persuade him?

Well...

See. You can't.

But you think you can be an idol singer?

Do you have to end up in serious trouble to get your act together?

Wake up. It's never going to happen.

You're wrong. This is what I want. And I'm going to do it.

Let's go.

Well? Come along.

Rookie Team's Art Supplies List

Sorry, something came up. I can't make it today.

I'll call you tomorrow.

What's going on?

Should I push the makeup session back?

I guess it'll be okay.

Hey? Are you okay?

Huh? Yeah.

I haven't been getting much sleep, that's all.

I'm fine.

Go easy. Don't risk your life over a mission.

You are doing that too, aren't you?

What?

I don't know why you came here,

but I do know that you're serious.

So that means, we have to work that much harder, right?

Girls, hurry up. Everyone's waiting at the salon.

- Okay. - Move it.

Debut Team vs Rookie Team, Round 4, Music Video Shoot D-day

I'll take grandfather home.

I'll be back soon, so we'll talk then.

Oh, this hanbok dress!

Guys.

This is the makeup artist who'll be helping out with your makeup today.

Hi, I'm Pony.

- Hello. - Hello.

Applause.

You know she's very busy and very famous, don't you?

We're lucky to have her, thanks to Mr. Kang.

Learn from her, and ask her anything you want.

Okay.

Put your costumes in the fitting room.

Okay.

Since this is for your music video, we're going to do something special.

Suji, you have a slightly yellowish tone to your complexion,

so you should use a purple primer

to brighten your tone before you put on makeup.

Okay.

Pony, what color should I use?

You're a bit pale.

So a pink primer would give you some color

before you do your makeup.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Suji.

Hey. What's up with you two? You have matching sneakers.

We got them together.

Nice, right?

You had a lonely Christmas

so you two decided to date, is that it?

What? No, I was Suji's Secret Santa. So.

Oh, that's nice.

You must've spent a lot.

Well, Suji did so much for me all this time.

- Right? - Yeeun.

What is wrong with you guys?

Get away from each other.

That hurt.

Cut it out.

Don't hang out with her.

You're so nauseating.

What's up with them?

- What? - What on earth?

- I don't know. - Let's go. Don't hang out with them.

- You're not stopping me? - No.

Go away, you love birds.

What on earth?

So annoying. They're doing this on purpose.

Kika, hurry up. We're the last ones.

Why are you last?

I was supposed to be in the same group as Haseo.

Yeah, but she asked me to trade spots.

She said she's going to be a little late.

Why do you have so much stuff? Is it all yours?

No, Haseo asked me to bring it.

I should've asked the girls to help when they left a while ago.

It's so heavy.

I'll help.

Thank you.

What's in this though?

Our costumes.

I wanted to see them.

Can I just take a peek?

- No. - Let me see.

No, Haseo will get mad. - Please.

Kika is as pretty as ever.

Oh yeah.

I need to give this back to her.

Hurry up.

Ask her to apply glitter under your eyes, like me.

You're so pretty!

I can't wait to get my makeup done.

Jiseul, you look great.

- Awesome. - Awesome.

Let's see.

Stop it. You're such a pain.

- You're embarrassed? - You're embarrassed.

- No, I'm not. - Cute.

I'm not.

- So cute. - So cute.

Where's Haseo?

She said she'd come straight here.

Sorry. I'm here.

Where have you been? You didn't even come home last night.

Oh, that...

What's this? Costumes as well?

Uh, no.

Where are our costumes?

Oh, I brought it. Over there.

Why'd you put that over there? That is important stuff.

Yeah, Suji worked so hard on them.

Keep an eye on it.

- Keep an eye on it. - You need to be scolded like a kid?

Jiseul, you look amazing.

What about me?

Girls, I almost didn't recognize you.

You'll look great on camera today.

Did you all bring your costumes and props?

Yes.

Alright. If you're done getting ready,

go wait at the café downstairs, it's too crowded here.

The staff who'll be helping you out today will be waiting for you.

Leaders, go first and check the layout.

Mint, Haseo, Yukika, go and get your makeup done.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Go. - Let's go.

Going to work already?

The girls won't have started the shoot yet.

No, I have another meeting to attend.

There's a lot to do for the last mission.

I appreciate everything you're doing.

You're going to come to the surprise event though, aren't you?

Uh...yes, if I have time.

It's on the weekend, so I hope you can make the time.

We even got special team t-shirts.

Team t-shirts...right.

The girls will love them. I can't wait to see them in them.

I should get going.

- Debut Team, go get changed. - Okay.

I'll carry the heavy one.

Hey. Where are our costumes?

What? Is something missing?

Our suitcase with the costumes.

I saw it right here earlier.

Yeah. Where did it go though?

What?

Did anyone move the suitcase with our costumes?

We put it over there earlier.

Well, it's gone.

No one saw it?

No.

Girls, what's going on? We don't have much time. Let's go.

Our costumes are missing.

What? Your costumes?

They're all handmade. They can't be missing.

Are you sure you brought the suitcase?

Yes, I brought it myself.

I saw it too.

Then it should be here somewhere. Spread out and look for it.

- Okay. - Hurry up.

I'm sure I put it there.

Isn't the Rookie Team coming?

We're looking for something.

The staff is waiting. You go ahead.

Okay. Let's go.

- Go, go. - Bye.

- Go. - Bye.

It's too late.

It's too late.

Sorry.

Here.

What color is mine? Black?

- Black? - Thank you very much.

Did you happen to take our costumes as well?

It's not here.

Yes, can you look?

It's not at the café either.

What about the house? Did you look?

I searched all the rooms. It's not there.

I told you, I brought the suitcase.

It's not with the Debut Team either.

Then where on earth did it go?

What are we going to do?

We can't do anything without our costumes.

Yeah, we can't shoot the video looking like this.

We can't.

Then what?

Who did it? Who took our costumes?

I don't think anyone took it on purpose.

No.

Maybe someone did.

What are you talking about?

Who would? Why?

What are you talking about?

Is the suitcase you're looking for pink?

Yes, did you see it?

I did...

It was right over there?

I saw someone taking it...

Who?

One of the girls from the team that left.

The Debut Team?

The tall girl wearing a checkered dress.

Jeewon.

What do you mean? She took our costumes?

She didn't just take them, she probably threw them out.

Why?

Don't you get it?

She was jealous and threw our costumes out.

Just so we'd fail.

Hello? Oh, yes.

- Again. - Like this?

Hey, Jeewon.

It was you, wasn't it?

What are you talking about?

We already know it was you.

What? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, what's going on?

Well...our costumes are missing.

We looked everywhere but they're gone.

And...

Someone at the hair salon saw Jeewon take it.

What?

You're saying Jeewon stole your costumes?

Hey.

You're wrong. I didn't take anything.

Are you sure?

You've been acting really weird.

You looked like you knew something when Suji was searching for the suitcase.

I saw you.

So you suspect me?

Someone saw you with our suitcase.

Wouldn't you be suspicious too?

What?

It wasn't you, was it? Jeewon?

Tell us the truth.

Did you see a pink suitcase at the salon?

Yes, I did.

But that's it.

Why would I take it?

Why? To ruin our music video.

Right?

Mint, how can you say that?

Yeah, how could you even think

that she'd steal your costumes to ruin your video?

Why not? This is a competition.

What?

Do you have any proof?

Huh?

Other than what the staff saw, you don't have any proof.

She could be wrong or there could be a misunderstanding.

It's not right to charge into our shoot

without knowing all the circumstances.

You're right. We're sorry.

We shouldn't have come here.

Then go away.

You may have everyone else fooled, but not me.

It was you, wasn't it?

It was you.

Now really.

You're the ones who lost it. Why are you accusing me?

What did I do?

You're more than capable of doing something like this.

You're making a big mistake.

A mistake?

Then was what you did to me a mistake, too?

Say something.

I'm asking you, did you do this?

Do you really think I could do something like that?

Yes. I do. You're capable.

Don't you think you're being unfair?

If you have any problems with me, tell me. Don't hurt my entire team.

I'm really sorry,

but I don't have the time to ruin your video.

Honestly, I don't even care what you do.

So get that through your head.

What?

Are you done?

What do you think you're doing?

Can't you see we're in the middle of a shoot?

We apologize. We apologize.

- We apologize. - We apologize.

- We apologize. - We apologize.

- We apologize. - We apologize.

What's going on here?

What do you think you're doing in front of the staff?

We apologize.

Rookies, what is this?

If your costumes were that important, you should've taken better care of it.

We apologize.

But it's not fair.

What?

We didn't lose them. Someone took them.

We're the victims here.

So it's not your fault?

Don't you have any manners at all?

Not only did you lose your costumes, you suspect someone without cause,

and then you charged onto their set and ruined their mission.

You showed a complete disregard for them,

and for the people who came to help you.

Is this competition a joke to you?

This mission is over.

You lost.

Many thanks to PONY for her special appearance
