Ko Mi-nam.

You're a funny one.

Reverend Mother,

the star in my heart exploded into a thousand million fragments.

What do I do now?

I lost it for a second because I was so angry.

I'm usually not like this at all.

Why did I do that?

Oh! Is it Ko Mi-nam?

It feels like fireworks are going off in my chest.

I feel dizzy...

Shin-woo?

Why's he calling me?

Oh, right. I promised to meet up with him.

-Mi-nam, where are you? -Me?

I'm...

Where am I again?

Is something wrong? Are you all right?

I...

There are fireworks...

Okay, Mi-nam, focus. Tell me where you are right now.

I'll go to you.

I should rest

until the fireworks die down.

Why did he do that?

Tae-gyung, why did you do that?

What do you think?

Why do you think I did that, Ko Mi-nam?

Was he angry?

He didn't do that the other times he was angry.

Then why did you do that this time?

What do you think?

Why do you think I did it, Ko Mi-nam?

He's not like that.

So why did you do that, seriously...

What do you think?

Why do you think I did that to you, Ko Mi-nam?

The fireworks won't stop.

What do I do?

How do I send Ko Mi-nam back to where she's from?

Should I tell Hwang Tae-gyung all about the convent thing?

No, I have to be careful and play my cards right this time.

Everything would be fine if he just liked me...

but I bet he's still mad at me.

He won't even acknowledge me?

Hey, Hwang Tae-gyung!

Are you still mad at me?

I have nothing to be mad about

I know you'll keep being you, so I have nothing to say.

I have a lot on my mind right now

So just go.

Hey.

You're not even going to get mad at me?

Am I nothing to you?

How can a woman like me be nothing?

I'm pretty, I'm super popular.

We were named The Best Matched Couple in Korea.

How could you not like me?

Yes,

it is true that you're pretty and popular.

But this relationship is a fake and a lie.

Don't get confused.

Then what will you do if Ko Mi-nam gets confused and says she likes you?

She won't get confused by me.

She's dead set, even throwing away her pride like a fool.

What is she dead set on?

Enough about her. Go.

Then...

don't you get confused by Ko Mi-nam either.

Ko Mi-nam is a guy!

Don't confuse her as a woman.

I...

I'm not one to get confused.

Ko Mi-nam is not a woman.

Then when you...

bought her a hairpin and clothes and took care of her,

was that all insignificant? All meaningless?

Yes. It all meant nothing.

I just did those things. It's nothing!

That's what you think! Do you really think she feels the same way?

She...

She was indifferent.

Yes?

Still. Don't be nice to her.

I'll decide whether I'll be nice to her or not!

Mind your own business and leave!

Why are you getting mad at me?

He got mad at me.

That's better than indifference, I suppose.

You heard that, didn't you, Ko Mi-nam?

You're nothing to him.

She was calm. Indifferent.

How could she be so unaffected?

Whatever. It didn't affect me either.

If you get pissed, you lose.

It meant nothing to him.

I'm nothing to him.

Yet I still wanted to ask him why he did all that. I'm so stupid.

Reverend Mother.

I'm so upset and embarrassed and humiliated.

She said she was here. But where is she?

Mi-nam, please, pick up the phone.

Is she sick again? Did something happen?

Is that you, Mi-nam?

I was so worried about you.

What are you doing in the dark?

Don't turn on the lights!

What's wrong with you?

Don't turn on the lights. Please.

I just want to stay in the dark.

I'm so embarrassed about my heart and feelings...

I just want to hide them away in the darkness.

How long were you planning to stay and cry like this?

After you finished crying,

did you even think of coming to me?

Shin-woo...

No. You had completely forgotten about me.

And yet...

I waited for you.

I ended up running back to you.

I feel like a fool for getting my hopes up and worrying for you!

I'm so sorry for breaking my promise to you.

I was too selfish and only thought of myself.

I'm so tired of putting you first and being thoughtful.

See for yourself, see how I feel in the light!

Mi-nam. You...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry...

I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

It's all right.

Sorry I got mad at you.

Why did I do that?

I was very angry, that's why.

Why was I angry?

Because Ko Mi-nam was being an idiot and said she'll go to Shin-woo.

Why did I stop her?

Because I didn't want her to get hurt.

Why don't I want that?

What is Ko Mi-nam to me?

This is complicated. And confusing.

I need to see Ko Mi-nam under bright light and think about this again.

Today,

I rented a restaurant just to confess to her, you know.

I shelled out a small fortune.

But it's all gone to waste now.

I'm sorry.

I had planned a really cheesy event too.

I was going to give her flowers and a present...

and serenade her.

But it's all ruined now because of me.

Yes. It's all your fault.

I'm just kidding. It's not your fault.

I guess she's not ready yet.

I'll just be a fool

for a little longer, I guess.

Even if it's much later,

if she receives the flowers and present and hears your song,

she'll know your feelings for her.

You think so?

The flowers and present are a no-go,

but I guess I can still sing.

You're going to sing it now?

Sure, for practice.

You hear it first.

Yes. I'll listen to it carefully.

Oh. You know what,

I should change the title.

What should I change it to?

"A Song For A Fool." That sounds good.

Because I'm a fool

I guess it's all right if I get hurt

They tease me, saying it's a foolish love

But I'm just a fool, just a fool

I treated her well because I wanted to

That was enough to make me happy

Just one smile from her

Is all I need to be happy

Until the person she loves appears in front of her

I'll just stay here, by her side

I'm happy that I can give everything to my love

I don't expect anything back

I'll always be there, close enough for her to reach

I'll always be there, close enough to answer to her call

I'll always be there, now and forever

Because I love her

Because I'm a fool

That was a beautiful song.

Don't you think it's too stupid?

You're not ashamed or embarrassed of how you feel.

You aren't apologetic for it.

All you're doing is loving her, with all your heart.

He may be a fool, but he's an awesome fool.

Do you think someone who is nothing

can become that awesome?

It's possible that the other person may not know anything.

But no one is nothing.

Yes.

Crying because you're nothing

is more foolish than a fool.

Buy me something to eat in return for the song. I'm hungry.

Let's go somewhere as expensive as the restaurant.

I don't have that much money.

I'll loan you some money, then. Pay me back with lots of interest.

What do you want to eat, Shin-woo?

In bright light, it's even more confusing.

What is she to me, exactly?

Yes, Mr. An.

You even sent along a flower basket for the song request

and you succeeded in persuading him!

He's one heck of a stubborn kid, how did you get through him?

He must have liked the song.

How was it?

The lyric begging for the person to please come back was impactful.

That lyric is why this song is so important to me.

You did resolve the copyright issue, right?

Yes.

I take it that you met up with the composer and hit it off again.

Hey.

The composer, Mr. Ko Jae-hyeon, passed away a long time ago.

You didn't know?

What?

Were you any successful in finding his children?

Yes. I think I can find one of the twins.

They must be so big now.

Were you close with Mr. Ko?

I mean, if you know his children, I assume you were...

I don't know if they would remember me, I saw them when they were quite young.

They sang really well. They were adorable.

I still remember them fighting over the cookies I made for them.

Oh, excuse me.

I didn't know he died.

If he wasn't, I would be by his side now,

not trying to make a memory with his song.

That man is just the same as you.

The woman who abandoned her kid for "love,"

and the man who made a love song for the two. You're both the same.

I'm sure you suited each other.

The kids' mother...

died as soon as she gave birth.

So you made desserts and laid them at their feet, to be their mother?

Yes, I did.

I loved him so much,

I was willing to be their mother.

Be their what?

If he didn't pass away so early,

they would have been your siblings.

I can't believe you actually thought of being a mother to someone.

What a terrifying love.

It is.

My love is terrifyingly great.

Then go find them and play mother.

The song will be my congratulatory gift.

By the way, when you tell me I'm really cool,

why don't you do this?

Right.

You're really cool!

If she would come now and distract me with all her clumsiness,

she would be quite useful.

Today is the most precious day,

for you were born.

Thank you for being born.

I'm glad to hear that my fingers were useful!

If I had known, I should have just glued all ten of them together!

His car's here, so I assume he's also home.

I hope he's all right.

Maybe something happened with his mother again.

He's still not asleep.

Did something really happen?

Well, I guess...

she wasn't that unaffected.

He looks so down, I can't cause him more trouble.

No, I should tell him that I'm all right

so he wouldn't waste his time worrying about me.

Tae-gyung.

I'm really all right.

Did I make a typo?

Tae-gyung. That was pretty good.

Oh, no!

Not "pretty good"!

If he sees this he'll misunderstand for sure!

That's not what I meant to send!

What do I do?

What do I do?

Right.

The music's so loud, it probably drowned out the notification.

Yes, if he saw it he would have come after me already.

I have to erase it before he sees it!

Tae-gyung?

Is he in the bathroom?

I have to find his phone quick! Where is it?

I have to erase it! Quickly!

Password? What the heck is this?

What do I do? What could his password be?

What is it?

Four, eight, two, zero.

Four, eight, two, zero.

It worked!

"Tae-gyung.

That was pretty good"?

It was a typo! A typo!

I meant to write "all right"! "I'm really all right"!

I really didn't mean to write "That was pretty good"!

You never fail to meet my expectations.

Pig Rabbit.

"That was pretty good"?

I'm sorry.

Ko Mi-nam.

Phone.

Are you really all right?

Yes. I'm really all right.

Fine.

Then I'll delete "That was pretty good."

From today on, this incident

has been all deleted.

Yes. Please, delete it all.

DELETE THIS MESSAGE? YES

Ko Mi-nam.

You're going to bruise something fierce.

You know we have a photoshoot tomorrow.

Be sure to apply it amply, so the bruise doesn't last.

Thank you.

Make sure it doesn't get in your eyes.

Ouch, it hurts!

Don't rub them!

It stings, it hurts!

Don't touch! It will make more go in. Stay still!

It stings, it hurts! It hurts so much!

Water. Rinse with running water.

It stings so much, it hurts.

Stay still.

Put out your face.

Stay still! I told you not to touch it!

That's cold!

Is it better now?

It still prickles and it's hard to open my eyes.

Just don't open them and go straight to bed.

Yes, I will. Thank you.

Good night.

Be careful!

I'm sorry.

Ko Mi-nam. Let's go.

Stairs.

Tae-gyung.

Are you mad at me?

You can't even see, how do you know if I'm mad or not?

Because I'm a nuisance that keeps making you angry.

At first, yes.

That's what you were to me.

But now, you're...

Whatever I am to you, I'm fine with it.

Anyhow, I was smiling just now.

I'm not mad at you.

That's good to hear.

Nice, get a little closer! Act like you're close! Great!

A little more. Jump! Higher!

Mi-nam's premiere didn't go as planned and wasn't successful.

So this photoshoot really has to garner attention.

Thank you so much for agreeing to be a part of it, He-i.

Of course.

Anything for Tae-gyung.

Where are these kids, anyway?

Ko Mi-nam.

I want to shoot with you. Don't we have any shoots together?

I'm sure there will be later.

I'm a bit sleepy.

Why are they all clustered over there when beautiful He-i is right here?

Even Tae-gyung's with them.

The photoshoot concept is a woman surrounded by men, after all.

And you're that woman! Surrounded by A.N.JELL,

doesn't it feel pretty good?

I'm sure if you're that woman, you'll feel great.

I'll buy you really good food.

Hey, Tae-gyung! Come over here!

It suddenly got really cold.

I'm the one dressed like a princess but she's the one being treated like it.

Whatever.

As long as Tae-gyung isn't next to her, it's fine.

And besides, she'll be heading back to the convent after all this ends anyway.

The convent that Mi-nyeo was at is nearby, it's that way.

So,

is Mi-nam going back to the convent for sure?

I mean, she might work at the orphanage there

or try to go to Rome again.

She won't be able to confess to Shin-woo before she leaves?

They all know she's a girl,

can't she say something before she goes?

I doubt she'll be able to.

All right, over here!

Honey...

Shin-woo. Jermy. Aren't you going to help me?

Get over here. Now.

Let's go!

If you don't, I'll kill you.

Here. You hold it.

You, help lift my train.

Thanks for lending me a hand, everyone.

Hold the parasol properly.

-Carry it properly. -Yes.

Are you envious?

No, I'm fine.

He-i's so lucky.

She's pretty, popular, sweet, and nice.

And on top of that, her boyfriend's Tae-gyung

and her friends are Shin-woo and Jermy.

When I see her, I know she's at least saved a country in her past life.

But you,

you're a girl but have to pretend you're a guy.

I'm sure you'll be pretty too, if you dress up.

Like this,

I feel just like Marie Antoinette.

Extragavant, flamboyant, beautiful. It's totally you, Fake Fairy.

But do you know what her end was?

What?

Beheaded.

You're so uneducated.

Hwang Tae-gyung.

You know I spout whatever comes to mind when I get angry, right?

Tae-gyung.

Don't make He-i mad.

You should be more careful, Tae-gyung.

Fine. Who cares if you're uneducated?

As long as you're talented at lying.

Who cares if you don't know who she is? You're the Princess of Faking and Lying.

Oh, that was a compliment.

You don't deny that you're a faker and a liar, after all.

That's admirable!

It's time for the guys!

Come on, let's go!

-Let's go. -Come on, move along!

You're so pretty today.

Shin-woo must think so too, I bet.

Mi-nam must be so jealous of you,

she'll want to look pretty to him too.

Mi-nam wants to look pretty to Shin-woo?

Yes.

Mi-nam likes Shin-woo.

Shin-woo? Kang Shin-woo?

Oh, Tae-gyung didn't tell you?

Pretend you don't know, okay?

I have to go!

Hwang Tae-gyung.

You think Ko Mi-nam likes Kang Shin-woo?

You say I'm uneducated but you're just dumb.

Right.

I should set Ko Mi-nam up with Kang Shin-woo.

Hold on! I have something to tell you.

Now. We're opening up the photoshoot like you requested,

so I look forward to great articles about Mi-nam.

Is Shin-woo's girlfriend here as well?

No. Nothing about Shin-woo. Ko Mi-nam!

He's handsome, please focus on Mi-nam instead.

Are Tae-gyung and He-i getting along well?

No Tae-gyung either.

Ko Mi-nam, he's got real potential. Jackpot!

Please tell us more about Shin-woo's girlfriend.

-Just one thing! -Mr. An!

Mr. An, just one word!

-No it's all about Mi-nam today. -Everyone's chasing after idle gossip.

But I have smelled something bigger.

A.N.JELL

is hiding a huge secret.

And at the center of it

is the Mysterious, Secret Woman.

She's near them, I'm certain of it.

I should take a closer look at all the women.

Nice, amazing! Yes!

Great poses, yes. Great!

All right. Another, on three!

Very good, yes!

As another woman, I feel so bad for Mi-nam.

I'm sure she'll want to be pretty in front of the man she loves.

You're too nice. You're nice to a fault.

Can you help Mi-nam out?

I'll lend you all my clothes and makeup.

Let her be a beautiful woman in front of Shin-woo, just once.

Even if she can't confess,

maybe I should help her to look pretty.

This is going to be great!

Yes, great! Nice!

Whoa! It's raining!

Oh no!

What do we do now?

What do we do?

How about a short break, until the rain lets up?

Let's take a break!

Pack it up and bring it in!

-Hello? Weather Service? -It's pouring like mad.

We have to resume shooting soon.

The rain's always the problem. The rain.

Where's Mi-nam?

She got wet so, Miss Wang took her.

This is taking longer than usual.

Makeup for photoshoots usually is heavier.

Keep your eyes closed.

You look great.

Should I put some mascara on too?

We have to do that too?

Photoshoot, remember? It's different makeup.

Look at the end of your nose.

You have to put some on.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, your eyes look even bigger!

Putting makeup on you is really fun, I love it.

All done!

Take a look, Mi-nam.

But Miss Wang,

this is a girl!

It's fine for now.

I wanted to make you pretty, at least just once.

I can't. I can't do this.

It's pouring, no one's around here.

You won't get caught.

Mi-nam, try these on.

It's just until the rain lets up.

You can be a pretty woman

until the rain ends.

Then you can go back to being a man.

This is pretty...

I have never worn clothes like this before.

Look at you, Mi-nam! You're gorgeous.

Look over here, Mi-nam.

Here. You can't stay like this for long,

so take this as a reminder.

Thank you so much...

Stay here.

I'll go keep watch outside.

Is this really me?

Even Tae-gyung won't recognize me like this.

I would be so embarrassed if he saw me like this and recognized me!

Is that you, Miss Wang?

Shin-woo...

Oh. Miss Wang told me to come...

I'm sorry. I just tried it on with her.

I'll change right now.

No.

I think she called me to take a look at you.

If no one saw this, it would have been a pity.

Mi-nam.

You're really pretty.

You're beautiful.

It's like we're filming a romantic movie, strolling in the rain, just the two of us.

Yes, I feel like I'm shooting a movie too.

The Terrifying Fake, Lying Princess.

Hey! I'm getting wet because you're walking too fast!

And when it's raining, you're supposed to tilt it towards the girl.

But I'm getting wet now!

If you don't want to get wet, let's go to that greenhouse.

I want to take a look inside. I think it will be fun.

I should get changed before the rain stops.

It's still pouring. Stay like this, just for a bit longer.

I'm just embarrassed, I've never worn clothes like this before.

I feel like a totally different person.

Yes. You're straight out of a fairy tale.

You turn into a woman when it's raining

and turn back into a guy when the rain ends.

There's a fairy tale like that...

The Frog Prince?

A frog by day, a prince by night.

But you're a princess.

Like The Swan Princess.

A swan by day, a princess by night.

I'm no princess.

If you do that,

you'll mess up your hair.

What are you doing?

Ko Mi-nam, why are you wearing my clothes?

Hwang Tae-gyung, take a look at this.

Tae-gyung.

Ko Mi-nam.

Mi-nam, you look great in my clothes.

And you two look great together too.

Did you grow closer after you revealed that you were a girl?

You're really doing your best to look pretty for Shin-woo.

And you really do!

Doesn't she look great?

No. It's ridiculous.

Take me with you!

I did something...

that doesn't suit me.

This is all so ridiculous.

I told myself to think that it's nothing special.

I told myself everything was and will be all right.

But I guess I'm even more foolish than most fools.

I'm sorry, Shin-woo. You can go ahead without me.

Don't cry.

Don't cry anymore...

for or because of Tae-gyung.

Shin-woo.

You have been crying...

because of Tae-gyung.

I caught you.

You...

like Tae-gyung.

Don't you?

Hey!

Hwang Tae-gyung!

Why did you run off like that?

Get out of my sight.

Hey...

Why's he so angry?

I thought he might laugh at Ko Mi-nam if he saw her like that.

So why is he furious?

I didn't want to butt in...

and make this harder for you.

But...

I can't bear to watch you

cry anymore.

I thought I was hiding it well.

I thought I was holding it in well...

But you figured it out.

Yes, I did.

Because I have been...

watching you this whole time.

So you saw everything...

even my heart.

Tae-gyung can't see it clearly yet.

Do you want to show him?

No.

I don't want to upset him over this absurd thing.

Don't worry about me.

I'll take care of it where no one can see.

I'll go change...

and come back as a man.

I know they came this way.

Shin-woo?

Why's he just out in the rain?

Did something happen over there?

This was so stupid.

Yes. You are stupid.

You shouldn't have come here in the first place.

You should have just stayed at the convent and become a nun, Sister.

Do you even want to go back

to the convent after you finish living as Ko Mi-nam?

In my humble opinion,

you shouldn't give up on your dream.

Why don't you go to Rome to become a nun, like you wanted?

Just go do it again. It's not hard.

Miss Yoo He-i.

I may have given up that path,

but it's not a path you can talk about lightly.

Wow. Look at you, you're so cool.

So go back to that oh-so-awesome path!

Miss He-i!

And stay away from Hwang Tae-gyung!

You want him to look at you? While you're by his side.

You get your hopes up when he's kind to you

and you want him, even though you pretend you don't, right?

Do you want Hwang Tae-gyung

to find out your pitiful heart? Do you?

No, I do not.

And I will not.

Miss Yoo He-i?

Who's that lady with you?

Shin-woo was just here, wasn't he?

If you get caught, we're all done for. Run.

Who could that be?

Who are you?

-Are you all right? -Get out of the way!

-Miss! -You're hurt!

Miss!

-Let go! -Stop moving!

I can't get caught. I have to get far away!

Tae-gyung. Are you okay?

You don't look well.

I'm not sick. I'm angry.

No, you look really sick.

Your face is pale.

Like you got seriously hurt somewhere.

I didn't get hurt.

I'm not sick. I'm just shocked.

I thought you were angry.

I'm angry because I was shocked.

Did you see something you didn't like?

You saw something you didn't like, which shocked you

and made you angry, so now you're sick.

Got it.

That's one complicated way to get sick.

You scared me.

Let's see here...

Fine.

I want to deny it but it's true.

I was shocked when I saw her like that.

I got angry because someone else was next to her.

And because of that,

I'm sick.

And because I'm sick, I have lost.

Let's see here. I need to select the photos to provide for the articles.

Which ones should I choose?

Pictures that have Mi-nam as the center...

She's still doing this?

Is this actually effective?

What the heck are you doing?

What?

That.

Ko Mi-nam does that every single day. What the heck is that?

Oh. You saw?

It's an acupuncture point, you see.

I taught her.

So when your heart explodes in front of the person you like and you can't

control it, you press it. I taught her to do it.

What?

Just look at her.

She actually believed me and is still doing it.

I guess Shin-woo was in front of her.

That's what this meant?

She's looking at me.

See! How much did you berate her

that she would make a pig nose at you?

Be nicer to Mi-nam, yes?

Don't you know how much she adores her hairpin because you bought it for her?

-What? -And you, you're well-off,

you couldn't even get her a decent hairpin?

That cheap thing, it was in pieces. In pieces, already!

This is Ko Mi-nam's bag, right?

Yes.

You really went to look for this?

Gemma.

It must be quite a struggle for you.

That person...

He's like a bright star.

And by his light,

I brighten up

or I become dark.

When it brightens, my hopes soar.

When it darkens, I'm crestfallen.

I hate myself for being like this.

I'm so ashamed.

I am...

so proud of you, Gemma,

for discovering such a love. You are so beautiful with it.

It's hot!

No offense...

but who are you exactly

to look for the twins, Miss Mo?

I have a big debt that I owe to them.

You know,

I saw you last time.

I saw everything.

Like your surgery scar on your stomach.

You gave birth, didn't you?

What was your relationship with my brother?

By any chance, are you the real mother

of the twins?

It's just that, when you were super popular,

you went on a break for years. You gave birth then, right?

I did take a long break, yes.

Is that why you're looking everywhere for the twins?

Because you're their mother?

I...

I did not give birth to them.

What?

Then what kind

of debt do you have that makes you so desperate to find those kids?

It's because of me...

that they no longer have their mother.

Their mom...

She died because of me.

Oh, my goodness...

I can't stop crying.

I can't see the stars through my tears.

If I can't see them like this,

I wouldn't hope...

or be disappointed.

I wish I wasn't able to see them.

Tae-gyung.

Ko Mi-nam.

I can see you clearly right now.

You can't see anything over here because it's so bright, right?

You.

Were you crying like that every time I couldn't see you?

I'm not going to cry anymore. Just pretend you didn't see me.

How can I when I can see you so clearly?

Ko Mi-nam.

You were looking at me like that this whole time, right?

I didn't know because I couldn't see you.

Then keep on pretending that you can't.

I'm not going to look at you anymore.

No, you can't!

You can't stop now. You're not allowed to.

Keep looking at me!

As you have always done.

Just look at me, and only me, like you always have!

Tae-gyung.

Ko Mi-nam.

From now on, you have my permission

to love me.
