Tae-gyung.

Ko Mi-nam.

From now on, you have my permission

to love me.

Really?

Can I really like you?

Won't you feel upset? Wouldn't it be ridiculous?

I mean,

it's a bit surprising and I feel rather strange,

but it's not bad.

Will it really not be...

troublesome to you?

Ko Mi-nam.

I receive love from millions of people.

That's my job.

One more person joining those millions

isn't going to trouble me at all.

It's just who I am.

So you can like me.

I'll allow it. It's fine.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting me like you,

even just as your fan.

Thank you so much.

Fan?

I mean... Sure, fan.

Ko Mi-nam.

Come here.

Welcome to my fan club.

You're a special fan.

Consider it an honor.

That woman who ran away,

she met with Kang Shin-woo here for sure.

It must be the same one he said

was his girlfriend last time.

Why was she here?

What was she doing?

Did she sit here?

Oh, it's a picture.

A picture...

Wait, she's dressed like that woman!

This has to be her!

Her face looks familiar...

Ko Mi-nam?

It was Ko Mi-nam?

Reverend Mother.

Thank you for comforting me.

I have to go now.

Is he your star, Gemma?

Yes.

A star, far, far away from me.

Reverend Mother.

Stay healthy. Be well.

Goodbye.

And that star came all that way to find you, Gemma.

You two twinkle so brightly, it's beautiful.

As stars that shine brightest in darkness,

I pray that they will not lose their light

even when darkness overcomes them.

They're all the same person, right?

Who is she?

Please explain.

What is that?

They're from Reverend Mother.

Oh, it's sour.

It's too sour, don't eat it, Tae-gyung.

I like sour things.

You know I like lime, right?

Give me one.

Ko Mi-nam. I'm driving right now.

Do you know how much concentration is required for me when I drive at night?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I can't take my hands off the wheel for a second.

You really do like sour foods.

I'll find you the most sour-looking one.

Ko Mi-nam!

Don't be near Shin-woo

dressed like that from now on.

Oh, right. You said it didn't suit me and that it was ridiculous.

I should get changed into guy clothes quickly.

It's fine when you're with me.

But not Shin-woo.

This is why Hoon-i, Miss Wang,

and even I thought you liked Shin-woo.

Did they really?

I made things difficult for Shin-woo again,

when he was nothing but kind to me.

I should be better to him from now on.

Be better to Shin-woo?

What kind of a conclusion is that?

Shin-woo?

Shin-woo.

Is it true? The reporter found my picture?

Yes.

The girl part of you was found out.

Oh, so this lady

is Mi-nam's twin sister.

Here, take a look.

Twins, born on the same day! Does that answer your question?

KO MI-NAM, KO MI-NYEO

They are twins indeed.

That must be why

she was at his concert,

solo album premiere, and his photo shoot.

So you're saying Mi-nam's sister

is dating Shin-woo?

Exactly.

Shin-woo said he'll bring his girlfriend over,

so you can see for yourself.

We don't have time. We have to go now.

I'm really scared.

Do you think he really won't notice?

Just stay calm.

Shin-woo, fend off all the questions.

You only answer in yes or no's when you absolutely have to.

You'll do great. I know you will.

Can I pass as a woman, instead of Ko Mi-nam?

You're definitely a woman in my eyes.

She's my woman now.

I'll take her now.

I know it has to be done,

but that's the second time I had to hear that.

"My woman"?

They're here.

Oh, my goodness!

Wow! This is insane!

This is seriously an exclusive!

I can't believe this! What luck! Wow!

This is so amazing!

She's just a normal person, so she's very nervous right now.

I ask that you don't reveal too much about her.

Oh, sure. I'll make sure of that.

You promised, an exclusive special interview with just me.

This is going to be

the cover story for our weekly magazine this weekend!

If this story is released somewhere else,

I can't make good on the promise to protect her.

I trust you so trust me!

I'll look forward to a great article.

Exclusive! Special!

See him off, will you?

Tae-gyung.

You knew everything already, didn't you?

Shin-woo seems to really like Mi-nam's sister.

Yes?

He gave her high heels when he confessed.

I think he wanted to make her into Cinderella.

You're only Cinderella if the shoe fits.

Don't just focus on your loves. Remember to take care of your fans too,

They fawn over you now,

but they can just as easily find someone and get married.

You know well...

that the love you receive as a star has its limits.

Yes.

Fans can easily change their hearts.

They can choose another man over us at any time.

But you can't go and argue with them.

What do I do?

I wanted more time with my girlfriend,

but my brother-in-law appeared too early.

Shin-woo. I'm so sorry.

Still, you did well during the interview.

That was all you, honestly.

I was so nervous, I could barely speak.

That's true.

You were pretty awkward.

We should prepare, just in case something like this happens again.

I'll do anything necessary as best as I can.

Then let's first make up Kang Shin-woo and Ko Mi-nyeo's clumsy love story.

Love story?

Should we start from our first encounter?

You and I first met

on the roof of the club.

That day,

Ko Mi-nam was first introduced as the new member of A.N.JELL.

Oh, I remember that day.

Even though you were a lightweight, you had some champagne.

You were so drunk, you could barely stand up straight.

I was actually drunk that night and ended up blacking out.

This dizziness kind of feels like I'm drunk again.

And as you fell, all tipsy, you fell into my arms.

Tae-gyung, you all right? Let's go!

He's completely out of it.

Hey. Ko Mi-nam!

That's the first time I met you.

"Hello, Miss Ko Mi-nyeo!"

I acted all familiar with you the moment I met you

and we were able to start off as a man and a woman.

Hand.

If you called me Miss Ko Mi-nyeo,

how did I call you?

Shall I treat you like a little brother?

-What? -I'll treat you like a little brother

like Jermy.

Right.

Thanks, Shin-woo.

I said you didn't have to be formal, and to just call me Shin-woo.

So you agreed and called me Shin-woo immediately.

And that's how we became close.

Go on.

Shin-woo.

Trying to call you in a girly way feels awkward.

We moved along pretty quickly in our relationship.

I asked you out on a date, to the amusement park.

Oh, I remember that too.

You said you liked amusement parks, right?

You liked them too.

So our first date was at an amusement park.

Shin-woo! Then should we go to the amusement park now?

I'm exhausted right now.

Maybe later.

This is so fun!

We went on the Viking ride, the merry-go-round,

and had a fun time.

Our date was at an amusement park.

And after that, we went to Myeongdong

and had noodles, ice cream,

and we went shopping too.

Wherever I said I wanted to go to,

you always came running to join me.

Are you here to pick me up?

I'll be right there!

Whenever you called me,

I always came running to wherever you were.

I will memorize that.

We're moving along speedily.

But of all the questions reporters ask, there's always this classic one.

And I don't know whether I should make up the answer or not.

What is it?

"When was your first kiss?"

Can't we just say we haven't done it yet?

They'll just say we're lying.

Let's just say it was today.

I fell so deeply in love with you

that I decided to finally confess how I feel about you.

I rented out a whole restaurant

and waited for you to come.

I wanted to put you in front of a mirror...

and show you

that the person I like...

was this person.

When you stand here today,

you'll get to see the woman I love.

Then you saw yourself in the mirror

and got very surprised.

I really do see myself!

Yes. It's you.

And I said this to you.

I knew you were the one from the beginning.

My eyes were set on you from then on.

I really, really like you.

Then I must have replied like this.

I like you too, Shin-woo.

Yes.

That's what you said to me with a smile.

But right now, it's just a shadow,

so I can't tell what our expressions are like.

Your shadow looks excited.

Are you feeling better about the whole Tae-gyung situation?

To be honest,

Tae-gyung found out how I feel about him.

But he didn't get mad or upset.

And for that, I'm thankful.

I see.

I thought as much.

At least now, I won't see you cry.

But you can tell all that just from my shadow?

I can't tell what face you're making just by this, though.

That shadow is just hiding it.

But it may be a sad face.

Shin-woo.

The clumsy love story ends with a happy ending.

Let's go home.

Shin-woo didn't look very happy just now.

I was too distracted by the shadows to see closely.

Mo Hwa-ran, this witch.

She drove Mi-nam and Mi-nyeo's mom to her death!

What garbage did she spew about love or whatever again?

Jae-hyeon and I were in love.

We broke up because of a mistake I made

but our love never faded away.

What are you saying?

That my little brother

abandoned the woman who was pregnant with their twins

and was having an affair with you?

He wasn't married to her, so you can't call it an affair.

They dated briefly after we had broken up.

She got pregnant by mistake.

My brother!

My brother would never do such a thing!

Anyway.

She was left alone and died while giving birth.

So I'm partly responsible for her death as well.

What kind of a woman would be fine

seeing her man singing about love with some other bitch

right in front of her?

You're right, she did die because of you!

That's why I told you I'll pay off my debt to the kids!

You want to pay off your debt?

And this is the song you want to remake?

Yes, I can imagine how grateful the kids will be when they hear it!

I can see it now, them dancing at the song their father made,

begging his lover to come back after ditching their mom!

I'm done here. I've heard more than enough.

Freaking...

I'm going to give them half of everything I own!

What?

If Jae-hyeon didn't die...

I would have been their mom.

Bring the kids to me.

Please help me pay off my debt to them.

Half of Mo Hwa-ran's wealth?

I bet it would be a crazy amount of money.

No...

Even if it is,

would they be grateful for the money from the woman who took their mom's place?

Wait a second.

The money, yes. I would be thankful for that.

If I don't say a thing, Mi-nam would never find out.

Oh, my goodness gracious!

I don't know what the right course of action is for this!

THIS IS A.N.JELL'S OFFICIAL FAN CAFE

NUMBER OF MEMBERS, 90,000

We have lost a significant amount of fans.

Pig Rabbit.

Don't you dare fall out like this, without an ounce of loyalty!

You fell off that time...

Damn. Why did she even bring up the word fan and make things complicated?

Whatever. Forget it.

She should be grateful to be my fan.

She can just be a fan and stay one.

No, let's be calm about this. Think clearly.

What can I do to instill some sense of a loyal fan

to this disloyal Pig Rabbit?

What is this?

By Pig Rabbit?

I joined the fan club today. I'll do my best!

Did she just really just join the fan club?

Just about anyone could join the fan club. I didn't know.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LEFT THE CAFE TODAY 345

And you can leave any time you want too.

NEW MEMBERS MUST PAST THE TEST -ADMIN

What's this?

A test?

I didn't know you had to take a test.

Are you only allowed to join if you've passed?

I got you, Pig Rabbit.

Let's see how much you know about me.

"How well do you know Hwang Tae-gyung?"

Out of ten, like...

Six? Seven?

"Seven"?

Just seven?

She's not that interested in me, clearly.

It's barely safe ground with a nine!

Next, how much you like me.

She always says I'm cool, so this should be high.

"On a scale of one to ten, rate how cool Hwang Tae-gyung is."

How cool should I say he is?

Five. "Five"?

That's just average!

Pig Rabbit, you little!

No, you can't argue with a fan. You can't.

Let me check everything else then.

Oh, this one isn't great.

What? Four?

This one...

Maybe seven?

Seven again?

Now seven seems like a high number...

Oh, this one's seriously a bit...

Two. She chose two...

If my eyes aren't deceiving me, this is a two.

Maybe I should have said three?

No! I have to be honest.

He's a two in this.

My average is five.

Exactly in the middle.

One firm shake and she'll fall off immediately.

Maybe I shouldn't ask the last question.

What if my average drops?

This is more nerve-wracking than my first piano contest.

"On a scale of one to ten, rate how much you like Hwang Tae-gyung."

This one's...

Pig Rabbit,

I revoke my comments about you being ungrateful.

I'm so proud. One hundred points!

Did I pass the test?

Why are there no more replies?

Ko Mi-nam. Time for a fan meeting.

Fan meeting?

I thought you didn't like rabbit songs.

Quite the opposite.

I overcame my rabbit trauma.

Take a seat.

What is a fan meeting, exactly?

When I invite the special people who like me and have a fun time

together and make them happy.

Then you've invited me?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for coming.

Today's fan meeting will have a special twist.

I'll receive song requests from the fans!

Any song you want me to sing, please tell me.

Me?

Then you'll sing me a song I like?

Yes. Choose one, quick.

I need to choose one quick before he changes his mind.

What would be a good one?

I'm going to pay off my debt to your kids.

Then this song...

will truly be mine.

A song you made for me...

and not that woman.

My song.

You only loved me.

You only loved me.

You only loved me.

You only loved me.

Welcome.

Hello.

The Nyx Hotel, please.

The Nyx Hotel.

The Nyx Hotel.

If the person we're going to see is a friend of Father's,

they must know my mom well too.

Yes.

Well, she was just a friend of your father's.

She probably doesn't know your mom.

Don't ask her.

Anyway...

she's a very close friend of your father's.

Friend.

A singer friend.

Is she famous?

You'll see when you get there.

You know,

I thought about this a lot...

but I think it's best that you go.

Mi-nam.

Let's just think positively, okay? Okay?

She brought the boy?

Didn't you say the boy was abroad and his sister was in Korea?

Why did it change?

I am not sure why myself.

I guess I have to see them and find out.

Send them in.

Miss Mo?

You're...

You were that Ko Mi-nam?

You're my father's friend?

KOREA COMPOSERS ASSOCIATION REGISTRY

KO JAE-HYEON

Is it this person?

Ko Jae-hyeon?

He looks average. Normal.

Hey, can you tell me the singers who sang the songs he wrote?

"Moon's Smile"?

That's Kim Jun's song.

Would he know anything about Ko Jae-hyeon?

Knowing Kim Jun, he would have been close with his composers.

Want me to give you his phone number?

Ko Jae-hyeon...

You abandoned me for someone like him?

You must have found those oh-so-precious kids already.

You look so much like Jae-hyeon.

I never would have thought that you were my father's friend.

Since you're on the same team,

I take it you know that Tae-gyung's doing a remake of my song.

That song

was composed by your father.

Because of you,

because I had you,

I lost that precious thing.

I lost him because of you.

Let me at least remember him.

Help me.

You said you were a friend of my father's.

That's all you were, right?

A friend?

Didn't your aunt tell you?

She said you were friends.

Yes.

We were friends.

He was so talented,

it made me sad that he didn't get the accolade he deserved.

That's why I'm doing this remake.

It's also the song I love the most.

You're...

You're okay with it too.

Right?

You're a wonderful friend.

Thank you.

Could you keep it a secret

until the song's finished?

That it's your father's song.

Sure.

By any chance...

do you know anything about my mom?

I have...

nothing to say concerning your mom.

I see. You don't know...

Where's your sister?

I thought you were in the States

and your sister in Korea, so I was looking for her.

Could I meet her as well?

Not in the near future, I'm afraid.

Do you two...

still look alike?

It was so hard to tell you apart.

Yes, we do still look quite alike.

I had a hard time

telling you apart when you were young.

I tried to come up with my own method and everything.

I don't remember meeting you when I was young.

You were too young, probably.

I'm sorry, I don't remember.

May I use your bathroom?

That's strange.

The boy used to hate it when I touched his ear and ran away.

That's how I told them apart...

Mi-nam.

Could you zip this up for me?

Sure.

Thank you.

It's not the boy.

Even if I may be much older, there's no way he could be that calm.

Which means...

it has to be the girl.

I only talk about him on all the talk shows,

but we have never even had a proper meal together!

We can. We will.

Why not?

I came to make you lunch.

Oh, Ko Mi-nam's not here? Even better.

We're eating out.

Fake Fairy, I told you not to come here.

People think we're all so close, you see.

So I came to take some pictures to upload on my social media.

Just photoshop it.

Then maybe I should write about Ko Mi-nam on it?

My social media will become so viral.

Now, today's dish is pasta.

Jermy, you prepare the ingredients.

Kang Shin-woo, make the sauce.

Hwang Tae-gyung, you slice this.

I'm the head chef and the food taster.

My eyes are watering.

Hey! Don't make a mess.

I just can't even...

This tastes weird.

You're weird.

Want some help?

I have a knife in my hand. Don't test me.

Pasta, just for me!

Jermy, take a picture of me eating it.

Yes, Your Highness.

It's going to be pretty salty. I dumped salt in that.

You too? I threw in sugar.

I put something in too.

I'm home!

Oh, He-i. You're here.

Ko Mi-nam, just on time!

Come here and try this.

They put in a lot of effort to make this for me,

but I suddenly don't feel well.

But we can't throw it away, so why don't you eat it?

Is that right?

Then I'll gladly eat it.

Bon appétit!

Wait, hold on!

This, I'll eat it.

I love this pasta.

I'll eat it, thanks.

Tae-gyung.

Did you put in vinegar?

Jermy. Does it not taste good?

I'll eat it with you, I'll be all right.

It's fine, Ko Mi-nam.

We can't let Jermy's sacrifice be for nothing.

Back to square one. This time, fried rice.

Tae-gyung, I looked up night blindness

and they said spinach, carrots, and liver

among other things are really good for your eyes.

And I don't like any of them.

But you have to eat them.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Oh, I bought some excellent tea recently.

Let's have some now, let me bring it over.

Shin-woo.

I heard you did an interview with the female Ko Mi-nam yesterday.

Is it fun playing pretend lovers?

Was it for you?

I mean, it was all right.

What's that? Is that from a fan?

Don't touch.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Shin-woo.

You said you won't be angry if you can understand Ko Mi-nam's actions, right?

Then do you know this?

Ko Mi-nam likes Hwang Tae-gyung.

Does that make you angry?

Just talking to you about this makes me angry.

If you do that, you'll mess up your hair.

What are you doing?

I thought something smelled fishy.

Is it because he likes her that he can understand everything she does?

I know I saw flowers and a present in here.

Are those Ko Mi-nam's too, then?

Ko Mi-nam. Try this.

My mom sent this kimchi and pickled radish all the way from England.

Do you want to try some?

Next time, cook the yolk fully too. No soft-boiled.

What is it?

Want to try these on?

These heels? Why?

Just try them on.

If they fit, I'll assume they were meant for you and give them to you.

Put them on. Now.

They fit perfectly.

They really were yours?

Why are these mine?

Here. These are yours too.

Now let's go confirm it.

To who?

Let's go and see.

I should take the heels off before--

You need to show them off. They're new anyway, it's fine.

Shin-woo.

You had these shoved in the back of the trunk,

so I was curious if they were meant for someone.

And it fits Ko Mi-nam perfectly.

He gave her high heels when he confessed.

It looked like you bought these a while ago,

why haven't you given them to her?

Ko Mi-nam. Go on, show him properly.

Oh, these aren't mine. They're meant for someone else.

I'm sorry, Shin-woo.

Shin-woo. Say something.

Who are these for?

I am so sorry, Shin-woo.

Shin-woo.

Are you okay?

I should have just...

thrown them away.

Mi-nam.

Can you throw them away for me?

Why are you butting in?

I was just trying to help Kang Shin-woo!

You.

Don't ever appear in front of me again.

This ends here.

You...

Aren't you afraid of what I'll do if you end it like this?

What will you do?

I'll spill everything about Ko Mi-nam and A.N.JELL!

Yes?

If you do,

how will you get out of it, Korea's Fairy, Yoo He-i?

I...

I'll pretend I don't know.

But I will. I'll come after you.

Aren't you afraid of what I'll do?

Hwang Tae-gyung.

This time, I really just meant to help.

We don't need it. Go.

Shin-woo.

You always comforted me greatly when I went through hard times.

So I want to comfort you somehow

but I don't know how.

Can you just...

come sit by me?

Thanks.

Do you feel better now?

Those heels...

All my heart went into that present.

But seeing them like that...

made me a bit upset.

It was so stupid of me to agree to her.

Don't throw them away, Shin-woo.

They're beautiful.

I shined them so please, give them to her.

I didn't get to confess once

but it feels like I got dumped 100 times.

Now, if I do actually get rejected, I don't think I'll even be embarrassed.

Shin-woo. Don't forget there are people like me too.

I'm a troublesome nuisance who got berated all the time

and was barely permitted to like him.

So don't be embarrassed, Shin-woo,

when there are fools like me.

We're just a bunch of idiots.

We'll just be cool idiots who love with all their hearts.

What if she never looks at me?

Can I still be cool to the end?

You will be, but that would also be sad.

But you can't make them like you.

If it can't be done, it just cannot be done.

For people like us, throwing tantrums doesn't really work.

I just end up comforting you again, it seems.

No! I'm going to comfort you.

Then let's see you do it properly.

Shall I sing you a song, like you did?

Or a cup of tea, maybe?

Is he better now?

If those heels were really Ko Mi-nam's,

what is Ko Mi-nam to Kang Shin-woo?

Let's think more on it.

Is Shin-woo better now?

And yes, he is. Good.

Shin-woo!

Shin-woo! Are you feeling better now?

Shin-woo...

I wanted to check on the song's progress and hear how it changed.

Tae-gyung's in the studio, you can go see him.

Mr. An.

There's a kid named Ko Mi-nam here, right?

What's he like?

Mi-nam?

I have the most hope in him.

His single album's coming out soon. Oh, Tae-gyung wrote that too!

Is that right?

They're really close, so you should go talk to him.

They're really close?

Tae-gyung is a bit snappy, for sure, but he takes care of Mi-nam really well.

The song you're working on right now,

it's Miss Mo Hwa-ran's song, right?

Yes.

This is a very unpleasant project.

Ko Mi-nam.

Stay right by my side, as my fan.

But I have to go to Busan, though.

What? Busan?

Yes.

Shin-woo said he's going down to go explain to his parents

before the article releases, so I'm going with him to help explain.

And while we're going, Mr. Ma, Miss Wang, and Jermy are all

coming along for a little trip.

You should come too.

I have a lot of work piled up. I can't.

It's a day trip, then?

No. We're coming back tomorrow.

Shin-woo said he'll give us a Busan tour and buy us delicious eel.

Ko Mi-nam!

There's eel in Seoul too.

If you come back early today,

I'll take you to the best eel place in Seoul.

They said that Busan eel was the best!

Like you have ever had eel in Seoul.

Have you ever been to Busan, then?

Of course.

There's almost nowhere in the world that I haven't gone to.

Really?

Then have you gone to Uganda?

Uganda?

-Not yet. -He's so comfortable with her.

He wouldn't even look at her when he finds out she's Jae-hyeon's child.

I should turn a blind eye until the song's done and released.

Wait.

Is he acting like that to her knowing she's a girl?

I'm afraid I have to join up with Jermy on his schedule.

I knew the producer since my rookie days, so I couldn't refuse. Sorry, Mi-nam.

I see.

It would have been nice if we all went.

You two go, have fun.

Here you go.

Shin-woo.

Take good care of Mi-nam, will you?

This is how I repay favors, yes indeed.

Tae-gyung!

What? Why are the three of you here?

A schedule came up for me.

What about Busan?

We couldn't make it.

Shin-woo and Ko Mi-nam went by themselves.

Just Shin-woo and Ko Mi-nam went?

We have to go in separately for the security checkpoint.

Yes, I know. I'll manage, don't worry.

You go in first. I'll change into girl clothes and follow after you.

Mi-nam.

When we get to Busan, should we say we're really dating?

What?

You're actually a girl.

If we actually date

then when the article is released, it will actually be real too.

Shin-woo.

But we both have people who we like.

Why don't you and I

just let go of the people who won't look at us

and start over?

You and me.

Start over?

Will you like me?

I'll like you in return.

Ko Mi-nam gave me 100 points.

But why am I worried?

Because I'm afraid she won't continue to give me 100 points.

Then in order to keep getting 100 points,

what do I do?

Then I have to tell her.

That I want to be 100 points, that I don't want to lose a single point.

I'm not asking you to give me your heart all at once.

If you're willing to give me your heart, even just a little bit,

that's our beginning.

And I have...

already begun.

I'll head in first.

If you're willing to start as well, come to me.

I'll be waiting.

What if when she returns, I'm not 100 anymore?

What happens if I lose point by point while she's in Busan?

I can't say what I didn't say at 100 at some other lower percentage!

Okay.

If I start driving now, I'll arrive in five hours.

If I take the Gyeongbu Expressway...

Ko Mi-nam.

You didn't go?

Tae-gyung?

Why are you here?

Ko Mi-nam.

I give you the same score as you did me.
