Original subtitles

If you change your mind like this,

we have no other way.

We'll go under.

Please think it over.

Well...

I'm very sorry.

But I received a better investment offer.

You know...

people like us don't know anything...

other than making money.

Even if you invest in my company,

you won't lose money.

I looked into it a little bit.

You have nobody in your agency.

- Pardon? - You only have Helter-Skelter...

a trot group that usually does gigs.

Well...

I'm putting another team together.

You know I'm old-fashioned.

I always look carefully before I leap.

But your company...

there's nothing really to look at.

I'm sorry.

I do like triangular gimbap,

but I didn't think I'd have it here.

It's all because of you.

How is it because of me?

It's because of that drill.

So why did you...

My goodness.

Do something about that drill.

Just looking at it makes me upset.

Is something badmouthing me?

Gosh, it itches. Who is it?

Is there anything you want to ask me?

I'm sorry...

I couldn't tell you the truth.

But...

I couldn't say it.

I didn't know if people would believe me.

People were living so differently from what I imagined.

I wonder if it's my fault.

So when did you come here?

In 1993.

1993. Then you and my mom...

I only knew her name.

I found out...

that she was Gwang Jae's friend from his hometown.

We hung out a few times.

Then you wouldn't know about anything yet.

I always wondered.

I wanted to know why he abandoned us.

Why couldn't he tell us where he was going?

Why couldn't he tell us...

where he was when he got there?

Does he know me?

Does he know that...

I'm living a great life?

I'm sorry.

It feels like I'm condemning you for the life you didn't live yet.

I know it's not fair to blame you.

But whenever I see you,

I didn't go through it, but that's still me.

I've always been self-centered.

I always thought I was great.

When I was a kid, I never had a family,

and when I grew up, I was what people call a celebrity.

That's why I never got to live a normal life like everyone else.

I had no idea what a normal life was.

After I came here...

and lived with you guys, it was the first time...

I didn't feel lonely.

I'm not sure what you guys would think,

but you were all like a family.

I always thought I did everything by myself.

I thought everyone was staying with me to use me.

If you think about it, this is really odd.

This time I spend with you.

You're right.

You know what?

I'm sorry...

I couldn't be there with you.

I'm sorry...

for making you feel lonely.

I'm sorry...

for the things I did to say sorry.

I thought I finally got you to smile again.

Part-timer, where are you?

You must be home.

(Part-timer, where are you? You must be home.)

I'm studying.

Then I mustn't bother you.

Don't live too diligently and don't live only for the future.

And don't just look at what's above you.

Everything that's fun in life is already around you.

Don't be an idiot like me, who doesn't know anything.

I won't bother you anymore.

(Don't live too diligently, and don't live only for the future.)

Didn't you go out yet? I put the camping equipment in the storage.

What? Okay.

Why do you look so serious?

Did your business fail?

Yes, it's about to fail even before I get started.

What? I thought you had investors.

It looks like someone intercepted.

And their offer seems to be much better than ours.

- Who did that? - I'm searching.

But that's not what's important.

It looks like we have to put a halt to everything we've been doing.

Are you saying all of your investors are gone?

Yes. I'll have to try some other place.

Right, did you have a chat with Ji Hoon?

What? Yes.

- How did it go? - You know him. He's a good kid.

Ji Hoon is a good kid.

I'm busy. Let's talk later.

Oh, okay.

Hello?

Master, it's me, MJ. Where are you?

How is this?

Good. Master, you're amazing.

You don't seem as bad as I thought.

You have good ears and the eyes to see someone who's superb.

How did you get involved with Young Jae?

I was foolish.

So you do know.

I thought debuting was the most important thing.

But I kept on wanting more. However, as I got what I wanted,

I wasn't as happy as I thought.

Because everything was a lie.

Of course.

I thought it wasn't that big of a deal.

But things got out of hand.

As you know, I am too great.

You remind me of myself.

- What? - You're not so good.

Anyway, when does your contract end?

- Why? - There's this guy, Gwang Jae.

He's Young Jae's enemy. Are you interested in meeting him?

Young Jae, Gwang Jae.

Two Jae? That was tacky.

You should listen to what an adult says.

- Double Jae? - Double Jae?

Master.

(World Entertainment)

I'm almost done cleaning out this place.

You really do feel the emptiness once someone's gone.

Do I have anything I can take from here?

What is this?

What? That's a coda mark.

"To coda" means...

coda was moved.

(Segi Bank)

(Segi Bank)

It's what our customers used for their safe in our bank in the past.

Then this key is...

You used the private safe of our bank since 1994.

You paid the fee all at once.

We confirmed the key,

and now, you only need to press your pass code here.

- My pass code? - You set it up before.

My pass code.

If I were the Yoo Hyun Jae in 1994,

what would my pass code be?

The most important thing...

for the past Yoo Hyun Jae.

22198, I want to be with you alone.

It was more like a code for me.

- A code? - 22198 was a code...

which he and I used when we wanted to meet up.

Please wait a second.

It's correct.

Please follow me with the key.

Take your time.

Thanks.

(2 million dollars)

(2 million dollars)

I changed them into a check.

I'm such a genius!

I think I tore this from my notebook.

Did I write this in 1994?

Was it all because of this?

What's so important about this?

The terms for this contract look good.

I've read it through,

and I think it'd be good to make it a little more favorable for MJ.

What are you talking about?

He contributed a lot in this company.

Even though he's not busy as he's taking a break now,

as you know,

he barely has time to sleep once his album is released.

Nowadays, companies tend to share more benefits with their artists.

Don't say it like you know nothing.

Thanks to whom is he so successful now?

You're right about that, but...

How will you run your business in the future...

that you're so soft-hearted like this?

You may go now.

Be careful in treating MJ.

Even sending him a text should be done carefully.

I understand, sir.

What's up?

- I have great news. - Great news?

You wanted to find our settlement money, right?

What? When did I?

That's why you wanted to buy that building so badly.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Get out if you're going to talk nonsense.

This.

(2 million dollars)

You found it.

Where did you...

Was it in the loft?

Did you know from the start...

and go to live there on purpose?

You meticulous punk.

Don't mind the details.

I'll give you this and you'll have to do me something in return.

You'll...

give this to me?

Instead, cancel the contract with MJ...

that's a month left.

- What? - You can't control him anyway.

What business do you have with MJ?

- What about renewing the contract? - I don't know.

Dump him or convince him over.

(2 million dollars)

Okay.

(Contracts)

(Star Punch Exclusive Contract)

Here.

MJ's contract with Star Punch is no longer valid, right?

Right.

Then we don't have to care for MJ from now on, right?

You might have to be prepared for criticizing articles about him.

We've prevented quite a lot of them from being posted.

That's up to you.

Are you crazy?

Are you saying...

you gave that amount of money to Young Jae?

You lunatic. You can't do that.

Calm down and listen to me.

Calm down, my foot!

How could you...

always cause trouble from the start to even now?

Hold on.

I should go see him right now.

Why don't you...

meet with Chairwoman Oh instead?

I said she decided not to invest on us.

And she's not the type to change her mind.

She said it'd be too risky to invest on your small company.

What if you have a great and famous artist...

in World Entertainment?

She'll change her mind then.

You're talking about something...

that doesn't make sense at all.

He's such a trendy artist,

so he will never sign his contract with us.

And we only have debt...

to give him as a down payment.

There you go with being negative again.

Prepare a contract.

What are you talking about?

I just told you I can't afford to give him a down payment.

You won't need to pay him a down payment for the time being.

(2 million dollars)

Two million dollars...

It's two million dollars.

(Juhan Bank)

Wait.

Juhan Bank?

It's the bank that went bankrupt during the IMF incident.

Come in for a second.

Yes, sir.

Can you change this Juhan Bank's check into cash?

Juhan Bank?

It went bankrupt.

So?

Can you change it into cash or not?

I don't think you can.

It went bankrupt a long time ago.

- Go check it already. - Okay.

Hyun Jae, that rat...

(Juhan Bank)

I'm sorry for making you wait.

I have a meeting to attend,

so I have to head out soon.

Let's talk later if it's not urgent.

You said last time that my company...

is too small for you to invest in, right?

If you put it that way,

you're right.

We've signed a contract with a new artist recently.

Really?

Who is it?

He's on his way to here.

Hi, ma'am.

Did you sign a contract with MJ?

It's too small, isn't it?

I'll change it into a bigger one,

so endure a little more.

All right.

You're hurting my feelings.

You used to give me a hard time before.

You don't remember I carried you on my back so many times, do you?

Keep your promise.

What promise?

That you'll teach me how to write songs.

How can I teach something like that?

You have to be born with it.

What?

Did you lie to me?

It seems like your song became successful because of me,

but it was you who pulled it off.

Try writing it yourself.

If you can't do it, there's no way.

If you can do it, you just need to keep it on.

The way I see it, you don't seem like you can't do it.

Don't you worry.

I'll choke him if I must to get a few songs from him.

Master.

Good, MJ.

Big Master.

Hey, Part-timer.

You can't slack off just because you're a part-timer.

- Make sure you organize this today. - Yes, sir.

Woo Seung, I think we need to fix our printer.

The toner isn't working. Please make a call to the service center.

Yes, sir.

(Mr. Thumbs Up)

(Mr. Thumbs Up, Underdog)

Hey.

Yoo Hyun Jae.

Sir.

- Do you recognize me? - Sure, I do.

I wouldn't forget you just because we haven't met for some time.

What?

Did you think you'd freely continue your career...

once you ran away with the settlement money?

I'll take whatever is necessary...

to ban you from appearing on major broadcasting stations.

Contract, my foot.

Since when did we sign contracts in doing business?

Sir,

I'm sorry.

What's with you all of a sudden?

I was too late to realize that I shouldn't have done that.

J2 wasn't just about me like you said.

Are you taking some kind of pills?

It's nice that I'm able to apologize to you in person like this.

Don't hate me too much.

I didn't know it was wrong then.

Did you really realize what you did is wrong?

Yes.

Then make the second album of J2 with us.

Then it's all going to be fine.

Oh, right. About the letter you sent me last time.

What's that about?

I became upset and put it somewhere.

Is it important?

- A letter? - Yes, the letter!

Gosh, hey.

Why am I getting a headache all of a sudden?

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

Where is...

It's the office.

Right, we're in the office.

Hey, this is all...

because you look so similar to Hyun Jae.

That's why I'm having nightmares like this one.

How can he look exactly like him?

Goodness. Gosh, my head.

Why does it hurt so much?

Hello?

Hyun Jae.

This is a fraud.

I didn't mention a bank name. I just said I found the settlement money.

- I won't leave you be. - Do whatever you'd like to.

Just think of it as you paid back what you owed me.

You must think I'm the old Park Young Jae who were in your shadow.

You're wrong.

This punk irritates me until the end.

What is it?

Well... I think you should listen to this.

- What? - I think he knew it already.

What are you talking about?

Listen to this.

Be a nice person.

Young Jae, come to your senses.

Be a nice person.

Don't covet what belongs to others.

Be a nice person.

Gosh, this punk.

We were in the same team before after all. Was I too harsh on him?

No, he deserved it.

Welcome.

Are you looking for something?

I'm looking for a nice watch.

Something that's trendy to kids nowadays.

Kids nowadays?

It's going to be a gift for my friend.

All right.

It's popular these days.

It's called Smart Watch.

- Do you want to try wearing it? - No.

Its buckle and strap are replaceable,

so it's highly popular to young people.

Please take a look.

(World Entertainment)

- Excuse me. - Sorry, we have to close the store.

I think I left my wallet here yesterday.

Can I check the CCTV footage?

CCTV footage? Sure.

- Yesterday? - Yes.

- Was it during nighttime? - Yes.

Here, it's you.

I'll put it on slow mode.

Here, you have it in your hand.

I think you lost it somewhere else.

Where did I put it?

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

What?

It's Gwang Jae.

What is he doing?

Da Bong, thank you.

I'll close the store, so you can go in now.

Excuse me, but I think you need to see this.

What? See what?

Aren't you going home?

I should. Oh, right.

Thanks for today.

Whatever.

Oh, right.

I think Soon Tae needs to go to a hospital.

What about him?

He's so healthy in his age.

I'm not sure about the details, but you should take him.

Okay. I will.

Gwang Jae.

Can't you live for yourself at least for a day?

- What are you talking about? - Don't put things off.

That's so random.

Think only about yourself.

Do what you want to do.

I'm sorry. It must've been hard to clean up alone.

I won't be late again. Let's go upstairs.

I told you not to carry heavy stuff alone.

I can do this alone, so why would you...

Just for a while.

Let's stay like this just for a while.

I'm at the rooftop.

Can I talk to you for a second?

I thought it the easy way at first,

but no matter how many times I think about it,

I don't think I belong here.

Like a thing that's placed on a wrong spot.

But I'd like to...

see your face one last time.

(I'd like to see your face one last time.)

I'll wait until 10pm.

(I'll wait until 10pm.)

(I'll wait until 10pm.)

Mr. Thumbs Up...

How can I leave you behind?

How can I?

So don't go.

Don't go anywhere.

- Bread. - My bread.

Guys.

Mister from the loft told me to hand this to you.

What's the message from our handsome manager?

What's the message?

What?

Isn't it some kind of virus?

Hold on.

"Trust me and follow me"?

Let's see.

Hold on.

"Trust and follow me."

It's our song.

I think it got a lot better.

(We thank Lee Ju Shil for her guest appearance.)
