What if he doesn't show up again?

We haven't seen him for two weeks.

Today, he'll show up. I know it.

- How can you be so sure?
- He has a pattern, you see.

At a particular time of the year,

he says goodbye and disappears.

After that, he always returns.

And today's the day.

What is he, a werewolf?

Does he turn into a wolf at every full moon?

- The national trial exam.
- What?

You mean, he's still in high school?

Hey, it's been 30 minutes already. Let's just go.

- Oh, look!
- My gosh.

- Look!
- Oh, my.

He's here.

- Finally!
- We've been waiting for you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

- It's okay!
- Don't worry!

We missed you.

Sadly, I think this will be my last performance.

- No!
- Whatever. You're just saying that.

You always say it'll be the last performance...

but always come back.

Thank you for all your support.

I'll remember all of you for a long time.

No!

He's an attention-seeker who does this...

to get a reaction out of people.

Those who try hard to look cool are never competent.

Let's not waste our time here. Let's go. Come on.

We've found a diamond in the mud.

Make sure you pick up the gifts another day.

Thank you for everything.

Hey, you. Masked man!

We're here to make you an offer you can't refuse.

The Coldplay of Hongdae's indie scene, SPINE9.

The band is looking for a new guitarist,

and we'll give you a chance to participate in the audition.

What do you say? Aren't you excited?

I bet you can't turn it down...

I'm sorry, but I must decline.

Hey, wait.

Come on, kid. Don't make such a hasty decision.

We're the Coldplay of Hongdae.

- I must decline.
- No.

We won't take no for an answer. You can pay your way out of it.

Take this.

The third track is the song we'll use in the audition.

Take a listen, and come up...

with a guitar riff and a sub vocal melody line.

If you pass the audition, you can join SPINE9.

The audition will begin at 6pm on Friday.

In the practice room at Club Spark, where all bands gather. Okay?

All of a sudden, I was reminded of the saying...

with the end-of-the-century vibe that made me cringe.

"Music is the only drug allowed by the government."

Will I manage to quit it this time?

Can I...

really quit music?

Can I?

I bet that jerk, Hyun Chul, left because he got a good offer.

They must've made an enticing offer.

So he got all excited...

and ditched us, using me as an excuse.

Don't be ridiculous. You're always like this.

Darn. Anyway,

if we want to get the team back in order and reclaim the prime slot,

we must hurry up and find a talented new member who's already popular.

I told you. That guy is no good.

Why do you think he always wears a mask?

He's not confident about the lower half of his face.

Clearly, you do not have a good eye.

You saw his eyes.

Even with the mask on, you can tell that he's handsome.

I'm sure he's handsome. I bet 50 dollars. Are you in?

Is the offer still on the table?

I have some conditions, though.

First, I can never take the mask off due to personal reasons.

Second, I'll be a high school senior next year,

so I must focus on my studies at exam time.

Third, I have a unique family situation,

so I must put school before music,

and my family will always be my top priority.

Despite that...

can I still join the band?

What did you just say?

- You'll become what?
- Choi Se Gyeong's boyfriend.

You're not serious right now, are you?

At first, I thought I was seeing things while daydreaming.

I was like, "Or, am I dead?"

"Did I just see an angel?"

I thought that for a moment.

But no. I was wrong.

She's real.

Such a beauty actually exists!

Hey, brother! I need her info.

You can help me, right?

You're like Sherlock Holmes.

You're better than the FBI when it comes to gathering Intel.

Right, I don't even need to look into it. Just give up.

Darn you! Why should I?

"Why?"

Do you want to hear the truth?

Choi Se Gyeong in 11th grade at Seowon Arts High School.

- She plays the cello.
- Choi Se Gyeong is here!

In front of her school, you always see a crowd...

of students from all-boys high schools in the area...

who want to see her and people...

from entertainment agencies who want to make her a superstar.

I can't get you out of my mind. You, my angel...

Don't you want to be like Ko So Young?

It's more competitive than getting into a good college.

Sorry, she doesn't have time for you.

She never even shows any interest in them.

She always keeps to herself.

She's disciplined and extremely talented.

Her schedule?

She's busier than most celebrities.

From school and her lessons and practice...

to recitals and various social events.

She has no time to spare.

And her family?

Gosh, she comes from a very good family.

You know what a prestigious family means, right?

- I know. A family of good writers?
- Wrong.

Do you want to get your front teeth knocked out?

Someone's not in the mood for jokes.

- Fine, continue.
- Her family is very wealthy.

Hey, why do you think an angel like her...

descended to the human world?

Even if she had to take off her wings...

to descend into this realm,

she could go ahead and open dozens of factories...

on the land her family owns to manufacture wings.

My dear daughter, are you ready for your recital today?

I picked out a few dresses for you.

Just for your reference, I like the pink one the best.

And most importantly,

she already has a boyfriend.

They've already met each other's families.

They're practically engaged.

But I want to marry her.

Goodness. I know you're smitten, but get a grip.

Hey, look. He's handsome.

And he's rich.

On top of that, he goes to med school and is in a band.

Do you seriously think you can beat a doctor-to-be?

Do you think they saw us?

I have no idea.

Anyway, give up already.

To Choi Se Gyeong, you're just a peasant.

You can't dare to...

Gosh, that idiot actually climbed over the wall.

It is you.

The part-timer at the ice cream shop.

How did you get in?

Well, you know. I got invited.

Is that so? Who invited you?

The one who organized this party?

Oh! Hello.

The chairman of Seowon Arts High School...

organized this party,

and I'm the chairman's daughter.

If I remember correctly, neither of us invited you.

Who are you?

- Are you a thief?
- What?

What do you take me for?

I invited him.

Se Gyeong, you invited him?

Why?

I didn't pay for my ice cream that day.

Follow me. I don't have my wallet on me right now.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I didn't think you'd remember meeting me that day.

How about we get on a first-name basis?

I'm in 11th grade too.

Don't waste your life away. You should use your time wisely.

- What?
- If you keep being clingy,

you'll be seen as a stalker.

Stalkers are ones who failed in life.

Take my sincere advice instead of the money for the ice cream.

I am not a stalker.

Oh, sorry.

You barely know me.

It takes time to become friends with...

You see, I'm wearing this dress...

to deliver a perfect performance in front of professors...

who may teach me later on.

How much time, effort, and money do you think that went into this?

Is this a quiz?

A day? Two days?

Think about it.

Do you think I've even had a moment to be distracted?

And it won't be any different going forward.

But you're human, not a machine.

You should also play and let loose...

You see, we live in different worlds.

Didn't you see the people at the party?

When you're busy playing,

I'm busy networking.

When you're building sandcastles, I'm building connections.

Your life is FAH.

What?

Your life is frustrating as heck.

You can never get back your youth.

You need to let loose and have some fun here and there...

- Do you like stripes?
- You mean, the soft drink?

Of course, I do. Shall we go have some now?

No, not that. I meant stripes.

Stripes? Why do you ask?

Your fly is open.

My gosh.

Oh, no.

I'm not scared tonight

No obstacles can stand in our way

Anymore

All right

I'll tell you no matter what

My heart is starting to beat

- Louder now - Let's go

Step one, even if I fall down

Step two, I will get up twice

Yes, don't stop

I can fly away

Keep on knocking, and when the door opens

Then the story about the two of us

Will unfold on this vast sea

Reach out your hands, higher

You can almost touch it

Let's follow our dreams

- As for the Yoon Dong Jin Band, - Yes.

did you confirm the changes in their overseas tour schedule?

The talk with the organizer for their tour in Europe went well.

And we're holding off on starting ticket sales for North America.

And we still haven't decided on the band...

for the opening performance?

I followed your suggestion and submitted a list...

that mainly consisted of rookie indie bands,

but Yoon Dong Jin said no to every single one of them.

In 30 minutes, I'll be meeting...

- with the AR and MR teams.
- Got it.

Where is Yoon Dong Jin now?

When the path you're on

Is too exhausting

And challenging

Please tell me

Don't hide it

You're not alone

Eventually

Just like the blue whales

We'll swim too

- Without fear - That was during...

- the PC communications craze.
- Right.

People would freely criticize songs on online forums...

and also used them to look for band members.

I also joined a school band through that route.

The name of the band was...

First Love Memory Manipulators?

Am I remembering this correctly?

I'm not too sure,

but people called us "The Manipulators" in short.

And they weren't wrong...

because we were awful.

Then tell me about the time when you first met the band members.

It was embarrassing.

Back then, we had to tell each other to stand somewhere in Hongdae...

holding a school magazine in the right hand...

in order to recognize each other when we met.

So that was when you met...

Mr. Oh Ma Joo for the first time, right?

That's right. I can't believe it's been 29 years already.

Then are any of the other co-members still working...

in the music industry?

- No one. I'm the only one.
- My gosh.

Unfortunately, we had to disband after a short while...

because one of the members caused big trouble.

Sir, I think I've discovered a hidden gem.

You need to see this.

Here, this guy with the mask.

Isn't he such an amazing guitarist?

He's a sub-vocalist, so he doesn't have many parts.

But he has a unique voice.

And as you can see, he's tall and fit.

I think he's got a nice face too.

What do you think?

Is this mask his styling concept?

Well, don't you think it's a cool marketing tactic?

It makes you want to take it off.

My gosh. They're already here.

- Can I get your autograph?
- Let us through.

- Sorry. Coming through.
- Over here!

- Sorry.
- Can I get your autograph?

- Hey, let's go.
- Come on, quick.

Hey, go.

Thank you.

- Gosh.
- Oh, boy.

My gosh. I'm so frazzled.

I nearly died.

I could barely breathe, wearing the mask.

You're our lucky charm!

Gosh. If people see his face, they'll go wild.

Gosh, it's such a shame.

Hey, leave him be.

When the masked singer takes off his mask, it's game over.

It's time you took it off.

We have a truckload of masks from your fans.

Why don't you just wear gold grills like rappers do?

Then we'll get some gold bars at least.

I have good news and bad news.

Which one do you want to hear first?

Gosh, I really hate it when you say that.

You make me feel like...

I'm the most indecisive person in the world.

Well, they say bad things happen before good things.

Let's just get it over with.

Tell us the bad news first.

I think it's about time...

we parted ways.

What? What are you talking about?

Are you ditching us?

You were all excited when you said your sales soared thanks to us.

Then what's the good news?

I just got a call from MJ Entertainment.

They're looking for a band that could tag along...

on Yoon Dong Jin's concert tour overseas.

Okay, and?

SPINE9 is on the list!

Next week, Mr. Oh Ma Joo...

will come here...

to watch you guys perform in person!

- My gosh!
- Yes!

Keep on knocking, and when the door opens

Wait. But who's Oh Ma Joo?

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

- Yes!
- Yes!

Hey, you're in a band.

How could you not know who Oh Ma Joo is?

You know who Yoon Dong Jin is, right?

Of course, I do.

He's the godfather of Korean band music.

Oh Ma Joo is the one who helped Yoon Dong Jin...

become the number one artist in the country.

Oh Ma Joo has been his manager since he was a nobody.

And he's known to have the Midas touch.

Whatever he works on becomes a huge hit,

be it a song, an album, or an artist.

That's right. If Oh Ma Joo picks us,

we'll join Yoon Dong Jin on his concert tour overseas,

and we can work with the best of the best...

in a top-of-the-line facility.

In other words, we can release a real album.

Hey, kiddo.

Do you now understand what an amazing opportunity this is?

My gosh. This is so cool!

Let's celebrate, guys. Cheers!

- Cheers!
- Cheers.

I got into an accident.

Come to the Seogyo Police Station as soon as you can.

Sorry, something's come up. I have to go.

- Hey.
- He's doing this again.

Why does he have so many secrets?

(Seogyo Police Station)

I told you. I was the one who drove!

My heart was pounding like crazy,

so I got out of the car and left the scene for a bit.

But as you can see, I voluntarily came here.

Ma'am, please don't lie.

You did not come here voluntarily.

We ran your plate and called you here.

This is clearly a hit-and-run case.

Right, I told you that I'd pay for what I did.

The damaged goods and the medical expenses.

I'll compensate him for everything.

So what is the problem?

He said the driver was someone else.

It's my car. Who'd drive it if not me?

I swear, she wasn't the driver.

It was someone else. I'm sure of it.

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

I'm fine. I tripped and fell...

while trying to avoid getting hit by the car. Look, here.

I heard it was a car accident.

What exactly happened?

Is my dad the victim, or did he cause the accident?

Have you checked the security footage?

This lady's car crashed into your father's warehouse.

But the security cameras at the scene were broken,

so we have yet to confirm who the hit-and-run driver is.

This lady is saying it was her,

but I think your father keeps saying it wasn't her.

- Could you ask him for me?
- Sure.

Did you see the driver?

My father clearly saw the driver with his own two eyes.

The driver who ran away wasn't her. It was a guy.

Why? What did he say?

Are you sure?

I clearly saw him with my own two eyes.

He's sure the driver who ran away...

- was this lady's son.
- Hey!

How dare you try to dump this on my son?

Please be quiet!

It's not true. I swear I was the one who drove.

It was a dark alleyway without a single street light.

How could he have seen the driver's face?

He's doing this to mess with me!

- Thank you.
- No problem.

Thanks for being your father's interpreter.

We'll be in touch once we find solid evidence.

- You said you were in 11th grade.
- Yes.

For your father's sake,

you should study hard and try not to be distracted. Okay?

Eun Gyeol!

What on earth is your dad saying?

(Hardworking Seogyo Police, Safe City for Happy Citizens)

He won't let me leave. What is this?

My gosh.

He says you must be worried about Byung Ho.

Is he trying to provoke me?

"Ma'am, you haven't changed at all."

What's with the pause?

What is it?

What's he saying?

Tell me. What did your dad say?

Tell me everything. Don't leave a single word out!

"Ma'am, you haven't changed at all."

"Even the day..."

"when the fire broke out at my house six years ago,"

"you pretended not to know the truth."

Go ahead and sue me...

for violating the Housing Lease Protection Act...

or stage a one-man protest if you want to. I don't care.

I want you to move out at once.

"You held us accountable for everything when we did nothing."

"It's your own fault..."

"that Byung Ho turned out like this."

That's what he said.

What?

What did my son do?

There's nothing wrong with my son!

(To Die For Chicken)

Sorry for calling you out of the blue today.

The interpreter was running late because something had come up,

so I had no choice but to call you.

Couldn't you just let it go and let them off quietly?

It's not like you suffered serious damage.

She said she'd compensate you for all the goods and medical expenses.

Then what? Should I not have said anything like six years ago?

Because I can't speak,

and people wouldn't care to listen to what I have to say?

Because no one would listen...

to those with no power and people with disabilities,

should I have just stayed quiet, like I did back then?

Did Byung Ho become happy because we kept it to ourselves?

Were we happy that we chose to suffer without speaking out?

It didn't make me happy.

I felt like I owed you and Eun Ho an apology.

"I should've fought."

"I should have yelled and said my boys didn't cause the fire."

"I shouldn't have stayed quiet." I regretted it over and over.

From now on, I won't do anything I'll regret later.

For the family's sake and for Byung Ho too.

"I'm out. You guys go for it?"

Hey, Eun Gyeol never worded it like that.

He said he couldn't do it with us due to personal reasons.

What are you, an AI bot?

He sounded so arrogant.

Let me ask you this.

What are the so-called personal reasons?

Like I said in the past,

I must put school before music,

and my family will always be my top priority.

So? You've decided to choose your family over us?

Yes.

Why?

Is your dad giving you some assets on the day of the performance?

You have to be there, or he'll take it back?

Then you'll be okay with me not performing?

You little...

Hey! Have you lost your mind?

Do you think no one's above you because you're popular?

I told you guys that I never liked him from the get-go!

He's serious about doing music? As if.

He played us and used us.

To become popular with girls...

and relieve stress from studying.

He used us.

Stop, that's enough.

Who are you to play us?

Oh. "See if you guys can pull it off without me."

Are you messing with us?

Were you waiting for the perfect moment to ruin things?

Drop it.

Who are you to ruin everything for us?

- Who do you think you are?
- Hey, that's enough!

- Drop it!
- Guys!

I nearly got my family killed in the past.

I was so preoccupied with music...

that I neglected my brother who couldn't hear or shout for help.

I was having a great time and cared about nothing else.

My family never talked about it,

so I thought they'd forgotten all about it,

which was why I was starting to feel like I could finally breathe now,

but I was wrong.

It's become a deep scar.

It wasn't forgotten. It's become a forbidden topic.

So I must return to where I belong before it gets too late.

I'll endanger my family if I start enjoying this more.

Thanks for everything.

Do you have to ditch us now, of all times?

Before you ruin our livelihood,

shouldn't you consider distancing your family first?

You're 18. You're old enough now.

I'm sorry.

We're going to do it.

Even without you, we must do it. However...

We'll wait for you, just this once.

(Seogyo Study Room)

You weren't at your desk, so I waited for you here.

(Report Card)

Your homeroom teacher called me.

I heard your grades had dropped significantly.

Did you go through my room?

Why? You never did this before.

To be honest, this wasn't my first time visiting the study room.

I've visited a few times to bring you snacks.

But you weren't at your desk.

I won't ask you...

why you're keeping secrets from me...

and how you got that scar.

I want to know, but I won't ask.

I'll just wait until you tell me.

But I don't want your dad to find out.

I want your dad to become much happier than he is now.

The thing is, you're his joy.

You are his pride.

You'll come back, right?

Very soon, you'll stop being confused...

and return to being the Eun Gyeol I used to know, right?

(Viva Music)

(Viva Music)

(Viva Music)

- Do you like my daughter too?
- Pardon me?

No, that's not why I'm here.

There was a musical instrument shop called Viva Music right here.

- Viva Music?
- Yes.

The owner and I were close, so I used to visit often.

I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

I suddenly thought of the shop, so I wanted to stop by.

- I'll be off, then.
- Are you...

Ha Eun Gyeol, by any chance?

How do you know my name?

(Viva Music)

You've grown up to be a fine young man.

Do you want to come in for a moment?

I have something to give you.

She's good, isn't she?

She's my daughter. She wants to be a cellist.

She's 18 too, just like you.

I see.

And she's rebellious like most 18-year-olds.

Her poor cello has to put up with that.

If you don't mind me asking,

how did you know Mr. Viva?

I'm his daughter.

I didn't know he had a daughter.

Of course, you didn't know.

I moved to the US in 11th grade to study abroad...

and stayed there...

until I heard he'd passed away.

Open it.

He left it behind for you.

If I think it sounds good enough,

I'll give you that guitar. I know you want it.

Really?

Are you really going to give me that guitar?

I said, "If I think it sounds good enough."

I clearly said that.

I waited six years to give you this.

I've been taking good care of it,

so you can play it right away without having to tune it.

I don't know how the two of you met...

and how you became close,

but what he said about you...

to his lawyer was pretty cool.

Are you ready to hear it?

Yes.

"That kid..."

That kid knows how to talk to the guitar...

and how to talk to the world through his guitar.

He is...

the most talented guitarist I've ever met.

Do you like it?

You said you would check my homework before giving it to me.

I was going to give it to you anyway.

You act like you're harsh.

But you always prepare carrots first before whipping the horse.

You received a carrot.

Why do you look like you were whipped?

Because I think I got homework that is more difficult.

Homework?

I gave up performing, which I was crazy for.

It was such a tough decision.

And now you're making me contemplate again.

Why do you make things so complicated?

Because my life is at stake.

What's the right answer?

Living a life that makes my heart beat.

Living a life as a trophy for my father.

Whichever I choose,

my heart aches because of the other option I didn't choose.

I'm not happy.

You could flip a coin.

How can you decide on your life with a coin?

You're an artist. You should know what a metaphor is.

Think of the stage as your coin and flip it.

You wanted to break down the beats and raise the tempo.

Why are you making me put out a fire?

You're too fast.

Do you put out a fire when you're not even ready?

Hey, kiddo, increase the output drive.

- Do you want to amp it up?
- What?

Yes.

Shall we start from the verse?

I'm not scared tonight

No obstacles can stand in our way

Anymore

All right

I'll tell you no matter what

Your fly is open.

Your fly is open.

How embarrassing.

I'm done for.

My goodness.

Seriously.

Bring it on. Let's fight.

My gosh.

I cried so much

In the rain

In the snow

You were in the rain

Hey.

I faintly remember

Bal San.

Our last words

Hey.

Your last word

Bal San.

What's the name of this song?

Oh, you're Yi Chan.

Can you put my hair back down?

This song is called...

"The Story of You and the Rain" by Boohwal.

You who looked sad that day

I couldn't dare see you

I cried so much

In the rain

In the snow

It goes like this.

Yi Chan, you must be in love.

But I...

have...

nothing.

You should be in a band then.

They worship guys in a band.

Kurt Cobain proved it himself.

Who is that?

Just know that he exists.

The only way...

for the poor and the powerless...

can conquer the world and win fair ladies...

is to join a band.

A band?

Do you like bands?

Not a bit. They make noise pollution.

And you're going to a band concert?

It's Ji Hwan's regular concert with his band club members.

He needs flowers.

Can I join you?

I love bands.

No, you love medical students.

Don't be like that. Let's go together, Se Gyeong.

If you get me an invitation,

I'll prepare the flowers. How about that?

I'll prepare a bouquet as big as this.

Just get a bouquet then.

No, I can't. I need to make it straight.

Are you okay? Your uniform is ruined.

Hey, are you out of your mind?

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm going home anyway.

Hey, you should apologize properly.

She thinks she's better than us.

It's all wet.

Thank you.

I'll wash it before returning it to you.

You're Yoon Chung Ah who studies art, aren't you?

Wait...

- Se Gyeong.
- It's Se Gyeong.

- It's Se Gyeong.
- It's Se Gyeong.

- Se Gyeong.
- Se Gyeong.

- It's Se Gyeong.
- What's going on?

My gosh. Why is he not here?

It's really Se Gyeong.

- Yes.
- What is she wearing?

- Is it really...
- What is it?

- What's going on?
- Who is that guy?

- What are they doing?
- What's going on?

I guess you like bands as well.

You should've told me.

Actually,

I'm in a band too.

They're a thing, right?

- Right?
- Are they dating?

Se Gyeong.

Do you want to come to our concert later?

Where did you say we were going?

Where did you say we were going today?

To get the dashcam footage.

He found a car that was at the scene on the day of the accident.

I'm going to ask the owner to show us the dashcam footage.

Having you there to interpret for me will be very helpful.

I...

have...

Actually, I have an important...

No! Eun Gyeol has an important meeting today.

He and I are meeting my coach today...

to sort out the schedule for my off-season training.

Eun Gyeol has to study.

I'll go instead of him.

No.

Coach needs to interact with someone who can hear too.

Besides, he loves Eun Gyeol.

So you can go there with your interpreter.

Did you know?

Of course.

How?

(Club Spark's representative band!)

I'm popular on social media.

I have over 2,000 followers now.

Do you want to come too?

Bring your girlfriend.

I'll give you invitation tickets.

It's fine. I can't hear anything anyway.

You little...

Hello.

Are you sick?

I'm all right.

It's just...

It's just a simple cold.

He can't even talk.

Hey, do you think you can perform tonight?

Darn it.

Hey, kiddo. Go and get some medicine.

We still have time.

- Okay.
- Hurry.

(Chamsin Pharmacy)

If you had snuck into the house,

you should have just stolen some money from me quietly.

Why did you have to steal my car? Look at the mess you created!

I'm near the karaoke bar in Hongdae you used to work at.

Okay. I got it.

Hide in there until the dust settles.

I'll call you back.

You should take some medicine first.

The pharmacist said...

you could get your voice back with some luck.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Hold this.

Goodness.

Gosh. That's enough, you jerk.

- Do you want to pass out?
- Hey.

Give me a few more. Come on.

Hey.

- I need the pills.
- The pills?

What? Gosh.

- Hey.
- Darn it.

- Come on. Just go back inside.
- Give them to me.

- Go back inside.
- Come on.

Hello.

What?

What? You found what?

(Seogyo Police Station)

It's the dashcam footage.

It has a clear shot of the driver.

Ma'am.

You know where your son is, right?

(Hardworking Seogyo Police, Safe City for Happy Citizens)

Are you happy now that you ruined my son's life?

Does that hit the spot?

What happened is unfortunate.

But this is the best for your son, Byung Ho.

How dare you lecture me?

Don't worry about my son.

Worry about your son.

You think you have the perfect son, don't you?

You must be so proud,

thinking you did a great job raising him.

But do you know...

what your so-called perfect son is doing right now?

He acts as if he's a good student in front of other people,

but he secretly goes clubbing.

He drinks, smokes, and does drugs.

Did you know that?

Do you think...

Eun Gyeol would have done that if he respected you as his father?

Don't be fooled.

It's your son who disrespects you the most in this world.

Got that?

What did she say just now?

What did she say?

- Isn't that Oh Ma Joo?
- Is that Oh Ma Joo?

- This way, sir.
- Is it really him?

- No way.
- Oh Ma Joo?

- Really?
- What's he doing here?

- No way.
- Why is he here?

You should sing.

Me?

We don't have any other choice.

They're tone-deaf. I can't let them sing.

No way. How could I...

You've been backing me up.

You can do it. No.

You must do it.

- You look handsome!
- You guys are cool!

I'm not scared tonight

No obstacles can stand in our way

Anymore

All right

I'll tell you no matter what

My heart is starting to beat

- Louder now - Let's go

Step one, even if I fall down,

Step two, I will get up twice

Yes, don't stop

I can find the way

Keep on knocking, and when the door opens,

Then the story about the two of us

Will unfold on this vast sea

Knocking

You lied to me.

I can explain everything.

You deceived me.

You looked down on me and made a fool out of me.

It's not that.

I was going to tell you.

But I never had a chance.

I was going to tell you everything...

after tonight's show.

Tell me what?

I...

want to do music.

I like music.

I like performing on stage.

You're wrong about that.

You're just lost.

You're distracted momentarily because school work is hard.

This isn't the real you.

No. This is the real me.

You might not like who I am.

But the guy on stage tonight was the real me.

You're still in high school. But you go clubbing,

drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, do drugs, and act like a rebel.

- So that's the real you?
- Who said...

I drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes?

Let's go home. We'll talk about this at home.

You don't belong here!

No. I'm not leaving.

I don't want to live as your trophy anymore.

I'm not your interpreter.

I'm not a fire alarm or an angel.

I'm just me.

Then why didn't you tell me sooner about how you felt?

I knew you'd behave this way.

Just like now, you're set in your ways.

You still should have told me!

If you had respected me as a parent,

you should have done...

whatever you could to persuade me.

That's what a family does!

How could I have persuaded you?

You can't even hear my music anyway!

I suppose the Almighty truly exists, after all.

In exchange for my deafness,

the Almighty gave me my two sons, you and Eun Ho,

Dad!

Dad!

Welcome.

I'm the master of this store.

I'm sure it wasn't easy to find my store.

What brings you here?

Well, it looked just like a music store, Viva Music,

I knew from a long time ago.

I see. Viva Music.

But this place is called La Vida Music.

If you put the names together, it makes, "Viva la Vida."

It interprets as... "Hooray, life!"

What an interesting connection.

So how can I help you?

I see. Are you here to sell that guitar?

- What?
- The one you're holding.

Oh, this? Okay. Here you go.

Let me take a look.

Gosh, this is a rare guitar.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Yes.

How much can I get for this?

I'll give you the rest later.

If you need a different guitar,

may I interest you in an electric guitar...

Jinsung Musical Instruments...

recently launched for a fraction of the price?

Sure. I'll think about it.

Okay.

Come back if you have a change of heart.

It won't be easy to find my store, though.

No. I won't be back here again.

You never know what the future holds.

So take it for now.

Sure.

Do not lose this transaction slip. Never. Okay?

You'll be in a tight spot if you do. Okay?

Okay.

I'm just goofing around.

Bye.

Be careful on your way out.

- You might get lost.
- Okay.

Viva la Vida!

You startled me.

Hey.

I'm sorry about that.

Wait. You forgot this.

What?

Yoon Dong Jin?

It's you.

Oh Ma Joo!

- "Oh Ma Joo?"
- He's over here!

Gosh. You're here early.

Who...

I'm the frontman of the band, First Love Memory Manipulators.

My name is Ha Yi Chan.

"Ha Yi Chan?"

Ha Yi Chan?

Dad?

It's Dad.

Dad...

can talk.

(Twinkling Watermelon)

When will we find people and practice as a band?

We'll need someone like Yoon Dong Jin to make this work.

I'll bring him then!

Yoon Dong Jin? It's you.

I'm Yoon Dong Jin.

- Can I treat you like my brother?
- What?

So he's joining a band to win over a girl?

Who are you?

If I see you, you're dead meat.

Right. Mom. Why didn't I think about looking for Mom?

Do you like that guy?

No. Not at all.

I was hoping there would be a twist. What a bummer.

I'm sure there's a way.

I promise to repay you for your help before I die.
