Episode 12
Thank you.
Meeting you has been like a dream to me.
I never imagined something like this would happen to me.
You should have appeared in my life three years ago.
At least I didn't appear three years later.
That's true.
I'm happier these days than I've ever been in my life.
I hope you feel the same way.
Sometimes, I feel worried.
I receive so much from you, but there's nothing I can do in return.
I'm happy I can do something for you.
For some reason, I keep thinking of my sister today.
If she were with me, I'd take her to the broadcasting station and introduce you.
She would have really liked that.
I told you that my sister also made music, right?
I ran into Producer Seo at the broadcasting station, and he says he knows my sister.
Do you know her too?
She sang in the indie scene. Her name was Yoon So Eun.
Mister.
Yeah?
You're not listening to me, are you?
I guess it's possible you didn't know her. My sister wasn't very famous then.
But my sister probably knew about you. You were really popular back then.
I don't have to go home this early.
Gong Chul would ask questions.
You've been up a lot of nights writing music.
Go in and rest today.
But I want to be with you.
But why are you so pale? Are you drunk?
It must be because the person eating in front of me was so beautiful.
Who was she again?
Go inside.
Okay. Get home safely.
I met Producer Seo at the broadcasting station. He said he knew my sister.
What's this? I can't believe you came to my house.
How did you know?
What?
Yoon Se Na.
Oh, I ran into her in the afternoon at the broadcasting station.
I hear she's So Eun's sister.
I always thought they looked alike.
My hunch was right.
You knew it too, right?
I can understand why you took her in.
Of course you wanted to take care of her.
Leave it alone.
Yoon Se Na is my personal issue, and it's none of your business.
I'm not interested. I just feel bad.
If you had told me, I wouldn't have treated Yoon Se Na so badly.
If you meet her, tell her I'm sorry.
If that's all you had to say, can I go inside?
It's cold. Go home.
Yes?
I missed you.
If you miss me, why did you call? You should see me.
Just a minute.
When did you get here?
You should have told me you were here.
I was on my way to your place.
What if we missed each other?
Look at me all you want.
You won't see me at the company tomorrow.
Shi Woo's a hit!
I didn't know the reaction would be this hot.
President Wook, you made a good call.
Let's ride this wave and release Shi Woo's single album.
Tell Shi Woo the news.
How about bringing in Yoon Se Na again?
They work well together.
Good idea.
Before another company takes her, let's give her an exclusive contract.
I'll take care of that once I think it over.
But how long is Miss Shin's vacation?
Why has she been gone so long?
Wow. There are over 2,000 comments on your article alone.
'I never knew I'd feel emotional hearing Shi Woo sing.'
As long as they know now.
'Shi Woo's face is the best. His singing's the best.'
His personality's the best too.
I just like the song.
They just liked the song.
What?
I read wrong. 'I like the song.'
They liked the song.
The song sure was good.
Do you like President Wook?
Are you going to eat?
I'm in the mood for soup today.
Sorry. I'm in the mood for cake today.
What are you doing, bum?
I'm not a bum. I'm a freelancer.
Same difference. Come out. We have to party.
This is our celebration party.
Thanks to me, you're a hit.
Oh, so I'm a hit thanks to you?
They're all saying the song is great.
You'll probably get a lot of requests to write songs.
You think so?
But you won't be able to do other work.
Because you're only going to write songs with me.
I'm putting out a single album. Work on the album with me.
Don't want to?
No, I want to. But will the company allow it?
There's no reason for them to object. The reaction is good.
Blow out the candle.
Congratulations on the success of our first song.
One, two, three.
Do you want to start working together today?
What kind of work?
Are you a fool?
There's someone else I like.
Did I just get rejected?
Wow. How could you like someone else with me right here?
It's so shocking I can't drive properly.
Honestly, I liked writing songs with you.
But if you keep acting this way, it'll be difficult for us to work together.
It would be better if we did things other than songwriting.
Hey.
Fine, that's all for now.
But starting today, don't think of anything else. Only think of me.
That way you'll write a song perfect for me.
Don't laugh. I don't want to let you out.
Drive back safely.
Someone else?
I heard you're not going to the company for a couple of days.
You're not the type to take this kind of break.
By any chance, are you think of quitting the company?
I'm sorry.
Are you having problems with Hyun Wook?
It's not like that.
You were saying before that you were going to try your best with him.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Does Hyun Wook have another woman?
It's not like that. I just want to take a break.
I've been working too much all this time.
I want to take a break to travel and read.
Date around.
Hae Yoon.
You're a member of ANA's head staff.
It doesn't make sense for you not to be part of ANA.
Don't be thinking useless thoughts. Go back to the company.
President.
I'm your father's friend.
The daughter of a friend is my daughter too.
I don't know what it is that upset you.
But if you leave the company like this...
how do you think I'll feel?
Think it over carefully.
I'm putting out a single album. Work on the album with me.
Do you want to start working together today?
Why are you standing here like that?
I got an offer to work on a project, but I'm not sure if I should take it.
Hey, do you think you have a choice, being a bum and all?
- I'm not a bum. - Forget it.
After you make your ramen, hurry and clean the bathroom.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Yoon Se Na.
What? Me?
Hey.
I finally got a request for a song.
I'm waiting for the meeting right now. Isn't that great?
Congratulations.
I guess the necklace works.
Maybe only good things will happen now.
Someone's coming. I'll call you later.
Sure.
Sit down.
You're the president who requested to meet me?
Yes, it's me.
Shi Woo's song was good.
I was moved.
That's why I'm formally offering you work.
How about we work together?
I can't decide that on my own.
I have other offers, and I need to discuss it with President Lee Hyun Wook.
You don't have to do that.
You're not an ANA employee anyway.
- Still... - Why?
Because I'm Seo Jae Young?
That's right. There's been a lot of unpleasant business.
I think it's unfortunate too.
If I knew you were So Eun's sister, I would have been more considerate.
How did you know my sister?
People who do music know about each other.
We were different genres, but we were close.
After meeting you, I thought a lot about So Eun.
I remember what she said about you.
I remember her being upset because of her boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
What am I saying? I should be talking about work.
If you end up signing with our company--
Was her boyfriend someone in the music industry too?
Yes.
Seems like your sister didn't mention him at all.
No.
It is someone in this industry.
But I feel a bit uncomfortable telling you who.
That's his personal business.
I got sidetracked. I called you about work.
I'll start with the conditions.
I'd like to sign you for ten songs.
The most urgent song is for the Christmas album.
The artists we've confirmed are Kim Bum Soo, Sung Shi Kyung...
Hey, hey.
You were happier because you got a songwriting offer earlier.
I was very happy.
Why? Did the meeting not go well?
It's not that.
The person who requested to meet me was Producer Seo.
I didn't think he was a good person.
I always feel bad when I meet him.
But he says he was close to my sister.
I think he knows who my sister's boyfriend was.
Truth is, I've always wondered who he was.
But I don't want to know anymore.
I think I'll hate him if I see him.
What do you think Mister?
A lot of requests came in, so I probably shouldn't take the offer right?
It's funny that I'm even asking you.
He's a person who took Infinite Power and made things hard for you.
But can you be walking Dal Bong right now?
What if you catch a cold?
You should have come out with a jacket, Dal Bong.
Why are you spending your precious time with me?
I'd be with her 24/7 if I were you.
The academy has grown, but it'll take a while for my earnings to grow as much.
Looks like I won't be earning much this month.
It's stressful every time I have to ask my dad for money.
Hey, but it must not be so bad for you.
Shi Woo's doing well.
Hey, but what is this? This suffocating silence?
Is something wrong?
I'm scared.
I'm afraid Se Na will get hurt because of me.
I want her to be happy, and I want her to be successful.
I'm afraid she'll lose all that because of me.
Will I...
Will I be able to protect Se Na?
I didn't come back because of you. Your father asked me to.
He said I'm too important to the company, and that I couldn't leave.
President Lee is like a father to me, so I couldn't say no.
Thanks, whatever the reason is.
Are you happy to see me?
Are you kidding? I always have to look at your empty chair in the meeting room.
There's probably a lot to do.
I hear you're getting to debut the kids.
You'll be working all night.
But your father was wondering if you had any women.
I just thought you ought to know.
Did Hae Yoon go to work?
Don't you already know?
What do you want to say?
You may already know, but Hae Yoon's father and I are long-time friends.
I set up ANA with money he invested.
So what?
Don't give Hae Yoon a hard time.
Are you saying I should meet Hae Yoon because you took some money?
Is that what you mean?
Who's the girl you're seeing?
If I met her, would I disapprove again?
Who's the woman you're meeting?
It's not what you think.
She ruined her life because of me. I was helping her because I felt bad.
You think that's so honorable?
So you think you can meddle in my personal life?
If she's someone you can't tell me about, I don't have to meet her to know.
End it with her.
Then I won't interfere in your life anymore.
I can't understand that man.
Is it really possible he could have met her for so long without any indecent motives?
Since it bothers you this much, shall I look into it?
Would you be able to do that?
Of course.
- She was a trainee. - A trainee.
- She was at ANA for about two years. - Two years.
- She owns a tea shop now. - Tea shop...
Her face... well, she looks like a wolf.
A wolf?
Welcome.
You!
Yoo Hoo Joo.
Tae Min!
Doesn't your arm hurt?
What can I do? Popular me has to deal with it.
All my friends kept asking for it.
I'm so happy these days.
The song you sang is really nice.
All my friends love it.
To be honest, I couldn't understand what you said in the songs you sang before.
But I love this song.
Are you okay living in the dorm alone?
I'm used to it now.
Still, you must be lonely.
Mom.
Would it be possible for girls not to like me?
Of course not.
Right? They have to like me.
Do you have someone you like?
Can you tell?
Quick service.
What are you doing here?
I came to deliver your contract.
What contract?
I, Yoon Se Na, will write songs with Shi Woo.
Please sign.
Why does the contract look so sloppy?
Where are the conditions?
How much money will you give me?
What kind of songs? How long is the contract term?
Any condition not written on this paper is however you want it to be.
Sign with this.
What is this?
Your ink.
Okay, so you've signed with me.
- Put this on your lips. - I don't need things like this.
Then you can use it as ink for your renewal contract.
Let me think it over.
Shall I go inside so we can think it over together?
No, you can't come in.
Are you alone?
Yeah.
You must have been nervous.
I'm going.
What was the favor you wanted to ask?
I wanted you to help with vocal training.
We just brought in a fresh batch of trainees.
Wow, you must be doing well since you took Infinite Power with you.
But I'll have to pass.
I really like earning money, but not like this.
As long as I work with Hyun Wook, I don't think I can work with you.
Why not?
Honestly, you crossed the line.
You were friends, but you ended up leaving like that.
Do you know how difficult it was for Hyun Wook after you left?
Don't you think I had good reason for leaving the way I did?
It was because of your pride.
Do you think Hyun Wook became president because he wanted to?
His father made him take over as a way to resolve their issues.
And as a friend, you should have supported him, knowing his father was sick.
Why should I do all the supporting?
Don't you know how hard it was for Hyun Wook?
Why is everyone coming down on me? What did I do wrong?
You're the one who came between him and So Eun!
You spread rumors that she was cheating.
He was the one who took the person I discovered!
Forget it.
Let's stop. What's the point of bringing up the past?
And you should lower your defense a bit. Why are you so greedy?
[Yoon Se Na]
Hey.
I think I'll have to turn down your offer.
Why?
I think I told you before, we have different relationships with ANA.
And there was an offer that came in before yours.
You're very talented.
Don't you think it'd be better to discuss these things in person?
Do we need to meet if I'm turning down the offer?
Anyway, thank you for the offer. I'll hang up now.
Don't you want to visit the bar where your sister worked?
We can meet there to discuss the contract.
I was hoping we could talk about your sister too.
I keep thinking of So Eun after I met with you.
We've had a lot of memories there.
Where is that place?
Yes.
Okay. I'll head out right now.
Who were you talking to?
Oh. Yoon Se Na.
I think she's talented, so I made her an offer.
Why did you mention So Eun?
Didn't you know? She's So Eun's sister.
Yeah?
Hey, I just met Jae Young.
Jae Young seems to know everything. What happened?
Know what?
That Se Na is So Eun's sister!
- Did he tell you that? - Yeah.
He talked to Yoon Se Na on the phone right in front of me.
I think he said they were going to meet at the bar where So Eun used to work.
I was so nervous I didn't say anything in case I said something wrong.
Okay, hang up.
[Yoon Se Na]
Mister.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
You called?
Let's go. We have to go somewhere.
But I have an appointment.
Where are we going?
You called a lot.
Is something wrong?
But how did you know I was here?
Were you looking for me?
Or were you following me?
Weren't you on your way to meet Seo Jae Young?
[Producer Seo Jae Young]
Don't answer it.
I wasn't going to meet him about a contract.
I turned down his offer, but he said he wanted to tell me something else.
It's better not to meet him.
I understand. I won't meet him then.
But where are we going?
Wherever.
What's this?
Is this a surprise event?
Yes, that's right. A surprise event.
But are we just going to stay in the car?
This is a bit weak for a surprise event.
Are you going to dunk me in the ocean?
Or are you going to bury me in the sand?
I'm happy we came to the beach together, but I'm a bit cold.
You're acting strange today.
Yoon Se Na.
If by any chance... I'm not who you thought I was...
would you still love me?
Even if I were a bad person?
That can't be true.
By any chance...
if I were to go somewhere far away...
would you come with me?
With you?
If I were to hide somewhere...
will you come and find me?
Of course.
Me too.
I see you often these days.
Didn't you say you weren't interested in Yoon Se Na?
But why do you keep bothering her?
Do I need your permission to meet her?
Why?
Is there something going on between you and Yoon Se Na?
No way. That couldn't be.
She's the little sister of So Eun, the woman you loved.
- What are you trying to do? - Don't worry.
I won't tell her you did that to her sister.
Seo Jae Young.
Don't you have a conscience or guilt?
Conscience or guilt?
Shouldn't you be the one who feels that?
You want to help Yoon Se Na?
You've got to be kidding me.
The person putting Yoon Se Na in danger isn't me, it's you!
You want to protect her?
Then you should let go of Yoon Se Na, not come looking for me!
You should make your decision soon.
If you keep acting this way, you never know when I'll change my mind.
The fact that So Eun's sister is being lied to by someone like you...
I can't let it go anymore.
Aren't you tired from standing all day?
Look at these stiff calves.
It's because I'm supporting you too.
Don't forget about Se Na.
She doesn't have a conscience.
But why has she still not come in?
Maybe she isn't coming in.
Then...
- That tickles. - Why?
Don't do that.
That tickles.
You're late.
If you're going to be in late, come in a little later.
By any chance...
If I were to go far away...
would you come with me?
With you?
Sis.
There's someone I want to be with.
I hope you like him too.
I'm sorry.
I hope I'm not making the wrong choice.
Try to speed up preparations for Shi Woo's single album.
If we want to ride the 'Song For You' wave, we need to release it within October.
We still haven't chosen a producer.
Make a list, and ask Shi Woo to come in.
And is Informer going well?
After Roy joined the group, the tone is definitely different.
The reaction from China is very good.
They are prepared for you to check them out today.
Let's see them now then.
Not bad for a group quickly put together.
No, I think it's pretty bad.
I can tell the members don't get along.
Does that mean we can't debut?
Go and pack your bags. Starting today, you're sharing a dorm.
They're going to promote in both China and Korea.
Please contact the Chinese agency.
Aren't you working too hard?
I feel like you're doing everything alone.
I told you I'm going to leave soon.
Sorry.
Okay. The letter has been submitted.
So update me when the audition's ended, and the interview has been booked.
Also I need a three-bedroom house near the campus right away.
Thank you.
I hear you want me to choose a producer.
You didn't have to make a list.
I signed a contract with Yoon Se Na.
We're working on the single album together.
[Contract: Yoon Se Na and Shi Woo will work on the single album together.]
Yoon Se Na can't do it.
Choose one of producers the staff has recommended.
Why not Yoon Se Na?
It's not that she won't, it's that she can't.
- For personal reasons. - She didn't mention anything to me.
She had no reason to tell you.
But you know about it.
I've always wondered what it was. What is it?
The relationship between you two.
Do you really want to know?
Never mind.
I'll just hear it from Yoon Se Na.
I heard something pretty shocking.
You can't work with me?
Sorry. I wanted to tell you first.
Why can't you do it?
We wrote a contract. You signed it.
I'm going to study abroad.
Abroad?
What do you mean study abroad?
It just happened.
No, you can't go.
I'm not releasing a single album if you're not there.
There are plenty of good songwriters besides me.
You're the best songwriter for me.
Did you just figure that out?
You can't go anywhere. I...
I won't let you go.
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
Dal Bong. We'll meet again, so don't get sick, okay?
I'll pack your things for you.
Are you really going?
- Are you sad? - Of course!
It's not like America is close by.
I've never studied music.
I want to study it properly.
Do you have to go all the way there?
You're doing fine here.
Hey. Why are you trying to stop your friend?
Of all places, she's going to Bubbly.
It's Berkeley.
Are you going with the handsome dog owner?
Yeah.
He's an amazing man.
He's quitting the company to run off with you. ANA of all places.
That's how much he loves her.
- But isn't it a bit sudden? - What?
I'm jealous.
I should have met a guy like him.
I came to help you pack.
Are you done packing?
I don't have a lot to take. Just one bag.
Aren't you worried?
Why wouldn't I be worried?
It's my first time on a plane, my first time in America.
Stay right by my side.
Did you eat?
I didn't. I waited so we could eat together.
Hold on. We'll head out after I take care of this.
Is Dal Bong okay?
Yeah. Sung Jin will take care of him until we come back.
Is this Dal Bong?
- Yeah. - He's so cute.
What is this scarf?
Oh we put it on him because he got cold easily.
It's the first time I knit something.
It's a mess, right?
But it's the only scarf like this in the world.
From Se Na.
Why?
Is he so cute you can't take your eyes off of him?
Yes.
But Mister...
Yeah?
This scarf. Did someone make it for you?
I'm not sure. I don't really remember. Why?
It's just like I scarf I knitted in the past.
Never mind. It's just a scarf.
What should we go eat?
What?
[Flight confirmation for Lee Hyun Wook, Yoon Se Na -- Incheon to Boston.]
What is this?
Are the two of you leaving?
Why are you suddenly doing this? Everything's going well.
Both the company and Yoon Se Na. Nothing's going wrong.
A problem has come up.
What do you mean?
Jae Young found out.
I can't think of another way beside this.
I know it seems reckless.
But my father will come back soon.
And you're here.
Don't tell my father until I leave.
What have you done to Hyun Wook?
Do you only come looking for me when it's something to do with Hyun Wook?
I told you that it was my fault so please not to do anything.
I didn't tell him I found out from you. Isn't that enough?
- What? - Someone has to stop the two of them.
Why do you care about that?
What right do you have?
So you're going to wish the two of them well?
Be honest.
Deep down, didn't you want me to tell Yoon Se Na?
That way you have a chance of Lee Hyun Wook coming back to you.
Jae Young.
I should have just told Yoon Se Na everything.
That So Eun died because of Lee Hyun Wook!
I lived for years not even knowing where Hyun Wook was.
I was so happy when he came back.
Even if he didn't come back because of me, even if I'm not the one he loves...
I've made up my mind.
It's enough that he's just by my side.
But why are you making him leave?
Shin Hae Yoon!
We won't have anymore reasons to meet again.
All this time, I've put up with you
only because you were Hyun Wook's friend.
What are you doing here so early?
I wanted to stop by because it was on my way.
You couldn't have stopped by without a reason.
What is it?
Informer has set a date for their showcase.
Please come to see them.
Aren't you moving too quickly?
The members just started working together.
I feel better knowing you're still interested in the company.
What do you mean?
You need to get back.
That'll make things more peaceful at home too.
If you're so worried, move back home.
Don't worry about your grown son.
Just focus on your wife and Mi Na.
Are you two on the same side?
I don't feel worried hearing you raise your voice.
I'll get going.
That punk.
I saw the article on Informer.
I see that you didn't take my advice.
Did you learn that from your father?
Is father still going to the hospital?
Ask him yourself.
Please take care of his health.
You're the only one who can look after him.
It sounds like you're saying you won't then.
I hope the two of you are well.
Being difficult first thing the morning.
After meeting with you, I thought of So Eun a lot.
I remember what she said about her sister.
I remember her being upset about her boyfriend.
Was her boyfriend also someone in the music industry?
Yes.
Time to leave.
Hey, I'll take you to the airport.
No, Mister's going to pick me up.
I feel sad now that you're leaving.
Se Na.
Thanks for everything.
Be well, okay?
If you need anything, call me whenever. I'll send it over.
But not your keyboard. I posted it online to sell.
It's in exchange for rent.
Take it back.
Don't worry. I'll hold onto everything until you come back.
She's coming back?
You guys can't break up while I'm gone.
- Okay. - We'll see.
Hey.
Mister's coming soon. I'll go ahead. Don't come out.
I want to take you to the airport.
I'm afraid I'll cry if you do.
[Producer Seo Jae Young]
Yes.
What happened last time?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't make it because something came up.
Too bad.
There were a lot of pictures of your sister at the bar.
Wouldn't you have liked to have seen those pictures?
Go and see them for yourself if you're curious.
Say hi to your sister. That would be nice.
Hey, I'm at your house. You can come down.
I'll go straight to the airport.
I have somewhere to stop by.
Where?
There's someone I want to say goodbye to.
I won't take long. I'll meet you at the airport.
Wow, what kind of coincidence is this?
By chance, I move to this neighborhood, and by chance, I order a lunchbox.
By chance, it's someone I know.
I see you often around this neighborhood.
Why are you getting involved with a stranger's business and getting hurt?
I didn't think of you as a stranger.
Hey.
Do you want a job?
I'm looking for a pet-sitter.
I'm going to do something with you.
Until I get a song worth W2,000,000 from you.
You're special.
At least to me.
Do you know my sister too?
There used to be a woman he loved.
After she died, he never fully recovered.
How do you know that song?
It's my sister's song.
Yoon Se Na, your sister... by any chance...
This is the limit.
I can't go any further.
Why not?
Because you're Yoon Se Na.
[Handsome dog owner]
Did you know who I was?
Did you know who I was from the beginning?
- Se Na. - Don't come near me.
You wanted to show me the picture.
What was the reason?
I couldn't leave Lee Hyun Wook and you alone.
Are you tired? Are you more tired than I am?
I don't think I was ready for this.
