Episode 14
Please don't do this.
This is how everything got started.
Don't be nice to me, don't worry about me, and don't help me out either.
I'm sorry.
I just thought I was helping as the President of the company.
I'll take care of my own work, so you just worry about doing yours.
I was just worried.
I was worried that I may be the reason...
That's why I don't want you to do anything.
Ugh, seriously...
You have no idea how hard I'm trying right now.
Please just leave me alone.
Just let her go.
- Get in. - Where are we going?
Somewhere else away from the office. Just do as I say for now.
- I'm fine. - You are not fine.
I finally get why you can't write the song.
You seem to have forgotten something.
But if you can't work, then I can't succeed either.
Hurry up and get in.
What else would you like to do?
I'm perfectly fine now.
That was a good movie. I'm in a much better mood now.
I saw you spacing out throughout the entire movie.
Let's go, there's an art exhibit nearby.
No.
I just want to go home.
Is this because of President Wook?
I don't know what happened between you two, but why don't you quit it now?
So that you can at least work.
I need you to give me some time.
So you're saying that I'm no help?
I'll sort it all out quickly.
Thanks for everything today.
What is this all about, at such a late hour?
I just didn't want to go back to an empty house by myself.
I forced myself to come out this late because I didn't want to be alone either.
Because it feels lonely. I'm lonely, too.
I'm saying that I'm lonely.
Sung Jin.
How long has it been since you started your vocal training at ANA?
About five years?
Why do you ask?
Then you probably know the trainees better than I do.
Who is it that you're curious about?
Shi Woo.
Shi Woo?
His vocal range is pretty low, and he still lacks a bit in his skills.
But he has a way of drawing people in with his charm.
That's enough, don't you think?
That's not what I was asking.
That's not what you were asking?
He's actually more considerate than he looks.
He seems like a pretty good kid.
Really?
Why? Are you concerned about something?
He's the main headliner for our company right now.
It's not because you're concerned about him working with Yoon Se Na?
What's there to be concerned about?
Don't touch my balls.
The original deadline was the end of this week, but he wants some more time.
But I'm worried because there's not much time left.
- Do you think it'll be okay? - Maybe we need to find a new composer.
Any further delays will create a big problem.
Let's be patient for a little while longer.
It's going to be really tight if we want to design the album and run the PR on time.
Can you take care of coming up with the concept for the upcoming song?
Too much interference could delay their work even further.
They could come up with the song at any moment
so let's have some faith and wait a bit longer.
But what if they still can't manage to do it?
This is the most important project we've got
and if things don't go right, it's detrimental to our company!
Their last project did great, and that's why we're having them do it again.
I'm just worried that waiting too long on faith alone is going to ruin us.
Amateurs aren't called amateurs for nothing.
We call them that because they're unreliable.
I'll manage this project myself personally. Please put your trust in me.
President Wook is saying he'll manage it, so don't you think we can trust him?
Ugh... it would be nice if President Wook would just compose the song himself.
Okay, let's all get back to work.
You seem worried.
Are you sure things are going okay?
Yes, of course.
I'll trust you and just wait.
But the song must be completed before the team starts looking for another composer.
How's Yoon Se Na doing?
She's fine. Thanks to you.
Sounds to me like she's not fine.
Don't worry.
Because I'll take care of her myself.
If things don't go well... then I'm going to have to help you.
A composer must draw out their innermost feelings when writing a song.
But when they shut down their heart, then the song will never come to them.
When that happens
we have to wait for them to open their hearts on their own
or have someone help them do it.
The person to do that for her... is you.
Please handle it well.
President Wook.
How can I do that?
Why of all people, did it have to be you to be assigned this project?
It's really burdensome, isn't it?
It's not because of that... but I just can't come up with anything.
I'm starting to feel stressed too.
Let's eat and gain our strength.
Yoon Se Na.
Let's go. You need to come with me somewhere.
What about me?
Why did you bring me here?
Because I just had a feeling that you'd like to come here.
Don't you think that you'll feel better after getting some fresh air?
I used to come here often whenever I was struggling with something.
What were you struggling with?
I came to Seoul because I wanted to pursue my career in music.
But earning a living was just too difficult.
Just getting through each day was so tough
that I started to wonder what it was that I was doing with my life.
I came here to cry whenever I felt that way.
Then you've realized your dream.
You've already debuted as a composer, and you're even working with me.
I guess you're right.
Now that I think about it, so many things have changed in such a short period of time.
There will be many more changes in the future.
I hope that you'll only think of the good things the next time you come here.
Wait here, okay?
Think of this moment the next time you come here.
Instead of all the moments of struggle and sadness.
Yes, I want to push up the showcase date.
Let me know which dates are available.
Looks like things are going better.
Looks like it.
Are you okay seeing that?
It's my job to make sure things go well, so of course, I'm okay.
Let's go.
It was all very nice, but the main dance was too extreme.
Try to make it look more fluid and sexy.
And wear high heels whenever you practice from now on.
That way you get used to wearing them in time for your showcase.
We're doing a showcase?
Don't you think that we should in order to introduce you to the world?
And I'd like for them to wear something tight to go along with their song.
How about black dresses with gold accessories?
That's too ordinary.
But I'll leave it in your hands.
Is it okay for you to be out here during work hours
when the company is in such an uproar?
It's a part of my job to look after you when you're going through your struggles.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
It if weren't for you, I might be in the depths of despair right now.
I haven't been out like this in so long, and I feel like I can finally breathe.
It looks like a lotus leaf.
Shall we?
Just where in the world did this woman go and why isn't she home yet?
You!
Where have you been only to come home now?
Do you expect a sick patient like me to just sit around and eat this porridge?
You said you wanted the porridge because you're a sick patient!
If you don't want it, then make yourself some ramen instead!
I thought of this for the intro, so I kind of came up with something.
What do you think?
I feel proud.
I feel proud of myself for giving you the inspiration.
- Hey. - Yoon Se Na is finally back.
Anyways, I like it. I like everything you write.
What's this?
It's nice to see you both.
What are you doing, Team Leader Kim?
Don't misunderstand.
Nothing's going on here.
I hope never to hear from you again over something like this.
I'll be leaving now.
Are you trying to steal Team Leader Kim away as well?
Like you did with Kyu Won?
No, he came to see me on his own and asked me to hire him.
And I couldn't turn him down.
Are you sure that it's okay for you to keep working for ANA?
How is that any of your business?
Okay, that's where you stand.
But I'm clueless as to what Hyun Wook must be thinking.
What happened to your sister was his fault, but to continue to keep you by his side?
I just don't get it.
If Hyun Wook hadn't cheated on your sister with the newcomer
then So Eun may not have died the way she did.
Knowing that fact...
Why are you bringing that up when I didn't even ask?
I don't like hearing my sister's name cross your lips.
Okay, fine.
What was he talking about?
Just let it go. This is a personal matter.
President Wook and your sister knew each other?
Let's just call it a day. I'm going home.
What is it? Do you have something to say to me?
Can't you just ask the handsome dog owner directly?
To be honest...
I still can't believe that he's the same bastard who didn't even
show up at your sister's funeral.
If you feel uncomfortable asking him, then want me to go and ask him for you?
But actually... how's that even going to change anything?
It's not like you two can be together.
But I'm still curious.
No, never mind.
Yoon Se Na.
We should have her sign an exclusive contract with us.
I'm thinking the same thing.
Se Na, you should demand a huge contract signing fee.
If they won't give it to you, then don't sign it.
Why don't you let me hear what your demands will be?
I'm sorry, but I think this is going to be my last project here.
Why?
Yoon Se Na.
Can we talk?
Have a seat.
I thought you and Shi Woo were working well together.
Even though there was that minor slump, you were still able to overcome it.
I think it may be a great idea for you to keep working with Shi Woo.
I'm no longer sure of what kind of a man you are.
At the very least, I thought that you had really loved my sister.
I believed that was the reason you helped me.
But...
I don't really know anymore.
What happened between you and my sister?
Just what in the world happened that you didn't even come to her funeral?
He said that if it hadn't been for you...
then my sister may not have died.
Should I believe what I heard?
Yes, it's true.
If my sister went through a lot of suffering because of you...
then I don't think I can handle seeing your face anymore.
But I'm still going to finish this project before I leave.
I want to keep my promise to Shi Woo.
Ugh, I feel bad for her.
What was it that you were saying earlier?
She's probably going through a lot because of Lee Hyun Wook.
To know that he dated her sister first... that must've been so shocking to find out.
- What did President Wook say? - Huh?
He said he liked it. The rest is up to you now.
Even though I've always done well, you want me to do even better this time?
That's right.
Your cockiness is oddly reassuring right now.
If I land at the top of the charts, then I'm going to give you a big surprise.
Then you have to grant me a wish in return.
If you won't give me your answer, then I may not come in at top.
Will you still be okay with that?
Okay, fine.
Sing it with confidence and with your utmost sincerity.
No need to tell me that. I'm always sincere about my feelings.
Okay, we'll start the recording.
[Landing at number one on the music charts.]
Who do you think will come in at the number one spot for this week?
By the votes from the studio audience and online voting polls
this week's number one spot goes to...
Shi Woo's 'I Miss You'!
Thank you!
This is so great.
I feel like taking a deep sigh of relief.
I think this will be enough to avert the danger the company's in.
I'm sure he'll really start to take off if he keeps his place on top of the charts.
We'll probably get a good response from China. Schedule his concert tour.
And think about what kinds of merchandise we can come up with for Shi Woo.
He'll be a big hit!
He's solidified his status as a solo artist, so we should keep up the momentum.
We'll announce his career as a solo artist, and schedule concerts for him.
Why don't we also sign Yoon Se Na on as an official composer for our company?
They seem to produce great results whenever they work together.
I don't think that's going to be possible. This was her last project with us.
Why? Is there a problem?
But she's doing such great work. Are other agencies after her?
No, it's for personal reasons.
But... who in here doesn't have personal issues of their own?
Shi Woo's going to be very disappointed when he finds out about this.
Is Shi Woo aware of this yet?
Shi Woo! Congratulations.
- Where's Yoon Se Na? - She's in the waiting room.
Give me what I gave you earlier.
Manager Kim!
Shi Woo... Congratulations on winning the number one spot.
With words only?
- For you. - I can't accept that.
It's the first trophy you've won since debuting as a solo artist.
Who cares? I'm sure I'll win another one next week.
Thanks.
Do you remember me saying that I'd give you a big surprise if I won first place?
Yeah, but isn't this it?
No, it's not.
Let's work together.
Release a single by the end of the year, and release a full album next year.
And we'll continue to keep the split.
- I'm sorry. - For what?
I was going to tell you some other time, but I guess I should just tell you now.
I don't think I can continue to work with you.
I've already told the agency that this was my last project.
Why?
I've decided not to work with ANA anymore.
Is it because of President Wook?
You can't handle seeing his face... so you've decided not to see mine either?
Of course we can still see each other.
Even if we won't be working together, we can still hang out once in a while.
Once in a while?
I guess seeing me once in a while is enough for you?
I really am grateful for everything you've done for me.
I came in at first place because of you, and I even got this nice trophy.
Yoon Se Na.
Shi Woo, the producer's looking for you to discuss next week's broadcast.
Come on.
I guess you'll be getting quite busy. You should go.
I'm going to stop...
having these feelings for you.
Then I guess it'll be a one-sided love for me.
Because it doesn't matter anymore.
Because I'm in love with Yoon Se Na.
We just heard Shi Woo's 'I Miss You'
which has been topping all of the popular musical charts lately.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on topping all the charts.
Thank you.
To be honest, I was really shocked when I heard your new song.
But the more I see of you, the more enthralled I become.
I had no idea that you had this side to you.
I didn't know it either at first.
Not until someone recognized it in me.
Wow, I don't know who that person is, but I'm grateful to them.
Thanks to that person, we're able to see this new charming side of you.
Yes.
You're being touted as every woman's ideal type lately.
Which makes me curious to know what your ideal type of woman would be.
What type of woman would it be?
I'm not sure.
A woman...
who can sing well, knows how to play the keyboard...
with a vibrant personality.
A woman who's not easily intimidated.
Hey, doesn't it sound like Shi Woo is talking about you right now?
A woman who looks pretty whether her hair is pulled up or left loose.
That's the type of woman I like.
That was a very detailed description.
By any chance... is it someone whom you already like?
I like her... but I don't think she feels the same way.
We just heard Shi Woo's shocking revelation.
We'll take a quick commercial break.
President Wook!
Did you listen to the radio show?
Shi Woo just confessed that he likes someone.
I think it's Yoon Se Na.
What are we going to do?
I think Yoon Se Na's identity has been compromised.
Ugh, that scoundrel.
Yes, President Wook.
We're on our way back right now.
Yes.
Why did you do that?
Everyone was in such good spirits yesterday
and you just dumped a bucket of ice water on them.
Why would you start a scandal at a time like this?
He says Yoon Se Na's identity has been revealed already.
I bet the reporters are camped out in front of the place already.
Ugh, what are we going to do?
I'm going to be in so much trouble when we get back to the office.
[Yoon Se Na]
Why did you do it?
Did you have to say that on a live radio show?
Sorry.
I didn't know things would blow up like this.
This is a crucial time for you, and you've worked so hard to get here.
Your song was getting such a positive response.
Why did you have to say that now?
Why do you think?
Don't you know that I like you?
'I Miss You.'
You wrote that song while thinking of President Wook, didn't you?
Did you ever think about how it would make me feel every time I'd sing that song?
I didn't like seeing you hurting because of someone else.
When I have all these feelings for you...
I didn't like having you thinking of someone else.
I didn't say it with any expectations from you.
That's just how I felt... so I only spoke the truth.
But I had no idea that things would escalate like this.
For the first time in my life...
I regret being a celebrity.
But I still don't regret what I shared on the radio show.
Because I was speaking from my heart.
Are you okay?
Let's go.
You scoundrel!
Just what were you thinking?
How could you have dropped a bomb like that?
How are you going to handle the consequences?
And what's with the picture?
You do that after dropping the bomb that could ruin everything?
The company was in an uproar because of you!
How are we even going to handle this?
We have to release some sort of a statement.
Okay, how about we deny any sort of relationship between them
and we can take care of the rest after that?
That would've been fine if it had just been the picture
but he also made that announcement on the radio.
Then what are you saying we can do?
It was all true, so there's nothing.
I was being sincere about my feelings for Yoon Se Na.
Even though I can say that we're not dating
I can't say that I don't have feelings for her.
Just think of a way we can stop Yoon Se Na from getting hurt by this.
I beg of you.
- Shi Woo! - That's enough.
It's already water under the bridge, so there's nothing we can do about it.
How did this happen? When did you start seeing Shi Woo?
Nothing's happened. We're close, but not like that.
Things just got blown out of proportion.
It's already over between you and the handsome dog owner
so maybe this is actually for the best?
She really is lucky when it comes to men.
President of a company in one hand, and a music idol in the other.
It's like winning two jackpots at once.
Hong.
Don't be too jealous of her, okay?
Because I'm going to make it as a successful CEO myself soon.
How?
I'm going to open up a shopping mall.
Look at this.
This site is really hot these days.
Don't you think building a site like this will really hit it big?
Shi Woo's CD is out already.
Really?
That's awesome. Buy the CD.
If I order this right now, then it's money in Se Na's pocket, right?
Want to grab a drink? I need to talk to you about something.
Response to Shi Woo's bomb isn't bad.
I think they see him as a sensitive man.
But if he's the only one feeling this way without the girl returning his feelings
then he may come across looking hasty.
So this is how we've decided to handle it.
We'll ask the fans to look kindly upon him since he and Yoon Se Na are just starting out
and once things quiet down a little, we'll announce things didn't work out.
I think that's the only way to lessen any damage done to Shi Woo's image.
I'm telling you this because I felt that you should know.
Making an announcement of their 'breakup' is not up to us.
Who knows what'll happen by then?
Shi Woo was being sincere about his feelings.
What about your feelings?
Will you be okay if Shi Woo and Se Na really do end up together?
This may actually be for the best.
Are you sure you'd rather not hold onto her?
Even if I did, there's nothing I can do about it.
I don't have the right to do that.
Because I'm a pathetic bastard.
Have a seat.
I'll start off by telling you where the company stands on this.
We can't disregard Shi Woo's image.
We're going to announce that you and Shi Woo are carefully seeing where this goes
and we're going to announce that things just didn't work out in about a month.
I would like... for you to concede on this matter.
It means backtracking now in the midst of this scandal won't be good for him.
What are your thoughts on it?
Do you want me to follow along with what the company has decided to do?
I think that the two of you are very well suited for each other.
If Shi Woo really is being sincere, and you're not against the idea
then there's really no need for you to refuse it either.
I understand.
I'll just be going now.
There's Se Na!
Can you give us a statement?
Is it true that the two of you are dating?
Please remove the cameras from her face.
I'm President Lee Hyun Wook of ANA Agency.
An official statement will soon be released from our agency regarding this event.
Although I understand your interest
in the matter regarding Shi Woo's recent statement on the radio show
the woman standing here isn't a celebrity, but a songwriter.
You need to respect her privacy.
If you publish any articles with the pictures you just took of her
then you will have to take responsibility for the legal measures we'll be taking.
Our company will be taking full legal measures for this matter. Thank you.
Are you okay?
Yes, thank you.
Come with me.
You won't be able to get home on your own.
I'll be going then.
Be careful when leaving the house for a while.
Okay.
Be careful driving home.
Yoon Se Na.
Will you be able to handle Shi Woo?
If you think it's going to be too difficult, then you can say that you want to quit.
No, I'm fine.
I'll do as you asked earlier.
Okay, I got it.
Did you get called into ANA? Did you see the handsome dog owner?
What did he say? Have you decided to date Shi Woo for real?
Hong.
I think I'm going to have to move.
If I don't... then I don't think I'll ever be able to get over him.
Hey!
You landed the top spot on Inkigayo, and you're now even dating Shi Woo
so don't you think that you should treat us to a night out?
What's with this dour atmosphere?
The company's decided to release a statement that you two are dating.
Your schedule is being cancelled for tomorrow until they release the statement
and it will resume after that.
You'll also have to hold a few interviews. But get some rest for now.
Where are you going?
I heard they're releasing a statement tomorrow...
that we're in a relationship.
Yeah.
But here we are... looking at each other like this.
- Do you hate me? - No, I don't.
I've thought about it... and I haven't been very nice either.
I've been selfish and thought only of myself.
But I want to make sure to tell you this.
I really liked working with you, and I thought we really understood each other.
And no matter how it happened
I was only able to compose 'I Miss You' because of you.
I don't want it to hurt you anymore when you sing it from now on.
If I accept your apology, then will you forgive me, too?
Okay.
I was going to give this to you when I won first place
but I never got to do that, so I'm giving it to you now.
Shi Woo.
You can give me your answer in a month's time.
We still have a whole month ahead of us.
I want you to give me a chance.
You can wait to make your decision then.
Whether it will be news of our breakup... or news of something else.
When did this happen between Yoon Se Na and Shi Woo?
I pretty much knew that Shi Woo liked Se Na...
but I didn't know that Se Na also liked him.
What if... Se Na was just mad at you, and she only started dating Shi Woo
to rub it in your face?
Even if that were the case, that would be their issue, not ours.
Do you really...
You really wouldn't care if they actually did end up together?
Is that why you asked me about Shi Woo the other night?
If they're well suited and good together... then I can support that.
Don't try fooling yourself.
You think I don't know how much you're hurting on the inside right now?
Even if it hurts, there's nothing I can do about it.
I never had the right to like her from the first place.
Not after what I did to So Eun.
How was that your fault?
There was a misunderstanding, and an accident. That was it.
I was the one who caused the misunderstanding...
and I was also the one who caused the accident.
Since I've already decided to let her go... it's only right that I become the bastard.
You haven't told Yoon Se Na that yet, have you?
Hey, are you really going to move out?
Even though this room's small... it's actually quite cozy, isn't it?
Of course. Compared to where I used to live, this room is like a palace.
So you really are moving out.
Yeah, I got paid for composing the song.
Even though it's a pretty small amount, I still think I should move out.
Don't you think that you're being too selfish?
You've been freeloading off of us without chipping in for any of the expenses
and now that you're starting to make money, you're just going to leave?
I promise to pay you back for my share of the expenses.
Why are you insisting on making things so difficult for yourself?
I'm sure Shi Woo has lots of money, so why not borrow some from him?
- Hey! - Whatever.
But you really are moving out, right?
- You're not going to move back in, right? - No.
Hello?
Thanks for coming.
You must've been surprised by me calling out of the blue.
It happens all the time lately, so I'm used to it now.
Okay.
I saw the news about you and Shi Woo.
To be honest, I was quite surprised by it.
Because I thought you liked Hyun Wook.
I've mentioned that Hyun Wook and I are old friends, haven't I?
Yes.
Then by any chance... did you know my sister too?
Yeah.
I know about So Eun and Hyun Wook's relationship...
and I also know about the relationship between you and Hyun Wook.
To be honest, I really want...
the two of you to work out.
Then I'm sure you're also well aware of how that's not possible.
I wasn't going to say anything...
but I think I need to clear up your misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding?
The fact that Hyun Wook betrayed my sister?
And that's why he didn't even come to the funeral?
So... you actually believed all that?
There was a rumor that Hyun Wook had a fling with a new upcoming singer.
But that wasn't true.
Hyun Wook would never do that either.
Your sister's funeral?
He couldn't go in.
Your mother wouldn't allow him to go in there.
Hyun Wook met my mother?
Yeah. I went with him to the funeral.
But your mother wouldn't allow him to go in and see So Eun.
They were both in the accident
but her daughter died while her boyfriend lived.
Your mother just couldn't accept that.
She knew that it wasn't Hyun Wook's fault, and she also knew she wasn't being fair...
but your mother told Hyun Wook that she still didn't want to forgive him.
Because doing so meant there was no one to blame for So Eun's death.
When Hyun Wook was told that, he had no other choice but to leave.
I was well aware of his pain, so that's why I haven't said anything.
But I don't think I can keep silent anymore because I feel so bad for both of you.
Do you think it's finally possible to move on from the pain of the past?
Dal Bong.
Dal Bong, what's wrong with you lately?
Why do you keep causing so much trouble?
Dal Bong.
Let go.
I don't want to yell at you because I know that you're hurting.
But I'm struggling too, so let's not be like this.
Dal Bong.
What is it? Do you want to go out and get some fresh air?
Okay.
Then just out to the front lawn, okay?
Dal Bong.
Dal Bong!
Dal Bong.
What are you doing here? Did you come by yourself?
Dal Bong, what's wrong?
Dal Bong.
Dal Bong!
What happened?
Dal Bong came to my house a little bit ago
and I brought him here because he looked like he was about to collapse.
His condition is apparently very bad.
The scarf that Dal Bong used to wear when he was a puppy...
I was the one who knitted that.
My sister really liked Dal Bong too, didn't she?
Yeah.
So that's why Dal Bong liked me from the start.
He's stable for now.
I think it would be best for you to take him home.
Rather than to spend his last moments in a hospital
it would be better that he stayed somewhere he's more comfortable.
Don't go home.
This could be Dal Bong's last night.
Let's take him to the ocean.
It was So Eun who brought that rascal home.
Because no matter what we did... Dal Bong was always with us.
Even when I was hurting to a point where I wished I was dead...
that rascal always remained by my side.
Why didn't you tell me?
You did you let me misunderstand you?
Because it was my fault.
Because ultimately...
I was the reason for So Eun's death.
Do you want me to hate you?
After So Eun died...
I really went through a tough time.
I couldn't play the piano anymore... and I couldn't compose anymore either.
I couldn't even listen to any music either.
Because I thought I was getting the punishment that I deserved.
When I first met you...
it's possible that I was hoping to load off some of my guilt.
Not to help you out, but for my own sake.
So it's only right... to have you hate me now.
That must be so easy.
To turn yourself into a martyr and cut yourself off from everyone.
What are you going to do now if you don't even have Dal Bong anymore?
I'm back.
Dal Bong's friend, Dal Bok.
Dal Bong says he has a final message that he'd like to relay to you.
Dal Bong is so happy right now because he's reunited with my sister
but it worries him because you keep blaming yourself and think you're a bad man.
He says he can't even have fun playing with my sister because of you doing that.
Dal Bong says he wants you to let go of him and my sister.
He says you've suffered enough.
And he says he wants you to be happy.
Because it wasn't your fault.
Don't shed anymore tears.
I've missed you so much.
I've missed you to the point where I thought I'd go crazy.
I don't know what it is that I should do.
