Hi, Genie.

Aren't you the class president?

Gosh. This is quite fascinating.

Right?

What was his name again?

I just know that he's the top student and the class president.

I have thousands of questions to ask you.

How about you?

Is there anything you'd like to ask me?

Fake glasses...

Layered clothes...

You're the type who'd lie low...

and pretend not to care about others.

You and I are the same type.

We hide our true selves.

Shadow Beauty

Episode 4: The Price of a Secret

How did you know it was me?

Because you made foolish mistakes.

A month ago on this same day,

you posted a photo of yourself in your school uniform.

But immediately after,

you must've realized that they could trace your school.

So you deleted that photo.

Delete Post?

In that nick of time, the other bloggers...

screenshotted the photo and posted it.

And that photo...

went completely viral even though you had erased it.

That's when it piqued my curiosity.

"This girl doesn't go to our school."

"Who lent her our school uniform?" This is what I thought.

"If that's not it, someone must be pretending..."

"to be her."

Since the collar design was recently changed,

she probably didn't graduate yet.

I narrowed down the candidates who could've edited...

their body to look like Genie's...

and all the pretty girls...

in each class.

Bae Ju Young, tenth grade.

But she was excluded since she was...

a computer illiterate.

Go He Mi, 12th grade, was known for her photo-editing skills.

But she was excluded since her makeup style was too weird.

Yang Ha Neul, who had distinct features...

and was good at makeup,

was the strongest candidate.

On top of that, she often used...

the sponsored items...

that Genie would post online.

But later on,

I found out that she had received all of them from a sole person.

It was you. Gu Ae Jin.

But I wasn't immediately convinced that it was you.

I'm not trying to belittle you. It just didn't make any sense.

But thankfully,

you made another mistake.

I had to take all of your phones to the teacher on the exam day.

But one phone was extremely noisy.

It turned out, they were social media notifications.

Who would get that many notifications...

other than Genie?

"Could this be Genie's phone?"

That thought crossed my mind.

Why?

Because that morning,

she had posted a photo.

Take your phones.

Then I kept an eye out...

for the owner of that phone.

It was you once again. Gu Ae Jin.

What a scary scumbag.

But of course,

that wasn't enough to thoroughly convince me.

Because you see,

I'm very meticulous.

But that photo you had posted that morning...

helped me connect you with Genie.

Then why have you remained silent all this time...

and only mentioned it recently?

That's it. That's a wonderful question.

It was because I had no proof.

I knew coincidences and personal beliefs...

weren't enough to make you confess.

You darn Sherlock wannabe.

I didn't know what to do.

And that's when you came to me.

You came to my favorite cafe.

Darn it!

You caught me.

Who else knows about this?

Why?

Are you going to kill me?

What?

I'm just kidding.

The killer always kills them after asking...

that question in horror movies.

No one else knows.

And I'm not planning to tell anyone either.

What do you want from me?

What can you do for me?

I doubt it's money.

And you have higher grades than I do.

If you want me...

to kneel and beg, I'll do that.

Ae Jin.

I want to keep this secret...

to myself and enjoy it.

I only have one wish.

I want to see your true self.

I just want you to answer my questions honestly.

He is a crazy psycho.

My girlfriend is on her way here.

So what?

Yang Ha Neul. She's my girlfriend.

And her social media account...

is 1ambsky.

Your best friend.

To be exact, she's Genie's best friend.

How will she react...

when she finds out that you're actually Genie?

That her idol...

is actually Gu Ae Jin,

a loser who came to this school not too long ago?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

Yang Ha Neul.

I should send a photo to Genie.

This is for you.

Tell me.

Since when did you guys become so close?

And why are you lying to her?

You have a great fashion sense.

I love this headscarf.

I'm on my way to my boyfriend's.

About a year ago,

I had made Genie's account for the first time.

I have no one to give them to.

I'm giving these out for free.

Write an acrostic poem for "Genie."

"Ge." You're the prettiest girl...

"Nie." In the whole wide world.

Right. I wish I was a genie too.

"Ge." I wish that...

"Nie." We could switch places...

right now.

1ambsky: Hey, Genie.

Hey, Genie. Thank you for the cream and star earrings.

I hope you like them!

No way. I can't believe we're the same age.

This is so fascinating.

How about we become friends?

Friends?

Sure. Let's be friends.

Really?

Call me 1ambsky. My real name is Yang Ha Neul.

Is Genie your real name?

My real name is...

Gu Hee Jin.

Hee Jin? What a pretty name.

I hate my dad the most.

I don't even remember the last time we talked.

All the kids at school think my family is wealthy.

Hey, I've never told this to anyone before.

I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

What? Not at all.

I actually don't like my mom either.

No way. Seriously?

Ha Neul,

I've never told this to anyone before either.

What? Why is the door open?

Ho In, I'm here.

Ho In.

Where is he?

Oh, she must've arrived.

To be frank, I wanted you guys to meet...

and reconcile.

Aren't reconciliations for people who have fought?

We never fought.

She just doesn't like me.

If you get to know her better, she's actually not that bad.

Hey. If anything, I know her better than you do.

See you next time.

I still have many questions to ask you.

I'm on a date with my boyfriend.

What are you doing?

Are you looking at the night sky right now?

Or is that what you wish for?

I wish I could join you.

I'll be waiting for that day.

Here's my gift.

Two beautiful girls. Don't you think so?

Good afternoon.

It's so pretty. It's so nice.

But it's empty.

This cafe will open tomorrow.

The owner is my friend, so I asked for a favor.

You'll be able to take all the photos you want here...

comfortably.

You're not going to do live streaming...

or expose me online, are you?

Of course not.

Why would I let others in on such a spectacle?

It'd be a waste.

Focus, Ae Jin. Don't let your guard down.

If this place...

opens tomorrow, there won't be any workers here today.

Of course not. Your secret is safe.

That means we won't have any coffee.

You're right.

I'll buy some at the convenience store.

Hold on. Leave your glasses here.

My glasses? Why?

I've always wanted to try them on.

I know they're just for style.

Sure, then.

They attach tiny cameras to these things nowadays.

What are you doing?

How did you come back so quickly?

I just wanted to ask if you'd like a latte or an iced Americano.

I can't believe you.

I just wanted to make sure.

What are you doing, you lunatic?

You perverted Sherlock!

Look closely.

This is the real me.

I'm showing you my scar to tell you...

that I'm not your enemy.

But don't fall for me either.

What are you doing? Erase that.

I should have something to my advantage too.

Now, you won't be able to expose me that easily.

Now, we're even.

This is extremely upsetting,

but fine.

All right. Now, show me.

Transform yourself into Genie.

Yang SKY

I'm done.

I'm done. Now, I just need to take photos.

I'll take them for you.

- Stand over there. - You're going to take them?

Of course.

Friends usually take photos of each other when they visit a cafe.

People suspect you for having no friends...

since you only post selfies.

Fine, then. You can take them.

Press that button.

Gosh.

Hey, why do you look so down?

Do you need to pee?

No one has ever taken photos of me before.

I feel awkward.

Fine. Do what you normally do.

I think I'm done.

Okay.

The wig and the makeup are enough to make you look like Genie.

Are you dissing me?

I'm serious.

I think it's because you're not that ugly to begin with.

Hey! That could've been dangerous!

Sorry.

- Done. - Now, are you going to post it?

- No. - Why not?

You said the cafe will open tomorrow.

I should upload it a week from today to be safe.

Gosh.

You're very meticulous.

Do you want to have dinner?

The person you have reached is unavailable.

- What? - Please try calling again later.

Again.

- The person you have reached... - Come on.

Why aren't you picking up?

To be honest, I had a blast today.

Kim Ho In, you Sherlock wannabe.

You're nicer than I thought.

Genie, do you think my boyfriend will like me more...

if I become prettier?

Had my mom been as pretty as she was in the past,

my dad wouldn't have left her.

Is something wrong?

Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

We all get a bit sentimental every now and then.

And that's me today.

And that's me today.

Hello.

Didn't you like my photo a few days ago?

I couldn't believe it.

Do you know Genie?

She liked a photo on my Wingstagram.

What is this? Why is he talking this way?

Why would he mention that now?

Right. I did.

Was it a mistake?

Yes.

Are you uncomfortable talking with me right now?

I'd like to get to know you better.

Jin Sung, why are you being such a loser?

What's the matter with you?

Why?

Well...

You're beautiful and...

I don't know why.

What are you doing?

I'm drinking milk tea.

No way! Me too!

I'm drinking milk tea as well. We synced.

By the way, you're truly gorgeous.

You're good-looking too.

Why, thank you!

Gosh, that was a mistake!

No way. Unbelievable. My heart's pounding.

No way. Unbelievable. My heart's pounding.

Do you want...

to try something raunchy?

Do you want to try something raunchy?

Shadow Beauty

It may be something else.

Brace yourself.

Ha Neul, what should I do if my crush...

turns out to be different than what I expected?

If you don't have the courage to ask him,

then keep it to yourself.

Is that possible?

What can you do?

The one with bigger feelings is not in control.

If you keep acting this way,

I can't help but expect more from you.
