I'm not a typical fairy.

Summer always follows me and obeys my commands.

And I love you.

So come with me and...

My dad was a typical office worker.

He fell in love at first sight after watching my mom's play...

and asked her out immediately after.

The two got married...

- after a year and six months. - Kiss.

- Kiss. - Kiss.

Then they had me.

My dad quit his job and started his own business.

However, they were cash-strapped.

That's when my mom started working at a restaurant to make ends meet.

For 10 years, 3 of his businesses fell through.

Whether it was fortunate or not,

my mom took over the restaurant because the owner was ill.

Ha Neul.

I promise to succeed...

and buy you anything and everything you want.

Okay.

It wasn't a lie.

He hit the jackpot with his fourth business.

And she had to go to the hospital due to overworking and stress.

Mom...

This was the price she had to pay for his success.

The woman he was with was absolutely stunning.

"Only the beautiful ones are loved."

"If not, they'll be abandoned."

At the age of 18,

I learned this firsthand.

I have see-through bangs, but I want more layers.

What about the length?

I don't need to cut any.

Sir, you have a call.

One minute.

Sae Hee, I bet you'll look gorgeous with short hair.

What? With short hair?

I grew my hair out for the past three years.

Did you know?

You and Emma Watson share very similar vibes.

What? Me and Emma...

Emma Watson?

Did you not know that?

You have a small face, a long neck,

and alluring eyes.

I'm so jealous.

You do know everyone loved her short hair, right?

I wasn't going to tell you since I was too jealous.

Then should I try cutting my hair?

No. Don't do that. I'm going to die of jealousy.

Don't, okay?

All right. What should we do?

I want short hair. You do know Emma Watson, right?

Emma Watson?

That'll be a challenge.

But let's give it a try.

How do you like it?

I'm so frustrated!

Hey. What is this?

I knew this would happen.

I just knew it. It's perfect. You're so gorgeous.

You better treat me to some tteokbokki today.

Look at how small your face is.

Hey, you better keep your distance from me when walking.

I can kind of see Emma Watson.

Your hairstyle is ridiculous.

My gosh. Did you go to a barbershop?

Don't tell me you paid for that.

Shut it.

Hey. Don't tease her.

She wanted to look like Emma Watson.

- Emma Watson? - Emma?

I thought Sae Hee was her boyfriend.

Hey. That's enough.

You're not elementary school kids.

Just tell the truth and say that she's pretty.

Don't tease her.

- But she's not pretty. - Exactly.

I would've said so if she was.

Ever since Sun Mi Jin came,

everything changed.

- What? - A new beauty queen took over.

And Ha Neul had...

Bestie, what are you up to?

It's break time for me.

Shadow Beauty Episode 8: Not a Lie

Bestie.

Are you sleeping?

Not yet.

I can't seem to sleep.

Is it because of the bread wrapper?

Why not?

After the fake came, things have changed.

Everyone has been acting obsequiously toward her.

I wanted to tell them that Genie was my best friend.

Ha Neul, thank you for keeping my secret safe.

Bestie, you're the only friend I need.

You're the only one who knows everything about me.

You're truly my bestie, right?

Yes.

Then can you promise that you'll never lie to me?

Yes.

You startled me.

Don't do anything that'll make you feel guilty.

I told you not to come here ever again.

Hey, you sound like...

your dad is someone powerful at this school or something.

- I said, get lost! - Hey.

I almost fell.

- That was my intention. - Then you should fall too.

Stop it. It hurts!

You wanted to talk? What is it?

Do you know...

Genie?

- Genie? - Yes.

The Genie from "Aladdin"?

What was that?

You didn't laugh at my joke. That was embarrassing.

- Do you know her? - I don't.

Then since when were you close with Gu Ae Jin?

We're not close.

I saw you two on the rooftop...

Yang Ha Neul. Don't you know you're the reason for all this?

I'm the class president.

Our teacher told me to make sure you stopped bullying her.

In his shoes,

it'd be a headache if Ae Jin filed a report on school violence.

He wanted me to comfort her.

Happy?

You should go.

Photoshop

This is how you transform your face.

Technology is incredible. She already looks different.

Why are you still not sleeping?

Go to bed.

Could Gu Ae Jin...

Gu Ae Jin is Genie?

A silver one would be pretty too!

Isn't that a new item from Pink Moon? No way.

The dolphin is smiling.

I want to try it on.

Bestie, did Baek Seol bully you today as well?

It's a long story, but I'm not going to talk about it.

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

The mirror is disgusted.

Was Baek Seol me?

No way. It couldn't have been me.

That's impossible.

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.

Bestie,

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.

She always lies to me.

No way. Seriously?

Ha Neul, I've never told this to anyone before either.

Bestie, we have so much in common.

Why would Genie lie to me?

I'm curious about what hurts you,

what you find funny,

what your favorite food is,

what your favorite color is,

what time you sleep and wake up...

I want to know everything about you.

Isn't this proof that we're becoming closer?

Ha Neul, I'm really touched.

But I'm Genie's best friend.

Don't tell me everything was a lie.

Darn it.

Then what about that bread wrapper?

Ha Neul is suspecting me. What should I do?

She asked me if I knew Genie.

She asked you? About Genie?

Yes.

Then she asked how we got close.

So what did you say?

I told her that the teacher...

wanted me to take care of you since you were bullied.

How was she able...

to link you, me, and Genie together?

I zoned out all by myself today and borrowed the cafe's rooftop area.

Sherlock

The rooftop cafe.

She must think...

you're seeing Genie behind her back.

But what about me?

How was she able to link me to Genie?

Probably a similar way to how I found out.

She had the same items...

that Genie had.

And she had taken all of them from you.

This is like ABC.

Do you really think that was how?

Even a Sherlock like you couldn't find out that easily.

It's still a possibility.

You and Ha Neul had been in touch for almost a year now.

No. It still doesn't make any sense.

I hid myself thoroughly and meticulously.

How about you just tell her the truth?

No.

Never.

After all this time, how could I possibly tell her that?

Then how long will you deceive her?

What would you like?

Excuse me.

Was this taken here?

Yes. That's our cafe.

She's Genie, an influencer.

Was she here before?

I'm not sure.

I'd remember a pretty girl like her,

but I'm drawing a blank.

I see.

What? Hold on.

That's not our cup.

Then could it be that friend who came with Ho In before we opened?

Do you mean Kim Ho In?

Do you know Ho In?

Sherlock

Hello?

Ha Neul visited the cafe.

What?

My friend just called.

She had shown him a photo of Genie...

and asked if she had visited the cafe.

She's trying to find out who Genie is.

And in the end, she'll realize that it's you.

What should I do?

She needs to meet Genie.

Hey, friend. You shouldn't be in the way like that.

Cho Sae Hee.

I'm sorry. It must've been hard to see with those fake bangs of yours.

I was being inconsiderate.

Hey. You're being too mean.

Apologize to her.

Should I?

I'm so sorry, my friend.

Let's go.

No way. Did she just blatantly play hooky?

I know. What was she thinking?

Hey.

I've tracked down Ha Neul.

Yang SKY, 38-3 Taejin-dong, Seoul

How did you do this?

They don't call me Sherlock for no reason.

Yang SKY, 38-3 Taejin-dong, Seoul

"Taejin-dong"?

Why did she go there?

Sooin Girls' High School.

That was my former school.

We won't get caught leaving school early, will we?

- Of course, we will. - Then why...

Excuse me. Do you guys go to Sooin Girls' High?

- Yes. - Yes.

Then do you know if Genie goes to your school?

- Genie? - Genie?

- That Genie? - The famous Genie?

I don't think she does.

- Why would she be here? Of course not. - Of course not.

I think she's mistaken.

If she was here, we would've known.

- I think she's mistaken. - She's awfully mistaken.

Let's just eat.

Hi, Ha Neul.

Hi.

I'm sorry for the late reply.

I haven't been feeling well these days.

How are you feeling now?

I'm still recovering.

I can't believe I finally got to see you.

Bestie, you know how much I wanted to see you, right?

What about school?

Due to health issues, I've just been resting at home. And you?

Me? I'm playing hooky.

What? You're playing hooky?

Hey, don't move your phone around.

Hee Jin, to be frank,

I was...

What is it?

Never mind.

What? What is it?

Mr. Shin Jae Ho

Genie!

The video call has ended.

Mr. Shin Jae Ho

- I'm so full. - Me too.

Excuse me, but does Genie go to Sooin Girls' High School?

Didn't she ask us the same question a while ago?

Are you talking about Genie, the social media star?

- Yes. - Don't be ridiculous.

- Why would she be here? - I'd like to meet her in person too.

Me too. I wish I could see her.

Then...

Do you recognize her?

Hey, isn't she that ugly girl?

It's obvious. Gu Ae Jin.

- She switched schools. - Did she?

No way. I had no idea.

By the way, why are you looking for her?

Did she do something wrong?

Mom

The video call has ended.

Shadow Beauty

Are you Genie? Answer me.

Ha Neul.

No way!

Ae Jin lost her round necklace!

Who do you think stole it?

I think it's you, wench.

Ha Neul, was it you?

Move!

I deserve to hate her.

However, it's my choice...

to hate or forgive her.

Mi Jin.
