My Bom-bom.

Mom?

What the hell are you doing?

Don't be a drunk piece of trash.

Pull yourself together.

What the hell?

Stop pretending to be asleep. Wake up.

Bom, are you all right?

What?

- What do you mean? - Why didn't you push him off?

He was all over you.

Weren't you bothered?

He's drunk.

And that gives him a pass?

And this prick has to be heavy too.

Are you even asleep?

You're faking it, right?

You still won't wake up?

Hey!

Bom-bom.

Why are you so late?

I've been waiting for ages.

He sounded like Mom.

"Bom-bom."

"Bom-bom…"

What the hell?

Thirty-seven. Thirty-eight. Thirty-nine.

Forty!

You were grinding your teeth badly last night.

Don't you know manners make the man?

"Manners maketh

man."

Start sleeping with tape over your lips tonight.

Are you kidding me?

The alcohol on your breath is giving me a headache.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

Come down for breakfast.

No food after 7 a.m.

SAGYE, good morning.

Good morning.

What? Bean sprouts soup? I wanted seaweed soup.

Who's hungover? Is it you, Bom?

It's not me.

Why did you drink so much?

It's a miracle you got home.

SAGYE, did you drink last night?

With whom? You should've called me. I can hang.

Did you drink enough to get wasted?

- What's your drinking habit? - Latching on to people, right?

Me? I doubt it.

I had a few shots and came home to sleep it off.

Well done.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

Just so you know, bean sprouts soup won't do it for me.

For future reference,

please blend organic tomatoes with two and a half spoons of allulose.

Okay.

Pay for it, and all shall be yours.

Just so you know, bean sprouts soup will cost an extra 10,000 won.

That's brutal.

Ten thousand for a meatless soup?

It'll be 20,000 won with meat.

With tofu, it'll be 15,000 won.

I'm not being stingy. That's inflation for you.

Bom, you made the soup, so make sure to collect the money.

- Did Bom cook? - Yes.

That's new. Breakfast is usually Mom's thing.

No wonder it was seasoned perfectly.

Thanks, Bom.

Why am I getting chills?

You remember everything, don't you?

My Bom-bom.

Stop thinking about it, Bom.

You don't have time for this.

Stop following me around, will you?

All this because I got drunk?

Don't take advantage of Bom again.

She may be one of the many women you can fool around with,

but to me,

she's more than that.

I won't let this slide again.

I was never fooling around.

You told me you liked Bom first.

But liking her first doesn't mean she's yours.

Love isn't first come, first served.

Lose the glare, will you?

You could burn things with that glare.

I have important business to tend to.

See you.

My first band ever, I hope we do wonders.

We may be starting out as a school band,

but may our future be magnificent.

Where's SAGYE?

Who knows? As if I care.

- He left earlier. - Could something be up?

Didn't he say anything?

Why worry about a grown man? Let's go.

Okay.

How can you be so cold?

How can you be so brutally heartless?

You know,

every time I think of him, my heart shatters into pieces.

He's probably never even opened a car door by himself before.

He no longer has a manager,

a car, or a stylist.

He has to walk everywhere.

No one crashes this hard and hits rock bottom overnight.

Are you kidding me?

How was that?

Not bad, right?

I'm being tested on my acting today, but I can't channel the right emotions.

What if I can't cry later on?

Method acting happens to be my forte.

I'll have to try, I guess.

I don't think I have to explain

why I came to see you.

So give it to me straight.

Why have you been lingering around me?

It was to protect you from your haters, of course.

Are you saying that's why you're following Kim Bom around?

Why does it seem like you're tailing her, not me?

Why have you been taking photos of her?

Did Mr. Jo order you to report back on her every move?

Why are you this interested in her?

Move out of that house this instant.

Drop out of school and quit the band.

Don't socialize with Kim Bom. Don't do anything.

I don't know what game you're playing,

but give up if you're trying to go against Mr. Jo.

Kim Bom will be in danger.

Because of you.

I'm telling you for old times' sake.

I could put her in danger?

Bom?

Why? For what reason?

SAGYE

Let me make this clear.

Lay a finger on Kim Bom,

and I won't sit back and watch.

We'll first study the structures of the major and minor chords.

There are three common elements.

Who'd like to tell the class what they are?

I see a face I don't recognize.

What's he doing here?

When did you get here?

Hello, Professor! I'm Sa Gye, a first-year theater and film major.

You see,

I was dying to take your course, which is why I'm here to sit in.

- You? - Yes.

My best friend recommended this course to me, you see.

It's her, Kim Bom.

Hey!

When did I ever say that?

You said sharing is caring.

As one of the artists leading the K-pop industry,

I believe it's essential to grasp applied music

and deeply reflect on its importance.

That's why I came to this lecture.

You can say all chords begin with root notes.

In the example of C major,

we can see they are C, E, and G.

The three notes all have what is known as unique frequencies.

A frequency refers to a rate

at which a vibration occurs in a given time.

For instance, 1 Hz represents a vibration rate

of one per second.

WHAT HAPPENED 6 YEARS AGO? BOM, BOM-BOM, KIM BOM

Don't ever come to my class again. That was humiliating.

I didn't fall asleep.

I was deeply lost in thought.

Whatever.

Don't tell me you'll follow me in there as well.

Where are you off to?

Go ahead.

I'll be waiting.

Don't you…

Don't you have any classes today?

You have nothing better to do?

See? There are so many people looking for me.

I'm busier than you think.

Hey, Hyeon-u. This is Gye.

Right now?

I'm afraid this isn't a good time.

Wait. Where did she go?

He shows up whenever he wants,

invading my space.

He's so annoying.

Tae-yang!

It's been six years

since I last saw that bright smile of Bom's.

The person you called is unavailable…

How dare he move out of the house?

He's even been skipping classes. What the hell is he up to?

He's lost his mind.

HOSPITAL DIRECTOR SEO MIN-CHEOL

Come in.

Hey. What brings you by, Mr. Jo?

I thought you were in the US.

I was feeling lazy, so I stayed.

You're busy, right?

No, I have about an hour to spare.

Have a seat.

I didn't know a workaholic like you could feel lazy too.

I came to talk about something.

Sure. Go ahead.

What tea would you like?

What's going on?

Tell me.

The car accident from six years ago.

I'm sure you remember it.

Please help me.

Help me.

Help.

Please help me.

Can she make it?

This is going to be a nuisance.

We're both under the influence.

Why are you bringing that up?

There's a witness.

A witness?

My fellow bandmates!

Attention, please.

TWO SAGYE has booked its first gig.

We're officially set to perform at the university festival.

We'll be taking the stage as equals to Hanju Band.

I went to draw our order,

and we'll be the first to perform.

I'm sure you know the opening act is the highlight of any concert!

I'll plan the whole thing.

- Are you good with that? - Of course.

I'll operate the sound system.

- Good. - No one handles equipment as well as I do.

My keen sense of sound will give Beethoven a run for his money.

- Beethoven was deaf. - Jin-gu!

Can you lay off on correcting me?

- I never criticize your outfit. - What's wrong with it?

So? Aren't I the bomb?

Luck is always on my side.

Isn't that how a leader should be?

Gosh, SAGYE.

Is there anything you can't do?

Finding something I'm bad at.

That's what I'm bad at.

Roopretelcham!

We should decide on our set list first. What should it be? What's our concept?

Hip-hop-rock, of course.

We'll kick off the concert with a taste of metal!

Who says we're doing hip-hop-rock?

This is a university festival, not your concert.

That's why I'm suggesting hip-hop-rock.

That will set us apart from Hanju Band.

It's also the music style I want to try.

Why do you need us if you'll only do what you want?

- The leader decides what to perform. - How are you the leader?

Who here agreed to that?

As if I need anyone's approval.

TWO SAGYE is the band I put together.

I was the leader of Hanju Band.

I've always been a leader,

and the lead guitarist spot will also be mine.

Lead guitarist is something I can't give up.

I'm a world-class guitarist.

I guess you forgot

that I beat you at your game.

I only gave in because my guitar string snapped.

I played by the rules. That doesn't mean you're better.

Can't you get that through your thick skull?

You're a knockoff SAGYE.

- What the… - Hey, stop that!

- Stop! - Damn you!

- Get back here. - You!

What?

Let go!

That's enough!

Why you… Get back here.

I said that was enough!

How are we supposed to perform like this?

We'll fill in the positions after a discussion and--

- You! - Hey, stop it.

- You're strangling me. - Stop.

- Let go! - Stop!

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I didn't want you to live a nightmare too.

Are you sure about this?

Are you sure Sa Gye witnessed the accident?

How else could he have recounted the scene like he was there?

That's not all.

He's living with the dead woman's daughter.

The dead woman's daughter?

Did she have a daughter?

You never said she had a family.

I didn't want you to have to carry that weight.

What good would it have done?

Shit.

Why was I left in the dark about so many things?

Brace yourself, it gets weirder.

Even Tae-yang is now living with that woman's daughter.

What are you talking about?

Who is Tae-yang living with?

He moved into where Sa Gye's staying.

My assistant confirmed it.

Kim Bom?

That woman who died was Kim Bom's mother?

Do you know Kim Bom?

Tae-yang has known her for quite some time,

since middle school.

Things are taking a bad turn.

Surely, it's no coincidence that they're all living together.

Even fate wouldn't be enough to explain what's happening.

The case has already been closed.

She was hit by a car that lost control in the rain.

Not if there was a witness.

Do you want there to be one?

Kim Bom might already know the truth.

The real reason why her mom died.

She would've done something if she'd known.

I'll meet with Kim Bom.

Why are you shirtless?

It's not like there's anything worth seeing.

Don't you care about others at all?

Seriously. Are you jealous?

Bulk up too if you want.

Hey! Why did you turn off the lights? I'm studying.

- Turn them back on. - Turn them on yourself.

- You stepped on me on purpose, didn't you? - Me? Well, I can't see a thing.

Hey! Stop stepping on me.

Shut up, damn it! Or take it outside!

Those childish pricks.

No.

I can't let us fail like this.

We should at least get to perform at a rock festival.

Announcement.

TWO SAGYE will go on a retreat.

When and where to gather. Today at 9 a.m. Outside the school gate.

Don't show up, and you must pay a million won.

A retreat?

Why a retreat all of a sudden?

It's not like we're on good terms right now.

That's exactly why we're going.

We'll be burying one of them.

Over here!

Seriously? No way!

We'll be going in this van?

Isn't it a van that celebrities ride in?

That's so thoughtful of you!

- Good morning. I hope I'm not late. - Hey.

Producer Jo.

Ms. Kim, how have you been?

- I heard you two were in the same band. - Right.

I am. Have you been well?

Thank you so much for lending us your van.

Thanks.

You really helped me out here.

Still, don't tell Mr. Jo about this.

Don't worry.

I can do this much without my dad's approval.

Ms. Jo, can't you come with us?

We're off to bury these two airheads

and could use an extra set of hands.

I don't have the time.

Ms. Richie Rich.

Please come with us today.

I'm a real sport at these retreats.

I'll do everything I can

to keep you entertained. Sweet, isn't it?

She's right, Ms. Richie Rich.

You can always find the time. Just do it!

- Let's go. - But…

- I can't. - Of course, you can.

Guys, you can't do that!

Ji-na's super busy!

Bom, aren't you cold?

Here.

Seriously? You did that on purpose.

Sorry.

- Here are some napkins. - Sorry.

Sorry about that. I picked the wrong song.

This is what he's like.

Whenever he listens to a song he likes,

he gets worked up and drives like a madman.

He even forgets he has other passengers.

- It's all right, SAGYE. Keep it up. - I didn't mind it.

SAGYE, what's wrong? Is there an issue with the van?

Did you hit the brakes, or did the engine die?

This isn't a stroller. Step on it.

Don't speak like that to SAGYE.

Hey, stop at the next rest area.

I need the restroom.

Sure, okay. Don't worry.

I'll have fish cakes.

- Go ahead. - Nice.

Hey, right here.

I told you to stop at the rest area.

Geez, it slipped my mind.

The next rest area is 100 km away.

Hold it in.

- Hold it. - Hold it in!

Have this instead.

- Tae-yang, you can do it. - Hold it.

- That's the spirit. - Rise above it.

- Here. - Eat!

Hey, Bom.

- Here. Let me take that. - But…

Hey, Seo Tae-yang.

Get to work.

This? I'm actually an expert at this.

Roll it up like so and--

Sure, get on it.

Bom, wait for me!

Tae-yang, can you do this?

- What? - This.

One, two…

Seo Tae-yang. Stop right there!

Why do you keep picking a fight with me?

You started it.

I've had it with your childish tricks.

You'll address me as your senior from now on.

That's too bad. I can't respect those I don't have anything to learn from.

But if that's important to you,

let me be the lead guitarist.

That's a matter of my pride.

If I get that taken away, there's no reason for me to be in a band.

Then, this talk is over.

I say this as the front man.

Immediately quit the band.

You've been irritating as hell.

That's rich coming from you.

Why are you chasing Bom around?

Don't change the subject and just admit it.

That I represent TWO SAGYE.

Enough with it already!

Damn it.

Stop that. Please don't.

- Bom! - Bom!

Darn.

Move. Emergency patient!

- Out of the way. - Emergency patient coming through.

Gye!

Bom?

Bom!

No!

Don't you dare!

Bom, have some of this.

Shouldn't she see a doctor?

I don't think that's necessary.

I'll be okay soon.

Hang in there. Gyu-ri's gone to buy some medicine. She'll be back soon.

I'm sorry, Bom. We won't argue anymore.

I'll do as you say.

You'll decide on the positions and the song we'll play.

Just don't get sick. I'll do as you wish as well.

Liars. I don't believe you.

- We're not lying. See? - It's true.

This is how guys bond.

We're now besties.

Starting today.

Do you mean it?

You could be at each other's throats again.

No way.

I swear to God.

Then, I'll decide.

- You can't complain. - Sure.

The lead guitarist will be…

Sa Gye.

Really? Are you sure?

It's not like I have to be the lead guitarist.

Instead, Tae-yang will choose the song.

Whatever song you want.

Sure. Then who's the leader of this band?

Don't speak if it hurts.

I'm fine either way.

I don't have to be the damn leader.

The leader?

That will be me.

- What? - What? You?

Yes, I'll lead the band.

I don't trust you two.

I'll have to be the one to carry TWO SAGYE.

- I'm in charge of planning anyway. - Bom!

Bom.

Bom, are you all right? I got you some medicine.

How's the coughing?

It's getting worse. Would these even work?

Really?

How did you end up in the water?

You're supposed to be a good swimmer.

Actually, Gyu-ri…

Bom can swim?

Yes, she's like a fish in the water.

She competed in a nationwide junior tournament

and even became a certified lifeguard in the US.

I told you to stop.

A certified lifeguard?

Bom, so you…

Did you fake it? You pretended to be drowning?

Were you also lying about the coughs and shivers?

That's right. I lied, okay?

That's on you two for butting heads out here.

I almost died trying to get you two to make up.

- Kim Bom. - Kim Bom!

Hey, Kim Bom!

Hey, stop right there!

TAE-YANG

The person you called is unavailable. You will be redirected to voicemail…

If Kim Bom also knows the truth,

the police will soon look into it.

- Game start - Game start

- I-Am-Ground, the game begins. - Ground. Begins.

- You're out. - What?

- What do you mean? - Come here.

- Hang on! - What could be so fun?

It's not fun at all.

- One, two, three. Loser slap! - Loser slap!

- Again. - Let's go once more.

- Sure. - I-Am-Ground, the game begins.

Tae-yang, eight.

What? Shouldn't you state your name first?

Really? Hey, you're right!

This is a new song. Why didn't she sell this too?

It's your turn.

I'm off to the van.

I'll only be ten seconds.

That's cheating. Get back here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Are you having fun?

It's here!

My heart's pounding.

There's no need to be nervous. I'm not committing a crime.

I just want to know how much he has.

If he's loaded, I'll be generously nicer to him.

Who is it?

I said, who is it?

Why is no one answering me?

Is this a prank?

You'll be sorry if I ever catch you!

Unbelievable.

- My gosh! - Goodness.

- Who are you? - Well,

I'm Tae-yang's father.

I should've come by sooner to introduce myself.

Right, Tae-yang's father.

Tae-yang's father?

Director Seo!

- Director Seo, of course. - What…

I know you so well.

You're on TV a lot.

I saw you on Great Doctors as well.

Tae-yang's not here right now, is he?

Of course, he isn't.

He's left for a band retreat yesterday.

He'll spend the night in Pyeongchang and head to school from there.

Goodness.

I see he didn't tell you.

Kids are like that these days.

They simply don't care about their parents.

May I take a look at Tae-yang's room?

- Of course. - I need to pick up his things.

Wait, whatever for? He didn't say he was moving out.

I only need his books. May I head inside for a moment?

Yes, of course.

You have a sweet and cozy home.

That's too kind.

When Bom's mother was alive, this was the best house on the block.

There were a lot of flowers in the garden as well.

Please drink your coffee.

How did Bom's mother pass away?

It was a car accident. A car lost control in the rain.

Honestly, it was the weirdest day.

I had never experienced a day like that before.

So it was an accident. How unfortunate.

Don't you remember that day?

It was six years ago.

The news went on and on about the unusual weather.

I'm not sure. It's not ringing a bell.

Of course. Others would've forgotten.

We should also move on, but…

- So that's why she lives with her aunt. - That's right.

Tae-yang first met Bom when he went to the US

to study English.

Yes, apparently so.

Bom went to the US at an early age to study music.

However, she had to give up her studies after her mother passed away.

If she hadn't, she would've already made a name for herself.

Members of the Gwangsan Kim family are known to be clever.

Right.

Goodness.

I'd love to meet Bom sometime.

Could I perhaps get her number?

Did you say 50 billion won?

Mr. Jo, are you absolutely sure?

I can't believe you're sponsoring such a fortune.

I'm so touched

that I might cry.

You can rebuild

the Science Hall, which has been a longtime dream of yours.

Absolutely.

And that building will be named after you, Mr. Jo.

I'll call it the Jo Sang-heon Hall.

Actually,

I have a favor to ask of you.

Feel free to ask me for anything.

This time around, I will get it done, no matter what.

There's a first-year student named Kim Bom studying applied music.

I'd like to grant her a full scholarship to study abroad.

A scholarship?

As if that even counts as a favor.

I want Kim Bom to fly out as soon as possible.

The sooner, the better.

Hello, Dr. Seo.

- It's been a while. How have you been? - Please sit.

I've seen you from time to time on campus

but never gotten around to buying you a meal.

Don't say that.

Please address me casually.

Why should I speak casually to someone I don't know very well?

I'm not one to be friendly with just about anyone.

I see.

I hear Tae-yang's been staying at your place.

Your aunt probably told you this,

but I brought most of his things back home.

I had no idea he moved out without your permission.

Had I known, I wouldn't have let him stay.

- I'm sorry, sir. - There's no need to apologize.

But now that you know,

I suggest you act more wisely.

May I ask why you wanted to see me?

Recently,

Tae-yang is rebelling as if he's a teenager all over again.

I didn't mind him being in a band as a premed,

but he's past that and should study.

When I told him to cut back on his extracurriculars,

he moved out of the house.

He's also been skipping his classes.

Were you aware?

No, sir. I wasn't.

That being said,

I'd like you to send him back home in any way you can.

Also, stay away from him.

- Sorry? - Don't take any of his calls

and never let him into your house again.

He needs to focus on his studies right now.

He worked hard to get into med school.

And he has what it takes to be a great doctor.

That is why I don't want him getting sidetracked

with meaningless distractions.

I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.

It is my dream to save lives

at the hospital with my son by my side.

I'd rather not see you get in the way of that.

Enjoy your meal.

It's on me.

Your meal will be served.

What's your problem?

Fine, I won't eat it.

I know he did nothing but sleep,

but the group feels incomplete without him.

Could they have gone on a date together?

I wouldn't be surprised. They've been joined at the hip these days.

Actually, Sa Gye's the one chasing her around.

- SAGYE? - Yes.

- And Bom? - Yes.

He's chasing her around?

I'd like to talk to you in private. Can we meet up?

I'll wait at the bus stop.

Guys, I forgot I had plans. I'll see you around.

- What? - Where are you going?

Tae-yang, you're leaving too?

Hold on. Did he leave so that we could be alone?

Jin-gu, behave yourself!

Sorry, guys.

HANJU UNIVERSITY MAIN ENTRANCE

Did you have to wait long?

Why were you waiting out here? You should've gone to a café.

Actually, shall we grab food first?

I'm good. Your dad bought me dinner.

He bought me filet mignon.

You met with my dad?

What's your problem?

Aren't you too old for puberty blues?

Stop making life hard for everyone and go back home, Young Master Tae-yang.

If I were just going to go back,

I would have never left.

Your dad

already cleared out your things.

What?

- How could you let him? - Do as he says.

Whatever you're fighting with him about, fight him at home.

Get his permission before you move out. I heard you've been skipping classes too.

Others would kill to go to med school, so why quit it?

Because it isn't for me.

What's your thing, then?

We can't all do what we want in life.

After my mom died…

even her business flopped.

Do you know what I thought?

That I had been selfish.

I selfishly only chased after my own dreams…

when my mom had given up everything because of me.

That's why I promised myself

to do 99 things I hated

so I could make room for the one thing I love.

That's why I've been working my ass off, working part-time jobs!

Do you think…

I've only been doing what I want to do?

Yes. It also seems like you're going out of your way

to make trouble for yourself for the fun of it.

- Kim Bom! - I don't

want your dad coming to see me again.

Why?

It got me jealous.

You're lucky to have a dad who nags.

Take care.

Bom…

That was cold, Bom.

You're staying out way too late.

Have you had dinner?

Of course. It's late.

With whom? What did you eat? When and where?

Enough is enough.

Is this an interrogation?

Why won't you listen to me? There's no harm in being cautious.

It's a scary world out there.

I've lived in this neighborhood for 20 years.

I'm also a black belt in taekwondo, so…

Okay.

Take your own advice.

Where's Tae-yang?

What happened?

All his things are gone.

Did his dad drag him back home like your aunt said?

Isn't he old enough to make decisions for himself?

Is he his dad's puppet?

Thrilled to have the room to yourself?

Relieved like you got rid of the thorn in your side?

You should've been nicer to him when he was around.

But…

SAGYE

How does it feel to be back home?

Keep your word about not skipping any more classes.

You must keep your word too.

Don't go see Bom again.

As long as you keep your word, I won't have any reason to see her.

You'll also quit that band.

Stay away from people like her.

Why on earth do you hate her so much?

She gives me a bad feeling.

I also don't like the fact that she's an orphan.

That's not her fault!

If that's the case,

don't I give off the worst feeling?

I told you to stay away from her, so do as I say.

You will never get to be with her.

I dare you to stay in her life.

Then we'll both see how far I'm willing to go.

Don't forget you're observing my surgery today.

It's at 2 p.m.

The liver, heart, and kidney will be harvested

from a patient who's in a brain death state.

You don't get to observe such a surgery often.

Consider it a privilege for having a doctor for a father.

Be grateful.

There can't possibly be a better opportunity.

Only one of our students gets this chance to study abroad.

You have good grades

and are well-regarded by the professors, which is why we've chosen you.

But I don't have good grades. My GPA's under 3.0.

Is that so?

It's not like your grades matter.

You were chosen because you're promising in more ways than one.

Don't feel burdened or think much of it and go.

Your tuition will be covered, as well as your dorm and living expenses.

This is a full package.

Something even your parents couldn't provide.

I get that, but this is out of the blue.

That's how opportunities present themselves.

I hear you've had it rough since losing your parents young.

The heavens are trying to make it up to you.

So why are you fighting it?

Go ahead and sign it already.

Please sign it, Ms. Bom.

Go ahead. That's it.

- I'm not going. - You won't? Why not?

I appreciate the offer.

But I'm not that pathetic as you make me out to be.

Besides, I'm not thrilled about being selected

for a program I didn't sign up for.

But most of all, I have many things going on here.

Like the upcoming performance.

I'm sure others would jump at this chance.

Then…

I'll get going.

Ms. Bom, wait!

Hey, Kim Bom!

You!

Number 128, please.

QUEUE NUMBER 128

Let me check again.

I'll now begin the surgery.

Scalpel.

Mom.

Mom, I'm home.

Seo Tae-yang,

pull yourself together.

Father.

You wimp.

You're not just a wimp but a moron as well.

You're just as pathetic as your damn mother.

What could you possibly do with that mentality?

Don't talk to me about Mom.

We both know who drove her off a cliff.

The weak and pitiful are always the ones making excuses.

Is that how I raised you?

It's humiliating to even call you my son. You know that?

I'm not exactly proud of you either.

Kick and hit me all you want. I'll take all of it.

But after that,

you won't force me to be a doctor.

Here you go again with that glare!

I don't know how much longer I should put up with you.

I just don't.

Exactly.

What can I do to make you give up on me?

Will you stop forcing me to be a doctor

if I can't become one at all?

What? What do you think you're doing?

If being a doctor is my only option, I'll take it off the table.

Seo Tae-yang, have you lost it?

How stupid are you?

Why would you hurt your own hand?

Where's the guy who challenged me to a showdown?

Do you have no clue how to fight your battles?

Yet you talked big?

Will you play the guitar with your teeth or toes?

Let go of me.

If you have the strength, stand up for yourself.

Mind your own business.

I doubt this matter concerns you.

Is that so, Dr. Seo?

Since you've already met with Bom and are well-connected,

I figured you enjoyed meddling.

I'd rather not see you get in the way of that.

Enjoy your meal.

It's on me.

Your meal will be served.

Dr. Seo, we need you!

No aspiring doctor would dare damage his hands.

If you let him have his way

because you were worried he might hurt Bom,

you don't need to worry.

Your dad won't ever be able to harm her.

You could even call me her stalker. I'm always on her tail recently.

You should go.

I will even if you try to stop me.

It'll only be your loss if you don't live the way you want.

Keep that in mind, Tae-yang.

Shouldn't Tae-yang be here?

Did he forget it's practice time?

Tell me about it.

He chose the hardest song for you to play,

but he's late by hours.

Let's wait a bit more. You know he always keeps his word.

Just tell him to quit!

Even my darling SAGYE is waiting for him too.

He should do what I do and not go home at all.

Jin-gu, you didn't go home yesterday too?

How can you eat and sleep here? Don't you have a home?

No, I don't. Do I look like I have a place to live?

Not at all.

Are you nuts?

What happened to your conscience and shame?

You're late by a whopping two hours. Shouldn't you apologize first?

That's enough.

Were you held back by class? Why didn't you pick up our calls?

He's here, so who cares?

- Don't make a fuss about it. - Sure.

Let's begin, then.

Jin-gu?

One, two, three, four!

FESTIVAL D-10

How do we hang it up?

HITTING "ROCK" BOTTOM ENJOY AND EMBRACE WITH TWO SAGYE

FESTIVAL D-9

What the hell? Why is everything off-balance?

I can't hear us properly.

- Do we need to recheck the volume? - Of course not.

How can we perform sounding like amateurs?

We can't beat Hanju Band like this.

Again.

One, two, three, four!

FESTIVAL D-7

Who keeps joining in off-beat?

Don't join on the beat. Come in half a beat early!

I joined in at a syncopated rhythm.

I was on point as well.

It's never you two, is it? We'll go again!

Stop blaming others.

That section where we join at a syncopated rhythm.

We'll sound messy if even one of us is off beat.

Signal with your eyes and play as a group.

- Chemistry is key to a band. - Chemistry is key!

- Chemistry! - One, two, three, four!

FESTIVAL D-4

TWO SAGYE, HITTING "ROCK" BOTTOM

NOVEMBER 5, 2025, OPEN-AIR THEATER

HANJU BAND 2025 UNIVERSITY FESTIVAL

- This way. - Sure.

Over here? Okay.

I saw what you did, TWO SAGYE.

Stay right there.

- Run. - Hey!

Not again.

Let's please be on point, guys.

Here we go.

FESTIVAL D-3

One, two, three, four.

Who ordered Chinese?

- Who was it? - What the hell?

I was

starving.

FESTIVAL D-2

Ro-ha! Did you know SAGYE's going to perform?

You should be there. Am I right?

It's in two days. Sure thing!

Da-won!

Hye-yun!

Ju-yeon!

- Are you up? - What time is it?

It's 3 a.m.

3 a.m.? I can't believe you. Why didn't you wake me up?

How could I? You were sound asleep.

We need to go. Auntie will kill us if we stay out all night.

Hold your horses.

The doors are locked, so there's no way of leaving.

What?

What, then? We should sleep here?

You should've woken me up.

Why are you yelling at me when you're the one who fell asleep?

Because of you, I was stuck here making sure you were okay.

Don't you feel guilty at all?

It's not like

you apologized to me either.

Why do I need to apologize to you?

That… You know why.

No, I don't.

Are you going to keep playing dumb?

The other day, you pretended to be drunk

and hugged me! I know you remember that.

But why act like you don't?

Why do I need to apologize for that?

I didn't hug you because I was drunk.

I hugged you because I like you.

You didn't push me away because you like me too, no?

That's ridiculous.

Well, I…

I was reminded of my mom, that's all.

My gosh!

They must've turned the lights off. It's terrifying.

See?

You like being in my arms.

It suddenly went dark. I was just scared.

There. That's better, right?

The moon's so bright tonight.

Can I ask why you always try so hard?

I honestly thought I was the only one.

Because I have two lives to live for.

Mine and

my mom's.

There's another reason.

You.

Me?

I want you to be

the first artist I produce.

I bet you didn't know.

That's why this performance is important to me.

Gye.

Why don't we

get back up?

You should show them

that SAGYE is still the star he is despite the setbacks.

You'll be my producer?

You?

Can you afford to sign me?

Why?

- Would that cost a lot? - Yes, of course.

You said I'm still a superstar.

Don't be a jerk.

You're loaded. So offer me a discount.

I'll pay more once I earn a lot of money.

I can make you soar.

I'll need a signing bonus

if I'm to soar like a rocket or whatnot.

How about this, then?

Sign the contract first. Then, I'll pay.

Is that so?

I'll sign the contract, then.

Right now?

You know one shouldn't move when sealing the deal, don't you?

Bom,

I'm excited to know that I'm a part of your dreams.

SPRING OF YOUTH

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK KIM YONG-MYUNG FOR HIS GUEST APPEARANCE

Gye. How about we go on that date?

But this must mean we were meant to meet.

This is the happiest I've felt.

My dream must have been prophetic.

Are you ready to bring the house down?

Random people came to the event pretending to be SAGYE's fans?

Was it your doing, Father?

What do you think you're doing?

Where's Bom?

Where is she?
