(Episode 14)

Aren't you pushing yourself too hard?

Let me be.

Ba Da, what's taking you so long?

Come out already!

Breakfast is ready! Why are you still asleep?

What is it?

I'm starting my job at the hair salon again.

Already? Why don't you take a break?

I get too bored staying home alone.

You used to skip all of your classes...

and waste your days at home all the time before.

I know, right? I don't know what I did all day.

Eat up.

Still, I'm glad the owner let me return.

I was worried she wouldn't let me.

- Eat up. - I will.

Oh, my.

See?

Habits can be so funny, right?

Let's eat!

Hey, do you think Sung Tae is eating well?

I'm sure he is.

He can stand anything but hunger, after all.

You're right. He has a big appetite.

That's right!

He does...

- Is it bad? - No, it's good.

Eat up some more!

It's so good.

Sung Tae loves kimchi stew.

Instant food is so unhealthy.

My goodness.

Here.

You're starring in a music video.

A music video?

We need to build up your reputation back before you start working on movies.

Getting you the role wasn't easy.

Had it not been for Ye Rin starring with you,

you couldn't have landed this.

So, Ye Rin will be in it too?

Yes.

It seems like it.

That's odd.

Ye Rin and I...

turned against each other with the whole world watching.

Wouldn't it play against us if we starred in the music video together?

It would be what'd draw people's attention.

The producers agreed.

When you two star together,

people will undoubtedly wonder how your relationship has changed.

And we're using that attention as a marketing strategy.

How ridiculous.

Just focus on your acting and nothing else.

I specifically chose a good guy role for you.

Put on such good acting...

that the world will forget their bad impression of you.

You're a good guy, after all.

Just show your real self.

Sung Tae!

Don't you need someone to read the script for you?

I know more about you than you think.

And you use that against me.

I won't try to explain myself since you don't like me, anyway.

But we're in the same agency now.

We can't be enemies.

So, you'd better not reject my kindness.

Unless you're taking the script to So Ra, that is.

Hop in.

We'd better go somewhere quiet.

Right.

Your house would be perfect.

You got this, Sung Tae!

You can do it!

Isn't that So Ra?

Should I stop the van?

No.

Let's just go.

Your house is so clean.

It doesn't seem like a single guy's house.

I'm a guest.

You'll surely get me some tea, at least, right?

I don't have time to play with you.

Just read the script.

Don't be so mean.

I'm here to help you.

Fine, then.

I'll read the script. Come here.

"One. University campus."

"It's pouring rain."

"Sun Jae is covering his head with his backpack..."

"and running in the rain..."

"when he bumps into Hyun Jung,"

"who's walking with an umbrella ahead of him."

"Sun Jae catches Hyun Jung, who's falling."

"Hyun Jung, surprised,"

"lets her umbrella go."

"And Sun Jae runs after the umbrella flying away in the wind."

"Go back for now!"

"Go back..."

"and enjoy this beautiful world."

Be disheartened.

"Su Min..."

No, be more disheartened!

"Su Min!"

"I can wait forever for you."

"So, take your time."

"Su Min slowly disappears."

"Then, Jae Min cries out!"

"Su Min!"

"He cries out once more."

"Su Min!"

Sung Tae!

Are you listening?

I can listen later.

Just record it for me and go.

We'd better keep a good eye on Sung Tae.

What do you mean?

So Ra dropped by Sung Tae's house today!

Is that true?

I didn't believe Sung Tae when he said he'd break up with her.

If it were to be over that easily, they would be over by now!

If you don't want him to betray you later,

you'd better keep a good eye on the two now.

Hello?

It's me.

I heard So Ra came by your house today.

I'm disappointed in you.

I kept my word. How could you do this behind my back?

I didn't do anything.

I told you to end things with So Ra completely!

I'm already over her.

It's So Ra who's not over me.

How can I trust you on that?

Just forget all of this if you can't trust me!

You'll know if you just watch.

So, why are you pestering me?

Fine.

I'll believe you this once.

I know how clingy So Ra gets when a guy leaves her, after all.

I'm watching you.

Don't disappoint me.

Ba Da, can I borrow your jacket?

- Where are you going? - To take out the trash.

I'll take it out when I go to work!

Come on. I'll just do it now before I forget.

So Ra!

- Come on. - What?

Don't push yourself.

What do you mean?

So Ra,

you haven't stayed still for a second since coming home earlier.

You cleaned every corner of the house, did the laundry, and ironed underwear.

Watching you do this breaks my heart.

You're so fragile!

- I'm just doing what needs to be done. - So Ra.

I know how empty you feel.

And I know you're pushing yourself because you feel that way.

But you'll only get burned out quickly if you do this.

Sung Tae isn't coming back in a few days.

You can't tire yourself out so soon.

So, just relax and live as you did before.

I know.

I'm trying not to show it,

but I can't help but think about him whenever I stay still.

I know how you feel.

So Ra,

I...

If I see you now,

I'll only start doubting myself.

I'll only want to go back to you.

So,

I'll just go.

I'm sorry.

Sung Tae!

Did you enjoy all the food I made you?

The least you can do is give me a call to thank me for the food!

I'll really resent you...

if you don't even call!

I miss you so much...

So much...

that I almost resent you.

I'm starting to resent you.

Sung Tae!

(Shooting the Stars)

You two will just need to focus on your acting.

Today's shoot is the most important one.

You two are breaking up because you have to.

So, you have to make the viewers feel emotional.

Mr. Gu,

please make sure to get the right emotion.

Yes, sir.

Ready?

- Yes, sir. - Ready?

Let's start.

Ready, cue!

I don't believe in breaking up because you love each other.

You have to stay together if you love each other,

no matter what life brings you!

Forever! Don't you agree?

Don't skip meals,

don't get sick,

and always think of me wherever you go...

to stay strong.

Cut!

Mr. Gu, good acting.

You got the emotion spot-on!

What did I tell you?

I said you wouldn't regret it once you saw him acting.

Sung Tae!

Here.

Thank you.

I was tearing up watching you.

I knew it when we filmed the movie together,

but you and I have such good teamwork when we're acting.

Don't you think so?

I wasn't acting with you.

What do you mean?

Scene 5-4.

Cue!

I'll get going, okay? See you!

- What was that? - What happened?

What's going on? Sung Tae!

What are you doing? Call the ambulance!

- Sung Tae! - I'm fine.

Don't move. You might hurt yourself more.

Sung Tae.

Call the ambulance already!

You'd like to schedule an appointment at 2 p.m.?

- Hey! What's going on? - Okay.

Why is Sung Tae being mentioned with Ye Rin again?

Sung Tae hurt himself to save Ye Rin!

Is this why he signed with Do Hoon?

To be Ye Rin's bodyguard?

Is that why he signed with Do Hoon...

and left you and Ba Da?

It happened during a music video shoot. I guess Sung Tae is acting again.

Acting, my foot! Are there no other actresses?

Knowing Ye Rin was his partner,

he should've turned it down, no matter what!

Goodness.

I knew he was up to something when he stopped talking to us.

- And there he is, with Ye Rin. - Right?

She doesn't deserve to be saved!

That's what I mean!

He shouldn't be looking out for Ye Rin right now.

Every day feels like forever for So Ra, who's waiting for him!

He hasn't called you since, has he?

Is he not picking up?

I can't do this.

I have to visit him at the hospital.

How would you even know where he is?

The article mentioned the hospital.

No, don't go.

He got hurt saving Ye Rin!

Why would you even visit him?

Just don't go however badly he is hurt!

Can you let me go?

So Ra!

Goodness!

How do you feel?

I just have a few bruises. I'm fine.

That's good to hear.

As an actor, your body is a treasure. You can't get hurt.

I read the article.

It wasn't even anything big, but you sure made it seem like it.

It's a good chance to change the public's impression of you.

You sacrificed yourself to save a woman.

Doesn't that sound so chivalrous?

The record label was happy as this promoted the music video so much.

It was dangerous,

but we got a lot out of this.

I can get out of the hospital now, right?

No.

Rest for a few days while you're here.

The reporters wrote as if the injury was big.

You can't leave yet.

How meticulous of you.

I'm a capable manager, after all.

Do you finally see my worth?

(Patient: Gu Sung Tae)

Sung Tae!

What brings you here?

Are you okay?

Where did you get hurt? Is the injury bad?

Tell me!

Where did you get injured, and how badly?

Sung Tae!

- Tell me! - Why are you here?

- Why would you come here? - Sung Tae!

We're not together anymore.

Why did you come here?

What's wrong with you?

Get out. Get out right now!

Sung Tae!

Don't ever come back again.

Stop pestering me!

Wait. Sung Tae!

Get out.

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae, what's with you?

Sung Tae!

Open the door.

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae...

Open the door!

The fun part is over.

You should go now.

I hope what you just showed me wasn't acting.

What else do you want me to do now?

Fine.

No need to get so worked up.

I want to be alone.

I can't let you do that.

We don't know when the reporters will come.

I'd better stay with you so you don't make any mistakes.

So Ra.

What's with your face? Did something happen?

Mi Ryeon said you were visiting Sung Tae. Were you at the hospital?

Did something happen there?

Ba Da...

Tell me.

Sung Tae is acting odd.

What do you mean?

Sung Tae...

has become a completely different person.

What do you mean?

Why would Sung Tae become a totally different person?

I don't know.

I don't get it either.

So Ra, what do you mean?

Tell me more so I can understand!

So Ra...

Don't worry. I'm sure everything's fine.

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae!

- So Ra, do you hear me? - Sung Tae...

Sung Tae, you...

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae!

Sung Tae...

Sung Tae...

Sung Tae...

It's too early to be sure.

He can put on an act around you.

I know that too.

Why don't you go to see him at the hospital...

instead of bossing me around?

He wouldn't be happy to see me there.

I'm not telling you to go for him to pamper you.

Sure, he didn't save you out of fondness,

but he technically risked his life to save you.

Wouldn't it look decent in others' eyes if you were at the hospital?

So, you want me to make it look perfect...

while we're at it?

If you got it, do it properly.

Don't skip meals,

don't get sick,

and always think of me wherever you go...

to stay strong.

Always think of me wherever you go...

to stay strong.

Ba Da!

Ba Da!

It's been a minute.

Do you feel better?

Yes.

- I see. - Sit here.

When are you leaving the hospital?

Tomorrow.

I can't seem to reach you on the phone.

Right. My phone is broken.

I just didn't have the time to get it fixed.

I see.

Is...

So Ra...

doing okay?

Yes.

No, she isn't.

What?

Sung Tae,

what happened yesterday?

Ba Da,

I have something to tell you.

Please don't call or visit me for a while.

- Sung Tae! - Sorry.

That's the best I can do for now.

What do you mean?

I told you.

I'm going to get back everything he took from us.

And to do so, I can't have him suspect me of anything.

Until I get my way,

I have to distance myself from you and So Ra.

No, Sung Tae. You can't do that.

Ba Da.

You can do that to me,

but not So Ra. Do you know what she's going through right now?

You can talk to her for me.

Talking won't do anything!

This isn't about logic but about her heart.

She may understand it logically, but her heart can't handle that much pain.

You may be able to handle it because you're a man,

but not my So Ra!

Yes,

she can do it.

She trusts me, so she can handle it.

Tell her yourself, then.

Meet with her and make her understand it.

Why can't you answer me?

I don't want...

to see her right now.

Sung Tae!

I'd only get weaker if I saw her now.

Leaving her once was so hard. If I were to see her again,

it'd only get harder.

I can't do this to So Ra.

You still need to see her at least once.

Visit us tomorrow.

I can't go.

Sung Tae!

So Ra is bedridden because of you.

Is she very sick?

Visit us if you're curious.

I'll take it that you're visiting tomorrow.

Don't wait for me. I'm not going.

Ba Da.

We need to talk.

Ba Da!

I have a question.

Are Sung Tae and So Ra really over?

Sung Tae says they're over, but I don't believe it.

This isn't your business.

I'm just worried about him.

Worried?

Why?

Do Hoon paid you your money back...

only on the condition...

that he'd cut So Ra and you out of his life.

You know what Do Hoon is like, don't you?

If Sung Tae doesn't keep that promise,

he's going to have a difficult acting career.

As long as Sung Tae is under Do Hoon's control,

Do Hoon has all the power to do what he wants with Sung Tae's career.

So,

if you want Sung Tae to succeed,

you'd better let him go.

So Ra, I'm home.

Did you have dinner?

Goodness.

My dinner isn't what you should be worried about right now.

I'm sorry...

I made you worry so much.

I met Sung Tae.

Sung Tae?

Goodness. You got better as soon as you heard his name.

What did he say?

Did he act weird around you too?

No.

He was going through something yesterday.

I see.

Sung Tae is...

coming tomorrow.

Really?

Yes, I could barely stop him from coming today.

He's still a patient. He needs the hospital to release him first.

Ba Da! Of course,

he should come after the hospital releases him.

Hey, let go of me.

Are you that happy that he's coming?

Yes.

Look at you!

Can't you act a bit cool about it around your brother, at least?

How can I do that right now?

My heart sank yesterday.

You have no idea how scared I was.

Why are you scared?

You trust him, don't you?

I wonder why he acted like that yesterday.

I guess I got nervous...

because he hadn't been taking my calls or spending time with me.

Goodness!

I'm going to yell at him when he comes tomorrow!

Sure, he might've been going through something,

but how could he scare me like that?

Right?

I know!

Teach him a lesson when he comes tomorrow.

Yes!

Goodness.

Thank you. Please come back next time!

What are you doing?

Mi Ryeon,

don't I seem a little tired today?

Of course.

You were sick. How can you not look tired?

I can't look bad today.

I need to look healthy.

Why? Is something up?

Sung Tae is...

coming home today.

He'll worry if he sees my face so sickly.

Goodness. You worry about everything, don't you?

Who made you bedridden in the first place?

He deserves to see you and get worried.

He should be on his knees, begging for forgiveness!

Don't talk like that!

You know we can't meet often.

I don't know when I'll see him next after today.

I don't want to worry him.

My heart hurts the most when Sung Tae isn't well.

I'm more heartbroken when he's not well...

than when I can't see him or reach him on the phone.

Goodness.

What a hopeless romantic you are.

Mi Ryeon,

can you make me look pretty?

No!

I'm still mad at Sung Tae.

I don't want to use my skills to make you look pretty for Sung Tae.

You're so mean.

Come after your shift is done.

I'll do your hair if I'm free then.

Thank you!

Can you hurry up?

I don't want Sung Tae to be waiting.

Fine. Goodness.

Make sure to curl it well, okay?

Are you that happy?

Don't be so stingy with the product. Be generous!

- It's expensive! - Come on.

I'm giving you special treatment because it's you.

I'll put lots on you.

Look at this.

You look great!

Where are you going? We haven't checked you out yet.

Right.

I need some fresh air. Please excuse me first.

Come with us.

We have an interview for the music video promotion.

Right now?

Why? Are you busy right now?

Mr. Gu,

can we take it that you've signed with Power Entertainment...

to repair your relationship with Ms. Jeong?

Did you break up with the manager you were supposedly living with?

We're here to promote the music video.

I'd appreciate it...

if you asked about the music video instead of my personal life.

- Could you tell us more about it? - The music video is...

- Please look this way! - Ms. Jeong, here!

Why did they choose Mr. Gu instead of other actors?

- Please look here. - One more time.

Sorry, please excuse me.

- Mr. Gu. - The two...

We're not done yet.

The interview is over.

We're drinking with the reporters.

I'm not going.

It's all for you.

You had your career crushed by a dating rumor.

You need to get on their good side to get good articles published!

I'm not too familiar with drinking settings.

My presence won't do much.

Don't talk back.

I'm not a manager who lets you do whatever you want, like Ba Da.

When I tell you to come, come.

And say what I tell you to say.

That'll be the best for you.

I won't accept that arrogant face anymore either.

Do you understand?

- Hey! Sung Tae! - Sung Tae!

- Sung Tae! - Sung Tae!

So Ra!

(Shooting the Stars)

Hello?

So Ra, it's me.

Ba Da.

Did Sung Tae come by?

No, we haven't met yet.

What?

He didn't come?

Ba Da,

I...

Can you pick me up?

Use this from now on.

I don't need a new phone.

You said it was broken.

I can get it fixed.

Just use this, okay?

A new number will get you away from pesky calls.

No thanks.

There. Surprise.

I don't need a cell phone.

Come on. Press number one.

- Number one? - Hurry.

If something happens to someone somewhere

Astroganger

Are you singing the theme song of "Astroganger?"

It means that I'll run to you whenever something comes up with you.

Remember you promised that.

The person you have reached is not available.

Please leave a message after the beep. Extra fees will be charged.

Is he still not picking up?

So Ra, just give up and go home.

You can't be out like this when you're not even well!

I'll just stay a bit longer.

I'll only worry Ba Da if I go home early.

Sung Tae, that brat!

He's causing you so much trouble!

So Ra.

So Ra.

- About yesterday... - About yesterday...

You can go first.

About yesterday...

I'm sorry.

Did I keep you waiting for long?

Yes.

You don't seem too well.

I'm fine.

I'll feel all better now that I've seen you.

Everything's fine for you, right?

That's fine, then.

I was worried about you.

I was worried something might've happened to you.

- So Ra. - Yes?

Well...

Remember how I asked you to wait for me?

Yes.

Don't.

What?

Don't wait for me.

I'll come back to you,

even if you don't wait for me.

So, don't wait for me.

How can you say that?

What do you mean I shouldn't wait since you'll come back anyway?

If you keep waiting for me,

things will only get harder, like yesterday.

So, don't wait for me.

And just live on...

like you did before you met me.

What's wrong?

I'm doing just fine right now.

I can live on just fine while waiting for you too.

Lies.

Do you know how you look?

The thought of you waiting for me with that sad face every day...

makes me want to forget everything and run back to you.

Then you can forget me.

You can forget about me waiting.

I won't be disappointed if you do. I mean it.

I believe you'll come back,

so I can wait without getting disappointed.

Sung Tae!

I get that you're trying even harder for Ba Da and me,

but this doesn't suit you at all.

So, don't think about anything else...

and focus on your acting, okay?

I can take care of my own career.

You're so stubborn!

You say that like it's new.

So Ra,

thank you...

for showing me your smile.

I finally feel all better.

I want you to have something to smile about too.

I have Ba Da,

but you're always alone.

I feel like you really have nothing to smile about,

and that breaks my heart.

I'm fine.

I'm fine as long as you are.

(Sung Tae and So Ra)

What's your New Year's wish?

To find my foster parents.

I wanted to find them once I got famous...

but didn't have time as so much happened.

So, I'll look for them as soon as I get famous again.

Why wasn't I hired for the role?

They didn't like you.

You could've insisted on me so that I'd get the role.

I could have.

But I wanted to let them have their way this time.

Why?

Because we'll probably work with them for the next movie.

I had to let them have their way this time...

to push Sung Tae for a role in the new movie.

So, you're telling me to give up for Sung Tae's sake?

You'll have other chances.

But I wanted to be in that movie!

Don't act like a kid.

If you're that desperate, be a better actor, like Sung Tae.

You seem to have your hopes up...

just because Sung Tae is gaining some attention from the music video.

But his popularity hasn't returned to what it was before.

Nobody knows what'll happen when he gets back to movies again.

I still have a better chance with him than you.

I thought you were reconsidering my worth.

Yes, I am.

I'm not losing out by keeping you, at least for now.

But Sung Tae is much better in the long run.

People in this industry say...

actresses are like cash and actors are like blank checks.

It takes a longer time to invest in male actors,

but once they hit the jackpot, actresses are no match for them.

I don't care what calculations you have going on.

Make me star in this movie. I don't want to wait any longer.

I told you! It's already been decided.

You can't do this to me.

Have you forgotten I still have the dirt on you?

What are you trying to say?

Let me remind you since you seem to have forgotten.

Had it not been for me, you could've become a murderer.

That again?

Aren't you tired of it?

You've done Ba Da wrong too!

That's right.

I did him wrong by covering up for you.

But that's nothing...

compared to almost killing someone. Don't you think so?

I already knew about it.

You already did?

Yes.

And you still stayed silent?

Why? Why did you do that?

I didn't want to give Ye Rin a hard time over that.

That was for Ye Rin too?

Yes, I needed Ye Rin to step up herself to get to the bottom of it.

But Ye Rin begged me just to let it slide.

And I couldn't say "no" back then.

You don't still feel that way, do you?

Don't you know what Ye Rin has done to us?

You don't still want to protect her, do you?

No.

It's not because of Ye Rin anymore.

I just want to forget about it.

What do you mean? How can anyone forget about that?

Sung Tae,

it's more agonizing to hate someone than to be hated on.

Forgetting about this...

and not hating anyone is what's best for me.

Don't you feel wronged?

Don't you?

Don't you remember what he's done to us?

Aren't you angered by him living like nothing's happened...

without paying for what he's done?

So, what if I'm angered? How will uncovering this...

make any difference?

Ye Rin will never admit to having witnessed the incident.

Why would she do that when she works with Do Hoon?

Then we have to make her.

We have to make her tell the truth!

That'll only make things harder for you.

Do Hoon won't let you be...

if he hears you're trying to expose him for this.

When I sent you to Do Hoon,

I decided to let it all slide.

I can forgive Do Hoon...

if you succeed as an actor again.

I can't do that!

You may be so generous and forgiving,

but I'm not.

I'll do it if you can't.

I'll make him pay for what he's done!

Sung Tae!

That's not what I want.

Don't try to get revenge on Do Hoon.

Just focus on your acting career.

Focus on coming back to So Ra as soon as possible.

Don't be hung up on the past.

- Just focus on So Ra. - Ba Da!

Listen to me.

Just forget about the past, okay?

I'm so mad at you!

You keep letting them slide,

and that's why Do Hoon and Ye Rin keep underestimating you!

Sung Tae!

Goodness.

What's up? I didn't expect you to call me up.

I'm here to ask a favor as Sung Tae's ex-manager.

A favor?

Find Sung Tae's parents.

His parents?

His foster parents, to be exact.

They lived together for about a year before they parted.

And it's Sung Tae's dream to find the parents.

You can do that much as his manager, right?

They parted after living together for about a year?

He was sent to an orphanage because their business failed.

(Orphans' Home of Korea)

- Come here. - It's okay.

Don't leave!

Do Hoon!

Do Hoon!

I'll be good from now on!

Please live with me.

Do Hoon!

I'll earn lots of money with Mom and Dad...

and come back for you.

Don't cry.

Promise me.

Did he have any siblings?

He said he had a brother who was much older.

(Chief Manager Kim Do Hoon)
