[Would you like to join Spirit Fingers?]

♫ A heart that remains unchanged through time ♫

♫ Our eternal story that will last forever ♫

[This drama is fictional, and any similarity with reality is purely coincidental.]

[Production guidelines were followed when filming children and animals.]

Actually,

Gi Jeong is my ex-boyfriend.

There was a misunderstanding between us,

so now we're only working together as models.

U Yeon!

She does look pretty

dressed like that.

That girl

really shines.

I'm sorry, you waited long, right?

No,

you look really beautiful today.

Not at all.

Thank you for inviting me today.

Yeah,

let's hurry in.

[Episode 8]

It's here.

Looks small outside but spacious inside, huh?

The interior's unique too.

I was so excited when I first came.

So annoying.

Why's she so talkative?

It's kinda creepy.

[Spirit Fingers, 10th Meeting]

No, it's just today's theme. Nothing weird will happen.

Nothing's going to suddenly jump out like in a haunted house, right?

I really hate that kind of thing.

Don't worry,

let's go in.

Are you okay?

Please stop.

Are you okay?

We really got scared.

Are you okay?

Darn it.

U Yeon, I'm sorry.

I got so scared.

Sorry for freaking you out on our first meeting, Baeblu's friend.

You came on a horror-themed day of all days.

Shall we go then?

Sorry,

I didn't expect them to go this far.

It's fine,

it was fun.

Should we go too?

Let's go.

Take your seats, guys.

Don't think about Koo Seon Ho.

Don't think about Koo Seon Ho.

Don't think about Koo Seon Ho.

Don't think about Koo Seon Ho.

Let's think about Koo Seon Ho.

Let's think about Koo Seon Ho.

Ugh, seriously!

What do I do? What should I do?

Nothing's working.

I can't believe my brain is full of that fool, Koo Seon Ho!

Am I the only one here?

Everyone to your positions!

Huh? This room?

The door looks like a coffin.

What is it?

Ah! What?

Oh this, seriously...

Fun, right?

- Yeah. - We've got everything ready.

What are a bunch of grown-ups doing here?

It's done.

The three of you need to get ready.

Alright.

Hurry up!

Let me see.

It suits you perfectly.

Check these sewing lines, so cute.

- Right? - Adorable.

It fits perfectly.

Can't see.

Ye Rim, you done yet?

Why,

does it look bad?

No.

It's just really pretty.

But still,

something feels missing.

Yeah, that's probably it.

Now she finally fits in here a bit.

Darn it.

What's wrong with them?

Why are they doodling on my face?

Your friend

looks angry.

Not at all.

I'm just making faces to match the makeup.

Oh right, that smile now suits you well.

Your eyes aren't smiling, just your mouth, right?

What's taking Mint so long?

Give me back my leg!

Geu Rin, it looks really real.

It looks creepy and scary, right?

You don't want to see it again, huh?

Cute

and sexy.

Huh?

Wait.

Did he always smile like that?

Yeah, I usually smile like this.

Come on, just give in already.

What do you mean?

Ah, why isn't he coming? What's he up to again?

Nam Gi Jeong.

Alright, shall we get ready for croquis?

I'll go to the restroom real quick.

I wonder what look the model will show up with today.

Right, he makes me look forward to it every time.

He'll have to do more than a Harley Quinn costume.

That was seriously shocking back then.

Can I take out my contact lenses?

I can't see as well as I thought. And the room is dark.

Stick to the concept, Khaki.

- Mister. - Huh?

This is my first time doing croquis.

Could you teach me?

Oh, really?

Did you bring a croquis book?

No.

What? You're not scared?

No, not really.

I might just bite you.

I'm a vampire, you know?

So?

What now?

Hey.

- What's wrong? - Gi Jeong?

Hey, Gi Jeong.

Ahn Ye Rim? Why are you here?

She's my guest.

What?

Yeah, I came as U Yeon's guest.

She's the person you wanted to bring?

Yeah.

A word with you.

You two know each other? Since when?

How? Why?

We just met by chance recently.

She helped me when I was in trouble.

I invited her here to return the favor.

By chance?

Hey, you might not realize it,

but she's not the type to just run into someone and help them by chance.

But we did meet by chance.

And she did help me.

Be honest.

She said she wanted to come here, right?

No,

I invited her.

Hey, maybe you really don't know,

but she likes me, so that's why...

I know.

What?

You knew?

I sort of heard about it.

Heard?

What exactly did you hear?

Yeah.

You heard and you know it.

But you don't care?

Why should I care?

You don't?

No.

Not at all.

Fine. Got it.

U Yeon.

Is Gi Jeong

really mad?

- No. - I'm sorry.

I told you not to say anything to him,

but I should've told him earlier.

It's nothing.

Let's go in.

Let's stay out a bit longer.

You kept saying 'just a little more,' and two hours have already passed.

I really don't want to go to the study room.

Then just 30 more minutes, okay?

Ah, just 30 minutes.

Jeez.

Darn it.

Watch where you're going.

What's wrong, Song?

Wait.

Just stay still for a moment.

So annoying.

Hey!

Good to see you guys.

- What? - Oh, thanks.

- For showing up here. - What's this about?

You know her?

No.

Who are you? You know me?

Of course.

Don't you know me?

Who are you?

I'm...

I'm Song U Yeon's bestie, you punks!

- Let her go! - Stop!

Hey!

Right, time to pick a nickname for our guest.

- Oh, right. - What color do you like?

Pardon?

This is so childish.

I...

White Finger, how about that?

Matches well with Ye Rim, right?

Oh, perfect match.

I like it too.

Alright, now that the guest is here...

- Time for 'I Am Ground' introductions! - Time for 'I Am Ground' introductions!

Stick to the concept and don't smile.

Or you'll get punished.

Good.

- Time for 'I Am Ground' introductions! - Time for 'I Am Ground' introductions!

What's this?

They really go overboard.

You smiled.

- Lie down. - Lie down.

- Lie down. - Lie down.

- Ye Rim. - Lie down.

- U Yeon. - Lie down.

- Lie down. - Wait.

Punishment shield.

Punishment shield?

Gi Jeong and Ye Rim know each other.

They are colleagues from the same studio.

Let's get this over with!

Indian!

What are you doing?

- Indian! - Indian!

- Rice! - Rice!

Huh? Yeom Se Ra?

Huh? Oh Dae O?

Do you study here too? Me too, nice to see you.

Unlike Poo Gi Jeong and that perv, you're genuinely cool.

What's that flower for?

Oh, this?

Here, take this. I found it on my way here.

Oh, really? But why are you saying it so casually?

Right. Why am I saying it so casually?

Jeez.

Huh?

Is that a fight?

Let go! Let go!

Stop it!

Darn you!

Darn, girls fighting...

Se Ra?

Se Ra?

Se Ra!

Se Ra!

Are you okay?

Hey, don't worry, I'm here.

What?

Let go while I'm asking nicely.

You, I won't let this slide!

Hey! You squid!

Hey! Oh Dae O! You alright?

You guys are all done for!

Three minutes up!

Maybe it's because of today's dress code, but everyone drew really well.

My brush pen's gliding smoothly too.

Is that supposed to be me?

Is this really a drawing club?

Nobody here can draw properly.

Huh?

That one's actually not bad.

Your line work's getting cleaner.

Really?

Yeah.

Right. Couple posing time is back!

Who's going to do it today?

Geu Rin and Seon Ho could...

Nope!

Hey, don't embarrass me.

I don't wanna do it, either.

Yeah? Well, that's a relief then.

Don't get all lovey-dovey here.

What's that supposed to mean?

I hate beans.

I won't even eat bean rice.

Goodness, you hate beans?

Bean hate? Is this a joke?

- Well... - Excuse me...

Can I give it a try? With Gi Jeong?

Well, we're both pros, so we should be able to show you properly.

Do it.

Oh, okay.

Two professional models posing should be worth watching.

Right? Right?

As expected of a pro. They're really bold.

This makes me actually want to draw.

Starting now.

Baeblu,

you're not drawing?

Pardon?

I've been like that since I was little.

A kid who didn't particularly

like or dislike anything.

Coming here,

I finally figured out what I like,

but I still think

I don't really know what I dislike.

I hate this.

I really hate this.

You're really the worst, Song U Yeon.

- Talk to me. - Ah, what is this?

What are you doing?

Is it the same now?

You feel nothing about it?

You still feel that way?

Yeah.

You really...

You're fine with me being that close to her?

What's that got to do with me?

It's not like we're dating.

What?

Oh, seriously!

Good work today. Okay.

I'm really craving kimbap, tteokbokki, and sundae. It's been so long.

Oh, right, kimbap, tteokbokki, and sundae.

Baeblu, are you okay with that?

Need to rush to the study room?

Not exactly.

Hey friend, come with us.

Yeah, since you're part of us today.

Is that alright?

Of course.

Thank you for looking out for me.

I'll just go. My head hurts.

Hey!

Oh, that punk.

He's at it again.

When we work together, he keeps saying he has a headache.

Is he hurting badly?

Huh? He never said anything like that.

Well, I just notice because I often see him.

Do you see him as often as Geu Rin does?

What?

She's Gi Jeong's sister.

Huh?

Oh, sorry.

Forgot to mention it.

No need to apologize.

Here, we don't call each other by titles like sister or brother.

Ah, then I'll head out first.

Gotta take care of that punk.

See you next week.

Take care of him?

Geu Rin taking care of Gi Jeong?

I'll get going too.

Ugh.

Getting over that hill ain't easy.

Thanks to you, I feel a bit better with Gi Jeong.

Thanks for today.

Oh, that's great.

But U Yeon.

Can I ask one thing?

Huh?

Yeah, what is it?

This might be weird

to ask now but,

U Yeon, by any chance,

do you like Gi Jeong?

Huh?

No.

Really?

You two looked so close.

Thought maybe you liked him.

Then I've been cluelessly stuck between you two.

It's really not the case, right?

You're sure?

No, it's not.

We're just friends.

Gi Jeong suggested being friends.

U Yeon.

Will you stay friends with me long too?

I really like you a lot.

Let's go. I'm getting hungry.

Let's go.

So back then when Gi Jeong saved you from bullies...

Now U Yeon got saved by coincidence?

Is that a dad joke?

It's a rhyme.

You got it, right?

It's not like I actually saved her.

I was too scared to step in.

Is it true, Baeblu?

Huh?

Oh, right.

If not for Ye Rim, I would've ended up like a drenched little mouse.

Ah, so she saved you from hair loss?

Oh, because it was acid rain, hence hair loss?

- Is that a joke? - Hilarious.

Say something.

Police station?

I really put my fighting skills back in the day against Legend haters to use.

Hey, fighting isn't the solution.

No, stay seated.

Anyone hurt?

Don't worry. I'm fine from head to toe.

Jeez.

Which police station is it?

Huh?

U Yeon! It's just a district outpost, not a police station.

Ah, so where exactly is it?

Why did you call her? You're making her worry.

We should at least tell her that we got revenge for her.

Hey! Oh Dae O! Are you okay?

Huh?

Oh Dae O?

No wonder he seemed familiar.

That's him, right?

The squid from the blind date with us.

What?

What?

A blind date?

Yeah, that squid who just wouldn't stop talking back then.

Wait, you only just realized that?

So what? What?

What do you mean 'what'?

If you were me, would you want to keep looking at your face?

So you never properly looked at my face before?

I saw it once.

Darn it, I only saw it once.

Ah, my eyes!

Hey, what should I do? Are you okay? You're not going blind, are you?

Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay? Let me see.

Crazy, darn it!

- Ah, seriously, what's wrong with you? - Hey!

Hey! Hey!

- Hey! - What are you doing?

Stop, no!

Sit down.

- Hey, Dae O. - Hey, you guys.

Sit.

Tae Seon.

What? What's going on?

They hit me.

Baeblu's such a good friend.

Baeblu must rush over because they're good friends, right?

Yes.

Hurry up. They might be waiting.

Ye Rim, I'm sorry.

Then I'll see you next week.

Yeah.

Then I should...

Oh, you should stay and hang out longer.

- Huh? - There's plenty of food left.

Aren't you curious about the modeling world?

I'm curious.

Then

what do you want to know?

More importantly,

should we finish our earlier conversation?

What conversation?

About school bullies.

I have a lot to say about school bullies.

I still remember it vividly.

The faces of those who tormented me that day.

Their snickering laughter.

Even the disgustingly humid weather that day.

Like they say, forgiving makes your heart feel lighter.

Or the one who got hit sleeps well,

but the bully can't.

All that's complete nonsense.

People like that

should gather all the universe's energy to become utterly miserable.

Exactly!

Oh, not the right vibe?

Black.

Did that happen to you in school?

What's with her?

Wait, was she saying that for me to hear?

Ugh, annoying.

Came to this lousy place and got involved with lousy people.

Darn, this is annoying.

Why are you out there?

Because I'm too full.

Yeah, me too.

Maybe doing this will help me digest it?

By the way, mister.

Yeah?

About Black.

She's super charismatic.

Yeah, right?

Because of that, she seems to speak

pretty directly to you guys.

Yeah?

I guess you don't notice because you see her often.

Did you say your name is Ye Rim?

Excuse me, officer.

Do you have friends?

I do.

- Call your dad. - Imagine a bunch of bullies

doodling all over your friend's face,

taking pictures, and giggling about it.

- Could you just stand by? - What am I supposed to do?

Ah, but you shouldn't beat people up like this.

So even with the rain pouring and them tossing your friend to the ground,

you'd just do nothing?

When did I say I'd just stand by?

I said I wouldn't hit anyone.

Ah, this is really annoying.

Yeah, we're the ones who doodled on her face,

but on a rainy day like that?

Even we didn't want to do it.

- Hey. - Let go.

I'm so annoyed I can't take this anymore.

Hey, she told us to deal with your loser friend, so we had no choice.

Hey, stop it.

Leave her be, and yeah.

We were ordered to do it.

I don't even care about your loser friend anymore, but she made us!

- How dare you call her a loser? - Don't.

Made you?

Someone ordered you to mess with U Yeon?

Who? Why?

If we tell you, you two need to work it out and be done with it, okay?

Who was it?

It's Ye Rim.

Do you like Gi Jeong?

Pardon?

But Gi Jeong isn't interested in you, right?

That's why you are annoyed with U Yeon, huh?

Well, you know how Gi Jeong is.

This isn't about trying to impress him,

but rather to create conflict between them?

Did you think we wouldn't notice?

Since you guys knew everything, you guys played along nicely, right?

Played along? Us? When?

Pretending not to know is part of the act.

We weren't pretending to go along with it.

We did it because you're just a kid.

Ye Rim.

Don't try acting like an adult already.

When you grow up, you'll have unavoidable reasons

to become pathetic sometimes.

We all end up becoming mediocre losers against our will.

What does it matter? You're just bitter old farts.

Hey, Ahn Ye Rim. Se Ryeong spilled everything.

What is she talking about?

Did you scold her?

Oh please.

I knew you would scare her from the start,

but you held back a lot.

Why would I pull rank on a kid?

One solid and quick strike at the right time would suffice.

But that kid was brazen till the very end.

I didn't expect her to just grab her bag and leave without saying a word.

And right in front of us.

Kids these days are all like that, I guess.

Back in my day...

No, hear my 'back in my day' story first.

Hear my 'back in my day' story.

Here, drink this.

My story's way better.

Looks like you need to come here.

You should come, explain, and apologize to settle this.

Ah, those lunatics say it's only a settlement if you do that.

Even if both sides are wrong, we're at a bigger disadvantage.

Mi Rae! Yeom Se!

Song.

Gee.

What happened to your face?

If we hadn't run into each other, nothing would've happened.

But when they just showed up in front of us, how could we ignore it?

Well, Miss Piggy.

We're here too, you know.

Wait, why...

Do you know Ahn Ye Rim?

Ye Rim?

How do you know Ye Rim?

Last time when it rained, they messed with you.

She was the one who ordered that.

What are you talking about?

Hey, you rats. Say that again.

You said your boss Ahn Ye Rim ordered it, right?

Darn it.

Boss?

Hey, Ahn Ye Rim, you really not coming?

The loser's friend's dad is a prosecutor!

If my dad finds out about this again, I'm dead.

Fine, it's do or die.

I'll spill all your past stuff on your precious InStar.

Then you know your modeling career, or anything else, is over, right?

I don't care if I don't model.

I'll just quit.

You know what makes me better than you?

I can actually take the CSAT and go to college.

Where are you running to?

Unbelievable.

She told you that she's his ex?

You idiot, you actually believed that?

Wow, Ahn Ye Rim's terrifying.

She tricked you into inviting her to SF.

What?

And that punk Nam Gi Jeong.

They work together, so he should've known what she's like.

Jeez.

Nam Gi Jeong didn't tell you anything?

Hey, you might not realize it,

but she's not the type to just run into someone and help them by chance.

She likes me.

- That's why... - I know.

He told me.

He told me, but...

Why would I run?

I'm just heading home.

See you later, Gi Jeong.

The ones at the police station right now,

they're your friends, right?

Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- Right. - And you made them bully U Yeon too?

Yeah.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have touched her.

You should've kept ignoring everyone as usual.

Then maybe I could've given up too.

Why did it have to be that pathetic girl...

Do you know why I hate girls like you?

Because you try to use people's feelings.

You can't earn someone's heart that way.

I feel bad for her too.

I'll apologize if that's what you want, so...

No,

don't apologize.

U Yeon

will accept your apology and even forgive you.

So absolutely not.

And you don't need to apologize to me, either.

What?

Thanks to you, I'll spend my whole life repaying my debt to U Yeon.

For giving me a reason to stay by her side,

thank you,

Ahn Ye Rim.

Sir, please let us go now.

We really didn't do anything wrong.

It's true.

Alright, stop making a scene.

- Is Prosecutor Yeom coming? - Call your guardians now.

Se Ra.

Are you okay?

You should've called your mother. Why me?

I didn't even think about that.

Oh, it's hard.

Hey.

This is weird.

Huh?

What is?

I contacted Gi Jeong.

He could've come by and caused a scene already.

Song, haven't you heard from him?

He didn't come?

You can't reach him, can you?

Se Ra, your mom's coming.

Okay, it's late. Everyone go home.

- Thank you. - Alright.

Bye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Mi Rae, go ahead first.

I have somewhere to be.

- Where? - See you tomorrow.

Huh? At this hour?

- Tae Seon, can you... - Want me to walk you home?

Worry about yourself.

Do you know why I hate girls like you?

Because you try to use people's feelings.

What? Want to hit me?

Was everything they said true?

You heard it already, right?

I want to hear it from you.

Why ask when you already know?

Darn, still pretending to be the good one till the end.

I'm not that nice.

What?

When you asked if I liked Gi Jeong earlier,

I actually hoped you'd just be the bad person.

If you hadn't asked me,

I might never have realized my own feelings.

Thanks,

Ye Rim.

For giving me a reason to stay by her side,

thank you,

Ahn Ye Rim.

I hope you find someone even better than Gi Jeong.

Bye.

Nam Gi Jeong must be so disappointed in me.

I would be too.

Not here, either.

Come to think of it,

Gi Jeong always showed up when I struggled.

- My chicken! - My chicken!

Don't cower if you did nothing wrong.

When I was bullied,

when I struggled with Mom...

If this punishment comes from taking him for granted,

you deserve it, Song U Yeon.

Gi Jeong.

I'm sorry.

I was such a fool.

Why are you the fool?

I'm the fool.

Everything that happened to you is my fault.

Exactly.

I don't mess up spelling for nothing.

It's all because I'm stupid.

What's the point of looking good on the outside?

I didn't even notice you were hurt.

It's okay.

Now that you're here, it doesn't matter.

Really.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, U Yeon.

Now that I think about it,

I was acting really weird today.

You know what adults say?

It's like I was possessed.

I have something to tell you.

I...

I...

I think I like you.

What?

I think I like you too.

Forget it. If you didn't hear me, just leave.

I like you more.

I like you more, U Yeon.

Yeom Se Ra, are you out of your mind?

You had to cause trouble at a time like this?

Stop it.

I never asked you to take care of my child.

Stay out of it.

You don't even care about her. Why interfere?

You think dropping by every six months and acting nice makes up for everything?

Se Ra.

You'll be a senior next year.

I thought you were doing fine alone.

Mom, so you do know I'll be a senior next year.

You've shown so little interest. I figured you wouldn't even know.

Se Ra, what's gotten into you?

What kids take care of themselves like me?

Even though you and Dad both refused to take me in,

I grew up on my own

and never once lost first place in my class.

What more do you want from me?

Se Ra.

Se Ra.

I'm sorry.

Where have you been all this time, huh?

You didn't answer your phone, and you weren't at the study room!

Are you seriously going to keep acting like this?

How long are you going to keep rebelling like this?

So you've decided not to talk at all now?

How long are you going to keep ignoring me?

I'm sorry, Mom.

Something happened with Se Ra and Mi Rae, so I stayed late.

I'm not being rebellious.

Sorry for not answering calls.

Sorry for...

being rude last time too.

I won't do that again.

I'll go shower.

You should cool off too, Mom.

What a day it's been.

Even after living 18 years,

the world is still full of things I don't understand.

Right, Delulu?

I know.

That at some point, Delulu disappeared.

And today I realized

that with or without Delulu,

I've always made decisions that stayed true to myself.

Even if those choices were the wrong ones, as they often were.

Even if that meant facing pain and getting hurt all over again.

Yeah, you heard and you know it.

But you don't care?

Why should I care?

Lies.

What's that got to do with me?

Upon lies...

I spent the day telling lies upon lies.

U Yeon, do you like Gi Jeong?

Huh?

If you hadn't asked me,

I might never have realized my own feelings.

In the end,

I'm someone who always finds a way,

no, someone who knows how to find the best conclusion for myself.

I think I like you.

What?

Even if I don't know much, even if I'm a little slow...

[Would you like to accept the membership?] Eventually,

believing that I'm someone who can actually get there,

that's my way of loving myself.

Even without Delulu,

now

I know.

I don't know anymore.

Me, dating Koo Seon Ho?

No way. No.

Then what if Koo Seon Ho falls in love with some other girl?

Honestly,

that doesn't feel great, either.

You like Koo Seon Ho, don't you?

I do.

Do you feel good when you're with him?

- Of course, I do. - Comfortable?

Very comfortable.

Then you've got a bit of possessiveness toward him, don't you?

Well...

I mean, maybe a little bit.

You kinda want exclusive rights to him too, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

So if Koo Seon Ho gets married, would you be 100% happy for him?

Certainly not 100%, no.

Okay, last question.

Do you get butterflies when you're with him?

You mean, do I get butterflies thinking about him?

[Koo Seon Ho] What's this? It's nearly at dawn.

Today I'll break this elephant curse.

Ugh, seriously.

Jeez.

Why does he look different again?

You're here.

I am.

No chit-chat. Solve it quick.

Solve it.

Ah, I said solve it!

- I can't solve it. - Hey!

Even if I want to solve it, I don't know how.

Oh, so you poisoned me

and now you're saying there's no antidote?

Your choice of words...

Can't you be more romantic?

What romance is there between us?

What?

Why those puppy eyes?

You think I'll fall for that act?

I'm not buying it.

Look at your track record.

Never once wavered.

And your confession to me came so easily, too.

Even if I ran wild with flowers in my hair, you'd watch from above like some deity,

even throwing curses my way.

So confident, huh?

Darn show-off.

Did it look easy for me?

Huh?

It wasn't easy at all.

Every single day, I was shaken and anxious.

If you were me, could you really stay calm?

I'm not some extraordinary guy, you know.

No, I mean...

I honestly don't even know anymore.

It's not that I dislike you.

No, I do like you.

But I just can't picture it.

How could we become lovers?

If we dated, we'd have to...

We'd need to kiss.

I just can't imagine kissing you.

No matter how hard I try,

I can't picture it.

It doesn't even feel real.

A star

grows, little by little, over billions of years.

But when gravity can't withstand its own energy anymore,

then boom, it explodes.

The star

has exploded.

Seon Ho.

We're dating, we're really dating!

Thinking about Gi Jeong just fills you with energy, huh?

- Yeah. - Lacks thrill now.

The adrenaline of almost getting caught...

- A date? - A date?

You got a boyfriend?

- I don't like him. - Hey, squirt.

- Want ice cream? - Yes.

- Come on! - Coolest guy ever.

I'll play the fool a thousand times for you.

Since you started dating that punk...

I've totally forgotten him.

You're so obvious.

Did your parents teach you to lie?

Can't let this slide.

If he starts acting up, give him a good smack.

If you don't have a girlfriend, how about my sister?

He doesn't like me because I'm overweight.
