This apple is good.

If you're going to throw these away, I can take them, right?

I really like apples.

I'm...

going to run away.

I'm going to run away... what's wrong with that?

I'm going to run away...

Most girls look pretty when they cry...

But it really doesn't suit you.

Don't cry...stop.

What's this? The bully and JB are dating?

Really? Show me, show me.

You're so catty.

You...cell phones are prohibited, so how did you bring that in here?

What the heck? How can there be such a ridiculous rule like that?

It's Si Woo.

Kirin Art School prohibition against dating... these two were the ones to break that rule?

That's surprising.

Si Woo!

You've finally returned!

You did well, you did well.

I told you not to be like this when there are a lot of people around.

So cute. I've missed you.

Why are you just getting back?

Were you curious because I wasn't around?

That's why I just came back, why?

Ugh, you drive me nuts.

You're not going to make me upset anymore, right?

Yeah. Yeah...

I'm so proud of you.

Why are you shaking like this?

Are you sick?

You...

don't have to look at me like you feel sorry for me.

Who says I feel sorry for you?

It's because I hate girls that cry.

What's this?

I told you...

I hate when you go around with... dirt stuck on you.

Because you go around like this...

Losers like Shin Hae Sung thinks it's okay and hang all over you.

Who's the one who first said that she's going to join a band with losers like that?

Shin Hae Sung is a loser... but Jin Yoo Jin isn't?

Do you by any chance...have an inferiority complex towards Jin Yoo Jin?

I'm right.

Are you jealous?

That's why...you're purposely doing this so you could hurt me?

If that's the case, you...

are NG. (NG=No good).

You don't know what NG means?

After you got prohibited from performing,

you seem to have lost your mind or something since coming to school...

Needlessly sympathizing with poor girls,

don't stoop below your level.

Because it makes me feel cheap too.

Cheap?

That's right.

All the time that I dated you...

it feels like cheap memories.

Take back those words.

That feeling of passion is just momentary.

A person's heart changes easily.

I'll give you a piece of advice.

Having a weak heart towards a crying girl...

I see you still haven't fixed that.

I told you to take that back.

When I saw that...

I remembered why we broke up.

You being weak hearted...

it was really NG.

I thought you'd changed...

but you're still the same.

I heard even maggots squirm when they're stepped on...

You seem to have a big skill.

Looking so sad over a simple apple... I'm sure is not easy.

My father worked hard to farm those apples and send them to me.

So don't be careless about what you say about those apples.

Does your father know too?

That you use his apples to seduce a man.

I know I did wrong.

It's a mistake that I made because I'm lacking...

So can't you just forgive me?

As a friend?

Friend?

You...just because we go to the same school, and share the same room,

you seem to be seriously mistaken.

I'm not your friend.

Stop pretending to pack your bags, and if you're going to leave, just leave.

I'm going to leave even if it's just because I don't want to see you.

So don't worry.

It's the best news I've heard.

Even if you leave...

If you can help it, don't wear that shirt.

There's no reason to announce to everyone that you're an ugly duckling.

It messes with my mind because I see two of your faces when you wear that.

Did something happen?

Why are you tormenting your guitar like that?

No, it's nothing. I'm trying to edit the song Hae Sung wrote.

If you play the guitar like that...

Does it help release some of your stress?

Do you want to try the guitar?

A little stronger. This is...A minor.

I...have something to talk to him about...

Can you give us a moment?

Just say it now.

When we were practicing for the street performance...

I'm sorry for just leaving the way I did.

No.

It actually was a good thing.

When Rian sang, it was much better anyways.

Are you still...really mad at me?

Me getting mad at you is a waste of time.

If anything, I'm thankful for what you did.

Just think about if you ran away like that at the actual performance.

Just thinking about it is frightening.

I guess.

I guess?

That's all you've got to say?

You...what is the real reason that you want to become a singer?

If you don't have the talent, you should at least have passion for it!

Just what the heck is your deal?

Is causing inconvenience to others that enjoyable?!

-Do you have to talk to me... -You cry in front of just anyone.

You beg to get sympathy.

By any chance, are you...

purposely pretending to be that sad because you're trying to seduce guys?

You don't even know anything about me...

So how can you say something like that?

No. I think I know enough.

The reason why in all those years that you auditioned, why you never passed...

I know it so well, but why don't you know?

Pretending to be sad, suffering, and in pain...

I can't help and comfort you anymore.

Stop it.

Because there's no longer any reason for you to help and comfort me anymore.

The recorder.

Give me back the recorder before you leave.

Why are you saying things that you don't mean?

I'm sorry.

I'll teach you how to play the guitar some other time.

I know...that you were mean to me... because you wanted to teach me a lesson.

That's what you thought I'd say, right?

You dirty, rotten, scummy bastard.

You swing from this side to that like a crazy jerk,

What about me?

What about me? Do you think it's easy to be disrespected?

People like you who were born with it...

I wonder if I'm bipolar.

Why do I have such serious mood swings?

I'm like that too.

Even in a single day, I feel happy and sad, and it goes back and forth like that.

When do you feel like that?

When she's not within my sight, I get nervous...

but when I see her, I get happy.

And when I see her with another man... I get...really angry.

Her?

You're talking about Nana, right?

You like her, right?

No...whatever man...

You're totally caught.

Did you fall for her while singing together?

I knew it the moment you kept on smiling even when you had all your parts stolen by her.

What an amateur...

I'm not an amateur.

Not being able to divide your parts,

because of your one sided love is being an amateur.

What else do you think is being an amateur?

It's not a one sided love.

She...likes me too.

Hey, how can you even think that?

'So cute! So cute!' She did that to me.

A girl telling a guy that he's cute is the same thing as telling him she likes him.

Nana that girl... did that to Si Woo, and just about everybody.

I can't believe you're getting pissy as a man.

I'm not even sleepy, so I'm going to practice.

Hello.

I'm a third year student at Kirin Art School, and the name is Shin Hae Sung.

Hae as in the ocean. Sung as in the star.

A star hidden within the ocean.

Although I haven't been able to perform upon this stage...

It's okay.

Because there will be a day, that I'll shine like the stars in the sky.

Miss Hae Sung.

Are you... really planning on leaving Kirin Art School?

Yes.

I'm going to stop being a star, and search for another avenue.

In that case, Miss Hae Sung...

Other than being a singer...

Other than being a singer...

Has there been a time you've thought of becoming anything else?

No.

No.

I...other than becoming a singer, I've never thought of becoming anything else.

Next is number 314, Jang Ho Jae.

Ho Jae...

Ho Jae, you should look for another avenue, instead of just wasting your time.

There are...no other avenues for me.

What?

Save me.

If I fail here... I'm just going to kill myself.

-Think of it as you're saving a life... -Ho Jae.

Ho Jae?

You getting down on your knees is the thing of the past now.

You're the fifth one to do that just today. You know that?

They all said they're going to kill themselves.

How can I save all of you?

Just leave now.

Next!

Did you say your name was Jang Ho Jae?

Music isn't something you can make happen just because you study hard for it.

Inspiration, talent, and emotion that you're born with...

You need things like that.

Don't half assedly try to imitate others just because it looks cool.

Why don't you have any self confidence for someone who says he can dance?

Your shoulders are sagging too.

Here. straighten your shoulders.

Straighten your back.

Straighten your chest.

And tuck your chin in.

Confidently. Cleanly, and confidently!

When I saw you playing the guitar earlier, your back was too bent over.

Watch me. Be confident...

G minor...this G minor is mine. Because I have confidence about it.

Sam Dong.

I want to have a cell phone, and a date.

Why do I want to do all the things that are prohibited so badly?!

What do I do...?

Time to sleep. I should get some sleep.

What the heck?

Who turned the lights off?

It's lights off. All the lights go off at midnight.

What the heck? How can there be rules like that?

Doesn't she know any of the rules...whatever...

Anyways...why isn't my Hae Sung here?

Why isn't she here?

Did you say something to her again?!

Whenever something happens, is it because of my doing?

There are few truths that don't change in this world.

If I hurt someone, it'll be returned to me twofold.

So...before you're struck down by lightning, stop tormenting her!

Seriously...

What have I done?!

Seriously...

Hey, you little wench.

Go out right now and find Shin Hae Sung!

I don't want to hear her chattering all night.

What?

Is there anything that you're not comfortable with?

What kind of a school is this?

I know I'm crazy, but all the others are just as crazy.

There you go again...speaking so crass.

Use of cell phones is prohibited.

What kind of a rule is that?

Why don't you stop with the childish acts, dad.

If I tell them not to do it, they shouldn't do it.

And...

Seriously so annoying.

Who is it?

What brings you here?

Coming to my room in the morning.

Is Shin Hae Sung here?

I have something for her.

What's this?

Hello to myself.

What's this?

You're going to give her something that you wrote?

To Shin Hae Sung?!

Is she not in the room?

She left last night.

Because the girl in front of you was being so mean to her.

Hey!

Hey, Hae Sung!

Shin Hae Sung!

Isn't he your friend?

Let's go, father.

You fool.

Even if you're going to leave, take this with you.

You just took it away...

Let's just go, father.

What have you done so wrong that you're running away like this?

Are you going to act like a fool to the end?

Father...please just go.

Listen to this.

You have to listen to it.

You have to. You have to!

What I said wasn't all truth.

You should have read between the lines, you fool.

How could he be like that to the end?

He's the real fool.

Does he like you?

It's not like that...father.

The student I was telling you about earlier, is this student.

Jin Yoo Jin?

Nice to meet you.

Who are you?

An art student doesn't even know our country's best composer?

This is Producer Shin Jae In.

You know the song you wrote a while ago?

After listening to that, he said he wanted to train you.

Think of him as your teacher from now on, and be good.

My song?

I don't let just anyone hear my song.

How did you hear it?

Ah...the composing homework that I gave to the other kids.

It's nothing special.

I wrote it as a joke, so why are great people like you paying attention to that?

I...

am going to live doing the music that I want to do.

So, I would like for you to stop paying attention to me.

It's like seeing a baby tiger.

It's really fun.

It's a baby tiger that doesn't listen well. Please take care of him.

I'll have to support him.

Unlike with kids who listen very well, but don't have any talent...

it's worth raising kids with talent, who don't listen very well.

I didn't know she would transfer out of here so quickly either.

I have something I have to give to her.

Is it something important?

Yes.

Her hometown is Chungjoo.

Have it delivered to her.

Where do you want to go?

Truthfully, I really like zoos.

Zoos?

What the heck? What are you doing here?

Speaking of that, what are you doing?

Why are you opening up someone's car door without even asking?

Go to the high-speed bus terminal right now.

It's urgent.

Do you think I went to America and got my license to become your chauffer?

I told you that it's urgent.

Why do you want to go to the high-speed bus terminal?

Is something going on?

I won't ask about what's going on between you two,

so don't ask me anything either. And don't misunderstand either.

There's nothing to misunderstand about us.

We're...just going for a drive in the area.

Because I said I was feeling caged in, so Si Woo said he'll get me some fresh air.

The fact that Si Woo doesn't let just anyone ride in his car...even I know that.

I let anyone in my car.

You're in my car right now too.

You can look at these marked notes as the base,

you'll take these cords as the configuration.

And you'll include special instances likes this,

What are you going to do with your boredom now?

The person you torment is gone.

Can you be quiet?

Did I say something wrong?

You always tormented her so that she couldn't even sleep.

Is it my fault that she left?

Then...who else is here besides you?

You're the one who had her bullied.

Is bullying something that can be done just because one person asks for it to be done?

You abandoned her too.

Oh my my... how can you say something like that?

Seriously...we're friends that can't be replaced by anyone!

Ugh, seriously.

I can't concentrate because you're being so loud.

Teach.

Why don't we stop the class?

What?

Why...are you dissatisfied with the class?

What's the reason Shin Hae Sung transferred?

The kids are all busy talking about that right now...

So are you going to keep the class going by yourself?

Yes.

She's right...

We didn't even properly say goodbye to Hae Sung.

But you don't even tell us anything. You're being too harsh.

-He's right. -He's right.

-Why did she leave? What is it? -Why did she transfer?

Why did Hae Sung transfer out of here?

A friend disappears without even a word...

Would you just stand still if it were you?

What happened?

That is...

To my cherished friends.

Because I was afraid I won't be able to leave if I saw your face,

so I'm saying goodbye through a letter instead.

I don't think I'll ever forget the time I've spent with you guys.

Genius singer Park Hong Joo who sings a song whenever we're going through a tough time.

Ui Bong, the best dancing machine at Kirin Art School.

My friend Soon Dong who was always like my talisman.

And...

Even though he's always going back and forth, Yoo Jin who has loyalty.

Even though I feel saddened that I can't hear your songs close by...

No matter how hard things were for me,

whenever I heard you guys sing, I always felt a surge of strength.

But I'm sure you'll all become famous soon, and appear on television, right?

Because you guys are really amazing.

Even though this is the end of my dream, you guys have to make sure to realize yours.

Park Hong Joo, are you crying?

Ui Bong, you too?

Why is everyone being like this today?

Yoo Jin.

Hae Sung wrote this letter and left.

I don't think she's ever really going to come back.

What are you doing right now?!

Shin Hae Sung isn't going to transfer... so don't cry.

Today's performance...

I'm going to make it into a project to get Shin Hae Sung back.

I wrote it so that she can come back...

So just think about how you're going to convince her when she comes.

Shin Hae Sung...

Do you have a guarantee that she'll come?

You don't trust me?

Then...

we just have to do well at the performance, right?

What is it?

The day has finally arrived.

What day?

I've put a band together.

The name is Kirin Art School-Yang Jin Man Road Band.

JMY!

It's a street band.

Don't just think of it that way.

You may think of the beginning as being weak, but the end as being a huge lively thing.

So to keep it simple, we're starting on the streets.

And why do I need to see that?

I taught the kids really well.

They're a little lacking in practice, but their basics are really solid.

You'll be really shocked if you see the reactions from the crowds.

You're asking who did all this? I did it.

You're not even a kid... but do you like being complimented that much?

What I'm saying...is if you saw it...

compliments could come out automatically...

Why don't we go?

So you're going to come?!

I bet the leader of the band that teacher put together is Jin Yoo Jin.

Then I guess things could progress faster than we had thought.

Yes.

Hey Rian.

Is it fun going to school?

I guess.

But...what brings you to school?

I'm thinking of making the best band this country has ever seen.

I'm in the process of discussing it with Director Lee.

We're thinking of drafting a Super Idol through an audition process.

From our school?

Is that why...you talked to Jin Yoo Jin?

That guy? I'm keeping my eye on him.

I heard he's performing later on tonight, so I'm going to see his potential.

What about HershE and Eden?

Then what happens to us?

I don't know that far ahead myself.

But from my perspective...

you guys are all the same - contestants to become the Super Idol.

I'll be performing with them tonight.

Please keep an eye on me too.

Really?

Okay, I'll watch.

You quit school to cook at the chicken shop... are things better now?

Go! Go! Aren't you going to go to school?!

Stop interrupting my work, and please go, customer, okay?

Just why did you pick me?

What?

If you were to just throw me away like this after picking me,

why did you pick me at all?

If a principal picks a student, he should take responsibility for him...

Just what are you babbling about now?

What?

Since a teacher is throwing away a student, the student is throwing away school!

I'm seriously going to go crazy.

What is this?

If you don't come today...

I'm going to quit school too.

Did you go to school for me or something?

Hey, let's get things straight.

You keep saying that I threw the school away, or cast it aside or whatever...

I got fired.

I definitely warned you.

It's at 6 o'clock.

I'm not the principal!

What an absurd boy.

What now?

Hello.

What are you doing here?

I...think I've caused trouble, teacher.

Hae Sung...said she's going to quit the school because of me.

I got jealous of teacher Hyun taking over my students.

You know the feeling of wanting to scold your own kids rather than others doing it, right?

I got it, so just keep going. Hurry, hurry.

I...imitated teacher Hyun.

Really strongly.

And in front of Hae Sung's father too.

And after that, yesterday she all of a sudden said she's going to quit school...!

I really didn't know things would turn out this way either!

I did it to do a good job...

I don't even know who to turn to...

Did I...ruin a student's life?

So why did you do that which is so unlike how you usually are...?!

I'm not even the principal or anything, so what can I do?

Where is Hae Sung right now?

Was Hae Sung's home in Choongjoo?

With so many people, how are we going to find Shin Hae Sung?

She's a little built.

Look around for girls who are well built.

Where did you say her home was? Choongjoo? Chungjoo?

Choongjoo.

Why does he want me to listen to this?

There's nothing but my voice.

The bus is here.

Let's go.

We need to talk.

Who are you?!

My greetings are late, father.

I'm Hae Sung's friend, JB.

That JB?

Hae Sung's boyfriend?

Father...he's just a friend.

A male friend.

I came...to give you this.

If you came with the thought to take my Hae Sung back, you're already too late.

Don't make her confused again after she put so much effort into making this decision.

I want to study in the same classroom with Hae Sung.

Hae Sung will do well from now on.

So...

please allow her to keep doing music.

I'm sure you can say those nice things since you're Hae Sung's boyfriend.

However...

If she was that talented, why would she have suffered so for 3 years?

How bad must it have been for the teacher to call the student's parent,

and tell me to take her back because she has no talent?

I'm really sorry for having said that to you.

I came to tell you that I'm sorry.

I...made a mistake.

Father...why don't we talk for a bit?

We came after receiving a report. Please show us your I.D.

Do you...order police around too?

You know what to do, right?

Yes. Then I'll be right back.

I don't know if he's foolish or naive...

All I did was report to the police that they were loud,

what police did I order around?

Because he's naive...he listens so well...

It's kind of cute.

If you were going to come to hold onto her,

you shouldn't have said hurtful things to her.

Yes, you're right father.

I'm sorry...but Hae Sung is 19 years old now.

If she's 19, she's more than age to find what her special talents are.

-Special talents? -Yes.

It's not important whether my Hae Sung has any special talents or not.

I didn't send her to Kirin Art School because I thought she was going to be a singer.

Excuse me?

Because...she wanted to do it so badly.

Because she said if it wasn't that, she'd just die.

Even if she gives up, I wanted her to at least give it a try, so I left her alone.

Father...

The whole 3 years that she attended that school...

not even once...

not even once did she come home looking jubilant.

Every time looking like a dried up plant that lost all its energy...

But even then...

Every night, so that she can become a singer, she practiced without me knowing.

If you had known how sincere Hae Sung's heart was...

you teachers...would have never been able to say anything bad to Hae Sung.

When you're like this in front of her parents...

How cruel must you have been to the students in the past 3 years at school?!

No. Father, how about you think of it like this?

That we've never recognized Hae Sung's talents in the past.

Huh?

-You said you didn't recognize it? -Yes.

Father...

Father...

Stand right here...and sing!

Excuse me?

Father.

Out of all these people...

If there's at least one person who recognizes her talent...

I'll concede.

Father. This isn't right. Don't do this.

Go ahead and sing! Now!

You going there thinking you're good...

don't you even think it's unfair?

You working yourself to death, and never once being able to use it,

you don't even think it's unfair?

As your father...

do you think that I wish for you not to succeed?

Who do you think is the one that wishes for you to do well more than anyone else?

Let's go back home right now.

There's nothing else to see anymore.

This is so cool.

Teach...you've got some skills.

This is nothing...

This is a broadcast.

I won't do it.

Why?!

Yeah, why aren't you doing it?

At such a good opportunity like this...

That's right. It's all been our wish to be broadcasted once.

It may be that for you guys, but I'm not like that.

This was a performance that we were going to do for Shin Hae Sung.

If we perform here...Hae Sung can't come.

She'll see it being broadcasted.

Hey, it's more touching to see it on air than seeing it in person.

And...this isn't just for Hae Sung, but it's a performance for the principal too.

And you...you said you even sent an invitation to the principal.

Yeah. Let's show the principal a really awesome sight of us, so that he'll come back.

Hey. Are you really going to be like this when I worked so hard to get you guys this?

These guys say it's their lifelong wish to be on air once.

Why are you just thinking of yourself?

Fine! I'll do it. I'll just do it.

Oh yeah. Does anyone know the principal's number?

We have to let him know that the location has been changed to here.

I know the number. I'll send him a text. Let's just do the last rehearsal.

Okay.

Teach. The location has been changed to KBC Radio Broadcasting center.

Make sure to come.

If you don't come, I'm really going to quit school.

We're going to sing this as an encore.

So you all practice on your own.

What's this? I haven't seen this before.

I came because I was worried about you guys.

Who's going to sing if I'm not here?

I'm a member of this band too.

Yoo Jin sent me a text to let me know that the location has been changed.

Just when did she think she's become chummy with us?

It's a song that Hae Sung wrote.

I just edited it a little so that it suits the band.

Hello to myself.

What's this?

You're going to give her a song that you composed?

To Shin Hae Sung?!

You definitely won't regret coming. We've really practiced a lot.

Yes...

Stupid.

You can play the piano well.

After listening to it again... your song is nice.

It's really nice.

We're going to perform your song at 6 o'clock tonight.

Come no matter what... and sing it.

It's your song.

I'll be waiting.

The name of the band is unique.

You said it represents the spirit of Kirin Art School?

Yes.

There's an idol of mine that taught me the spirit of rock when I was little.

Rock is rebellion!

You have to live saying what you want to say. You shouldn't let your spirit die.

Kirin Art School...

Was the spirit of rock itself.

My idol when I was little...

Was Principle Joo Jung Wan.

Ah, the leader of the Milky Galaxy, Joo Jung Wan?

Yes.

Why is he going overboard saying he honored me and everything?

But that person betrayed me.

No...he betrayed us all and left.

Because an agency swallowed up our school.

A school that was a place to freely grow our dreams,

became a rehearsal studio for the agency.

And in the midst of all the prohibitive rules, all our dreams were being strangled.

Seeing the students lose their confidence among the idol standards,

all he did was just stand by and watch.

Even though he speaks like this...

it's all his cute way of expressing his affection towards the principal.

Yes, Rian of HershE. It's really been awhile.

How have you been?

It's Rian.

As you can see...I'm enjoying the school life.

And I'm learning to compose things I haven't learned in the past.

When did she ever learn to compose?

Wow. Composing? That's awesome. Will we be able to hear one here?

Rian, Rian...

Isn't this Rian's voice?

I guess the radio is going to broadcast the kids' performance today.

Rian is composing too...who knew?

That's...Shin Hae Sung's song.

The dream that you wanted so bad...

I'm still here falling, crying, and hurt from exhaustion...

So I don't even have any strength...

But I'm sure you'll smile as you look at me...

Hello to myself...hello to myself!

Will you comfort me and tell me not to cry?

Hello to myself...hello to myself!

Will you tell me that I can do it?

Hello...hello...don't cry...

Hello...hello...stand up...

How are you...that you're making your dreams come true...

This...is my song.

I wrote this song.

Will you remember me who used to dream...?

Hello to myself, hello to myself... will you comfort me and tell me not to cry.

Hello...hello...smile...

Hello to myself, hello to myself... will you smile as you think of me...

You...

are NG.

Let go of this hand and talk. People are watching.

You...weren't this bad.

I told you to let go.

Answer me.

Why did you do it?

What did I do?

You knew that it was Shin Hae Sung' song.

Did you do it on purpose because you knew I had interest in that song?

Did you have to steal that one last thing from her?!

Because I was jealous of the two of you...

I stole her song?

Don't you think that's a little childish?

You know that's not what I meant!

The only thing she has is passion for her music.

And you've taken her hope until the end.

Do you know what a ruthless thing you've just done?

I'm ruthless?

Hope?

I don't have the room to worry about other people's hopes!

Think of it from her point of view.

The feeling of getting what's yours taken from you...

-You know what that's like. - I know. I know it very well!

That if I don't take it, I'll have it taken away.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Right now...even as you are... you shine brightly enough.

No.

No matter how bright of a star you are...

if it can't be seen, it's quickly forgotten.

Did you know?

Director Lee...is going to make a new group.

I think instead of you... he's going to pick Jin Yoo Jin.

Unlike you...I'm not going to get my place taken from me with my eyes wide open.

-Are you okay? -The bus is already on the road anyways.

It feels like I graduated. I feel like I've received my diploma.

What's this about? Without even saying a word to me?

Kirin Art School's Super Idol, Jin Yoo Jin.

I'm going to make you into this country's top star.

The one that shined at the performance yesterday wasn't Jin Yoo Jin, but me.

You've never given us proof that you're skilled not even once.

Do you not know how to tell what's yours from mine?

Is it because you're envious?

Hurting people like you do is a game of sorts.

Do you like her?

I like you.
