Episode 9

I had a best friend ever since the day I was born.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

- Clap. - Blow it out.

- I want to. - No, me.

- No, me. - No, me.

Geez.

Blow it out together.

Every single moment, we laughed together,

and cried together; she was the other me.

Stupid, the wolf could be in disguise.

You can't just go in there.

But what if it's really grandma?

We have to go inside and check.

No, we have to wait outside

and go in with the hunter.

What if the wolf eats grandma while we wait?

We were similar, yet very different.

Suah was the smart one,

and didn't trust people easily or take dangerous chances.

Are you going to read that all day?

Stop chattering and eat.

Look, it's the wolf.

If you'd gone inside, you would've been eaten too.

Still...

I was the naïve one, quick to believe,

and even if a wolf was waiting inside,

I was the type who'd go in anyway.

My belief was always strong.

But that belief has started to waver.

I guess you don't know.

Before Suah died,

she was at the W Hotel with him.

And someone was waiting

in the room that he reserved.

What do you think that means?

I know you don't want to believe it.

But the truth has to be told.

Look what he did to Suah.

And now he's trying to use you and that makes me angry.

Call me if you change your mind.

And...

Don't trust him too much.

Mr. Kang.

What kind of person are you?

Really? Wow.

- You didn't know? - That's amazing.

I just heard, Mr. Kang.

Our third mission.

You really got a new song from the famous Melody Bro?

The girls will be so excited.

You didn't tell the girls, did you?

What? Of course not.

I'm not that stupid.

It's a secret until the announcement.

Right, a secret.

Yeseul knows what she's doing.

Guys, the show is starting!

Hi, I'm BJ Coco.

Today's the day of the second mission

for the Real Girl Project.

I wonder what they'll show us today.

I can't wait. Let's go take a look.

Go, go, go!

The second mission is singing

a boy group song in their own unique style.

The Debut Team...

Fight on, Yukika! I'm rooting for you!

has chosen BTOB's "Second Confession."

Can't wait to see what they'll do.

- Cute. -They're good.

So cute! This concept suits them!

They're good.

Yukika is really cute! I want to hug her.

This concept suits Youngjoo!

Goddess Youngjoo! Look over here!

Wow! I like Sori! She's the prettiest!

Hmph. They're not talking about me.

Let's debut this time, Youngjoo! Fight on, Taeri!

Aren't you watching?

Oh, yeah.

The comments are a lot better...

Our girls are really cute.

Right? Right?

Will you please be quiet...

- The Rookies are starting. - Next up are the Rookies.

Don't even try.

Will they overcome their previous mistake and show us a great performance?

Let's just watch.

Take a look at the Rookie Team's "Growl."

How annoying. They're doing "Growl"?

I'm leaving and coming back later.

We haven't started yet. That's so mean.

Don't read the comments. They're all kids anyway.

Wow, they look great.

They've really turned it around

and the comment board is on fire.

So hot!

Who will win the second mission?

High five.

New charm! Strong characters are the best!

The performances are over.

It's hard to tell who did better.

It's up to you to decide.

So don't forget to vote! Go, go, go!

Debut Team VS Rookie Team, 783 VS 753

We won again. Feels great, right?

All the comments are about you.

Yeah...

I'm so happy.

You guys did great, too.

The comments are a lot better.

Right?

Still, you lost. It's a competition.

And the Debut Team won again.

They had a great idea

and the short clips were good too.

It helped bring in more votes.

See. I told you we'd win.

But I need to point out one thing.

Last time, you won overwhelmingly.

But this time, you won by only 30 votes.

What do you think that means?

If you don't find out, you may be on a winning streak now,

but you can't be optimistic about next time.

Understood?

- Yes. - Yes.

Dismissed.

Goodbye.

You should be an idol singer.

If you do, I'll tell you what happened to Suah a year ago.

Not the gossip, but the truth.

That's what you want to know, right?

What is it?

You said you'd tell me.

About what happened a year ago.

And?

You want that answer already?

You think you've become a singer

after two web broadcasts and a few articles?

No, that's not why.

Don't kid yourself. You still have a long way to go.

If you already think you're something, you're wrong.

You'll never get the answer you want.

I understand.

Still, your idea for the song was good.

Excuse me?

Thanks for proving that I wasn't wrong.

It was so close.

Zero, zero, zero...

Debut Team VS Rookie Team, Mission 2

Bang, bang.

5, 2, 3, 4....

- 4. - 4.

I have a good feeling today.

Youngjoo 10 / Jane 6 Sori 6 / Yukika 6 / Taeri 2

Don't feel down. We still have three missions left.

You heard what Mr. Kang said.

They just barely won this time.

Yeah.

We just have to win the rest.

- Fight on. - Fight on.

Come on.

Why am I fourth? It doesn't make any sense.

I'm so upset.

Then what would you be happy with?

First? Second?

Still, I was better than Yukika...

No. You saw the comments.

Yukika did a lot better than you this time.

You have to accept that.

If you think it's unfair, work harder. Don't complain.

- I wasn't complaining... - Jane.

We're going to end the competition with the third mission.

So pull yourself together.

Should we eat? I'll cook something.

No thanks.

Taeri.

Jiseuri, when did you get back?

If you're going to say my name, stick to one thing.

What the heck is Jiseuri?

It's a nickname.

I'm sorry about last time.

For decorating without asking you.

Forget it. I'm just here to check the results.

What for? We're all a zero.

See ya.

- Don't go. Sleep over. - What the heck?

- Stop it. Let go. - Sleep here.

I don't have a bed.

You will. I was going to change it tomorrow.

Actually, I'll call someone right now.

Forget it.

You have that much money?

Just leave it.

It'll be uncomfortable sharing a bed,

but I'll try to make do.

Jiseuri!

- Let go. - I'm so happy.

- Okay, okay. - Let's go to bed.

Okay, so stop it.

- Sleep here. - Okay, okay.

What did you say?

That's ridiculous.

And Suah would never do something like that.

I know, but...

I heard the rumors too.

But they were wrong.

The case was closed after that.

Why are you bringing this up?

I met a reporter.

She said something about the case.

What did she say?

That Mr. Kang made Suah...

Forget it, I know what you're trying to say.

Why don't you just go and ask him?

Just do that.

I want to.

But I don't think I should.

I'd be asking him if he was really a bad wolf.

- Suji... - And besides...

I've decided to wait.

He said he'll tell me in time.

You idiot!

So you're just going to stew over it?

I don't know.

What's wrong with me?

Are you avoiding me?

I'll give you another song.

Or I can introduce you to another song writer.

No, I need that song.

You know I've never asked for anything.

Shinhyuk.

I know that song was meant for my girls.

So please. Don't you trust me?

Be honest. Are you talking with someone else?

Who?

Well...

Hey, I'm here.

What? Y Entertainment?

Suah, what should I do?

Ow, my back.

There are no secrets here, Mari.

He's never on time.

I thought rich people could last three years even after they go bankrupt.

What's up with you? You have to walk around now?

Right, you haven't changed.

Why did you want to see me?

To show off your car?

You really want that song?

Just give it to me.

Why would I do that?

No way in hell.

That song isn't right for Red Queen. They've changed styles a long time ago.

Just focus on yourself instead of my girls.

I've seen what you've been doing with a bunch of losers.

To be fair, Youngjoo and the Debut Team aren't that bad.

But Suji? That fake Suah.

What's the deal with her and the Rookies?

A rapper, a Thai girl, a tomboy, and a common girl.

You've got a ragtag team.

Tsk, tsk. I pity you.

I didn't know you were so interested in them.

Nice to have friends.

No, that's not...

Whatever, just go.

What?

Giving up already? That's no fun.

You want fun? Go to your office.

What?

I heard Shinhyuk said the song was a no.

Just kill it.

I told you to get the girls on TV, not this.

Get out.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Kang. The boss just killed the song

that Mr. Yang brought in.

The real problem is JD Entertainment, not Jongshik Yang.

What?

JD debuted a team this year.

Harriet, a female duet.

They want this song for them.

They said they'd pay double.

Surprised?

Yes, a little.

Why are you still here?

I made some tea but I had no one to drink it with.

It'll calm you down. Would you like some?

Yes.

It's a full moon tonight.

It's so big and bright.

What do you see on the moon?

You mean a rabbit?

Is that what the moon reminds you of?

Not for me.

Are you sure it really looks like a rabbit?

I think so.

Are you sure it's not a woman with long hair?

Or a crab?

Excuse me?

Everybody believes that the moon looks like a rabbit

because it's what they learned.

But here's the interesting part.

Although it's the same moon,

in Eastern Europe, people say it's a woman with long hair.

In Southern Europe, a dog.

In some countries, a lion.

And in other countries, a girl reading a book.

Really?

Would you like to look again?

Oh! I see it.

That white part is a woman's face.

It looks like eyes and lips....

That looks like a claw.

Wow. Why does it all look different?

Because your heart is telling you what to see.

What?

Depending on how you look at something,

the same shape becomes a woman

or a lion or a rabbit or a dog.

The heart wins the mind.

Belief is that simple.

Do you really have to do that song?

Our CEO really likes it.

I can't persuade him.

He's already saying he'll tell the press it's the lead song.

Do I really have to look for another song?

The person I trust the most besides you

is Mr. Kang.

You'll see why when you meet him.

There was sincerity in his eyes.

That's why my heart began to beat

and made me want to run again.

I'll be your guiding light.

Stupid.

You know you want to trust him.

What are you doing?

Why are you so spaced out?

A guiding light...

You were a guiding light for Suah, weren't you?

What?

No, she didn't need a guiding light.

Then what?

Well... Maybe I was a life vest.

Not like I would've let her fall into the sea in the first place.

I trust you too.

What?

So help me keep on running.

Okay?

I trust you too.

So help me keep on running.

Harriet, a female duet following in the footsteps of Davichi?

JD Entertainment CEO Sungil Park "Digging one well"

Gyunghun, do you still have that song from before?

What's wrong with you?

Jane.

What's wrong?

Hey, guys!

What are you doing here? Where's Mr. Kang?

He's busy today so I came instead.

I'm the head manager after all.

Head what?

Since when?

What?

We just ended a mission.

Can't we just skip it today?

- Yeah. - Please.

No way.

He wants me to record this session and send it to him.

- Oh, please. - Oh.

And starting today, Mr. Kang wants you

to start your individual training.

- Individual training? - What's that?

Jane. Sori.

Mint. Smile.

Why do we have to do this?

Sir, please give that song to us.

What?

I reviewed it and the song's range

is too big for a duet.

It's a song for a group.

I just need to tweak it a little.

This song will be better for them.

It's from the same writer, and I came up with a concept for the album.

I'm sure it'll be of use.

If you go with this song and concept, it'll be a huge hit.

Why are you doing all this?

Is that song so important?

It makes me want to hold on to it even more.

Yes, it's important.

It's not a good fit for Harriet,

but it'll be a great asset for my girls.

Do I have to change the mission?

You finally got the song?

Song Writer Gwangwon Goh I want to listen, too.

Really? JD backed off?

Yes. I don't know what's gotten into my boss,

but he gave me the okay to give it to you.

Yes!

I didn't know you could be so enthusiastic.

I'll call you later.

What? Get on inside.

We still have 30 minutes before practice.

What's up with him? Is he sick?

Weird.

Right. 30 minutes left.

Wow. It's great.

I love it.

This is really our song?

The third mission is composition.

Choose a concept that suits your team,

and you're free to rearrange the song.

However, you have to write the lyrics

and complete the song.

Really?

The lyrics?

It can be about anything.

The stage, the lyrics,

you make all the decisions.

This song will be recorded on your debut album.

Be prepared. You're dismissed.

Thank you!

Sounds fun.

How about we do something light and cheerful this time?

I really liked the Debut Team's performance last time.

Yeah, they looked really girly.

And they got great comments.

Okay. Then what about lyrics?

Has anyone written lyrics before?

What? No one?

Then what do we do?

I can't believe that song is going to be ours.

Yeah, it feels like our song. I love it.

Hm? Hm?

I don't think it's that great.

What? You said you liked it too.

Come on. What should we do this time?

In my opinion...

Based on the mood of the song,

we should focus on the emotions of a girl's first love.

Huh?

It's similar to Red Queen's first single.

It was a major hit, remember?

Oh, yeah.

It's a song that Mr. Kang himself produced.

With this concept, we won't fail.

I disagree.

Why do we always have to be girly?

We can be charismatic and cool, too.

Jane, stop complaining.

We can't afford to take chances right now.

We barely won by 30 votes last time.

Come on. We still won.

You're happy that we beat those beginners?

You should be embarrassed.

You're the one who should be embarrassed.

What?

I'm right, aren't I? You're the one who gave them "Growl"

just so you could win.

You wanted them to screw up.

But who knew they'd be so good?

Isn't that why you're so nervous?

What you did was low,

and now you feel like you could really lose.

- Are you done? - No.

Stop it. Let's not fight.

I'm not doing this.

People are going to get sick of us in no time.

Why? I like being girly.

Apink and Girlfriend always have the same look but they're popular.

That's because...

Enough. Stop complaining.

You're only saying this because you think it'll work against you.

What?

If you're not good enough, practice harder.

Don't blame the concept.

Or you can leave if you don't like it.

I'm right.

I'm never wrong.

What the... You scared me!

I knew it.

Why didn't you say anything before?

It's just something I wrote when I was young. I can't write lyrics.

- Come on, let's go inside. - No, no.

Lonely

Jane, that's great.

You should be a webtoon artist not a singer.

Then what about a singer that draws webtoons?

- Nice? - That's good too.

Hold on.

Guys, look what Jane drew for me.

It's great, right?

- Jane, can you draw one for me too? - Me too.

Okay. You guys like me too much.

Me too.

- One more. - Me too.

The face is crooked.

Jane! It's been so long!

I just wondered how you were doing.

How have you been?

You know me. I'm either at school or at home.

How about you? Still training?

Yeah...

I thought you'd debut soon after you quit school.

I'm sure you'll get your chance soon. Chin up.

Yeah.

Where are you? You want to meet up? Let's go get something to eat.

- Sangmin! - Sangmin, hurry up!

Sorry. I'm on a school trip.

My friends are calling me. Gotta go. Sorry.

Sure, no problem.

What are you doing here alone?

Are you here for coffee?

No, I was just... scribbling.

Must be nice.

If I'd stayed in school,

I'd have been there, too.

If you're not good enough, practice harder.

Don't blame the concept.

Or you can leave if you don't like it.

Minsung, this is Sori. Did you see Jane yesterday?

She didn't call?

Does she have any friends?

No.

Thanks.

What's going on?

Jane's not back.

What?
