Episode 15

From the moment we were born we were always together,

and for 19 Christmases, it was always just the two of us.

But then Suah debuted as Red Queen, and the more popular she became,

the more time I had to spend on my own.

Suji, I'm sorry. I have to record all night.

I don't think I can leave.

I thought I'd be able to see you today...

Who? Me?

Suah!

Surprise!

It's me.

I'm your Christmas present.

Tarts?

Yeah.

But that was our last Christmas together.

The Late Suah Lee

Merry Christmas!

I added a lot of Red Queen's no. 1 energy,

so wear these and become no.1! Fight on!

Suah.

What's your Christmas wish?

I don't have one.

It's not like it'll come true anyway.

Every time I tried to start over,

obstacles stood in my way.

Thinking it'll never be

I cry like a fool alone

Suah.

Just two hours. No, one hour.

I'll come right back.

Come with me.

Mr. Kang. I promised my sister.

I know. Come with me.

What?

You do this every Christmas.

Hurry up. Before I change my mind.

Okay.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Thank you.

Mr. Kang.

You're done? Good work.

Yeah, I'm going to call it a night.

Yeah.

By the way, did you get Yeseul's text?

The girls are having a party on the rooftop. Are you going?

No, I need to go somewhere after I make a quick stop at my house.

- Okay then. - Bye.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

I thought things would be really busy on Christmas.

Why's it so quiet today?

There weren't even a lot of deliveries. Weird.

Jiseul, when do you get off work today?

Can you come in time for the party?

I think so. There aren't a lot of customers today.

I'll call you later.

- Boss. - Yes?

Why's it so quiet today?

Last year, it was really busy.

All the tables are reserved. We're full from six to midnight.

Really? No wonder.

I guess things will be really hectic then.

It's Christmas after all.

Boss.

You said we had reservations at six.

Shouldn't you call them?

It's okay. I received an advance payment.

It doesn't matter if they don't come.

But what about the chef?

Why isn't he prepping food?

We were told not to.

The guest said to let the part-timers take time off.

Quite unusual if you ask me.

Huh?

Dec 25 Kunpat → Thai guest, 6:00 PM~ full

My whole name? It's Kunpat Phonpawiworakun Mint.

Where the heck are you?

Jiseul!

Did you reserve the entire restaurant today?

You found out?

It was supposed to be a secret.

I wanted to help you out with your shift,

but I thought it'd be too hard, and it'd be too obvious I was your Secret Santa..

What is wrong with you?

What? You get to end your shift early,

and without any guests, you won't have to work.

I wanted to do something nice...

Do you think work is a joke for me?

What?

Don't you think at all?

You have so much money to spare? Am I your charity case?

What did I do this time?

Secret Santas are meant to grant wishes

and do nice things.

Secret Santa?

Are you kidding?

Just stop it.

There's a limit to making me look like an idiot.

Every single time, you...

You know what? Just cancel the reservation right now.

And get your money back.

Jiseul.

Grow up, will you?

And think a little.

I was just worried you might get sick again.

What?

I didn't want you to work so hard

and get sick like last time!

Besides, it's Christmas...

I just...

I just wanted to spend it with you...

I hate you!

Jiseul.

Come, sit.

Sit down.

What is all this?

A special request by the person who made the reservation.

I was asked to make our restaurant's best dish for you.

It's someone you know, right?

I thought something was up...

Anyway, enjoy the food and go home early today.

Here, have something to drink as well.

I was just worried you might get sick again.

I just wanted to spend it with you...

Sis, I heard you're having a party at work today.

Your friends sent over cake and chicken

so I'm having a party too with Myeong-jeong.

You go and have fun.

Can I really go?

Yes, go.

And take this.

What?

- Is this from... - No, that's from me.

I wanted to thank you for working every weekend without missing a day.

And it's Christmas. Think of it as a gift from your parents.

I'll see you next week.

I always hated Christmas.

The Christmases I remember

were never happy.

Every year, Santa would visit all the other kids,

but he never came to see me or my siblings.

That's why I made myself busy on Christmas,

and pretended it was like any other day.

The more special the day became,

the sadder it made me because it was something I didn't get to enjoy.

The truth is, I always waited for Santa too.

I was a good girl after all...

I must have wished for presents, too.

I'm getting 20 years worth of presents today.

I'm so sorry...

Jiseul.

You came? I thought you'd be late.

Yeah. Thanks to someone.

Glad you made it. Come sit here.

Where's Mint?

Mint?

I haven't seen her all day. Have you?

- No. - I haven't either.

It can't be...

The party's starting soon. Where are you going?

I'll go and get Mint.

Where on earth is she?

She can't be still there...

Unbelievable. What's this?

It's my first Christmas in Korea.

And it's not even snowing.

This is so depressing! Depressing!

Oh, snow!

Shaking your fist at the sky won't make it snow you know.

It's a gift.

You wanted to see snow on Christmas.

Jiseul.

I thought you were mad at me.

I'm sorry. I was too hard on you.

And thanks for the gift.

Really?

Yeah.

Anyway, I gave you my gift, so I did my part as Secret Santa, right?

I'm starving. Let's go home.

Wait for me Jiseul.

You're so heavy. Get away from me.

- No. I'm not going anywhere. - Stop it.

You really picked out my name though?

It must be fate.

Yeah, right. It's just a coincidence.

You're heavy. Get off of me.

Why?

We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas.

We wish you a Merry Christmas. And a Happy New Year.

Girls, Youngjoo and Suji are going to be late.

They said we should start without them. What should we do?

We can't do that. Let's wait for them.

I'm hungry.

Me, too.

You're hungry?

Then let's open the presents first.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Jiseul. - Me, too.

I don't think we should...

Let's open them.

Okay, just the presents then.

What's this?

A ball pen?

To write your lyrics.

You'll be inspired.

Yeah right. You just ran out of money.

I knew it. It's no use telling you.

This is from you, right?

I started making it as a Christmas gift

and I thought it'd be perfect for you,

so I barely finished it in time.

I love it. Thank you.

- You like it? - Yeah.

- Then, kiss. - No way.

What?

Aren't you going to exchange gifts?

You two are each other's Secret Santa.

Really? How'd that happen?

- That's amazing. - Wow.

- We... - We already exchanged gifts.

Right?

What the...? Stop it.

Is this me? Who drew this?

I did.

Sorry. I didn't have much money.

It's okay. This is really nice.

- Thanks Jane. - Yeah.

Jane, you're so talented.

Wait. You weren't my Secret Santa?

You were Yeeun's?

Yeah. Why?

Look. This is my gift.

I thought you bought it for me.

Are you insane? I can't afford that.

I'm still a teenager. Have a conscience, will you?

Then who's it from?

Who's my Secret Santa?

Your Secret Santa is Youngjoo.

What...

I guess it's from her then.

But she wasn't even here. How did she know?

What does it matter who it's from?

I love my new necklace.

I'm going to take a photo.

Unbelievable.

Can I eat just one?

- No. - Be patient.

Do I really have to use this?

I love it. I'm so happy.

Thanks for the gift. Love you.

Looks so good.

How quick!

It's pretty. Looks nice on you.

- I want some, too. Just wait a little.They're not here yet.

Looks good.

They were hungry and started without us.

I knew it.

Why is Joungjoo taking so long in the restroom?

What's this?

(Wish)

Okay.

I wish for...

Oh, okay.

The Late Suah Lee

Joungjoo, aren't you going to make a wish?

My wish was to spend Christmas with you.

Surprise! It's me.

I'm your Christmas present.

Everyone has a Christmas wish.

It could be something ordinary or joyful,

or it could be a prayer for their dreams.

Please help us debut.

It could also be a wish for someone to come back...

When flower petals fall, blowing through the wind

I feel like I'm still holding your hand

The flowers were still beautiful

It didn't sink in as it does now

To some, it could be a song about broken dreams

And...

25, 21, I thought it would last forever

My wish is to see my sister Suah again,

even if it's just for one day.

I pray Suji won't be as sick as you,

so...

watch over her.

We said we wouldn't eat, but we ate loads.

That's so pretty.

That was so good.

I told Suji and Youngjoo to come to the house.

It would've been nice if we were all together. I can't believe they missed it.

We're going to keep partying at the house anyway.

Then tell them to buy dessert on the way.

Or else we won't open the door for them.

Yeah?

Send it quickly.

Who's that? Is Suji already here?

When is Yeseul coming?

She's on her way.

What's going on?

You should've told me she was coming today.

The girls got a nasty surprise and they're in panic mode.

Yes, I'm right outside the house.

I'll talk to the girls.

Yeah.

Oh. Yeseul.

Isn't the party over? Why are you here?

Let's go inside. I have an announcement to make.

This is your new teammate.

She'll be taking Taeri's spot in the Debut Team.

She already debuted once at JD Entertainment.

Glad you're here.. Welcome.

Hi, I'm Jeewon Lee.

I enjoyed watching Real Girls Project.

It's an honor to join you.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Taeri hasn't even been gone that long.

Does Mr. Kang know about this?

Of course he does.

Where did he find a new girl so suddenly?

Maybe she's a relative.

- Really? - What?

Really?

Sorry it's not the answer you want but I don't have a background like that.

I'm here to get my dream back.

Yeeun, what is it? Are you okay?

Why did you do it? Why?

We were friends.

You shouldn't have left your phone around.

It's your own fault.

They would've met by now.

Yes. I wonder what'll happen now.

Are you worried?

Why would I be? Everyone is where they should be now.

Jeewon, you can use the room on the first floor.

You're sharing with three others. Who's in that room?

Me.

And me.

And Yeeun, so that makes four.

I'm the oldest, Sori. Nice to meet you.

We're going to announce that Taeri left and Jeewon joined tomorrow.

The next mission is also going to be announced, so be early.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Get some rest. - Yes.

I was at JD too for a while.

How long were you a trainee?

I wasn't. I debuted right away.

Are you done with the questions? I'm going to get some rest.

What do you think you're doing?

I was going to use this bed.

What are you doing here?

Why here, of all places?

I told you, I'm here to get my dream back...

Do you really think this makes any sense?

We can't be together let alone be roommates.

Why not?

Did you forget what you did to me?

That doesn't bother you at all?

The past is in the past.

I can't stand to even look at you.

Well I'm going to debut here, no matter what.

For this mission, you'll be singing the same lyrics to this song.

Lyrics?

The same lyrics?

Your vocal trainer will teach you the lyrics.

Then you'll be recording the song first.

So this mission is about recording, not performing?

I didn't say that.

I said you were going to record first.

Divide up the parts and start practicing.

You can come up with your own dance routine.

If you have no more questions, then that's it about the mission.

As you all know, Taeri left the team,

and you have a new member.

Help her adjust since she joined midway.

And since Jeewon wasn't part of any missions,

she'll take over Taeri's points.

Okay.

Dismissed.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

What? Taeri was in last place.

She had two points.

She has the same points as me without a single mission. So unfair.

That's better than Yeeun. She has one point.

Then Yeeun is in last place?

Hey. What's this?

What is it?

You two know each other?

Why did Taeri leave? I'm moving on to Kika.

What's up with Jeewon? She debuted before.

Shocking. The truth about Jeewon Lee.

My friend is a trainee, and according to her,

Jeewon used to audition with Yeeun.

Yeeun's best friend was Jeewon.

They always stuck together.

But Jeewon intercepted a call that was meant for Yeeun and took her spot.

She's a backstabber who betrayed her friend.

Oh my god. What a backstabber.

No way. And she still showed up on Real Girls Project?

She must've thrown her brain and conscience in the trash.

Is this fiction?

Proof that it isn't fiction.

Attaching a photo of them together when they were bffs.

Wow. Is this true?

You made a major mistake this time.

If you had at least told me, it wouldn't have come this far.

Really, you...

The message board is blowing up.

And Yeseul is livid that I didn't tell her.

You were expecting this, weren't you?

And we can't stop people from writing their opinions.

True, but will the girls be okay?

You're worried about them now?

I did a lot of thinking

when Taeri was in the hospital.

I know we have to grade the girls,

but they must be very stressed out because of it.

Even if they win a mission, if they come in last in their team,

they can't even fully enjoy the win.

When people think there's no one behind them,

they don't try to get ahead.

They just keep on looking back.

Why are there so many people better than me?

Why am I in last place?

They keep on blaming themselves.

I just don't want Yeeun to feel that way.

That's why we're taking drastic measures.

Sometimes, jealousy and hate can be a powerful driving force.

Yes, the two will be good stimuli for each other.

Let's just wait and see.

All right.

Is what is written here true?

Yes. I betrayed her and took her spot to debut.

But that's between me and her.

It has nothing to do with Real Girls Project.

It has everything to do with it.

We were expecting someone to take Taeri's place,

and I thought it wouldn't matter who it was.

But it's not you.

Yeah, I agree with Youngjoo.

Yeeun, what about you?

If you say you don't want her here, we'll support you.

Isn't it too harsh to tell her to decide?

This is about her. Who else can decide?

I...

I can't do this.

What?

Since you all know now, I'll just be honest.

The truth is, after what happened, I gave up on trying to be a singer.

My friend betrayed me over some stupid dream

and I didn't think I could handle it if that ever happened again.

So I gave it all up.

But Yeeun, yesterday we....

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry Suji.

But I don't think I can do this anymore.

I'm in last place anyway,

and I probably won't be able to debut.

Why? You think you'll lose to me?

Is that why you're running away?

Do I scare you? Am I too much to handle?

No, I would never lose to you.

Did you forget?

You're the one that took what was meant for me.

Then why are you running?

I came here so I could beat you for once.

What?

But if you run, I would've come here for nothing.

So don't run.

Let's see who wins this time.

Fine. But if I win again,

I can't be in the same team as you. You have to leave.

Of course.

But you'll be the one leaving.
