I will make my own answer.

With you.

Ha-ru?

Dan-o.

Hey, Dan-o.

Gyeong left just now.

Gyeong?

You only remember me...

as Gyeong's fiancée who has heart disease.

Is that all you remember about me?

Should I know more about you?

No.

You don't anymore.

I thought Ha-ru was just one of the quiet students in our class.

He's no joke. His smash success rate is 95.92 percent.

It was like he and Gyeong were the only players in the court.

-You're right. -They were amazing.

-Does Gyeong get exhausted at all? -Right?

Dan-o.

I think your racket needs to be taped.

Stop. I'll do it myself.

Okay. See you later.

Guys, let's go.

Hey, I'll beat you this time. Let's make a bet.

Are you laughing at me?

This is too cruel.

What is this? You have been pretending to like Dan-o to use her family?

Gyeong, you're such a piece of trash!

Can't you tell apart? Those things only happen in the stage.

The writer drew it like that. There's nothing I can do about it.

I know that. But it's so evil so I couldn't help.

Mind your own business.

Dan-o understands it since she has her ego.

But Nam-ju doesn't. He's suffering because you keep changing the story.

I already know that. I feel sorry for Nam-ju.

So you never wanted to change the story?

Are you really okay with your character? You're stabbing your fiancée in the back.

Poor Dan-o.

I didn't care about it, but...

SECRET

I'm starting to want to change it because of someone.

So you never wanted to change the story?

Are you really okay with your character? You're stabbing your fiancée in the back.

Hey, it's not lunch time yet.

I have been wondering why Dan-o comes here so often.

What? What do you mean?

What's this?

You're not even surprised?

So you already knew that I started having my ego.

What should I call you? Dried-squid Elf?

Or should I talk casually to you...

like Do-hwa does?

I never want you to do that.

We should be friends. You know, we have our ego.

It's so frustrating to hang out with those idiots with no egos.

What happened to Ha-ru was interesting. I think this comic book world is...

quite fun.

Do you have something on your mind?

-No. -Come on. I can tell.

What is it? Is it about that friend again?

Your friend whose heart races when she's with some guy?

-She said her heart is going to stop. -What do you mean, it's going to stop?

I can see that you're so deeply in love.

Okay, everyone. I'll guess who it is that she's in love with.

It's so obvious. You're looking at only one person.

It's no one but...

-Gyeong! -Gyeong!

-See you. -Hey.

Okay. I'll give this survey to other guys this time.

Stay tuned.

You can have a look at this.

-You're so full of yourself. -What are you doing?

-Ha-ru, I feel this much about you. -Hey, move.

-Ha-ru. -Ha-ru?

Ha-ru, the white gown looks really good on you.

-Ha-ru, can you help me with this? -No, he can't.

-Hey. -Hey!

-He doesn't like a girl like you. -A girl like me?

-The class... -Stop it.

-Ha-ru doesn't like a girl like you. -She's right.

-He doesn't like you. -Ha-ru!

Guys, come and take experiment tools.

I can do this by myself.

You keep bothering me.

I know you don't remember anything, but don't do that.

What do I not remember?

Don't make me think that you're like the Ha-ru I used to know.

Not even for a moment.

Please... Don't do that to me.

-Are you in my group? -No.

Then what are you doing here?

-Nothing. -Nothing?

-Is your character supposed to do that? -My character?

Then you had better take good care of her.

Ha-ru! Who are you eating lunch with?

Will you join us?

I don't need to eat. I'll just look at his face...

Ha-ru is really popular.

-He is? -Yes. He's not as popular as my Nam-ju,

but he is really handsome, you know. He really stands out.

He became friends with Gyeong in the tennis club.

Gyeong only plays tennis with him because he's really good.

Rumor has it that he's going to make it into A3.

Without me knowing?

What? Why do you look like you just got dumped?

-Do I? -Yes. You look like you just got dumped.

What's the matter?

Isn't he handsome? Right?

I got to go.

Dan-o?

Move over a little.

He called me by my name, Ae-sam.

But you said your name's so tacky and you'll change it soon.

Hush. Stop talking to me.

-I want to keep this feeling for longer. -What?

I just decided to quit being a fan of Gyeong as of today.

I know you always have been anxious because of me.

From now on, Gyeong is all yours.

Hey, it hasn't been long since you became a fan of Gyeong. You quit already?

You know, Ha-ru is like green grapes.

From now on, I'll fully committed to Ha-ru.

-What? To Ha-ru? -Oh, my God! Dan-o, what's your problem?

No. Ha-ru is...

-Ha-ru is... -He's what?

You take good care of Gyeong. I'll look after Ha-ru.

Let's go see Ha-ru.

Darn it!

Can't you see I'm live-broadcasting? Everyone thinks you're a ghost.

Hey, Su-cheol. There are a lot of comments.

Oh, Sin-ho! It's been quite a while.

Are you giving me credits so soon?

No way!

No, she didn't mean it. I'm ready to receive...

-Hey, he has already left. -Dan-o, seriously!

Dan-o, is something wrong?

Sae-mi, what should I do?

Is it good? I told you something delicious would make you feel better.

It's because of Gyeong, right?

It's hard to make someone love you back as much as you do. That's the fun of it.

Nam-ju and I are the same as you guys.

But that's just one of the steps towards true love and our happy ending.

So don't worry. Gyeong will come to you in the end.

He can't just ignore your ten years spent together.

I don't even know how much time I got left.

Ten years? What's the use?

Don't say that. Ten years is more than half of our age.

It must mean something.

Hey, look at them.

I think he enjoys getting attention from those girls.

He's the same Ha-ru, except he doesn't remember a thing about me.

Jeez. You see how I-jin's smizing at him?

But I think we should learn it from her. Hey, how do I look?

I'm the one who named him...

Dan-o, why are you so depressed? That's so unlike you.

You want me to beat Gyeong? Should I give a taste of my fists?

Okay, I really won't care about him anymore.

I bet he doesn't know

being an extra created by the writer is worse than being an unknown.

I told you to find evidence.

I need a picture of her and Nam-ju together.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for everything you do here.

Keep up the good work.

It's definitely worse to be

an extra created by the writer.

Hello.

Hi, Ju-da.

I should send you a new pair of shoes.

Well... I'm okay.

You have already received so many things. One more won't make any difference.

It's okay.

Oh, right. I heard you and Dan-o are close friends.

Gyeong is so wise. He has already found a good match.

I really hope Nam-ju will get a girlfriend soon.

By the way, do you have anyone to set him up with?

Maybe someone...

good enough for Nam-ju.

Ms. Cha!

Hi, Sae-mi.

-Have you been well? -Of course.

My dear, you have become prettier from head to toe.

They say a girl becomes prettier when she's in love. Do you have a boyfriend?

-I'm still looking for someone. -My goodness.

That someone might be closer than you think.

Why don't you come over to my place soon?

-Sure, I would love to. -Okay.

Oh, my. I'm going to be late. Okay, then. See you at my place, okay?

-Yes, ma'am. -Have a good day.

-Ju-da. -Yes?

Your new shoes...

will be sent to you by today.

A Seuli High student shouldn't wear such worn-out shoes.

Ms. Cha. Let me see you off.

Nam-ju, when are you coming to the classroom? Should I come to you?

No. Your mother invited me to your house. So--

Hello, are you there?

Ju-da, do you know what this means?

How could she? She can't take extra classes.

What's the use of studying hard if you're never going abroad?

-What does that mean? -It just means something good.

Ju-da, isn't that the flower you're taking care of? It's withering.

Oh, no. What should we do?

-It's really withering. -You have something on your back.

-She's so stupid. -What's that?

"Spare any change?"

This is not funny.

"Beggar"? This is so childish.

"Worn-out shoes."

It's your hearts that are worn out.

Who is it? Who stuck these on Ju-da's back?

Sae-mi?

You again? I'm so disappointed in you.

"Disappointed"?

Did you just say you were disappointed in me?

Let's go.

Nam-ju.

That little...

Thank you for helping me, but don't make me look pathetic anymore.

-What? -I know that

you and I are living in different worlds.

So, if you pity me, just stop it.

-When did I pity-- -Because I don't want to get hurt.

I don't know where you got the idea, but I have never pitied you.

-But-- -I'll prove how sincere my feelings are.

Right now.

How is Ha-ru? He's still a different person?

Why don't you do the same as before like when Ha-ru was Number 13?

No.

You talked about the butterfly effect, right? About the wings flapping.

You're going to do nothing about this?

-What about you? -Me?

Nam-ju made big a scene before you came.

Because of the stage about Ju-da.

She was bullied again? Sae-mi again? Because of the scholarship again?

The writer's such a...

If he can't be creative, he should be kind at least.

Forget what I said. I'm done too.

I don't want Ju-da to have a hard time because of me.

I can't watch a girl I like and my friends suffering anymore.

Both you and I eventually...

-I would like to make an announcement... -Hey, isn't that Nam-ju's voice?

-I think he'll make a big announcement. -Don't tell me it's about Ju-da--

Hey, isn't it obvious? He's making an announcement about me.

Nam-ju is officially apologizing to me.

Ju-da is the only one for me...

from now on.

-Seriously? -This can't be true. Are you all right?

This means both you and I have lost to the writer.

Because the story he writes happens eventually no matter what.

You heard the announcement, right? About Nam-ju and Ju-da.

It was exactly the same as my line. It's so boring.

It's going according to the story.

I would like to make an announcement...

I would like to make an announcement...

Ju-da is the only one for me...

Dan-o is the only one for me from now on.

Ju-da is the only one for me from now on.

But if you still want to, I'll help you.

Right, you said only Ha-ru can change it.

But what can you do? He doesn't remember a thing.

Tell me.

What do we have to do to change the story?

Ha-ru is the only person who can freely move in the stage.

So you can't change my fate.

Everything goes as the writer wants in the end.

-Sure, why not? -I'm all in then.

Dan-o and Gyeong are over there.

-Wow, you have such good eyesight. -You know, I'm Ban-jang of Class 2-7.

I can see my classmates even a kilometer away.

Look at how things are going.

What happened to Seuli High, the place to study to get into the Ivy League?

It became a place for love.

But don't you think they look good together?

-Just study. -Just study.

I study really hard... Hey, wait for me.

Come on.

Okay.

I'm so sorry. What was I thinking carrying so many things all at once?

Trumpet Creeper ?

-What are you doing? -I just picked it up for you.

-Is that all you were doing? -What?

Nothing.

Why here, of all other seats?

Forget it. I'll go sit somewhere else.

Sit here. I'll go.

Why does she bother me so much?

I must be tired.

How about you take a few more pills?

But I'm already taking a lot of pills.

No, I don't want to. I don't feel sick at all these days.

Eun Dan-o!

Why are you yelling at me?

Your father's just worried about you.

You'll take them, right?

Okay, then. I'll let you two alone.

How much time do I have left?

Dad, I'm sorry for acting like such a baby earlier.

No, I'm sorry that there's nothing I can do for you.

Okay, I'll just do it.

Dad, if I take all the pills, will you do me a favor?

Of course. I'll do whatever you want.

Do you want me to go up to the sky and pick a star for you?

No, not something like that.

I...

want to get married.

No, I don't want to.

I don't want to get married. I never meant to say what I just said.

I'm going to live with you forever.

Okay.

Let's live together forever.

I know what you have been through.

You have always been worried about me since I was little because of my heart.

I love you, Dad.

If I have a choice, I'll be your daughter again in my next life.

And I want to be your father again.

Dan-o, are you ready yet?

I'm coming!

-You might want to look pretty. -What? Why?

I said I'm coming.

Why are you so surprised? I can come here whenever I want, right?

But...

But we're not in the stage.

BAECK GYEONG

-You kept it? -Give it to me.

Don't laugh. I was so embarrassed that I had to wave this thing the whole day.

Hurry up. Let's go to school together.

Wait. I have to take my medicine. I promised my dad not to skip it.

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.

Do you still remember that?

You haven't changed at all, seeing that this spell still works.

Is it that hard to take the medicine?

Hey, just try to take it every day yourself. I'm sick of it.

You always gave your doctor and nurses a hard time whenever you had to take it.

You remember that?

I'm the one who recited that spell beside you then.

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.

When the Fairy Godmother gave Cinderella the golden carriage and dress,

you said you just wanted a healthy heart instead.

Gosh, you were... You were quite scary back then.

Hey, you remember all sorts of things.

You said it felt like you'd be healthier if I'd recite the spell.

That was just my character talking. It wasn't me.

I remember everything.

Both you inside the story

and you outside the story.

That's one thing that relieves me.

You're the only person who remembers everything about me.

Everything about me outside the story.

-And... -Ha-ru?

Thank you.

I would have had a really hard time if it hadn't been for you.

I'll try to accept this world as it is.

I'll try to forget about Ha-ru

and the fact that I tried to change the story.

And I'll forget about how rude and heartless you were.

We're going to be late. Let's go.

Hey, Ha-ru! Don't let anyone get you from behind!

-Oh, God. That hurts. Let go of it. -What the hell?

We were quite close, you know. This is sad.

Were we close? You and me?

Same face, different person. Forget it. I give up now.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

No.

You have a practice with me tomorrow morning.

Just find someone else for that.

We can solve this problem using the method

that the mathematician Gauss came up with when he was in elementary school.

He found that if he split the numbers into two groups

and added them together vertically, he would get a sum of 101.

-Don't you think Gauss was such a genius? -Yes, I agree.

-You're right, ma'am. -Okay, let's take a look.

It's the family motto.

Please take a look.

Take a look.

It's been a while since you last visited. Take a look.

What flower is this?

It's a trumpet creeper.

Ladies love it as much as things that are expensive and glittering.

"Even if the sky falls apart and the ground splits into two pieces,

I'll wait for you."

They say that's what the flower means. Believe it or not.

I'll take this.

-Did you just doze off? -What?

-Let's go. We need to practice. -Okay.

What's this?

-Dan-o gave it to me. -Dan-o did?

The name of this flower...

Never mind.

Why are you curious about this flower?

Why are you curious about it?

Because I saw a similar one in my dream.

-In your dream? -It's nothing. Let's go.

Ju-da.

Are you not going to the music room?

Nam-ju, there's something I want to do with you.

What is it?

Rock-paper-scissors, and the loser grants a wish.

-A wish? -Rock-paper-scissors!

I won.

Tell me then. What's your wish?

I wish you could be yourself more.

Just like you're the coolest when you're yourself,

The A3 shines the most when it's whole.

If one of you is missing, that's not the A3, right?

I wish you and Do-hwa could be close friends like before.

What would you have done if I won?

I'm pretty sure you would still have granted my wish.

I know what your wish would have been. To grand Ju-da her wish.

Damn it...

Hey, it's you who suck at it. Why are you taking it out on the game?

Do-hwa.

You closed the rooftop, and you won't even let me come here now? Fine, I'm leaving.

Our protagonist is starting his thing again.

It's not the same A3 without you.

Someone said that A3 shines the most when it's whole.

-Who said that? -My girl did.

"My girl"? I can never get used to him saying that.

-Okay. I got it. For now. -For now?

Both Ju-da and A3 mean a lot to me.

Let's compete fairly with each other.

The best I can do is playing the violin. How can I compete with you?

That's right. Our friendship shouldn't be broken that easily.

Because A3 shines the most when it's whole.

He's saying the same thing again, but...

Damn it. Why did we have to do this?

-I could feel how sincere you were. -What?

Sometimes you sound like a broken radio because you say

the same thing over and over again. But I could feel how sincere you were.

Me letting you back in the group meant that special? You're saying nonsense.

I forgot how much you mean to me for a while.

Whether you have your ego or not.

The same goes for you too, Gyeong.

Of course. Three of us have shared a lot of fond memories since childhood.

I understand what you mean. But don't make it gross.

Take good care of Ju-da. She's a good person.

I can't say I'll stop liking her right away.

But I hope you two will be happy together. I mean it.

Why did you want to see me?

This is for you.

What is it?

Nothing special. This and that.

I thought you would like them.

And here.

This is...

What we talked about this morning reminded me of it.

I gave them to you whenever you took the medicine.

It has been so long.

You said it made you feel better.

Right. It really did.

And...

-There's one more thing. -One more?

There he comes.

-Thanks. -Why did Ha-ru...

I had him buy some flowers for me.

Ha-ru...

and I are supposed to be pretty close.

Thanks.

You got something to say?

No.

But you look like you do.

Just leave.

Why? He won't remember this anyway.

This must be how you and Ha-ru felt

when you were looking at me.

Two people who have egos looking...

at one person who doesn't.

He's not Ha-ru.

She's right.

I guess you're not anymore.

Go.

Dan-o.

Ha-ru?

This looks nice.

Oh... We are in the stage.

But Gyeong has plenty of rackets.

GIFT IDEAS TENNIS RACKET

He only uses this model.

Ha-ru and I are supposed to be pretty close.

Is this how the writer's using Ha-ru in the stage after erasing his memories?

This will make a great gift.

The writer is being so cruel

to both Ha-ru and me.

They all look the same to me.

-It will be different since it's from you. -You think so?

GIFT IDEAS TENNIS RACKET

-Excuse me. Could you gift-wrap this one? -Sure.

I'm pretty sure Nam-ju would have said no,

and I can't trust Do-hwa.

Thanks, Ha-ru. I'm glad I asked for your help.

You must like Gyeong a lot.

That's what I'm supposed to do.

Why?

That's what my character does. So I must do it even if I don't want to.

But you shouldn't like someone if you don't want to.

If you don't like what your character does, why not change it?

I'll never try to do that again.

I don't want to lose it again.

Lost what?

Ha-ru.

Ha-ru? Me?

Yes. You.

But...

It is not you.

Because you're not Ha-ru.

But my name is Ha-ru.

Since when? Do you even remember?

See?

Why do you keep saying I'm not Ha-ru?

Why do you keep saying I don't remember anything?

But you shouldn't like someone if you don't want to.

If you don't like what your character does, why not change it?

I think my days will be different if I'm with you.

Can I call you Ha-ru from now on?

He doesn't even know what happened to him because of me.

OH NAM-JU

Nam-ju?

Hey, where are you?

Well... I'm just doing something.

I was wondering if my girlfriend has time to see me.

Your girlfriend? Who is?

You're my girlfriend--

But you never asked me out.

Come on. You know I even made the announcement. What more do you need?

Okay, then let's do that thing you like. The rock-paper-scissors bet.

I'll think about it after hearing what your wish is.

Come on, don't be so mean. You know what my wish is.

-I don't know. What's your wish? -Of course it's...

I'll tell you later. When I'm ready.

-When you're ready? -Yes, I need some time to be ready.

The Seuline Foundation is also covering your grandmother's hospital bills.

Don't forget that.

This is so hard...

LEE DO-HWA

"Goodbye, Yeo Ju-da..."

-Do you want to play the Rice-Barley game? -Challenge accepted.

-Barley... -Barley...

-Rice! -No...

-What was that? -It's quite hard.

Hi, Do-hwa.

-Rice! Come on, give me your hand. -Rice...

-Not so hard. I'll cry. -Okay.

-Don't be a crybaby. -She's right.

Do-hwa.

-What? I'm sad now. -Where's the comic book?

I'm not going to read it anymore. It only makes me sad.

I need to see it.

Why?

So you don't have it, right?

TRUMPET CREEPER

I WOULD LOVE TO. EVEN TOMORROW.

Dan-o?

-What is this book about? -It's nothing.

What do you mean, it's nothing? She's clearly Dan-o.

How much did you read?

Not much, I guess.

-Seuli High's official couple! -Give it back!

Hey, find an ugly picture of Gyeong.

-This bastard always gives me a hard time. -Give it back!

"Give it back!"

-"Give it back!" -"Give it back!"

Where is it?

-Give it back, you idiot. -Idiot?

You think you can talk to me like that because you're Gyeong's fiancée?

-No, I don't want to. -Give it back!

-No, I don't want to. -No.

-That's enough. -What did you say?

Are you a villain or something?

You're stepping up since you're Gyeong's friend, huh?

Damn it. Hey, let's just go.

Are we just leaving?

Are we leaving like this?

Dan-o.

I told you not to do that.

Stop pretending to be Ha-ru. You're not.

Hey. Wait, Dan-o.

Dan-o!

My name is Ha-ru.

-I know. -Then why do you keep saying I'm not?

Why do you keep appearing in front of me and bothering me?

-What on earth are you? -See?

You're not Ha-ru.

-What? -You remember everything.

That I said you were not Ha-ru, and what happened in the shadow.

-You have an ego again. -An ego?

Except for the memories of me.

You asked me who I am.

I'm nothing but an extra who's terminally ill.

This is for the best.

Don't remember me.

I won't try to change anything anymore.

You haven't heard from Gyeong yet?

This brat...

He said he'll be here soon.

You're late.

I was supposed to be summoned here anyway. So I didn't bother to come here early.

Gyeong, you're late. You should apologize first instead of making a joke.

A joke?

Dan-o knows I wasn't making a joke.

Sit.

I apologize. You won't remember this, but still...

-Are you insane? -God, I'm so sick and tired of this.

Is that all you have to say in the shadow?

I heard you ran into Chairman Oh of Seuline.

Yes, I did.

I prepared this for Dan-o.

You're the person I love the most in this world.

I'm somewhat disappointed.

-Yes. Your Dad might be disappointed. -He didn't mean that.

You always say that my happiness is your happiness, don't you?

Is this my happiness?

-Well, I can't say I don't. -I think we'll be in-laws soon.

Thanks to Dan-o, I'm going to have a reliable son.

Thank you so much. But I haven't prepared anything...

But you did give me this long ago.

I thought you threw it away.

-You have kept this all this time? -Of course.

Having a crush for a decade finally paid off.

"Little strokes fell great oaks." Right?

Like my bad heart isn't enough,

I have to marry someone I don't even love?

It seems like you're ready to walk down the aisle.

I would love to. Even tomorrow.

EUN DAN-O

EUN DAN-O

HA-RU

Ha-ru...

HA-RU

TRUMPET CREEPER

Dan-o?

TRUMPET CREEPER

Trumpet Creeper?

TRUMPET CREEPER

I should have burned this a long time ago...

I WOULD LOVE TO. EVEN TOMORROW.

I would love to. Even tomorrow

What's that look on your face?

You looked so happy in the stage. But now...

I'm just so tired.

Do you know what trumpet creeper is?

Trumpet creeper?

-The name of this flower. -Oh, that...

You know how it works. The writer chose the flower, not me.

Then...

So when you said you would love to marry me soon...

Of course,

I didn't mean it.

I hate this.

Why do you hate it?

You like me.

I told you, it's my character that likes you.

So you don't have to pretend like you care about me in the shadow.

What will be the next stage?

The hospital? Or our wedding?

Whatever it is, that won't be the real Eun Dan-o.

Among all the scenes where you were with me,

you never felt anything for me?

Then...

how about when you were little?

The Eun Dan-o in my memories...

Is it real or just a character?

I don't know anything anymore.

But one thing is certain.

The Eun Dan-o in every scene in the future

will be nothing more than the Eun Dan-o the writer draws.

If all these people are fake, where are they going?

Everyone has their own stories and things they hold dearly.

But all of us have to say and do as the writer wants.

I wish I just remained an extra Eun Dan-o

who knew nothing.

Then I would have still been Number 13 without a name.

I'm going to change the story about you this time.

Dan-o.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Dan-o.

Look at me.

I'm here.

I'll never leave you again.
