Original subtitles

I miss you so much...

Ha-ru.

Ha-ru...

Dan-o.

Ha-ru.

I missed you.

I like you.

What?

I said...

I like you.

Sorry.

I know it was hard for you to come here.

No, it must have been harder for you

to wait for me to come here.

I told you

that I would never leave you again.

That I'll come find you...

wherever you are.

I wish I could make time stop.

I wish the next stage would never come.

EUN DAN-O

The number you have dialed is not available...

WHERE ARE YOU, DAN-O?

Let go of me. I have to go.

Where are you going in this condition?

To Ha-ru.

Dan-o.

Gyeong.

I'm ready to take my medicine.

Okay.

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.

I swallowed it.

What is this?

Oh, that?

Mommy said that every flower has its meaning.

Here. It's for you.

What does this flower mean?

"Dan-o is stupid."

FLORIOGRAPHY OF PINK ROSES: ONLY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU

FLORIOGRAPHY OF PINK ROSES: ONLY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU

Dan-o...

Wake up.

-Dan-o! -Dan-o!

It has been so long since I last saw you at school.

I missed you so much!

But you look much better today.

Do I?

Your cheeks are pinkish...

I think our visit helped you get better!

You're right!

What would you do without us?

Thanks, guys.

Please don't get sick again, okay?

-Don't get sick. -What are you doing?

You should know when to leave us alone.

-Let's go, Dan-o. -Still... Don't get sick.

What? Were they on this show?

-What is it? -Wow, unbelievable.

Nice. Hurry, Dan-o.

Dan-o.

Ha-ru.

Good morning.

Let's go in.

Dan-o. Why can't I stop caring about you?

Maybe I'm just confused.

Why would I like a girl like Dan-o?

I do care about her after all.

Well... You know, my doctor said

holding hands tightly is really good for your blood flow.

It's good for your heart, eyes, and brain.

So I thought that for our health--

It's not that.

I just like it.

Come on. You caught me off guard again.

Ha-ru, Dan-o.

-Hi, Do-hwa. -What's going on with you two?

What? What do you mean?

Count me in. I want to have fun with you guys too.

-Wait. -What?

I want it to be just the two of us.

You...

Well... Right. He didn't mean that.

You, Ha-ru and I, three of us will have fun together.

He doesn't know how to count.

Well, he doesn't know a lot of things.

Here, take this.

ROSES TO YOU

I brought it for you.

You should study how to win a girl's heart.

So that you could get a girlfriend.

Study?

Should I study it?

What?

-Gosh. -Are you okay?

Hey, you guys...

Okay. Bye, Do-hwa.

Bye.

Since when?

Thanks.

You...

What was that?

Do-hwa, that idiot. Why did he bring that book out of the blue?

Did he...

I'm sure he didn't notice what's going on between Ha-ru and me.

I'm sure he didn't.

That can't be.

It wasn't that obvious to him, right?

No, it wasn't. It's okay.

What's wrong with me?

Why can't I stop thinking about Ha-ru?

Stop looking so happy.

My gosh. Who is it?

Don't look so happy in front of me.

You're picking a fight again?

I thought it was strange when you were being nice to me lately.

-Strange? -Yes, totally.

You were right.

Ha-ru really changed the stage.

You like anyone who can change the stage?

Yes, I liked him because of that at first.

The stage could be changed when I was with him.

I really wanted to change my character because I didn't want to die.

So?

After you keep changing it, what?

You and he are just...

Just what? We're just extras?

Yes, you're right.

I'm still an extra, and my character's still the same.

But it doesn't matter now because Ha-ru is not just an extra to me.

I told you. I'm an extra who is a classmate of Nam-ju and Ju-da,

and your fiancée in Secret.

But before all that, I'm Eun Dan-o.

I become the real Dan-o when I'm with Ha-ru.

He makes me feel like a protagonist.

It doesn't matter what roles I have in this world

because Ha-ru and I are happy enough outside the story.

-What are they doing? -What?

-What the hell? -What's wrong with them?

-Just go. -That's disgusting.

What's wrong with him?

You're the first woman ever to do that to me.

Really? First?

Yes... I think so.

-You want me to take care of you? -Take care of me?

But my mom said I shouldn't make a woman take care of me

and I should be careful all the time.

Okay, I'll take care of you then. Guys, I'll take care of Yang-il from now on!

It's Nam-ju!

-Nam-ju! -Nam-ju!

What was that?

You're so handsome!

-Nam-ju's magic! -Magic!

But you said you would take care of me...

I'm sure you know better than me how important this is.

You have to go.

Stand still. I told you it's important yesterday.

Do you think it's funny?

That's not important right now.

-It is important. -No, it's not.

-But you said it's important. -No. If you leave like that today again...

Everyone, leave.

-What? -I want to be alone with Ju-da. So leave.

Okay. Let's go.

-What's going on? -Nam-ju is...

Ju-da, we need to talk.

I have nothing to talk about.

Don't just avoid me. Let's talk.

Couldn't those two leave instead?

What? Why are we all here like this?

Because Nam-ju said so. His words are like the school motto.

-It's called "rule." -No, it's "motto."

-You idiot... -Wait, Ju-da's crying.

She cries all the time when Nam-ju is around.

Nam-ju is quite naive. He's a sucker for tears.

Isn't it obvious?

I'm sure she's starting to realize her place.

Did you really mean what you said to me?

There's really nothing going on between us?

Nam-ju...

I don't deserve you.

I'm sorry.

Here.

Just go. I don't want you to see me like this.

You look ugly when you cry.

-What? -I mean, that's not like you.

Then what should I be like?

Always be smiling.

I'll make you smile.

I told you I want to keep my distance from the violin.

God, I almost played the violin.

Wait, you laughed, right? You totally laughed.

Hey, Do-hwa. You...

No, don't say I'm like your guardian angel again.

Hey, I didn't know you could laugh like that.

You're right. I didn't know I could laugh like this either.

You're weird lately.

Am I?

You like anyone who can change the stage?

The stage could be changed when I was with him.

I really wanted to change my character because I didn't want to die.

She liked him because he changed the stage?

I think I'm going crazy

whenever he meddles with my stage,

whenever he squeezes in between Dan-o and me,

and whenever she looks so happy around him.

It drives me really crazy.

I'll find out

what you're hiding.

What you're pretending not to know about.

It's been a while since I last saw you at the Yeonghye Hall, my lord.

I have been waiting for you.

I apologize.

Come.

Is this your son?

I should have introduced myself sooner. My name is Jun-hyeon.

Well... I have another business to attend to. Excuse me.

You shouldn't make the prince wait too long.

You know there can't be two suns in the sky.

Don't you know showing contempt for the royal family is considered high treason?

Contempt? You should watch what you say.

I just wanted to know which sun you're willing to follow.

You have been known for being honest and upright all your life,

so I think other officials will follow the sun you're following.

Keep your distance from the prince.

This is the last warning.

I appreciate your concern for my future.

I am so honored.

He won't hesitate to have blood on his hands.

Does it make you angry?

I'm asking if it makes you angry that the crown prince

came to the throne just because he's of royal blood.

What you just said...

is treason.

Almost everyone in the palace is on your side.

If you don't stab first, you will end up being stabbed.

I am planning to take you to the higher place.

In order to do that, we need a sturdy rope.

-"A sturdy rope"? -I'm talking about Eun Mu-yeong.

Almost all the high and low officials

are Eun Mu-yeong's people.

You need to find his weakness

and get him on your side.

Will you let me pour you a drink?

Your Majesty, how can I drink this

when I don't know what might be inside?

Who would have thought

the Queen Mother poisoned

my mother's meal because she was afraid to lose the King's favor?

You take after...

the Queen Mother, Your Majesty.

You even keep a court lady close to your heart like your mother did.

Your Majesty,

I hope...

you stay healthy.

Are you afraid of Prince Gyeong?

I apologize for what I did, Your Majesty.

But why do you think I did it?

You are already sitting on the throne,

and you have to die if you want to come down from it.

You have to stay there even if you don't want to.

There can never be

any mistakes in your life.

Because the throne is the backbone of this nation.

Because I am your mother!

In order for you and me

to live in peace...

LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD

Do you think these enormous things really exist?

I mean, we're in a comic book. It means the writer made all these things.

I doubt that the writer is this smart.

Then we're made by a stupid writer?

Of course. He drew us as extras, so he's dumb.

This is my wish.

-What is? -To look at the night sky full of stars.

There are no stars in the sky in this world.

I hope I can see it before I die.

Why would you die?

I guess you forgot because I look so healthy.

You know I'm terminally ill.

Dan-o.

We can change that.

I told you I'll change your fate.

I heard the length of time it takes for a star to start to twinkle

then disappear is very short in space.

Every star has its end,

but all those stars together form boundless space.

So I'm sure I'll find a meaning to my life at the end of my time.

And I think that meaning is you, Ha-ru.

Still, it's so sad that I won't be able to see the stars.

It must have been difficult for you to find them.

Thank you for gifting me the most beautiful night sky,

and for remembering my wish.

Ha-ru.

What are you thinking about?

-Dan-o. -Yes?

If we could see the stars,

they must be from really far away, right?

I read it in the book earlier.

The speed of light is about 300,000km per second.

Maybe we...

Maybe we were coming towards each other to meet

from farther away than we think.

I want it to be just the two of us.

"I want it to be just the two of us."

Oh, my.

He wanted to be alone with me. Just two of us.

Where did he learn something like that from?

Ha-ru, you...

He's so straightforward.

He says those things like they're nothing.

Whenever he says such things, I feel like my heart...

So this is how it feels like to like someone.

I didn't know this when I was just Nam-ju and Ju-da's Cupid's bow and arrow,

but now I understand why they were so being so cheesy.

Eun Dan-o who's terminally ill...

I wonder how much time is left for me.

I hope I'll be able to spend all the time I have left with Ha-ru.

Not just in the scenes of Secret...

but my own story.

What do you want to do if you're alone with me?

Excuse me.

Could you tell me where the teachers' office is?

Okay. Thanks.

I found you.

Hi, Ha-ru.

Hi, Dan-o.

Ha-ru, whenever you call me like,

"Dan-o," I feel like my weak heart is going to explode.

But I don't think your heart is throbbing. It's so unfair.

You make my heart throb too. A lot.

Dan-o!

Why are you guys here so early? That's unusual.

Su-cheol pestered me early in the morning saying I'm always late.

You shouldn't have done that, Su-cheol.

There's something fishy going on.

What?

Are you two dating or something?

Yes.

That's ridiculous. Dan-o has Gyeong.

How could you be so slow-witted?

But he just said yes. Did you see how they look at each other?

God, you know nothing about women. Let's just go.

-You didn't notice it? -Sorry.

No one noticed it?

What?

Come on. Seriously.

You're stronger than I thought.

Nam-ju, have a safe trip. And take care of yourself, okay?

Don't skip your meals and never get sick.

-Are you his mom or what? -We the Y3 will take care of the school.

Stay in touch, okay?

Seuli High without Nam-ju? It's so sad.

Ju-da.

I'm really leaving.

Hey, Nam-ju.

Don't worry about me.

I'm curious to find out how I would be like without you.

-You without me? -I think it might be fun.

Goodbye.

-Wow, do you want to join the Y3? -What?

You and I will be the Y3 when we go to university.

Let's take a look at The Stars by Alphonse Daudet.

He expressed a shepherd's romantic love for a girl

through the stars.

Everyone, try to think about someone you love

as we read the last paragraph.

"And sometimes I imagined

one of the stars, the finest and the most brilliant,

having her way, and lying on my shoulders to sleep."

To be with someone I love in a vast field like this...

and watch the stars is my wish.

Ha-ru.

Ha-ru!

Why are you looking at me like that? You're going to make a hole on my face.

-Dan-o. -Yes?

I think you have always liked stars.

Let's go.

What's that?

Mind your own business.

"Mind your own business"?

You have changed so much in a few days.

You used to be my friend who does what I say.

Well... I guess your character is still supposed to do that.

Ha-ru with an ego... is so annoying.

Are you...

still not going to be on my side?

We have to keep order in the royal family.

That order went wrong, so I will get rid of you to restore it.

I will protect His Majesty until the end.

I'm jealous of my brother.

He has so many people on his side.

And I only have you...

on my side.

So, I will get Eun Mu-yeong on my side no matter what.

Get me more information on Eun Dan-o.

Father!

Why are you running around?

I told you a lady shouldn't do that.

Yes, Father.

What is this?

Open it later.

Let's go inside. It's cold here.

My lady!

My lady!

My lady, wait for me.

My lady!

Who are you?

-You are quite good. -I'm asking who you are!

I cannot answer that.

Why are you following me?

-I just... -Tell me the truth!

Because I have to protect you, my lady.

GYEONG

"Gyeong." Is this his name?

I wonder who he is.

Will I be able to see him again?

Or should I wait for him in front of that place?

I should have lied and told him

that Mu-yeong had no weakness.

It's that sound again.

Is he not coming today either?

GYEONG

I knew she would come here.

She really wears her heart on her sleeve.

Please... I need to stop him.

Your Highness.

What do you think you are doing?

My plan is ruined because of you.

Tell me why you did it!

What in the world is this sound?

Of course, he wouldn't come here again.

GYEONG

She really wears her heart on her sleeve.

He just said the same thing.

I am sorry.

Are you okay?

They say three coincidences make fate.

And you and I have run into each other twice so far.

Do you remember me?

My lord.

Could I...

Could I ask your name?

The day will come soon and we'll meet again for the third time.

What is bound to happen happens no matter what in the end.

Prince Gyeong is away today as well.

I know.

I knew he wouldn't like flowers.

Why is he so busy all the time?

Do you like flowers?

Yes, I do.

I knew it.

I will see the end of this path today.

Do you want to join me?

Two, three, four...

Two more pills were added after being in the hospital.

SECRET

SECRET

You said my beginning wasn't in Secret.

The memories I had forgotten keep rushing into my mind.

Whenever the scenes come to my mind,

I'm overwhelmed with strange emotions.

My heart aches,

and I feel anxious and sad.

Even in that book, Gyeong is--

Dan-o's fiancé.

The writer is not very creative.

All the books have the same characters.

Backgrounds are different, but the stories are really similar.

So, remembering the forgotten memories makes you suffer.

You have to stop anyone who tries to change the stage.

Even if it's Dan-o.

Don't make the same mistake.

-The same mistake? -As you're changing the stage,

you're provoking someone unnecessarily.

You still want to change the story?

For Dan-o?

What's the end...

of that story?

You and Dan-o will

never have a happy ending.

Because that's what the writer decided from the beginning.

I heard from Ju-hwa

that Dan-o's checkup result is quite serious.

So don't do anything that might cause her stress.

LEE DO-HWA

EUN DAN-O

GYEONG

What?

Hello?

What's this? I'm hanging up.

Dan-o.

When are you going to the hospital again?

I'm not sure. Why?

You know why...

I hate to go to the hospital, right?

I do. Don't worry. I'm not asking you to.

Tell the writer that I don't want you there either.

You think I want you to come to the hospital?

What? Hello?

Why did he suddenly call me and ask about going to the hospital?

He's being weird these days.

Wait, is it...

OCTOBER 6 THE ANNIVERSARY OF GYEONG'S MOTHER'S DEATH

Jun-hyeon.

You forgot this, my love.

You saved me. Thank you.

Your tie is always crooked, honey.

You're just like Jun-hyeon.

He is really your son.

He should take after me in good things, not things like this.

I take after you in good things too.

-Are you not getting in? -Well...

Dan-o is...

I heard she's quite sick.

The sicker, the better.

Chairman Eun will become softer.

I know you don't have an ego,

but can't you be more humane outside the scenes?

What are you talking about?

Then again, he was the same to Mom in the hospital...

Do you know what today is?

Oh, right.

I almost forgot.

Free up time this evening.

What is today?

Come on. Today's the wedding anniversary of your mom and dad.

Right. I should have known better.

Ma'am.

Can you not say "mom" in front of me

ever again?

You little shit.

Are you hitting me again?

Today should be a happy day,

so try to keep your temper, will you?

God, all of you...

Gyeong!

Gyeong.

I'm sorry about this morning.

Forget it.

I don't think they're being like that because they want to.

You know nothing.

You have no idea how lonely I have been...

outside the scenes.

Just go.

I know how it feels too.

We'll learn today

about a poem that praises

someone who was desperately in love a long time ago.

The title is?

-Jeongseokga. -Jeongseokga.

That's right. It's Jeongseokga.

You guys too go out

and break up with someone, right?

-Yes, he went out with her. -She got dumped.

All right. But in this poem,

until the absolutely impossible situation comes...

Why won't he answer my calls?

Dan-o.

Hey, Do-hwa.

Who is she?

She's a transfer student in my class. I'm giving her a tour.

I see. Hi.

-Hi. -Which school did you come from?

What?

I guess that wasn't set.

What do you mean?

KIM SU-HYANG

But she has a name.

It's time for lunch. We need to hurry.

Whenever we have dried squid, there is a long queue.

-Right. -See you later then.

-See you. -I like dried squid.

Where is the cafeteria?

-It's-- -Oh, right.

Have you seen Gyeong?

Gyeong? No.

I haven't seen him today.

He's not in the A3's room?

You know he doesn't come to school if he doesn't feel like it.

I know, but...

-You... -Do you know how your son has been?

He skips school a lot and hurts me so much.

He's such a rude brat.

But he didn't forget the anniversary and came to see you like this.

So I guess he's not that bad.

Here.

How did you know?

What do you mean?

That today is the anniversary of my mom's death.

I remembered it was around this time.

When autumn leaves are so pretty.

I remember that day. You cried so much.

God, you were such a crybaby but you were cute sometimes.

What happened to you?

Dan-o.

I guess you're the only one by my side.

What?

You're the only person who remembers me both inside and outside the scenes.

You realized that now?

The only person who knows the real me.

You always tried to smile when you were with me.

I realized how precious that was to me a little too late...

Let's go. I'll take you home.

What?

Good night.

Are you really...

going to die soon?

Why? Is that what you're hoping for?

You might live if the surgery goes well.

Don't you know how my character is?

I know you believe in character's roles more than me.

That's why I'm saying this.

Okay. That was a good consolation.

"A successful surgery." It makes me somewhat hopeful.

Get home safely. I'll go in.

It's not too late

for you and me.

What is it this time?

It hurts so much. What's going on?

Dan-o, how do you feel?

Just a little.

I think your fever broke.

You just took the medicine, so get some sleep. You'll feel better.

You shouldn't go to school today. Get some rest at home.

No, I can go to school. I want to.

Am I going to be hospitalized like this again?

Ha-ru will be so worried. What do I do?

Hey!

You're dead meat.

Dan-o got sick again.

But there's nothing I can do for her.

This is my wish.

To look at the night sky full of stars.

There are no stars in the sky in this world.

Thank you for gifting me the most beautiful night sky,

and for remembering my wish.

Why does...

my heart ache so much?

Why am I...

getting so anxious?

I miss you,

Dan-o.

Hi, Ha-ru.

How are you feeling? Are you not sick now?

The writer... Seriously.

He's so into the terminal illness thing.

Look at me. I'm still so strong.

You have waited for long, right?

I can wait for you. However long it takes.

I CAN WAIT FOR YOU. HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES.

I'LL MAKE MY OWN ANSWER. WITH YOU.

This is definitely...

I missed you so much, Ha-ru.

Me too.

What is it?

-Be careful. -Okay.

Count to ten here.

Okay.

One, two, three,

four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten.

Open your eyes.

Wow, it's so beautiful.

They really look like stars.

It's so beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

They really look like stars.

Dan-o.

Yes?

You know,

you might find it funny, but...

Okay. I love funny stories.

Maybe we have

known each other for much longer

than we think.

Much longer?

Yes.

For much longer than we think.

What's this? It's not funny at all.

I'll do anything for you.

-What? -The thing you like to do, for example.

Creating your own fate.

I told you. I'm not going to try anymore.

I think...

not everything we do is going as the writer planned.

And I think that's why

you could find me...

who was just an extra with no name.

From now on,

I'll be the one who finds you

wherever you are.

Now I think I know...

why my beginning was you.

Ha-ru.

Thank you.

For gifting me the most beautiful night sky,

and...

for remembering my wish.
