(Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation Young Artist Audition)

I'll see you soon then. Bye.

What? You can't make it?

Professor, that's why we...

I see.

Okay. Yes, I understand.

Someone can't come?

Professor Jung who teaches cello.

Something urgent came up and he can't come.

The audition starts soon and now he says that?

It's Professor Lee Bo Ram. Sorry.

I just got a message too. Sorry.

Professor Lee who teaches violin can't come either.

What? What on earth are they doing?

Give me your phone. I'll talk to her.

No, wait, just a moment.

Someone else can't come?

I think it's best you don't call.

- Why not? - Why not?

Professors Jung and Lee both teach at Woojin University.

Their message board is a mess.

Why?

They had an affair.

No way.

I should throw all this out.

My assistant is so good at her work.

If you don't have any connections, you should try to make one.

Anyway, Song Ah's very good at what she does.

She's quick-witted and has good taste.

Graduate school?

Yes. Our graduate school.

Do your Masters here.

I watched you for four years,

and you're smart and quick to understand.

You just picked up the violin too late.

Let's be honest. It was tough to keep up, wasn't it?

Why, are you not interested?

No, no. Of course I'm interested.

Then what's wrong?

It's just that...

you told other students...

which university in which country to go to...

and recommend which professor to study under,

but you never said anything to me.

Oh, dear.

And that upset you?

Come on.

I didn't recommend anyone on purpose.

Because I wanted to keep you close and teach you myself.

At graduate school,

let's study together and have fun for two more years.

Okay.

(Episode 6: Raffrenando, Controlling one's pace)

Score the participants with a percentage.

We'll take the average excluding the highest and lowest score.

We won't separate the majors.

You will score everyone.

The participants were divided into four groups.

Each group will arrive at their scheduled audition time.

We'll have them draw lots to decide the order.

Between each group, we will break for 20 minutes.

Thank you for coming to judge our young artists...

despite your busy schedules.

Thank you all in advance.

Shall we begin?

Group A number one, come in.

(Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation Young Artist Audition)

(Mom)

Thanks for your help today.

Thank you.

- Good job. - You too.

I didn't know you'd be here.

I didn't either.

Why do you still wear that ring?

It's over between us.

- Jung Kyung. - Why do you still wear it?

Let's talk.

I have nothing to say.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

The door is closing.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

Joon Young, something really great happened today.

Do you want to leave first?

Young In called us both because she doesn't know we broke up.

So I plan to tell her now.

That'll make you feel very uncomfortable.

You should leave now.

I warned you.

It's your fault now.

Thanks so much for coming on such short notice.

Was it hard work?

- No. - No.

Do you have plans?

We'll be done very soon. Stay for dinner.

I'll buy you something nice.

Well...

A date?

Will you let me join just for a day?

- Young In. - Yes?

We broke up.

We broke up.

Oh, I see...

I think you'll need to revise the program for...

the foundation's anniversary party.

We can't do the piano trio anymore.

Okay.

I understand.

Excuse me.

Lee Jung Kyung.

Han Hyeon Ho.

Were you really going to marry me?

What gave you such confidence?

Do you have anything at all?

I'm sick of you now.

She's tough, isn't she?

It stuck.

See, Jung Kyung. I said it would work.

I'll stick it back together if it breaks again.

Trust me.

(Chae Song Ah)

Joon Young, something really great happened today.

(Chae Song Ah)

(Mom)

- Hello? - Joon Young.

Yes.

So... Do you think...

I'm asking around.

I see. Okay. Thank you.

So... Do you think...

you can get some money soon?

How much longer will you do this?

You said Dad stopped acting up.

Before you go and back up someone's loan,

tell people that your son is not a successful pianist.

He's penniless.

20,000 dollars is no small sum.

I'll send all I have. It's not much.

Okay. Thank you.

This is all I have.

Find the rest somewhere else.

(Balance 23,852.98 dollars)

- Here. - Thank you.

Sorry for coming so suddenly.

I live here. It's fine.

Do you want a wiping cloth?

- Yes. - Okay. Hang on.

Does Song Ah come here often?

Song Ah? Sometimes.

Why?

Just because. You two seem close.

How close are you?

What kind of question is that?

We're quite close. I've known her for a long time.

Like you and Joon Young.

Here.

Thank you.

These days, Hyeon Ho comes here more often than Song Ah.

Is his girlfriend neglecting him?

I should go. I took too much of your time.

Jung Kyung.

Hyeon Ho.

Don't taunt him too much.

He's sweet, but not naive.

I gave you two. One's for Hyeon Ho.

Come together next time.

We...

broke up.

(Director Nah, this is Park Joon Young.)

(Director Nah Moon Sook)

Hello?

Hello. Joon Young.

Hello, ma'am.

Are you doing well? I got your text.

Oh, right.

Why? Is something wrong?

I called because I think there's a mistake.

A mistake?

You wired me some money yesterday,

and I just realized it today.

I think you made a mistake.

It's for the accompaniment.

You played at my house last time.

What?

I am...

the director of a foundation, and you're a musician.

I just sent you what you earned.

That's how we'll avoid any kind of unnecessary misunderstandings.

No, I can't take this money.

Why? Is it not enough?

No, it's not that.

I just volunteered to play that day.

Please don't do this. I'll send it back.

Joon Young.

Didn't you understand when I said...

there shouldn't be any misunderstandings?

- Director Nah. - I don't want to be indebted.

I'll talk to you later.

Joon Young, what brings you here?

Let's go inside.

Jung Kyung isn't home.

What brings you here at this hour?

This is the money you sent me.

I don't want to take it.

You don't even have the courage to take 20,000 dollars?

Among all the musicians out there, how many do you think...

can talk to me privately?

You've stayed by my side for more than 15 years.

What did you gain from me?

Ever since you disappointed me when you couldn't handle that piano,

I stopped having expectations about you.

But I didn't know you were still the same.

You can go now.

That piano.

The keys on that piano felt too heavy whenever I played.

Because of that piano,

there was never a time I followed my heart.

No matter what I wanted or desired,

I just held it in and endured it. Is that...

so hard for you to understand?

Joon Young, that's exactly why you disappoint me.

- Director Nah. - I'm okay...

Director Nah!

He read it.

(Joon Young, something really great happened today.)

(Park Joon Young)

Hello.

Hello.

Well, then...

Song Ah.

Yes?

Joon Young and I go back 15 years.

Yes, I know.

Don't get between us.

Yes, Joon Young.

What?

Okay.

Taxi!

Joon Young.

How is she?

She's in surgery.

Don't worry. The doctor said she'll be okay.

Stay here for a second.

Stay with me.

I'm scared.

(Joon Young, something really great happened today.)

Is something wrong?

(Is something wrong?)

(Hyeju Medical Center)

You should go now.

Thank you for everything. Go get some rest.

Mom.

Joon Young.

Let's begin.

I'm feeling a little...

I'm feeling a little sick.

Don't tell me what you think.

What did the doctor say?

Well, it's not cancer or anything.

I just keep seeing double images.

I went to a nearby hospital,

and they told me to go to a bigger hospital.

So what did they say?

There seems to be...

a problem with a blood vessel in my head.

What do you have to do then?

I need surgery.

Will you get better with surgery?

Yes. That's what they said.

Then ask them to fix a surgery date.

But...

it almost costs 20,000 dollars.

That's not...

How much longer will you do this?

20,000 dollars is no small sum.

Mom. Did you...

ask for the 20,000 dollars...

because of your surgery?

- Joon Young, the thing is... - Mom.

Why didn't you tell me? I thought it was because of Dad again.

No. Director Nah is still sending him...

- Director Nah? - No, it's nothing.

- It's not... - "Still"?

Director Nah is still helping Dad...

when he's still in that state?

- Dad. - Hey, Jung Kyung.

How is she?

She'll be okay.

Why?

Why do you keep taking money from Director Nah?

I didn't want to either.

Jung Kyung kept insisting she wanted to help.

- Jung Kyung? - Yes.

What could I do?

Jung Kyung knows our circumstances and wants to help you.

Jung Kyung knows about this?

Of course she does.

I came to you instead because I felt bad this time.

Mom.

How much worse must you make me feel around Jung Kyung?

Do you know what I think whenever I see her?

Wait, Joon Young.

Like you said,

I decided to think that nothing happened.

So loosen up and come.

This is how stressful graduate school is.

Don't say that.

It's the best time of my life.

Hey, welcome, Mr. CEO.

I just own a small business.

Beer?

No, I'll have water.

Slow down.

- Where's Song Ah? - She just called. She can't come.

- Take your time. - Okay.

Let's toast now everyone's here.

- Yes. Cheers. - Cheers. Hello, everyone.

Eun Ji, Dong Yun's here, so ask him.

Ask me what?

My team's rookie isn't dating.

Do you want to meet her?

Sorry. Was that too forward in front of your ex-girlfriend?

No, that's fine. Don't worry.

- Set them up. - Can I?

Dong Yun, go on a date.

As many times as you want.

Are there any men rookies?

New male staff?

Song Ah.

Yesterday,

sorry for not texting back.

Something came up.

It's okay.

Was it about Jung Kyung?

I was with her yesterday evening.

When you called her.

Don't you want to know my good news?

Right. You said something great happened.

What is it?

I decided to apply to grad school at Seoryeong University.

Really?

You'll do well.

Thank you.

You said...

we should be friends.

I'm sorry for...

changing my mind when I said you can call whenever you're struggling.

I don't think I want to be...

that kind of friend for you.

You said you want to see me when things are tough.

So you wanted to see me.

But you won't tell me at all what happened...

or what's bothering you.

What's that?

That kind of friendship?

I won't do it.

I'm sorry.

That's not what I wanted to hear.

"This happened to me today."

"So I was happy."

"I was upset. It's tough."

"I want to cry."

I wanted to be a friend...

he could say such things to.

Gosh, I can't believe this.

My gosh. Hae Na, did your boyfriend send this?

Yes, since it's my last day as an intern.

It's not like you're retiring or something.

He sent this huge thing just because it's your last day as an intern?

Goodness, Mr. Park. Just admit that you're jealous.

No, I'm really not jealous. You can't even eat this.

You did a great job.

You too, Song Ah.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

These must be expensive.

Aren't they beautiful?

Oh, ma'am.

Why was my daughter rejected from the audition?

I wouldn't say this if there was at least one other person...

who played like Ji Won.

- Ma'am, please calm down. - So show me the score sheet.

But no matter how much you're displeased with the score,

if the judge says that's what he felt,

there's nothing you can do about it.

Gosh, how could she be so petty?

Ma'am.

Fine, then. Since you're all here, let me ask you something.

Ma'am.

All of you heard Ji Won play...

at the director's house last time, right?

Tell me what you thought of her performance.

Ma'am...

You.

You were the page-turner, right?

- Yes. - You were.

Then you tell me.

How was my daughter's performance?

Well...

Well...

In my opinion, Ji Won...

has an amazing talent.

Did you hear that? She said she has amazing talent.

So how could she be rejected from the audition?

That's why...

I don't think being accepted or rejected from this audition...

is that important for Ji Won at this stage.

What? What are you talking about?

Are you telling me it's okay if she's rejected or disqualified...

from every audition or competition?

No. Competitions and auditions...

are important.

But I think if Ji Won...

doesn't get obsessed with ranks or results,

and if you trust her and watch her from behind,

she'll become a great violinist later.

Why should I trust you?

I'm majoring in violin too.

I know better since...

I play the same instrument.

About how big a talent...

Ji Won has within her.

It's something she's so good at and has so much talent in.

She shouldn't grow to dislike it.

I'm sorry to put you through this.

Is the new semester starting soon?

Yes.

Whenever you won...

a competition before,

everyone said it was amazing, so I thought so too.

But it never felt very real to me.

But when I heard you'll graduate from Seoryeong University,

that made me the happiest.

I feel so grateful to Director Nah.

But how did you...

come up with the money for my surgery?

I took care of it.

You had money?

I got it somehow.

From where?

I'll come back tomorrow. Get some rest.

Oh, okay.

Get home safely.

Goodbye.

You have a good son.

Come to the school. I have something to tell you.

Here.

Thank you.

Which day is good for you?

- Sorry? - Why are you surprised?

I'll make time for your lessons during the second semester.

Oh, don't forget to submit the request form.

Don't bother my assistant later and do it soon. Got it?

Okay?

Okay.

Then is it your last semester?

- Yes. - Yes.

You sent your last summer at our foundation.

I hope it was fruitful for you.

I had such a great time.

Me too.

Hae Na, did you decide to go study abroad?

Oh, maybe.

I haven't made up my mind yet.

Song Ah, what about you?

Have you decided what you'll do after you graduate?

Yes.

May I ask what it is?

I'm thinking of going to graduate school...

at Seoryeong University.

Song Ah, you need to discuss that with the professor first.

Yes, I did.

And I decided to take the exam.

Well, how about a toast?

For Song Ah to be accepted into grad school.

- Yes. - Okay.

How much worse must you make me feel around Jung Kyung?

Do you know what I think whenever I see her?

Welcome.

How have you been?

What is it?

I brought on-the-spot tteokbokki.

Hey. What's the difference between on-the-spot tteokbokki...

and regular tteokbokki?

I'm just curious.

How you became obsessed...

with on-the-spot tteokbokki.

On-the-spot tteokbokki is usually not sold in single portions.

I like it because they sell more than two servings.

It feels like there's someone who can eat it with me.

I see.

My mom is in the hospital.

Why? Is she ill?

Something is wrong with a blood vessel in her brain,

so she had surgery.

Will she be okay now?

Well, that's what the doctor says.

But...

I'm not okay.

Why?

I borrowed money for the surgery...

from Director Nah.

You know,

for almost seven years,

I performed over 100 or 120 concerts...

every single year,

but I only had 3,000 dollars in my bank account.

What about your dad?

He's broke.

Even if my mom is sick, he doesn't want to help.

Goodness.

But still, it's nice to be in Korea with you.

I can come over to see you whenever I want.

Even if you're busy with school,

you should come to our performances sometimes.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'll make sure I don't miss...

the foundation's anniversary party at least.

Park Joon Young, Lee Jung Kyung, Han Hyeon Ho.

It's my first time seeing their piano trio in person,

so I'm looking forward to it very much.

Give me a second.

- Ms. Cha. - Yes?

Can you call Mr. Park and ask him to come?

- Why? - I just want to take advantage...

of this opportunity as his big fan.

Why would you take advantage of something like that?

I mean, we shouldn't let Mr. Park eat dinner alone.

Doesn't he live right over there in Juwon Apartments?

I'll try, but don't get your hopes up.

I love you, Ms. Cha.

I feel much better after talking to you.

Do you?

I feel like I want to die.

What?

Excuse me. Can you ring me up for this?

Okay.

Hey, Joon Young. Did you have dinner?

Not yet.

Oh, are you outside?

Yes. I'm at Hyeon Ho's store.

Oh, I see.

I called to ask you something while it's on my mind.

What is it?

The anniversary party you're playing at with your trio.

Yes.

Did you talk about it with the others?

It'll be too awkward to go ahead with it, right?

Young In.

I don't quite understand...

The others haven't told you yet.

Then I'll just share the facts.

"Träumerei"...

is just one of many piano pieces.

That's it.

Not playing it doesn't hurt anyone,

and playing it makes no difference.

My gosh, this is a monster.

The bouquet is the size of a grown man.

- Your boyfriend must adore you. - He does.

I knew from the start that he liked me.

If you really like someone, you don't confuse them.

Is it not love if it's confusing?

I'm not talking about myself.

A friend of mine.

I think they're flirting,

but she's not sure if it's just her or if it's a two-way thing.

You must ask to be sure.

"What are we doing? Let's make it clear."

Tell her to ask him.

It's humiliating if it was just her and not him.

That's a better outcome.

Why waste your emotions if you stand no chance?

Everyone's busy these days.

Drink up. Cheers.

By the way,

one of my friends...

Go on.

Never mind.

I hate it when people stop talking.

What is your friend's problem?

It's nothing at all.

Ms. Cha.

Is Mr. Park coming?

- I called. - And?

Joon Young's with someone.

He had prior plans.

What were you talking about?

Song Ah's love life.

No, no.

Hey, Song Ah.

It's not me. It's my friend.

Of course it is. Your friend, not you.

What about that friend?

Go on.

So, it's like...

She knows this guy,

and he only calls her when he's lonely and stressed out.

To say that he misses her and wants to see her.

But when they meet up,

he won't say what gave him a hard time,

or what happened.

She doesn't get to hear anything she wanted.

That's mean of him.

I don't think they're even flirting, are they?

They're not.

That definitely means he likes her.

Think about it.

He cares about her, so he keeps thinking of her,

and he keeps contacting her.

He wants to lean on her.

That's what it is.

Did you...

break up with Jung Kyung?

We just had a fight.

It's not serious.

Why am I making excuses to you?

How big was this fight that I heard about it from someone else?

Excuse me. Can I buy some cigarettes?

Sure.

I'm busy. Go home.

- Hi, Joon Young. - Jung Kyung.

- Did you and Hyeon Ho... - Yes.

I broke up with him.

Lee Jung Kyung.

How do you feel whenever you see me?

Tell me.

How do you feel?

That's why you should do better.

Hey, don't you look where you're going?

Hello?

- You, on the phone. - Hello? Lee Jung Kyung.

Yes. I'm still here.

Are you drunk?

Where are you? Outside?

I'm outside your place.

I'll come over. Wait inside, not out there.

I'll text you the entrance code.

(Suite 1203. Code is 0715.)

My taxi's nearby.

What about yours, Song Ah?

It's almost here. You can go ahead.

- Go on. - Okay then.

- Song Ah. - Yes?

Never mind.

You did so well for us.

I hope we can go on seeing each other.

Me too. Thank you for everything.

I should thank you.

- Get home safely. - Goodbye.

Bye.

(To Song Ah)

(Joon Young, something really great happened today.)

Joon Young. Are you back home?

Is Mr. Park coming?

- I called. - And?

Joon Young's with someone.

Jung Kyung.

This is hard to endure.

Don't take too long and come back to me.

Gosh, Song Ah. You must've practiced so hard during the break.

- What? - Your scar looks darker.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

I heard you did an internship.

Did you have time to practice?

I just practiced more on the weekends...

and sometimes during lunch at work.

During lunch at work? Where?

There was a rehearsal room at work.

Oh, I see.

Some musicians came over to practice too.

Like who?

Well, like Park Joon...

Park who?

Park Joon Young.

My gosh, that's amazing. Did you meet Park Joon Young then?

- Yes. - Soo Jeong, let's go eat.

Song Ah, let's go.

You guys can go.

Enjoy your lunch then.

By the time the calluses on my fingers hardened,

I thought my heart would have toughened as well.

He's so handsome.

- Thank you. - You're so handsome.

Since there was...

nothing special between us.

That I would be...

okay now.

I told myself that every day.

Song Ah.

Song Ah.

Song Ah.

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm okay.

No.

I'm not okay.

I...

like...

I like you.

It's something I can't help.

I like you very much.

I like you, Joon Young.

My grand plan to fall back on...

my toughened heart...

has totally failed.

(Do you like Brahms?)
