I told you, didn't I?

I told you to focus on what you have instead of doing this!

I already promised Chan Young.

I told him I'd work with him for the next three years.

I promised him I'd go to him whenever he calls me.

So I can't listen to this song.

Father.

Kang Han Gyeol.

Long time no see.

This is nice.

Should I take off my shoes?

You don't have to.

You can put your stuff anywhere.

You have a great place.

This looks bigger than your old one. When did you move here?

About two years ago.

What's that?

- Is this a recording studio? - Yes.

Is it soundproofed?

Of course. I sometimes record songs home.

Did you do this all on your own?

Of course. Who else would have done it?

- What brings you here? - Is that your kitchen?

Let's have dinner together. I've been waiting for you.

It's too late for dinner.

I waited for you outside for hours.

Don't you have any food?

There's some in the fridge. Have whatever you want.

All right.

I mean, why are you here?

Can't a father come see his son?

Hyun Jung told me.

Did you go see the crew?

Of course. Where else can I go in Seoul?

When did you come to Seoul?

About two months ago?

It took you all this time to show up?

Were you too busy busking on the streets?

I did it a couple of times. How did you know?

I saw a video.

I was...

It's nothing.

There are a lot of empty rooms. Just use that one.

("Teenage Band 'Mush and Co' Debuts")

("Major Artists to Participate in Production")

("I'm Okay")

(Soo Yeon)

Hello? Why are you calling me?

We're in big trouble.

Pardon? What is it?

- Mr. Choi knows about your videos. - Mr. Choi.

We're on our way home.

Come to the office.

Pardon? Right now?

Yes, sir.

What were you thinking?

Did you get sick of the easy success?

Maybe you want to roll in mud for a change.

It's not like that. We didn't put much thought...

Did you breach the contract without much thought?

Did it say in the contract that we're not allowed to play?

No, but it says you can't leak stuff that could hinder our business.

Right. Everything is business to you.

Us, and music too.

You better get rid of that attitude.

Don't act like you don't sell yourself and music for money.

That's hypocritical and ridiculous.

Hypocritical?

Is there anything more hypocritical than what we're already doing?

Every time we're on stage,

we fear someone will notice...

that we're fake!

Fake? Then what about the staff that support you?

Are they giving up their lives to make fake music?

Don't bother differentiating real music and fake music.

Don't you know how much money and effort is put into you?

Don't make the company see a loss because of your feelings!

- Does Han Gyeol know? - He doesn't.

So please don't tell him.

Please.

Hey.

I'm sorry, Chan Young.

We didn't start it hoping to become viral.

- We just wanted people to... - It's been five years,

but nothing changed.

You still treat me like an outsider.

You're the same as Mr. Choi.

Have you considered how this will affect me?

Why didn't you think about that before worrying about Han Gyeol?

I'm sorry.

- We really have no excuse... - I don't need your apology.

I never know when you three will stab me in the back.

I should always be on my toes.

I should thank you instead.

Chan Young.

That video isn't our boys.

Come on, why are you trying to hide the obvious?

Are you saying you'll act oblivious since the account is deleted?

Is that what it is?

It's you that's making up stories.

There isn't a face in the shot. How are they our boys?

All you can write in the article...

is that a guitar player claimed it during a drinking party.

Aside from it being real or not,

you will never get the approval to release the article.

The public can decide for themselves after I publish it.

Do you think that would change anything?

The public couldn't care less.

Perhaps just a few kids in the music industry might make comments.

Exactly. Give me something with more substance instead then.

For example, a romantic relationship between you and Chae Yoo Na.

A romance with the CEO of an agency who's 11 years older.

Wouldn't that cause up a stir?

What about a full page exclusive on their wedding?

Pardon?

A full page?

Not about dating, but a wedding?

We were going to announce it next month,

but we'll give you the exclusive in advance.

- I have to think about it as well. - Don't get smart.

I already talked to your editor in chief.

Let's talk later, Mr. Choi.

Thank you for your help.

Don't thank me.

If you were going to solve everything, you'd be sitting here.

Anyway, this became an opportunity for you to realize your place...

and what you should be focusing on.

Right, Mr. Choi?

(Han Gyeol)

(Incoming call, Han Gyeol)

The number you're calling is not available...

Is he not back yet?

(Si Hyun)

Han Gyeol.

(So Rim)

(So Rim)

(I will call you back later.)

Han Gyeol.

Kang Han Gyeol!

Han Gyeol, Han Gyeol, Han Gyeol!

Han Gyeol, Han Gyeol, Han Gyeol!

Were you listening to music? What took you so long?

Turn down the volume, or you'll ruin your ears.

Ears are important to musicians.

I told you I'm not hungry.

Father, Father!

Did you just use all of this?

Yes. It was in the fridge.

Don't let food go bad. It was turning black.

It wasn't going bad. It's truffle.

This is really precious.

Is it? I didn't know.

I thought it was turning black...

due to mold.

It's not mold.

Wait. Were you going to feed me mold?

The number you're calling is not available. Leave a message...

after the beep.

I'm confident. I wrote it for you.

Will you listen to it?

("Waiting for You")

I can't.

What?

Hello?

Can you come out for a minute?

- Pardon? - I'm in front of your place.

It'll only be a minute.

(Happy Fruits and Vegetables)

I'm sorry. I know it's late.

I saw your debut article.

I couldn't congratulate you right away since I was out of the country.

It's okay, you were busy. I understand.

I still wanted to congratulate you first.

Did something happen?

I know he'll want to write you a song.

I'm talking about Han Gyeol.

He's attached to voices. I'm sure he'll want to.

I just know it.

You like him, right?

Pardon?

Well, I...

I'm already at a disadvantage, but now I'm no game for him.

Don't worry, I already declined.

- What? - I declined his song.

- I told him I can't sing it yet. - Why not?

I already promised you I'd work with you.

I told you I'll do my best.

In a battle...

where the opponent doesn't want to win,

I can't win either.

Do you think...

there's winning and losing in music?

The one that wants to win is probably losing, right?

But...

I'm going to stay by your side.

No matter what kind of obstacles come my way,

I'm ready to do it with you.

I won't let you go as long as you trust me.

What brings you here at this hour?

You've been ignoring my calls all day.

I'm sorry. I've been busy today.

- What's up? - Shouldn't you know?

The contract for the commercial.

What are you thinking?

If you're upset it didn't get renewed...

That's not the problem.

They're complete newbies who just debuted.

How can you give it to them?

It's just a one-time thing. Don't be sensitive about it.

Don't be sensitive about it?

Do you know what people are saying?

Everyone is talking about how I'm already being treated like a goner.

You know,

they're right. My voice isn't like what it used to be,

and the CEO just thinks about how he can use and sell me.

Also, I'm losing all of my commercial contracts!

Of course people would be saying that.

Aren't I right?

- Yoo Na, wait. - Forget it.

I don't want to hear anything from you.

Where are you going so early in the morning?

I have work to do.

It's the weekend. Why are you going so early?

You know that there's no such thing as "weekend" in our line of work.

I'll see you later.

What's the matter? Is it because I'm here?

Do you feel uncomfortable to be home?

It looks like you're the one who's uncomfortable.

That must be why you keep trying to act like a nice dad.

You don't need to do that. Just be yourself.

Make yourself at home.

(See you tomorrow. I have a gift for you too.)

(Han Gyeol)

(Happy Fruits and Vegetables)

Hello, how can I help you?

Are you the cocoa man?

Runaway girl!

I'm not a runaway.

What a coincidence.

Did you run away from home to work here or what?

It's so nice to see you again.

By the way, do you live around here?

No. I don't, but someone I know does.

Who is it?

Just someone...

who doesn't like me.

But I like him a lot.

I see.

Why do you ask?

There's someone like that in my life as well.

That jerk who made you wait last time?

I told you that he's not a jerk.

He's just...

very busy.

If he's not a jerk, why do you look so sad?

I just haven't been able to get a hold of him, that's all.

If I really think about it,

it has gotten so much better compared to before.

I used to be thrilled to receive one text message from him a day.

But these days...

I'm not sure.

Why do we want more when we become closer to someone?

It's because of expectation.

Of what?

You want to be able...

to lean on the person completely.

You want to trust and depend on the person. You expect him...

to become that person for you. That's probably what it is.

I should get going.

Don't mind what I just said.

It was just nonsense.

I was going to buy something, but I can't remember.

We have delicious mushrooms.

Are you here to buy mushrooms?

I should buy some. That's great.

This guy loves mushrooms.

He has a stash of mushrooms that is worth thousands of dollars.

There really is a guy like that.

- Are you serious? - Yes, he's my son.

I hope he becomes our regular customer.

It'll sound even better if you can push the beat a bit.

Si Hyun. When did you get back to Korea?

What? Last night.

Seriously? I didn't hear from you, so I assumed you weren't back yet.

I'm sorry. I forgot to text you back because I was too tired.

- Did something happen? - What?

You don't look so well.

I'm fine. I'm just a little downcast.

You must be exhausted from the tight schedule...

Just a second.

Hey, isn't that So Rim?

I'm okay with it. You should answer.

No, don't worry. I'm not ignoring it because of you.

Then what is it?

I'm mad at her.

What? Why?

She said...

she doesn't want to sing my song.

Did you give her your song?

Yes. It's the second time. She has rejected me twice.

Tell me. Shouldn't she say yes after everything I've done?

I mean, she said she likes me. How can she do this to me?

Do you think she lied about liking me?

Otherwise, how can she say no without even listening to my song?

She could probably say no because she didn't listen to it.

Had she heard the song, she would've said yes.

Then if I make her listen to the song...

Hey, Han Gyeol. Why are you trying so hard?

Do you want her to sing your song more than us?

This hurts my feelings.

- What? - Never mind.

I should get going. I have to practice.

What?

This is so nice. You should wear this.

Try it on.

(Search)

Hurry up and pick an outfit.

This looks good on you.

No, hats don't suit me.

- You guys should try them on. - All of these?

Of course. Finalizing the styling theme is so important.

Don't worry about a thing and go put this on.

So Rim, you look stunning.

This kind of style suits you too.

My gosh, look at you. They say that clothes make the girl.

You look gorgeous.

What are you talking about? It doesn't look good on her at all.

Hey, you're drooling. Wipe your saliva before you talk.

She should dress like this all the time.

- So Rim. - Yes?

Do you want to try putting on make up?

You're all dressed up too. Don't you want to see the whole look?

Shall I ask her to meet up with me and turn on the speaker?

What if I send her an email where the song would play automatically?

- Hello? - You finally picked up.

What's up?

Can we talk in person?

What?

I'm right in front of the practice room now.

Why are you just standing there?

I thought you might get mad at me if I just walked in.

You're making me feel like a bad person again.

You're angry at me because I said no to your song, right?

That must be why you've been ignoring my calls and messages.

Why are you looking at me like that?

What?

I guess you're still mad at me. Aren't I right?

No, no. It's not like that.

Are you really not mad at me?

No, I said I'm not.

By the way, what's up with that outfit?

We were trying on some clothes to finalize our styling concept,

and I spotted you by coincidence.

Does it look bad?

No, it's not that.

You're still so young. That lipstick is too bold.

Oh, it's a bass guitar.

Were you playing it?

Yes, just a little bit.

Right. You used to be a bassist, right?

Yes. That's the very first instrument I learned.

- Can you show me? - What?

I want to see you play the bass guitar.

- You can't. - Why not?

Unless the whole band is here, I can't play.

Then I'll try.

Oh, it's heavy.

Do you play it the same way as you play the guitar?

Yes, except that the bass has two less strings.

If I want to play the G chord...

That's not how you do it.

If this was a guitar,

there would be two more strings...

and you would hold it like this.

Now, you'll use only this string.

Hold this string only, not any others.

On this side,

put your shoulder down.

Place your hand here, and use these two fingers.

- Like this? - Yes.

Hey, that was too predictable.

- What? - Chan Young.

I was just passing by, and I saw you.

Did I interrupt you?

You should knock next time.

You didn't interrupt anything.

Welcome.

So Rim, is it a special day today?

- Why? - You look so pretty.

We're trying out different outfits to decide on our concept.

I'll go change.

Already? That's a shame.

You look great.

You think so? Thank you.

See you around, So Rim.

- I have to go somewhere soon. - See you soon.

- Han Gyeol, can we talk? - Me?

I actually came to talk to you.

What's the matter?

I thought you quit playing the bass for good.

If you can still teach someone,

I guess your skills are still there.

Are you here to pick a fight?

Don't waste time and just get to the point.

Did you give So Rim a song?

It wasn't for her debut.

- It didn't have much meaning. - It didn't have much meaning?

Yes, it did.

You're using Mr. Choi's kindness.

What?

I'm not stupid.

I know Mr. Choi hasn't completely given up on you.

Mush and Co's debut was announced while I was abroad.

Even the producer's name wasn't specified.

I know you feel offended,

but you don't have to. So Rim will...

I know So Rim refused your song.

I'm going to pay her back...

for choosing me.

So...

please stop coming between us.

Pretty boy, shiny boy

Who is it?

What?

Who's playing the bass instead of me?

You must be curious.

I put a lot of effort...

in finding someone who will play your part.

- Why? - You have to be special.

We have to make people think,

in addition to writing songs, you can even play the bass this well.

What? Did you think you're a good bassist?

A guy should say first

Don't sing that song.

Sorry?

It's okay if you don't want to sing my song, but...

please don't sing his song either.

Han Gyeol.

Yoo Na, what brings you here?

I have something to tell you.

Do you have a minute?

What is it?

I want you to write me a song.

I thought we were done with this.

Can't you give it a second thought?

What?

I need your song.

Aren't you ashamed?

Why didn't you ask me when we were together?

I was blind back then. I might have been able to say yes.

Don't you think?

I was in love with you back then.

I was afraid you might think...

I'm not good enough to sing your song.

Just like Crude Play can't play your songs themselves.

Am I not ashamed?

Yes, I am.

But compared to when I was in love with you,

this is nothing.

Back then, I might have had to lose my love as well.

Now, all I'll ever lose is my pride.

Why do you have to do this?

Do you think it makes me happy...

to see you swallow your pride?

Once you're in a swamp,

it's hard to get out.

I've fallen deep enough.

I can't go on like this.

Han Gyeol, what's the matter?

Is this how you want to do your business?

Am I doing so bad to hear you ask that?

I'm talking about Yoo Na's commercial.

Before you give it to Mush and Co,

did you talk to Yoo Na?

The advertiser wanted a new face. What can I do?

Once you're over the hill, you're abandoned.

Did you say that to Yoo Na as well?

I met her yesterday.

She asked me to write her a song. She looked very unstable.

And? Are you going to do it?

I heard So Rim refused your song.

Why are you bringing that up here?

I'd like to give a chance to the player outside the ring.

- Sorry? - Send it to me.

The song you wrote for So Rim.

Give your song to Yoo Na,

and I'll give you So Rim.

How can you say such a thing?

How can you be so...

I'm asking you for help.

I need to compensate Yoo Na for the lost commercial contract.

You know she's going through a hard time, right?

You were once in love with her.

- Still... - What's to lose?

You might lose So Rim to Chan Young for good.

He's very persistent.

I'm going to pay her back...

for choosing me.

So please stop coming between us.

Pretty boy, shiny boy, all I see is you

Look how nervous I am

You're here.

- You're late. - You were early.

Are you ready?

Now that you're here, we could...

What are you talking about?

You should be ready when I come.

I don't have much time.

I can do only the really necessary things.

Pull yourselves together.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Where are you going?

I can't practice any more for today.

I'm not in the mood.

What did you just say?

Hey, wait.

Gosh, he's driving me crazy.

I've listened to the song for So Rim.

Please write one for Yoo Na too.

Hello.

Where are you going? Is the practice over?

They're not ready up there.

I'll come back when they are.

Do you think he'd wait for you?

Han Yoo Seok is not the same anymore.

He became a businessman long time ago.

He doesn't get on stage to sing the music you love.

Then I guess...

I won't be coming back.

Father.

What are you doing here?

I was wondering why you were back in Seoul.

You were going to play in Han Yoo Seok's concert?

Have you no pride?

How could you play for him?

How is that possible for someone with a straight mind?

He stole your music! All of it!

Han Gyeol, you've been acting too sensitive about this.

You've crossed the line this time.

I thought I told you already.

Do you enjoy turning people into fools?

I told you, it's not like that.

- I meant well... - You meant well?

How is this any good for us?

I don't need your sympathy.

Sure. Picking and choosing favors you want is one way to live.

However, I'm a bit upset.

You didn't say anything when I blocked...

Crude Play's scandal from spreading.

I saved them from the ditch they dug up themselves.

- How can you act like that? - What do you mean?

What scandal?

What trouble did they make?

Let's talk alone.

You should calm down now.

- It's been resolved already. - No.

I must hear why they did it.

What is it that you want them to tell you? Being this upset?

Why doesn't the company make them play themselves?

Are they not talented?

Or is it because they have no hope?

Well?

If they play,

it'll only drop efficiency.

They're just dolls.

They have responsibilities as stars.

If they focused on that, it's easier to make money.

That's entertainment industry, and that's business.

Also, that's...

the easiest and fastest way for you to introduce your music.

Am I wrong?

What you're trying to protect is the same thing.

Don't act like you know it all.

I'm not.

I'm sure no one had the courage to tell you this until now.

- But... - Then should I...

say something to you that no one else can too?

You're not free.

You don't have the confidence to be responsible for your music.

Just like how you left Mother and me.

I'm sick of you dropping and acting like a father when you feel like it.

I'm different from you.

Even if I become the bad guy,

I'll be responsible for what I should be.

Why did Han Gyeol call all of us?

Do you think maybe he heard about our video channel?

- No way. - I doubt it.

He has his mind somewhere else these days.

- Hey, what's with that scary face? - Why did you do it?

What?

Why did you post videos of you playing online?

Han Gyeol, it's been taken care of.

Ms. Yoo took care of it, and the article never got published.

The account is deleted now.

I'm not asking you...

because I want to understand you.

I'm just trying to break you so you won't act crazy again.

How is that acting crazy?

- What? - What did we do so wrong?

Hey, have you ever seen our videos even once?

Can you be confident that our playing is horrible?

Why should I see it?

What?

I watched you for 10 years.

I know how you play better than anyone.

If it's someone in music,

they can easily tell that the recording doesn't match up...

I don't know! I can't tell, okay?

I don't see what's so different between the recording and us.

Even if we play according to the music sheet,

we can never satisfy you and your ears.

I can't tell the difference.

I feel like I'm insufficient when I'm with you.

Did you know that?

Is that why you want to ruin all of us?

Is that what you really want?

Why did you start a band with us?

- Because we were friends! - What about now?

Just blurt it out.

It's work. It's business.

We put up a show, and you make music.

Then we make money. That's it.

You can't answer either.

What should we do?

I don't want to sing your songs anymore.

Even with the things shining like stars

We won't be swayed by them

Hey.

There will be a big crowd tonight, right?

I'm worried the whole place will be packed.

The people that couldn't come in can come to our second concert.

How can you say that when you made so many mistakes?

It's okay. Who cares about instruments?

They'll be blinded by my beauty.

And I'm charming.

And I'm dandy.

Can't you be more modest?

Hey, Han Gyeol. Don't you know confidence is key for a top star?

At this rate, we'll be embarrassed...

instead of becoming top stars.

Anyway, we'll go as far as we can.

Until the day Crude Play become top stars, okay?

- Let's go. - Let's do this.

- Crude... - Crude...

- Play! - Play!

Are you still mad?

I'm not mad.

I'm miserable.

Even if Han Gyeol writes you a song?

- What did you say? - He'll write you a song.

We'll use his song for your next single album.

You can sing with Si Hyun for the couple song.

I think that's enough to bring attention.

How did you manage that?

Did he just agree to it?

I took someone hostage.

I'm hungry. Let's go eat.

- Is it her again? - What?

What kind of person is she?

You, Chan Young,

and even Han Gyeol are on her side.

What is she like?

Yoon So Rim.

I knew it.

So? Have you guys decided on your debut song?

No, not yet. But it's obvious.

Which song?

I'll tell you after it's decided for certain.

Okay, I understand.

I'm sorry. The practice will start in a bit.

Really? Then you should get going.

- I'll take this to the front. - Okay.

- Here. Let's get going. - Thanks.

- Did you practice? - Of course I did.

Kyu Sun, where have you been?

Why didn't you pick up? We wanted to ask you to get some snacks.

You called?

My phone. Where did my phone go?

Did you lose it?

- Where were you? - I met up with Se Jeong briefly...

Gosh, you traitor.

I was wondering where you've been going every day after school.

Hey, that doesn't make me a traitor.

I'll be back. I have to go find my phone.

- Hello. - Hey.

Where are you going? Come here.

- Hello. - Hi, guys.

Guess what I brought.

Candidates for your debut song.

- My gosh. - Are you serious?

What kinds of songs are they?

Shall I give you guys a taste of each one?

The decision will be made this afternoon anyway.

- Yes! - Yes, please let us hear them.

(Mush and Co Debut Song Prospects)

(Demo by K, Demo 2 by Seo Chan Young)

Why are you standing there? Come have a seat.

Whose song was that?

The one you played after mine.

Who wrote it?

I guess you can tell right away.

Is it because you've been playing Han Gyeol's music for five years?

- Han Gyeol wrote the song? - Yes.

There are five songs in total including yours and his.

It'll be discussed at the executives' meeting in a bit.

They're all candidates for Mush and Co's debut song.

(Mush and Co Debut Song)

(File being moved to the trash)

Soo Yeon, did you get all the demo files for their debut song?

Yes, Mr. Choi. I have all five songs here.

I had a change of heart.

Use this. There are four songs in total.

Sure, I will.

Chan Young, what brings you here?

Are you happy now?

Are you gratified now that you've given your song to Mr. Choi?

- Oh, that. - How many times have I told you?

Ever since I met So Rim, I've been giving up my pride...

to tell you not to come in the way and stay where you should be.

I told you not to be greedy.

I met her before you did.

What?

I'm the one who met her...

and discovered her voice first.

That means I have the right to get involved as well.

Right. Of course you'd think like that.

Toying with someone's feelings for your music isn't a big deal for you.

You're basically saying that you're going to use the fact...

that she has a crush on you. Am I wrong?

This is an extremely important time in her life. Do you realize that?

How can you take it so lightly and fool around like that?

What if I'm serious?

What if I really mean it?

If I want to be with her...

and do everything with her including music, what will you do?

You should give up anyway.

Who are you to dictate that?

You're incapable of making anyone happy.

Take Yoo Na, for example.

You think so?

You could be right.

But that's for So Rim to decide, not you.

So know your place and mind your own business.

Just like how I'm not fixing your songs...

and paying Mr. Choi a visit to talk to him about it.

Right.

I bet you want to make everyone around you miserable like that.

The same goes for Crude Play.

Hadn't Choi Jin Hyuk been so greedy about releasing your songs quickly,

they would've been able to debut after getting enough practice.

They wouldn't have been fake like now.

The voting for Mush and Co's debut song has been completed.

- Yes, Mr. Choi. - We finalized the debut song.

Han Gyeol, it looks like you should let Chan Young have the chance.

Hello? Han Gyeol, are you there?

Yes, I'm listening.

Don't be too disappointed.

His song is great too.

It's easy,

and it'll showcase So Rim's voice well.

I like that attitude.

When will you finish the song for Yoo Na?

That was your goal, wasn't it?

I had two goals for you.

But one has gone down the drain,

so I need to make sure the other one is achieved.

Am I some kind of a machine?

Do you think I'm a songwriting machine?

You're a well-performing machine.

A very efficient one.

Gosh, this is so crazy.

Do you want to know something? From work, friends,

and to my ex-girlfriend, every aspect of my life involving music...

is associated with you. That drives me crazy.

So? Do you want to get away from me?

Yes, I need a space that has nothing to do with you or music.

Well, you and I are bound by a contract.

I'll have no choice if you don't want to renew your contract with us.

But I know that you'll come back.

To where music is.

It's because the thing that you value the most is music.

You'll only meet people through music.

You'll love and hurt people all your life...

only through music.

(To Chae Yoo Na)

(The mail has been sent.)

Your debut song is ready.

Are you excited?

- Do you want to hear it? - I'm so excited.

Please play it right now.

It's Chan Young's song.

I knew this would be chosen.

Why are you so quiet?

Aren't you happy?

I am. Of course I am.

Mr. Choi.

I'd like to ask you something.

What is it?

Why did you exclude K's song from the vote?

I thought it'd be more beneficial to the kids in the long run...

if they sing Chan Young's song now.

So Rim will start writing songs eventually.

In the beginning,

she should sing a song she can trample on.

Sorry?

"What if I change it like this?"

It'll give her ideas.

That's why they shouldn't sing Han Gyeol's song.

They'd want to protect it.

Compared to when I was in love with you, this is nothing.

Back then, I might have had to lose my love as well.

Now, all I'll ever lose is my pride.

I feel like I'm insufficient when I'm with you.

I bet you want to make everyone around you miserable like that.

Your song is great.

Even if everyone else hates the song,

I'll love it.

Hello.

We listened to our debut song today.

It was Chan Young's song.

I see.

Your song was...

one of the candidates, right?

Yes.

Are you okay?

You sound a bit depressed.

Do you want to meet up?

Let's do that.

("Waiting for You" final version)

("Waiting for You" first version)

She won't pick up.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Is this Se Jeong? - Yes, Kyu Sun.

I don't know how your phone ended up in my bag.

You probably put it in there by mistake.

That's a relief. I thought I lost it.

Don't worry. I'll give it to you at school tomorrow.

Thank you. Bye.

Thank goodness.

Hey. Was it Se Jeong?

(Lee Kyu Sun)

(So Rim, Jin Woo)

(So Rim, Jin Woo)

(You guys go to the practice room first. I have to stop by somewhere.)

(Where are you going?)

(It's none of your business.)

(Hey, why are you so quiet?)

- Hi. - Hello.

We've met once, right?

Was it twice?

Yes.

I heard Chan Young is producing you guys.

You guys are debuting a month before my comeback,

- right? - Yes.

I hope both you and I will get a good result.

Chan Young has never produced an album before,

and Han Gyeol has never given his song to anyone else than Crude Play.

- Sorry? - My single album will be...

produced by Han Gyeol.

Was it his idea?

Yes. Do you want to listen to it?

I think of you all the time

You must know this song.

It was one of the candidates for your debut song, right?

Han Gyeol wrote it.

I hope you don't get offended by me singing the song.

Why that song?

Looking into a mirror won't make you prettier.

When did you come? You startled me.

Were you so mesmerized by your own face?

I wasn't.

Did you cry?

- No. - You look like you cried.

What is it? Who made you sad?

Is it me?

- Why that song? - What do you mean?

You said you wrote that song for me.

Why did you give the song to Yoo Na?

Yoo Na?

What are you talking about?

You don't like it?

You don't want me to give it to Yoo Na?

I don't.

- I really don't. - Will you sing it then?

- Sorry? - If you'll sing it,

I won't give it to Yoo Na.

Like I said, I can't for now.

You don't have to debut with that song.

Just say that you'll sing it.

Like I said,

I've already promised Chan Young.

What if...

you can never see me again...

unless you sing my song?

What if you can't see me...

ever again?

Would you forget about that promise...

and choose me?

This is why I said I don't like girls who sing.

I always end up hurting...

whoever I'm connected to through music.

I brought this because I wanted to change.

But it still ended the same.

You can have it.

I'm sure you'll never listen to it though.

Chan Young.

I came to see the person I like.

But you look sad.

I'm not.

This is just...

I don't want to cry.

I don't want to cry.

You'll only meet people through music.

You'll love and hurt people...

all your life.

(Lovely Love Lie)

I want Mush and Co's song.

- Why must it be that song? - Because it's good.

You're greedier than I thought.

What did you wish for?

For him to like me.

I wished for the same.

I lied to you,

upset you, and never did anything nice to you. And why...

Han Gyeol lies a lot,

but he would never lie to hurt someone.

It's really your debut.

Put everything on the line and give your best.

People say that my life will change once I debut,

but it wasn't my debut that changed my life.
