Episode 2

Suji Lee

Suah Lee

A friend you have since the day you were born...

That was what Suah and I were to each other.

We were always together.

If I took the lead, Suah was there, right behind me.

Back then, I thought that staying one step ahead of her

was the way to protect her.

But I soon realized...

- If I wanted to protect her bright smile... - Suji!

I had to stay beside her to hold her hand,

and at times, stand back,

and become her shadow.

But now, her bright smile is gone.

Doesn't that mean her shadow should disappear as well?

Suah told me she had a twin sister.

I guess you wanted to avoid people, too.

I'll leave you alone with her.

I need to ask you something.

What really happened a year ago?

What was your relationship with Suah?

Why do you want to know after all this time?

What does it really matter?

People are talking about her again...

That's the price you pay for being an idol.

People care more about gossip than a tragic death.

And your sister Suah was an idol. You should know.

I do, but...

Was there really more to it?

Is that why you disappeared?

What difference does it make if there was?

What?

Don't listen to gossip and live your life.

Digging into what happened

won't bring your sister back.

You're right.

It won't.

Because Suah...

...isn't here anymore.

Do you still...

run marathons?

Suah told me you were a great runner.

- So... - No.

I don't run anymore.

Goodbye.

Certificate of Completion Pyeongtaek Port Marathon Race

Do you still...

run marathons?

Suah told me you were a great runner.

Shinhyuk Kang? Who's that?

The person I trust the most besides you.

My producer.

Mom and dad will be disappointed if they hear that.

I'm just saying. He's an amazing producer.

You've changed a lot.

You never used to trust people.

I still don't. You have to stay sharp in this business.

But?

But he's different.

He's....

You'll know for yourself if you meet him.

- Good morning. - Morning.

Did you go home late last night?

- Last night? - Weren't you practicing all night?

No, I didn't practice yesterday...

Oh, did you see my sister?

- What? - She was here yesterday.

Oh, your twin?

Yeah. Did you see her? She looks like me, doesn't she?

We're exactly the same.

Yeah. Okay.

No wonder she seemed a bit different.

Does she dance, too?

What? Dance?

There's no way she'd dance.

She's actually a marathoner.

No.

I don't run anymore.

825 Entertainment CEO Minchul Shim

I need a favor.

Can you find someone for me?

Anyone else?

Hey listen boy, good luck with you

I'm different from the beginning, hot issue

Cut all the boring crap

Move away, your spot is mine

I'm awesome and you know it

You stand beside me and you're out-shined

I feel your jealousy

Fame just comes along, oh yes

You better stop but I'm gonna be on top

I'm different, way better than you

Hush, it's time for the finale

You're crushed so run

CEO Minchul Shim

- You were great. Really great. - Thanks.

825 Entertainment?

It's my friend's birthday today.

Can you sing a song for her?

- Just one song. - Please.

Well...

I heard other places light firecrackers for their customers' birthdays.

- Yeah. - I don't know...

- Please. - Just one song.

Okay, then just one song.

Born in winter, my beautiful darling

Pure as snow, my only darling

Born in winter...

- Hey, this is for you. - What is this?

825 Entertainment CEO Minchul Shim

I found the most famous producer in Korea.

Go to Korea, now!

I'm worn out.

How'd you find me?

I need to know. Why'd you quit running?

You came all the way here to ask me that?

I just...

...didn't know why I should run anymore.

I always came in 2nd place so it's okay.

You should start running again.

- What? - Start running again.

Even if I do, I don't know if I can finish the race.

It's okay. That doesn't matter.

- But I... - Are you sure you gave it your best?

What were you running towards?

I don't know.

I can't even see where I'm going.

I'm lost.

Or maybe you've just closed your eyes on purpose.

I went out sea fishing one time.

I lost track of time and ended up drifting

in the middle of the ocean at night.

It was dark and I couldn't see a thing.

But then a lighthouse beamed a light

and there was a shining bright path right in the middle of the sea.

I couldn't see the lighthouse during the day,

but does that mean the lighthouse wasn't there?

No, it was there. It just wasn't shining its light yet.

If you open your eyes, you'll see a path.

This narrow alley is a path, and the big road out there is a path, too.

But if you keep your eyes shut,

you won't find a path, anywhere.

Open your eyes. And start running again.

I know.

But what does it matter if I run or not?

Just run.

Not on the tracks, but on stage this time.

What?

Become an idol.

Fulfill Suah's dream, the one she couldn't.

If you do, I'll tell you what happened with Suah a year ago.

Not what people are gossiping about but the real truth.

I know you want to know.

Become an idol.

Fulfill Suah's dream, the one she couldn't.

Open your eyes. And start running again.

Rehearsal's over. Come see me for a minute.

I'll kill you if you leave. I'll be right there.

Even the way she threatens is cute.

- It's Suah. - Really?

Oh, my god. It's her. It's her.

You're Red Queen's Suah, right? - Oh, my god.

I'm sorry, I'm not.

You are. Can I take a photo with you?

- I'm really not Suah. - Can I have an autograph then?

I'm sorry. I'm not Suah.

Come on, let's go.

Sorry about that.

Was that a fake version of Suah?

She must've gotten her face fixed to look like her.

That's so sick.

It was so pretty.

- You want to try it on? - But it's yours.

- Looks good on you. - Really?

Yeah, like a princess.

You can have it back.

Do you want to sing?

Me? But you wanted to sing.

I don't like standing up in front of people.

But you do.

I really, really do.

But this is your part...

You were chosen for the lead.

Not me.

Come on. We're twins.

We look the same so no one will know.

I'm you and you're me.

This lollipop will make your dreams come true.

That's what the dentist said.

If you eat it and make a wish, your teeth won't hurt.

I just ate one and wished to be the princess.

And it came true.

You should make a wish, too.

I never ate that lollipop.

I hid my feelings for my sister's sake.

I thought it would spill out.

I almost ended up at the last stop again.

How can I become an idol? There's no way.

Pull yourself together, Suji. Chin up!

The audition is at 4:00. Don't be late.

Do you have time on Sunday?

I don't know. What's up?

Let's go see a movie.

I'll let you know tomorrow. What's your number?

When I was young, I would dance whenever a song was playing.

My dad realized I had talent early on, and because of him,

I was able to pursue my dream of becoming a singer earlier than most.

But reality was harsh.

There were so many kids who were much more talented than I was.

I was only one of many.

The years went by as a trainee.

Oh, my god!

Every time I failed to debut,

my heart became numb,

and I longed for success all the more.

So what? It's just an audition

Yeah? Well I am.

You betrayed your team so you could make it on your own.

And you didn't even bother to tell us!

No, I couldn't.

God, give me a sign if I shouldn't do this.

Make Suah appear or something.

Not like that.

Suah?

No way.

Eek!

Just go away.

What do you want?

You still have anything to say to us?

Watch it, kid.

Now that's the Nakyung I know.

Loved how you played the victim before.

You should be an actress.

Whatever. Youngjoo isn't there, is she?

Youngjoo? Why are you asking about her?

You want to get back at her or something?

Nakyung is looking for Youngjoo? Why?

- Call Youngjoo. - Okay.

Youngjoo is probably auditioning for another agency by now.

An audition?

What are you talking about? She's training with us.

You guys never learn, do you?

She stabbed you in the back, get it?

- Where's Youngjoo? - Jane.

Youngjoo Heo!

Why is she so fast? Is she an athlete or something?

Anyway, that can't be Suah.

Where are you? Aren't you coming to the audition?

Oh, right. The audition.

Jane

Missed Call Jane

Jane/Sori/Jane/Sori...

What am I going to do?

Dad?

I realized at that moment.

That the dream that I wrote on countless balloons as a girl

wasn't over. It was just beginning.

I'm sorry about last time. Have a lollipop and don't be mad.

What the... It's from that monkey?

I'm not going.

I'm going to make it work with my team.

It's time to start dreaming again.

Jane! Jane!

You! You're just like Nakyung!

I looked up to you, you know.

How could you?

Jane...

Youngjoo....

Nakyung called and said you were going to another agency.

Hey.

I'm not going anywhere.

- Really? - I'm not going.

I'm going to make it work with my team.

I knew it.

Our leader would never do something like that.

You should've said something.

I'm sorry.

Jane lugged that trash bag from all the way over there.

Cut it out!

I looked up to you, you know.

Stop it!

- Come on. - Wait up.

Mom, Dad. I'm sorry.

If I can't trust the grown ups,

I'm going to trust in these girls.

3:00 p.m. tomorrow. Be there.

Suah, we hope you're happy in heaven.

Look at all those people who love you and remember you.

I could never take your place...

Thank you. But I can't.

Suji...

This lollipop will make your dreams come true.

I hope your dreams will come true, too.

Take it.

Okay, I'll start running again, Suah.

Watch over me.

She's so pretty. She changed her entire style.

Celebrities really are different.

Who cares about Red Queen?

I can't believe Nakyung took Suah's spot.

She's nowhere near as good as her. So annoying.

It's infuriating but people like her.

People are so easy.

They're quick to forget and like someone just as fast.

Let's go if you're done. Time to practice.

Hurry up.

Come on, we have to go. Put it down.

Who's she?

Is she going into our office?

Is she here to audition?

She can't be. It's only been two weeks. How'd she even know about the agency?

- Yeah, I guess. - Yeah.

She really is going into our office.

No way.

Oh, a cat.

What the...

- What...? - I guess we were wrong.

- Let's go inside. - Yeah.

We have enough already. Who needs more trainees?

Who are you?

Me? I'm a trainee here, starting today.

Me, too.

More trainees? Three in total?

No, one more.

What's going on? Where are you?

I'll explain when I get there. I'm almost there.

Okay.

- Okay? Okay? - Yes! Finally!

Yes!

Red Queen! Red Queen!

I'll do the introductions.

This is your new producer.

- A new producer? - Our producer?

You have more trainees now

I like to go treasure hunting.

I'm Shinhyuk Kang. From the looks on your faces,

I can tell you already know who I am. Am I right?

Of course they know you. Who doesn't?

- Right, girls? - Yes.

Is she not coming?

- There's more? - There's more?

Practice Studio 1

Can I have your autograph, too?

Sure.

That's cute.

You're Youngjoo Heo from JD Entertainment, right?

You know who I am?

Of course. You're one of the top three prettiest trainees.

I've always wanted to see you perform.

I hope I get to see you soon. Good luck.

Hi. I'm Suji.

I'm Red Queen Suah's twin sister.
