Episode 12

Oh, no!

What's wrong with her?

- What happened to her? - Oh, no.

Taeri!

Thank you.

Good work. Go change. We'll meet back here in 10 minutes.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Taeri! - Taeri!

Taeri!

I always loved the stage ever since I was a little girl.

And on that stage, my brother Taewoo always shined like a star.

I wanted to be on stage like my brother.

But what am I doing here?

Hospital

Emergency Medical Center

Is she okay? What did the doctor say?

She has a eating disorder and anemia.

An eating disorder?

I didn't know. I thought I was looking out for her.

She's been given a sleeping pill to sleep.

The doctor says she should stay here a few days.

Okay.

Yeseul, you should go. I'll stay here.

No, I'll stay.

I want to.

Go and take care of the others.

The program has to be aired without a hitch.

Call the BJ and wrap things up.

Okay.

I'll come back as soon as I'm done.

Keep an eye on her until then.

Don't worry. I'll be here, too. Go.

Okay.

- Oh, no. - Will she be okay?

Is Taeri okay?

What is it?

It's acute anemia.

Anemia?

Anemia?

- Really? - But why?

She has a eating disorder.

She must've been under a lot of stress.

The doctor says there would've been signs.

Didn't you notice anything?

You really didn't know anything?

You girls have been practicing with her all this time.

Wait, is that why she said she couldn't perform yesterday?

I knew she was having a hard time these past few weeks,

but I just thought she was tired from all the practice.

We should go visit her.

Yeah, let's go.

Let her rest today. She just fell asleep.

Go back to the house and wait.

I'll call you when she wakes up. Okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Wait.

We don't have Taeri's stuff.

What?

It must be at the theater.

I told you not to forget anything.

I'll go. I have to make a stop anyway.

Will you?

- Thanks. - Thanks.

See you.

Yukika...

What'd the doctor say?

The doctor thinks she should quit the competition.

She needs absolute rest.

These things happen when training idol groups.

More so with girl groups who are constantly on a diet.

It's a shame.

In this line of business, your looks are everything.

And people are harsh critics when it comes to idols.

I know.

Still, I hoped that our girls would do well.

It's my fault for not taking better care of them.

What are you going to do?

We need to come up with some options just in case.

Just give me a little time.

Okay.

You should go home.

I'll wait for her family.

Okay.

I thought you went home.

I needed to talk to you.

Is Taeri in serious condition?

We'll have to see.

But she's not well.

I saw her throwing up at night one time.

I should've told you.

I didn't know things were this bad.

Don't be sad. It's not your fault.

Still...

Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom

to come back up again.

And when you do, it can be an entirely new world sometimes.

Really?

You've had the same experience.

You're right.

Come on. I'll take you home.

It's okay. I have to stop by the theater.

Taeri's stuff is still there.

Do, re, mi, we keep on singing today

Remembering forgotten promises

What is it?

Nothing.

What?

Well...

When I look at the stage...

It's just...

My heart keeps beating.

What?

I thought it was because the scare over Taeri at first.

But that's not it.

The stage...

I can't get the stage out of my mind.

What's wrong with me?

Will Taeri really be okay?

We've been too indifferent.

Yeah. We were so focused on the competition

that we didn't even know she was sick.

Yeah. We were bad. This is no fun.

Let's take better care of each other.

If you're not feeling well, say something right away.

Jiseul, you're not sick again are you?

Try not to work so hard.

What time are you coming home today?

I'm busy. I'm hanging up now.

Jiseul, don't be sick!

I wonder what the result will be tomorrow.

I couldn't say anything because of Taeri but I'm kind of curious, too.

Yeah, me too. We did really well today.

The idea for "Growl" was good,

and Suji's idea this time was good, too.

It was totally different from the other team.

Who'd think it was the same song?

So you think we'll win tomorrow?

We might.

No, we definitely can.

Be positive. We can win. We can win.

Being positive is important. Repeat after me, "Be positive!"

- Be positive! - Be positive!

I feel terrible.

For teasing Taeri over her weight.

No, I should've watched out for her.

Youngjoo has been too hard on her.

She was constantly saying she was fat and not any good.

Even I would've been stressed out.

Yeah, she can be a bit scary.

Why is this all my fault?

I said that for her own sake.

And you all agreed yesterday. Didn't you?

Well, we did yesterday...

But you can't deny you've been hard on her these past few weeks.

What?

Now that we're on the subject,

why have you changed so much?

You weren't like this before.

You say it's for the team?

Are you sure it's not for yourself?

Stop it.

You keep saying you're sincere,

but I don't know anymore.

Why do you have to keep saying it?

We used to just know before.

Stop it, both of you.

I know we're all sorry about Taeri,

but what's the point blaming each other?

And Youngjoo is right. It's not her fault alone.

None of us knew she was sick.

We didn't know she'd faint.

It just happened.

It's not anyone's fault.

So stop it.

We're all to blame.

No.

What is your problem anyway?

I did what I had to do to win, and we won.

We're not here to have fun.

We're doing everything we can to debut.

So tell me. What should I have done?

You should've told me you were having a hard time.

Hello.

I'm sorry for not taking better care of her. It's my fault.

I apologize.

Don't be.

I'm the one that left her in your care,

and barely called her because I was busy.

But how...

She must've been under a lot of stress because of the competition.

It's an eating disorder.

She needs to rest for the time being.

She always said she was fine when we talked.

I didn't know things were this bad.

What's going to happen now?

Well, her family's opinion is important,

but we're going to respect her wishes.

If she wants to keep on training, she will,

and if she wants to quit, we'll respect that, too.
