Shooting Stars (Sh**ting Stars / Byeolttongbyeol / 별똥별)

We'll begin Eun Si Woo's press conference.

Will you speak of your affair with Gong Tae Sung?

Are you not lovers? - What are you, then?

We won't take any questions.

I'd like you to listen carefully to what I have to say.

It will answer all your questions.

Since the day I was born, I had no family.

I grew up in an orphanage.

I grew up and dreamed of becoming an actress.

I planned to become an independent adult...

and then debut.

Then I met a man who visited the orphanage to help out.

I'd never met or known someone so kind and gentle.

We got married,

and I got pregnant.

What? She had a child?

I don't know.

That's right.

That child...

is my son Gong Tae Sung.

What? - Is she serious?

Is that why... - That's why they hugged.

After he was born,

less than a year later,

in an accident,

my husband died.

My in-laws who loved me more than anything...

set me free to have a new life.

I abandoned my son...

and became an actress.

I was...

never there for him for one moment,

even when he greatly needed a mother.

My greed and ambition...

made me desperate to hide he even existed.

I was cruel...

and hurt him.

And now I'm back, putting him through this...

just so I can apologize.

Tae Sung did nothing wrong,

and he's being criticized because of me.

It's preposterous.

I ask of you all to please...

correct what is wrong.

Do you have plans to act again?

No, not at all.

We won't take any more questions.

This concludes the press conference.

Let's not try to run away.

Not letting you be ridiculed for what you didn't do.

That's my job.

I really want to protect you.

Protect me?

Or the Gong Tae Sung that other people see?

I never asked you to protect me.

Couldn't you have just cared for me?

Instead of standing before me, stand next to me.

Couldn't you at least have held my hand?

That's what I needed more.

Hey.

Yoon Woo's the one who's upset his family history is out.

Why are you getting drunk?

Do you think I'm not upset?

Do you think I wanted to write that about my friend?

I'm fine.

It was bound to come out anyway.

Han Byeol got it sorted out fast.

Sorry.

There was nothing else I could do.

She's crying. Why is she crying?

Why are you crying? You shouldn't feel bad.

Yes, Han Byeol. Why are you crying when you did all the hard work?

I was sick of keeping the secret. I'm glad it's out.

Now I'm officially free from my so-called dad.

Still...

Neither of you is in the wrong.

Let's drink. - Yes, let's.

Pour me one.

Why are you adding candy?

Soju is bitter.

This makes it sweeter. - I want one too.

You too?

They changed their tune completely.

Well done, Han Byeol.

Goodness...

Ms. Cho.

You've been acting more like...

a champion of justice than a reporter.

Do you not care about...

writing an exclusive which is your main duty?

She still has her job.

The wedding invitation.

What's this?

Is he getting married?

He had a fiancee?

Am I close enough to go to the wedding?

How much should I give?

Do Ji Hyuk, Baek Ji Soo, the dreadful love birds.

Will this be exclusive enough?

My goodness. He got me.

Of course, it is.

"Exclusive."

"Baek Ji Soo's Wedding Invitation."

I'm glad.

Right. I'm glad too.

What?

Why? Why am I glad?

What?

Did I just feel relieved?

Oh, my.

Welcome back, Tae Sung.

Seriously. People these days...

are so mean.

They criticized an innocent guy.

I knew the articles weren't true.

Right.

Thank you. - Here.

Let's get ready to shoot now. - Okay.

Let's get ready, everyone.

Should I go out too?

No. At times like this, I should act natural.

I can't let Tae Sung feel awkward.

His birth secret was disclosed to the entire country.

I'll pretend as if nothing happened.

Come on in.

Tae Sung.

Hey.

Sorry to interrupt you.

I just wanted to say something.

Go ahead.

I heard...

you've been filming all the scenes for the past few days.

You must be tired.

No. Not at all.

I'm nothing without my energy.

You must have felt insecure too. Thank you for trusting me.

Who would trust you if not me?

What?

Oh, I meant...

we're from the same agency.

We're on the same cast.

We're the male and female leads for the same drama.

Gosh. We have a lot in common. Right?

Yes. We do.

I guess that's enough to make us brothers and sisters.

Brothers and sisters?

Oh, I meant...

I've never had my love interest...

ask me to be her brother.

Okay. I'll look forward to working with you.

Okay, Tae Sung.

I'll let you get ready now.

See you later,

Da Hye.

Gosh.

Did he just call me by my name? So sweetly like that?

He didn't even say my last name!

Mom!

I'm the luckiest fan ever!

I'm a woman too

When I'm by your side

My heart gets soft and weak

This is the best we can do for now.

I really want to protect you.

Should I tap it for you?

You startled me.

How long have you been watching me?

Are you talking about...

how you hesitated calling her about 100 times?

Should I call Ms. Oh and see how she is?

No.

I'll call her.

Okay.

Your scene is ready.

Hey. - Yes?

Just hold it. Don't call her. Okay?

What? - Did you get that? Answer me. Okay?

Yes. Okay.

Tae Sung!

So this boy's name is Luca.

Ms. Oh.

What are you reading?

Oh, this.

This would have been great if this got posted sooner, right?

People love this post.

No. If it did, people would have said he was lying.

Right.

People like this post because we cleared up the misunderstanding.
