Episode 2

Suji Lee

Suah Lee

A friend you havesince the day you were born...

That was what Suah and I wereto each other.

We were always together.

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

Back then, I thought that stayingone 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 shadowshould 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 knowafter 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 gossipthan 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 itmake 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 CompletionPyeongtaek 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 disappointedif 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 tostay 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 meand 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 firecrackersfor 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 hereto 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 knowif 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 justclosed 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 pathright in the middle of the sea.

I couldn't see the lighthouse during the day,

but does that meanthe lighthouse wasn't there?

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 happenedwith Suah a year ago.

Not what people are gossiping aboutbut 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 facefixed 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.
