Episode 8

That'll be $3.

Thank you.

Welcome.

That's my favorite.

Let's go over there.

This, too.

Hold on.

I need to see your ID.

Oh, I left my wallet at home.

We're 20.

We were having a few drinks at home and just came out.

I have this though.

That won't do.

Can't you see the sign?

Alcohol and cigarettes cannot be sold to minors under 19

Oh, come on. We really left it at home.

- Can you just let it go? - Nope.

That's a no-no.

Come on, we're really 20.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Why won't you sell it?

We're paying for it.

- I'm scared. - Hey!

You're too young to be drinking.

Go back home and study.

What did she say?

What a joke! Losers.

- What? - Just go.

Before I call the police.

Police?

Are you crazy?

Let's go, come on.

Let's get out of here.

Look at this.

It's a total mess.

Those punks.

Why's this so hard?

It's hard with two people.

How'd she do this on her own every day?

No wonder she got sick.

We should clean this up.

We can't let her get fired because of us.

Yeah.

- Hurry. - Yeah.

What? What is it?

Growl

With glaring eyes

and cutting tension

With glaring eyes...

With glaring eyes...

She's been practicing on her own all this time?

I feel so bad.

Don't sit down. We have to do it another 10 times.

We're going to film the short clips tomorrow

so we won't have time to practice again.

We're going to practice all night if we have to until you get it right.

Again.

I can't do this anymore.

Practice is good, but we need a break.

We've been singing and dancing all day.

We're not robots.

There was no time to eat. I'm hungry.

Me, too.

Taeri, are you okay?

You've been looking pale all day.

I'm fine.

Has anyone seen the other team today?

No, I haven't seen them since morning.

They weren't at the studio either.

Maybe they're cutting practice because Jiseul isn't here.

Then can't we just go easy on the practice?

I hate this.

When do we get to eat?

I got you medicine for digestion. Don't forget to take it. From Suji.

What are you doing here?

I was drinking some water.

Sorry.

Yeeun.

Do you mind if I ask you about that person earlier?

I'm sorry.

It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.

But if you need someone to talk to,

I'm here for you.

Thanks.

Aren't you coming back to the laundry room?

I know you've been doing it on your own.

I've been bored all alone.

I'm sorry about the other time.

I've been wanting to apologize...

It's okay, you weren't entirely wrong anyway.

So what do you say?

Huh?

I'm talking to the washing machine these days.

Will you just come?

Okay.

Hold on.

We're going home today. Thanks for everything.

Jiseul's sister.

Who's it from?

Can you go in without me?

Sure. What about you?

I need to stop by some place.

I'll be back soon.

Tada!

I switched to the bed used at Napoli Hotel.

It's so comfortable. We can share.

Why would I share a bed with you?

What a waste of money.

We need to blow off some steam.

I never knew yogurt could be so good.

I know, right?

But it's too small.

I could eat 100.

Yeah, it's a bit small for all the work we did.

But that's the reality these days.

I think I was really bad to Jiseul.

I said some things without thinking.

You didn't know.

I even decorated this room without asking her.

Even though we're supposed to share it.

Mint, you've grown up!

So what are you going to do now?

A dark shadow has woken up inside me

Sparks fly in my eyes as I look at you

Everyone step away from her

It's going to get fierce from now on

I'm growling, growling...

Oh, you're back.

How are you feeling?

What are you doing here?

Oh... You caught me.

I was going to clean up and leave before you came.

Why?

Why are you cleaning my house?

I wanted you to come back to a clean house.

I know you must be tired.

I thought you could rest at home.

That way, you'll get better soon.

Yeah. I'm the one that called her.

Wait outside.

Do you feel sorry for me?

I know you took over my shift for me.

I'm grateful that I didn't get fired,

and that you paid the hospital bill.

But this is crossing the line.

Did you feel sorry for me seeing the mess?

Am I your charity case now?

You got it all wrong.

We're a team and friends.

Friends?

Since when were we ever friends?

What?

I didn't come here to be friends.

I came to earn money.

Most of the part-timers aren't that good,

but you weren't bad.

Thank you.

Will you be willing to come back if there's work?

- Sure, call me anytime. - Good work today.

825 Entertainment CEO Minchul Shim

825 Entertainment?

Yes, I'll be right there.

I get paid more at night, right?

825 Entertainment CEO Minchul Shim

Don't you think that's an opportunity?

Excuse me?

I'd like to offer you a chance.

I'm trying to recruit you, just in case you didn't notice.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to get my hopes up for a chance that might never come.

I'm too busy working anyway.

I don't need this.

Then how about I pay you for your practice time?

What?

It's not a bad offer, for either of us.

You can think it's unfair.

But I don't have time to dream like you

or complain about my life.

My life is a battle every single day.

Work was an excuse.

I did some thinking.

How could someone like me make it big in today's world?

An idol singer?

I thought that could be my ticket out of this mess.

After all, a lot of people changed their whole lives around.

Then I could finally leave this crappy neighborhood.

And my family could have a good life.

Jiseul.

What?

Do I make you sick?

You think I'm a joke?

No.

I know the way you feel.

I wasn't that different.

It wasn't my dream to begin with either, remember?

And you guys got mad at me for it.

You thought I wasn't taking your dreams seriously.

Yeah.

I had no right. I was just like you.
