Episode 4
I moved to Seoul during middle school
when I was chosen as a student athlete.
Suji! Suji!
It's lunchtime!
I still have three laps to go.
You go without me.
After my sister Suah began training,
I spent more time on my own,
so I was used to eating alone and didn't feel particularly lonely.
But at some point, I started to hate eating alone.
I couldn't smell or taste the food.
I couldn't feel anything.
Excuse me.
Is that her younger sister?
She has a nice smile.
So pretty.
Isn't this...?
I'm sorry about last time. Have a lollipop and don't be mad.
She kept it.
What are you doing?
Sorry, I didn't mean to...
Forget it. Don't touch my stuff from now on.
Okay.
Just seeing your face annoys me.
I wanted to tell her I was glad to see her.
Oh, my god.
I thought she'd be messy but look at all this.
She doesn't look like the neat type.
Oh, hi.
We're in the same room.
Yeah, I saw your stuff. Hope we get along.
Yeah, just don't dry your hair in the room.
And don't bring any wet laundry.
What?
I can't stand messy rooms.
Just seeing your face annoys me.
What was that all about?
Did I make the right choice coming here?
Yeseul, this is Shinhyuk.
Guys, we're late. Get up!
What's going on?
Mr. Kang wants us at the studio by nine.
What? Wasn't practice at one?
Yeah. Maybe he's going to tell us about the first mission.
Upstairs! Someone wake up Mint.
Hey! The toilet on the 2nd floor is clogged!
Who flushed their hair?
Hurry up!
Who's taking a shower for so long!
Girls! Hurry up and move it.
I really think I'm going to go in my pants.
- Sori... - Yeah?
- Where's... - Who?
Youngjoo? She gets up early every day to practice on her own.
- Really? - Yeah.
Hey!
Who is it? If you did the laundry, hang it up to dry!
Who left their laundry in the washing machine?
It wasn't me.
I'm busy as it is.
Girls, we have to go! It's time!
We're having fitness training and a dance class?
I'm so tired.
I thought he'd be telling us about the mission.
Why do we need fitness training?
Yeah, I know.
My fitness level is great, why do I need training?
I'm tired already.
I've never seen him in sweats before.
He's handsome even in that.
My heart just skipped a beat.
Aren't you going to say good morning?
Good morning!
Just suck it in.
- Keep your backs straight. - Okay.
Without basics and physical fitness, all the talent in the world will be useless.
We know that.
Do you know what your problem is?
Stop.
You don't know what to do, but rush ahead anyway.
You know that you have to do something but go about it in the wrong way.
Of course, it's better than those who aren't doing anything at all.
From today on, you'll be receiving 3 hours of fitness training
and dance lessons at 9 every morning.
So come 30 minutes before class begins and clean the studio.
When do we eat?
Yeah, can we eat first?
It'll be better if you don't.
Why?
Because the training is going to make you want to vomit.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, 4...
God, this place is a mess.
Clean up, will you?
Why us? We all share the living room.
Yeah, it's bad enough that the four of us have to share a room.
Yeah.
Shouldn't the youngest girls clean up?
That's no fair.
- Then she has to, too. - Yeah.
- Me? - You.
Why? I'm on the 2nd floor.
Come on, let's just eat first. I'm starving.
- Food! - Food!
Looks so good.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you.
Let's eat.
Who washed my clothes?
Who was it? My clothes are all stained!
I'm sorry, I thought you meant to wash it.
Who asked you to do my laundry?
Geez, this is so annoying.
Come and eat. I'll help you later.
No, thanks. She couldn't keep up in practice.
And she's annoying at home. I'm not hungry.
- Eat. - Let's eat.
- Looks good. - It's okay.
- It's good, right? - Try it.
- Good, right? - Yeah.
It's okay. I'm just going to have some salad.
It's salty. Don't eat that.
Eat some more. We worked out.
- This is really good. - What is it?
- Try this. - Aren't you going to eat?
- You want some? - No, thanks.
I don't want it. I don't like it.
Why? I made a lot.
Give some to Mint.
Here.
I'm sorry.
I'll try again.
Why is she really here?
Doesn't she feel bad towards Suah?
Guys, he's announcing the first mission Hurry up.
Each team will choose three songs.
Your first mission is to mash the songs into one
and create a one-of-a-kind performance.
Not one, but three?
No way.
Sounds fun.
You have two weeks.
I will be evaluating your first performance here.
What do you want to do?
I want to do something like f(x)'s "Red Light."
It has powerful dance moves.
I want to do "Like a Cat."
It's cute, like a cat.
No way. I hate it.
- It works for you. - Right?
What about "Bang"? The dance routine is cool.
We already did that once. Right?
Taeri knows the choreography.
- Yeah. - Let's go with this.
It'll be easier for us.
- Let's do this then. - Yeah, since Taeri knows it.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Let's do "Something," "Super Girl Magic," and "Mr." in that order.
Huh?
The outcome of this mission depends on the flow of the song.
Just trust me. I have a plan.
Yeah, we can do this.
Let's trust our leader.
- Okay, then. - Okay.
What's that? Does it smell?
Smell it.
That's horrible. Stop it. Stop it.
Sorry. Are you okay?
We have to do three songs so we need to come up with an arrangement.
What songs do you like?
"Like a Cat" and "Something."
- "Tell Me." - That's too old.
- "Bo Peep Bo Peep." - That's cute.
- "Mr." - That would be cool.
Or what about "Hot Issue?"
How about we choose songs with similar concepts?
Three sexy songs or three cute songs.
Sounds good. What do you think?
Concept?
Have you ever been on stage before?
- No. - Do you know the choreography?
Then just practice dancing. We'll come up with the concept.
Okay.
I'm terrible at rock, paper, scissors.
Good luck.
It's one round only. Whoever wins,
gets to choose first.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
I'm going with rock.
What?
Rock? Then I have to go with paper?
Rock, paper, scissors. Rock!
"Super Girl Magic"
Now what?
We have to choose from what's left.
T-ARA "Bo Peep Bo Peep"
Sistar "Alone"
"Bo Peep Bo Peep" is cute...
"Alone" is sexy...
And "Attention" is hip hop...
Taeri, don't move your head.
5, 6..
Your legs and arms are all over the place.
It's easy. You can't do this?
It's her first time. She just needs a little practice.
Yeeun, you can't dance either.
Just learn the routine first.
Then we'll come up with a concept.
Okay.
Are you worried?
It's going to be a hard mission for the Rookie Team since they just met.
It doesn't seem fair.
You're right.
A castle can't be built with individual grains of sand.
You may be able to build it by chance,
but a single wave will bring it all down.
So they must learn that it's the team, not the individual that is important?
They need to realize that they can do nothing as individual grains of sand.
They'll learn soon enough.
The others spent years training together.
They won't be able to beat them based on individual talent alone.
You're still here?
I'll go get some water.
Why don't you just leave already?
What?
I don't know what Mr. Kang was thinking when he brought you here.
But don't you think you're giving Suah a bad name?
You say you're her twin,
and here you are, ruining her hard-earned image.
You should just live quietly like you used to.
What are you doing here, really?
Because of Suah.
What?
I want to achieve the dream, she never got to fulfill.
What do you mean because of Suah?
Nothing.
I'm tired. I'm going home.
See you.
Are you joking? What are you doing?
- Huh? - Do it properly.
It seems this was all planned for her.
We're just here to make her shine.
You have no basics and you can't even memorize the routine.
I thought you'd be good because you were Suah's sister.
Now I see you just used her name to get in.
Then why are you here?
You said so yourself, you never wanted to be an idol singer.
You say you're her twin,
and here you are, ruining her hard-earned image.
I know that I seem rash and thoughtless,
but I can't just give up without trying.
That's why I've been trying so hard.
But...
Just think of it as a broken shoelace.
Don't waste your emotions over something like this.
You should go.
Because of Suah.
Because of Suah?
What's that supposed to mean?
"Something," "Super Girl Magic," " Mr."
Wow. These are feathers.
- Oh, wow. - Great costumes.
It's amazing. Youngjoo is a genius.
How did she come up with this?
I know. This is really, really great.
- Wow. - Wow.
Did you eat?
What are you guys so excited about?
Our clothes for the mission...
- Your costumes? - No, it's nothing.
Right. You're the enemy. It's a secret.
Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?
- They're going to copy us. - Sorry.
Just keep your mouth shut. Don't tell them anything.
You have to be really careful.
- Sorry. - Geez.
Um... Do you want me leave for a bit?
No, it'll seem like we're kicking you out.
I don't think you are.
Just stay. We'll be quiet.
Okay.
The stage costumes are super awesome!
They're so sexy!
I can't wait to wear it!
Me, neither!
Don't waste your emotions over something like this.
What am I thinking?
What are you doing over there?
Hey, Suji.
I had to do the laundry, too.
If you're tired, you should do it tomorrow.
Or I can do yours for you.
It's much more tiring in my room.
I prefer being here.
Yeah. Your room is kind of scary.
So is yours.
- Do you want to do the laundry together? - Sure.
- Here's the detergent. - Thanks.
I saw you jogging every morning. Isn't it hard?
Actually, I used to run marathons.
Really? That's amazing.
I'm so out of shape, I can barely run 30 minutes.
Is that why I'm a terrible dancer?
I can't dance either.
I'm practically a robot.
Still, the girls said you sing really well.
So what? The first mission isn't about singing.
I'm practicing on my own,
but I don't know what the problem is.
I'm kind of in panic mode.
Do you want to start practicing together tomorrow?
Really? That would be great.
They're so good.
Not a single move out of place. Wow.
I wonder how long it'll take us...
What did you say?
What? You're Miss Cha, aren't you?
Jiseul Cha is too hard to say.
How about, Chachacha?
Forget your sadness and chachacha!
It was a joke. Is she mad?
Looks like practice is over. Let's just do it ourselves.
Okay.
Let's start with "Alone."
Do you think our team will be okay?
I don't know.
Let's go.
5. 6.
Yes, I....
No, that's not it!
You keep getting it wrong in the same place!
- Sorry. - Yukika, you too.
You're in the Debut Team,
but you still dance like a trainee!
You could tell?
Sorry.
I'll teach Taeri so don't worry.
- Yukika, focus. - I will.
Youngjoo, take a break.
Come on, let's try it one more time.
2, 3.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
This is driving me crazy. Why do I keep getting it wrong?
I'm hopeless at dancing.
It'll be fine. We mastered one song already.
Chin up.
I didn't know before, but you're really tough.
Huh?
The other girls have been really mean to you
and I thought you'd quit early on.
But you haven't. You work harder without giving up.
I told you. I'm a marathoner.
We're known for our tenacity.
No wonder.
I'm sure you'll start getting better soon, too.
You share the DNA of one of Korea's best top idols.
- You think so? - Definitely.
- Should we try again? - Yeah.
- I'll see you later. - Bye.
Huh?
She left this behind.
Yeeun.
Huh? Why are you here?
Yeeun left her laundry outside, so...
I'm sorry about the other time. I didn't mean to...
It's okay. Thanks. I'm sorry, too.
What?
Oh, okay.
- Leave it there. - Yeah, over there.
Okay.
Wait, what's that?
What's this doing here?
It was on Jane's bed, so I washed it together...
Jane!
Cha? It's the first time seeing you in the house.
She's pretty but bad tempered.
I hope she'll be okay in that room.
Welcome! Hi, Miss Cha!
What happened to this room?
Pretty, right? Lovely, don't you think?
Are you blind? You think this is pretty?
What? I called my mom and got you a matching set.
Where's my bed?
Tada!
They have the same one at the suite at W Hotel.
It's really comfortable. We can share it.
I'm not sharing a bed with you.
You have a lot of cash to blow off, huh?
What? Did you just say something mean?
If you have time to decorate your room,
you should learn Korean first.
What did you say to me?
So I borrowed your socks.
What's the big deal? It's just a pair of socks!
- Hey! - Stop it.
You stepped all over Park's face!
What? Park? They're just socks!
You're such a loser.
Hey!
What's that?
Hey! Hey!
Where are you going?
Go and stop them.
What for? It's fun watching.
Stop it, both of you!
Let go. Now.
- You let go. - No, you let go.
Why you...
Ow, that hurt.
Why are you so selfish?
We're all here for the first time.
I know it's uncomfortable living together,
but you need to be more considerate of each other.
Stop getting so angry all the time and excluding other people.
It's hard for all of us.
We're in a competition, but we should at least have some respect.
That's what a team is, right?
If you don't like that, then you don't deserve to be here.
Guys!
Mr. Shim gave us his...
His...
What's going on here?
His what?
He gave us his credit card.
What? He did?
Wow.
- Looks good. - Wow.
- It's good. - So fresh.
But who assigned our rooms?
Probably Mr. Shim or Mr. Kang. Why?
I wish we could've shared rooms with friends.
I think it's better this way.
We can get to know the other team.
I'm sure he had a good reason.
You think?
Try this. It's good.
Next up is the bright girl. Be fair.
Go.
Okay.
Let's see.
Room 4. She goes in Room 4.
Now for...
They just had a huge fight.
If I tell them a cat assigned their rooms they'll be livid.
Whatever. I don't know a thing.
What did you say?
Nothing.
Guys, dinner!
- Fried chicken! - Thanks.
Looks good.
You have something on your lip.
Here's rice.
- Thank you. - Looks great.
It's this.
- It's good. - It really is.
Mom, she's leaving out her beans again.
Don't tell her that!
Yeah.
- What? - Nothing.
Okay.
Now, now.
My father always said that sharing a meal brings people closer together.
Since we're all here, let's try not to fight,
and get along, whatever the results.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Let's eat.
Yeeun, can you pass the meat?
You eat so much. Don't you gain weight?
Nope, I don't.
If I'm really hungry, I can even eat my fist.
I'm so jealous. I gain weight even if I just breathe.
Wait. Where's Jiseul?
I don't know. She just left again.
It's okay. Just eat.
No, thanks. I'm on a diet.
I should stop eating, too.
Sorry.
Stop grilling and eat.
Huh?
You hardly ate anything since you got here.
Aren't you going to eat?
I will.
At that moment, all the senses that I had lost came rushing back.
I started smelling food again.
I could feel the warmth.
I hate eating alone.
Tonight, dinner tastes really good.
Guys, we only have 30 minutes left. Hurry.
Training is hard as it is. Why do we have to clean every day?
Yeah, we cleaned up yesterday. It's not that dirty.
What about we play rock, paper, scissors and the losing team cleans?
I hate rock, paper, scissors.
Then how about a dance off?
Not with our mission songs.
But to a random song.
Okay. Who's going to dance?
- Me, me. - No.
The worst dancer on the team.
Yukika, you're up.
Why me?
Then we'll go with...
Suji?
Me?
Good luck!
It's okay. We've been practicing.
But still...
It'll be fine. You'll be better than her.
- Good luck. - Go on.
- What's going on? - A dance battle to decide who cleans.
But why them?
We chose the worst dancers.
Huh? Why is this song playing?
Wait. Look.
My world came crumbling down the moment she started dancing.
She had something I didn't.
Fear and anxiety began to rise up.
