SYNOPSIS HEARTSTRINGS EPISODE 9
So Shin confessed – eeeee! But Kyu-won takes it the wrong way; when he can’t answer her about whether he likes her or not, Kyu-won thinks he’s just stringing her along. Just because he’s popular doesn’t mean he can tell a girl to not like him, and then tell her to like him. He tries to tell her she’s misunderstood, but Kyu-won will have none of it. Bo-woon calls just in time, and Kyu-won asks to be taken back to the hospital.
Shin rides back home, confused. Good thing his sister comes barging into his room asking for some more autographs so that she can sell it to her classmates. He asks how she would react if a guy told her to continue liking him. Jung-hyun: “My butt! Who says I like you?” Heh. She tsk-tsks her brother for having bad moves.
Meanwhile, Kyu-won talks to herself in her room, convincing herself not to be shaken by Shin. She is interrupted by a visitor: Seok-hyun. He’s here to present her the lines and lyrics for the starring role, because he wants her to be Hee-joo’s understudy. (Ah – so that’s how he’s keeping her in…) Kyu-won is all, “I don’t want it!” and sounds like a petulant child. Seok-hyun sounds like the patient father, asking if she really means that. Heh – of course not. He also informs her of a team retreat so that everyone can bond. He suggests that she just stay at home and rest, but of course that makes Kyu-won want to go even more, even with her injuries.
The next day, the school Chancellor tells Seok-hyun to play nice. Now that he’s appeased Tae-joon by having Hee-joo as the lead, perhaps they won’t split off and create a new performance team. Seok-hyun grudgingly accepts, and then asks for permission for the trip. Since Tae-joon turned down the offer to chaperone (because he doesn’t want to breathe the same air as Seok-hyun) and Professor Hong is too busy, the Chancellor suggests Yoon-su, which Seok-hyun is only too happy to agree with.
Meanwhile, Tae-joon is stressed thanks to Hee-joo’s mom. His cohort, Kim Young-min, plays devil’s advocate: what could the mother be complaining about if her daughter’s already the lead? And the reason why Kyu-won gets more attention is because she was better! That doesn’t help Tae-joon, and he’s more determined than ever to bring Seok-hyun down. He wants the dirty secrets, and he wants Young-min to get them.
Seok-hyun supervises the practice, and provides some constructive critiques. He tells them to make sure they tap into their deep emotions while singing, rather than trying to appeal to the audience. And then, he gives a demonstration.
*CLAP CLAP!* (The following song is a rip from the episode.) [download]
It’s a moving song that makes Bo-woon gush: if Kyu-won were here, she’d have fallen in love with Seok-hyun. Shin overhears, and he can’t help but think of Kyu-won while Seok-hyun sings.
Seok-hyun wants to make sure that everyone has understood about the emotion part – especially Hee-joo. The Three Angry Girls know that Hee-joo is being targeted for her soulless singing, and make fun of her after practice.
Hee-joo mopes at the playground, angry at their comments but also worrying about it. She gets a call from Seok-hyun, and lies that she’s in a cafe instead of out in the sun. But Seok-hyun catches her there anyways. He wonders why she’s sulking if she got the part, since she’s so good anyways. But he tells her that she’s quite emotionless in her performance because she hasn’t experienced love – the feelings of falling in love, of yearning for a person, of pain, of break-up. She is all technique, but no depth. Hee-joo snipes back – has Kyu-won loved? Is that why she’s so great?
Seok-hyun just says that Kyu-won will be her understudy, whether she likes it or not. He challenges her to break his prejudice towards doll-like actresses – prove to him that she’s better than he thinks she is.
So Hee-joo does a surprising move. She seeks out Ki-young and asks him if he thinks she’s an emotionless doll. He’s amused by her query, not knowing she cared so much, but he’s even more surprised when she asks for his help! She wants him to teach her how to love. (HA! Is this the triangle we’re going for?) Though Ki-young hasn’t really experienced love much, he’s acknowledged as a talented actor, so she wants Ki-young’s help. In secret, of course. Her pride can’t handle more than that. Ki-young simply marvels at the change in her.
Meanwhile Shin goes to visit Kyu-won in the hospital. She’s not pleased to see him, but he reminds her that he still needs tutoring. As Kyu-won goes over the notes in an angry tone, she eventually gets on his nerves – why is she so mad at him? Kyu-won: “Do you still have to ask? Are you slow?” Annoyed, Shin stands up – he’ll go and find someone else to tutor him instead.
He rides back to school, looking hurt. (Yes – I read that emotion on his face!) He announces to his bandmates that they’re no longer practicing with the Wind Flowers, which bums them out, ’cause, yunno, they liked those girls. Too bad though – they’re forced to follow Shin’s whims. I love that everyone always assumes that if he or Kyu-won change their plans suddenly, it’s always because they fought, and not because of any excuse/reason they may give.
Kyu-won’s father and Grandpa bring her home from the hospital, and they bump into Shin outside. Shin greets them politely, and Kyu-won quickly whispers to her father that he’s the “Arrogant Prince” she always talks about. The father says hi, not having met his ex-girlfriend’s son ever, but then has to rush off to teach. Grandpa wants to have a word with Shin, since he heard about the boy mixing traditional and western music for the performance. Kyu-won tries to get Shin to leave, but he thinks Grandpa will be a better tutor than her.
And what is Grandpa’s idea of tutoring? He goes into his whole spiel about his own history of how he became a famous singer – exactly what he told Seok-hyun! Heehee! Kyu-won and I enjoy watching Shin grimace in pain, having sat on his crossed legs for too long listening to a boooooring history of this Grandpa’s life.
Kyu-won gets a call from Bo-woon, and confirms that she’ll go to the team camping trip. Now they can arrange something to do for the talent show together! Just before Grandpa is about to tell his story (from 14 to his twenties), Kyu-won decides to interrupt. You have no idea how relieved Shin looks to see her. She reminds Grandpa that Shin needs to study, so he can tell his story another day. Now who’s the better tutor, huh Lee Shin?
As for Grandpa, he muses over who is the better candidate for his granddaughter, since both men have endured his test of listening and endurance: Shin is good, but he’s in a band. Seok-hyun isn’t in a band, but he’s too old… HEE!!
The next day, Kyu-won basically leaves the house all packed up and ready to go for the camping trip. Though Grandpa tries to stop her, she pouts and begs, and promises not to do anything to hurt herself. Grandpa finally lets her go, but then he quickly makes a phone call to Seok-hyun. He drops hints about how folk songs are best heard at beaches and/or the woods, but Seok-hyun doesn’t get it. Grandpa hangs up, furious; how could Seok-hyun not realize that he wanted to go on this trip too?! Seok-hyun is out of the running!
When Kyu-won leaves her house, she bumps into Shin. They’re the first ones at the meeting spot for the bus, but don’t talk to each other at all. As for Jun-hee, he’s waiting to catch Hee-joo to make sure that she joins in on the trip as well. They all laugh as Sa-rang (the main leader of the Three Angry Girls) struggles with her two heavy luggages, wondering what on earth she could be bringing.
Soo-myung is going on this trip too, and he marvels at how punctual the students are when it comes to having fun. They all board the bus, and Sa-rang eyes a seat next to Soo-myung. He places his bag on the empty seat and says it’s already reserved. Heh.
Shin tries to find people to sit with too, but no one wants to share a row with him. He finds a seat next to Kyu-won, and before she can protest, he sits down: “There’s no room. I have no choice.” And then he closes his eyes and “falls asleep.”
Yoon-su boards the bus as well, and is met with great whoops from all the boys (minus Shin). Soo-myung lets her sit next to him, which makes Sa-rang pout with envy.
Young-min has gotten the dirt on Seok-hyun. Back in Broadway, Seok-hyun had gotten into a scandal with a lead actress. He kicked out the original lead actress for a play and replaced her with a nobody. However, that ‘nobody’ was actually really talented, and it ended up being good for the performance. But then people spread nasty rumors, so the ‘nobody’ and Seok-hyun ended up quitting. Young-min thinks that the rumors got to Seok-hyun in the end, but Tae-joon disagrees. However, this is useful enough for them to go to the media with.
The team arrives at camp, and girls and boys are split into two houses. While Sa-Rang asks for Soo-myung’s help in carrying her luggages, he flatly rejects her and offers to help carry Yoon-su’s small bag. (Heehee. This is such a random love triangle the drama is throwing at us…) But it turns out Sa-rang was carrying a lot of supplies – toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, you name it. And since Hee-joo hadn’t packed anything, she purchases the necessities from them, even if they’re ripping her off.
Seok-hyun arrives with all the food, pans, and supplies, but he forgot to bring fruit because Yoon-su didn’t write it down on the list. (Men…) He gathers the entire cast into a small performance room and has them yell out their dreams.
Hee-joo: “I’m going to be the best actress in Korea!”Shin takes a stroll outside the compound and sees Yoon-su. He’s about to pass her silently when she stops him to say that she’s looking forward to hearing his ending song. She’s reaching out to him this time (as a teacher) instead of the other way around, which is good for both sides. She notes that he’s happier now, and he apologizes for having been annoying to her before. (Besides, he’s got a new “someone” to annoy.)
Ki-young: “I’ll be on Broadway one day!”
Kyu-won: “I’ll do my best at the 100th Anniversary performance!”
Sa-rang: “I’m going to be Soo-myung’s girlfriend!”
Soo-myung: “NO WAY!”
Kyu-won escapes in a large room to rest and sit down. And who shall come to antagonize her but Shin. He’s checking up on her, but since she insists she’s fine, he wants her to scooch over so that he can sit at her spot. Grudgingly, she moves over for the big baby. On the other end of the spectrum, Jun-hee comes bounding in with Hee-joo and he lays down a mat for her to sit on. Now that’s someone you should learn from, Lee Shin.
However, Soo-myung interrupts the four of them. He needs two people to cook, and another two to get the watermelon. Jun-hee the Food Lover volunteers himself and Hee-joo on kitchen staff, and Shin gets the keys from Soo-myung to go to the market. Though Kyu-won is tired, she has no choice but to go under the watchful eyes of Soo-myung.
Shin and Kyu-won bump into Yoon-su and Seok-hyun. They bid them a safe trip, and Yoon-su notes that Shin must like Kyu-won. Seok-hyun can’t believe that, and a cloud covers his expression. HMMMMM – more tension?
In the kitchen, Hee-joo can’t cook for her life, and she accidentally cuts her finger. Jun-hee immediately sucks her finger to stop the bleeding, much to her chagrin. He dashes to get a Doraemon band-aid from his bag, and applies it, singing “Heal quickly~!” to her finger. Hee-joo is touched, and she finds out that Jun-hee usually sings that song to his sickly mother nowadays. Since Hee-joo can’t slice, Jun-hee has her wash the rice.
In the marketplace, Kyu-won goes from seller to seller, wanting to get the best deal for the watermelons. Shin gets impatient, and he starts walking ahead of her. That’s when Kyu-won starts to feel the pain on her waist. She tries to call Shin to wait, but since he ignores her, she just goes into a nearby pharmacy and purchases a pain relieving patch.
Shin turns around and realizes she’s no longer behind him. Immediately, he grows worried, and starts retracing their steps. He completely misses her in the pharmacy, and so when she steps out, she no longer sees him ahead of her anymore. Kyu-won also didn’t bring her phone. Great. Meanwhile, Shin desperately searches for her through the streets, worried that she might be hurt somewhere.
Back at the camp, Jun-hee painfully bites into a small rock in his rice. The other students all find their rice dirty, and still having some rocks in them. Hee-joo glares at them – she totally did a good job of washing that rice! – that is, until she bites into it herself and finds a rock. Everyone complains about the stew Jun-hee made; no one ever puts cucumbers in the recipe, and not everyone likes what Jun-hee likes in his stew. Jun-hee and Hee-joo glare at all their critics, and pretend everything tastes good to them. Hehe.
It’s already late at night when Shin finally finds Kyu-won at a stall, purchasing a watermelon for $15. She’s happy at having finally gotten a deal, whereas Shin is furious. Does she not know how long he’s been searching for her?! He grabs the watermelon and they head back to the car. Kyu-won asks if he regrets looking for her, but he tells her he was worried sick. She’s already hurt, and he was afraid she might have gotten even more hurt.
He tells her to sit back on the chair so that she can rest her back.
When they finally get back, Shin moodily drops off the watermelon and leaves. Seok-hyun wonders if they fought (again), but Kyu-won sheepishly admits that Shin’s mad he lost her at the market. When they both leave, Yoon-su notes that Shin didn’t look mad, but looked worried. Again, Seok-hyun has that weird conflicted expression on his face.
After dinner, it’s talent show time! Of course, someone performs a lip-sync of “I’m a Loner” (외톨이야) as a nod to C.N. Blue. When it’s time for the Wind Flowers to go on for their dance, Shin grabs her wrist and stops her backstage. He doesn’t want her to go on; she’s too injured. Shin calls from across the stage that Kyu-won will not perform. And with that, the two of them slowly sit at the back of the audience and watch as everyone claps and dances along with the Wind Flowers.
Shin: Don’t be hurt. I’m worried.And with those words, suddenly the two of them are lost in their own thoughts. The world melts away into silence as the two of them sit next to each other, sneaking glances, painfully aware of the other and yet unable to say aloud what they’re feeling or thinking.
Seok-hyun and Yoon-su go for an evening walk, a momentary escape to “date” while on this trip. Yoon-su thanks him for wanting to start over with her. She’s happy he gave her another chance, and he notes that she’s changed a lot in the six years they were apart. But I wonder – perhaps Seok-hyun has changed too…
Back inside, Soo-myung hands Shin a guitar to play a song for everyone. With a glance at Kyu-won, he breaks into song: “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. (I’m sad he only sings the chorus) [download]
He keeps looking at Kyu-won as he sings, and clearly, the “best friend he’s fallen in love with” is her.
That evening, neither of them can fall asleep, and so both of them end up going outside to look at the night sky. He asks after her foot, and she says she’s much better. “Are you really ok, or are you just pretending?” he asks, and she insists she’s telling the truth.
Kyu-won sighs that she was hoping to make a wish on a shooting star. Shin wants to know what her wish is, but she won’t say, keeping it a secret. She asks what wish he’d make; “It’s a secret,” he replies. Heh.
He then holds out his hand to her. Kyu-won looks at it confused, so he takes her hand and holds it.
Shin: Do you want to know what my wish is? It’s for you to like me again.
SYNOPSIS HEARTSTRINGS EPISODE 8
We get a recap of what happened in the last five minutes of episode 7, and then we’re in Seok-hyun’s car. He looks like their father as he drives the two kids-who-are-not-on-speaking-terms home. Seok-hyun is thankful that Shin got Kyu-won to the audition on time, but their awkward silence unnerves him more. He finds it amusing that they’re neighbors now too.
Once Kyu-won is inside, Shin urges Seok-hyun to leave for his date; he’ll stay in front of the house and make sure no yelling occurs inside Kyu-won’s house. With a reminder to not be late for practice, Seok-hyun heads over to meet Yoon-su.
Kyu-won apologizes to her grandfather through the screen, and lets him know that she failed the audition. She wants to continue with the musical, but will also practice her gayageum even more earnestly than before. Grandpa suddenly opens his door; he wants Seok-hyun’s number – now! “Why?” she asks. “You don’t need to know!” and Grandpa slams his door closed.
By the time Seok-hyun arrives, Yoon-su is tired and wants to go home. As he drives her home, he honestly tells her that he drove Kyu-won home because he was worried she might get chewed out by her unrelenting grandfather. They then discuss Hee-joo’s performance; Seok-hyun admits that while Hee-joo was good, she has no heart. She’s just a “well-trained doll,” but no raw talent. Yoon-su on the other hand likes that Hee-joo works really hard. She actually takes offense at Seok-hyun’s analysis because those “dolls with no talent” actually train over and over again, go through eating disorders, and don’t care about their feet getting deformed.
Hee-joo knows in her heart that Kyu-won’s performance was much better, more moving, and most importantly, she had friends to support her. Because her mother had talked to the judges beforehand, Hee-joo had managed to get the part. She hates that everything is so easy for Kyu-won, so she’s about to eat a chocolate bar to make herself feel better, but decides to just weigh herself instead, taking satisfaction in her light weight.
Kyu-won reports to her father about the audition; though she failed, she felt like she did her best. And – photographers were there! She then asks her dad why the first love always hurt. It’s not because she’s experiencing the pains herself, oh no, but Father says it’s all so that she’ll remember it the most. After they hang up, Kyu-won declares herself finished with nursing a broken heart, and goes to sleep. Yeah!
Jung-hyun bugs her brother about the “ugly girl’s” audition. Shin warns her not to call Kyu-won that – it’s not nice to call people names! Hee. But I’m glad he also calls his sister out on her bratty behavior.
The next morning, Shin waits for Kyu-won outside her door, his excuse being that he wants to know if her grandfather got mad. Grandpa’s not too mad so far, and she thanks him and Jung-hyun for their help. She heads to the bus stop, but finds it weird that Shin is following her. Well – that’s because he left his bike at school.
The two of them head to school in an awkward silence, together but not really together. They head in the same direction, the same building, the same halls, in a slow careful pace. It unnerves Kyu-won so much that she finally breathes a loud sigh of relief when Shin heads in a different direction.
That’s when Hee-joo catches her for a one-on-one talk outside. Kyu-won sincerely congratulates her on snagging the role, but trust Hee-joo to think that Kyu-won is being insincere. She wants Kyu-won to drop out of the performance team. Hee-joo’s worked so hard to be in this performance, but Kyu-won’s been coasting on the favor of Seok-hyun. Kyu-won points out that Hee-joo isn’t the only person in this entire world who can sing and act, but Hee-joo wants Kyu-won gone. For her peace of mind. What a selfish, insecure brat.
Shin arrives in class, snapping his fingers and whistling. Several things are off: 1) he’s actually in class; 2) he’s whistling; 3) he’s snapping his fingers. That’s when his band mate tells him that Kyu-won’s in the papers.
The papers declare that Kyu-won’s performance moved the audience more, but Hee-joo had snagged the part instead. Tae-joon is annoyed, but he tells his allies to not fear; attention will be on Hee-joo soon, and when they snag her, Seok-hyun’s plans will fall apart. He then visits Yoon-su in her office, wanting to talk to her about creating a new performance team. Tae-joon’s interest lies primarily in getting Hee-joo, since the performance team that will last longer is the one with Hee-joo in it. Besides, if Yoon-su joins him, she can come back as a choreographer again.
The Three Angry Girls antagonize Hee-joo in the hallway by reading out the newspaper article, causing her to cry alone in the park out of anger. She’s the lead, no matter what anyone says! Suddenly Jun-hee appears by her side and puts his headphones over her ears. She turns to him, cheeks tear-stained, and insists he turn off the music and leave her alone. But Jun-hee just cradles her face and makes her listen, and that’s when she bursts into more tears.
Kyu-won does feel a bit bad for Hee-joo, and so she goes to visit Seok-hyun, interrupting him during his training session with Ki-young. She wishes to switch back to the music team only, and the acting team won’t need her since all the roles have been filled. Seok-hyun is angered at the thought – he chose her for a reason, and now she just wants to leave before she finishes? Who does she think she is to just change teams at her whim? (Well – as if Seok-hyun’s favoring her isn’t obvious enough…)
Later, Seok-hyun presents tickets for a new date with Yoon-su. She’s about to mention Tae-joon’s plan, but he has to rush off. Yoon-su makes her decision – she rejects joining Tae-joon’s performance, since all she had wanted was to prove herself to Seok-hyun. Jealousy also makes people do crazy things..
Professor Hong informs Seok-hyun that she gave Shin the assignment of fixing up the ending song. Though Seok-hyun may be angry at her choice, she defends it, saying that both of them are taking a chance with Shin and Kyu-won respectively, trusting in these students’ potentials. And speaking of which, Kyu-won and Shin report to Professor Hong about their practices. However, they can’t do a demonstration today because the Windflowers are going to a senior center to perform. Hong suggests that Shin go as well, since he might learn a thing or two about it.
At the center, the seniors have so much fun that some of them get up and start dancing. One of the guys gets Kyu-won to come up and dance with them in a circle, which makes Shin smile. Next thing you know, all the ahjummas just want a chance to dance with the handsome Shin sitting in the corner! Hahaha! Oh so awkwardly cute.
Seok-hyun and Yoon-su go on a walk together, and the conversation circles back to Hee-joo. Seok-hyun acknowledges Hee-joo’s efforts, but he still believes that her skills are not good enough to amaze an audience. He wonders if Yoon-su is just defending Hee-joo because it reminds her of her old self? Or perhaps Yoon-su is living vicariously through Hee-joo, wanting the student to succeed where she couldn’t? Hurt and insulted, Yoon-su leaves first.
The Windflowers and Shin then have food and drinks with the seniors. Kyu-won drinks up the makgeolli deliciously, but Shin refuses, because he can’t drink alcohol. One of the grandfathers insists, handing Shin a bowl, but Kyu-won calls “Black Rose” – she’ll drink it for him! (I smell trouble!)
That grandfather admires how prettily Kyu-won drinks alcohol, and so he keeps pouring her drinks. Another grandmother on that table wishes that she could be her grandson’s wife. Kyu-won finds out that the grandson is twelve, and then smartly replies, “I like them young too!”
They get caught in this position by her fellow Windflowers, who then hurry out, preferring to leave them like this. Shin actually doesn’t mind that Kyu-won is leaning on him, and smiles.
Jun-hee gives Hee-joo a ride back home, only to be caught outside by her mother. Jun-hee: “Hello, I’m Hee-joo’s boyf–*WHACK*” Hee-joo slaps him in the head before he can say something else. The mother calls Hee-joo in immediately, and Hee-joo mumbles her thanks. Jun-hee’s adorable as he points out the boo-boo she just gave him.
As for Shin, he carries Kyu-won on his back, holding her gayageum as well. Even though Kyu-won’s drunk, it doesn’t stop her from yelling at him for sticking around her when she’s trying so hard to forget him. Heh.
Grandpa’s not too happy to have a drunk granddaughter in his hands, but Shin goes home with a small smile on his face. Apparently, smiling is a rarity for him because his mom wonders whether he really is her son. But she’s happy that Shin seems to be a happier guy of late.
The next morning, Grandpa takes her to task for getting so drunk she needed to be carried on a guy’s back. Kyu-won suddenly remembers that Shin carried her home, and quickly rushes out the door. She has to leave before she bumps into Shin! Grandpa tries to get her to eat breakfast first, but Kyu-won is too busy for that.
She tiptoes out the front door, thinking the coast is clear. But Shin is right behind her. He commends her on her drinking habits, which she then denies. Um – yeah right. He informs her that he’s got 3 patches on his back, thanks to last night. (Heh – that last sentence could so easily be misconstrued…) He clutches his back in pain as he walks off, but smiles like a childish school boy.
Seok-hyun catches Yoon-su to apologize for likening her to Hee-joo, and thus comparing his girlfriend to a doll. She accepts his apology, but states for the record that she finds herself nothing like Hee-joo. She only thinks the girl is talented, and no one is noticing her efforts.
Hee-joo’s mom meets up with Tae-joon, not too pleased that all the attention is on Kyu-won right now. Tae-joon assures her that the spotlight will be on her daughter, especially once he gets her for his own team. But that’s not enough for the mother; she wants Kyu-won completely rid of. No one can threaten her daughter’s position.
Bo-woon grabs the other girls to plan what they should do for Kyu-won’s birthday, as it is today but Kyu-won has forgotten all about it. They propose lighting up firecrackers and celebrating after their rehearsal with The Stupid. However, Kyu-won isn’t completely oblivious, because she gets a text from her father wishing her happy birthday and promising of a gift later.
While studying in the library, Shin comes by and dumps the stack of books she made him read. “Summarize. There’s too many books. I read it but don’t understand it.” If she doesn’t help him, he’ll tell on her to the professor. (What are they in, first grade?!) He orders her to have it done by dinner time. It’s impossible for her, but he reminds her that carrying her on his back was the more impossible task. Grudgingly, she gets to work, and Shin watches her from behind a few shelves, grinning mischievously.
She manages to complete the task by the time of their practice. No one is there yet, so Kyu-won just starts tuning up her instrument. He asks if the gayageum is like a guitar, and she begins explaining to him all the carvings and parts of the gayageum, which he finds interesting. They’re interrupted by the arrival of the rest of the bands, and the two bands play “Carmen” again. Seok-hyun sneaks into practice, and he’s got a guest – Kyu-won’s Grandpa! Grandpa apparently did contact Seok-hyun finally, and he watches his granddaughter play on her gayageum.
After practice, Bo-woon announces that they’re going to grab a drink, and everyone except Shin and Kyu-won leave. (Awkward.) Then the lights turn off. (Even more awkward.) Then all the friends return singing “Happy Birthday,” carrying the cutest snowman cake known to man. (AWESOME!) Kyu-won is touched, and her friends release some firecrackers. They all play around, smearing cream on each other’s faces, while Shin hangs back, watching.
That’s when Kyu-won realizes he doesn’t have cream on his face! Shin: “Don’t….” And Kyu-won starts chasing him around the room.
As they’re all leaving practice, Shin greets Kyu-won happy birthday. Caught off-guard, she thanks him, and then trips down a flight of stairs. (So this is how they’re covering up her accident…) Kyu-won can’t get up from the pain, and everyone rushes to her side.
It’s already evening, and Grandpa is still talking off Seok-hyun’s ear about how legendary his skills were. Poor Seok-hyun, the guy looks ready to fall asleep in any minute. Grandpa is about to start his story all over again, this time going back to when he was fourteen, when Seok-hyun finally gets interrupted by a call from Shin.
The two of them rush over to the hospital, where Shin is sitting by her bedside. Kyu-won quickly says that she’s OK – no broken bones or anything – and Shin immediately assumes responsibility for her fall. Kyu-won assures everyone that he had nothing to do with it, and that she’s OK. Not so, says Lee Shin: “She has a fractured rib and sprained ankle.”
Kyu-won glares at him for betraying her, and the nurse comes by to let them know that they’ll be moving her soon. Seok-hyun takes Grandpa home so that he can bring a change of clothing and stay with Kyu-won at the hospital. In the meanwhile, Shin can stay by her side.
Shin helps settle her in her room, and she asks if he can amuse her with something funny. Thing is, Shin is not the funniest of guys, so all he knows are REALLY lame jokes. Disappointed, Kyu-won just asks for her medicine and water. Once he’s gone, she starts laughing at how lame they were.
Back at home, Seok-hyun helps Grandpa pack Kyu-won’s things, and he notices all her plaques and pictures. He then suggests to Grandpa that since it’s late, Grandpa can just go in the morning, and he will bring her things over tonight.
When Seok-hyun arrives, Kyu-won is asleep, having taken her painkillers. Seok-hyun fight over who should stay for the night, but the nurse comes in to check if they’re family. Since they’re not, she asks them to wait outside, because they’re men… and the patient’s a woman… (Wow lady, I don’t think anyone is going to try and molest her in her sleep, but OK.)
Now that both are kicked out, Seok-hyun suggests having coffee. He reassures Shin that Kyu-won will be fine, as she’s a strong person. But Shin doesn’t think Kyu-won is as strong as she presents herself to be. (Hmm, lover boy’s got insight.) Seok-hyun offers some praise after watching the two bands practice together. He does note that the original writer of the ending song is really picky about certain things, and likes to show-off; yup, he’s also talking about himself.
Seok-hyun heads to go check on Kyu-won before he leaves for the night, but Shin isn’t letting him go alone. He too wants to go check on Kyu-won! *Goofy smile*
The next morning, Shin goes over early to check on her again, but Kyu-won’s not in her room. Instead, she’s already out in the lounge, on a wheelchair, listening to some music. She’s surprised to see him, and tells him he didn’t need to come and check up on her. But he has an excuse ready: holding up her notes, he asks her to explain some of the stuff he doesn’t understand. Kyu-won can’t help but be a little disappointed.
As she’s explaining musical composition, Shin isn’t really listening to her – he’s just staring at her. HA. He’s also bored by it all. Frustrated, she tells him to listen carefully as she explains for the fourth time, and Shin nods like a drone, only smiling and listening to her melodic voice instead of what she’s really saying.
He ends up falling asleep as she talks, which annoys her even more, and that’s when all her friends from Windflowers and The Stupid arrive bearing food and fireworks. They came to visit, and are surprised to see Shin there. They thought he was just hanging by himself, alone, instead of visiting Kyu-won of his own accord. By himself. “I came to get tutored,” he says, with wide eyes proclaiming innocence.
The two of them manage to get to a safe spot, exhilarated that they didn’t get caught. Thing is, they don’t know where everyone else went, and wonder if they made it out safely. Shin watches her laughing and worrying about others, despite the pain she’s in.
Shin: Kyu-won. Don’t stop liking me.Kyu-won: What?Shin: (kneeling in front of her) Don’t stop…liking me.
And fireworks go off in the distance.
