HAIR SALON
SB sits in the salon chair thinking about all the times DH told her she isn’t a woman. She wants to try a new style because she is tired of her current situation.

Back at the musical, everyone is sitting around and talking instead of practicing. The actors think they need to cancel this musical quickly so they can audition for other parts. The actress from earlier brought her daughter to practice. But her child gets yelled at for running. The actress apologizes for her kid, she is ehre because her grandmother is a bit sick.

MC comes in and talks to the little kid. This is the same girl from the hospital that recieved the hairpin from MC. They remember each othr. MC asks hr if she would like to go to the top of the building to see what is up there. They walk the hall hand in hand to the top.

ROOFTOP
MC and the little girl hang out on the roof park. The little girl thinks MC should wear her shades because her eyes are sad. She also asks if that eunnie from earlier is a witch (a bad princess?). The conversation changes to her Umma being sick. The girl says she has throat and other issues so she goes to the hospital all the time.

DH walks onto the rooftop at that moment. He and MC have a moment where they look at each other. DH is about to leave, but MC tells him to stay there, she was going to leave anyway. She walks with the little girl out and tells her that they can go to Umma. DH watches her the entire way.

Downstairs, the assistant PD tells everyone that they don’t havea practice schedule, he will let them know once they finalize the casting. Everyone thinks they should go home. The other actress thanks MC for taking care of her daughter so she could practice without getting scolded.

Outside, MC walks with ear phones in and can’t hear JY. JY tells her that she walks so fast and can’t hear anything, he was looking for her to go eat chicken. He wants to pay back the money she lent with interest. Cut to them eating chicken and beer at a restaurant. She asks him if it is his first time to have chicken and beer, he says it is his first time after having work stress. He is getting all the blame and DH is pressuring him with his power.

MC tells him that she heard they have a problem with casting. JY says the production team wants him to pick anothr actress, but he can’t decide it. MC thinks the Ex is teh best person for the role. JY wonders what MC thinks. She knows Yeun-hee the most. Which Yeun-hee should I find?

MC tells him that Yeun-hee is a strong person, she accepts different time and lives differetly, she lives in her difficult life and was born as an old person that is facing her fate. She is a great woman.

JY accepts that, but he doesnt’ like it how she faces love, she is always running away. MC thinks, maybe she has no other way. The Yeun-hee that has a different time than others, people think she is a monster and unfortunate. Loving someone can be too much or too selfish. Maybe she is always thinking about it.

JY thinks that this fantasy shoudn’t be her own story, is it because she is so into the character? You really look like the real Yeun-hee character.

Afterwards, the two of them walk up the street. JY thinks MC knows the character Yeun-hee better than him. MC says she has a secret weapon, the ex girlfriend gave MC her script and has all the notes. JY is all like, she gave it to you and not me? Ah, she betrayed me. how could she do this to me? i am her good friend but seh gave the script to someone else?

MC starts to laugh. JY tells him that how she looks at him is so familiar. Like when she called him peanut-baby. MC laughs and says, how dare I say that to the director. She also asks a favor, can she see Yeun-hee’s story on the stage? I am alwats thinking about the kind of person that Yeun-hee is. I really want to see it on the stage, even if I don’t act on the stage, I want to see it.

JY tells her that she must really think he is a peanut little boy, but he has a responsibility for his show and actors and everything, he will put on the show, don’t worry.

#4
Meanwhile, PWJ is sitting on a couch with his brother and tells him that he has so much stress. If his brother is a real brother then he should not put me in this dangerous place. PSB says that is a logical explanation but you should think about it like this, if I was not your real brother then you would get a so-so job after law school and would not be introduced to my friend. PWJ tells him his friend is over his brother, he should do a DNA test.

PSB asks him if his boss is giving him a hard time. PWJ says yes, it is because of a lot of things, MC and SB, and the Chinese company. PWJ feels like he is going to die. He sent MC to his house but he is not sure what will happen. he is so cold, I don’t even know what he is thinking, what if he collapses again? My heart, YELP!

PWJ hops when DH comes in from the shower. DH tells him that they can have tea and goes to make it. PWJ points at DH and tells his brother that he is making his own tea! He is strange now!

Elsewhere, MC talks to SH about DH. He will get married soon to SB. SH is shocked, he broke up with you not that long ago, but he is getting married again? Fine, two bad people, let’s see how long they will last. Don’t pay attention to them. MC says she won’t and asks if she is coming to practice. SH tells her that she has an appointment with someone she doesn’t’ know, she will be late. Goodbye.

Cut to SH meeting with MC’s brother. They are very quiet. The brother tells her that she looks different. Sh says that she remembers everything that happened that night. The brother says that she also remembers it, he is sorry that he doesn’t (didn’t?) remember it, because he was embarrassed. He will be responsible for it as a man.

SH tells him that she doesn’t think of him as a man, it was just a mistake after drinking. He is younger with no job and is her friends brother. She wants to meet someone older with a job and is responsible. He asks her if she is dating that PWJ guy? SH tells him he is just her friends brother, if he crosses the line again then she will not see him anymore.

COMPANY
DH gets on the elevator, MC yells to hold it so he does and they have a moment where they stare at each other. She tells him that she will take the stairs and walks away.

DH immediately goes to his meeting with JY. JY thinks it is better to pick an actress that can understand the show, not someone that will sell tickets. DH only cares about selling tickets. JY tells him to think about it some more. If he does not take his suggestion, then he will take this play with him. DH asks if he is threatening him. JY says threatening is saying you will change the director, this is a compromise. Even though it will not be a good actress, I need to have an understanding actress, that is how i can continue this show. Decide and tell me.

PWj comes in after JY leave and lets him know that the Chairman called.

DH meets with the chairman and says he will not marry SB. The chairman asks why he is refusing someone like SB, that is the place he wanted to be in. You shuold know that MJBC is pocking their company. How will you take care of the rest? DH says he will be responsible. His father thinks SB is the best person to marry and he should marry her, but DH says he will not get married anytime soon.

Appa asks if that girl is really the stopping block between him and SB? Does he have to do a dirty job because of him? Will he make the same mistake? Dh tells him that he should do whatever dirty job he wants to do, please don’t call him any more over these circumstance.

He leaves and goes straight to a bar to drink with PWJ. He tells PWJ to look into if his father will do anything to MC(?). PWJ says okay, but he is there because his brother wants to make sure that DH doesn’t get too drunk. DH grumbles, can’t he just drink by himself?

DH takes a few drinks and tells PWJ that he does not know how long he can stand there anymore. PWj asks if this is because of MC, he is having a hard time? Dh drinks. But he fills his shot glass too much. This leads to a flashback where he remember MC trying to seduce him in teh bar. If he drinks this then they are together, but if he does not then they wont see each other until they die.

He fights back tears as he pours himself another shot and takes it to the head. PWj just sighs and pours DH’s next drink for him.

Later on, PWJ holds his phone in the corner as he looks at DH, he wants to call someone but isn’t sure. After taking another look at DH, he decides to call. He tells this person that he is PWJ.

Cut back to PWJ sitting next to DH. DH drank the entire whiskey bottle.

Then Michaela comes in.

COMMENTS
Oh my gosh, I can’t take this nonsense. What was the point of SN seeing peoples time clocks if she is just goint to die suddenly. And didn’t she have like 2 years left? is she faking her own death? Does she jump from hospital to hospital and suck time from people like a vampire? Also, how many more people will MC notice are suddenly about to die? This show….

DH – It is so difficult, it is so difficult, I am having a hard time but I have no way to solve it. I have no way to get ahold of Chae Michaela.
SH – Time just stopped? If it is just stopping then it doesn’t’ matter if you stick with DH.
MC – No, I can’t.
DH – I told you I am not going to to it. It doesnt’ work with you.
SB – Then with your father, you can run away and throw away everything you have?
