#1
OPENING
Kang gets out of the car and sees all the protesters standing in front of their building. GR comes up next to him and starts walking to the building, but she stops right at the edge of all the protesters. JSH comes up right next to her with his manager. He tells her to raise her chin and he grabs her hand. They look deeply at each other and he tells her, let’s go.
They start to walk in slo-mo through the crowd. Kang watches them go. Suddenly the crowd converges on them with all the screaming fans and flashes going off on their faces. Inside, JSH and GR talk. GR says that this place is the place she comes when she wants to cry, but now you are with me here all the time, so all the things that happen to us, we are standing here. JSH – is it hard for you, are you scared because of me?
GR – it is not difficult to like you, but i dont know what is best for you
JSH – GR, i like you a lot, you know that right? So, I thought about all the ways to protect you, i want to walk with you anywhere like we did today. it is the first time in my life, so i will protect you in whatever way, trust me and hold my hand, and can you just walk with me? i know i am giving you a lot of heavy weights to bear.
GR walks up to him and holds his hands.
GR – okay, I like it. I want to hold your hand and walk anywhere becasue i like you a lot.
They stare at each other while holding hands and we fade tot he next scene.
Kang comes in and says if it took 5 more minutes then he would throw them you both out of the window. they go to the radio station and wonder what to talk about, they have no script so maybe it is better to play a recording. A lot of people will talk about the two of them. But JSH says that they should do the radio live, that is why there are there.
JSH is ready to take on whatever the callers might ask him, it is okay if they ask him if he likes GR. Everyone start to get ready for the show. GR takes calls and asks them to not say bad things about JSH.
ON AIR
JSH takes calls. One person wants him to listen to his story, he has been bullied a lot and can’t sleep at night, he cries when he thinks about what will happen at school. JSH says he understands what he says, he acted when he was little, he couldn’t go to school and lived on the shooting site. He doens’t have any school pictures or a diploma. So he knows how it feels to not fall asleep at night like him. The caller is happy that JSH knows his feelings so they play a song for him. Coffee Boys, cheer up.
Kang and AD are surpsrised that they don’t have a lot of angry callers. GR goes into the room and starts to talk to JSH, but then they will have one more call so she goes out.
JSh takes the last phone call. She is the head of a fan club. But she lied to GR when she was screaned. She tells JSH that she is so mad as a fan. Can’t she go on a date with her now? Everyone knew that she was dating her, all the fans knew this, but they wanted to protect him. JSH says he doens’t want to have to think a lot to like someone, why should he have to do that, this is the first time in his life so he just decided to love her. The fan wants to know what he will do if all the fans leave him and he says he would be very sad, but….he will still want to like her.
Kang rubs his eyes and GR looks at JSH who is also looking at her.

JSH apologizes to Kang but he says that it is his first time answering his callers truthfully and that he likes radio a lot. Kang pulls GR aside to talk to her. He says he is a person who worres about her, she should think about all the ways she will suffer later, will she still continue? She says yes and Kang says the two of them drive him crazy. Let’s go.
Outside, all the fans are angry as they talk about JSH dating this girl. They pounce on his as he and GR leave, the police have to hold them all back. But then Kang tells them all 1-2-3-4, come here, you are all breaking the law right now. Stop doing that! Don’t take pictures. But they just say that they are just taking Oppa’s picture and Kang argues back, what if I just take your picture, will you be happy?
JSH puts GR in the car and drives her home, but her house is still covered in people and protesters. Kang shows up at the house first and tells JSH to just leave, it doesn’t help her if he is there. GR says she will call him later.

JSH
JSH thinks of what GR told him…why did you change your name from Woo Ji-woo to Ji Su-ho. He starts driving, but then he sees an image of Woo Ji-woo crossing the street and slms on the breaks. He breathes hard as he tries to compose himself.
At GR’s home, she flips through one of Kangs books and sees the notes inside. She asks Kang what this is. Kang tells her that those are the letters they have been receiving at the station.
Back at JSH’s home, we see Jason at the computer writing a letter (?). JSH walks right in and they alk about the post cards. JSH says that Jason was right, JSH didn’t have insomnia but depretion 12 years ago. He was diagnosed with it 12 years ago instead of insomnia.
Flashback
JSH sits with his parents looking uncomfortable as they take family photos. Then we see him walking in on his parents talking about him and yelling. JSH leaves and goes to his room. He takes 5 sleeping pills and covers his ears as he lays in his bed. Then he wakes up in a hospital room and looks around. Then we see him in the hallway looking out the window. Someone comes up next to him and hits him playfully, but it doens’t look like they know each other. they both look out the window at GR playing with some little kids. Then Woo Ji-woo asks who he is.
Cut to little JSH reading a script at the hospital. Woo Ji-woo comes in and sits on teh bed with him, JSH asks him where he is from and JW says he has lived there his entire life. JW asks him if he wants to be his friend? If he does then he will show him a beautiful secret, he won’t be able to live to 20 years old, so he will just have a happy life and live the way he wants. Both boys fall in love with GR and take care of her. JW tells JSH that he liked GR for 3 months. We see little images of Woo Ji-woo and JSH hiding as they watch GR all over the hospital. JW says he wants to kiss her before he dies.
Jason wants to know if he told GR that he is not Woo Ji-woo, why does he live like him in front of her? She thinks he is Woo Ji-woo from 12 years ago. GR likes you because you are Woo Ji-woo, but you are Ji Su-ho. When will you tell her the truth?
JSH goes to sleep and has a nightmare. He wakes up contemplatively and looks at the postcard, then he picks it up and leaves. Meanwhile, Jason gets a cal from GR, she wants to know what is going on. Is JSH, Woo Ji-woo? Are they different people?
Then we see JSH at Woo Ji-woo’s memorial. His high school diploma in teh building. Flahback of JSH at the hospital. JSH kisses GR in the church and his friend sees him do it. JSH also saw the friend after he kissed her.
Jason comes to the memorial building and JSH asks him if he sent him the postcards to make him come there? Did he wonder how he would react? Then Jason turns psycho and asks JSH if he liked being called JSH’s killer. JSH punches him and Jason smiles as he looks at him on the ground.
Meanwhile GR is in front of JSH’s house, she wants to talk to him. But Kang says she should leave, it will be worse if someone sees you in front of JSH’s house. So GR calls the company man and he lets her inside. They both talk about JSH and Jason, she can’t contact them both. Then GR asks the company man when he became JSH’s manager. He says middle school, why? GR is about to ask him about Woo Ji-woo, but she doens’t and says she will ask JSH directly.
Then she sits and waits. While waiting she thinks back to all the moments in the hospital with JSH. She wanteed to see his face, but he wanted her to remember him like this.
Finally JSH comes in and she stands to greet him, but he just pulls her into a big hug right away. They stand in this hug for a moment before GR asks him, what does it mean…JSH killed Woo Ji-woo?
He lets go of her and stares at her, conflicted.
GR – Why did you tell me that you are Woo Ji-woo?
