[bunniefuu]

Oh my God!

So many fans here!

Let's welcome them now—

Akin,

Johnny, and Mikey!

- Hello!
- Hello!

How are you doing?

After performing in
the recent stage play?

We really put our
hearts into this stage play.

Because of love,

and the amazing
support from everyone,

we've come this far.

Thank you all so much.

Oh my God...

That was so sweet and endearing!

Everyone, get your
screenshots ready!

Exactly!

Who wouldn't fall
for that level of charm?

I'm falling for it too!

So what brings you here today?
Surely it's not just—

to charm your fans?

Do you have a surprise for us or
something you want to announce—

to your fans?

Yes!

Because of the amazing
response from the fans,

we've decided—

to bring you a surprise!

Right?

-... Johnny.
-Yes, that's right.

Our stage play—

will open two more
showings for ticket purchase.

Don't forget to grab
your tickets, everyone!

Thank you so much
for joining us today.

And what's the show called again?

"Lyche."

We'll take a short
break for commercials.

Wooo!

Thank you so much!

- See you next time!
- Thank you!

Ahh!

Akin!!

Akin, do you remember me?

I go to every one of your events!

What's my name?

Move out of the way!

What's my name?

Do you remember me?

- Do you remember me?!
- Security! Help, please!

Excuse me, please.

- Akin!!
- Sorry, please step back.

Excuse me.

Johnny, let's go—Johnny.

Sorry, please move.

Excuse us.

=TOP FORM=

=EPISODE 8=
=CLASSROOM CRUSH=

Since we're free today anyway...

Shall we go find ...

something fun to do?

Hey, you sly fox...

I haven't settled the score
with you about that night yet.

Whoa...

Now we have a score to settle?

Funny... you don't seem nearly as cute sober.

Take this!

Ouch!

Hey!

That's for messing
with me!

Still feel like messing with me... ?

Akin...

Jin!

This is Naru, my junior.

Hello.

I came to audition for the remake
of Boys Over Whiteboards.

I didn't expect to get
to meet Akin and—

You...

Johnny!

I remember you!

You acted in the play with Akin.

Johnny!

Jin has a surprise for you!

Ugh...

I've sold myself for
roles in every show already.

What now?

Are you trying to use
that to threaten me?

Wow. That really hit the spot, huh?

Are you nuts?

Who's nuts?

Johnny...

What do you mean by “sold yourself”?

What are you selling?

Like selling smoothies?

Or like selling brewed drinks?

How did you get here?

I brought Naru for an audition.

Don't mess with me.

Seeing that uniform...

makes me think of the old days.

Yeah, true.

You once...

acted in a series—

with the same outfit
Naru's wearing, right?

Yeah.

I was super hot back then.

Just saying.

I believe it!

Don't you even think about it.

Naru...

I need your help.

Anything, sensei.

Can I borrow your outfit?

Uh...

What do you want it for?

Is that a no?

Hey, are you sure you
brought me to the right place?

This is...

the Boys Over
Whiteboards uniform!

So what am I supposed to do?

Take promo pics
with the remake cast?

Where?

Where's Naru?

There's no one else here.

Just you and me.

No way.

Please, Kin...

- Please?
- No.

- Pretty please?
- Still no.

I just want to see you in
that outfit one more time.

If you want to see it,
just go watch the series.

Why bother me?

What are you doing?

I just want to see
you from back then...

not just through a screen.

Back then?

What do you mean, "back then"?

Like this.

Akin's iconic hairstyle!

Aahhh!!

Turn it off!

Turn it off right now!

I don't want to see it!

Why not?

No.

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

I just...

wanted to ask.

Because...

when I saw this uniform...

it reminded me of high school.

Back then, I almost became an actor.

A drama production
came to my school.

When they entered my classroom...

they stared at me for a long time.

A bunch of my friends
volunteered to audition.

Said they wanted
to try out for the role.

But in the end...

they pointed at me.

But at the time, I felt like...

it wasn't really my thing, so...

I turned them down.

But now, thinking back...

I kinda regret it.

Regret it? Why?

It's not a big deal.

No need to get dramatic.

I just regret the time
I missed out on.

If I had known...

that saying no

would make me live
without a purpose for ten years...

before I met you.

And when I finally...

met you,

I realized...

I wanted to be part of
every moment of your life.

I want to know...

what you were when you're younger.

What you were like in school.

Were you anything like me?

Do you know...

how jealous I am of others?

Those who had the chance...

to know you back then.

Why be jealous?

Even if they met me first...

No one else...

got to know me the way you do, Jun.

Give it to me.

Didn't you want to see?

You're really going to wear it?

Why not?

So you won't keep regretting...

that someone else saw me first.

Alright, time to change.

Just a sec.

And also...

Don't turn around.

Until I say so.

Got it?

Got it.

Hey...

If you laugh at me...

You're dead.

Even if it doesn't suit me now...

Back then...

When I wore this uniform...

I was so hot.

Girls were chasing me everywhere.

But

now...

It's a bit tight.

Now I get it...

Why the girls used
to chase after you.

Hey, I just thought
of a funny story.

Do you know...?

That Boys Over Whiteboards

was my first kiss ever?

And what's so funny about that?

A first kiss should
be romantic, right?

Well, my first kiss...

It was full of the taste
of fish sauce!

The female lead had
just eaten som tam.

And then she kissed me.

Now, whenever someone
asks me about my first kiss...

I always answer that...

My first kiss

was with a cat at home.

How about this, is it better?

Now that's more like it!

So I'll take it that...

I'm your first kiss then?

I need to take
this call for a second.

What do we have here?

The best actor winner, I see!

Don't jinx it just yet.

The award hasn't even been announced.

About the Legend
of Gemini, you know,

I'm a big fan.

You were amazing!

That award is as
good as yours.

Trust me.

Thanks so much.

Well, ‘Mr. Kham Ake' also acted well.

I still can't say it's me for sure.

You'll win.

Anyway, I'm cheering for you.

Fight on!

- Can we take a selfie?
- Sure.

Thank you, I'll go now.

Sorry.

Be confident in yourself.

See you again.

What a coincidence!

Do you like this as well?

Yes.

Do you like it too?

Where did you go today?

Just went to work as usual.

And after work,
where did you go?

Uh...

Personal matter.

I'm sorry,
I'll have to keep it to myself.

Well, right?

But...

There's nothing
you're hiding, right?

I'm cheering for you,

for Best Actor.

I've liked you
since your first drama.

I've always liked you, Akin.

And I'll probably

like you forever.

Thank you.

Akin.

I'll follow you

through every moment of your life.

It's okay.

Do you think

we've been hanging out
together too often?

Well, we are...

We're boyfriends, right?

Not yet,

Not so fast.

We're practically like that now,

it's the same thing.

What are you worried about?

I'm not worried.

I'm just afraid that...

If anyone sees us...

It might look bad.

Why?

Did something happen to you, Akin,

that made you feel uneasy?

Hmm...

It's nothing.

Well then, I'll go take
a shower and sleep now.

Good night.

Goodbye.

Love you.

[A golden stag brooch]

You can find these
everywhere.

Akin.

If there's anything,
you can talk to me.

It's nothing, really.

Yesterday, I met some weird fans.

So it's been bothering me a bit.

Akin.

Don't think it's a small thing.

Do you remember the ‘sasaeng'
incident five years ago?

It's lucky that Ning managed to
catch them before it got worse.

Let's do this instead.

I'll ask Ning to
add security for you.

Thank you, Sine.

Hey, by the way.

Has Grandma sent a reply letter yet?

Not yet.

Why don't you buy her a phone?

She doesn't want one.

She says

writing a letter

makes her feel like
she's having a real conversation.

Both you and Grandma,

are so artistic.

Alright then.

If you miss Grandma, let me know
when you want to visit her.

Just tell me.

Akin.

Do you remember me?

I go to every event
where you're there.

What's my name?

What's my name?

Do you remember me?

Sorry, I don't remember.

Where did you go today, Akin?

Personal matter,
I'm sorry, I can't tell you.

There's nothing to hide, right?

Excuse me miss.

- Akin's hand is still as soft as ever.
- Please step back.

I have

a letter for you.

A letter?

You must be so happy!

Grandma...

Your grandma is really sweet.

[To my dear grandson, Akin]

What the hell is this?

Akin!

Go inside first.

I'll call the police.

Go, Akin!

Akin!

Akin!

Get inside, quick!

How long are you going to
keep staring at those photos?

Then how did those pictures get
here? What happened?

She came to
the front of the building.

We followed her,
but couldn't find her.

She must know all
the escape routes very well.

Just based on the CCTV footage,

we could report her
for trespassing and as*ault.

But what if she gets mad...

and leaks those private photos?

What would we do then?

Is it worth the risk?

But if we let her
go just because of that,

we'll be at
a disadvantage right away.

And she could use that
card against us anytime.

We have to find a way to fight back.

I think I might have a way…

But now I don't even know
where that person disappeared to.

And what if she tries
to pull some crazy stunt?

Right now…

The news about Akin being
stalked is already spreading online.

She'll probably have to
go into hiding for a while.

With behavior like that,
no fandom will accept her.

She's going to be
hunted by other fans,

for quite a while.

Then let's go ahead and
prepare for a press conference.

Jun…

Why are you here?

Finished your sh**t already?

You still have the energy
to worry about someone else?

To me…

nothing is more important than you.

I'm sorry.

If I hadn't come up
with that stupid idea…

this wouldn't have happened.

It's okay.

No one wanted any of this to happen.

I'll fix this myself.

You don't have to be afraid.

I'll protect you.

Jin insists on taking a
three-day break from work.

As for the last-minute
cancellation of the job…

The client…

is currently calculating the damages.

And they also requested…

that we personally
apologize to them.

It seems lately…

you haven't been able to keep
your talents under control, Ford.

With a product this valuable…

if there's any damage…

can you really take
responsibility for it?

Maybe it's time someone
faced the consequences.

On behalf of Nitto Entertainment…

we would like to
protect our talent…

and we assure everyone…

that we won't allow this kind
of incident to happen again.

Mr. Akin—

May we get an interview?

Mr. Akin?

Mr. Akin, can we ask—

How do you feel about
everything that's happened?

What happened…

No matter who it happens to…

no one would ever want something
like that to happen to them.

Why do you think that
sasaeng acted that way?

And what about Jin?

Was he involved in any of this?

Is it true that the reason
behind the harassment…

is related to the relationship
between Akin and Jin?

Do you really have something
going on between you two?

- Is it true?
- How are things really?

As everyone already knows…

Akin and Jin…

are close colleagues
in the same industry.

But there's definitely nothing…

beyond that.

Jin and I…

we're really like brothers.

I'd like to…

say something to that fan.

At first, I was very upset
by what happened…

I both understood…

and didn't understand.

Thank you…

for admiring me.

Thank you…

for always supporting me.

And I…

will always support you too.

[JinAkin leak is real—
Netizens suspect a sasaeng is behind it.]

[Worried for them. If this hurts
their relationship, that sasaeng's done.]

[Cute, sure—
but no one deserves a privacy breach.]

[I will hunt you down, sasaeng.]

[Everyone! I found
the sasaeng's account!]

[Not saying we should cancel anyone...
just kindly vanish from existence.]

Guess life's getting a lot
harder now, huh?

What do you want?

Delete all the pictures.

Then go back to
living your normal life.

Or you can keep the pictures…

And live in hiding, constantly
looking over your shoulder…

While my lawyer and
I prepare to file charges…

With evidence that will convict you.

Charges for harassment
and invasion of privacy.

Then…

You can prepare your
money for the fine…

And prepare to sleep in jail.

Decide for yourself.

And the cloud.

Good.

Someone else wants
to have a word with you.

Can I talk for a bit?

Why did you do this?

Thank you…

For always coming to see me…

For always cheering me on…

But I still don't understand…

How you could
do something like this.

But I've thought it over…

I'm going to drop the charges.

All this time…

I've had you, Akin…

As the only source
of happiness in my life.

I followed everything you did…

Everything.

I came to every event you attended…

Bought every magazine
you were featured in…

Akin, do you know?

I supported you…

In every way I could.

I just wanted you to see me…

To remember me…

To talk to me

like we're doing now.

But now that we are talking…

Why do your eyes…

Look different from
the person I used to know?

Even if you can't forgive me yet…

You, will…

Will always be my light.

You...

will also be my light.

Good evening, distinguished
guests and viewers at home.

Welcome to the announcement of…

the most prestigious award
in the entertainment industry…

Golden Mask Award 2022.

Thank you…

for helping me.

If you're okay, then I'm okay.

So…

What's the reason

you asked to see me?

It's about “The Legend of Gemini.”

I want to build on
the momentum from the series…

And I want Channel S to
grow more in the film division.

So I had the idea to
make a sequel a movie.

And I'd like you to
reprise your lead role.

No problem.

But judging by your tone…

I'm guessing this isn't

just about
“The Legend of Gemini,” is it?

About the photos
the sasaeng took of you two…

After that day, we combed
through everything thoroughly.

To make sure no backups
of the files exist anywhere.

Still, it's possible…

That someone else

got hold of
the photos before we did.

Someone…

Whose data we can't access easily.

So just be careful for now, okay?

This is just my hunch…

In the meantime,
I'll prepare a contingency plan.

Now we're about to present the award
everyone's been waiting for...

The Best New Actor Award!

Are you nervous?

So much, yes!

All this time...

Thank you so much, Akin.

Why are you thanking me?

I didn't do anything.

I'm the one...

who should be thanking you.

You found a great lawyer for me.

You took care of me.

Handled so many things for me.

But all along…

You've always been
the one protecting me.

You always take all the
negative onto yourself.

What I did for you...

it's not even close to enough.

Hey now…

Protecting you…

That's my job as
your Sensei, isn't it?

I can't let

you have any flaws…

Because today…

Today is your day.

Can I have a kiss on the lips?

Let's go.

Please welcome Akin,

our guest presenter for this award.

I'm truly honored

to be here to present this award.

The award I received when I was 22.

So, if we round the number,

that was about seven years ago.

This award...

was basically
the beginning of it all for me.

My success...

my ambition...

my passion...

and my love.

I hope

this award...

will also mark a grand beginning

for whoever receives it tonight.

The Best New Actor
Award this year goes to...

Jin, from the drama
The Legend of Gemini!

[Golden Mask Award]

Please allow me to set
the award down for a moment.

I've prepared a little speech.

First and foremost,
I'd like to thank Sigma

for always giving me opportunities.

From just an ordinary kid
who was never in the spotlight,

to someone who now

has enough light to take on

the lead role in
The Legend of Gemini.

Thank you to Producer Jade,

to Director Hong Tē,

and to every single team
member of The Legend of Gemini,

for working together

to create this incredible series,

which, tonight,

has helped me become a star.

Most importantly,

I want to thank Akin

for always guiding and teaching me.

And I hope

this award

will be the beginning
of my hopes and dreams.

And now, the next award—

Best Actor

is...

Congratulations to
Mr. Kham Ake!

Here you go.

Watch me.

Next year...

I'm going to win that award
for sure. Just wait and see!

Kin, don't talk

while you're eating.
You might choke.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

But the drama
Mr. Kham Ake starred in...

It was the channel T's
masterpiece too, right?

I heard the script
was really intense.

So it's not surprising he won.

This year...

I'm okay with letting
that old man have it first.

There's always next year.

It's not like I'm quitting
acting next year or anything.

But still...

Congratulations, Jun.

So now...

Am I your number one

Sexiest guy yet, Kin?

What did you say?

I didn't hear that.

Hmm...

You are.

Hey! Where are you going?

Get back here!

Nooo!

I'm really number one, right?

I'm really your number
one now, aren't I?

Yeah.

Help!

See you.
