WISHING STAIRS Let us always be together. That's it, Jin-sung. Like that. Very good, that's the way. Relax your arm, relax - So-hee, cue - Yes What if we're caught? It's not our major anyway. But what if he tells Ms. Muhn? Say you took me to the hospital. That's ridiculous. You're the one who wanted to see the concert What are you so worried about? Jin-sung, are you coming? No. Don't make me laugh. Come on. You two there Hey! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... Happy birthday, dear Hae-ju Happy birthday to you. No It's fattening. Only for today. My favorite cream cake. Happy birthday, Hae-ju. My pretty's shoes. What are you doing here? What're you hiding? It's your birthday? You ate the whole cake? That's why you're so fat. Look in the mirror. It's pretty serious. How long have you been coming here? Let's use it together from now on. But doesn't it smell in here? Is it pork fat? You preparing for the art show? The fox's stairs. That make your wish come true... How childish. It's true. If the 29th stair appears, it grants your wish. You believe that? Why not? Have you heard? If you wish real hard, the fox listens out of pity. What do you wish for? To be a famous ballerina? All I want is you. What the heck? It's my mom. You're dead. Go on. You go first. - Hurry up. - Hurry See you tomorrow So-hee, thanks for the concert I love you. Do you have gym clothes? Don't forget next time. All right. Why don't you wash them? You see? Nah, she's lying. Right? See? You're dead. Looking for someone? They won't fit me, but... What? I have gym class next... Gym clothes? Take mine. So cute. One, two, three, four... Her pants are bursting There are diet pills for that... Stop it Hey, your pants ripped. Can't you girls run properly? In time. One, two... Good afternoon Good afternoon Hey, put your hair up. Jin-sung, what's your problem? Who told you to skip class and see a concert? I kept praising you, so your head started to swell? A lot of girls are as good as you. What did I tell you was most important? Practice With your body, you need to practice till it kills you. That goes for all of you. Teacher... What now? Jin-sung didn't want to... I forced her to go. You girls are taking me for a ride. So-hee, is your leg okay? You can stop seeing a doctor? - Hello? - Hello? - Where are you? - Hello? Where are you? I'm in the dorm. What are you doing? Hello? Hello? So-hee, I can't hear you. Hello? Hello? I guess she can't hear. - Hello? - Hello? Jin-sung Hey Quiet. Grab me. - You scared me - Quiet I snuck out of home What's with you? It's okay if I sleep here? Why are you so scared? Oh, my stomach. You know why my mom made me take ballet? She always wanted to do it, so now I have to. Wish I could live somewhere without mom or ballet. When we turn 20, let's live together. Okay? Hey, answer me. All right. You're done. Hey, what the hell? I've always had potential as a stylist. - You'll drive me crazy. - Let's take a picture. - Looking like this? - It's pretty Here I go. Bored? Eat some more. I won't leave you, we're friends forever. You too. Bored? Eat some more. I won't leave you, we're friends forever. Fifteen sixteen twenty-seven twenty-eight Twenty-nine? Fox, fox, please grant my wish. Make me lose weight... Ta-dah Jin-sung. Actually... I'm happiest when doing ballet. In ten years, we'll be at London Opera House. I'll be Giselle, and you'll be Albrecht. It'll be gorgeous, won't it? I'm going home. See you at school. Why am I Albrecht? I'll be Giselle. Did you see the notice? Only one person from our school can go. If you win the competition, you go to a Russian ballet school. You'll try? Take a look. If you just do well at Giselle, the prize is yours. You can do it. Technique's important, but you need emotion for Giselle. You're good at that. You've got the fundamentals, so if you prepare, I hope you can go. Why do you fool around with Jin-sung these days? Is your leg healed? Let me look. Crybaby. Your mom said you were all better. Is your mother well? Yes So-hee, give this to your mom. Jin-sung, did I scare you? Our little Jin-sung... Where were you? I looked all over. Let's have a chat, okay? Just a minute. Hello? Yeah. Okay, mom. Yeah. It's all worked out. Hey, you scared me. Why are you laughing? Sorry. I look different, don't I? It's not just looking different. You lost a ton of weight. You look real pretty now. Did you make this? The fox's stairs in front of the dorm, right? They say your wish comes true, if the 29th step appears. That stairway was the first thing to listen to me. It believed me, and granted my wish. So I believe in the stairs. If you give your heart to it, the 29th step will really appear, and grant your wish. You really believe that? I begged for it to make me lose weight. Oh god, my toe shoes are gone What? Look harder. Hurry, we're late. Jin-sung, can I borrow your toe shoes? The bandages come off, and she's flying across the floor. Was she faking it? Poor me... Not all of you can take part in this competition. Only one student can go. It's not my choice, so we'll hold auditions to choose one person fairly. If you're interested, come to the office later. Hey, you'll never get anywhere with that attitude. You need to try harder. It's a good opportunity, so fight tooth and nail. Say something Good luck. That's all for now. An audition in name only. They gave Giselle to So-hee. Whoever dances Giselle there wins. Jin-sung, you need new toe shoes. They're all worn out. Teacher... See you later. Okay. I need to talk to you. - Now? - Yes. You know Giselle is a high level role? I know how you feel, but you need more than just desire. You understand what I'm saying? See you tomorrow. Hey you there Hey, Jinny What are you doing? Let's go buy toe shoes. I'll treat you to dinner. Hey, you trying to look cool?

Sorry to have sent you out in the rain that way. It was cold, huh? So-hee, how'd you get here? Is your leg okay? I waited 3 hours at the hospital today. But then I thought you'd refuse to see me again. And when you and your mother... Jin-sung, congratulations. I'm okay. All I need is you. - Jinny. - Sso. Jin-sung. Hi So-hee is dead.

What's a dead girl's stuff doing here? Hey, psycho's here. Is this yours? If it is, I'll give it to you. Give it I said to go to the snack bar. What is this? We're not sheep. I've been so hungry all this time. - Here, have some. - Mine, too. Do you think I'm a pig? What a freak. What's gotten into her? They think we're rabbits? Feeding us grass... - Let's go to the restroom. - Why? The bell rang. Go yourself. Why are you dragging me along? Slow down, my stomach's full. Pot belly Hey, you've gained weight, huh? Shouldn't you lose a few kilos? I gained weight? Nobody else said that. - I gained weight? - Maybe not. You're just teasing You cute little pot belly. If you diet, the first thing to go are your breasts. If yours get any smaller, the guys won't like it... With breasts, if guys feel them they'll get bigger. How's Young-tae doing? Hey, I told you not to mention him You're dead. You're the one who started those rumors? Just you try mentioning him again One two three four five six... twenty-eight twenty-nine Fox, fox, please grant my wish. Please send So-hee back to me. YOON Jin-sung. YOON Jin-sung Wait Keep standing there. Sit, you little punk. Attention Our Jin-sung here... ...has been invited to a Russian ballet school. It's an honor for her and the school. I'm very proud. What? No reaction? Let's all applaud her. Applause Don't be rude. Applause Hi For Hae-ju's use only Do you feel lonely? Like you're the only person in the world? At such times, try to show friends or family your love. Those who feel lonely don't allow love to start. An honest love will receive back twice what is given. If you gave your heart in vain, how bleak a world it would be. If you loved and were ignored, wouldn't it be better to die? Why bother living? Your hair would be prettier black. I've always wanted to get close to you. Really. I like you so much. That's not it, Young-sun. Lift your leg higher and pull back your shoulders. Make a line with your leg. Try it again. Together with the music. Let's stop. But we only did it twice. Just say we did it all. The audio's broken anyway... Back during the audition, you changed toe-shoes with So-hee. Why was that? Why do you care? Oh, what is this? Hey, turn on the light. It wasn't me. Wait a sec. Stop it, calm down It was rusty water. Why are you freaking out? If they repair pipes, they should let us know. It's just the wind. Back to your rooms - But I saw a ghost. - There's no such thing Hey, quiet I really hate the dark. Don't you hear something? I hear it. I really do. But would black hair suit me? Me with black hair? A stylist? I know you have that talent. Really? Thank you. Stop it. It tickles All right, I'll do what you say. Who is it? Who is it? It's Hae-ju. I keep hearing noises. I can't sleep. Like someone's tapping at my window. Let me sleep here, just for tonight. What noise? It's the wind. I'm scared. What's there to be scared of? We'll get yelled at if you stay. Go back. I'm sorry. - Should we wish too? - Should we? - I want bigger breasts. You? - I want a boyfriend. - With that face of yours? - Your breasts are even worse. - What the hell? My breasts? - That's right. Hey, you all go ahead. I forgot something. - Okay, see you. - Bye Fox, fox, please grant my wish. Once again, this self-portrait serves as your final exam. And if you go make something weird, you'll get a zero. Got it? Yes. Yoon-ji Yes? You bored working with younger kids? I'll be going down to check your work. Understand? Got it. You punk. I said I got it. Hey, HAN Yoon-ji! Now let's have an interview with the best artist. Yoon-ji, when did you start taking art? Elementary school, 2nd grade.
