## Surprise ☆ I Have Fans Too?!

"**Surprise ☆ I Have Fans Too?!**" (서프라이즈☆나에게도 팬이?!) is the fourth episode of *Shining Star*. It first aired on November 6, 2017 on MBC, and was posted on the YouTube channel on February 11, 2019.

## Synopsis

*Nara and See-a prepare for their dance battle Mission when they meet a little girl worried about her upcoming surgery.*

## Summary

In the hospital a little girl watches Nara's recent performance until her mother shows up. She comments that she must really like idols to watch it again, and goes on to tell her that once she recovers from her surgery and gets healthy she may begin attending Shining Star School. The little girl claims she doesn't care anymore, and her mother embraces her knowingly.

In the auditorium, Nara tries to convince See-a to take a selfie with her until the meeting begins, in which Shirley and Jackie explain that this Mission will be a dance battle. Everyone who enters will have the same song and choreography, and for winning this time they will receive a new Noble Rosetta Coordi; the *Pro-fusion Oriental*. Shirley also reveals that this Mission will be broadcast live, words that has the student body in an uproar.

Nara, See-a, and Jin walk through town and she stresses out over all the pressure now put onto her. But after spotting some sweets they head into a well-known cafe with a charming aesthetic that Nara quickly takes a liking to. The owner, an older woman approaches them and explains that because she likes idols she made the shop here in hopes that students of Shining Star School would stop by. While she wishes to talk further she notices she has customers and takes off. See-a remarks on how interesting she is as Nara prepares to dig into the pile of macaron they ordered, only for See-a's Magic Agent to start chiming. She opens it to see that they will all be performing to "*Checkmate*", much to Nara's frustration over having to learn a whole new dance.

As she eats the macaron, See-a and Jin begin to doubt her supposed claims of stress when her mood instantly perks up- but in discussion of the macaron a trio of girls approach them out of concern they were badmouthing their unit, *Macaron*. As Jin expresses amusement after Nara shows them the macaron's on her plate, one of the girls suggest they head off to rehearse and they take off. Nara compliments the cute name, but Jin expresses concern over how well she will do this mission as she doesn't seem very serious, and See-a offers to help her out. Nara thanks her but insists that she should try doing it on her own this time.

Later, Jackie is having everyone in class show him the choreography. As usual Hera doesn't fail to impress, while Nara struggles to remember and he chastises her. She's sure she can do it though, but he expresses concern seeing that she isn't very confident. Once class ends everyone leaves and See-a offers to help her out again, until a commotion in the hallway distracts them. They look to find Calliope making her way through but she isn't very responsive to Nara and See-a's greeting, choosing to speak to Hera about how impressed she is with her. She also compliments See-a, and Nara realizes that she is going to have to accept some help or else she won't stand a chance.

With that, Nara spends the next few day training until she makes some progress. Then one evening, See-a and Nara sit down to discuss the Mission and go through her Magic Agent when See-a confesses not to knowing what to wear. Nara offers to pick for her and chooses the Sea Marine Star outfit she obtained from the last Mission and See-a agrees, complimenting the simplistic approach she chose to take. They are about to resume practice when the little girl from the Hospital -Roy- happens to spot them and stays to observe. See-a asks her to step aside so that they can start, but Roy refuses as this spot belongs to her. See-a is confused and unwilling to budge, while Nara plays along in hopes of easing the situation. Roy explains to them that a while back she used to play there all the time and she stubbornly refuses to leave, then she goes on to insult them- but realizing she slipped up she tries to cover her words by angering Nara. See-a pushes her away choosing to focus on training and Roy sadly sits on the bench the girls were just occupying. She then spots one of their dropped Magic Agents.

In the rehearsal room See-a and Nara practice to music while Lily and Rose observe them. Lily accuses her of betraying them after Rose expresses concern that See-a could win when Hera spots them and approaches, just in time for Jin to ask for an explanation as to why they are there. The duo storm off and he enters the room to find the girls taking a break. He asks if they picked an outfit yet and Nara admits she hasn't, but she did help See-a. As See-a goes to show him, the girls are shocked to discover her Magic Agent is missing. She realizes that she must have left it behind at the park.

The following morning, Roy has come to Shining Star School to return the Magic Agent. But as she observes the wonderful school grounds, she is startled by Rose and Lily, and in the process drops it right into Lily's hands. After they identify it they refuse to return it to Roy, promising to hand it over because they are "*friends*" of See-a's. Roy is suspicious and Rose tries to scare her away, when this doesn't work they begin picking on her. Roy isn't phased, and she begins to cry in order to get revenge. Wanting to avoid a scene -and possible trouble- they are given no choice but to give into her demands. Roy has Rose give her a piggyback ride through the hallway in search of See-a, and just as Jin leaves the duo to check the park for the Magic Agent, they happen to find the girls. Roy tells them they can leave now as the duo recognize her and she returns the Magic Agent- but asks if she can see the school first.

In the park, Jin searches for the missing item when Hendel contacts him to reveal its been recovered. But in the process of explaining what happened, Roy's mother overhears them and approaches him to explain Roy has gone missing.

As they have no choice the girls decide to make a day of it by showing Roy various things within the school. Besides watching Macaron practice, they share some pizza -with Roy encouraging Nara to eat a lot so that she has strength to train- and observe the schoolyard. They bring her to the Auditorium on the stage and See-a tries to determine what to do about Roy, but Nara confesses that she's been having fun and doesn't mind spending time with her. She offers to speak to Roy though, but before they can say anything they discover she's lost consciousness. Just then her mother an Jin show up, and they rush her to the school infirmary.

As Roy remains in bed, her mother explains that she was born an unhealthy baby. A lot of time was recently spent in the Hospital and initially she didn't seem to be doing any better, but after she began to watch an Idol named "*Chae Nara*" she seemed to improve. It then dons on her that Nara must be this idol, and she wonders if Roy came here in order to see her, due to being really scared over her upcoming surgery.

After Roy has recovered, her mother thanks them for helping her and they prepare to go. Roy sadly refuses to return to the hospital, but Nara takes her hand and promises that if she does as her mother asks and cooperates, she will grant her a wish. Initially the little girl refuses since its impossible, but she tells Nara that her wish would be for her to perform Shining Star during her next performance. This worries Jin and See-a as Nara agrees, and after they start walking away they ask if she's sure about this. The Mission is dance related and she could be disqualified for not following the rules by using the song they chose, but she's already made up her mind. They ask her to think it over some more before making her final decision.

On the day of the Mission, everyone who entered performs until eventually it's Nara's turn. See-a asks if she is sure about her decision and Nara confirms that she did not waver once since making it; even if everyone makes fun of her for it, she wants to sing for Roy. See-a agrees to support her and she wishes her luck. Nara changes into her chosen Coordi and appears on stage to perform Shining Star.

As expected this causes the Judges, Shirley, and Jackie to express confusion as its not the song she was supposed to perform to. Jackie can't understand because they did cover it in class an Shirley wonders if she was unprepared. Still, Nara performs in hopes of reaching out to Roy and fulfilling her wish, which means more to her than anything else right now.

Seeing her perform, Roy feels more confident now and she informs her mother that she's ready. As she is wheeled off to another room she thanks Nara for giving her strength.

Hera is announced the winner and she is given the new Coordi cards. Nara isn't very surprised but she is very happy, and with See-a and Jin she heads straight to the Hospital, where they wait for Roy to wake up. Her mother announces that because the surgery went well she will not be required to return to the Hospital anytime soon, and Nara asks if she saw her perform. She confirms that she did, then she teases her by asking if she really gave it her all. Nara responds by suggesting Roy sing if she really thinks she did not, and Roy assures her that she will. She plans on becoming an Idol someday, and then she will perform better than her. This makes everyone laugh with amusement.
