EXT: HANJIN – STREET – AFTERNOON

Seungcheol and CEO are standing on the bend of a corner as Seungcheol kicks at the pavement uncomfortably and CEO just leans on the wall, looking at the boy with an amused expression.

CEO

What are you doing now?

S.CHEOL

(Looks up)

Trying to keep my mind busy.

CEO

Still won’t change the fact of what’s about to happen.

S.CHEOL

Yeah, but sir, do I really need to be here?

CEO

(Sternly)

What do you think it takes to be leader? I would have thought you of all people understood the responsibility-

S.CHEOL

I do.

CEO

Then stop fidgeting.

Seungcheol stops kicking as he looks up at CEO.

S.CHEOL

(Pouts)

I’m not fidgeting.

He shrugs and paces as CEO rolls his eyes.

S.CHEOL

I won’t have to do anything… violent right?

CEO

(Bored)

No.

S.CHEOL

Will you? Will you do anything?

CEO

Do you think I came all the way to this horrid place to watch you kick gravels?

S.CHEOL

So… you’re going to… beat him?

CEO

(Scoffs)

Please. I’m way too elegant for that. Why would I want to get my hands dirty?

A loud shout erupts from the other side of the street as Seungcheol runs up the bend in time to see a group of men beating up Bimah with his bag of groceries on the ground, forgotten.

CEO

My men on the other hand, own no such finesse.

Seungcheol and CEO walk up to Bimah as the men slow down on their beating and shift aside to give them a view of Bimah lying on the ground and bleeding.

BIMAH

(Coughs up blood)

I am going to sue you.

CEO

Okay.

S.CHEOL

Not so much fun when the shoe’s on your foot eh?

CEO leans in to Seungcheol and whispers.
