Your Meaning (2)

 

##Outside of Cha HaeWon’s House (Past)##

+SungJae is running towards the house+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Kim TaeHyung!! Cha HaeWon!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae stops in place and looks ahead in shock+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “What the …”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+The house is on fire+

+People inside the house is screaming+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “N, no way…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae carefully walks closer to the house+

+SungJae stops in place, once again in shock+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “…no way…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung steps back from the house and looks at it in shock+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “(Quietly) no ing way…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung keeps stepping backwards, and looks at the house+

+TaeHyung runs into SungJae+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Ow-“

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung turns back to see SungJae, with a shocked expression on his face+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “…”

 

TaeHyung “Sung, SungJae…”

 

SungJae “What… what have you done…!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae looks at TaeHyung in shock, with tears in his eyes+

+TaeHyung looks at SungJae in surprise, also with tears in his eyes+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Did… did you…?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae faints, due to shock+

+TaeHyung looks at SungJae in shock+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “SungJae-ya!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##Starbucks near HanGuk University (Present)##

+NaYeon looks at SiAh in shock+

+SiAh looks at NaYeon+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SiAh “That’s how… Cha HaeWon died.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

What…
Did I just hear…?
Did TaeHyung…
really…
actually…
kill someone…?

 

 

 

 

 

 

SiAh “(Takes a deep breath) and after that incident, Kim TaeHyung got bullied on by Yook SungJae and his crew. And the rumor that he was a ‘murderer’ spread at school, and everyone avoided him. Except, the one and only, Park JiMin.”

 

NaYeon “No way…”

 

SiAh “Then he went to court, but the court decided that there wasn’t enough evidence to say that Kim TaeHyung was the murderer. But everyone at school knew that the court only said that because they were either scared of or bribed by Sky Group… so the bullying and exclusion continued on. And I guess Kim TaeHyung couldn’t take it anymore at a point, so he and Park JiMin fled to the States.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon is frozen in place, looking at SiAh+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SiAh “(Watching NaYeon’s response carefully) I know… it’s shocking right…?”

 

NaYeon “TaeHyung…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon thinks of TaeHyung smiling brightly at her+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “There’s no way… that TaeHyung would do such a thing… no way…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can someone…
someone like TaeHyung…
actually kill someone…

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon, out of shock, sheds a tear+

+SiAh gets surprised and looks at NaYeon+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SiAh “Are you crying…? Gosh, you must like him a lot…”

 

NaYeon “(Teary) how can someone like TaeHyung… (In disbelief) no, the TaeHyung that I know… would never do such a thing… regardless of the situation…”

 

SiAh “But listen.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SiAh holds NaYeon by the hands+

+NaYeon gets surprised and looks at SiAh+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SiAh “The reason I’m telling you this story… isn’t to backtalk your boyfriend.”

 

NaYeon “…then what’s your reason…?”

 

SiAh “(Looks at NaYeon in the eye) I’m just worried for you. I know that I barely know you, but to be honest, I had interest in Kim TaeHyung at the beginning of the semester, so I told my friend about it… and she told me this unbelievable story… then I thought of you. Kim TaeHyung is someone… that can seem like he’s all for someone one day, but turn them into ashes another… he’s that kind of a monster.”

 

NaYeon “(Looks at SiAh gravely) …”

 

SiAh “So I just wanted you… to be careful. You seem like a good, smart girl. You should take care of yourself, I mean you didn’t come all the way to Seoul just to meet a guy… a monster like that.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon looks at SiAh dolefully+

 

 

 

 

 

 

The things she was saying…
Was weird, but true…
If TaeHyung really was…
If TaeHyung really is…
someone like that…
I AM in the biggest danger…
I didn’t come all the way to Seoul
to be in such great danger-
But when did I mention to her…
that I’m from out of Seoul?

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon looks at SiAh, with a confused expression on her face+

+SiAh gets up from her seat+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SiAh “Thanks for your time, but I swear… you’ll be thanking me in the future.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SiAh turns around and walks out of the café+

+NaYeon watches SiAh leave, blankly+

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still…
am finding it hard…
to believe that TaeHyung…
not just hurt someone…
but actually killed someone…
With such an angelic face…
such a sweet voice…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##Parking Lot near a Cemetery (Present)##

+JiMin’s car parks in the parking lot+

+There already is 4 cars parked+

+TaeHyung and JiMin get ouf the car+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “Guess they’re already here.”

 

TaeHyung “…I guess they still take good care of him.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##In Front of HaeWon’s Grave (Present)##

+TaeYong, SangHyuk, NamJoo, JongHyun are sitting on lawn chairs surrounding the grave+

+SungJae is sitting in front of the grave, on top of a camping mat, blowing out candles on a cake+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Cha HaeWon…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae looks at the grave dolefully+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “I miss you. Even more… these days… (Smirks to himself) maybe not, I actually met a girl… that just seems to remind me of you. So maybe… I don’t miss you as much. (Smiles slightly)”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeYong, SangHyuk, JongHyun look at SungJae in confusion+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeYong “What girl?? He has a girlfriend?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NamJoo looks at SungJae with a smirk on her face+

+SungJae continues to look at the grave dolefully+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Like you, her first impression was… (Smirks) unforgettable…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae thinks of how NaYeon spilled coffee all over him+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “And how she’s so hard-working and passionate about everything…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae thinks of NaYeon taking notes in class, staying up in the libraries, doing presentations in front of the class+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “And… (Painful smile)”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae thinks of how NaYeon helped TaeHyung out of the room (at the Animal Rescue Club Camp), NaYeon and TaeHyung holding hands and walking in the hallways, and how NaYeon and TaeHyung were talking in the park+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “And how she… trusts someone… that shouldn’t be trusted. Now that I think about it… she does remind me of you a lot. (Smirks) and I’m… worried… that she might remind me of you… in other ways too. I’m… (Getting emotional) scared… that I might lose her completely… in Kim TaeHyung’s hands…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae’s friends look at SungJae in shock+

+SungJae tries hard to keep his emotions under control+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “So Cha HaeWon… I know you’re not in there because you want to be… but… if you feel bad… in any way… for leaving me here… to suffer in your absence… help her… (closes his eyes slightly) help her get away from him.”

 

TaeYong “Where the do you think you’re going!?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae turns around+

+TaeHyung is looking straight at SungJae, with things in his hands+

+JiMin is standing behind TaeHyung, looking at SungJae too+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “…?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeYong walks over to TaeHyung and JiMin+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeYong “What the are you guys doing here.”

 

SangHyuk “They do say, criminals always return to the scene of the crime.”

 

TaeHyung “(Looking at SungJae) why else would I come to a cemetery, I’m here to celebrate HaeWon’s birthday.”

 

TaeYong “YOU!? CELEBRATE WHOSE BIRTHDAY?! IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU, WE WOULDN’T BE CELEBRATING IT HERE IN THIS ING GRAVEYARD!!!”

 

JiMin “(Looks at TaeYong sourly) are you suffering from Alzheimer’s? At such a young age, too? The court said TaeHyung wasn’t guilty.”

 

TaeYong “What?! That’s because his parents ing bribed them! You think I wouldn’t know about that?!”

 

JiMin “I don’t really expect you to know, anything.”

 

TaeYong “What the did you just say to me? You think you’re hella smart and sh*t?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung ignores TaeYong and walks to where HaeWon’s grave is+

+SungJae looks at TaeHyung darkly+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Are you out of your mind?”

 

TaeHyung “…I wanted to celebrate his birthday, too.”

 

SungJae “You should’ve thought about that before burning him to ashes, eh?”

 

TaeHyung “…Even in the States… I celebrated it… every year.”

 

SungJae “Shut up. If he actually meant that much to you… (Looking over at the grave) he wouldn’t be in there, would he.”

 

TaeHyung “… (closes his eyes slightly) if you’re done, can you move?”

 

SungJae “Yeah, I’ll move. Let’s see what you’ve got to say… to your own victim. Yeah, what a sight.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae sits where the lawn chairs are and watches TaeHyung carefully+

+JiMin sits beside TaeHyung and puts out a new camping mat+

+TaeHyung takes a strawberry cake out of the box and lights the candles+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Long time no see, huh… I brought you your favorite cake… the cakes in Korea’s definitely better than the ones in the States, huh? (Smiles)”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin looks at TaeHyung with a pitying look+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Oh, right! I need to thank you… for liking strawberry cake! Thanks to that…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung thinks of running into NaYeon at the mart, and her dropping the strawberry cake+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Thanks to that… (Smiles shyly) I was able to meet the light of my world. (Smiles widely, with tears in his eyes) I’ll bring her next time! Hopefully…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae and his friends look at TaeHyung darkly+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeYong “Why would he bring someone here? What, to show a collection of people he killed or something? Is he a psychopath??”

 

JongHyun “...let’s just listen.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung takes a pair of sneakers out of a box and puts it on the grave+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “And your present.”

 

JiMin “It’s a little old, but still hella expensive. (Smiles)”

 

TaeHyung “(Smirks) the shoes you talked about for months… and I was waiting for your birthday to come so that I could give them to you… (Sheds a single tear) but it took me more than 5 years to finally get it to you…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin looks at TaeHyung in pity+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “But just wait… this is just the preview for your present. The other thing you talked about for months… I’ll give that to you too… very soon.”

 

JiMin “Just hang in there a bit longer.”

 

TaeHyung “And HaeWon-ah… lastly…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+Everyone looks at TaeHyung with concentration+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “(Tears falling down his cheeks) I’m sorry.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+Everyone looks at TaeHyung in shock+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “For making you wait so long… for being too scared to do anything till now… I’m… I’m so sorry…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung bows his head down to hide behind his bangs+

+JiMin pats TaeHyung’s back+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “Good job TaeHyung… you did well.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeYong, SangHyuk, NamJoo, JongHyun look at TaeHyung in confusion+

+SungJae looks at TaeHyung and JiMin in shock+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeYong “W, what’s he saying?”

 

SangHyuk “Well I’m sure he has a lot to be sorry for.”

 

JongHyun “…what the.”

+SungJae looks towards TaeHyung and JiMin’s direction+

+TaeHyung is breathing heavily+

+JiMin keeps patting TaeHyung on the back+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “…”

 

SangHyuk “You coming to TaeYong’s bar later?”

 

SungJae “...no thanks.”

 

TaeYong “And why not??”

 

SungJae “My arm still hurts, and I’m kind of tired. You guys go ahead.”

 

TaeYong “Oh right, is that chick alive? The one that ed up your arm?”

 

SangHyuk “Do you THINK she’ll be alive? He probably buried her a long time ago.”

 

SungJae “It wasn’t her fault.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae gets into his car+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeYong “OKAY… awkward. Well see you guys later then?”

 

SangHyuk “Yeah, see you.”
