TaeYong “s, stop what…??”

 

SungJae “Giving a d*mn. (Looks at NaYeon) they’ll decide for themselves.”

 

TaeYong “I’m doing you a favor, but why you gotta be- (sees something ahead) what the hell is that situation?”

SungAh “Can you please add a hint of soul into that? (Smiles)”

 

TaeYong “What are you talking about~ I’m serious~”

 

SungAh “Haha~”

 

SungJae “(Unpleased expression) what are you doing at my school?”

 

SungAh “I’m here to see if my busy brother can squeeze time to have brunch with his older sister~”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae takes a quick glance at SeolHyun+

+SeolHyun awkwardly smiles at SungJae+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “You sure it’s just the two of us?”

 

SungAh “I just ran into her at school, and it’s not like we don’t KNOW each other or anything, so why not the three of us? (Looking at NaYeon) I mean our families are just SOOOO close~”

 

SungJae “… (Sigh)”

 

TaeYong “Sh*t…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon takes a quick glance at SeolHyun+

+NaYeon looks up at TaeHyung’s face+

+TaeHyung is glaring at SungAh+

+JiMin glares at SungAh+

+TaeHyung, with fear in his eyes, glares at SungAh+

+NaYeon looks at TaeHyung, in surprise+

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why is he shaking so much…?
And why is he looking at Yook SungJae’s sister…

+SungAh looks at NaYeon, who’s looking at TaeHyung in worry+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungAh “And who’s this?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me…???

 

 

 

 

 

 

+Everyone looks at SungAh+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “…why do you care.”

 

SungAh “I want to get to know every one of your friends~ come on, who is she??”

JiSoo “Um… where’s he taking her?? She has class here in a few minutes…”

 

JiMin “…wherever.”

 

JiSoo “Huh??”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae and SungAh watches TaeHyung and NaYeon leave+

+SungAh then turns her head and watches SungJae watch them leave+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungAh “pfft- (looks at TaeYong) I see Kim TaeHyung over there got a new girlfriend?”

 

TaeYong “Tell me about it, that’s the first thing he did as soon as he got here.”

 

SungJae “Who cares. Let’s just go and have brunch or whatever you call that.”

 

SungAh “All of the sudden?”

 

SungJae “I’m hungry.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae walks out of the building, towards the parking lot+

+SungAh chuckles as she watches him leave+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungAh “Let’s go SeolHyun-ah.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungAh links arms with SeolHyun then the two leave together+

+JiMin, JiSoo and TaeYong watches them leave+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeYong “(Watching SungAh) I wonder what MY sister’s doing~ not buying me brunch or anything…”

 

JiSoo “(Looking at JiMin) well we still have a little time before going to class, do you want to grab coffee or anything?”

 

JiMin “…sorry. I think I need to go TaeHyung.”

 

JiSoo “… oh, (smiles awkwardly) alright! I’ll just drink coffee by myself or something… haha… see you in class?”

TaeYong “I have time for coffee.”

##HanGuk University_Park##

+NaYeon and TaeHyung are sitting on a bench+

+NaYeon looks at TaeHyung in worry+

+TaeHyung has his head down and is shaking+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “TaeHyung-ah…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung sits up and looks at NaYeon+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Im NaYeon… (Desperately) do you want to go study overseas? Or… even just a very long vacation…?”

 

NaYeon “…huh?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was he saying…?
Why would I randomly go study overseas…?

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Just for a while… just for a bit… can you just go somewhere… far away…?”

 

NaYeon “Why are you saying that…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung has flashbacks of his sister in the hospital bed, and Cha HaeWon getting carried into the ambulance, severely burned+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “(Getting teary) please… can you please listen to me... please…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon holds TaeHyung by the hands+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “What’s bothering you…? What’s hurting you TaeHyung??”

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to JiSoo,
people with TaeHyung’s condition,
more than anything,
need reassurance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Don’t worry TaeHyung… you’ll always have me. I’ll always be by your side.”

 

TaeHyung “Please… please listen to me…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon puts TaeHyung’s head on her shoulders then softly pats him by the head+

+TaeHyung, resting on NaYeon’s shoulders, slowly closes his eyes+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “(Sigh)”

 

 

 

 

 

 

What could it be…?
Was he very close with Yook SungJae’s
sister as well…?

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon takes a glance at TaeHyung+

+TaeHyung is asleep+

 

 

 

 

 

 

The more I see TaeHyung like this…
I can’t help…
but to get curious about what happened…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##ChungDamDong Fancy Restaurant##

+SungJae, SungAh and SeolHyun are having brunch+

+SungJae thinks of how TaeHyung grabbed NaYeon’s hand and dragged her out+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “…what a joke.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungAh and SeolHyun look at SungJae+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungAh “Pardon?”

 

SungJae “What.”

 

SungAh “Never mind then. How’s school?”

 

SungJae “School’s just school.”

 

SungAh “Thinking of this morning, seems like you made a few friends.”

 

SungJae “They’re not friends, just classmates. And… enemies.”

 

SeolHyun “There’s a rumor that the son of C Group is very kind to befriend the kids in his major~ that’s a good reputation!”

 

SungJae “… (Looks at SeolHyun sourly) why do you care about my reputation?”

 

SeolHyun “…that’s just what they all say.”

 

SungAh “(Smiles) why are you so mean SungJae~ (takes a bite of her dish) so those kids from this morning are ALL in your major?”

 

SungJae “…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae puts his fork down, then looks at SungAh+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Since when did you care about my school life? Do you have something to ask me? (Takes a quick glance at SeolHyun) or have you heard something ridiculous from somewhere?”

 

SungAh “Hmm? Oh it’s not that~ but…”

 

SungJae “But?”

 

SungAh “I’ve just heard some rumors that you always hung out with some girl~ so I just got curious~ if you got a little girlfriend or anything~”

 

SungJae “… (looks at SeolHyun) I’m honestly, just so… sick and tired of all this sh*t.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae gets up from his seat and leaves the room in anger+

+SeolHyun looks at SungAh anxiously+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SeolHyun “What’s he going to think of ME now…”

 

SungAh “(Looks at SeolHyun) don’t worry. He’s just interested in her because of the different lifestyles they have, but… he’ll come back to you. I can promise you that. Shall we finish our dishes? This restaurant is amazing~”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SeolHyun looks at SungAh in confusion+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##SungJae’s Car##

+SungJae is driving furiously+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “(Thinking of SeolHyun) what the hell is wrong with her?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##TaeHyung’s Penthouse_Living Room##

+TaeHyung is sleeping on the sofa+

+JiMin brings dinner on a tray and puts it down onto the coffee table+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “Geez, why’d he buy such an expensive dining table if he was going to eat here all the time.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin slightly shakes TaeHyung+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “Get up.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung rubs his eyes and sits up+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “I swear I fell asleep at the park…”

 

JiMin “I dragged you home.”

 

TaeHyung “Really? Was I really THAT deep asleep?”

 

JiMin “Yeah, let’s eat.”
