On the floor, the glass debris has been cleaned up. A carpet over Yoon-Hee's blood.
Din-Dunn, Doorbell ringing.

-

... !! (goes out of the room)

At the open front door, a young, unshaven, unkempt guy.
SON JUN-GI, IT expert, black rock band t-shirt, backpack.
Mi-Ra goes toward the living room, he follows her.

-

It's really cool to welcome me in your home, Noona... ... Even if it's in the middle of the night.

-

(turns around, stern) The door!!!

-

Oh. (turns around and closes the front door)

They come from the entrance.

-

(looks at horror movie posters, creepy antiques) Wow, there's a ing atmosphere in your place, I love the decor.

-

(cold) Hurry, this way. (goes to the workshop)

Mi-Ra, already annoyed by this fan though faithful, but so talkative unnecessarily.

They enter.

-

Far be it from me to criticize your superb work, but your last episode was a bit weird...

-

Jun-Gi, a bastard hacked my tablet! (points to Yoon-hee's tablet)

(looks at the tablet, impressed)

-

That bastard published the last episode of "Queen of Darkness" against my will. Then he harassed me, communicating through the tablet.

-

I have to find this son of a !

-

Great author Moon, I'm exactly the guy to get you out of this mess.

-

Is it possible?

-

Nobody can beat... "The Prince of Darkness"!

-

... ?!

-

(points) The tablet is connected to the computer, that's how it was hacked.

-

(takes the cable and shows him) The cable was disconnected.

-

(?!) ... Ah, these things automatically reconnect via Bluetooth or Wifi.

-

... (reassured)

-

A gifted pirate erases his traces, but I know the protocols thoroughly. I guarantee you that it's impossible to erase everything.

-

... That will give me his identity ? Where he lives?

-

In the end, yes!

-

(excited) I will find indelible information, in the system logs and the registry. If necessary, I will make physical backups of the hard-drive or flash memory.

-

... ??

-

To track his IP, it will be more complicated if he went through proxies, but I have backdoors on the best proxies. Not to mention the traces on the cloud at--

-

(exasperated) I don't understand your technical jargon!

-

If you can do it, do it. It's very important!

Son Jun-Gi takes a high-end laptop out of his bag, puts it on the table, turns it on.
He takes two cables out of his bag, plugs them into his laptop.
He connects one to the tablet, the other to Yoon-Hee's computer.

-

(cracks his fingers) Here we go!

Outside view, the garden, a faint light in the living room windows.
~Ron-Rrrrr Ron-Rrrr, someone is snoring.

Ron-Rrrrr Ron-Rrrr, Do-Yoon is sleeping on a chair...
... next to the tablet of "Butterfly Girl".
On it, the new picture with "TO BE CONTINUED":
Ren-Bo cries with sweet emotion, her hand resting on Soo-Bong's cheek.

Ren-Bo dissolves from "image" to "real".
Sitting on the bed, Soo-Bong holds her second hand. They smile at each other and...
Soo-Bong sees "TO BE CONTINUED" appearing above reality.
Ren-Bo sees Soo-Bong blinking in lines and then, FZZT!, disappearing.

-

(!!) No! Not already!! (sad, worried)

SLAM!!!, Soo-Bong comes out of the bathroom...

-

!!

-

!!

-

(looks around) It's not the end of eternity?! (sees them, cries with joy) .....

Ren-Bo reaches out, as if to catch a ghost.

-

(crying, desperate) Soo-Bong!!! Come back, come back!!!

-

(mad with joy) Soo-Bong!!! What the--

-

(overwhelmed) I won't leave her in this nightmare world, I'll--

KFFR, Soo-Bong is crossed by colorful interference.

-

Soo-Bong! What--

FZZT!, Soo-Bong disappears!!!

KZZT!, Soo-Bong materializes.
Ren-Bo throws herself into his arms, holding tightly to him.
She cries and it's an endless hug...
... until she falls asleep, exhausted.

Soo-Bong lies her down in the bed. Gently, he covers her with a blanket.
Then he goes to look at the window, knowing what will happen.

:

Today, I will reveal the truth to Ren-Bo.

Time speeds up... The trees are shivering.

~

Then she can leave this nightmare world.

The starry vault sweeps the sky, the moon swoops in a split second.

~

But I must find a way to convince her... ... of something impossible to believe!

From the window, Soo-Bong sees the sun rising quickly and...

... The time returns to normal speed.

-

... !!! (sudden revelation)

Ren-Bo opens the bathroom door, when...

-

Hiiiiiiiiii! (sees Soo-Bong sitting on the toilet, pants down)

-

... !!!!! (startled, the manhwa he's holding jumps out of his hands.)

:

(looks at Ren-Bo in her bed) Hurry!!! Before she wakes up!

Soo-Bong rushes to the bathroom.

Soo-Bong closes the door, he goes behind the toilet seat and...
... the manhwa "Butterfly Girl" volume 6 is on the floor!!!

:

(!!) ... Now whatever happens, I will convince her!!! (takes the manhwa and wedges it in his pants, behind his back)

Knock-knock-knock, knocks on the door.

~

Soo-Bong? Are you pooping?

-

Uuuuh... Yes, my angel.

~

Okay, I'll avoid to enter . PfwIh Ih Ih Ih!

(smiles, "my girlfriend is so funny and lighthearted")

:

(serious) I have to gently prepare her for the reveal.

:

Otherwise she might send me back to the real world by accident.

A view of the splendid garden full of flowers.

~

... then, I was dead, due to bullets turning into a mummy, then, transported by helicopter, then, about to be hung on a wall, then, you saved me by going through the wall, then, the villain was eaten by his collection of insects, then, you de-momified me with a special gas, and finally resurrected...

-

... And here we are!

-

Uh... Yes.

-

Doesn't this look a little too much like a manhwa, all this...?! (yellow wings)

-

Exactly!! Think about it! It could actually be a manhwa... for real!!

-

Pwah ah ah! I'm pulling your leg...

-

You tell it so well. It's way too realistic to be a manhwa!

-

...

-

Beeeeh... Don't make that sad dog face! (pinches his cheek)

-

Well, take a good look! (takes out his electronic stylus and turns it on)

-

(draws lines in the air) I can make objects real!

The lines turn into a gas cylinder.

-

That's it, this gas can cancel a mummification, that's how I saved you!

-

What happens if we use it again?

-

Oh no, it is better not to try! (draws lines on the bottle and makes it disappear)

-

(disappointed) Pfff... I would have liked to see...

-

Don't you find it... extraordinary? And only possible in a--

-

Oh yes, your magic skills have improved a lot!

-

... ("curse!", puts his hand on the manhwa hidden in his back)

-

How did you get into the bad guy's building?

-

(hopeful) Very good question! (removes his hand from his back)

-

Tell me a place you'd like to go.

-

I'd like to... walk through the butterfly garden!

:

A place I've often drawn in the manhwa.

-

Easy!

He draws lines on the wall, a door.

(looks at her proudly, hoping...)

-

(looks suspiciously at the black lines) I hope it's not indelible, so I can clean it up afterwards.

-

... !!

-

Oh!

The lines turn into a real door, wide open!
On the other side, there's a fountain, flower beds and butterflies flying around.

-

So, isn't this something you could only see... in a manhwa?!

-

Oh no no no. Your pencil could be used to draw manhwa, that's true, but if you had paper to draw on.

-

(let's accept the failure) Hummm... Let's just go for a walk. (holding out his hand)

(smiling, takes his hand)

He takes her through the door on the wall...

They are walking around.

-

... Ren-Bo, are you happy in this world?

-

I like my house, and my studies. (disappointment) But otherwise.....

-

Here, everyone wants to hurt you. Like that company president who shot you.

-

(sighs heavily) It's true that I don't have an easy life...

-

I had accepted all this misfortune, and even felt responsible for it. And then, in the last few days, I've changed.

-

(looking deeply at him) I think it's because of you... (tears welling up in her eyes)

-

... (embraces Ren-Bo's shoulder, caresses her affectionately)

-

Thank you, Oppa... (wings turning pink and white)

-

... What if you could go live somewhere else?

-

But where? The few times I've traveled, it hasn't been better.

-

What if it was a totally different world? ... Like another dimension?

-

Not a perfect world, and as colorful as this one. But where you can live in peace, without an army of enemies.

-

Could I take Fairy Spark there, and continue gardening?

-

Sure.

-

With a nice house?

-

Maybe not as nice as yours. But with my Hyung's help, we could find one that you like.

-

So... why not?

-

...

-

(sadly) Yes, I would certainly like that.

-

...

-

(sighs) What's the use of dreaming...

They sit on a bench.

-

... Ren-Bo, if you lived in a manhwa, would you find it strange?

-

Not so much.

-

... ?!

-

Aaaah yes... (sigh) I have a sadder and more eventful life than manhwa characters.

-

Really? I mean... could you believe it?

-

You know Soo-Bong, I like you (blushes, wings turning pink)

-

I mean, I like you a lot. (in a low voice) ... really a lot.

-

... (moved, in love)

-

There's something strange about you. You have this... off-beat way of knowing more, and I don't know how.

-

I'm dying to tell you everything. But I'm afraid you'll think I'm crazy.

Ren-Bo extends an arm, and a butterfly lands on it.

-

What does it matter?

-

... ??!

-

Even if you are taken for a fool... ... it won't stop me from loving you.

-

So here is the truth... I don't come from the same world as you.

-

... (nothing extraordinary)

-

I don't mean from a different social world. I mean... It's not pictured.

-

... mmh-mh?

-

I really am from a parallel world.

-

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

-

Ridiculous?! ... It's ridiculous to say it's ridiculous!

-

... !

-

Hey, I believe in other dimensions. In fairies. ... And ghosts too. Brrr!

-

(holding up a finger to the sky) And what else?

-

... !

-

To time travel, Atlantis, reincarnation, astrology, aliens, superheroes, prophecies, lizard men, enchanted flutes.

-

... !!!

-

Ah! ... And also telepathy.

-

... ?!

-

(smiling) Do you want to try? (wings turning yellow and pink)

-

Uh... try... ?

-

Telepathy.

-

...

-

Come here.

She sticks her forehead to Soo-Bong's.

-

Close your eyes, and think very hard about something you wish.

Both of them, eyes closed.
Bo-Boom Bo-Boom, Soo-Bong's heart beats very hard.

-

I know what you're thinking...

She lifts her forehead from his, her chest heavy, smiling with difficulty.
They look at each other, with emotion. They know that the time has come...
... by mutual agreement... naturally... with closed eyes...

They kiss!!!

Her pink wings are covered with bright white streaks.
Attracted by the light, dozens of butterflies land on them.
After this happy minute, they spread their faces, looking at each other with tenderness.
The butterflies on them fly away.

SHHHRANG! The unearthly sound of a-- TIME STOP!!!
The butterflies come to a standstill in mid-air, the rest of the world too.
Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong, ... !! Slowly, they turn their heads to look around.

-

... !! (knows, but surprising anyway)

-

... ??! (weird, but not scary)

Dressed in a black bathrobe, Kang Chul enters while brushing his teeth.

-

(amazement) ... !! (takes the toothbrush out of his mouth)

Next to Do-Yoon asleep on a chair, the tablet of "Butterfly Girl"...
... blocked on a bright white screen!!!

Ren-Bo approaches butterflies frozen in time.
With curiosity, she the wing of a butterfly with her finger.

~

Right after the kiss, she had thought of this...

Kang Chul touches the white screen, nothing happens.

-

(shouts to the bedroom) Sweetheart, come and see this!

-

... !!! (wakes up with a jolt)

Kang Chul spits his toothpaste into a planter near the table.

-

(enters in bathrobe) Such manners!

-

(sees the tablet) Oh!

-

(looks at the tablet, surprised) ... !!!! ("the first thing I see when I wake up is something crazy again!")

Ren-Bo looks around, trees no longer shaking, a bird immobilized in flight.

-

Why is everything frozen?

-

It's perfectly normal! It's because you understood that you are a manhwa character.

-

(??!) ... Something so insignificant makes the whole world freeze?!

-

... !!

-

How will people manage to brush their teeth?!

-

... Uh... Later, we'll have a way to fix that.

-

Ah! ... But... What do we do in the meantime?

-

Just be patient. Something should happen, very soon...

-

This white screen explains everything!

-

?!!!

-

Soo-Bong has convinced her that she lives in a manhwa.

-

The world of "Butterfly Girl" has stopped.

-

And Ren-Bo's portal of truth will open!

-

.... ("a madhouse")

-

(problematic) With her wings, it will be difficult to manage her presence in the real world...

-

A girl with butterfly wings is coming here?!

ZzzLIiinnng... With a flickering noise, a large dimensional portal appears.
Its substance is a mixture of translucent ink and quantum fluctuations.

-

Wow!

-

... (proud to have guessed)

-

So... you come from outside the manhwa, from the other side?!

-

(nods several times) Yes. The real world! I'm a real person!! ... mmh, half now.

-

(laughs) PfwAh Ah! You don't look like it!

On the tablet, the white screen is replaced by a picture:
Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong kissing under the garden archway, butterflies resting on them. "TO BE CONTINUED".

-

The manhwa resumes... That means they've passed through the gate.

-

In theory, the world of "Butterfly Girl" will remain frozen.

~

... Yes, the manhwa will show Ren-Bo in the real world now.

-

(looks around) They went through the portal to come here?

Yeon-Joo, !!!, Kang Chul, !!!, look at each other, amazed and worried.

-

(?!!) ... Another thing that doesn't work in the "ordinary" way??!

-

They should have appeared--

-

Right here, next to the tablet!!!

-

(!!!) .....

-

(distressed, eyes wandering) What's wrong now...?!

A troop of shadow killers comes out of the forest...
... heading towards the entrance of a cave.

Wang Shin, on adrenaline, takes shelter behind a rock, bow in hand.
He sees ten shadow killers, at the edge of the forest, below.
Behind them, the masked killer and the black silhouette of the Queen of Darkness.
Three killers are climbing the slope toward the cave.

TZAK! Wang Shin shoots an arrow at one of them.
FTAP! The killer is hit in the heart. FFUUUF! He dies and vanishes in a dark cloud.
Wang Shin reloads a second arrow and, TZAK!, shoots another killer.
FTAP! Hit in the leg, the killer falls.
TZAK!, Wang Shin shoots another arrow to finish him off. FTAP!, FFUUUF! The killer disappears.
The third killer has time to get to safety.

-

Two down. At least that...

The Queen of Darkness makes a series of graceful gestures. The killers understand!
TZAK! TZAK! TZAK!, Several shoot their bows at the cave. Covering fire!
FTAK! FTAK!, The arrows hit the rock. Wang Shin has to retreat into the cave.

The killers approach the cave, steadily taking cover.
The Queen of Darkness turns to her right-hand man and points to the cave.
Despite his frightening mask, the supernatural killer seems to smile with cruel pride.

Eight shadow killers and the masked killer appear at the entrance, in front of the blue of the night.
They light torches, illuminating Wang Shin in the center of the cave.

-

(voice from beyond the grave) Wang Shin, I will have the honor of slaying you for my sublime queen of the night, saving her from getting her hand dirty with your rotten blood.

-

... (Zink Zink, draws two daggers)

TZinK TZink TZink..., The killers draw their swords and deploy.

-

... (grits his teeth, watches the killers surround him)

The masked killer goes in front of Wang Shin.

-

You have no chance to survive this time!

-

... (sweat on his temple, adjusting his daggers, one eye everywhere)

The killers circle around Wang Shin. A sword in one hand, a torch in the other.

-

Princess Dong!

In the shadows at the back of the cave...
Click, Yoon-Hee lights a lighter, illuminating her determined but worried face.

-

(lively, clear) They'll come here, and you can't fight them all!

-

... !! ...

(quickly, digs into Wang Shin's bag)

-

(?!) I have no more rifle or sword. Lost on the cliff, when they knocked me out.

-

(takes a bowl out of the bag) But what if you had to fight them one by one?

-

I have my bow.

-

No, hand-to-hand. (draws a knife from his belt)

-

(?!!, "she draws one of my knives?!!") It will be difficult, but I will do it.

-

I will give you this opportunity. (goes to a cave wall)

Yoon-Hee scrapes a wall with the knife and collects yellowish dust in the bowl.

-

Your cartridges, your stick of dynamite! Put all the powder in a cloth.

-

All the powder I have? (takes out his ammunition and a cloth)

-

Save a few rounds of revolver ammunition. (continues to scrape the wall)

-

What is your plan? (empties the powder from the dynamite and rifle bullets into the cloth)

-

A mixture of powder overdosed with saltpeter. Instead of exploding, it creates a powerful smoke.

Yoon-Hee pours the ammunition powder into the bowl of saltpeter. Dose precisely. Mix.

-

Find three holes spaced in the ground. Put wicks in them going to the back of the cave.

-

(puts down the wicks) I'll draw them here from outside.

-

(pours smoke powder into the holes) At this point, I will light the wicks.

-

Then it's up to you.

A killer appears in front of Wang Shin, facing the wrong direction.
Wang Shin stabs him in the throat.
With the same hand, he drops his knife and grabs the killer's sword.
Then the killer vanishes, joining the smoke. One.

On the floor, Yoon-Hee shakes frantically, suffering from an epileptic seizure.

-

!!X!XXX!!!X!!!

-

!!X!XXX!!!X!!! (epileptic fit)

The epileptic seizure stops. Yoon-Hee suddenly stands up, disoriented, temporary loss of identity.

-

... !! (surprised by her quick recovery)

Wang Shin and the masked killer emerge from the smoke, fighting with swords.
Wang Shin retreats into a difficult situation, with only one sword in hand.
The powerful masked killer strikes and as Wang Shin parries--
SKLANG!!! The blow is too strong and Wang Shin drops his weapon.
KBAM!!! The masked killer kicks Wang Shin in the abdomen--
He falls backwards. The killer comes on top of him.

-

You were no match for me, Wang Shin! (brandishes his sword, for the fatal blow)

-

... !! ("death is coming!")

POW! A shot from a revolver. SPAT! Bullet impact in the chest of the masked killer.
Pushed back by the impact, he can't strike his sword. A few meters away...
... Yoon-Hee holds the smoking revolver, trembling, with her uninjured arm.

Wang Shin takes out his revolver and hands it to Yoon-Hee.

-

Take this. Loaded with six bullets.

-

... (takes the gun)

-

If things go wrong, kill five. ... And keep the last bullet for yourself.

-

... (anguish)

-

Unless there are six of course. (smiles)

-

... (worried but smiles)

Wang Shin takes his bow and goes to the cave entrance.

The masked killer staggers, his hand on his chest wound.
Wang Shin picks up his sword and rushes to cut him in half, but--
Swonpf! The masked killer disappears in a puff of darkness.
SBLANG! A rifle and a sword fall to the ground from where he was.

-

... ?! (difficult to evaluate after having vanished 8 killers) He disappeared because he is dead or... ?

-

No, he can teleport over short distances.

-

The coward!

-

He's severely injured, we won't see him for a while.

-

Oh! (sees his rifle and sword on the ground) ... When he does that, he can't carry things that don't belong to him.

-

You fought them all?

-

I killed eight in the smoke and two outside. Yes! (picks up his rifle and sword)

-

(delighted) So.... we are saved!!!

-

(relieved) Waaaaa...

-

Catch this. (throws the shadow killer's sword at her)

-

(panicking) ~~Bahaha. (fails to catch, KLING!, the sword falls)

-

Princess Dong, this is not the time for antics.

-

The Queen of Darkness is outside, let's go fight her.

-

... !!! (joy cooled in a flash)

Wang Shin walks with a determined step to the cave's exit.
Yoon-Hee trots behind him, more and more frightened, more and more pleading.

-

(whines) Not now! When we're out of danger...

-

Out of nothing at all. I bet she's waiting for us outside!

-

(groans) No... No... Why do you want to do that...

-

All her troops have been decimated. She's alone, there's no better opportunity!

-

We can't defeat her, it's impossible!

-

Princess Dong, you've just shown great courage. And now you're bleating like a goat at its first feeding.

-

(face twisted with fear and pleading) She is the main character, she is immortal!

-

You mean... the main villain! Dead soon, from my hands.

-

(crying) Boo hoo hoo... (screams in despair) This is madness, we're going to die!

-

Stay in the cave wetting your dress. I don't need you and your whining.

-

... !!!

-

... she likes to play with you, like a cat plays with a mouse.

-

Die!

-

Although last time, you were indeed good for the scrap yard...

-

You'll see what I do with your hero, Soo-Bong!

-

... there's a basic rule.

-

... the project is he dies quickly and without burr.

-

"All heroes end up being killed by the Queen of Darkness".

-

(breathless) I hate you... (eyes glowing with madness)

-

(mad with fear, following him) You don't understand! She is ALLOWED to kill!! This time it's NO LONGER A GAME!!! She REALLY WANTS to kill us !!!!

-

... (a face like "the moment I've been waiting since forever")

Wang Shin and Yoon-Hee come out of the cave.
Yoon-Hee hides behind him trembling, hardly daring to look...
... Further down at the entrance of the forest... The Queen of Darkness !

-

Queen of Darkness, tonight one of us will die...

-

(sepulchral voice) And it will be you Wang Shin.

-

(weeping in despair) boo-hoo ... no ... no ...

-

We'll check it out right away, Queen of Darkness... ... or should I say ... Cha Yu-Sun?

-

So, the obese princess revealed the truth to you. It's true, I played you.

-

Enough talk!

Wang Shin grabs his rifle, and the abdomen of the Queen of Darkness glows red.
Yoon-Hee is terrified, her worst nightmare in this world is coming now!

SLOW MOTION:
Wang Shin raises his rifle, his gesture assured.
SPROTCH! The shadow arm springs from the Queen of Darkness' belly.
Wang Shin takes aim, in shooting position.
SLASHHH! The shadow arm, elastic, stretches at the speed of thought.
Wang Shin's finger on the trigger, pulling it.
The shadow hand snatches the rifle from Wang Shin's hands.

BANG! The rifle shot goes skyward.
The shadow hand throws the rifle out of range.

-

... !! (doubts briefly, but does not accept doubt)

ZzzingT! Wang Shin draws his sword and charges the Queen of Darkness.
Yoon-Hee, ... !!, horrified, desperate, she sees...
The shadow arm rises up in front of the full moon, like a cobra ready to strike.
Yoon-hee, ... !!!, trembles, eyes bulging, mad with terror.
Wang Shin is beyond courage, a reckless fool ready to die.
She knows that the shadow arm will impale Wang Shin first!

-

(mad scream, pure terror) RAAAAAAAAAH !!!!! (brandishes the revolver and--)

POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! click! click!, She fires the magazine angrily, for God's sake.

SLOW MOTION:
Wang Shin sprints toward his fate, his sword sweeping through the tall grass...
Fingers forming a point, the shadow hand rushes towards Wang Shin.

-

... ?! (forgot about Princess Dong, not a credible opponent)

szsss... Bullets pass Wang Shin, in front and behind him.

-

... !!! (danger!! more bright smoke in the eyes)

The shadow hand stops aiming at Wang Shin and opens.
Ping...! A giant finger strikes a bullet, ejected elsewhere.
Ping...! Another finger diverts the trajectory of another bullet, Ping...! yet another one.
szsss... A bullet misses the Queen of Darkness...
ShoooTs..., A bullet pierces the Queen of Darkness' chest.
A spray of shadow dust splashes out instead of blood.
Wang Shin reaches the Queen of Darkness, shhh... purposefully skids...

-

!!! (levitates backwards, to avoid being cut in two)

Woshhh!, Wang Shin strikes with a large circular blow in the lower abdomen.
Instead of blood, a spray of shadow dust sprang from her wounded belly.

Severely wounded, the Queen of Darkness retreats to the forest, levitating.
Like a spectral spider, she returns to the darkness, accepting her defeat.

Yoon-Hee, ... with a smoking revolver in her hand, traumatized, stunned.
Wang Shin, ... puts away his sword, looks at the forest.

(gasps, incredulous, regains her sanity)

-

(disappointed but satisfied) That moment hasn't come yet...

(suddenly furious, goes to pick up Wang Shin's rifle)

-

I guess I should thank you, (turns to Yoon-Hee) Princess D--

Yoon-Hee throws the rifle to him. SBING!, it hits his chest, too surprised to catch it.

-

(angry) We're leaving!! We're leaving right now!!!

Wang Shin picks up his rifle.

-

She has healing powers!! We can't wait for her to come back!!

-

... ("she is pretty angry")

-

GOT IT WANG SHIN?!!!!

-

... !!!

Yoon-Hee walks on the path without waiting for him.

-

While you're at it, give me my revolver back too.

-

ahAaaa.... ("don't ask me anything more or I'll explode")

-

(turns around) You really want it??!

-

... ?!

-

(slips the gun into her cleavage) Come and get it!

-

Come on, you know I can't do that.

-

Give me your remaining bullets instead!!!

-

... !

-

And the next time you drive me crazy like this... (screams) It's you I'm shooting at!!

-

... (amused, smiles) ...

She resumes her walk, seeming to know where she goes.

-

Where are you going?

-

(firm) To a village. Not yours! (points to her shoulder) Just until that damn shoulder heals.

-

... Mmh-mh, maybe I could stock up on ammo there?!

-

(beats hand, obvious) Of course, I didn't pick it at random! And then we'll go to the palace!!!

-

(nods respectfully, amused) Well... Well... (walks with her)

Hollow tower shape, with a large space in the middle. (Same as Episode 02)
Few customers at this early hour.
A dimensional distortion in space... Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong appear...
... at the fifth floor, in the void!! A fatal fall!

-

(fright) AHHH!! (falls)

FLAP-FLAP-FLAP!!! Ren-Bo embraces him, flapping her wings. He embraces her too!
She flies to the first floor, landing in front of two stunned customers.
With an embarrassed smile, Soo-Bong waves at them friendly, like "all is fine, it's normal".
Customers stunned in disbelief watch them pass by with big eyes.

-

What the hell are these dimensional portals that send you anywhere?!

-

(suspiciously, seeing the customers) I feel like people are looking at me oddly, here too.

-

It's okay, they're just not used to the supernatural.

-

Ah! So we have to do something to be natural.

-

Uh, a coat, a bag, an umbrella? Would your wings fit in that?

-

No, just... Hold my hand... (smiling)

Smiling, holding hands, they happily prance towards the exit.

-

Isn't it a bit dangerous, your portal in the void? How do you land when I'm not here?

-

I don't usually use this kind of portal. It's only for... for important people!

-

Aaaah... Important people. (proud) Hi hi!

-

(thoughtful) Otherwise, it's not normal to arrive here. There's a bug in the air.

-

(credible hypothesis, nods) We were on a hill before, it's a question of altitude.

-

Hmmm... (no idea) maybe.

Walking past the mall, hurried and annoyed...
Professor Park Min-Soo, holding a computer screen box under his arm.

-

(lost in his monologue, looking at the floor) He could have lent me a damn screen until the end of the week.

-

I have better to do than hang around here in the morning. All because of that damn "King of Darkness"!

Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong walk by looking at each other, about to collide with Professor Park--

-

(sees him at the last moment) Ah!!! (stops)

-

Oh!!! (stops, SPOF!, drops his box)

-

!! (stops)

-

(looks worriedly at his box on the ground, then Soo-Bong) The mad dog!!!

-

(looks suspiciously at Professor Park) You know him? His face rings a bell...

-

Aha, Professor Park. You seem to be in a good mood today.

-

(excited, big eyes) ...

-

(smiling awkwardly) Let me pass on greetings from Oh Yeon-Joo.

-

(emptying his resentment) Are you referring to the interbreeding of idiot and septic tank that was polluting my student row? (calming down)

-

... (hard to hear, but since it helps him calm down...)

-

(puzzled) But... who is she? (points to Ren-Bo)

-

That's my girlfriend, she's a cosplayer.

(smiles, plays the coquette, makes an Aegyo and moves her wings)

-

You show off like that in public?!

-

Aren't you ashamed to show everyone that you love such a silly manhwa?

(wings turning red, quick anger)

FLIP! FLAP! She flies in front of Professor Park, towering over him by a head.

-

!!!!

-

(dismayed) This is a very realistic cosplay, there are motors in the back!

-

(continues to fly) You apologize, bad mister?

-

(back up, scared) Let me go, let me go!

Ren-Bo stops flying and falls on the cardboard box. CRUNSH!, sound of a screen breaking.

-

(looks at her feet) Ooops!

-

(looks at the box, then at Soo-Bong, points an angry finger) You! You'll pay! I'll send you the bill!

-

Of course, Professor Park! Have a nice day, Professor.

(punches his fist in the air, then walks away in anger)

-

Hi hi, this is the first time I've scared someone.

-

He's not bad, he barks a lot but doesn't bite.

-

Oh! He just reminded me! I have to call Noona. (takes out his smartphone)

Yeon-Joo's smartphone rings, the screen reads "Soo-Bong".

-

It's Soo-Bong!!!

She picks up the phone and puts it on speaker.

-

Soo-Bong!

-

Hi Noona, are you okay?

-

(reaches for the smartphone) Hello people!

-

Where did you get to? We were worried sick!

-

Ah! What a journey! We found ourselves in the open air, in a shopping mall!

-

What? And everybody saw you?

-

We didn't really have a choice!

-

But it's all right, I flew to catch up with Oppa!!

-

(!!) Damn it, try to be discreet!

-

(to Soo-Bong, but everyone hears) He doesn't look comfortable, that one...

-

Where? We're coming to get you.

Kang Chul slips down the banner from the 5th floor.

~

At the mall where Hyung did a stunt. ... The time he didn't try to be discreet!

-

PfwHi hi hi!

-

(gibbering, dumbfounded) And they're laughing...

-

Okay, stay where you are.

-

Kiss! (before Soo-Bong hangs up)

Soo-Bong and Ren-Bo are sitting on a bench in an alley across from the mall.

-

How do I get back to where I came from? ... (flaps hand) No, forget it. I don't want to.

-

It would be helpful if you could do it, just once. It would unlock time in your world.

-

... ?!

Bucolic landscape. Undulating. Peaceful. Meadows. High grass.
Seen from afar, Wang Shin and Yoon-Hee are walking along a path, talking.

-

(surprised) Princess Dong, really? ... Oooh, Princess Dong!

-

(circumspect) Princess Dong, about your hair...

-

... (sullen mood)

-

Princess Dong? Are you listening to me, Princess Dong?

-

Princess Dong, Princess Dong, let me think for two minutes...

-

(thoughtful) ... Something is bothering me, Princess Dong.

-

(zany) ~~Princess ~"Dong!!"~... ~Dong! Dong! Dong!... ~Ding-Dong!! (fed up) You are like a bell ringing in my ears all the time!!!

-

aAah.

-

(mocking) Gooo ahead, elaborate on the subject of your "little" bother...

-

The fact that Lady Cha is the Queen of Darkness.

-

She confirmed it to you herself.

-

I still had some hope that this was one of your ramblings.

-

... ! (gives him an angry glare)

-

Overnight, the woman I love becomes the woman I hate...

-

She loved you. For a while.

-

So what happened to her? She was possessed by a spirit, and became the Queen of Darkness?

-

No, she was always the one and only Queen of Darkness.

-

But that's nonsense!

-

(jaded) ... aaaand yes...

-

So you're saying we loved each other... while fighting? That she knew everything, while I--

-

That explains why you survived so long. But you have to understand that she drew a cross on you.

-

Since when?

-

One year. Mmmh, in manhwa time, it should be three months.

-

Manhwa?

Mi-Ra clicks to load an image: Wang Shin injured by a sword.

-

Magnify the scream of pain (shows with a finger movement)

-

(sadistically) And adds more blood to his wound.

-

During this time, she didn't know what to do with you. (waves hand) ... a psycho stuff, hating you but unable to forget you...

-

It's true that since three months, I've had a bit of jinx...

-

(nods) That had a lot of fun making you suffer. However, she finally made her definitive choice...

-

Aaah... Our last kiss was last week... And she seemed so sensitive...

-

On a vignette, it's easy to be a good actress.

-

Vignette? Princess Dong, your scientific jargon, we don't understand anything.

-

Remember your discussions with Cha Yu-Sun. Don't you think it all sounded fake?

-

I beg you, Wang Shin, don't go, you're in no condition.

-

If anything happened to you, I would die without even killing myself.

-

(dismissive) Dull, artificial lines. Utterly cliché. (to herself) Tsss, she doesn't bother with writing.

-

(offended) That's how you see my love story?! Thank you!!

-

(sighs) ... yeah... well... your ex-love story...

-

(frowns) Mmmh... It makes me realize something... ... About you...

-

... ?!

-

You tend to exasperate me regularly, but I feel in tune with you.

-

Still, one wonders, who - exasperates - who...

-

I'm serious, there's something mysterious about you that I like.

He looks at her... eye contact... Yoon-Hee quickly turns upside down...

-

... uuhh... (suddenly hot, flaps her hand like a fan)

-

How can I feel closer to you, when I have known Lady Cha for years?

-

... !! (BoBoom, a soft blow to the heart)

-

And you not more than a dozen hours?

-

(eyes sparkling) ~You know, ~from my side, I should know you by heart~. ~~And yet, ~you have a...

-

I-don't-know-what that remains unknown to me, unattainable~... ... and irresistible. (bites her lower lip)

-

It's normal, I think it's all explained.

-

Now we're allied to fight the Dark Guild. That's why!

-

Forget those reasons straight out of an adventure novel!

-

(hope) ~It's got to be something else... (bats her eyelashes)

-

You're right! I know now!

-

Ah!!

-

That's because you're rude, crazy and without manners. With you, it feels like going home, and taking off our shoes.

Disappointed, PAF!, Yoon-Hee punches Wang Shin in the shoulder.

-

Yah! Be careful! You hit like a charioteer, dammit. (rubs his shoulder)

-

Yeah, I have three brothers.

-

What? The King has a hidden son?

(gives him a jaded look)

-

Since you're speaking colloquially, know that my real name is Dong Yoon-Hee, and that protocol allows you to call me "Princess Yoon-Hee" for lack of anything better!

-

Thank you!!!!

-

Well, well, all right...

-

(amused, smiling) Princess Yoon-Hee!

Several empty soda cans on the computer table.
Son Jun-Gi, dark circles under his eyes, annoyed.
He looks at his computer code while nodding.

Mi-Ra checks Yoon-Hee's condition. Motionless. The zombie seems to be in good health...

Mi-Ra enters, and sees Son Jun-Gi unplugging his equipment.

-

So?

-

(embarrassed) There are no logs, even in the system files. Things that can't be hacked, under administrator control.

-

(trying to understand) ... Does that mean... it's been deleted?

-

There's not even a trace of files being deleted.

-

... (lost, eyes pleading)

-

(looks at her with pity) There are the sentences you typed on the keyboard. ... Sentences you typed... alone.

-

(her hand in her hair, dismayed, mumbles) It is as impossible as the rest...

-

Noona, I have the feeling that you had a bad trip. Weed not fresh?

-

... (goes to the window, sobs)

-

Noona, maybe you could use some company. ... If you like, I can ...

-

(cold, without turning around) Get out.

-

You look so lonely.

-

(turns around angrily, screams) off!!!

-

!!! (sees Mi-Ra's dark and crazy eyes)

Frightened, Son Jun-Gi takes his gear and leaves.

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo arrive in a sports car near the mall.
Kang Chul parks the car in a fee parking lot.

-

(digs into her bag) I should have a parking pass.

-

... ?!! (feels something abnormal)

-

(takes out a flat black object) ... What is it?!

-

(looks) A radio transmitter?!

-

(picks up the transmitter, sees the button on off) It's turned off?!

-

... ?

-

We'll see later.

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo walk down the alley and see...
Soo-Bong, kneeling on the ground, alone.

-

Mmh? (looks around) Where is Ren-Bo?

Once they get close to Soo-Bong, they see that he's crying hard!

-

Soo-Bong, what's wrong?

-

Everything was going so well... Boo hoo. We were so happy... boo-hoo hoo.

-

Ren-Bo, where is she?

-

She's gone!

-

!!

-

!!

-

Gone... How?!

-

She went back to her world or is it more serious?!

-

It's much more serious!!!

-

She was transparent, with black outlines?

-

She was... annihilated?!

-

Boo hoo hoo....

Mi-Ra's fancy building, her apartment on the 3rd floor.

~

(crying) Boo hoo hoo...

Mi-Ra cries for a long time... alone in the world.
SUDDENLY--
An intense stream of yellow light comes out of Yoon-Hee's tablet.
Mi-Ra turns her head to avoid being blinded.

As the light gradually fades... She looks at the tablet...
... feels a deep fear, hidden in her gut, a supernatural chill.
She has only two alternatives... Either she is crazy... Either...
There is someone, something, here... beyond this world.

The frame and its yellow background take shape. Then the quiet and robotic voice...

-

Moon Mi-Ra.

-

...

-

Are you willing to communicate now?

Mi-Ra sits down in front of the tablet and takes the keyboard. Scared... but she has to know!

~

If you are not a hacker, by what magic trick do you do that?

-

There is no magic trick.

~

Am I the crazy one? I write all alone?

-

Your stories show an unhealthy personality, but not to this extent.

-

... (grimaces in supplication, would have preferred to be crazy)

~

What do you want from me?!

-

A mutual agreement.

-

... ! (sighs heavily, "maybe...")

~

Do you have something to offer me?

-

What you want the most.

-

... !!!

~

How can I make a agreement with someone I don't know and I've never seen?

-

This correspondent is unable to meet you.

-

... ?!

-

But this correspondent accepts to answer your questions.

-

... Ok, clarify his delusions, already...

~

You said you were dead once?

-

That's exact.

-

... Let's see if he really agrees to answer...

~

How did you die?

-

The death of this correspondent was caused by three people.

-

... (heavy breath)

-

Kang Chul, Oh Yeon-Joo, and Oh Sung-Moo.

-

... ??!!! (so unexpected!)

-

You have something to do with "W"?

(the message is erased, the next one does not appear immediately)

-

... (fascinated, in suspense)

-

This correspondent knows everything about the real story of "W".

-

.......!!!
