Subtitle: One hour before.
An alley lined with trees and plants, on the sidewalk in front of the mall.
Soo-Bong and Ren-Bo are sitting on a bench.

-

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 the time in your world.

-

... ?!

-

Author-Nim?!

-

?!!

Just arrived, the two manhwa-loving high school girls. (the ones from episode 16)

-

(sees Ren-Bo) Wow! Great cosplay!

-

... (smiles, proudly)

-

We saw you on TV, you were awesome!

-

... (smiles modestly)

-

(takes out of her bag "Butterfly Girl" volume 2) Could you sign it for us?

The girl opens the manhwa on a giant drawing filling the double-page:
Screaming and scared Ren-Bo falling from a roof, with a dizzying perspective.

-

Your signature will serve as a talisman to ward off her despair.

-

We really thought you wanted to kill her that time. It's great, I've never seen a heroine get tortured so much.

-

Aah... (signs the page)

-

Thank you, thank you! I was relieved she didn't stay mummified.

-

Thank you! But keep on making her suffer, otherwise it's no fun!

The girls bend down several times to greet and thank, then leave.

-

... ?! (looks at the bench, Ren-Bo is no longer here)

Ren-Bo is standing three meters away, both hands over .
She is wobbly, horrified, petrified, lost, her eyes crazy with despair.

Teenage Ren-Bo, crying, being harassed by high school students.
RAE-NAM, the tall and strong leader, is holding Ren-Bo by the collar.

-

Have you ever seen an insect with wings that can't fly?

Rae-Nam pushes Ren-Bo to the roof edge and holds her down with one hand.

-

She's fooling us with this bunkum.

-

(stares at the void) No... no...

Rae-Nam grabs Ren-Bo by her upper arm, tilting her into the void.

-

!!!! (in terror)

Her feet on the ledge, the rest of her body is over 20 meters high.

-

Oppa, if you drop her, you'll kill her!

-

What's the problem?

-

Especially since she can surely fly!

-

Let's check it out.

Rae-Nam lets go of Ren-Bo's arm...

-

(!!!) AAAAAH!!! (leans more and goes to fall)

... and catches her by the wrist, preventing her from falling.
He grabs her upper arm, ready to start his sadistic game again.

-

This funny face that she makes! (click!, photographies with his smartphone)

-

Ugh, she looks like a mosquito blood.

-

... (mad with fright)

Rae-Nam drops Ren-Bo, ready to catch her by the wrist.

-

(!!!) AAAAAH!!! (leans more and goes to fall)

Zzzzip... Her feet slip off the ledge, she falls sideways.

-

(fails to catch her!) Aish!!!

-

Quick! A photo! (click!, takes picture with his smartphone)

-

(falls off the roof screaming) AAAAAAHHH!!! ("real" dissoves in...)

{MANHWA INSERT, Ep19 - The volume 2 double page.}

... Screaming, frightened Ren-Bo falling from the roof, dizzying perspective.

Ren-Bo suffers an emotional cataclysm.

The high school girl takes out "Butterfly Girl" volume 2 from her bag.
Three names on the cover: Jang Soo-Bin, Oh Yeon-Joo and... PARK SOO-BONG !
The girl opens the manhwa on the double page: The terrifying fall from the roof of Ren-Bo.

-

We really thought you wanted to kill her that time. It's great, I've never seen a heroine being tortured so much.

Appalled, Ren-Bo gets up and moves away from the bench, GOES AWAY FROM SOO-BONG.

-

Thank you! But keep on making her suffer, otherwise it's no fun!

-

(heartbroken) It's... it's you who did this to me, all this time...

-

(mad with grief) You made my life a nightmare.

-

No... no. (the worst unexpected drama...)

-

(horrified) And you trapped me in your net.

-

(disgusted) I even kissed you.

-

(dismayed) I was going to tell you, Ren-Bo. But it wasn't me who--

-

(screaming) You're a hundred times worse than all the scum who persecuted me!

-

(crying in anger) You monster!!! Sadistic filth!!!

-

Let me explain!!!

FLAP-FLAP-FLAP!!! Ren-Bo flies away, as far away as she can.
Soo-Bong, desperate, sees her flying higher and higher, at great speed.
She swirls like a butterfly between the skyscrapers of Seoul, at high altitude.

-

(loses sight of her) NOOOOOO!!!

Soo-Bong falls to his knees, curled up, agitated with spasms of grief.

-

Boo hoo hoo... (the worst crying fit of his life)

Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul, with Soo-Bong on his knees.

-

(crying) She thinks I did all this to her. Anyway, I still let it happen...

-

... (cold anger rising)

-

... (sympathizes, knows this remorse)

-

Soo-Bong, you bring a girl with butterfly wings into the real world.

-

(annoyed) And five minutes later, you lose her in the wild?

-

(angry) And now she's looping between buildings?!

-

(crying) She'll hate me forever... boo-hoo.

-

What would Do-Yoon say if he saw you slacking off like that?

-

... (just shame on top of grief)

-

(firm) Move it! We'll see your heart problem later. We have to find her first!

-

... (ouch, also understand his annoyance)

-

(looks at his watch) Just when I have a scene to shoot. I'm already late!

-

Go ahead, we'll start the search without you.

-

Okay, and don't make it worse... if it can really be made worse. (walks away)

Yeon-Joo helps Soo-Bong sit on the bench.

-

So you didn't have time to explain that you weren't the writer?

-

(groaning) Yes.

-

(to herself, in her writer's dream) Aaah, I would never write that kind of sentimental twist in my scripts.

-

(hears, grimaces, groans) ... wOouh bouh ouh.

-

(idea, raises finger) Wait, Soo-Bong!

-

... ?!

-

(cogitating, moving finger) She is a sentimental manhwa character. And in that kind of manhwa, the situation always works out in the end.

-

(grimaces with sob) But... she said I was worse than all the people who harassed her!

-

No, you misunderstood, because the characters always understand everything wrong in this kind of cliché. It's done on purpose!

-

Boooouh... You are not helping Noona. What you say makes no sense.

-

Ok, then let's go for a walk, it will do you good. Let's go in the direction you saw her leaving. (stands up)

(sad, gets up)

Yeon-Joo takes out her smartphone, and connects to a news website.

-

(nods) This will help us find her if the media talks about her.

-

If that happens, Hyung will hate me too. Boo-hoo...

-

Don't talk nonsense! He loves you like his little brother.

-

(obvious) He has a right to be angry too. He's under a lot of stress as an actor.

-

(a little crazy, nervous) That and... all the crazy situations caused by the manhwa. Ah ah!

Ren-Bo is sitting on the edge of a skyscraper roof.
Her feet hanging in the air, lost, desperate, tears flowing.

-

I was just beginning to see a ray of sunlight.

-

(a sob) And my life falls back into a nightmare.

-

Boo hoo hoo... Boo boo boo boo (endless tears)

-

() Spark, are you here?

... Fairy Spark does not appear.

-

(worried) Has she abandoned me, too?

-

(frightened) Or couldn't she come to this cursed world?

PLUFF! Cloud of light, Fairy Spark appears in the void, in front of her.

-

I'm here, Ren-Bo.

-

... (a little hope in the hopelessness)

-

You're again so sad...

-

(heartbreaking) I feel so alone. More lonely than ever.

-

Lost in this unknown world, as harsh as the one I came from.

-

Why did you argue with Soo-Bong?

-

Argue? (grimace of disgust and anger, "more than arguing")

-

He's the one who orchestrated everything in my horrible life. He's the one who's tortured me since I was born.

-

Are you sure it's really him?

-

Of course, his name was on my manhwa.

-

It's great, I've never seen a heroine get tortured so much.

-

Thank you! But keep making her suffer, otherwise it's no fun!

-

(scornfully) And sadistic girls were asking him to sign his "work".

-

There were other names on the cover...

-

... (stubborn, doesn't care)

-

Why are you plunging so quickly into the abyss of suffering.

-

(lowering her head) What will I do now? Otoke?

-

Think about what happened to you recently. ... Did Soo-Bong do you any harm or good?

-

What does your heart really say? ....

Yeon-Joo and Soo-Bong are walking, looking steadily into the sky.

-

(checking her smartphone) Oh!

-

(worried) What... what is it, Noona?

She shows him a video just posted on the internet:
Ren-Bo flying between buildings.

-

(overwhelmed) Pfoofff, I have no idea how... how... It's just impossible to justify her presence in this world.

-

Wait... (takes her smartphone and scrolls down the page)

-

Look. (shows her the comments under the video)

"This is bogus!"
"Very good deep fake."
"Already tried six months ago. It's time to stop this bull."

-

(offended) People are so disbelieving!

-

We add a touch of magic to their lives, but they're already jaded and cynical...

The film set is on the greenish roof of this tall building.

Kang Chul arrives determined, pissed off.

The assistant director looks at him while tapping his watch, like "you're late".
Han Hyo-Joo is sitting in a deckchair under a sunshade.
She drinks an iced Americano, while an assistant carries a fan facing her.

-

(sees Kang Chul, disdainfully) We're at the mercy of his celebrity whims...

-

Yah! The little prince didn't get his kiss to wake up?

-

Director Jung, I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm today!

Kang Chul immediately goes to stand in front of the cameras.

-

Hyo-Joo, if you'd stop sipping, maybe we could shoot...

-

Oh! (gets up and goes to the stage)

-

(impatient) So, that opening clap, is it coming?!

Morally unsettled, director Jung signals to start filming.

-

Engine... Action! (CLAP!)

They shoot the scene where Kang Chul asks Yeon-Joo to draw a dream. (W Ep08)
Kang Chul backs up step by step to the edge of the roof...

-

(acting) It's a pity I could only give you 4 romantic gestures. I wanted to do 100 more for you.

-

... !! (surprised, "excellent performance")

-

(acting) I want to hug you, but I can't even do that. My feelings would make me hesitate.

Behind his camera, director Jung is flabbergasted.

-

It's amazing, he ate a lion today!

-

(acting) Are you going somewhere?

-

For once, the script is identical to the manhwa.

-

(acting) We're out of time, and this is a good episode ending.

-

I've never seen him act so well, the scene will be perfect.

-

(acting) Oh Yeon Joo... Forget about me. I'm just a manhwa character.

-

Screenwriter Song found the original scene acceptable.

As Kang Chul looks at Han Hyo-Joo, he also sees antennas in the background.

-

Only two more small steps back and it's the Oscar!

-

(acting) If you miss me, you'll find me in--

And then-- Kang Chul sees a giant orange butterfly wing sticking out behind an antenna!

Without waiting for the final clap, Kang Chul rushes to that area.

-

!!

Bompf! He shoves Hyo-Joo, who falls on her .

-

!!!

-

(laments, failure just a step away from success) , , , why? Whyyyyy?

The technicians, ...???, watch Kang Chul running to the other end of the roof, without understanding.

Kang Chul sees Ren-Bo sitting on the edge of the roof.
He moves stealthily towards her, behind her back.
But Fairy Spark is facing Ren-Bo and notices him.

-

Watch out, Ren-Bo! (points at Kang Chul)

-

??! (turns her head, but too late)

Kang Chul belts Ren-Bo from behind. Her wings are stuck and unable to flap.
Kang Chul lifts Ren-Bo, and brings her back to the set.

-

(screams) Let me go! Help!!!

-

... (determined, will never let her go!)

Kang Chul returns to the set clutching Ren-Bo, whose feet don't touch the ground.
The film crew is distraught. Kang Chul heads for the exit stairs.

-

(screams, flaps her legs) Help! This ert kidnaps me!

-

(to the people) I know her. She's an obsessed fan of mine. (a wing wagging in his face)

-

... !!

-

That's wrong, we don't know each other! I'm not a fan of anyone! (pulling Kang Chul's arms in vain)

-

(to the people) She is a friend's niece. A capricious brat who only causes bull.

-

... !!

-

ARAAH! Let go of me, you scoundrel! (a wriggling fury)

-

... !!

-

(whispering in her ear) Calm down, I'm Soo-Bong's Hyung. So follow me without fuss.

-

(screams) He's from a family of sadists who torture me!!! SAVE ME !!!!! (waving her arms, a cartoon!)

-

(about to intervene but changes his mind) She said they didn't know each other?!

Kang Chul leaves the roof with Ren-Bo, going down a staircase.
This technician follows them.

-

ing Jesus! What was that chick doing on the roof?

-

(shouts) Yah!!! The security wankers, what the hell is this ?!

-

We checked though!

-

You're as incompetent as Kang Chul's security team in "W". off, I don't want to see your bunch of s anymore!

-

(outraged) Hey! You can't talk to people like that!

-

Ok, I'll stop talking... And you're just gonna take my foot up your !!!

Han Hyo-Joo, still on the floor, waves her arms around wriggling.

-

(actress's whim) No one will take care of me here?!

Kang Chul embraces Ren-Bo agitated, followed by the team technician.
He arrives in front of a room door with a sign "Reserved - Team W".

-

(sees the technician, nods toward the door) Open this.

-

(!!) ... (opens the door of the room)

Here, movie props, dressing room.
Kang Chul releases Ren-Bo and closes the door, Clock, locked.

-

(angry) What do you want to do to me?

-

Nothing, you'll calm down first.

-

Then we'll have a little talk.

-

I won't calm down!!!

-

We'll spend as long as it takes. Then you'd better stop this ridiculous outburst quickly.

-

Hyyiiiih!! (throws herself at Kang Chul)

Kang Chul takes out his smartphone, holding Ren-Bo at a distance with one arm.
She clumsily punches him to reach the door, while he starts the call.

Yeon-Joo walks with Soo-Bong, talking on the smartphone.

-

(happy surprise) What? You've already found her?

-

!!!

~

...... (in the back, Ren-Bo's high-pitched screams)

-

Okay, I'll bring it to you. I'll go buy it, it'll be faster. (hangs up)

-

Did he find her? Is she okay?

-

(smiles) She's even a bit too energetic.

The bucolic landscape, unreal colors, contrast, but not sinister at this sunny hour.

Wang Shin walks ten meters ahead, while Yoon-Hee struggles to keep up.

-

(looking back) Princess Yoon-Hee, can't you walk faster?

-

NO! That's how we walk, us fat girls!!!

-

That village, are you sure it's this way?

-

(disoriented, looking around) Ummm... Once we get here... I couldn't tell if--

-

Tsss. Tell me the name, we don't have time to waste picking mushrooms.

-

(mumbles) She wants to play scout and doesn't bloody know the way...

-

Can't we take a break?

-

There's no point now.

-

Have we arrived?

-

Yes, only ten kilometers to go.

-

Let's take a break!

-

Come on, we'll have plenty of time to rest afterwards.

-

You can carry me then...

-

Hu-ho! That's not possible, that!

-

You can see I'm hurt, too.

-

It's amazing how much you lack gallantry. ~One wonders how a delicate woman like Cha Yu-Sun endured you.

-

(looking at her reddened shoulder) You're right. You should have your bandage redone.

Wang Shin sits in the grass, Yoon-Hee against a tree.
Some cows graze further away.
Wang Shin takes out some herbs and compresses from his bag.

-

(takes off her shoes, feet reddened, swollen) Look at the condition of my feet!

-

Don't expect me to massage them.

-

Aaah.. It would do me so much good!

Wang Shin gently removes the old bandage on her shoulder.
Grrrooiikkk... Yoon-Hee's stomach gurgles loudly.

-

I'm horribly hungry.

-

There are cows over there, I could milk one.

-

No, it's fine.

-

Here, these roots are edible. (pointing to roots) And in this kind of soil, we can find edible worms too.

-

I'm telling you, it's fine!

-

Tsss, you should know... (cleaning her wound with water)

-

Ouch!

-

I'm doing it as gently as I can.

-

I know, but it still stings.

-

Think about something else. Here, answer some questions.

-

Go ahead...

-

About the shadow killers. Who are they? Why is there no trace of them?

-

That was never properly explained.

-

Ahu? Explained? By whom?

-

That's a detail that doesn't matter.

-

Of course it does! If we could interrogate them, it would lead us to their base.

-

They're not supposed to be interrogated or live anywhere. Let's say... The Queen of Darkness summons them out of nowhere.

-

That's why they evaporate, when they are killed.

-

(!!!) She would have the power to do that?!! (overtaken)

-

(jaded) ... well, yeah... whatever...

-

... ?!?

-

(realizes) You're right! Now that I'm stuck here, details like that matter.

Yoon-Hee closes her eyes, concentrates...

So concentrated that she does not suffer, when Wang Shin applies herbs to her wound.

~

She cannot summon them suddenly, and must prepare her army before. That's why she didn't have any reinforcements last night.

-

As it's boring, we see that quickly in the first few volumes.

-

A volume, are you talking about a book? (wraps a new bandage around her shoulder)

-

... Yes... Some kind of ancient book that I had, talking about her.

-

She can't summon an infinite number of them. Just enough to defeat or be defeated.

-

(!!) Be defeated?!! But... what's the point?!

~

She can turn any animal into a ferocious monster. But only one beast at a time, something with style.

-

A demonic wolf, a giant beetle, a hellish horse, a spy rat.

-

... !! (suspected, but hard to hear)

~

She can control weak minds. But it's a bit vague. One person at a time, most of the time.

-

She couldn't control you or any other important person.

-

(disillusioned) aHum... And all I have is a blunderbuss... (finishing the bandage)

Yoon-Hee shakes her shoulder slightly, relieved to be comfortable.

-

While you're taking care of a wounded one, couldn't you do it all the way?

-

Did I forget something?

-

(soft eyes) ~My feet, they're a mess.

-

... !

-

How can I keep walking like this?

-

You are as stubborn as a mule!

-

It's not a brave country boy like you that's gonna scare off!

-

Ahu. All right, I'll do it, if it helps you to move on.

Wang Shin massages Yoon-Hee's plump little feet.

-

Hi hi! ~You're doing a great job~~.

-

(enjoyment) Waaaa, what a foot!

-

Oh! (looking at her feet)

-

Huh?

-

You have really pretty feet! They're round and soft and elegant.

-

(so soft to hear) ~Thank you...

-

They're cute as pig's feet.

-

(!!!) ... (annoyed) The first compliment was enough.

From a distance, Yeon-Joo and Soo-Bong enter the hotel. He carries a bag with difficulty.

Going to the elevator, Soo-Bong carrying a heavy bag and Yeon-Joo on the phone.

-

I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, Publisher Park.

Yeon-Joo presses the button on the 31st floor.

-

(exhausted from carrying the bag) Mpff, couldn't you help me carry this?

-

(takes the bag) ... (?!) It doesn't weigh that much...?!

-

Yah! I'll remind you that I was shot in the shoulder!

-

Mooah-ah! What a lame excuse... You've refurbished it with a pen !

Soo-Bong and Yeon-Joo are walking. She looks around, amazed.

Yeon-Joo runs. Kang Chul's security guard opens a hotel room.
He beckons Yeon-Joo to come, but the police catch her.

~

This really looks like the place where I was arrested by the police.

-

Kang Chul's incompetent guard preferred to call his HQ before waving you over.

-

(realizes) Oooh yes. I could have run away in time, if not for that...

Yeon-Joo at a table. The security guard gets a call and leaves her alone.

~

It's the same guy who left me in the bar five minutes before...

Yeon-Joo forces her way in, the guard lets her.

~

And who let me enter Kang Chul's room.

-

(raises finger, lists) He also let Kang Chul enter the warehouse unprotected, got easily overpowered by my father, and what else...?

-

(unfair) Kang Chul never fired him! But Yoon So-hee, that was quick...

Yeon-Joo and Soo-Bong arrive. Here, the technician and Han Hyo-Joo.
Coming from the room, Ren-Bo's high-pitched screams, Kang Chul exclaiming, an argument.

-

(annoyed) Oh Yeon-Joo, this is outrageous!!! Your husband is blocking my locker room for an hour now! Get that lunatic lout out of here!

-

What about the filming, did you give up?

-

Director Jung has enough rush to make an edit.

-

So I'd like to get out of this moldy place as soon as possible!!!

Voooshh, Crash Cling!!, A sound of strong wind, then objects breaking.

-

(thumbs up to the door) ... That sounds like a lot of trouble...

-

(Knock Knock, knocks on the door) CHUL?!

~

(pissed off, yells) Hyo-Joo, stop pissing me off!!! Go back to paint your nails under your sunshade!

-

Oh!!! He's a total cad!

-

(speaks loudly) No honey, it's me, Yeon-Joo!

Kang Chul opens the door narrowly, pushing Ren-Bo's hands away from his face.

-

(slips the bag to him) Take this.

-

(shouts) Hyyiiii, let me out!!!

-

Stay out. (sweeps Ren-Bo's hands away, waving like a fury)

-

(shouting) Hyyiiii, Hyiiiii!!!

-

(speaks loudly because of the shouting) But it's up to Soo-Bong to explain it to her! In this kind of storyline, it's up to the spurned lover to make up.

-

(shouts) Don't leave me with him!

-

I don't care about clichés. I'll keep it simple, and above all, effective!

SBAM! Kang Chul slams the door, Clock!, locking sound.

-

...... (dejected, vexed, distressed)

-

... (nods no, bothered by the non-respect of the scenario)

-

He doesn't bully her, does he?

-

(sudden thought) No. (convinced) He actually has a better chance of fixing it.

Time passes. Seen from above, the film crew finishes packing up the equipment.

-

(exasperated) This is unacceptable, I'm calling security now!

-

Please, Hyo-Joo, be patient a little longer.

-

I'm stupid for listening to a nutcase like you. (walks away)

-

(!!) ... (watches her leave the hallway) ... ("am I really crazy?")

Suddenly, Kang Chul opens the door wide.
Ren-Bo rushes out, immediately throws herself into Soo-Bong's arms.

-

!!!

-

I'm so sorry I said all that.

-

Ren-Bo... my angel...

-

Take me away from your obnoxious Hyung quickly.

-

I'm sorry Ren-Bo, I love you, I would never--

-

I love you too, Soo-Bong.

She stops the hug, glances at Kang Chul with annoyance, then drags Soo-Bong away.

-

(puffy cheeks, sighs) Pfuuuu!

-

What took you so long?

-

This infernal girl does not understand anything! (overwhelmed, nods) Yet logical and obvious arguments.

-

I guess that's her charm...

Yeon-Joo looks at the room, as if a storm had taken place here.
She looks at the side of the bed, we can't see, but...

-

I'll get that back. (takes the empty bag at the entrance)

Further down the corridor, looking at Kang Chul.

-

(on smartphone) ... I have news for you.

-

(hangs up his smartphone) Boss, I have news!!! From the guy you bribed!

-

... ?

-

Kang Chul kidnapped a girl! In front of everyone!! She was screaming! Then he sequestered her in a hotel room for an hour!!!

-

... !!!

-

Screaming, crying, , lots of !!! Sounds of banging on the bed! 'know what I mean?!

-

(can't believe it) ... Jesus... This guy is a ual ert too!!!

-

Yet his wife was here, with their accomplice Soo-Bong, guarding the door!

-

His wife??! ... But the police did nothing?

-

The girl didn't go to the police. She came out and ran into Soo-Bong's arms, crying.

-

... They must have some kind of leverage on her.

-

Probably a former e! She looked like that according to the witness.

-

I suspect something more twisted...

-

(!) More sickening than that?

-

Yes, this girl must be Soo-Bong's real girlfriend.

-

(!!) How horrible... that means that--

-

This Kang Chul knows no limits. We already knew that...

-

He gives in to his impulses even among his closest ones! And this Yeon-Joo accepts all her husband's deviations.

-

Surely, she should enjoy it with sadistic pleasure?!

-

Yes, that's exactly the profile of the character!

-

His wife delivered a bag to him.

-

It's not hard to guess what it contains...

-

The complete panoply of sadomasochists!!

-

She knows that her husband will always come back to her. Maybe she even participates sometimes.

-

A couple united by crime and debauchery. A erse passion that nothing and no one can break.

-

(thoughtful) ... But Soo-Bong is just an accomplice.

-

He was completely turned around when he got the girl back!

-

... Chances are, he's at his wit's end.

-

His girlfriend was in front of him, though!!!

-

Soo-Bong is the last wheel in this rotten clique. The guy who gets all the .

-

A bit like me, boss...

-

Maybe we can use him to denounce this cursed couple?

-

Oh! Another thing! The girl had a weird multi-colored cape on her back.

-

Idiot, that kind of detail doesn't matter! Let's focus on the main thing...

Ren-Bo looks at the house, stunned, mouth open... Orange wings.

-

... You really live in this wreck?!

-

... ?!

-

Little angel, the best would be to stay here, for a while.

-

... ("since there is no choice, we will have to make do with it...")

-

Is that alright, Hyung?

-

(sternly) Ask Yeon-Joo.

-

... (snarling grin in Kang Chul's direction)

-

Noona?

-

~Of course, Soo-Bong.

-

(sees the area to be a vegetable garden) Oh! (points) What a pity that this area is left fallow!

-

(proudly) Hey hey, I turned the soil.

-

We could plant some flowers here! (green wings)

-

I'll grow a vegetable garden here.

-

Mh?! What for? (orange wings) (obvious) ... It's no use...

-

... ??!

Do-Yoon comes out of the house, ... !!, amazed at seeing Ren-Bo.

-

(formal, polite) Hello, nice to meet you, Ren-Bo. My name is Seo Do-Yoon, I'm also from a manhwa.

-

You recognized me?! Am I a celebrity here?

-

Your wings are really beautiful.

-

(flattered) Hi hi! Thank you Mr. Do-Yoon.

-

This is my second Hyung.

-

(nodding) He looks much more sociable than the other one!

-

Mmoh oh... (can't help but giggle)

-

(!) This flow of stupidities, enough to turn you into a mad dog...

-

(pretends to kick Kang Chul's back) ... (sticks her tongue out behind his head, a living cartoon!)

-

Stay here, I have an inspection to do. (goes to the stoop) (as an order) Hyung!!

-

... (goes with him)

-

Do you have it?

-

... (hands Kang Chul a micro-spy detector)

-

... (takes it and enters the house with Do-Yoon)

-

(!!) He does inspections? Like a boarding school guard?! (ironic) ~~This will be merry...

-

... ??

-

I hope he doesn't touch my stuff!

-

But... you don't have anything with you?!

-

(lost by the illogic) And you just arrived... ?!

-

(realizes) Oh yes... It's pretty troublesome, I'd like to change.

-

I'll go buy you some clothes. (goes to the street)

FLIP-FLAP! A short wing flap and Ren-Bo catches up with her at once.

-

Hey! Wait for me.

-

I'm going alone.

-

You're buying me clothes, but I haven't tried them on?!

-

Ren-Bo, this is the real world, people will notice you.

-

You don't have the good taste to plant flowers where you should. How could I trust you to choose clothes for me?!

-

... !!! (mumbles) ... I'm beginning to understand my husband...

-

(wonders) It seems that people in the real world lack logic...

-

I know your tastes and measurements perfectly well! I will go alone - period!!!

Yeon-Joo gets into her car, VLAN!, slamming the door.
Ren-Bo is about to open the back door. Yeon-Joo, !!!, faster--
Click!, She presses the button that closes all the doors.
Ren-Bo fails to open.
VRR!, Yeon-Joo turns on the car's ignition.
FLAP-FLAP!!! Ren-Bo flies and lands on the front hood!

-

!!!

-

(toc toc, knocks on window) Noona, it's no use. Let's go together!

-

She'll always win at the game of the most stubborn. You know that!

-

(sigh of annoyance) Pfff!

-

Me, stubborn??! Huh?

Click!, Yeon-Joo unlocks the doors.

Kang Chul passes the detector near the table, the eel reacts.
He inspects the table, nothing, he sits on the floor and looks underneath.
He finds Sang-Deuk's spy transmitter, turns it off and retrieves it, then stands up.

-

(inspects the device) Technologically outdated, and easily detectable. But robust, with a long range, a military surplus.

-

An intelligence service wouldn't use this kind of equipment.

-

Who would be interested in spying on you? Paparazzi?

-

... (thinking, remembering)

-

(pulls 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?!

-

I think this is yours ma'am. (gives the bag back to Yeon-Joo)

-

He didn't have time to steal anything.

As soon as the elevator doors open, Kang Chul grabs Young-Sik.

-

Head for the police station!

-

Those two weird guys... It could be a problem if they heard the truth about the manhwa.

-

Now that I'm here, they won't dare to venture nearby.

Kang Chul took out the transmitter Yeon-Joo had in her bag.

-

But there is one thing I don't understand. Why went to all this trouble to place a turned-off transmitter?

-

Maybe... Someone stupid enough to do it?

-

(??) ... Hyung, nobody can be that stupid...

Yeon-Joo's car is stuck in traffic.
A line of cars is waiting in front, because of a red light further down.

Yeon-Joo is driving, Soo-Bong in front, Ren-Bo in the back.

-

(grimaces) Yuck, it smells like diesel in here!

-

... Yes, it's like that in the traffic jams.

-

It's a pain to be stuck here.

-

(wearily) ... Aaand yes, it's a pain...

-

Is it like this every day?

-

(annoyed) Yes, it's like this every day!

-

(annoying laugh) PwfAh ah! And you insist on coming here? It's not really a rational choice of life.

-

(sigh of frustration) Pheww ...

-

... (this makes him smile, "so cute")

-

You should have told me where it is. I would have gotten there faster on my own by flying.

-

(gritting her teeth) Certainly not!!!

-

~It's not too late, ~give me some money, I'll manage.

-

(sternly) NO!

-

Beeeh... This is just to fix you up, m'kay?!

-

Don't you understand that you have to avoid being seen by people?

-

Yah! That's their problem, not mine! They can look the other way if they don't like it.

-

(to herself, hopeless) Lord, she really doesn't understand anything...

-

I left a world where I had to hide, it's not to do it again here.

Light turns green but there is too much traffic to reach it. Then, red light again.

-

(vibrating lips) prlprlprl... A turtle would be already there...

-

... ("my girlfriend always does funny things")

Too upset to hear more from Ren-Bo, Yeon-Joo turns on the car radio.
The program plays a sentimental song. (use a song from "W four worlds")

-

It's so fuddy-duddy, this kind of music...

Yeon-Joo changes the station to a cultural channel.

~

(low volume) I think the electric bass is a misunderstood instrument in Korea...

~

(low volume) You can hardly hear it, the sound is too muted, not very distinct, even when the score is good.

Yeon-Joo sees in the rearview mirror...
PLUFF! Cloud of light. Fairy Spark appears in Ren-Bo's hand.

-

(to the fairy) Look, it's a new friend. Go introduce yourself.

The Fairy flies into the car, producing a trail of stars, and lands on the steering wheel.

-

But... I know you, Ajumma... ?!

-

... !!! (flabbergasted, drops the wheel)

-

... (happy to see the fairy again)

-

(clenches fists, screams) PUT THAT FAIRY AWAY!!!

Fairy Spark freaks out and FLUFF!, puff of light, she disappears.

-

(upset) You scared her, when she wanted to be nice to you.

-

(crying) Why are you so brutal here too?! Boo hoo hoo... boo hoo hoo

-

(mumbles) Lord... and this is just the beginning...

-

Soo-Bong, go sit in the back with her! And make sure she doesn't do anything stupid!

-

... !!!

-

(gets out of the car and grumbles) I'm not her nanny.

-

(gets in the back seat and grumbles) I'm her boyfriend.

He sits next to Ren-Bo, and tenderly her hair.
Ren-Bo sticks to him affectionately to be comforted.

Yeon-Joo's car is parked on a deserted street.
They walk to a lone clothing store.

-

It's not very crowded here.

-

I hope it's not a rag store!

-

Ren-Bo, stand properly without attracting attention! No Fairy pop up!! No wing flapping!!

-

(military) Aye Aye, Ajumma!! At your command, Ajumma!! As you please, Ajumma!!

-

Grrr! Shoo!! Hurry up and enter!

-

(sees the pile of clothes) Ren-Bo, I won't buy you all that!

-

Gnaaah. Don't worry, it's just for trying on. I won't pick more than 10!

-

(big eyes, sighs) Pfffff, we'll be here all day.

-

Pssst, Soo-Bong.

-

What's the matter, little angel?

-

Is everything okay, Ren-Bo?

~

Yes, it will be a real fashion show!

-

Tadam! (cheerful) ... Does it look good on me?

-

I have the feeling that on you, everything is fine.

-

(doubtful) It's the right color for the season, but... ... Umm... it doesn't match my wings...

-

How about this one?

-

Just perfect.

-

(doubtful) It matches my wings, but... ... Umm... it's not the right color for the season...

-

Hi hi hi. It's beautiful! Isn't it?

-

Oh yes yes yes!

-

(doubt) On the other hand, if I don't stay happy... ... Umm... It won't match my wings anymore...

-

(comes from the booth) It's done, I've chosen 10 outfits!

-

Are you together?

-

Yes.

-

(kindly) I'll wrap them up for you right away. (goes to the booth)

-

Finally, we'll get it right without causing a catastrophe.

~

Aaaaaah!!! (shouts in the booth)

-

??!

Catastrophized, the saleswoman leaves the booth.
In one hand, she holds about twenty clothes.
The other hand, she dangles a blue dress with a big hole in the back.

-

You're crazy to have torn all these clothes!

-

!!!

She quickly shows more clothes, all with holes in the back.

-

(angry) You better pay for all this!

-

... !!! (speechless)

Yeon-Joo mortified... Her payment card in the machine prints an endless note.
On the counter, the pile of 100 clothes with holes in it, next to Yeon-Joo's clothes.

-

(embarrassed) Sorry Noona, I'll pay you back.

-

(exasperated, cynical) Come on, since I said it was my treat!

-

(sly smile) At least she won't be short of clothes...

As if nothing had happened, Ren-Bo fiddles with Yeon-Joo's clothes on the counter.

-

When I said she had no taste...

-

ARAaah! (snatches her clothes from Ren-Bo's fingers)

They walk back to the car.

-

This girl is driving me crazy!!!

-

... (quiet, looking absent-mindedly at the buildings)

-

Soo-Bong!!! I told you to watch her!

-

... (ashamed)

Ren-Bo pokes her head out of the fitting booth.

-

Pssst, Soo-Bong.

-

What's the matter, little angel?

-

Could you pass me that pair of scissors? (points to scissors on a shelf)

Without thinking, Soo-Bong goes to get the scissors and gives them to her.

-

Thank you! (returns to the booth)

-

I didn't think she needed it for this...

-

Oh!!! Besides it's your fault?! You have nothing in your head, one as much as the other??!!

-

(disillusioned) Pfff... I have to adapt my outfits, to be able to wear them.

-

... !!! (about to get even more upset)

-

You drew me with wings, at least take responsibility for it!

Yeon-Joo calms down, anticipates the future by remembering...

~

As a manhwa character, Kang Chul was superhuman...

~

... by his intuition, intelligence and will.

¤ In a park, Ren-Bo is putting on nail polish.
She blows to dry, but it is long. An idea to go faster!
She opens the valve of her bike tire, dry the nails under the air jet.
Later on her bike, she falls because of the deflated tire.

~

Ren-Bo was also superhuman...

¤ At school, Ren-Bo must answer to : "1 + 1 + 1".
She writes: "1 + 1 + 1 = The moon".

~

... by her silliness, stubbornness, irresponsibility, and hypersensitivity...

¤ In a zoo, Ren-Bo finds keys on the ground, wondering where it comes from.
She tests a key on a grid. It opens !
At the zoo reception, Ren-Bo is happy to return the keys.
Lions escape through the open grid. People scream and run away.

~

... and fortunately the most important thing, being adorable.

-

... (staring ahead, tragic and scared)

-

Really, people here make a tragedy out of nothing.

-

Hush, little angel, let's give Noona time to get over it.

-

Hi hi! Kiss!

-

Huh?

She shows him her lips with a finger. Then gives him a quick smack on the mouth.

-

Thanks, Oppa, it was great shopping with you. ... I hope we can do it again soon.

Ren-Bo wears one of the 100 outfits purchased, acts coquettish with Aegyo.

-

Ren-Bo, you are splendid with that.

-

Thank you Mr. Do-Yoon!

-

It's really nice to deal with someone as kind as you. (looks at Kang Chul as "you see the good example?")

-

(coldly) Do-Yoon, I think we'll assign her to you.

-

... (looks at Yeon-Joo, surprised to see her upset)

-

(jealous) Hey, no. We're staying together! (holds Ren-Bo close)

-

Did something happen?

-

Come on, we won't "make-a-tragedy-out-of-nothing"!

-

... ?!

-

(awkward) ~ahaa... Ren-Bo is just used to money growing on trees...

-

... !!

FLIP-FLIP-FLIP! Ren-Bo visits the house by flying low.
Shamelessly, she snoops around in the bedroom, bathroom, guest room, etc.
Do-Yoon reads. Yeon-Joo prepares the guest room. Soo-Bong surfs on internet. Kang Chul is on the phone.
FLIP-FLIP-FLIP! She flies over and over in the living room from one place to another.
They have the strange feeling to be disturbed by a giant butterfly, accidentally entered through the window.

-

(to the smartphone) I'm sorry about this mess, Producer Son. Tell actress Han that I will apologize.

-

Do-Yoon, I'm sorry, there's only the sofa left for you.

-

Don't worry, I have a Spartan spirit.

Ren-Bo runs her finger over a shelf, "yuck!", dust, "oh!", manhwas stored here.

Ren-Bo happily gazes at the shelves filled with Manhwa.

-

Can I see mine?

-

... (worried, nods to Kang Chul)

Kang Chul goes to get the 6 volumes of "Butterfly Girl".

-

Come over here. (goes to the sofa)

Kang Chul takes a chair, they sit in the sofa. He puts the manhwa on the coffee table.

-

(sees the cover of the first volume, Ren-Bo drawn on it) Who is it? Is there another girl with butterfly wings in the story?

-

It's Noona who drew this cover. ... It was in her early days.

-

... ! (vexed)

-

Remember, Ren-Bo. See here? (points to "Jang Soo-Bin")

-

... (looks, nods a few times)

-

She's the writer, she's the one who decided your fate.

-

We are very angry with ourselves for accepting this script...

-

... (stressed, nods several times)

-

Someone else would have drawn it. No one could anticipate that Ren-Bo would come alive.

-

It's okay. I've read a lot of manhwas with unhappy characters.

-

But Jang Soo-Bin is not responsible either. For her, it's just a story without consequences.

-

Well, let's say... a story intended to solve her personal failures by proxy.

-

Seonsaingnim is a less happy person than she looks.

-

(sad, compassionate) Maybe she was as unhappy as I was, to write this?

-

(terribly embarrassed) And besides... we stole her manhwa.

-

(upset, crying) We must not be different in our grief. (tears, tears, tears...)

Soo-Bong comforts her by squeezing her shoulder. Kang Chul looks at her tenderly.

-

At least an author who will not be shot...

-

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo... (white wings, suffering that goes away)

They look at her, moved, squinting because of the light from her wings.

Ren-Bo reads the manhwa alone. Some excerpts from the pages. Her reactions, emotions.
She cries without shouting, she reacts to the worst moments, but keeps her calm.
Her birth. The wings ablation surgery. The fall from the high school roof. Jin In-Jin's suicide plan.

Soo-Bong and Ren-Bo sitting on the ledge facing the living room. Pink and white wings.

-

Are you well, my angel?

-

Snirf, yes.

-

Thank you Oppa, your drawings of me are beautiful.

-

(Proud, moved) I wanted to draw you as pretty as possible. And I fell in love with your drawings... and then with you...

-

It was a bit hard, but to see myself in it made me feel good. (breathes with a heavy heart)

-

... (smiling, soft, moved)

-

(jerks tears) I am no longer lost in this endless tunnel of torment.

-

(gasps, released) I don't have to feel guilty and ashamed anymore...

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo look at them through the window.

-

Finally, she takes it well and quickly. Better than my alter-ego when he read "W".

-

You've locked yourself up in your pain and resentment. Whereas for Ren-Bo, it's a liberation.

-

(nostalgic) It took me two lives for that...

-

She has a weak intellect, but an exceptional mind agility. ... The intelligence of the heart...

-

We should give her and Soo-Bong some time.

-

(rolls eyes) Especially since it will give us a break!

-

Soo-Bong, Ren-Bo, we have to leave you here tonight.

-

We're counting on you to avoid doing anything stupid!

-

What's going on, Hyung?

-

Tonight we go to the pre-production end party. My drama is halfway through.

-

Hey, I wish I could go! ... It looks like fun...

-

Unfortunately, you're not invited.

-

(angry sigh) PFFF!!! (sulking) ...

-

And don't you dare fly after us!

-

Hyung!!!

-

... !! (startled, was reading)

-

You are invited, Do-Yoon.

-

That's nice Yeon-Joo, but I'd rather stay here and read.

-

(as an order) Do-Yoon, we said you were invited!!!

-

Oook... President Kang.

-

(unfair) So he gets to go, and we don't?! (sulking)

-

... (nods towards Kang Chul "do something")

-

(reluctantly) I promise to invite you for the end of shooting party.

-

It's a promise? Is it true?

-

Yes! I promise!!

-

(winking at Ren-Bo) He always keeps his promises.

-

(taking out sunglasses) Hyung, change your hair and put this on.

-

... ??

Dressed elegantly, Yeon-Joo, Kang Chul and Do-Yoon get into their car.

Ren-Bo watches the car leave through the window.

-

(sad, disappointed) They are not very nice to leave us here...

-

I think they wanted to get rid of us.

-

(frowning) ... I have an idea.

-

... ??

-

(obvious, raises arms) Hey, let's have a party, too!

-

Just the two of us?

-

... (raises her brows, "of course, idiot")

-

You're right, why bother?!

-

Yay!!! (FLAP!, flaps her wings, jumps to the ceiling)

POC!, she bangs her head on the ceiling, and comes back down.

-

!!! (frightened, rushes to her) ... Are you okay?!

-

(pouting, rubbing her head) ... No...

-

... (worried)

-

(throws herself into his arms) I need a hug!!! ( her head against him, smiling)

-

... (looks at her tenderly in his arms, "the girl I love is the best!")

On the bench, the two manhwa-loving high school girls are waiting for the night bus.

-

It's odd, I have the feeling that these two girls look like us.

-

(probably, great) Author Park... was inspired by us?!

-

(realizes) Yes?!!... Wow, so cool...

Ting! The first girl gets a notification on her smartphone. She looks at it.

-

A new episode of "Butterfly Girl". Already!

-

Let's read it together.

-

Yes, hi hi hi! (impatient, clicks on the smartphone)

A big picture showing a girl's foot crushing a butterfly and... "TO BE CONTINUED".

-

What? Is that all?

Ting!, new notification!

-

Another one!

They read, we don't see but...

-

But... there is only one page?!

Ting!, new chapter notification. They read.

-

What is this?!

Ting!

-

There's just one thumbnail on this one!!!

Ting!

-

Why are the chapters so short?!

Ting! Ting!

-

This makes no sense!!!

Ting! Ting! Ting!
