At the village entrance, Yoon-Hee and Wang Shin get off a cart.

-

Thank you! (waves to the farmer-driver)

-

Princess Yoon-Hee, I know a house available here. (enters the village)

-

Anything, as long as I can get my in it.

-

(!!) ... ("how vulgar!") Oooh, Princess Yoon-Hee! Princess Yoon-Hee!

-

(sighs from the throat) Hhhh.... Princess Yoon-Hee....

Yoon-Hee and Wang Shin are at the fence of a modest house.
Wang Shin enters the yard, but when Yoon-Hee takes a step--
ZOSH! She is stopped short! A supernatural phenomenon!
Dumbfounded, she sees a ghost of her leaving her body, while she is immobilized!
Wang Shin walks beside her ghost, towards the house.
Then... VOSHH! it is a time acceleration!!!

Wang Shin and her ghost go too fast to be perceived properly.
Instead, they appear and disappear from several places, flashing.
Sometimes they are dressed differently, doing something else, or absent in the house.
The clouds in the sky scroll by at an incredible speed.
The sun goes around the horizon in a blink, replaced by the night.
Day-Night-Day-Night. This happens seven times, in a split second.

This crazy saraband stops and...

... Yoon-Hee is in the same place, but facing the exit, carrying a bag.
Next to her is Wang Shin, dressed in a suit, coming out of the yard, carrying his bag.
She is shaking, her legs weaken.

-

(sees her staggering) Princess Yoon-Hee?

Yoon-hee collapses. Wang Shin rushes over and supports her before she falls.

-

(!!) What's wrong with you?

-

... (wraps her arms around him, too weak)

-

(worried) You seemed to recover though...

-

Give me a few minutes...

-

... (waits patiently, wary)

-

(??) ... (sees her shoulder healed, no more bandages)

:

Time has sped up, maybe a week, but why--

(!!!) Yoon-Hee has epileptic seizure, milder than the last one.

-

!X!!X!! (her head shakes, eyes bulging)

Recent memories of Princess Dong enter Yoon-Hee's mind.
In a secret temple in a cave, the Queen of Darkness is preparing.

-

Princess Yoon-Hee, I find you peaceful these days. ... Oooh, and very rational too!

-

Mmmh... That smells amazing.

-

... Chomp-Chomp... I didn't know you were such a good cook. There is enough to make a man happy!

-

Princess Yoon-Hee, I must say, I greatly appreciate your company. Your suitors must be a little silly to have refused to marry you.

-

I already told you that I was the one who turned them down!

-

(doesn't believe her) mMh-mMh...

In Wang Shin's arms, Yoon-Hee thinks quickly...

:

Strangely, I didn't live through this week, but Princess Dong did.

On the floor, Yoon-Hee is shaking frantically, suffering from an epileptic fit.

-

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

In Yoon-Hee's mind, a whirlwind of memories of Princess Dong.
¤ As a child, in a royal palace garden, with children of nobles.

~

It looks like the last time, only lighter. The memories of the princess when I'm not "inside" her.

Princess Dong is studying mechanical diagrams, sitting in a pavilion in the open air.
Intendant Han introduces her to two handsome noble suitors.
She looks at them, weary and annoyed.
She waves her hand to say "go away", then returns to her study.

~

I don't have the reflex, but I can access all of Princess Dong's memories. And she just has the memory of acting strangely when I was "inside her".

-

There's no way Oh Sung-Moo could have created all this. The world of "W" already existed. A parallel universe.

-

He just created some characters and their adventures.

~

The world of "Queen of Darkness" should also be a parallel universe. However in "W", the time line is consistent with the lives of the characters.

Satisfied, Yoon-Hee contemplates her final sketch, a smile up to her ears.
A princess dressed in bright colors, funny and dynamic, as fat as Yoon-Hee!

~

Oh Sung-Moo has been telling "W" for years, it's basically in sync. Whereas here, I created this character less than a day ago.

-

I'm serious... I need to check my story.

-

I barely noticed you when I was living in the palace. So don't expect me to recite your biographical details.

~

Yet, to everyone here, Princess Dong has always existed. The manhwa does not only change the current events...

:

The manhwa can change the past of the parallel universe. ... It's retroactive. It's totally insane.

Yoon-Hee feels better and leaves Wang Shin's arms. She sees him and--

-

Aaaah!!!

Wang Shin is dressed in a Western-style suit, short hair, and fake round glasses.

-

Princess? Isn't that better?

-

Why are you dressed like that?!

-

(!!) You asked me to be more discreet!

-

We're into some pretty heavy plagiarism now...

-

You think I look like someone else?

-

And you're pretending to be a rich Japanese merchant?

-

No, but I'll take the idea, it's pretty good.

-

I'm not even disguised on my side!

-

No one would pay any attention to you, though. You've got the physique of a typical pork-butcher.

-

(annoyed, gritting her teeth, big eyes) Hhhhh...

-

Ahaah... And I am again with the princess Yoon-Hee whom I haven't seen all week...

-

(so ridiculous) You are ten times more visible dressed like that! You're not even really disguised, we can recognize your face.

-

aHu?! Are you kidding?! You made me cut my hair!

-

(so absurd) Sorry, I live in the skin of an idiot.

-

Mmmh. You're a little hard on yourself... but there's some truth to it!

-

(gives up) Oh what the heck, keep it that way. You're cuter. And fake glasses are trendy these days.

-

Hu-Ho! So the only use for all this is to look cute in your eyes?!!!

-

The only important use, forget the rest.

-

... !!!

A low-rise building. At the entrance, a sign "W - Mid-production evening".
On the top floor, a lighted party room, with a terrace, some people.

Producer SON HYUNG-SUK welcomes the guests.
Next to him is director Jung Dae-Yoon, and actress Han Hyo-Joo.
In front of them, Kang Chul, Yeon-Joo and Do-Yoon, who have just arrived.
Do-Yoon is dressed in black suit, with sunglasses, hair brushed with gel.

-

Oh Yeon-Joo, I'm delighted to meet you at last. Please feel free to give Hyo-Joo some advice.

(looks up in horror)

-

(embarrassed) I wouldn't dare, I have no acting talent.

-

Yes, but who else knows the character better than you?

-

(puzzled) But... who is it? (points to Do-Yoon)

-

Oh, he's my bodyguard.

-

Ah ah! Am I scaring you that much?

Screenwriter Song Jae-Jung comes to greet them.

-

Good evening Seonsaingnim, it's nice to see you outside of class.

-

Good evening Yeon-Joo, good evening gentlemen.

-

It says "END", and nothing can change that to "TO BE CONTINUED".

-

I don't know your manhwa, but let's say it contains a pure idea. This will definitely cause an unexpected or impossible twist.

-

... (hope)

-

If you can't unlock this situation, someone else can.

-

So, did you manage to solve your script problem?

-

Yes... But I don't know how or by whom.

-

Screenwriter Song, don't forget the boy scout.

PAF!, He slaps Kang Chul's back and rushes him towards Screenwriter Song.

-

!!!

-

Thanks to you two, I'm gonna have a nice evening.

-

... ?!

-

Kang Chul, how elegant! Your wife is very lucky. It feels strange to meet you today.

-

Oooh, today? It's true that we don't see you much on the set.

-

(!!) ... (embarrassed, "let's try to lighten the mood") ~aAa. ~Honey, Screenwriter Song is very busy, with her double job as a teacher.

-

(puts hand on Kang Chul's back) Kang Chul, Screenwriter Song will provide you with some clarification.

-

(the other hand in the back of Song Jae-Jung) After all, it is to her that we owe our interminable discussions.

Director Jung pushes them away, forcing them to talk further.

-

(returns laughing) Ah ah ah!

-

... (looks at him with concern, "he looks a little crazy")

-

Ladies... (signals Hyo-Joo and Yeon-Joo to go somewhere else)

They go to the center of the room where the drama crew and actors are.
Do-Yoon goes to snoop around the room.

-

(finds himself alone) Do I stink or what?

Director Jung Dae-Yoon comes to the buffet and picks at an appetizer.
A technician is pouring himself a drink. He sees him and immediately runs away.

-

Pfft. (takes a drink)

-

(turns around) Aaah! (scared)

Crash-Kling! In surprise, he drops his glass and it shatters on the floor.
In front of him stands the actor Kim Eui-Sung, playing Oh Sung-Moo, looking sullen.

-

Actor Kim, why do you always scare everyone?

Producer Son, in the strange company of the two women-sosies.

-

(not used to worldliness, "let's find something to say") ~Will the drama be successful?

-

With an actor as talented and look-alike as your husband, I'm sure it will!

(falling mind, "him, a talented actor?!!")

-

Hyo-Joo, you're not lacking in talent either! I had a hard time getting you.

-

(pretentious) I put my cinema career on hold for you.

-

There are still some details that worry me. ... More related to the story than to the actors.

-

(suspicious) ... What for example?

-

I'm afraid that the audience will find the heroine too passive. People are tired of the role of the trophy wife.

-

(!!!) ... (offended) Let's see producer Son, she saves the hero four times!!

-

(picky) That's right. And he saves her "only" once.

-

You know, the audience is not always rational.

-

(obvious) The heroine carries the story alone! Besides, she suffers the most!

-

(shaking head) You'd have to be a "moron" to think otherwise!

-

(embarrassed smile) Ladies, don't get upset, this is just speculation.

-

... (remains sullen)

-

Oh, there's something else that bothers me!

-

... ?! (wary)

-

The main romance, I'm afraid our female audience will find it silly.

-

WHAT?!

-

The heroine falls in love with an imaginary guy without even thinking about the consequences, how she will organize her life, or if it's even feasible or realistic.

-

Oooh... I see, you're the petty, calculating type... ... ready to organize a tidy little life for yourself, with no thrill.

-

Not me, but the--

-

Producer Son, love enters without warning!!!

~

And I dream of-- I mean-- Yeon-Joo has been dreaming of Kang Chul since she was a child!

-

(a tigress) Those who balk at this, I skin them alive!

-

I'm not giving my opinion, they're just the--

Hyo-Joo puts an arm around Yeon-Joo's elbow, and leads her away.

-

Come on, Yeon-Joo, let's let this lout ponder our common sense remarks. And thank you for defending my character so well.

-

And you for interpreting it so well.

-

... (remains alone, depressed)

Do-Yoon meets actor Lee Tae-Hwan, with an empty glass in his hand. (He plays Do-Yoon in the drama).

-

(tipsy) Hey you, you look familiar.

-

(looks him up and down) I thought you were stronger.

-

(!!) And I thought you were more polite.

-

Do you even practice any martial arts?

-

(annoyed) Say, you wouldn't be looking for a fight, would you?

-

No. But if you need advice, contact President Kang.

-

... ?!

-

I mean, contact Kang Chul, I'll be glad to help you. We have a good reputation to uphold.

-

... (stunned, doesn't understand)

-

On it. (walks away)

-

What a strange guy, looking so serious...

Kang Chul and Song Jae-Jung holding a glass of champagne. Discussion already "animated".

-

(annoyed) Kang Chul, you become really unpleasant!

-

You ignore all the springs of the dramaturgy. So your opinion, I sit on it!

-

(scornfully) As if one needed a degree to tell good stories! I know people who have one and tell bad ones...

-

(taking it for herself) Are you aiming at someone?!

-

I only aim with a gun.

-

In that case, let's leave it at that!! You have your opinion of ignorant, I have mine of graduate. (about to leave)

-

No, that's too easy, Screenwriter Song! You owe me explanations!

-

I don't owe you anything! (stays, likes to have the last word)

:

The faceless killer... is in the real world?!

-

Why did you remove the parts where Kang Chul is thinking? He is smart enough to guess what is going on!

-

(so ridiculous) By not having any concrete clues, based on speculations?! That has no credibility, use a little common sense!!!

-

(rigorous) A story is based on logical foundations. Not spectacular scenes that are thrown around.

-

Yes, yes... I have learned to know your logic... ... The hero always in the right place at the right time, and all that...

-

... !!! (more and more outraged)

Yeon-joo cries. Her father is between life and death, shot by Kang Chul.

-

You saved Kang Chul and look at the result. He was just a comic book character.

-

Plus, you smooth things over. You make Soo-Bong a good guy, while he's a coward who spends his time breaking Yeon-Joo's morale.

-

(??!) ... It doesn't look like he's your friend in real life!

-

(rigorous) He is my friend, but I don't distort the facts.

-

His cowardice is enough for comedy. But you!!! You want to disgust the audience with the character?!

-

And all this is nothing, compared to your biggest mistake...

-

(!!!) A mistake ?!! (the ultimate outrage)

-

(ready to bite, but wants to know) Throw it, so I can laugh...

-

(arrogant) You stupidly tried to explain everything!

-

(!!!) "STU-PI-DLY"...?!!!

-

This tablet is not a magic object!

-

(shouts) If it is not magic, what do you want it to be?!!!

-

(shouts) Nothing! We can't know anything, it's just absurd, and so it is!

-

(exasperated) So, the audience wonders all along what's going on, and at the last episode, they get a big middle finger and the writer is slaughtered on the internet?!

-

Your story is explained as ineptly as the silliest Walt Disney movie!

-

Oh! (fuse blows)

-

OH !!!!!!

Splash!! Song Jae-Jung throws her glass champagne in Kang Chul's face.

-

... (victorious, but almost impassive)

Song Jae-Jung strides away.
Further on, spying on the scene... Director Jung Dae-Yoon is laughing out loud.

Hyo-Joo and Yeon-Joo are laughing while drinking champagne.

-

Oh oh oh! "Circus scarecrow", that nickname fits him so well!

-

Did Kang Chul come up with that?

-

(smiles) Yes.

-

He and I don't get along very well. But I guess he has some good points, since you married him.

-

(swoons) aAah... He's also very handsome.

-

You can say that, ah ah! All the girls on the set are at his feet.

-

... (slightly worried)

-

Speaking of handsome men... (sees Do-Yoon going to the terrace)

-

... ?!

-

Excuse me, Yeon-joo... (nods "bye" and goes to the terrace)

Do-Yoon looks at the landscape, leaning on the railing.
Hyo-Joo comes next to him and performs an actress' seduction show, makes tons...
... languid head movements, hair flying, but he doesn't notice.

-

(!!) ... (disappointed, "let's try the direct way")

-

You are really the mystery guest...

-

(surprised) Actress Han!

Do-Yoon looks around, and sees that they are alone here.

-

Call me Hyo-Joo instead... (continues her seductive act)

-

... ("what does she want from me?")

-

Why do you keep those sunglasses on in the middle of the night?

-

I have a conjunctivitis problem and--

Hyo-Joo takes off his sunglasses! Too unexpected for him to stop her.

-

(!!) ... ("she'll recognize me!")

-

Even without sunglasses, you remain as mysterious... ... and I love mysteries.

-

(embarrassed) ... Hm.

-

I didn't know Kang Chul had a bodyguard.

-

(puts the tip of the sunglasses to her lips) With your class, one would wonder who works for whom...

-

It's not just work, we're also friends.

-

Oh yes? For a long time? How so? (wants to know all about him!)

-

(desire to impress her, seduced without knowing it) I taught him martial arts, and then...

-

(as much to say it) By chance, we helped the justice in front of some crooks. We often fought together and helped each other.

-

Wow... You live so dangerously? (such an exciting man)

-

In the past, yes.

-

I hope you don't mind my slight resemblance to Yeon-Joo...

-

No, why would I--

Do-Yoon understands the implication. Shy but... interested.

-

You have nothing to do with her. I must say that ... ... in terms of elegance, you're hard to outshine.

-

(flattered) Oooh, thank you.

They look at each other for a few seconds, admiring each other seriously.

-

(frowns) One second... ... It's not obvious with this scant light but...

-

... ?!

-

You have a resemblance to the actor Lee Tae-Hwan.

-

... (contracted, "she'll suspect something")

-

But more muscular, more manly, more elegant, more charming. Didn't anyone ever tell you that?

-

I... avoid crowds, I'm a bit agoraphobic.

-

Really? That wouldn't stop you from being an actor too. Being in front of a crowd or a camera are two different things.

-

I think I'm a little too serious for acting.

-

That serious look suits you so well.

-

... ("we can't resist her when she's decided to give it her all")

-

Do you want me to tell you a secret about "W"?

-

A secret? You know one of W's secrets?!

:

(!!) She knows the truth about "W"?!

-

Yes, if I had to choose Yeon-Joo's fate instead of following the script... I think she would fall in love with Do-Yoon, rather than Kang Chul.

-

However, a Do-Yoon... dignified, serious and genuine. Not a nitpicking pipsqueak like actor Lee Tae-Hwan...

-

... (bewitched)

General view, a town bigger than a rural village.

Yoon-Hee and Wang Shin walk in.

-

(grumbling) You could have invested in horses. I'll get blisters on my feet again!

-

We should get that here.

-

You had a whole week for that! However - to find a suit - and glasses - no problem!!

-

Stop grumbling, we'll make a comfortable stop here.

-

Princess Yoon-Hee, I'll suggest something that should make you happy.

-

... ?! ("really?")

-

A good meal at a famous gourmet inn!

-

(nice surprise!!) ... Oooh... ~~It looks like you've finally learned how to pick my heart.

-

(amused) It's a nice day, how about eating outside?

-

A meal on the terrace?! (crazy with joy) Wooooo!!! WAH! WAH! WAH!

-

(looks at her in dismay) ... !? ("do I have a dog by my side?")

-

However, we will have to be discreet.

-

As long as we don't bark, it seems possible.

-

(shakes finger) What I mean by that... ... you'll have to stop calling me "Princess Yoon-Hee".

-

hu-hooooo... (problematic but true)

-

It's very simple!! It's like an arithmetic operation! You make "Princess Yoon-Hee" MINUS "Princess"!

-

(smiles like a madwoman) Which giiiiiiiiiiiiives... ??? (tilts her head in front of him like "answer the teacher")

-

hu-ho! We'll do that later.

-

nooo~ nooo~ nooo~. You have to practice first!! ... Soooooooo... ??? (head in front of him)

-

(!!) ... hmpf... (butchering the name in his clenched teeth) ... hYy.oOon - h.Hee.

-

(laughs like a maniac) wAaha... Wah Ah ah... WahAh Ah ah ah....

Nobles sitting around tables under bright lanterns.

-

How romantic. Hi hi!

The waiter brings in some appetizers, then leaves for the kitchen.

-

(to the waiter) Yah!! We're thirsty too! Bring back some beers!

-

Yes, Miss.

-

And hurry!!

The waiter hurries.

-

How did he know I'm a damsel... ?

-

Maybe ladies don't order drinks so quickly?!

-

Get some more, these won't last long.

Glop-glop-glop-glop-Gloob. Yoon-Hee drains her beer in one gulp.

-

AhhhHHHH. (throat cools)

-

(with the tone of "Oooh, princess Yoon-Hee") Yoon-Hee, you're not gonna drink like that?!

-

I can hold alcohol better than anyone else! I have a superhuman ability for it, you know?

-

Lots of practice! Twice a week! And an iron physique!

-

(in a low voice) But you're a princess!

-

(in a low voice) Just keep pretending I'm not!

-

Say, you won't be a boring guy?

-

What do you mean?

-

Drink!!! (puts her hand on the of his beer mug)

-

But-- but-- (she raises the mug)

Glop-glop-glop-spash... Forced to drink, half falls on his face and table.

-

I don't like it, when we drink, we do stupid things that we regret later.

-

Bwaaaah... Give yourself a break, it's the only rest we'll get.

-

More! More! This will save you a lot of back and forth.

-

Yes Miss.

-

With these, we make a love-shot!

-

Which is... ?

Yoon-Hee is about to drink a beer, and notices that Wang Shin does nothing.

-

Wang Shin, the fearless hero, except that .....

-

... ~You could carry me on your back?

-

Not anymore. (makes sure to support her) Walk now.

-

(walks with hesitant steps) ... Once real, you have small arms. So disappointing~~.

-

(disdainfully) For that too, you have small arms?

-

(!!!) You're crossing the line, Yoon-Hee!

-

(mocking) I'm not the one struggling to finish my drink.

-

(as in "are you aware of the danger") Very well, you challenge me... ?!

-

(imitating Wang Shin and exaggerating his seriousness) "Wang Shin, tonight one of us will roll under the table."

-

We'll check it out right away, Yoon-Hee... ... And considering your physique, you will have no trouble rolling!

Glop-glop-glop-Gloob. They drink their glasses in one go.

Yoon-Hee devours a chicken with her fingers. Pieces flying. A carnage.

-

... ?!! ("how can a princess eat so badly?!")

-

(mouth full, spits out bits of chicken, chews her words) With wThat, I'm wHolding wTen more wDrinks.

-

.... (terrible, sees the chicken crushed in her open mouth)

-

Lots of practice! Twice a week! And an iron physique!

-

Every other day I'd go out to bars with my brothers, and baked myself to death.

-

... you better lose that unhealthy habit of drinking.

-

I can hold alcohol better than anyone! I have a superhuman ability for it, you know?

-

... a huge binge-watching crisis. Several 60 hour Saeguk.

-

... 60-hour binges, with... Saeguk, whatever exotic alcohol...

Clop! Yoon-Hee puts down her empty mug, while Wang Shin is halfway through.

-

... !! (worried, understands that he will lose)

-

... (sadistic, crazy and funny expression, "you are my prey")

:

(!!!) ... Raaah!!! Princess Dong, be damned!!!

Yoon-Hee and Wang Shin talk like drunks and sway.

-

(points to the inn) ~Wang Shinnn... ~Did you notice?... Hips!...

-

(looks at the waiter) ... aHuu... We give him a lot of work.

-

Naaaa... Not that, Hips!... We are in an inn!

-

aYyye... That's where we're sleeping... so obviously...

-

So... Keep your PROMISE!

-

... ??! ...... (cold sweat, remembers...)

-

Believe me, if it would save us from this painful situation... I'd gladly you in an inn!

-

Then promise me.

-

That when we get out of here, you will me in an inn~.

-

Whatever! That counted as fake!

-

~Promise or I'll shut up. We'll see if I can stay awake.

-

All right, SHUT UP!!!

-

Oooooh... (falters, legs go wobbly, closes eyes)

-

Alright!!! It's alright, I promise!!!

-

!!! (catastrophized)

-

~~ meeee!

-

(panicked) Yoon-Hee, Yoon-Heeeee, we are not alone!!!

-

Hips! ~In an inn, it was "kind of" obvious from the start~~.

-

(to himself, devastated) aHaa... no, no, no... this can't be...

-

Stop squealing!! ~Primo, you have no choice. Deuzio, you'll be rid of that~~.

-

raHaahhhh...... That's right. (resigns)

-

~That's nothing to do! ~I'll help you besides...

Yoon-Hee grabs Wang Shin's hand, and points it at her s!!!

-

Holala!!! (releases his hand at once) Calm down, calm down!

-

~Oops, I got a little carried away.

-

Let's start-- gently! Hold out your arm.

Yoon-Hee rolls up her sleeve completely and holds out her arm.
Wang Shin grabs her bare forearm, his hand weighing it.
Yoon-Hee's arm is very thick, very round.
Then his fingers go up little by little to the upper arm.
Very abundant flesh, quite firm, even if it hangs a little.

-

(!!!) ... (unexpected) ... It's soft, it's warm, it's flabby.

-

... (smiles stupidly, enjoys the massage)

He palpates the upper arm, where it's plumpest.
Some costumers look on disapprovingly.

-

Is it the alcohol or what?

-

... ?? (on cloud nine)

-

(realizes, in a low voice) More pleasant to touch than other women?!

-

... ?!! (surprised, don't hear that often)

-

!! (realizes, remembers...)

-

Gna gna gna... "he loves her for her inner beauty". I can't take this crap anymore.

-

Would Wang Shin really find her pretty?

Intrigued, Wang Shin takes her underarm with his full hands, gently pressing his fingers in.

-

~~I feel like a ham being picked out on the stall.

Wang Shin drops her arm and goes to sit next to Yoon-Hee.

-

(curious) And here, can I? (points to her hip)

-

(smiling) Gooo ahead, that's why we're here.

He grabs her hip with his fingers.

-

(fidgets) Hi hi! Not like that, it tickles! ... Take it easy--but firmly!

-

Uhu... (science experiment to be conducted with precision)

He wraps his hand around her hip and feels her flesh firmly.

-

(!!) Wow. (pleasure in a flash)

Customers and waiters look at them scandalized.

-

I don't want to say anything inappropriate, but ... ... It's very comfortable. With Dame Cha, I could feel the bones quickly.

-

~Don't compare me to your ex-conquests, please.

Wang Shin s her hip lower, firmly.

-

(groans) Oooh YES. (in a low voice) It's really nice... ... and also ... very exciting ...

-

(worried, this is going too far) ... (leaves his hand resting motionless)

-

... Just a little longer ... And you will be free of your promise... (releases her arm to give him more room)

-

... (satisfied, soon to be finished, palpates her again)

SLOW MOTION:

:

He's so cute, and so close.

Yoon-Hee places her freed arm around Wang Shin's neck.

:

I really want to...

She lets her arm rest on his shoulder.

:

Should I take the initiative?

Yoon-Hee tilts her head towards Wang Shin.

:

One second! Wang Shin is very traditional... He thinks the man should take the initiative. Or else...?

She approaches her face to his, slowly...

:

If I pretended to take the initiative slowly enough... ... That would force him to take the initiative!

:

(??!) She's not actually... ? (stop touching her)

Yoon-Hee wraps her plump arm around his neck more tenderly.

:

(!!!) Yes!!! ... But it's up to the man to take the initiative!!! Only effeminate brothel offspring don't take the initiative!

:

And if he doesn't take the initiative, he'll have had time, and so... ... I'd have no qualms about really taking the initiative!

Yoon-Hee lifts her chin sensuously, her face closer, slowly...

:

In any case, he's mine! Hi hi!

:

Do I like her? No? Yes? No, this question is not even asked! Impossible, she is a princess! Or maybe? But why is she in such a hurry?!

Yoon-Hee rounds her lips, keeping her eyes open, closer...

:

Damnation!! This infernal princess is burning like an ember. What to do? Take the initiative or not? If I reject her, regret later?

Yoon-hee brings her face closer and closer to Wang Shin's...

:

(??!) BoBom-BoBom (beating heart) No joke. It's the pressure. Just that! One thing for sure. In no way can I let her take the initiative!!!

Eyes open. Yoon-hee's mouth a few inches away from Wang Shin's...

:

(panic) So, I take the initiative or not? Quick! I have to decide! Hurry up! Damn it! Quick! The initiative! Haste! ! Now!

BONK!!!! The waiter separates Wang Shin and Yoon-Hee, by putting two mugs on the table between them.

-

(speaking loudly) Ladies and gentlemen, your drinks!!!

-

!!!

-

!!!

-

(outraged) There are rooms for that!!

PAF! Wang Shin slaps both his hands on the table, staring ahead, petrified.
In shock, he exhales once, as if after a punch in the stomach.
He takes his beer mug and... Splash!!, empties it on his head!!!

-

I guess you want another one...? (returns to his kitchen, annoyed)

Yoon-Hee stares ahead, with the same expression as Wang Shin.
She raises her beer mug, ready to spill it on her head. But--
Suddenly furious, Splash!!, she empties the mug on Wang Shin's head!

-

(!!) Come on Yoon-Hee!! I'm soaked now!!

-

(angry) Next time, it's up to you to convince me to promise!! ... Promise to let me be d!!!

She gets up, takes two steps toward the inn, but--
Sudden rage, she returns, quickly takes Wang Shin's head with both hands and--
SMACK! She gives him a big smack on the mouth, brief and brutal!!!

-

!!

Without waiting, she rushes towards the rooms of the inn, furious and disappointed.

Yeon-Joo's car going to the suburbs.

Kang Chul is driving, Yeon-Joo in the front and Do-Yoon in the back.

-

I think I've got a match with actress Han Hyo-Joo...

-

(!!) Hyung, you won't fall in love with a woman who looks just like mine?!

-

OoOh, not that much~.

-

It's true that it would be a bit twisted.

-

No more twisted than a man marrying his creator's daughter!

-

(!) Tsss...

-

Hyung, you like that kind of pretentious, annoying woman?!

-

That's not my impression at all. She has a lot of class, charm, and seriousness.

-

No offense, Yeon-Joo...

-

I don't see what you have against crazy, eccentric women.

-

Tsss... Let's talk about something else...

A silence...

-

President Kang, how did you convince Ren-Bo?

Kang Chul does not answer, keeping it for himself, but remembers...

-

(shouts) Don't you know the difference between a writer and a drawer?!

-

(shouts) I said I wouldn't listen to you! (plugs her ear)

Kang Chul takes her hands out of her ears.
FLIP-FLAP! A wings flap and she escapes to the other end of the room.
Voooshh, Crash Cling!!, The blast from the wings throws objects, breaking against the wall or falling.

-

(shouts) Behave rationally, damn it!!!

-

(puts fingers in her ears) I don't hear anything! I don't hear anything!

~

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

-

(fed up, yells) Hyo-Joo, stop pissing me off!!! Go back to painting your nails under your sunshade!

~

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

Kang Chul opens the door narrowly, chasing Ren-Bo's hands trying to grab 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 Soo-Bong's job to explain! 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! locks it.
Taking advantage that he turned his back--
FLIP-FLAP! Ren-Bo reaches the window with a wings flap.
She opens it! Kang Chul, !!!, he rushes to her as she goes out the window!
FLIP-FLAP! She flies into the air, but--
Kang Chul grabs her legs!!!
FLAP-FLAP-FLAP! She flaps her wings harder.

-

!!! (frightened and surprised by the pulling power)

He doesn't let go of her, but loses his grip, about to topple into the void.

-

(screams) YOU WANT ME DEAD?!

-

!!! (afraid of killing someone)

Ren-Bo flaps her wings backwards--
She is rushed into the room by Kang Chul's pull, and he falls backwards.

-

... (distressed, feels trapped)

Kang Chul gets up and takes the bag brought by Yeon-Joo.

-

Now listen to me!! (opens the bag and spills the contents)

Vlop-vlop-vlop... All 35 volumes of "W" fall on the floor next to the bed.

-

... ?! (looks at the covers, then Kang Chul, then the covers)

-

...

-

Is that... is that you?!

-

Yes!! Like you I am the main character of a manhwa.

-

... !

-

No one else can understand what you are going through so well.

Intimidated and curious, Ren-Bo takes a manhwa.
She quickly turns the pages, and--

-

(stunned, terrible) This is... this is horrible.

This is the double page where Kang Chul finds his entire family murdered.

-

Knowing that the author did this drove me to extreme error.

Kang Chul picks up volume 34, and hands it to her, open to this page:
Kang Chul shoots a handgun into Oh Sung-Moo's heart.

-

(looks at the manhwa) ... (frightened, looks at Kang Chul)

-

Don't be afraid. It's to make you understand that I'm over it.

-

... (calms down)

-

If I have succeeded after so many dramas, you must succeed too. And not to repeat my mistakes!

-

(sad) Why... why did you have to be so violent?

-

And you, why are you so angry with Soo-Bong, when he has nothing to blame?

Kang Chul picks up volume 35 and shows her a page:
Kang Chul is walking Oh Sung-Moo on his back in a hospital.

-

We finally forgave each other. I'm even married to his daughter.

-

... (coming to her senses, upset)

-

You, who are so nice, can't even do that?

-

(ashamed) ...

-

You have no idea what Soo-Bong has gone through for you.

-

(regretful) ...

{FLASHBACK INSERT, "W" - Soo-Bong exhausted fighting with Do-Yoon.}

-

3 months of martial arts with the most demanding teacher ever.

{FLASHBACK INSERT, Ep 08 - Publisher's Park office (day).}

-

You're just dirty thieves!

-

(shouting) Rubbish!

-

Broke up with the writer who conceived your story.

-

(tears) ...

{FLASHBACK INSERT, Ep12 - Soo-Bong draws Mr. Green Hands on his tablet.}

-

Worrying relentlessly, doing everything possible to help you...

{MANHWA INSERT, Ep13 - Jin In-Jin's henchman shoots Soo-Bong.}

-

... even risking his life and getting shot.

{MANHWA INSERT, Ep13 - Ren-Bo mummified, her hand on Soo-Bong's cheek, "END".}

-

And finally... frozen in your world, supposedly lost for eternity.

-

(acute crying fit) Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo ....

Pavilions, gardens, courtyards, ponds. Little color and high contrast.

Yoon-Hee and Wang Shin arrive on horseback.
They pass a line of people and carts waiting at the checkpoint.
As soon as the guards see them, they panic. One of them enters the palace and--
Puuuuuw. He blows a warning horn.

Near the entrance, carts, merchandise reception.
Yoon-Hee and Wang Shin enter, their horses at man's pace.
The guards and servants look at them agitated, surprised or praying to the sky with gratitude.
They dismount.

-

Why are they all freaking out like that?

-

Princess Yoon-Hee, may I remind you that you have been away for a week?

-

And that a well-educated princess doesn't make this kind of irresponsible runaway?

-

(remembers) Aaah, that's right... I'm supposed to live confined here. I'm gonna have to find a way to avoid that....

-

... !!

:

(concerned) How long am I going to be stuck here? ... In this world.

-

(sees an officer running at them) For now, let's take advantage of the situation.

-

(dismayed, bends down to salute officially) Gongju, his majesty the King was worried sick!

-

Where have you been, Gonngjuuu? (Gongju = Princess)

Yoon-Hee speaks with ridiculous haughty gestures.

-

Inform my father the King, that I have been kidnapped by the Queen of Darkness...

-

... !! (frightened)

(dismayed by her weird attitude)

-

... And that I owe my survival to this valiant warrior. (presents Wang Shin with her hand)

(smiles proudly)

(in shock, looks at Wang Shin with suspicion)

-

Officer!!!

Clac! The officer snaps to attention.

-

Who is the chief of police now?

-

Nobody Gongju. We haven't found a replacement for Wang Il-Do yet.

-

Is Lady Cha at the palace?

-

No Gongju, we haven't seen her for a week.

-

Of course, she is the Queen of Darkness! (bossy) Issue an official search notice immediately!!

-

... !!! (stunned)

-

At last, tell Intendant Han to prepare the official papers so that Wang Shin here can be incorporated in the palace.

-

Understood, Gongju!

-

And hurry!!!

The officer runs away.

-

Princess, you amaze me.

-

(scoffing) Oooh, a compliment... Will that be enough to let you me again?!

-

hhhahh... (disillusioned) What a stupid idea to compliment you...

Four servants come and put a palanquin next to Yoon-hee.

-

Gongju, your vehicle is ready!

-

Huh?!

-

?? (head bowed)

-

Don't be ridiculous, I'm not sitting in that to go 100 meters!

-

... ?! (straightens head, dumbfounded)

-

(?) ... (doesn't understand, mumbles) Why are they so weird these--

-

!!! (remembers!!)

A few months ago...

-

(inveighs at the servants) Is this for today or tomorrow?!

-

Are you sure, Gongju? It's only 50 meters away...

-

I don't feel like walking!

The servant chief waves, and four servants come with a palanquin.

A few weeks ago...

-

Gongju, it's just the house across the street!

-

I feel so tired...

-

But...

-

The palanquin!! And stop arguing!!!

-

What a shame...

-

??!

:

The worst... With the memories of Dong Hee stuck in my mind... ... I feel ashamed of myself.

-

What... what are we doing, Gongju?

-

I'd be sorry to have bothered you for nothing.

-

(points to Wang Shin) You, climb in this.

-

What? Me? What the hell!

-

~~Gongjuuu... (pointing out his incivility)

-

Why should I go up in this junk?

-

You can keep my things, I'm tired of carrying this. (dangles her bag)

-

... !!

-

And because of the horse, my is too soggy to sit. (drops her bag, grabs Wang Shin, pushes him in)

-

??!

-

... !!! But... but... (resists, but can't do much)

-

(forcing him to get on) Come on, hop-hop-hop, no protests!

Once he's on board, Yoon-Hee picks up her bag and throws it at him.

-

!!! (POF, receives the bag in the arms)

Servants carry the palanquin at Yoon-Hee's walking pace.
Wang Shin is inside with the curtain open.

-

Aaah, I would need a massage on my ...

-

(!!) You wouldn't want me to...?

-

Don't dream!

-

(annoyed) aHAaaahh... How much longer will you be resentful of me, about that inn?

-

As ing long as it takes for you to take a ing initiative!

-

(!!!) Do you have to be so rude?! And first, I've never failed to take initiative!!!

-

(in a low voice) You were the one who kissed me by surprise. Again!

-

(speaking loudly) You call that a kiss? I call it wiping my lips of the beer vomit on them.

-

Stop yelling, everyone can hear, damn it!

-

Here we go, plus you don't assume anything.

-

Assume what?!

-

Groping a fat turkey in a public place.

-

However, we will have to be discreet.

Wang Shin s her hip lower, firmly.

-

(groans) Oooh YES. (in a low voice) It's really nice... ... and also... very exciting...

Customers and waiters look at them scandalized.

-

(angry, low voice) Shut your damn mouth, Princess, people will get the wrong idea!

-

Oh boy, you'd be stuck, then!

-

Who knows? I could ask the King to choose you as a husband? Maybe he'd be happy? I've turned down the other suitors.

-

?!!

-

But do I want a husband - who can't have fun - who has small arms - and - who can't take an initiative.

-

(pissed off) It's a good thing you put me in here, after all--

Sfluff!, Wang Shin closes the curtain violently, and makes Yoon-Hee disappear from his sight.

The officer (the one of the gate) runs to Yoon-Hee with Intendant Han.
She interrupts her walk, while the palanquin continues to move.

-

(bends to greet) Gonngjuuu, this is a miracle!

Intendant Han does not move an inch. Frozen. Blank stare.

-

Looks like you finally got unstuck?!

-

... ?!!

-

Gongju, Intendant Han has Wang Shin's incorporation decree.

-

That was pretty fast...

-

It's a standard document, just the name to complete.

-

Put your seal on it, please, Gonngjuuu. (holds out the document)

-

(takes out a princely seal from her pocket) I guess it's this stuff...

She reads the document, then applies her seal to it.
She hands the paper to Intendant Han, and--
Zoop! The paper is snatched from her hands!!!
A little boy runs off with it, laughing.

-

Prince Sim-San!!!

-

!!! ... (assaulted by a memory)

A few months ago...
Princess Dong pours a chemical into a vial.

-

(stressed, sweating) ... gently, it could explode.

BOOM!!!, an explosion, but not the vial.

-

!!! (startled, panicked, heart pounding)

On the floor, a big smoking firecracker...

-

AH AH AH! (with lighter in hand)

-

That spoiled little brat!

-

Officer, help us catch him!!!

-

Yes, Gongju.

-

Feel free to use your bow!

-

Gonngjuuu!

Yoon-Hee, the officer, and Intendant Han go after the bratty prince Sim-San.

Clop-Clop. The palanquin is shaken, as the carriers descend a staircase.
In the palanquin, Wang Shin is jostled.
Bompf. Yoon-Hee's bag falls from his lap.
Poorly closed, things from the bag scatter on the floor.

-

(annoyed) Couldn't she have closed it properly?!

Wang Shin bends down to pick up her things and...
He puts his hand on a white bra, large size.
Amazed, he dangles it in front of him.

-

(whistles admiringly) Pfwiiii. (smiles, nods) There's room for ten in there.

-

(touches cup) Plus it's elastic, in case of an extra guest...

~

My beloved little daughter !!!!!

Sfluff! The KING opens the curtain of the palanquin!!!

-

!!! (dangling the big bra)

-

!!! (sees Wang Shin dangling it, the bra, Wang Shin)

-

... (cold sweat, trembling hand, trembling bra)

-

... (in shock)

The two men look at each other, round eyes, mouths agape...

Yeon-Joo's car is driving towards Sung-Moo's neighborhood.
...vbom vbom vbom vbom... A dull thumping resounds in the air.

-

I hope they haven't made too much of a mess...

They hear the thumping, coming from far away.
...vbom vbom vbom vbom...

-

Is there a stadium that holds concerts around here?

-

No.

The car drives through the streets with familiar houses.
...Bom Bom Bom Bom... The beat is sharper and stronger.

As the car approaches, the bass drum beats get louder and louder.
...Bom! Bom! Bom! Bom!...

-

It is not what I think?!

The car parks in front of Sung-Moo's house.
... BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! ... It's deafening!
A rhythm of hallucinating space techno screams in the neighborhood...
... coming from Sung-Moo's house!

... BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! ...
In the street, disgruntled neighbors, fingers in their ears.
A policeman rings the doorbell, without success.
They get out of the car.

-

(to the policeman) We'll take care of it.

... BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! BOM!! ...

-

(yells) WHAT?

-

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT!

-

IS THIS YOUR HOUSE?

-

YES, IT'S MY UNRULY NIECE WHO'S MAKING A MESS!

-

TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT YOU WON'T ESCAPE A FINE!

-

That's okay, I'll pay!

-

WHAT?

-

I WILL PAY!

Kang Chul opens the gate and enters.
He sees a window of the house close, BOM! BOM! BO--, the music stops.
The decoration of the garden has changed...

Kang Chul takes two steps into the alley, but stunned--

-

!!

The shed comes from the area of the future vegetable garden, replaced by a large flower bed.
The shed heads towards the front door! Carried by someone hiding behind.

-

... !!!

The shed falls to the ground, hiding someone entering the house.
Kang Chul rushes to the front door.

The place is invaded by strange, opaques and giant soap bubbles.
Kang Chul, ...?!!, he sees a massive silhouette, BROM!, falling into the bubbles.
He rushes towards the intruder, and ziiiiip!!, he slips and falls!!!

Bompff! His fall is softened by a big cushion, or rather--
Kang Chul, !!!, he is on a huge teddy bear, more than two meters tall.
Kang Chul gets up and... the bear straightens his head!!!--
And talks!!!

-

Are you okay, sir?

-

... !!! (appalled, backs away)
