W two worlds - Season 2 - four worlds (US)


EPISODE 4



#1. Road (night).

Yeon-Joo's car moves along a suburban road.



#2. In Yeon-Joo's car (night).

Yeon-Joo drives, while Kang Chul reads "Butterfly Girl" on his smartphone.

Kang Chul scrolls the manhwa, from the most recent episode.
He stops on the image showing Fairy Spark on Ren-Bo's hand.

- Could Soo-Bong really have drawn this?
- Same graphic style, and he is attached to the character enough to consider God knows what.
- When "W" was autonomous, it perfectly mimicked your father's style.
- Is there really a chance it could happen again?
- To find out, I need to analyze the story.
- Remind me of the main lines of "Butterfly Girl".
- The main character is the archetype of the pure and innocent girl.

Portrait of Ren-Bo, on Kang Chul's smartphone.

Zoom on the portrait, seen in a frontal way, and...



#3. "Butterfly Girl" - Village, Street (day).

... Ren-Bo dissolves from "Image" to "Real", with a morphing effect, due to the non realistic drawing.

In the colorful world of "Butterfly Girl", beneath the midday sun...

Soo-Bong is half lying on the ground, his head next to the gutter.
Ren-Bo looks at him, curious, indecisive. Pouting lips!

- Ren-Bo...

Soo-Bong stands up, unable to take his eyes off Ren-Bo.

- You know my name?
: The Manhwa! I entered the manhwa, like Yeon-Joo!
: What to do? (afraid)
: Try to be natural.
Avoid doing nonsense, unlike Yeon-Joo.
- ... ("is it so scary to answer?")
- I... I'm not from the neighborhood.
- I heard about you, and I really wanted to see you.
- So, there you are, the famous girl with butterfly wings...
: That's it! It's flawless, script-wise!
- ... ("what's the point of this weirdo?")
- You look so wonderful... Wow!
- Uh, I mean.... Your wings... your wings are beautiful, it's amazing.
- (unbelievable) My wings... beautiful?
: Goof!



#4. "Real World" - In Yeon-Joo's car (night).

{MANHWA INSERT - Ren-Bo's birth.}
¤ A frightened midwife holds Ren-Bo, a newborn with butterfly wings.
¤ Baby Ren-Bo smiles, her eyes like laughing crescents. Stars all around.

~ Ren-Bo had the misfortune to be born with huge butterfly wings.

{MANHWA INSERT - Ren-Bo's childhood.}
¤ Schoolgirl Ren-Bo. Some children pours flour on her head and wings.
¤ In the toilet, a y schoolgirl hangs a rag on her back.

~ Because of this, she has been a pariah all her life, a target of all persecution.

- The kind who spends her life crying and instantly turns cheerful again.
- Easy to cheer up, when you can fly.
- ... ??!
- She CAN'T fly!!
Her wings are useless, just a malformation.
- ... !!!
- Yet, even as a malformation, her wings are beautiful.
- That's true, but it's not the way the script goes.
- ... ("what's that depressing thing?")



#5. "Butterfly Girl" - Village, Street (day).

- Do you think my wings are wonderful, Ajusshi? Really?
: I should do like everybody here and say it's an abomination!
- I really had no idea... how beautiful your wings could be once real.
- Once real? Huh?
- You are telling a bit weird things, Ajusshi.
: Why can't I say something consistent?
: I'd better create a diversion.
- (impatient) Hello? Ajusshi?
- Ah! I'm still too young to be called Ajusshi.
- How old are you?
: It works! Good thing she has a bird's brain!
- Barely 29 years old.



#6. "Real World" - In Yeon-Joo's car (night).

- Ren-Bo wishes to get rid of her wings, to live without suffering injustice.
- Haven't surgeons tried to amputate her?

{MANHWA INSERT - Hospital.}
¤ A doctor shows a X-ray photo: Child with butterfly wings.
¤ Ren-Bo's parents are convinced: "Do whatever it takes, we trust you".
¤ Child Ren-Bo, pleading and frightened. Blue wings and vertical lines.

~ Her parents wanted her to be operated on by the best surgeons.
- Why did they fail?

Yeon-Joo becomes serious and sad. She pauses briefly.
Although she's driving the car, she can't help but lower her head.

- Ren-Bo's wings are directly connected to her heart.
- ... !!!
- No surgeon can find a method without it killing her.

{MANHWA INSERT - Hospital.}
¤ Ren-Bo is lying on a stretcher, unconscious. Fairy Spark, sad, stuck to her face.
¤ A surgeon full of compassion: "The operation is impossible".
¤ The parents of Ren-Bo are dismayed, appalled.
¤ The chief surgeon, serious, with a big text bubble:
"Ren-Bo's wings are directly connected to her heart."

- And so she is doomed to live without hope.
- Until she meets Park Sin-Moo, a student in her class who falls in love with her.

Sin-Moo's drawing in high school, on Kang Chul's smartphone.

Zoom in on Sin-Moo's portrait, seen in a frontal way, and...

{ANIMATION INSERT - Morphing effect, due to the non realistic drawing.}
... Sin-Moo goes from "image" to "real" for a short while.

~ Yes, the main romance of the story.

- How do they get closer to each other?

{MANHWA INSERT - High school garden.}
¤ Sin-Moo speaks to Ren-Bo. Only half of his text is visible:
"Promise me to forget..."
¤ Ren-Bo is overwhelmed. A small dark cloud next to her face.

~ Park Sin-Moo promises her that he will become the greatest surgeon ever.

{MANHWA INSERT - Surgical room.}
¤ Ren-Bo adult, unconscious on the operating table, wings up.
¤ Surgeon Sin-Moo, eyes glistening with satisfaction, a scalpel in hand.

~ That eventually, he will be able to operate on her without risk!

- He succeeds a few years later.
They get married, and the manhwa ends.
- Yes, Ren-Bo is then 26 years old.



#7. "Butterfly Girl" - Village, Street (day).

- 29 years old ?
(pensive, doubtful)

Ren-Bo takes the time to examine Soo-Bong from every angle.

Soo-Bong also examines Ren-Bo, then the surrounding scenery, with disbelief.

: By the way, she looks younger than 26.
: Her wings... she shouldn't have them anymore.
- Dressed in a suit, you look a bit older...
: This place... this is not the end scene!
: Why I landed here?
- ... ("what's bugging him again?)"
: Yeon-Joo always landed where the manhwa was set...
: ... at the same time as--
: The Time!
- Say, aren't you a little dreamy?
- Sorry. Hmm...
- And you, Ren-Bo, how old are you?
- I am 20 years old.
: Huh?!!! What the hell is this crazy thing?!
: Assuming that travelling in a manhwa is not crazy enough in itself...
- Besides that, why were your head in the gutter?
- I... I was walking around... and... and...
... and unfortunately I stepped on my shoelace.
- That's why I stupidly fell here...
And yes, that's it......
- ... (suspicious)
- ... (dumb)
- How did you manage to walk on your shoelace while wearing slippers?

Soo-Bong opens his eyes wide, and looks at his feet.

- ... !!!

Soo-Bong wears big, ridiculous slippers.

{RECALL INSERT - Sung-Moo's Entrance (night).}
Drunk, Soo-Bong takes off his shoes and puts on wacky slippers.

- (annoyed) I feel like you are making fun of me, saying impossible things!
- I'm just distracted...
I probably forgot to put my shoes on, when I got out.

Ren-Bo's wings change colour from green to red.

She is angry, lips contracted.

- That's enough to say nonsense!!!!!
- I saw you appear out of nowhere, like a ghost teleporting!

Soo-Bong has a face of a plane crash.

- (gaping mouth) Aaaaah.
: How can it go so far in a spin, right from the start?
: Quick, quick, I have to say something, anything!
- I... I am... uh... I'm some kind of magician!
- And I prefer not to let anyone know...
: No, not that! Raaah!

Ren-Bo's wings turn green again.

- Mmmh, it's true you're dressed like a magician.
This could be realistic...
- Huh?
- Yes, yes, it is true!
- I can appear and disappear, like Fairy Spark!
- You know Fairy Spark?!!!
- But... how?
: (gaping eyes and mouth) She is the only one who can see her!
: No one knows if Fairy Spark exists, or if Ren-Bo has a fart on her helmet.
: Even writer Jang Soo-Bin never specified the subject.
: I'm definitively screwed!
: (whiney grin) Inside my own manhwa...



#8. "Real World" - Sung-Moo's Living room (night).

Soo-Bin enters.

- Soo-Bong?

No one in the room.

- Are you here?

She scans the exits, empty, then approaches the tablet.

- I have to find a way to rectify this myself.

She takes an electronic stylus from a pot and turns it on.
The tablet displays an image of Ren-Bo with green wings, examining something.

Soo-Bin clicks the "new" button, the tablet displays a blank page.
She draws a few lines, but nothing prints on the screen.

- Grrr, why doesn't it work? (shakes the stylus)

Her gaze is drawn to the tablet, which we can't see.
Her eyes slowly enlarge in horror.

- ... !?!! (terrified)
- Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!



#9. "Butterfly Girl" - Village, Street (day).

- I have never told anyone about Fairy Spark.
- How could you know her?
: Too bad, I'll do like Yeon-Joo...
: Kick in the sidelines!
- There is an explanation.
- But I can't tell you about it now.
- We don't know each other well enough yet.
- Is that a secret?
- Exactly.

Ren-Bo's wings turn yellow and orange.
She starts making Aegyo. (Aegyo = Infantile and adorable expressions)

- What is it? (pats his chest)
- Come on, tell me.
- I can't do that now.
- So tell me your name. You know mine well!
- Park Soo-Bong.
- That's it, Soo-Bong!
Now we know each other well enough!
- So what's your secret?
- Mmh? (chases him left)
- Mmh? (chases him right)

: What a damn idea to create her stubborn to the last degree!
- Come on, Soo-Bong, I won't tell anyone...
: You bet, no one has ever kept a secret in this manhwa!
- ... not even to Fairy Spark.
- No, no and no!
- ... (cute discontent)
: (he looks away, to seem inflexible, but mostly because...)
If she keeps playing cute, I'm going to crack!
: To think there are fools saying it doesn't work.
: They have never met a girl like her... (looks tenderly at her)
- Tell meeee... (pulls his sleeve)
- ... OPPA Soo-Bong! (familiar language)
: I crack!!!!! (prays to the sky)



#10. "Real World" - In Yeon-Joo's car (night).

- What does Fairy Spark think about their love story?
- Odd, because she usually always helps Ren-Bo.

{MANHWA INSERT - Ren-Bo's bedroom.}
¤ Ren-Bo is excited, light bubbles in her eyes, hearts around her.
¤ Fairy Spark looks at her, worried and helpless. A big drop of sweat in the air.

~ Yet Spark seems jealous or reluctant about it.

- Soo-Bong was right to trust Jang Soo-Bin, the script is well constructed.
- (all happy, so obvious) Yes, the universe is fanciful, the starting point unreal, and the story against the flow, but it's believable!
- It's not just counter-intuitive.
- ... ??
- There is a major problem!



#11. "Butterfly Girl" - Village, Street (day).

PLUFF! A little light puff happens in front of Ren-Bo.

- Oh !

The light fades, revealing FAIRY SPARK.

Ren-Bo notices that Soo-Bong is looking at the little fairy.

- (funny vengeful) There's no more doubt you can see her, now!
- What is it, Fairy Spark?
- There are people who want to hurt you, Ren-Bo.
- You have to go hide.
: Damn it! I remember everything!

{MANHWA INSERT - Village street.}
¤ High school kids on motorcycles, a girl on the back of each guy.
¤ Sadistic girls, holding markers and spray paint cans.

~ While on the road to go home, Ren-Bo got caught.

¤ Scared Ren-Bo, with obscenities painted on her blue wings.
¤ A es holds a razor. Ren-Bo's terrified face reflects in the razor.

~ Slashing her wings can be deadly for her.

¤ A blue sports car pulls up in a hurry, between Ren-Bo and the girls.
¤ Sin-Moo opens the car door, beckoning Ren-Bo to get in.

~ It was close to second volume's ending...

- Go home quickly, Ren-Bo.
- No, she won't have time!
: Better to fix this situation from the start.
- Ren-Bo, listen to me carefully. You have an important decision to make!
(concentrates)

FLUFF! Fairy Spark disappears in a puff of light.



#12. "Real World" - In Yeon-Joo's car (night).

- Decisions!
- The character's real desire.
- How would she live without being story-driven?
- Gosh! That's just one of my dramaturgy teacher's tips!
- I too know a lot about the art of writing a manhwa!
- Kang Chul the genius touches everything...
- So what is your conclusion?
- I seriously think Butterfly Girl could have woken up as I did.
- But how? This is crazy!
- How could such an absurdity happen again?
- Not enough data to know, but there is a difference between us.
- Apart from being a girl?

{FLASHBACK INSERT, W Ep 03 - Sung-Moo's office (night / day). }
¤ Oh Sung-Moo draws Kang Chul's suicide: a large spray of water in the Han River.
¤ Oh Sung-Moo notices the drawing change : Kang Chul holds on to the parapet.

~ Yes, when I woke up, I just changed a simple event.

- But her case is more complex.
- A dream?

{FLASHBACK INSERT, W Ep 08 - Miracle hotel roof (day) / In Yeon-Joo's car (day)}
¤ Kang Chul drops from the roof, in front of Yeon-Joo sad.
¤ Yeon-Joo draws Kang Chul waking up in the hospital.

~ Like when you went back two months in the manhwa?

- No, that would be too huge.

{FLASHBACK INSERT, Ep 03 - Yeon-Joo's old bedroom (night).}
Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo read "Butterfly Girl" on the computer screen.
Fairy Spark drawing: "Wouldn't you like to make all this a bad dream?"

~ It is possible.

- I had a hard times, but Ren-Bo suffered more, in the long run.
- Who knows what happens, when such a character becomes alive?

On Kang Chul's smartphone, the drawing view tilts frontally, and...



#13. ANIMATION - Manhwa Images.

... the image scrolls, going back in time, faster and faster.
Now unreadable, the manhwa goes back dozens of chapters.
Finally, it settles on a drawing with unrealistic colors.
A turquoise villa, with blue lawn and orange fence.



#14. "Butterfly Girl" - Villa, Front Garden (day).

The villa dissolves from "image" to "real", keeping the same unrealistic colors.

There is nobody here, until...
... Soo-Bong and Ren-Bo's heads protrude from behind the fence, peeking out at the street.
They bow their heads, kneeling behind the fence, out of sight.

- Soo-Bong, I don't feel comfortable here.
- They were going to come too quickly for us to hide elsewhere.

In the distance, we hear rumblings of motorcycles.

- Listen, at the end of the avenue, they're already there!
- I'm afraid.

Tears run down Ren-Bo's cheeks. Her wings turn blue and purple.
Soo-Bong gently patts her on the shoulder, to reassure her.

- Let's stay safe here, everything will be fine.

Fifteen roaring motorcycles parade behind the low wall.
They're all driven by a guy, with a girl in the back.

- Yah! This is where she was spotted.
- She couldn't have flown away!
- Take out the nets.

The motorcycles pass without detecting anything.
Shaken by a wind gust, one of Ren-Bo's wings protrudes from the low wall.
HONK! HONK! The last motorcycle honks.

- Yah! Turn around, everyone! (head turned to Ren-Bo)
- I saw a wingtip protrude here!

All motorcyclists brake and stop.
The watchword quickly spread from one person to another.
The procession turns back.

- (takes a look) They saw us!
(briefly overwhelmed)
- (but reacts quickly) The garden!
- (looks back) Through the back of the house!

Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong run on the blue grass of the garden.



#15. Villa, Back garden (day).

Ren-Bo et Soo-Bong take a side alley, along the wall of the house.
But at the end, the way is blocked by a 3-meter high hedge of purple thuyas trees.
And the adjoining fence consists of a 2.5-meter high metal barrier.

- A dead end.
: We won't get caught so stupidly?
: What to do, what to do?

Soo-Bong turns to the wall of the house.

- Hyung Kang, help!!!
- Why are you screaming on this wall?



#16. "Real World" - Sung-Moo's Street (night).

Yeon-Joo's car brakes harshly in front of the house's gate.



#17. Sung-Moo's Living room (night).

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo rush in.

- Soo-Bong?
- Oh ! (see Soo-Bin, passed out on the floor)

Yeon-Joo kneels down to examine her.

- Did she hurt herself?
- A contusion to the head, but she doesn't bleed.
- This should be fine.
- What could have happened to her?
- I move her to the sofa.

Kang Chul carries Soo-Bin to the sofa.
Yeon-Joo goes in front of the tablet, displaying a blank image.
She reaches for the tablet, but stops her movement, her eyes widening!

- Chul!!!!!

Kang Chul dumps Soo-Bin into the sofa and comes in hasty.
On the tablet, black lines and colored areas come together to form a drawing.

- It... it draws itself!
- When she saw that, she fainted.

The drawing becomes a metal wall, trees behind it, and continues to shape up...

- What about Soo-Bong?
- There!

The tablet displays Soo-Bong calling for help, facing the wall.

- Hyung Kang, help!!!
- Soo-Bong!
He was dragged inside!
- He's already in trouble.
- He know this message can reach you by now?

{RECALL INSERT, W Ep 14 - Warehouse (night) / Hospital corridor (day).}
¤ Tied to a chair, Kang Chul speaks into the void.
¤ On his smartphone, Soo-Bong sees Kang Chul's words in his text bubble.

~ Theoretically, you have to wait until the chapter ends.
I had used this trick when I was prisoner of Han Chul-Oh.

- What can we do to help him? To draw?
- Try.

Yeon-Joo takes the electronic stylus on the table.
She draws a few lines but quickly...
The drawing fades and is replaced by another one.

- No, it doesn't work.
- It changes too fast, as if time passes more quickly there.
- Why can we see it live, before it's published?

{FLASHBACK INSERT, W Ep 2 - Sung-Moo's office (night).}
Oh Sung-Moo, next to his tablet, takes a break while drinking a glass of whiskey.

On the tablet, the drawing of Kang Chul's hospital room materializes by itself.

~ It should be possible on the author's tablet.
It also happened to Oh Sung-Moo.

- This was triggered when his story contradicted the hero's will.
- This means that...
- Two years after "W"... a new manhwa came to life!
- And Ren-Bo, its heroine, wants to decide her own destiny...



#18. "Butterfly Girl" - Villa, Back garden (day).

Soo-Bong looks at the top of the purple thuya hedge.

- We'll never be able to climb that!

- They know we're here.
- Soo-Bong, there is no turning back.
- I know how to do it!
- Ren-Bo, you could fly away, and go to the other side.
- It doesn't matter if they catch me.
: Especially since I am invulnerable here.
: Hoping that this theory is still valid.
- I can't, Soo-Bong.
- My wings are unable to make me fly.
- I can just make a little wind, like a fan.
: Of course it's impossible. What did I expect?
: To ensure that her wings are only a burden, the script made them useless.
: Wait...



#19. RECALL - Soo-Bin's workshop (day).

Several months ago...

Soo-Bong shows a draft of Ren-Bo to Soo-Bin.

- Seonsaingnim, why does the character have wings and can't use them?
- It's obvious. If she could use her wings, she would love them. But the romance with Park Sin-Moo requires she wishes to amputate her wings.
- Okay, but in the absolute, is she able to fly or not?
- I don't know, who cares about that?
It's a Geek question, really!
- Why are you asking me that?
- This could be a great twist!



#20. Villa, Back garden (day).

(downcast, tears flowing)
: No one has definitively determined whether or not she can fly...
: In the story, Soo-Bin forbids her to fly, but her true potential is unknown.
- Ren-Bo, you can do it!
- I assure you that you can fly!
- Soo-Bong, I would have loved it so much, but it's impossible.
- That's what people always wanted you to believe, but it's wrong.
- Make me believe it?
- You just don't have the right technique, nothing more!
- ... (sighs)
: What would be the trick? That she believes it?
: No, she can't believe it. And I don't know any technique.
: Or is it up to me to define it?
- Soo-Bong, they're coming...
: Insects have to flap their wings at a very high frequency to fly, but humans cannot perform such jerky movements.
: The closest controlled movement to it should be found.
: Voluntary tremors!
- Ren-Bo, you have to force yourself to shake.
Like when we play video games on arcade terminals.
- On a Shoot-them-up with manual shooting, you have to shake your finger with the elbow jerk to shoot faster.

Soo-Bong demonstrates the gesture on a garden table.

- Tac-tac-tac-tac-tac. Just like that, you see?
- You have to do the same, but with your wings!
- I don't play these kinds of games.
- I prefer interactive romances.
: Me and my Geek advice... Let's make it easier.
- Then clashes your teeth, thanks to a voluntary jaw cramp.
- Clac-clac-clac-clac-clac. Like a laughing skeleton.

Ren-Bo tries in vain to bite her teeth out.

- clac.... tic... tloc...


- So, we have fun, crazy people?

Thirty high school students come down the side aisle.
Some have hair of various bright colors.
They block any retreat to the front of the villa.

- These idiots put themselves in a trap.
- Yah, girls, come on!
- And don't forget the hardware stuff.

Soo-Bong gives himself a responsible adult stature, and protects Ren-Bo.

- Ki... Kids, it's okay now, go home.
- This is an Ajusshi asking you!

The high-school leader is strong and a head taller than Soo-Bong.

He comes close to Soo-Bong, as if he was going to kiss him.

- Or else?
- ...
- What do you mean "else"? You--

BONK! He sends a header into Soo-Bong's face, and blows his nose off.
Then he grabs Soo-Bong by the collar, and...
SVIZZ!, he sends him flying against the wall, like a piece of straw.
Soo-Bong ends up spread out on the blue grass.

: Crap, getting my kicked by a kid!
: And it hurts like hell!
: (touches his nostrils) Nevertheless, it's true that my nose doesn't bleed.

Soo-Bong gets up, and...



#21. Villa, Back garden (day).

... FREEZZ!!! A shrill sound from nowhere.
A supernatural phenomenon takes place...
A high school student walking, unsteadily balanced, doesn't put his foot down.
A bird in flight no longer flaps its wings and is motionless.
Nothing moves except Soo-Bong.

- (stunned) What... what now?
- Time has stopped?!

{FLASHBACK INSERT, W Ep02 - Avenue (day).}
Kang Chul's car is about to hit a truck, makes a jump, and freezes in mid-air.
Everything in the street is still, the truck, the passers-by, the objects in Kang Chul's car.

~ Like when Kang Chul faced the truck? Why?

Soo-Bong squints his eyes, and notices that the bird is not entirely still.
Its wings are flapping, but at an incredibly slow speed. It would take a minute for one flap!

: (calm down) Not really a time stop... Everything is only very slow...
: An unknown phenomenon... to make matters worse...
: The best ultra-slow-motion camera is pitiful in comparison.

Soo-Bong's gaze is drawn downwards.
What he sees appalls him. Fascination and repulsion.

At his feet stands a strange figure, facing the wall.

A male ladybug of 20 cm, standing on two legs, with two arms. MISTER LADYBUG!

This humanized ladybug looks and talks to YOU, as if you were in the wall!
Mr. Ladybug has the same sarcastic, jaded and annoying voice as Byeong-Se's imitation.

- Soo-Bong is still getting scared unnecessarily!
- As you can see, this guy can't even defend himself.
- Soo-Bong is really not a manly hero!
- It doesn't look like he did his military service.
He had to be hidden in an office of switchboard operators...
- Mr... Mister Ladybug!
: Did my first visit here really have to turn ridiculous?



#22. "Real World" - Sung-Moo's Living room (night).

Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul look at the tablet.

- Soo-Bong should be safe. However, Ren-Bo is at high risk.
- It weighs me so much, if only we could do something...
- This small character, the talking Ladybug...
- Why do it feels like he's talking to us?

On the tablet, picture of Mr. Ladybug, on the blue grass.

- (jaded) Oh, that! It's Mr. Ladybug, one of the comical characters.

{MANHWA INSERT - Ren-Bo and Mister Ladybug.}
¤ Ren-Bo cries, while watering the lawn with a hose. Mr. Ladybug is standing on it.
His speech bubble: "She cries so much that there's no point in watering."
¤ Ren-Bo yawns. In the foreground, Mr. Ladybug holds a sign with "TO BE CONTINUED".
His speech bubble: "Come back when she's awake!"

~ He appears to ironically punctuate some actions.
He also comments the chapter beginnings or endings.

- And sometimes he walks around in the backgrounds, performing offbeat gags.
- Can other characters see him, or talk to him?
- No, this character breaks the 4th wall, and speaks to the reader.
- I see, a humorous and current version of the ancient choir.
- Huh?
- Original, but contradictory for a melodramatic story.
- Jang Soo-Bin wanted a touch of humor, to achieve a tension-release effect.

{FLASHBACK INSERT, Ep 03 - Nightbar, Lounge (night).}
Byeong-Se grimaces, while imitating Mr. Ladybug.

~ Since she isn't good at writing jokes, she entrusted this to Ji Byeong-Se, the funny guy you saw at the party.

- I will study this in more detail soon.
- I'll read the entire "Butterfly Girl", to deal with the situation.
- (sardonic) And not just look at my drawings...
- ... (about time!)
- Hey, neither did Madam know the scriptwriter of my drama!

Kang Chul smiles and winks at Yeon-Joo.



#23. "Butterfly Girl" - Villa, Back garden (day).

ZEERFF! Mister Ladybug disappears, time flows normally again.

- Hiiiiiiiiii !

A e approaches Ren-Bo with a marker.
Her wings become icy blue.

Soo-Bong rushes to help her, but the burly high schooler anticipates.
SBAM! He kicks Soo-Bong in the chest, taekwondo style.

- Argh!

Soo-Bong falls back, his breath cut off, paralyzed by the pain.
A trio of mean girls surround Ren-Bo.

Ren-Bo is terrified, in tears.

- We gonna make you your own poo, bug girl...

Ren-Bo trembles with fear, and clacks her teeth in panic.
Traumatized, the spasms of horror spread through her body.
She shakes her head with a refusal movement.

Unbeknownst to her, an intense vibration appears behind her...
VVFFFFF! Surprised by herself, Ren-Bo is torn from the ground by her wings!
FLAP-FLAP-FLAP! Her wings flap at a speed that the human eye cannot perceive.

WOSHH! High schoolers are blinded by a powerful blast, like under a helicopter taking off.

- Soo-Bong!

Ren-Bo reaches out to Soo-Bong.
He grabs Ren-Bo's hand, and is ripped off the ground.
With a somewhat anarchic trajectory, Ren-Bo flies over the hedge of purple thuyas.
Soo-Bong is hardly towed.
He rubs the top of the hedge, and the leaves whip his face.



#24. Public green space (day).

Out of strength, Ren-Bo drops Soo-Bong, on the other side of the hedge.

Soo-Bong falls into the grass, lying on his back.
Ren-Bo, no longer able to flap her wings, also falls.
And she lands lying in front, right on Soo-Bong!

Lying on top of each other, they have their faces a few centimetres apart.

They look at each other with round eyes, for an endless moment...

- Sorry!

She blushes, and her wings turn pink.

- I'm sorry, I couldn't do it anymore...
- It's nothing.
- It's a bit like a muscle that hasn't been exercised since a long time.
- Hum...
- Oh!

FLAP! Ren-Bo gets up quickly, up by a instinctive flapping of her wings.

She's embarrassed.

Soo-Bong also gets up.

- We shouldn't stay here, they could go around the house.
- You're right.



#25. Street, Junction (day).

Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong are on a sidewalk near the green space.

: Which way to go?

Next, an ordinary road, and a pedestrian alley with stores.

: (look at the road) I don't know that way.
An unknown place specific to "ButterFly Girl" world.

: (look at the alley) I know this way.
It's a place I've already drawn.

: We'll have a better chance in a place I know.
- This way, Ren-Bo. (points to the shopping aisle)

They smile at each other, and Ren-Bo takes Soo-Bong's hand. Pink wings!



#26. "Real World" - Sung-Moo's Living room (night).

The shopping street appears on the tablet.

Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul look at it.

- They're pretty aggressive for high school kids.
I arrested less violent crooks.
- Arf, yeah... The good ones are very good and the bad ones are very bad.
It is a simplistic and Manichean universe...

A new drawing develops on the tablet...
The group of high school students on motorcycles, touring the block.

- They bypass the shops.
They will surprise Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong at the end of the street.

New drawing, Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong in view of a traffic circle.

- There! They've been spotted!

New drawing, the motorcycles arrive from all the exits.

- They're surrounded now.
I don't think Ren-Bo can fly that far.
- But... what's Soo-Bong doing?
- What does he stare at, motionless? There is nothing.
- Or maybe... he's obsessed with this... lamp post?

The tablet shows Soo-Bong facing a big lamp post on the roundabout.

We don't see the next drawings, but...

- What? It doesn't make any sense!
- But... but... How?!!!

Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul stare at the tablet, without believing their eyes.

- It's totally unthinkable!!!!!


FLASH, End image: Amazed Kang Chul + Smiling Ren-Bo to Soo-Bong + Smiling Soo-Bong to Ren-Bo.

I can't continue a full photo-screenplay now, because it takes too much time.
And I need this time to make corrections on the episodes, better writing.
So I will publish the next parts with a simplified photo-screenplay.

so this is good,but Kang Cheol isn't Soo Bom's Hyung because the actor playing Soo Bom is older by seven years, if anything it's the other way around .

Chapter 1: I just read the post on your wall hahaha and also the first chapter. So, I just decided to drop the comment here.
Honestly this type of photo-drama is quite new for me (and this site...I think) but so far I think I’ll keep reading this. And I think I love the idea of the photos because your story have a lot of characters, so this really help me to keep me in track of the storyline. But I think this may also somehow affect the interests for the others to read your story since people here more attract to read something in form of novel-like.
Anyway, good luck for your writing! I enjoy reading it. I can tell that this story has an interesting plot eventho it just started.
