Summary of the previous episode's ending.

C#1. FLASHBACK - Living room.

-

Soo-Bong, "W" is finished. Now, time there flows at the same speed as here.

C#2. FLASHBACK - Kitchen.

-

Maybe there is a way...

C#3. FLASHBACK - Kitchen.

-

Except we still don't understand how it worked.

-

Even one year later...

Subtitle: Over one year ago...

(The bedroom is also Oh Sung-Moo's former office.)
Kang Chul, works on the computer. Accounting spreadsheets.
Yeon-Joo embraces him tenderly from behind. Bouncy belly, pregnant.

-

My beloved Kang Chul, very competent in mathematics... Are you in charge of household accounting?

-

Yes, and we're going through a rough period.

-

Does my husband spend like a Cheabol, without affording it?

-

No, I know how to be economical when I have to. But our budget is far too meager.

-

It's my fault. I did not want to remain subject to the fate imposed by "W".

-

Instead of founding a computer company, I chose acting as a career. Except that my drama won't start until next year.

-

I'm at fault too... I've given up on the hospital, now that our number 4 will deliver a Chul-Moo.

-

And I really want to draw!

At a table, Soo-Bong shows Yeon-Joo a storyboard with sketches of Butterfly Girl.

~

Soo-Bong will hire me as assistant on his next project...

-

Also, we'll get Dad's inheritance in 4 months!

-

It's not immediate. We are in the bottom of the wave.

-

It's up to the man to feed his home, I was inconsistent.

-

So, you will be able to assume your role.

-

What do you mean?

At a table, Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo are joking around.

-

Maybe you liked my money more than me. Should I bring you some gold bars?

-

Do me a favor. Bring me back a gold ingot!

-

Ah! I've thought about it.

-

But in "W" as here, gold bars are engraved and referenced.

-

I can import an ingot, but it will be unusable. Or I would have to falsify a certificate.

(thinks)

-

This document is more accurate than a bank bill. A counterfeit would be detected, and I don't want to defraud.

-

I have an idea that avoids fraud, and provides a compliant certificate.

-

... (dubious)

-

You will always surprise me. How?

-

You must have observed... What we drew on the tablet was always imprecise.

-

It's normal, a drawing is not a picture. It's sketchy and artistic.

The killer orders faceless Sung-Moo to draw the tablet.

~

But yet, the object materialized in "W" was always realistic. Even when the killer asked for a fake tablet.

The tablet materializes in the trunk of his car.

Han Chul Ho accidentally makes a gun appear in his hand while using the tablet.

~

In "W", it could have been any tablet of the same model. But no, it was exactly the wanted object.

-

My father's tablet, with the same powers!

-

... (nods)

-

So if I draw a certificate, even a rough one, it will become authentic.

-

I'll draw it when you get the ingot in "W".

-

You made some interesting observations.

-

But "W" is over. We can't draw anything on it anymore.

-

It's not certain.

-

... (appalled)

-

Okay, it didn't work in the past...

Yeon-Joo, sad, grieving, draws Sung-Moo's portrait on a tablet.

~

I tried to draw my dad on a different tablet than his.

Sung-Moo looks at Yeon-Joo fondly, then he vanishes into supernatural dust, annihilated.

~

But he couldn't come back, "W" ended because his disappearance.

-

And all of Oh Sung-Moo's tablets are gone.

Sung-Moo, in pajamas, facing his tablet. Kang Chul's bodyguard is unconscious on the floor.

~

He had left a copy in his hotel room at the end of "W".

Kang Chul in a hospital bed. His bodyguard enters, carrying the tablet.

-

(presents the tablet) President, what should we do with this?

-

Burn it. Be sure it remains only ashes.

-

It couldn't work after the end, but I wanted to eliminate any potential risk.

-

I never understood why that copy didn't vanish.

Soo-Bong sees the tablet vanish.

~

The other copy here disappeared at the end of "W".

¤ Alley (night): On a garbage bag, Kang Chul's gun vanishes.
¤ Surgical operating room: The bullet that was extracted vanishes.

~

It makes sense, only items outside the manhwa disappear at its end. Otherwise, other creations in "W" would have disappeared too.

-

I could have even brought this copy of the tablet here. It wouldn't have disappeared after the trip because it was in "W" before the end.

-

That's a pity, it could have been useful today.

-

It wouldn't have worked because the manhwa is over.

-

The world of "W" is back to what it was originally, independent.

¤ Living room: Soo-Bong draws a boat with divers.
¤ Guest room: Yeon-Joo draws a portrait of Kang Chul.

~

Yet I was able to save you from drowning, while the manhwa was over.

The faceless killer is standing on the bridge guardrail.

~

Because the faceless killer had prevented the end.

On Yeon-Joo's smartphone, image of Kang Chul drowned. "END" becomes "TO BE CONTINUED".

~

Before it could be modified, the manhwa displayed "TO BE CONTINUED".

"FINAL CHAPTER" displays in the air, in front of Yeon-Joo.

~

The real end is definitive, with "FINAL CHAPTER" shown, and resolution of the main plot.

(doubts)

-

See, that's impossible.

(sorry smile)

-

You said the tablet was not magic...

-

It did not create the phenomenon. It became a tool for altering the laws of physics, a bridge between worlds.

-

Probably because Oh Sung-Moo worked on it for years.

-

A conjunction between his psychic imprint, the other world, and my will.

-

So any other tablet would have worked, after a while?

-

Yes, as long as it was sufficiently impregnated with the manhwa.

Yeon-Joo opens a closet, and takes out a tablet stored inside.

Soo-Bong takes out his tablet, and shows the talisman stuck on the back.

Yeon-Joo shows the tablet's back with the talisman stuck on it.

-

This is Soo-Bong's former tablet. He worked on it for years on "W".

-

... (slightly surprised)

-

On my father's tablet, his drawings didn't work. But I, the manhwa recognized me as one of its true authors.

-

Soo-Bong's tablet is already impregnated with manhwa and works. Bravo genius, your theory is validated!

-

... ! (mouth open, falls from the sky)

C#1. FLASHBACK, W Ep08 - Sung-Moo's Living room (day).

Yeon-Joo, in a panic, drags Soo-Bong who is sleeping in the sofa.
In a hurry, she takes Soo-Bong's small tablet, which is lying on the desk.

C#2. FLASHBACK, W Ep08 - Sung-Moo Street (day).

Yeon-Joo runs past Soo-Bong's car, carrying the tablet.
She puts the tablet in the back of the car. Close-up on the tablet.

C#3. FLASHBACK, W Ep08 - Sung-Moo's Living room (day).

The faceless killer appears in the living room.
Close up on Sung-Moo's big tablet.

C#4. FLASHBACK, W Ep08 - In Yeon-Joo's car (day).

Yeon-Joo draws on Soo-Bong's tablet:
Kang Chul wakes up in the hospital two months earlier.

~

The proof, I drew on it the dream that sent "W" back two months.

-

Wait Yeon-Joo, we won't create a sequel, just to fix our money issues!

-

I don't want to be dependent on a manhwa again.

-

Certainly not!

-

And then... We can't create a sequel.

-

... (intrigued)

-

As you explained, the manhwa definitely ended, showing "FINAL CHAPTER".

-

So what's your idea?

-

Occasionally, authors publish inserts of already finished works. To please the fans, without creating a sequel.

(pensive)

-

They tell, in a page or two, a undercovered situation. An amusing event, often from the hero's past.

(gauging)

-

That's what we are gonna do!

-

All right!

-

I'll get the ingot in "W".

Kang Chul searches on the computer, then shows the screen to Yeon-Joo.

-

This is the type of document we need.

-

Draw this certificate without delay. We'll see if it appears in my hand.

-

... (nods)

-

See you soon, sweetheart...

(smiles tenderly at him)

FZZT! Kang Chul disappears, blurred by an inter-dimensional interference.
Yeon-Joo turns on Soo-Bong's tablet and grabs her electronic stylus.

A few moments later... Yeon-Joo raises her stylus.

-

That's it.

On the tablet, the drawing of the certificate is finished.
Suddenly, Soo-Bong brokes at the front door (the partition is open to the living room).

-

Noona!

Immediately, Yeon-Joo turns off the tablet.

-

Noona, what are you doing on my old tablet?

-

Nothing, I was just cleaning it...

Yeon-Joo takes a dirty cloth, and polishes the tablet, leaving dirty traces on it.

-

C'mon Noona, you're trying too hard.

-

A pregnant woman should not exhaust herself with this. It's my job to clean it!

-

But no! You're nice enough to lend Chul some money.

KZZT! Kang Chul materializes two steps away from Soo-Bong.

-

(doesn't notice Soo-Bong) Yeon-joo, this has--

-

Oh Oh, Ah! (surprised)

-

... ! (surprised)

BING! Kang Chul accidentally drops a heavy object behind him.

-

I was scared! Did you go for a ride in "W", Hyung?

Kang Chul picks up the object, hiding it from Soo-Bong.

-

What's that, Hyung Kang?

-

It's nothing.

Kang Chul immediately put the object in his pocket.

Kang Chul comes forward boldly, and grabs Yeon-Joo by the wrist.

-

We leave you, we have something to talk about.

The couple slips away in their room, closing the door.

-

What are those two cooking up?

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo whisper.

-

So how's it going?

-

TADAM!

With one hand, he takes out the certificate, as successful as a real one.
And in the other hand, the gold ingot.

Yeon-Joo is thrilled by the joy with Kang Chul.
Suddenly, she becomes serious again.

-

Wait...

Yeon-Joo takes out her smartphone and scrolls through the pages.

-

"END"! It still says "END"!

-

Nothing has changed.

-

The interlude has not been published.

-

Don't you think it's weird?

-

It happened as planned, it didn't create a sequel.

-

... (concerned)

-

Is something wrong?

-

We explained the process well. But I have the feeling that I'm missing something.

-

Your intuition, maybe?

Back to present...

On the wall clock: 00:30 am.
Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul come back from the kitchen.

-

Soo-Bong, we'll try your idea.

-

(enthusiastic) Really? I'll go in "W"?

-

We will first do a test to check if it works.

-

So what should I do? You take my hand and we teleport there?

-

Come to our bedroom.

The trio enters.

Yeon-Joo opens a closet, and takes out Soo-Bong's old tablet.

-

You stored it here, Noona?

-

But why take this old tablet?

-

You use yours to draw "Butterfly Girl".

-

Let's not mix it up.

-

Two living manhwas drawn on the same tablet is a problem?

-

I hadn't thought of that.

-

This indeed involves unpredictable risks.

Yeon-Joo puts the tablet on the desk and turns it on.

-

So, are you gonna create a time difference with the world of "W" ?

-

But how? I thought there was no way to draw "W" anymore.

-

As soon as Hyung Kang came to the real world, after the end of "W", the time of the two worlds became the same.

-

I'll just draw a short, hidden scene.

-

An alternative scene unconnected to the main plot. Nothing that changes the manhwa's story and its conclusion.

The tablet is ready, Yeon-Joo raises her electronic stylus.

-

I'm ready.

-

Okay, let's go.

Kang Chul grabs Soo-Bong's arm, surprised that things move so fast.
KFFR! They blink, colored inter-dimensional interferences, then...
FZZT! They disappear!

An old van is parked on the street.

KRZKSHHHH. Radio interference noise.

Sang-Deuk and Young-Sik are sitting in the rear, facing a radio receiver.
TR-KR-ZTFFFF. Sang-Deuk turns the frequency knob on the radio.

-

It's the right frequency, I don't understand...

-

Boss, don't tell me I did all this for nothing!

-

Nothing to do, I've tried everything for one hour.

-

Why doesn't it work?

(is fed up and relaxes a bit)

(frowns and stares at Young-Sik)

-

Did you turn on the transmitter before you placed it?

-

What do you mean?

-

The switch, the one I showed you, for heaven's sake!

-

Ah, the small button on the side... Was it that important?

Sang-Deuk grabs Young-Sik and shakes him around.

-

Poor spot, dumb , fat of !

-

... (shaken, starts whining)

-

Sorry boss, I was running, I was shaking, I was afraid not to hide this mess in time, I completely forgot.

-

You're the king of morons! What's the point of a transmitter if it transmit nothing?

-

I'm sorry, boss, I'll be more careful next time.

-

What next time? We're burned now!

-

Boss, it would have worked better if you had placed the transmitter yourself.

-

And couldn't we have slipped it in discreetly instead?

-

Are you a pickpocket ace? No? Neither do I!

-

All this has been nothing but trouble for us.

-

Admit it, boss, your plan was flawed from the beginning...

-

... (relaxes with a sigh)

-

What are we going to do now?

Replica of the house in "W", less furniture, empty office.

KZZT! Kang Chul and Soo-Bong appear here by teleportation.

-

Wow!

-

What are we going to do now?

-

Me? Nothing!

-

I leave, and I'll come back in a few hours.

-

And me then?

-

You don't do anything either. You stay right here.

-

Huh? But--

Without listening, Kang Chul goes to the main room.

Kang Chul opens the drawer of a cabinet and takes out a smartphone.
Soo-Bong enters, and looks at Kang Chul without the spring to speak.
Kang Chul quickly types a message and sends it.
He puts the phone in the drawer.
He winks at Soo-Bong, then FZZT!, he disappears.
Disappointed, Soo-Bong looks at the clock, 01:30 am.

KZZT! Kang Chul reappears alongside Yeon-Joo.
Yeon-Joo finishes a drawing of Soo-Bong in the replica's living room
At the top, a text box indicates "6 hours later".

-

If the test succeeds, it will pass 6 hours for Soo-Bong.

-

Half an hour for us.

-

Let's plan this, so it's less chaotic than our adventures in "W".

-

Yes. Our life is about to go totally crazy again.

-

Already, no need to wait half an hour, it was just a maximum time.

-

Your first trip in "W" was shorter. So were the trips where I forced the chapter ends.

-

I just need to make sure that the time spent matches your drawing.

-

See you soon...

FZZT! Kang Chul disappears from the real world.

KZZT! Kang Chul reappears in "W".
The clock displays 07:30 am.

Soo-Bong is snoring on the sofa.
Kang Chul grabs a half-filled bottle of water from the coffee table.
He smiles, opens the bottle, and empties the contents on Soo-Bong's face.

-

Blurp... What?

-

Hey, but oh!

(joking smile)

-

Hyung? Are you back?

(notice it's daytime)

-

Did it work?

DING DONG! They hear the doorbell ringing.
Kang Chul goes to open the door.

-

... ?!

He returns with Seo Do-Yoon.

-

Soo-Bong, meet my Hyung. Now it's yours too!

Do-Yoon is shocked and looks at Kang Chul, who is smiling.
Then he looks at Soo-Bong, who is speechless.

KZZT! Kang Chul reappears next to Yeon-Joo.

-

So?

-

It worked! And Do-Yoon will take care of Soo-Bong.

-

I can't spend 3 months away from You and our child.

-

It won't be easy for him...

-

Well, Soo-Bong is resolute to make efforts, he'll take on himself.

-

No, I meant Do-Yoon...

-

... (amused and surprised)

-

Let's end this quickly and get some sleep. I have a hard day of shooting tomorrow.

-

All right, I'll draw Soo-Bong and Do-Yoon after a training session, with the text "3 months later".

-

Draw them in the replica instead. I asked them to be there 3 months later.

-

This saves me unnecessary travels...

-

Ah, my beloved husband has no longer his action hero youth.

-

Hey, I might give you proof to the contrary later.

Yeon-Joo starts drawing.

-

An important thing for tomorrow.

-

You'll have to convince Soo-Bin and your publisher to continue the Manhwa.

-

Yes, I understand. New scenes will appear.

-

Even if the publisher stops the publication, it will continue by itself.

-

Right, the situation would be out of control.

-

By any means, "Butterfly Girl" must be published officially.

The clock displays 10:30 am.

Do-Yoon and Soo-Bong are dressed impeccably, in costume.
Yet they are heckling amicably.
KZZT!
Do-Yoon makes a fighting key around Soo-Bong's neck.

-

Hey, stop, Hyung, that's not fair!

-

I don't know this grip!

(maintains the grip without forcing, casual)

-

Yah ! (Soo-Bong twists Do-Yoon's belly with a fist)

-

Ah ah ! Stop getting away with tickling!

-

I'll tell you the next time you--

They realize that Kang Chul was already here and interrupt their heckling.

(tired and surprised)

-

hum... (embarrassed)

(fears a serious atmosphere)

-

Thank you for everything, Hyung.

-

And sorry I can't stay longer.

-

That's fine, President.

-

Soo-Bong had time to explain everything to me.

-

Soo-Bong, let's go.

Without politeness, Kang Chul grabs Soo-Bong and separates him from Do-Yoon.

(warm and friendly smile)

-

See you soon, Hyung! Take care of--

His sentence is not finished, FZZT!, they already teleport.

KZZT! Kang Chul and Soo-Bong reappear.

-

... yourself?!

-

I feel like I've become an inter-dimensional taxi.

-

Oh! (sees Soo-Bong)

Soo-Bong has gained color and lost weight. His body shape is more athletic.

(contemplates his expensive branded suit)

-

A gift from Hyung, at W's expense.

-

Did it go well?

Agitated by an overflowing energy, Soo-Bong tells with enthusiasm...

-

Noona! It was great!

¤ Image of the penthouse plan on a storyboard.
¤ Real view of the penthouse.

~

We lived in the penthouse, the one I created!

-

Hyung Seo is fantastic!

-

With such a good teacher, I would have started martial arts earlier!

-

Every day, we went to the--

Kang Chul grabs Soo-Bong by the sleeve.

-

Follow me. (forces Soo-Bong out of the room)

-

But... where are we going?

Kang Chul drags Soo-Bong out of the house. Toward the garden.

Kang Chul and Soo-Bong arrive near a garden shed.

-

Huh?

Kang Chul opens the shed.
He clicks on a switch inside, and turns on the light in the garden.
He takes out a shovel and a spade and hands it to Soo-Bong.

-

Yeon-Joo would like to make a vegetable garden there. (shows a garden section.)

-

Just spend your energy turning the soil.

-

What? In the middle of the night?

Without answering, Kang Chul leaves Soo-Bong, pounding and questioning.
Before rounding the corner of the house, he turns slightly.

-

Ah! And don't leave this place. We'll need you tomorrow morning.

Then Kang Chul goes out of sight.

-

What's wrong with him? Why is he mad at me?

-

We haven't seen each other in 3 months, and all he wants is for--

(notices a wooden board on the fence)

(plants the shovel and spade, then gets closer to the board)

-

Direct from left, right hook...

Laughing, he performs some boxing movements against the board.

Young-Sik looks up.

-

(whispering) Boss! Get down, you'll get spotted!

View of Soo-Bong boxing, in a pair of binoculars.
Sang-Deuk removes the binoculars. He's standing on a large trash can.

-

This guy is crazy! Is he gonna stay out all night?

-

It makes him laugh, moreover...

-

Boss, nothing more will happen. Let's go to sleep!

Sang-Deuk comes down from the trash can.

-

Well, the rest of the house is off.

-

There is only this oddball who digs holes, or boxes against a board.

-

Dressed as if he was going to a gala!

-

Is that their watchdog or what?

-

He's probably an accomplice. We'll see about that later!

-

I'm sleepy. Stay here if you want. Me, I'm going to have a rest.

-

No way.

-

Huh?

-

But... ?!

-

You take the moped and go to my home.

-

(hands a sheet of notepads) Bring me back what I wrote on this.

-

Oh no, please boss! I can't take it anymore. I can't stand up anymore.

-

You're not gonna quibble. If we're stuck here, it's your fault!

-

Pfff... (lowers his head, reluctantly accepts)

Still in the water, Ren-Bo dives her hands in all directions.

She cries and screams. Purple wings.

-

Soo-Bong! Where are you?

Sin-Moo is next to the shore guardrail.

-

Ren-Bo, stop it!

-

I can't, he's drowning!

-

It's been ten minutes! If he drowned, it's too late.

-

No, no, no!

-

Soo-Booooooong!

-

Pity, make sure he didn't drown!

-

That's enough, join me!

-

In any case, he would have been swept away by the stream.

-

What you're doing is useless.

Ren-Bo calms down, and stays still for a while.

-

Come now.

Ren-Bo moves to the shore.

Ren-Bo comes out of the water and arrives to the guardrail.
Sin-Moo reaches out to her, to help her overcome the obstacle.
Instead of grabbing his hand, FLIP-FLAP!, she jumps over the railing, thanks to a wings flap.

-

What?

-

Ren-Bo, how could you--

But Ren-Bo walks straight ahead, without any will to discuss.

-

Ren-Bo, where are you going?

-

Let me walk you home. I met some suspicious guys when I arrived.

Arriving near the sports car, Ren-Bo looks sadly at Sin-Moo.

-

Thank you, Oppa. (Oppa = Older boy: brother, friend or lover)

-

... (worried smile)

Sin-Moo helps her board the car's rear seat.

Sin-Moo's flower bouquet is on the ground, next to the car.
Climbing into the car, Ren-Bo tramples it, without noticing it.

Sitting in the two back seats, Ren-Bo has enough room for her wings.

She cries, shaken by little hiccups, her breath intersected.

-

Ren-Bo, please stop crying like that.

(calms down)

:

Did he really drown?

Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong are in the river.

-

Ren-Bo, I can't stay here.

-

You're not gonna leave me here, at least?

-

Whatever happens, don't worry about me.

:

Maybe he just disappeared, like a magician?

:

Yes, he told me not to worry.

:

He must have disappeared, as he had appeared, as Fairy Spark...

Green spots appear in the purple wings of Ren-Bo.

:

Soo-Bong, I hope you're safe...

:

Without you, I would have been in big trouble.

Soo-Bong rushes to help Ren-Bo, but the strong high school student anticipates his move.
SBAM! This brute kicks him in the chest with a typical taekwondo front kick.

-

Argh!

:

You didn't hesitate to get hurt, to defend me.

:

... (annoying thought)

:

It wasn't very polite to kiss me like that...

Ren-Bo and Soo-Bong are in the river.

-

I hope you won't be too angry...

Soo-Bong approaches Ren-Bo, grabs both her arms and... kisses her!

Ren-Bo's wings are green.

:

... but I don't blame you.

:

I'm only asking you for one thing...

:

Be alive!

-

Ren-Bo, who was that guy?

-

I don't know...

-

You don't know, and you're making a whole scene?

-

You can't understand.

-

He's after you, isn't he?

-

No...

-

But you still kiss each other?

-

I had nothing to do with it!

Reddish streaks dot Ren-Bo's wings.

-

So he threatened you? Huh?

-

No more!

-

It doesn't make any sense. What you're saying is absurd.

-

You find yourself in the river for no reason, kissing a stranger.

-

Stop it!

-

I've been by your side for years, helping you as best I can.

-

And overnight, you do anything.

-

Shut up! But shut up!

Ren-Bo's wings are scarlet red.

-

No, you have to explain yourself!

-

Besides, you may be involved in a case with a man's death!

Bright purple streaks shear through Ren-Bo's red wings.

-

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !

-

(shouting) Stop the car!

-

What? But--

KRAAACK! A thunderbolt strikes outside the car and lit up all.

-

(screaming like a hysteric) STOP THE DAMN CAR RIGHT NOW!!!!!

-

... !! (shocked, scared, he brakes immediately)

Park parks his car near a park. ^^

Ren-Bo gets out of the car and VLAM!, slams the door violently. Then walks away.
RRMMBL! Storm rumble.
Sin-Moo also comes out, but stays by his open door.
He limply slams his arm on the roof of the car, sighing heavily.

Ren-Bo walks towards the park adjacent to the river bank.
