"Lovely You" chapter 1

 

SUN MI'S HOUSE

Gyu Sung: (straightens Sun Mi's dress) Today is your first day of work. How do you feel?

Sun Mi: (smiling) Um....I have mixed feelings. I am excited and nervous, Daddy.

Gyu Sung: You're going to do fine, my Sun Mi. Mmm...Your my daughter.

Sun Mi: That's right. I'm your daughter. Jahm Shil Bong's tiger principal's only daughter, Jin Sun Mi.

Gyu Sung: (he pinches Sun Mi's cheeks) Oh, you little rascal. (Gyu Sung's face turns serious) At work, be honest and respectful. Respect your boss and co-workers the same way you respect your parents and teachers. Do this and everything will be fine.

Sun Mi: (she quietly smiles) Yes, daddy. I'll keep that in mind.

Gyu Sung: Go and just be Sun Mi, my daughter. The man you are going to be secretary for is a lucky man. Ha Ha Ha.

Sun Mi: I wonder about our TV station Director and I am nervous. What do I do if he is a fussy person with a big stomach and bald head?

Gyu Sung: It doesn't matter what his outward appearance is. I just hope he has a good personality and is respectful of his workers.

Sun Mi: It would be better if he was an attractive middle-aged man.


CROWDED SUBWAY
(Sun Mi is in a crowded subway and her body keeps being pushed around. She is uncomfortable and is trying not to fall down. She is holding to a hand rail and her hands her starting to sweat.)

Woo Jin: (sees Sun Mi and notices that she is uncomfortable and offers her his seat) Sit down here, please.

Sun Mi: (she wants to sit but doesn't) No, I'm alright.

Woo Jin: (he gets up from his seat, and makes her sit down)

Sun Mi: I...I'm fine. (her face flushes, she feels bad for taking his seat but is thankful)

Woo Jin: (looks at Sun Mi, and smiles nicely)

Sun Mi: Thank you. (gives Woo Jin a bright smile)

Woo Jin: (he is stunned by her smile and temporarily forgets where he is at)


FRONT OF TV STATION

Woo Jin: I think we are destined for each other. We work at the same station and it is both of our first days at work.

Sun Mi: Sure is. And if it weren't for you (looking at her dress) my dress would have been wrinkled and I would have lost some buttons.

Woo Jin: Then you should thank me.

Sun Mi: (pauses, then nods her head) Yes, thank you very much.

Woo Jin: In the future, when we meet again, we will not be strangers. To thank me for today you can buy me coffee later.

Sun Mi: Ha Ha (sentimental smile). Is that all you want?

Woo Jin: (laughs and thinks that working at this tv station is going to be fun)

Sun Mi: (she looks at her watch) Oh, we better be going or we will be late for our first day.

Woo Jin: Should we run?

Sun Mi: Yes, we have to.
(they runs into the tv station lobby, they look around this new world of challenges and ambition)


SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (very sits tensely in her chair)

Mr. Lee: (sees how tense Sun Mi is and think that this is cute) Don't be nervous Miss Jin Sun Mi, relax...uhhhh.

Sun Mi: (she forces a smile onto her face) Y.Y..Yes

Mr. Lee: Our Director is very open-minded. There is nothing to worry about. You are luck that you don't have to work for the manager, Mr. Kim, who is very critical.

Sun Mi: What kind of person is the Director? I don't know anything about him, and don't know how to prepare. What is his style of working? What kind of coffee does he like?

Mr. Kim: Oh, the previous secretary left urgently. There is no real time to explain. Oh, I would say that our Director is.....(Sun Mi thought that this was going to be long story)

(Suddenly the door opens and a very dignified man enter, Hyun Chul, holding his briefcase. Sun Mi thinks that he is so handsome that he probably makes everyone's head turn wherever he goes. He looks like a smart young businessman)

Sun Mi: (she is stunned by Hyun Chul's look)

Mr. Lee: (he bends over at 90degree angle to bow) How are you Mr. Director?

Hun Chul: (He doesn't even look around but heads straight for his office) England BBC is going to be sending me an important Fax, check to see if the fax has come. I need one cup of strong coffee. (he disappears into his office)

Mr. Lee: (sees Sun Mi just standing there still stunned) What are you doing Jin Sun Mi?

Sun Mi: Y..Y..Yes??????

Mr. Lee: The Director asked you for strong coffee.

Sun Mi: Oh, yes. (she still has a perplexed look on her face)


SOON AFTER...

Sun Mi: (breathes deeply, and holds the coffee carefully to prevent spilling, she knocks on the Director's door)


DIRECTOR'S ROOM

Hyun Chul: (he is looking through papers on his desk, he doesn't acknowledge that Sun Mi is there)

Sun Mi: (stands close to him, and carefully places the coffee on his desk, her hands and heart are shaking a little)

Hyun Chul: (his head still looking down at his desk) Thank you.

Sun Mi: Uh..Hi, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (he slowly lifts his head for the first time to look at Sun Mi)

 


CHAPTER 2 "LOVELY YOU"

 

DIRECTOR'S ROOM
(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi's eyes meet as they gaze vacatly at each other)

Sun Mi: I started working today. I am your new secretary, Jin Sun Mi.

Hyun Chul: Ah...(only then does he undersatnd the circumstances) Of course. (he gets up from his seat and thrusts out his hand) I'm Yun Hyun Chul. How are you? Welcome to the future.

Sun Mi: (a little hesitate, but she shakes Hyun Chul's hand) Yes, thank you. I will do my best. I am going to work very hard.

Hyun Chul: (he sees how Sun Mi has pure passion, and that she looks a little frigtened, her cheeks have glow. Hyun Chul feels Sun Mi's lovely sweetness) A secretary who makes good coffee and only smiles is of no use to me. I need a secretary who can catch my mistakes and help me correct them. And if without this type of secretary my whole day could be ruined.

Sun Mi: (her facial expression becomes more tense)

Hyun Chul: Do you understand what I am saying?

Sun Mi: Yes!!

Hyun Chul: (with a light smile he sits back down in his chair) So far we are not used to each other, we need time to get to know each other. There is no need to rush, let us do this slowly.

Sun Mi: Yes!!

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi's tense looks make Hyun Chul feel distressed) Also, if you ever have any concerns or questions, remember that my door will be open anytime. Don't forget that.

Sun Mi: Yes!! (for a short time she stands at attention, suddenly her mind wakes up and bows, she turns around to leave)

Hyun Chul: Ah...also...

Sun Mi: (she quickly turns around) Yes, Mr. Director!!

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi's look almost makes Hyun Chul laugh) I almost forgot. I work late. What this means is that I leave the office very late. In case you try to read my mind about when I will leave the office, don't. You are to be on time coming and leaving this office. Unless, I specifically ask you.

Sun Mi: Yes!!

Hyun Chul: (he nods his head to signal that she can leave)

Sun Mi: (once again, she bows and quickly turns around to leave)

Hyun Chul: (to Sun Mi's back as she is leaving) Today, the coffee has an especially nice smell.


SECRETARY ROOM
(Sun Mi closes Hyun Chul's door behind her. She is not as tense but is still stunned by her conversation with Hyun Chul. She doesn't even remember what she said or heard. She can hear heart beating quickly)


CAFETERIA- LUNCH TIME
(managers Mr. Kim's secretary, Su Jin, and Sun Mi go to luch together)

Su Jin: Was today a very tough day for you?

Sun Mi: Yes...I can't remember anything. If I made a mistake what do I do?

Su Jin: That's they way to become accustomed to doing you job. Also, if you make a mistake now, everybody will see it as flirty.

Sun Mi: (she quietly smiles and eats hot soup)

Su Jin: Anyhow, Miss Sun Mi, do you know about this?

Sun Mi: (looking at Su Jin)

Su Jin: When the previous secretary, Lee Mi Jang, left every secretary here wanted to go work for Director Yun. (she smiles) Even I want to.

Sun Mi: Why??

Su Jin: Oh, Miss Sun Mi. Didn't you see Mr. Director this morning?

Sun Mi: Of course, I saw him, but.....

Su Jin: Are you blind? He is drop dead gorgeous. He is the oldest son of the Moon Young Group and a bachelor. Do you still not understand what I am saying?

Sun Mi: Ah..(thinking to herself, she even thought that he was very attractive) Maybe, everybody doesn't know whether he has a secret girlfriend.

Su Jin: That doesn't matter, I envy you Miss Sun Mi. (suddenly in thought) Manager Mr. Kim is really bad, when I think about him I can't even eat. He is not respectful, but I hope he is at least not disagreeable.

Sun Mi: Something wrong?

Su Jin: Don't say anything. He comes to work later than everybody else and leaves earlier that anybody. When he works, he is never in his office. He goes to sauna and golf. Sometimes when I have to go and look for him I have to make myself feel like a monk.

Sun Mi: (she smiles quietly. Sun Mi sees Sun Dahl and Ju Hee are walking towards them carrying lunch trays) Miss Su Jin, there are the people from the 7 O'clock newscast.

Su Jin: Ah...Kim senior and Yu senior.

Sun Mi: Do you know them?

Su Jin: Yes. Announcer Yu Ju Hee, is my school senior. Also, another piece of information, announcer Kim Sun Dahl is senior Yu's boyfriend. Isn't it marvelous?

Sun Mi: (she thinks this news is very interesting) The two are associated with each other.

Su Jin: (bows her head) Mmmm, ya.....Hi, Senior!!!

SOON AFTER

Sun Mi: (she has only seen Sun Dahl and Ju Hee on tv. seeing them in person felt marvelous)

Sun Dahl: So, Miss Jin Sun Mi is Hyu Chul's...I mean Mr. Director's new secretary?

Sun Mi: Yes...

Sun Dahl: Oh boy. Mr. Director is going to be happy. He has such a beautiful lady coming to work as his secretary.

Ju Hee: (she elbows Sun Dahl in the chest and gives him a look for him to act like a gentleman. she turns to look at Sun Mi) Kim senior is Mr Director's school senior too.

Sun Dahl: Me and Hyun Chul are like brothers.

Sun Mi: Oh, really.

Ju Hee: Director Yun is a reasonable and honorable man. You can learn a lot from him. This station has many honorable men. But, congratulations to you that you get to work with Director Yun.

Sun Mi: (After hearing Su Jin and Ju Hee talking, she thought she had a very good boss)

Sun Dahl: But Director Yun does not only have good qualities.. not everything is good.

Su Jin: What do you mean, senior?

Sun Dahl: He is extrememly stubborn. (Sun Dahl looks at Ju Hee) Announcers have to speak good. Sometimes his stubbornness is so strong, once in a while he tries so hard to show his stubbornness to everyone? Anyhow, once something made him so upset that he started pouting, not even only that, sometimes when somethings is not that important, he still will give all of energy to fix. Somewhere in the corner of his heart is very narrow minded too, Director Yun is politely critical, you are going to have a hard time with his attitude and stubbornness, ...
Sun Mi: (she is becoming more and more tense)

Sun Dahl: (he watches Sun Mi’s face become tense, but he is having too much fun so he continues) Even sometimes he has tantrums, I heard that once in a while in the middle of a meeting he tried to throw things

Ju Hee: Stop, senior? Today is her first day, are you trying to make her scared?..

Sun Dahl: Somethings she needs to know, that way she will be better prepared for him. That way later on when it happens, she will not be so lost. Don’t you think so, Miss Jin Sun Mi?

Sun Mi: (different to how she feels in her heart, she barely smiles)

Ju Hee: Senior Mr. Kim is just playing, so don’t pay so much attention?
Sun Dahl: What do mean I’m playing? It is all true! Does anybody know more about him than me? If so, then ask them to come over here.


SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (this way that way, she has heard many different stories about Hyun Chul. But she decides to not believe anything the others have told her, she wants to see him for herself, but, on the other hand, that could be pretty good information too. )

Hyun Chul: (he finished lunch and is walking through the door)

Sun Mi: (she quickly gets up from her seat)

Hyun Chul: (he passes Sun Mi and suddenly stops) You do not need to stand-up every time I pass by you.
Sun Mi: Oh, I am? I will keep that in mind.

Hyun Chul: ??.Did you eat lunch?

Sun Mi: Yes, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (once more he looks at Sun Mi, and then he goes inside his office)


BAR

Sun Dahl: Lately, you are very busy. Every time you make an excuse.

Hyun Chul: (he is tired and rubs his eyes) the BBC children program contract some how has kept me busy.

Sun Dahl: Each time take a little a break. Your young age is very important. Why do you waste your age so much?

Hyun Chul: Young age is important, that is why I work hard at this time? Any how when I look at you, you always cleverly make things go your way. You have a talent for clever translation?


Sun Dahl: Even some songs have titles like “Let’s Have Fun at Young Age” Huh. Don't you know that Yun Hyun Chul?

Hyun Chul: Oh, boy. (he smiles)

Sun Dahl: Oh, any how? I saw your new secretary at lunch and we ate together.

Hyun Chul: (he hesitates from drinking, and turns to look at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: She is pretty? Ya, she is warm looking. I hope I had that kind of service people, that would be nice … mmm.

Hyun Chul: (somehow he can’t trust Sun Dahl’s is face is very uncomfortably looking at Sun Dahl) Senior, you didn’t do what I think you did, did you???

Sun Dahl: (acting like he is doing something else) Especially, when she smiles she is very pretty. She has a natural clear smile. If I wasn’t with Ju Hee, I would probably ask her out.

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Dahl with a look of hopelessness)

Sun Dahl: Now you have a reason to feel good about working. See, I envy you, really envy you?


Hyun Chul: Tell the truth, senior. In front of Miss Jin Sun Mi, did you make fun of me? I know your attitude, you could even do it more than a hundred times.

Sun Dahl: Not fun of you. I just gave her some sauce? I tried to tell her to work hard for you, and to provide good service for you. She has to know your attitude, good and bad. I thought that if she knew, it would be helpful. I did it all for you.

Hyun Chul: (sighs in disbelief) How much did you tell her?

Sun Dahl: I didn’t even tell her half the story. Not even half of the half. Tomorrow, when I see her at lunch I am going to tell her again?


NEXT DAY, DIRECTORS OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi puts coffee on his desk and turns and leaves the office)?.Oh, Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: Yes!

Hyun Chul: Day after day, it is important that you follow my instructions when you work. Just a little while ago I gave you email, so check your email. Any kind of questions you have, you can ask me.

Sun Mi: Yes. I will Mr. Director.


SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (she hurries to her chair, and moves the mouse on the computer to open her email. She is a little tense, but looks at the screen intensely. She read Hyun Chul’s mail)


???..?2:30 Shin La Hotel, lunch appointment?  (Sun Mi carefully checks the email, the last email she finished reading)
This is the last one.
(at that time?at the bottom of the email she saw another line of writing)

????P.S. inside the tv station, somebody tried to spread gossip about me, you better try not to listen to what those people had to say. Also, I beg you to stay away from them.  (Sun Mi smiles, she openly laughs, she looks at the directors office and thinks yesterday, what Mr. Sun Dahl spoke about must be true)

 


“LOVELY YOU”Chapter 3

 

CAFETERIA

Sun Dahl: (today, he sits in front of Sun Mi again and begins to talk about Hyun Chul. His excuse is that he is giving her sauce, but he just enjoys talking about Hyun Chul. He enjoyed it so much that he doesn’t even notice the time that has passed.)

Sun Mi: (The first time she listened to Sun Dahl talk she was half tense and half not paying attention. Now, she doesn’t know why but she can’t wait to hear Sun Dahl’s stories. Sun Dahl point is to tell stories to pick on Hyun Chul but Sun Mi listens because she wants to know more about Hyun Chul. Sun Dahl’s stories already make her heart kind of flutter for Hyun Chul)

Sun Dahl: That time you should have seen Director Yun’s face? His face was as red as can be?.He didn’t know what to say?..He tried to be as calm as he could?.Even when I think about that time, I want to laugh.

Sun Mi: (covers her mouth to hide her laughter, but she couldn’t hide her laughing)

Ju Hee: (she laughs too, but she looks at Sun Dahl in disapproval) That is enough talk for now. Let’s eat.

Sun Dahl: Alright? Oh, I sure have to quit talking now. (he points in a direction with his eyes)

(Sun Mi and Ju Hee turn around and look in the direction of Sun Dahl’s eyes...
(They can see Hyun Chul is caring a lunch tray and walking toward their table)

Sun Dahl: (He leans over to Sun Mi) Remember what I said, Director Yun is determined when it comes to small things. He knows I am talking to Miss Sun Mi and now he has come to check on me.

Sun Mi: (she puts her face down and laughs)

Hyun Chul: (he sits down next to Sun Dahl) May I sit down here, Mr. Kim Sun Dahl?

Sun Dahl: Oh, yes Mr. Director. But, what are doing here in this kind of humble place?

Hyun Chul: (He gives Sun Dahl an unfriendly look) What do mean, humble place? The chef works hard in preparing good meals for all of MBS employees. If the chef heard what you said, he would be very disappointed. Don’t you think so?

Sun Dahl: (He doesn’t know what to say)

Hyun Chul: That is why from now on, I think that I am going to come here to eat lunch every day.

Sun Dahl: (he coughs) Ah...Um?

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi and Ju Hee) Enjoy this meal. Eat as much as you want.

Ju Hee: Yes, Mr. Director, you too. (she looks at Sun Dahl in a “I told you so” manner)

Sun Mi: (She is a little disappointed that she can’t hear any more of Sun Dahl’s funny stories. But having Hyun Chul sitting in front of her, her heart begins to flutter a little.)


MBS BREAKROOM

(vending machine)

Young Mi: (she gives Woo Jin coffee) Thank you for your hard work.

Woo Jin: Thank you for the coffee.

Young Mi: When I go out and am standing in front of your camera, I am most happy. Do you know why?

Woo Jin: (he shrugs his shoulders)

Young Mi: You make me look pretty. Better than any other cameraman I have worked with. I think that in front of your camera, my face shines.

Woo Jin: (He almost spits his coffee out; but, so that Young Mi doesn’t see he turns his head, and laughs)

Young Mi: Oh, I want to know something about you. Can I ask you something?

Woo Jin: What do you want to know?

Young Mi: You have talent, so I don’t think you flunked three years. But, how is it that you came so late to work at this tv station?

Woo Jin: Well,  that time was not my time to work at this place.

Young Mi: Oh, anyhow...
(Sun Mi walk into the breakroom holding important work papers in one hand)

Woo Jin: (suddenly his face turns bright) Miss Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (she too gets a smile) Mr. Woo Jin!!!!!

Woo Jin: (walks to the vending machine) Do you want some coffee?

Young Mi: (she looks Sun Mi over)

Sun Mi: Mr. Woo Jin, have you already forgot? I already promised to buy you coffee.

Woo Jin: Next time? That way I can have an excuse to meet you again Miss Sun Mi.

Young Mi: (she is a little upset, and looks at them coldly) Ahm...


Sun Mi: (turns to look at Young Mi) Hi, how are you Miss Huh Young Mi?

Young Mi: (she blindly looks at Sun Mi) How are you?? (she looks at Woo Jin) I am leaving first Mr. Kim Woo Jin? (she coldly walks out of the breakroom)

Sun Mi: (she smiles at Young Mi’s attitude, she saw it as cute)

Woo Jin: (he gives coffee to Sun Mi) Thank you Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: Huh????

Woo Jin: For a little while you were just like my savior, Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: (she knew what he was saying) But every time I see Miss Young Mi I want to smile.

Woo Jin: Huh? . You do?? Every time I am with Miss Young Mi I feel like I want to get away from her as fast as possible.

Sun Mi: (smiles) By the way, every time you buy me coffee. Next time, make sure that you give me a chance to buy you coffee.

Woo Jin: I don’t know why, but I don’t want to. I want to make you feel so sorry, so you will feel like you owe me big.

Sun Mi: Huh???? (she smiles)

Woo Jin: (he too smiles, with his eyes he starts to flirt with Sun Mi)

(Hyun Chul was talking to employees in the Planning Department, he walks by Sun Mi and sees her and Woo Jin standing together and smiling at each other. Hyun Chul saw them but acted like he didn’t see them, he walks past trying to ignore them. But, he turns aroud and looks at Sun Mi one more time with curious eyes.)


SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (she is just about to sit down, when her office phone rings. She answers) Yes, Mr. Director...
Hyun Chul: Come in here for a minute please.


DIRECTOR’S ROOM

Sun Mi: (she enter the Director’s office, and stands in front of his desk) You called me Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (he was looking down at his paper, then looks up at Sun Mi. He gives her a blank look and didn’t know what to say)

Sun Mi: ??????

Hyun Chul: (he puts his face down and starts rummaging through his papers quickly) Can you get me some coffee please?

Sun Mi: Yes!?!

Hyun Chul: (he keeps going through his papers, he looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Yes, Mr. Diector I will get you some coffee. (she bows her head, and turns to leave the room)


MBS HALLWAY

Young Mi: (she has a dreamy look on her face) Senior, don’t you think that Director Yun is very handsome? He has big nice eyes. And when he speaks, everyone tries to listen.

Ju Hee: (thinking to herself that here they go again, wondering how long Young Mi will talk this time) The whole world knows that Director Yun is handsome. That’s enough talk about that, huh?

Young Mi: Today, during the meeting every time that his eyes met mine he smiled at me.

Ju Hee: (she looks at Young Mi wondering if anyone else was listening to this)

Young Mi: Senior, what can I do if Director Yun thinks of me differently from other women?

Ju Hee: (she doesn’t even know that she sighs)

Young Mi: Every time, I am in front of him my whole heart is open. Really, really I don’t know what to do. I get more nervous in front of him then in front of the camera.

Ju Hee: (mumbles to herself) Ay? it’s a mystery how you ever passed to become an announcer. (Oh, you must have became an announcer by parachute. Your major doesn’t seem to have been announcing but rather comedy.)


THAT NIGHT, LEAVING WORK TIME, DIRECTOR’S ROOM

Sun Mi: Mr. Director, do need anything else from me?

Hyun Chul: (he looks at the papers on his desk and doesn’t answer)

Sun Mi: Then, I am going to go ahead and go home. (she opens the door to leave)

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: Yes!!

Hyun Chul: (he doesn’t even look up at Sun Mi and hands her one paper) Can you copy this for me?

Sun Mi: (she is a little confused) Yes, I can make a copy.

(Today, he asked for one coffee at lunch, and now to copy just one paper at the end of the day, is a little too much thought Sun Mi. She thought that high society has had a negative effect on some of his behavior. She tries to comfort herself and tells herself that she will be okay. Then she remembers what Sun Dahl said about Hyun Chul being stubborn?she tells herself again that it is okay?it is okay, I can handle this.)

 DIRECTOR"S ROOM

A little early in the morning. Sun Mi organizes the disorderly papers on top of Hyun Chul's desk. Suddenly, Sun Mi's eyes catch a small photograph in the corner of Hyun Chul's desk. The photograph is of Hyun Chul performing with a bass guiter; he has long hair, he is soaked with sweat on his face, and his eyes are tightly closed. Sun Mi can see how Hyun Chul is excited and fascinated by that moment. Sun Mi doesn't even noticed that she picked the picture up....She thinks about how different Hyun Chul looks....She gets caught in the moment......Suddenly the door opens and Hyun Chul enters the room.

Sun Mi: (with surprise....Sun Mi quickly puts Hyun Chul's picture back just as it was before... she doesn't know what to do)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks stiff and with a stiff voice says) As for me!! I don't like it when anybody touches my stuff without a good reason.

Sun Mi: (she feels a little hurt by Hyun Chul's words) I'm just......I just wanted to organize your desk. I didn't mean to upset you...for now on I will be more careful.

Hyun Chul: From Miss Jin Sun Mi's eyes my desk look disorderly, but from my eyes I know exactly where everything I need is.

Sun Mi: Oh, I'm sorry.....I do not understand you yet. But today you have brought what I have done wrong to my attention and I will do my best to correct my error. (she bows her head a little, she walks past Hyun Chul and leaves the room)

Hyun Chul: (these past few days he doesn't know what is wrong with him......every time he is in front of Sun Mi he makes pointed remarks and behavior......He throws his briefcase onto his desk...he then looks at himself in the photograph)


BREAKROOM


Ju Hee: What is wrong, Miss Jin Sun Mi? You look so tired.

Sun Mi: Senior...the company boss, no matter what, is just the company boss.

Ju Hee: What does that mean?

Sun Mi: (sighs deeply)

Ju Hee: Maybe, Director Yun is giving you too much stress Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: (she smiles) Yes...when I look at him I thought that because he was young, he would be more easy to work for. But, he is no different than the older generations.

Ju Hee: and?????

Sun Mi: He is a powerful man and his behavior is just like any other powerful person.......Do all powerful people act like that?

Ju Hee: (becoming more and more interested) Give me an example..........

Sun Mi: A few days ago, (Sun Mi wants to talk but she stops herself) Never mind Senior...I am going to stop talking...

Ju Hee: Continue......if you have lots of stress, the best medicine is to say insulting things about the person causing the stress.

Sun Mi: For some reason...I feel like I've spit on myself...any how, he is my supervisor...an odious person or not...I have to be the first person to like him. (saying this makes Sun Mi behave unseemingly...she softly smiles)

Ju Hee: Ay...little stinker (she pinches Sun Mi's cheeks and smiles too)


FRONT OF MBS


Sun Mi leaves to go home. Young Mi looks at the pouring rain and pounds her feet on the ground)

Sun Mi: Miss Young Mi!!! Is something wrong?

Young Mi: The rain is coming down very hard and I don't have an umbrella. (Young Mi looks at Sun Mi's umbrella in her hand)

Sun Mi: Lets walk together, I am going to take the subway or go to the bus stop.

Young Mi: No....You give me your umbrella Miss Sun Mi...I'm late for a meeting...from the subway station it will be a long walk and I am wearing expensive clothes that I don't want to get wet....Anyway I have to run...two people under an umbrella isn't much better than not having an umbrella.

Sun Mi: (she has a confused look)

Youn Mi: I'm begging you Miss Sun Mi...I will return this good favor.

Sun Mi: (gives the umbrella to Young Mi) Go, hurry or you are going to be late.

Young Mi: Thank you, Miss Sun Mi. (She yanks the umbrella from Sun Mi's hands and runs off)

Sun Mi: (she looks at the rain and looks lost. she puts her bag over head, and is getting ready to make a run for it when someone touches her shoulder and she turns around)

Woo Jin: If you are planning on running through this strong rain, Miss Sun Mi, then you are stronger than what I thought.

Sun Mi: Oh, Mr. Woo Jin!!!!

Woo Jin: Just wait right here. I am going to go get my car to drive you.

Sun Mi: What?? a car?????

Woo Jin: Not long ago I bought a small car. I would have never bought it if there were pretty people like you Miss Sun Mi on the subway. But sometime heavy women ram into me, so that's why I bought it.

Sun Mi: (she looks amazed, and smiles)

Woo Jin: (he winks at Sun Mi) I will be right back. (he goes to the parking garage to get his car)

(Sun Mi felt relieved that she ran into Woo Jin. She feels differently now when she looks at the rain. In front of Sun Mi a car pulls up splashing rain and stops; it is Hyun Chul. )

Hyun Chul: (he opens his window a little) Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!!!!

Hyun Chul: Get in.....

Sun Mi: Well......(she doesn't know what to do or say to Hyun Chul)

(Suddenly another car pulls up next to Hyun Chul's car...Woo Jin gets out with an umbrella and runs to Sun Mi)

Hyun Chul: (He sees Woo Jin, he realizes what is going on, he closes his car window and drives off quickly)

Woo Jin: Miss Sun Mi!!!!

Sun Mi: (she watched Hyun Chul's car as it drives away and disappears)

 


CHAPTER 4 PART 1

 

OFFICE

Hyun Chul continues to have a cold attitude towards Sun Mi these past few days. Everytime Sun Mi goes in and out of Hyun Chul's office she feels as if she is walking on thin ice and her skin feels chilly all over. She doesn't remember doing anything wrong or making a mistake that would cause Hyun Chul to have this chilly attitude towards her. Sun Mi thinks that maybe this is just his true look.
Sun Mi sighs deeply, when suddenly the door to Hyun Chul's office opens and Hyun Chul walks up to Sun Mi...

Sun Mi: (She automatically gets up from her seat)

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi, how is the report I indicated to you this morning coming along?

Sun Mi: I am still getting it ready.

Hyun Chul: Please complete it by tomorrow morning.

Sun Mi: Huh, y..yesss??!!??!!

Hyun Chul: Do you need me to repeat what I said?

Sun Mi: No!...I understand what Mr. Director is saying. I just don't understand why the report has to be ready by tomorrow morning.

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi, do I have to give a reason for every instruction that I give you in order for you to understand?

Sun Mi: Of course not, Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: Then you know what needs to be done. It doesn't matter what else you have to do, this report needs to be completed before tomorrow morning's meeting.

Sun Mi: but...Mr. Director, each department has not sent their materials data sheets to me

Hyun Chul: Aa...Aa...Miss Jin Sun Mi, in society results are more important than process. So, if you tell me that you have a problem, it just sounds like an excuse.

Sun Mi: (her face turns red as can be, suddenly she becomes upset and feels like she wants to throw up)

Hyun Chul: Tomorrow morning's meeting is very important; the main office company chairman is going to be there. So of course, I trust Miss Jin Sun Mi, but please pay careful attention to make the report perfect. (Hyun Chul leaves the room)

Sun Mi: (her eyes begin to water, she tries to calm herself down so that she doesn't start crying, she says to herself) Jin Sun Mi, don't cry. If you cry, then you are going to lose.......Until tomorrow morning?...Ok...I'm going to finish this report even if it takes me all night...(she sits in her seat and enthusiastically begins to call each department)

(It is now close to the end of the day)
Sun Mi: (holding the phone) Daddy, I am going to be late coming home tonight. Don't wait up for me. Please go ahead and have dinner without me.

Gyu Sung: Have you promised to do something with someone?

Sun Mi: No, I have to finish some work.

Gyu Sung: You are busy with a lot of work. Are you going to be real late? What are you going to do about your dinner?

Sun Mi: I don't know yet. As for dinner, there is a restaurant near here that I can order from.

Gyu Sung: All right. Don't come home real late, and don't forget to have some dinner so that you will have the energy to work.

Sun Mi: Yes, daddy.....I know you are going to be lonely, but it is just for tonight. Have a good dinner and tomorrow I will make your favorite food, Hae-Mul-Tang (ocean fish soup).
(Sun Mi can hear Gyu Sung's delightful laughter over the phone, so she too laughs. But then she sees Hyun CHul coming out of his office)

Sun Mi: ( in a quiet voice) Daddy, I have to hang up now. I will see you later at home. (she hangs up the phone and gets up from her seat)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks as cold and stiff as before) Well, Miss Jin Sun Mi work hard!

Sun Mi: (she doesn't feel like talking, but...) Be careful going home, Mr. Director.

(Hyun Chul disappears from the office. Sun Mi plops down into her seat. She barely collected every department's materials data sheets. But, she has to reorganize and edit them, so that they make a complete smooth report. She doesn't have much time. She doesn't feel like having dinner. She just sits in front of her computer and works.)



BAR


Hyun Chul: (He thinks about the assignment he left with Sun Mi. He thinks about how she is going to have to stay late and work, he is starting to feel guilty and nervous)

Sun Dahl: What are you thinking about so much? Let's have a toast.

Hyun Chul: Uh..??? (he looks at Sun Dahl, and they tap glasses)

Sun Dahl: (he takes a sip of his drink and then places his drink onto the table. He looks at Hyun Chul nervously) You are tough on Miss Jin Sun Mi...... Do you particularly not like her?

Hyun Chul: ( he looks at Sun Dahl as if to ask what he was talking about)

Sun Dahl: (he tries to ignore Hyun Chul's eyes) Well,.....I heard a rumor that you are giving Miss Jin Sun Min a lot of stress.

Hyun Chul: (has a light smile)

Sun Dahl: Aye......I can't switch around talking. Actually, I heard it from Ju Hee. Ju Hee and Sun Mi are very close and they talk to each other a lot about this and that. Ju Hee told me that Sun Mi has a lot......(he looks at Hyun Chul's eyes)....well,..just a little ....she looks like she is having a tough time.

Hyun Chul: Oh, Miss Jin Sun Mi said...... that I have been giving her a real hard time?

Sun Dahl: I think I shouldn't have said anything, I feel like I am informing on Miss Jin Sun Mi to you. ( he gets an assurance from Hyun Chul) Anyhow, don't you give Miss Jin Sun Mi a hard time because of what I am saying, okay?

Hyun Chul: (he doesn't say anything and just takes a sip from his drink)

Sun Dahl: Miss Jin Sun Mi has a natural clear mind; she is innocent and pretty. What, is she not your style? I thought the two of you were a dream combination, but I heard from Ju Hee that this is not true. Don't give Miss Jin Sun Mi so much stress. Do you think that people are born to be perfect? The first time doing anything can make somebody confused. I think that she is going to be okay.

Hyun Chul: Senior! What you said makes you sound like Miss Jin Sun Mi's real brother.

Sun Dahl: Yes!...That is I hope Miss Jin Sun Mi is my sister....Don't you think Miss Jin Sun Mi and I have the same smile?...Hmmm? (he smiles)

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Dahl is disbelief and smiles back)

(for a short time Hyun Chul and Sun Dahl sit in silence. Little by little the liquer bottle is being emptied)

Hyun Chul: I don't know what is wrong with me.

Sun Dahl: Huh...What???

Hyun Chul: I don't know why I suddenly act so mean tempered and narrow minded...

Sun Dahl: What do you mean "suddenly act mean tempered"?

Hyun Chul: Senior!... (Hyun Chul smiles)....Lately, I try so hard to be mean to someone without any reason...but my heart does not feel that way!...Everytime, I see this person I don't know why but I start to act and talk in a mean way.

Sun Dahl: (his eyes open a little) Female or male????

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Dahl with an expressionless face)

Sun Dahl: It is a female?...Am I right???

Hyun Chul: (He picks up his glass full of liquer)

Sun Dahl: (he thinks that he has found out some big news and grows restless) I feel like immediatley going to the tv station and broadcasting to everyone in the world this urgent news. You know what the headline is?...."Yun Hyun Chul finally has fallen in love."

Hyun Chul: (he stops in the middle of taking a drink and puts his glass back onto the table) Senior!

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl hits Hyun Chul on the back) Hey!!!......You have finally found someone who you can be matched with. Do you want me to guess who it is? Clearly, you saw your woman with another guy and they looked very close and affectionate towards one another. After you saw that, you decided to use your specialty...STUBBORNESS. Didn't you???

Hyun Chul: What!?!?!...specialty???

Sun Dahl: Hey, you're being jealous now.......HA HA HA HA......Oh, boy. (Sun Dahl laughs continously)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Dahl's laughter makes Hyun Chul stunned, but he becomes sincere)...Jealous?

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl gets up and taunts Hyun Chul a little, then he sits down) Well, who is it,...Hmmm? Anyhow you have already told me how you feel, you might as well tell me who is it. Do I know her? That way I can help you.

Hyun Chul: (Suddenly, he thinks about Sun Mi and immediatley his heart begins to worry, he suddenly get up from his chair) Senior!!...I am going to get up first.

Sun Dahl: What ?!?!?!??!?!?!

(Sun Dahl sees that Hyun Chul is already running out of the bar. Sun Dahl sits hopelessly without saying a word. His eyes are amazed.)



FRONT OF MBS


(Hyun Chul gets out of a taxi. He can't even get himself to go inside the building. He just looks up at the light from his office window. Suddenly, he picks up his cell phone.)



SECRETARY ROOM

(It's late at night. Sun Mi frequently adjusts and edits, gradually little by little she finishes the report. She has finally calmed down. Suddenly, someone knocks on her office door. A man enters...)

Man: Are you Miss Jin Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: I am, can I help you.

Man: I am here to deliver Sushi to you. ( he places a package on Sun Mi's table)

Sun Mi: (her eyes become big, and confused) I didn't order any Sushi, I think you have delievered this to the wrong place.

Man: A man called the order in and told me to deliver it here. Enjoy the meal.

(the man bows and leaves)

Sun Mi: (she inclines her head) Who could have ordered this? Daddy? Maybe, Mr. Woo Jin? (Sun Mi shakes her head). No, they don't know that I am here working late. Then , maybe somebody up there sent it to me (she looks up)?

(with a light smile, she picks up the package and opens the dinner box. Inside are appetizing sushi that automatically makes her mouth water. She picks one up and puts in her mouth, there is a stinging taste from the mustard.......But, it tastes so good that it melts in her mouth.)

Sun Mi: Ummm, tastes so good. Anyhow I was really hungry. (loudly she says...) thank you very much!...(quiet voice) I don't know who sent this to me. (again she picks one up and puts in her mouth. she sits back down at her computer and looks at the monitor).



FRONT OF MBS

(Hyun Chul gets out a cigarette. The smoke is thick. Hyun Chul looks up again at the light glimmering from his office window. He finishes his cigarette. He then goes and sits at the corner on a staircase. He remembers what Sun Dahl said " Yun Hyun Chul has finally fallen in love." Little by little Hyun Chul's mouth appears to be smiling. And finally he smiles big.)

 

 

"Lovely You" Chapter 4 Part 2

#Front of Sun Mi House
It almost 11 Olock and Gyu Sung is walking back and forth in front of his house waiting for Sun Mi to return home. Suddenly he sees Sun Mi walking toward his house

Gyu Sung: Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks very tired and walks with drooping shoulders, she raises her head.) Daddy!! (the moment Sun Mi sees her father ?it is sorrow? Suddenly, Sun Mi feels a lot of sorrow welling up in her but takes pains to keep it inside her heart. She runs to the Gyu Sung)

Gyu Sung: Little rascal!! Why do you come home this late? Without you that TV station can process anything? Keeping you at work late is not right, Do you know what time it is now?

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi folds Gyu Sung arms) Yes, it is Daddy. I going to keep asking for double pay?

Guy Sung: (passes his hands over Sun Mi face) Today has made you look very tired...it is pitiful to see your face. Did you eat the dinner?

Sun Mi: (suddenly she remembers the sushi If it wasn daddy, then who sent me the sushi. Yes, I not going to starve, so don worry about me daddy.

Gyu Sung: By the way, I think I going to meet with your Boss if he is already doing this. In the future he could become worse.

Sun Mi: Daddy!! You can do that I not a one or two year old kid.

Guy Sung: That it is right. Youe a not a kid, you’re a grown up lady. Keeping you at work this late, he should have brought you home safely- at least he can do that much.

Sun Mi: He was going to bring me safely home, but I was very uncomfortable so I said no to him. He caught a taxi for me.

Gyu Sung: ( his face a little calm) sore?

Sun Mi: Yes daddy (Sun Mi looks a little bitter) it is Mr. director. He is very good person.


Next Day Secretary Room

Sun Mi: (same as usual, she has bright smile) Hi! Good morning, Mr. Director!!


Hyun Chul: ( Hyun Chul did not expect Sun Mi attitude. Sun Mi looked very glad to see him and she gave him a bright smile, the moment Hyun Chul saw Sun Mi he got confused, he tried to clear his throat by coughing to attract attention). Yes. Good morning.

#Director Room

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul eyes catches the top of his desk where the papers were laid straight, he rested his chin on his hand, for a short time Hyun Chul fell into thinking)

(Sun Mi quietly knocks on Hyun Chul door. He sees Sun Mi enter with the His coffee)

(Hyun Chul thought she can tell him how good she looks, she kept a calm intellectual personality and was wearing a neat white blouse and a beige skirt that went to the edge of her knees. Her beautiful shape and slender body was outstanding. The soft morning sunlight made Sun Mi more beautiful Sun Mi a dazzling beauty come close to him)

Hyun Chul: (looking at Sun Mi Hyun Chul heart goes pit-a-pat. He suddenly starts looking at top of his desk and rummaging through the paper)

Sun Mi: (places the coffee on his desk) May I have a word with you?

Hyun Chul: (he doesn even look up at Sun Mi) I will talk to you later.

Sun Mi: You have 30 minutes left before you have to catch the meeting. My words just take 5 minutes.

Hyun Chul: (only then Hyun Chul raises his head and looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (put pledge to her heart, becomes tense)

Hyun Chul: (sits deeply back into his seat. He acts like he is getting prepared for Sun Mi to talk, he looks clearly into Sun Mi face)

Sun Mi: Yesterday you gave a very good speech, In society results are more important than process That advice on my future social life I shall remember it a long time, it is just like medicine

Hyun Chul: ???

Sun Mi: But, I would like to give you some advice. You may think that I am behaving conceited, but, sometimes I think you should listen to inferior words, that is a superior based position.

Hyun Chul: (a little tense) Well, let me listen to what you want to say.


Sun Mi: It is just like yesterday, suddenly you advanced the date for the data. At least you could have explained the details, you did not have to speak in a commanding tone. If you explain why I have to do this work and you don explain and just command me to do it makes an enormous difference. You indicated a report to be finished by the end of this week. Suddenly I have to do it in advance to finish by this morning! If you can at least give me a reason or short explanation, if you can explain...

Hyun Chul: If I give an explanation then. it is you will have a lighter feeling of hurt

Sun Mi: (her eyes get big?she puts her head down to avoid Hyun Chul eyes)?.yes

Hyun Chul: (immediately Hyun Chul brushes out a smile)

Sun Mi: I have now informed Mr. Director, I know it wasn very polite. (Sun Mi face gets more red) But, you are going to be working more in the future then working during the present day. So what I saying to you is please just think about what I trying to say in the future when many other people are going to be accompanying Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Mi expressionless face)

Sun Mi: (looks very tense and unstimulated. Her expression is like she is waiting for the punishment)

Hyun Chul: Are you finished Miss Jin Sun Mi?

Sun Mi: Yes

Hyun Chul: (he sat up straight and looked at the top of his desk at the papers) Well then you can go back to work

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feeling unbearably ashamed, she gets tearful eyes and looks furtively wry in the face. Then Sun Mi leaves Hyun Chul office)

Hyun Chul: (He has a paper in his hand that he then puts down to his desk as Sun Mi steps out of his office. Hyun Chul gazes for long time. He leans back in his chair with the his hand behind the head, Hyun Chul has a gentle smile) Oh, this is a brave young lady Where are you going to cry

#The Company Rooftop

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi runs to the rooftop. Sun Mi constantly has tearful eyes and tears come down? Your a fool, why do you cry I doing fine? truly I doing fine.I have to correct clearly when I am being mistreated. Jin Sun Mi your perfectly doing well?I just going to cry only today just once.

#Conference Room

At a oval-table in the conference room in front of Hyun Chul chair at the head of the table, Sun Mi prepares last night’s late written report.
In front of each person is a report on top of the round- table. Based on the report, Hyun Chul eagerly makes an announcement in front of everybody, Chairman Yun looking at Hyun Chul, he does not want to even miss one of his son speeches, he is quite pleased with his son, Hyun Chul. It reminds the supreme leader Chairman Yun of the scores of years he lead the titanic group. He already can see the familiar Moon Young TV station present and future. Also, he can see his son, Hyun Chul, passion and foresight in the work.

#Secretary Room (same time as Hyun Chul meeting)

Sun Mi: (for some measure she is calm, she straightens her clothes and pulls her chair out from her desk and sits in her seat, just the same as any other time. she opens her mail and she reads Hyun Chul instructions, she reads down to next line and goes down And a couple of lines he left a space, she sees P.S.
Sun Mi eyes get tense)

P.S. this morning Miss Jin Sun Mi gave a pointed advice, I have to remember for a long time over and over that advice have a heavy responsibility to lead many employees. It is just like medicine Miss Jin Sun Mi this is your first step into society and it is a fresh place for work women keep many people at work and lead, I have insufficient knowledge in what you said, I am a step by step stage director.
In the future if I being unreal or not being a gentleman or inhumane, if you see this don’t hesitate to indicate it to me as you did today. I think we can be a fascinating combination. Me and Miss Jin Sun Mi; we are two people, not as director and secretary. We can help each other’s weak points and give advice for the hard work you did last night, thank very much, you made a perfectly wonderful report.

(For a moment Sun Mi is stunned, again she reads her mail. She just doesn know what to say he has a happy smile and Sun Mi heart goes pit-a-pat. She wants to jump, she feels like she can reach the sky.)

#Conference Room

(the meeting finishes, in the conference room only Chairman Yun and Hyun Chul are left)

Chairman Yun: When I suddenly changed the business trip to earlier, it made you work very hard.

Hyun Chul: (thinking about Sun Mi, he automatically smiles) Truly the person that especially did the hard work is not here.

Chairman Yun: Huh??

Hyun Chul: It is nothing

Chairman Yun: This time I going by myself but next time I want you to go along with me You need to broaden your view of your work, have a plan of business, it must be dangerous to be locked in one own’s thinking. Do continue interchanging effort so study, you have to read more seriously and quickly than anybody in this world in this business, be a high seat place reader, that is the reason why I sent you to study abroad.

Hyun Chul: I will keep that in mind

Chairman Yun: Matter of the fact, you rascal. Do you come home often to see your mother, she gets exhausted waiting for youesterday, she declared war she told me She asked me to give you a message.

Hyun Chul: What, did she say?

Chairman Yun: First of all, she wants to take out your room she is going to get rid of your furniture and get rid of anything you have in your room.

Hyun Chul: (covers his mouth with his hand and smiles)

Chairman Yun: When I go on this business trip, she will be very lonely, so you better go to see your mother often

Hyun Chul: Don worry. Anyhow I was thinking that tomorrow I would go to see her

#Secretary Room

(Hyun Chul enters the room, he returns from the meeting, Sun Mi gets up from her seat)

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi by the way I told you before that every time I pass by you you don need to get up

Sun Mi: It has already become a habit

Hyun Chul: May I have one cup of coffee (Hyun Chul enters his office)

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!!

Hyun Chul: (he turns around and looks at sun Mi)

Sun Mi: At this time How about American style, lighter coffee?

Hyun Chul: (quietly smiles) Umm yes, it must be nice

Sun Mi: (the whole time Sun Mi felt like she was being mistreated by Hyun Chul, but his e-mail made her heart become softer, she felt very thankful. Sun Mi return a salute to give her specialty warm smile to Hyun Chul, she gives him a big bright smile)

 


"Lovely You" Chapter 5

 

In no time, Hyun Chul and Sun Mi dispose of matters handily. The two of them are becoming a fascinating combination.
In the past, Hyun Chul does everything like a man of self-assertion (a stubborn fellow). At the present time, he does not leave one or two things but lets the this and that way of everything depend on Sun Mi.
Even Sun Mi can already tell Hyun Chul's mood and condition by the expression in his eyes and some of his gestures.

CONFERENCE ROOM
(Hyun Chul sits at the head of an oval table surrounded by people)

Hyun Chul: (he stares at the Woo Jin who is sitting far away) Mr. Kim Woo Jin, do you like basketball?

Woo Jin: (has a expressionless face in response to Hyun Chul's unexpected question) Yes, I do.

Hyun Chul: That is good. Someday let us play a match. Just playing the game is not fun, so we will make a bet.... how about it?

Woo Jin: (harsh words) That would be okay.

Hyun Chul: (he looks around at everyone sitting at the table and smiles) In baseball or basketball there is always a dream team. Dream team......I like these words very much. It sounds proffesional and for some reason creates a fresh amatuer feeling. It is a condition that no longer searches for good opportunities, a non-stop condition, never hateful, an expression of confidence. This is my own way of kind of putting meaning into these words. (Hyun Chul feels everyone's tense expression and steady gaze at him, he can even hear some people swallow.)

Hyun Chul: (with a self-confident expression in his eyes and his words) I even think that I want to organize a dream team. Right now everyone sitting in this room has been working with familiar passion and capacity at this broadcasting station. Everybody here will be elected by the dream team members. (Hyun Chul's speech encourages everyone so that they naturally begin to feel self-confident and excited.)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul can perceive a change in the passions by the workers at the station. He is satisfied by the people) This coming Spring, we will reorganize. It is a matter of life and death that MBS hang on to and promote "Morning with Eve". (he takes a rest) Honestly, it all depends on everybody's helping hand. (everyone's face could see a tragic decision coming, it doesn't matter what they do, they are going to make the best program. In the crowd of people they could see the looks from Sun Dahl, Je Hee, and Young Mi.)

SECRETARY ROOM


(Knock Knock. Somebody knocks on Sun Mi's door and a middle-aged woman enters. Her appearance and personal ornaments indicated that she was very much a upper-class woman.)

Sun Mi: (she stops working and gets up from her seat) May I help you Maam?

Mrs. Lee: (she looks carefully and curiously at Sun Mi) Is this Director Yun Hyun Chul's office?

Sun Mi: Yes, you are right. Do you need to see Mr. Director?

Mrs. Lee: Yes. (she looks carefully at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she walks up to Mrs. Lee) Have you made an appointment?

Mrs. Lee: No. Is Director Yun in his office at this moment?

Sun Mi: No, he is in a conference meeting. (she looks at her watch) There is another 30 minutes left before the meeting is over. Do you want to wait inside the room?

Mrs. Lee: Will it be alright for me to do that.....

Sun Mi: (she gives Mrs. Lee a bright smile) Yes, it is........this way, please.

Mrs. Lee: (she thinks that Sun Mi has a really nice smile. she follows Sun Mi as she leads her into Hyun Chul's room)

DIRECTOR'S ROOM

Mrs. Lee: (this is the first time she has come to see her son's work place. it is quite pleasing....a deep emotion of freshness....she looks and pays attention to Hyun Chul's office.)

Sun Mi: (looking at Mrs. Lee's appearance and think to herself "who is she?". Sun Mi tries to guess in her own way. Sun Mi points to the sofa) Please sit down here. Mr. Director will be here soon.

Mrs. Lee: Thank you.

Sun Mi: Would you like a cup of tea while you wait?

Mrs. Lee: Ummm......May I have a cup of green tea?

Sun Mi: Okay, I will go and get it. It will be back in a minute.

Mrs. Lee: (Sun Mi leaves Hyun Chul's office and Mrs. Lee watches her. From the first time she saw Sun Mi she seemed agreeable. Sun Mi's first impression has touched Mrs. Lee's heart and made her feel pleasant.)

A HALLWAY

(after finishing the meeting, Hyun Chul walks with Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: (he looks at Hyun Chul respectfully) Today, I saw a different appearance in you. I'll tell you the truth, the whole time I thought about condemning you. I am not talking about your real ability...ummm...what I am saying is.....accroding to your age and experience, I thought you were still unfamiliar with the people here, and I was worried about you. But today your appearance, .. WOW...you had an overflow of charisma that caught everyone's attention.

Hyun Chul: (he had a satisfying smile on his face)

Sun Dahl: This time I think that "Morning with Eve" with its repeated big promotions will be better than any other work. In broadcasting or any other business, if the boss believes that his employees are the best and he leans on them, no one has a choice but to work good. Even I am too. Everyone's spirit will rise to the sky and they will be sparkling with ideas. How about that Mr. Director?

(Behind Hyun Chul and Sun Dahl, Woo Jin walks with Young Mi)

Young Mi: (looks at Hyun Chul's back with courteous sparkling eyes) Many times I feel that Mr. Director Yun looks charming but to day he looked uniquely more charming.

Woo Jin: (from the beginning of working at this company, Woo Jin has already heard many stories about Hyun Chul- his family, his background, his academics, his distinguished look, his natural working attitude, etc. But Woo Jin thinks that Hyun Chul belongs to a different category that makes Woo Jin feel very sarcastic. Today, Hyun Chul had an unexpected look, but not yet, he would have to see Hyun Chul's actions more to decide what he thinks about him.)

Young Mi: Anyhow,...I am very happy to be working with you again Mr. Kim. How about it Mr. Kim?

Woo Jin: Huh....Ah, yes. I am happy to be working on the same team as Miss Young Mi.

Young Mi: (flirting smiling) Oh my, are you thinking what I am thinking Mr. Kim?

Woo Jin: (inside takes another breath)

Young Mi: Ah....I am so happy. I am going to be working with two stylish men- Director Yun and Mr. Kim.

Woo Jin: Ummm....I have a lunch appointment with somebody... I have to leave. (already Woo Jin gets up and runs away)

Young Mi: (Woo Jin walks out so coldly that Young Mi gets a little upset, but she thinks about the future and automatically begins to smile)


DIRECTORS ROOM


(Hyun Chul hears from Sun Mi that he has a guest waiting for him in his office. Hyun Chul enters his room)

Mrs. Lee: (she walks back and forth in front of the bookcase. She hears the door open.) Director Yun!!!

Hyun Chul: (he looks surprised) Mother!!!!!

Mrs. Lee: (she has no choice but to give a maternal smile because he is her son, she walks up to him) Wow, from this place my son looks very different. Are you Hyun Chul?

Hyun Chul: (curtly) What are you doing here?

Mrs. Lee: (she feels mistreated) Unfriendly rascal! Even if you are not even happy to see me....do you have to make that face.

Hyun Chul: Ah....Mother....when did I do that... (leaving his statement vague). Anyhow, truely what is the problem?

Mrs. Lee: (hers eyes continue to show a feeling of mistreatment) When a mother come see her son does she have to have a reason. I just came because I missed you. If I don't have a reason you act like I can't even put my foot in this room.

Hyun Chul: (if she is mad it is hard to appease her. She still acts like a young girl. Rub her the wrong way and no tellng what will happen next. Hyun Chul hugs his mother) Mother...I am glad you are here...by the way...I missed hugging you very much.....(he looks at Mrs. Lee and gives her a big smile)

Mrs. Lee: (she acts like she has no choice but to pinch Hyun Chul's arms) Get away from me rascal.

Hyun Chul: (smiles, and loosens his arms from Mrs. Lee)

Mrs. Lee: Your room is neat and pretty. I was looking around and I don't think that you are doing useless work. You may think that I spend all my time inside a house and don't know anything but just looking at your desk I can tell if you have been working hard or not.

Hyun Chul: (with a gentle smile) What kind of person do you think father is, he never gives me anything special because I am his son...still, in front of father I become tense

Mrs. Lee: That is true. Your father is very unadaptable.

Hyun Chul: (has a light smile) Yes...

Mrs. Lee: (feels good to laugh) For a long time you haven't bought me lunch, so I have come to ask you to take me to lunch....you haven't promised someone else?

Hyun Chul: Even if I promised someone I would cancel since my beautiful mother has come to visit me, right?

Mrs. Lee: (she gives Hyun Chul a scowl look) Ay...you rascal......You are completely sneaky. Anyhow, you have to escort me to a wonderful place.

Hyun Chul: Yes Mamm!

Mrs. Lee: Well, Hyun Chul....(she rolls her curious eyes) Is that your secretary outside?

Hyun Chul: Oh, Miss Jin Sun Mi.

Mrs. Lee: Her name is Jun Sun Mi? Jin...Sun Mi......Oh, she has a very pretty name...even her face is pretty...she also has a pretty heart

Hyun Chul: Mother, how do you know Miss Jin Sun Mi has a pretty heart or not?

Mrs. Lee: Beginning when I came here. You don't know how kind and sweet she was, she gave me a cup of warm green tea.

Hyun Chul: (inside his heart is feeling very good to hear this, but he acted unconcious) All secretaries have to be kind to anyone.

Mrs. Lee: Do you think that I don't know how to tell if someone is pretending to be kind or from their own heart. Also her bright smile was very pretty...it reminds me of when I was young.

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi come across his mind, suddenly his heart grows restless. he is very happy that his mother has a good impression of Sun Mi)

Mrs. Lee: What kind of family does she have?...Truely, they raised their daughter in a fine way. I wonder how much warm-hearted she is at home. I only have two blunt sons (she looks quickly at Hyun Chul). If not, at least you can bring that type of daughter-in-law to me. Ay...I have two sons, but they both are workaholics like their father.

Hyun Chul: (he wants his mother to stop talking) Mother!!!!

Mrs. Lee: Does Miss Jin Sun Mi have a boyfriend?

Hyun Chul: Mother!!!!!

Mrs. Lee: I just want to know...I'm hungry, lets go and eat...Hurry up.

Hyun Chul: (a gentle smile)


SECRETARY ROOM

Mrs. Lee: (she looks at Sun Mi with a familiar smile) Thank you for the green tea. It was good.

Sun Mi: Yes,...Be careful.

Hyun Chul: I am going out to lunch with my mother. I will be back after lunch.

Sun Mi: (Mother!!! Suddenly her eyes get big)

Mrs. Lee: See you again next time. Miss Jin Sun Mi, is it okay if I come here often.

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul thought that his mother was going to talk for a long time. She may create an awkward situation for Sun Mi or him. Before his mother could say something, he tries to get her out of there) Mother, this afternoon I have an important appointment, lets go (he pushes his mother)

Mrs. Lee: Bye, Miss Jin Sun Mi. Next time we will eat some lunch together.

Sun Mi: (still confused) Yes.

(looks like Mrs. Lee is being dragged by Hyun Chul as they leave Sun Mi's room. Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul and Mrs. Lee and for a moment is stunned)

FRONT OF ELEVATOR

(Sun Mi and Woo Jin accidentally meet, they wait for the elevator, and for a short time they have a chat.)

Woo Jin: We work for the same TV station and still I have a hard time seeing Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: I am always in the same place. Mr. Woo Jin spends too much time on outside work.

Woo Jin: I don't know why I became a cameraman (truely, but he acted like it was a joke) Until now, I have never regretted my work not even for one moment. But, truely, now I don't like my job.

Sun Mi: (she expected a joke, and smiled) Me too....I love my work but everytime I stay inside I feel stuffy. At that time I envy Mr. Woo Jin, who gets to carry a camera this way and that way.

(Hyun Chul returns from lunch. He looks at Sun Mi and Woo Jin. He becomes uncomfortable mood. he quietly stands behind them)

 

 

Lovely You Chapter 5 – part 2

 

Woo Jin: (carefully) Miss Sun Mi, do you want to see some field shots? What I mean is...if you have time.

Sun Mi: Really?? Really, I can do that?

Woo Jin: (Sun Mi's unexpected response makes Woo Jin feel good) Yes, of course.

Sun Mi: Truely, I am just an employee of the TV station, until now I have never seen anyone inside the TV station taking shots.

Woo Jin: So it is...then we will arrange a time. This weekend I am scheduled to shoot. How about it?

Sun Mi: This weekend... (she thinks for a little while) Yes, very well.

(at the same time, the elevator arrives to the first floor, Sun Mi and Woo Jin step into the elevator and turn around, Sun Mi sees Hyun Chul standing outside the elevator, Hyun Chul's face had a firm look)

Hyun Chul: (he doesn't get into the elevator, he just continues to stand outside the elevator)

Sun Mi: (she pushes the "open door" button) Mr. Director!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he unwillingly rides with them)

(gradually the elevator goes up, a short time later they feel like they are suffocating, the three of them get figety and are too nervous to stand still)

(on the 5th floor the elevator opens)

Woo Jin: (looks at Sun Mi and makes a signal to let her know that he will call her later, he makes a silent bow toward Hyun Chul, and gets out of the elevator)

(again the elevator starts to move slowly up)

Sun Mi: (she can feel Hyun Chul's coldness, she feels herself shrinking with fear, she tries to destroy the uncomfortable atmosphere) Did Mrs. Lee go home safely?

Hyun Chul: (in a short cold manner) Yes!

Sun Mi: (she tries to talk to Hyun Chul again, but the elevator finally stops at their floor)

Hyun Chul: (as soon as the elevator door opens, he immediately gets out of the elevator without looking at Sun Mi, he walks away at a quick pace)

Sun Mi: (she walks out of the elevator after Hyun Chul, she watches Hyun Chul's back as he walks away)

DIRECTOR ROOM

(Hyun Chul rests his head on his hands and remembers what Woo Jin and Sun Mi were talking about, Hyun Chul begins to feel more bad, he closes his eyes and sits back into his seat, suddenly for a moment he has a sparkle in his eyes, he pushes a interoffice phone)

Sun Mi: Yes, Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: Prepare for going out.

Sun Mi: Huh????

(Hyun Chul jumps up from his chair and walks toward his door)

SECRETARY ROOM

Hyun Chul: (soon after, he comes out from his office) Come with me.

Sun Mi: Where?????

Hyun Chul: (swings a door open , Hyun Chul is already walking out of the room)

Sun Mi: (she doesn't know what is going on, she just follows Hyun Chul)

A HALLWAY

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul is way ahead of Sun Mi, Sun Mi walks quickly and steps close to him)......Mr. Director!!!!

Hyun Chul: (gives Sun Mi a side glance)

Sun Mi: Mr. Director, where are we going? Do you think I should know?

Hyun Chul: (suddenly Hyun Chul stops walking) Ummm.....let me say this is an inspection ......Once upon a time, there was a king who would disguise himself and go looking everywhere at the people to see how they were. But I am not a king, so I do not have to disguise myself. But sometimes I do go looking around the entire station to console and encourage every employee.

Sun Mi: (she swallows)

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi you work as my arm and leg, so I think you need to become accustomed to what the employees are doing so that you know how to manage the station. How about it?

Sun Mi: .........yes, sure

Hyun Chul: Shall we begin?

Sun Mi: Yes!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi's highheels) Our station is very big, your feet may feel painful.

Sun Mi: (her face turns red) That is alright, it is no problem.(the unexpected future makes her feel restless and her heart leaps for joy)

A MONTAGE

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi walk front to back and sometimes side by side looking at every nook and corner of the station. Hyun Chul's moral obligation is to encourage and inspect every dimension of his employees. But truely inside Hyun Chul's heart he was concerned when he heard that Sun Mi had never seen the station, and he wants to show her before Woo Jin gets a chance. During the on-the-spot inspection, Sun Mi got to see many famous stars. Sun Mi rolls her eyes in excitement and admiration for everything. Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi's face and his face becomes happy and lively....when Hyun Chul's eyes look against Sun Mi's eyes he turns his face quickly. He tries to act dignified, like a person complete with duty.)


LAST NEWS CENTER

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he turns around to look at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Thank you very much. What I mean is for Mr. Director's intention...you probably came here for a business matter, but for me it was a favor that made my dreams come true. Even the welcomes from everyone was very easy and comfortable.

Hyun Chul: (gives Sun Mi a small smile)

Sun Mi: (she sees Hyun Chul smile and she tries to put her head down)

Hyun Chul: How are your feet, are they alright?

Sun Mi: Yes? (a little in pain) Yes......I am stronger than what you think I am. (Sun Mi smiles brightly, a smile nobody can copy)

Hyun Chul: (he is distracted, Hyun Chul's eyes look absent-mindedly at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She sees Hyun Chul staring at her, her bright smile slowly disappears)

(for a moment, Hyun Chul and Sun Mi gaze at each other. Suddenly, they wake up had stop looking at each other. They pretend nothing happened.)

Hyun Chul: (he coughs once) Miss Sun Mi, do you like baseball?

Sun Mi: Yes, not very much...just a little.

Hyun Chul: Then......what are you doing this weekend? I'm making plans to go see a baseball game.

Sun Mi: (her eyes get big) Huh???

Hyun Chul: Ummm.....today, when I looked at you....I noticed that Miss Jin Sun Mi likes the broadcasting scene very much. If you have time this weekend, and if Miss Jin Sun Mi wants, we can go to a real basebal game together and I will introduce you to famouse commentator Kim Won Ile. If you don't mind.

Sun Mi: Ay...yes.

Hyun Chul: This is absolutely not a business matter, so you don't need to burdon yourself with anything. (This matter will apprehend Woo Jin. Hyun Chul gets very nervous about how Sun Mi is going to answer)

Sun Mi: Well....(she remembers that she promised Woo Jin) I apologize, but this weekend I have already promised a friend.

Hyun Chul: (for a moment his face becomes hard, Hyun Chul thought that Sun Mi was going to cancel her promise with Woo Jin, he is very disappointed and sad. He starts to get mad inside.) It is okay you don't have to feel so bad. Lets go, hurry....this news center is the last order of the day.

Sun Mi: (she thought of all occasions why this weekend, she looks at Hyun Chul from behind and she gets frustrated, suddenly she starts to think) Mr. Director!!!

Hyun Chul: (he comes to a stop, he turns around to look at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she comes close to Hyun Chul)......What time do you want to go to the baseball game?

Hyun Chul: (his voice comes out coldly) It is not necessary to make it an obligation. You don't have to do me any favors.

Sun Mi: No, I want to see the baseball game. (she pauses for a moment)....I want to go with Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Mi for a long time without saying anything) The baseball game starts at 3 o'clock, I am going to be there when it starts to when it finishes somewhere in or near the MBS relay broadcast

 


LOVELY YOU Chapter 6 Part 1

 

FIELD SHOOTING LOCATION

[Every where all the staff is busily getting ready for the shoot. Inside one group Woo Jin is arranging the position of the camera. He positions the cameras this way and that way to get the best camera angle, but Woo Jin is also anxious as he is waiting for Sun Mi to arrive. At that time, Woo Jin sees Sun Mi walking toward him with a soft step. She is wearing a light outfit; Woo Jin has only seen Sun Mi in formal neat dress. Woo Jin thought that Sun Mi's outfit today was very different, that makes Woo Jin's heart flutter.]

Woo Jin: (he stops working and runs to Sun Mi) Miss Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (with a bright smile) Mr. Woo Jin. I hope that I am not late.

Woo Jin: No, Miss Sun Mi. (Woo Jin is so pleased with Sun Mi's visit that he works dizzily, he wants to explain everything to Sun Mi even though his heart is shaking with excitement.)

Sun Mi: (she is unaware of Woo Jin's feelings) This is the weekend. They don't get the day off to rest. Everyone works very hard. It must not be easy to make a broadcasr. Am I right?

Woo Jin: Yes......Do you have a hard time finding this place?

Sun Mi: No problem, it was straight off from the subway. (she looks around the scene) Thre are a lot of spectators.

Woo Jin: (he looks around the scene too) Sometimes they make it difficult to shoot, but otherwise the numerous spectators watching us gives us energy. Especially today, Miss Sun Mi's visit here makes my body full of energy automatically.

Sun Mi: from here, I am going to do a lot of cheering. Have a good shoot. I will hope for the best.

Woo Jin: (has a small smile)

[At that time Sun Mi hears someone call for Woo Jin]

Sun Mi: Hurry Mr. Woo Jin. I don't want to get you into trouble.

Woo Jin: You don't have to worry about that Miss Sun Mi. (he holds onto her arm and leads her close to his camea position) Maybe, you will be bored.

Sun Mi: I don't think so, I am already very excited. (she can feel the other staff's eyes watching them) Don't worry about me. Go back to your work Mr. Woo Jin, quickly.

Woo Jin: Alright, I will. See you later. (he runs bck to his shooting position. he knows that Sun Mi is watching him from behind. He is so happy that he is speechless)

Sun Mi: (she watches Woo Jin with a good feeling, she then stealthly looks at her wrist watch)

[It takes several hours of filming to produce a few minutes of broadcasting. After taking many NG scenes they gain important scene. Under the dazzling sun, Woo Jin works seriously and uses all of his energy and passion to get the important scenes.]

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi quietly watches Woo Jin's many different looks. She smiles quietly, but she becomes involved in unconciously looking at her wrist watch.)

[the shooting takes a long time. as time passes Sun Mi looks repeatedly at her wrist watch. Somehow Sun Mi looks anxious.
Finally, the PD drops the OK sign to signal that the shooting day is complete]

Woo Jin: (he looks very satisfied and walks toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she smiles) You did well, Mr. Woo Jin. I didn't know that you had to go through all this hard work during the shooting of just a couple of scenes.

Woo Jin: Today, is steadily getting better. On many other days, shooting takes longer then today.

Sun Mi: Every work is hard, not even one thing can be easy.

Woo Jin: Anyhow, today I think that Miss Sun Mi's support made us finish shooting fast and I am going to buy you dinner. Wait here for a minute.

Sun Mi: (she looks awkwardly at Woo Jin) Mr. Woo Jin.

Woo Jin: (he trns around and looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Well......(she doesn't know what to say) I think that I can't go to dinner with you Mr. Woo Jin.

Woo Jin: (he looks very disappointed) Do you have another appointment?

Sun Mi: No not that. I have to go home and prepare this and that because a friend of my father's is coming over. (Sun Mi shrinks as she lies so easily , she feels regret for Woo Jin)

Woo Jin: Really, well what can I do (Woo Jin has wanted for so long to have some time with Sun Mi) Just a minute, I am going to take you home.

Sun Mi: No Mr. Woo Jin, don't do that. You look very tired and it is probably rush hour. I am just going to take the subway.

Woo Jin: But you came all this way to visit me......

Sun Mi: Mr. Woo Jin, truely I am fine. I am the one who should feel bad. Honestly I am very sorry. Instead I am going to buy you dinner next time.

THE JAHN SHIL BASEBALL FIELD (GROUND)

[There was no vacant seats left, the baseball field was packed with people. The crowd of people were noisy and rooters sing.
It is already a little dark, early in the evening. The game is in the 9th inning.
The crowd's eyes were strained and filled with excitement. There was one man who was different than everyone else. He is not interested in the game. He has an intent hard look on his face. At the present time he is filled with darkness, next to him is an empty seat]

Sun Mi: (she doesn't know how fast and far she had run...after running she takes a hard breath that could fill her up to her chin, she straightens herself up. She nervously looks around to find Hyun Chul. She is completely anxious... she is like that for a long time. Finally she see Hyun Chul sitting far away. Suddenly Sun Mi gets a strange feeling in her heart, she wants to cry...she walks a little slowly....she comes close to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks down, he doesn't even know that Sun Mi is close to him. At that moment Hyun Chul hears a soft voice)

Sun Mi: Is this seat taken?

Hyun Chul: (Just as heart, his neck becomes hardened. Hyun Chul puts all if his strength into raising his head to look at Sun Mi)

[Suddenly the crowd of people stand up from their seats and scream together. The scoreboard clearly says that there were two homeruns scored]

Hyun Chul: (he slowly gets up from his seat, he stares at Sun Mi)

[The homeruns make the crowd of people dramatically get up, they hug each other, and happily cheer. But no one's feelings could compare to the feeling of these two people at this moment. Their hearts were tingly]

[In this whole wide baseball field, only Hyun Chul and Sun Mi exist despite the noisy outcries of the crowd. They hear only the sound of echos.. They can't hear anything or see anything. They onyl stare at each others eyes.]

Sun Mi: Am I too late Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: No...the game...is not over yet.

[A moment later Hyun Chul and Sun Mi sit side by side and watch the game. They look as if they are growing restless and begin to assimilate with the crowd of people. Together they clap their hands and give a cheer, but Hyun Chul and Sun Mi feel only each other's hearts]

[After the game finishes, the crowd of people leave the baseball field like a tidel wave]

[MBS relay broadcasting station...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi are with Kim Won Ihl, the sport commentator. Hyun Chul and Sun Mi explain why they came together to the baseball game, but Kim Won Ihl just faintly smiles with a great significant look in his eyes. Hyun Chul and Sun Mi don't mind Kim Won Ihl's expression; their true feeling is that they don't want to explain anymore to him.]

NEAR JAHN SHIL BASEBALL FIELD

[The relationship between these two people is that they are not lovers and they are not friends, they don't even match well as a simple employee and employer. They look like a beautiful couple in the pictures. They walk with a little space between them; they feel awkward.]

Sun Mi: (she tries to escape from her awkward feeling) Truely, today...I realized the beginning of baseball is the 9th inning.

Hyun Chul: (with a gentle smile, then he whines about Sun Mi coming late to the baseball field, he starts to ask a picking question) Did you meet your friend?

Sun Mi: Yes?...yes.

Hyun Chul: I am not the one who caused you to separate with you friend without any reason.

Sun Mi: (shakes her head) No, no Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: Was it your boyfriend?

Sun Mi: (with a strong attitude) No!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he thought Sun Mi's look was cute, without letting Sun Mi notice Hyun Chul softly smiles) Miss Jin Sun Mi, I heard that you lived in Jahn Shil Bong....then your house is near by?

Sun Mi: Yes, I was born and grew up here. I am a native of Jahn Shil Bong. Sometimes I actually walk like this...I am always run into at least one person...an elementary or high schoolmate...I have become attached and comfortable

Hyun Chul: (he strongly gazes at Sun Mi's face, he quietly he smiles. Suddenly Hyun Chul's eyes catch some place) If we separate now then I am going to feel like I forgot something. So lets go to dinner together.

Sun Mi: (she wants to go but she takes a moment before answering) Yes, whatever you want.

Hyun Chul: (a playfull look passes over his face) I insist that Miss Sun Mi pay for dinner...well...since you made me wait so long for you at the baseball field.

Sun Mi: You waited for a long time?

Hyun Chul:.....w...e...ll

Sun Mi: (she smiles softly) It is true...I was late...and I live in this village. Um....What would you like to eat Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: (points his finger) There...

Sun Mi: Where...(her eyes follow Hyun Chul's finger)...do you mean Duk Buk Ghe??? (a Korean rice cake mixed with hot paste sauce)

Hyun Chul: (moves his head slightly)

Sun Mi: (she is surprised by Hyun Chul) Mr. Director, you eat Duk Buk Ghe too?

Hyun Chul: Do you think I come from space? Lets go quickly.

Sun Mi: Mr. Director, do you worry about my pocket mone; is that why you asked to go over there?

Hyun Chul: (he wrinkles up his nose) Lets hurry, I'm hungry.

DUK BUK GHE PLACE

[Hyun Chul must be extremely hungry. He eats with a yummy attitude. Sun Mi watches Hyun Chul, she thought that he looked like a little boy. Sun Mi thought the Hyun Chul must be very different from her. Sun Mi's thoughts slowly melt away...at that time suddenly....]

Min Soo: Oh, you are Sun Mi, senior?

Sun Mi: (she turns around and looks, it was one of her father's students, Sun Mi's father is principal Jin who was always strict with his students...sometimes he was like a father or grandfather to some of the student. Some students had problems and would come to her house on the weekends to talk to her father, this was one of those students) Oh, Min Soo....how are you?

Min Soo: I am fine...(his eyes look at Hyun Chul next Sun Mi) Senior, is he your boyfriend?

Sun Mi: (looked confused) No...he is not.

Min Soo: Ay....what do you mean "No". Your face shows everything.

Sun Mi: (she tries to read Hyun Chul's face) He is not.

Hyun Chul: (he immediately comes out) You are right, I am senior Sun Mi's boyfriend. I am glad to meet you.

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi's eyes get big) Mr. Dir.....

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul puts his finger to his mouth) Sshooo!!!!

Min Soo: I am senior Sun Mi's father's, what I mean to say is, I was one of Principal Jin's students. My name is Kim Min Soo.

Hyun Chul: (he didn't know that Sun Mi's father was a principal. Hyun Chul feels good to find out one by one facts about Sun Mi) I am Yun Hyun Chul. May I shake your hand?

Min Soo: (shakes Hyun Chul's hand) Congratulations. You have the best girlfriend. She is the best Korean future bride.

Sun Mi: (her face begins to cloud over)

Min Soo: At my school, many boys liked senior Sun Mi. If I told the whole school what I saw here today, the whole school would probably be gloomy.

Sun Mi: (she sites restless next to Hyun Chul. She can't say anything. Hyun Chul is not her boyfriend, she worries about what her father is going to hear. She wants Hyun Chul to stop playing around.)

Hyun Chul: (laugh vigorously) You better keep it a secret for a while, so you don't make a lot of trouble for everybody's study.

Min Soo: Yes, I think so. Soon we have intermediate examinations. If I am going to say anything, I am going to wait until after the exams.

Hyun Chul: (he has a playful look) Senior Sun Mi will pay for you Duk Buk Ghe.

Sun Mi: !!!!????!!!!????

Min Soo: Senior, thank you for the Duk Buk Ghe...Then, you two have an enjoyable time. (he bows and leaves)

Sun Mi: (her face looks like she has been mistreated) Mr. Director, how could you do that to me?

Hyun Chul: (he starts to eat his Duk Buk Ghe again) I understand... I will pay for Min Soo's Duk Buk Ghe.

Sun Mi: (she can't believe Hyun Chul's response ) I am not talking about that.

Hyun Chul: Oh, this Duk Buk Ghe tastes so good....is it okay if I come to visit this place often?
(he smiles)

Sun Mi: (She can't say a word, she gives a soft smile)

[Sun Mi and Hyun Chul don't recognize that this is their first date, it is just the beginning.....]

 

 

FRONT OF DIRECTOR'S ROOM

(Hyun Chul returns from a meeting. In front of his office he sees a male announcer coming out of the Secretary's room with a happy dizzy look. Hyun Chul carefully looks at him.)

BAR

Sun Dahl: Hey Yun Hyun Chul!! Director Yun!! Since "Mornings with Eve" is firmly rising up, we should take all the employees to dinner to encourage them.

Hyun Chul: Dinner together...maybe...

Sun Dahl: (following what Hyun Chul was saying) Maybe???? If I were you, I would have already taken everyone out more than ten times. I can see you are politely clever. You tell everyone that they are the best, your dream team. You tell them this and that then you just use them to do hard work. As for money...you don't spend any money at all.

Hyun Chul: That is not clever...(he points to his head) You should say that I am smart.

Sun Dahl: What ever. Anyhow before this week is over you better be prepared to take everyone to dinner. If you don't, I am going to make a pack with other people to turn the group against you.

Hyun Chul: (with an absurd look) Who's going to stop you? (he takes a sip of his drink) Well, truthfully, I have been thinking about other things not about the dinner.

Sun Dahl: What???? what is it??? (his mouth becomes a smile) Maybe.....incentive???

Hyun Chul: MT!!!

Sun Dahl: What!!! If we go on that trip, you are going to put everyone in the corner of the room and make them spend all day in a meeting.

Hyun Chul: Why do you speak like that. You always think the wrong way. I am trying to encourage the team to have better teamwork. Someday the pro will go down too, we are preparing for that time. Also at night, we can have some drinks. It is a good opportunity...plus we could have a good time.

Sun Dahl: (he acts like he can't trust Hyun Chul) You say that now...but once we are there, you will have us in meetings from morning until night.

Hyun Chul: Then, don't go!!!

Sun Dahl: (he thinks this way and that) Well, I will be going with Ju Hee. At night, we are going to have a nice comfortable time. I guess that is a good enough reason for making the trip.

Hyun Chul: (he smiles) Anyhow, as I was saying..can you make the plans for the place and time.

Sun Dahl: Alright...(then suddenly) Are you really not going to tell me who the myestery woman is?

Hyun Chul: (he pretends not to hear Sun Dahl. he just continues to drink)

Sun Dahl: Ah...I must be turning old. In the past, I would have already found out about your personal affairs. But, now I still cannot find out at all. Oh boy!... Maybe...the darkest place is under the candlestick (he looks intently thinking)

Hyun Chul: Stop it!! Also...why do you spend so much time thinking like that. Instead think about how you could create a good program.

Sun Dahl: (still thinking deeply) Maybe, the mystery woman is a company employee?

Hyun Chul: (he looks like he gives up, he just shakes his head)

Sun Dahl: (suddenly he smiles) Director Yun, these days your office door looks worn-out.

Hyun Chul: What do mean?

Sun Dahl: What I mean is, our office has many announcers that like to closely watch over Miss Sun Mi......

Hyun Chul: (Sun Dahl doesn't even get a chance to finish his words, when Hyun Chul loudly says) What!!!!!!!!

Sun Dahl: Oh my gosh, why are you screaming at me?

Hyun Chul: Nothing, I just heard the wrong thing.

Sun Dahl: In my office, many announcers like Miss Sun Mi. In the past, they would bring me their reports to give to you. Now, everyone is volunteering to take them to you themselves.

Hyun Chul: (He remembers the male announcer leaving the secretary's room earlier that day)

Sun Dahl: Not only that, every time a need to run an errand to your room everyone volunteers to go for me. I guess everyone wants to see Miss Sun Mi one more time, they have good eyes. They know what a good woman is.

Hyun Chul: In the future, if you have any reports, you bring them to me yourself. This people that people...it is very disorganized. What is the head of team's job? It is your duty to take care of the reports.

Sun Dahl: Yes, of course. (suddenly, Sun Dahl's head starts to think)

Hyun Chul: Also, this TV station is not a dating place. It is not good that they are peaking in and out of my office. You must keep your announcers under control. That is your responsibility.

Sun Dahl: (he looks a little blankly, he wonders if the darkest place is really under the candlestick...but he should find more evidence before drawing any conclusion)

HYUN CHUL'S CONDO

(Hyun Chul just finished his shower, his hair is tangled and matted, he is wearing a bathrobe. He sits on the corner of his bed with a glass of wiskey. He is is deep thought about his conversation with Sun Dahl. He softly smiles.."You naturally give too much of yourself away Yun Hyun Chul!" He thought that his behavior was very childish. Suddenly, he thinks about Sun Mi's face, Hyun Chul has a faint smile then he takes a sip of his drink.)

(Suddenly the telephone rings)

Hyun Chul: Hello

Min Chul: You are under arrest!! You have the right to remain silent and the right to consult a lawyer.

Hyun Chul: (his face is full of a smile) Don't be so childish, Yun Min Chul!!!!

Min Chul: (in a sweet voice) Br...o..th...er.....(finally they burst into a laugh for a long time)

Min Chul: Brother! You must be very busy. You don't even call.

Hyun Chul: Yes! I am very busy. Come back soon so you can help me.

Min Chul: Wait a little. I'm father's left hand and your right hand. I desire to return home after my journey.

Hyun Chul: (with a feeling of wanting) If I were not so busy, I would like to join you.

Min Chul: I remember the old times, I had just started the University and you were studying abroad in England. Do you remember how we back-packed around Europe? We did not want to burden our parents so we didn't take much money. We wanted to everything ourselves. We went a couple days without food, and we worked on that farm...

Hyun Chul: we even stole fruit...

Min Chul: Yes, when the owner saw us, we ran away. Not just that, when we went to Italy, we faught with a couple of good-for-nothing kids...

Hyun Chul: (remembers the time and faintly smiles) "two brothers against the world"...we were kind of launching a splendid war.

Min Chul: (a big laugh) I remember when we were children, we would wrestle with Jun Ho and Jin Ho, and we would scare them...

(Hyun Chul and MinChul are especially close brothers, they continue to talk about the memories of their childhood)

 

 

"Lovely You" Chapter 6 Part 3

 

(Hyun Chul has a strong competitive, reasonable, business mind, Min Chul has a optimistic, rommantic, artistic mind. Min Chul went to America to study motion pictures, now he is ready to return home. But before he returns home, he wants to drive across America in a Jeep)

Min Chul: Anyhow,...you don't have a girlfriend yet?

Hyun Chul: Well...

Min Chul: Uh??? What are you trying to say, you must have someone.

Hyun Chul: (he has a smile on his lips) I am going to tell you everything after you return home. Today, this is all I'm going to say. Okay.

Min Chul: (Min Chul gets happy and excited) Brother!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: I'm sleepy. Have a nice trip and sometimes send some news to me!!!

Min Chul: (he gives up) Okay, I'm very nervous but I promise to wait until next time. Somehow, I am going to make my trip shorter.

DIRECTOR'S ROOM

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi places a settlement report on Hyun Chul's desk and turns around to leave the room) Miss Jin Sun Mi!

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi turns around to face Hyun Chul) Yes, Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: Soon Mr. Kim Sun Dahl, head of the team, is going to get in touch with you about planning a MT trip for this month for the whole staff of "Mornings with Eve". Check my agenda and schedule us for this MT trip.

Sun Mi: Yes!!

Hyun Chul: Also... (he hesitates a little)

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: ......lets have lunch together.

Sun Mi: (gets softly dizzy)

Hyun Chul: Last time, you bought me a delicious dinner. I can't forget that...also I have given Miss Jin Sun Mi a hard time...I have not even taken you out to eat even once. How about it?

Sun Mi: (she is light-headed) Yes, I would like that.

SECRETARY'S ROOM

Sun Mi: (her heart is quickly beating, her face is as red as her heart, her eyes can't even look at the papers on her desk, she feels like she is floating in the sky, she wants to calm herself down, she sits down and pulls her chair close to her desk)

(Suddenly, there is a knock at her office door and a beautiful woman enters the room)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi has an expressionless face as she looks at the woman)

Je Uhn: I am here to meet with Mr. Director, is he in?

Sun Mi: Do you have an appointment?

Je Uhn: I'm a close friend of Mr. Director. My name is Kim Je Uhn. Do mind telling him that I am here?

Sun Mi: (she is aware that her face has become hard) Just a minute, please. (she pushes the inter-office phone) Mr. Director, a Miss Kim Je Uhn is here to see you.

Hyun Chul: (his voice is surprised and joyful) Je Uhn??? Tell her to come in.

Sun Mi: (suddenly her heart feels like it has fallen to the ground)...go in please.

Je Uhn: Thank you. (she smiles at Sun Mi and enters Hyun Chul's office)

Sun Mi: (she stands there watching absent-mindedly)

DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

(Hyun Chul and Je Uhn, long time friends, are very pleased with their chance meeting.)

Je Uhn: (Hyun Chul tries to shake her hand, but Je Uhn hugs Hyun Chul instead) Brother, have you been doing well?

Hyun Chul: (patting Je Uhn's back) Yes, and you?

Je Uhn: (she removes her arms from Hyun Chul and stares at him) Brother, you look more stylish. You must have settled down really good.

Hyun Chul: Sure...let me look at you. You are more pretty now than before. No I should say more splendid and refined.

Je Uhn: Also, I am sexy.

Hyun Chul: (smiles) Anyhow, when did you return from Paris. I was expecting you to return home soon...but you didn't even tell anybody you were already here.

Je Uhn: I returned home yesterday...I wanted to surprise you so I just came unexpectedly. (playfully) When I was in Paris, funny I missed you more than Min Chul.

Hyun Chul: Do you mind me telling Min Chul what you just said.

Je Uhn: (she smiles) Go to lunch with me (she looks at her wrist watch) Is it to early for lunch?

Hyun Chul: Lunch!!! (he remembers his promise to Sun Mi, he looks a little awkward)

Je Uhn: Do you have an appointment with someone?

Hyun Chul: Um.....

Je Uhn: Is it an important appointment? We can do lunch next time.

Hyun Chul: (It is a very important appointment...but it has been a long time since he has seen Je Uhn. He can't just let her go)

Je Uhn: I should have called before I came by...it is okay. We are going to see each other in the future, so we can have lunch later.

Hyun Chul: (for a moment he is in agony) Je Uhn let''s go to lunch. it has been a long time since we have seen each other. If I just let you leave, then what is Min Chul going to say. Just wait a minute.

SECRETARY'S ROOM

Sun Mi: (answers the inter-office phone) Yes, Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: I'm very sorry Miss Sun Mi...but I have to cancel the lunch appointment.

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: Truely...I apologize

Sun Mi: .........that's okay.

(after a moment, Hyun Chul and Je Uhn come out of Hyun Chul's office)

Sun Mi: (her face is hard, she puts her head down slightly)

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Mi and his heart feels very frustrated, but he just walks past right past her)

Je Uhn: (she senses that there is some type of chemistry between Hyun Chul and his secretary) Take care.

(Sun Mi is left by herself, her head is spinning, and her heart is beating hard...she doesn't know why these feelings are coming to her. Suddenly, she starts to cry.)

 


"Lovely You" Chapter 7 Part 2

 

THE SEASHORE (BEACH)

Sun Mi folds her arms to protect herself from the cool blowing wind. She feels chilly. Hyun Chul sticks his hands into his pants pockets as he stands next to Sun Mi. Hyun Chul walks slowly.

Hyun Chul: (he takes his coat off and gently places it over Sun Mi's shoulders)

Sun Mi: (she hesitates a little, she looks at Hyun Chul, she pulls the coat over her body to cvoer herself)

Hyun Chul: Of course, cold air is the best....I already feel like my head is clearing.

Sun Mi: Mr. Director, a little while a go my behavior..............I hope my attitude did not confuse you............I am sorry.........I must still be just a child.........this eveing my behavior........ please forget about it.

Hyun Chul: I can't do that.

Sun Mi: (she stops walking and looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (he has a playful smile on his face) In my life this was the first time that I have ever held a woman in my arms......this is the first....and you ask me to forget about it.

Sun Mi: (her cheeks turn red, she is glad that she is able to hide her red cheeks in the darkness of the evening)

Hyun Chul: This evening everything that happened to me....I don't want to forget any part of it...NO, I can't forget...so, don't ask me to forget anymore.

Sun Mi: (lets out a short breath)....I am going to forget....... completely.

Hyun Chul: (he doesn't know how Sun Mi feels) Do that....if it makes Miss Sun Mi feel more comfortable.....then.....forget about it, Miss Sun Mi......do what you wish.....but me, I am going to remember......alright?

Sun Mi: ......yes, that will do.

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi's expression, and like homework he wants to finish solve what he was windering about Sun Mi) Miss Sun Mi, what kind of relationship is between Mr. Kim Woo Jin and you.....(he doesn't even know that he takes a short of breath).....look like you two are very close.

Sun Mi: (she has a bitter smile) ......it does....it looks that way?

Hyun Chul: (he is afraid of what Sun Mi is going to answer, he becomes fearful) It is not a close relationship between you and Mr. Kim Woo Jin?

Sun Mi: (she stares at Hyun Chul with sad eyes)

Hyun Chul: (he regrets asking her) Oh...foget it. I will withdraw all the questions I just asked you.......you don't have to answer them.....you don't have to remember what I said.

Sun Mi: (she thinks to herself that she already had a clear answer)

Hyun Chul: (he starts walking again) Miss Jin Sun Mi, I think I was very lucky in meeting you.

Sun Mi: (she hesitates)

Hyun Chul: (beams with a smile) Miss Jin Sun Mi, I think you know very well that I am stubborn in everyway. I am aware of how Miss Jin Sun Mi tries to cover me weak points and organizes things very carefully.

Sun Mi: (she feels miserable as she waits for Hyun Chul to say something else)

Hyun Chul: If I request one thing, you bring me two or three or several things. Truely Miss Sun Mi....you are too valuable to keep only at my side. If anyone were to find out about Miss Jin Sun Mi's capabilities and take you away from me, what will I do? Now...I can't do anything without Miss Jin Sun Mi....work ....and..

Sun Mi: (she thinks to herself "you need me this much, I have to think that I am fortunate")

Hyun Chul: (looks once at Sun Mi with his deep eyes, he tells her sincerely) Always...I wish for you to stay by my side.

Sun Mi: (with a lonely voice)...I will...If that is what Mr. Director wishes.

HOTEL LOBBY

Time passes in a frenzy and everyone is relunctant to disperse to their rooms, at that time they see Hyun Chul and Sun Mi enter the Hotel.
"Good heavens...look over there....Mr. Director Yun and Miss Jin Sun Mi...."
They all turn around together and look at Hyun Chul and Sun Mi, some look with unexpected surprise while others look wit suspician.

Even Hyun Chul and Sun Mi get embarrassed since everyone was standing in front of them.

Sun Dahl feels securely confident that he has found out about Hyun Chul, Je Hee looks at Sun Mi and becomes a little anxious, Young Mi curls her lips, Woo Jin has an extreme hard look on his face and is very suspicious.

Sun Dahl: (with a playful look) Where have you two been?

Hyun Chul: (he does not worry about himslef, but he does worry about Sun Mi getting embarrassed) Well...I went out to take in some of the cold air from the beach...and I accidentally ran into Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Dahl: Ah....is that right (he looks at Sun Mi shoulders and sees her wearing Hyun Chuls coat)

Sun Mi: (she becomes embarrassed, she quickly takes off Hyun Chul's coat and gives it back to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (he takes his coat in his hands, he feels ashamed) The weather is very chilly. (Sun Mi is quite restless, Hyun Chul thinks that he should quickly free Sun Mi from this place) Ah.....everyone, it is getting late....I wish everyone a comfortable night.....see everyone tomorrow morning.

(Everyone wishes each other a good night and disperse to their rooms)

HYUN CHUL ROOM

Tonight, Hyun Chul can't sleep easily. He fills a glass with liquer and stands close to the window as he stares out of it. Images of Sun Mi pass one by one through his mind. Her big eyes shine like stars and wonders why she had some sadness in her face. Under no circumstances is he going to forget holding Sun Mi in his arms. And he cannot forget the feeling of holding her, his heart quietly went in a wave motion. He walks to his bed where is coat is laying. He touches the coat silently remembering Sun Mi and Sun Mi's fragrance.

SUN MI ROOM

Sun Mi cries again. She tries not to wake up Je Hee sleeping next to her. She cries quietly without the sound of breathing. She remembers what Hyun Chul said ..."Always...I wish for you to stay by my side....."....One by one her thoughts are painful to her heart. She tries to tell herself that she needs to quit, to give up...but without a sound she continues to cry.

 


"Lovely You" Chapter 8 Part 1

 

SECRETARY ROOM


Sun Mi: (she picks up the ringing telephone) Yes, MBS Planning Director's room.

Mrs. Lee: (in a friendly voice) Miss Jin Sun Mi!!! This is Director Yun's mother.

Sun Mi: (speaking on the phone, Sun Mi suddenly stands straighter) Good afternoon, Mrs. Lee. How are you Ma'am?

Mrs. Lee: How are you, Miss Sun Mi? Are you doing alright?

Sun Mi: Fine, thank you. (Sun Mi's eyes look toward the Director's room). I will connect you to Mr. Director.

Mrs. Lee: No, there is no need....today...I am calling....to talk over a matter with Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: ......

Mrs. Lee: If you don't have any special plans for lunch today, we can have lunch together. I'll meet Miss Sun Mi is front of the TV station.

ANNOUNCER'S ROOM

Je Hee: (shocked) What are you talking about? What do you mean auditions have come to a slump and existing announcers will be dispatched to the provinces, and freelancers will be used?

Sun Dahl: (takes a deep breath)

Je Hee: Is that....really true....is this Mr. Director Yun's idea? Is this really Mr. Director Yun's instructions?

Sun Dahl: (he is unable to talk, he just has a perplexed look on his face)

Je Hee: He always has a good attitude and smile....and talks about how we are one big family...is Mr. Director this much of a cold-hearted man (she smiles bitterly)...if it tastes good then he swallows....if it tastes bitter then he spits it out....after all he is no different then any other disagreeable man.

Sun Dahl: Do you think Mr. Director Yun wants to do this? Auditions are just too low, which makes changes unavoidable.......so he had to come up with a plan.

Je Hee: Who said that the most important thing is the broadcast not the audition, wasn't it Mr. Director?... the managment plan has already changed..... being dispatched to the provinces is like being asked to turn in your resignation.

Sun Dahl: How can you say those are the same thing? He just proposes that we take a step back for a while so that we can maintan a good working condition.

Je Hee: Now, you say it. It is wrong to use the words that say someone is going to be dispatched to provinces. I have never seen someone come back to the main station. Truely, I am very disappointed in Mr. Director (she walks out of the room in a bad mood).

Sun Dahl: (he feels disturbed and confused, he rubs his forehead)

MBS LOBBY

Sun Mi walks out of the front entrance to meet with Mrs. Lee for lunch. In front of Sun Mi, two men are having an important conversation and Sun Mi accidentally overhears their conversation.

Man 1: Mr. Director Yun is slowly showing his real character... if auditions were really high then he would take good care of the employees and improve things, but when auditions start to go down he doesn't give anyone a chance...he just throws people away like they are nothing....that is his human nature.

Man 2: Director acts like it doesn't matter, but he is very nervous about supervisor of commercial affairs Mr. Kim. I hear that Director Yun and Mr. Kim have a bad relationship.

Man 1: Of course, look at Mr. Kim......a young guy like Mr. Director Yun comes in and takes the Director's seat and tells him what to do....how do you think that makes Mr. Kim feel? Even this time, Mr. Director Yun's program auditions are down...Mr. Kim found out and quickly went and snapped at Director Yun. He told Director Yun to do it this way...he is trying to ruin the TV station.

Man 2: That is why, he had to come up with a plan like this. Anyhow, Director Yun tries to much rampage. This is going to make him look bad. He is going to loose face in front of the staff....this puts a bad mark on Mr. Kim.....also....come to think of it, this may cause ChairmanYun to loose confidence in Director Yun.

Sun Mi's face becomes hard and white as snow. She stops walking and occasionally gives up. She feels anxious about Hyun Chul, she feels like her heart is going to stop.

RESTAURANT

Mrs. Lee: I am sorry that I asked you come to this place.

Sun Mi: (after listening to the men's conversation a while ago her heart is heavy, but she smiles quietly) No, Mrs. Lee it is quite alright.

Mrs. Lee: Truely, I want to ask you a favor (she sticks out a shopping bag and hands it to Sun Mi). This is Director Yun's tonic medicine. Lately, he has had some kind of problem...last time he came home...his face was very worn. That is what this tonic is for...if he lived with me at my house he would take is every morning and every evening. I always look after him. But he lives by himself in the office or his condo, so if I give him the medicine he won't even touch it. The medicine would obviously stay as is.

Sun Mi: (she becomes aware of Mrs. Lee's request)

Mrs. Lee: I know I am asking too much, but Miss Sun Mi can you take Director Yun's medicine and make sure he takes it every morning and at lunch....is what I am asking you unreasonable?

Sun Mi: No, not at all Mrs. Lee. (at the present moment Hyun Chul's work problems are causing him a hard time, Sun Mi thought this medicine would be good for Hyun Chul). Yes, Mrs. Lee I will take care of giving him his medicine, and I will not forget.

Mrs. Lee: (she has a satisfied look on her face) Thank you very much Miss Sun Mi. Also, this maybe just an old woman worrying..but keep an eye on Director Yun. Be sure that he takes his medicine....naturally he doesn't like to take this medicine.

Sun Mi: (softly smiles) Yes, Mrs. Lee. I understand.

DIRECTOR'S ROOM

Hyun Chul: (there is supposed to be coffee on his desk, but in its place is medicine with a straw.... Hyun Chul looks suspicious)......what is this?

Sun Mi: It is Mr. Director's mother's strict order. She ordered me to give you your medicine every morning and during every lunch.

Hyun Chul: (his forehead scowls) My mother ordered this?.....I am sorry....my mother is trying to unnecessarily trouble Miss Jin Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: No Mr. Director....please take your medicine.

Hyun Chul: Yes, I understand. I am going to take it soon. That is all, you can go back to work.

Sun Mi: (she shakes her head) Mr. Director, I want to watch you take the medicine. That was Mrs. Lee's order. It is now one of my duties, therefore you better take the medicine, please.

Hyun Chul: (he unavoidably picks up the medicine...he takes a sip of the medicine, his face wrinkles,.. but he doesn't want Sun Mi to see his weekness, so he covers his nose with his fingers so that he can't taste the rest of the medicine as he drinks it....he acts like nothing is wrong and just sucks down the medicine)

Sun Mi: (softly puts her head down and smiles)

Hyun Chul: (he barely got all the medicine down....all over the roof of his mouth is the bitter taste....he becomes perplexed)

Sun Mi: (she already knows his mind) Mr. Director, don't worry. Tomorrow there will be sweet candy waiting for you. (she smiles softly and turns around to leave).

Hyun Chul: (for a moment he becomes confused, then he smiles gently, and quietly shakes his head)

 


Lovely You Chapter 8 Part 2

 

BREAK ROOM

Sun Mi wants to know the full story about the conversation she accidentally overheard during lunch, Sun Mi calls out Je Hee. Je Hee, she doesn’t know anything about how Sun Mi feels and starts to make a fervent speech about Hyun Chul, as time passes Sun Mi’s face becomes very hard looking.

Je Hee: Anyhow, Mr. Director Yun has turned our announcer room into an atmosphere of mourning.

Sun Mi: (she is not in a position to defend Hyun Chul or criticize him unfavorably)

Je Hee: just because the station spends so much money, doesn’t mean that they are going to develop a good program? They spend so much money to bring in free-lancers, how many additional viewers do they think they can attract. I am going to watch and see the audience ranking.

Sun Mi: (she breaths slightly) Senior, if you or I were in Mr. Director’s position how would you think we should handle the situation?

Je Hee: Hmmm????

DIRECTOR’S ROOM

It is close to the time that Sun Mi leaves her office, she quietly knocks on Hyun Chul’s office door and then opens the door quietly.
Hyun Chul is standing close to the window with his back to the door. Hyul Chul is thinking deeply about the broadcast of the station. She knows that his decisions have made his heart experience more pain than any other person. Sun Mi can see Hyun Chul’s pain, which makes her heart become more painful and chilly.

Sun Mi: Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: , right now, the whole broadcasting staff see me as a cold-hearted person and denounce me for the decisions I have made, Miss Jin Sun Mi, do you think the same way as everyone else. You feel like denouncing me too, right?

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi becomes aware of Hyun Chul’s pain, she begins to have tears in her eyes) No, Mr. Director. Of course not, not at all.

Hyun Chul: You are trying to comfort me. You do not have to do that just because you are my employee ust because you work under me that doesn’t mean you always have to protect me.

Sun Mi: (in her heart she wishes she can show Hyun Chul everything that she is feeling, but somehow she can’t which makes her heart very painful)

Hyun Chul: ?it is enough that you worry about me, you can leave the office and go home now.

Sun Mi: See you tomorrow, Mr. Director.

SUN MI’S HOUSE LIVING ROOM

Sun Mi: (she comes out of her kitchen carrying a plate of fruit, she sits on the couch)

Gyu Sung: (he looks carefully at Sun Mi’s face) Sun Mi...
Sun Mi: Yes, daddy

Gyu Sung: Lately, you seem to be upset about something?

Sun Mi: (she smiles softly) No, daddy. I am fine.

Gyu Sung: Are you sure?

Sun Mi: (she nods her head heavily)

Gyu Sung: You are deliberately not telling me because you don’t want me to worry, right?

Sun Mi: No, I am telling you the truth, daddy. (she picks up a piece of fruit with a fork and hands it to Gyu Sung)

Gyu Sung: (he looks at Sun Mi and does not feel relieved, lately Gyu Sung has seen Sun Mi’s face become weak often)

Sun Mi: (she softly drops her head, then raises her head) Daddy, have you ever experienced a time when someone you knew was having a really hard time and you wanted to help them, but you were afraid that you could make things worse for them?

Gyu Sung: (a while ago he heard from one of his students some gossip about Sun Mi having a boyfriend. When he first heard about the rumor, he didn’t give it much thought but now that he has seen Sun Mi’s face he thinks that she must really be in love with someone) From my point of view, you are not worried about you giving them more pain. You are more afraid that you may get hurt. If I had the same problem, I would just deal with the situation. That situation may become painful for the two people, but, at least you won’t feel regret later because at least you tried.

TWO MONTHS LATER
STATION CONFERENCE ROOM

There is a violent battle between Hyun Chul and supervisor Kim, the atmosphere of the meeting room is very tense, unlike the sticky heat of the outdoors the inside of the conference room is chilly.

Supervisor Kim: (extremely angered) These days younger generations go into the world to receive degrees and taste the water from foreign countries? They think that companies will just turn into what they want. Management is based on the realties of life, it requires action!! It is not based on trifle dreams!!! If an elder gives you advice then you should accept it respectfully. What have you done that’s been right. All you have done is talked back at me.

Hyun Chul: (he violently stares at supervisor Kim, he tightly clinches his fist) you must be confused by what is advice and what is unfavorable criticism. You must misunderstand. If I am remembering correctly Mr. Kim, not once have you sincerely given me advice, all you do in criticize me. Is that how much you are frightened of me? Actually, I should be grateful to you. You treat me as a man of great ability to compete against you.

Supervisor Kim: (his face turns many-colored, like he is ready to explode) What. What did you say?

Hyun Chul: (completely not yielding his look)

Supervisor Kim: (baring his anger) a young man sitting in such an advanced seat, can’t see anything. A man of ability!!! Huhhh!!! Pours money like water and what did you get in return?

 

He throws a audience ranking chart in front of Hyun Chul’s face) you did this kind of work, and you still give speeches. You do not even know your insufficient ability. Goodness, I don’t know how I am going to report this to Chairman Yun.

Hyun Chul: (his face becomes flushed with blood and turns red, Hyun Chul looks like he is about to blow-up) I am going to take full responsibility.

Supervisor Kim: You’re still prideful to the end. In what way are you going to take responsibility. I will be watching over you for a very long time.

LOBBY (A HALLWAY)

Hyun Chul: (kicks away the door as he walks out of the meeting room, he has an awful look on his face as he walks away from the conference room fast)

Sun Dahl: (follows Hyun Chul) Mr. Director!!! Hyun Chul!!! Calm down. Supervisor Kim always wants to torture you. He just enjoys any opportunity to do that to you.

Hyun Chul: Today was an insult!!! Surely. I am going to return the insult.

Sun Dahl: Not with this attitude. It is not right to confront him in this bitter mood.

Hyun Chul: (in a loud voice) Oh right!!!! Everything is my fault!!! Whatever supervisor Kim says, I better just keep my mouth shut. I have to be silent, that is right in any case I am the one who has ruined the company.

Sun Dahl: Hyun Chul!!!

Hyun Chul: (he acts like he doesn’t want to hear anymore of Sun Dahl’s words, Hyun Chul turns his face away from Sun Dahl and starts to walk away more quickly)

Sun Dahl: (he watched Hyun Chul’s back, Sun Dahl starts to feel a painful suffocation)

SECRETARY’S ROOM

The door flies open, Sun Mi quickly lifts her head up, she sees Hyun Chul upset and full of anger, she becomes tense. Hyun Chul closes the door loudly almost sounding like the door is going to break, then Hyun Chul disappears into his office.


Many people have criticized Hyun Chul’s action for selecting free-lancers. There is a low expectation and a slump in activity. The auditions continue to crawl at the bottom. This makes Hyun Chul suffer pain and impatient. Hyun Chul can’t say anything, Sun Mi obviously hadn’t seen everything that happened in the meeting, but she can imagine that in today’s meeting Hyun Chul was clearly attacked by Supervisor Kim.


For the past two months, Sun Mi has stood closer by Hyun Chul than anyone else. She has watched over Hyun Chul and has become very worried about him. She hesitates for a long time in front of Hyun Chul’s office door? Then Sun Mi knocks on his office door...


DIRECTOR’S ROOM

Hyun Chul: (leaning over his desk with his hands clasped in front of his forehead and his eyes and mouth tightly closed, he looks as if he is about to explode if anyone touched him. His look is dangerous)

Sun Mi: Mr. Director...


Hyun Chul: ?

Sun Mi: (she can’t think of what words can she say to comfort him, but she can’t leave him like this?

Hyun Chul: For now on, I am not in my office. If somebody, anybody, calls or visits, turn them away, please

Sun Mi: (her heart becomes painful) Mr. Director...


Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul hits his fist down on his desk, and yells? Do you not understand what I am saying Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (she is surprised by Hyun Chul, her eyes become big and round)

Hyun Chul: (he sees Sun Mi’s shocked and frightened eyes, at once he regrets his behavior)

Sun Mi: I am very sorry Mr. Director. (Sun Mi hurries out of Hyun Chul’s office)

Hyun Chul: (everything is turning into complete confusion, he roughly unties his necktie and throws it away)

SECRETARY’S ROOM

Sun Mi hurries out of Hyun Chul’s office door, it is not easy to calm her heart down, she pushes down the feeling in her heart and stands absentmindedly for quite a while and then suddenly tears form in her eyes, she closes her eyes and suddenly is awoken by the ringing of the telephone...
Sun Mi: (she quickly suppresses her tears, and in a calm voice? Planning Director Room, this is Jin Sun Mi speaking.

Sun Dahl: Miss Jin Sun Mi?? This is Kim Sun Dahl

Sun Mi: Yes, how are you Mr. Kim?

Sun Dahl: If you are not busy. Can I see you for a moment?

SMALL CONFERENCE ROOM

Sun Dahl: You are always watching over Mr. Director. You know him better than anybody. Right now, Director Yun is having an extremely difficult time.

Sun Mi: (looks down, her expression becomes dark)

Sun Dahl: Mr. Director is preparing for abusive talk from some people but he still makes decisions. Some of his decisions have turned out to go the wrong direction, different then what he had intended... and in today’s meeting , Supervisor Kim always opposes Mr. Director. And today he criticized Director Yun a lot.

Sun Mi: (she thinks about Hyun Chul’s problem at work, a large pain comes to her heart)

Sun Dahl: From Supervisor Kim’s point of view, before Director Yun showed up, he was in control around the broadcasting station. But now he can’t control the station that easily, and Director Yun’s existence is a splinter in his eyeside. Now Director Yun’s decision are becoming trouble, Supervisor Kim thinks that this is his chance to catch Director Yun, Chairman Yun is a fair and impartial person, he is secure in services and accomplishments, that is why Supervisor Kim thinks that he can get Director Yun to completely withdraw from the broadcasting station. Anyhow today Director Yun and Supervisor Kim were very intense

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s face becomes more hard)

Sun Dahl: Nevertheless, Director Yun also didn’t do the right thing. When the other side attacks he should have stepped back and maintained his composure. He should have known better than to attack the other side. That attitude made things turn worse. Everybody knows that Director Yun is a capable person but he is stubborn and has an easy temper. He needs to change this. Sometimes he needs to ignore the situation, but he doesn’t know how to do that...
Sun Mi: ?

Sun Dahl: Director Yun has only taken elite courses. He has no experience with this kind of failure. This problem has put a bad taste in Director Yun’s mouth, for the first time he is experienced failure and it is turning into his lifetime record? This problem is at a crucial stage at the moment, Director Yun needs to handle it well. If he doesn’t...


Sun Mi: The reason you are telling me about this problem. It is your intention that I do a good job assisting Mr. Director

Sun Dahl: ?

Sun Mi: Team-leader, Mr. Kim, I understand enough. I understand your intention, do not worry about anything.

Sun Dahl: No, not that, Miss Sun Mi. I meant to give you a different intention...
Sun Mi: (she looks at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: (he looks serious, more than any other time) I tried to think of one person who could comfort Director Yun’s broken heart. Somehow my mind thought of Miss Jin Sun Mi. I don’t know about any other person, but Miss Sun Mi’s words, Director Yun. Can hear. And listen...


SECRETARY’S ROOM

Sun Mi does not quite understand Sun Dahl’s real intention and words, what was the meaning of his last words. She is very confused.
Sun Mi hadn’t noticed the clock. It was time to leave her office. All afternoon, Hyun Chul had not left his office, Sun Mi thinks to herself that she can’t leave Hyun Chul like this, Sun Mi doesn’t know what to do...she sits in her seat as time unknowingly passes hour by hour.
Sun Mi did not feel right. So she gets up from her seat and walks toward Hyun Chul’s office, but again she hesitates. She slowly turns around and walks away

BROADCASTING STATION LOBBY

Sun Mi slowly walks. She helplessly walks toward the front lobby, her steps barely come off the floor. Suddenly she remembers Sun Dahl’s words “It is a curcial stage, Director Yun needs to handle well. If he doesn’t...” For a moment, Sun Mi thinks that she can’t leave Hyun Chul alone, Sun Mi’s heart is deep in thought, Sun Mi’s heart becomes pressing. She runs quickly back to her office.

DIRECTOR’S ROOM

Sun Mi doesn’t even knock on Hyun Chul’s door. She steps quietly into his office. There is very little light in the room. Hyun Chul’s office looks deserted wrapped in darkness. In the corner, Sun Mi can see Hyun Chul sitting with a deep piercing look out of the window, Sun Mi’s emotions quickly rise; she barely calms her emotions.

Sun Mi: Mr. Di? (The sight of Hyun Chul’s back. He looks confused, he looked like he needed someone to comfort him, but on the other side he still looked like he didn’t want anyone to disturb him. He looked very stubborn, Sun Mi thought about how she ran to come here to help him but her nervousness made her hesitate. She put her head down)

Hyun Chul: ?I am sorry Miss Sun Mi. I didn’t mean to yell at you.

Sun Mi: (she slowly lifts her head, she looks at Hyun Chul’s back)

Hyun Chul: I must look really ridiculous right now. I know everyone is sneering at me.

Sun Mi: (she says strongly) No, you do not Mr. Director. You do not look ridiculous and nobody should sneer at you!!!!

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s words make Hyun Chul hesitate a little, then he slowly turns around in his chair)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s eyes are already becoming teary, she stares at Hyun Chul’s faint look through the darkness)

Hyun Chul: (he gets up from his seat, one step at a time he walks towards Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (as Hyun Chul walks up to Sun Mi, Sun Mi’s heart begins to tremble. She does not know where to look. She flusters and then tries to turn on the light)

Hyun Chul: No, leave it as is!! (He is very close to Sun Mi and stands in front of her)

Sun Mi: (she puts her head down, she thinks that she is lucky that the whole room is dark so that Hyun Chul can’t see how her face is turning red)

Hyun Chul: (he watches as Sun Mi softly puts her eyes down, he looks at her for a while) you must be very disappointed and angry.

Sun Mi: ?

Hyun Chul: Please forgive me, Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: ?No, Mr. Director. I am. I am not angry with you.

Hyun Chul: Look at me when you talk, look straight into my eyes. And say it again.

Sun Mi: (she raises her trembling eyes, but barely looks into Hyun Chul’s eyes). I am not angry with you, Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (he holds onto the faint light, Sun Mi’s look becomes more pretty, Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi and feels like he has lost his soul)

Sun MI: (she can’t possibly look straight into Hyun Chul’s eyes any more, she puts her head down)

Hyun Chul: (he quietly whispers to Sun Mi) Miss Jin Sun Mi, this evening you can become my friend (Hyun Chul sticks his hand toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she is confused) Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (he has earnest eyes) why. You can’t...
Sun Mi: (after a little hesitation, she softly gives her hand to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Softly Sun Mi’s hand is placed over his, they hold tightly) now, I am going to be fine.

SIN CHON

It is a sultry sticky summer night... During this hot weather? There is one night when the heated atmosphere lets one to blow away from youthfulness. Here and there the street are full. Inside many places surge with crowds of people. Hyun Chul takes off his jacket and puts it over his shoulder. Next to Hyun Chul Sun Mi holds onto her handbag. They quietly walk

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi passes by a crowd of people. Every time she runs into a crowd of people she little by little falls back)

Hyun Chul: (He walks a head of Sun Mi then turns around to look at her, but he can’t see Sun Mi anywhere. He looks all around for her. He sees that she is far away struggling to get through the crowd. Hyun Chul takes long steps to get near Sun Mi. He holds Sun Mi’s hand tightly and guides her through the crowd)

Sun Mi: (she is surprised by Hyun Chul, she turns around to look at him. Under the circumstances she thought this was the best way for to get through the crowd)

Hyun Chul and Sun Mi walk into a narrow side street where there are fewer people

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul continues to hold Sun Mi’s hand tightly) before I went abroad to study I came to this place everyday.

Sun Mi: Ah, really... Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s eyes focus on someplace) there is my hideout headquarters.

Sun Mi: (she follows Hyun Chul’s eyes, then she sees the sign, Woodstock Rock Cafe, Sun Mi remembers coming to this place a couple of times with friends out of curiosity, Sun Mi thinks about the picture of Hyun Chul playing the bass guitar, Sun Mi thinks that Hyun Chul needed a release from his stress, this place was better then anything else. Lets go inside, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Are you talking about there (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi unexpectedly) that is a terribly noisy place? That place is not suitable for Miss Jin Sin Mi.

Sun Mi: (she smiles softly) well, lets see. Mr. Director, do you not want to go in?

Hyun Chul: (gradually smiling) lets go!!

Affectionately they tightly hold each others hand and go inside the caf...

WOODSTOCK

Their ears become full and ringing from the sound of the music in the café, the music made them absentminded, but inside this small café, there is a freedom. The young people are excited and stimulated. Hyun Chul becomes submerged in the memory of old days, he waves his hands

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul looked like he forgot his problems, he began to look cheerful, this made Sun Mi heart feel happy, she gazes at Hyun Chul’s fresh look)

Hyun Chul: (he suddenly shrinks back. He looks at Sun Mi and smiles brightly)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi gives him a large smile)

Hyun Chul: (the loud music makes conversation impossible. Hyun Chul tries to get closer to Sun Mi) Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!

Sun Mi: (moving closer to Hyun Chul) Yes, Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: Are you alright? I look like I’m the only one enjoying myself.

Sun Mi: Don’t worry Mr. Director. I am enjoying whatever I can.

Suddenly, the music changes to a sad slow rock ballad. Music for pair dancing where couples can embrace.

Hyun Chul: (He looks encouraged by the stage people, like he has waited a long time. He sticks out his hand to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she is embarrassed, she looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (he gazes at Sun Mi and waits for her)

A moment later, Sun Mi fingertips barely touch Hyun Chul’s hand. He holds Sun Mi’s hand tightly. Then he gets up from his seat.
They stand close to each other in a very unfamiliar way. Hyun Chul is wrapped in Sun Mi’s embrace, Sun Mi softly holds onto Hyun Chul’s dress shirt collar.


The vibration of the music make Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s heart touch each other. Their hearts beat excitedly and tremble.
Hyun Chul is intoxicated by the music and the atmosphere that gives him the courage to embrace Sun Mi by the waist tighty. He wraps Sun Mi in his arms, Sun Mi comfortably leans into Hyun Chul’s chest. She gently wraps her hands tenderly on Hyun Chul’s shoulders. Hyun Chul and Sun Mi naturally move toward each other, little by little they get closer to each other.

A STREET

In the cool heated atmosphere, Sun Mi and Hyun Chul sit on a bench side by side. It is not hot weather that has made their cheeks red but the tingling experience they had a moment ago

Hyun Chul: Thank you Miss Jin Sun Mi. You have become my good friend.

Sun Mi: ?

Hyun Chul: Without Miss Sun Mi. Maybe tonight I would have locked myself in my room, and wouldn’t have been able to move a step.

Sun Mi: Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Now my appearance is like nobody has told me what to do. I made the decisions at work by myself. The mistakes at work make me afraid that some one will criticize me. So, in order not to face the criticism I intentionally showed my temper like a little boy.

Sun Mi: No, I do not think that way Mr. Director. You tried to make a hard decision for the sake of the broadcasting station. You just simply weren’t lucky, last time you told me that you were a step by step stage director, so sometimes you should taste failure, it is natural.

Hyun Chul: (He looks intently at Sun Mi and listens to her words)

Sun Mi: You know Mr. Director? Truly. You are perfect in every aspect. And during this work situation I thought, oh, Mr. Director sometimes makes a mistake too. He has a human nature side, that is the way I see it. Also. It is no fun when everything you do is a success. To be promoted to a high position you need to know how to sometime suffer a setback. It helps like taking medicine.

Hyun Chul: (looks and listens like a good student. Hyun Chul looks tense)

Sun Mi: (in the meantime, since she suppressed her heart for so long she now opened everything) the important thing is to start now, learn from this problem, become a more mature broadcaster. Or continue to scold yourself and waste valuable time. What is the intelligent thing to do Mr. Director. You know better then anyone.

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi acts like she is reprimanding Hyun Chul a little, she makes Hyun Chul quietly smile)

Sun Mi: (her continuing speech becomes more excited) as for the conflict between you and Supervisor Kim, in society, making an enemy is not the smartest thing to do. Making an enemy does not make sense. Arguing to win is not everything. The smart thing to do is to be sincere and respectful and make him join your side, doing this will make you a true winner. That is high player!!

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi looks more perfect and lovable) Are you done reprimanding me yet? Do I have to wait for more?

Sun Mi: Huh?? (her eyes become big)

Hyun Chul: (controls his laugh) I will keep Miss Jin Sun Mi’s words deep in my heart.

Sun Mi: (she thinks about what she has said, she is ashamed of herself, she lightly scowls at her forehead)

Hyun Chul: we are friends Miss Jin Sun Mi, right?

Sun Mi: (she looks at Hyun Chul with surprised eyes)

Hyun Chul: Outside the station we are friends, so in the future, if my behavior is not wise then you must give me advice like you are doing now...


Sun Mi: Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: What. You don’t want to??

Sun Mi: I am very sorry Mr. Director for my behavior a little while ago...

 

Hyun Chul: Please hurry and answer my question, do you not want to be my friend (he lookd at Sun Mi’s face obviously. And smiles)

Sun Mi: (confused) well...
Hyun Chul: No!?!?

Sun Mi: (waves her head) no, not that Mr. Director!!!

Hyun Chul: (gently smiles) then for now on we are friends (playful eyes) between friends then sometimes I can call you out and talk about problems. We can go out and drink together, right?

Sun Mi: (she nods her head)

Hyun Chul: Let’s shake hands on it. In the honor of friendship.

A moment later they quietly take a hold of each other hand. Truly, they don’t need friendship, but they both are not in a hurry to change things.


Lovely You : Chapter 9

 

CONFERENCE ROOM

A series of unpleasant events have made everyone disheartened, they look sullen as the wait for Hyun Chul.
At that time the door opens powerfully as Hyun Chul enter the conference room. Despite everyone’s expectations, Hyun Chul looks the same as before- full of self-confidence and positive.
Everyone is confused. Everyone turns to look at each other.

Hyun Chul: (he takes a seat, and looks around at the staff) During this whole time it has not been my intention to cause trouble. I apologize to everyone. If I were you, it would be hard for me to trust and follow a boss like me...
(everyone looks serious, the silently listen to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: I can’t guarantee that in the future there will not be moments that turn out like this time, everything is trial and error. But one thing I can promise, I promise that despite success or failure. In the future I will always be with all of you. We will share decisions. Two months ago, I made the mistake of deciding to send announcer Lee Young Woo to the provinces. Tomorrow I am going to bring him back to the main office.

(the people start to become noisy)

Hyun Chul: (his eyes show strong resignation) In the meantime, I thought very little about the standard of the audience. I made the surface of the program look magnificent, but it did not attract the already lost audience as I had hoped. I don’t fully understand the audience yet, but, I don’t think it is too late yet. I don’t know when the end will come. The road ahead of us is probably going to be a hard one but I am willing to go down that road.

(Hyun Chul sincerity and plan has made those that who had disbelief toward Hyun Chul for quite some time have a change of heart about Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Also? To proceed down this road I will need all of your support. I know that currently a lot of people do not trust me, but let us let these feelings go here in this place, let all of us start over here, again!

Young Mi is impressed by Hyun Chul’s speech. Young Mi tries to squeeze out tears. Woo Jin, sitting next to Young Mi, looks uninterested, Ju Hee who had criticized Hyun Chul unfavorably more than any one else before has now realized that she had misunderstood him, Ju Hee smiles softly... However, at this moment , as expected, Sun Dahl has a gratified look- more than anybody else. He thought that Sun Mi made Hyun Chul’s different look possible, Sun Dahl can’t let this thought go. He has a smile at the corner of his mouth.

SECRETARY ROOM

Before Hyun Chul attended the meeting, he left an email with a P.S. for Sun Mi, she has already read it many times. A smile softly spreads on her face.

P.S. Yesterday. In one day I was in hell and heaven. It was very much a special day. And then. In the middle of being in hell, you lead me into heaven, and you gladly accepted to be my friend. Miss Jin Sun Mi has made yesterday more unforgettable, thank you very much!!! I guarantee Miss Jin Sun Mi that in my life you have become my best secretary and friend. And, also. I would like to properly invite you to lunch today. Will you accept? Today, nobody will be able to disturb our dinner.

Sun Mi feels the quiet sound of her heart that beats with joy and sadness. She quietly swallows her tears, Sun Mi tries to put on a bright smile and quickly closes the letter from Hyun Chul. She starts to arrange the papers on her desk.

CHAIRMAN YUN’S ROOM

Chairman Yun looks intensely cold. In front of Chairman Yun quietly sits Hyun Chul and Supervisor Kim, for a moment Chairman Yun looked like he was getting ready to scream madly...
Chairman Yun: Director Yun and Supervisor Kim. What do the two of you think were the factors that caused this situation? First, let me listen to Supervisor Kim’s suggestions...
Supervisor Kim: A broadcasting station is different than any other type of company? The measure of success is not based on how much money you invest into it? The company benefits through common logic. Without establishing a foundation, an order was put in to reform the external look of the broadcast?he looks at Hyun Chul once). In the end he just had a insufficient amount of experience that resulted in causing this situation.

Hyun Chul: (during Supervisor Kim’s continuing speech, the corner of his mouth starts to twitch in anger, but he remembers Sun Mi’s advice last night and calms his heart?make your enemies join your side?

Chairman Yun: (he has occasionally heard about the discord between these two people, he confirms these rumors himself, he closes his mouth hard and becomes clouded with anger) Next!! Let me hear Director Yun’s view.

Hyun Chul: (he tries to clear the inside of his head) In regards to this matter I agree with Supervisor Kim’s views? The cause of this situation is because of my inexperience. I ignored examining all levels and chose the easy and fast road. I thought about the simplest and quickest way. I wanted to make the program a success in a short amount of time. My insufficient patience made everyone object. I put the blame of cause on myself...
Supervisor Kim: (Supervisor Kim did not expect the response Hyun Chul made, he looks very confused, he coughs clearing his throat a couple of times)

Chairman Yun: (he wants to firmly scold Hyun Chul, but he slowly lets his anger go, he is impressed by Hyun Chul’s deep thought and maturity, Chairman Yun feels relieved)

Hyun Chul: Even though the result was unpleasant, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on myself and to examine back on the unpleasant causes of the situation. I promise you here and now that in the future I will help the broadcast become better. I will put in more of an effort then I did then before. I promise Mr. Chairman and Mr. Supervisor. After today I request that you reproach and advise me like you did today.

Chairman Yun: Supervisor Kim. It appears Director Yun understands his faults better than anybody and has chosen to reflect on himself. What do you think about that...
Supervisor Kim: . Well. So? Therefore. I will accept Director Yun’s words and use this situation as a learning tool? To go forth into. Continue to push forward to do good for the broadcast, Mr. Chairman.

Chairman Yun: In the future, Director Yun needs necessary support from you Supervisor Kim, so look after Director Yun and if he starts to go wrong with anything, don’t be afraid to reproach him...
Supervisor Kim: Yes, I understand Mr. Chairman!

Chairman Yun: (different from the feeling in his heart, he talks with a cold voice) Also Director Yun, do not repeat this mistake againay attention to the advice of those who have been in broadcasting for several years, like Supervisor Kim or any other Seniors, listen to them carefully.

Hyun Chul: Yes Mr. Chairman. I will keep that in mind.

RESTAURANT

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul becomes aware of Sun Mi looking at him as he cuts a steak on his plate) Do you need to talk to me Miss Jin Sun Mi?

Sun Mi: Huh?? Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (he looks fixedly at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (embarrassed) No, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Are you sure??

Sun Mi: (she hesitates for a moment) Well. I was thinking about today’s meeting, by any chance did Mr. Chairman. Have words with Mr. Director...
Hyun Chul: (his soft smiles leaves his face, he intentionally breathes deeply) Of course, there were words with Mr. Chairman? Truly he was going to be extremely reproached...
Sun Mi: (for a moment Sun Mi’s face becomes dark)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul becomes aware of Sun Mi’s look) . He was going to, but unexpectedly he did not say much to me. All he said was that in the future I should show more enthusiasm. He had encouraging words.

Sun Mi: (her eyes are full of relief)

Hyun Chul: ade the enemy join my side?I took Miss Jin Sun Mi’s advice and I tried to give in first, Supervisor Kim became indisputable and made concession. It is all due to Miss Jin Sun Mi’s help? Thank you...
Sun Mi: (a smile starts to spread on her face)

Hyun Chul: therefore, do not worry about anything. And enjoy this good meal. Alright

Sun Mi: (her cheeks become red, she puts a slice of steak in her mouth)

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Mi and then his eyes look at the steak) . May I ask one question...
Sun Mi: (looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (carefully) Miss Jin Sun Mi. You care, and worry about me. Well, if I were someone else, you would still care and worry about me, right.

Sun Mi: ...
Hyun Chul: I am Miss Jin Sun Mi’s boss, and we work close to each other. That is why. That is why you do it, right...
Sun Mi: ...
Hyun Chul: (a little bitterish smile forms at the corner of his mouth) of course you do, Miss Jin Sun Mi, is a very kind-hearted person.

(they look delicately at each others eyes as an ache rises in each of their hearts)

CHAIRMAN ROOM

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl takes a seat) You called me Mr. Chairman?

Chairman Yun: Umm. When are you and announcer Yu Ju Hee going to treat me to wedding noodles?

Sun Dahl: (with a bashful look he scratches his head)

Chairman Yun: (with a comforting smile) I called you because I want to ask you a couple of questions about Hyun Chul’s situation.

Sun Dahl: Yes, Sir, go ahead and ask.

Chairman Yun: He is my son, but I try hard to see Hyun Chul objectively. In the future he will become a man of big ability, but his personality is too temperamental and straight. He still needs to go across many steep mountains to become a man of ability. So, I always worry about him

Sun Dahl: (he has a serious look)

Chairman Yun: However, about yesterday’s meeting. HAHAHA. I saw. His new sideew attitude? Truly, I heard that Hyun Chul and Supervisor Kim usually shout at each other as they come and go. I was very prepared to teach Hyun Chul a stiff lesson, but Hyun Chul was the first to admit. He made a mistake and he came with his head hung down.

Sun Dahl: (he already knew about Hyun Chul’s new attitude, he thinks about Hyun Chul and smiles)

Chairman Yun: For that reason. I couldn’t say anything to him. How mature and admirable he looked. How in one day did Hyun Chul become prudent.

Sun Dahl: I don’t know whether I can say this or not, but there is a reason for Hyun Chul’s change

Chairman Yun: There is a reason!! Right. I want to know this reason? That is why I called you for help. Well, let me hear it. What is the reason that made Hyun Chul become a more mature person.

Sun Dahl: Well. Actually?he tries to be careful disclosing what he knew about Hyun Chul and Sun Mi to Chairman Yun)

Chairman Yun: (while listening to Sun Dahl’s words, a faint smile suddenly spreads to his whole face) HA HA HA. He has finally met his companion for life. He has met the right companion.

(he continues to laugh, even Sun Dahl follows Chairman Yun and laughs in a good mood)

SECRETARY ROOM

Chairman Yun refuses to follow his secretary and by himself go towards the secretary room to meet Sun Mi. He knocks on the secretary room door, then he enter the room.

Sun Mi: (she stops working and lifts her head and sees Chairman Yun, she leaps to her feet. She walks forward to meet Chairman Yun. She bows) How are you Mr. Chairman?

Chairman Yun: Umm?he nods his head and receives Sun Mi’s greeting, he takes a good look at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Mr. Director. Is out of the office at the moment, he will be back soon.

Chairman Yun: Oh. He is?Chairman Yun looks at Sun Mi up and down from head to foot, then he has a pleased look)

Sun Mi: (she looks very tense, she hangs her head down)

Chairman Yun: Miss. What is your name?

Sun Mi: Yes Sir, my name is Jin Sun Mi.

Chairman Yun: (Um, Jin Sun Mi, Chairman Yun repeats Sun Mi names to his heart). Well Miss Sun Mi? Take care?he turns to leave)

Sun Mi: (she quickly goes towards the door, and opens the door for Chairman Yun)

Chairman Yun: (he has a satisfied smile on his face, and once more looks intently at Sun Mi, then leaves the office)

Sun Mi: (she follows Chairman Yun, and bows politely. She then watches as Chairman Yun becomes distant. Only after then can she feel like she can become less tense)

CHAIRMAN YUN HOUSE, LIVING ROOM

For some time, Chairman Yun continues laughing, Mrs. Lee looks at him suspiciously.

Mrs. Lee: Did you eat something wrong? What are you so glad about since this early evening?why are going HA HA HA HA?

Chairman Yun: (he thought about Hyun Chul and Sun Mi? This made him automatically laugh. Also during the day he saw Sun Mi and was very satisfied)

Mrs. Lee: Good Heaven!! Don’t laugh by yourself, let me laugh too. Honey!!!

Chairman Yun: Oh dear! You scare me,

Mrs. Lee: (she looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Chairman Yun)

Chairman Yun: All right, all right. I will tell you. It is about Hyun Chul.

Mrs. Lee: What about Hyun Chul. What did Hyun Chul do a cute trick in front of you.

Chairman Yun: Cute trick. Yes. I can say. It can be called a cute trick.

Mrs. Lee: Ah???

Chairman Yun: HA HA. Hyun Chul amazes me. He has very close to him buried treasure.

Mrs. Lee: (gradually she gives him a confused look)

Chairman Yun: Well? The only thing left to do is make sure Hyun Chul marries her? Then soon we can hold a grandbaby in our arms...
Mrs. Lee: What is wrong with you. Can’t you just tell me straight!!

(only then Chairman Yun looks at Mrs. Lee intently and tells her about yesterday’s conversation. His experience, view, he tells the stories to Mrs. Lee one by one)

Mrs. Lee: Ho Ho. Hyun Chul is just like you. He knows how to spot a superior woman.

Chairman Yun: (as one grows older in age, Mrs. Lee remains unchanged. She looks like a lovely young girl, Chairman Yun looks at his wife and smiles)

Mrs. Lee: Even I thought Miss Sun Mi’s first impression was very good. She has a pleasant personality and her wide bright smile makes everyone feel good. She shows an intellectual atmosphere. She is a heavenly woman. When I met her my feelings became obscure. I thought that it would be nice to have her as my daughter-in-law. I guess we are going to have this kind of connection...
Chairman Yun: (he thinks about Sun Mi’s look. And he is complete agreement with Mrs. Lee)

Mrs. Lee: Well. A monk can’t cut his own hair. So, I am going to meet with Miss Sun Mi...
Chairman Yun: Heavens!! Don’t even think about it. Young people know what they are doing. We are not going to get involved. We are going to watch over them silently...
Mrs. Lee: How long do you think it will be before Hyun Chul does it? Hyun Chul is not that smart when it comes to these things, we need to interfere and help him.

Chairman Yun: Heavens!!! You are not going to stop, are you?

Mrs. Lee: (she stops) all right, I understand. I do?but inside her mind she begins to make a plan)

SECREARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (picks up the phone) Planning Director Room, Jin Sun Mi speaking

Je Yun: Hello, how are you? This is Kim Je Yun, may I speak to Mr. Director,

Sun Mi: (Kim Je Yun!!! In the past, she tried hard to forget that name? Sun Mi remembers her and Sun Mi’s past emotions come back to her) Mr. Director is now...
(at that moment the door flies open and Hyun Chul enters the office)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s timing made Sun Mi feel useless and hate Hyun Chul) Just a moment, I am going to connect you to Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (he must have heard Sun Mi’s conversation) Phone??? (he hurries and enters his office)

Sun Mi: (she gets a hard look on her face, and drops her eyes)

DIRECTOR ROOM

Hyun Chul: Oh, Je Yun...
Je Yun: I am getting ready to go to the airport, brother, can you come to the airport too...
Hyun Chul: Of course I am going. How long has it been since I saw my own brother, after all he is coming home?he looks at his watch) I should get ready to leave now.

Je Yun: You probably should. Make time for traffic. See you at the airport, brother.

Hyun Chul: Okay (he hangs up the phone, he looks very happy, he quickly arranged his desk and roughly sticks documents into his briefcase, then he gets up from his seat)

SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (she continues to feel unpleasant)

(Sun Mi can see Hyun Chul finish working and leaving his office. He looks like he is feeling very good)

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi, today I have tend to some business. I am going to leave early...
Sun Mi: (she gets up from her seat and drops her eyes) Bye, Mr. Director, see you tomorrow.

Hyun Chul: Today?he looks as if he is going to talk about Min Chul, but he does not have time) I will talk to you next time, see you tomorrow.

(In the present time, Sun Mi is able to see Hyun Chul’s heart. He leaves quickly, Sun Mi’s heart becomes full of clouds. She helplessly sits down)

(Je Yun, from her one phone call made Hyun Chul become so happy and caused him to leave his office earlier then he was supposed to in a great hurry. Hyun Chul’s look made Sun Mi feel very miserable)

IN CHIN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Je Yun: (she sees Min Chul appear far away pulling his suitcase) Min Chul!!!

(they run and all at once embrace each other? They have been long time lovers? They do not care about the attention from everyone around them? They kiss each other tightly)

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Min Chul and Je Yun? Then he becomes a little embarrassed. He turns his head and smiles. He wonders why at this moment he thought about Sun Mi?

(After that, Min Chul and Je Yun barely wake up? They come toward Hyun Chul, Min Chul opens his arms and higs his brother. Hyun Chul and Min Chul are good brothers. With delighted smiles and strength they hold each other)

Hyun Chul: (keep patting Min Chul’s back) Hi, long time no see. Welcome home.

Min Chul: (whispers into Hyun Chul’s ear) You know during the whole flight I have been wondering about one thing more than anything else, don’t even think that you are going to sleep tonight...
Hyun Chul: Oh boy?he smiles)

Min Chul: (removes his arms from Hyun Chul) Well? Then lets go home. If mother has to wait very long her neck will sink down.

Hyun Chul: Of course? Today, father and I had the worst time stopping mother from coming to the airport. If we didn’t stop her she would have already held onto you and started crying out all over the airport.

SUN MI HOUSE, FRONT

Sun Mi hangs her shoulders down, she walks helplessly home, she reaches close to home. She can’t possible look at her father with a bright face. She think about Hyun Chul’s happy look. Suddenly she quickly begins to cry. She can’t appease her heart. She doesn’t know how to stop. Her hand covers her mouth. She tries hard to clam herself, but suddenly her emotions become much more intense and tears flood down her face. Slowly she squats down and sits on the ground. She gathers her knees together and buries her face. And without a sound she sobs hard)

SUN MI HOUSE, INSIDE

Sun Mi: (she enters the house, she makes an effort to use a bright voice) I’m home!!

Gyu Sung: Oh, you’re home.

(Gyu Sung looks at Sun Mi’s face, her eye make-up is messed up, here and there are traces of tears)

Sun Mi: I am sorry daddy. I came home late without calling. Suddenly. A friend came to see me at the TV station and asked me to go to dinner.

Gyu Sung: (a pain comes to his heart, Gyu Sung acts like he doesn’t know anything) Oh, you did. I did not know. I was worried about you. Hurry, come in and clean yourself and rest. You must be very tired.

Sun Mi: (forces a smile) really. I am a little tired. I am going to rest today? Tomorrow I will talk to you.

Gyu Sung: Wello upstairs quickly and lie down (Gyu Sung looked at Sun Mi as she went upstairs, tears came to his eyes)

Sun Mi: (once again tears quickly come to her eyes, she does not want to be discovered by her father so she quickly runs up the stairs)

CHAIRMAN YUN HOUSE, HYUN CHUL ROOM

Hyun Chul: You are not sleepy? You are not tired? You are truly strong?

Min Chul: (he is sleepy, his eyes are slightly closed) so? Tell me everything. Hurry up. When, where, how did you meet her. If you don’t tell me then tonight you can not sleep at all. Okay!

Hyun Chul: (he looks as if he lost a battle, he smiles) Well. Actually. We are not a couple. We are just friends...
Min Chul: (he opens his eyes widely) Friend??

Hyun Chul: Ummm...
Min Chul: (he makes a pitiful look) So. You haven’t confesses your heart to herood heavens, is that it?

Hyun Chul: Um?he makes a pillow of his arm and lies down). Soon I am going to tell her? Truly? These days. I am trying to make an effort to find the opportunity...
Min Chul: What about opportunity? That kind of situationust do it unconsciously (he lies next to Hyun Chul) by the way, does she like you too?

Hyun Chul: Well. I do not know.

Min Chul: What is this? Truly you are driving me crazy. After all you told me. And during all this time. You have not developed anything at all.

Hyun Chul: (he thinks about Sun Mi and quietly smiles)

Min Chul: (he doesn’t miss Hyun Chul’s look) Brother! What are you thinking about now. You are thinking about her. Aren’t you?

Hyun Chul: Huh, NO. I am not...
Min Chul: What do you mean NO!!! (he holds onto Hyun Chul’s arms) You feel like you want to hold your arms to her like this, right...
Hyun Chul: (he pushes Min Chul away) you are disgusting. I am not like you...
Min Chul: (he holds onto Hyun Chul more) Don’t say you don’t. It is written all over your face. Of course you probably think about kissing her too, like this?he tries to kiss Hyun Chul’s cheek)

Hyun Chul: (he can’t take it anymore, Hyun Chul pushes Min Chul onto the floor)

(push and pull, Min Chul and Hyun Chul act like two naughty boys? Together they fall to the floor? They rollover this way and that way, then they get into a pillow fight. All over the room there is the sound of laughter and loud banging? They become very noisy)

Mrs. Lee: Are you making enough noise!! Be quiet!! In the middle of the night, you two would like to be packing your bags!!!!!

(there is a loud laughter, then it becomes silent)

Min Chul: Brother!! Truly if you love her. Hold onto her quick, don’t try too much thinking about and dragging the situation out? That is not goodust run into it.

Hyun Chul: Just run into it. Okay I understand...
DIRECTOR ROOM

Hyun Chul: (pushes down the interoffice phone) Come in please (a moment later Sun Mi enters the room)

Sun Mi: You called me Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: This evening. If you have time. I would like to have dinner with you...
Sun Mi: (she has a hard look) at any cost. I have to go to dinner...
Hyun Chul: Huh???

Sun Mi: ...
Hyun Chul: (he becomes confused) Of course not. If you don’t wish to then you don’t have to go to dinner. You can turn me down at anytime. I just want to invite you to dinner, Miss Jin Sun Mi as my friend

Sun Mi: friend?Sun Mi makes a bitter smile) Mr. Director? Truey, do you think. We can be friends

Hyun Chul: ?what are you talking about

Sun Mi: (she tightly holds her trembling hands, she doesn’t want to drag it on anymore) Mr. Director. You have a many friends. And you have many special days you can spend with those friends, by the way. Why do want to be together with me. I don’t understand. Why do you need this kind of time...
Hyun Chul: (with an extremely hard look) if you do not want to go then just say you don’t want to go? This is not like Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: What is not like me!!! Do my feeling not matter. Should they be dragged as Mr. Director wishes. Is that more like me?

Hyun Chul: (he was very shocked, his face becomes flushed) Be dragged by!!! Then the whole time Miss Jin Sun Mi just unavoidable did everything as I wished even when you didn’t want to?he makes a bitter smile). Of course. Of course you do...
Sun Mi: (she bites her lip)

Hyun Chul: (in a chilly voice) I am the one who has become a burden on Miss Jin Sun Mi? Truly I did not know about it. In the futureever. Will we have a situation like this again?he tries to get out of the office, then he turns to look at Sun Mi). Even friendship. Was my suggestion, Miss Jin Sun Mi did not wish it. You were just dragged into it. You did it because I wished it? Then this friendship, does not exist. We withdraw this friendship, right!!!

Sun Mi: !!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he was angry. He slammed the door as he left his office)

Sun Mi: (her legs are shaky. She holds onto Hyun Chul’s desk tightly. And closes her eyes)

 


LOVELY YOU? CHAPTER 10

 

DIRECTOR’S ROOM

Hyun Chul: (there is a soft knocking sound at the door. Hyun Chul feels Sun Mi enter the office. He fixes his eyes on the papers on top of his desk and acts like he does not notice Sun Mi enter)

Sun Mi: (since the other day, Hyun Chul and Sun Mi have not even looked at each other. Hyun Chul has become endlessly cold, Sun Mi wants to talk to Hyun Chul but finds it very difficult), Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (he remains unchanged, his head still looks down at the papers on his desk. He does not even answer Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she gives up trying get his attention) The planning department. Sent you account statements yesterday? They asked me to look into whether, Mr. Director has finished approving them? They need them urgently.

Hyun Chul: (he picks up any file in front of him? Then snappily throws the file at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she opens the statement to confirm whether or not the file is the one she is looking for)? This is different from the one I am looking for Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (he acts like he is getting annoyed by Sun Mi and talks toughly to her) well, then Miss Jin Sun Mi try to look for the statement.

Sun Mi: (she feels a little resentment toward Hyun Chul. She looks at Hyun Chul and then at the side of his desk where there is a pile of documents, Sun Mi starts to look through them one by one)

Hyun Chul: (one by one Sun Mi’s action and gesture make Hyun Chul’s mind and heart turn toward Sun Mi. His eyes look at the paper in front of him but his mind is thinking about Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she looks through the pile, the document she is looking for must be at the bottom but she cannot find it, as she searches she begins to feel herself start to sweat)

Hyun Chul: (he closes the file he has been working on? Then he notices that at the top of the file is written Planning Department Account? Oh, dear!!! I didn’t even know that the whole time I was looking at the Planning Department statement. Well? There are too many statements...
Sun Mi: (she becomes angered, but she firmly tries to be patient) Are you finished with the statement?

Hyun Chul: Yes, take it to the head of the Planning Department, Mr. Kim. (He throws the file onto the corner of his desk)

Sun Mi: (silently she picks up the file and turns to leave the office)

Hyun Chul: (leans against the back of his chair. He feels angry at himself and Sun Mi)

SECRETARY’S ROOM

Sun Mi: (falls into her chair in agony, for a long time she is locked in her thoughts? Then slowly she picks up the phone), Senior. It is Sun Mi...
Ueun Mi: (she sounds very glad to hear from Sun Mi) Oh! Sun Mi, how are you? You are doing well?

Sun Mi: Yes, Senior. How about you, are you doing well too? I apologize for making excuses about being busy and not calling more often...
Ueun Mi: That. I did that too. Also everyone is busy when it comes to work. We are like squirrels running around in a wheel, don’t worry about it . I know how it is...
Sun Mi: (she smiles faintly)

Ueun Mi: Did you call just to ask me about how I am doing, do you need to talk to me about something?

Sun Mi: Well, last time you were trying to recommend to me . A course, for exchange students...
Ueun Mi: Oh that. At the time you told me you couldn’t do it because you couldn’t leave your father alone...
Sun Mi: Yes. I did, but that was then...
Ueun Mi: Why, now you have changed your mind, do you want me to check about whether or not the course is still open for you?

Sun Mi: Yes, Senior? That is the favor I would like to ask you. Applying for the course does not mean I am guaranteed success, but I want to take the challenge...
HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

Hyun Chul: (sits in front of his notebook, his face looks very hard. He still devotes himself to working)

Min Chul: (for the past few days Hyun Chul has continued to be moody? They are very close brothers without a doubt, but Hyun Chul is the oldest so when Hyun Chul is angry it is difficult for Min Chulust like when it is their father that is angry) You’re still working. You are home. Why don’t you rest from working...
Hyun Chul: ...
Min Chul: (carefully) Brother, lately have you had some problems?

Hyun Chul: ...
Min Chul: Has something happened between you and her?

Hyun Chul: I have to finish this today! If you don’t have something special to talk about then go home!!

Min Chul: Brother...
Hyun Chul: (in a low but strict voice) YUN MIN CHUL!!!!!

Min Chul: (he can’t say a word. He picks up his bag from the sofa) All right. I am leaving

CHAIRMAN YUN’S HOUSE, MIN CHUL’S ROOM

Mrs. Lee: (she follows Min Chul into his room) I thought you were going to sleep at Hyun Chul’s condo?

Min Chul: Wow. How can I sleep there. It is as cold as ice there. So cold that I can’t even breath

Mrs. Lee: Why?? Is Hyun Chul having some problems?

Min Chul: Well?he tries talk to his mother about Hyun Chul’s situation but then he gives up) he must be busy with a lot of work.

Mrs. Lee: (she waves her head) No. I don’t think so?she looks like she is thinking deeply)

Min Chul: (he looks firmly at his mother’s look)

Mrs. Lee: . He must have been unsuccessful. Oh my goodnessoor thing!

Min Chul: Unsuccessful. What are you talking about?

Mrs. Lee: Huh?? Anyhow. You need to know too, lately your brother has fallen in love with someone...
Min Chul: (he was surprised) Mother, you already know!!

Mrs. Lee: You too??

Min Chul: I thought. Only I was aware of that...
Mrs. Lee: We did not let Hyun Chul know we know, but we all know. We even know who she is...
Min Chul: Really!! Who is she???

Mrs. Lee: You want to know?she smiles quietly) your brother’s secretary!!!

Min Chul: What???? Is it, really. My brother’s secretary (he laughs)?

Mrs. Lee: (she looks anxious) good heavens. I knew it would turn out like this. Your father doesn’t know anything. He told me not to interfere between them...
Min Chul: (he looks at her in disbelief and continues to laugh)

COMPANY RESTAURANT

(There is no sound of talking, only Hyun Chul and Sun Mi enthusiastically eat their food. Ju Hee and Sun Dahl become very uncomfortable, Ju Hee and Sun Dahl look at each other with their eyes?

Sun Dahl: (sticks a spoon in his soup) today’s soup tastes so good, don’t you think so Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: ...
Sun Dahl: (he didn’t get a response from Hyun Chul, Sun Dahl then turns to Sun Mi) eat what you can Miss Sun Mi, lately you have not looked very well...
Sun Mi: (she tries to make herself smile, she just nods her head)

Sun Dahl: (he is stunned by Hyun Chul and Sun Mi, he waves his head softly)

Ju Hee: (she beats her chopsticks down into her bowl of rice, then silently talks to Sun Dahl through the expression in her eyes)

Sun Dahl: (he becomes aware of what Ju Hee is saying, quietly he waves his head) Anyhow, Mr. Director? This morning. After finishing ornings with Eve?the whole staff talked about having a staff basketball game? The schedule seems good for sometime this weekend

Hyun Chul: (only then did Hyun Chul raise his head) Oh really...
Sun Dahl: How should I proceed?

Hyun Chul: Team Leader Kim, go ahead and make the plans yourself (unintentionally his eyes look toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she raises her head. Her eyes meet Hyun Chul’s eyes. She quickly turns her head away from Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (drops his head with a hard look on his face and again starts to eat his meal)

HALLWAY

Sun Dahl: (he hesitates) you are having some problem with Miss Jin Sun Mi, did you scold her?

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi is not a one or two year old child. Why would I scold her?

Sun Dahl: Then you two had a fight?

Hyun Chul: (he suddenly turns to look at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: Well actually. I know everything about you. Inside your heart feels for Miss Sun Mi...
Hyun Chul: ...
Sun Dahl: I tried to wait until you told me yourself. So I pretended like I didn’t know anything, but lately you two, look very unhappy. Is something wrong?

Hyun Chul: (coldly) Senior, you have the wrong idea, Miss Jin Sun Mi and I are nothing more then employee and employer. So don’t even think that you know everything...
Sun Dahl: What are you taking about. You think you can fool me with that kind of lie. Every time your eyes go toward Miss Sun Mi. And your behavior? Truly looks like a man falling in love...
Hyun Chul: Then think what you wish (he leaves before Sun Dahl leaves)

Sun Dahl: Hyun Chul!!! (He feels oppressed by Hyun Chul’s behavior)

BREAKROOM

Ju Hee: (Ju Hee sees Sun Mi continue to look down) Lately. You continue to look troubled. Maybe. It is because of him...
Sun Mi: (quickly) No Seniorot that. I have just been thinking a lot about something...
Ju Hee: May I ask what you have been thinking about?

Sun Mi: I am sorry Senior. I will tell you later...
Ju Hee: That is okay. You promised me before that you will not act like this in front of me any more?she takes a sip of her coffee). Anyhow? This weekend. You are going to go to the basketball game right?

Sun Mi: Senior, do I have to go. Can’t I skip it...
Ju Hee: No you can’t. You can’t skip it. It will be fun. Everyone is going. Also it is about the men? They are so simple? They need cheering from women so that they can have the strength to jump. Even when I think about it. It is fun...
Sun Mi: (her true feeling was that she wanted to avoid seeing Hyun Chul as much as possible)

Ju Hee: You are going at any cost. All right. You better not make any other plans...
INDOOR GYM

(orning’s with Eve?team is completely unitedot one person was absent from the game. Once everyone was there, they started with a short introduction and then they went straight into the match between the men as the women cheered? The group was divided into two teams...
Hyun Chul looked at Sun Mi walk away with the group of people. Hyun Chul could feel Sun Dahl looking at him so he quickly turned his head away from Sun Mi...
The team was divided into the blue team and the white team? They all became busy talking about the rules of the game? The start of the game was signaled by a whistle...
Each team was lead by the best players. Hyun Chul and Woo Jin? They became focused on each other. Mainly because of Sun Mi? The others do not know. Hyun Chul and Woo Jin glare at each other? They are very aware of each other?

Hyun Chul: Before I mentioned to Mr. Kim Woo Jin about having a basketball game? That?today is D-Day...
Woo Jin: Yes, it is...
Hyun Chul: Do you want to bet on this game, Mr. Kim Woo Jin, you determine what to bet...
Woo Jin: You are confidant that much?

Hyun Chul: That. We will see after the game...
(Somehow ? Today’s game has turned into an impassioned contest between Hyun Chul and Woo Jin? They turn to walk toward their teams. At the same time they gaze at Sun Mi... On the other hand. Every woman is preparing the snacks and ordering the drinks. After that, they line up along the side of the basketball court and take their seats)

Young Mi: (she tries to look serious) What should I do. If I cheer for the blue team then Mr. Kim Woo Jin will be truly disappointed in me, but if I cheer for the white team then Mr. Director will become very disappointed in me...
Ju Hee: (she looks at Young Mi in amazement? Then she smiles)

Sun Mi: (like Ju Hee she smiles quietly with her head down)

(With the sound of the whistle the game begins? That is. Hyun Chul and Woo Jin begin their prideful contest? They absolutely did not hold anything back? They are the only ones playing...
Shortly after exchanging infringements on their baskets, they are covered in sweat and breathing heavily...
Before the game began an image of flames blazed in their eyes? They did not give each other an inch? They continued to violently engage in their contest...
Every time the ball passed through the basket people cheered and clapped, different from the cheering people Sun Mi gradually became more fretful due to Hyun Chul and Woo Jin’s violent playing...
Sun Mi kept watching Hyun Chul play as he didn’t spare anything. She began to feel anxious and uneasy. She began to feel hatred toward Hyun Chul. She tightly held both her handsot even once did she take her eyes off of Hyun Chul?

Ju Hee: (Ju Hee looked at Sun Dahl, he has already became exhausted by the game and is breathing hard, he continues to walk in the same place) oh that man? That is why I told him to always exercise. What is that. I am so embarrassed...
Young Mi: (she frivolously claps her hands, and cautiously shouts r. Director and Mr. Kim Woo Jin!?

(In the air the ball drifts. Hyun Chul and Woo Jin try to jump and catch the ball? They end up running against each other’s shoulders? They collapse down onto the floor together)

Sun Mi: (does not know what she is doing, leaps to her feet. She looks like she does not know what to do)

Ju Hee: (she looks at Sun Mi from the side and tries to look at where she is looking, for an instant Ju Hee gets a strange curious feeling?

(Fortunately, Hyun Chul and Woo Jin have not been hurt? They get up from the floor)

Sun Mi: (she still bares a grudge against Hyun Chul, she says in a low voice) He should be more careful...
Ju Hee: (Ju Hee did not miss Sun Mi’s words. She thinks to herself that obviously Sun Mi likes one of the two men who fell to the ground, but she was not sure which one Sun Mi liked, Ju Hee decides to watch Sun Mi a little longer. Soon she figures out who he is...
Ju Hee looks at Sun Mi with a sharp expression. Woo Jin successfully puts the ball in the basket. Without any reason Sun Mi looks disinterested, but when Hyun Chul made a basket Sun Mi look brightened...
in Sun Mi? Today you truly can’t control your expression. It was Mr. Director. You love, Director Yun?you fool. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? That is why you look like so hardow I understand your heart a little?

She quietly holds Sun Mi’s hand)

Sun Mi: (she looks at Ju Hee)

Ju Hee: (gives Sun Mi a warm smile)

Sun Mi: (she gives Ju Hee a bright smile in return)

(Half-time, the game is at a tie. Everyone is very exhausted. Every man is breathing hard as they walk from the basketball court. Every where faces and bodies are covered in sweat)

Sun Mi: (she looks at Hyun Chul, he has a hard look on his face, she hesitates)

Ju Hee: (taps Sun Mi) what are you doing? Mr. Director looks very hard? Take him something to drink (she hands Sun Mi a drink)

Sun Mi: (she hesitates a moment?then . She takes a drink from Je Hee and goes near to Hyun Chul)

Young Mi: (she moves in front of Sun Mi and runs to Hyun Chul) Mr. Director, do you want a drink?

Hyun Chul: Yes? Thank you (takes the drink from Young Mi)

Young Mi: Mr. Director, is there anything you can’t do. A moment ago you looked wonderful...
Hyun Chul: (he tries to put on a faint smile) Oh, I did...
Sun Mi: (she looks at Hyun Chul and Young Mi, she looks bitter)

Woo Jin: (he came up close to Sun Mi, he pointed at the drink Sun Mi was holding) that drink. Is that for me?

Hyun Chul: (he turned his head in a flash and gazes at them steadily)

Sun Mi: Huh? Yes, go ahead and take this drink (she passed the drink to him) you played very hard. You are doing a very good job...
Woo Jin: (he began to feel good) oh, it was? Actually. I was thinking about Miss Sun Mi watching me. It makes me more eager to jump...
Hyun Chul: (his look becomes wrinkled. He grabs the drink can over by Young Mi. He roughly and carelessly opens the can top. Here and there his drink sprays. Even onto Hyun Chul’s face. He sits down on the floor. And drinks his drink)

Sun Mi: (Woo Jin’s words made Sun Mi very uncomfortable? Then Sun Mi’s eyes search for Hyun Chul)

(Once again the game starts... Due to Sun Mi giving Woo Jin a drink. He began to jump more in the air. Hyun Chul maliciously got entangled with Woo Jin as much as possible. Hyun Chul frequently misfired the ball to the basketradually Hyun Chul became angered and annoyed. His bodily strength was becoming run down. His attitude was slowly becoming uneasy. He began to mark Woo Jin...
There was a little breaking of the rules? There was taking away of the ball. Hyun Chul went toward the goal powerfully. And when he was exactly in front of the goal zone. Hyun Chul went in with a lay-up. Woo Jin was already standing firmly in front of Hyun Chul. Hyun Chul crashes into Woo Jin’s chest. With a short scream Hyun Chul falls to the floor...
In a second, Sun Mi rises to action. She jumps to her feet. She sees Hyun Chul laying on the floor looking like he is in a lot of pain, Sun Mi’s face becomes hard and white as snow...
Hyun Chul is surrounded by a crowd of people? They take a good look at him- this way and that way? They all try to assist Hyun Chul, fortunately he only sprained his ankle. It was not a big injury, but it looked like it was impossible for him to continue the game?

Woo Jin: (he began to feel sorry. He sticks his hand out to help Hyun Chul get up)

Hyun Chul: (he looks away from Woo Jin and gets up with the help of someone else? Then he leaves the game grounds?

Sun Mi: (she looks very distressed and worried. She began to impatiently become restless)

(Once again the game begins?

Hyun Chul: (he sits down on the sideline and watches Woo Jin as the game continues, little by little he begins to feel angry. Hyun Chul feels that under no circumstances should he loose anything to Woo Jin for the sake of self-respect. And for the sake of Sun Mi. Hyun Chul closes his eyes? Then he bends his head back?

Sun Mi: (she does not watch the game anymore. She only worries about Hyun Chul’s disheartened look as he sits on the floor?

Hyun Chul: (little by little the points of the teams become further apart. It is obvious that the blue team is going to loose the gameim Woo Jin has pulled a victory for the white team. Hyun Chul can picture Woo Jin’s happy winning face. He can also imagine Sun Mi congratulating Woo Jin with a bright smile on her face. Hyun Chul decides that he doesn’t have the will to look at Sun Mio. He doesn’t want to see... Hyun Chul carelessly picks up his things in his bag. And gets up from his seat. And staggers away?

Sun Dahl: (for a while Sun Dahl takes a rest. He goes to sit near Hyun Chul? What are you doing?

Hyun Chul: (snappily) I’m leaving

Sun Dahl: You are going to leave by yourself because of the discomfort in your leg?? Wait a little? The game will be finished soon? Then I will take you home.

Hyun Chul: Don’t worry! I can drive a car. And. Everyone has become very excited. It is unnecessary to put an injured person next to them. I will only make the atmosphere muddy?Hyun Chul limps slightly as he walks away)

Sun Dahl: (In today’s game, Hyun Chul had an unusual altercation with Woo Jin. Hyun Chul’s personality had a strong desire for victory because of Sun Mi watching over the gameow it has made Hyun Chul’s heart not want to stay here anymore, Sun Dahl understands very well, but as Hyun Chul left this place limping slightly his appearance from behind looked somehow very uneasy, Sun Dahl worried about Hyun Chul?

Sun Mi: (As Hyun Chul flung his bag over his shoulders. He looked like it was too much for him. He left through the side of the game grounds, Sun Mi watches Hyun Chul as he leaves in a painful way?

Ju Hee: Go ahead

Sun Mi: (looks at Ju Hee) Huh???

Ju Hee: Mr. Director. He looks like he is having difficulty. Somebody should help him. I think, Miss Sun Mi is the most suitable person for that job.

Sun Mi: ...
Ju Hee: Hurry, Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: (only then did Sun Mi get up flustered? Then she followed Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (how could he brag about leaving by himself. Every step made his ankle hurt more. He limped slightly when he walked slowly. He switched between walking slowly and resting. Hyun Chul leaned against the wall for a while. He closes his eyes?

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi comes running over swiftly. All of the sudden she stops walking and looks at Hyun Chul’s side appearance, Sun Mi looked like she was out of breath?

Hyun Chul: (he exhaled a deep breath. And again opened his eyes. He tries to continue the hard journey. He can see Sun Mi approaching far away. He steps back. His eyes are fixed toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she comes up close to Hyun Chul. She avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes. She takes his bag away from him?

Hyun Chul: (with a hard look and hard voice) what are you doing?

Sun Mi: I am helping you to your car. A sheet of white paper is easier to lift togetherlease, lean against my shoulder.

Hyun Chul: (with a sarcastic smile) I’m all right! I do not need you. You can leave!! (He takes his bag from Sun Mi’s hand)

Sun Mi: (again she grabs Hyun Chul’s bag from him? Then she grabs Hyun Chul’s arm)

Hyun Chul: (he tries to break loose from Sun Mi’s hand with all the strength he has. And snatches his bag from Sun Mi) I told you that I don’t need help!! Just leave all right!!

Sun Mi: (she does not care how Hyun Chul acts) Give me the bag, it is difficult for Mr. Director to carry it by yourself (again she takes the bag from Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (with an angry face. He flies into a rage) do you not understand what I am saying!!! I do not need help!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (she also looked angry) Don’t be stubborn!!!!!

Hyun Chul: I don’t need your help!!!

Sun Mi: Please listen to me!!!

Hyun Chul: Why don’t you go to Mr. Kim Woo Jin!!!

Sun Mi: ...
Hyun Chul: ...
(The hall is full of a ringing soundradually the shout of their voices boils down? Then there is an awkward silence?

Sun Mi: (she shakes off Hyun Chul’s look of daggers. She takes his bag from his hand and grabs onto one of his arms. She puts his arm around her shoulder?

Hyun Chul: (gently. He follows Sun Mi’s perfume. He slowly moves his feet to walk)

Sun Mi: (for a little while, Sun Mi walked without saying a word) Every man is naturally like that. What is that, likeutting up a person’s life for that kind of game...
Hyun Chul: (he gradually leans his body against Sun Mi) That is, because after you win you get to enjoy the full joy of victory. Especially. Enjoying the victory over someone else. It is more like that...
Sun Mi: But. You do not even think about. How the people on the sidelines worry? That is. It is nice to have the honor of victory, but some people want to see more happiness without the violence...
Hyun Chul: (gently he looks down at Sun Mi. Hyun Chul feels Sun Mi completely wrapped in his arm) it is not hard for you to carry me on your shoulders??

Sun Mi: If I said no then I would be lying, but don’t worry about it!! I’m not going to dwell on it?that is not going to happen...
Hyun Chul: (he gently smiles? Then as much as possible he tries not to make it hard for Sun Mi to hold onto him)

PARKING LOT

(They barely arrive at Hyun Chul’s car? They open the driver side door. Hyun Chul successfully sits safely into his seat?

Sun Mi: (she stands outside of the car) You don’t think that you need to go to the hospital?

Hyun Chul: Don’t worry about it. It is not serious enough to go to the emergency room

Sun Mi: You don’t have any problems driving your car?

Hyun Chul: Why, does Miss Jin Sun Mi want to take my place and drive for me

Sun Mi: (becomes ashamed, her face turns red) ? Then? Take care Mr. Director?she tries to close the door to Hyun Chul’s car)

Hyun Chul: Wait! Just a moment!!!!

Sun Mi: ...
Hyun Chul: Get in!!

Sun Mi: I’m all right, Mr. Director. It is inconvenient for you. I am going to ride the subway

Hyun Chul: Get in quicklylease.

Sun Mi: Truly, I am all right Mr. Director. You leave first...
Hyun Chul: (being playful) do not listen any word I say? Truly, you are exactly like someone...
(A moment passes as the look at each other’s eyes? Then Hyun Chul and Sun Mi smile)

HYUN CHUL’S CAR

(A wind blows through the open car window, Sun Mi’s hair flies gently. Her perfume drifts around at the mercy of the wind. Hyun Chul smells Sun Mi’s sweet smell. He is wrapped in a happy feelingear Sun Mi’s house, he drives toward Jam Sil harbor...
Hyun Chul stops his car near the harbor? There is a dazzling glimmer from the sunlight. Hyun Chul looks at the quiet waves, for quite some time Hyun Chul and Sun Mi do not say a word?

Hyun Chul: Before I encountered my injury, I sat in the corner quietly for some time. I thought to myself that today wasery much an unpleasant day, but, now, it has become, really? The opposite?Hyun Chul’s eyes look toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she becomes aware of Hyun Chul’s gaze. She lightly hangs her head down)

Hyun Chul: . Well, Miss Sun Mi, lets, let us reconcile with one anotheroot that, rather, can you forgive me

Sun Mi: (she looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: For a while. It has become very hard on meot with other people, but with Miss Jin Sun Mi? That kind of situation. Has been very hard on me...
Sun Mi: Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: I am not going to ask you to become my friend. I am not going to bother you. Also I am not going to loose my temper with you. I am not going to give you hard time. So, let us be like before, lets each make the other smile. And work together, right...
Sun Mi: I am sorry, Mr. Director...
Hyun Chul: No, don’t be sorry Miss Sun Mi. Everything is my fault. I am the reason for everything, because of that, do forgive me. And then. We can go back to the beginning like before, like old times...
Sun Mi: (she becomes sad. Hyun Chul asks her to go back to old times, but even that makes her feel pain? That is why Sun Mi is determined to leave Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: You are not going to forgive me, don’t you. You don’t like me?

Sun Mi: Mr. Director, Ie never been angry at you. Ie never disliked you. I am just angry at myself...
Hyun Chul: (he gazes at Sun Mi deeply with his eyes. And does not say a word)

Sun Mi: (she looks at Hyun Chul’s eyes, then nods her head big)

Hyun Chul: (he watches Sun Mi intently, then his look becomes serious) I am. I like you Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: . I know you like me

Hyun Chul: (his heart feels like it is suffocating) No, not that way? Truly. I like you...
Sun Mi: Alright Mr. Director, lets reconcile and go back to the way things used to be (she thinks about there is not much time left) We can go back to being the fantasy combination couple again...all right, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (makes a bitter look) . Yes, right then

A FEW DAYS LATER, AT A RESTAURANT

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks through a shoulder bag on top of the table, she looks puzzled) Well...
Mrs. Lee: Dont feel bad. I came here so that I could say thank to Miss Sun Mi...
Sun Mi: (pushes the shoulder bag away) I just, did what I was supposed to do...
Mrs. Lee: I know?Miss Sun Mi. I already know how Miss Sun Mi’s heart is. Well...this has made you very uncomfortable? Then. You should think of this as a mother giving a gift to her daughter?think of yourself as my daughter, right...
Sun Mi: Mm!!

Mrs. Lee: (she looks at Sun Mi with earnest eyes)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi can’t refuse Mrs. Lee’s gift anymore. It is not right to refuse your elders) ? Thank you very much, Mrs. Lee

Mrs. Lee: (only then did Mrs. Lee have a bright smile) I was anguished by what I was going to buy? Then I decided. A shoulder bag. If I bought a dress or shoes then they may not have fitted well...
Sun Mi: Thanks...
Mrs. Lee: Also, if you do not like the design on the bag? Tell me anytime. I bought it from a connection. So. I can exchange it anytime. I can change it to a different model too. I don’t know much about young people’s taste...
Sun Mi: Thank you Mrs. Lee

Mrs. Lee: (she frequently looks at the entrance, then looks back at her wrist watch)

Sun Mi: Are you expecting someone?

Mrs. Lee: Huh?? No. I’m not?she opens the menu) well, let us order some food (she thinks to herself hy. Have they not come yet?

(At that time, the entrance door opens. Hyun Chul and Je Yun step in the door)

Sun Mi: (unintentionally lifts up her head, then discovers Hyun Chul and Je Yun appear, for a brief instant Sun Mi’s face looked very hard)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul comes across Sun Mi’s eyes. He looked very glad and surprised? Then he discovered that Mrs. Lee is sitting opposite of Sun Mi. Hyun Chul’s eyes open wide)

(Once again the entrance door opens and Min Chul enters. He quickly goes near to Je Yun, Min Chul then takes a hold of Je Yun’s hand? They intertwine their hands together)

Sun Mi: (she sits her head down, her face looks very hard)

Hyun Chul: Mother!! Miss Sun Mi!! What are you two doing here?

Mrs. Lee: (deliberately acts surprised) Oh my goodness, Hyun Chul!! Oh Je Yun and Min Chul you too! Did all of you plan to have dinner here?

Min Chul: (Min Chul and Mrs. Lee exchange curious expressions in there eyes) yes, mother (Min Chul was very curious to meet his older brother’s woman, he carefully moves his eyes to Sun Mi)

Je Yun: Miss Sun Mi!! We meet a second time, do you remember me

Sun Mi: (only then, Sun Mi slowly lifts up her head. She looks at Je Yun, for a moment she hesitates? Then her eyes settle on Min Chul and Je Yun’s intertwined hands)

Mrs. Lee: Oh, confusion, let us try to put things in order here?points to Sun Mi) this is. As I spoke before? This is Hyun Chul’s secretary Miss Jin Sun Mi?she points to Min Chul and Je Yun), Miss Sun Mi?this is Hyun Chul’s younger brother Min Chul. And here, my future second daughter-in-law, Je Yun...
Sun Mi: !!!!

(A momet later, they all enjoyed dinner together. All five people, Mrs. Lee, Min Chul, and Je Yun look very pleased. Also Hyun Chul looked to have a good feeling. However, Sun Mi was still confused?

Hyun Chul: (he worried that maybe Sun Mi was uncomfortable. He quietly watches over Sun Mi) enjoying the meal?

Sun Mi: (looks at the surroundings) yes

(The rest of the three people look at each other and exchange expressions in their eyes and smile)

Mrs. Lee: Hyun Chul?he has to find his woman soon. It can’t be like this ?not finding his companion yet. What am I going to do if Min Chul marries before Hyun Chul...
Min Chul: Mother, don’t worry about that, father. He is never going to approve my marrying before brother. Anyway I never felt like getting married before brother gets married, brother!!! Hurry up!!! Don’t make me unnecessarily cause Je Yun to suffer, and make Je Yun get angry at me?okay!

Hyun Chul: (with an embarrassed smile? Then he looks at Sun Mi)

Min Chul: Miss Sun Mi, don’t you think it is very difficult to work for my brother. What he does at home. Oh, boy what should I say...
Hyun Chul: (under the table, Hyun Chul kicks Min Chul’s foot quickly)

Min Chul: (has no concern) what do you think about my brother??? Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (she has difficulty answering) Well...
Je Yun: Oh, Min Chul. How can you ask in front of the person. In what way can she tell her true feelings . You should ask when Hyun Chul is not here. In confidentiality.

Hyun Chul: (acts amazed? Though with a faint smile)

Sun Mi: (softly smiles)

Mrs. Lee: Miss Sun Mi. Enjoy the meal, think of all of us as family. And make yourself comfortable...right...
FRONT OF SUN MI’S HOUSE, INSIDE HYUN CHUL’S CAR

Hyun Chul: Miss Sun Mi. You were very uncomfortable at the restaurant in front of my family

Sun Mi: No, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (he acted like he understood everything) Anyhow. When did you become close to my mother like that. Maybe the two of you are planning something. Without me knowing anything. Are you...
Sun Mi: (she smiles lovely) Maybe, we are...
Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s smile makes Hyun Chul’s heart become hazy) My mother tries very hard to harass you, right? Miss Sun Miaturally. She loves her children out of the ordinary. Sometimes other people see my mother as needing to impress in excess...
Sun Mi: No it is not, not at all? Truly. Every time I met with Mr. Director’s mother I thought about my mother and it makes me very happy

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi deeply)

Sun Mi: I thought. If my mother were alive. She would do the same things with me as Mrs. Lee? That kind of thinking (already Sun Mi’s eyes become full of tears)

Hyun Chul: (gently approaches. He puts his hands around Sun Mi’s eyes then lightly goes past her cheek)

Sun Mi: (cringes in surprise, she looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (quickly gathers his hands, then awkwardly stares forward)

(For a moment there is an unnatural silence)

Sun Mi: (she thinks about Je Yun) I have to apologize for something

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi, like hat are talking about?attitude)

Sun Mi: . I. I misunderstood Mr. Director. And thought what I wished. I am very sorry

Hyun Chul: What are you trying to say. So...you are telling me. You are to blame for something. I don’t know anything about it. Is that what you are trying to tell me...
Sun Mi: (she nods her head)

Hyun Chul: (he tries to place his hand on Sun Mi’s hand? Then hesitates? Then he gently puts his hand on Sun Mi’s shoulder). I forgive your sin...
Sun Mi: (quietly smiles)

Hyun Chul: (his hand remains on Sun Mi’s shoulder) I am not going to ask you what you are to blame for, but in substitution you can do me a favor...
Sun Mi: ...
Hyun Chul: Um?Hyun Chul strongly takes a hold of Sun Mi shoulder) absolutely, do not ever leave my sideo matter whatever leave without saying a wordever, never do thatromise me...
Sun Mi: Mr. Director...
Hyun Chul: I know. I should not ask that kind of favor, but promise me Miss Sun Miust tell me that you are not going to leave me...
Sun Mi: (for a long time her heart was pressed down by Je Yunow truly her feelings have become better now that she knows Je Yun was a misunderstanding, but Sun Mi thought that her relationship with Hyun Chul has not changed much, Sun Mi has already made previous arrangements. She made plans to leave? It is that?I can’t keep that kind of promise. I don’t want to promise you anything, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (for a second Hyun Chul’s look turns hard. He gathers his hands) I am sorry, forget about it. What I asked a moment ago...
Sun Mi: (she puts her head down)

Hyun Chul: I know it is an impossible favor to ask

Sun Mi: (tears pour down her face, but she does not want Hyun Chul to see) Be careful going home?she hurries up and gets out of Hyun Chul’s car)

Hyun Chul: (he looks at Sun Mi as she runs away. Hyun Chul’s eyes become full of tears)

 


LOVELY YOU- CHAPTER 11

 

TV STATION LOBBY

Ju Hee: Miss Sun Mi!!!!

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi turns around and looks at Ju Hee) Senior!

Ju Hee: You are just going home now? Isn it a little late to be leaving work?

Sun Mi: Yes, I had to finish some leftover statements.

Ju Hee: (nods her head) did you have dinner yet? If not, lets have dinner together I'm going to buy you a dinner

Sun Mi: Sure, I would like that. Thank you, Senior!

THE RESTAURANT

Ju Hee: (Ju Hee takes a good look at Sun Mi...she slowly eats her meal)

Sun Mi: (looks at Ju Hee) Senior! Do you have something to say?

Ju Hee: I wanted to ask you...you don't have anything to tell me??

Sun Mi: ......

Ju Hee: Are you sure...you don have anything to say??

Sun Mi: About what

Ju Hee: (makes a disappointing look) Well if there is nothing to tell me...then forget about it...lets just eat

Sun Mi: (she hesitates for a moment) actually

Je Hee: (stops eating abruptly...she looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Senior! I think I am going to go abroad to study

Ju Hee: What!!!!!!

Sun Mi: ......

Ju Hee: What are you talking about...what do you mean you are going abroad to study

Sun Mi: Recently, a good opportunity has come to me...I am still waiting for the results...but I think the results will be favorable.

Ju Hee: Good heavens (she is very confused) why have you told me this all of the sudden

Sun Mi: It is not all of the sudden...actually I have been thinking about it for a long time...but I couldn make the decision before because it was too painful for me to leave my father behind alone.

Ju Hee: Then, now you can leave your father behind alone...it is no longer too painful for you

Sun Mi: huh??

Ju Hee: I would like to know the true reason you have come to this decision

Sun Mi: Senior...

Ju Hee: I am very disappointed in you...I thought we had a very close friendship...that is why I tell you all about my problems...but you...you still hide your true heart from me

Sun Mi: Senior...

Ju Hee: Well, the true reason you are trying to leave the broadcasting station is because of him...isn't it

Sun Mi: (She puts her head down...her face looks hardened)

Ju Hee: I already know who the man is that your in love with

Sun Mi: (She lifts her head...her eyes become big and round)

Ju Hee: Do you want know...how I discovered who he is?????

Sun Mi: Senior...

Ju Hee: You are just thinking about a way to escape the situation..the only thing you could come up with is to go abroad to study...well work on your studies that is a good idea...but trying to escape the situation this way is not right

Sun Mi: Senior! Then what should I do...show me the way...please...I thought that doing this was the best decision I made for the situation...but you think that I am wrong...then tell me please what should I do

Ju Hee: (She looks at Sun Mi anxiously) Sun Mi...I don't understand what is in your heart yet but I am trying to understand the best I can...it is about Mr. Director...he is very close to you..but you think or feel like he is being endlessly distant from you...I told you before...running away from the situation has lead you to the painful conclusion of trying to leave...I think this is not right..don't you think at least you should let Mr. Director know what is inside your heart

Sun Mi: I know I am a fool and act like a fool...but I don't want to stay by his side like this...I don't want to feel pain anymore...I don't want to cry anymore

Ju Hee: Sun Mi!!!!

Sun Mi: Senior! Please...pretend like you don't know anything...I beg you

A BAR

Sun Dahl: (He feels eager to ask about Sun Mi and Hyun Chul's situation...but, every time that subject comes out, Hyun Chul responds pointedly...making Sun Dahl feel awkward bringing up the subject)

Hyun Chul: (slowly drinks a glass of liquor...he looks lonely)

Sun Dahl: (by no means) Oh...Hyun Chul

Hyun Chul: what...say what you want...you don't need to watch over me

Sun Dahl: I thought if you loved someone, you could handle it very easily...but, somehow it is so complicated...why does it have to be like this...what is the matter with you

Hyun Chul: Well...let me think...what is the matter with me

Sun Dahl: Have you told Miss Sun Mi what is inside your heart

Hyun Chul: (Helplessly shakes his head)

Sun Dahl: You always act like you feel...you do well in any other situation...but, why can't you express your love for Miss Sun Mi...you just have to confess...why are you shy like this...just say "Miss Sun Mi I love you"

Hyun Chul: Well I was going to confess...but, if Miss Sun Mi tries to run away from me...then what

Sun Dahl: what??????

Hyun Chul: I want to avoid loosing seeing Miss Sun Mi's face...I don't even want to lose time with her...that I wouldn't like...I don't have the self-confidence to handle the situation yet

Sun Dahl: Hyun Chul...

Hyun Chul: Maybe without seeing Miss Sun Mi...I can practice more and somehow learn to better handle the situation...when the time comes...then I am going to tell her

Sun Dahl: Good heavens!!!! When...how long...from my point of view...you will become an old grandpa and you still won know how to tell her...you can be without Miss Sun Mi...you say you are going to wait...but, during that time someone comes around and takes Miss Sun Mi away from you...then what are you going to do

Hyun Chul: (he just fills up his glass of liquor)

Sun Dahl: Also...you don't know...but, maybe Miss Sun Mi's heart is the same as yours...in my view...I think Miss Sun Mi is interested in you...she feels the same as you...also, I will tell you straight forward...what kind of woman wouldn't like you...you have looks...you have a good family tree...

Hyun Chul: (puts down his glass with a bang Senior!!!!

Sun Dahl: Sorry...I didn't mean it that way

Hyun Chul: Miss Sun Mi is not that kind of person!!!!!

Sun Dahl: I know that...you think that I don't know how to look at a person (furtively scowls his eyes) good heavens!!! You already show favoritism for her...you like her that much...then why haven't you said anything to her...why...when I am with my Ju Hee...every day we have a quarrel...but, when we come and go we show each other how we feel...we open our hearts to each other...why can't you and Miss Sun Mi open your hearts to show each other how you two really feel...really I want know

Hyun Chul: (seriously closes his eyes and scrubs his forehead)

Sun Dahl: You try constantly to push this situation away...then I am going to do it my way

Hyun Chul: (opens his eyes to look at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: good heavens feel like I want to explode...you don't want to see how I am going to make noise when I explode here and there...if you don't want to see that then, finish this quickly...do you understand...this is not a joke...seriously

CHAIRMAN ROOM

Hyun Chul: With the BBC...we commemorate the memory of the world cup in Korea and Japan...we have prayed for the world cup soccer to reach us...now Korea and Japan two broadcasting stations will be working jointly...our aim is to show the whole world this epoch-making time and plan to make a documentary about the event

Chairman Yun: Mmmm...(he looks prudent...as he listens carefully to Hyun Chul statement)

Hyun Chul: England soccer...is soon going to approach the world cup in Korea and Japan...these three countries are about to meet...all the people in the world attention will be attracted...and not just simply that...but also the situation will promote capital opportunity for the broadcasting station...this time...the production of a documentary...we can become a complete partner

Chairman Yun: That much can lead to intense competition

Hyun Chul: Yes, of course...but it doesn't matter...any other broadcasting station would absolutely not let this opportunity slip away...it is fate

Chairman Yun: Mmmm...(he nods his head) I authorize you to do the work

Hyun Chul: (He begins to become tense)

Chairman Yun: Do the best you can...and lead this situation

Hyun Chul: Yes Sir!!!!!!
(Hyun Chul receives his first task directly from his father...under no circumstances can Hyun Chul fail)

Chairman Yun: (Chairman Yun knows Hyun Chul capabilities...but, he also worries about Hyun Chul a little) don't be too attached to the end result...always be sure to know how to maneuver.

Hyun Chul: Yes, Mr. Chairman...(he has self-confidence mixed with excitement...his face becomes flushed)

DIRECTOR ROOM

Hyun Chul: (He looks very self-confident) under no circumstances can I fail...I have to make this situation successful

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks at the expression in Hyun Chul eyes...more then any other time Hyun Chul looks like he is thinking with great care)

Hyun Chul: Beginning today, we are going to be very busy...until next month...make plans to be finishing this statement...mayb everyday we will have to stay awake the whole night

Sun Mi: (She looks very tense)

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi and I...with the planning department...we will do an excellent job on this situation...how about it Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: What ever I have to do...I will do my best

Hyun Chul: (His excitement has still not sunk down...he clasps his fists)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi has to do it Hyun Chul way...to finish the last statement...she thought about devoting herself to supporting Hyun Chul...also before she leaves she wants to see Hyun Chul happy through his success by helping with all means)

DIRECTOR ROOM (AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS PASS)

It is already 10:00 pm according to the wall clock

On top of the desk, papers lay every where...in the center of the desk are two islands...they sit side by side...there are two notebooks...also between them there is a soccer ball that Hyun Chul brought to help inspire good ideas...in front of the desk Sun Mi and Hyun Chul look diligently between the computer monitor and the documents...they search for data and arrange the documents...they look like they have forgotten the time passing by

Hyun Chul: (unties his necktie and eagerly inquires into his work...Hyun Chul quietly take his eyes off his monitor then he gazes at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (for a long time Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi...Sun Mi is not aware of Hyun Chul gaze...she only concentrates on her work...Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi and thinks that she is unlike any other woman...most would be aware of such a fascinated look as this...his is appealing...she looks intelligent)

Hyun Chul: (like always...tonight Sun Mi appears more beautiful...Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi like he is loosing his soul...Hyun Chul becomes a bit disappointed that Sun Mi doesn't even turn her eyes toward Hyun Chul) Mmmm...I'm hungry for coffee

Sun Mi: (She remains unchanged....she continues to look at her monitor) You know....I drink "American style"

Hyun Chul: Oh dear!!!! In the beginning you would become extraordinarily regrettable for this...now...you naturally come out and say "American style"...Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!!! You use a high class secretary like me...during this late night...don't you think this kind of service is a basic standard

Hyun Chul: (with a smile gets up from his seat) just wait a moment...I am going to make some tasty coffee and bring you your order

Sun Mi: (looks at Hyun Chul back) well there are not many days left for me to drink Mr. Director's tasty coffee...the work statement is almost complete

Hyun Chul: (sighs deeply) if you let me...I would make coffee for you for your whole life

Sun Mi: Huh????

Hyun Chul: (perks up his shoulders and walks out the door)

Everyone has left their offices...Sun Mi and Hyun Chul stay behind in their office into the late night...they have been working together for couple of weeks like this...they have become more close than ever before...they have great chemistry...more than they had expected...these two people are very happy working smoothly together and pouring out excellent ideas...they don't even feel tired from working late into the night for many days

Sun Mi looks at the view of the darkness outside through the window...a delicate feeling comes over her...just like a dream...time has rushed close to the end...as time passes she will have to part from Hyun Chul

" A world famous group leader...persists in using one secretary more then any other employee inside the group...he pays a large annual salary to the keep her...and tells every one...he is going to regret it if he ever lost his secretary...Mr. Director...you and I...we are have probably become like that...we can be the best combination...but it is my fault...forgive me Mr. Director...please...I can't stay by your side until the end...sorry...Mr. Director....I have grown to love you...sorry...I love you"

Hyun Chul enters through the door...Sun Mi quickly wipes the tears from her eyes

Hyun Chul: (He holds his coffee to his mouth and holds Sun Mi coffee in his hand as he pushes the door closed...then he turns and walks toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (gets her coffee from Hyun Chul and gives him a smile) Thank you very much Mr. Director

(For a quiet moment they enjoy their hot coffee)

Hyun Chul: (lays down his coffee cup on the table...then supports his chin with his hands...he charmingly looks at Sun Mi) well...truly...Miss Jin Sun Mi is a mysterious lady

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!! What are you talking about?

Hyun Chul: Mmmmm...Miss Sun Mi's style looks at the moment...it is...beautiful and smooth...Mmmm...how should I put it into words....anyhow...you look like you are honest and straight

Sun Mi: I can put it into words...you are saying that I am not a fun person

Hyun Chul: (makes a sly smile) wait...listen to me...until I've finished what I am saying...this time...while we have worked together...I've discovered Miss Sun Mi new side...you have a fantastic side...you have an innocent and intelligent look when you are concentrating on your work...truly it is very fascinating

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi face becomes light red...she tries to avoid Hyun Chul eyes)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi deeply with his eyes...then with a very sweet voice) Your support makes the plan easy to comprehend...thank you, Miss Sun Mi for staying by my side

Sun Mi: (She remains unchanged...she continues to be unable to look straight at Hyun Chul) but...Mr. Director!! In the beginning you mentioned the Manchester children and I got an idea from your words

Hyun Chul: (remembering) Manchester (he folds his arms...leans deeply into his chair) most of the children from Manchester...their fathers lost their jobs because of the economic depression...this situation placed all the children in a very difficult environment...but during conversations about soccer all the children grew restless and looked happy...also...Manchester united in affection toward Beckham...it was like high expectations...at that time my heart was touched by the children...the children must be soccer...it is not simply a sport but gives them dreams and pride

Sun Mi: Mr. Director...in the beginning when you mentioned that story I discovered that Mr. Director was a very warm person

Hyun Chul: (His eyes become playful) then...in the past my appearance...what type of person did I look like

Sun Mi: (also looks playful) well...truly...Mr. Director you didn't look that way

Hyun Chul: (his face looks full of grimace) then what did I look like

Sun Mi: You want to hear the truth...right Mr. Director....Mmmm...what should I say...Mr. Director looks... (she looks softly at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (He continues to wait for Sun Mi statement...then his face becomes expressionless and he takes hold of a soccer ball...he spins the ball around on the tip of his finger)

Sun Mi: Ummm...Mr. Director looks like without work....other work, other people are totally out of your concern...and you look like you have no sympathy...your standard was like an old relic....Ummmm! (All of the sudden...the soccer ball flies past the Sun Min...in a moment Sun Mi catches the ball with confusion...she is surprised by Hyun Chul act...in that confusion, her eyes become big and round)

Hyun Chul: (He has an expressionless look...but, somehow he looks sulky) Do you truly think that way about me...well alright...what ever you say...what ever Miss Jin Sun Mi says...I am a terrible egotist...I don't have not even a little sympathy in my heart...also more then anything I don't even have consideration for any other person's heart

Sun Mi: (She look like she has regret) I didn't meant it that way Mr. Director ...are you angry with me

Hyun Chul: (He gazes steadily at the monitor...with a hard look on his face) if you don't mind...we must work...all right

Sun Mi: (Mr. Director manner makes her completely perplexed)

Hyun Chul: (quietly lifts up his head with a playful smile) you thought I was angry...right????

Sun Mi: ??????

Hyun Chul: (practical joke) Miss Jin Sun Mis so innocent...it makes it easy to play a joke.

Sun Mi: (make a ridiculous look...then suddenly...she throws the soccer ball to Hyun Chul) sure...Mr. Director, if you don't mind we better start working...it is late (she acts sulky and stares at the monitor)

Hyun Chul: (once again he spins the soccer ball around then puts it down) well...I really better start working before I am scolded by someone

Sun Mi: (strongly sulks)

Hyun Chul: (He looks at Sun Mi with playful eyes then he sits close to his notebook and tries eagerly to do doing something...after a little while) Ah...some e-mail just arrived for Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (hesitates a moment...then quietly opens her mail box to receive her e- mail and just then)
(Sorry...Sorry......a ridiculous funny male character shows up gathering together his two hands rapidly and begs for forgiveness...this figure filled up the whole screen)

Sun Mi: Hah!!! (But Sun Mi is aware of Hyun Chul staring at her...so she manages to remain expressionless)

Hyun Chul: (He looks at Sun Mi with a smile)

After a little while they rotate stealing glances at each other...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi try not to let their eyes catch each other...then before one knows, once again it becomes silent and their eyes turn toward the monitor.

A BAR

Sun Dahl: (runs into a liquor glass) how long ago was it that we met like this...it was, I can say immeasurably emotional on me

Hyun Chul: (smile) you can't find a drinking pal like me anywhere

Sun Dahl: Well!! Yes!!! Have you finished your work????

Hyun Chul: As a matter of fact...yes

Sun Dahl: I hear that the day after tomorrow you will be going on a business trip...right??

Hyun Chul: Mmm...to the BBC...they likely want to do an advance inspection...I assume I will have a briefing time...an opportunity to show my experience preparing for this time...the best plan to be unfolded in England.

Sun Dahl: In the meantime you have been having a very exciting time tagging along with Miss Sun Mi every night until late....oh boy...how are you going to handle being without Miss Sun Mi

Hyun Chul: (He acknowledges Sun Dahl statement and quietly smile)

Sun Dahl: Oh boy...it doesn matter how hard you work together with Miss Sun Mi you still shine all over your face...every day you work hard into the late night...somehow you look suspicious...tell me...tell me the truth...what do you do with Miss Sun Mi every late night other then work...you are doing something with Miss Sun Mi without letting anyone know

Hyun Chul: Good heavens!!!!

Sun Dahl: Indeed if your character was like that then it probably would be very good for you...you still have not confessed to Miss Sun Mi

Hyun Chul: (It has come to that subject...his face becomes bitter)

Sun Dahl: Really...look at you!!! I pity you...anyhow during all that time...truly you just worked..oh boy...where can you get that kind of good opportunity...until late into the night like that...only the two of you...all you had to do was say "your mine"...then probably everything would have turned out simple.

Hyun Chul: Yes! I know that is a simple statement....for some reason I can't say it easily

Sun Dahl: (He acts anxious...then pounds his chest)

Hyun Chul: Senior...you don't have to worry about that subject anymore

Sun Dahl: Huh??????

Hyun Chul: After I come back from my business trip...I'm going to tell Miss Sun Mi about everything inside my heart...even I can't tolerate this situation anymore...I'm not afraid anymore...I'm not going to hold back

SECRETARY ROOM (TIME TO LEAVE THE OFFICE)

Sun Mi: (Answers the interphone) Yes, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: A little while ago, I sent you an e-mail...please check your e-mail

Sun Mi: (inclines her head...then she tries to open her e-mail from Hyun Chul)

Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!
You met a corrupted boss like me who made you weary in body and mind the whole time...every late night I intentionally made you work and you never once even complained...you silently kept up with me and I am very thankful for that...
If Miss Jin Sun Mi didn exist at this time how would everything have turned out to be...I would probably be still wandering in a labyrinth...even if without Miss Jin Sun Mi I would discover some situation, this situation probably would not be satisfied by my self-confidence
Every moment I was impressed and surprised by Miss Jin Sun Mi's flash of ideas...such a bright mind...put in my hands the desire to achieve...I have a lot of self-confidence!!!!!!
If they look at my proposal favorably...we are sure going to be partners for a documentary production
In the meantime I am with Miss Jin Sun Mi...I think we have a strong friendship... Miss Jin Sun Mi what do you think of this...Oh I forgot....Miss Jin Sun Mi doesn't like to be my friend...truly I too am not looking for a friendship with Miss Jin Sun Mi
Tomorrow...as soon as I come back from Jae-Ju-Doh...I am going to call you...I have to meet with you for an important conversation...at that time you will surely find out about what kind of relationship I am looking for between you and me...thank you very much Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (before she knows it tears come down her cheek...Sun Mi quickly wipes away the tears) what am I going to do...how do I handle this situation....why do I have these many tears...I have to leave soon...in the future when that time comes what am I going to do
(Sun Mi tries roughly to bring the situation under control...at that time the door quietly opens...Hyun Chul comes out of his office to leave)

Sun Mi: (She gets up from her seat and drops her head)

Hyun Chul: (walks straight to the front of Sun Mi) may I see you tomorrow

Sun Mi: (nods her head) I am going to wait for a call from Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (gently smiles) I am going to go ahead and leave...I am going to take the rest of today off for the sake of tomorrow

Sun Mi: Yes, Mr. Director...I think you need a rest...also, be careful on your business trip

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul is aware that Sun Mi is avoiding his eyes) if you don't mind...look at my face when we are talking......it is not the main game but tomorrows briefing is an important situation...if Miss Jin Sun Mi can give me some encouragement then I will feel like I have more strength

Sun Mi: (slowly holds up her head...then stares at Hyun Chul eyes...she makes a tranquil smile) Good luck!! Mr. Director...don't waste the hard work we prepared every day and night...okay...Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: (gently smiles) yes, really...for now on I will think I am an expert and will have good hand at the briefing

TV STATION LOBBY

Woo Jin: (Woo Jin has been waiting for Sun Mi for a long time...Sun Mi just came from the entrance...Woo Jin turns toward Sun Mi) Miss Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (turns around to look) Mr. Woo Jin

Woo Jin: (walks near to Sun Mi) If you don't have any plans...then may I have some time with you this evening...Miss Sun Mi, I have something to say to you

Sun Mi: (The expression in Woo Jin eyes was unusual...Sun Mi hesitates) yes, I will try Mr. Woo Jin

INSIDE HYUN CHUL CAR

Hyun Chul sets the volume on his radio...Hyun Chul drives toward his condo...he has a happy look on his face...then suddenly he looks like "Oh my goodness" he tries to turn his car around to drive back to the TV station
"Yun Hyun Chul!!!!! You go forth into battle with out a rifle...what is wrong with you ...you look like an absent-minded soldier"

Before he left his office...he became so tense by the e-mail he sent Sun Mi...he forgot about bringing the document along for tomorrows briefing and drove toward his condo

SECRETARY ROOM

With urgency on his mind Hyun Chul quickly enters the office...at the time he opened his office door the sound of the fax machine disturbed the silence...he just tried to ignore the fax machine for fear of wandering...but, he goes near the fax machine and picks up the cover letter...it is sent to Sun Mi from her senior friend...it is a simple memo from Ueon Mi to Sun Mi...attached is a message of congratulations on Sun Mi's success on the examination for national expenditure honor a student...Hyun Chul turns completely white as snow...Hyun Chul picks up the next page roughly then he remembers Sun Mi answer to him a month ago...his face become extremely distorted

"I can't keep that kind of promise...I don't want to promise you anything"

Sun Mi words spin around in Hyun Chul ear...Hyun Chul helplessly drops Sun Mi documents to the floor.

Hyun Chul forgets his original purpose for coming back to the office...his mind feels extremely betrayed by Sun Mi...Hyun Chul shocked look doesn't disappear as he urgently runs out of Sun Mi office

HYUN CHUL (DRIVING HIS CAR)

Hyun Chul speedily drives his car with a terrible face...then he tries to telephone someone...he hears a voice answer his call

"Hello...Miss Jin Sun Mi's cell phone"

The sound of Woo Jin voice was like someone pouring hot oil on Hyun Chul...Hyun Chul's nervous temperament causes him to immediately hang up the telephone...then he picks up more speed

A RESTAURANT

Woo Jin: (He thought someone called by mistakee...he puts Sun Mi cell phone down into its original place...Woo Jin sees Sun Mi return to her seat)

Sun Mi: (she sits down in her seat) I am sorry

Woo Jin: No, it is all right

Sun Mi: Do you have something to say to me?

Woo Jin: Yes, (he looks determined) I think I can't hide my heart anymore

Sun Mi: (She becomes very tense)

Woo Jin: I like you Miss Sun Mi...not as co-worker...not as friends...as a man who likes Miss Jin Sun Mi very much

Sun Mi: (Is aware of what he is saying...but she looks confused) Mr. Woo Jin

Woo Jin: I would like to hear your words, Miss Sun Mi...what do you think about me (he makes a helpless smile) anyhow...I feel my presentiment is ominous...but, I hope that I am wrong

Sun Mi: (tries to calm herself..then looks self-possessed) I have to begin by saying first...I appreciate what you are saying and I will keep Mr. Kim Woo Jin in my heart...but, at the present time I only think of Mr. Kim Woo Jin as a good co-worker and friend...also, in the future I think I will think the same as the present...Mr. Kim Woo Jin

Woo Jin: (The expression of his face is obviously disappointment...but, Woo Jin tries to make a faint smile) As well...my presentiment is as I feared...not once have I been wrong

Sun Mi: (She feels regrettable...she can't even lift up her head)

Woo Jin: Thank you for telling me your true feelings

THE FRONT OF SUN MI HOUSE

Inside Hyun Chul car...Hyun Chul looks up into the darkness of Sun Mi room and his face become very chilly and hard at once the atmosphere becomes stirred up

At that moment in front of Sun Mi house Woo Jin car arrives...Sun Mi and Woo Jin get out of the car at the same time

Woo Jin: (Stands close to Sun Mi with a sad expression in his eyes...but, he intentionally tries to make his voice sound bright) We remain good friends...right...Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (look at him with delicate eyes...she nods her head)

Woo Jin: (His tears begin to make his eyes hazy...he tries to shake his tears away...he sticks out his hand to Sun Mi) I am going to leave...good night...Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (slowly sticks out her hand to shake Woo Jin hand)

Woo Jin: (Woo Jin tightly holds his hand inside Sun Mi hand...then gives her a last glance with anxious eyes)

Exactly at that moment...suddenly the lights from bright headlights are thrown onto Sun Mi and Woo Jin...with the noise of an alarm whistle...Sun Mi and Woo Jin turn toward to where the sound and light are coming from...then they see far away inside the darkness a car is wildly moving backward and quickly drives away

HYUN CHUL CONDO

Min Chul: (Hyun Chul becomes intoxicated by liquor...this looks to be too much for him...Min Chul drags Hyun Chul to his room) Good heavens...I thought you have to go on a business trip early tomorrow morning...why do you drink this much

Hyun Chul: (He waves his arms carelessly around) I don't need anyone...go leave!!!!! go!!!!!

Min Chul: (falls down onto Hyun Chul bed with Hyun Chul...then is barely able to make Hyun Chul lie down in his bed...he looks at his brother Hyun Chul with great concern) As long as I can remember you never...even once...have been intoxicated by liquor...what is the matter with you...why all of the sudden you have become like this

Hyun Chul: (It looks to be too much for him) Min Chul!!! Is it meant to be this painful to love someone...love makes this much pain.

Min Chul: brother

Hyun Chul: She is going to leave...she is trying to go extremely far away (Hyun Chul close his eyes...tears come out little by little) I'm not going to forgive you Miss Sun Mi...I'm never going to forgive you

Min Chul: !!!!!!!!

A MONTAGE

The next morning annoyed by Min Chul...Hyun Chul barely opens his eyes and prepares for the business trip...but, he misses the reservation for the first airplane to Jae-Je-Doh

It approaches near to the meeting time, Hyun Chul barely arrives at hotel...he forgot to prepare the briefing data...also, half of his mind is still focused on the Sun Mi situation...in this condition he didn complete the briefing statement

Even the planning departmental staff that traveled with Hyun Chul can't hide being perplexed about one month of hard work has been finished by being thrown into confusion...Hyun Chul already looks like he is giving up everything...he closes his mouth...and makes an ambiguous facial expression

SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi tightly holds her two hands and impatiently walks back and forth through the secretary room...she prayers that Hyun Chul finishes the briefing without any mistakes

At that time, the telephone rings

Sun Mi: Yes, planning department Director room...Jin Sun Mi speaking

Ueun Mi: Sun Mi???? Congratulations

Sun Mi: Huh?????

Ueun Mi: Yesterday I sent you a fax...you still haven seen it!! You made it!! You had success on the examination for national expenditure honor student!!!

Sun Mi: (Her heart collapses with a bang...now the time has come...she really has to leave)

Ueun Mi: I tried telephoning you after I sent you the fax but an urgent problem suddenly came up and for a moment I forget to telephone you...well how do you feel Sun Mi...for this good news, you better give me a good treat...right

Sun Mi: (already her eyes become slightly wet...she just closes her eyes...then tears drop down to her cheek)

SUN MI HOUSE

From leaving her office until now she never even once let her cell phone slip away from her hand...she waits for Hyun Chul call...time passes by and so far she doesn't have any news from Hyun Chul...before anyone knows it the time has come close to midnight

She puts the fax about her success on the examination national expenditure honor student document and her cell phone next to her on the bed...in the corner of her heart there is a hazy pain...Sun Mi helplessly lies face down on her bed and fumbles with her cell phone

Suddenly the telephone rings

Sun Mi: (quicklyhe gets up and answers) Hello

Hyun Chul: ......

Sun Mi: Hello

(Instantly the telephone is disconnected...she helplessly looks down at her cell phone with her head dropped)

INSIDE HYUN CHUL CAR

Hyun Chul drives his car without a definite destinationn...in one day Hyun Chul has become haggard looking...from the faint street light Hyun Chul face reflects that his eyes are slightly wet...in this appearance one can see how much pain he is in

SECRETARY ROOM

Sun Mi: (when he returned from Jae-Ju-Doh, Hyun Chul was supposed to telephone Sun Miu...this morning Hyun Chul didn't even arrive at his office...as time passed by her emotions begin to be disappointed...now Sun Mi little by little begins to feel anxiety)

Sun Dahl: (In a great hurry Sun Dahl comes running into the secretary room) Miss Jin Sun Mi...has Director Yun arrived at his office

Sun Mi: (She gets up from her seat) No, Mr. Director has still not arrived at his office yet

Sun Dahl: Oh...good heavens!!

Sun Mi: (Sun Dahl unordinary look makes Sun Mi feel worried) Has something happened to Mr. Director??

Sun Dahl: Well (he hesitates a moment) yesterday at the airport...after separating from the planning department Mr. Lee...Director Yun's trace became unknown...and last night he didn even go to his condo

Sun Mi: (Suddenly changes her expression) What are you trying to say!!!!! Why!!!Why has Mr. Director disappeared

Sun Dahl: I don know what exactly happened to him...Mr. Lee's words were that from Jae-Ju-Doh Director Yun looked like a lost soul...he attended the meeting without putting the briefing documents in order...and gave a confused presentation.

Sun Mi: (She looks like she can't believe it...she waves her head) It can be...the day before there was nothing the matter with the document...also you don't know how hard we worked to prepare that document...how much energy we put into it.

Sun Dahl: Yes, I know what you mean...good heavens...where did he disappear to ...I hope nothing has happened

Sun Mi: (She forgets Sun Dahl is in front of her...tears begin to pour from her eyes)

Sun Dahl: (He turns around to look at Sun Mi...he sees the tears from Sun Mi eyes for a moment Sun Dahl hesitates and hangs back) Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (embarrassed, she quickly wipes away her tears)

Sun Dahl: (as he expected...he thinks about being right about Sun Mi for long time...he tries somehow to make Sun Mi feel better) Don't worry to much about him...he is a bit extravagant...for a little while he may have taken his leave...I think he is going to contact someone soon

Sun Mi: (She completely remains anxious)

Sun Dahl: Miss Sun Mi...I am going to continue to look for him...so don't worry about him anymore

A CAFE'

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl in a hurry comes running to the cafe') Min Chul...Hyun Chul still hasn't contacted you yet

Min Chul: Yes

Sun Dahl: Oh boy!! This could make work become utter confusion...he hides his where abouts!! What are we going to do if Mr. Chairman becomes aware of this situation

Min Chul: father...he still doesn know about any of this????

Sun Dahl: Ummm...I tried to make excuses for his absence...good heavens...he is not a one or two year old kid...he should know obviously everyone will worry...why hasn't he even contacted anyone...why...why on earth does he act like this...I think he has passed the age for resistance

Min Chul: (unexpectedly looks calm) I think he is doing this because of Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Dahl: Miss Jin Sun Mi?????

Min Chul: Yes...(Min Chul explains to Sun Dahl about Hyun Chul's drunken speech the day before yesterday)

Sun Dahl: The impression I got from Miss Sun Mi was that she totally doesn't realize anything about this situation...she is going to leave far away...then she has resigned from her work.

Min Chul: well...anyhow...only Miss Jin Sun Mi can bring my brother home

Sun Dahl: bring home!! then you know where Hyun Chul is

Min Chul: (slowly nods his head) there is only one place my brother can stay...exactly...that place is where my brother expects Miss Jin Sun Mi to come...also...we must act as a guide for Miss Sun Mi

Sun Dahl: (He looks like he doesn't understand any of Min Chul words)

SUN MI ROOM

Corner of her bed...Sun Mi sits down...she continues to pour out tears

"What on earth...where are you...you don have any troubles...your all right...how can you make me worry like this...come back soon...please come back soon"

For some possibility...Sun Mi waits for a telephone call from Hyun Chul..all night Sun Mi just holds her cell phone...exhausted from crying...she barely falls asleep

THE NEXT DAY IN FRONT OF SUN MI HOUSE

With a fragile face and swelled up eyes, it looks like too much for her...but, Sun Mi tries to attend her office

Min Chul: (gets out of his car) Miss Sun Mi!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (surprised by Min Chul...suddenly Sun Mi become fearful that something has happened to Hyun Chul...that thought made Sun Mi unable to move her body)

Min Chul: I came here to ask...Miss Sun Mi for a favor

Sun Mi: Mr. Dirr..... Director....has something happened to him

Min Chul: (He is able to see Sun Mi anxious expression...he tries to make Sun Mi feel better) No, nothing has happened to him...don't worry

Sun Mi: Where is he...so where is Mr. Director

Min Chul: please get in...I am going to tell you while I am driving

TOWARD YANG PYUNG INSIDE MIN CHUL CAR

Min Chul: (looks at Sun Mi...then again he stares in front of him...he puts on a tender smile) while Miss Sun Mi has worked together with my brother...probably Miss Sun Mi has become aware of my brother behavior...my brothere is quite stubborn

Sun Mi: (makes a faint smile...she stares outside the car window)

Min Chul: When he was young my brother become unreasonably demanding about some situation...my father picked up a whip and my mother tried to say words to calm him down...but, for my brother...there is no use to say anything...when he is angry like thise...he begins to be stubborn....truly, everyone is unable to make him stop...only he can allow himself to calm down or he has to find a suitable compromise for himself.

Sun Mi: (somehow she is being well informed, without seeing...its like drawing a picture)

Min Chul: This time...there is a person who can break my brother stubbornness....I think...it is only likely to be Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: You put too much confidence in me...I know Mr. Director trusts me...But, there is no use for my support...I don't even know what reason has caused Mr. Director to act this way

Min Chul: (with a deep smile) No, Miss Sun Mi you have enough to change my brother behavior...also...Miss Sun Mi has an obligation...what I am trying to say is that Miss Sun Mi has to take responsibility

Sun Mi: Mr. Min Chul sounds like...the reason for Mr. Director disappearance is because of me

Min Chul: Yes, something like that!!

Sun Mi: Huh?????

Min Chul: As long as I've known my brother behavior...for sure my brother always waits for the person who made him mad to come to him

(((((((((((((Skip one page...we think one page is missing)))))))))))))))))))))))
Sun Mi: (Min Chul continues to talk...words that Sun Mi doesn't understand)

FRONT OF YONG PYONG VILLA

(Min Chul's car gently comes to a stop in front of the villa)

Min Chul: It is probably not easy...however, I can confide in Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi's expression is very tense)

Min Chul: (the color of his eyes become playful) Oh! Anyhow...I'm very worried about leaving you inside the wolf's den...I feel like I am leaving behind a young lamb...be careful...

Sun Mi: (she becomes ashamed...her face blushes) Be careful going home (she gets out of Min Chul's car)

Min Chul: (rolls down the car window) I beg you...look after my brother

(Sun Mi watches the back of Min Chul's car as it drives away into the distance...then she begins to feel uneasy about being left behind alone...she thought about how she could persuade this stubborn man...Sun Mi feels that it is beyond her capacity...she takes a deep breath...then turns and steps inside the villa)

INSIDE THE VILLA

(The entrance to the villa was not locked...Sin Mi easily walked into the villa...she carefully takes a good look inside...however, as far as she can see there is no people inside...it is much too quiet for indoors...Sun Mi begins to feel more uneasy...she leaves the empty first floor and goes up the staircase to the second floor...one the second floor are the bedrooms...Sun Mi's heart begins to tremble...she tries to calm herself down...
There are several bedrooms...one of the bedroom's doors is slightly open...clearly Hyun Chul must be staying in this room...Sun Mi walks towards the room quietly...she looks through the opening of the doorway into the room...the inside of the room is dark because the curtains were closed...it looked like someone was on the bed but then it looked like nobody...Sun Mi hesitates for a moment...then Sun Mi enters the room...)


On top of the table, sitting in a row are foreign liquor bottles
The inside of Sun Mi heart is hurt by the outward look...in a moment Sun Mi turns toward the direction of the bed
There is a loud bang...a door is shut
Sun Mi is shocked and quickly turns around and stands...she sees that in front of the door Hyun Chul stands stiffly

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi instantly becomes confused...she hesitates and takes a step back)

Hyun Chul: (faint inside the darkness...Hyun Chul expression is hard to see...his eyes are intensely pinned on Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Mr. Dr. Director

Hyun Chul: What business are you doing here

Sun Mi: I'm

Hyun Chul: (with all his ability...he makes a sarcastic remark) I'm here to stay...has Miss Jin Sun Mi come here to work

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: (He walks slowly towards Sun Mi) well what are we going to do for fun?? I think here we have to do something unusual to have fun
(Hyun Chul becomes very close to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul unusual attitude makes Sun Mi turn her face away and try to leave)

Hyun Chul: (snatches Sun Mi arm with a jerk...he grabs hold of Sun Mi shoulders tightly so that she can move an inch)

Sun Mi: (looks straight at Hyun Chul) Stop...don't do this!! Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: What do you mean don't...isn't this the kind of fun you are asking for

Sun Mi: (with an angry face...she tries to break loose from Hyun Chul arms)

Hyun Chul: (with more energy...he pushes Sun Mi into the direction of the wall and locks her inside his two arms) Who entered this place first without fear...Miss Jin Sun Mi eyes always look at me only like Director Yun...but, you forget that I am also a man (slowly he sweeps down Sun Mi cheek...then...moves his lips close toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She just closes her eyes) Please! Don't Mr. Director...this is not like you

Hyun Chul: (with all his strengthe strikes the wall) Not like me!!!! then what is like me!!!!!! what is like me!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She tightly closes her eyes...tears silently run down her face)

Hyun Chul: (takes his arms off of Sun Mi...and takes one step back) get out of here quick...before I change my mind

Sun Mi: (She opens her wet eyes slightly) Let us go together Mr. Director...how long are you going to stay inn this place..like this

Hyun Chul: none of your business

Sun Mi: Unless Mr. Director can tell me what the reason is for Mr. Director doing this......Mr. Director...please think about the people who you have caused anxiety

Hyun Chul: Reason....Mmmm!!! There is no reason...it is just that everything became boring....the work, the competition...everything!!!!!

Sun Mi: Don't lie to me Mr. Director...you think I'm going to believe that kind of lie

Hyun Chul: Good heavens...you are an impertinent secretary...believe me or not...think what you want

Sun Mi: Mr. Director...Mr. Chairman still doesn't know about anything...at this time...you still have an opportunity...we can prepare everything again and you can go to England...then you can fix the mistake from Jae-Ju-Dohleaser. Director

Hyun Chul: (with a fearful face again pushes Sun Mi to the well) stop...stop it!!!! Your behavior inside and out is different...it makes me feel like I want to vomit!!!!!

Sun Mi: Think about it...Mr. Min Chul and other fellow workers have become anxious by Mr. Director behavior...everyone is worried that Mr. Chairman will find out about this situation...it has made them stay awake throughout the night...they take the situation strongly to their heart

Hyun Chul: Why do you care!!!!! It is none of your business!!!!!!!! You are going to leave anyhow...you are going to leave so don't act like you care about me!!!!!

Sun Mi: What are you talking about Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: You think I don know about everything...I know you are preparing to leave

Sun Mi: (cringes in surprise) How did Mr. Director know about that situation...Yes I am preparing to leave...but, that was my personal matter!!!! Mr. Director...also...I thought if anyone wished to leave...then they could leave at any time

Hyun Chul: Yes, leave!!!! Leave when you wish!!!!!
We don't have know each other or anything...we don't have to worry about each other or anything...we each should just live our lives!!!!! That is what it is all about...leaving is just leaving!!!! Therefore don't act like you care about me...leave...just leave a soon as possible!!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Director...how can you compare those things!!!!!!
Each of Mr. Director behavior...has many peoples lives hanging on you...the people at work...the future of the broadcasting station...everything hangs in your hands

Hyun Chul: I don't care!!!! I don't want to know!!!!!

Sun Mi: Don't try to run away from that situation!!!!

Hyun Chul: Good heavens!!! Leave me alone!!!!!

Sun Mi: You are truly stubborn

Hyun Chul: You want to say that I am helpless

Sun Mi: (stares for a long time at Hyun Chul) In the long run I must have come here for the wrong reason...Mr. Director can spend one year...ten years...or...Mr. Director can spend all his life in this place...do what you wish (she goes past Hyun Chul as she walks toward the door)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul quickly turns around...in a flash he pulls Sun Mi nearer...then he tightly embraces Sun Mi)

(Sun Mi tries to free herself from Hyun Chul...Hyun Chul more tightly takes Sun Mi under his arms...they continue to make little quarrel gestures...then they become silent...only the sound of breathing can be heard throughout the desolate room)

Hyun Chul: I can't think about anything...the broadcasting station...my family...my employees...nothing...it is too painful to think about any other situation...so I can't think about anything

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: (He buries his face deeply into Sun Mi hair) It is too painful

Sun Mi: (she leaves her body against Hyun Chul...tears drip down her face...she doesn know the reason why but she can feel Hyun Chul pain)

Hyun Chul: (He tries to hold Sun Mi in his arms more tightly...then he gently sweeps his hand down Sun Mi back)

Sun Mi: (She trembles slightly) What makes Mr. Director have this much pain

Hyun Chul: (He says to himself "it's you")

Sun Mi: Mr. Director...can I do anything for you...please...tell me if I can help you in any way

Hyun Chul: (he slowly lets go of Sun Mi) sorry about today's situation...please, completely erase it from your memory...that is how you can help me

Sun Mi: (She can clearly see tear marks on Hyun Chul face...Sun Mi takes Hyun Chul cheeks under her trembling hands) Don't be sorry...don't say sorry Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (He holds Sun Mi hands...then gently passes his lips to Sun Mi hand...then gently puts Sun Mi hand to his hand)

(A warm feeling is transmitted by each other heart...then they slightly tremble together)

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi hand on top of his hand) Do you have to go study abroad...Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (She says to herself "Not if you don't want me to leave")

Hyun Chul: (slowly he raises his head and gazes into Sun Mi eyes) For one last time....you can do me one favor

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: If you don't mind....can you go to England with me...I absolutely don't have the self-confidence to go by myself

Sun Mi: Mr. Director...

Hyun Chul: lets go together...please (the expression in Hyun Chul eyes become earnest) this time...I have to go together with Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: ......

Sun Mi: (nods her head) Yes...I will go together with Mr. Director


 

LOVELY YOU: CHAPTER 12 PART 1

AUTHOR: MARGARET
TRANSLATOR: K&M

MONTAGE

For the purpose of the final England presentation...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi look through statements to re-arrange insufficient data...they work busily to finish the presentation in the limited amount of time

Their passion for the work fills the atmosphere and is transmitted from their eyes...in the middle of all of this...they do not forget to appreciate and encourage each other...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi don't mention their pain...they put their head down when their facial expression become full of pain

Also...the thought of being alone and not together...makes them have no choice but to have tears in their eyes

JE YUN CLOTHE'S STORE

After leaving her office, Sun Mi is led by Hyun Chul toward Je Yun clothes shop

After the day at the villa...not only Sun Mi but also Hyun Chul have become different...now Hyun Chul has decreased his playful eyes and words...occasionally, Hyun Chul stares at Sun Mi with lonely and anxious eyes...every time Sun Mi is aware of Hyun Chul gaze, she becomes wrapped in mysterious emotion

Sun Mi steps into the broadcast station lobby...Hyun Chul tightly grabs her hand...and without any explanation has brought her to this store...Sun Mi doesn't ask Hyun Chul about anything

At the present time, Hyun Chul has a different emotion then Sun Mi...never the less...Sun Mi is already aware of Hyun Chul pain and disappointment about being separated from her

Je Yun: (she welcomes Sun Mi and Hyun Chul delightfully) Come in please...it has been a long time since I have seen you, Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (vaguely smiles) Yes. How are you?

Je Yun: It is about time that Miss Sun Mi became a registered customer of my dress shop.

Sun Mi: (looks at Je Yun as if to say "what are you talking about")

Hyun Chul: (looks toward Je Yun and nods his head)

Je Yun: (she calls her employee and explains to them to take Sun Mi inside)

Sun Mi follows the employee...she enters with a confused look...Sun Mi looks back at Hyun Chul...Hyun Chul tries to help Sun Mi feel relieved...he make a warm smile toward Sun Mi

Je Yun: You say you are going to leave for London this coming weekend...then you will need the dress completed by at least Friday evening

Hyun Chul: (in a low voice) Je Yun...prepare the world most beautiful dress...it must be best suitable for Miss Jin Sun Mi...it must look like a beautiful spectacular dress...okay

Je Yun: (see looks at Hyun Chul slightly wet eyes, her heart becomes worried) Yes, I understand. I will put all my energy into it. I will grind and polish all my techniques to make the most suitable dress for Miss Jin Sun Mi...but brother...probably that will make you very nervous...because every man will tremble after they see Miss Jin Sun Mi appearance.

BAR

Sun Dahl: (an unskillful lover...Sun Dahl thinks about Hyun Chul and Sun Mi and makes a quiet smile...already everyone is aware of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi passion for each other...Sun Dahl feels like telling Hyun Chul...but, Sun Dahl feels this situation should be theirs...he barely becomes patient except for the tickle in his mouth) Finally...the decisive final day is approaching

Hyun Chul: (slowly wets his lips to take a drink...and nods his head)

Sun Dahl: This time you have to catch two rabbits at the same time from that place...work and love...I'm going to pray enthusiastically

Hyun Chul: (vaguely smiles)

Sun Dahl: Even if this time you do equivocate and do not confess to Miss Sun Mi...remember!! This is your last chance!! Okay?

Hyun Chul: Don't worry (after emptying his liquor glass, he fills it up again) I will do what I think...I will follow my heart...I absolutely don't want to remain in regret

Sun Dahl: That is right...just do as you feel...do it exactly that way

CAFE

Ueun Mi: (she is surprised by Sun Mi words) what are you saying...what do you mean a business trip?? On that day you have to go to an interview.

Sun Mi: I'm sorry Senior...it has just become like that

Ueun Mi: What do you mean it has just become like that...you think...you bring this kind of subject now makes any sense...if you don't go to the interview Sun Mi...it will be like passing over water...also speaking bluntly...I thought you were trying to resign from your work...what do you mean business trip...talk to your boss...because of this way and that way a personal matter has come up...which makes you unable to go with him

Sun Mi: ......

Ueun Mi: Sun Mi...why are you doing this...this type of opportunity doesn't come around twice

Sun Mi: (She drops her head down)

Ueun Mi: Well then...are you giving up going abroad to study...have you decided to continue at the broadcasting station?

Sun Mi: No, I am going to leave the broadcasting station just as I planned

Ueun Mi: (acts like her heart is about to explode) then what is this!!! You are giving up studying abroad and giving up your work...are you crazy!!!

Sun Mi: (makes a scornful smile) I must be Senior...in any way...I think...I am crazy

Ueun Mi: Sun Mi

Sun Mi: He asked me so eagerly...I couldn't allow myself to tell him I couldn't go with him...he is much more important than going abroad to study

Ueun Mi: Who is this man

Sun Mi: Well...there is...such as a man

Ueun Mi: What on Earth...I would like to know...what kind of person you are talking about...does he know that you are doing all of this for him

Sun Mi: (she makes a bitter smile) probably he doesn't...but...that is not important to me...he may or may not know...the important thing is my heart...if it makes him happy, then this kind of thing is nothing for me

Ueun Mi: (she looks dumb-founded)

Sun Mi: About going abroad to study...even if I don't go now...I can go anytime...but he needs me now...(her eyes fill with tears) this is the last good favor I can give him
And my love for him

LONDON, HEATHROW AIRPORT

They only think about each other...they look as if there isn't enough time...from the moment the plane left Seoul they have not let anyone or anything come between them

Hyun Chul: (it has been a long time since Hyun Chul has made a bright smile) I feel like I am returning to my hometown

Sun Mi: How long has it been since you visited England?

Hyun Chul: It has been about two years...Miss Sun Mi, this is your first trip to England, correct?

Sun Mi: (she nods her head) Yes

Hyun Chul: Tell me Miss Sun Mi...is there any place you would like to visit...I would be happy to guide you

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!!! We didn't come here to play...don't forget that our goal is to make an excellent presentation in order to get the partnership

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi and smiles) that is probably Miss Jin Sun Mi final goal...but it is not mine

Sun Mi: huh???

Hyun Chul: Well...so you really don't want to visit any place at all...not even one place...okay, I understand...then everyday we will confine ourselves to our hotel rooms

Sun Mi: well...I didn't mean

Hyun Chul: (makes a playful face and then gazes into the distance)

Sun Mi: I would like to visit everywhere...but we don't have enough time

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul grabs Sun Mi hands and starts walking) oh, yes...we look like we barely have enough time

Sun Mi: (she chases after Hyun Chul..her facial expression looks like a good mood)

DOWNTOWN LONDON

After finishing checking into the hotel...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi unpack their luggage...they head straight for downtown London...after such a long journey they should be tired...but they want to fill their little time with valuable memories...they catch sunlight through the dark clouds in the sky...the air is alive with traditions and the history of the city...this is the beginning of showing their passion and love in the city...they begin to stroll about London

They first arrive at...Buckingham Palace-
They pass by this magnificent ancient old palace behind a high wall...they cross toward Trafalgar Square where the young people heat the atmosphere
They arrive at the existing musical place...in downtown London

"Phantom of the Opera","Miss Saigon","Les Miserables",and "Cats" shine from the theaters...even looking through the titles of the theaters make Sun Mi become aware of a deep tremble inside her...Sun Mi tries to leave these behind but her heart is reluctant to leave

Hyun Chul: (tries to read Sun Mi facial expression) Unsatisfactory!!! We came all the way here...and all we do is go right past it

Sun Mi: No, I will be all right (vaguely smiles) actually...I am abundantly dissatisfied

Hyun Chul: (quietly holds Sun Mi hand) well...then later on...once again...we will come back to visit

Sun Mi: (in an instant a sad smile passes her face) Probably...once again...I will come back to visit...but naturally at that time...Mr. Director or me will be together with someone different than now

Hyun Chul: (his face becomes hard) well...let me see...nobody can forecast the future...maybe...we will be together when we come back to visit this place

(For a moment they meet each other with delicate eyes)

Hyun Chul: (holds Sun Mi hand more tightly and leads her forward) Let's go...by all means...I would like to look at a place with Miss Sun Mi

NOTTING HILL

They get off the subway...they arrive at the street made famous in the movie "Notting Hill"

Hyun Chul: Do you know where we are?

Sun Mi: (She looks around...but nothing catches her eye...it just looks like an ordinary street) I'm not sure...where are we??

Hyun Chul: By any chance have you seen the movie "Notting Hill"

Sun Mi: of course...(slowly her eye become bigger)...then this place is???

Hyun Chul: (smiles and nods his head)

Sun Mi: (points straight in front of her at a bookstore) Well...then by any chance...is that bookstore...where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant meet for the first time

Hyun Chul: Yes

Sun Mi: (she looks miraculous and joyful, she doesn't know what to do) watch through during the movie I thought about this place...at least once I wished I could come to visit this place...but I never thought that my wish would come true

Hyun Chul: (he follows Sun Mi joyful figure...then he even becomes joyful) it is obviously a romantic comedy...but be concerned with the story...it was full of humor and emotion...it is an English style movie

Sun Mi: Um...and then it is different from other movies...it is not the female, but the male who is Cinderella...that is very unique...it is like a dream story...yet at least once anybody can look at it as their dream...it is like a beautiful love story

(Naturally, they hold each other hand...they arrive at Portobello Street)

Sun Mi: (this time, without Hyun Chul help...Sun Mi tries to guess before Hyun Chul help) Maybe this street...is where Hugh Grant strolled yearning for Julia Roberts...right, Mr. Director? The four seasons quickly passed this street.

Hyun Chul: Ding-dong-dang...and then...they used computer graphics to handle the four seasons in that scene

Sun Mi: Ah...(she makes a quiet smile)...Hugh Grant spent a long time yearning for one woman...sometimes he looked so lonely and other times he looked like he forgot...he made efforts to make a bright smile while walking...that scene impressed and appealed to me...I was very pleased with him

Hyun Chul: Oh, you were?? So, Miss Sun Mi is fond of Hugh Grant's style

Sun Mi: Um...well...something like that

Hyun Chul: (straightens his collar, and with quiet seriousness) Am I...do I slightly look like Hugh Grant?

Sun Mi: (For a moment Sun Mi was barely patient about wanting to laugh...she acts pitiless) No...Mr. Director you are not...not at all

Hyun Chul: (embarrassed and ashamed...he looks a little sulky...Hyun Chul walks by himself in front of Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (goes after Hyun Chul...she looks quietly at Hyun Chul) I did not finish my conversation...Mr. Director, you should listen to what I have to say until I am finished

Hyun Chul: (snappily) my goodness!! What kind of conversation do you want me to listen to...you lost your breath for...that guy...Hugh Grant...how he look so splendid

Sun Mi: (she stands by Hyun Chul side) No...I was going to say that...Mr. Director is...a lot more fascinating than Hugh Grant

Hyun Chul: (he suddenly stops and looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she nods her head to show that her words were true)

Hyun Chul: somehow you feel regrettable...so you are deliberately saying that

Sun Mi: No...it is true...(with a somewhat bitter look)...Mr. Director...right now standing in front of me...was much more fascinating than Hugh Grant (she talks like she is by herself, and says in a low voice) also more than any other person

Hyun Chul: (like a child, all at once he looks bright) Miss Sun Mi!!! Would you mind doing your wide smile for me?

Sun Mi: Huh??? All of the sudden...why

Hyun Chul: Quick..do the smile once...Miss Jin Sun Mi's special smile...all of the sudden...I want to see it

Sun Mi: (makes an awkward expression) I cannot do...the smile...it only comes out naturally...making the smile by force...the smile doesn't come from insistence

Hyun Chul: then...(all of the sudden Hyun Chul tries to look ridiculous)

Sun Mi: Hah!!! (Naturally Sun Mi's face becomes bright with a smile...then she gazes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (with a gentle smile, Hyun Chul wraps his arms around Sun Mi's shoulders) yes...precisely...the bright smile I asked for

Sun Mi: (she becomes bashful in front of Hyun Chul eyes...but gradually smiles a little)

Hyun Chul: If Julia Roberts...has a million dollar smile...then Miss Jin Sun Mi...has a ten million dollar smile!!! Billions...no...under no circumstance can it be compared to money...you have the world's most beautiful smile

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi doesn't notice that her smile completely disappears)

Hyun Chul: (with a deep voice) I am...very fond of...Miss Sun Mi's smile

(Before they are aware, it becomes dark...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi go and get a simple English traditional meal of fish and chips from the neighborhood store...they visit the park...just like in the motion picture...when the two main characters try to find a place to enjoy their date)

Hyun Chul: (the gate is locked...he shakes the gate as if to force it open)Somehow...we have to go over the wall

Sun Mi: (she thinks about a scene in a movie and smiles)

Hyun Chul: (pulls Sun Mi near him...he prepares his hands to place under Sun Mi acting as a support)

Sun Mi: ?????

Hyun Chul: Step on top of me and climb quickly

Sun Mi: (confused) huh?? Mr. Director...well...I'm just

Hyun Chul: Please hurry...you don't wish to go inside??

Sun Mi: (for a moment she hesitates...she dawdles near Hyun Chul...then...Sun Mi carefully steps into Hyun Chul hand...she begins to climb the surface of the wall)

Hyun Chul: (he grips both of Sun Mi's legs and with all of his strength he pushes Sun Mi up the wall...then without really noticing his intention...Hyun Chul unintentionally softly supports Sun Mi's bottom)

Sun Mi: (she shrinks back in surprise by Hyun Chul hand...she quickly puts one leg over the top of the wall...she carefully climbs the surface to seat herself)

Hyun Chul: (with all of his strength...he tries to jump up the surface of the wall...after trying several times...Sun Mi pulls on Hyun Chul arms to help him up...with Sun Mi's help...Hyun Chul barely climbs the surface of the wall...Sun Mi and Hyun Chul sit side by side...Hyun Chul looks toward Sun Mi and smiles) By doing it this way we are exactly like night thieves....right, Miss Sun Mi.

Sun Mi: Yes...(she nods her head and smiles)

Hyun Chul: (for a little while Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi and smiles gently...then all of the sudden Hyun Chul jumps down onto the park grounds)

Sun Mi: (Following Hyun Chul, Sun Mi turns her body to jump down...but...the height of the wall makes her hesitate)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul act like he waits for a moment...he opens his arms widely for Sun Mi) don't worry about it...just try jumping...I'm going to catch you.

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi is quite at a loss...for a while Sun Mi holds back...then she quickly jumps down into Hyun Chul's chest)

(Sun Mi's beautiful body ran against Hyun Chul's face causing him to tremble...Hyun Chul holds Sun Mi's waist tightly in his arms...he acts like he doesn't want to let go...for a while...Hyun Chul holds Sun Mi in his arms)

Sun Mi: (feels awkward) Mr. D...ir...ec...tor

Hyun Chul: (slowly loosens his arms and gazes into Sun Mi's face...straight in front of him are Sun Mi's lips....they look like their lips are going to touch...but also their lips look not close enough to touch)

Sun Mi: (lightly drops her head to avoid Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul gazes deeply at Sun Mi with a wanting look...then he grabs Sun Mi's hand and leads her away)

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi go past beyond the surrounding walls with tangled tree branches and weeds...then...at the front of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi...spread open is a clear night prairie...where there contains moonlight)

Sun Mi: Wow...(she sighs in humble admiration...it comes out naturally)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi admiration...Hyun Chul's eyes look like he is caught...that is called magical love...they faintly smile together...Hyun Chul leads Sun Mi to the middle of this dream)

Sun Mi: (she follows Hyun Chul's helping hand...with a dreamy voice) under the moonlight there should be a waltz...that would be the right type of dance for this place...right

Hyun Chul: (he waits for a moment...then he takes a hold of both of Sun Mi hands...he gazes deeply at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Huh, now????

Hyun Chul: (he nods his head)

The insects in the grass make music...the moonlight lights the night...Sun Mi and Hyun Chul hold each other firmly...and slowly they move in a circlel...sowly...very slowly...they are intoxicated in each other's eyes

Hyun Chul stops moving...he gently draws Sun Mi near him...their eyes meet each other full of the moonlight...they can't refuse...they are led by the magical power of the night...softly their lips come close...gently they kiss

Their whole body are full of vague strength...they feel like the world has been interrupted...softly their lips come apart...their foreheads lean against each other

Sun Mi: (closes her eyes tightly) Mr. Director...we are

Hyun Chul: Don't say a word...just...let's just remain like this

(Hyun Chul ties his arms around Sun Mi's whole body...Sun Mi delves against Hyun Chul's chest more deeply...and before she knows it tears run down her face)

(For quite some time...they lean against each other...they don't move an inch)

Hyun Chul: You are not tired Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: Strangely...I'm not tired at all...I can handle this for several nights until dawn breaks...I think I am still safe and sound

Hyun Chul: Me too...

Sun Mi: By the way, we are..don't you think we should examine the presentation at least once before tomorrow

Hyun Chul: Don't worry about that...during all our hard work...I memorized everything

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi pulls away from Hyun Chul arms...she looks shy...she can't even lift her head)

Hyun Chul: (he tries to change the awkward atmosphere) well...Miss Sun Mi...lets go take a seat over there on the bench

Sun Mi: (she just nods her head)

(They sit on the bench side by side)

Hyun Chul: Are you cold?

Sun Mi: Yes, a little...this place feels chilly more in the fall than our country

Hyun Chul: (he tries to take off his coat to give to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She stops Hyun Chul from taking off his coat) You don't have to do that...then Mr. Director will be cold...so far I can bare it like this

Hyun Chul: Ummm...I know...how to come up with a way so that neither of us are cold

Sun Mi: (she looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (he quietly surrounds Sun Mi's shoulders with his arms...he wraps Sun Mi with an embrace)

Sun Mi: ......

Hyun Chul: Would you like to lean against my shoulders...do what you wish

Sun Mi: (she softly leans against Hyun Chul's shoulder and makes a delicate smile)

Hyun Chul: (he pulls Sun Mi more near...he tries to tightly embrace her...she leans her head against his shoulder...Hyun Chul gently leans his head on Sun
Mi's head)

(Everything that was happening was because of the strange country and the moonlight atmosphere...Sun Mi thought that way to herself...and today was as is...
His feeling was enough for feel Sun Mi...they touched each other's hearts...Hyun Chul thought that way to himself...
They don't ask anything...they don't answer anything...in this magic park, they lean against each other to make each other warm)

HOTEL

They ride the subway and bus to the hotel....all the way they hold each other's hand...there are no words that they can say to each other...they only talk about how lonely Hugh Grant was when he tried to leave Julia Roberts

Time passed like a dream...they slowly become unfamiliar with saddened hearts as they arrive in front of each one's hotel room door

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks down at her unchanged hand being held by Hyun Chul hand) May...I ask one question

Hyun Chul: (he deeply gazes at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Why! Why did you take me to Notting Hill, Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: Why! You did not enjoy going Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: No, I had fun...I can't even describe in any words how much fun it was

Hyun Chul: Then it was okay...Miss Sun Mi was impressed by it...maybe I like to give Miss Sun Mi that kind of impression...that is why...probably I took you in there...at least, for me that place...makes people fall in love...it is a magical place...that is why...I want to take Miss Sun Mi there

Sun Mi: (under the faint light, Sun Mi's eyes become slightly wet...her tears were like precious stones)

Hyun Chul: Good night...Miss Sun Mi...you are probably very tired...so don't dream tonight...just sleep well...but if by some chance you dream (a faint smile passes his face)...a little...just a little...I'm in next to Hugh Grant...just let me in (he breaths out as if wanting...then he gently lets go of her hand)

Sun Mi: (she feels empty) yes...good night Mr. Director...you too sleep well

Lonely...into the very late night Sun Mi and Hyun Chul still can't get to sleep...Sun Mi and Hyun Chul stand looking through the windows out into the dark London night where a faint light hits the waves of the Thames River

Together they strolled through Notting Hill holding each other hand...then the magical park where they had a sweet yet tearful kiss...they try to remember one another's endlessly warm heart

Sun Mi thinks that not even Hugh Grant can substitute for Hyun Chul...Hyun Chul thinks about Sun Mi's beautiful smile that Julia Roberts definitely can't imitate...Hyun Chul and Sun Mi can't sleep their first night in London...in this way...thoughts pass through their minds

Lovely You Ch 12

 

BBC WAITING ROOM

Hyun Chul and Sun Mi try to dismiss from their mind all of yesterday’s matters
Hyun Chul and Sun Mi appearance is formal dress without one inch of reservation, the color of their eye’s become composed and piercing
Once againto the best of their ability they are absolutely intensethey plunge into the worldthey cannot take a step backthey fretfully wait for their turn at the conference table

After the presentations. every broadcasting employee appears full of unwavering confidencethat makes Hyun Chul and Sun Mi feel much more breathless, their hands are soaked with sweat

From the opposite side of the roomJun Ho continually stares his eyes slanting at his rival broadcasting director Hyun ChulJun Ho, Hyun Chul’s one-time childhood friendhas always been pushed by from Hyun Chulunable to escape from a man of lessor virtuefrom time to time Jun Ho makes an offensive disgusting actlike revenge against Hyun Chul every time Hyun Chul is righteous, Jun Ho clenches his fistalways brings Jun Ho to tearsin that case Hyun Chul has to listen to reproaches from his parents

Like Hyun Chul and Min ChulJun Ho and Jin Ho’s brother often wrestle between themin battle Jun Ho experienced being beaten every time by Hyun Chulbecause of Hyun Chul, Jun Ho lead a very melancholy childhood

Jun Ho (must be itching for something. He walks near by Hyun Chul and Sun Mi): Director Yun!!! You made it I thought you weren’t going to show up here

Hyun Chul (jumps to his feetthen approaches Jun Ho closelyJun Ho is shorter in height than Hyun Chul, so Hyun Chul himself looks down with an arrogant attitude demolishing Jun Ho): yes, of course I’m here!!! why do you think I wouldn’t be here!!

Jun Ho (hesitates and backs up): In Jah-Juh-Doh (an island off of southeryn Korea) you ruined the briefing. What do you think I should expect to happen here. By the way you think people don’t remember what happened last time

Hyun Chul (once again Hyun Chul steps near Jun Ho): Director Jung, you work at a broadcasting station and you don’t even know that common catch phrase”the show must go on”don’t you know??

Jun Ho (looks like he doesn’t have anything to say. He just uselessly coughs then he takes a sidelong glance at Sun Mi): Director Yun’s broadcasting station doesn’t have any capable men. How can you bring a female into this place

Hyun Chul (Jun Ho scornful words at Sun Mi make Hyuns Chuls face instantly distorted.the next moment he becomes calm again): you knowwhy you can’t be my an complete contender. Because you are never going gain a victory over me.I only compete with person like me

Jun Ho (act like his pride is hurt.his face turns many colors): what!!

Hyun Chul: I’ll give you one more piece of advice. your broadcasting station can only be restored to life by one methodthat is (he leans closer to Jun Ho’s ear and says in a very low voice) get rid of a shameful person like you

Jun Ho (he scowls with his eyes and clenches his fists tightly)

Hyun Chul (makes an arrogant smile and also clenches his fists tightly)
These two appearances are not ordinarySun Mi tries to carefully examine themat that time a voice of guidance informs Sun Mi and Hyun Chul that it is their turn at the conference table

Hyun Chul (Hyun Chul raps Jun Ho’s shoulderafterwards, Hyun Chul approaches Sun Mi Sun Mi has already gotten up from her seat and is waiting for Hyun Chul)

Jun Ho (trembles clenches fists tightly and talks to himself): we will see about that Yun Hyun Chul!!!! No matter what this timeI’m surely going to brake your morale

Just before they enter the conference room, once again they try calmly collect themselves Hyun Chul and Sun Mi stand together

Hyun Chul: Are you nervous?

Sun Mi: Yes.

Hyun Chul: Me too but I think since Miss Jin Sun Mi is at my side everything be alright.if in the middle of the presentation Miss Jin Sun Mi become nervous then just look at me.okay

Sun Mi (nods her head strongly)

Looking very natural, they take hold of each others hand, and puts forth their strengthmore than any other time they turn toward to each other to confirm their self confidence

CONFERENCE ROOM

There are dozens of piercing eyes.staring at Hyun Chul and Sun Mi

Sun Mi (tense she feel like she about to loose her voice)

Hyun Chul (Hyun Chul becomes aware of Sun Mi’s a figure stiffening he tries to take good care of Sun Mi so, she can relieve her tensions. Hyun Chul tries to show a more intrepid composureHe furtievely brings English type humor into the conversation.
That humor at once causes everyone in attendance to laugh also making Sun Mi comfortable as a result of this extraordinary effect.everyone in attendance watches over them with great interest.

Sun Mi (turns toward Hyun Chul and transmits a grateful smile. She nods her headand indicates that she is prepared for her presentation)

Finally, the fantasy teamwork approaches a moment of brightness.. every one in attendance looks toward Hyun Chul and Sun Mi. Hyun Chul and Sun Mi try to respond with piercing eyes toward the attendees breathing in everybody’s attentionthey didn’t give anyone the chance to be distractedno chance to flip flopeveryone was mesmerizedHyun Chul and Sun Mi encourage each otherclose to the end of the presentation, they felt that the disaster in Jah-Juh-Doh could be erased by the excellent teamwork they exhibited they didn’t waste their hard workHyun Chul and Sun Mi look at each other and remember their importance to each other
After finishing through their presentationcalm through to the endSun Mi and Hyun Chul blush as the attendees clap their handsHyun Chul and Sun Mi look for each others hand and turn their eyes to the adjust fit. to the best of their ability they smile

THE HALLWAY

Hyun Chul walks in front of Sun Mialthough they should be full of excitementthey are unexpectedly gloomy faced

They dashed toward somethingnow that they accomplished their taskthey become deflatedhowever, for them they have another special reason for how they look
Sooneverything will be brought to an endthey have no reason to spend more time togetherthis was the last place for them to be together in one placenow they will expect to be separated from each other

Sun Mi (all of a sudden she quickly rises to tears. She leans against the wall.and starts to begin sobbing)

Hyun Chul (Hyun Chul can hear the low sound of Sun Mi’s sobbing. He turns around to look at Sun Mihe is surprised): Miss Jin Sun Mi!!

Sun Mi (she covers her face with both her handsshe tries hard to control herself but nothing was useful)

Hyun Chul (snatches away Sun Mi’s handsand takes Sun Mi toward the direction of an emergency hall)

Hyun Chul (Sun Mi looks like she can’t end her tearsHyun Chul continues to wipe away Sun Mi’s tear): don’t cry Miss Sun Mi.now I see, you must be cry baby

Sun Mi (Continues sobbing): I’m sorry Mr. Director I don’t know what is wrong with me I think the end is soon. It just makes me.

Hyun Chul (this is another lovely female appearance of Sun Mi. he wishes he can give a her deep kissbut Hyun Chul gently pulls nearer to Sun Mi’s face, then he firmly embrace to her): Actually, I feel the same

Sun Mi (fully soaks Hyun Chul’s a dress shirt): we did good, right Mr. Director. It is really. We did wellright

Hyun Chul: Yes of course. Didn’t you see those people’s facial expression.. they were totally excited...even if. We aren’t selected for the partnership.. I don’t have any regrets. We did the best we could. And that is good enough for me..also spending that time together with Miss Jin Sun Mi. for those hours already made me plenty happy So there for don’t cry anymore.

Sun Mi: Yes I know but..(she continues sobbing)

Hyun Chul: Also we haven’t finished yet

Sun Mi (remain unchangedtears run down her facethen she comes out of Hyun Chul’s embrace): huh????

Hyun Chul: Don’t you know. This evening there is a party sponsored by the BBC president.It is just as important as the presentation.. appearance at the formal private occasion is very important for gaining points.

Sun Mi (look like she becomes very tense. She swallows)

Hyun Chul: I was going to be quiet and take advantage of Miss Jin Sun MiI was planning on showing off your beauty .. but you cry like this making yours eyes swell like that.how can I show everyone to Miss Sun Mi big and lovely eyes.

Sun Mi (with all her strength, wipes away her tears. Then she stops sobbing)

Hyun Chul (Sun Mi’s appearance make Hyun Chul automatically laugh): Now you promise me you are not going to cry!!

Sun Mi: Yes!! I won’t

Hyun Chul (he tries to wipe off Sun Mi’s remaining tears.. then gently touches Sun Mi’s cheek..his eyes look fretful.slowly he moves his hand down to take hold of Sun Mi’s hand. Then with purpose for the next day’s schedule . Hyun Chul, with all his strength, walks out with Sun Mi)

A HOTEL (inside Sun Mi’s room)

Sun Mi just finishes a shower, she puts on her make-up and takes care of her hair with devotion

But to attend the party she needs to wear a one piece dress.she thought about moviesordinarily, western style parties require formal dress appearancebut all of Sun Mi’s clothes are only tight suits to wear to the presentation and loose baggy regular clothes. She just doesn’t have anything suitable to wearSun Mi starts to worry, not knowing what to do

(at that time, the sound of a doorbell ring)

Sun Mi (Sun Mi opens the door widely. Hyun Chul stands in the doorway with a big box in his hand): Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Miss Sun Mi before we came on this business trip to England.. do you remember. We stoppes by at Je Yun’s dress shop. This is Je Yun’s piece of work also I give it as a present too . To show my appreciation for Miss Sun Mi for all your help to me

Sun Mi (impressed by Hyun Chul. Her eyes begin to tremble a little): thank you very much Mr. Director ... actually, I was in the middle of panicking about what I was going to wear to the party

Hyun Chul: You don’t have to thank meI’m actually helping myself too. After you are done preparing for the party, do you mind coming to my room please.

Sun Mi: Yes, I will..

Sun Mi walks into the inside of her room holding the box in her hands. She tries to carefully unwrap itthere inside the box is a delicious looking pink color dresstoo precious to touch.

Sun Mi looks like she is dreaming. She makes a blissful smile.
She puts the dress on. It feels soft and tender and crisp to the close touch of her finger tip the dress in entirely in the interests of Sun Mi. as if she herself had it made have only one dress in the whole world.

Sun Mi awkwardly looks directly up and down her body. Then she looks at the mirror of it’s own accord unfamiliar with her figure she looks firmly into the mirror then she at once makes a bashful smile.

HYUN CHUL ROOM

In his own way. Hyun Chul tries to imagine Sun Mi’s figure . He makes a quiet smile on his face. Hyun Chul gazes outside his window .. finally, his door bell rings.

Hyun Chul carefully opens the door with a trembling heart. He captivatingly glances at Sun Mi’s dazzling beauty bashfully Sun Mi’s lightly lowers her headwhile standing in front of Hyun Chul

Like a flutter the pick evening dress was fastened around Sun Mi’s slender bodythe lower part of the waist was attached lace that looked like at moment to fly away in the windSun Mi had a fragrant that was faintly

Already intense the expression of Hyun Chul eyes become unordinary Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi piercingly he doesn’t want to show Sun Mi to anybody. Only Hyun Chul, himself wants to entertain Sun Mi figure

Stand as it is. Sun Mi quietly glances at Hyun Chul Sun Mi meets Hyun Chul’s heated eyes

Hyun Chul (he grips Sun Mi by the wrist and leads her inside. Then he lets Sun Mi stand in the middle of the room)

After a moment . Hyun Chul carries a small case in his hand. Opens the lid. Inside the case is a clear, bright emerald necklace. He takes pride in the magnificent item)

Hyun Chul (he doesn’t hesitate as he walks nearer to Sun Mi’s back)

Sun Mi: Mr. Director..

Hyun Chul (puts the full of his heart into the necklace. To his most important person. He puts the necklace around Sun Mi’s precious neck)

Sun Mi (aware of Hyun Chul’s hands. Her heart begins to tremble): Mr. DirectorI am.

Hyun Chul: Please accept this as my gift. It is a gift from my heart. Miss Jin Sun Mi, this evening accompany me as isjust as I’m doing

(Their eyes look toward the mirror they are entangled with each other)

Hyun Chul (looks at the mirror at her appearance. Hyun Chul once again with his heart places his arms respectfully around Sun Mi’s waist to escort her out of his room)

 

 

A MANSION (A RESIDENCE)

Located just outside London…is Mr. Taylor’s large mansion (the BBC president)… they arrive at the designation gate of the mansion…there is an endless spread of grassy fields and a luxuriant thick forest… they already have something to talk about- the mansion’s scale.

In old times…they obviously had to ride horses here and there…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi arrive to the mansion sitting side-by-side in the car…the ancient mansion captures every one’s eyes…but Hyun Chul and Sun Mi have already slipped into each others heart…it is like they don’t have any room to enjoy the view of the mansion…

Broadcasting teams from both countries of Korea and Japan have participated in presentatinons…so the BBC sponsor insisted on preparing not a small party for the east and west broadcasting teams to casually meet…

Everyone attends the party…they act like they have completely forgotten the intense competition that took place during the daytime presentations…everybody outwardly looks comfortable and sufficient…they talk cheerfully with each other about the world cup and broadcasting, a familiar subject…the atmosphere becomes mellow and peaceful…

Hyun Chul: (this evening… Hyun Chul has no interest in anything besides Sun Mi…but he can’t avoid the formalities…so he shares a few greetings with people…but his eyes remain unchanged….remain only on Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi is continually aware of Hyun Chul’s unordinary gaze…but the last contest is not yet completed…she forms her unique smile…as she greet the remaining people)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to concentrate his attention on the wineglass…he watches Sun Mi’s enthusiasm as she converses with someone…Hyun Chul walks close to Sun Mi)… Miss Jin Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (following conversing with someone…she turns around to look at Hyun Chul) Yes, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Don’t you think this place is very suffocating…Lets go outside for a little air (he takes Sun Mi by the hand and then walks with long steps outside)

A BALCONY

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul leans against one side of the hand railing…he tries to concentrate his attentions on the wineglass…but his eyes remain unchanged toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (avoids Hyun Chul’s appearance…she takes a place at the end of the balcony… like appreciating art…she enjoys the nature of the evening)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul glances at Sun Mi and his eyes become more hot…Sun Mi doesn’t even look at Hyun Chul one time)

Sun Mi: (from Hyun Chul’s glance…she feels like one side of her cheek is heated up like fire…Sun Mi tries to escape from this awkward atmosphere) This place….I think it is really beautiful…

Hyun Chul: (tries emptying his wineglass) …in my eyes…I don’t particularly think it looks beautiful

Sun Mi: (stops abruptly for a moment) …look at it more carefully Mr. Director…at how so beautiful this place is

Hyun Chul: At the present time, standing in front of me… Miss Jin Sun Mi, if I may say, is more beautiful than anything else…(he empties his wineglass… and puts it down on the hand railing)

Sun Mi: (her face become a light red color…Sun Mi becomes consciously aware of Hyun Chul standing close by her…it is like she can’t escape from Hyun Chul…she tries to re- enter the ballroom…but)

Hyun Chul: (before Sun Mi knows Hyun Chul crosses back up to the front of Sun Mi…then Hyun Chul stays gazing at her with his eyes…he places his hand along Sun Mi)

(Suddenly, Mr. Taylor’s greeting words are transmitted over a microphone…the words are just starting to reach Hyun Chul’s and Sun Mi’s ear)

Sun Mi: (she become unable to do this or that) It is Mr. Taylor…I think he is trying to greet everyone…don’t you think we should be getting back inside Mr. Director?

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul brings his lips toward Sun Mi…but then, he takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand tightly and turns to go back into the ballroom)

During Mr. Taylor’s greetings…Hyun Chul continues to hold Sun Mi’s hand tightly… Sun Mi tries to quietly withdraw her hand away from Hyun Chul…but Hyun Chul won’t let go of Sun Mi’s hand…Sun Mi thought…that this evening, Hyun Chul’s appearance was very unfamiliar…what is the significance that she has to keep in her mind…Sun Mi was very confused…anyway, soon Sun Mi tries to give up her thought…and places her hand in Hyun Chul’s hand as it stood before.

Jun Ho: (arrives at this place…Jun Ho carefully examines Hyun Chul and Sun Mi…he wonders about them…something in the atmosphere was not ordinary…he looks like he is already ready…then he makes a slightly fishy smile…he goes near Hyun Chul and Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi sees Jun Ho’s eyes glancing at them…she tries to pull out her hand immediately from Hyun Chul…but Hyun Chul won’t even let go one inch)

Jun Ho: (Jun Ho’s eyes once more look toward Hyun Chul and Sun Mi holding each others hand) You didn’t come here to work on a business trip…you must have come here to fool around?

Hyun Chul: (remains unchanged in the way he holds onto Sun Mi’s hand…he makes his his facial expression hard and secure) What! Before I loose my temper…get away from me.

Jun Ho: I never knew Yun Hyun Chul had such talent of this kind…carry out business as business…have pleasure as pleasure (he glances wickedly at Sun Mi…as he looks at her from top to bottom)

Hyun Chul: (he steps forward from Sun Mi…he then hits Jun Ho’s chest one time with a light poke) This is the first warning I’m going to give you!! Stop there and go away! If I have to warn you again…I don’t know what kind of action I’m going to take.

Jun Ho: (he thought Hyun Chul could not possibly have any chance to make any action in this place…so…he continued) show me a piece of your technique…I have to select a pretty employee like her…in any way…

Hyun Chul: this is second time I am warning you!!

Jun Ho: surely not…you’re surely not going to bring a different woman every time you come on a business trip…Are you?

Hyun Chul: (makes a profound meaning smile) this is the third time I’m warning you!! (he gets near Jun Ho and whispers to him) you are very much asking for a whipping.

Jun Ho: (he glances his eyes towards Hyun Chul with suspicion)

Hyun Chul: (he takes Sun Mi and leads her away toward a corner) I’m sorry…he was being incomprehensible

Sun Mi: I don’t mind…I’m fine

Hyun Chul: I’m not!! I mind very much…Now please listen carefully at what I’m going to say…After I finish my conversation with Mr. Taylor …I’m going to get near Jun Ho (Hyun Chul points his finger toward a light switch) you see that light switch…turn it off for exactly 5 seconds…exactly 5 seconds…

Sun Mi: (her eyes become round) huh?????

Hyun Chul: (he softly winks at Sun Mi) you can do that, right? I trust you Miss Sun Mi…(he turns toward to go talk to Mr. Taylor)

Sun Mi: (she doesn’t know what the circumstances are…But she firmly stands next to the light switch…she looks steadily at Hyun Chul’s actions)

Hyun Chul: (solicits a hand shake from Mr. Taylor) thank you very much for inviting me, as well as my partner, to this wonderful place (inform Sun Mi)

Mr. Taylor: (with a gentle smile and gaze at Sun Mi) She is really a splendid beautiful woman….right..

Hyun Chul: (he feels very delighted…and makes a soft smile)

Mr. Taylor: I was very much impressed by the presentation the two of you showed today… I will remember your presentation for a long time

Hyun Chul: I really appreciate that.

Mr. Taylor: In my view…you two match very well together…is your relationship with really just as co-workers… if so…I recommend that you seriously re-think your relationship.

Hyun Chul: You have very good eyes…actually, this evening I thought of confessing my heart to her.

Mr. Taylor: (his face lights up with a full smile) good luck…Mr. Yun

Hyun Chul: Thank you…by the way…not too long ago…someone behaved ungentlemanly toward my beautiful partner…so I will try to teach him a stiff lesson…please don’t be too surprised…if for a short while there is a small disturbance

Mr. Taylor: (he acts a little confused by the meaning of these words)

After Hyun Chul finishes his short greeting with Mr. Taylor…he walks up close to Jun Ho…then , from the corner of his eyes he makes a signal toward Sun Mi.

All of a sudden there is complete darkness…people start to be noisy inside the hall…one side the noise of punches and someone saying “Ooooooo” have reached people’s ears

Precisely after 5 seconds…the light come back on inside the room…all people generally accepted the thought that it was just a blackout … but

Jun Ho: (with a fierce look…he collapses to the floor…he look absentminded)

Hyun Chul: I warned you…you put this upon yourself (he steps backward toward Sun Mi)

Jun Ho: (firmly annoyed…he can not forget his current shame Yun Hyun Chun!!!! You better stop right there…

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi stands with a stunned expression…Hyun Chul snatches Sun Mi’s hand, they begin to run to the outside…..)

Mr. Taylor: (only then did Mr. Taylor understand the situation) Mr. Yun …no matter what the circumstances…I’m never going to forget you…hahahaha…(Mr. Taylor’s laughing filled the entire ballroom)

Jun Ho: (gets up from the floor with an angry look… call out to the party for help…he leaves the ballroom to try and catch Hyun Chul)

OUTSIDE THE MANSION

They pass by a long corrider…they go out the front door….
Far away grows the luxuriant forest…the extensive field waits for them….
Without a plan Hyun Chul grips Sun Mi’s hand and they begin to run….
Hyun Chul took no account of Jun Ho…he was not going to easily stop aside
If Hyun Chul was by himself…he can easily face Jun Ho…but together with Sun Mi… Hyun Chul was thinking the best way to avoid him

Doesn’t matter what the reason…running across the field through the refreshing air together with Sun Mi…makes Hyun Chul feel like he could fly into the sky

Sun Mi: (she doesn’t know the reason for this run) Mr. Director!!! For what reason do we have to run like this?

Hyun Chul: We are trying to run away from somebody

Sun Mi: huh????

Hyun Chul: I taught Jun Ho a little lesson… I’m sure he is trying to chase us so that he can take revenge on me.

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi just laughs) just a moment!!!! Mr. Director just a moment!!!! (stops running)

Hyun Chul: (he also stops) What? Are you going to scold me???? Fine…but not now…as much as you like scolding me, I’m going to have to ask that you not do it just now…we don’t have a time…(he continues to look back behind them)

Sun Mi: No, I’m not going scold you… I think you did perfectly right! That kind of person deserved to taste clenched fists…that is way the only way they can learn a lesson (she removes her high hill shoes and holds them in her hand)… now I can run easier

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s actions and words make Hyun Chul go blank for a little while…but soon his expression turns to a happy smile…he then takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand…and starts to run again)

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi run this way and that way…then looks, as Jun Ho leaves the party to chase after Hyun Chul and Sun Mi…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi side by side lean against each other under the bottom of large tree…they find it unbearable to breath)

Hyun Chul: hu~h~~~~~(deeply exhales) I’m sorry Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (she finds it too unbearable to breath…she is unable to talk)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi and her condition…he starts to have a regrettable feeling) I make things very difficult for you?????

Sun Mi: (she holds her head down for a long time trying to breath…then she picks up her breath) huh…. no….i’m …. I’m fine now

Hyun Chul: (suddenly…his eyes look toward Sun Mi’s bare feet) are your feet alright? (he tries to bend down….to look at Sun Mi’s feet)

Sun Mi: (embarrassed, she tries to step backward) I’m all right…there is nothing wrong with me.

Hyun Chul: let me look at your feet…(again he tries to touch Sun Mi’s feet)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi grasps Hyun Chul’s hands to block him) really…I’m alright, Mr. Director…

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul holds onto Sun Mi’s hand tightly…as they stand up together Hyun Chul gazes into Sun Mi’s eyes)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi acts unnatural…and tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes)

Hyun Chul: (he silently gets near Sun Mi…gently he passes his hand over one side of her cheek)

Sun Mi: (she shrinks from Hyun chul’s touch…Slowly she turns her head around…looking at Hyun Chul…All through the night…the expression of Hyun Chul’s eyes makes her lose her composure…it intensely and deeply goes to Sun Mi’s heart…she begins to tremble and her heart feels like it is about to stop)

Hyun Chul: (he acts like he can’t wait any longer…Sun Mi beauty has completely taken his whole heart away…he moves his lips slowly toward Sun Mi’s pink lips)
They gently touch each other with their eyes…she begins to tremble more…he is impressed by the little sweet taste…softly they separate their lips and faintly sighs with admiration…again he moves gently toward Sun Mi, like a dream…and softly lays his lip upon Sun Mi

Sun Mi drops her high hill shoes that she was holding in her hands…she stands on her toes to lift herself up…grips Hyun Chul’s collar…she responds little by little, deeper in order to meet his lips

A moment later, they feel a storm as they tremble with fear…they stand face to face

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi looks bashfull, as she drops her head down…Hyun Chul tries to gently hold Sun Mi’s head) Jin Sin Mi…

Sun Mi: (like yesterday…Hyun Chul’s behavior now may be due to the atmosphere at the moment…but she doesn’t care…for herself, her heart is true…that is good enough for her feelings)

Hyun Chul: Well, now I don’t want to hide my feeling anymore

Sun Mi:……………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: Look at me…don’t try to avoid my eyes

Sun Mi: (before she knows she begins to tremble and her eyes become wet with expression …she looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (holds Sun Mi’s face in both of his hands tightly) I’m~~~~~~~
(Suddenly they are quickly caught!!!!!!!!!!)

(an uninvited guest has crushed everything in the atmosphere…Jun Ho’s party has dashed toward them without plan)

(A sudden attack…Sun Mi and Hyun chul…look at each other absentmindedly…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi quickly turn toward each other and signal with their eyes…Once again they take hold of each others hand and begin to run)

Hyun Chul: (Jun Ho has taken the a best chance away from Hyun Chul…he has no enemy specifically like this …but he spins himself around to say one single word in his heart…now, I must not make any regrets…I have to do this…now) Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (running in a hurry…She acts like she is unable to hear Hyun Chul’s call…she doesn’t answer him not at all)

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (surprised by Hyun Chul’s call…she turns around and looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: ……….I……….. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do love you very much!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (loses the strength in her legs…she feels like her whole body is frozen…she brings herself to a stop in one place)

Hyun Chul: (runs several steps…he turns around toward Sun Mi)…I love you!!!!

Sun Mi: (before she knows it, she begins to cry)

Hyun Chul: (takes Sun Mi’s face between his hands…completely different from a little earlier…this time he extremely puts forth his strength…to hold Sun Mi and press his lips against hers)

(coming close after Hyun Chul and Sun Mi…Jun Ho’s party stops abruptly for a moment…they awkwardly stop a ways away from Hyun Chul and Sun Mi…they watch over Hyun Chul and Sun Mi)

Forgetting that they were running away…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi continue to cry…Hyun Chul embraces Sun Mi tightly and pours kisses over Sun Mi…he acts like he is losing all power of reason…for a moment he is overflowing…it looks like at this moment in this world nothing exists but Sun Mi and him…he finishes the last deep strong kiss…he looks at Sun Mi.

Hyun Chul: …… I love you ….. I love you…….

Sun Mi: (she is full of tear that have made her face cloud over…her hands fumble as she tries to search for his face )…….. I love you too……

(at that moment, rain begins to drop like a blessing from God…
giving a reason to get rid of Jun Ho’s party…the unexpectant shower confuses Jun Ho’s party…they try to avoid the shower by running here and there……
The sky and spacious green field…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi stand in the middle of this view…they do not seem to be even aware of the pouring rain…they are only intoxicated with each other)

Hyun Chul: (he easily picks up Sun Mi, then spin arounds…inform to the sky and the earth)….. I love you Jin Sun Mi!!!!!! I love you
(his shouts go through the rain…very far away…it spreads far away)

Sun Mi: (holds her arms tightly around Hyun Chul’s neck…she is a mess from her tears and rain water…but at this moment her heart is overflowing)

They turn around several times…again Hyun Chul and Sun Mi stand across from each other…they are thoroughly soaked from head to toe…they smile happily toward each other….

The rain water has tangles Sun Mi’s hair…Hyun Chul tries to brush her hair aside with his hand….then he takes her waist in his arms tightly…he rushes forward and places his lips deep into Sun Mi lips

Every thing …is in favor of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi…..in this moment just the two of them exist…this is truly a fascinating night.

Under the pouring rain…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi still look at each other as their hearts fret for each other…… they act to confirm that this is all real and not a dream….. they convey all of their love…the past can’t interfere………they continue…..to embrace each other tightly and proceed to feel each others hearts.

 

 

LOVELY YOU: Chapter 13

 

 

HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

After the dream-like trip to England, they return to Seoul……Hyun Chul and Sun Mi suffer from extreme high fevers and have to stay in bed……this due to staying up all night for a month working hard for their presentation and spending the whole night exposing themselves to the rain……but, possibly……they are suffering from the anxiousness of declaring their of love……..and the feeling of being deflated after finally being able to declare their love……Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s love is eternal

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul chilliness hasn’t disappeared……he is bundled up in a thin blanket tied with rope……he opens his front door)

Sun Dahl: (comes inside the room……he looks Hyun Chul up and down, then directly at him……he feels Hyun Chul has just become unlucky) Hyun Chul!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (goes near his bed……again he collapses down) what do you want to speak to me about… …do mind if we talk about it next time……right now, I’m very hazy……everything is like a dream……I can’t really clarify anything (his face is smeared deep within a pillow)……leave the papers on top of my desk and then you can leave……if tonight or sometime later I feel better……I will look at them

Sun Dahl: ……… your……trip to……was not unsuccessful…… was it?

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………………………………

Sun Dahl: You and Miss Sun Mi too……were unsuccessful……that is right……that is why you two cover your head……and lie down like this

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………………………………

Sun Dahl: You cannot even make a little time to talk?????? (Sun Dahl’s expression looks pitiful) You are just like an idiot!!!!!! I was going to tell you so much……I was going to give you advice before you left for England

Hyun Chul: How is my Sun Mi doing now????

Sun Dahl: (My Sun Mi!!!!! suddenly his eyes become wide with surprise……he has a natural smile at the corner of his mouth)…. You!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (his eyes stay close……as his face beams with a smile )

Sun Dahl: (comes running to the bed……stubbornly……picks up Hyun Chul and makes him sit up) My Sun Mi!!!!! just now …… didn’t you just say “my Sun Mi”…… didn’t you??? You have succeedes!!!! Finally, you have succeeded!!!!

Hyun Chul: (nods his head once…then he tries to lay himself down again)

Sun Dahl: (very much impressed by all this …… he grips Hyun Chul’s face in both of his hands) congratulations Hyun Chul….… truly you did all right …… (Sun Dahl holds Hyun Chul in his arms and even looks like he has a tears in his eyes)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul appreciated all of Sun Dahl’s attention……he pats Sun Dahl’s back a couple of time……then he tries to lay himself down in bed)

Sun Dahl: (grips Hyun Chul’s shoulders…… and makes him lean against a wall)…… By the way…… when you two returned home from England…… why did you two have the same illiness from fatigue and cold…… now in England….. .the popular bed cold in prevalent……

Hyun Chul; (just feebly smile)

Sun Dahl: (opens his slender eyes)…… did you two do something????? Did you have an incident?????

Hyun Chul: (he sits on the bed……he falls over on his side …to lay himself on his bed)

Sun Dahl: (like he is about to attack Hyun Chul……he lays himself down on the bed next to Hyun Chul) Tell me!!!! How much a great confession did you do…… to make you two have this painful illness from fatigue and cold…… what did you do to Miss Sun Mi…… you didn’t do any wrong behavior….. did you….

Hyun Chul: (grins and then holds onto Sun Dahl’s arm) Sun Mi~~~~~~

Sun Dahl: Huh??????

Hyun Chul: (turns one of his leg around and places it on Sun Dahl) Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Dahl: You creep!!!!!! (he pushes Hyun Chul away…… and jumps to his feet) Gee…… I’m leaving…… all you’re doing is driving me crazy…… oh my gosh…. you have many sides……

Hyun Chul: Bye…. Be careful….

Sun Dahl: Oh my goodness…… how in a few days……have you changed your attitude like that……make sure you tell me happened in England….. .right

THE SECRETARY ROOM

Still Hyun Chul’s body does not completely feel refreshed…… but he has begin a business briefing and he has a lot of work waiting for him……besides in Hyun Chul’s head…… this is a place he can meet with Sun Mi……in the morning he blows up like a whistle……he is full of strength to attend his office……he takes in his feeling of restlessnes……and steps into the secretary room

Sun Mi: (gets up from her seat…… She doesn’t know how to face Hyun Chul……she makes an awkward smile)

Hyun Chul: (closely stands in front of Sun Mi’s desk……he has the appearance of a drill sergeant as he examines Sun Mi’s face)

Sun Mi: (quietly tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes)…… how are you Mr. Director?????

Hyun Chul: You didn’t miss me?????

Sun Mi: (her ears begin to turn deep red)…… go ahead to your office….. I will bring you a warm cup of tea.

Hyun Chul: (he grabs Sun Mi’s arm as she heads toward the breakroom……he stands close to her……and tries to touch her forehead and cheek)….. it still feels like you have a little temperature…..

Sun Mi: (gently pushes his hand away)…. I’m fine….. now….. really…. I’m fine

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tilts his head to the side……Sun Mi bashfully puts her eyes down…… Hyun Chul looks obviously very close to Sun Mi’s face)

Sun Mi: (becomes embarrassed……and tries to avoid Hyun Chul…… all of the sudden she meets Hyun Chul’s eyes…… she doesn’t know what to do)

Hyun Chul: (in these past few days he has missed her very much……he approaches Sun Mi’s pretty lips…… but……Sun Mi’s firmly shut eyes……make him just smile……he kisses her lightly on the cheek) Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!! Do me a favor……and bring me a cup of hot tea please….(then he enters his office)

Sun Mi: (thinking about his lips on her cheek…… she silently touches her cheek with her hand and smiles happily)

THE BREAK ROOM

Ju Hee: (her face is full with a smile……she grabs ahold of Sun Mi’s hand…… before Hyun Chul and Sun Mi traveled on official business ……she had spoken to Sun Dahl…… so she already knew all the facts about Hyun Chul and Sun Mi……but she makes Sun Mi believe …… that she doesn’t know about anything that is going on) Really……good for you Sun Mi……see……what did I tell you……it is Mr. Director ……he has the same feelings as you do

Sun Mi: (makes a faint smile)……Senior! I’m sorry for those days……and I want to thank you very much.

Ju Hee: (lightly scowls with her eyes) now you tell me……I think about those days ……do you know…… how much I worried sick about you

Sun Mi: (makes a lovely smile as to try and ask Ju Hee for forgiveness……then she becomes bashful…… she ends up just smiling)

Ju Hee: (together with Sun Mi, smiles)……by the way…… what is your decision about going abroad to study ……. Are you still going to do it?????

Sun Mi: …… actually ……about that…….

Ju Hee: …………………………………………

Sun Mi: Now, even if I want to go ……. I would be unable to go

Ju Hee: Why?? Did Mr. Director ask you not to leave???

Sun Mi: No, not yet…….with Mr. Director……. I haven’t even discussed the matter…… maybe his intention was not to bring up the matter

Ju Hee: Of course…… from his point of view that is the only thing he can do……he can’t stop you from leaving…… nevertheless…… he doesn’t have the self-confidence to say farewell to a petty woman like you…… so for that reason ….. maybe he will try to avoid it

Sun Mi: (she acts like she agrees…… and nods her head)

Ju Hee: Then…….for what reason have you changed your mind about going aboard to study???? Do you give it up of your own accord??

Sun Mi: Something like that……. actually …… the interview appointment and business trip were on the same day……Senior! Now you know what my choice was (that day flashes across Sun Mi’s mind……for moment……Sun Mi puts down her head)……now I’m disqualified…… I guess I have to stay at your side and not move at all…… Senior, you are not going to keep me away……because you think I am provoking you

Ju Hee: (becomes embarrassed…… she pulls Sun Mi away and holds onto her arms) I’m very proud of you Jin Sun Mi…… if it was me …… I don’t think I could do what you did….

Sun Mi: …. I don’t think so Senior…… I think for sure you would do the same as I did….

Ju Hee: …… really ….. those men are so lucky…… right…..

Sun Mi: Yes…..(makes a smile)….. for the time being….. Senior….. please keep this to yourself……for the Mr. Director…. I wish to tell him directly myself

A BAR

Sun Dahl: (continues to scowl his eyes at Hyun Chul) ……You are really going to act like this

Hyun Chul: (hazily smiles……and devotes himself to his glass)

Sun Dahl: I’m dying to know …… what an earth happened in England

Hyun Chul: Well~~~~~ how can I express everything……that happened during these days……it was really very exciting

Sun Dahl: (he becomes tense)

Hyun Chul: (he supports one hand on his chin……and makes a happy smile) we were impressed with each other that day …… Her heart in my heart…… My heart in her heart…

Sun Dahl: (his eyes become larger and larger)…. Surely not…. Maybe I can believe that you could be like that…… but not Miss Sun Mi…… she’s submissive and could comply with you…..

Hyun Chul: (Sun Dahl has imagined the wrong direction……Hyun Chul enjoys Sun Dahl’s appearance…… He continues) I get tired of the daily shift……. again and again hiding my feelings……don’t you think …… every one has a so called flame of passion

Sun Dahl: (become susceptible…… he quickly empties his glass) from now on, I’m going to take you as my senior…… (implicit)…… anyhow Hyun Chul…… what is your secret…… coach me on the way you did it ……alright?? will you??????

Hyun Chul: (acting serious) All I can say is that ……every object begins from the color of this eye (Hyun Chul intensely stares into Sun Dahl’s eyes) Now do you understand?

Sun Dahl: (he tries to look straight into Hyun Chul’s eyes…..he quickly nods his head)

Hyun Chul: (he hits Sun Dahl’s shoulders with both of his) Kim Sun Dahl!! Team leader!!!…… wake up!!!!!

Sun Dahl: ??????????

Hyun Chul: (holds his drink glass in his hand)…… everyday you just think this kind of insidious thing…… make even other people think it…… you think and look as if that is the way

Sun Dahl: (he acts like he still doesn’t understand the circumstances)

Hyun Chul: (acts playfully……lightly glancing sideways at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: ????…… You!!!……. You!!!!!! (with a regrettable expression)

Hyun Chul: (makes an expression like “I got you”……he brings his drinking glass close to his mouth)

Sun Dahl: Of course…… You are not that particular!!!!!!…… I’m a fool……to believe ……that lesson you just said

Hyun Chul: Now you get it …… I guess that will do…… now have a drink

(several times the drinks come and go to……Hyun Chul becomes intoxicated……he takes a cigarette to his mouth……he makes an expression of a little loneliness…… then he blows smoke out from his mouth)

Sun Dahl: (becomes aware of Hyun Chul’s atmosphere) Do you have a any suggestions about Miss Sun Mi……..are you going to let her go study abroad

Hyun Chul: …….. probably ….. I think I have to

Sun Dahl: Hyun Chul……

Hyun Chul: I feel like from the bottom of my heart there are two kinds of fight…… on one side…… trying to act wonderful and send her away …… I try to tell myself …… I can wait for couple of years……..( he faintly smiles)…… but on the other side…..I tell myself “Yun Hyun Chul don’t act like your so cool…… Don’t let her leave and hold on to her” ……such as this….

Sun Dahl: (makes a long deep sigh)

Hyun Chul: …….. but if she really wants to study abroad……then positively I’m not going to stop her from leaving…… (but …… already Hyun Chul’s eyes become slightly wet)

Sun Dahl: Wait a minute……now…… what is your expression…… in moment you are going to start cry…… aren’t you….. yet you tell me ……that you think ……you are not going to hold on to her????

Hyun Chul: (rubs his forehead……..and shuts his eyes tightly)

Sun Dahl: You better hold on to her…… without Miss Sun Mi at your side …… you would be unable to do anything…… also …….does her study have to be aboard……. She could study here somewhere……of course…….you have to help her……..

Hyun Chul:………………………………………………………………..

Sun Dahl: And that, Miss Sun Mi’s support makes ……you become prudent and pass over hard times……. you come this far……without Miss Sun Mi…… who is going to help you and take her place……Me?????? No way…… there is no one…… there is only Miss Sun Mi…… for that reason…… Don’t exercise your useless pride and just grab onto her in a flash……right

THE FRONT OF SUN MI’S HOUSE

Hyun Chul makes efforts to make his facial expression cheerful……bright light pours out from Sun Mi’s room……Hyun Chul looks toward Sun Mi’s room……but soon Hyun Chul exhales a long sigh……. His body is loose because of the intoxication…… he leans against the surface of a wall

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi…….. I miss you!!!!!! All day long I see you at work……still, even now being separated from you for just a little while…… I miss you this much …… if I let you leave…… how can I lead a life ………….leave it as is………………………
Sun Mi you told me before…… that I look like a kind person……I have no other sympathy…… my standards were like an old relic…… you were right…… I’m that person, I’m very selfish and I’m very troublesome…… I thought before that I would never love someone…… because I love myself very much before…… but now
(he slides down the wall……Hyun Chul sits on the pavement)………………………for you …… nothing is more precious than you…… lead me through your heart and eyes…… show me again how to look through my heart and how to look at the world…… Sun Mi!!!!!! Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!…………….we were sure to meet……maybe a little later than now……after you finished what ever you should like to study…….when we meet at that time then we should be pleased with everything …… I miss you…. .Jin Sun Mi

THE DIRECTOR ROOM

Sun Mi: (as she puts down a cup of tea on Hyun Chul’s desk……. Sun Mi takes a good look at Hyun Chul’s face)

Hyun Chul: (he drank until late into the night and wandered about in front of Sun Mi’s House……his appearance looks worn out)

Sun Mi: ….. Mr. Director did you drink a lot of liquor last light??

Hyun Chul: (he gazes at Sun Mi’s gentle eyes…… then he nods his head)

Sun Mi: (feeling distressed) Why don’t you think about your health…….there is the good in liquor to make you drink that much……..

Hyun Chul: I feel good……. Jin Sun Mi try not to worry about me……

Sun Mi: (looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (he gets up from his chair……then he sticks out both of his hands out toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi:………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: For your hands…… I mean for you to place your hands in mine

Sun Mi: (makes a smile….. softly, she places both of her hands in Hyun Chul’s hands)

Hyun Chul: (takes hold of her tightly)…… from now on…… I won’t even try to tell you…… if I stick out my hands like this …… you come and take hold of my hands…… alright…….

Sun Mi: Yes…… also, sometimes……I may try to stick my hands out first for you

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi with his deep eyes…… that becomes wet and feeble looking)

Sun Mi:………Mr. Director is something that matter with you????

Hyun Chul:……… no …… nothing is the matter with me

Sun Mi: …………………………………….

Hyun Chul: (he leaves Sun Mi’s hands as is……he gets near Sun Mi……he holds Sun Mi’s waist in his arms tightly) A~~~ha~~~ this is nice…… is there anybody as happy as I am……in this world ……does anybody have……what I have at work….. if I want, I can take hold of you in my arms like this…….and (gently he runs against Sun Mi’s lips)……we can kiss like this……

Sun Mi: (her face becomes bright red …… she puts her head down)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul gently lifts up Sun Mi’s chin…… touches his hand over Sun Mi’s lips…… then takes his hand to Sun Mi’s cheek)

Sun Mi: (a quiet rise of emotions begin to move in her)….. Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: How long are you going to call me Mr. Director?

Sun Mi:…..well ….. then what should I call you……

Hyun Chul: (act like playfully…… taps at Sun Mi’s nose……leaving a lasting aftertaste….. sweeps Sun Mi’s cheek……and holds Sun Mi tightly in his arms)…… well let me think…… what do you feel like calling me…….

Sun Mi: (she pays attention to the direction of the door)…… what are you going to do if someone comes to the door

Hyun Chul: Do you think I care? …….if someone comes to the door, I won’t care

Sun Mi: (makes herself comfortable and leans against Hyun Chul’s chest)…… really, you won’t have any problems………. If you have any problem….. please tell me…. let me know……. right…..Hyun~~~~~~Chul

Hyun Chul: (he silenty spreads a smile on his face…… then puts forth more strength to hold Sun Mi in his arms)…. I will…. I’m going to tell you everything……. whatever matter I have….

THE GROUND DINING ROOM

Young Mi: (she pouts her lips……and looks at Sun Mi) Did you have a nice business trip?

Sun Mi: Yes…..

Young Mi: I heard that you and Mr. Director are the only two that went on this business trip…… it is strange…….that in the department of planning ……there aren’t enough qualified people to handle this matter

Sun Mi: ………….

Ju Hee: Heo Young Mi…… what are you really trying to say to us …….they had their reason to go……why do you care……so much about who went on this business trip……

Young Mi: Well, I’m not……I don’t care …….but in the broadcasting station …….people are talking here and there, spreading rumors to much…….so I was just trying to offer some information……there are some people ‘s eyes that do not look ordinary and look over every where……. That is why ……. I am just giving you advice …….you better be careful

Ju Hee: What do you mean people are talking a lot about them??????

Young Mi: hmph…..hmph (acts like “what ever”) What I mean is that…….Mr. Director and Miss Jin Sun Mi are too close to each other…… that kind Miss Jin Sun Mi…..is why it was necessary for Mr. Director to go on the company business trip with Miss Jin Sun Mi….. also, they talk about how he turned down every other party that wanted to go on this business trip…… only just the two of them went to England!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (she sit like she has a heavy stomach…….she covers her mouth with one hand……and lightly hits her chest with the other hand)

Young Mi: A current rumor about Mr. Director and Miss Sun Mi……those people are saying that there is something serious going on between you two……those rumors are spreading everywhere……

Ju Hee: So what…… people like to talk gossip…… (she stares at Young Mi) anyhow……Heo Young Mi!!!!!!!! Why do you look so suspicious……maybe you are helping to spread the gossip more…….are you……

Young Mi: (suddenly jumps up) No Senior, I am not…….. anyhow… when you look at Mr. Director and Miss Sun Mi…….can they really match together?……. when I think of Mr. Director, he doesn’t need anything ……. what could he want, when he has everything

Sun Mi: (for a moment her face becomes solid…… but ….she makse a light smile)

Ju Hee: (becomes s little excited)…… What do you mean those two people, Mr. Director and Miss Sun Mi, don’t match?……. Right now what did you just say….. Do you know you are acting rudely toward Sun Mi????

Sun Mi: Please calm down Senior….. I’m fine……it doesn’t bother me……

Ju Hee: You just sit still……Heo Young Mi……right now you are acting like you are doing Sun Mi a favor……but you are really trying to put her down……..indeed……… I definitely need to understand something……..why are you acting like this? …..how jealous of Sun Mi are you, that you would act like this?

Young Mi: (makes a crying face) No Senior….. I’m not doing that…

Ju Hee: Heo Young Mi….. I’ll give you a piece of advice……it is from ancient times, people don’t know an inch of what is going to happen in a person’s future (she makes a smile)…… As well as yet, we don’t know…… maybe the topic of people’s gossip will become true……

Young Mi: ( she has received gossip from people….. she has a bad and uneasy feeling …… now she listens to Ju Hee’s words…..she begins to feel more uneasy …..she thought it was unnecessary to bring up the gossip to them……it makes her look worse then before)

 

THE SECRETARY’S OFFICE

The situation that happened earlier to lunch time……comes across Sun Mi’s mind and her face becomes bitter……
Probably Young Mi unintentionally just spit out the words……but it just will not go away, in Sun Mi’s heart and mind she can’t only smile to ignore it as if nothing happened ……
Also……Sun Mi already feels that it can’t be dealt easily with ……many peoples’ jealous arrows were aimed toward her ……

But……there is nothing more important then their precious love……She doesn’t want a third party to control their love because they have nothing to do with their love.

For the sake of Hyun Chul and herself……Sun Mi makes sure of herself and commands herself to protect their love from the thumbs of harmful people……
She tries to put a bright smile on her face……she then arranges the documents on the top of her desk……and she tries to settle her eyes toward her computer.

(Suddenly……the door flies open and a man enters Sun Mi’s office)

Jun Ho: (he enters Sun Mi’s office with a swagger…….he looks through the office)

Sun Mi: (gets up from her seat and tries to gaze steadily at Jun Ho’s behavior……. So far, she doesn’t recognize Jun Ho)

Jun Ho: (his expressions seems to be making sarcastic remarks……his eyes look here and there……then he discovers Sun Mi standing at the opposite side of the room……for an instant he hesitates……then he acts like he has caught something fun to handle…… he has an evil smile on his face )

Sun Mi: (a moment later, Sun Mi recognizes Jun Ho……her eyes shrink back and she lightly drops her head down)

Jun Ho: the secretary here……doesn’t know how to greet a visitor

Sun Mi: (she becomes resistant ……she tries to make her head slightly nod)

Jun Ho: Surely not……You don’t recognize me? ……This can be called “Fate”, then I can say this is fate…… don’t you think you can at least pretend like you know me

Sun Mi: (she tries to avoid Jun Ho’s eyes)

Jun Ho: I didn’t know you happened to be Yun Hyun Chul’s secretary…….Oh boy!! He goes on a company business trip accompanied by his own private secretary……My goodness! I have to say, MBS must be crossing all sorts of lines……

Sun Mi: (stares straight at Jun Ho) You go too far with those word!!!

Jun Ho: Oh anyhow …… I almost forget to say……thank you for that day in England, you two showed us a very good scene……if the rain hadn’t come down……we would have had a good show to see how for you two would take that scene to the end

Sun Mi: (she begin to tears little by little……but ……she tries hard to be patient and bites her lip)

Jun Ho: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!! In front of me……he is always making his appearance so cool……I really didn’t know he had this kind of behavior……this means that before he is getting married, he is taking the opportunity to enjoy as much as he can……that is why he is fooling around with his own secretary…… oh boy…..

Sun Mi: Stop talking nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jun Ho: I have many witnesses……maybe I can try to catch the back of Yun Hyun Chul’s neck…… I can spread the scandal with his female secretary……this time he doesn’t have any choice but to crawl on his knees in front of me

Sun Mi: (with a thud, her heart tumbles down……and her legs begin to tremble)

(At that moment, the door opens with a cheerful sound……like a salvation……Hyun Chul enters the office)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s appearance makes Sun Mi tears quickly rise……but she tries hard to be patient……she turns her face away from Hyun Chul and Jun Ho)

Hyun Chul: (he looks a little surprised by Jun Ho’s appearance……he quickly pays attention to the Sun Mi’s face with concern…… Sun Mi’s appearance and the atmosphere make Hyun Chul immediately understand what is going on)

Jun Ho: (he knows what he is guilty about…… he tries to unnecessarily clear his throat a couple of times)

Hyun Chul: (he stares at Jun Ho for the dreadful face……and walks near Jun Ho) …….. Jung Jun Ho!!!!!!!!!

Jun Ho: (from Hyun Chul’s action, he becomes afraid and he shrinks back……but he tries hard to compose himself)…… I have come to visit you……. Because in London……. I have to say.……I received a lot more than I deserved

Hyun Chul: (he keeps close to Jun Ho……. He turns around to look at Sun Mi once…… then again he applies cold examining eyes toward Jun Ho) Lets get out of here……you say you have come for pay back……I will surely try my best to accept…… that must be the good manners

Jun Ho: (Hyun Chul’s unordinary atmosphere makes Jun Ho feel very much like he wants to run away out of that place) Ok!! What ever you wish!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: You get out first and wait for me!!!!!!

Jun Ho: (he leaves past Hyun Chul and brushes Hyun Chul’s shoulder…… then he disappears)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi turns her head around to avoid Hyun Chul……for a little while Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi without a word…… then he goes close to Sun Mi)…….. Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (she turns toward Hyun Chul…….. Her eyes are fully wet……and yet she tries hard to show Hyun Chul a smile) I’m fine……. Nothing happened to me.

Hyun Chul: (his heart becomes full of pain……he tries to put his hand on Sun Mi’s shoulder)…….. I will be back as soon as possible

Sun Mi: (she tries to grip Hyun Chul’s hand) Using clenched hands……is probably a temporary capacity solution…….. that solution is simply a one time thing……. Do you understand what I’m try to saying.

Hyun Chul: (he tries to make Sun Mi feel easy about the matter……he shows a smile at Sun Mi) Don’t worry…… I will take care of it……(he pulled Sun Mi’s hand gently past his lips……then he makes a wink at Sun Mi)

THE COMPANY ROOF

The city……there under the ash color light…… like a measure of height….. standing out above individually shaped skyscrapers……. Hyun Chul and Jun Ho stand side by side a little bit apart……they look out at the city……. Jun Ho takes a sidelong glance at Hyun Chul trying to pay attention to Hyun Chul’s intentions……. Hyun Chul is different from Jun Ho….. he just looks like he is trying to think….. his face become expressionless

Hyun Chul: (a heavy and clumsy sound breaks the silence)…… Did you come looking for me because you have a some business to talk about……. Don’t just look at my and sigh, if you want to say something just say it……I will listen to everything……

Jun Ho: (he hesitates a moment)……In London you insulted me and wounded my pride very much……. So I am going to try to payback what I have received

Hyun Chul: Insult???

Jun Ho: You pretty much made me look like a ridiculous person!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: There was a cause for the result……what ever happened in London …… that was of your own accord

Jun Ho: well, now you are in a delicate position ……you can’t snarl at me like that….

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………………..

Jun Ho: I……I know your secret……you are fooling around with your female secretary…… if I try to open my mouth……about what you did ……you know your hypocritical proud character will be turned upside down

Hyun Chul: (his face becomes grim and he looks threateningly……he tightly clenches his fist……but then he remembers what Sun Mi tried to tell him……he tries to make himself calm)……now……are you trying to threaten me…….(he lightly smiles)…… please do so!!!!!!!!…….please make noise to every village here and there if you want!!!!!! That is very much my wish…….

Jun Ho: ………………… (his expression looks like he wants to say “not like this”)

Hyun Chul: (he walks long steps toward Jun Ho)

Jun Ho: (he hesitates for a moment and steps back)

Hyun Chul: (he walk toward Jun Ho……and stands close in front of Jun Ho)………… Now, just as I feel……I want to strike you without any mercy……but even if I do…… that wouldn’t be a good enough satisfaction

Jun Ho: (he moves away from Hyun Chul……then he tries to take one more step back)

Hyun Chul: Don’t be afraid……. At least…… you walked voluntarily into my place….. I’m not going to act cowardly toward to you……..but!!!!!

Jun Ho: (he becomes firmly tense)

Hyun Chul: If your behavior is like today one more time……and you are impolite toward Miss Jin Sun Mi……it doesn’t matter where that place is ……I’m not going to let you go as like today

Jun Ho: …………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: (he turns to the side…… then again stare at a distant place)…… about Miss Jin Sun Mi…… she is the love of my life, I love her……. Don’t try to be disrespectful toward her anymore

Jun Ho: (he hesitates)

Hyun Chul: We maybe getting married soon……. (he looks at Jun Ho) now do you understand…….how much of a mistake you made toward Miss Jin Sun Mi

Jun Ho: (he acts like he is obviously loosing his composure)

Hyun Chul: Next time……If you have chance to meet with Miss Jin Sun Mi….. You better apologize and act polite to her…….for your wrong behavior today….. I will take your place and apologize to Miss Jin Sun Mi

Jun Ho: …………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: Also!!!!!!!!!!

Jun Ho: (he swallows his saliva)

Hyun Chul: (he makes a beaming smile)…….. let us try to reconcile for our past disagreements…….in this place lets throw away all those disagreements and hatreds

Jun Ho: ……………… what are you talking about?????

Hyun Chul: You and I……. we are mature enough to take positions to lead many people and also we have to take charge of heavy responsibilities….. Don’t you think it is about time to be precocious

Jun Ho: (he gaze steadily at Hyun Chul with distrustful eyes)

Hyun Chul: of course naturally……. You made yourself foolish enough to make those past mistake……. But don’t you think we can’t continue to make quarrels and strike each other every day

Jun Ho: What are you talking about …… when did we strike each other!!!!!!!! As long as I remember, only you did the striking

Hyun Chul: All right …… I admit that part and I apologize to you…… well then let us stop all this matter from now on…… if some time later…… maybe when you have to be in a place where you have to show your full appearance……you don’t want a strike by me again to crumple your style…..do you

Jun Ho: What!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: What I’m saying…… I was just trying to make a point……from now on, I’m going to try my best to show you some respect…… therefore you too……let go of some bad feelings you have about me……let us become fair and square……how about it??

Jun Ho: ahem~~~~hem (has a light cough)

Hyun Chul: For you……I think this suggestion won’t harm you……if you do the calculations, who will lose the most with this suggestion…… Don’t you think, I will be the one to lose the most……(Hyun Chul sticks out his hand to request Jun Ho for a handshake)

Jun Ho: (he acts like he still doesn’t quite get it ……he hesitates)

Hyun Chul: What’s wrong?? You don’t want to accept my suggestion…… then you wish to go back to how it was like before……

Jun Ho: No not that…… but when I think about those day and how I suffered from what you did to me…… If I finish like this ……my feeling are mortified!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (lightly smiles)……. Well then ……I will give you a chance so you can pay me back and once and for all get rid of your regrettable and mortifying feeling…… here…. you can punch me one time…..

Jun Ho: What???

Hyun Chul: I say…… you can punch me one time……. If doing this action can make you feel better…… then, I say punch me……. this is the first and last chance I will give you……. Come on …… hurry up…. (Hyun Chul takes one step closer to Jun Ho)

Jun Ho: (he hesitates and take a step back)

Hyun Chul: Why do you look so afraid ……. Come on….. (Hyun Chul stick out his face in front of Jun Ho…… and yet……just as before Jun Ho hesitates)…… if you don’t try an attack in 5 seconds…… I’m going to forget that I made the suggestion……

Jun Ho: (he acts like he is tense and trembling…… he bites his lip…… then he closes and opens his fist……open and close)

Hyun Chul: (he makes a composed smile)…… 5.. 4… 3… 2… ouch!!!!!!!!! (for a moment Hyun Chul lifts his chin as it feels like fire…… he stumbles back a little)

Jun Ho: (he looks like he has a rush of blood to his head…… His face turns crimson in the excitement…… and he acts like he can’t believe himself…… He looks at Hyun Chul’s face and his fist)

Hyun Chul: (his chin feels prickly……but he looks firm in his appearance……he makes his position straight)…… this punch makes us owe each other no more debts….we are completely even……right…… Well…… for the sake of our new fresh relationship…… (he sticks out his hand to Jun Ho)

Jun Ho: (he still feels not quite satisfied….. but he hold on to Hyun Chul’s hand)

Hyun Chul walk to the lobby……. He continues to touch his chin----- “Oh boy, his fist was quiet powerful”…… he makes a smile on his face…… then his feeling becomes eager and he rushes to Sun Mi…. so he can firmly hold her in his arms.

THE SECRETARY’S OFFICE

Sun Mi looks impatient …… she comes and goes to secretary room fumbling with her hands …… She trusts Hyun Chul…… But…… She thinks about the worst situation….. She looks quite restless.

(At that time, someone opens door……It was Hyun Chul coming into the secretary room)

Sun Mi: (her eyes look at Hyun Chul with anxiety…… she tries to look at Hyun Chul from top to bottom)

Hyun Chul: (with out a word he grips Sun Mi’s hand…… then he takes Sun Mi into his office)

THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (as soon as he gets into his office…… Without warning Hyun Chul runs against Sun Mi’s lips)

Sun Mi: (she softly pushes away Hyun Chul) Are you alright? There was ……nothing particular that happened to you?

Hyun Chul: (as a substitution for an answer…… He tries once again to search for Sun Mi’s lips)

Sun Mi: (she tries to get away from Hyun Chul) Are you alright……are you sure nothing happened to you…… Right?

Hyun Chul: (he smiles…… Then he embrace Sun Mi tightly)…… he told me to tell you ……that I am to make sure and take his place and apologize to you……from now on he is never going to do that kind of wrong behavior toward to you.

Sun Mi: I’m fine …… don’t worry about me…… I’m not that easily hurt when people talk about things without thinking …… I’m stronger than what I look

Hyun Chul: (in his mind flashes Sun Mi a little earlier with her eyes filled with tears)….. You are right…… of course…… you shouldn’t pay attention to such words, they are not worth hurting yourself……if I see you hurting ….. My heart becomes more painful then you

Sun Mi: (coming to tears from Hyun Chul’s word….. she tries to bury her face deeply into his chest….. after moment….. she take away her face quietly from Hyun Chul) with Mr. Jun Ho….. you are sure …..nothing happen to you ….. right …. Surely not again……there was…..

Hyun Chul: Again what?? Ah…. Don’t worry!!!! I don’t listen to the what anybody tells me to do……But I will listen to you Sun Mi……I will listen to your words very well….. Of course I did what you told me to do……

Sun Mi: (she sees that Hyun Chul’s clothes are clean……she thought that he seemed to be telling her the truth)

Hyun Chul: (releases Sun Mi from his arms and then gazes into Sun Mi’s eyes……he acts like he is proud of himself)…… Of course Jun Ho and I have made peace with each other ……for the sake of getting rid of all the problems and making peace with him……I have willingly sacrificed myself …..

Sun Mi: Huh????

Hyun Chul: Jun Ho…… he was always continually beaten by me……throughout his life, he must have piled up many angers at me …… so I gave him a chance to relieve his anger and all his regrettable feelings

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi tries to look like she is giving up talking about what Hyun Chul did….. she makes a silent smile)

Hyun Chul: Oh!! By the way…… his clench fist was quite powerful….. (He touches his chin)…… I feel like still quite pungent

Sun Mi: Let me look at you…… Do you have lots of pain? (She tries to pull down Hyun Chul ‘s hand from his chin……. Then looks at Hyun Chul with an anxious look)

Hyun Chul: (he becomes playful) Um…yes…it hurts a lot….it was very painful…..

Sun Mi: (she tries touching Hyun Chul’s chin to examine it…… she looks very distressed) Oh my goodness….. What is the matter with him…… you tell him to strike …… and he really tries to punch you……anyhow he could at least try a little lighter punch…….

Hyun Chul: (he barely could stop himself from laughing…… he exaggeratingly pretends to be in pain) Ouch~~~~ it becomes more painful as time goes on……

Sun Mi: What can I do for you …… How can I help to make you feel better……

Hyun Chul: I’m going tell you how you can make me feel butter…… Sun Mi……if you try and kiss me here…… then I’m sure I will feel like my pain is going to completely disappear……

Sun Mi: (only then her senses become aware of how she has been fooled by Hyun Chul…… She looks disapprovingly….. then she looks softly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)….. Mr. Director!!!! Really …… You can’t handle that pain……. Then I think you better be sure to leave your office early today and go to your condo to have a good rest and become well again!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he smiles softly and wraps his arms around Sun Mi’s waist)

Sun Mi: (tries to remove Hyun Chul’s arms)……Now……actually I’m on duty….. Don’t you think I should keep to the rules of my duty and get back to the work!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: All right …… all right……I get it Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!! but…… I’m not satisfied to just let you go…… so how about for the last (he deeply kisses Sun Mi’s forehead….. then he goes toward his desk)…… well now I’m satisfied…… I don’t mind if you go back to the your duties Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: (she stares at Hyun Chul’s appearance from the his backside….. then she makes a smile on her face…..she leaves Hyun Chul’s office)

The presentation……final result announcement day draws near……also, the day for Sun Mi to study abroad also comes close……already Sun Mi prepares herself for the kind of answer she must give Hyun Chul……. But so far Hyun Chul hasn’t mentioned any word or tried to hear from Sun Mi about that matter.

Sun Mi carries on together with Hyun Chul through every happy moment…….. So far Sun Mi is unable to see Hyun Chul’s sad and lonely facial expression pass his face from time to time.

Probably, that must be……he is troubles with two kinds of thoughts in his mind……he looks determined……whatever, he will be inclined toward one decision

THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Before everyone is aware the day becomes dark outside…….nightfall advances….. Hyun Chul stands staring out side the window……. Hyun Chul’d side figure looks impressive

Hyun Chul is impatient waiting for the result from England and because tonight he means to settle matters about Sun Mi….. Because of these matters, Hyun Chul looks very different from any other time

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi opens the door silently and enters Hyun Chul’s office…… then she looks at Hyun Chul’s appearance in an unbreathable way)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi appears in the window….. Hyun Chul looks with a hazy smile….. then he turns around toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: ….. I have confidence in you ……we will hear the sound of a lucky bell.

Hyun Chul: (he stick out his hand for the Sun Mi….. like asking for Sun Mi to hold his hand)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi directly walks near the front of Hyun Chul and tightly holds Hyun Chul’s hand)

Hyun Chul: (he looks firmly at Sun Mi and hold her hand)……. I think tonight you look a lot more strong looking than me……I feel like endlessly leaning against you

Sun Mi: (Softly lays her face on Hyun Chul’s chest) if you wish…. I don’t mind…. Go ahead if you want to lean against me………….

 

With a deep breath Hyun Chul tightly embraces Sun Mi…… then he thinks about tonight…. how fortunate for him not to have to stay alone by himself and to be together with Sun Mi……for him there is nothing more comfortable than Sun Mi trying to comfort him…… He embraces Sun Mi more tightly with the whole of his heart

Hyun Chul: I told you this saying before…… for society, being distinguished by a result is much more important than a process…… (he takes a deep breath)…… I think I’m going to take back what I said immediately….

Sun Mi: (she tries to smile)…… What you tried to tell me before……at that time…..I only agreed to about 50% of what you told me

Hyun Chul: Oh!! Well then ….. you already fore-saw ahead of time that such a day as this was coming

Sun Mi: No it is not like that…… but I just thought if there was a result without a cause then there can also be a result without a process…..in the present time, people try to control the future……and besides……sometimes when there is a result, people use it to balance their lives……but life is too complicated for that kind of simplicity

Hyun Chul: (takes Sun Mi away from his chest…… then he looks at Sun Mi with his profound eyes…… and gently sweeps down Sun Mi’s hair)…… You are shorter than I am……(Hyun Chul’s hand pass over her neck than toward her shoulder)….. you have narrow small shoulders….. (with his finger tip he softly touches Sun Mi’s lips than touches around Sun Mi’s lip line)…… how can you think like that

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul approaches close to Sun Mi’s lips….. her whole body feels like it is trembling……she firmly shuts her eyes)

(At that time, there is a noisy sound from the fax machine)

Each of their lips come to a stop from being very close……. They meet each others tense eyes…… like they always do…… Hyun Chul and Sun Mi naturally take hold of each others hand……. Now they command themselves to submit for the result…… they go toward the fax machine…

A letter has been transmitted from a foreign country…… it has just passed through the fax machine……. Hyun Chul and Sun Mi pick up one paper with lightly trembling hands….they can still feel that the paper is warm……

They stand close to each others body…..and Hyun Chul and Sun Mi go on reading down the faxed document…… little by little their eyes become large…… Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s finger tips tremble extremely……. Before they are aware Hyun Chul and Sun Mi eyes both become faint

At last a winner………..
They are connected and celebrate by themselves……they hold onto the document in their hands ….. Hyun Chul and Sun Mi throw the document to the ceiling with all of their strength…… without a word they rush to each other…. They tightly embrace

Again, it is like that night in England……Hyun Chul easily picks up Sun Mi in his arms and spins around smoothly in a circle …. Then he shouts for joy……
Sun Mi laughing and crying……can’t follow from Sun Mi’s mouth a sigh of admiration

Hyun Chul and Sun Mi don’t know what to do ……they become wrapped in a feeling of excitement…… they just entangle their lips….they are so excited that want to give everything to each other, but nothing seems to be sufficient……they are linked together and overflow with bodily motions.

They become pacified……. But they remain unchanged as they embrace each other tightly…..they bring their foreheads in contact

Sun Mi: Congratulations, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Me too….. congratulations, to you……(he gently puts his lips to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Don’t you think I’m truly an excellent secretary ….. I worked together with you like this…… I take the hardship …… also ….( she makes a smile)…..just like this, I give you a congratulating kiss…… right…… Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: No….. I tell you about the kiss….. those kisses are not from Mr. Director….. those kisses are from a man named Yun Hyun Chul delivered to a woman named Jin Sun Mi to show his passion

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi holds Hyun Chul’s neck tightly in her arms…..so…. she can show her heart to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Now …… time to approach one more matter to get through his decision…… He unties Sun Mi’s hand from holding his neck…….. He gazes at Sun Mi with a little sorrowful eyes)

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: (He silently guides Sun Mi to his chair…… then he lets Sun Mi sit in his chair…….. Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul with an innocent expression in her eyes……. Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi with deep eyes………… then he walks a little distance away from Sun Mi)….huh~~~(a deep sigh)……. Now, it is time to talk about some matters concerning you……..

Sun Mi: (she has been waiting for this moment)

Hyun Chul: (He tries to act different from his innermost wavering feelings…….. he tries hard to look like his behavior is calm)…. It is about me……well, what I’m trying to say accordingly about a man….. POOM SAENG POOM SAH (a way of living a personal achievement)……. You know ……. What the meaning is about? ……. Well after all, I realize……I’m just like those people (poom saeng poom sah)…… So what I’m trying to say ….. Sun Mi……you can leave to study abroad!!!!!!!!! I am determined to let you leave to study abroad!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

Hyun Chul: I’m sure ….. If I tell you not to leave …..You will probably stay here without any intention…… therefore I made up my mind to be fierce and decided to let you leave

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: I think that is the only fair way….. I’ve already been to study abroad, I have studied as much as I want to my satisfaction….. and have experienced new cultures and people ….. I don’t have the right to take away that kind of opportunity from you…….. for that reason…. You can leave to study abroad and comeback when you are finished

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: Aaha~~~~~~ (he acts like he admires himself)….. Don’t you think I’m truly a wonderful person……. Right……oh yes, I am…….ha ha ha ……. Of course before you leave …..I have some important things to tell you……you absolutely have to be aware of some things

Sun Mi: (She can see Hyun Chul mumbling and uneasy attitude…….. his attitude makes Sun Mi have a painful feeling in the corner of her heart….. “You are like a fool….. Why don’t you just tell me not to leave…. Why do you try to be so hard on yourself like this”)

Hyun Chul: The first!! The second!! The third!! And also the last thing!!!!! Without reservation be cautious about men!! Absolutely you can’t look at any other man!!! Keep that in your mind!!!! You won’t know when unconsciously I’m going to attack……in case I catch you or am suspicious with my own eyes……you naturally will have to return to Seoul that day at once…. …and who ever the guy is……I’m going to exile him outside universe………..

Sun Mi: (puts her head down…..than she begins to cry)

Hyun Chul: (stops abruptly for a moment, but intentionally makes himself look bright)…. You cry because you are impressed by my words……. Well you should be ….. I practiced for a couple of days without sleep !!!!!! (for a moment he hesitates….. but already he is ruined…… Sun Mi has detected his real intention…… he helplessly puts his head down…… he makes a fumbled smile)

Sun Mi: (She gets up from Hyun Chul’s chair…. Then goes near to the front of Hyun Chul)……… Really….. You don’t mind if I leave

Hyun Chul: (He tries to avoid Sun Mi’s eyes…… then he tries to nod his head)

Sun Mi: ………….. Really …… You don’t mind

Hyun Chul: (He tries to nod his head little smaller than before)

Sun Mi: ……………………… are you sure you don’t mind

Hyun Chul: (this time he doesn’t have any movement)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi turns around toward the window…… then she stares outside the window) ……. I have something to confess to you…….. I became determined to study abroad……. because of you……… in the end , I decided I can’t leave to study abroad…….. also that is because of you

Hyun Chul: (he holds up his head ….. then he looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (she wipes up her tears at once)…..it was unexpected that the interview to study abroad and the official business trip happened on the same day…… of course, I didn’t have any hesitation to choose the time with you…….. somehow a higher power considered my heart……. I have listened to a dream-like confession in a totally unanticipated place…….. then, I was together with you like this now….. (she doesn’t know what to do with her tears……she continues to wet her cheek)

Hyun Chul: ……… because of me…… You already gave up studying abroad….

Sun Mi: (She nods her head)

Hyun Chu: (the range between the pain and the impression…… makes wave motion in Hyun Chul’s innermost feelings……. He has slightly wet eyes…… he proceeds to search for Sun Mi…..then he takes Sun Mi towards him)…….. You fool!!!!!

Sun Mi: (she just sobs)……….

Hyun Chul: (with all his strength pulls Sun Mi toward him for an embrace)…… For love ….. To love ….. I always thought…… with love it is better to give than to receive …… I thought …. There would be much more happiness to give to a person than to receive when in love………. But …… but…….. now I understand it doesn’t ………. I have received from you much love……. I really didn’t know how much feelings become painful this way

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Don’t you ever again sacrifice like that for the sake of me……… Don’t do that anymore……… from now on….. I’m going to give to you……… without reservation, I’m going to give you everything……… You just stay there and take everything……so you just receive from me

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels …….. she becomes more intimate with Hyun Chul’s love….. She dives into Hyun Chul’s chest…… she puts everything in Hyun Chul’s charge…….. her tears look like aren’t going to stop……. She sobs hard)

Hyun Chul: ……….. You make ….. me become a prudent person ……….
(Sun Mi is his eternal love…… He tightly embraces Sun Mi…….then before he is aware, a single tear comes down from Hyun Chul’s eye)

(The secretary office door opens lightly.. Min Chul enters the office with a full smile on his face)

Sun Mi: (She makes a quiet smile). How are you Mr. Min Chul

Min Chul: I look at you in this place you look a little unusual.

Sun Mi: Oh!! I am. Mr. Director is in his office ..You can go in

Min Chul: (He has playful eyes) Hmmm~~~~~ What is that smell??

Sun Mi: Huh???? You smell something???

Min Chul: Yes!! Usually people say this smells very sweet..like GAE SOH GOHM (roasted sesame seeds with parched salt). It is a sweet smell that oscillates everywhere.

Sun Mi: (She tries to avoid Min Chul’s teasing Her face becomes reddish)

Min Chul: (He makes a beaming smile) I’m going into his office

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Min Chul: (looks at Hyun Chul disapprovingly out of the corner of his eyes) Oh boy!! There is no particularly immortal occupation.. I’m totally exhausted by my work as an assistant director on a film I run this way and that way even one day’s 24 hours changes to 48 hours isn’t enough time for me to do anything. I don’t know how long it has been since I saw Je Uhn’s face lastI don’t even have time to call.. But you.. Brother, you have only one door between you and Miss Sun Mi.. You can see Miss Sun Mi any time you want to look at her

Hyun Chul: (He makes a nice smile)

Min Chul: Good heavens brother.. Here people do not particularly come in and go.. How do I know what kind of business is carried on between Miss Sun Mi and you .. (He makes teasing eyes). Tell me the truth there is not even a single thought about work within your head.. maybe every hourno probably every 30 minutesyou try to call Miss Sun Mi to come in here, right!!.and for what reason..well. I don’t have to tell you.. you probably already know

Hyun Chul: (He clears his throat) What kind of people do you think we are ..Miss Sun Mi and I. we don’t even think about behaving wrongly we remain faithful to each others engagements

Min Chul: What kind of faithful engagement?????

Hyun Chul: (He looks a little embarrassed.. He gets up from his seat).. let’s go out and have some lunch

Min Chul: I asked you.What kind of faithful engagement????

Hyun Chul: (He intentionally makes a strict expression) If you continue talking like that I’m not going to buy you lunch

Min Chul: Oh!! Good heavens!! I can’t possibly just ignore this matter. I’m going to tell father and ask him to arrange this matter properly

Hyun Chul: Hey!!!!!!!!

Min Chul: (acts like he is escaping from Hyun Chul.. He walks directly toward the door) We’ll go out to lunch together with Miss Sun Mi.. Right????? (He lightly winks at Hyun Chul and gets out of Hyun Chul’s office quickly)

Hyun Chul: (His face becomes many-colored)

#THE BROADCASTING STATION LOBBY

After finishing lunch with Min Chul .. Min Chul separates from Hyun Chul and Sun Mi They walk into the lobby side by side

Hyun Chul: Min Chul. He was teasing you a lot.. Well.. He must be very envious of us.... He should just come out and say how envious he is of us.. Why is he trying to unnecessarily cross tempers..

Sun Mi: (She smiles softly)

Hyun Chul: I’m going to let him see.. next time when we meet with Je Uhn I’m not going to just act gently

(The station employees walk past Hyun Chul and Sun Mithey all cast sidelong glances at Hyun Chul and Sun Mi..they even turn their bodies around to glance at Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s backside Sun Mi can see people whispering to each other about something)

Hyun Chul: (He is not conscious of anything as yet.. He continues to busily talk to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She acts uncomfortable She drops her head down lightlythen Sun Mi begins to pay attention to the surrounding people’s eyes).. Well. Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: (he turns to look back at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: If you don’t mind . Will you go to your office first

Hyun Chul: Um?? Why?? Do you have some place to go??

Sun Mi: YesJust for a little while.. I have to stop by some place anyhow, please go ahead to your office first (She quickly passes by Hyun Chul..then she walks quickly in the other direction)

Hyun Chul: (He tilts his head)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Sun Mi is in agony for a few days Her motives become only one..the time has already passed for them to leave their offices. Sun Mi has become determined to ask Hyun Chul about the matter She knocks at Hyun Chul’ office door

Hyun Chul: (His eyes settle on a document on top of his desk. He acts like he doesn’t notice Sun Mi enter)

Sun Mi: (She just gazes at Hyun Chul’s appearance then she makes a hazy smile)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul makes his mouth beam with a smile but his eyes continue to look at his document..and he waits for Sun Mi to walk up close to him)

Sun Mi: (however Sun Mi looks like she is just frozen in that spotShe just tries to send an affectionate look toward Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (He covers his document with a slap He holds up his head easily. Then he cutely distorts his face) Come on..come close to me Jin Sun Mi..I’m trying to transmit to you telepathically .You didn’t receive my telepathy..or eitherintentionally you trying not to be close to me.

Sun Mi: It’s nice to observe you working.. so I didn’t want to get in your way.

Hyun Chul: You still don’t know me at all?? When there is you in this room. You already disturb me You think I was looking at the document before.. that document didn’t even get any of my attention. (He gets up from his seat and walks near Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul tries to wrap Sun Mi’s waist with his arms Sun Mi softly sweeps her hands down Hyun Chul’s shoulders)

Hyun Chul: (He gently runs into Sun Mi’s lips. Then they bring their foreheads into contact)

Sun Mi: . Actually, I have something to talk to you about

Hyun Chul: What do you want to talk about?? Aha~~~~~~ You want to say you love me..

Sun Mi: (she drops her head with a soft smile)

Hyun Chul: (He lifts up Sun Mi’s face..He again runs Sun Mi’s forehead to his.then he gently stares at Sun Mi’s big eyes)

Sun Mi: (This time she doesn’t avoid Hyun Chul’s eyesher eyes meet with Hyun Chul deep eyes)

Hyun Chul: quick tell me what you want say..

Sun Mi: (she softly touches the surface of Hyun Chul’s lips). I love you

Before Sun Mi is aware Hyun Chul already comes to take possession of her lips. They blow warm breathes into each other closely
They tremble inside with fear.Sun Mi just receives Hyun Chul’s love. Little by little they pass their hands overSun Mi tries to burries her head into Hyun Chul’s chest to stop Hyun Chul’s lips from moving toward Sun Mi’s neck

Hyun Chul: (He feels like his hand is wanting more from Sun Mi. Hyun Chul tightly wraps his arms around Sun Mi’s head)

Sun Mi: . I really have something to talk about but behaving like this . I am unable to talk about it todayI guess it will have to just wait until some other day

Hyun Chul: Besides those words .. You have something else to talk about.Ummm~~~~~~~ let me think You already told me that you love me.. what can the next word be??

Sun Mi: (She comes out from Hyun Chul’s chest).. I do have something to talk about .Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: It seem like .it must be some business matter??.

Sun Mi: Yes, It is about a business matter..But I must ask you for a personal favor may I ask you such a thing

Hyun Chul: Ahaa~~~~~~Now truly . It feels like you are certainly becomeing my woman. You ask me as much as you want.. you can solicit What do you want. I will do everything to make your request complete

Sun Mi: Thank very much.

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul leads Sun Mi to his chair with a gentle smile then he makes Sun Mi sit in his seat. And he takes a place opposite from Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (As she drops her head down She fumbles with her hands)

Hyun Chul: (He tries to put Sun Mi’s full appearance into his eyes) What kind of matter do you want to talk about. Miss Jin Sun Mi.let me hear what you want to talk about. alright!!

Sun Mi: (She slowly raises her head) WellMr. Director I would like you to transfer me to the planning department

Hyun Chul: Huh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Director please transfer me to the planning department!!

Hyun Chul: Huh!!. for what reason!!

Sun Mi: Since the last time I worked with you, Mr. Director, to prepare the presentation.. I have become very impressed with the planning department’s work and I have new interests It is about a secretary’s position duties .. the secretary position is just a supporting secretary position .. Now.. I would like put my name to a promotion.. something different than a secretary’s job

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi.. You always made your duty more than just a supporting role I’m not just talking about last time, when you and I, together prepared the presentation. Also..There are many tasks that need to be prepared. We always work together to complete an accomplishment. It is not only myself that completes these tasks. You understand what I’m trying to tell you!!

Sun Mi: Yes I knowI understand what you mean.

Hyun Chul: Well.. I’m going to continue to do as well using the same way in the future!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Director!!!!!

Hyun Chul: Do you have anything else to discuss!! If you don’t.. then conversation today .. I’m just going to act as if I didn’t hear anything from you!! (He gets up from his seat). Sun Mi lets leave this place and go have diner at a wonderful place together

Sun Mi: Mr. Director.

Hyun Chul: Hurry up!!!..(He sticks out his hand toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: ..(She feels like she doesn’t have a choice but to take a hold of Hyun Chul’s hand )

Hyun Chul: (He pulls Sun Mi up with all his strength and tightly grasps Sun Mi’s waist.with both of his arms) I’m not going to transfer you any place!! Therefore.. you better not think about useless matters right!!

Sun Mi: (She has already guessed that she is going to have to set some standard. She thought Hyun Chul not going to transfer her as a submissive act but this time Hyun Chul’s action becomes more than what she thoughtHyun Chul’s very obstinate Sun Mi think once again that she will have to begin a contest with Hyun Chul’s obstinance)

#THE HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

Mrs. Lee: (She arranges Hyun Chul’s refrigerator. She continues to scold with Hyun Chul) Why is this refrigerator so messy like this anyhow if I don’t come to see you in one week.your refrigerator looks like a mess. You don’t even touch this food entirely.. Do you have a proper meal when you go to your office

Hyun Chul: (As now it is like he is being disciplined by his mother He acts like it goes in one ear and out the other.. He just concentrates his mind on his notebook)

Mrs. Lee: (Hyun Chul’s attitude makes Mrs. Lee become more angry) Hyun Chul!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: ..

Mrs. Lee: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (He looks composed) Yes Mother I’m listen to what you are saying, please go on

Mrs. Lee: I can’t continue to help you like this anymore. Well Maybe you should employ a house keeper or bring a woman to be your wife. You have to choose one or the other

Hyun Chul: (He makes a beaming smile) Yes Mother, I understand what you saying.

Mrs. Lee: (She thinks that she finally has caught Hyun Chul by the tail. She walks up to Hyun Chul with her face full of a smile) What!! Did you just say you understand . You have any good ideas??

Hyun Chul: (Acts like it is not an important matter) Well I’m going to get a house keeper

Hyun Chul: (He diligently taps the keyboard).. Yes Mother. I’m listening, please go on

Mrs. Lee: You don’t have anything that you want to discuss with your Mother??

Hyun Chul: (He stops tapping the keyboard. Then he acts like he is seriously thinking) Umm~~~~~~~~ Mother!! You better go home as soon as possible. Father must be waiting for you it’s about time his neck with fall down .

Mrs. Lee: (Hyun Chul’s continuing attitude makes. Mrs. Lee slap Hyun Chul on the back and scowls at him with her eyes)

Hyun Chul: (He turns around to look at Mrs. Lee.. then his face becomes little distorted) Mother!!

Mrs. Lee: I thought I was going to be patient with you until you voluntarily mentioned it to me..how long are you going to act this way as if nothing is going on..You continue to appear like this..let’s see.(She becomes sulky She picks up her hand bag.. then she walks toward the entrance door).. some say .. there is nothing useful from raising a kid . I don’t expect many things from youOh my goodness.doing this, only makes my mouth become painful

Hyun Chul: (With a beaming smile he takes big steps chasing after Mrs. Lee then he embraces his mother tightly) Mother~~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs. Lee: (She looks like she is disappointed. She pushes Hyun Chul away) leave me alone. Now, I feel like I don’t even want to see your face

Hyun Chul: Mother!! If you leave like this.. then, I will be unable to do anything. I’m very sorry

Mrs. Lee: You always use this kind of methodlike you give a sickness at the same time you give the medicine

Hyun Chul: Well. You are angry at me??

Mrs. Lee: Yes I am!! I am angry!! You’re a bad boy!! You’re a wicked boy!!

Hyun Chul: (He lays his head on Mrs. Lee’s shoulder) Mother, I happen to be in love with someone

Mrs. Lee: (She scowls at Hyun Chul with provoking eyes)

Hyun Chul: You probably already heard from Min Chul anyhow .before someone already told me.. That she has a very lovely heart..

Mrs. Lee: (That matter flashes across Mrs. Lee’s mind). How about her face?? Is her face also lovely??

Hyun Chul: Yes Mother ..She is very lovely..(he smiles) of course ..She is not as lovely as you

Mrs. Lee: Yah Yah Yah~~~~~~~~~
(She already knows his remark is not sincerebut she is flattered by Hyun Chul’s remark. Nevertheless, with all her strength she tries her best to smile) You should bring her to my home at once I want see her.also she has to meet your father so that she can properly greet him

Hyun Chul: Yes. Of course I should do that

# SUN MI’S HOUSE (THE LIVING ROOM)

Gyu Sung: I must be getting old in age It is like my intuition has increased

Sun Mi: Daddy !! What are you talking about??

Gyu Sung: What am I talking about I’m just trying to say some words to you.If I just look at your facial expression.. I already think. Lately my daughter has had a very hard time.. also my daughter has had a very happy time.and as well you fallen in love.. I know everything that is going on,,,,,,, just words like that

Sun Mi: Daddy..

Gyu Sung: That boy It was that boy ??? He let my lovely daughter have tears in her eyes!!

Sun Mi: (Her expression becomes absentminded)

Gyu Sung: You are unable to say a word I must be correct, it was him right.. I’m going to give him a hard timebut, lately your face shows a smile like a blooming flowerSo I’m going to try and forgive him

Sun Mi: Daddy

Gyu Sung: It doesn’t mean I forgive him every thing He comes to the front of my house every day with you to bring you home..but I don’t know the reason why he doesn’t come to greet me. If he continues like that .he should know what your daddy is going to do him..

Sun Mi: (Her forehead grimaces a little at Gyu Sung) Daddy, you already saw

Gyu Sung: Of course, don’t you think your Daddy has open eyesI’m not blind

Sun Mi: (She’s bashful .. She drops her head down with s soft smile)

Gyu Sung: It is certain that he is the right person for you?? Your Daddy can be confident to place my daughter under his chargeright??

Sun Mi: (Same as before she drops her head down.. She nods at Gyu Sung quietly)

Gyu Sung: (His emotions become full of a fainting feeling.his emotions feel like a mix of overflowing joy and disappointment. He holds onto Sun Mi’s hand in his hands His eyes become damp with tears)

Sun Mi: (She tries to hold up her head quietly. Then she sees her father’s eyes have tears forming). Daddy

Gyu Sung: There must be something in my eyes(he leaves his seat)if you don’t mind bring him to my house at once, so I can meet him.It is very late in the night.as soon as possible, you should go upstairs and have a rest..(Gyu Sung enters his room)

Sun Mi: (At once..tears drop down her cheek) I’m sorry Daddy. I was unaware of your feelings.. I just thought of only myself

Sun Mi and Hyun Chul continues to have sensitive actions toward each other without showing their emotions Sun Mi tries to begin talking to Hyun Chul about her delicate situation. Before she is aware Hyun Chul does not give her any space to try and change the subject . She is completely blocked..but, Sun Mi thinks that this matter can’t be delayed anymore..Sun Mi makes her thoughts strong and steady

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (He ignores Sun Mi’s glance at him. His appearance looks like he is devoted to his work)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi prepares her thoughts..Today it doesn’t matter what kind of an engagement she has She has made up her mind and her position has become strong so she has to settle this matter)

Hyun Chul: How long do you think you are going to stand there like that??
You can go home first in any way I think this work will be completed very late ..

Sun Mi: Hyun Chulplease let us take the time so that we can have a conversation

Hyun Chul: I don’t have anything to converse about!!!!

Sun Mi: I know. You are trying to avoid the matter I asked about.but that doesn’t mean everything is going to be alright

Hyun Chul: Why not!! Why can’t everything be alright!!!! (His voice becomes a little loud also his facial expression becomes hard too) That is enough talk . Let us stop all this nonsense!!

Sun Mi: I’m not going to go far away. It is the same broadcasting station.and a matter of fact it is still under direct supervision by you it is your station, I’m going to ask for transfer.. of course, if I stay as a secretary we will have more time together.and, if I am transferred to the planning department, there will be a decrease in the time we can be together..but. maybe there, I can assist you better business wise. I think I can assist you more than as a secretary

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!

Sun Mi: Well every business place has a rule of job rotation. Give me a chance, please. I can’t work as a secretary until the end of my life

Hyun Chul: Yes you can!! You can stay forever. That is up to me

Sun Mi:

Hyun Chul: What’s the real reason you want to transfer from this office!! Why suddenly do you want to transfer!! You act like someone is forcing you to do an undesirable job what on earth!! Why do you behave like this!!

Sun Mi: I’ve already explained to you

Hyun Chul: You have become very impatient and act like you want to leave so badly from my side!! Let me ask you. You being at my sideis there that much you can’t bear to be with me and unpleasant to you?? Ok I get it fine then..from now, absolutely, I’m not going to bothering you!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul.We have a special relationship now, we can’t work without feelings and emotionsit makes that we can’t do our duties only business like. It is not like. The past, when we didn’t know about our feeling

Hyun Chul: I already said. That I’m not going to bother you anymore!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul

Hyun Chul: (He walks near Sun Mi.. then takes a hold of Sun Mi’s shoulder in his hand) I don’t like itSun Mi, I really don’t like it . I’m not going to let you go. I don’t want you to leave from here.

Sun Mi: We can’t be in this place forever with this kind of relationship It is just me that thinks like this

Hyun Chul: What are you talking about

Sun Mi: (she turns her face away from Hyun Chul). Nothing. Nothing at all

Hyun Chul: (He grasps Sun Mi’s arm tightly) What on earth !! Do you mean by that!!!

Sun Mi: (She feels resentful) Nothing.. It doesn’t mean anything!!!

Hyun Chul: I really don’t want to argue about this matter anymore. just like now You will stay at my side just as before..that will make everything alright (Hyun Chul returns to his seat He again begins his work enthusiastically)

Sun Mi: .. I guess I have to talk to you straight the reason I really want to be transferred to the planning department is because I have to

Hyun Chul: ..

Sun Mi: It is because the broadcasting station people are beginning little by little to recognize our relationship.. The people do nothing but make an interesting scandal. Without anything to do with our feelings people occasionally talk gossip about us

Hyun Chul: I’m not going to be concerned with that kind of gossip.. Anyhow It is about time . I really want to let those people know the news about our relationshipand I don’t think I have to have unnecessary responsibility for what those people feel about our matter

Sun Mi: Of course.. I’m not concerned about those people too

Hyun Chul: Then we are all settled that brings the subject to a close!!

Sun Mi: And yet .we don’t live in this world by our self. If we continue to be together like thiswe can very easily show our relationship to others

Hyun Chul: (Raises his head to look at Sun Mi, his face is much harder then his expression looks like he is asking Sun Mi to stop talking about this matter)

Sun Mi: I’m the one who doesn’t like gossip and it makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t like people talking without good reason.they do gossip this way and that about our situation please do this for my sake make the decision to transfer me to the planning department don’t think about any other thing, do this as a favor for my sake

Hyun Chul: (He push his document away with a hysterical attitude.then throws down a closed notebook with all his strength on top of his desk. Then he picks up his briefcase and suit jacket.and walks toward his office door)

Sun Mi: (She drops her head down)

Hyun Chul: (He turns his head as he is ready to open his office door). If you want to be transferred that much. I guess I have to help transfer you!! Since before I tried to promise to do everything you asked of me..anything for your sake!! It is probably good for you to be transferred as soon as possible!! Ok, fine!! I’m going immediately arrange to transfer for you!!

Sun Mi: ..

Hyun Chul: (He looks at Sun Mi with cold chilly eyes.. then the door bangs closed as he walks out of his office)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi, with the a deep sigh, closes her eyes)

#A EMPLOYEE CAFERTERIA

With Sun Dahl. Hyun Chul carries a serving tray in his hand. He goes past Sun Mi and Ju Hee who are sitting together at a table Then he takes a seat at a separate table away from Sun Mi and Ju Hee’s table

Sun Dahl: (He tries to stop and take a seat at Sun Mi and Ju Hee’s table His face becomes puzzled He chases after Hyun Chul to another table..and he takes a seat next to Hyun Chul) Mr. Director. There are many seat left at that table.. Why do you strongly suggest sitting at this table

Hyun Chul: Team leader Kim!! Why don’t you go over to that table and have your meal!!

Sun Dahl: (in a low voice) What’s wrong with you?? Is there something the matter with you and Miss Sun Mi??

Hyun Chul: (He takes a hard sidelong glance at Sun Mi then turns his head around toward a different direction)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul tries to avoid Sun Mi lately with his cold chilly appearance Sun Mi becomes disturbed in her mind and very unhappy.She lays her spoon down on her meal tray)



Ju Hee: (She turns around to look at Hyun Chul.. then again looks toward Sun Mi). What’s wrong with you..is something the matter??

# THE SECRETARY’S OFFICE

She must have made a mistake thinking about a transfer.
Hyun Chul’s behavior continues to be cold..Sun Mi looks very disheartened. She doesn’t even have any strength to sit in her chair

Hyun Chul: (He remains unchanged, his face looks hard Hyun Chul comes out of his office.. then walks near to the front of Sun Mi’s desk)

Sun Mi: (She gets up from her seat then looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Starting next Monday..You will be in the planning department!! Before you go to the planning department, supervise Mr. Kim will be contacting you!! (He makes a short conversation.sounding very business like then he re-enters his office again)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul

Hyun Chul: (He shows his back side. He stops walking toward his office)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi walks near to Hyun chul She looks for a moment at Hyun Chul’s back. She thought today Hyun Chul’s appearance looked tall Sun Mi softly leans her forehead against Hyun Chul’s back)

Hyun Chul: (Different from his true heart he turns around with a cold chilly appearance) You don’t like this kind of behavior that is why you decided to transfer from here to planning department!! From now on let us maintain a business relationship!! At the broadcasting station..of course, Miss Jin Sun Mi you have made sure to distinguish business matters and personal matters!!

Sun Mi: (She feels disappointed . Her eyes begin to form faint tears)

Hyun Chul: (He turns his face away from Sun Mi then he enters his office)

Sun Mi comes and goes from the planning department to the Secretary’s office..Sun Mi tries to stay busy during her last day in the secretary’s office.. Casually, from time to time Hyun Chul crosses her mindHyun Chul hangs onto her heart and mind but in any case, she has to go through and carry on with this course. Sun Mi braces herself up so that her heart becomes strong

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Sun Mi: (As before Sun Mi enters Hyun Chul’s office…………She stands in front of Hyun Chul………… It is not like Sun Mi doesn’t understand Hyun Chul’s feeling…………. But Hyun Chul’s attitude makes Sun Mi become even more disappointed and she has unkind feelings toward Hyun Chul)……………..Hyun Chul

Sun Mi: (She brushes her cheek against his heart)

Hyun Chul: (He lightly kisses the top of Sun Mi’s head)

Sun Mi: If someone saw us like this………… they might think we are separating far away

Hyun Chul: I am………… I feel like I’m transferring you very far away…………. You don’t feel like that??…………. I think about how starting Monday outside my office………… there will be a different secretary at your desk…………… I’ve already been feeling empty and lonely

Sun Mi: I ………… I feel just as you do………we are going to be in the same building………It is just couple floors apart……… I can’t believe I feel like I will be very far away from you too

Hyun Chul: Hoo (a sigh)~~~~~~~~ Anyhow………… I am quite concerned about the planning department………… there are too many young guys…………from time to time I’m going to come in and check on you…………if I catch you………not doing your duty and spending time with those men chit-chatting………….Then do you know what I’m going to do?

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: It is very different then you working as a secretary……………I’m going to treat you very particular…………If you don’t do your duty properly I’m going to treat you as…………a bully and push you very strictly ……… you wait and see

Sun Mi: ……………………………………..(She has a hazy smile)

Hyun Chul: Why don’t you just stay comfortably at my side the same as before and stay completely with me ………… why you chose to turn around down a hard road………

Sun Mi: Because I have too much self-interest……… that is why………I have self-interest to work………… I have self-interest in you very much.

Hyun Chul: You have self-interest on me………… Really, I like to hear that remark………. But I think I have more self-interest than you ………… I have too much excess self-interest for you…………… I don’t want to let anybody see you………… I only want to look at you myself…………like you exist only for my sake………… I guess I wish something like that………… After that I will make you completely my own for all eternity…………… Perhaps…………I thought I could hide you at my side so no one could take you from me

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Your talents………… Your uncomfortable feelings………… I tried not to concern myself about them at all………… I’ve only thought about my own feelings

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s straight confession makes………without intention………Sun Mi’s eyes fill with tears)

Hyun Chul: (removes Sun Mi from his chest……… for a long time Hyun Chul gently looks down toward Sun Mi) Come now~~~~ let me look at you……… I guess I have to do a proper farewell……… ( He stands straight)…………In my whole life ………I have the best fortune and destiny………… because of you………because I met Miss Jin Sun Mi ……… Even if I let her leave now……… In the future……… I will be more aware of Miss Sun Mi and how more precious our love is that we will stay together side by side for all eternity…………I’m not going to behave unhappy anymore………… Thank you for the past days and for all your hard work……… Thank you Miss Jin Sun Mi……… (He sticks his hand out for a handshake)

Sun Mi: (She holds Hyun Chul’s hand while large drops of tears fall down her face……… Sun Mi tries to not let Hyun Chul’s gazing eyes slip away from her)
I think in the future I will never meet a boss as special as you………Mr. Director.

(They make efforts to grip each others hand more tightly………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s eyes are slightly wet and entangled in a warm way)

#THE SECRETARY’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul is the same as always……… He opens the secretary office door with all of his strength………. as was his habit………He places his eyes on Sun Mi’s spot ………where he always found her……… But there is already a different secretary that has taken that place

Hyun Chul only then realizes the emptiness of Sun Mi’s space………the new secretary greets him………. Hyun Chul nods his head lightly with a hazy smile.

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

As clasps his hands under his chin as he sits at his desk……… Hyun Chul tries drawing Sun Mi into his head………… Sun Mi’s appears feebly in Hyun Chul’s mind

From the first day Sun Mi became his secretary………to the day before yesterday……… flash across his mind………Sun Mi’s every appearance and facial expression…………Hyun Chul forms a hazy smile………… and yet…………there is a sparkle in his eyes…………he thinks to himself- “ I miss her……… I miss her very much………I also wonder about her ……… again……… I miss her”

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Sun Mi state of mind once again is like a new employee…………Sun Mi runs around diligently………greeting the other staff………trying to learn in new job………She moves very busily………… not to be injurious to Hyun Chul……….. Sun Mi appearance is very lovely

Supervisor Kim: Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!

Sun Mi: Yes, Mr. Supervisor

Supervisor Kim: Can I talk to you for a moment?

Sun Mi: Yes Sir!!

(Suddenly there is the sound of a cell phone ringing……… Sun Mi looks at supervisor Kim………then she quietly flips open her cell phone)………… Hello?

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s voice is rejoyceful……… He is in love……… He is affectionate) Jin Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She speaks in a very low voice) Hyun Chul……………..

Hyun Chul: What are you doing???

Sun Mi: I’m sorry………I’m very busy right now……… I will call you back some time later………okay?………(She flips her cell phone closed)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (He looks at his disconnected telephone for a moment with confusion……… then once again he dials the telephone number)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi is surprised once again by the sound of her ringing cell phone………She shrinks back……… She quickly flips her cell open and closed………… then she worries about the chances of the cell phone ringing again……… so she completely turns her cell phone off)

Hyun Chul: (For a moment it was like the other side received his call………but the next second the phone line was cut off again……… once again he dials the telephone number ………… But he only hears the message that the cell phone is turned off………… He becomes angry) What is this!!!!!! Jin Sun Mi!! How can you be like this!!!! Right, let me see!!!!!

All morning until noon……… Hyun Chul waits for Sun Mi to call…… But not even once did Hyun Chul hear the sound of a telephone ringing………………….
At the employee restaurant……… the lobby……… Hyun Chul occasionally meets Sun Mi………… but every moment they meet each other……… Sun Mi is together with the planning department staff……… She just walks past Hyun Chul……… she only slightly nods toward Hyun Chul ……… She doesn’t even once give Hyun Chul an affectionate smile

Sun Mi’s behavior makes Hyun Chul even more anguished……… He feels very annoyed by these matters………… He pouts his lips and gazes at Sun Mi’s appearance until she disappears from his eyes.

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

It is an old saying that a thirsty person will dig a well first……… Hyun Chul is unable to be patient anymore……… before he is aware Hyun Chul arrives at the front door of the planning department……… Before he enters the planning department……… Hyun Chul takes a good look inside the planning department through a clear large glass window

Though Sun Mi’s appearance was considerably composed………. After conversing with her surrounding work staff……… Sun Mi devotes herself to her duties…………Sun Mi’s appearance captures Hyun Chul’s eyes…………and always makes Hyun Chul very tense……… Sun Mi’s other side………her charming appearance……… Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Mi like he about to lose his soul………He gently smiles………

Sun Mi’s appearance looks like she has adjusted well to her new job…………Hyun Chul has relief from his uneasy feeling toward Sun Mi…………but on the other hand………Hyun Chul feels regret and disappointment………. After just one day………Sun Mi appears to be very comfortable……… like she has forgotten everything………even her time together with Hyun Chul……… She acts very differently compared to Hyun Chul who has wandered around by himself……… Hyun Chul thinks for a moment……… then……….he becomes a little cross tempered!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul enters the planning department opening the door widely……… then with a loud voice) How is every one!!! I appreciate everyone’s hard work!!!!!

(The planning department employees all get up at once from their seats………. They all nod lightly toward Hyun Chul………… supervisor Kim quickly approaches Hyun Chul)

Sun Mi: (She becomes perplexed……… She tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes)

Hyun Chul: (Before he tries anything……….Hyun Chul verifies Sun Mi’s appearance………He pretends like he is looking around at all the staff……… but he walks directly toward Sun Mi’s seat……… he takes one step at a time trying to get near Sun Mi………… a smile arises on his face like a little rascal boy)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi quickly takes her seat……… then she tries to bury her head into the top of her desk)

Supervisor Kim: How are you Mr. Director……… welcome to our department

Hyun Chul: I just came to look around once……… Don’t worry about me and just go ahead with your duties as before

Supervisor Kim: Ah~~~~ Yes~~~~~

(Before anyone is aware Hyun Chul………is almost near Sun Mi’s desk……… then he stands exactly next to Sun Mi’s seat)

Supervisor Kim: (He tries to pay attention to Hyun Chul’s intentions) Miss Jin Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (She tries to tightly close and open her eyes once………She unavoidably gets up from her seat)

Hyun Chul: (He looks like a little boy with a pout as he looks at Sun Mi with fixed eyes)

Supervisor Kim: Thank you Mr. Director………. I truly appreciate you for transferring this kind of talented employee to our department………… It is still the beginning stages………… but shortly I am sure of getting the full value of her abilities

Hyun Chul: Yes, I do believe she will do it………….

Sun Mi: (She look as if her head droops down)

(Supervisor Kim continues to carry on a favorable conversation with Hyun Chul……….while Supervisor Kim continues to talk……….Hyun Chul listens unintentionally letting everything flow in one ear………. then he quietly takes his foot and kicks Sun Mi in the leg)

Sun Mi: (She become surprised by Hyun Chul’s act………… She quietly turns her head around)

Hyun Chul: (He signals Sun Mi with his eyes…………he moves eyes toward the door to signal Sun Mi to go out from her office for a moment)

Sun Mi: (She scowls at Hyun Chul with a disapproving look out of the corner of her eyes)

Hyun chul: (He once again strongly signals Sun Mi with his eyes)…………Yes I really appreciate all your hard work Supervisor Kim……… well……… I look forward to your continuing good job…………..(He turns around with a full smile on his face………then he quickly walks toward the planning department entrance)

Supervisor Kim: (Supervisor Kim deeply bends down at his waist greet Hyun Chul’s backside)

Sun Mi: (She looks at the sight of Hyun Chul’s backside with a detestable look on her face as Hyun Chul tries to leave the planning department………… She indirectly picks up one document from the top of her desk and holds it in her hand………… then readies herself to leave the planning department office)

Supervisor Kim: (He doesn’t have any sense) Lets all gather together!!!! We are going to have a meeting!!!

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!

#THE EMERGENCY EXIT

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s expression comes across his mind………. He gently smiles……… He eagerly waits for Sun Mi)

(Suddenly ……… Hyun Chul’s cell phone rings)

Hyun Chul: Yes~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (She speaks in a low voice) I can’t leave the office now………… Supervisor Kim just started a meeting……… I have to be at the meeting

Hyun Chul: What!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: I’m sorry……… I’m going to hang up the phone now

Hyun Chul: (He feels prostrated …………He leans his back against the wall and unnecessarily kicks the wall with his foot)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul is distracted by thoughts about Sun Mi………He can’t do any work………He sits back in his chair and leans his head back……….he stares at the ceiling absentmindedly …………
Suddenly ……… He looks like something just came to his mind………. He pushes down a button on the office intercom)

Secretary Miss Lee: Yes, Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Miss. Lee………if you don’t mind can you call the planning department to see of their meeting is finished

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Supervisor Kim: Yes, Mr. Director………. Of course……… Yes Sir………. I will send her immediately with the documents to your office………….(He puts down his telephone) Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Yes, Supervisor

Supervisor Kim: (He searches inside the cabinets of his office for a long time………. Then hands a bundle of documents toward Sun Mi) Miss Jin Sun Mi…………will you take these documents to Mr. Director’s office

Sun Mi: Huh?? What kind of documents are they?????

Supervisor Kim: Those documents are ideas from the planning department from last year………….occasionally ideas are put aside and then become useful at a later time……………somehow Mr. Director wants to review these documents again

Sun Mi: Ye~~s~~~~~~

Supervisor Kim: Your past work with Mr. Director must make him very comfortable with you………… Mr. Director insisted that I send Miss Jin Sun Mi to bring these documents to him………… not any other staff member

Sun Mi:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#THE SECRETARY’S OFFICE

Sun Mi enters the secretary’s office with a hard look on her face………… secretary Miss Lee must be not there………the secretary’s seat is empty……… this was Sun Mi’s work place until last week………. She looks around the room and becomes absorbed in thinking back upon her times here…………she quickly regains her focus in a moment…………Sun Mi looks at the Director’s office door……….with a angry impatient feeling………Sun Mi for a moment puts her feelings in order and becomes calm………then she knocks at the Director’s office door

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (as soon as there is the sound of knocking at the door……….he unknowingly gets up from his seat)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi enters Hyun Chul’s office with her cold eyes looking down………… then she lays the bundle of documents on top of the Hyun Chul’s desk) here are last years ideas from the planning department that you were looking for…….(She lightly nods to Hyun Chul and turns around to leave)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She turns back toward Hyun Chul)……….. Mr. Director do you have any other orders for me!!!!!

Hyun Chul: What is wrong with your facial expression??? You look very angry toward me!!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Director you don’t have any other orders …………then I’m going to leave and get back to my duties!!!

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!!

Sun Mi: (She behaves like she doesn’t want to look at Hyun Chul……… She avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes)

Hyun Chul: Oh my goodness!! Actually, who is angry at who first…………(He makes a beaming smile)……….Secretary Miss Lee is not at desk……… right?

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: I sent secretary Miss Lee to run some errands to make an opportunity for us to spend time together………… (He walks toward Sun Mi)……… let us therefore strongly kiss one time

Sun Mi: (She hastily steps backward) Hyun Chul!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (smiles) It is a joke ……… I’m just joking……… Come on, are you afraid of my joking

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……… if you don’t stop constantly making fun of me and making things difficult for me…………then I’m…….. I’m going to give up this broadcasting station job

Hyun Chul: I don’t think so………at who’s benefit

Sun Mi: Mr. Director……… You don’t have the authority to discharge me as you feel…………. I can give up my job anytime as I want

Hyun Chul: (His expression becomes hard………for a moment he stares at Sun Mi)……… all day long……… I have not been able to see your face once………and not even one telephone call………so I thought and thought in my head how I could make some time for us to be together………(His expression becomes disappointed) All right……… I understand Miss Jin Sun Mi……… I don’t have anything else to say…………and I don’t have any business matters too………I guess now you can leave and go back to your duties

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………………..

Hyun Chul: (He angered by this matter………… He sits in his chair and then pulls out from the top of his desk the bundle of documents that Sun Mi brought)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………………………………..

Hyun Chul: What are you doing?? I told you……… you can leave and return to your duties………..from now on here in the broadcasting station………. I will act as if I don’t know you ………… Don’t worry

Sun Mi: Don’t be angry at me……… don’t behave like that

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………………………….

Sun Mi: (She quietly grimaces)………. All right………then come close by me for one minute

Hyun Chul: (He tries to smile without Sun Mi noticing)

Sun Mi: …………………………… fine ……… two minutes

Hyun Chul: (He absolutely can’t control himself………He makes a bracing smile……… He gazes at Sun Mi like she is so lovely)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul with a scowl)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul approaches Sun Mi slowly……… then he tightly holds one of Sun Mi’s hand in his hand)…….. What is this Jin Sun Mi………..all day………. I have wondered about you………. I tried to search for you like hide and seek all day………I tell you I can’t do any work……… I miss you so much……… I’m anxious about you………I love you so much ……. I can’t pay attention to any other thing at all.

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Well, Sun Mi………you incidentally ……… even when you saw me you pretended like you didn’t see me………..no matter how many other people are around you………you are not right to behave like that toward me………(He acts playfully disgusted …… He looks at Sun Mi with a lightly distorted face…………he runs and bangs his forehead against Sun Mi’s forehead)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: I feel like you have created a big emptiness inside me……….all the time I feel like something is empty and lonely……… But Sun Mi……… You act like nothing matters to you………You work just like you did in the past………you converse with anybody………. that is why I’m implicit………and have a cross temper.

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi fumbles with Hyun Chul’s suit collar with her hands)……………. Well……… really you don’t know……… fully about my heart ………don’t be like that please Hyun Chul…………………….

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………………………………

Sun Mi: I can’t show my inside feelings of love for you……… but that love is probably more big than ………your outward showing of feelings of love toward me

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul naturally wraps his arms around Sun Mi’s waist)

Sun Mi: Today, all day long………… do you know what kind of feeling I had today………..you confided in me and transferred me to the planning department……… so that is why for your sake as soon as possible I have to be acknowledged and work smoothly………so that is why I try to work very hard and busily……………………
But during those busy times……… I thought about you……… I can never stop my anxiety over you……….. I think “he is going to wait for my phone call”………. That “he is probably perplexed and going to miss me”………… I think like this and worry about you.

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………………………………………

Sun Mi: I thought about us………I did not only think about myself……… I thought “how can I ask him to transfer me to the planning department………”he can’t be without me”……….”I should have organized things better for him before I left for the planning department”…………….”Why do I worry about other peoples’ attention”………….”he is the most important person in my whole life”………..”How could I give up and transfer to the planning department”

Hyun Chul: (He softly rubs Sun Mi’s cheeks)

Sun Mi: In my own way I wrote a note down for the new secretary, Miss Lee ………… but I still feel like I missed some thing that I should have written to secretary Miss Lee……… about you……….about your feelings………. your schedule………to make sure that she knows to serve you different tastes of coffee or drink depending on your feel ………… Those matters secretary Miss Lee needs to learn…………..for example, if you come to your office the morning after drinking liquor the previous night………… Secretary Miss Lee may bring out coffee that will upset your stomach………then………. what can I do……thought like that worry me all the time

Hyun Chul: (He feels his heart begin to tremble……… like he is crumbling Sun Mi’s tight embrace)……………………….. Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She makes a delicate smile impressed by Hyun Chul’s heart)

Hyun Chul: ………………………… This time………once more your thoughts are better than my thoughts……………………………

(Outside Hyun Chul’s office door Hyun Chul and Sun Mi hear secretary Miss Lee return from her errands)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi hurriedly slips away from Hyun Chul’s chest……… Then straightens the appearance of her dress)………… I’m going to leave immediately

Hyun Chul: (He behaves dissatisfied………he just nods to his head)

Sun Mi: (She gets ready to leave Hyun Chul’s office when she suddenly turns around toward Hyun Chul……… Sun Mi runs up to Hyun Chul and gives him a kiss on the cheek…………Sun Mi brightly smiles at Hyun Chul, the extremely beautiful smile that only she has in the whole world)

Hyun Chul: (He look endlessly at his office door……… just a moment ago Sun Mi passed through it……….he feels like there is a lump inside his heart) Jin Sun Mi…………………….Jin Sun Mi…………..Jin Sun Mi…………Ah~~~~~~~~~~~Jin Sun Mi…………………………..

(He sits down in his seat………… and he manages to deal with some business matters that he put off until now……… His cheek become different from his feeling………little by little………his cheek flushes light red)

 

LOVELY YOU: Chapter 15, Part 1

 

#A BAR

Sun Dahl: Ahhhhh~~~~~~~ after finishing my duties and drinking one glass of alcohol………… this taste makes me feel like I’m living

Hyun Chul: (smiles)

Sun Dahl: These days Miss Sun Mi must be very busy………… I live in comfort by Miss Sun Mi’s absentness

Hyun Chul: (He slowly concentrates on his glass)…………..Yes, I guess

Sun Dahl: I always thought……………you would never transfer Miss Sun Mi to the planning department……………Yun Hyun Chul has absolutely progressed with giant steps

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………………………….

Sun Dahl: Hmm~~~~~~~ The planning department staff……………they all probably enjoy their work……………because Miss Sun Mi has joined forces with the planning department……………she is pretty, charming, and is also very bright…………… Do you know a Mr. Lee in the planning department…………he is my junior from high school…………well…………he told me that ever since Miss Sun Mi came to work in the planning department ……………every day he attends his office has turned out to be very pleasant

Hyun Chul: (Suddenly Hyun Chul’s eyes look at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl quietly pays attention to Hyun Chul’s attention)……………………..You better be careful.

Hyun Chul: Well……………tell him to take a cold shower and wake-up………….who does he think he’s looking at

Sun Dahl: (smiles)………………anyhow Mr. Chairman hasn’t said any words to you??………………the last time I met with him………………his intention was to get you married as soon as possible

Hyun Chul: Married………………(he smiles)……………well, I tell you…….…… lately I definitely feel worse………………after I turn my back on her, I miss her……………if I see her I want to hold her in my arms……………also I want to touch her………….

Sun Dahl: That is correctly the first stage symptoms of a serious illness that causes many bachelors to wish for marriage

Hyun Chul: ………………………… But……………I can’t marry Sun Mi yet

Sun Dahl: Why???? You don’t need to prepare a dowry like other people…………for you……………even if you decide to marry today……………you can marry Miss Sun Mi at once

Hyun Chul: How about you……………why haven’t you married Ju Hee yet?? You’ve already prepared a dowry…………you must be pretty much settled down to marry

Sun Dahl: (He makes a significant smile)

Hyun Chul: ?????

Sun Dahl: Sooner or later in every daily publication…………….my name will be printed side by side to Ju Hee’s name

Hyun Chul: ??…………………. Congratulations!!! Really congratulations Senior!!……………(Hyun Chul taps his drinking glass against Sun Dahl’s drinking glass)

Sun Dahl: (His expression looks so happy………….he could even lose his life and it wouldn’t matter)………… Thanks……………………….

Hyun Chul: (He makes a faint smile as he concentrates on his drink)

Sun Dahl: therefore…………you better fix the date for your marriage quickly……….. so ……………you won’t become unnecessarily jealous of me and cross tempered with me

Hyun Chul: …………………………I want to marry Sun Mi as soon as possible………………but I just can’t do that as of yet…………………

Sun Dahl: Well, Why not???

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi…………she’s still so young…………as well as……………….

Sun Dahl: What???? So young?? Did you just say Miss Sun Mi is too young???? I bet you that Miss Sun Mi is more mature than you………………………

Hyun Chul: (He looks lightly disapprovingly out of the corner of his eyes at Sun Dahl)

Sun Dahl: (He speaks ambiguously) Ok, Ok…………… What is the next reason??

Hyun Chul: (He adjusts his drinking glass)……………she will have to have time to fully work at her position in the planning department……………besides for the sake of me she gave up studying abroad……………she will have to start working again on her studies

Sun Dahl: (He looks at Hyun Chul with surprise)

Hyun Chul: Also, my heart has become complicated by…………Sun Mi’s father…………because of Sun Mi’s father…………for a long time he was by himself………and he lives only to watch over Sun Mi…………he raised SunMi into a lovely woman………. how can I take Sun Mi away instantly…………if I do that I will become a very regrettable person………………….

Sun Dahl: ………………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi hasn’t mentioned her father……………but I look at Sun Mi some times……………she looks like she is very much concerned about her father

Sun Dahl: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!! Now the person in front of me…………I’ve known Yun Hyun Chul for a long time…………that Yun Hyun Chul………… It is right??

Hyun Chul: What is the matter with you now………………………….

Sun Dahl: Nothing………… I was just thinking about when you became so prudent like this?? Besides I thought…………you were trying to make an unreasonable demand for Miss Sun Mi to marry you…………if you don’t succeed…………this time you must go somewhere like DOHG-DOH (a little island off the coast of South Korea).……………there you do the demonstration

Hyun Chul: What kind of person do you think I am…………………

Sun Dahl: How I think about you…………you are just Yun Hyun Chul as is……..

Hyun Chul: Oh good heavens…………………(suddenly flashing across Hyun Chul’s mind is someone’s much beloved face)

#A CONFERENCE ROOM

Hyun Chul: (like always…………before the meeting begins ………Hyun Chul looks around directly at the staff sitting around the conference table…………for a moment he settles his eyes on one place at the conference table…………absolutely like always Sun Mi takes her place to sit…………Hyun Chul once again moves his eyes to look around…………the sharp expression of his eyes command the atmosphere of the conference room…………Hyun Chul nods his head toward Supervisor Kim to signal for him to begin the meeting)

Supervisor Kim: Today we are going to share some discussions about…………coming next February, our broadcasting station is going to have a ceremony in honor of the memory of the MOOM YOUNG foundation…………… Miss Jin Sun Mi!!

Sun Mi: Yes!!…………(A moment after she puts things in order)…………about coming next February……….we will perform a ceremony for the MOOM YOUNG group foundation, this foundation celebrating 30 year anniversary…………this coming February will have very important meaning for the MOOM YOUNG group foundation…………this time every MOOM YOUNG department will come together………….in time to have a grand ceremony………at a singular and exceptional place through Ja-Ju-Doh

Hyun Chul: (The expression of his eyes was realistic………but Hyun Chul’s hiding face……….looks through at his beloved woman…………with Hyun Chul’s gentle and eager love…… around his whole body……he gazes at Sun Mi with a piercing look)

Sun Mi: It is probably for the celebration of the MOOM YOUNG group……… but we prearranged to invite many people from inside and outside the country to make the celebration place shine more bright………as a matter of course………one week before the celebration in honor of the MOOM YOUNG foundation memory…………… naturally…………we thought about all sorts of ways of celebrating MOOM YOUNG foundation culture and many archived images…………to show people from inside and outside the country……………especially with this section our department needs to perform a congratulatory part for MOOM YOUNG’s broadcasting

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi presentation and suggestions appearance scrupulously ………and self-possessed………Hyun Chul thought Sun Mi’s appearance was very praiseworthy and lovely……… Hyun Chul quietly put his head down and has a satisfied smile)

Sun Mi: For that period of time…………we are also going to open every day ceremony schedules to the public…………so our group’s main force for our important idea is to make the MOOM YOUNG group’s well acquainted image one more step closer to the general public………more certain to allow each person to have opportunities

(Hyun Chul’s eyes intensely look toward Sun Mi………Sun Mi meets Hyun Chul’s eyes and she become very nervous)

Hyun Chul: (He tries to avoid Sun Mi’s eyes…………he rests his chin on both of his hands on top of the desk…………and for a moment he sinks down like in some thought………but………for the sake of all the staff gazing steadily at Hyun Chul waiting for his conduct…………he once again straightens himself into the right position………then he sends an eye signal to continue the meeting)

Supervisor Kim: The planning department…………gives the order for this project to be handled by two staff members…………Miss Jin Sun Mi and assistant Mr. Lee Young Min

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!

Supervisor Kim: I think………so far we have time for composure………Miss Jun Sun Mi and assistant Mr. Lee, you two don’t mind preparing the best of it…………it is the duty of you two’s project to not make a failure of this matter………

Hyun Chul: (He tries to put both his hands on top of the desk)………….Well………I hear from Miss Jin Sun Mi’s presentation…………accordingly, the past ceremonies of honor for the memory of the foundation are nothing compared to this coming year ceremony of honor…………it must be we have to prepare for a very big ceremony …………Supervisor Kim you think only two staff members is enough to handle this project

Supervisor Kim: Yeah??

Hyun Chul: If you don’t mind then arrange one more staff…………so someone can help those two staff members………how about it Supervisor Kim

Supervisor Kim: Yes!! I understand Mr. Director!!……….. (for a moment he looks around ) Assistant Mr. Choi!! Assistant Mr. Choi you don’t mind helping those two staff members

Hyun Chul: (His eyes look toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (they cross each others’ eyes…………Sun Mi quickly puts down her head)

(The meeting is completed…………one by one the planning department staff leaves the conference room)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi still sits in her chair to put documents in order…………Hyun Chul slowly walks near toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi is aware Hyun Chul walks toward near Sun Mi………She makes a calm smile………she puts the remaining documents in order)

Hyun Chul: (He sits on top of the meeting table…………and crosses his arms)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi holds up her head to look at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul:…………………………………You did well indeed

Sun Mi: Really…………truly I did alright??

Hyun Chul: Mmm……………………(with the mix of color in his gentle eyes and a faint smile…………he gazes at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She quietly tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul get near to Sun Mi’s lips…………but …………his lips run softly down more toward Sun Mi’s neck- a deep kiss)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi gets up quietly from her sitting chair…………she picks up and holds her documents)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul takes the documents away from Sun Mi’s hands………then hides them behind his back…………his facial expression makes him look like a little rascal………… he bites his bottom lip softly)

Sun Mi: ……………………………… please give those documents to me

Hyun Chul: (He makes a hazy smile and shakes his head)

Sun Mi: (smiles)………………… please hurry up and give me those documents…………… (Sun Mi stretches her arms to reach out toward the documents behind Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi gets caught by Hyun Chul’s trap…………Hyun Chul wraps Sun Mi’s waist into his arms…………and gets up from his seat …………then slowly drives Sun Mi directly toward the wall)

Hyun Chul gently pushes down his lips toward Sun Mi’s lips
Different from her head, little by little Sun Mi falls into Hyun Chul’s temptation…………Sun Mi feels a light tremble of fear…………she wraps her arms around Hyun Chul’s neck………a composed smile floats to Hyun Chul’s face without hurry…………. gently he spins his lips round toward Sun Mi’s lips……… but in less than a moment…………he become little by little pulled in deep………Hyun Chul’s hands slightly trembles as he wraps Sun Mi in his arms

#IN FRONT OF SUN MI’S HOUSE

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at the bright light turning on in Sun Mi’s house)………… Jin Sun Mi!! I’m going to feel regrettable

Sun Mi: Huh??

Hyun Chul: Already for a few of months…………I have been coming and going in front of your house…………but you never even once invited me to come inside your house…………and don’t even offer to have one cup of tea……….especially, you never even bother to ask me about when I’m going to greet your father…………

Sun Mi: (She behaves like she feels very sorry………she puts her head down with a hazy smile)

Hyun Chul: What are you going to do?? Are you going to let me leave today just like any other day??

Sun Mi: (She looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Why won’t you let me meet your daddy…………………….

Sun Mi: Well, then now you certainly want to meet my daddy??

Hyun Chul: (He nods his head)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi acts very embarrassed) Hyun Chul…………………………………

Hyun Chul: Why?? I’m not supposed meet your daddy??

Sun Mi: No not that…………it is just excessively all of the sudden…………I didn’t have any chance to prepare anything

Hyun Chul: Prepare for what?? Ahhh Haaaa~~~~~ this morning ………before you went to your office you must have made a mess in your room, right?? That is why you are embarrassed to show me your house …………don’t you??

Sun Mi: No, it is not like that.

Hyun Chul: Then what?? You think your father is going to be provoking ………… are you worried about that??

Sun Mi: (smiles)…………………..alright………I’ll let you go………we will go in together

Hyun Chul: Yes, you should listen to me earlier……………(he grasps Sun Mi’s hand)…………actually I want to introduce………you properly to my parents…………before that ………… I should go ahead at the present time and greet your father…………that is the right formalities

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Ah~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m very nervous……………you told me your father has tiger-like principals (toward Sun Mi………Hyun Chul properly fixes his position)……………How about my appearance now?? Do I look all right??

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi smiles and adjusts Hyun Chul’s dress)…………you look wonderful………don’t worry about it.

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul softly kisses Sun Mi’s forehead) let’s go!!

#INSIDE SUN MI’S HOUSE: THE LIVING ROOM

Hyun Chul: (He is extremely nervous as he tightly clenches his fist……… He remains sitting in a stiff position)

Gyu Sung: (He gazes at Hyun Chul with a little stern eyes)

Sun Mi: (She looks one by one in rotation at Hyun Chul and her father………She also becomes nervous and feels trembling)

Hyun Chul: (He throws his energy into opening his mouth) I would have come earlier to pay a visit to greet you………I’m very regrettable for this late greeting………Fa~~ther

Gyu Sung: Oh now you know!! If by the end of this year you didn’t come step inside my house…………I thought from now on for about five years I’m not going to let you have my daughter!!

Hyun Chul: (His heart comes down to his lap……….he tries more tightly to clench his fist)

Gyu Sung: You must be my daughter’s direct supervision boss right…………this fall my daughter came home from her work very late all the time…………by some chance………since that time did you already have a different thought…………didn’t you hold my daughter until very late all time??

Sun Mi: (She acts embarrassed) Daddy!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: No Sir!! I did not do that

Gyu Sung: (He stares for a long time at Hyun Chul’s face)……….would you like a drink??

Hyun Chul: Yes, sure!! Of course, I will take some drink!!

Gyu Sung: Sun Mi………go and get some drinks for us

Sun Mi: Daddy………Mr. Hyun Chul brought his car to drive………why don’t you drink next time…………it is already getting late…………

Gyu Sung: What do you think?? How about it??

Hyun Chul: That is all right Sir!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Hyun Chul!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (He tries to twist his nose to show Sun Mi he does not mind)

Gyu Sung: (He doesn’t miss with his eyes Hyun Chul’s signal toward Sun Mi)

(Sun Mi doesn’t have a choice………she walks toward the kitchen)

Gyu Sung: Well………how much is your drinking capacity??

Hyun Chul: Well Sir………it depends on the atmosphere and feeling………. But I didn’t have the experience to be intoxicated by drink…………so I can’t give an exact answer to you.

Gyu Sung: You say you have never had an experience of being intoxicated…………like that??

Hyun Chul: No sir………I have once experienced being intoxicated

Gyu Sung: just once??

Hyun Chul: Yes Sir!!

Gyu sung: What reason?? Of course if you don’t want………you don’t have to tell me

Hyun Chul: I misunderstood someone……….. I thought someone was trying to leave me ………I thought I was never going to see her again………so that is why I drank

Gyu Sung: are you trying to tell me??………that there is someone at your side now ??

Hyun chul: Yes sir ……… extremely close by my side

(Hyun Chul’s white and clean eyes are full of sincerity…………Gyu Sung’s eyes take a serious good look at Hyun Chul…………for a moment their eyes meet)

Gyu Sung: as a matter of course as men…………we sure know how to appreciate the taste of one glass of alcohol…………that is why I can call a real thing a man……… from time to time someone causes…………us to crumble…………and become drowned into a state of lethargy…………Ha Ha Ha

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul has a doubt about his ears………what did he just listen to……… then he begins to slowly release his nervousness)

In the between the two men give and take a glass of drink…………already Gyu Sung becomes intoxicated…………as now Gyu Sung faces Hyun Chul with quite a comfortable attitude…………he continues to offer drinks to Hyun Chul…………..Hyun Chul looks like he feels extremely good……….he drinks every time Gyu Sung offers a drink to him………his appearance looks like he trying to do the best he can

Sun Mi: (She looks very worried toward these two peoples’ appearance)……….please stop drinking…Huh??

Gyu Sung: Oh boy really………Jin Sun Mi, you’re being so bothersome………if you are going to continue to be bothersome then you must go upstairs……… Mr. Yun, Sun Mi is a little bothersome…………also I tell you she doesn’t know how to have fun too

Hyun Chul: (smiles) Yes sir…………she’s no fun to be around

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks lightly disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

Gyu Sung: as I look at her facial expression…………she is concerned about you and does for the sake of you…………fine ………… take one last ………just one more glass………

Hyun Chul: Yes sir……………………(He politely receives the glass from Guy Sung then holds it up and drinks)

Gyu Sung: (with a long sigh)………… Mr. Yun………………my daughter Sun Mi…………I have confidence that you give dearly and love her

Sun Mi: Daddy…………………

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………………………………

Gyu Sung: She lost her mother when she was very young…………she grew up very lonely………….and yet so far as now her behavior has never even once been troublesome………she never complains about anything …………rather she worries about me………and put my things in order for me……….she is like that…………

Hyun Chul: (His heart feels like it has a deafening pain………….he gazes at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi has large drops of tears…………she can’t bear anymore………she runs quickly toward upstairs)

Gyu Sung: (His eyes are moved to tears………… He gazes at a distant place)

#SUN MI’S ROOM

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul comes into Sun Mi’s room………Sun Mi quickly wipes away her tears and turns her head around)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul has a vague smile…………he once looks around Sun Mi’s room…………at one side corner of her bed………Sun Mi sits squatted down………Sun Mi’s appearance makes Hyun Chul feel pain and the tip of his nose becomes numb)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s silence………. makes Sun Mi try to lift up her head………then her eyes meet with Hyun Chul’s eyes………. she quickly avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul sit astride Sun Mi’s bed………he draws Sun Mi near him into a firm embrace……….he keeps patting his tender and kind hand toward Sun Mi’s back)

Sun Mi: U~~~Hu~~~(She sobs)…………(once again she can’t hold her tears as they quickly rise………she buries her face into Hyun Chul’s chest…………during those past times she couldn’t express her pain…………. she pours her tears immeasurably all at once)

Hyun Chul: (with moisture in his eyes………he tries more tightly to embrace Sun Mi)

(A moment later)

Sun Mi: (She acts a little calm………she comes out from Hyun Chul’s chest)……….. I’m sorry.

Hyun Chul: (He tries to completely wipe away Sun Mi’s left over moisture from her tears) I became intoxicated by drinking your father’s offers…………. and I also became intoxicated by Jin Sun Mi’s tear………. Ah~~~~~~~ what a fascinating night tonight was

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi gazes dumbfounded toward Hyun Chul………then she just smiles)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul brings his face closely toward Sun Mi) oh, my goodness…………finally, Jun Sun Mi makes a smile!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (once again Hyun Chul’s action makes Sun Mi smile………as she gazes at Hyun Chul’s kind eyes) Why don’t you drink according to the situation of my father’s intention…………..just because my father offered………didn’t mean you had to take every glass of drink

Hyun Chul: Well what could I do…………if I want to bring Jin Sun Mi back with me then I don’t have any choice but comply…………if I didn’t do as your father wished………then maybe as your father mentioned, from now on it would be about ten years before I can have Sun Mi…………then what can I do

Sun Mi: (her face turns lightly red……… and end up going down her head)

Hyun Chul: (He gently takes Sun Mi’s face in his hands…………and holds up Sun Mi’s face toward to look at him………then he gives Sun Mi unlimited affectionate eyes) well actually I’m very delighted today…………for what reason………every time your father handed me a drink………I thought………that each glass had a meaning of your father’s approval and acceptance of me………..and that your father sincerely requested me to hold you dearly………that is …….that is why I’m really happy tonight

Sun Mi: (once again her eyes become slightly wet) Hyun Chul……………………

Hyun Chul: In this place………the first man to step into…………Jin Sun Mi’s only space………is me right??

Sun Mi: Yes……………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: Woa~~~~ Really tonight was………….and continues to be fascinating………maybe add one more thing to this………then certainly it will become perfect

Sun Mi: (She avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes)………… isn’t about time for you to go home …………aren’t you tired

Hyun Chul: (He pulls Sun Mi nearer to him………slowly brings their cheeks into contact) oh boy!! You don’t have any mood……………you just try to drive me away……….don’t you………no you can’t

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………

Hyun Chul with an endearing manner rubs his cheek against Sun Mi’s cheek……… Hyun Chul smoothly goes up Sun Mi’s face………for a little while Hyun Chul’s lips stop and Sun Mi firmly shuts her eyes as before, there is unchanged wetness around her eyes………then Hyun Chul directly runs after the traces of Sun Mi’s tear………Hyun Chul gently fumbles down Sun Mi’s face

Hyun Chul intoxication has sharpened stimulation……… of his own accord he tries to control himself………he stops then he continues………..before he is aware he runs into Sun Mi’s lips………..in the end together with a feeling of wanting…………gently he takes his lips away from Sun Mi’s lips

Hyun Chul: It is too late right……….(shakily he gets up from his spot)…….. I guess I better go home

Sun Mi: (She gets up from her spot to follow Hyun Chul………as she can’t hold up her head)

Hyun Chul: Don’t come out………… I think if I see you outside to send me off, I don’t think I can leave for home as is……………I am going to greet your father………. then I’m going to leave.

Sun Mi: (Somehow tonight even Sun Mi herself doesn’t have self-confidence to look at him and sends him off with the sight of his back)…………Yes, I understand………be careful going home

Hyun Chul: (He just nods his head)

Hyun Chul doesn’t want to part from Sun Mi…………but he leaves behind Sun Mi and he demands himself to step toward home………as he feels he has become a little more closer to Sun Mi’s heart ………that is why he feels blissful now………but like Sun Mi’s father mentioned………for many long years Sun Mi resolve is lonely itself………Hyun Chul feels a strongly painful feeling cross the corner of his to what he tought

And now he himself thought like ………it is about time to have a place where he can watch over Sun Mi, a reliable and warm comfortable place for her to confide in him…………….out of the blue he stops walking and looks out over to the dark gloomy sky……… Hyun Chul makes a hazy smile………his eyes once again see Sun Mi’s appearance rise into the sky.

#HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

Min Chul: (Min Chul walks into Hyun Chul’s condo carrying his weary body………he just collapses onto Hyun Chul’s couch)

Hyun Chul: Yun Min Chul!!!!! …………(He knows Min Chul has come to his condo after a few day without taking a break) no matter how tired you are……… take off your clothes and fully clean yourself …… then go to sleep

Min Chul: (He cushions his body deeply against a pillow)………Ahhhh~~~~~~ leave me alone………I’m too tired to do anything

Hyun Chul: (He feels sorry for Min Chul) Why don’t you go home to relax………Why did you come here…………if mother finds out how you didn’t take a break for a few days…………She will take very good care of you

Min Chul: that is why I came here………. I feel like I’m a burden on mother………and I feel very regrettable toward mother for how she tries to take care of me

Hyun Chul: all right I get it………… I’ll try to handle my mind this once………….you don’t have to take a shower………… just get up quickly and pay attention

Min Chul: (He turns his body over from laying down on his back) Ha Ah~~~~~ there are people who live without cleaning their bodies……………they don’t even have to eat

Hyun Chul: Huh Ah!! I tell you also don’t have to love someone……………

Min Chul: (smiles)………No……… that subject is absolutely without question……… I, Yun Min Chul……… without my love………I can’t survive even for one day. Umm ~~~~~ I miss Je Uhn very much…………………….

Hyun Chul: (He also misses Sun Mi very much……… He makes a faint smile then he moves toward the bathroom)………….. Get up quickly!!

Min Chul: big brother…………….do you have any plans for this coming Christmas??

Hyun Chul: Christmas?? (His eyes look toward the calendar)……… oh my goodness!! As a matter of fact Christmas is only one week away………… well ………how am I going to spend Christmas??

Min Chul: big brother!! Don’t you have any good plans ………with Miss Sun Mi

Hyun Chul: Not yet………..

Min Chul: I’ll be completely finished making the film………… I’m not going to be busy during Christmas time……….. What do you think?? Let us get together with Ju Uhn and Miss Sun Mi……… then we all can go to Yahng-Pyeong villa??

Hyun Chul: Just like old times??

Min Chul: Yes just like old times………. We’ve dispersed in all directions because of work or study………. I don’t remember how long it’s been since we were together at Christmas time

Hyun Chul: Yes, it sure has………. I think I understand………. I’m going to talk to Sun Mi

#A LOBBY

On a winter day the sun goes down early.
Before anyone is aware………the sunlight hands down the lengthy lobby on a warm afternoon…….

Hyun Chul: (after finishing a meeting………Hyun Chul unintentionally walks toward the lobby…………suddenly in front of Hyun Chul’s eyes, Sun Mi unexpectedly appears out of nowhere)

With a speedy walk ………Sun Mi walked magnificently ………the sunlight leans down against her back………Sun Mi’s two piece full dress floats over the curves of her lovely body………from the waist………somewhere under the waist………then little by little ………Hyun Chul’s eyes go down…………he makes a quiet smile.

For a moment in front of Hyun Chul’s eyes appears an emergency exit………Hyun Chul quickly follows Sun Mi………he snatches Sun Mi at the waist with a jerk ………then he hides them in the emergency exit passage

Sun Mi: (just clings to a wall……… Sun Mi’s eyes become round with surprise)

Hyun Chul: (He acts like he is enjoying this……….he gazes at Sun Mi’s face with fixed eyes)

Sun Mi: You scared me…………well…………why all of a sudden did you scare me like this

Hyun Chul: You know how much I’m fascinated by your appearance from the back………. I can’t control myself

Sun Mi: (She scowls at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (with gentle eyes…………Hyun Chul glances at Sun Mi)
Don’t come to work wearing this kind of tight clothes…………. without me………no other people can look at you like this

Sun Mi: Mr.Yun Hyun Chul!!!

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

Sun Mi: ……………………Did you come here after finishing the meeting??

Hyun Chul: Umm………. (Hyun Chul leans his back against the wall………side by side next to Sun Mi)…………Sun Mi………Do you want to travel with me at Christmas time??

Sun Mi: Huh?? Travel??

Hyun Chul: We’ll go to Yahng-Pyeong villa………spend one wonderful night there and then come back…………how about it??

Sun Mi: …………………only ……………just the two of us??

Hyun Chul: (He pulls nearer to Sun Mi…………so that Sun Mi stands straight in front of him…………then he acts calm) Of course!! Just the two of us ……………is there someone else you think should go besides us??

Sun Mi: ……………………… Well…………….……………………..

Hyun Chul: You look like you don’t want to go………………..then we shouldn’t go then??

Sun Mi: (She is unable to reply those questions)

Hyun Chul: don’t worry!! ……. I’m not going to give you a hard time

Sun Mi: (She lightly scowls at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (He pulls Sun Mi’s nose slightly)………you are very easily fooled by me……… I do not even enjoy playing a joke on you…………don’t worry about it…………Min Chul and Je Uhn will go together with us………….

Sun Mi: !!!…………………………(She looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul……… then she just smiles)

Hyun chul: Anyhow ……………….you know you will come to me as soon as possible

Sun Mi: Well………let me see ………don’t you know nobody can guarantee the future

Hyun Chul: Yes!! I can guarantee our future………….Jin Sun Mi is absolutely Yun Hyun Chul’s woman……………therefore……………it doesn’t matter what kind of matter she has…………precisely she will come to me in the future.

Sun Mi: Don’t you know Mr. Yun Hyun Chul ………you have too much self-confidence!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (His eyes become as playful)………Sun Mi…………you are a lot different from modern day women…………if you wear Korean costume clothes………you are sure to be a woman of the Chosun period (time period of the last Korean king)

Sun Mi: …………………… What do you mean by that??

Hyun Chul: What I’m trying to say………you are most sublime and obedient to serve only one person………already I take a hold of your hand…………well………not only that………I embrace you………and even I kiss you………you defiantly can’t think about trying to leave me……………..

Sun Mi: (She became quietly annoyed by Hyun Chul’s comments)………. How …… how can …….you look at me like that……….I’m also the same as modern woman

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul thought Sun Mi was quite lovely………he tried to bring his face close to Sun Mi)…………………………… Oh?? really???

Sun Mi: Y~~es~~ of course I am

Hyun Chul: (His expression becomes like a little rascal)……….. Oh yes I get it……… What are you telling me…………Jin Sun Mi is the same as women today……….In that case …………you must have had a boyfriend before?? (he naturally assumes that she hasn’t had a boyfriend before)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s high and mighty attitude and self-indulgence makes Sun Mi think that she can’t leave in the same way as before) Well then ………someone as good looking as me………you don’t think I have had one boyfriend until now……………………..

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (a moment later Sun Mi became aware of Hyun Chul’s face rising with shock)

Hyun Chul: …………are you trying unnecessarily to remark at me?? Right??

Sun Mi: No I’m not!!

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Well………I better leave as soon as possible……………………

Hyun Chul: (He grasps Sun Mi’s arms firmly) really………you had a boyfriend before!!!!!

Sun Mi: How many times are you going to ask me the same question……………I did have!! I did have a boyfriend before!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s face becomes pure white and more hard) How deep was you and your boyfriends relationship??

Sun Mi: What is it you want to know!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: the truth!!!!

Sun Mi: What’s truth????

Hyun Chul: Don’t change the subject and tell me the truth!!! How close were you to your old boyfriend!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul, I didn’t know that you’re this narrow-minded…………why do you press me for answers to questions about past times…………I ask are you this kind of person!!

Hyun Chul: Just tell me the truth!!!!!

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi sees Hyun Chul’s face turn many-colors………….she thinks maybe she did too much to Hyun Chul………… but for some reason she feels like she needs to give Hyun Chul a stiff lesson) I really don’t know ……… what would you really like to know ………… surely not ………you don’t just think …… I went everywhere only just holding my old boyfriend’s hand………do you!!!

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!! ………(He is too shocked…………he can’t even express any words ………he feels like someone tried to hit him in the head)

Sun Mi: Well now are you satisfied!! Do you have………any more questions to ask me??

Hyun Chul: (He feels extremely betrayed by Sun Mi………he looks sternly at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: I’m going to leave first!! (She barely can control herself from wanting to laugh …………she turns her back)

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………………….. !!

 

 

LOVELY YOU: Chapter 15, Part 3

 


#GOING TOWARD YAHNG PYEONG VILLA (inside Min Chul’s car)

Since that day…………Hyun Chul feels very confused.
He feels like he wants to withdraw from the trip to YAHNG PYEONG…………He unavoidably steps forward to follow Min Chul…………Hyun Chul ignores Min Chul and Je Uhn’s proposal that he should sit together alone with Sun Mi in the back seat of the car…………instead, he just sits next to Min Chul who is driving…………his expression is like as a little child pouting…………Hyun Chul occasionally looks through the rearview mirror to observe Sun Mi’s appearance …………they accidentally cross each other eyes ………then he heartlessly turns his eyes away

#YAHNG PYEONG VILLA (Sun Mi and Je Uhn’s Room)

Je Uhn: Miss Sun Mi!! Do you have some problem with brother Hyun Chul??
All along the way coming to this place…………you two didn’t say a word to each other…………Brother Hyun Chul behaved…………like very go forth into crooked deed

Sun Mi: I am sorry, for making a vague atmosphere…………but it’s not that important………….Don’t worry about it so much Miss Je Uhn.

Je Uhn: In any case…………Do you have some problem with brother Hyun Chul??

Sun Mi: Yes………(she smiles)………….Before long every problem will be made all right

Je Uhn: Well that will make me feel relieved……….(She looks down and out the window)………. Ahhh ~~~~~~ I remember the old days………before we went to study abroad and everyone became scattered…………it was a matter of course to not just come here on Christmas…………we also came every weekend…………we all came often down to this place

Sun Mi: (She stares out the window along side Je Uhn)…………I am…………very envious of Miss Je Uhn

Je Uhn: (She looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: For a very long time…………You had your own matters with Mr. Min Chul…………and you probably have many memories with him………Hyun Chul and I are…………barely beginning our relationship now.

Je Uhn: Well I try to describe us as husband and wife………Mr. Min Chul and I…………for about ten years we have lived as husband and wife………Miss Sun Mi and brother Hyun Chul………Hmmm…………It is better to describe you two as a honeymoon couple.

Sun Mi: (She make a smile and nods her head)

Je Uhn: when I became aware a man called Yun Min Chul………he is like my need to eat a meal………and my need to breath………for me………he has become a natural existence person…….……well………not like he sometimes exists………but rather, under no circumstances, I can’t handle being without his existence………he’s that kind of person!! Gee~~~~~~~ My talk is too mushy, it gives me goose-bumps

Sun Mi: No, Miss Je Uhn…………absolutely not

Je Uhn: But some time we each are excessively aware of every thing about ourselves…………so time to time we don’t have to enjoy each other………also- this is absolutely our secret………he becomes bothersome to me

(Sun Mi and Je Uhn laugh like they are in a good mood)

Sun Mi: How soon I can see……….the motion picture Mr. Min Chul personally produced…………these days it seems that young (new face) film director’s productions ………are received very favorably…………well………it’s good to see Mr. Min Chul soon joining that kind of rank and become a popular film director……

Je Uhn: Yes, of course he has to………Miss Sun Mi do you know what kind of dream I have??

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………………………

Je Uhn: (Her face blushes a little)……….For a moment………call Min Chul by the name………the best film director of the academy………and in front of the camera firmly filling up the picture so that everyone in the whole world can see………I wish to passionately kiss Min Chul.

Sun Mi: (She looks at Je Uhn and for a little while she makes a smile) …………I even think that it would be wonderful…………I know you are going to make it…………yes, of course you will…………

Je Uhn: Thanks…………anyhow………you think about how soon you are going to marry brother Hyun Chul?? Don’t delay too much…………you think about how we are waiting behind you and brother Hyun chul.

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Je Uhn: Miss Sun Mi………you are younger than I am…………but you are more precocious than I am………so far I don’t have a suitable way to address you………so in the same way as before I will just call you by your name…………but after you get married to brother Hyun Chul ………that day………I’m going to certainly call you……… Sister-in-law!! Like that

Sun Mi: (She behaves bashfully) Miss Je Uhn………………

Je Uhn: By the way………I wonder if these guys are going to prepare the food properly.………let us go down and look??

Sun Mi: Yes……………………………….

#THE KITCHEN

Min Chul: Big brother!! What on earth………do you mind, are you really going to help me or not?? I don’t know what is the matter with you……….but thinking about your mood………I tried to take care of the whole menu…………and just asked you to peel one vegetable………what on earth………what is this!!!! You peeled away the whole thing……….what am I going to use if I need a vegetable!!!!

Hyun Chul: (He acts like he is not listening)

Min Chul: You came to this place to have fun, so put aside those past matters for a little while………don’t you think you should enjoy it as is…………all day long you didn’t even talk and behaved very distant……….Now you behave like you idle your time away trying not to help me…………tell me!! What kind of matter do you have with Miss Sun Mi……….what on earth is wrong with you??

Hyun Chul: You don’t have to be concerned about this matter…………you just concentrate on your cooking (He puts down the knife he is holding in his hand………then he walks toward the kitchen exit)

Min Chul: Big brother, are you really going to behave like this!!

(At that time Sun Mi and Je Uhn enter the kitchen)

Je Uhn: Mmmm~~~~~~~~~ smell’s good …………the tasty smell of food is oscillating throughout the room………when are we going to get to try this sumptuous smelling meal??

Min Chul: I don’t know you can ask big brother!!

Je Uhn: Huh??

Min Chul: The helper is worthless…………I don’t know if there will be any dinner by tonight for all of us to enjoy!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul turns his face away from everyone’s eyes keenly staring at him…………he walks out of the kitchen)

Sun Mi: (She feels unnecessarily regrettable toward Min Chul and Je Uhn………she quickly rolls up her sleeves………then she carries on taking Hyun Chul’s place at the vegetables………she begins to work)

Without Hyun Chul……………the sound of three people drumming and twanging continue…………then they set up a dinner table…………Min Chul and Je Uhn act delightfully enjoying dinner…………Hyun Chul’s behavior remains unchanged, like a tantrum…………Sun Mi tries to pay attention to Hyun Chul…………one side of Sun Mi’s heart feels anger…………the other side enjoys Hyun Chul’s behavior…………there is only their Christmas eve………as they finish dinner little by little

Min Chul: Well let us designate tasks…………Je Uhn and I are going to decorate the Christmas tree…………Big brother and Miss Sun Mi you two can start washing the dishes and take care of the aftermath events please

Sun Mi: Yes, alright Mr. Min Chul…………Don’t worry about here………you and Miss Je Uhn can go ahead and leave

(A moment later)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul sits in his seat with his both his arms folded across his chest…………his face is absent of expression)

Sun Mi: (one and two………Sun Mi gathers together the empty plates and carries them into the kitchen for washing)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul unavoidably gets up from his seat and tries to help…………but he makes noisy sounds when colliding the plates)

Sun Mi: …………………You don’t have to help me…………………if you are tired then I don’t mind if you go up stairs to take a rest.

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s remark makes Hyun Chul more angry…………he looks at Sun Mi with unfavorable eyes…………then he leaves the room with a cold action)

Sun Mi: (from Sun Mi’s mouth comes a small sigh)
(After that Sun Mi can hear Hyun Chul’s footsteps in the din going toward and up the stairs)

Sun Mi by herself arranges the kitchen…………in the living room…………Min Chul and Je Uhn together laugh cheerfully…………from time to time they stealthily kiss each other as they decorate the Christmas tree…………Hyun Chul’s face is hard and tense as he firmly shuts his bedroom door closed………………..

(It is snowing!!!!!! Snow is coming down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Min Chul and Je Uhn shout out full of excitement.
At once………there is the sound of Min Chul and Je Uhn’s footsteps going across the living room…………then the sound of front door opening………within a moment there is silence

#THE LIVING ROOM

Min Chul and Je Uhn in the middle of decorating the Christmas tree…………rushed to run on snowy field carrying on and spending their time together…………Sun Mi looks firmly at the incomplete Christmas tree…………then she begins to decorate the side that Min Chul and Je Uhn left undecorated

A noisy sound comes down the stairs…………Hyun Chul concentrates his ear to hear. Only the sound of the snow falling………….there is only silence inside the villa…………Hyun Chul feels like he can’t handle it anymore…………Hyun Chul comes down the stairs.

Sun Mi: (the sound of Hyun Chul’s footstep makes Sun Mi hesitate for a moment……… she pretends like she doesn’t know he is there………she continues to decorate the Christmas tree)

Hyun Chul: Where is Min Chul and Je Uhn??

Sun Mi: they went outside………………

Hyun Chul: Why are you decorating the Christmas tree!! Decorating the Christmas tree was their responsibility!!

Sun Mi: There is nothing wrong with anybody doing this…………It doesn’t matter if I decorate the Christmas tree pretty this is good enough for me……………..

Hyun Chul: Leave that Christmas tree alone!!

Sun Mi: I don’t know when those two are going to come back………Don’t you think this Christmas tree needs to be decorated…………and finished by tonight

Hyun Chul: I said leave that Christmas tree as is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She looks at Hyun Chul with resentment………….then she walks toward the entrance)

Hyun Chul: Where are you going!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: I want to go out and get some fresh air!! Are you satisfied!!!!!

# OUTSIDE THE VILLA

Sun Mi walks without a plan…………… before she is aware Sun Mi begins to cry…………Hyun Chul urgently follows after Sun Mi out the door.…………then he hurriedly runs after Sun Mi……………….Hyun Chul grabs Sun Mi’s arm to turn her around to face him

Hyun Chul: You don’t even know the roads very well in this place……………what on earth!!!!!! Where are you trying to go……….at this late time of night…………when it is snowing like this.

Sun Mi: What do you care!! You hate me!! You don’t want see me!! That is why I’m going to get out of your way!!

Hyun Chul: Don’t talk like you are fool!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Don’t shout at me!!!

Hyun Chul: (He grabs Sun Mi’s arms………then leads her somewhere)

Sun Mi: (She tries to take her arm out of Hyun Chul’s grasp) Let me go!!!! Let go of me!!!!

At the top of the hill………there is one huge tree that stands alone its branches are piled fully with snow…………by looks and size………that tree can embrace fully the lower part of village…………it looks affectionate and loving

Sun Mi: (She tries with all her strength to break loose from Hyun Chul’s hand……… then looks at Hyun Chul with daggers in her eyes)

Hyun Chul: From now on………you have to listen to my words very carefully………if you don’t listen………I’m going to leave by myself without you

Sun Mi: (Her eyes fill with tears)

Hyun Chul: The road is too winding………it is absolutely impossible to go down by yourself to the lower part of the village…………in the middle of the night…………maybe you can’t even see a tiger jump out…………………………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………………………..

Hyun Chul: Please come close to me!!!!

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: I tell you, please come close to me!! You are not going to listen to me!!!!!

Sun Mi: (suddenly Sun Mi squats down……….. then she eagerly gathers snow together to make a large snowball…………..she proceeds to throw it with all her strength at Hyun Chul’s chest)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks down his chest………then looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: That snowball I threw a moment ago was because…………I’m trying to punish you for you thinking that I’m just a ridiculous person!! (She once more makes another snowball then she throws it at Hyun Chul)……… that one was…………because I’m trying to punish you for acting narrow-minded!! (She makes another snowball………then throws it at Hyun Chul with all her strength)……….and that one………is because I’m angry at you…………(She sobs)

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………………………………….

Sun Mi: (continuing to sob)

Hyun Chul: ………………………………Are you finished punishing me………then now you should forgive me right??

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (He approaches close to Sun Mi………. then gently embraces her)

Sun Mi: (She behaves spiteful………she tries to push Hyun Chul away………then she lightly hits Hyun Chul’s chest……….within a moment Sun Mi becomes silent ………and tightly holds into Hyun Chul’s shoulder)

Hyun Chul: ……………… I’m sorry………I’m really sorry……………. From the beginning I was angry at you…………but after a little time past………I was beginning to the be angry at myself more…………I thought about…………my behavior as only this much I can handle as a narrow-mind person…………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………………………….

Hyun Chul: It doesn’t matter what happened to you before………. the important thing is ……… is your appearance at the present time……… I should be thankful in this way…………. for your pretty and lovely appearance appears in front of me…………… Ahhhhh~~~~~~~~~ even I think about me and I’m very spiteful………(He grabs Sun Mi’s hand……… then he takes Sun Mi’s hand toward his chest to tap at him)………………….. Yun Hyun Chul you are detestable!! Really detestable!!

Sun Mi: (She become bursts out with mixed sounds of laughter and crying………. She just buries her head into Hyun Chul’s chest)

(A moment later……… not for usefulness………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul try to shake the snow off of each others head and shoulders)

Hyun Chul: (with both his hands, he rubs Sun Mi’s cheeks) Are you cold??

Sun Mi: (she nods her head)

Hyun Chul: (passes his finger-tips over Sun Mi’s lips…………then he softly pinches Sun Mi’s cheek)………………. No matter how much I think about it…………….those words carries on too much.

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Do I think you went everywhere only just holding your old boyfriend’s hand ………… Those words!!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!

Hyun Chul: Well………. I’m just saying as it is……………………..

Sun Mi: (She tries to part from Hyun Chul a little……… then she gazes at the lower part of village)…………. It is about my days in high school

Hyun Chul: !! ……………… What!!! High school!!!!……………(once again he begins to become stimulated) I’m trying to pass through this matter as it is………but I cannot possibly just forget it as if it is nothing………………you did those kinds of things at that young age………. Oh boy!! Jin Sun Mi!!!! Now I see you were very mature very early

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: Why do you smile!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: My daddy’s students………many of daddy’s boy student were fond of me………. One boy among those students……… He acted very unusual introspectively……… and was very shy

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul become jealous at being unable to see the person ……… his appearance becomes hard)

Sun Mi: occasionally he followed behind me as I was coming home from school…………sometimes he secretly pushed a letter inside my front gate……….like that………but actually in front of me…………He couldn’t even say a single word to me

Hyun Chul: …………………………………………………….

Sun Mi: ………………………….It was the morning of Valentine’s day…………. I just came out from my front gate………..when all of a sudden he tries to make me hold a bundle of red roses in my arms………………and then

Hyun Chul: (He becomes tense)

Sun Mi: He quickly kissed my cheek………and recklessly he ran away as fast as he could

Hyun Chul: Oh boy!! I didn’t know there is this kind of empty brained person in existence!!!!!! So for that reason you began to meet with him at that time!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: No, after that day I could not find him to meet at all……….. I heard afterwards ……… straight the very next day……….. he left to immigrate to AMERICA

Hyun Chul: !!!!!

Sun Mi: (She is absorbed in recollecting upon the past………she makes a vague smile)

Hyun Chul: That is all??

Sun Mi: Yes

Hyun Chul: Do you occasionally think about those times don’t you??

Sun Mi: Yes, sometimes

Hyun Chul: Then, Sun Mi you also have some feelings………existing in your heart toward him

Sun Mi: Well, I guess I maybe…………….

Hyun Chul: What!!!!!………………(He holds up Sun Mi in his arms to carry her easily)……… Tell me again!! Do you really have feelings toward him??

Sun Mi: Let me down Hyun Chul!!

Hyun Chul: Hurry tell me!!

Sun Mi: Fine, I truly have feelings toward him then………you think I’m going to tell you everything about this matter……… I’m just going to hide it inside and keep it to myself

Hyun Chul: Those words mean…………you are directly telling me that you still haven’t told me about the whole matter………are you trying to tell me that there is more information about this matter to have

Sun Mi: Well, maybe………………….

Hyun Chul: Well, maybe?? Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!! It this your punishment!!!!!!!!!!!!

As he holds Sun Mi in his arms………Hyun Chul lets his body fall toward the snowy field………… Hyun Chul and Sun Mi sink deep into the snowy field and make a deep hole………Hyun Chul passionately moves his lips toward Sun Mi’s lips
For a brief instant …………Their appearance turns into the same color as the surroundings snow…………they enjoy like a snow festival………Hyun Chul feels his heart content for Sun Mi……….each time snowy-white steam of breath leak out of Hyun Chul’s gesture…….there is only the sound of Hyun Chul’s breath makes it unbearable……….there……..only remains those two lovely people

#THE FRONT OF THE EDITING DEPARTMENT

Sun Mi: (She tries to open the department door……… from the other side of the department door someone stealthily moves backward)

Woo Jin: (His face turns quickly bright looking) Hello!! Miss Sun Mi!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Woo Jin………………………..

Woo Jin: What brings you to this place??

Sun Mi: Well………… I come here to make a request

Woo Jin: Do you need something from the editing department??

Sun Mi: Yes…………….. I just want to learn something from the editing department

Woo Jin: (He gazes at Sun Mi full of curiosity)

Sun Mi: Well, actually……… I would like to personally do some of the editing on the images and other records for the celebration in honor of the memory of the foundation………..but I don’t know anything about the editing field………so I came here without any plan to ask somebody for help…………..

Woo Jin: Oh you are?? Then if you don’t mind I’m going to introduce you to someone good who can help you??

Sun Mi: Really?? You really can introduce someone to me??

Woo Jin: of course I can…………..

Sun Mi: Thank you, Mr. Woo Jin…………………

Woo Jin: ……………………… That someone is………. It’s me………..

Sun Mi: (for a moment she becomes confused) Mr. Woo Jin……………………


Woo Jin: (He reads Sun Mi’s expression……… he becomes a little bitter)

Sun Mi: (She tries to escape these circumstances)………. Mr. Woo Jin………you are not a staff member from the editing department………. and I……….. I would like to learn properly from a specialist

Woo Jin: I work as a broadcasting worker ………There is no place that I have not passed through……… as for my capability……… I’m a much better worker than any other editing department staff member

Sun Mi: (she doesn’t know what to say)

Woo Jin: Maybe…………. I would be a burden on you…….. That is why you hesitate

Sun Mi: Mr. Woo Jin……………………

Woo Jin: I don’t have any other intentions……… I would just like to help as a good colleague and good friend

Sun Mi: I know……… but you are very busy these days

Woo Jin: If you hesitate because of that……… then don’t worry about it………anyhow editing is surprisingly simple enough………….you can complete training by listening to a couple of hours my descriptions

Sun Mi: (She still hesitates)

Woo Jin: Next week……….. I don’t have anything scheduled for field photography………….. I’m going to stay inside the broadcasting station………if you don’t mind, you can call me at any time……… all right.

Sun Mi: …………………… Yes…………………….

#THE FRONT OF CHAIRMAN YUN’S HOUSE

Hyun Chul: (slowly stops his car) Here we are~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (Her face becomes nervous……… She just gazes steadily at the front of the house)

Hyun Chul: (He looks back at Sun Mi and smiles happily………. then Hyun Chul become aware of Sun Mi nervous appearance) Jin Sun Mi~~~~~

Sun Mi: (She turns around and looks at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Are you very nervous??

Sun Mi: (She quickly nods her head)

Hyun Chul: How can I make my Sun Mi more comfortable………….(He gently embraces Sun Mi)……… I understand how you feel……… Before I visited your father……… I was very nervous just like you are now

Sun Mi: What if I make some mistakes

Hyun Chul: (he smiles) if you make a mistake, they will still tell you how lovely you are……… you don’t know how long they have waited for you to come to visit my house

Sun Mi: But still…………………..

Hyun Chul: Do take it at ease…………remember, I’m on your side………..Mmm??

Sun Mi: (She shuts her eyes tightly then opens them again)…………………. Yes, I will……… but you at all costs must stay at my side…………… all right

Hyun Chul: Mmm………………(He gazes at Sun Mi with softness in his heart) I won’t leave you alone……………. I’m going to stay only at your side………………….

#THE LIVING ROOM

With much gratification and deeply impressed …………… Chairman Yun and Mrs. Lee endlessly look at Sun Mi with endless warm eyes……… Sun Mi sits obediently in front of them……….. there Sun Mi drops down her head and her earlobes become red

Hyun Chul: (He continues to look at Sun Mi……… his smile almost stretches from ear to ear)

Min Chul: (Min Chul tries to warn Hyun Chul of such behavior……… he kicks Hyun Chul’s leg……… but there is no use)

Mrs. Lee: Some time ago I had a conversation with Miss Sun Mi like this………… I told you to consider me as your mother and make yourself comfortable………… at that time I mentioned that because…..…… some kind of fate would bring us all together like this.

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………………

Mrs. Lee: Now……… really, I don’t mind if you think of me as your own mother…………. I have only two curt sons…………. for a long time………… I have waited eagerly for a daughter-in-law………. to enter my house for such long time………….

Min Chul: Mother……don’t place so much responsibility on Miss Sun Mi shoulders……… you know Big Brother and Miss Sun Mi are not going to marry immediately

Mrs. Lee: Huh?? They are?? Anyway as soon as they are going to be……… right Miss Sun Mi

Sun Mi: Huh?? Y~~es………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul reads into Sun Mi’s perplexed expression)

Mrs. Lee: We better……… not designate each other as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law………… well really……… let us get along with each other affectionately like mother and daughter

Sun Mi: Yes mother………….. Please, you don’t have to address me so formally……… I should respect you as my elder………

Mrs. Lee: Oh, of course……………every time I met with you was outside Hyun Chul’s business……… addressing you like that has become habit………Ha-ha (laughs)

Hyun Chul: (with the tip of his toe……….. he softly touches Sun Mi’s feet)

Sun Mi: (She turns to look at Hyun Chul with a sidelong glance)

Hyun Chul: (He carries on grateful and commendable about Sun Mi……… he makes a warm smile at Sun Mi)

Mrs. Lee: (Chairman Yun is without any words……… Mrs. Lee looks at Chairman Yun) Darling, do you mind……… please say something………….. I feel like I’m the only one making noise

Chairman Yun: ……… Well……… I am aware that you carried on the part of adviser ……… at Hyun Chul’s side……… I heard that at the present time………. you work in the planning department??

Sun Mi: Yes Chair(man)…………. Fa~~ther……………

Chairman Yun: So far I listened that………. you are very affectionate toward your work and have a great deal of drive toward your work ……………you carry on your work like that and take care of Hyun Chul insufficiently………. so far you must have had a lot of hardships

Hyun Chul: (He unnecessarily clears his throat)

Chairman Yun: More than any other person……… I have great expectations from Miss Sun Mi………it is now Miss Sun Mi together with Director Yun……… you two have to …………… help each other……… and contend with a each other on many matters of business

Mrs. Lee: What do you mean contend with each other ……… Oh my goodness Darling……….. You know they are going to be married as husband and wife.

Chairman Yun: In personal life be like that ………… but at the broadcasting station they will compete with each other……… of course ……… they have to naturally do that

Hyun Chul: (He makes a grin)

Chairman Yun: Until now……… you always keep guard over your place well……… I expect you to continue as you are now………

Sun Mi: (She is aware of Chairman Yun’s thinking and of his strong intentions)………………… I will keep your words in my mind father.

#HYUN CHUL’S ROOM

Sun Mi’s eyes eagerly take in everything in Hyun Chul’s in room………………She makes a quiet smile……… behind Sun Mi, Hyun Chul follows slowly after Sun Mi………. each time Sun Mi’s eyes settle onto some spot………Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi’s appearance in a miraculous way………… Hyun Chul becomes restless

Hyun Chul: Because I only come occasionally to sleep in this place…………this room looks very lonesome right??

Sun Mi: (She brings herself to stop in front of Hyun Chul’s bookshelf………… she pulls out a book with a ruined front cover……… then she holds it up and passes though it unintentionally)

Hyun Chul: (closely clings to Sun Mi’s side) These days I am unable to touch that book completely………….but in the past, I read that book many times……… I can’t even count how many times

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi sees that on the first page something is written by Mrs. Lee) This book must have been a gift from your mother……… about the time you entered middle school……… here……………(She shows it to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (He looks as he pulls his neck straight……… then he makes a stealth smile) I am indebted to this book……… for quite some time I lived deeply into Hermann Hesse

Sun Mi: Oh, you did………… (she smiles)……… Well, I guess some time in the future I’m going to do like your mother did (after she mentioned those words she becomes unnecessarily embarrassed ……… Sun Mi’s face glows)

Hyun Chul: (He doesn’t miss Sun Mi’s appearance……… He smiles at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She acts like nothing just happened to her……… she quietly puts the book back in its place on the bookshelf……… then her hand moves to pull out another book)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul takes away the book from Sun Mi’s hand and then places it back in the bookshelf……… then he stands directly in front of Sun Mi)………………. Did you come here just to read books??

Sun Mi: I’m now………in the middle of searching about a man named Yun Hyun Chul………what kind of life he lived ………… it is not only for the smooth surface………… but also…………… to see if inside your heart is fully smooth

Hyun Chul: Oh, you are?? What is your results from the search??

Sun Mi: Well, so far……… it is difficult to make an exact conclusion………. but I see your thumb prints staining these classic books………. and I begin to feel relieved about you as is

Hyun Chul: (suddenly Hyun Chul holds Sun Mi around the waist) As is??……… (his facial expression makes him look like a little rascal) Jin Sun Mi……… don’t forget this place is my hideout place……… what ever I feel like doing, I’m free to do

Sun Mi: Well, oh my goodness……… I’m not frightened of anything……………...

Hyun Chul: Do you really mean what you just said??

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s unordinary eyes stare at Sun Mi………makes Sun Mi turn her head away) There………………Wow~~~~~ there you have many wonderful LP records……….do you mind explaining some………. I remember you mentioned you liked rock…………all these records are rock~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: (He takes a hold of Sun Mi’s chin……… then he makes her turn toward him)………. You just told me that you are not frightened…………why do you avoid looking me

Sun Mi: (She tries hard to untie Hyun Chul’s arms around her waist)………. Let us listen to some music………….. Huh??

Hyun Chul: (He shakes his head and goes near Sun Mi’s sweet lips…………….He gently stay on top of Sun Mi’s lips)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………….

Hyun Chul: (He doesn’t give her any space…………he tries to kiss Sun Mi’s lips more deeply)

(There is nothing but silence in the room………… they happen to hear………. Their hearts beating together to act as……a lovely melody quietly filling the room)

Hyun Chul: (He gently embraces Sun Mi)…………. Well, how soon can I bring you into this bedroom with me

Sun Mi: …………………………I am sorry

Hyun Chul: What are you sorry about…………….

Sun Mi: Well……… I’m just ……… sorry

Hyun Chul: Don’t pay so much attention to what my mother said…………. it doesn’t matter you will be with me someday…………… I can wait

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (He looks at Sun Mi softly……… before he is aware Sun Mi’s eyes become slightly wet) You are so silly…………I knew you were going to be like this…………(He make a sweet expression…………he moves his face closely toward Sun Mi) Umm??

Sun Mi: (She avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes)

Hyun Chul: (He quickly looks at Sun Mi) Um~~~Umm??

Sun Mi: (she smiles)……………………..all right…………I will……… I should change my behavior

Hyun Chul playfully runs his forehead against Sun Mi…………naturally their noses cross each other…………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi touch each other’s lips

(Knock! Knock! The door flies open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They act quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Min Chul: Ah Ha~~~~~ sorry, sorry, so sorry…………. do you want me to get out and enter again??

Sun Mi: (Her face becomes red………she turns her body around in the other direction)

Hyun Chul: (He tries to look disapprovingly out of the corner of his eyes at Min Chul) you already entered the room…………what do you need????

Min Chul: Mother told to bring this fruit tray to you

Hyun Chul: leave it there and get out!!

Min Chul: You don’t have to be angry at me like that………Mother was trying to personally bring this tray to you but……….for your sake I kept her away

Hyun Chul: all right, I get it………just get out of here quickly

Min Chul: Hmmm!! I thought I was going to leave this tray for you……… but big brother you behave like this make me……… somehow change my mind

Hyun Chul: (He looks with glaring eyes toward Min Chul and bites his lips)

Sun Mi: (She quickly turns around) Yes………Mr. Min Chul, if you don’t mind you can stay with us………we can all talk together

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(They all three sit together around a table)

Hyun Chul: (He scowls steadily at Min Chul…………under the table, now and then, Hyun Chul kicks Min Chul’s feet………he tries to indicate his dissatisfaction)

Min Chul: (He ignores what Hyun Chul is doing) Now, Miss Sun Mi you visit my house to greet my parents……… probably………from now on my mother is going to bother Miss Sun Mi occasionally………..because she is trying to bring Miss Sun Mi as soon as possible

Sun Mi: (brings down her head with a smile)

Min Chul: (He tries holding his cup up) Oh ………I already drank the whole coffee………my cup is already empty

Hyun Chul: Oh, sure…………why don’t you go down stairs and drink some more coffee………

Min Chul: (His eyes stare toward Sun Mi’s cup) Oh, Miss Sun Mi your cup is also empty……….. Miss Sun Mi do you want some more coffee??

Sun Mi: Well I ……………………………………

Min Chul: Big brother!! This time you go down stairs and make some more coffee to bring here………… Huh??

Hyun Chul: What!!!!!!

Min Chul: Miss Sun Mi…………don’t you want to taste my brother’s coffee??

Sun Mi: ……………………yes I think I do…………I want to taste Hyun Chul’s coffee

Min Chul: Big brother what are you doing!! My future sister-in-law says she would like to taste Yun Hyun Chul’s coffee

Hyun Chul: You!! (His eyes look threatening toward Min Chul as to say “I’m going to get you for this someday”…………he gets up from his seat)

Sun Mi: (She sees how Hyun Chul leaves the room- like he was pushed by someone………Hyun Chul’s appearance makes Sun Mi softy smile)

Min Chul: (He makes sure Hyun Chul leaves the room and closes the door)…………I’m very sorry Miss Sun Mi……….. I disturbed you twos private time

Sun Mi: No, Mr. Min Chul

Min Chul: actually……………for a long time………I wanted to have time with Miss Sun Mi like this………because I have some things to tell you about my older brother ………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………………

Min Chul: My brother…………he may be very attractive………he is very open-hearted and very playful too………for me my brother is like my good friend……….well from time to time he also like my younger brother

Sun Mi: (She acts like she understands what Min Chul is trying to say………she smiles)

Min Chul: my brother………my heart always carries thanks for my brother…………but for all that, I have one matter that I feel very regrettable toward him

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………

Min Chul: You don’t mind if I tell you a story from the past……………(a smile softly rises to the surface of his face) since I was a little child………I lived as I wished………well what I mean is I lived other than what my parents wished and hoped for me…….…and some one helped me to make all those possibilities available for me………that was my brother

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Min Chul: It is about MOON YOUNG group………after my father, someone has to become the successor…………to follow after my father in the future and become the lead successor………Huh~~~~~~ from the beginning I…………didn’t have any interest in business matters………and also I became crazy about motion pictures…………so that is why earlier than usual……….I turned a different direction to show my intentions to my parents to let them know not to expect anything from me………but my brother he has to fulfill my parents expectations…………he has to always be an example in his work, his studies and many other things…………I used my brother like my shield

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………………

Min Chul: (He point his eyes at some place)………there…do you see those LP records all heaped up?? From very early, since my brother’s younger day……….he collected those LP records one by one………and then there was also a bass guitar………now it is thrown into the storage basement………my brother secretly confessed it only to me………my brother told me………his dream was to be in music

Sun Mi: (The picture frame on top of Hyun Chul’s office desk flashes across her mind)

Min Chul: Well, by the way………my brother and I, we both can’t act against our parents intentions…………one day my brother suddenly mentioned this to me………that looking at his head and temperament………his type is that of a businessman………he said all this with an exhale………but I could see that he was unsatisfied and perhaps sad inside……..

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………

Min Chul: He can’t go against our parents expectations……….it is the obligation of the eldest son in the family………..and he is taking into consideration the sake of his younger brother………I think all these matters are in his heart

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………………

Min Chul: It would be nice from time to time if he would sit down and play his guitar as a hobby………but he tries to completely turn his face away from his guitar………he acts like he trying to forget his memories………instead he works and competes at business…………it looks like business matters only matter to him………every time he is like that………I feel more regrettable toward my brother

Sun Mi: (one side of Sun Mi’s heart feels a vague pain)

Min Chul: ………After finishing studying abroad……….the first time he attended the broadcasting station, he behaved like it was too much to handle- beyond his control………as a matter of course he tries not to show his face on the surface………but every time we speak over the telephone………I am aware of the sound of my brother suffering………naturally he has strong self-will………he doesn’t want to be defeated………he doesn’t want to show his weak appearance to anyone………that is why he conducts himself with more self-confidence in front of people……for some people my brother behavior looks like arrogance

Sun Mi: (The past flashes across Sun Mi’s mind like a slow picture)

Min Chul: But………some time ago I began to see my brother’s behavior change………….he has real self-confidence and gracefulness………some thing must have happened like he acquire a great deal of support

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Min Chul: (He gazes straight at Sun Mi)……………of course exactly……….because………someone named Miss Jin Sun Mi………appeared in front of my brother

Sun Mi: (She meets Min Chul’s serious eyes)

Min Chul: ………I want to ask you a favor Miss Sun Mi………I am unable to be my brother’s right-hand man………Miss Sun Mi, please will you confide in my brother and watch over him………so his right hand will be firm and strong………just like you are doing now………(He makes a slight smile)………you do not mind continuing to do what you are doing………please sister-in-law

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s tears silently run down her cheek………she makes a faint smile………she nods her head strongly like a definite promise toward herself)

#TOWARD SUN MI’S HOUSE, (inside Hyun Chul’s car)

Hyun Chul: Oh boy!! ~~~~ Really………I don’t know how I am going to teach my brother Min Chul a stiff lesson………every day his attitude becomes more cross tempered………I really don’t know what made him do what he did…………

Sun Mi: Hah!!

Hyun Chul: What is that………what is the meaning of that laugh???

Sun Mi: (She doesn’t answer Hyun Chul, instead she gazes out the car window)

Hyun Chul: For a little while I was not there………what did you talk about with Min Chul??………Well, I can guess what you two talked about………you two talked about my faults!! Didn’t you!!

Sun Mi: Of course we did, why do you question me about things you already know

Hyun Chul: What?? Well I see………you two already leave me out and become very friendly with each other………right then………since you two are like that, I guess we should switch with each other………I should get together with Je Uhn as soon as possible

Sun Mi: (in a low voice) Hyun Chul………………………………….

Hyun Chul: Hmm~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul, your parents………and also Mr. Min Chul………you really do have a very nice family………your nice family is always close by you………it makes me feel very fortunate

Hyun Chul: Well………as soon as possible………Sun Mi………they will become your family too

Sun Mi: …………………………Hyun Chul…………………….

Hyun Chul: Y~~~es~~~~~w~~hy~~~~~

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Why do you constantly call me with that very quiet sound in your voice………what do you wish?? Do you want to ask me about something??

Sun Mi: I do………..I have something to mention??………Have I told you that I love you??

Hyun Chul: Huh?? Hmm?? (For a moment he gazes at Sun Mi…………again he watches intently in front)…………Yes you did……… exactly two times………among those two times……..once I had to force you to say it………by the way……..why do you suddenly ask about this??

Sun Mi: …………No………I just………

Hyun Chul: Oh………well, I thought you were going to tell me again that you loved me

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (He turns to look at Sun Mi for a moment………then he look toward the front again)………by the way………you are a little curious………did something happen to you??

Sun Mi: What do you think happened to me………you were with me the whole time

Hyun Chul: (he smiles)

Sun Mi: (From the car window Hyun Chul reflection appears………Sun Mi gazes at it for a long time………then she stealthily put one of her hands on Hyun Chul’s lap………Sun Mi’s delicate confession to Hyun Chul………spread like a tranquil a wave)……… I love you………Hyun Chul………….

Hyun Chul: (His heart feels warm and nice…………he gently smiles and tightly hold onto Sun Mi’s hand on top of his lap)

 

 

LOVELY YOU: Chapter 16, Part 2

 


#THE EDITING DEPARTMENT

Woo Jin: (He looks fixedly at Sun Mi’s enthusiastic appearance about what she is doing) You must have a fine instructor?? You are doing very well Miss Sun Mi……….

Sun Mi: (operates a editing tool) Really?? By any chance………did you have a completely opposite thought in your mind………

Woo Jin: Of course not!!

Sun Mi: It’s more fun than what I expected………well, maybe………I should change my position to this………

Woo Jin: Don’t take it as so insignificantly…………the editing department’s staff…………they come here almost every day and night………they sometimes conduct operations all through the night without sleep………

Sun Mi: (she smiles)

Woo Jin: By the way………don’t you think it’s difficult to do by yourself?? At the materials office you have to search for a tape and………one by one verify every thing………also than you conduct editing operations………

Sun Mi: (without any thought………she just remarks) Why Mr. Woo Jin………Are you going to try and help me??

Woo Jin: I will do whatever………Miss Sun Mi wishes

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo Jin: (His eyes become anxious…………he fiercely gazes at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: …………well, it’s okay…………I still have spare time to prepare for this…………even if it takes some time…………I want to attempt to do it by myself…………this is a very good opportunity for me to learn broadcasting work

Woo Jin: …………………………………………………………

(All of the sudden there is the sound of a cell phone ringing)

Sun Mi: (She gets up from her seat quickly) Hello

Hyun Chul: It’s me!!!

Sun Mi: (Her eyes look intentionally toward Woo Jin……….then she covers her cell phone with her hand………and in a very low voice) Yes………………

Hyun Chul: When are you going to be finished with your work?? Let us leave work together…………

Sun Mi: If you don’t mind, you go first…………I’m going to finish my work a little late……………

Hyun Chul: Well then I will………leave after I take care of some more business matters……….call me when you are finished working

Sun Mi: You don’t have to do that…………for my sake

Hyun Chul: No, don’t worry………I really left behind some business matters………whether I take care my business matters here or take them home to finish makes no difference………since you are here, I might as well work close to Jin Sun Mi………you and I take care of our business matters………then I will take you home safely………that is how I will feel relieved

Sun Mi: (makes a beaming smile)

Hyun Chul: Don’t excessively overwork……….see you soon, all right!!

Sun Mi: Yes…………(she hangs up her phone and then turns toward Woo Jin)……….I’m sorry

Woo Jin: (He is somewhat bitter………but he tries hard to make a bright expression) Do you want a cup of coffee?? I’m going to get some coffee………

Sun Mi: Don’t worry I will get the coffee Mr. Woo Jin………you just stay there………(She urgently gets out the room)

Woo Jin: (He leans back against his chair………breathes out a long exhale)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul makes an eager investigation of a notebook………he looks weary from his work………he rubs the middle of his forehead a couple of times………he stretches his body with raised hands………as he gathers together his hands under chin he stares at the clock on top of his desk………the time has become quite late………but so far Sun Mi hasn’t contacted him………he misses her and wonders about her………Hyun Chul cannot possibly bear it patiently……….so he decides to go looking for Sun Mi………and he gets up from his seat

#A LOBBY

Hyun Chul puts his hands into the pocket of his trousers………he walk with a strut………then he pulls out his cell phone to call Sun Mi but changes his mind and puts the cell phone back into his trouser pocket………then he walks near the editing department………he quietly smiles.

Hyun Chul arrives at the front of the editing department………as he feels………he wants to open the door widely to enter the room………but he thinks about Sun Mi becoming perplexed………so first for a while………he tries to take a good look inside to see what Sun Mi is doing.

At the top of the door………there is a square clear window………Hyun Chul stealthily looks through the clear window with a playful expression………but………he sees Sun Mi and someone he recognizes sitting next to her………his smile disappears………little by little his face turns hard………and looks unfamiliar

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Because Sun Mi was running late, she quietly enters Hyun Chul’s office without knocking………she looks Hyun Chul’s back as he stares out the window………then she walks nearer and softly leans her body against Hyun Chul’s back

Hyun Chul: (He coldly drops down his eyes………he quickly turns his body around………then he begins to put things in order in his briefcase)

Sun Mi: !!………I’m very late………I am sorry for being very late like this

Hyun Chul: (walks with long steps)………Let’s go quickly!!

Sun Mi: …………………………………………………

#INSIDE HYUN CHUL’S CAR

Sun Mi: (The atmosphere is hard and chilly from Hyun Chul’s facial expression………Sun Mi pays attention to Hyun Chul’s intuition) Starting tomorrow………I think I’m going to continue leaving work late………Hyun Chul because of me………please don’t unnecessarily stay very late at your office………if you have to drive me to my house and then turn around to go to your condo………that will probably make you very weary.

Hyun Chul:………………………………………………

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s unfamiliar appearance make her unsure of what to do………Sun Mi stealthily looks out the car window)

Hyun Chul: ………How did the result of your editing work turn out??

Sun Mi: Huh?? (She looks back at Hyun Chul)………Ah………that ………it was not as I thought………it was not that difficult to do the editing……….I carried through step by step………it is going to turn out an excellent piece of work

Hyun Chul: You told me you asked someone from the editing department for help………who did you ask??

Sun Mi: Huh………well………(She knows for sure that if Hyun Chul knows that person is Woo Jin than he will feel bad………so) ………from the editing department………what….…was………his……..name………what was………his name………

(screeeeech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sudden noisy sound of the brakes as Hyun Chul’s stops the car………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul’s upper body extremely leans forward and than back to their original place)

Hyun Chul: (The corner of his mouth stealthily goes up)

Sun Mi: (She is too shocked………her face turns pure white)

Hyun Chul: (in a cold chilly low voice) Jin Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!! Are you all right??

Hyun Chul: (with piercing eyes he stares out the car window for a moment………then he hurries and starts to drive his car again)

Sun Mi: (her heart still palpitates……….she gazes at Hyun Chul anxiously and concerned)

#A CONFERENCE ROOM

Hyun Chul expressing his bad mood………he pointedly asks the planning department continuous stiff aggressive questions………as time passes by during the meeting everyone becomes perplexed………at any moment Hyun Chul’s behavior looks like he is about to attack some one………in the meeting everyone becomes unnaturally anxious and strained………and then………finally there is an arrow………pointing toward Sun Mi………

Hyun Chul: Miss Jin Sun Mi!! How is the preparation for the celebration in honor of the memory of the foundation progressing??

Sun Mi: (She becomes very tense………she swallows) At the present time we are consulting closely with the hotel associate staff members in regards to the celebrations plans………we have already little by little progressed and have readied all sorts of materials for the celebration of culture………and also………

Hyun Chul: Did you send out invitation letters to everyone who should be at the party??

Sun Mi: We have finished sending invitation to foreign countries………but we are in the middle of preparing the invitations for inside Korea

Hyun Chul: When is the celebration in honor of the memory of the foundation??

Sun Mi: Huh??

Hyun Chul: ………………………………

Sun Mi: February 5

Hyun Chul: And yet!!………You are trying to tell me that you still haven’t completed sending out the invitation letters to everyone!!!!………Do you think those people will always be not busy and will make time for our sake!!!!!!………Miss Jin Sun Mi what did you say at the last meeting!!………Didn’t you mention that you would invite people from inside and outside the country to make the celebration place shine bright!!!!!!………If you continue taking care of the matter like this………we will have no guests and finish with only our feast party!!!!!

Sun Mi: (Her face becomes flushed and red)

Hyun Chul: Don’t you understand that………what matter is so important that it has become a priority over the invitations!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: From the people who have received the invitation you sent………have you received any replies on whether or not they will definitely participate in the celebration honoring the memory of the foundation!!

Sun Mi: Up until now………I miss thought about that matter

Hyun Chul: (He strikes his hand down on top of the table with a bang) What on earth is the matter with you!!!!!!!!!

Assistant Mr. Lee: (He feels very sorry for Sun Mi suffering this encounter with Hyun Chul by herself)………this situation is not only Miss Sun Mi’s mistake………we all worked on it together so it’s everybody’s fault………as quickly as possible we will arrange and take care of this matter

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at Mr. Lee with daggers in his eyes) you already lost the cow and now you want to repair the stable!!!!!!………Well this make me feel very unsure………I don’t know how I can place this matter in any person’s charge

Sun Mi: (She clenches her teeth and bites her lip)

Hyun Chul: I want an up to date report on the progress of this situation………I want everything written down without any omissions………bring the written report to my office………do you understand Miss Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Yes sir………Mr. Director

Hyun Chul: Everyone………Listen to my words with care!! I request for each person to work independently!!………Do I have to indicate one by one each error and complain, giving each person a scolding!!………Everyone collect yourself together and do your duty!!………Today’s meeting is finished!!

(Every staff member walks carefully and cautiously………as they leave the conference room one by one)

Hyun Chul: (As he leaves the conference room he looks back at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (One tear drop falls from Sun Mi’s eye………and drops on top of her document)

Hyun Chul: A scolding from your boss makes you shed tears………it really doesn’t look professional!!………didn’t you exclaim that men and women are equal……don’t just say it, your behavior should be as what you say!!!

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi wipes away her tears with all her strength) I guess I’m very regrettable, Mr. Director!!

Hyun Chul: I told you before………I’m going to be certain to divide business matters and personal matters………anyhow………why on Earth do you behave like this!! Now………are you trying to demonstrate me because I scolded you!!

Sun Mi: (She jumps to her feet from her seat………then she stares straight at Hyun Chul) No sir!! No Mr. Director!! I really appreciate………your advice today!!

Hyun Chul: Then I’m fortunate!!………(He tries to leave the conference room and once again looks back at Sun Mi)………You don’t mind if I give you one more piece of advice!!

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: ………it doesn’t matter what the reason is………when someone tells a lie to someone else………I become very disgusted by them!! Even you are not an exception!!!!!! (He looks at Sun Mi with piercing eyes………then he leaves the conference room with a raise of cold air)

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#A LOBBY

Assistant Mr. Lee: Assistant Chae………that time you told me those words………those words are………they are not true?????………You tried unnecessarily to restrain me………and your intention is to make Miss Sun Mi your own without me???

Assistant Mr. Chae: What are you talking about………I get information from all sorts of places

Assistant Mr. Lee: Then………why………how can Mr. Director Yun behave like that toward Miss Sun Mi??………he acts like he really wants to torment and torture Miss Sun Mi beyond her capacity

Assistant Mr. Chae: He must be very good at separating emotions………love is love………and business is business

Assistant Mr. Lee: It doesn’t matter………I still think his behavior went too far beyond bounds………it looked like intended to act that way………maybe those two people had a falling out………then I must make one attempt toward Miss Sun Mi

Assistant Mr. Chae: Well we don’t know yet………maybe it is just a lover’s quarrel………a lover’s quarrel between those two people will maybe cause us to live under oppression………anyhow today’s meeting………Ah~~~~ it was very painful

Assistant Mr. Lee: Anyhow I am concerned about Miss Sun Mi………we carried on the work together………but only she got scolded by Mr. Director for every matter

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Sun Mi: (She puts down a approval folder on top of Hyun Chul’s desk) Here is the report as Mr. Director ordered

Hyun Chul: You can leave it there………and then you can leave

Sun Mi: (She stand in one place as she hesitates)

Hyun Chul: ……………………………

Sun Mi: ………may I have some words with you………it will take just a moment

Hyun Chul: I’m busy now………can’t you see??

Sun Mi: It will take just a moment

Hyun Chul: If you don’t mind, we will talk about it later

Sun Mi: What is the matter with you these days………you continue to avoid me………if you do not mind can you tell me what I did wrong

Hyun Chul: (He acts like Sun Mi is being troublesome to him) Jin Sun Mi!!!! I told you………I’m very busy now………this is not like you………why do you bother me like this!!!!!

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (turns his face away from Sun Mi and looks toward the top of his desk)

Sun Mi: (Her face becomes somewhat bitter………she turns around slowly and leaves Hyun Chul’s office)

#HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

Hyun Chul steps into his condo, his body weary and tired………he sits down onto his sofa………constantly Sun Mi’s emaciated face glimmer in Hyun Chul’s mind………he tries to shake away all those thoughts and with all his strength he unties his necktie

(Suddenly, the doorbell rings)

Hyun Chul: (He doesn’t even check to see who it is before….. he opens the front door widely………there Sun Mi stands)

Sun Mi: (She gazes at Hyun Chul’s eyes helplessly)

Hyun Chul: (He moves away to one aside………he indicates toward Sun Mi to enter his condo)

(A moment later)

Sun Mi: (She sits on Hyun Chul’s sofa silently………she drops her head down)

Hyun Chul: ………Do you want a cup of coffee??

Sun Mi: No thank you………I am sorry………you must be very tired………and I came all the way to your condo to see you

Hyun Chul: (He takes a seat opposite of Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: ………I am………I feel like I can’t breath………I can’t do anything………please tell me Hyun Chul………why do you behave like this toward me………

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………

Sun Mi: ………I am………you don’t want to see me anymore………you don’t like to talk to me anymore………you don’t miss me………that is how you behave

Hyun Chul: Your words sound like you wish it happened just like that!!

Sun Mi: (She stares at Hyun Chul………she begins to feel resentment toward Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: You can tell me any time……….I’m not the type of person to stick tightly to some one and hold them back

Sun Mi: (She leaps to her feet and looks at Hyun Chul with daggers in her eyes………before she is aware her eyes become slightly wet)………I am………I only mean that much to you………barely standard

Hyun Chul: (He replies with a cold act and stares at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: ……all right I understand………now I certainly know how your heart feels………I’m also not the type of person to stick tightly to some and hold them ………(She walks quickly toward the entrance)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul quickly follows Sun Mi………he pulls Sun Mi’s arms to change her direction toward him) For you sure……...have you shown me your real intentions!!

Sun Mi: Let me go!! I don’t want to look at you!!

Hyun Chul: Shouldn’t I be the one saying those words first!!

Sun Mi: (She tries to withdraw her arm from Hyun Chul grip)

Hyun Chul: (He tries more firmly to hold Sun Mi’s arm) Mr. Kim Woo Jin………he has out of the ordinary feelings toward for you………you can’t say you don’t know about his feelings!!………I really don’t care………you can swear at me and tell me how much of a narrow-minded person I am!!………However I am………I don’t know why, but I just have a bad feeling toward him!!………You know about the feelings between us………and you still took lessons from him!!………You even tried to lie to me!!………I wonder if Mr. Kim Woo Jin will have the same pure feelings toward you!! And since when is Mr. Kim Woo Jin part of the editing department staff!! And also what was your intention to lie like that!!!

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: you already knew………that I was going to have a bad feeling about this matter………then in the beginning you should not have done this………Why!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………..

Hyun Chul: If I didn’t see anything………then my feelings wouldn’t suffer like I’m in hell………but I saw!! I already saw that matter!!!!!

Sun Mi: You misunderstand me………It’s not what you think.

Hyun Chul: What!!!!! What did I misunderstand about you!!!!!

Sun Mi: I’m sorry Hyun Chul………but………

Hyun Chul: Leave!! I don’t want to listen to any excuses from you!!………(He lets go of Sun Mi’s arms and turn his body around) Go………I don’t feel like I want to see you right now………this is my true feeling

Sun Mi: (Her tears overflow down her cheek………she stares at Hyun Chul’s stubborn back side)………It’s my fault………I know………but please understand me in this matter………I accepted Mr. Woo Jin’s proposal………because I wanted to be able to show Mr. Woo Jin that I do not have existing feelings toward him and that we could face each other like it was nothing………and even though I did lie to you………it was not for the sake of deceiving you………someone who has nothing to do with us……… Hyun Chul………it was because I didn’t want to see your feeling become hurt

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: ………Thank you for trying to tell me the truth………I guess I better leave (Sun Mi grabs the door knob………then again she turns her body around) Oh!! Anyhow!!

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: (Her tears flow down her cheek………after she wipes away her tears several time)………I’m leaving for Jae-Ju-Doh tomorrow………finally, my first assignment………this is the moment for my conduct to be examined

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul you will be accompanying the Chairman to Jae-Ju-Doh………you should be at that place after a week

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi…………………………………

Sun Mi: (She makes an effort to exert herself and sound bright)………I am aware that you will be very busy with your business matters Hyun Chul………if you don’t call me………I’m not going to behave sulky………by the way………I will probably be very busy too………it is probably better that way………right?………(once again tears begin to quickly rise in Sun Mi’s eyes)………I will probably miss you very much, but I will be patient with that matter right now………Hyun Chul during that week………try to dismiss me from your mind, forget those matters and just carry on with your business with a free and easy mind………all right.

Hyun Chul: (He. turns around and looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She quickly turns her body around………and shows her back side toward Hyun Chul)………but still don’t try to excessively force yourself into your business matters………please be sure to have proper meals………hoohoo (She sobs)…………. I guess I’m really leaving………(She urgently opens the door and runs out side)

Hyun Chul: (like his delicate heart………around his eyes become silently wet)………Jin Sun Mi……………

#A FEW DAYS LATER, A HOTEL IN JAE-JU-DOH

At the hotel entrance a taxi just arrives………someone’s beloved face appears as they get out of the taxi………a smile floats onto Hyun Chul’s face………he looks fixedly above the hotel entrance………then he enters the hotel

Hyun Chul quietly walks forward……….a large hall appears………there is a noisy sound………he discovers it is a group of people

Hyun Chul splits through the crowd of people in the hall…………the hall is full of life, the images Jin Sun Mi’s put together reflects all around the room…………any one can see Sun Mi’s excellently decorated framed photographs hanging on the walls………Hyun Chul counts the groups of people crowding around these pictures with curiosity filling their eyes…………this already proves that the celebration is half a success…………it is not difficult to predict that the complete celebration will be a full success

Hyun Chul’s eyes find the Moon Young group’s staff appearances in this place here and there………but so far he is unable to see Sun Mi

At that time at Hyun Chul’s side………Sun Mi stealthily goes past Hyun Chul………She must be intoxicated by the atmosphere and the place………she is unable to recognize Hyun Chul………Hyun Chul thinks that this is fortunate for him………without hurry………he tries not to be discovered by Sun Mi………Hyun Chul begins to spin himself around Sun Mi’s circumference……….Sun Mi’s appearance comes into Hyun Chul’s view………he eagerly looks at Sun Mi’s unlimited beauty and loveliness

Sun Mi busily runs this way and that way………for the sake of the groups of people………she explains something for these people with eagerness………and then it looks like these matters become little hard on her………she breathes out a short sigh………but then she would sometimes make a beaming smile………every time before she carried move after move………without exception………she checked her cell phone hanging around her neck………the cell phone makes no sound………she feebly lays down her cell phone again……….

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels like someone is keeping watch over her………from time to time Sun Mi looks around here and there)

Hyun Chul: (at times Hyun Chul quickly hides himself within the crowds of people)

Sun Mi: Wake up Jin Sun Mi………who do you think is going to watch you……….(She makes a quiet smile)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul watches over Sun Mi’s appearance………Hyun Chul makes an extensive smile)

#THE HOTEL LOBBY

Assistant Mr. Chae: Oh boy, that was very strange…………

Assistant Mr. Lee: What are you talking about??

Assistant Mr. Chae: I’m sure I just saw Director Yun…………..

Assistant Mr. Lee: What!! Did you fall asleep and hit your head on the window………why, for what reason would Director Yun come to visit this place at this time??

Assistant Mr. Chae: That is way I think it is strange……………

Assistant Mr. Lee: You already talked enough like an idiot……….let’s go get something to drink

Assistant Mr. Chae: I must have seen some one who just looks like him??

#SUN MI’S ROOM

Sun Mi: (she doesn’t even change her clothes………Sun Mi lies her body down on her bed………for a long time she gaze at the ceiling………and then………she removes her cell phone from her neck………and looks fixedly at her cell phone) ………Yun Hyun Chul………are you still angry with me………you know I am waiting for your phone call………you already know what my feelings are………(little by little tears begin to fall down Sun Mi’s face)………you are bad ………Hyun Chul you are really unpleasant

(Ding dong~~~(the sound of the doorbell)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Sun Mi: (As she stand close inside door) Who is?………………(there is are nothing answer) Who is?

(Ding dong~~~(sound of doorbell)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Sun Mi: (she hesitates for a moment then she slightly opens the door………she tries to look outside)

Hyun Chul: (Suddenly pushes the door open)

Sun Mi: (She is surprised to see Hyun Chul………her eyes become big and round)

Hyun Chul: (with no expression on his face he looks at Sun Mi)……… If you don’t mind can I come in??

Sun Mi: (She quickly moves aside)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks around the whole room once) for a Jae-Ju-doh broadcasting station ………I had an emergency meeting so I came to attend the meeting which finished very late………so for that reason I came to this place

Sun Mi: Huh……………….

Hyun Chul: (He act unintentional) How are you? Are you all right?

Sun Mi: Yes I’m fine…………………

Hyun Chul: Did many people come over to this place??

Sun Mi: Yes…………….

Hyun Chul: You didn’t miss me?

Sun Mi: Huh!!!!!!………(She raises her head with a flash)

Hyun Chul: (He turns around to face Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She meets Hyun Chul’s eyes………she tries quickly to avoid his eyes) Would you like a drink?? (She walks toward the refrigerator)

Hyun Chul: No………don’t worry about it

Sun Mi: (She shrinks back abruptly for a moment) Then………Did you have dinner tonight?? If you haven’t, I can go down…………..

Hyun Chul: Do you know what time it is now……….

Sun Mi: Of course………Oh my goodness it is really very late…………

Hyun Chul: Don’t fluster yourself any more and come here………please………come close to me please……………

Sun Mi: (for just a moment her eyes become teary)

Hyun Chul: You won’t even look me in the eyes………you don’t even try to come close to my side………do you want me to just leave??

Sun Mi: (She shakes her head with all her strength)

Hyun Chul: (slowly he walks near Sun Mi and make her change direction to face him)

Sun Mi: Hhhhoo~(She sobs)……………………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………………

Sun Mi: I thought you would still be angry with me………I can’t sleep at night………I just wait for your phone call……………

Hyun Chul: That is way I came to this place like this………(He gently draw Sun Mi near him and embraces her firmly)………Oh I missed you so much………I can’t tolerate me anymore because I missed you so much…………that is why without a plan I came to this place………there was no emergency meeting in the first place………I just missed you so much inside my heart………I moved everything out of the way and………I just came to this place

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………………

Hyun Chul: I am sorry Sun Mi………I always make things so hard for you………and make you cry………once those matters pass by, I always feel regret for those matters………this time………I didn’t have to take it out you that much

Sun Mi: No, Hyun Chul………it was my mistake

Hyun Chul: No, Sun Mi………my behavior was not genuine under any circumstances………I was not simply angry at you because you lied to me………even if you told me the truth I would probably behave the same as I did………(he smiles)………I don’t know………maybe it was because I lost the basketball game before………I guess that is why I must be so sensitive toward Kim Woo Jin

Sun Mi: I’m never going to do that again………if it is anything you don’t like………I’m never going to even try doing it again

Hyun Chul: (He moves Sun Mi a little away from the his chest………then he wraps his arms tightly around Sun Mi’s shoulder) really??

Sun Mi: (She nods her head quickly)

Hyun Chul: Then, don’t cry please………stop please!!

Sun Mi: (She wipes away her tears with all her strength………she tries hard to calm herself)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s appearance makes Hyun Chul turn up a smile)

For quite some time Hyun Chul missed Sun Mi………he wants to feel Sun Mi with his slender fingers to make up for lost times………he begins to try to find humble feelings one by one………Sun Mi eagerly trembles with fear………she closes her eyes firmly………and accepts Hyun Chul’s approach

Hyun Chul slides against Sun Mi………with endless gentleness and tenderness he spins Sun Mi around………at that time his feelings transform into yearning and anxiousness……….Hyun Chul’s passion little by little become furious………he always finishes his love of Sun Mi with dissatisfaction, this time he would like to be give all his love to Sun Mi………his burning lips wander about Sun Mi………his lips roam everywhere

Sun Mi is locked in Hyun Chul’s arms………Sun Mi slowly steps backward………she can not maintain her strength anymore………she crumbles into the bed……….their eyes become entangled………and their lips………Hyun Chul’s trembling hands untie and open Sun Mi’s blouse………then little by little he touches Sun Mi with deep trembling

However!!

Hyun Chul: (He picks Sun Mi up and tightly grasps her in his arms………they bring their forehead into contact with an unbearable sigh)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………

Hyun Chul: (He shuts his eyes tightly)

Sun Mi: I………I am………………

Hyun Chul: I know………I know……….(Hyun Chul quietly open his eyes……….and looks at Sun Mi’s reddish cheeks………and he begins to tie her opened blouse)

Sun Mi: (She softly feels Hyun Chul’s helping hand)

Hyun Chul: (As he tries to tie the last button up………he makes a beaming smile at Sun Mi) I thought I was going to behave very gently and then fly home tomorrow morning………actually I haven’t even checked into the hotel yet………you are not going to drive me away………are you??

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi continues to put down her head)

Hyun Chul: (For Sun Mi’s sake Hyun Chul tries to change the atmosphere) Hmm~~~~~~~~~~ A flash of inspiration just crossed my mind……………Sun Mi!!!! Right now inside my head………for your sake I have come up with a poem

Sun Mi: ……………………………

Hyun Chul: Do you want to hear my poem??

Sun Mi: (She just nods her head)

Hyun Chul: you have a poor attitude………you should look at me with a profound and deep thought attitude

Sun Mi: (she smiles………she sits on the bed with arms wrapped around her knees folded up against her chest……….then she gazes at Hyun Chul with a quiet smile)

Hyun Chul: I should begin??

Sun Mi: (She nods her head)

Hyun Chul: The subject title………is my devotion to Jin Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: (little by little Sun Mi smiles becomes larger)

Hyun Chul: Ahhh~~Hmm………..In this world there is a beautiful woman………her name was Jin Sun Mi………..(He stealthily takes a good look at Sun Mi’s expression)……… The spirit of reincarnated flower clusters………for the sake of whom you meet with

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi tries to be patient for Hyun Chul’s sake but her laughter indirectly flows out of her mouth………she bites her bottom lip lightly)

Hyun Chul: Ahhh~~~~~~ by no means is it for the sake of meeting with me

Sun Mi: (Because of Hyun Chul’s excessive serious appearance……….she doesn’t have the heart to laugh at him………her face little by little becomes pure white)

Hyun Chul: I shall carry on loving you for all eternity………the end!! How is it??

Sun Mi: Hmph!!

Hyun Chul: What does that mean Jin Sun Mi!!!! My whole hearts devotion………for your sake I made this poem

Sun Mi: (She continues to lightly laugh, she tries not to laugh………so she covers her mouth with her hand)………I am sorry

Hyun Chul: I know my poem is bad………but still………how can you smash my sincere heart………..make me feel quite ashamed………(Hyun Chul acts deeply disappointed………he turns his head)

Sun Mi: I’m sorry Hyun Chul………Are you mad at me??

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: (She softly smiles) Don’t be mad at me………..listen to my comments about how I feel about your poem

Hyun Chul: (He takes a sidelong glance at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: There are beautiful poems that touch my spirit and brings me to tears………..it is not better then just now when I was very impressed by your poem………Hyun Chul just because you put your sincere heart in this poem………makes me want to keep and cherish those words my whole life

Hyun Chul: Are you sure??

Sun Mi: Yes…………………

Hyun Chul: (He makes a beaming smile) then………do you anticipate a second part…………..

Sun Mi: Second part……………There is a second part too??

Hyun Chul: Mmm!!

Sun Mi: (Her face quietly looks bewildered)

Hyun Chul: I will let you listen to the second part some time later………(he puts his mouth near Sun Mi’s ear) It is for our first night as honeymooners~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (for one second her face becomes red)

Hyun Chul: (His expression is like a little rascal) you can’t hardly wait and look forward to the first night of our honeymoon?? Right??

Sun Mi: (She gets up from her seat and feels ashamed at Hyun Chul’s remark………then she walks near the window)

Hyun Chul: (He makes a beaming smile and follows Sun Mi from behind then he tightly embraces Sun Mi) Ahhhh~~~~~~~ I think at any rate I can’t sleep tonight………I should be all right………but I am worried about you, you are probably very tired

Sun Mi: You should be more tired then I am because you have to leave for Seoul tomorrow morning………I am all right don’t worry about me………well anyhow………for now you should go to bed and close your eyes

Hyun Chul: No, I don’t want to………I don’t want to waste this precious moment of time with you………once you fall asleep………then I will sleep too………

Sun Mi: (She thought in any way it would not help both of them) all right then………I am going to try and sleep………please Hyun Chul you should sleep too………all right

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi both suggest where each should sleep………they continue to go over their options………finally………they take their places…….…Sun Mi in the bed………and Hyun Chul on the sofa………they cannot possibly fall asleep………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi beg themselves to sleep)

Hyun Chul: Are you asleep????

Sun MI: No not yet

(There is silence inside the darkness)

Sun Mi: Are you asleep????

Hyun Chul: No not yet.

(They continue to ask each other the same question and repeat the same answer again and again………then after a while once again there is silence)

Sun Mi: Anyhow you probably can’t sleep because the sofa is very uncomfortable………Hyun Chul please come here………come sleep in the bed next to me………it’s not that large of a bed……….but you can still straighten your legs………so it is probably much more comfortable than the sofa

Hyun Chul: (He acts like he was waiting for Sun Mi’s word………he quickly gets up from the sofa)

She pushes down firmly into the comforter………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi formally draw a line into the mattress………they lay with their backs touching………they look out at the opposite direction………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s hearts become full of each others’ appearance

Hyun Chul: take it easy and try to sleep comfortably………tomorrow morning………I would like to open my eyes before you and wait for you to wake up

# HOTEL JAE-JU-DOH (ONE DAY BEFORE THE CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF THE MEMORY OF THE FOUNDATION, THE AFTERNOON)

 

(Hyun Chul only thinks about how much he misses Sun Mi………Hyun Chul made excuses this way and that way………in order to be sure to come to this place one day earlier………but right now………Sun Mi is very busy………Sun Mi has to prepare a celebration in the honor the memory of the foundation………because the celebration day draws near tomorrow………so inside the hall Sun Mi wanders around very busily………she looks like she doesn’t have time to spend with Hyun Chul like she wishes)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s facial expression becomes sulky………his eyes continue to follow Sun Mi)

 

Supervisor Kim: (He lets his smile flow as he brown-noses toward Hyun Chul) I thought Mr. Director would not arrive to this place until tomorrow together with Mr. Chairman………..

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul acts without a purpose) I’m the planning department Director………every matter is under my direct control………I just can’t ignore and pretend not to know my part………at the same time I want to take a good look at the preparations for the celebration party in honor of the memory of the foundation………and I came to this place to encourage every staff member to complete this matter as is………(Hyun Chul tries to leave Supervisor Kim’s side………he walks away from Supervisor Kim)

 

Supervisor Kim: (He just acts like he doesn’t have any sense and continues to closely follow Hyun Chul)………huh, yes………of course I should know Mr. Director 

 

Hyun Chul: (There is Sun Mi putting the pamphlets in order………Hyun Chul gets near to Sun Mi)………you work very hard Miss Jin Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: (She doesn’t even look at Hyun Chul and just nods her head lightly………then she continues to concentrate on her work with her head down)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul picks up a pamphlet and holds it in his hands………then he carries on as he follows what Sun Mi has done)

 

Sun Mi: (She looks with a sidelong glance at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (He contracts his eyebrows………and winks at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (She quickly avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes)

 

Supervisor Kim: Mr. Director please stop………how can Mr. Director do this kind of work………

 

Hyun Chul: Well, I have some time………and also everyone looks very busy………so I think I really should be a help to everyone………so at least I can give a little helping-hand

 

Supervisor Kim: Ah………yes, of course Mr. Director I understand………(Supervisor Kim stands next to Hyun Chul’s side as he tries to pick up a pamphlet)

 

Hyun Chul: Supervisor Kim over there~~~~~~~(Hyun Chul informs with his chin)………Assistant Mr. Lee look like he’s having a very hard time by himself………don’t worry about here………I will try to help here………so Supervisor Kim how about you go over there to help Assistant Mr. Lee………

 

Supervisor Kim: Yes sir!! I understand Mr. Director!! (He politely bows toward Hyun Chul and goes out of sight)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at the appearance of Supervisor Kim’s back and makes a beaming smile………then Hyun Chul’s eyes look toward Sun Mi) Jin Sun Mi!!!

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: I came here to see you………don’t you think the least you can do………is try to look at me………have you missed me

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Well, I guess you do not miss me at all………I feel very regrettable from you………me………I missed you so much………I felt like I was ready to lose my mind in a few days………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: On top of that I came down here as early as I could………so I can even help you work like this………but………you continue to pretend like you don’t even see me………okay, let’s see how long you are going to act like this………Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Do you really feel like you would like to help me………then please leave this place at once………

 

Hyun Chul: What??………Are you really going to continue to act like this??

 

Sun Mi: Please keep your voice down………people will listen to what you are saying………

 

Hyun Chul: You think I care what those people think………I really don’t care!!!!

 

Sun Mi: (She tries to take a good look at the surrounding peoples eyes) Hyun Chul, please!!

 

Hyun Chul: Also………what is wrong with your face………you look very exhausted………I told you before you better take frequent breaks from your work………and yet you don’t even listen to my words at all………you just put all your strength into your work………didn’t you………

 

Sun Mi: I’m not the only one that carried on working like this………all of our staff did the same as I did………I think I look this way because during those days I didn’t sleep enough………soon I will be all right………so don’t worry about it

 

Hyun Chul: You are a fool!!

 

Sun Mi: That is right………I’m a fool………didn’t you know that before………you just found out now that I’m a foolish person

 

Hyun Chul: I hate you!! You are so stubborn!!!

 

Sun Mi: Some time ago did you not mention to me………that I better act and not just talk as men and women are equal………

 

Hyun Chul: Men and women are equal has a much different meaning then a divide between men and women………don’t you think………truly women are not physically powerful like men………

 

Sun Mi: I’m still good and I can bear it………

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (She acts like she doesn’t hear Hyun Chul’s word at all………she tries to busy her hands more)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul silently looks at Sun Mi………then his eyes become playful………suddenly he tries to touch his forehead)………Aahh………

 

Sun Mi: (She stop abruptly for a moment then she looks at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (He takes a good look at Sun Mi’s facial expression………he tries to push down to touch his forehead more)

 

Sun Mi: What is wrong………is something matter??

 

Hyun Chul: I don’t know………suddenly I have a sharp headache………these past few days I worked nights without sleep………maybe that is why I have a headache like this………

 

Sun Mi: (She becomes very concerned about Hyun Chul) then why didn’t you rest yourself thoroughly and come to this place tomorrow………why did you come to this place this early………

 

Hyun Chul: I told you already………because I missed you so much………that is why………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels distressed) really………I don’t know who is really the fool here………don’t stay here like this………you should go to your room and rest………

 

Hyun Chul: I guess anyhow I have to………by the way do I have to go by myself………are you not going to go with me??

 

Sun Mi: How I can go with you………in the middle of work like this………

 

Hyun Chul: Then what about me!!

 

Sun Mi: I’m sorry Hyun Chul………but our work is short-handed enough………so I can’t leave my position………

 

Hyun Chul: What are you talking about short of helping-hands………it looks like every where has plenty a helping-hands………

 

Sun Mi: If I leave this place with you………than I will probably be more in your way………for that reason you better quickly go upstairs to your room and take a good rest………all right Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh good heavens!! Are you trying to tell me this work is more important than me, right………then do as you please!! (He turns his back on Sun Mi like he is mad than he leaves this place)

 

Sun Mi: (Her facial expression become like she is very concerned about Hyun Chul………she lightly grimaces at Hyun Chul)

 

(The manner is which Hyun Chul leaves the place makes Sun Mi’s feelings become entangled………she stops her work for a moment………then she walks near a corner of this place………and takes out her cell phone………)

 

Hyun Chul: (He answers his phone with a helpless sound) Hello………

 

Sun Mi: It’s me………

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………

 

Sun Mi: How do you feel??

 

Hyun Chul: You can come personally to this place and check for yourself………why do you ask me about this matter over the phone!! (With a slap………he hangs up his cell phone)

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

#IN FRONT OF HYUN CHUL’S ROOM

 

(Sun Mi stealthily slips away from her work………she comes to the front of Hyun Chul’s room………she pushes down Hyun Chul’s room doorbell………DING DONG~~~~~~~~~there is no answer………once again DING DONG~~~~~~~~~again there is no answer………)

 

Sun Mi: (She knocks on Hyun Chul’s room door) Hyun Chul!! (There is completely no sign of Hyun Chul being around) He must be asleep??

 

(Sun Mi thought that it was more fortunate that Hyun Chul is asleep………she tries to turn around to leave………but at that time………Sun Mi can hear the sound of the door open………)

 

#HYUN CHUL’S ROOM

 

(Sun Mi quietly enters Hyun Chul’s room………she can see Hyun Chul’s back side appearance as he lies down on the side of the bed………) 

 

Sun Mi: (She walks toward Hyun Chul near the bed) I thought you were asleep………I must have unnecessarily woken you up………

 

Hyun Chul: ………………………

 

Sun Mi: How about your headache?? Does it still hurt like before?? (She takes her hand to touch Hyun Chul’s forehead………however………)

 

Hyun Chul: (He intercepts Sun Mi’s hand………he pulls the comforter cover all the way over his head)

 

Sun Mi: (Without a sound she smiles quietly………then she sits on the side of the bed)………in a moment I have to get back to the my work………

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……………………

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………………

 

Sun Mi: Probably………you would feel much better after you take a nap………(she lightly scowls at Hyun Chul) I better not disturb you so much………I’m getting in your way to sleep………I guess I better leave………I think I’m really going to leave………Hyu!! 

 

Hyun Chul: (Suddenly!!………Hyun Chul moves the comforter out of the way and gets up………and like attacking he locks his arms around Sun Mi………(the color of his eyes become diligently playful)

 

Sun Mi: (She half-sits and half-rises………Sun Mi’s upper body fully leans back)………it’s a fake sickness………right?? (Beyond her capacity………she maintains her body with her elbow)

 

Hyun Chul: (little by little Hyun Chul tries to push his body lower down………and he makes Sun Mi fall down)

 

Sun Mi: (She become surprised by Hyun Chul’s action………her eyes turn big and round)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s lips move closer to Sun Mi………however………Hyun Chul gets up with a beaming smile on his face………then he tries to pick up Sun Mi’s legs from in floor and puts them on top of the bed………then Hyun Chul takes off Sun Mi’s high hill shoes)

 

Sun Mi: What are you doing??

 

Hyun Chul: (He pulls the comforter up to cover Sun Mi………then he places a pillow under Sun Mi’s head)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………

 

Hyun Chul: You look like you’re about ready to fall down at any moment………how you going to go forth into your work without your strength………for the sake of tomorrow’s matters………today you have to take a rest………

 

Sun Mi: No I can’t Hyun Chul………I don’t have this kind of time………

 

Hyun Chul: Listen to what I’m saying………I think I’m going to even forcefully hold you in here………

 

Sun Mi: How can you do this to me……… 

 

Hyun Chul: It’s for ten minutes………just ten minutes………close your eyes for just ten minute………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Sshh!! Quickly!!!

 

Sun Mi: (Without a choice she closes her eyes………Sun Mi feel like the lids of her eyes are so heavy………she just deeply sinks down)………I should not fall asleep………

 

Hyun Chul: Yes you should!!

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul keeps tapping Sun Mi’s chest) sleep~~ sleep~~ my Sun Mi~~~

 

Sun Mi: (She makes a smile) Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: After I put you to sleep………I may torment you………

 

Sun Mi: Just ten minute right Hyun Chul………after ten minutes………by all means you have to wake me up from sleeping……… 

 

Hyun Chul: Sshh!! (He moves his finger along Sun Mi’s lips)

(Before Hyun Chul and Sun Mi are aware………Hyun Chul hears the sound of Sun Mi’s breath level off as she falls asleep)

Hyun Chul: (He looks down firmly at Sun Mi’s face)………why are you being so obstinate with this matter………at once you crash into sleep………you are a fool!! 

You’re silly!! You are my sweetie!!

 

(Hyun Chul removes Sun Mi’s cell phone hanging from her neck………and turns off the cell phone’s power………he tries to intercept the faint sunlight entering the room………by pulling down the curtains………then after that Hyun Chul comes out from his room………)

 

#A HALL, MONTAGE

 

(For the sake of curious people anxious about Sun Mi’s whereabouts………Hyun Chul makes up some excuses for everyone………

At the end of the preparations………there is still large quantities of small jobs left over that they need people energy to help………Hyun Chul rolls up the sleeves of his dress shirt………then aggressively he helps the whole staff………

Supervisor Kim behaved shameless not helping anyone before………now in front of everybody he uses his strength to help………with every staff full strength and great rapidity………to get through all their work………)

 

#HYUN CHUL’S ROOM

 

(As Hyun Chul puts his suit jacket over his shoulder………he enters his room………

So far Sun Mi is deep in sleep without knowing anything happening in the whole world………Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi appearance with a bright smile………

Hyun Chul silently sits down at Sun Mi’s side as she sleeps………he looks at his wristwatch………a couple of hours have already passed by………)

 

Hyun Chul: (He touches both sides of Sun Mi’s shoulders with his both hands………he fixedly looks at Sun Mi’s face………she looks so peaceful and silent)………Huh!! You are a sleepy headed lady~~~~~~~~~(he smiles)

 

(Hyun Chul acts like he is going to touch and not to touch Sun Mi………he fumbles his finger tips toward Sun Mi’s face………he follows Sun Mi’s lovely thick lips………he gently draws a circle………

Hyun Chul stealthily climbs the top of the bed………then he silently lays his body down………for a long time he gazes at Sun Mi with eager ardent eyes………) 

 

Hyun Chul: (He runs his lips against Sun Mi’s ear) I love you Sun Mi~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: (for an instant………Sun Mi’s facial expression looks like she is having a happy and blissful dream………a faint smile flows at the corner of her mouth)

 

Hyun Chul: (His eyes stops abruptly for a moment)………You?? Are you pretending like you are asleep??………Right now?? Aren’t you?? 

 

Sun Mi: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: ………(once again he runs against Sun Mi’s ear)………I love you~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: (She acts like she feels soft fluffy cotton………there is no difference than before………a sweet smile spins around her mouth)

 

Hyun Chul: ………Jin Sun Mi………you not even afraid of………

 

Sun Mi: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: (He gets up and sit down with a smile on his face………it’s about time he has to really wake up Sun Mi) Sun Mi………wake up………(he lightly shakes Sun Mi’s shoulder)………Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………(for the second time he tries to shake Sun Mi………but Sun Mi doesn’t even move on inch………then this time………Hyun Chul whispers into Sun Mi’s ear)………Sun Mi wake up please~~~~~~~~~(but different from a little while ago there is no reaction from Sun Mi………with a more sweet and mellow voice) get up Sun Mi please~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: ~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: Oh my goodness………even when you sleep you understand every word that I’m saying………all right you must not want to wake up………but………it’s time for you to wake up………(he lightly pinches Sun Mi’s cheek)………Sun Mi………Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (She just turns her face toward the opposite direction)

 

Hyun Chul: Huh?? Oh boy………I’ve discovered Jin Sun Mi’s new countenance look………if you deep sleep from tiredness………then probably you won’t even know if someone comes and carries you away on their back………for that………it’s about time that you really should wake up………Sun Mi………(he pokes Sun Mi’s cheek a couple of times with his finger) Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (She rummages a little as if she is annoyed by him………then she remains unchanged)

 

Hyun Chul: Huh!! My goodness………now I don’t have a choice but………I have to devise a plan only as a last resource………this method………I absolutely didn’t want to use until we got married………(his facial expression looks like a little rascal) Jin Sun Mi………this method in every point was thoroughly brought upon by yourself………after you wake up don’t make unnecessary and irrelevant remarks right!!

(He makes a beaming smile………without a hurry he slowly moves nearer toward Sun Mi………but somehow he feels unnecessarily regrettable)………I’m really………my intention is pure………I’m just trying to wake you up………(he smiles………then he very carefully leans his body against Sun Mi………before Hyun Chul is aware the color of Hyun Chul’s playful eyes become very serious………his lips tremble quietly toward Sun Mi’s lips)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels some tenderness sweep over her body………then within a moment something heavily pressed down on her body) Umm~~~~~Umm~~~~~~~~~~

(Sun Mi beyond her capacity opens her eyes………she takes a good look around the place with her sense of feeling………then Sun Mi sees Hyun Chul wandering around the parts of her bosom………in an instant!! Sun Mi was shocked and her eyes become big and round eyes)

 

Hyun Chul: (He already forgot his original pure intentions………the sound of his breathing becomes wobbly)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (He stops abruptly for a moment!!! Then he acts as if nothing happened………he gets up and shakes himself off to stop what he was doing)

 

Sun Mi: (She jumps to her feet to get up and adjust her clothes) What!! What are you doing now!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (He looks in another direction and feels ashamed of himself) I was in the middle of trying to wake you up from sleeping………

 

Sun Mi: What!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: I told you I was in the middle of waking you up from sleeping………

 

Sun Mi: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: Well, I did expect you to behave like this………but Jin Sun Mi don’t you even think that I am a very guileful person………don’t try to rebuke me strongly………don’t treat me as if I’m trying to do something while you were asleep………truly………my only intention was just to wake you up………

 

Sun Mi: those words you just told me now………I have to believe you and trust you………

 

Hyun Chul: I really don’t care if you believe me or not………but………no matter how I tried to call you and shake you to wake up………you didn’t move an inch………well not only that………I even pinched you………and also poked my finger against your cheek a couple of times………but nothing was useful so what could I do?? That is why I had to think out a plan as the last method………(he smiles)………and as I expected it was one hundred percent efficient………

 

Sun Mi: (She looks at Hyun Chul with daggers as she still disbelieves him………she immediately tries to get up from the bed………then she finds her cell phone is missing from her neck) Oh my cell phone!!

 

Hyun Chul: (He stealthily brings out Sun Mi’s cell phone and he holds onto the phone line………then he jingles it in front of Sun Mi’s eyes)

 

Sun Mi: (In a flash Sun Mi takes away the cell phone from Hyun Chul’s hand then takes a good look at her cell phone………just as Sun Mi expected the cell phone power was off………Sun Mi looks daggers at Hyun Chul as her eyes become put forth more strength………then she turns the power on her cell phone)

 

Hyun Chul: (he made a smile and acts with a playful attitude)

 

Sun Mi: (She looks at the time inside her cell phone and her wristwatch………her eyes become larger and larger)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul in a moment has foreseen Sun Mi’s reaction………already he makes a distorted twisting face)

 

Sun Mi: Mr. Yun Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (he shrinks back…his facial expression is sweet and he just shut his eyes tightly) because you slept like you were very exhausted……… 

 

Sun Mi: How………how could you possibly do this to me………what kind of person am I!! My position!! (She acts truly mad………she gets up from the bed………in a hurry she puts her shoes back on) I’m a fool to trust you Hyun Chul………everything must be your intention………up to now I did not grasp the meaning………I’m a fool!!

 

Hyun Chul: Slow down………if you act like that………you will probably fall down

 

Sun Mi: (She looks daggers at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (He tries stingingly)

 

Sun Mi: (She tries to get out from Hyun Chul’s room then she turns around and looks at Hyun Chul) during those hours………where were you and what were you doing??

 

Hyun Chul: Huh?? What do you mean where was I and what was I doing………I continues………to stay in this place………

 

Sun Mi: (She can’t even breath)

 

Hyun Chul: I watched your sleeping habit………and then………I became agitated with excitement………then………(his eyes become very playful………he tries to perk up his shoulders)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s facial expression looks like she is ready to cry at any moment)

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………now you don’t have a choice but to marry me and be my wife…………

 

Sun Mi: I don’t think so!! Don’t even dream about it!! (She turns around and walks out of Hyun Chul’s room)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul smiles………then he lies down on his back………and looks at the ceiling………then Hyun Chul buries his face into the pillow that still smells like Sun Mi………he makes beaming smile)

 

#THE NEXT MORNING, IN FRONT OF SUN MI’S ROOM

 

Sun Mi: (After finishing preparing herself to leave her room………she steps forward outside her room door………Sun Mi sees Hyun Chul lean against the wall with his arms folded across his chest)

 

Hyun Chul: (with contracts his eyebrows as he winks at Sun Mi) Good morning!!!

 

Sun Mi: (She remains unchanged and her facial expression is displeased………she proceeds to the elevator)

 

Hyun Chul: (He chases after Sun Mi) Are you still mad at me………on this kind of beautiful day………on a special day like this………

 

Sun Mi: (She bring herself to a stop in front of the elevator)

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi~~~~~~(He peeps his face in front of Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (She lightly looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul) Why didn’t you tell me………

 

Hyun Chul: What??

 

Sun Mi: That after you put me to sleep………you went down to the hall and took my place working………

 

Hyun Chul: Ah Ha~~~~that……… 

 

Sun Mi: All the staff speaks highly about Mr. Director’s good hard work………in the future………every time the planning department has an ugly job………they all suggest Mr. Director as a special business service………

 

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

 

Sun Mi: (She look disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: Now, you are finished being mad at me right?? Umm?? 

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul pulls Sun Mi’s hand to take hold of it)………Today you just………stay well-behaved at my side………there is nothing else I hope for than that??

 

Sun Mi: You already know I can’t………why do you continue to ask me like that………anyhow………the seat next to Hyun Chul………that place is still not my place to sit……… 

 

Hyun Chul: I know many people are coming………truly it’s a very good opportunity for us………I may take this good opportunity………and announce our relationship to the public………I am going to open my mouth to everyone about this matter………

 

Sun Mi: Mr. Director Yun!!

 

Hyun Chul: (with his silent facial expression he looks at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……………………

 

Hyun Chul: I’ll let you go this time………after a while when we begin the celebration to start honoring the memory of the foundation………at that time you can’t do that………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: stop what you are doing………without reservation you have to run and appear in the very front of the line………I mean your appearance must come at once into my eyes………right you understand

 

Sun Mi: Yes…………..

 

Hyun Chul: Ah~~~~~~~~~once more I will prepare myself………to get ready to meet Mr. Chairman at the airport………you go down the hall first………

 

Sun Mi: (She nods her head)

 

#THE CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF THE MEMORY OF THE FOUNDATION 

 

(Beginning with Chairman Yun and his wife………all Hyun Chul’s family………the many numerous former members of the staff of the Moon Young group and the present day Moon Young group staff members………also………for the sake of today’s celebration………without hesitation many people have come from far away both Korean and foreign country people………there is a constant stream of great visitors………there is an atmosphere of celebration………the place becomes ripe and magnanimous………)

 

(However………there are images of brilliant pictures set up………as arranged disposed here and there………not in the least dispersed without moderation………in the middle of these uproarious people without hesitation their eyes catch onto the images of a pictures………their eyes come across………30 years of the persistent Moon Young group’s simple dignity and character as it miraculously harmonized with constant accomplishments………it’s old traditions unified with it’s modern day traditions………letting everyone to see…….the Moon Young group’s appearance today………)

 

Hyun Chul: (As he stands next to Chairman Yun’s side………more then any other day his facial expression becomes serious and solemn………the matter in his heart………there Hyun Chul receives the visiting guests one by one)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi sponsors and she is head of making progress with the workers………during the several months she prepared for this large celebration………at the present time Sun Mi is still unable to be seen by people in some places………busily she runs toward every where………taking a good look at the place………Sun Mi’s last passionate emotion toward her work)

 

Min Chul: (He lightly touches Hyun Chul’s back) Big Brother!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks back at sees Min Chul and Je Uhn) you two just got here??

 

Min Chul: You worked very hard Big Brother………

 

Hyun Chul: Min Chul………if you don’t mind today you can act as this family’s second son………and meet the guests………and go around to greet the other visitors………

 

Min Chul: All right………I get it………

 

Je Uhn: (She looks around the inside of the hall) because it’s the 30 year celebration………it can’t even compare to former years celebrations………this year is very magnificent………

 

Hyun Chul: Of course………for the sake of today’s celebration………you don’t even know how many numerous staff carried on with this matter with eager hard work day and night without any choice………(he makes a hazy smile)………especially one person………

 

Min Chul: (He tries to search with his eyes) Anyhow Big Brother!! Where is Miss Sun Mi??

 

Hyun Chul: I don’t know………as a matter of fact I’m also trying to look for her too………

 

Je Uhn: What are you trying to say?? What do you mean by those words?? 

 

Hyun Chul: (He make a cute twist on his face) I asked her a little while ago………not to go anywhere today and stay well-behaved by my side………but she told me her place is still not yet next to my side………(from his jaws he tries to point toward somewhere)………over there some place………she is probably eagerly running here and there right now………Oh boy!! She is so stubborn………

 

Je Uhn: Umm~~~~~~Miss Sun Mi is so wonderful and superb………

 

Min Chul: I thought about why you didn’t say a word………you finally say something like that………those kinds of words come out of your mouth……… 

 

(Finally Sun Dahl and Ju Hee arrive………the celebration in honor of the memory of the foundation starting curtain opens………the numerous people clap their hands in applause………Chairman Yun and Hyun Chul………and several executives go up to the stage………there chairs are already prepared for them………all the executives take a chair and sit down………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s eyes during all the hours search for Sun Mi………he informed Sun Mi that this matter was very important to him………so far Sun Mi still hasn’t shown up………Hyun Chul looks like he is mad a bit at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi carefully pass through between the tables………then she silently takes a seat directly next to the family’s table)

 

(The program of the ceremony continues………continuing is the sound of people’s clapping hands………filling up the inside of the hall)

 

Hyun Chul: (his behavior shows like he is a little mad that Sun Mi is late………he lightly distorts his face………his facial expression shows only dissatisfaction………toward Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (She makes a quiet smile toward Hyun Chul………she tries to make her face look sorry toward Hyun Chul)

 

(Chairman Yun and Hyun Chul………one after another………they give a short but polite welcome………continuously after that they transmit from each class stratum of society………congratulatory messages float around the hall with simplicity and clarity………)

 

(And then………today’s high-light………the film images that Jin Sun Mi’s edited together slowly come into view………beginning from when the Moon Young group came into the world………to when they cut the ribbon at the opening of the foundation………the origination of the Moon Young broadcasting station………to the foundation of each department………one by one following the group’s experiences………there are 30 years of pure matters of the Moon Young foundation showing………)

 

(And then at the last………like it was finished but then suddenly inside the large screen………appears someone’s appearance………inside the hall all of the people become surprised and amazed………they all begin to be noisy………the Moon Young’s founder and first Chairman………Chairman Yun’s father………and Hyun Chul’s grandfather………)

 

(The first Chairman gives a speech to inform the people that the Moon Young group has come into the world………his sincere message is transmitted toward his employees………his appearance during his lifetime was as is………the sound spreads out full of life………)

 

(The atmosphere of the hall is wrapped in solemn silence………already Mrs. Lee wipes up her tear………also Chairman Yun and Hyun Chul eyes become slightly wet………something faint comes to bear………)

 

(Then there is a close-up………as the screen stops the face of the founding Chairman of the Moon Young group come on the screen………inside the hall the bright light come on………they all are unable to rise easily with their heads down………as they praise the first Chairman………for a little while everywhere is the flow of devout silence………)

 

(At that time………as they break off from silence………someone begins to clap their hands in applause and it spreads through out the hall………then they start to get up from their seats one by one………then all the people get up from their seats………there he cannot be found for he was already gone………but they remember the first Chairman’s intentions as his memory remains for eternity………and they make sure to follow the first Chairman’s intention………together along with the clapping hands of applause………finish completely in a very beautiful way………)

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s eyes are deeply touched and become moist as they look at each other………there Hyun Chul and Sun Mi hearts turn toward each)

 

Hyun Chul: (Jin Sun Mi………Jin Sun Mi………Jin Sun Mi………Jin Sun Mi……..Jin Sun Mi~~~~~she made surprised and moved everyone with this touching and inspiring film image………now all the peoples’ mind and hearts become one………Hyun Chul tries to call her name without speaking and counting………he would like to immediately go down to the floor………and embrace Sun Mi tightly in his arms and give her a deep kiss………he would like to transmit his heart toward Sun Mi)

 

(However this is only for the sake of Hyun Chul………Sun Mi transmits a present toward Hyun Chul) 

 

Sun Mi: (Only for Hyun Chul………she would like to inform Hyun Chul………about his grandfather’s appearance and the sound of his voice………also she would like to let Hyun Chul become aware of his grandfather’s deep intentions………like Min Chul’s words………not anymore is Hyun Chul’s capability be forced to settle just on his responsibilities and duties………she wants to make sure and let Hyun Chul’s capabilities be guided by loving himself while doing his duties………it’s going to shine and guide his way………Sun Mi believes this matter is the best beacon to guide Hyun Chul’s way………this is completely prepared for the sake of Hyun Chul………it’s Sun Mi’s love present for him) 

 

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 17 Part 2

 

original story by margaret

 

Translated by KM

 

(It is time to start the dinner)

 

Mrs. Lee: (She looks around at the surroundings) where is Sun Mi??

 

Je Uhn: She is sitting over there at the other party’s table mother………

 

Mrs. Lee: It would be nice………if she came here to eat a meal with us………(she turns to look at Hyun Chul)………the company’s people………they still don’t know about the relationship between you two?? Does this matter still have to be kept a secret??

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi………Sun Mi sits together with Ju Hee and Sun Dahl)

 

Chairman Yun: Go and bring her to this table………

 

(The whole family turns their eyes toward Chairman Yun)

 

Chairman Yun: On this kind of day………all the family should be together with each other………since she has already come to my house to greet my whole family………she is already like my daughter-in-law……… 

 

Hyun Chul: ………Yes Sir I understand………(he gets up from his seat with a beaming smile on his face)

 

(People only wonder about rumors pertaining to this matter………now is the instant to clarify the matter and reveal the actual truth………all together at once their eyes look toward Hyun Chul’s family table………it doesn’t take much to throw their energy onto that matter………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s relationship………notifying all the people………all at the same time………Chairman Yun formally lets all the people know………..that the family already approves of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s relationship………it is shown extremely sincere and natural………but it is also very important to show this matter at this place………)

 

Chairman Yun: Sun Mi………during the past few days………you must have worked very hard………

 

Sun Mi: No father Yun not at all………naturally I did all that I should have done………

 

Min Chul: I heard from my Big Brother’s word………for the sake of preparing the film………you had to take lessons on how to do editing………today I was very impressed by the last scene………did you produce that piece of work Miss Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: (Her eyes search for Hyun Chul………then she drops her head down lightly) 

Yes Mr. Min Chul………

 

Chairman Yun: Oh you did………(a gratified smile spreads all over his face)………you did………Ha ha ha………

 

Hyun Chul: (His facial expression looks as if deep in thought and then he slowly holds up his head………then he gazes at Sun Mi)

 

(After finishing eating the meal………

All of Hyun Chul’s family goes to meet with guests………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul just sit down and absentmindedly watch over the family’s vacant seats)

 

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul is seldom without words………Sun Mi occasionally takes a good look at Hyun Chul’s side appearance………she holds tightly onto her water glass)

 

Hyun Chul: (He looks back at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (She is aware of Hyun Chul looking at her………without hurry Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul too)

 

Hyun Chul: ………Come with me please………(he gets up from his seat)

 

#AN EMERGENCY EXIT

 

Hyun Chul: (He leans against the wall with both his hands in his trouser pockets………then he waits for Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (She confirms Hyun Chul’s appearance………she brings herself to a stop from approaching Hyun Chul any farther………she just stands)

 

Hyun Chul: Come close by me please………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: What are you doing………I told you come close by me………

 

Sun Mi: (She steps nearer to Hyun Chul………then she stands in front of Hyun Chul)

 

(Hyun Chul’s eyes fumble slowly to look at Sun Mi’s face………

He pulls one of his hands out from his trousers………he wraps his hand tightly around Sun Mi’s waist………Hyun Chul tries to run his lips against Sun Mi’s warm neck………)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………(she’s quite at a loss as she tries to push Hyun Chul away)

 

(However and yet………as much as Hyun Chul himself is deeply impressed by Sun Mi transmitting those matters………now at this moment………Hyun Chul eagerly desires Sun Mi………Hyun Chul tries to support Sun Mi’s head from going down………then he moves his lips to flow down Sun Mi’s beautiful neck line………)

 

(As Hyun Chul’s behavior becomes more intrepid toward Sun Mi………he sets his feelings in order to control himself………he feels unsatisfied as he holds his deep breath………and Hyun Chul’s lips keep apart from Sun Mi………then Hyun Chul tries to lightly carry Sun Mi to lean against the wall………he locks Sun Mi in both of his arms………then he gently brings his forehead into contact with Sun Mi’s forehead and closes his eyes………)

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: For you………I haven’t done anything for you………but you………why me………why do you make me feel very regrettable toward you………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Beyond my capacity my heart grows so much………I feel like my heart is about ready to explode………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (He quietly opens his eyes and looks at Sun Mi)………how do you think of these kinds of praiseworthy ideas………

 

Sun Mi: (With a faint smile in the corner of her mouth)

 

Hyun Chul: in all my heart……….I want to give you the best present………but I think you are going to be too surprised………so don’t you know………I have very much controlled myself firmly up until now………

 

Sun Mi: (Her face becomes reddish………her eyes gaze at the floor)

 

Hyun Chul: (So far Hyun Chul’s heart still feels warm………he tightly embraces Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: All right Hyun Chul………I understand everything in your heart………now we better get back inside the hall………probably everyone is looking for us………

 

Hyun Chul: Huhh~~~~I cannot possibly stay here like this………as it is I cannot let my heart become cool………(he unties Sun Mi from his arms………then he grabs Sun Mi’s hand) Let’s get out of here………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………………………

 

Hyun Chul: I really don’t care what you told me………from now on I’m going to act as I feel………

 

#THE SEASHORE

 

(A breeze of quite chilly air blows occasionally………

Hyun Chul takes his coat………like a blanket………he firmly wraps Sun Mi in his coat………unintentionally he looks at the rising of the ocean surf………)

 

Hyun Chul: Are you cold??

 

Sun Mi: No not yet………

 

Hyun Chul: If you’re cold you still have to be patient………I’m going to stay like this for about one hour………as I feel………I should like to jump into the ocean………

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s hair flutters in waves from the breezy air………Hyun Chul feels ticklish on his face as he buries his lips)

 

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s warm body temperature………wraps around Sun Mi’s whole body)

 

Hyun Chul: I have to proceed and carry on down the road of my duty expectations………I don’t have any choice but to just proceed forward down that road………that is why I did what I did………until now………however………(he slowly closely touches Sun Mi’s cheek………he gently brings his cheek into contact with Sun Mi’s cheek) 

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Watching my grandfather’s appearance………many thoughts passed through my mind……….

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Grandfather and Father………I have become a successor to follow after my grandfather and father’s continuing success………I didn’t know………how sublimely grand and worthy that matter is………how much I have to follow very important responsibilities………I didn’t know that until today………I have become aware of every matter today………

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: This year I will be thirty one years old………so I was brought into this world thirty one years ago………the Moon Young group came into this world along together with me………(he smiles)………by fate we are the same age………during all that time………I wonder how many complicated experiences he went through………but until the present time he protected and kept guard over the strong and steady Moon Young group………probably he felt like he was trying to raise his own son………and yet I try to compare such affection to my useless emotions………those presents given me from my grandfather and my father……it is more than I deserve………I interpret what ever I please………at one time I even considered pitying myself………

 

Sun Mi: No you do not………I know………how you did your best to move forward in your duties……….

 

Hyun Chul: Probably from the outward appearance………I know I don’t love my duties with my whole heart………

 

Sun Mi: (She turns around to look at Hyun Chul’s face)………Hyun Chul………(Hyun Chul’s eyes become slightly wet………Sun Mi moves her hand along Hyun Chul’s eyes)

 

(Hyun Chul is aware of Sun Mi’s hand moving silently toward him………he just closes his eyes………Sun Mi considers Hyun Chul’s heart and feelings………with her eager hand………one by one………she touches Hyun Chul………at last………her trembling lips softly run against Hyun Chul’s lips………then away………Sun Mi’s face becomes reddish as she moves her body deep into Hyun Chul’s chest………) 

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul holds Sun Mi in his arms………Hyun Chul more tightly draws Sun Mi into an embrace)………Sun Mi………from now on………my duty and my position………occasionally I have stress like I am suffocating………but now I am going to love even that stress………from now on I want to do my duty favorably………without straying away from my Grandfather’s intentions and purpose………without undergoing changes………to the top Moon Young group’s traditions………I will construct and build up my individuality………by all means I really want to do that………

 

Sun Mi: (Before she is aware Sun Mi’s tears run down her cheek………she makes Hyun Chul’s collar wet)

 

Hyun Chul: ………I have self-confidence in myself………because you are at my side………you understand me better than anyone………consider and calculate……….I have such person as you at my side………(he takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand tightly………they entwine their fingers)………Sun Mi let us go together into the future………right………together………

 

Sun Mi: (For the first time………Hyun Chul’s appearance shows that finally he has found how to move himself forward down his road………that makes Sun Mi continue to have tears run down her cheek non-stop………as she buries her head into Hyun Chul’s chest………with all her strength she gives Hyun Chul a nod of her head)

 

#A MONTAGE

 

(The celebration in honor of the memory of the foundation finishes with great success………at that opportunity Sun Mi begins to be receive approval of her work………

Everyone recognizes Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s relationship has been approved publicly………this causes Sun Mi’s fellow workers to keep themselves at a respectable distance from Sun Mi………as Sun Mi tries hard to show there is no change in her position then from before………she works more hard as she fights alone and unsupported………little by little she settles down her work place………)

 

(In the meantime………Sun Dahl and Ju Hee get married in a magnificent wedding………many people go through to give their blessings to these two people………

Hyun Chul gazes at Sun Dahl and Ju Hee………his eyes look really envious of these two people………

Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul’s appearance………her heart is filled by an endless anxious feeling about Hyun Chul………) 

 

=====================TWO MONTH LATER=======================

 

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

Hyun Chul: (As he holds up his phone) today don’t come to the parking lot………let’s meet at the front lobby………

 

Sun Mi: Huh?? Why??

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi you told me before………that you go and come to your office………riding the subway train, right………I want to go with you today……… I want to ride the subway train once with you………

 

Sun Mi: Well, then how are you going to come to work tomorrow morning?………

 

Hyun Chul: Tomorrow morning?? Well………I guess the same way as today………….I will ride the subway train to come to work tomorrow……… 

 

Sun Mi: Well, you will ride and transfer trains by yourself………it’s going to be quite complicated………you will probably roam around the subway and be late for work………

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: Also there are too many people on the subway………Hyun Chul………your wonderful clothes will get all crumpled and wrinkled………

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!!! Are you going to continue to irritate me?………

 

Sun Mi: (she smiles) all right………then let’s meet in the lobby………

 

Hyun Chul: (He looks at the disconnected telephone and makes a smile)

 

#INSIDE THE SUBWAY TRAIN 

 

(It is rush hour and a lot of people are trying to go home from work………these people are swept away at once………after a while of leisure………the train shakes like it is in a good mood………from the corner of one side of the train………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul take hold of each other’s hand tightly as they meet each other’s face………what is it that makes them look so delightful………what kind of conversion do they like to talk about………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul are linked together continuously talking with each other………then both they’re facial expressions have very happy smiles that don’t leave their faces for a moment………)

 

Hyun Chul: I think riding the subway train suddenly is very good for me………I don’t have to be nervous about another car crashing into my car………I don’t have to pay attention to the front and back or the right and left………we can go home without all those matters and I can just spend the entire time just looking at you………

 

Sun Mi: (She just makes a smile)

 

Hyun Chul: From now on………from time to time I’m going to ride this subway train………what do you think about that Sun Mi………would you like that?

 

Sun Mi: (She nods her head)

 

Hyun Chul: Anyhow………(he looks around) inside the subway train people can’t kiss each other?………Maybe it is considered a crime of disturbing the public morality, right?

 

Sun Mi: (She lightly grimaces at Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: No don’t get so excited….…I was just curious about the matter………

 

Sun Mi: (She can’t stop Hyun Chul from what he is doing………she just smiles)

 

(When Hyun Chul and Sun Mi ride up an escalator………

Hyun Chul lets Sun Mi stand in front of him………

Hyun Chul gently takes Sun Mi’s waist under his arms………he lays his face against Sun Mi’s shoulder………)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi stealthily pays attention to the surrounding people………but everyone without looking at Hyun Chul and Sun Mi just go their separate ways off the train………only after that………Sun Mi comfortably leans her body into Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (In a short moment………he puts his mouth onto Sun Mi’s ear………and whisper something………unlike the other people they are filled with emotion………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul have a thrilling joy………like a magnet they hold each other’s hands firmly………and there they enjoy each other for the remainder of their journey………

 

#IN FRONT OF SUN MI’S HOUSE

 

Hyun Chul: (completely unsatisfied) we are already here………(he lightly sigh) 

 

Sun Mi: (Her fingers fumble with Hyun Chul’s collar)

 

Hyun Chul: This coming semester………you should register for a Master/PhD with the university………

 

Sun Mi: No, not now………now I’m just getting ready to settle down………I don’t wish to damage the planning department with my studies………also………this coming fall I will begin to attend to my studies………

 

Hyun Chul: (He grips Sun Mi’s nose and pulls it lightly………he looks at Sun Mi and his facial expression becomes provoking)

 

Sun Mi: ?

 

Hyun Chul: You never think about my feelings………you have to quickly finish your studies………so that I can quickly bring you home with me………it has already been delayed half a year………Sun Mi, you’re too easy going………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels regrettable toward Hyun Chul………her eyes look down at the ground) 

 

Hyun Chul: (Toward the empty sky) Ahh~~~~~ probably………it must be nice that the time passes quickly (he sees Sun Mi’s appearance remain unchanged as she looks regrettable toward Hyun Chul) What I’m saying………is that I don’t mean to give you a shoulder of burden………sorry………sorry………so sorry Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Also………I am not fascinated by anybody that only looks to live for me………it’s all right to make me wait………it’s right to be make me anxious………I like the person that is self-confident………that is eager to put matters into order………helps themselves gain independence………therefore………occasionally I talk without thinking………I grumble and complain………don’t take my words too seriously ………please Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: You know?? my heart, right??

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi eyes fill with tears)

 

Hyun Chul: (He embrace Sun Mi warmly and gently) Anyhow………I know everything about how you feel pertaining to this matter………your heart feels very difficult because of your father………right??

 

Sun Mi: (Her tears drip down her cheek)

 

(Looking through the large living room window………there Gyu Sung watches Sun Mi and Hyun Chul’s eager appearance toward each other………

Everyday they take a longer time to part from each other………

Gyu Sung can read their hearts………little by little those two people become more deep………Gyu Sung sighs deeply………then he turns around toward his room with his facial expression looks like he is determined to do something………)

 

#SUN MI’S HOUSE: THE LIVING ROOM

 

Sun Mi: (She enters her house) I’m home Daddy………

 

Gyu Sung: How was your day………

 

Sun Mi: I’m sorry Daddy…… I always come home late like this………

 

Gyu Sung: Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Yes Daddy………

 

Gyu Sung: If you don’t mind, can you tell Mr. Yun………that before this weekend………if he doesn’t mind………can he drop in at visit my house once………

 

Sun Mi: Why Daddy………is something the matter with you??

 

Gyu Sung: After he comes to visit my house you will probably come to know all about the matter………anyhow just tell him like that………

 

Sun Mi: Yes Daddy………. 

 

Gyu Sung: You are probably tired………you better go upstairs quickly and rest………hurry………

 

#A FEW DAYS LATER, SUN MI’S HOUSE: THE LIVING ROOM

 

(These three people wonder how long they have been silent………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul wait for Gyu Sung to break the silence………Sun Mi and Hyun Chul’s facial expressions look nervous………)

 

Gyu Sung: My daughter Sun Mi………how long………do you intend to live like this?

 

Hyun Chul: Huh?? Sir??

 

Gyu Sung: Well~~~~~ I think you should marry my daughter Sun Mi as soon as possible!!!!

 

Sun Mi: Daddy!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: Sir!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Gyu Sung: Well, in my view you’re not a young man anymore………all the more reason to take the matter in your hands as a great enterprise………you should quickly tie the knot with my daughter so that you can have a family and discover a secure life………that way you can plan more for this great thing in your hands………I’m sure your parents………also probably would like for you two to hurry and marry as soon as possible………

 

Hyun Chul: No Sir!!………I don’t think they are sir!!………

 

Gyu Sung: What do you mean “No”………are you trying to tell me………that you still………don’t even understand your parents intentions………even if there are no remarks from your parents………that doesn’t mean they don’t have any thoughts about the matter………they are probably waiting for Sun Mi and you………to go ahead and tell them about this matter………you can’t even consider the feelings inside their hearts………if you don’t mind you better immediately tell them about this matter at once tomorrow………

 

Sun Mi: Daddy why are you suddenly acting like this………I haven’t even settled my heart about the marriage yet………I have too many things to take care………

 

Gyu Sung: What things?!!………Those things can’t be taken care after you get married?……… 

 

Sun Mi: Daddy………

 

Gyu Sung: How can you only think about just your thoughts………and only think about our feelings as is………you have to think about Mr. Yun’s position………and also you have to think about Mr. Yun’s parents position………

 

Sun Mi: Daddy………

 

Gyu Sung: By any chance………is it because of me that you hesitate to get married………you can’t decide not the get married based on that kind of thought………your daddy is still amazing………don’t treat me like some old man in the back room………

 

Sun Mi: Daddy why are you really doing this………(without being aware large drops of tears fall down Sun Mi’s cheek)

 

Gyu Sung: Are you going to live with me your whole life??

 

Sun Mi: Daddy don’t………don’t say anymore………Hhuuu………(she sobs)

 

Hyun Chul: (with his head looking down………Hyun Chul tightly bites his bottom lip)

 

Gyu Sung: I’m a conservative man………every night you two’s appearance is like that………already the whole village’s people have seen you two’s behavior………it has taken a very long time for you two to show your love………that matter in front of other people’s eyes does not make you two look right………(toward to Hyun Chul) if you don’t mind can you mention this matter to your parents………as soon as possible I would like to meet with your parents………

 

Hyun Chul: Sir!! We are still not yet………

 

Gyu Sung: (He gets up from his seat) It doesn’t matter………don’t you even think about trying to persuade me to change my mind………

 

(Gyu Sung already enters his room………Sun Mi knows her father’s feeling more than anyone else………with pain in her heart………tears continue to fall down her cheeks………it is like she can’t stop easily………next to Sun Mi………Hyun Chul feels like he has become a criminal………the circumstances like this………makes him unable to even speak a word to Sun Mi………even there Hyun Chul’s eyes become a little wet………) 

 

#IN FRONT OF “J” HIGH SCHOOL

 

(Hyun Chul takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand………Sun Mi sink down into sad thought………they continue to walk without any thought and where ever their feet move………before Hyun Chul and Sun Mi is aware they arrive at this place………)

 

Sun Mi: ………this is Daddy’s school………

 

Hyun Chul: We should go in??

 

Sun Mi: Yes………

 

#A SCHOOL PLAYGROUND

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi look at the dark gloomy campus school grounds………there Hyun Chul and Sun Mi take a seat side by side in a bench………)

 

Hyun Chul: Ahhh~~~~~ I remember the old days………(he turns to look at Sun Mi………Sun Mi silently looks down………her facial expression looks very sad………that is why Hyun Chul tries to behave more cheerful………) Jin Sun Mi during my old high school days………you don’t know how popular I was with the females………as I would come out from the school gate………every female student would be lined up waiting for me………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: I’m not even an actor or entertainer………but if they saw me………they would scream and cry out for me………those female’s behaved like toward to me made me become a little tired and weary about such matters……… 

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Forced by my friends………I even met with some females………just once!! I did really just once!!………Anyhow I didn’t even like it a little bit………so I told my friends absolutely not to take me to that kind of place………I did good, right Sun Mi?? 

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (He doesn’t even know if Sun Mi is listening to his words………but he just continues) Nowadays school students still sneak out and get some food to eat………in my time………in the middle of studying we would feel a bit hungry………we would jump over the fence to buy some food………we did that………but this school………the fence is quite high to jump over………nowadays these school students………are going to have a very difficult with that kind of behavior………right Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: I’m fine Hyun Chul………therefore don’t make a hard effort to mind me………

 

Hyun Chul: (But Sun Mi tries to avoid Hyun Chul as her eyes once again become teary………Hyun Chul feels very uneasy in his mind and turns his head to somewhere else………at that time………in the distance below the basketball goal………Hyun Chul can see a round object………he gets up from the bench and runs towards the object) ………Sun Mi!!!!! 

 

Sun Mi: (She lifts up her head)

 

Hyun Chul: (he has the basketball in his hands………and he walks near to Sun Mi) Kids must have left behind this basketball………it has been a long time since I played basketball………maybe I should work out my body………(he takes off his dress coat and hands it over to Sun Mi) 

 

Sun Mi: (she takes Hyun Chul dress coat and holds it with her hand………then she lays Hyun Chul’s coat on top of her lap)

 

Hyun Chul: I can’t play without an audience………(he leads Sun Mi by the hand………and takes Sun Mi close to the basketball goal)………don’t take your eyes off of me………take a good look at me………all right Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: (She makes a little smile) Yes, I will……… 

 

(For the sake of Sun Mi’s sadness Hyun Chul tries to calm her down and comfort her heart………as much as Sun Mi has sadness in her heart………Hyun Chul………for the sake of comforting her there is a tingling pain in his heart………he begins to play by himself………whitish dust rises from the sand court………so far the night air is still chilly………Hyun Chul tries to pass those matters by making a gorgeous brilliant show………from dribbling………to making a dunk shot………then he also did lay-ups………he didn’t forget to take a good look at Sun Mi’s facial expression………)

 

(Sun Mi gazes at Hyun Chul………there Sun Mi makes a calm faint smile………Hyun Chul one by one pours all his heart toward Sun Mi………Sun Mi transmits her heart as she looks at Hyun Chul with anxious and eager eyes………pushing all her breath up………she tries to cheer for Hyun Chul without knowing how to stop and just go through passionate emotions………) 

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………(he walks up to Sun Mi with panting breath)

 

Sun Mi: (She looks at Hyun Chul………his face was full of sweat) Why don’t you stop now………you look very tired………

 

Hyun Chul: No, not yet………I tell you it’s not fun to play by myself………let’s play together………

 

Sun Mi: Huh?? I don’t know how to play basketball………

 

Hyun Chul: There is no such thing as can’t play basketball………(he takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand and pulls her toward the goal………he throws his dress coat roughly under the basketball goal)………Well let’s begin!!

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul, I really don’t know how to play basketball………

 

Hyun Chul: The game has already begun!!

 

(Sun Mi just stands absentmindedly………Hyun Chul tries to sway Sun Mi right and left………this way and that way………run back and forth………turn around and around………then he begins to dribble………Sun Mi feels like she has lost her mind and soul………she just moves as Hyun Chul tries to lead………she just half-sits and half-rises as she hesitates………she is just dragged by Hyun Chul………but somehow Sun Mi’s face forms a smile at the corner of her mouth………and little by little a delightful smile begins to spread across her face………)

 

Hyun Chul: Yes………player Jin Sun Mi………take the ball away from me………(he tries to make Sun Mi’s hands hold the basketball)……….yes………she tries to go forth with an excellent dribble………(he tries easily to hold up Sun Mi………and takes her to the basketball goal)………we don’t know what kind of shot she is going to put up into the goal………we all look forward to this shot………Ahh~~~ we see the way she appears………she looks like she is after a dunk shot………Ahh~~~~………but there is something that will make her shot very difficult………her height is very tiny………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………(a flow of laughter comes out without discrimination)

 

Hyun Chul: No matter how much she is my enemy………this time I should help her………that is good manners………(he firmly holds Sun Mi’s hip with both of his hands………then he lifts Sun Mi up)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……… 

 

Hyun Chul: Uhmm~~~~~~~Miss Jin Sum Mi………you are kind of heavy………quickly make the shot to the goal and come down, hurry please………

 

Sun Mi: (She smiles………she stretches both of her arms………then she puts the basketball in the goal)

 

Hyun Chul: Shoot!! It’s a goal!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: (She is full bloom with a bright smile)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul slowly loosens his tight hold onto Sun Mi’s waist………he gently puts Sun Mi down onto the ground………then he wraps his arms around Sun Mi’s waist and draws her near him………then he piercingly gazes at Sun Mi’s big eyes)

 

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s forehead and face are thoroughly wet with sweat………Sun Mi tries to wipe up Hyun Chul’s sweat with the back of her hand) Oh my goodness look at this sweat………I don’t understand why you always put so much into every matter………like it is your whole life………

 

Hyun Chul: that is right………like work………like love………also………and like kiss too………(he slowly moves near to Sun Mi………their lips lightly touch each other………without tremors going through their heart………they just stay in silence………finally he just tightly embraces Sun Mi in his arms)

 

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul is full of sweat………pungent sweat smell………it deeply transmits to Sun Mi)

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: …………Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Yes………

 

Hyun Chul: ………I………I will really be good to you………your father………I will try my best not to make your father become heartbroken from letting you go from his side………really I will try my best to take care of you………therefore………don’t cry anymore………and don’t make yourself feel pain like this………please come………to me………Jin Sun Mi………Hmm?………It can’t be?………please Sun Mi………come with me………come to my side………

 

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul speaks frankly………like deep sweat………Sun Mi’s heart sinks down deep………and gathers together in her tears)

 

(Under a dark night sky………without moonlight………without the light of one star………there Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………watch over each other’s side………they can already see the bright light approaching after their hazy tears………)

#IN FRONT OF HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

(Like a slide………Hyun Chul lightly brings his car to a stop in front of his condo)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi is deep in thought………suddenly she wakes up) This place is………

Hyun Chul: I’m sorry Sun Mi………without saying a word………I brought you to this place………if you don’t mind, can you come with me upstairs to my condo for just a little while??

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: ………Let’s have a cup of coffee………

Sun Mi: ………All right Hyun Chul………

#HYUN CHUL’S CONDO

(It’s the early evening………it’s a rather obscure and dark inside the room in Hyun Chul’s condo………Hyun Chul doesn’t even have a thought as he tries to turn on a light………there are places that still need some light………he just holds Sun Mi’s hand and walks with long steps leading Sun Mi inside his room………)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul! Don’t you think this place need lig~~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: ………(without a word Hyun Chul makes Sun Mi sit on his sofa)

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: Just sit down for a little while………please………

(His behavior is like he already knows how to custom his movements………Hyun Chul proceeds toward somewhere………all of the sudden there is a sound of a snap!!………a bright flame rises up………and is placed in the middle of the table………a candlestick has been lit………a faint light glows throughout the room………the atmosphere becomes deeply profound………)

(Hyun Chul moves toward the side………there is already suspended music playing from the stereo………Hyun Chul lets the sound of music come from the stereo………then he tries to pick up something from under the music stereo………)

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi appreciate the candlelight and the sound of quiet music………more than any other time………Sun Mi sits elegantly and gracefully………Hyun Chul walks near to Sun Mi………he bends his knees so that his delicate eyes can meet with Sun Mi’s eyes………)

(They silently and deeply give and receive glances from each other eyes………they slowly smile at each other………but they don’t even know why………around Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s eyes become slightly wet too………as his heart becomes anxiously worried………he holds Sun Mi’s face in both of his hands………then he gently brings his forehead in contact with Sun Mi’s forehead letting himself be conscious of Sun Mi………)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Yes, Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Just now I’m………very much trembling………can you feel………

Sun Mi: ………(she quietly closes her eyes)

Hyun Chul: I didn’t hear your answer from last time………if you don’t mind can you tell me now………I would like to hear it………I would like to hear it by all means today, please Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: (She takes her forehead away from Hyun Chul………then she gazes into Hyun Chul’s eyes………and then her eyes look down)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to gently hold up Sun Mi’s chin………the expression of his eyes becomes eager) Mmm??

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi takes away Hyun Chul’s hand and guides it down)………if you don’t mind Hyun Chul can you tell me those words once more please………(Sun Mi takes her hand and places it on Hyun Chul’s chest) with all your heart confess………please tell me once more………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul takes his hand and places in on top of Sun Mi’s hand) Sure………of course!! As many time as you wish………(Hyun Chul with a trembling hand………he brings out a small case that he was hiding inside his pocket………a clear bright sparkling ring………gently hangs on to Hyun Chul’s finger tip)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s eyes quiver)

(From Hyun Chul’s finger tip….. the light bouncing off the clear brightly sparkling ring moves………to Sun Mi’s slender finger………without mixing breath with the silence………Sun Mi’s tears flow………scattered inside the darkness………)

Hyun Chul: (with a beautiful courtship pose………Hyun Chul looks up at Sun Mi)………Sun Mi please be with me………please marry me………your tears and smile………I would like to always share these together with you………you at my side………everlasting love forever………

Sun Mi: (As she keeps to hold tears fully in her eyes)………(she quietly nods her head at Hyun Chul)………Yes………Yes I will………

(Hyun Chul sinks down into overflowing happiness and bliss………beyond his capacity………he doesn’t know what to do with so much happiness and bliss………he quietly goes nearer to Sun Mi………)

(Like a burning candlelight………like the music becoming deeper………Hyun Chul makes sure to love Sun Mi with his whole heart………and love her………again and again he promises himself to love her for his whole life………Hyun Chul pledges to live his whole life for Sun Mi………in this whole world………the most precious person to Hyun Chul is Sun Mi………he tries very tenderly and gently to embrace Sun Mi………)

#A BREAK ROOM

Ju Hee: Oh my goodness~~~~~~~~ here is dutiful daughter Jin Sun Mi………you should be full of happiness and joy………but because you worry about your father you don’t even look like a happy person at all………

Sun Mi: (She just makes a delicate smile)

Ju Hee: Nevertheless despite all that………people usually get married once………it’s like you get to do this only once in your whole life time………therefore Sun Mi, I think………you should carry on with happy and joyful thoughts………please keep that in your mind………all right………

Sun Mi: Well………Senior………as a matter of fact I feel I should hesitate but my heart without hesitation which makes me feel more regrettable toward my father……because I am happy and joyful

Ju Hee: That’s good………probably your father hopes and wishes your thoughts to be like that………

Sun Mi: (her eyes look down to floor)………after all I’m the same as any other person………I must be same as those indecisive human beings………

Ju Hee: (She firmly holds Sun Mi’s hand in her hand………then she tries to change the atmosphere) how about the preparations………how are the preparations for the wedding coming along?………

Sun Mi: I can’t really call them preparations………as instructed by Hyun Chul’s father and mother………they mentioned as a matter of fact not to bring any marriage gifts to them………since my father always believed that there are too much excessive spending on marriages he feels he needs to eradicate this for all people involved………so they all gathered together to discuss their opinions………really………truly they’re have not prepared anything at all………I don’t know if it should be like this………but it’s all right like this Senior………

Ju Hee: (She just smiles) then………so far you’re very fortunate………both sides of the older in-laws have very well matched intentions………right………Hmm???

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi makes a smile………then she becomes very serious) I understand very well………Hyun Chul’s father and mother made those decisions because of me………they are trying to give me a lot of consideration………my mother is not here………and I’m also very busy with my duties………that is why………

Ju Hee: ………Mr. Chairman………and Mr. Chairman’s wife………they are very good-natured people right………this matter I also became aware of after I got married………as much as I know about my husband………you don’t know how much I had to become sensitive about relationship with all my husband’s family………well, I guess from this type of matter………you surely have received very good fortune and blessing………

Sun Mi: Yes, Senior………I know very well……….

Ju Hee: Anyhow………about Mr. Director………don’t you think his emotional facial expression is really too straight-forward………

Sun Mi: I don’t understand Senior………what do you mean by that??

Ju Hee: Every time I meet with Mr. Director………all the time he shows a very happy smile………his smile spreads from ear to ear………at this broadcasting station………there are many old bachelors that haven’t gotten married yet………(she pinch Sun Mi’s cheek lightly) did you know………especially about you………how many of these old bachelors have placed you in their own hearts………I can’t even count………

Sun Mi: …………………………………

Ju Hee: if he continues to excessively show such behavior like he is so glad and joyful about this marriage without concern about any of the old bachelor feelings………those old bachelors are going to hate Mr. Director………

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Ju Hee: Indeed I definitely understand how Mr. Director feels………he has such a lovely person like Jin Sun Mi………I understand I guess he should be happy………

Sun Mi: Well, Umm~~~~~~something just crossed my mind………a few month ago I also saw team leader Mr. Kim behave like he had a smile stretched across his face from ear to ear………

(Sun Mi and Ju Hee’s sound like they are in a good mood…..laughing loudly………the sound spreads out into the far distance)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Sun Dahl: Tut!! Good heavens………what did you tell me before………you told me that the time was not right for you to get married!!………oh boy you said that………and then you keep up with me by immediately getting married to Miss Sun Mi following my marriage………

Hyun Chul: This matter is for the sake of Seniors………don’t you know an old bachelor only knows about an old bachelor’s feelings………now that I have to adjust to your married man’s life………don’t you think I have to become the same position………

Sun Dahl: Oh boy you have every point of view………(he looks disapprovingly out of the corner of his eyes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

Sun Dahl: You are so happy that even if you died here it wouldn’t bother you??

Hyun Chul: You already know………why do you ask like that………

Sun Dahl: Hyun Chul………you don’t need any advice from me………(his eyes become suggestive)………for example………on your first honeymoon night………do you have any idea how to conduct yourself and what general principles to follow………something like that………

Hyun Chul: Why do I need to know about that kind of matter………I only need to love someone in my heart………I think that is good enough, don’t you agree??

Sun Dahl: Oh you do………you only need to love someone in your heart………right do what ever you wish………

Hyun Chul: Don’t worry about it??

Sun Dahl: Oh yes………anyhow………where have you decided to go on your honeymoon??

Hyun Chul: Well………I still haven’t decided yet………where is a nice place to go………

Sun Dahl: It’s about the honeymoon………you don’t need go to an extravagant place for your honeymoon trip………probably you would unnecessarily waste time………you won’t have time to look around at anything………you will be busy spending time together with each other………as a matter of fact what ever time you have will not be enough for you………you should just go to a quiet place………there without a grudge you two should just firmly stick together on your honeymoon and comeback safely………that is probably the best plan for everybody………

Hyun Chul: (dissembling) Well, nevertheless………I’m in the middle of looking for a place where I can purchase an uninhabited island………

Sun Dahl: !!!!!!………You are completely one step ahead of me………oh boy~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought I was going to play a joke on you………but this is no fun at all………I guess I better leave………

Hyun Chul: You should have left long ago………leave quickly and carry on with your duties………if you don’t wish to be dismissed from your job………

Sun Dahl: What!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: Team leader Mr. Kim!!!!!!

Sun Dahl: All right!! All right!! I’m leaving!! (He scowls at Hyun Chul and he leaves Hyun Chul’s office)

Hyun Chul: (He makes a silent smile………then his eyes move toward the computer monitor)

#IN FRONT OF SUN MI’S HOUSE, INSIDE HYUN CHUL’S CAR

Hyun Chul: Ahhhh~~~~~Now just two days left~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: During these days………I don’t even remember how I got along living by myself………from day to day………joy and delight………touched by affection………and my heart becomes restless………it is like I continue to wait in anticipation………it’s about time………there is no such time that should become this slow………

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (He tries to pull Sun Mi’s chin to look toward to him) It’s only me………am I the only one that has this kind of feeling………am I………

Sun Mi: (She just answers Hyun Chul by quietly smiling)

Hyun Chul: (He lightly sighs)………you better go inside now………there are not many days remaining………you better have a nice time with your father………all right Sun Mi………Umm??

Sun Mi: Yes I will Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………

Sun Mi: Be careful driving home………(she tries to get out of Hyun Chul’s car)

Hyun Chul: (from behind Sun Mi’s back Hyun Chul embrace her tightly) please don’t cry so much………if you cry so much I will feel very regrettable………

Sun Mi: (She softly touches Hyun Chul’s surrounding arms………then she gets out of Hyun Chul’s car with slightly wet eyes)

Hyun Chul: (He looks at Sun Mi’s appearance until he can no longer see her)

#SUN MI’S HOUSE, THE LIVING ROOM

Sun Mi: (she lays down a teacup on top of the coffee table………then she takes a seat)

Gyu Sung: (opens the top of a teacup………he tries to squeeze the tea from a teabag and drinks his tea like he appreciates it)

Sun Mi: (she drops her head down)

Gyu Sung: (He puts down his teacup onto the table………then with his endlessly anxious heart he keeps watch over his daughter’s appearance………starting tomorrow she will leave his side)

Sun Mi: (As she lifts up her head she meet her father’s eyes………then for an instant she sees something whitish bearing around her father eyes………making tears quickly rise in her eyes)

Gyu Sung: (quickly) Sun Mi………we should practice once………(he gets up from his seat………then he grabs Sun Mi’s hand) we should do the steps properly tomorrow…any way it is nice for me and you to adjust the steps once right………

Sun Mi: Daddy………

(Already Sun Mi’s face becomes jumbled with tears………Gyu Sung take hold of his daughter’s hand and move step by step………Gyu Sung tries to stop himself from crying but tears run down his cheek too………)

Gyu Sung: Sun Mi………why are you crying………you behave like you must completely leave my side forever………

Sun Mi: I’m sorry Daddy………I’m really sorry………

Gyu Sung: What are you sorry about………I’m the one who pushed you away to leave………

Sun Mi: Huhhh (she sobs)………

Gyu Sung: In any case………there is no situation that I would expect you to spend your whole life at my side………I thought before I became more of an old man………that one day before that I should send you to Mr. Yun………my thoughts were more favorable………good for my sake and your sake………

Sun Mi: If I had been born as a son………that would have been probably nice………right Daddy………

Gyu Sung: my goodness Sun Mi………then what about Mr. Yun………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Gyu Sung: Don’t worry about me………we are living under the same sky in Seoul………there is nothing to worry about………if I miss you………I can come visit you at anytime………if I can see from your appearance………that you are just living a happy life………then that will be good enough for me………

Sun Mi: the house keeping lady………from now on she is going to be looking after you every morning and afternoon………if there is anything that would inconvenience you then please Daddy tell her everything, all right………like you always did with me………

Gyu Sung: Yes………sure I understand Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: (She stops from stepping………then Sun Mi holds her father’s neck in her arms)

Gyu Sung: (He keeps patting Sun Mi’s back) I think this is enough………we won’t have any trouble for tomorrow………as I expected without hesitation my daughter Sun Mi and I are in harmony with everything, right………ha ha ha………

Sun Mi: Huhhhh (she sobs)………Daddy………I’m not going to look at you tomorrow Daddy………I
don’t have any self-confidence to see you tomorrow

Gyu Sung: Oh you are………alright then you don’t have to………only Daddy is going to look at you………at my daughter Sun Mi’s lovely face………I’m going to look piercingly………Sun Mi you don’t have to look at me………you should just look at Mr. Yun………right………Hmmm………Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: (There are no words to express herself to her father………she continues with much emotion………she doesn’t know how to stop her tears)

Gyu Sung: that is enough crying………stop crying Sun Mi………if you cry that much………how are you going to handle it if your eyes get swollen………stop no more crying………

(Sun Mi and her father share more affection than any other father and daughter………this last night they share the affection between father and daughter………this delicate feeble-looking night………goes by this way………)

# SUN MI AND HYUN CHUL’S WEDDING

(Although it is late spring………there is a warm soft early summer’s breeze in the air………lightly blowing in the afternoon………it is past time………and………matters of the night before have passed into the far distance………for the sake of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………it is time to begin the magnificent and splendid ceremony………)

(There is a continuous arrival of guests visiting Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s wedding………Hyun Chul shakes the guests hands one by one………he wears a white tuxedo and………without one strand out of place………his hair is nicely combed………there is no doubt about who is the principal person today, anybody can see………as a matter of fact even when one walks near to him………to just look at him………makes them become faint and giddy………Hyun Chul’s charm and fascination radiates toward everyone………)

Sun Dahl: Huhaaa~~~~~~~~~(He looks far and wide at Hyun Chul from top to bottom)
Well, I thought you would invite some movie stars to your wedding………I didn’t know that you were this excellent and superb looking………

Hyun Chul: (He tries to behave extremely arrogant) Do I look that standard?? I didn’t particularly handle my appearance………

Sun Dahl: Oh boy………what kind of lie is that………there are some words from Min Chul………I already heard………something like………you even annoyingly asked Min Chul’s girlfriend Miss Je Uhn to do a special order for you………

Hyun Chul: Ah………Hmmm………Hum………

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl lightly slaps Hyun Chul once on the chest………then he asks Hyun Chul for a handshake) Congratulations!!!

Hyun Chul: (grins) Thanks!!!

Sun Dahl: You should live happily ever after, right!! (He raises his eyebrows) Don’t try to strain yourself too much tonight!! You understand?? (He enters the ceremonial hall)

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

(In the waiting room………Sun Mi quietly sits in her seat wait for her turn………Sun Mi looks bashful in milky white wedding dress………her lips are transparent with moisture………slightly wet pink lips………)

(Before long Sun Mi would approach the unknown world………Sun Mi’s pure bride appearance………with anticipation and restlessness………full of fear and apprehension………as if at any moment………tears may start falling………the appearance………from that figure………is neat and clean and graceful………there she shines splendidly………

Je Uhn: I really don’t know if my dress gives life to Miss Sun Mi………or Miss Sun Mi gives life to my dress………I really don’t know………Miss Sun Mi you are very petty………no………excessively beautiful………

Sun Mi: (She just smiles bashfully)

Ju Hee: Yes, it’s her?? I have the same female’s view when looking at her………she looks very lovely right??

Je Uhn: Yes………brother Hyun Chul………without Miss Sun Mi’s appearance he would already step forward and fly away………if he sees Miss Sun Mi’s appearance………he is going to completely faint and lose his senses………

Sun Mi: (her ears turn light red)

Je Uhn: I did………give Miss Sun Mi a perfect sexy evening dress as a present………when you go on your honeymoon………at all costs you should wear it………right Miss Sun Mi………

Ju Hee: Why am I trembling like this………I’m still a newlywed………

Je Uhn: Me too I’m also trembling ………I would like to be married as soon as possible………

Sun Mi: (she drops her head down………little by little she blushes more in her face)

(Outside the waiting room’s open door………Hyun Chul stealthily keeps watch………he wants to look at Sun Mi’s appearance………but he does not have the courage to push him self into the waiting room………)

(Sun Mi’s appearance makes Hyun Chul’s whole heart and eyes tremble………he looks at Sun Mi like he is about to lose his soul………his behaves like he doesn’t know how to stop himself from stealthily smiling………he just bites his bottom lip lightly………)

(The sound of the wedding march music quietly spreads inside the hall………there Sun Mi’s appears holding Gyu Sung’s hand………step by step they walk nearer to Hyun Chul………)

(It looks like she has completely forgotten about last nights practice………Sun Mi again and again makes wrong steps………)

Gyu Sung: (in a low voice) Slowly………Sun Mi try not to be nervous………

Sun Mi: (She is barely patient with tears coming out………)

Hyun Chul: (the color of his eyes are full of love………with his lips full of happiness………Hyun Chul goes forth to meet Sun Mi)

(Gyu Sung with a gratified smile taps Hyun Chul on the back………Hyun Chul nods and bows at Gyu Sung………then Gyu Sung hands Sun Mi’s hand over to Hyun Chul………Gyu Sung tries with all his strength to grip tightly Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s holding hands………like giving Hyun Chul advice and expectations………)

#AN AIRPORT IN ROME

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi walk side by side out of the airport pulling their baggage)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul runs into Sun Mi’s head with a bang)

Sun Mi: (She looks back at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Don’t even look at someone else………you just look at me………you understand right!!!

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: Ahhh~~~~~~~ Well I’m………in any way I must have made a big mistake………up until now………I didn’t think about Italy’s male population………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi listen carefully!!………According to Italy………there are pickpocket gypsies and………playboys………so you should be very careful………I tell you about these playboys………if you even glance at them once………they will have unwanted behavior………they will misunderstand you and follow you everywhere………therefore………you better be careful walking around Italy!!!

Sun Mi: Mr. Yun Hyun Chul!! If you don’t mind you should be a little more straight-forward………actually………you are probably more concerned about………maybe Italy’s fine men are going to look at me, right………

Hyun Chul: What!!!

Sun Mi: I just heard from some people………(she looks around at the surroundings) that in reality every Italian man looks like a movie star………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She softly scowls at Hyun Chul) inside the airplane………do you remember what we promised………during these ten days………we should not think about anything………just look at each other………and………we should only think about each other………that is what we promised each other, right………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: Now from this moment………in my mind and my eyes………there is only the man named Yun Hyun Chul………even if I wanted to put something else in my mind and my eyes………there is no space to put anything other than just you………

Hyun Chul: (He makes a beaming smile………he firmly takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand) I know………remembrance as is………(he winks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She smiles at Hyun Chul………once again she scowls at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (reflected by in the sunlight………is Sun Mi’s silhouette………Hyun Chul steadily gaze at Sun Mi from a little ways away)

Sun Mi: this one place………there is no such other place in existence the same as this place………and yet there are such cities like this city in the world………the whole universe is surrounded by water………

#A RESTAURANT

(Slowly darkness come down………the open restaurant………occupies a place exactly next to the waterway………tracing the waves………at this place………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi try to begin taking their dinner………)

(The ocean spreads out wide………in front of this place small boats pass by………from this place flows………faint light and there is even music………letting Hyun Chul and Sun Mi fall more deeply into a mood of sentimental emotions………an elicit romantic atmosphere is fully drawn out………)

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi tap their filled wineglasses against each other………then they take a drink from their wineglasses………in front of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi are their dinner plates………during dinner they empty their plates………between Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………come and go sweet whispers………before they are aware the time passes by………for an instant there is a flow of silence between Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………)

(As Hyun Chul holds his wineglass at the height of his eyes………Hyun Chul steadily gazes at Sun Mi………occasionally a breeze of air goes past Hyun Chul’s cheek………like the scent of the breezy air Hyun Chul feels sweet and mellow………little by little Hyun Chul is aware of the situation approaching………like an early summer heated atmosphere………it is warm and stimulating………)

(As she turns her face away from Hyun Chul’s gaze………Sun Mi steadily gazes at the tranquil water surrounding them………Sun Mi stretches out her arm to reach her wineglass………Hyun Chul grabs Sun Mi’s hand………)

Sun Mi: (She turns around to look at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: I’m right here………what are you looking at………

Sun Mi: It is really beautiful………the ocean water looks like at any moment it is ready to overflow………and those tiny boats wandering about the ocean water………

Hyun Chul: In my eyes………I can only see you………without you I can not see anything………without you nothing comes in front of my view………

Sun Mi: ………………………………………(she avoids Hyun Chul’s eyes by hanging her head down)

Hyun Chul: (he bends his body closer toward Sun Mi………he takes his finger tip to softly lift up Sun Mi’s face by her chin)

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: You are………Jin Sun Mi………you are the foremost beautiful woman to me………(he touches Sun Mi’s lips)

Sun Mi: (the expressions of Hyun Chul’s eyes look thoroughly persistent………Sun Mi is confined by Hyun Chul’s gentle and tender hand………the feelings proceed to spread through out Sun Mi’s body………then she begins to quietly tremble with fear)

Hyun Chul: I guess it is enough, let’s go………

Sun Mi: Huh!! Al…already??

Hyun Chul: You’re not tired??

Sun Mi: (So far she has not prepared herself for tonight) Let us………(she turns her head around and points with her finger toward some place)………let’s ride that boat Hyun Chul!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he turn his eyes around to look at what Sun Mi is pointing at) the gondola??

Sun Mi: Yes!! The gondola!!!

Hyun Chul: (he lightly breaths a sigh)………all right, I guess………

#THE GONDOLA

(As soon as Hyun Chul and Sun Mi ride the gondola on the lightly rocking waves………another gondola………begins to spin around and nears the side of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s gondola………)

Sun Mi: Who are they??

Hyun Chul: Those people are………prepared for the sake of our night………they are the street musician’s………

Sun Mi: (her face becomes lightly colored)

Hyun Chul: (with a beaming smile………Hyun Chul holds Sun Mi deep into the his chest)

(Going along with the flow of the waterway………as much as………the sweet serenade………it is like a seduction………the sound of the music playing on the accordion………spreads out tranquilly………)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul steadily gazes at Sun Mi with eager eyes………Sun Mi’s facial expression looks impressed by the miraculous surroundings………Hyun Chul’s lips gently go nearer to Sun Mi’s ear………)

Sun Mi: (she stealthily pays attention to surroundings people’s senses) Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: (little by little he becomes more deep) they did make this kind of atmosphere………because of our moods………we exist absentmindedly………then they are going to be really embarrassed………don’t you think??

Sun Mi: We~~~ll~~~~~but~~~~still~~~~~~

(Hyun Chul makes a faint smile………before Sun Mi is aware Hyun Chul captures Sun Mi’s lips………like a reward those people try to turn their eyes around to help Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s atmosphere………much more than any other time………Hyun Chul………is gentle and tender………as well as sweet………he proceeds continuously………endlessly………thoroughly spinning Sun Mi’s body around………)

(They’re buried fully by the sound of the music………here and there………is a low sigh of admiration………they float along without a sound………along the waterway………)

#THE HOTEL

(Hyun Chul stands gazing out the window in the dark sky………depending on a faint standing light………in one hand he carries a wineglass………he occasionally takes a sip to moisten his lips………he eagerly waits for Sun Mi………)

(Sun Mi comes out quietly opening the door………with a extreme flow of energy………she firmly grabs onto her nightgown………from the expression in her eyes she is full of nervousness and dreadful fear………without taking a breathe Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul’s appearance from behind………)

Hyun Chul: (He slowly looks back at Sun Mi………he sticks one hand out to call Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi behaves like she doesn’t have the courage to go any nearer to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (with a hazy smile………Hyun Chul walk toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (from the top of Sun Mi’s head down to her toes she consciously transmits tranquil trembling………she tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes) Hyun Chul………before………you………you told me………a poem………a poem………you promised………you were going to compose a poem………

Hyun Chul: (He continues to walk up to Sun Mi) A poem??

Sun Mi: (she wavers one step back) Yes, a poem………did you forget already………

Hyun Chul:………No………

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: ………but right now………I don’t have any inspiration coming across my mind………(he exactly stands in front of Sun Mi………then he gazes at Sun Mi with his intense deep eyes)

Sun Mi: (she can’t even breathe as it is)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul clumsily gropes for Sun Mi’s cheek………then with his finger tip like drawing a line………from Sun Mi’s forehead………over her nose………down to her lips………slowly proceeding into his feelings………)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: (He flows down Sun Mi’s neck line………sweeping Sun Mi’s shoulders………then wrapping Sun Mi’s slender waist into an embrace)………by the end of tonight………a flash of inspiration should come across my mind………(he makes Sun Mi adhere more closely toward him)

Sum Mi: ……………………………………(she become little by little dispelled)

Hyun Chul: (with the wineglass in his hand………he takes the wineglass and places it gently close to Sun Mi’s lips………)

Sun Mi: ……………………………………(she slowly……… puts her hand over the top of Hyun Chul’s hand………then she slopes the glass toward her)

(Hyun Chul keeps looking down Sun Mi’s neck line………a tiny movement………then he takes away the wineglass from Sun Mi……… and holds it in his hand………then toward Sun Mi’s lips………he runs his lips into Sun Mi’s lips………)

(Like appreciation little by little they become deeper into seduction by their lips………he lays the wineglass down on top of the table………Hyun Chul’s helping hand becomes lightly tremble………he begins to untie………Sun Mi’s firmly tied up nightgown………)

(Occasionally once in a while like a feather………softly and tenderly………Hyun Chul tries to make Sun Mi feel easy and relaxed………to prevent her from drawing back………)

(Occasionally there is a blustering emotion of passion like a wild stormy wind………during those times Hyun Chul eagerly desires Sun Mi………he proceeds to lead Sun Mi as he feels………)

(Inside the pitch-darkness………only for Hyun Chul………they are linked together as Hyun Chul continues to make beautiful and sweet passionate gestures…………..)

(So far Hyun Chul emotions still have not disappeared………As he lays deep in the after effect………Hyun Chul holds Sun Mi by the waist as she lays turned on her side………Hyun Chul try to call Sun Mi in a low voice………)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul I feel like I’ve been dreaming………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul fumbles with Sun Mi’s hair………then he buries his face deep into Sun Mi’s hair) I just suddenly had a flash of inspiration………you don’t mind listening to it at once………

Hyun Chul: (He holds Sun Mi in his arms like a precious treasure) it is different from last time………it is an extremely simple short poem………just two phrases………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: like a dream night flowing away~~~~~~~~~ I continue to keep up with this dream~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(he quietly pull up Sun Mi………then he gently presses down on Sun Mi’s lips)

#AN OPEN CAFÉ

Hyun Chul: (as he supports his chin with both of his hands………he fixedly looks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (her face turns red as she tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s gaze) that’s enough looking at me………your coffee is going to get completely cold………

Hyun Chul: I’ll do what ever I feel like!!

Sun Mi: (she looks disapprovingly at Hyun Chul out of the corner of her eye)

Sun Mi: (she just smiles)

Hyun Chul : we should have ordered one cup of coffee………

Sun Mi: Why?? Don’t you like to drink coffee??

Hyun Chul: No………it is not that………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: There is a method………to take one cappuccino for two people to drink together………I just dismissed that method from my mind for a moment………

Sun Mi: How do you do it??

Hyun Chul: You want me to show you?? Then………first you have to come sit down at my side………

Sun Mi: Why?? can’t I listen to your words from where I am sitting??

Hyun Chul: No you can’t………that is why………(with a cracking pop he hits the seat next to him) come quickly………

Sun Mi: (she’s quite doubtful………but Sun Mi takes a seat next to Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (take his arm and places it around Sun Mi’s shoulders) for two people to drink a cup of cappuccino together………first!! ………(Hyun Chul hands Sun Mi the cup of foamy cappuccino) drink………

Sun Mi: (she makes a beaming smile………Sun Mi drinks a mouthful of foam from the cup of cappuccino)

(Without exception he sucks up all the rest………after he completely sucks the last bit of sweet foam………he gently takes away his lips………he takes hold of Sun Mi by the shoulder and stand her straight………)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s face is flushed a pale red color) Hyun Chul………(Sun Mi continues looking at the surroundings)

Hyun Chul: (he behaves like nothing is the matter)

Sun Mi: (she looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul………then she gets up from her seat)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul grabs Sun Mi’s arm to make her sit as is) you are so sensitive………nobody is going to pay attention to us………don’t worry about it………

Sun Mi: I’m the one that doesn’t feel right………

Hyun Chul: from now on every morning………we are going to drink a cappuccino………every time we drink are you going to behave sensitive like this………

Sun Mi: What??

Hyun Chul: we should go to different places………(he gets up from his seat and takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand)

Sun Mi: (she is dragged by Hyun Chul with quick short steps………she doesn’t have any choice but to just smile)

Mrs. Lee: (the expression in her eyes is tender………she looks around Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s room) how is it Min Chul………do you think………you brother Hyun Chul and sister-in-law Sun Mi will be pleased with this room as it is??

Min Chul: Of course mother………in this room………they probably would like to remain as is and not move an inch from this room………

Mrs. Lee: Mmm~~Mmm~~ (automatically humming) I feel like I’m the one who is going back once again to my honeymoon………as a matter of fact I wander how long ago it has really been………

Min Chul: (Min Chul tries to adjust and confide in Mrs. Lee’s feeling) Mother at the present day you’re still beautiful like this………in the former years you must have been very spectacularly beautiful………probably father felt like he lost his soul right………

Mrs. Lee: (As she recollects her memory………her bashful smile floats) yes, at that time he sure did………no less than Je Uhn or your sister-in-law………

Min Chul: (he makes a beaming smile)

Mrs. Lee: Oh my goodness………I still………I feel like I did just like that time with the same feelings………I don’t know when I became this old age………

Min Chul: (walks near his mother and holds his mother’s waist in his arms) mother you are still just as beautiful as before………

Mrs. Lee: you are joking right!!

Min Chul: It is the truth………

Mrs. Lee: more than Je Uhn………

Min Chul: U~~~~~~~~~Well~~~~ of course mother………

Mrs. Lee: (slaps Min Chul’s bottom) that is enough………you little rascal………

Min Chul: (smiles) big brother and sister-in-law are spending their time well together mother??

Mrs. Lee: Mmm………a little while ago I received a phone call from them………they are proceeding to visit Verona………

Min Chul: Ahh~~~~~~~~~ I would like to get married as soon as possible too………(he tries to cutely raise his eyebrows awkwardly)

Mrs. Lee: Just wait a little while………after we become a little settled down, all right Min Chul………

Min Chul: After Je Uhn and I get married………we also should come and live in this house like this mother??

Mrs. Lee: you would like to do that??

Min Chul: Yes, mother………

Mrs. Lee: your sister-in-law………and Je Uhn………they both have jobs………they take care to carry on with their jobs and take care of their parent-in-law………I think stepping into this house to live was not that easy for them………no matter how much I treat them like my own daughters………don’t you think my place is a very uneasy place for them………

Min Chul: …………………………………

Mrs. Lee: I take Hyun Chul’s family home with me for a few of months……….then………I decided to let them have own place when Sun Mi begins working on her studies………

Min Chul: mother you’re not going to be disappointing??

Mrs. Lee: Well there is nothing I can do, even if I should become disappointing……….time has changed………I can’t deal the same as past times……… I have to deal with the present time………after she finishes her studies she may become pregnant with a grandchild………then I decided at that time I should like to bring Hyun Chul’s family back into this house again………

Min Chul: Mother………(Min Chul draws his mother closer into an embrace)

Mrs. Lee: What are you doing you little rascal………

Min Chul: I love you mother………

Mrs. Lee: (she makes a bright smile) me too………I love you too………(she keeps patting Min Chul’s back)

(Romeo and Juliet’s home………looking around Juliet’s house of birth………looking back upon the past of Romeo and Juliet………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi calmly passes the time during one day………they have just come back to the hotel………this is the end of their journey)

(A round shape theater arena………they already have reservations………for the sake of watching an opera………Hyun Chul has already finished preparing himself dressed up in a formal tuxedo………Sun Mi very busily dresses herself………Hyun Chul waits for Sun Mi………)

(Sun Mi wears a low cut evening dress that exposes her soft skin from her shoulders down between her bosom………it is a black evening dress and her hair is lightly twisted on top of her head………she has superbly captured harmony………fascinatingly beautiful………tonight………flowing through her body………are calm thoughts………after she exhales and draws a light breath………she goes out toward Hyun Chul………)

Hyun Chul: (he looks back unintentionally at the sound of the door opening)………!!!!………(the expression in Hyun Chul’s eyes become bright………the atmosphere turns hot)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi barely looks away from Hyun Chul’s gaze………she goes near the front of a mirror)

Sun Mi: (She picks up a necklace in her hand)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul takes the necklace away from Sun Mi………Sun Mi’s neck feels empty………Hyun Chul puts the necklace onto Sun Mi’s neck)

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: (He stares at Sun Mi’s appearance in the mirror with piercing eyes………he begins to feel unavoidable desire………he should like to keep Sun Mi’s appearance as it is to himself………he gently runs his lips deep against Sun Mi’s shoulder………Hyun Chul wraps Sun Mi’s waist in an embrace)

Sun Mi: (She closes her eyes firmly)

Hyun Chul: ………if you don’t mind, we don’t have to go to opera Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………

Hyun Chul: let us just stay here like as is………I don’t want to go………

Sun Mi: (looks back at Hyun Chul………fumbles with Hyun Chul’s collar) we already made the reservations………

Hyun Chul: I don’t care………let’s not go any place Sun Mi………Hmm??

Sun Mi: I want to see it Hyun Chul……… for a long time I have wanted to visit that place at any cost………besides if not now………I don’t know when we will be able to come back to this place again………

Hyun Chul: I tell you let’s not go out please………Hmm?? Hmm?? Hmm??

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Huooo~~~~~~~~~~~(lightly distorts his face) Well really………I should have gone to an uninhabited island………

Sun Mi: Huh??

Hyun Chul: Nothing………nothing at all………(he unavoidably wraps his arms around Sun Mi’s waist and then guides Sun Mi) let’s go………

Sun Mi: (her behavior is regrettable toward Hyun Chul………she makes a light smile)

#A ROUND SHAPED THEATER ARENA

(In front of their eyes the opera begins it’s opening………there Sun Mi sinks down into the magnificent and intense opera………even her facial expression becomes flush with a pale red color………different from Sun Mi………Hyun Chul’s facial expression looks rather uninterested………he only lifts up his eyes a few times………all during the opera Hyun Chul just places his eyes on Sun Mi………)

(Hyun Chul draws Sun Mi’s hand near him………he playfully fumbles with Sun Mi’s hand………on the palm of Sun Mi’s hand………he writes something………he draws Sun Mi’s waist into an embrace………he softly runs his lips against Sun Mi’s cheek………through all that Sun Mi remains unchanged without a reaction………he firmly pokes Sun Mi in the side………after attracting Sun Mi’s eyes………he makes a long yawn………)

Sun Mi: (she looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul and with a really low voice) Hyun Chul!!

Hyun Chul: I tell you I’m bored………

Sun Mi: You’re really going to behave like this………

Hyun Chul: This should be enough………you’ve already seen almost half of the opera………let’s go………

Sun Mi: If you would like to leave………then leave by yourself………(with a cold behavior she avoids Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (he silently looks at Sun Mi………Hyun Chul crosses his arm in front of his chest and with and angered facial expression stares at the stage)

Sun Mi: (she stealthily gives Hyun Chul a sidelong glance………she just smiles)

Hyun Chul: (he furtively gives Sun Mi a sidelong glance)

Sun Mi: (she quickly turns her eyes around)

Hyun Chul: (He quietly smiles)

(Hyun Chul gives up………now………he behaves like he smoothly tries to enjoy the opera………his eyes concentrate on the stage………little by little Hyun Chul becomes fascinated………by the sorrowful sound of an aria………that makes his hear beat faster………like Sun Mi’s heart………this is a magnificent place………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi proceed to become one………)

#A HOTEL

(As he comes inside the hotel room………Hyun Chul with all his strength draws Sun Mi’s by the waist toward him………)

Hyun Chul: I really hate you!!

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: There is nothing like this kind of complete torture………you punished me for almost three hours………(he behaves like he hates Sun Mi………he runs forehead against Sun Mi’s forehead)

Sun Mi: (she just gives Hyun Chul a sorry smile)

Hyun Chul: How would you like to handle this matter Jin Sun Mi………don’t you think you should reward me for this matter………

Sun Mi: thank you for being so patient………

Hyun Chul: Only by words………

Sun Mi: (she softly kisses Hyun Chul’s cheek)

Hyun Chul: Oh good heavens!! Only this………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s facial expression becomes reddish………her eyes look down)

(Hyun Chul slants his head to search for Sun Mi’s lips………he gently lifts up Sun Mi’s face………they steadily gaze closely at the color of each other’s eyes………they deeply sink down into each other’s eyes………they don’t know how to take their eyes off each other………backing up………backing up………into the direction of the wall………Hyun Chul………drives into Sun Mi………)

(For a moment Sun Mi’s back comes in contact with the cool wall………Hyun Chul’s lips silently climb down………deep………deep………down and down………until he is between her deep bosom………Sun Mi feels Hyun Chul………Sun Mi is aware that this is the last night of their honeymoon………Sun Mi goes through her whole heart………she allows herself to receive Hyun Chul passion………)

(Her hairpin is pulled from her hair………Sun Mi’s rich plentiful hair flows down………. Sun Mi’s dress……… hangs over her shoulders………without a sound………she lets her dress fall down too………)

(Hyun Chul lightly holds up his arms for Sun Mi………then together with Sun Mi………they crumble to the bed………they wish that they won’t wake up for eternity………only for their………dream-like honeymoon………there Hyun Chul and Sun Mi on the last night of their honeymoon have fire of passion………)

(Like showing last night’s traces………here and there Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s clothes are scattered around the foot of the bed………they endlessly hold onto these times………they do not wish to seek out the coming morning………without hesitation the deep sunlight enters the room)

Hyun Chul: (he behaves like the light is glaringly blinding………he opens his eyes from not completely waking up) Umm~~~~~

(Sun Mi fell asleep in Hyun Chul’s arms………Sun Mi’s face appears in front of Hyun Chul’s eyes)

(Hyun Chul has a vague feeling like he is not completely awake………he gently brings their cheeks into contact………he feels once again like he is sinking down into another endless world………)

(Hyun Chul closely moves his face toward Sun Mi’s sleepy face………he gently lies his lips upon Sun Mi’s lips and then takes his lips away………now at this moment………Sun Mi’s appearance is like as is………Hyun Chul puts this………inside his eyes………and inside his heart………there Hyun Chul continues to transmit his feelings with eager eyes………)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: I love you~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (she quietly opens her eyes………she meets with Hyun Chul’s delicate feeble-looking eyes)

Hyun Chul: ………did you sleep well??

Sun Mi: ………yes………

Hyun Chul: there is no such thing that I have experienced like this time passing by this quickly………it is already morning and time for us to depart from our honeymoon………

Sun Mi: …………………………………

Hyun Chul: how am I going to go………I don’t want to leave this place………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi goes more deeply into Hyun Chul’s chest)………me too………I don’t want to leave either………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to bury his hand deep into Sun Mi’s hair) then we better not to leave??

Sun Mi: (she nods her head largely)

Hyun Chul: ………all right………then we won’t leave………

Sun Mi: (she lifts up her head and looks at Hyun Chul) Really??

Hyun Chul: (with a beaming smile, he embraces Sun Mi………on top of the bed he rolls around smoothly………as he tightly holds Sun Mi)………right………it is really true………

Sun Mi (she makes a faint smile………she places her hand on Hyun Chul’s chest) let us leave and put all matters in here………in this place together we are alone with everything………don’t you think this is good enough………let’s put these memories into our hearts to take with us………

Hyun Chul: (she covers herself with the bed sheet………Hyun Chul places his hand onto Sun Mi’s chest)………and then………also here too right………

Sun Mi: Yes…………………………………

Hyun Chul: right………I guess that will be good enough………(he buries his face into Sun Mi’s lightly exposed bosom)………that will do………

Sun Mi: (around Hyun Chul’s neck………Sun Mi touches Hyun Chul softly)

Hyun Chul: ………I am………sleepy again………my eyes feel droopy………

Sun Mi: then………sleep a little more………so far we have enough time left………

Hyun Chul: ………anyhow………I guess I have to………(as he goes into Sun Mi’s comfortably warm bosom………once more he would like to………sink down into the dreamy world………he closes his eyes quietly………)

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 19 Part 1

 

#CHAIRMAN YUN’S HOUSE, THE KITCHEN

 

(Sun Mi has been up since day break………Sun Mi tries to prepare breakfast………helping the housekeeper………Mrs. Lee unintentionally comes into the kitchen………then she suddenly sees………Sun Mi’s appearance dressed in lovely Korean costume clothes………Mrs. Lee’s feelings cross a range of many emotions………joy and delight………infinite deep emotion overflowing………)

 

Mrs. Lee: Sun Mi you should be very tired from your long honeymoon journey………why don’t you sleep some more………why did you came down this early………

 

Sun Mi: (She turns her head around) Good morning mother………did you sleep well………

 

Mrs. Lee: Yes………how about you………did you have a good dream??

 

Sun Mi: Yes mother………

 

Mrs. Lee: Don’t you think you will be very busy with trying to prepare to attend your office………you’ve done enough here………go upstairs and take some more rest………then prepare yourself for work………

 

Sun Mi: No mother it’s all right………I took enough rest………

 

Mrs. Lee: (She draws out Sun Mi’s hand and then holds it with her hand………then she makes a delighted smile at Sun Mi) I must say………it is really nice………I will get to have you at my side like this………just like my own daughter Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (She smiles softly)

 

Mrs. Lee: I already told you many times………that we really should spend time together like loving mother and daughter………all right Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Yes mother………

 

(From outside the kitchen they can hear signs of Chairman Yun’s moving around)

 

Mrs. Lee: It is about time………your father-in-law accompanied by Min Chul………should begin their morning exercises………

 

Sun Mi: Huh!! Yes………(it crosses Sun Mi’s mind that Hyun Chul is probably still sleeping)

 

Mrs. Lee: your father-in-law will go off just as it is only today for Hyun Chul………probably tomorrow your father-in-law will ask Hyun Chul to join him………anyhow Hyun Chul………should have great trouble from numerous mornings as a sleepyhead………well I guess I only tell you because you………among the many reasons……… one of the reasons Hyun Chul got out of here to live by himself in a condo………is the matter of this morning exercise………he doesn’t like to do it………that is why he moved out here and lives by himself………

 

Sun Mi: (She hangs down her head with a soft smile)

 

Mrs. Lee: Sun Mi you should go out………and greet your father-in-law and then come back………

 

Sun Mi: Yes mother………(she leaves the kitchen)

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

 

(There is Hyun Chul fast asleep lying on his stomach………Hyun Chul face is entirely buried in his pillow………rummaging turning over from one side to the other………then like he is searching for Sun Mi………he fumbles at the place next to him………but there is nothing to be captured by his hand………then he opens his eyes quietly………)

 

Sun Mi: (she lets a vague smile float onto her face………Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul………then she quietly moves near to Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi sits on the edge of the bed………looks down at Hyun Chul’s fast asleep face………then she tries to softly sweep away Hyun Chul’s hair………)

 

Hyun Chul: U~~~Hmm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(He lays himself down as he turns over toward Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (there Hyun Chul’s eyes are closed………but as she looks………there Hyun Chul makes a smile at the corner of his mouth………Sun Mi already becomes aware of Hyun Chul’s every matter)

 

Hyun Chul: Hmmm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Hyun Chul buries his face toward Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: I already know you are a wake………Hyun Chul it is about time that you got up from bed………

 

Hyun Chul: (he sticks his right cheek out with a jerk………as he requests Sun Mi to kiss him)

 

Sun Mi: (keeping a large smile on her mouth………then she lightly puts her lips on Hyun Chul’s cheek)

 

Hyun Chul: (he smiles like he is pleased with Sun Mi’s response………but then he sticks out his left cheek out with a jerk)

 

Sun Mi: (with a soft smile………Sun Mi warmly kisses Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (He lays his body down straight………then he stick his lips out with a jerk)

 

Sun Mi: (she lightly scowls at Hyun Chul………then she makes pincers of her fingers………to firmly press down on top of Hyun Chul’s lips)

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!! No matter how I close my eyes………you think I would not be able to the difference between the feel of your lips and your finger………try once again!!

 

Sun Mi: (She can’t stop Hyun Chul from behaving like this………for a moment she tries to run against Hyun Chul’s lips)

 

Hyun Chul: (he quickly takes hold of Sun Mi in his arms………he completely throws Sun Mi onto the bed locked in his arms)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi is held down completely under Hyun Chul’s body………Hyun Chul gathers together both of his hand to support his chin………then he fixedly looks at Sun Mi) what are you thinking about………with who’s will do………you secretly get up early………and leave me here all alone………

 

Sun Mi: Well then what should I do………did you think I would wait until you woke up Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: Of course!!

 

Sun Mi: Oh my goodness………what are you saying………meaning we sleep late………then we should take breakfast that your mother prepares………then we attend work??

 

Hyun Chul: there should be a housekeeper auntie…………

 

Sun Mi: It doesn’t matter if there is a housekeeper auntie………the first day I arrive at my husband’s family home and sleep late………there is no such thing as a daughter-in-law that would get up later than her mother-in-law………that kind of behavior………how can I receive love from my husband’s family??

 

Hyun Chul: Oh really??

 

Sun Mi: (scowls at Hyun Chul) Well Hyun Chul………beginning tomorrow morning you will also get up early………and then with father………and together with younger brother Min Chul………attend morning exercises………right………

 

Hyun Chul: Ahhhh~~~~~~~~~(Hyun Chul’s forehead is entirely buried into Sun Mi’s bosom) Oh my goodness………it is an old nightmare brought back into life………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: without your word………truly………I already decides to do that………

 

Sun Mi: Really Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: (he lifts up his head) Really!!

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi fumbles with Hyun Chul’s front hair) there is an old saying “the early bird………can get more worms”………

 

Hyun Chul: If I’m a bird………I should get up early in the morning………but if I’m a worm I should get up late in the morning, right………anyhow I’m………not a bird or a worm………therefore I should do what I feel like………

 

Sun Mi: So what are you trying to tell me………you mean to tell me in the future………you are still going to continue to sleep late like this??

 

Hyun Chul: (He grabs Sun Mi’s nose………then softly shakes) I will not………I’m not going to do that………now are you satisfied!!

 

Sun Mi: (She scowls at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: maybe before our marriage………probably I would act like that………but since I became the head of a family and your husband………it is time now I should act like a real man………I tell you I’m never going to make you uneasy and make you feel worried about some matters………so don’t worry about it Sun Mi!! Also I should make my body healthy………and work zealously………and then also………(Hyun Chul’s eyes go down toward Sun Mi’s Korean dress’s breast-tie-ribbon)………I will be enthusiastic………(he stealthily grabs at the breast-tie-ribbon)………make love………(he pulls out the breast-tie-ribbon)

 

Sun Mi: (She firmly grabs at her breast-tie-ribbon) Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: Huoooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(he steadily gazes at Sun Mi with the feeling of wanting something more………then he buries his face in the warm nape of Sun Mi’s neck)

 

Sun Mi: there is no time for you and me to behave like this………that is enough………let me go Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul behaves like he doesn’t want to………he hesitates for a moment………then he unavoidable gets up………he grabs both of Sun Mi’s hand to pick her up)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi tries to adjust her dress and tidy up her untied breast-tie-ribbon………then she also adjusts her hair)

 

Hyun Chul: (he stares gazing at Sun Mi with eager eyes) then this morning………Sun Mi you prepared breakfast right??

 

Sun Mi: No………housekeeper auntie did everything………I just gave a helping hand to housekeeper auntie………so far I don’t know………about anything………where is everything in there………

 

Hyun Chul: but still………you probably did prepare at least one kind of meal………didn’t you………

 

Sun Mi: Umm~~~~~~~~~spinach………I mixed spinach with seasonings………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh you did?? Then today’s breakfast………I should eat only the mixed spinach………

 

Sun Mi: Oh my goodness there is no reason for you to behave like this………you should eat properly………

 

Hyun Chul: Well in that matter I will what ever I feel like!! (For a moment he thinks about something) Oh I got an idea!! In the middle of breakfast………how about I speak well highly of your mixed spinach?? I will try to mention that today’s spinach is very well mixed with seasonings………something like that………how about it………it is a very good idea right??

 

Sun Mi: Puhs!! (Sun Mi just smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: What is that Jin Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: (She makes a quiet smile then takes hold of Hyun Chul’s hand) I really appreciate it Hyun Chul………you have considerate thoughts about me like that………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul puts his hand on top of Sun Mi’s hand) what do you mean you really appreciate me………I should be more regrettable toward you………probably you will become very busy attending to your work………and you get up at daybreak to prepare breakfast………(he looks at Sun Mi with pitiful touching eyes) How should I take care of my Sun Mi during hard times………Hmmmm??

 

Sun Mi: being comfortable in one’s heart is more important than being comfortable in one’s body………and also for the sake of family matters………getting up early in the morning at daybreak………for a woman herself………there should be no out of the ordinary meaning………

 

Hyun Chul: for the sake of family………indeed I like these word………it is nice to hear………according to all of these word………especially for the sake of me right??

 

Sun Mi: (She slowly nods at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: Sun M~~~~i~~~Y~~~ah~~~~~~~(with a happy smile Hyun Chul embraces Sun Mi tightly)

 

Sun Mi: if we continue to behave like this………we will be late for work on the first day we have returned from our honeymoon………

 

Hyun Chul: All right I understand………(he tries to remove his arm from Sun Mi………then he gets up together along with Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: come down stairs after you take a shower………I will prepare breakfast for you………

 

Hyun Chul: Mmm………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul in every spare moment………looks through at the front car mirror………he pays attention………looking at his own appearance at the necktie he is wearing………)

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………what on earth………is there anything you can’t do??

You are very skillful at cooking………and you are even very good at tying my necktie………even with all that you’re really very lovely………Jin Sun Mi don’t you think you’re too excessively perfect??

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: I’m very sincere!!

 

Sun Mi: Think Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: No matter how much I think about………I must say………I think I must have picked my wife for marriage very well………

 

Sun Mi: Well then in the future………for long time you should be nice to me………right………

 

Hyun Chul: That matter is just the basis standard………Jin Sun Mi don’t you know about give and take?? There should be some return salute from you………

 

Sun Mi: (she makes a bright smile) me too………I also think I must have taken a husband for marriage very well………

 

Hyun Chul: Who asked you to follow the same as my words………I don’t want that kind of answer………(he sticks out his right cheek) you just give me one kiss right here………

 

Sun Mi: You just pay attention to the road!!

 

Hyun Chul: Tut!! (His facial expression looks like a little rascal………he stealthily gives sidelong glance at Sun Mi) you didn’t even kiss me………I guess I’m boring………well I should search………at once for Jin Sun Mi’s weak point………

 

Sun Mi: Well what ever you wish………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh you are trying to tell me you have a lot of self-confidence………but there is no such thing as a person without dust to shake off themselves………well it is good that you are supposed to be prepared for what I am going to say in this matter………

 

Sun Mi: (she just makes quiet smile)

 

Hyun Chul: Umm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well what kind of matter will you have a weak point………(he thinks intently) First!! there is no personal attraction charm!! There is no fun………it is absolutely without fun at all………

 

Sun Mi: !

 

Hyun Chul: And besides~~~~~~~~ you don’t even know how to get angry………that matter is………evidence that you don’t have great passion………

 

Sun Mi: !!

 

Hyun Chul: Also~~~~~~~~~~~~you’re too pure and innocent………you trust so easily other people’s words………that is your trouble too………

 

Sun Mi: !!!

 

Hyun Chul: Well you can’t even drink liquor………so there is no place to even become my drinking pal………

 

Sun Mi: !!!!

 

Hyun Chul: there are many ordinary women………some times become on rare occasions………they behave like a red fox………but Sun Mi you are absolutely behave like a bear………a bear!!

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: you don’t even know how you should become sly and crafty………with your portion………you also make a living carrying other people’s portion too………you’re a fool………an idiot!!

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s huge round eyes begin to gradually bear tears………her feelings become deeply disappointed at Hyun Chul’s thoughts)

 

Hyun Chul: Well not only that………you very much adhere to stubbornness………(he is linked together with the continuing ragged bundle)

 

Sun Mi: Huhuu (she sobs)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: (she wipes her tears from dropping………then she tries to gaze outside the car window)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul hurries and stops his car………at the side of the road) Sun Mi!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: (As Sun Mi covers her face with both of her hands………she begins to cry sorrowfully)

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi-yah………Sun Mi………(Hyun Chul is quite at a loss and loses his composure………he doesn’t know what to do………he just behaves quite restless………then he takes hold of Sun Mi’s shoulder)

 

Sun Mi: (she rejects Hyun Chul’s approach) Why did you marry me!!………I have many weak points covering me like this………so far I really didn’t know!!………that you thought about me like this………Huhuu (she sob)~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi not like that………I was just making a joke………just a joke!!

 

Sun Mi: Now you tell me………all those words you mentioned were just a joke?? In my ears nothing sounded like a joke!! Not at all!!

 

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

 

Sun Mi: Oh my goodness………how can you smile simply just like that!! You just put me into this kind of feeling!!

 

Hyun Chul: Oh my goodness………I didn’t know………but now I see how sulky Jin Sun Mi can become………I really didn’t know Jin Sun Mi has this kind of cute surface………

 

Sun Mi: (She looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul facial expression looks like he will lose his breathe from Sun Mi’s lovely behavior………he pulls Sun Mi nearer in an embrace)

 

Sun Mi: leave me alone!! (She taps Hyun Chul’s chest) I hate you!! I don’t like to look at you!!

 

Hyun Chul: Oh my goodness………you even know how to get angry………

 

Sun Mi: Huhuu (she sobs)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really hate you!!

 

Hyun Chul: (with a beaming smile he keeps patting Sun Mi’s back) I am sorry~~~~~Don’t cry~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: Who made me cry………(she tries once more to tap Hyun Chul’s chest)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul take hold of Sun Mi’s hand and firmly applies it to his chest) I’m really sorry~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (for a little while Hyun Chul looks down with Sun Mi sinking down toward him) Really………I just mentioned a little while ago………the base of all your weak points………truly………a woman named Jin Sun Mi………should be possessed of the best strong points………make me extricate myself from Jin Sun Mi………only Jin Sun Mi’s exorbitant outrageous charm………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: also clearly………it doesn’t matter what kind of appearance………you’re existence in this world……… I have no choice……but…without any hesitation I’m going to love you………as all those your figure………it is because you are………my Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (She firmly closes her eyes)

 

Hyun Chul: Now do you understand Sun Mi?? You should stop being angry with me right??

 

Sun Mi: No I don’t think so………did you tell me a moment ago………I’m a very boring person………because I don’t even know how to get angry………this time I’m not going to just let this matter go simply………

 

Hyun Chul: Huh~~~~~~~~~~ Well then what should I do………(Hyun Chul gently holds Sun Mi’s cheeks in both of his hands………to make her stay in front of his face) forgive me Jin Sun Mi………Hmm?? Jin Sun Mi’s best good point is………generosity right………(he winks at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (she behaves without hatefulness………she scowls at Hyun Chul) Oh my goodness it doesn’t matter what kind of situation it is you did everything as you pleased………let’s just drive quickly to get to work………

 

Hyun Chul: Before I do that I have to take care of some matter………we arrived at the work place………once again like any other people it should be difficult for us to even look at each other’s face………therefore………before we leave let us have a one passionate kiss………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi tries to come out from Hyun Chul’s arms………Hyun Chul tries more firmly to fix Sun Mi as is………then he firmly pushes down his lips to kiss Sun Mi………then he moves away)………now I am completely ready………let’s go!!!!!! 

 

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 19 Part 2

 

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

(Sun Mi constantly comes across Hyun Chul’s mind………he tries hard to erase Sun Mi’s image from his mind………Hyun Chul begins to look one by one………through the documents piled on top of the his desk………however………Hyun Chul himself without being aware………his eyes gather together toward Sun Mi’s bright smile inside the framed picture………)

 

(Hyun Chul gently sweeps down the framed picture with his finger tip………then he tries to tap at a part of Sun Mi’s face inside the framed picture………and then his behaves like on no account would he completely concentrate on his work………he tries to turn the picture in another direction at his side………but not long after………once again he returns the picture to its original place………in the end he picks up the framed picture and holds it in his hand………)

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!! You’re going to constantly seduce me………oh my goodness Sun Mi………on no account can I carry on my duties as is……… Sun Mi I am talking about work!! You should stay sitting there nicely!! Right!! Sun Mi do you understand? (His purposely makes his eyes look strict………and then he just behaves like he is giving up as he forms a beaming smile) Yun Hyun Chul collect yourself and start working………now our dream-like honeymoon should be over………our dream-like honeymoon………the end!!

 

(Suddenly the sound of Hyun Chul’s office door flies open)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul quickly puts down the framed picture back into its place………then he behaves like he is eagerly doing his duty)

 

Sun Dahl: Hey~~~~~~~~~~~~Director Yun

 

Hyun Chul: Oh Boy………if you don’t mind………you should call me by the proper non-personal title name………

 

Sun Dahl: Ahhh~~~~~sorry sorry that matter………was without my intention………I behaved very regrettable toward you………Mr. Director………Yun!! Anyhow………how about your honeymoon trip?? Did you have a very pleasant journey??

 

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles………and looks at Sun Dahl)

 

Sun Dahl: (His facial expression become like a little rascal………he tries to take a good look this way and that at Hyun Chul’s appearance)

 

Hyun Chul: Why are you looking at me with that kind of careful behavior………as if………you are going to make a formality joke about someone who has just returned from their honeymoon………then I really do courteously refuse that matter………

 

Sun Dahl: Well I see………You look like you have really………lost something………you have become very thin in your cheeks………

 

Hyun Chul: I told you I’m going to courteously refuse that remark!!

 

Sun Dahl: Well, also your brow has become sunken a little………

 

Hyun Chul: Well you’re not going change your attitude………are you, huh!!

 

Sun Dahl: You look very worn out………and yet your face looks more extensively handsome………

 

Hyun Chul: Your behavior is very ungentlemanly!! I obviously for sure………I didn’t make any jokes when you returned from your honeymoon………Senior………

 

Sun Dahl: Well you were fool enough not to make a joke about me like this………

 

Hyun Chul: What!!!!!!!

 

Sun Dahl: Don’t you think………there should have been this kind of enjoyment sometimes………like everyone in your generation should behave always like that………must you exist to live impatient and always think only with reason and seriousness??

 

Hyun Chul: You’re talking exactly like an old man………

 

Sun Dahl: Hee hee~~~~~~~~~(In front of Sun Dahl’s eye view………are documents and files for approval………on top of Hyun Chul’s desk piled up………) Oh boy………this was………not a joke………it looks like you will be without sleep for a few days………and that might not still be good enough to complete this work………Director Yun you are so pitiful………how should I act toward you………

 

Hyun Chul: Huhoo ~~~~~~~~~~Well there is nothing I can do………

 

Sun Dahl: Well as an experienced person………there is a facial expression I know better than anyone………it is when you are trying to look at documents………or looking at your computer monitor………all that comes across your mind is only Miss Sun Mi’s face right?? Like the writing on the documents………entirely doesn’t appear in front of your eyes, right??

 

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

 

Sun Dahl: Probably it is nice at this time as it is………

 

Hyun Chul: Well Senior………so far you’re still a newlywed too?? Why do you behave like you have already lived a few years?………

 

Sun Dahl: Someone already said………the honeymoon is only for one week………after that everything should turn into the realities of life………during those days I really should have discovered Yu Ju Hee’s new looks………as time goes on I really have become like a fearful guy even existence is like being a woman………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh you really are?? But Sun Mi and I are different from everyone else………365 days a year………straight~~~~~~~~~~we should be like eternal newlyweds………

 

Sun Dahl: Don’t be so sure………you think Miss Sun Mi is………any different than any other woman………

 

Hyun Chul: Yes of course………if it is about my Sun Mi………she will be very different than any other woman!!

 

Sun Dahl: Aheegoo~~~~~Ahgoo~~~~~~~Oh boy~~~~boy~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: Senior, do you feel like you had goose bumps all over you from my word? Any how you better get back to your work as soon as possible………right Team leader Mr. Kim!!

 

Sun Dahl: Oh my goodness~~~~~~~~~~~(he makes a gesture as if he is shivering………then he walks out off Hyun Chul’s office)

 

Hyun Chul: (He makes a smile………he stretches his body once with raised hands………and then he begins to devote himself to his work)

 

#THE COMPANY CAFETEREA

 

Ju Hee: Sun Mi………in my view………your facial expression is like a flower in full of bloom………

 

Sun Mi: (She blushes) Senior you even try to tease me………please don’t………

 

Ju Hee: You must have received lots of teasing from many people………well it is all right………even I received lots of teasing before………

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Ju Hee: Sun Mi for the time being………probably you must have lots of difficulties………until you become a branch of the family………under any circumstances you should help the great household………and you should sense signs………from the broadcasting station with this and that………

 

Sun Mi: Senior………after all I………I must have a little shameless behavior………

 

Ju Hee: Huh??

 

Sun Mi: Sometimes I think like………I should resign from everything………and just try to be a good wife and lend a helping hand to Hyun Chul………but in the end………I behave like I don’t want to let go of anything………not even one thing………like studying………working………what ever I should like to do………I keep on grasping them in both of my hands………

 

Ju Hee: ………………………………………

 

Sun Mi: like mother………like Hyun Chul………their hearts toward me have given me much consideration………so I have become very thankful for them and regrettable toward them………therefore I feel like I’m very much a bad person………

 

Ju Hee: (She takes a hold of Sun Mi’s hand) you should become cry in the middle of having a meal………Sun Mi you should know yourself better than anyone else………think about it………your type of person quietly stays inside the house and supports yourself only to help your husband………no matter how your husband’s family gives you support………you will not be consciously interested………and then without self-confidence in yourself………you will already give up………but you did come in all the way here………therefore this is………precisely the road that should be your distance………

 

Sun Mi:………………………………………

 

Ju Hee: even from the way I’m looking at you………your type precisely looks gentle in appearance but is tough in spirit………you’re a very soft person………but there is in you much better capabilities than any man………you have a capability of talent and spirit lying hidden………you should give a helping hand to Mr. Director………no not even that……… together along with Mr. Director………you may become successful in some great matter………Mr. Chairman and Mr. Chairman’s wife………they also see that kind of vision of you………so they try their best to give you consideration………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Ju Hee: So therefore………don’t try to be so hard on yourself with those kinds of thoughts………you should just carry on eagerly what matters you have………and then it is all right to show in the future………

 

Sun Mi: Yes senior………I will………I’m going to be eager………more than anyone………eager and busy………in that way I will lead my life like I am living………and then that is why I should quickly settle down………(her facial expression becomes reddish)………I’m going to make sure to let them hold a grandchild in their arms………

 

Ju Hee: (makes a smile) Yes that will do………if you continue to do like that then you should accomplish everything………from my thoughts as an individual………you don’t know how much you have become reassuringly reliable and an influence of strength to me………I can proceed together with a person like you and work for the same cause………

 

Sun Mi: Me too senior………like you supported me like this………someday senior you becomes on occasion weak and delicate………I’m really feeble and weak………but I will try my best to become strong so that I can help you………right senior………

 

Ju Hee: (with Ju Hee’s satisfied smile………she nods her head at Sun Mi)

 

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

 

(There is a lot of work for Sun Mi to take care of………but in the position as a daughter-in-law………there is the matter of not being late going home from work during the first days………Sun Mi finishes her work approximately………she arranges the top of her desk………then she picks up the telephone………)

 

Hyun Chul: Hello………

 

Sun Mi: It’s me………

 

Hyun Chul: Me? Who are is “me”??

 

Sun Mi: Well you must have already forgotten even my voice??

 

Hyun Chul: Aaahaa~~~~~~~~ It is my bride…

 

Sun Mi: Poos!!! (Sun Mi tries to cover her mouth with a quick act………she takes a good look at the surrounding attention) Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: W~~~~h~~at~~~~

 

Sun Mi: You should be very late going home right Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: Umm………you too??

 

Sun Mi: I am ready to leave my office now………

 

Hyun Chul: Already?? Probably you will have left over lots of undone work………

 

Sun Mi: It is all right Hyun Chul………I can carry on tomorrow morning when I come back to work………anyhow about today………it doesn’t matter what kind of work I have………I would like to prepare dinner for your mother and father’s dinner table with my own hand………so I can offer mother and father my own cooking………

 

Hyun Chul: Well don’t try too much to force yourself………they will understand every matter………

 

Sun Mi: Don’t worry about it………I’m not going to carry on like this every day………Hyun Chul I guess I better hang up the phone………

 

Hyun Chul: Are you going to take my car to drive at home??

 

Sun Mi: No………I would probably get blocked with lots of traffic………it would be more quick if I go back home by taking the subway train………and besides after you finish your work…………how are you going to get home…………

 

Hyun Chul: Well, right then………you better be careful going home………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………you better have a meal while doing your work………right………please……….I mean it………

 

Hyun Chul: No I don’t want too………after I get home………I going to eat your prepared dinner………

 

Sun Mi: At least you better have a simple meal………(She looks at her wristwatch) Well Hyun Chul I really have to leave………

 

Hyun Chul: Just a minute Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: I love you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~and………wait for me at home Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~all right??

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s face stealthily glows red) see you soon at home bye………

 

#SUN MI AND HYUN CHUL’S ROOM

 

(The time has become quite late in the night………so far Hyun Chul still hasn’t come home yet………Sun Mi waits for Hyun Chul………she walk restlessly up and down outside the front gate………and she also strolls about walking back and forth to a garden………)

 

(For all that………still time proceeds by very slowly………Sun Mi sits down on the edge of the bed………there Sun Mi tries to flip through a few pages in some book………but nothing comes to the attention of her view………and then she softly lays herself down on top of the bed………)

 

(Hyun Chul quietly walks up the staircase to come upstairs………and then he arrives in front of his room………there is the sound of Hyun Chul’s steps………spreading low………but so far………Sun Mi still hasn’t become aware………)

 

(At that time there is a low sound of a door opening)

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!………………(She quickly raises her body from the bed)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul………with the color of his delicate eyes he gazes at Sun Mi………then he walks nearer toward Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (around Sun Mi’s eyes become slightly wet………she behaves like they just met after a long separation)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul stick his hand out from behind his back………there is a bundle of red roses………brightly blooming in front of Hyun Chul’s chest)

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (He grasps Sun Mi’s hand to let Sun Mi sit up………then he draws her nearer to him) I tried to prepare for the matter of seducing you………this is my prized gift to you………(He embraces Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s tears drop down………and splatters onto the red roses………which keep hold like morning dewdrops………then she lightly buries her face toward the red roses)

 

Hyun Chul: (together along with the red roses Hyun Chul embraces Sun Mi’s body like he is going to smash her into pieces) you waited for me a long time, right??

 

Sun Mi: (She nods her head)

 

Hyun Chul: Did you miss me a lot??

 

Sun Mi: (She nods her head)

 

Hyun Chul: Me too………(he tries to loosen his arms from embracing Sun Mi………then he lifts up Sun Mi’s chin………and wipes away Sun Mi’s tears)

 

Sun Mi: (she quietly tries to close her eyes………then she become conscious of Hyun Chul’s helping hand)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul slowly comes down to get near Sun Mi’s lips………then little by little goes toward her body)

 

Sun Mi: (She tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s touching hand as her head drops down) Did you have dinner………

 

Hyun Chul: ………(he tries to put down his hand with his feeling of wanting something) I’m sorry Sun Mi………my work was done very late………so I resolved my dinner at work………sorry………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: How was tonight’s dinner table?? Mother and father………did they speak highly about your cooking??

 

Sun Mi: Yes………

 

Hyun Chul: I should have attended the dinner table together with everyone………

 

Sun Mi: You should be very tired from work………Hyun Chul, why don’t you take a shower quickly………

 

Hyun Chul: Well until a little while ago………I was very tired (with both of his hands………Hyun Chul tries to fully wrap Sun Mi’s face) but not now………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Later Sun Mi………(Hyun Chul gently runs into Sun Mi’s lips) please give me a little mercy………Hmm??

 

(There the red roses are laid down………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi run against each other’s lips………then they both crumble down onto the bed………more than the bright red roses………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s seductive passionate gestures………bloom like the red roses and thickly spread all over the inside of the room)

 

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 19 Part 3

 

#A LIVING ROOM, THE AFTERNOON

 

Sun Mi: Mother………if you don’t mind………may I have the basement storage key………

 

Mrs. Lee: The basement storage key?? Why??

 

Sun Mi: There is something I need to look for………

 

Mrs. Lee: (from the expression of Mrs. Lee’s eyes they look very curious)

 

Sun Mi: There is some of Hyun Chul’s old stuff in the basement………I should bring it up………

 

Mrs. Lee: Well let me think………I wonder what kind of Hyun Chul’s old stuff did I put down the basement??……… Anyhow alright………wait here for just a moment………

 

(A moment later)

 

Mrs. Lee: (she hands over the basement storage key) It has been quite some time since I organized the basement………probably the basement will be very messy-looking………why don’t you let Hyun Chul take care of this matter………

 

Sun Mi: I guess he must be very tired………he just fell asleep………

 

Mrs. Lee: Oh he did………well then………be careful and watch your step in the basement floor………

 

Sun Mi: Yes mother………

 

#THE BASEMENT STORAGE

 

(Sun Mi opens the storage door and enters the basement………passing a low window………where beams of sunlight our through………Sun Mi can see dust floating around………she tries to turn on the light………but a faint darkness still goes around………Sun Mi’s steps make her kick some stuff………Sun Mi tries to carefully walk over stuff………then she wanders about searching for Hyun Chul’s treasure………)

 

(There is nothing that Sun Mi can see easily………Sun Mi walks back and forth between the piles of stuff………the color of Sun Mi’s eyes become irritatingly impatient………all of the sudden there is a “bang” sound!………There is the sound of something tumbling down………Sun Mi suddenly becomes shocked as she looks back at where the sound came from………she sweeps her chest………she draws a breath to calm herself………then something flashes in Sun Mi’s view…………)

 

(Finally Sun Mi discovers Hyun Chul’s treasure!!………At one side of a corner in an extreme high direction………there placed random and carelessly………for the sake of Hyun Chul himself never again looking back………it is an important part of Hyun Chul himself………he left it behind and threw it into this antiquated place………this part of Hyun Chul’s heart is transmitted to Sun Mi’s heart………which makes Sun Mi heart feel vague………)

 

(A place with a gray hazy dust………Sun Mi behaves like the dust does not cause a difficult feeling………there is a lot of stuff standing as obstacles in her way………Sun Mi’s hand is busy with………putting things in order to one side, one by one, straightening up………)

 

(However………in a moment she grabs the bass guitar………without hesitation Sun Mi drops large tears………her field of vision becomes fully clouded by her tears………Sun Mi beforehand by bringing a piece of cloth………she shakes off the dust from the piece of cloth………she polishes the dust piled up on the bass guitar………and then she polishes the bass guitar once again………)

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

 

(For a few days Hyun Chul continues to do night duty………Hyun Chul must be very exhausted and weary by these night duties………Hyun Chul falls into a deep sleep unconscious of anything going on about the world………a breezy wind blows through an open window………and makes a curtain blow softly………the tip of Hyun Chul’s nose feels ticklish………coming into the room is the sweet smell of full blooming flowers from the garden outside………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul quietly opens his eyes………then he feels the nice buoyant wind)………(Hyun Chul looks around for Sun Mi)………Jin Sun Mi………where are you………where have you disappeared to………I earnestly asked you to firmly stay at my side………

 

#THE SECOND FLOOR LIVING ROOM

 

(Sun Mi, without anyone knowing, stealthily brings the bass guitar with her………then she takes the bass guitar and carefully puts it in an empty room………and she walks toward Hyun Chul and her room………at the moment she tries to open the door………she runs against Hyun Chul………as he just came out from their room)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi becomes unnecessarily surprised………then her eyes become big and round)

 

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: Why are you so jumpy?? You behave like you are guilty about something………

 

Sun Mi: Huh!!! W~~ha~~t………what are you talking about, when did I do that………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh my goodness………now you even stammer with your words………

 

Sun Mi: (She tries this way and that to avoid Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (only then does Sun Mi’s appearance come into Hyun Chul’s view………Sun Mi is covered here and there with dust………there is even a darkish dusty smear on Sun Mi’s cheek) tell me the truth Jin Sum Mi!! Where have you been!! You came back from some place where you behaved wrongly………right!!

 

Sun Mi: Huh!! what………what are you talking about………

 

Hyun Chul: (his facial expression is strict but playful) Are you not going to tell me the truth!!………Do you want me to punish you!!

 

Sun Mi: Stop it………(She tries to walk past Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul grasps Sun Mi’s shoulders firmly………gradually Hyun Chul behaves more like a little rascal) if you don’t mind………I would like to guess once?? You came back from playing in the mud………right Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: Huh?????

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul hurriedly grasps Sun Mi’s wrist to lead her into the inside of their room)

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to lead Sun Mi to the front of a mirror………then he intentionally gives Sun Mi a scolding) Jin Sun Mi………what is this………you’re not a one or two year old little child………look at you………look at your face and clothes………oh boy………what a mess………

 

Sun Mi: (She looks at her unshapely figure………she grimaces at herself and drops down her head)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul stares hard examining Sun Mi closely) Why didn’t you wake me from sleeping………and take me with you………why would you go to the playground by yourself………the playground………had many children around you right………

 

Sun Mi: (Her face blushes red) Stop it!! (Sun Mi in a hurry walks into the bathroom)

 

Hyun Chul: Ha ha ha ha…………

 

#LATER THAT NIGHT, HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi have no concern about the sticky and humid weather………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi sit side by side leaning against each other………in front of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………there is in the middle a video playing………following the sound of music………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi are able to see………the fine appearance of the lead character’s guitar performance………

 

Sun Mi: (She stealthily looks at Hyun Chul………then her eyes once again glance toward the screen) Wow it’s nice………

 

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……… even when you watched over from your view………Don’t you think he looks wonderful??

 

Hyun Chul: (He quietly picks up the remote control………then with a snap!! He turns off the T.V. screen)

 

Sun Mi: Why did you turn it off??

 

Hyun Chul: HaAh~~~~~~~~~~I’m sleepy………Sun Mi, it is about time we should go to bed………(He holds up Sun Mi in his arms rather lightly………then carries Sun Mi toward the bed)

 

Sun Mi: I’m………not sleepy yet Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Don’t you know………we have to get up early again tomorrow morning………therefore let us get to bed early Sun Mi……….(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi together lay themselves down in the bed)

 

Sun Mi: (She looks up at Hyun Chul) A moment ago that guy that appeared on the screen………didn’t you think he looked wonderful Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: ………………………………

 

Sun Mi: Answer me Hyun Chul please………didn’t you think his appearance was very nice??

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to entirely bury Sun Mi’s face into his chest) why don’t you be quiet and go to sleep!!

 

Sun Mi: (once again Sun Mi holds up her head) Well………for a long time since………I should like to look at the appearance of people in the music performance………especially the guitar performance………

 

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: A moment ago………the guy in the music performance………his outward appearance was just ordinary………but from the moment he began playing his guitar………he looked very wonderful and nice………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul pulls Sun Mi up………then exactly in front of him he tries to look face to face with Sun Mi) that musician’s appearance………looked that extensively wonderful and nice to you??

 

Sun Mi: Yes………it’s about me………from the atmosphere of holding the classical guitar to tuning………to the sweet and mellow barrel guitar………then also the passionate gushing rock music’s guitar………it doesn’t matter what kind of guitar it is………I unconditionally like all guitars………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh you do??

 

Sun Mi: Oh anyhow!! I forget………now that I come to think about it………on top of your office desk………I remember the framed picture………your appearance………that passionate guitar performance………it was also very wonderful and nice looking………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh you thought that………(he pulls Sun Mi nearer into an embrace) that thing was………not just a guitar………it was a bass guitar………

 

Sun Mi: Bass guitar………oh it was a bass guitar………I didn’t know that………because I’m not a specialist………from my view it looked the same as any other guitar………

 

Hyun Chul: (he has a floating faint smile) the bass guitar………is the charged low-pitch sounding musical instrument in the band………because it’s a low-pitch sound instrument there is not much of a special spark to it………but there is a weighty soft and tender sound that spreads out to touch eternal life to tears………it is an extremely fascinating instrument………(it has been a long time since the tune pitch of the bass guitar has flashed across Hyun Chul’s mind………Hyun Chul’s face become little by little flushed) there is a difference between the bass guitar and other guitars………they have from 4 to 6 strings………also there are some bass guitars have 7 strings………there are also some bass guitars that have more than 7 strings………

 

Sun Mi: (She is aware of Hyun Chul’s heart lightly throbbing from excitement………before she is aware tears come down Sun Mi’s cheeks)

 

Hyun Chul: Throughout the inside of the band………the bass guitar links together with the tender and soft sounds of the other instruments………and then they fills up the empty space with sound………(Hyun Chul takes Sun Mi under his arms firmly in a tight embrace………even around Hyun Chul’s eyes there are some hazy stuff)………Well like Jin Sun Mi………it is for sure like Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (She firmly covers her mouth with her hand to stop her crying sound from coming through………Sun Mi sobs quietly………she tries more deeply………to go against Hyun Chul’s chest………)

 

(In the middle of the night………Sun Mi confirms that Hyun Chul has fallen asleep………Sun Mi quietly come out from Hyun Chul’s chest………she moves toward somewhere………)

 

#THE NEXT DAY, IN THE MORNING

 

(Beginning in the morning, Sun Mi behaves very diligent……… before Hyun Chul arrives in their room………Sun Mi tries to finish preparing for this matter………all night………she brought the bass guitar from the empty room across from their room………she sits the bass guitar obliquely onto the corner of their bed………then between the strings Sun Mi leaves a small note………for a little while Sun Mi anxiously gazes at the bass guitar………but the sound of Hyun Chul coming up the stairs makes Sun Mi urgently get out off their room………)

 

#A LIVING ROOM

 

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi’s appears coming out from their room) are you already finished preparing for work??

 

Sun Mi: Huh?? Yes………

 

Hyun Chul: We still have some time left………why did you hurry like this??

 

Sun Mi: Well I just did………I’m going to go downstairs first………all right Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: How about my necktie??

 

Sun Mi: Today you tie your necktie by yourself………

 

Hyun Chul: (the color of his eyes become playful) Jin Sun Mi………since yesterday you have been very suspicious-looking………yesterday you came into the house with dirt all over you………and this morning you didn’t even properly eat breakfast………there is something the matter with you………right Jin Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: No………what you talking about?………there is nothing the matter with me………hurry up………finish preparing yourself to go to work and come downstairs as soon as possible………(she hurriedly runs down the stairs)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul watches Sun Mi until she disappears from his eye sight………then he just smiles)

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

 

(Hyun Chul enters his room………before Sun Mi left the room she selected Hyun Chul’s necktie………Hyun Chul picks up his necktie placed in front of a mirror………he appears to be in a cheerful mood as he ties his necktie………)

 

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

(Something catches his eyes………for one moment he thought was seeing something wrong………Hyun Chul slowly turns his body around toward what he saw………)

 

(!!……………………………………)

 

(Hyun Chul’s facial expression becomes something unknown as he spins himself around………his eyes become stiffened in a steady gaze at the memories of himself………Hyun Chul slowly walks toward the place………moving step by step)

 

(During all this time………how did Hyun Chul live this way without thinking about this thing………at that time he ruthlessly put this behind him………once this bass guitar become the same as himself-an alter ego………nevertheless he did not have the heart to completely throw it away………at that time without any thought Hyun Chul tried at once to put away this bass………into a dark corner on one side of the basement storage………Hyun Chul’s fingertips tremble………he hesitates for a moment………then he carefully approaches the bass guitar………)

 

(Hyun Chul gently sweep down………he can see the white piece of note………stuck between the strings………)

 

(Hyun Chul……………………………………………………………………….

This is your bass guitar that I just misunderstand thinking it was the same as any other guitar………how do you feel about meeting again after so long a time??………I swept off the heap of dust………and in my own way I even gazed at this bass guitar………how about it………so far it is still very useful this bass guitar right??………Oh by the way………yesterday I made a mistake too………I broke off one of the strings………well that broken string you need to put on a new string………and the final examination includes tuning the bass guitar………that is your share………you’re probably very curious to know how I discovered your treasure, right Hyun Chul………but I’m not going to tell you………)

 

(The first day I attended to your office………a framed picture captured my eyes………a picture placed on top of your desk at one corner………a different side to your appearance………at that time I thought for a moment the guy sitting in front of me………was very unfamiliar to the person inside the framed picture………but it was very charming and fascinating………unlike old times you are unable to grow long hair………and you are unable to wear leather trousers………but it is not wrong to………after you get through with your daily business routine………and then untie your necktie………with undo your dress shirt………get into high spirits and beat your bass guitar………a different taste should come out as well………)

 

(I………I really didn’t like to see………your appearance as if you were trying hard to make an effort to forget about this matter………as you throw into an antiquated place something you love………do you know why that is?………because your feelings are transmitted onto me………so I feel more pain than you………from now on………please don’t bury your problems into yourself and don’t just let matters ripen within yourself………always take care of this bass at your side………and adopt it as your friend………if there is any chance that you go into the world and get tangled and things become difficult………there is nothing better than this bass guitar becoming your best friend………right……… that is why………I really believe you love this bass guitar so much………so I think that……… this bass guitar understands you more than anyone else………and it comforts you………)

 

(Finally………I apologize to you………because without your approval………I freely brought out your memories………perhaps I………very much wish to see………and wonder about your appearance walking out from the inside of the framed picture………at least the moment you strike this bass guitar………I wish you to dismiss everything from your mind………and just think………happy thoughts………this weighty bass guitar ………is an important valuable alter ego………is the same treasure as Jin Sun Mi………I wish that this bass guitar will always wake you from sleeping………)

 

(Hyun Chul………I love you…………………I desire to link you together with all the matters you love………and I desire to fill you up with satisfaction………

…………………………………………………………………………..Jin Sun Mi)

 

(P. S.: don’t forget………your first standing precedence for eternal life is of course that I am alright………also………we may be late for work………so if you don’t mind can you possible make this reunion meeting short………I am waiting outside for you………)

 

(Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

 

(Hyun Chul sits down on top of the bed………as his head drops down………something hazy drips down his face………on top of his dress shirt………and spreads drawing a circle………)

 

(Yesterday her unshapely figure covered with dust………obtaining the video………everything must have been………no accident………)

 

(Hyun Chul gave up his dream………and now it is brought up to life passing through time’s pain………but more than that Sun Mi did all this for his sake………Sun Mi’s deep love………makes Hyun Chul feelings become more deeply painful………driving a pungent of emotions)

 

#ON THE WAY TO THE OFFICE, INSIDE HYUN CHUL’S CAR

 

(Since Hyun Chul and Sun Mi left home………silence floats between them………Hyun Chul just looks toward the front as he drives with a hard look on his face………Sun Mi once in a while takes a good look at Hyun Chul’s appearance………then Sun Mi wonders about this matter………maybe she behaved too impatiently with this matter………Sun Mi feels uneasy and anxious………during the days Sun Mi attended to her office………she always thought the distance between home and work was a very short………but today somehow Sun Mi feels this road is taking very long………)

 

#THE PARKING LOT

 

Sun Mi: ………Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Lets go (he takes his seatbelt off)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul I just………

 

Hyun Chul: Its late………lets hurry and go………(he gets out from the car first)

 

Sun Mi: (Before she is aware her eyes become full of tears………then tears begin to drip)

 

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul is on the telephone to somewhere) I am sorry………it has been so long since I have called………and I called to just make an extravagant request from you………

 

Min Gyoo: What do you mean “sorry”………we are friends………well then tonight………I must see whether or not Yun Hyun Chul’s bass guitar skills have gotten rusty………I guess I should gather together the rest of us………

 

Hyun Chul: Well let me see………(he constantly opens and closes and opens and closes his fingers)………I don’t know if I will able to play well………it has been a long time since I played the bass guitar………

 

Min Gyoo: Well nevertheless………where should your real abilities go………even I think about this matter now………it is very pitiful and regrettable………

 

Hyun Chul: …………………

 

Min Gyoo: Ahh~~~~~~~~~once again I make a useless statement………for someone like you who proceeds the distance well………and I make this kind of useless statement………well anyhow………anytime your memories should cross your mind………and you have the chance………why don’t you enjoy………coming to this place from time to time………don’t disconnect yourself completely from here okey………

 

Hyun Chul: ………Umm………

 

Min Gyoo: Anyhow my younger sister-in-law………I thought her face was only beautiful………but even her heart has a first class beauty………

 

Hyun Chul: What do you mean younger sister-in-law………you should call her older sister-in-law………don’t you know she is your solemn older sister-in-law………

 

Min Gyoo: What!! Don’t you know………my birthday is much earlier then your birthday

 

Hyun Chul: What is the use of your birthday being earlier then mine………you’re still a bachelor………no, I should say you are unable to marry yet………I’m a real man………don’t you know??

 

Min Gyoo: Oh boy! You are………alright………alright………all that time passed by………but you remain unchanged………you were always persistent in your strong point of view behavior………

 

Hyun Chul: What!!!!!!!!!!

 

Min Gyoo: Well see you later………Okay………(he hangs up the phone with a slap)

 

Hyun Chul: (he just smiles)

 

(Hyun Chul’s cell phone rings)

 

Hyun Chul: (He quickly hangs up the office phone………and opens his cell phone) Yes………

 

Sun Mi: It’s me………

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………

 

Sun Mi: I think I’m going to finish work a little late………how about you??

 

Hyun Chul: Well I think I don’t have that much left to do………

 

Sun Mi: Then you go home from work first………don’t try unnecessarily to wait for me………all right Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: All right I get it………

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: you think you are going to be very late??

 

Sun Mi: Oh~~~No………I think about one hour………

 

Hyun Chul: Well then………see you later at home………(he hangs up his cell phone with a slap) Oh Jin Sun Mi………foolish lady………you should not………once again you cry because you are so disappointed at my behavior………

 

Sun Mi: (She barely pushes down her tears………she tries hard to make herself smile………she proceeds toward her computer monitor)

 

#IN FRONT OF THE BROADCASTING STATION

 

(Sun Mi helplessly walk outs the front of the broadcasting station………of her own accord Sun Mi faintly sighs………however………Sun Mi unintentionally lifts up her head………and in front of her eyes………like a dream………she can see Hyun Chul persistently standing in front of the broadcasting station………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul stands leaning against his car………then he widely stretches open both of his arms)

 

Sun Mi: …………………………

 

Hyun Chul: What are you doing Jin Sun Mi………you are always one tempo behind time………hurry up………don’t you want to come close to me………

 

Sun Mi: (She hesitates………then she runs toward Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul lightly and carefree embraces Sun Mi………as Sun Mi flies running into Hyun Chul’s chest………then he puts Sun Mi down on the ground) you were disappointed in me a lot today??

 

Sun Mi: No………

 

Hyun Chul: Are you really not disappointed in me??

 

Sun Mi: ………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Well I think it would be good idea………if we leave this place as quickly as possible………you know this place is in front of the broadcasting station………

 

#INSIDE HYUN CHUL’S CAR

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul firmly holds onto Sun Mi’s hand………to draw Sun Mi’s hand near him)

 

Sun Mi: I thought you were angry with me………

 

Hyun Chul: …………………………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………

 

Hyun Chul: How I can I be angry with you………as a matter of fact………you did such a nice thing for me………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul quickly looks back at Sun Mi………then he steadily gazes toward the front as he drives) you are trying to cry again………aren’t you??

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: Well it is still too early to cry………the real game should begin now………

 

Sun Mi: What are you talking about Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: There is something that………

 

Sun Mi: (She looks at Hyun Chul with a dubious look………and then she steadily gazes outside the car window) Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: Hmm………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul this road is………different than the road that goes toward home………we must be going somewhere, right??

 

Hyun Chul: You just figured that out now??

 

Sun Mi: Where we are going………I didn’t even telephone home………

 

Hyun Chul: I already had a word with them about everything………surely………you didn’t think I wasn’t even going to think about that kind of matter………

 

Sun Mi: Really………where are we going??

 

Hyun Chul: It is a secret!! (He looks back at Sun Mi………he gives Sun Mi a beaming smile)

#LIVE ROCK CAFÉ

 

(The time is still early………and then………the Live Rock Café is a rather large space………but this place has already compactly filled up causing there not to even be a spot to step………the atmosphere is heated with youthfulness………flowing here and there………fully enjoying the freedom of mind and spirit………linked together with youthful body gestures………)

 

(In this chaos like Kasha’s rule they search for discipline………everybody is pleasant inside the absence of order complete confusion………proceed toward one………proceed toward one place………the people passionately shake their bodies………together with sweat gushing out like falling rain………there is a flash of lovely………)

 

(As Hyun Chul takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand………dig through the crowd………Hyun Chul proceeds toward the corner of the place………before he is aware………Hyun Chul goes back to the time when he was 20years old………)

 

Hyun Chul: (moves his body lightly………looking around the surrounding places)

 

Sun Mi: (those days from previous years crosses Sun Mi’s mind………she looks fixedly at Hyun Chul’s face)

 

Hyun Chul: Are you all right!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: Are you very glad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (He smiles big and bright) How about it Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight!! Be bright with the bloom of youth!! We are going to go back to the time of past years………

 

Sun Mi: Yes I like it!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: I can’t hear you!!!!!!!! Once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is nice right Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: Yes Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(Embracing from behind………Hyun Chul lets Sun Mi sits on top of his lap………like the bursting sound of music………Hyun Chul moves smoothly………then he nods his head to the sound of music………he takes hold of Sun Mi’s hands………on top of her knees………they adjust to the cheerful exciting rhythm of the sound of the music………Hyun Chul becomes ripe in the celebration………sharing with Sun Mi………)

 

(Sun Mi consciously becomes aware of Hyun Chul transmitting his trembling excitement………there in front of Sun Mi’s view………the bass performer’s appearance become wonderful and ornament on the stage………then Sun Mi imagines………Hyun Chul standing on that stage performing on the bass………)

 

(Waiting for the next performance………all the people’s appearance is not much different than any other occasions………for a little while all the people take a breath and try to cool down their sweat during the intermission………however………all of the sudden there is the sound of the vocalist………the audience becomes silent………)

 

“I have to make a regrettable announcement………Mr. Park our band’s bassist………has suddenly come down with stomach trouble………he absolutely cannot perform………by some chance is there maybe in this hall………does anyone know how to handle a bass guitar………we feel very unsatisfied to stop performing as is………is there no one who can help us in this performance”

 

(All people inside the hall begin to move noisily)

 

Sun Mi: Hy~~Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul contracts his eyebrows fixing a signal to Min Gyoo standing far away………then he smiles faintly) Umm………

 

Sun Mi: (she turns to look around at Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul………don’t you think you should help these people??

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………

 

Sun Mi: Yes of course you can help them, right?? I think you should help?? You can help these people right, Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Why don’t you? Did you forget how to play the bass??

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………

 

Sun Mi: I………I really wish you would help them………look at them………they all look very pitiful………for the sake of today’s performance………these people prepared a few days and nights for this performance………help them please………just try once please Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul:………………………

 

Sun Mi: …………………………

 

Hyun Chul:………if you wish me to perform………

 

Sun Mi: ………Hyun Chul………

 

“Is there anyone who can play the bass”

 

Sun Mi: H~e~~~~right here~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: You think they can hear your voice………sounding as is??

 

Sun Mi: Right Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (She grabs Hyun Chul’s arm and lifts it up high)

 

(As Hyun Chul and Sun Mi firmly hold onto each other’s hand………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi crosses through people opening a way to let Hyun Chul and Sun Mi pass through………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi move toward the stage………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi appear in neat and clean formal clothes………inside the hall all the people’s attention looks miraculous………they all spit out one statement………from Min Gyoo’s call………during the past times Hyun Chul’s senior and junior friend’s appear as is………they all gathered together after a very long time………then all together they raise their thumbs up toward Hyun Chul………)

 

Hyun Chul: (He unties his necktie and hands it over to Sun Mi) I’m very nervous to be on the stage………

 

Sun Mi: Then you just look at me Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: (He smiles) all right………I will………Sun Mi by all means I will do exactly what you say………(Hyun Chul runs his lips softly against Sun Mi’s forehead………after that he jumps on top of the high stage)

 

(Hyun Chul receives the bass and puts it over his shoulder………then he listens to the description about today’s performance………he lightly strums a string………Hyun Chul’s fingers lightly tremble………)

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi glance at each other, face to face………Hyun Chul for the sake of Sun Mi………Sun Mi for the sake of Hyun Chul………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi think for the sake of each other prepared today’s matters………beginning with the sound of the drum vibrates to everyone inside to hall………there once again only their time begins………)

 

(Hyun Chul behaves a little awkward………he takes a hold of the bass and brings himself to life one by one to the sensibilities of memories………then he begins to ride the sound………like a fascination………before he is aware………Hyun Chul and the bass become as one………everyone’s spirit is touched to tears………continuously linked together with the heavy and clumsy rhythm………)

 

(Inside the café all the people move their whole bodies falling into the music………different from the surrounding people………like an interrupting screen………Sun Mi holds both of her hands firmly in front of her chest………keeping watch over Hyun Chul………her facial expression is like utter confusion with her tears………joined together with a mix of her laughter………continuing to flow out………)

 

(It is like Hyun Chul is dreaming………)

 

(Only devoted for the sake of Sun Mi………Hyun Chul’s fingers move brilliantly and gorgeously………his body movements fascinated with devotion………wondering about on top of the stage………there in this space………in the middle of the sound roaming about………Sun Mi only devotes her ear to hearing and concentrating………as Hyun Chul puts forth the cultivated melody………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s heart become one………and then the climax is accomplished………)

 

(The sound of music floats like long echoes………before Hyun Chul’s music comes to an end………he is soaked with sweat………Hyun Chul gently jumps down to the lower part of the stage toward Sun Mi………as he changes direction he dangles the bass over his back………Hyun Chul lightly picks Sun Mi up………and then he slowly draws a circle………there tears drop from Sun Mi’s eyes toward Hyun Chul’s cheek………Hyun Chul gently puts Sun Mi down onto the floor………then they meet with delicate eyes toward each other………)

 

Sun Mi: From now on I am………Hyun Chul I will be your everlasting fan………I really didn’t know until now………why people become so obsessed about stars………you know Hyun Chul………I finally understand today………

 

Hyun Chul: Only for your sake………I am going to play this bass guitar only for you………

 

(Hyun Chul pull out the bass guitar………then he hands it over to someone next to him………Hyun Chul grasps both of Sun Mi’s hands and places them on top of his shoulders………from the passionate moment of beating the bass guitar………Hyun Chul passionately runs his lips against Sun Mi’s lips………and he embraces Sun Mi around the waist………)

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s moods are linked together………there is a quick sense with Min Gyoo’s consideration………untimely the vibrating romantic music spreads through out the hall………the youthfulness………from a place without expectation………without the matter of expectations………they dream about………there is nothing wrong………from the rock café there is the sound of blues………like the rock café is trying to change the category of the business atmosphere………all the people accommodate to receive as it is………like the main characters Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………they all appear like Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………all the people come together to dance sweetly………)

 

(Everybody surrounds Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………at this moment………they just exist………for the sake of only Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………sink into the sweet music………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi move their bodies slowly………and spin themselves around to each other’s sweet and mellow lips………)

 

Hyun Chul: ……… I probably wonder………some day………I hope someone would pull out the bass guitar from the basement………with my own hand………I cannot possibly have the confidence to do it………I must have wished for someone to guide me to that place………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………

 

Hyun Chul: ………some day………some one should………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Probably beginning since I’ve known you………I must have desired you to do this for me………Sun Mi you are………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Thank Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul these kind words………I don’t want to hear such kind words from you………

 

Hyun Chul: I understand Sun Mi………but this evening………precisely I should say these words………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………

 

Hyun Chul: Thanks for everything………for being born into this world………and also appearing in front of me………you love me and consider me………you care about everything for me………

 

Sun Mi: ………me too………I am also……….

 

(Tears pour down Sun Mi’s face………Hyun Chul tries to wipe Sun Mi’s tear………then Hyun Chul rubs his cheek affectionately against Sun Mi’s cheek………with all his ability he devotes himself toward Sun Mi………after he gives Sun Mi a deep kiss………he gently rubs Sun Mi’s cheek………like a bass guitar………with a low and weighty voice………against Sun Mi’s ear………

 

“I love you………Sun Mi………I love you”

 

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 20 Part 1

 

#THE BROADCASTING STATION, A LOBBY

 

Young Mi: (So far when she thought about Sun Mi………her malicious intentions become perverse and crooked………Young Mi can see Sun Mi’s appearance as Sun Mi walks toward the opposite side from her………Young Mi doesn’t even look at Sun Mi………she just nods her head lightly toward Sun Mi………and just walks past Sun Mi………)

 

Sun Mi: Miss Heo Young Mi!!

 

Young Mi: !!!!!!!!

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Young Mi: (Young Mi looks back at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: Hi, how are you Miss Heo Young Mi…We are in the same building inside the broadcasting station………but we never get to see each other often………how are you ………are you doing well these days??

 

Young Mi: (Young Mi behaves sulky and reluctant) Well………yes………I know it is kind of late to say this to you………but………congratulations on your wedding………I did not even attend your marriage ceremony at the ceremonial hall………

 

Sun Mi: That’s all right Miss Young Mi………I know you were very busy with your work………but Miss Young Mi from the bottom of your heart………you congratulate our marriage as good as anybody else who congratulated us, right??

 

Young Mi: Huh!! Yes!!

 

Sun Mi: These days I really enjoy watching Miss Heo Young Mi on your program………it very nicely contains Miss Heo Young Mi’s unique personality………I heard you received very good responses from the surrounding people………you must be very proud of yourself and your work………right Miss Young Mi………

 

Young Mi: (thinking to herself “what is this………is she trying to put on show off………because she has become Director’s wife”………Young Mi begins to feel bad inside) Well thank you for watching my program like that………but………my real dream is………that I will become the main 9 o’clock anchor………at the present time what I’m doing is………it is just an advancing step for the sake of becoming the main 9 o’clock anchor………and actually I’m a little concerned about matters these days………because I worry that my image will become stuck as it is………

 

Sun Mi: Well Miss Hoe Young Mi………I don’t know if I should mention these kinds of words………probably these words may cause you to think that I am being impolite with bad manners………but these days an announcer should be talented like individuals in the entertainment business………from that aspect………I just think that………Miss Heo Young Mi’s talent is good in the current position………at this moment in time the announcer position demands another set of standards for proper qualification………Miss Heo Young Mi why would want change………

 

Young Mi: (her facial expression looks like “what are you talking about?”)

 

Sun Mi: Well this is just my thought………it is not necessary for everyone to proceed in one direction………they should take a good look at their own attributes………then after that………they should think about………at this time what is important………and proceed toward what is best for themselves………and also what kind of program truly goes well with themselves………Miss Young Mi please at least once think about it very carefully………for the sake of yourself and for the sake of the broadcasting station………about what kind of program would be best for Miss Young Mi………right………

 

Young Mi: What are you talking about………are you trying to tell me that my image is not suitable for an anchor person………is that the kind of remark you just tried to mention??

 

Sun Mi: Oh Miss Young Mi………if you listened to the words that I just mentioned that way………then I should apologize to you………I am just merely a fan of Miss Heo Young Mi………and I just thought………in the future………I wondered whether I might not see Miss Heo Young Mi’s talented progress………I already feel something lacking from Miss Young Mi’s special talent………I am only concerned about you………Miss Heo Young Mi………

 

Young Mi: (Her feelings become very uncomfortable)

 

Sun Mi: Well………see you later then………right Miss Young Mi………

 

Young Mi: Oh by the way!!………Are you going to continue attending the broadcasting station??………I thought I was never going to see Mrs. Sun Mi’s appearance again once you got married………well, don’t you know………you are not married to just an ordinary simple man………

 

Sun Mi: (faintly smiles) Miss Young Mi………you must not particularly wish to see me in the future………

 

Young Mi: (she loses her composure) Huh??

 

Sun Mi: May I ask Miss Young Mi………if in the future you should get married………will you resign from your announcer position??

 

Young Mi: Well that………that is………

 

Sun Mi: Surely not………no matter what kind of person you marry………you will undergo a change in your thought………I always thought………at least………there is nothing like the standards of a MBS female announcer………they are very self-conceited………they place their duties above all average thoughts………how about it, Miss Young Mi??………If you are in such a matter………don’t you think you should resign your duty that easily??

 

Young Mi: Ahem! Uhm! (She unnecessarily coughs)

 

Sun Mi: Well Miss Young Mi………I also can’t easily let go of my job………during my last year at the university………I just came and went between the library and home………wrestling through books………during the hot summers and cold winters………the first time………I heard news from the broadcasting station………that I succeed in my examinations………Miss Young Mi, do you know how happy my father was to hear about it………of course I’m was also very happy too………at that time in my own way………I thought once I stepped inside the broadcasting station………I should………no I resolved to tell myself that at least I should break off one of the branches………with that kind of resolution I made up my mind………at the time I first stepped into the broadcasting station………Miss Young Mi, now coming to all this………do you think I should give up my job that easily………just because I got married………

 

Young Mi: (She sarcastically remarks) Well then………but now you should know………you don’t have any problems breaking any of the branches………if you coax Mr. Director good………you can even shake the bottom of the root………

 

Sun Mi: ………………(Her facial expression become stiff)

 

Young Mi: (for a moment she shrinks back)

 

Sun Mi: It probably depends on how we think………not every person should have the same thoughts………

 

Young Mi: …………………………………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks straight into Young Mi’s eyes) however………if there is any chance I did break branch!!………If I as well shake the bottom of the roots!!………I think I should use my own strength to work!!………Well, Miss Young Mi!! Then see you later!! Take care!! (Sun Mi turns around and walk away from Young Mi)

 

Young Mi: (Young Mi steadily gazes at Sun Mi’s appearance from the back until Sun Mi disappears from her view)

 

#CHAIRMAN YUN’S HOUSE, THE SECOND FLOOR LIVING ROOM

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………together they come home late from work………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi come up the second floor stairs………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul easily lifts up Sun Mi in his arms)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: From the front gate I want to go along with you in my arms this way………I know you were very patient while missing me today and just worked hard………so I want to give you an award……….

 

Sun Mi: (she smiles) all right I get it………let us get into the room quickly………

 

Hyun Chul: Huh~~~Ahh~~~~ Well, I guess we should quickly establish a separate place from the family………I tell you……….this is too small of a space for us to really show our affection to each other………

 

Sun Mi: (She looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: Well tonight………I should begin from here………to make my mood slowly into an atmosphere??

 

Sun Mi: What are you doing Hyun Chul!! What if your younger brother appears in from his room………then how are you going to act………

 

Hyun Chul: Are you talking about Min Chul?? These days he is so busy………he comes home very late………He already has been missing morning exercises for a few day………

 

Sun Mi: Well but still………Hyun Chul please quickly………get inside the room………

 

Hyun Chul: No I don’t want to!! (Hyun Chul stick out one of his cheeks) Kiss!!

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: You’re not going to do!! Then I’m going to continue to stand like this!!

 

Sun Mi: ………(She hold Hyun Chul’s neck in her arms………then she moves her lips toward Hyun Chul’s cheek)

 

Hyun Chul: (He quickly turns his head………locks in Sun Mi’s lips………Sun Mi tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s behavior………but Hyun Chul tries more firmly to embrace Sun Mi………then Hyun Chul begins to persistently move his body toward Sun Mi)

 

(“Bang” “Bang” one by one Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s briefcases drop to the floor………for a moment the tips of Sun Mi’s toes come in contact with the floor………she is entangled together with Hyun Chul………Sun Mi steps backward in the direction of a wall………it is already too late for Hyun Chul’s behavior to stop………Sun Mi allows Hyun Chul’s passion to ride down her body………it is midsummer………the atmosphere is heated………this unbearable breath………oscillates moving to and fro spraying out into the space………)

 

(However………at that time……….)

 

(A bang!!!!!!!!!! Another bang!!! Sound of knock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahumm!! Umm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

(Flowing out from Min Chul’s room………there is sound of full dissatisfaction as Min Chul clears his throat and a sound of knocking on a door………)

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s eyes become round as they are interrupted from everything)

 

Sun Mi: (Her facial expression looks like she is going to cry) Oh my goodness what should I do………

 

Hyun Chul: (he just smiles) What do you mean what should you do………I guess you should do like this………

 

Sun Mi: Ummh!!!!!!!!!! (She quickly covers her mouth)

 

Hyun Chul: (He carries Sun Mi’s against his shoulder………then he picks up both of their briefcases in one hand………then urgently they get into their room………)

 

#THE NEXT MORNING

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi fears meeting Min Chul by any chance………in a hurry she tries to get down the stairs………at that moment)

 

Min Chul: Good morning………it is a nice day………isn’t it Sister-in-law!!

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!………(Sun Mi’s face becomes red………she can’t even turn around to look at Min Chul) Y~~es………younger brother………

 

Min Chul: Did you sleep well last night sister-in-law??

 

Sun Mi: Huh?? Yes………well…………(she hurriedly runs down the stairs)

 

Min Chul: (He makes a beaming smile)

 

(At that moment the sound of the door flying open………Hyun Chul comes out from his room………these two men………Hyun Chul and Min Chul’s eyes look like little rascals………they are a little playful………but keep matters with greatest care………they coagulate toward each other………)

 

Min Chul: Oh boy………don’t you know………not only you two live in this space………did you have to behave like that showing that kind of atmosphere??

 

Hyun Chul: Well I should tell you………don’t you think………you should just pretend like you don’t know anything about that moment of atmosphere!!

 

Min Chul: Well………the first time I thought I was to going to be pretend like I did not know anything about the matter………but as time goes on………the atmosphere of those matters in the outside room have become very strange………so I thought if I leave the matter as is………then the atmosphere outside will go on without any limits………so that is why………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul bites his bottom lip with a scowl in his eyes at Min Chul) You!! I’m warning you………you better be careful!!

 

Min Chul: Oh boy………who should say those words………

 

(From downstairs………is the sound of Mrs. Lee’s urgent call to Hyun Chul and Min Chul to come down………Hyun Chul and Min Chul keep checking each other………then they slowly go down the stairs………)

 

Mrs. Lee: Your father is waiting for you two………why do you two wriggle about as is………your father has already gone outside………well quickly run and follow your father………

 

Min Chul: Well, mother last night………I didn’t sleep well………that is why………

 

Mrs. Lee: Why didn’t you?? You told me you were going to sleep soundly………therefore you went upstairs early………

 

Min Chul: Yes I know mother………mother by the way………there should be one more separate house annex constructed………if not we should add a third floor………if not even that………then I think we should be certain to make the walls soundproof………

 

Mrs. Lee: What are you talking about??

 

Min Chul: Well mother let me think………what I’m just trying to say………well mother, I think it would be better to ask older brother about this matter at once………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul pretends ignorance of what Min Chul’s remarks)

 

Mrs. Lee: Hyun Chul………do you know………what Min Chul means by these remarks??

 

Hyun Chul: Well let me think mother………if I put his words together………I guess what he means is………he wishes to live separate from all of us and go out from here to live by himself………yes of course………Min Chul I think………your thought is a very good idea………my condo………is still not quite re-arranged yet………well I think you should go live over there………that would settle everything right………

 

Min Chul: Oh boy now you even think that………you are trying to completely drive me away………why should I………in my situation………even when I get married I will come to enter this house to live………

 

Mrs. Lee: (She is bewildered by Hyun Chul and Min Chul’s behavior)

 

Min Chul: Well in the future………at least everyone should be a little more careful, please………well if you really can’t control your excitement then………at least you could check to make sure that I am home or not………AHCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul firmly steps on Min Chul’s foot) that is enough!! Stop it!!

 

Mrs. Lee: (she strikes Hyun Chul and Min Chul’s back) you two………both of you are acting like the wrong age….you two are acting very immature………you’re even married………why do you two behave so childishly………I am kind of embarrassed and worried that my new daughter is going to be see this matter………both of you get out of here quickly!!

 

Hyun Chul: (His facial expression looks threatening toward Min Chul)

 

Min Chul: (Min Chul’s facial expression also scorns at Hyun Chul………but in the middle of those expressions Min Chul tries to make a beaming smile at Hyun Chul)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul holds the telephone in his hand) it’s me~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Are you angry about yesterday’s matter??

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: For your sake………you think………that I should give Min Chul a hard time??

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: Well by the way………what is wrong with Min Chul………for a long time he has come home at daybreak………why all of the sudden did he come home early yesterday………oh boy………he doesn’t know how much he interfered with our matters………right??

 

Sun Mi: Well don’t you think it is your fault………because you didn’t listen to what I said to you………

 

Hyun Chul: But still we were one hundred percent thrilled………don’t you think………

 

Sun Mi: What??

 

Hyun Chul: (He smiles) Well anyhow………are you all right………you hardly had a proper breakfast………in a little while………let us have lunch together………I will buy you a delicious meal………okay Sun Mi?

 

Sun Mi: All right then………Hyun Chul………(she turns her head toward the direction of a sound coming about) Hyun Chul I better hang up the phone………Supervisor Kim is calling me………

 

Hyun Chul: Mmm………(As he puts down his phone………there is a sound from the interoffice phone) Yes………

 

Secretary Miss Lee: Mr. Director…Mr. Chairman’s office has informed me………at this moment Mr. Chairman is urgently looking for you………

 

Hyun Chul: Thank you………

 

#THE CHAIRMAN’S OFFICE

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: Sit down………

 

Hyun Chul: Yes Sir………(Hyun Chul picks a place to sit down)

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: Well I heard………everyone has become very busy with preparing themselves reorganizing for the fall programs??

 

Hyun Chul: Yes Sir………

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: These days how is my new daughter doing………between working at home and working at the broadcasting station………it must be very hard on her?

 

Hyun Chul: Well Sir………I don’t know much about that matter………she is the kind of person that doesn’t like to show her emotions toward me that much………

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: ………well sometimes………I think about my new daughter………and my innermost heart becomes very happy………but also………my innermost heart becomes very relieved too………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul faintly smiles)

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: That is why I mention this matter to you………I really am very aware that………these days you are very busy with your business matters………but my new daughter should be very reliable to watch over the broadcasting station……… therefore…Hyun Chul don’t you think it would be all right………we should go on a business trip together for a little while………

 

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: Actually………last springtime………I decided to make a trip once to go around with you and then comeback………but because of your matrimony………the trip was avoidable during that time………so what about it………lets go on a business trip together………at this time………

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: In the future……… time will pass away a little more………then at that time………you will go on company business trips with my new daughter………anyhow if you don’t mind………schedule a day………for the company business trip………as soon as possible………because the harvest moon day will soon approach………and also my new daughter will soon attend school………

 

Hyun Chul: Yes Sir………

 

Chairman Mr. Yun: At this time………I think the schedule for this trip………will be longer than any other company business trip………I really do wish………to allow you to greet people here and there………

 

#A RESTAURANT

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks fixedly at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi with a jerk takes a fork with food and puts it in her mouth………then she chews her mouthful of food and mumbles………suddenly Sun Mi sees Hyun Chul’s eyes fixedly looking at her………Sun Mi picks up a cup of water to drink)………what are you doing………aren’t you going to eat your meal………

 

Hyun Chul: Well I feel like I just want to look at how well you enjoy eating your meal………even that matter………makes me feel full………

 

Sun Mi: Oh puhhh………

 

Hyun Chul: mumble and chewing your meal………how can your appearance be so sexy like this………as you just take a meal………suddenly I would like to kiss you………

 

Sun Mi: (As her face becomes reddish………then she scowls at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: what are you doing………why don’t you continue eating………

 

Sun Mi: how can I eat like this………

 

Hyun Chul: Why? Are you worried that I’m going to suddenly attack at you??

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!

 

Hyun Chul: (He smiles) don’t worry about it………(He picks up his fork and knife) are you really not going to eat your meal??

 

Sun Mi: I am………I’m going to eat………

 

Hyun Chul: ………about moving out of my parents home and setting up our own place………Sun Mi…you don’t mind if we start that after the harvest moon day passes?

 

Sun Mi: In the long run………that is a very good idea………we should probably do it that way………I think mother’s innermost heart wishes for us to take care of the this matter… this way too………

 

Hyun Chul: Yes I think so………I think that would probably be a better idea………

 

Sun Mi: Mother………she already looks very regrettable about this matter………I think, I guess………it would be very hard to leave the house………Hyun Chul what do you think about this? We should just stay at the house and not establish our own home yet??

 

Hyun Chul: ………………………………………

 

Sun Mi: what do you think about these thoughts………Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: Do you honestly think like this about not establishing our own home?

 

Sun Mi: Yes of course………

 

Hyun Chul: No………let us establish our own home………for the time being let’s put our regrettable feelings toward our parents to the side………we just follow the consideration they gave us………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Well since you are supposed to attend school soon………it will probably make things more hard for you then before………according to your personality………outside mother will move going and coming………you can’t just ignore the matter and leave it as is………you probably won’t be able to even study properly………

 

Sun Mi: (She makes a tiny smile)

 

Hyun Chul: We will just push forward with what we planned………

 

Sun Mi: (She nods her head) all right Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Yes………

 

Hyun Chul: I~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Well I guess nothing………I will talk to you later………

 

Sun Mi: What is the matter? Is there something you want to say Hyun Chul?

 

Hyun Chul: Nothing………it’s nothing………let us just eat quickly okay………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: I think I’m going to do it………the kiss!!

 

Sun Mi: (She tries to eat her meal quickly)

 

Hyun Chul: (he makes a smile………Sun Mi’s appearance makes Hyun Chul once again feel anxious about the matter of the business trip………he breathes out a light sigh………then Hyun Chul unavoidable picks up his food)

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

 

(A few days pass………days draw closer to the scheduled business trip………and yet Hyun Chul still………is unable to mention the business trip to Sun Mi………as now the atmosphere of the night air has considerably become chilly………Hyun Chul stands on the veranda where he breathes in the night air………)

 

(Sun Mi steps inside their room………just after finishing the kitchen work………these days Hyun Chul has markedly become reluctant to speak………Hyun Chul moment by moment only gazes with anxious eyes at Sun Mi………Sun Mi silently keeps watch over Hyun Chul’s appearance from behind as he stands on the veranda………)

 

(As the night becomes deeper………Hyun Chul’s tranquil quiet voice reaches Sun Mi’s ear………)

 

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Please come close to me………

 

Sun Mi: ………(She steps forward toward Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul takes Sun Mi by the waist in his arms………then he tightly embraces Sun Mi from behind………he gently sweeps down Sun Mi’s cheek………then he buries his lips deep against Sun Mi’s warm neck)

 

Sun Mi: (She quietly closes her eyes………then she feels for Hyun Chul’s movements)

 

Hyun Chul: ………Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Yes Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi do you know? Since we met each other………one year and six months has already past by………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: first time I met you………and saw you look at me………with those big round eyes with that very frightened appearance………so far………it is still vividly fresh in my eyes………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi recollects her memory………as it flashes across her mind she faintly smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: After that time………we have never even once………parted from each other………far away from each other………very far away………

 

Sun Mi: ………!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul gently puts Sun Mi’s hand on top of his hand………then he caresses Sun Mi’s hand with his hand) for a long time………we have never experienced being apart from each other………

 

Sun Mi: (She turns around toward Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: ………Umm………

 

Sun Mi: What is wrong………did something happen to you??

 

Hyun Chul: Do I look that way??

 

Sun Mi: Yes………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul drops his head down) No nothing………nothing has happened………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi takes both of her hands toward Hyun Chul………then wrap Hyun Chul’s cheek in her hands………and makes his face move toward her)………tell me please Hyun Chul………what is the matter………

 

Hyun Chul: (on top of the Sun Mi’s softly helping hand………he brushes his cheek)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: (takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand………then he softly puts his lips on her hand………then he gently moves toward Sun Mi’s bosom) You should feel this??

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Do you know Sun Mi………just now at this moment………something………in my heart is trying to tell me………that I………desire to be with you………

 

Sun Mi: (her face turns reddish………her eyes look toward the floor)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul passionately presses against Sun Mi’s lips………then he carries Sun Mi’s lightly and gently in his arms………)

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Supervisor Kim: Well, everyone pay attention!! Next Monday Mr. Director will be attending a business trip………

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Supervisor Kim: Mr. Director is going to take quite some time for this business trip………half a month………before he attends the business trip………Mr. Director requests that our department bring everyone’s planning idea documents to him in advance………therefore let’s all get busy with work………

Sun Mi: …………………!!

Supervisor Kim: Mrs. Jin Sun Mi!!

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Supervisor Kim: Mrs. Jin!!!!!

Sun Mi: (with a flash Sun Mi lifts up her head)

Supervisor Kim: May I see you for a moment………

Sun Mi: Huh?? Yes??

Supervisor Kim: Bring your planning idea documents………

Sun Mi: Yes sir………

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

Hyun Chul: (picks up the telephone in his hand) yes, this is Yun Hyun Chul………

Sang Joon: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: Sang Joon?? This is Sang Joon………am I right??

Sang Joon: That is right you little rascal………this is Sang Joon………I can’t believe you didn’t even send me one letter about the news of your recent matrimony………how could you do that to me?? I thought I was never going to forgive you………but you didn’t forget the sound of my voice and remembered it immediately………therefore only this one time I will let you off………don’t forget this matter, Yun Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Ha Ha Ha………I am very sorry about that………I didn’t inform you about my marriage because I thought you would be very busy with your business………and probably with your personality………it doesn’t matter where you are………or what matter of business you are doing………don’t you think I know you would without reservation run after me………

Sang Joon: Oh boy!………you know how to make excuses………but it came to my ears that you entirely fell into newlywed enjoyment………you didn’t even appear at any place………to meet all of your friends……….

Hyun Chul: Who told you those kinds of extraordinary words………anyhow where are you? It sounds like you are very close by………

Sang Joon: I’m in Seoul………

Hyun Chul: Oh you are?? When did you come to Seoul?? Why didn’t you contact me sooner………

Sang Joon: Oh boy………did you just ask me when I came to Seoul? I just arrived in Seoul………about one hour ago………now I am………in the middle of calling all my friends one by one………about today………everyone should gather together without excuses………especially you, do you understand??………And also by all means you should bring your wife with you………

Hyun Chul: Oh boy!………you are some kind of person………

Sang Joon: Yes I am………I’m a great person all right………I happened to choose to like friends………and I also happen to like to drink liquor………

Hyun Chul: Don’t you think you left out one matter………why did you leave out………the matter that you happen to very much like women………

Sang Joon: Well I’ll tell you………don’t try to change the subject………and you better make sure by all means to bring your wife with you………if you don’t………you should know………how much your body is going to be worn out………

Hyun Chul: Ha Ha Ha Ha …………………………

#AN EMERGENCY EXIT

(Hyun Chul tries to look in on Sun Mi in front of the planning department………at that moment fortunately Sun Mi appears in front of Hyun Chul as she just comes out from inside the planning department………Hyun Chul snatches Sun Mi by the wrist………then he leads Sun Mi to the emergency exit………)

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………they have many words to speak………they also have many questions to ask………but the matter they actually wish to talk about they bury deep in their heart………for a little while Hyun Chul and Sun Mi just look toward each other with eager eyes………)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul leans his back against the wall………next to Sun Mi)
I received a telephone call from a close friend………from the year I spent at Cambridge………he arrived in Seoul today………he insists………that I should meet with him immediately today………he is a little odd fellow………

Sun Mi: ………Oh he did………

Hyun Chul: Not simply only me………he probably called everybody out………if I do not attend………then I’m going to feel apprehensive about future troubles………

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: I was unable to contact him………even at the time of our matrimony………he sounded like he firmly intended to do something toward me………he requested that I make sure to bring you with me to that place………

Sun Mi: Huh?? He did?? Then??

Hyun Chul: No………next time………today I am just going to gather together with only my friends………and if I take you with me to that place………I don’t know what kind of ill-tempered jokes those little rascals will do on you………it is better if I just sacrifice myself………

Sun Mi: Are you going to be all right??

Hyun Chul: Yes I think I will be fine………after we establish our own place separate from my parents house………then we can schedule a day………to invite him to dinner………probably that will do………

Sun Mi: ………Yes Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: I think I will be home very late………and I will be intoxicated………

Sun Mi: ………Oh? Huh??………

Hyun Chul: (He lightly lowers his head) no one should bother you this afternoon………therefore this afternoon you should go home early and rest soundly………all right Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: (She just faintly smiles)

Hyun Chul: (He gently takes hold of Sun Mi’s hand) Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Yes………

Hyun Chul: ………Probably I will miss you a lot………lots and lots………

Sun Mi: ……………………(She just looks at Hyun Chul)

#A BAR

(Meeting after several years………friends gather together………like always the inside of the bar is boisterous and uproarious with noise………blindly daring with a joyful welcome………they run their drink glasses against each other………then they pour one another’s drinks………the atmosphere becomes linked with restlessness………)

Sang Joon: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!! Why didn’t you take my words seriously………huh?? How beautiful the lady you married must be………because you don’t even show your wife………to let us have a chance to look at her………are you trying to tell me she is too precious to show in front of us………Yun Hyun Chul, that is so………right???

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

Sang Joon: Don’t’ laugh!!! From the time you stayed in England………your appearance seemed very charming and perfect………but you didn’t even once date any females………so I thought you were an extraordinary fellow………and also I thought that………probably this fellow is going to love someone in the future………then he will………loose his mind and soul to her at once………I have always thought like this on that matter………

Hyun Chul:……………………………………

Sang Joon: I tell you………that is why I am so curious to know………what kind of person on Earth would marry you………

Hyun Chul: (looks around at his surrounding friends………and behaves a little proud and self-important) you guys………take my place and tell him………how impressive and pretty she is………

(Here and there………they burst out teasing him………)

Sang Joon: Oh yeah!!………Your self-indulgence was like a poke in the sky………today you are flatly caught by me………I am not going to leave you alone………hey everyone, lets all attack Yun Hyun Chul at once!!!!!!!!

(Hyun Chul becomes slightly intoxicated………he excuses himself to go to the restroom and instead stealthily leaves the place………Hyun Chul leans his languished body against a wall………and then draws out his cell phone in his hand………)

Sun Mi: Hello………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi can hear the sound of Hyun Chul breathing) Hyun Chul??

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s voice sounds intoxicated………she looks up at a wall clock) Are you all right?? Are you still drinking??

Hyun Chul: Huh~~~~~~~~~~~~it looks like these rascals have extremely captured me today………their behavior toward me is excessively hard………what should I do………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: Anyhow what are you doing at home??

Sun Mi: not much………I’m just waiting for you………between time I am reading a book………and watching television………

Hyun Chul: I told you I would be very late coming home………don’t wait for me………go to bed as soon as possible………

Sun Mi: Don’t worry………I will………

Hyun Chul: You better sleep before I get home!!

Sun Mi: ………all right Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Yes, Hyun Chul…………

Hyun Chul: ………I eagerly miss you………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: (As he closes his eyes………Hyun Chul silently feels Sun Mi)

(At that time Hyun Chul hears the sound of his friends’ voices………a long time passes………Hyun Chul left to go to the restroom and he still hasn’t returned from the restroom………so Hyun Chul friends step forward to search for him)

Hyun Chul: Oh boy!!! I have to go………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: You better hurry up and sleep………I’m going to hang up the phone………(Hyun Chul flips his cell phone shut………then he puts the phone into his pocket)

(In between thick cigarette smoke………is the sound of Hyun Chul’s friends grumbling sullen words about Hyun Chul’s disappearance………spins around in Hyun Chul’s ears………but despite their grumbling in the bottom of Hyun Chul’s heart………only Sun Mi’s face clearly appears………)

(After that matter………Hyun Chul continues to disappear from this place………and then Hyun Chul calls Sun Mi………every time Hyun Chul calls Sun Mi………Sun Mi is still awake………Hyun Chul blames Sun Mi for not sleeping………but deep in his heart Hyun Chul desires that Sun Mi should stay awake and wait for him………this matter in Hyun Chul’s heart becomes more fervent as he desires to transmit his feelings to Sun Mi’s heart………soon approaching will be their first and longest separation from each other………this matter is beyond Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s heart capacity………)

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

(It is very late in the night………time proceeds toward daybreak………Hyun Chul barely keeps his staggering body under control………then Hyun Chul enters his room………the bright light is left on………on top of the bed………in front of Hyun Chul’s eyes Sun Mi appears sleeping with her body crouched down………)

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………(As Hyun Chul throws his briefcase carelessly down………he proceeds toward Sun Mi………his body doesn’t listen to what he wants………but Hyun Chul in his own way lays himself down gently next to Sun Mi………then Hyun Chul tries to move his face very close to Sun Mi)………Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: ………I guess I really did come home very late………I am sorry Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: ………(Sun Mi slowly opens her eyes)

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: ………I smell too much like alcohol??

Sun Mi: ………Are you alright………do you have a headache………

Hyun Chul: just a little………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi places her hand along Hyun Chul’s forehead)

Hyun Chul: ………(He grasps Sun Mi’s hand and then places her hand firmly onto his chest) Why don’t you change your clothes and turn off the light………then you can comfortably sleep………what is this?………

Sun Mi: ………I am sorry………I didn’t listen to you………

Hyun Chul: You are too stubborn………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………change your clothes and take a shower………do you need a helping-hand………if you think it will be difficult to do by yourself………then I will help you………

Hyun Chul: Just a moment………just a moment Sun Mi………(Hyun Chul takes his arms towards the nape of Sun Mi’s neck and firmly embraces her) I missed you so much………I thought I would have a better time………what am I going to do………now… I don’t like………meeting with my friends………or drinking liquor………I just desire to be only with Jin Sun Mi………don’t you think this kind of behavior is some kind of sickness, isn’t it??

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: the whole time I was out today………only your face crossed my mind………and only your voice passed my ears………therefore you better take responsibility………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sin Mi………

Sun Mi: ………Yes, Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Why didn’t you answer me!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Well, every time I drink………I behave a little sentimental………therefore please understand me Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: Well, let me look at you, my darling Sun Mi………(as he moves his arms from Sun Mi’s neck………Hyun Chul draws nearer toward her………then Hyun Chul’s hazy eyes look one by one down as he gropes Sun Mi)………Hmm………your eyes look like large balls………your nose is………Hmm~~~~~~~~~ Oh boy that also looks very slender and good-looking………(then he touches Sun Mi’s lips) this one is………well………every time this one makes my heart become restless………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: ………Sun Mi, do you love me??…………How much do you love me??

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: You occasionally slip from my mind………but you………you only think about me occasionally, right Jin Sun Mi?? (He lightly twists his face) tell me the truth………how much do you love me and think about me………during the whole day………how much do you miss me………you turn your back on me then………do you forget entirely about me right Sun Mi ??

Sun Mi: ………(Her round delicate eyes become wet)

Hyun Chul: I don’t like!! I really don’t like you Jin Sun Mi!! (With a jerk he turns over on his side)

Sun Mi: ………(She gets up and squats down to take off Hyun Chul’s clothes)

Hyun Chul: (with all his strength Hyun Chul grasps Sun Mi’s arms and pulls her down………then he locks Sun Mi against his chest………he moves his body toward Sun Mi………Hyun Chul’s body gestures move down Sun Mi’s body………but within a moment Hyun Chul just gives up and crumbles down)

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: ………Sun Mi I am going to attend a business trip………you probably already know??

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: I guess I should practice this matter sometime before………while there is time………practice how to separate from each other………what should I do………if I miss you too much………I know I am going to miss you a lot………

Sun Mi: Huhhh (sobbing) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: In the old days someone said………there is nothing as cruel as leaving your wife behind during the newlywed time………I think those words are really the truth………

Sun Mi: UhhHuu (She just continues to sob)

Hyun Chul: (He slowly closes his eyes………then from his eyes drops one tear)
I will miss you a lot………extremely a lot………and I desire to yearn for you………

(Before Sun Mi is aware Hyun Chul becomes silent………Sun Mi tries hard to push down her gushing tears………then she takes off Hyun Chul’s clothes………and wipes Hyun Chul’s body clean with a wet towel………)

Sun Mi: ………Hyun Chul I am also………going to very much miss you………I will miss you a lot………

#AFTER A FEW DAYS, HYUN CHUL ATTENDS A BUSINESS TRIP

(Last night………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi firmly takes hold of each other’s hands………they are unable to speak any words to each other………Sun Mi only remembers that they barely slept as night turned to daybreak………in the morning………surrounded by family………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi are unable to properly say farewell………Sun Mi’s facial expression becomes absentminded………without focus Sun Mi gazes toward someplace………)

#CHAIRMAN YUN’S HOUSE, THE LIVING ROOM

Sun Mi: (she puts down a cup of tea on top of the coffee table………then she takes a seat) Mother!! Do you want a cup of tea?………

Mrs. Lee: Thank you Sun Mi………(she takes a good look at Sun Mi’s complexion)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi unconscious of Mrs. Lee’s actions………she quietly drinks her cup of tea)

Mrs. Lee: during this period of time………your face has become very worn out………

Sun Mi: Huh??

Mrs. Lee: Oh poor thing………I know you miss Hyun Chul………is there anything I can do to help with your feelings………

Sun Mi: (Her earlobes become red)

Mrs. Lee: You don’t need to be bashful………around this time I did the same as you………(she breathes out a light sigh) thinking back………during my newlywed time………it was like I continually waited………

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Mrs. Lee: Nevertheless present days are much more noble than past days………compared to all those days………at that time your father-in-law attended business trips month to month with no break in between………there was business trip after business trip………a mere child newlywed woman attending to her husband’s family home with only her husband to watch over………but he’s not hardly at home………so therefore you don’t know how much I cried through the long nights………without any reason, just heartbroken and sad………and also I became very anxious………and toward him I felt very heartless………I behaved like that those days………

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Mrs. Lee: after I became pregnant with Hyun Chul………time became even more harder………I even fell into a deep depression………

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Mrs. Lee: Sun Mi do you know?………why I was so pleased with your appearance at your work and your studies?………you’re not like me………you shouldn’t need to feel lonely without any plans and only wait for your husband to return from his business trip………I really do wish your life will become much more different than my lonely life during those years………Sun Mi if you can, you really should do everything together with Hyun Chul………

Sun Mi: Thank you Mother………I really appreciate it………I will keep your words in my mind always………and I will behave with enthusiasm as best I can………

Mrs. Lee: (She makes a pleased smile) during the last years………when your father-in-law traveled on official business trips………this big house would become empty like a lonesome mountain………now that I am together with you like this………it is very nice………there is no lonely feeling………

Sun Mi: (She softly smiles)

Mrs. Lee: Oh I almost forget!! I was looking over several places for you and Hyun Chul to live………this coming weekend let us go look at those houses………next week………you should begin attending school………so you will probably become more busy with all those matters………

Sun Mi: Thank you Mother………but Mother if you don’t mind………please select a nice place for me………I will take your choice………I’m going to unconditionally follow your instruction………

Mrs. Lee: The residence will be your living place………therefore that place must suit your taste………

Sun Mi: as yet I still don’t have a critical eye………therefore, Mother please do me this favor………

Mrs. Lee: My goodness!! My daughter-in-law knows………how to speak pretty words to me………No, No you’re not just my daughter-in-law………you’re my daughter………

Sun Mi: (She smiles brightly) Mother………tonight………I wish to sleep next to you in your bed………May I?? Mother, may I do that??

Mrs. Lee: Well truly, I thought about that matter………and if you didn’t mention those words before me………then as soon as possible I thought my behavior would turn sulky………

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

(Preparing for the reorganization of the planning department’s work………Sun Mi is very busy with her work………inside the office… every person is busy with their work everywhere ………during this kind of time everything slips from Sun Mi’s mind………Sun Mi appears like she is devoted to her work………)

(Sun Mi’s cell phone rings)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi answers unintentionally) Yes, Jin Sun Mi speaking………

Hyun Chul: Oh!! Ye~~~s Ma’m~~~~~~~~~You are~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Hyun Chul: (the sound of Hyun Chul’s characteristic voice fully transmits as tender, loving, playful, and eager) Jin Sun Mi Yaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (instantly Sun Mi’s eyes become teary)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi Yaa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: …………………………………

Hyun Chul: Hello? Hello??

Sun Mi: (in a hurry she gets up from her chair………then she quickly leaves her office)

# AN EMERGENCY EXIT

Sun Mi: (She wipes away at once………tears falling down her cheek………after that) Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Huh Aaa~~~~~~~~ Oh boy really………it would be very difficult to hear the sound of Jin Sun Mi’s voice at once………why did you respond that slowly………I thought my breathing would stop………of course when I roughly draw a picture of you………a little while ago you were in your office right?? That is why you moved from your office to the emergency exit to receive my phone call??

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Hyun Chul: And then………driblets of tears are flowing down your face, right??

Sun Mi: No………you have the wrong idea………I am not crying………

Hyun Chul: Really?? I thought you would gushingly cry because of me………well I think I will become regrettably heartbroken………

Sun Mi: (She peep at her wristwatch) Did you eat breakfast??

Hyun Chul: Mmm………I settled breakfast with a few pieces of sliced toast and a cup of milk………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!! Father, is he also be in good health and doing well………

Hyun Chul: Mmm Yes………anyhow Sun Mi at night you slept by yourself………weren’t you afraid………you were?? Right??

Sun Mi: Huh?? No………not really………

Hyun Chul: What did you say!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: (She just smiles) How about you?? Did you sleep well??

Hyun Chul: Well about me?? How should I tell you…………Uck!!!!!!!! Euk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!!!!! What’s wrong!!!!!!!!!!! Is something the matter with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: Every night………I bring these kinds of sounds out of myself………do you know why (Hyun Chul talks in a whisper)………because I eagerly miss you………

Sun Mi: (her face become ruby red in color)………thank you for the flowers you sent………

Hyun Chul: Huhhh~~~~~~~~~the first day………I should have firmly taken hold of your hand………before leaving on this business trip………that is the way I should have said bye to you………anyhow how is the atmosphere in the lecture room??

Sun Mi: It’s very good………as a matter of fact maybe because of night school………from the minor enterprise owner………to employees just like me………truly various types of people gather together in the school………there are many distinguished people………it is not only about working on my studies………I think from these people I’m going to learn lots of subjects………

Hyun Chul: When you attend school…did you make sure to wear your wedding ring………you don’t know where………some empty headed person might entertain odd thoughts toward you………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (he makes a smile) I guess I talked enough………Sun Mi I think I have to hang up the phone………also today I should force myself to tend to business matters………these days I’m so busy that I don’t have any space or time to think about you………maybe this way will turn out all right to help me………if not………it will be very difficult for me to stop myself from missing you………

Sun Mi: ……………………………

Hyun Chul: Don’t try to work too late………and be careful going to school………make sure you eat………and you shouldn’t cry so much at night………because you miss me right………right Sun Mi!!!!!!!!

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Hyun Chul: Why don’t you answer me………

Sun Mi: Huooo (she sobs)~~~~~~~~~~~(Sun Mi covers her mouth to muffle the sound of her crying)

Hyun Chul: ………Sun Mi you are so silly………please don’t cry………Sun Mi………Jin Sun Mi………(but still remaining unchanged, Hyun Chul can hear the faint sound of Sun Mi crying) if you constantly cry like this………then I am going to put away every business matter………and leave this place right now and come home………

Sun Mi: ………Hyun Chul come home soon………please come home as soon as possible Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul:………all right Sun Mi……….I will come home as soon as possible………be patient for a little more time Sun Mi………Hmm??

# HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM, AT NIGHT

(As Sun Mi lays down studying her book………the night advances forward………so far Sun Mi can’t sleep………Sun Mi moves near the window………then her delicate eyes look toward the outside of the window………)

(“You shouldn’t cry so much at night………because you miss me”)

(Before Sun Mi is aware tears begin to flow down to her cheeks………on the foggy window………she slowly writes Hyun Chul’s name………)

(“Yun Hyun Chul………hurry and come home………please hurry”)

 

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 20 part 5

 


#THE DAY HYUN CHUL RETURNS HOME FROM THE BUSINESS TRIP (THE KITCHEN)

(Sun Mi gives a helping hand to the house keeping auntie………Sun Mi tries to move here and there………and this way and that way………but Sun Mi’s mind is already in a different place………Sun Mi’s mind is full of thought………now here………she waits a little more………for the time when Hyun Chul should return from his business trip………Sun Mi’s hand doesn’t listen to what she needs it to do………she can’t properly do any kitchen work………)

(Different from any other normal day………Sun Mi frequently drops the plate that she is holding………she also poured all the seasoning mix that she had in her hand all over the vegetables………the house keeping auntie is a good person………she already sees through Sun Mi’s mind and tries to understand Sun Mi’s behavior………without stopping what Sun Mi is doing, the house keeping auntie just makes a faint smile………and then she follows behind Sun Mi to take care of Sun Mi’s mess………)

(Inside Sun Mi’s heart………flowing with a clicking sound………time goes by very slow………)

(Finally the sound of a doorbell ringing………and sounds that Chairman Yun and Hyun Chul are entering the house………these sounds reach Sun Mi’s ears)

Housekeeping Auntie: Mrs. Sun Mi………Don’t you think you should go out and greet them………

Sun Mi: Huh??

Housekeeping Auntie: (she makes a bright smile………then she makes a sign with her eyes toward the outside of the kitchen)

#THE LIVING ROOM

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul fixedly looks at Sun Mi’s appearance as she comes out of the kitchen)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s gaze) Father how are you………did you have a nice business trip………

Chairman Yun: Yes………how are you………did you have a nice time too??

Sun Mi: Yes Father………

Mrs. Lee: (She takes a good look one by one at Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………then quickly says…) Well, you two should be very tired coming home from a long business journey………why don’t you go to the bathroom and take a quick shower and then rest………Hyun Chul you too………in a moment dinner will be prepared………(Mrs. Lee pushes Chairman Yun………and goes into their room)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi just stands with her head down)

Hyun Chul: (for a little while Hyun Chul brings himself to stand in front of Sun Mi………then he just passes by Sun Mi as is………then he goes up the stairs to the second floor)

Sun Mi: (She just quietly follows Hyun Chul)

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S ROOM

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks around the inside of the room)

Sun Mi:………………………………………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………(he turns around toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She meets Hyun Chul’s eyes………Sun Mi quickly tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes………without intention her face unavoidably turns red)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi………come here please………

Sun Mi: (without reason she becomes teary-eyed)

Hyun Chul: here we go again………you don’t come to me………(he makes a beaming smile………then he moves toward Sun Mi………he places both of his hands to Sun Mi’s cheeks………he softly lifts up Sun Mi’s face………then he gazes piercingly into Sun Mi’s eyes)

Sun Mi: (inside her tear clouded eyes………like a dream………Sun Mi tries to put Hyun Chul face into her heart………)

Hyun Chul: Well, let me look at you………during my business trip………did you………you became better looking………you are more pretty………Hmm? (He gently runs against Sun Mi’s lips………)

Sun Mi: Huhuu~~~~~~~~~~(Sun Mi just sobs)

Hyun Chul: Oh boy Jin Sun Mi………what is this………you are not glad to see me………you haven’t even looked at me once………and you just stood there like stone………don’t you think………even without my words………you should have run straight toward me and embraced me………shouldn’t you………Hmm? (Hyun Chul gently rides his lips down Sun Mi’s neck line) I am………don’t you know I am very disappointed in your behavior………how are you going to comfort me………Huh?

Sun Mi: (She just tightly closes her eyes)

Hyun Chul: (little by little Hyun Chul becomes more passionate………Hyun Chul easily holds Sun Mi up in his arms………then he carries Sun Mi to the bed………he lies Sun Mi down on top of the bed………during those days Hyun Chul’s endless thirst for love for Sun Mi………now Hyun Chul pours out onto Sun Mi as they passionately kiss………)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi keeps restraining Hyun Chul’s helping hand from disentangling Sun Mi’s clothes) Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: No don’t!! Don’t stop me!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul I followed after you up the stairs………stopping in the middle of preparing dinner………

Hyun Chul: I am not hungry………later………later please Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul Oh boy………Huh~~~~~~~~~ (Hyun Chul lays down on his back next to Sun Mi’s side) I am mad at you Jin Sun Mi………you don’t even care about my feelings………

Sun Mi: (She turns her head around toward Hyun Chul and looks at him………then she climbs on top of Hyun Chul’s chest………then she lays her lips on top of Hyun Chul’s lips………she uses all her sincerity and passionate love toward Hyun Chul………then pours strong and deep kisses on Hyun Chul………then Sun Mi gets up from the bed and like running away………she hurries to get out of their room………)

Hyun Chul: (a faint smile spreads all over his face) oh my goodness………I have finally returned from the business trip………finally at home………at the side of my Jin Sun Mi………..

#THE FRONT OF A UNIVERSITY “Y”

(Sun Mi just comes out from the university’s front gate………Sun Mi’s facial expression has bright smile………Sun Mi runs toward Hyun Chul’s car………)

Hyun Chul: (just as Sun Mi sits down in the passenger seat, Hyun Chul right away gives Sun Mi’s a deep passionate kiss………then he helps Sun Mi put on her seatbelt) Student Jin Sun Mi………how are you………how was school today………was everything all right………

Sun Mi: you didn’t have to come pick me up………I know you should be very tired from work………why didn’t you go straight home………

Hyun Chul: I have a reason………if I should miss someone………I wouldn’t restrain myself and I would go straight to see them!! Also I should watch over my woman myself!! Sun Mi this motive………it’s my life’s motive………

Sun Mi: (She just smiles) let’s go………

Hyun Chul: Yes Ma’am………

(Hyun Chul begins to drive his car)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………during the coming holiday of Ch Usok (day of the harvest moon)………you have to attend work at the broadcasting station, right Hyun Chul??

Hyun Chul: Umm………in the long run I think I have to………I guess I have to think in my mind comfortably and relaxed………I should examine………our Moon Young Group’s treasured employee’s creative planning ideas during those days………beginning with Jin Sun Mi’s creative planning idea………

Sun Mi: I am bashful about that matter………when I think about you looking over my planning idea………

Hyun Chul: I examine those planning idea documents as your boss………not as your husband………therefore you shouldn’t be bashful………also you shouldn’t expect special treatment………

Sun Mi: Yes sir………Mr. Director………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul turns around and looks at Sun Mi for a moment………then he makes a beaming smile………he turns to steadily gaze toward the front) every year as the Ch Usok (day of the harvest moon) comes near………every female begins to grind their teeth with vexation like they have similar symptoms to depression………what should we do Jin Sun Mi………during that time………probably our house will also become very busy with the preparation for this and that………because of that matter you will probably become very formidable………

Sun Mi: (She just makes a faint smile)

Hyun Chul: maybe I should make an excuse that we are very busy with broadcasting station work………then you can just go along with me and attend to your work Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: Oh my goodness………this kind of behavior from some people’s children………causes old to say such words like………there is sometimes nothing useful in raising children………

Hyun Chul: Huh??

Sun Mi: if mother hears about what you just said………I wonder how much mother would be disappointed in your words………

Hyun Chul: Oh she will?? But I’m really concerned about you………you’re so thin………that is why………

Sun Mi: Huh?? The shape of my body is not particularly thin………

Hyun Chul: (looks with a sidelong glance at Sun Mi) No I don’t agree………you need to gain a little more weight………

Sun Mi: Oh I do………(She looks down at her own body)

Hyun Chul: Yes you are………that is way when I embrace you………I feel like your whole body fills my arms………

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!………(Her face become flushed and red………then she looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

#THE DAY BEFORE CH USOK (DAY OF THE HARVEST MOON), THE LIVING ROOM

(Hyun Chul stops from attending his office………without reason he walks up and down the stairs between the first and second floors………Hyun Chul thought there is by all mean Sun Mi work very hard on by herself………this matter of Hyun Chul thought cause Sun Mi immeasurably hangs over Hyun Chul’s feelings………Hyun Chul takes a good look inside the kitchen at what ever everyone is doing………in the living room at the sofa………Min Chul and Chairman Yun are in the middle of busily playing a game of Paduk (Go)………)

Min Chul: I thought you were surely going to attend to your office………why didn’t you?

Hyun Chul: Huh?? Yes I should………

Min Chul: Then go quickly………don’t disturb my mind by constantly walking up and down the stairs restlessly………

Hyun Chul: Well, not now………I don’t have to attend the office yet………I still have time………

Chairman Yun: Well Hyun Chul………the business matters are not that urgent………why don’t you take today off and rest………

Hyun Chul: No father………I should attend to my office………

Mrs. Lee: (She just comes out from kitchen) Min Chul!!!!! We are going to shape dough for Songpyon (half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans)………you should boast your skills in front of your sister-in-law………

Min Chul: Oh I should?………Father………I think I have to postpone our game of Paduk for a little while………I have to show my skills in front of my sister-in-law………even if there were ten females my skills at shaping dough for Songpyon would be enviable………

Chairman Yun: Ha ha ha………you would………then go ahead………

(Mrs. Lee and Min Chul go into the kitchen………)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul without the purpose of taking a meal………has never even once stepped inside the kitchen………Hyun Chul takes long steps toward the kitchen)

#THE KITCHEN

Min Chul: (with a triumphant spirit Min Chul shapes dough for one Songpyon………then he shows it to Sun Mi) what do you think of my skills sister-in-law………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi look magically at Min Chul with a smile) Well………it is really very pretty younger brother………now I know why mother said admiring words about you………

Mrs. Lee: it is………since Min Chul was very young………he was very different from Hyun Chul………he has a tender-hearted behavior………if I had to shape dough or make something………he would come next to me and give me a helping-hand………and then there was one day………I showed Min Chul how to shape dough for Songpyon in quite a pretty way………that day we all became very shocked………from that day………when the time comes to preparing and shaping the dough for Songpyon for Ch suok (the harvest moon day)………then we always call for Min Chul………ask him for a helping-hand………when he went abroad to study………you don’t know how much………I really missed and wanted him for this matter………

Min Chul: (Min Chul looks down at both of his hands) oh boy, even when I think about it myself………it’s hard to believe the skill of my hands………

(Hyun Chul’s sternly looks at Min Chul………from all these praising words from people about Min Chul………no one pays attention to Hyun Chul as if they don’t even realize he is inside the kitchen………these people are entirely unconcerned with Hyun Chul………Hyun Chul tries to inform all these people of himself………he clears his throat with a big cough………)

Hyun Chul: Ahem!!!!!!!

Mrs. Lee: (She looks back at Hyun Chul) Huh?? What on earth are you doing here?? You should be attending to your office………what are you still doing here like this………

Sun Mi: Is there anything you need Hyun Chul??

Hyun Chul: No………(Min Chul sits down next to Sun Mi’s side………Hyun Chul taps Min Chul’s shoulder) you move over one more seat………

Min Chul: Huh??

Hyun Chul: (he shows Min Chul to move over with his head) quickly!!!!

Min Chul: (with a perplexed behavior he moves over to the next seat)

Hyun Chul: (everyone looks at Hyun Chul………Hyun Chul tries to avoid this way and that way as these people look at Hyun Chul from the corner of their eyes in confusion………Hyun Chul occupies the empty place………)

 

 

Lovely You Chapter 20 Part 6

 

Mrs. Lee: Hyun Chul………Now………what is the meaning of all this? Surely you are not………trying to give us a helping-hand………right Hyun Chul?………when you went abroad to study………I was thankful that you returned home alive without starving yourself to death………you never liked to prepare any food with your own hands………you’ve never liked doing that matter………so you surely don’t mean ………You want to give us a helping-hand, right Hyun Chul??

Hyun Chul: Hmm!!!! Hmm!!

Mrs. Lee: you see we are very busy………so we don’t have the strength and time to chat with you………so you will be bored………you get out of the kitchen and keep your father company, all right Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: (toward Sun Mi) how should I shape the dough for Songpyon (half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans)?? Show me Sun Mi??

(Everyone looks at one another with shocked and surprised eyes)

Hyun Chul: What is the matter with everyone………during those years I just didn’t want to try to do this kind of work………but if I try I will be a very good helping hand at this kind of work………(toward Sun Mi) Sun Mi please show me how to shape the dough for Songpyon (half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans)??

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………shouldn’t you attend your office………

Hyun Chul: Not yet………I have plenty of time………Sun Mi quickly………show me how to do this………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul……………………….

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul mercilessly tears up the dough………then fumbles with the dough in his hands) is it this way??

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi becomes bewildered and behaves like she is at quite a loss………she pays attention to the surrounding people………beyond her capacity………she tries to teach her skill of shaping dough for Songpyon to Hyun Chul)

Mrs. Lee: (in a low voice) Min Chul………do you know………what is wrong with your brother??

Min Chul: Well, mother you should guess………think about it………it’s all about my sister-in-law………he is absolutely behaving like this because of his wife………I guess he makes a move toward his wife………so that he can be a little closer to and spend more time with his wife………and maybe also he wishes he can be a helping hand to his wife………either way………indeed………on no account should it be looked at as genuine………

Mrs. Lee: Yes, I think so too…he looks that way………oh boy that little rascal………it is very easy to see through his behavior to the inside of his heart………right Min Chul??

(After a little while………the place in front of Hyun Chul becomes a mess………he lets bean flower drop everywhere………here and there are some spots with left over dough………even his round cheeks are a mess with bean flower and dough………it doesn’t matter how Sun Mi cautiously and carefully coaches Hyun Chul………disregarding the matter………Hyun Chul shapes the dough for Songpyon in doubtful and obscure images………making one after another………some of the Songpyon burst open from side of the dough………)

Hyun Chul: Oh boy………this is really strange………why is this dough not sticking tightly………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels unnecessarily regrettable toward the surrounding people)

Mrs. Lee: (there is no way Mrs. Lee can watch anymore) Hyun Chul………that is enough………this is extremely admirable………get up at once and shake the Songpyon dough from your hands………

Hyun Chul: No mother………not yet………I can’t just get up………unless I have successfully made one Songpyon (half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans)………

Mrs. Lee: oh my goodness………how long do we have to wait to see that happen………

Hyun Chul: mother………please, if you don’t mind just wait a little while………(Hyun Chul tries to press down the dough firmly in both of his hands………then he opens the palm of his hand to show everyone) Jajaaan~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Here and there is laughing and giggling sounds)

Mrs. Lee: Yun Hyun Chul!!!! You better get out of here at once!! Please go!!………This is not a helping hand………you are making my new daughter have a more hard time………oh my goodness………oh dear, all that valuable bean flour………what is the matter with you………what is this………also did you shape the dough for Songpyon (half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans) with your face………you should use your hands to shape the dough for Songpyon………what is this………you are just like a little child………here and there, you face is stained all over………

Min Chul: (The Songpyon dough that Hyun Chul just made…Min Chul pushed away to one side) oh boy………let me tell you………even if I used one hand to shape dough for Songpyon… it is better than this………

Hyun Chul: What did you just say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Min Chul: on top of that how much did you play with that dough………look at that Songpyon………with dirty stains all over from your hands………

Hyun Chul: Hey!!!!!!!!

Min Chul: Auntie………please don’t mix everyone else’s Songpyon with my big brother’s dough for Songpyon………please Auntie, all right??………I’m kind of scared and worried about someone unintentionally picking up those things to eat………

Hyun Chul: Who asked you to eat them!! I don’t want to give them to you!!

Min Chul: even if you tried to give them to me… I wouldn’t want to eat them!!

Mrs. Lee: oh my goodness………even myself………I would be scared and worried that I would mistakenly pick on up and eat them………

Hyun Chul: Mother!!!!! (Hyun Chul looks reserved and silent) Sun Mi what about you??………What do you think ??

Sun Mi: (She just smiles and puts her head down)

Hyun Chul: Tell me………Sun Mi what do you think??

Min Chul: Sister-in-law………please………you should tell big brother the truth………

Sun Mi: Well, I guess………I wouldn’t particularly like to eat that Songpyon………

Hyun Chul: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Once again here and there is the sound of giggling)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul jumps to his feet) all right I get it………whatever Songpyon (half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans) I made………I will eat all of it myself………is that good enough for everyone………are you all satisfied!! (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi with disappointing eyes)………especially………you Sun Mi… I mean it………(he walks out of the kitchen with a glum behavior)

Sun Mi: (She barely controls herself from laughing………then she looks at Hyun Chul’s appearance from behind)

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

(After what happened at home………Hyun Chul went straight to the office………the family as one team rebuked him strongly………among all of them, Hyun Chul felt Sun Mi was the most unkind and heartless………there heaped on his desk are all the employee’s planning ideas………among these planning ideas, Hyun Chul picks up Sun Mi’s document………then Hyun Chul feeling mad………with the tip of his finger………he obscurely taps Sun Mi’s document with a lightly twist facial expression)

(Hyun Chul’s eyes………read through Sun Mi’s planning idea document………in the beginning Hyun Chul’s facial expression is glum………then changes to a beaming smile………in less than a moment Hyun Chul becomes very serious………with sharp pointed eyes………he tries to thoroughly read down the document in every nook and corner………)

(Hyun Chul goes through Sun Mi’s planning idea to the last paper………for a moment Hyun Chul supports his forehead to the side with one hand………and then he looks like he is falling into deep thought………but shortly afterward Hyun Chul’s facial expression changes………a bright blooming smile goes past Hyun Chul’s mouth………and he behaves just like he is confronting Sun Mi………he taps at Sun Mi’s planning idea………he lays the document down to the side………)

(Before Hyun Chul is aware………outside the broadcasting station darkness draws near………Hyun Chul doesn’t have any spare time to think about tomorrow………Hyun Chul just forgot time passing by………like he is drowned in an ebb tide………in the middle of this vacant empty center of the city………there is no other finer space………for Hyun Chul to sink down into his own time………)

(There is low sound of knocking on Hyun Chul’s office door………Hyun Chul is totally unaware………)

Sun Mi: (She quietly pushes open Hyun Chul’s office door and enters Hyun Chul’s office………Hyun Chul appears devoted to his work………Sun Mi just watches over Hyun Chul with endless ardent eyes………)

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul must be very tired………Hyun Chul rubs the middle of his forehead………then he suddenly feels curious causing him to quickly lift up his head………It’s Sun Mi!!!!!!!!!!! He is excessively glad and delightful to see her………Hyun Chul smiles brightly as he gets up from his seat………but suddenly he recollects the matters from that morning………he quickly changes his facial expression………and he sits back down in his chair………then he gazes at Sun Mi with a glum look on his face)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi holds a dinner box in her hand………she lays the dinner box on top of Hyun Chul’s office table………then Sun Mi gazes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: What are you doing here??

Sun Mi: Do you know what time it is now?? Why don’t you finish simply looking at those documents and come home early from work………

Hyun Chul: Well, why should I………why should I go home early………at home………no one would be pleased to see me………

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: Why are you laughing at?!!!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul aren’t you hungry?? Probably………today there is no suitable place to take your meal………so I brought some food for you to eat………

Hyun Chul: (His eyes look toward a document) No, I don’t need it!! I don’t want to eat!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…………………………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul, I am very sorry about my behavior this morning………but you should know better than anyone else my true heart………

Hyun Chul: No I don’t know!!! I don’t know anything about your true heart!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul, don’t you know………I don’t want everyone in the family to easily see through to my true heart………so I answered deliberately like that………

Hyun Chul: Oh well, you think I should believe what you just say now………that matter is beyond my power………it is never going to happen………

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks with a sidelong glance at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Are you really not going to eat?? Hyun Chul?? Don’t you know………I felt very concerned about the matter………so here I am………in my own way, I watch over everyone’s intentions………and I barely slipped out of the house to bring your dinner………

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul I am still haven’t eaten dinner yet………it is now also my meal time too………I deliberately didn’t eat dinner at home…because I wanted to keep you company and eat a meal together with you………so I brought my meal with your meal together here………

Hyun Chul: What is wrong with you………you work very hard all day long………and you still haven’t eaten dinner yet!!

Sun Mi: So………now you know, therefore come here quickly………and eat this meal with me………please Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: ………(He behaves like he doesn’t have any choice but to get up from his chair………he gets up from his chair and walks near to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi takes a seat………then she spreads open the dinner box that she brought with her)

Hyun Chul: Huh??………Oh boy, this meal is………(Hyun Chul takes a seat)

Sun Mi: That is right………This Songpyon (a half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans) was… as a matter of fact………made by you………

Hyun Chul: Oh Boy………really………what awful people they are………whatever Songpyon I made is all packed in this dinner box………so they think I should eat this Songpyon all by myself………

Sun Mi: No Hyun Chul………I deliberately picked these Songpyon myself………for only you and I to eat together………

Hyun Chul: Really??

Sun Mi: Of course………as a matter of fact………I know better how much devotion you put into making these Songpyon………don’t you think………they are too precious and valuable to share with other people………from the beginning………I thought I would eat only these Songpyon you made………

Hyun Chul: (he stealthily smiles)

Sun Mi: They look delicious, right………(she picks up one Songpyon with her chopsticks………then moves the Songpyon near Hyun Chul’s mouth)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul bites half the Songpyon with his mouth) Oh Boy, this ugly-looking Songpyon tastes so delicious………right, Sun Mi………this matter has caused them not to know how much this ugly-looking Songpyon taste so good………

Sun Mi: (With a jerk Sun Mi puts the leftover Songpyon in her mouth) Mmmmm~~~~~ it really tastes delicious………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul picks up one Songpyon with his chopsticks………then he moves the Songpyon toward Sun Mi’s mouth) Sun Mi if you don’t mind open your mouth………Ahhhh~~~~~

(In a moment Hyun Chul becomes soft and forgets all that has happened………the night before Ch Usok(the harvest moon day) together with Hyun Chul………Sun Mi enjoys sharing this dinner with Hyun Chul………it doesn’t matter that this ugly Songpyon looks like pancakes………this ugly Songpyon put together by Hyun Chul’s unskillful helping hand………attached to this matter………the atmosphere becomes more affectionately manageable………now at this moment………there is no other food that would taste as delicious for the two of them………)

Hyun Chul: AhhhHahhh~~~~~~~ this meal tastes really good………(he gets up from his seat) I am going to get some coffee………

Sun Mi: me too~~~~~~~~~~~ I am~~~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: American style right?? (he winks at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (She makes a bright smile………then she nods her head and watches as Hyun Chul leaves his office………then Sun Mi moves near the window………she unintentionally looks down into the silent and quiet center of the city………)

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul walks near Sun Mi’s back………then he as if embracing Sun Mi passes over a cup of coffee to Sun Mi………and then he take Sun Mi by the waist in his arms………)

Sun Mi: (She leans comfortable against Hyun Chul’s chest………then she enjoys the taste of the coffee)

Hyun Chul: tomorrow………after we come back from visiting our ancestor’s graves………let us go meet with your father Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Yes, thank Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: after Ch Usok(the harvest moon day) passes………there will be only the two of us living in our own place………Ahhh~~~~~~~~~I am already looking forward to it………there will not be so much of Min Chul’s interference………(Hyun Chul rolls his eyes playfully) Jin Sun Mi………I tell you………you should be prepared to make sure of some matters in your mind………

Sun Mi: (her face turns lightly bashful)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks like he is pleased and delighted………even with just imagination………he grins all over his face)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………I probably won’t be able to do a good wife’s role for you………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………I tell you about me………I do like a devoted wife who everyday prepares for me a warm meal and a clean shirt………but I………Yun Hyun Chul………really wish to have wife………with expressive tiny eyes and body movements………already we know how to widely look over each other’s hearts and minds………that is the kind of wife I wish for and want and already have………you just existing at my side………causes me to already feel like I have acquired thousands of troops and horses………someone who gives me a rich and productive mind and feels for myself always………that someone is named Jin Sun Mi………I love you very much………I just like and love Jin Sun Mi without any reason………

Sun Mi: …………………………………

Hyun Chul: when it comes to the matter of work………no one can compete with the endurance and passion like you………of this woman Jin Sun Mi that I love………do you understand………

Sun Mi: ………Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Well, promise me one thing Sun Mi………you can let me go hungry every breakfast………whatever you want to do that is good enough………but there is one thing you better make sure to promise to do for me………

Sun Mi: What is it you wish??

Hyun Chul: At any time………that I desire to be with you and want you………without any hesitation you should come to me unconditionally, all right Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: that matter………absolutely without any concession………do you understand Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: (even her ears turn red)

Hyun Chul: Haaah~~~~~~~~~ by the way why do I feel so sleepy like this………it must be because I have a very full stomach………maybe that is why………

Sun Mi: (She turns toward Hyun Chul) I think you must be very weary and tired………as soon as you returned from your business trip………you took on night duty for a few days………and today you attend your office to work like this………

Hyun Chul: (He makes a smile) Well I guess………if I think about it………lately my body has become a little dull, painful and stiff………

Sun Mi: (She looks annoyed by Hyun Chul’s matter………she grimaces at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul lightly pinches Sun Mi’s cheek) Don’t worry………it’s all right………I am fine………I am safe and sound………to battle the front line of work and then love………there is nothing I can’t handle!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………I wish I could help you as soon as possible with this matter of work in a proper way………somehow I feel like I just can’t help you with anything about work………these feelings cause me to feel very distressed………

Hyun Chul: What you just mentioned………what do you mean by that………let me tell you Sun Mi………now with who’s help and support has made me become lively like this………Umm~~~~~~~~and there is………I thought I was not going to mention this to you for the time being………but I guess I will mention it to you now…your planning idea document on record was very good………well perhaps your planning idea will have a high possibility of being the proposal that will be selected………

Sun Mi: (takes away Hyun Chul’s coffee cup from his hand………and then together along with her coffee cup………Sun Mi lays the cups side by side down on top of Hyun Chul’s desk) Hyun Chul, come here please………(she takes hold of Hyun Chul’s hand and leads him toward the sofa………Sun Mi sits together along with Hyun Chul) in the old days………someone used this method on me………(Sun Mi leads Hyun Chul’s head………and then makes Hyun Chul lie his head on top of her lap) just ten minutes………for ten minutes you can close your eyes, right Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: (he makes a beaming smile………then places his body in Sun Mi’s charge)

Sun Mi: Don’t think about anything……….just take a ten minute nap, all right Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Well, by the way Sun Mi………I have one problem………I constantly think about different matters of thought in my mind………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul please don’t play during this matter………you should just take a nap…

Hyun Chul: I am not playing………it’s true………a little while ago I was very sleepy………(Hyun Chul pulls around Sun Mi’s waist………then he moves toward Sun Mi’s bosom) now I am really awake………(Sun Mi’s soft bosom………Hyun Chul rubs his cheek with satisfaction against Sun Mi’s bosom) Ahhhh~~~~~~~ really nice………this is really nice………this is all I want………

Sun Mi:Shhhhhhh!!

Hyun Chul: All right I get it………(he drives his nose into Sun Mi) exactly ten minutes………if I don’t get up after ten minute………you do know………how to wake me up………use that method, all right??

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………ending one hard day………lean against each other’s bodies………in this sweet resting place)

(There Hyun Chul and Sun Mi close their eyes………inside Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s heart they are together………outside the broadcasting station the brightly shining moon already rises………)

 

 

“Lovely You” Final Chapter Part 1

 

 (Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s nesting place…a villa…a result after measuring and inquiring into this place and that place………the final decision based on Mrs. Lee…the place is not that far away from Hyun Chul’s parent’s house………but the distance is a little more close to the broadcasting station…the place they work…today is the exact day………that Hyun Chul and Sun Mi begin in their new nesting place………)

(Before Hyun Chul and Sun Mi moved into this place………inside Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s villa………someone has already arranged and put all the things in order neatly and cleanly………but during the past times Hyun Chul and Sun Mi eagerly looked forward to…having their own place for alone time and space…just the two of them………the last helping hand from themselves…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi reach out all over the inside of their nesting place………in the middle of busily moving with their own helping hands………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s eyes meet for a while………from their eyes anyone can see…nothing else but their delightful joy and excitement………)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul lies down on his back on the bed) Ahhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (She turns to look back at Hyun Chul with a beaming smile………then she arranges the rest of the stuff in a drawer………)

Hyun Chul: You’re not tired and weary?? Why don’t you stop your work and rest a little??

Sun Mi: I will be finished in a moment………for the most part I’m already done………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul turns over on his side toward Sun Mi) Sun Mi Aaaa~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: Mmmm Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: Yes Hyun Chul!!

Hyun Chul: Oh boy!! You don’t even look at me………

Sun Mi: ………………………(with a slap she closes the drawer) Oh my goodness, I am finally finished!!!!! (She turns to look back at Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul…what did you just say………

Hyun Chul: Do you like it here??

Sun Mi: Umm, let me think~~~~~~~~(she nods her head) yes………

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi come here please………(with a crack Hyun Chul hits his side of the bed)

Sun Mi: (she walks toward Hyun Chul………and sits on the edge of the bed)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul with a jerk grabs Sun Mi’s arm………and makes Sun Mi lie down on the bed………then like an attack Hyun Chul with all his might holds Sun Mi down with his chest………and he fixedly looks down on Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi fumbles with Hyun Chul’s collar)

Hyun Chul: I feel like I’m exposing myself once again on the first night of our honeymoon………I am becoming so excited that I am trembling and feel like I can’t even breathe………

Sun Mi: (her face becomes red)

Hyun Chul: In this wonderful and excellent space………there is only you and me………just the two of us………(he traces Sun Mi’s lip line with his finger………Hyun Chul slowly draws a circle) there is no one to get in our way………and also there should be no one coming to visit tonight………therefore, tonight I am going to do whatever I want do………

Sun Mi: (she turns her head around bashfully)

Hyun Chul: (the expression of Hyun Chul’s eyes become ill-natured) Jin Sun Mi…you better be sure to prepare yourself………(he obliquely searches for Sun Mi’s lips………then he straightens himself………the expression of Sun Mi’s eyes look trembling………Hyun Chul gently moves toward Sun Mi’s trembling lips………)

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul begins to go through deeply between Sun Mi’s bosom………then Sun Mi suddenly speaks………) Hyun Chul………I’m hungry………

Hyun Chul: I am not hungry!!

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul today is our first night in our own place with just the two of us………(she is conscious of Hyun Chul’s hand trying to open her blouse to touch her body) there will be no sumptuous meal………but the two of us should have some kind of nice dinner…so we can enjoy a meal on the first night in our own place………

Hyun Chul: Huh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Hyun Chul buries his face deeply between Sun Mi’s beautiful bosom………then a moment later he suddenly leaps up to his feet………and drags Sun Mi by the arm to make her sit up) all right………there will still be plenty of time for me………(he tries to fix the front of Sun Mi’s opened blouse…)

Sun Mi: What kind of meal would you like have for dinner??

Hyun Chul: Umm~~~~~~~~~~~ whatever…anything you wish to prepare………it doesn’t matter what kind of meal you prepare………as long as you prepare it for me…I will like anything………

Sun Mi: Don’t mention words like that…and tell me what you would like me to prepare for your dinner………maybe in the future………(she lightly bites her lips) I probably will not prepare your meals for many days…probably causing you to go hungry for many days………(she smiles) I just merely thought that if I can…I would like to at least today…prepare a proper meal for you………

Hyun Chul: I am telling the truth………really prepare whatever meal you want…as long as your helping hand touches the meal………whatever it is…I will be okay with any kind of meal you prepare………anyhow…Sun Mi…what do you think………shouldn’t we prepare our meal together………how about it………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…I thought………you didn’t like kitchen work at all………

Hyun Chul: Well that is how I behaved before………but from now on…my behavior is not going to be like that any more………for the time being…if I am not mistaken…I thought in the future…if you are not going to prepare a proper meal for me………I don’t have a choice…if I want to survive…don’t you think so Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi with a regrettable look on her face grimaces at Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Oh no Sun Mi………I didn’t mean that………think about it………we both go to work together………and you work on your studies………therefore what I mean…I have to share the household chores with you………so…I………can truly…receive much love from my wife…what I mean really is that I should like to be your desirous lovely husband………

Sun Mi: (she smiles at Hyun Chul…to show her appreciation)

Hyun Chul: Well anyhow…tonight we should………(the expression of Hyun Chul’s eyes become playful) prepare dinner as soon as possible…so we can eat our meal quickly………and then we can quickly~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (suddenly Sun Mi’s facial expression becomes red………she tries to hurry up………)

Hyun Chul: (with a beaming smile Hyun Chul gets up and follows after Sun Mi) lets go!! To the kitchen!! (Hyun Chul snatches Sun Mi’s hand and leads her out of their room)

#A FEW DAYS LATER, IN THE MORNING

(Like any other young married couple………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi appear like any other ordinary time trying to get ready to attend their office………they eat their breakfast approximately………and then make haste to slip into their clothes………then they step out of their villa carrying their briefcases and notebooks………)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi proceeds ahead of Hyun Chul………Hyun Chul chases after Sun Mi) Jin Sun Mi!!!! Kiss, kiss, kiss~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: (She turns her head around toward Hyun Chul…then moves her lips to kiss Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Umm~~~~~~~~~~~~(It’s a short kiss…but they transmit a passionate kiss toward each other………then Hyun Chul looks at his wrist watch) Oh boy!! I am going to be late!!!

Sun Mi: We should run?? To the parking lot………how about it………

Hyun Chul: Well it should be race!!! (Hyun Chul quickly runs toward the parking lot)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul you foul!! This is a foul play!! Let’s run at the same time together!!

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

(Today’s meeting was longer than any other ordinary day………after finishing the marathon-like meeting………all of the planning department employees become exhausted………one by one the employees sink down into their chairs………and then begin to sink down into their business matters…some people answer telephone calls while others try to call people on the outside about business matters………)

Sun Mi: (she receives a cell phone call………then she makes a bright smile) Yes Sir…may I help you Mr. Director………

Hyun Chul: How did you know it was me? Ahaa~~ you must have my telephone number marked down in your cell phone………

Sun Mi: No………I just knew this phone call was from you………

Hyun Chul: How?? Is there a special sound to my phone call??

Sun Mi: Umm~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hyun Chul: Umm what??

Sun Mi: Yes Hyun Chul I think so………

Hyun Chul: (He smiles with a nice feeling) are you busy now??

Sun Mi: A moment ago we just finished a meeting…every one has become exhausted because of this meeting………but now…I am not particularly busy with anything………

Hyun Chul: Oh you don’t…then………if you don’t mind can you come down to the parking lot………

Sun Mi: Right now?? Why do I have to go down to the parking lot??

Hyun Chul: You will know why after you come down to the parking lot………come down to the parking lot within 5 minutes…all right………Hmm~~~~~~~~who will come down to the parking lot first…let’s make a bet on this…how about it?? The loser…without reservation must concede to the winning person’s wish………how about it Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: Oh my goodness………every day you make a foul play to beat me and………you always request this and that………and unreasonably demand things from me………and now you ask again to bet on this…I was already fooled two times………I am not going to be fooled a third time………

Hyun Chul: This time………even if I wanted to cheat…there is no way I can play a foul game………because you and I………are both inside our own offices………if I calculate the staircases………I am the one in much more unfavorable circumstances………don’t you think Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: (She leap to her feet from her seat………then walks toward the office door) By the way…why suddenly………do you call me to the parking lot…is there something the matter at the parking lot??

Hyun Chul: It wouldn’t be fun if I told you ahead of time………confirm that you are going to come down to the parking lot personally………

Sun Mi: All right Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: We are going to make a bet on this, right………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi just steps out of her office door) All right………this time I am very confident that I am not going to lose against you………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi…by some possibility………did you use some kind of foul play?? Like already stepping out from the planning department office………and standing in front of the elevator………you shouldn’t use that kind of method?? Right??

Sun Mi: (as she stands at the front of the elevator………however somehow she begins to feel a little guilty) Huh?? N~~~~O~~~~~~~~ So far I am still in my office….…

Hyun Chul: All right then start………let’s begin right now!! (With a slap Hyun Chul closes his cell phone)

Sun Mi: (at once Sun Mi immediately rides the elevator………then she makes a bright smile)

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………Oh Boy!! Jin Sun Mi…you really didn’t know at all??………I have already come to the parking lot some time ago?? You didn’t even realize this…right Sun Mi?? (He just smiles)

 

 

“Lovely You” Chapter 21 Part 2

 

#PARKING LOT

(Sun Mi runs sprinting down to the parking lot………
She makes a satisfied smile and looks around the parking lot………
But not far away………Hyun Chul stands with both of his arms crossed in front of his chest………Hyun Chul leans his back against a parking lot pole………)

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul barely with patience… laughter flows out of his mouth………he walks near Sun Mi) what should I do………even this time I have won the bet………

Sun Mi: (she behaves like there is something not quite satisfying about this matter)

Hyun Chul: you agree…that I have won again…right??

Sun Mi: (She behaves like she can’t acknowledge the matter………her facial expression becomes stern looking)

Hyun Chul: Oh boy? What kind of attitude is this??

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi makes irrelevant remarks and pretends to ignore Hyun Chul) Why did you ask me to come down to the parking lot?? Is there something you want to show me??

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi………you’re so clever…don’t even try to escape from this matter………why don’t you just admit it………if you lose you should be able to admit it completely………and then before anything else you should take your punishment………

Sun Mi: (She scowls at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Here we go again!! Jin Sun Mi you don’t listen to my words at all!! (Hyun Chul lightly bites his bottom lip………and then he makes a deliberately strict and harsh facial expression)

Sun Mi: All right………tell me………I guess I should submit to whatever you wish………that is what you want…right………

Hyun Chul: Well, like you just said…by all means…you will submit to whatever I wish, right………(Hyun Chul indirectly makes a flirty smile on his face………then he moves one step nearer to Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi hesitate with one step back)………please…Hyun Chul you should know…this parking lots was not only two of us space………

Hyun Chul: Well now………there is no one but the two of us in this parking lot………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul quickly snatches Sun Mi’s wrist………then he leads her somewhere………)

(Looking like it just came out of the garage a moment ago………is a shiny white medium sized car………waiting for Sun Mi to appear………)

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi…you already told me that no matter what punishment I give you, you will submit to the matter…right?………This car is your first time to enjoy special privileges of your own………ride as yourself Jin Sun Mi…

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi opens her eyes wide in wonder) Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi, please accept this………just think of this car as my heart………just comfortably………accept this gift that I giving you, all right………

Sun Mi: As of right now……… I don’t necessarily need this kind of car………

Hyun Chul: I don’t think so………you will need transport from the villa, broadcasting station, school, and occasionally from time to time the supermarket too………anyhow in any case this will help you conveniently move around………you will probably need this car exceedingly more than anything else………I won’t carry you in my car to take you every day where you want to go………every time I see you carry your school bag full of books………coming and going to your school………you don’t know how much I feel regrettable toward you………

Sun Mi: ………………………………

Hyun Chul: Hmm?? Sun Mi………it is true…I thought about the present day…what is it you need most…I decided on this car after I repeated anguish…so please accept my gift with a joyful and happy heart………Hmm Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: (her eyes become full of tears) Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: (looks at Sun Mi with gentle eyes) as a substitute, accept this car to attend just school…not any other matter………there is my car to attend our office and my car to leave our office, all right Sun Mi!!………Drive with caution…and also don’t speed………those matters would be absolutely taboo!! In your passenger side seat…there should be no one but me…without me there can be no other men riding in your car…all right Sun Mi…do you understand!!

Sun Mi: (before Sun Mi is aware…one tear drop suddenly falls down her face)

Hyun Chul: Ah Hah~~~~~~~~~~~(Hyun Chul stealthily looks at the guard camera) Oh boy, if those cameras weren’t here………then I would give you a passionate baptism kiss…commemorating the ceremony of you first car ride………

Sun Mi: (She wipes her tears)

Hyun Chul: Well, since time right now is a little busy………Sun Mi, how about…after lunch we go drive around once………

Sun Mi: Yes Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Oh good heavens………by the way………riding next to a person who is driving for the first time………is already causing me to feel anxious and concerned………

Sun Mi: (She look disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul………then she just makes a soft smile)

#THE BREAKROOM

Ju Hee: (She hands a cup of coffee to Sun Mi………then she takes a seat)

Sun Mi: Thank Senior…it smells so good………and also congratulations on your triumphant entry into the fortress of the 9 o’clock news………

Ju Hee: (with a very bright smile Ju Hee shows her good mood) Thanks Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: How do you feel??

Ju Hee: Well………it is not too much to say that………for the sake of these days I ran hard during the past days………but actually approaching the realities of life………there are some matters that are too hard to believe………also I kind of thought that I would be skillful enough in all these matters………then I wouldn’t proceed to feel anxiety………like this………

Sun Mi: Don’t worry about it………you came all the way here………you eagerly prepared more than anyone else………I even heard………that the entire executive branch agreed that Senior should be the one to have that place………everyone’s eyes look toward you Senior………there minds are all the same, as one………

Ju Hee: You think so………just like that………

Sun Mi: I also work diligently hard to pursue after Senior………(Sun Mi behaves bashfully…she softly smiles)

Ju Hee: (smiles) How about during these days?? You’re very busy, right?? Busy with work and home………I ask………along together with your loving husband………

Sun Mi: (She makes a bright smile) It’s very good………I am truly very busy with many matters………that is why………I think one day shouldn’t be…only 24 hours…it would be nice if one day become 48 hours………I had that kind of thought many times in my mind………

Ju Hee: you complain about hours…but so far you really want to mention how happy you really are…don’t you?………you really wanted to mention those words??

Sun Mi: Huh!!

(Sun Mi and Ju Hee laugh loudly………the sound of two female happily laughing spread out)

Sun Mi: Senior, during these days…I think…I received a belated mother’s love………I had no idea about the existence of a mother’s love in the past…

Ju Hee: ………………………………………

Sun Mi: I leave my office…and then I walk to my villa………there inside the villa is very clean………in the morning we left the villa full of scatter and disorder everywhere………no one was expected to stop by my villa………so probably mother must have stopped by my villa………and I think occasionally she sends housekeeping auntie too………

Ju Hee: Well, as much as that…you must be good to them………therefore she must be very happy with you and love you very much………that is why she does what she does………

Sun Mi: I feel very regrettable………I don’t know how to possibly return what I have received from her love………

Ju Hee: Well, probably whatever is inside your heart…the grateful thoughts…would probably make her say she was very happy………just receive whatever love your mother-in-law gives you………and you have to understand your mother-in-law’s feelings…think about…how she feels…she can’t be close at your side to help you put things in order like she wishes………probably now you feel very regrettable and shameless toward your mother-in-law………but receive whatever love she gives you………and in the future………for a long time………you should be devoted to your parents as a good daughter-in-law………don’t you think so Sun Mi…probably that will do fine………

Sun Mi: Yes, Senior I think so…I should………

#A BAR

Sun Dahl: Hey, Yun Hyun Chul…don’t you know you are very easily transparent?? The only days you call me out…are days when your wife has lecture class………any other day and time…you behave like you don’t even know me and ignore me………

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

Sun Dahl: like you and I are indebted to our distinguished superior wives………should I say thank you to our wives in appreciation………I inwardly thought about a secret plan to have a baby………but now that Ju Hee occupies the 9 o’clock news………for the time being………I better forget that plan………it has become like water under the bridge………

Hyun Chul: (He slowly wets his lips)

Sun Dahl: How about you?? During these days…do you even get a proper meal from your wife coming and going to your office??

Hyun Chul: You think food is that important to us?? I don’t think meals are that important in our relationship………

Sun Dahl: Huh??

Hyun Chul: Did you marry Ju Hee because you wished for a wife to prepare you proper meals every day………I didn’t………I married Sun Mi…because I love her very much…and I wish to be with her every day………that is why I married my Sun Mi………

Sun Dahl: Oh Boy…I don’t understand what you just said………it sounded like you were in the middle of sleeping trying to knock on a sealed window………

Hyun Chul: Well, we both leave our villa at the same time…and take care of every day matters the same way………it doesn’t matter who prepares our meal??…I am not particularly sensitive about that kind of matter………Sun Mi and I………whoever gets up first………prepares breakfast………naturally taking care of any matter………of course sometimes our standard meal preparation is simple…a slice of toast and some fried eggs…like that………also in the evening we take care of our dinner…there is a very nice restaurant near our villa………this restaurant is very nice and clean…they make extremely tasty favorable food………therefore Sun Mi and I mostly settle our dinner at this restaurant………

Sun Dahl: (Sun Dahl just opens his mouth wider)

Hyun Chul: Our villa…is just the two of us living………and if purchased so much food and put it inside the refrigerator it would be left as is………and then there would be a lot of food that would not get cooked, become rotten and would be thrown away as waste………that is not so desirable………beside that………we are so busy with even our work matters………therefore we put those matters in order to make our living………it is for the sake of both of us………also for the sake of itself………we decided to experience our lives economically and rationally………

Sun Dahl: Huh!! Oh Boy!!

Hyun Chul: What is the matter with you? Did I say something wrong??

Sun Dahl: your attitude………I mean…that kind of attitude………allows you to receive much love from your wife………I am without this kind of standard husband attitude………that is why Ju Hee………tries day after day………to give me a hard time??

Hyun Chul: Are you telling me…you don’t know these kinds of matter yet………

Sun Dahl: Haaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yun Hyun Chul………I get it…

Hyun Chul: In the future, you better be good to your wife………right Senior!!

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S VILLA, THE LIVING ROOM, A WEEKEND AFTERNOON

(It is a early winter afternoon………this space is for only Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………there are warm beams of sunlight coming inside their living room wrapping Hyun Chul and Sun Mi………Hyun Chul tries by all means without any excuse to drag Sun Mi out of the study room where she was studying a book………Hyun Chul makes Sun Mi take a place on the couch in their living room………and he lays stretched on his stomach on the floor………then without purpose Hyun Chul flips through a book………)

Hyun Chul: (Sun Mi sits at a place next to Hyun Chul…Hyun Chul looks with a sidelong glance at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi appears devoted to her book as she leans against the sofa………she seats herself with her legs straight………)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s facial expression is stern) Oh good heavens…I am with you…exactly next to you………and in front of your eyes…all you see is your book………

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul smoothly rolls his body over………then he is stealthily suggestive………by putting his head on top of Sun Mi’s knee)

Sun Mi: …………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi strongly with his eyes)

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul holds a book up in his hands…he holds the book in front of his chest………then he begins to read the book with a loud voice)

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul mutters)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul please…read quietly………

Hyun Chul: Ah Hah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sorry sorry………so sorry………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: (between Sun Mi’s book and her bosom………Hyun Chul pushes in his face) what are you reading??

Sun Mi: It was recommended by my Professor………it is a special study book………

Hyun Chul: is it a very interesting book…Are you having fun reading it?

Sun Mi: What kind of person would be reading this kind of book for fun………(Sun Mi tries to push Hyun Chul’s head away………)

Hyun Chul: Well, I guess………(again Hyun Chul moves up his head toward Sun Mi) Let me see………let me check this book………probably in my past…I already read this book………(Hyun Chul takes the book away from Sun Mi and looks through the book) Ah Hah~~~~~~~~~~It is this book………

Sun Mi: You already read this book before??

Hyun Chul: Mmm…yes I did………(Hyun Chul closes the book with a slap………then he holds the book in both of his arms…)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul please…give me back the book………I tell you…I have to finish this book by the end of this week………

Hyun Chul: Later on I am going to summarize this book for you………so you will be sure to understand and know just about the important parts……

Sun Mi: I thank you for your thoughts Hyun Chul………but in some matters I don’t like using that kind of method………I tell you…even if I have to go down a hard road………I want to personally study the book to grasp and understand the meaning………and also I want to be sure to familiarize myself with that book………

Hyun Chul: Oh boy, even I volunteer to help you………you just say No………

Sun Mi: I am sorry Hyun Chul………(She tries to take the book from Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul stretches his arms far away so Sun Mi can’t reach the book)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…please………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul hold Sun Mi’s knee tightly………and tries to lay his head down on her knee like a pillow………then he looks up fixedly at Sun Mi’s face) before long…the first snow will begin to come down………right Sun Mi??

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul… please…give me that book quickly………

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi what should we do this year for our first Christmas??

Sun Mi: Mr. Yun Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: Oh Good heavens!!…It has been a long time since we finally saw each other face to face………Sun Mi…you haven’t even looked at me once………what do you say about that…Jin Sun Mi!!!

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi begins to feel a little regrettable toward Hyun Chul) Please give me the book………

Hyun Chul: No I don’t want to!!

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to watch Sun Mi’s intention) then…please give me one kiss Sun Mi…please……..(Hyun Chul sticks his lips out)

Sun Mi: ………(She behaves like she can’t stop Hyun Chul’s behavior………she lowers down her head)

Hyun Chul: (He holds Sun Mi’s neck tightly………for a long time he doesn’t let go of Sun Mi’s lips………then he continuously and passionately kisses Sun Mi’s lips)
Haaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~~~finally I feel like I am a living person………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: Oh………here’s your book………(he sticks Sun Mi’s book out)

(Again time flows to some extent………in the meantime Hyun Chul loses the strength of the love potion from Sun Mi’s kiss)

Hyun Chul: I am hungry Sun Mi Yaaa………

Sun Mi: Oh you are?? (She looks at her watch) all right Hyun Chul………(She tries to get up from where she is sitting)

Hyun Chul: (He playfully gets up first before Sun Mi) No, you don’t have to………you just continue to look at your book………I am going to prepare our meal………

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…it is okay…I should be the one to prepare our meal………

Hyun Chul: I said I would do it………don’t worry I will prepare our meal………how about spaghetti??

Sun Mi: (She nods her head) Sounds good………

Hyun Chul: Okay………Oh by the way Sun Mi………what do you think about coming into the kitchen to read your book………how about it………I………need someone to watch over my back and watch how I am cooking………I will cook more better and smoothly………I am not going to get in your way………you just read your book………I will just cook our meal………Hmm??

Sun Mi: (She already see through Hyun Chul’s underlying motive) all right Hyun Chul………do whatever you wish………

 

Lovely You Chapter 21 Part 3

 

#THE KITCHEN

(Hyun Chul is busy preparing their meal………he puts noodles in boiling water………and he clumsily cuts all sorts of vegetables………then not knowing what he is so happy and pleased about………he begins to hemming to himself………)

(Occasionally Sun Mi takes a good look at Hyun Chul………and suddenly Hyun Chul’s ill-natured behavior comes across Sun Mi’s mind………all day long Hyun Chul’s behavior has been unreasonably demanding………with all her might, Sun Mi scowls at Hyun Chul for a moment………then her facial expression turns to a soft smile………)

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi Yaaa!!!!

Sun Mi: (quickly…she makes her eyes…change direction…to look at her book)

Hyun Chul: What should I add to this spaghetti?? Seafood…tuna…maybe Spam………

Sun Mi: Hmm~~~~~~~Spam sounds good………add Spam to the spaghetti Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: Spam!! All right I got it………by the way…Sun Mi do you think I cut these vegetables too large? (Cutting a green pepper…Hyun Chul picks one piece up to show Sun Mi)…How about it?? What do you think?? Is it too large??

Sun Mi: I think it looks fine Hyun Chul………that size looks suitable………

Hyun Chul: Oh, you think so…okay then………(Hyun Chul moves toward the refrigerator………then he eagerly searches for something)…where is the Spam??

Sun Mi: (In the end Sun Mi finally gets up from where she is sitting………and follows after Hyun Chul…to search for the Spam herself…she finds the Spam and gives it to Hyun Chul)………

(Time flies by………Hyun Chul continues cooking and preparing their meal………a moment later………)

Hyun Chul: Oh, Sun Mi…between the Spam and vegetables………which one should I stir-fry first?? Spam?? Vegetables??

Sun Mi: (a light sigh automatically come out of Sun Mi)…It doesn’t matter………It’s up to you…what ever you feel like frying first………

Hyun Chul: Oh, it doesn’t matter?? Okay?? Oh, by the way Sun Mi………should I stir-fry on high temperature?? Or low temperature??

Sun Mi: (She quietly closes her book………then her facial expression becomes a willful smile) Hyun Chul what do you think?………Let us cook our meal together………

Hyun Chul: No you don’t have to………you just read your book………it is okay, I can cook well enough by myself…(at the place where he cut the vegetables………Hyun Chul all at once pours all the vegetables into the frying pan………then he begins to fry with a sizzling sound) Ah Haaaa~~~~~~~This food smells so good………Mmm…my tummy is going Yum-Yum………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi just laughs)

(For a little while time flows by…Hyun Chul continues to prepare their meal………)

Hyun Chul: (the noodles are cooking inside the boiling water………Hyun Chul stirs the boiling noodles this way and that way) Well…the noodles should be done cooking?? (Hyun Chul pull out one strand of noodle) Sun Mi…Aaahhh!!!

Sun Mi: (Her facial expression looks like asking “what is matter this time?”)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul carefully supports one strand of noodle toward Sun Mi) Sun Mi what do you think…let us examine if this noodle is done or not………

Sun Mi: How?? How are two people going to examine one strand??

Hyun Chul: There is a method………(a playful smile passes the corner of Hyun Chul’s mouth) Here~~~Aaahhh~~~~~open your mouth~~~~~(Hyun Chul moves one end of the strand of noodle toward Sun Mi’s mouth)

Sun Mi: What are you doing??

Hyun Chul: Please bite one end of the strand of noodle………

Sun Mi: Huh?? What do you mean??

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi quickly………

Sun Mi: Are you playing around Hyun Chul?? Don’t you??

Hyun Chul: N~~~O~~~~ I tell you…there is a method for examining the noodle………quickly Sun Mi………bite one end………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi thinks that there is something doubtful about this matter………but without a choice………Sun Mi bites one end of the strand of noodle…)

Hyun Chul: Well, bite tightly………(and then Hyun Chul bites into the other end of the strand of noodle)

Sun Mi: (very much feeling uneasy)

Hyun Chul: (Between Hyun Chul and Sun Mi there is a noodle hanging down………Hyun Chul with a snap, tries to hit the noodle with his finger tip………then a moment Hyun Chul loudly sucks up the noodle toward his mouth………and then Hyun Chul makes a dash toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Oops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul with a gulp sucks up the noodle………even taking away the piece of noodle inside Sun Mi’s mouth………then he softly moves off of Sun Mi’s lips…)…well it is not quite done…I have to cook them a little longer………(Hyun Chul turns around toward the kitchen with a gentle smile)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks mortified………Sun Mi grimaces at Hyun Chul)

(A large plate filled with delicious-looking spaghetti………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi busily tries to finish the spaghetti………every time spaghetti enters Sun Mi’s mouth………Hyun Chul tries to bite the opposite end of a noodle and holds on to it………there they are linked together by Hyun Chul’s ill-natured playing…he doesn’t know how to stop and continues to play………fully spread all over their lips are traces of spaghetti sauce………)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul, that is enough playing………why don’t you stop…Stop it………

Hyun Chul: What?? What did I do?? Stop what??

Sun Mi: Do you really want to behave like this?? Is that why you volunteered to cook our meal as spaghetti?? And intentionally put all the spaghetti on one plate, right??

Hyun Chul: (He just softy smiles)

Sun Mi: (She look disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul moves his hand toward Sun Mi’s lips) what is the matter with you Jin Sun Mi………what is this…is this part of your lips…or is it spaghetti sauce………I can’t tell………

Sun Mi: Oh my goodness…who is the one that made this mess on my face like this………

Hyun Chul: Well it should be me, right?? (Hyun Chul quickly wipes away the spaghetti sauce………then he tries to wipe the spaghetti sauce onto Sun Mi’s cheek)

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul must be enjoying this very much………this time he takes both of his hands toward Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: Yun Hyun Chul!!!!! (Sun Mi doesn’t want to surrender to Hyun Chul on this matter………she moves toward Hyun Chul’s face………and attacks!!!)

(There Hyun Chul and Sun Mi happen to get into a untimely spaghetti fight………these two grown-ups begin to behave like mere children………and then loud laughter spreads out all over the villa…and they sound like they are breathing their last breath………pushing and pulling………they become entangled………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi eagerly gesture………and become linked together for a long time………Sun Mi collapses on top of the kitchen table………Hyun Chul moves near Sun Mi………and then to the utmost limits Hyun Chul leans his body against Sun Mi’s body to transmit a deep passionate kiss………this passionate kiss is the last settlement of their spaghetti fight………there is now a cease-fire………they finally stop everything………)

(With a flash Hyun Chul holds up Sun Mi in his arms………and then Hyun Chul carries Sun Mi………straight toward the bathroom………leaving behind the empty plate and spaghetti rolled about everywhere carelessly………here and there are drops of spaghetti sauce………)

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S BEDROOM

(Hyun Chul very gently and carefully lays Sun Mi on top of the bed………Hyun Chul breaks down through endless love………they begin to make endless love………Sun Mi led by Hyun Chul………together with Hyun Chul………Sun Mi tries to have a dream………)

(Flowing like a wild stormy wind………passing by………even the very thin sound of their breathing reaches their ears like a large sound………then………for a long time silence flows everywhere inside their bedroom………)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul entertains the strong aftereffect………and he entirely buries his face into the nape of Sun Mi’s neck)

Sun Mi: …………………………………

Hyun Chul: Because of me………everything was spoiled today, right??

Sun Mi: Oh you know………

Hyun Chul: Well, but in real important times………I didn’t get in your way………

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul moves down a little more closer to Sun Mi’s bosom………then Hyun Chul delves his face into Sun Mi’s bosom………rubbing his face…) Oh…my only everlasting resting place………

Sun Mi: …………………………………

Hyun Chul: (With the sweet smile…Hyun Chul draws out a sigh of low admiration) Mmm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

Hyun Chul: ………Hmm, yes Sun Mi………

Sun Mi: Thank you for everything………

Hyun Chul: What do you thank me for??

Sun Mi: Just everything………(as Hyun Chul moves his face at her bosom…Sun Mi wraps her arms around Hyun Chul’s head)…I know you’re a person who likes good morning sleep………but there are days when I have lecture and days afterward………that without exception you get up before I do………and prepare breakfaster for me………and also everything else……….

Hyun Chul: ………………………………

Sun Mi: I know…you don’t like cooking…I even know you will starve because you don’t like to cook for yourself………(Sun Mi stealthily watches over Hyun Chul’s intention) and also you don’t particularly have any cooking skills………

Hyun Chul: (With a flash Hyun Chul lifts up his head)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi smiles lovingly at Hyun Chul)

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul looks playful…he twists his face and bends his eye brows at Sun Mi)

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi examines Hyun Chul’s chest) some times………I come home from work………and see that you have already come home from your work to prepare our dinner before me………and even when I prepare our dinner…then you always help me at my side to finish our dinner………from beginning to the end you will always accompany me………Hyun Chul thank you…thank you for all that you do………

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul softly kisses the top of the Sun Mi’s head) Well, Sun Mi…it is a good substitution to you giving me all your love like this………don’t you think………I don’t desire anything anymore………than Jin Sun Mi to be happy………if you are happy then I should be happy too………

Sun Mi: I wish time would flow by quickly………that way I would feel more lightly regrettable………

Hyun Chul: Jin Sun Mi, don’t say that………I did the planning for the future………but I am not only waiting for those days to live my own life………I tell you…now every moment……… I am together with you………I take the moment to enjoy loving you………that is the way I am living my life…………

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

Hyun Chul: And then………there is tonight………(Hyun Chul takes Sun Mi’s cheeks in both of his hands………then their eyes meet each other) so far………there is not enough time and physical strength to make love to you as much as I would like………

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s face become reddish………Sun Mi tries to avoid Hyun Chul’s eyes)
.
Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul pulls Sun Mi up………then he gently brings Sun Mi’s lips to his lips………then he slowly rotates his body to change position………then Hyun Chul slowly rides down toward Sun Mi)

(There Hyun Chul’s desire hold onto Sun Mi forever………Hyun Chul blazes the night with a passionate fire………inside the comforter………Hyun Chul’s moves himself to make love to Sun Mi………his desire…he gives all of his love to Sun Mi………again Hyun Chul searches Sun Mi………Hyun Chul wanders about Sun Mi………)

(And that is the way………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s tender passion flow by………)

# THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s secretary places a cup of coffee on top of Hyun Chul’s desk) Think you………

 

Secretary: Mr. Director………you don’t mind please, look out the window………

 

Hyun Chul: Huh?? (Hyun Chul turns his head around to look out the window)

 

(There outside the window………pure-white………is the first snowfall of the season………not too thick………but it is enough………to melt peoples’ hearts at once………there the whole city is covered with white-snow………)

 

Hyun Chul: (His mouth forms a faint smile)

 

Secretary: (She behaves like she doesn’t wish to disturb Hyun Chul’s mood………she quietly slips out of Hyun Chul’s office)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul moves closer to the window………then he takes his cell phone out of his pocket)

 

Sun Mi: Hello Jin Sun Mi speaking………

 

Hyun Chul: It’s me………

 

Sun Mi: (Her facial expression becomes a glad smile) Oh, Hyun Chul………guess what?………I was now………just about call you………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh you were… anyhow did you know…From the sky………God has sent Jin Sin Mi a present………for the completion of Jin Sun Mi’s thesis………Don’t you think so, Jin Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: Yes Hyun Chul, I think so too………also in all respects………on top of that……….God has sent you a thankful present………since during all past time………you have been very much a helping-hand and have very patiently supported me………

 

Hyun Chul: Yes, Sun Mi………that is right………God has sent the first snow like this as a present for us………

 

Sun Mi: Mr. Yun Hyun Chul………Do you have any time this evening??

 

Hyun Chul: Why do you ask me that kind of question?………Mrs. Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Umm~~~~~~~~~I was thinking about asking you for a date………

 

Hyun Chul: Of course, I will delightfully answer your question………Yes, I will Mrs. Jin Sun Mi………

 

#A STREET NEAR HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S VILLA

 

(So far………the appetizing snow accumulates………there aren’t even footprints in the snow yet………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi hold each other’s hand tightly, walking side by side………)

 

Hyun Chul: (From time to time Hyun Chul provides a helping-hand to shake off the top of Sun Mi’s hair………where snow has piled up………and Hyun Chul from time to time passes his hand over to touch Sun Mi’s cheek to check if by some chance Sun Mi is feeling cold………and then he takes their holding hands………and puts them inside his coat pocket)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks up at Hyun Chul………and makes a happy smile)

 

Hyun Chul: You are praiseworthy Jin Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: During those past time…I always behaved ill-natured and interfered with your studies………and also persistently showing my aggressive-love affection toward you………but you shouldn’t be daunted over the matter of my behavior………and more than anyone else………you did quickly finish your thesis………oh boy Jin Sun Mi…I am so proud of you………

 

Sun Mi: (She smiles)

 

Hyun Chul: And also I have to mention another thanks to you Sun Mi…because you let me finish…during all those past nights………I had to wait for you with those lonesome feelings in my anxious heart………

 

Sun Mi: (Her face becomes red………then she looks disapprovingly out of the corner of her eyes at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: Oh by the way………from now on………it is all right for me to be whatever I feel like and do whatever I wish, right Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi stops walking………then she stands in front of Hyun Chul to look at him) Hyun Chul………on the contrary I’m the one who should say thank you………at the time at the very end of preparing my thesis………I nearly left it behind as is………and you took my work into your hands………taking care of all the household work………moreover you are very busy with your own business………but in this violent vortex………you searched material for my thesis………running this way and that way (a teardrop begins to form in Sun Mi’s eyes) taking care of me………thank you very much Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul bends his head backward to look up at the sky) Well Sun Mi………I………I really desire to hear………different words from you………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi also bends her head backward to look up at the sky)

 

Hyun Chul: What are you doing?? I told you that I wish to hear different words from you………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi closes her eyes firmly) Oh I didn’t know the sensation of snow………was this warm………Hyun Chul please try to feel the snow………

 

Hyun Chul: (He closes his eyes………then a faint smile settles in the corner of Hyun Chul’s mouth)………yes, it really is………

 

Sun Mi: ………Hyun Chul……….

 

Hyun Chul: ………Hmmm………

 

Sun Mi: You know………in my heart………

 

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

 

Sun Mi: I love you………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul opens his eyes………then he looks at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…did you know…on the first page of my thesis………I am going to write………(Sun Mi gazes at Hyun Chul) I dedicate this thesis………to my beloved husband, Yun Hyun Chul………

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi stand together and gently bring their foreheads together, softly touching………then together………without a sound tears drop down………and there on top of the white snow Hyun Chul and Sun Mi leave traces of their tears behind………)

 

#A FEW MONTHS LATER, A CONFERENCE ROOM

 

(The fully gloomy atmosphere of the conference room………lingers all around the room………Hyun Chul leaning against his hand propped on top of the conference table, rubs his forehead as he takes hold a pen with the other hand………from time to time he taps the pen on top of the table………inside the conference room all the people are extremely tense………they eagerly gaze steadily at Hyun Chul’s conduct………)

 

(Inside the conference room everyone wonders………at what moment will Hyun Chul’s actions become a loud scold………but………different from everyone’s expectations………Hyun Chul’s voice spread out quietly and calmly………)

 

Hyun Chul: Well, I don’t wish to accuse or blame anyone………there is no particular single position that can be blamed for this error………(Hyun Chul straightens his posture)………during the past we worked as one team………because of that………in the long run………I think………we should carry this error together………with responsibility and ethical actions………

 

(Inside the conference room everybody drops their head down………then they listen intently to Hyun Chul’s statement)

 

Hyun Chul: As soon as possible send out an apology broadcast………and also make a mental note to fight this engagement………run again with zeal and eagerness………we should as soon as possible restore our prestigious reputation in this loosing matter………does everyone agree………

 

(Inside of the conference room everyone is extremely quiet)

 

Hyun Chul: But!!…Just because we proceed with this error in this way does not mean we are burying this error like it is nothing………under no circumstances should we take this matter lightly…we should make sure to think about this matter seriously………and also I wish everyone a chance to take this matter seriously once again…and deeply think about the matters of work and of broadcasting………and also!! In the future…if this type of mistake should occur once again………then…the matter will not be dealt with in the same manner as it was this time………everyone should keep that in mind please………

 

(Inside the conference room every employee swallows deeply)

 

Hyun Chul: During ordinary times I always carry in my heart everyone’s expectations and confidence………just because of this error………that doesn’t mean I am going to be defeated about what I always carry inside my heart………I will just keep watch over everyone………I beg everyone………please don’t disappoint me with this type of matter a second time………this all for today’s meeting, I am finished here………

 

(Before Hyun Chul is aware………only Sun Dahl and Hyun Chul are left in the conference room)

 

Sun Dahl: Are you all right??

 

Hyun Chul: (He deeply sighs)

 

Sun Dahl: Well…I tell you Yun Hyun Chul…your temper must have become very dejected………I thought………like in the past…you would proceed…to once again create a mercilessly scolding atmosphere…and your behavior would resonate throughout the whole conference room………

 

Hyun Chul: Well, these people have enough sense in their minds………don’t you think?………honestly all these people will come to understand more what I am trying to mention with those statements………in this meeting I tried my best not to express my uncomfortable mood while mentioning those statements………therefore………don’t you think…my silent conduct would………sometimes be more reproachful and strict to them………

 

Sun Dahl: Yes, I think so Hyun Chul………I agree with what you just said………anyhow………as a result of this error………need less to say, your image and the image of the whole broadcasting station will become damaged and dishonored………

 

Hyun Chul: (His facial expression becomes bitter)

 

Sun Dahl: I feel like lousy………what do you think about us going someplace to have a drink??

 

Hyun Chul: No Senior………I am sorry………on this kind of day…I don’t think I feel like having a drink………I just want to leave my office early and go home………to rest from this whole matter………that is best action for me………

 

Sun Dahl: Oh you mean………to be next to your wife………right??

 

Hyun Chul: (He just smiles)

 

Sun Dahl: Well, tell your wife………that you need lots of comforting………all right Hyun Chul………Hmm, O-Key-Do-key?? (Sun Dahl winks at Hyun Chul)

 

#A LOBBY

 

Woo Jin: (Woo Jin quietly chases after Sun Mi as she walks in front of him………he tries hard to gather his eager ardent looks) Mrs. Jin Sun Mi!!!

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi stops abruptly for a moment!!! Then she turns around and looks at Woo Jin)

 

Woo Jin: (He makes a peaceful smile………and walks up to Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: Oh, Mr. Woo Jin………when did you come back??

 

Woo Jin: Well, I came back last Monday………

 

(Woo Jin…after Sun Mi got married………Woo Jin volunteered to take photographs for long periods of time in locations of foreign countries as much as possible………here these two people do not wish to acknowledge the awkward atmosphere………they try hard to act like everything is at ease………time roams about for a little while between them………)

 

Sun Mi: Well, Mr. Woo Jin………it looks like this time the photograph trip was a little longer than any other scheduled photograph trip………

 

Woo Jin: Oh…you think so Mrs. Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: How are you…you are in good health…right, Mr. Woo Jin??

 

Woo Jin: Yes, I am………thank you for your concern………but I guess there was one illness that I had………the problem was, I should say, that I didn’t know what to do about myself………always filled with overflowing passion………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi quietly smiles………then she lowers her head)

 

Woo Jin: (Woo Jin with a deep expression in his eyes…look at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi tries to lift up her head…then suddenly she meet Woo Jin’s eyes…she tries stealthily to avoid Woo Jin’s eyes)

 

Woo Jin: During those past days………I heard that you received a Masters degree Mrs. Sun Mi………it is late but congratulations………

 

Sun Mi: Thank very much Mr. Woo Jin………

 

Woo Jin: (A somewhat bitter smile floats onto Woo Jin’s face………then for a moment he hesitates)………Mrs. Sun Mi I think I should………say farewell to you………

 

Sun Mi: Huh??………What do you mean by that………

 

Woo Jin: There is a broadcasting station………where I know a close older Senior who works at the broadcasting station as a producer………but beginning next month he will be leaving the broadcasting station………to establish his own film production company………anyhow, he asked me…never the less…if I would come help him as his assistant………

 

Sun Mi: Oh, then………that means you are going to take your Senior’s offer………right Mr. Woo Jin!!………

 

Woo Jin: Yes, I think so………I think I am going to take those offer………Well anyhow…I must say………truly there everything is quite inadequate compared to this broadcasting station………(He walks near a wall………then he lightly leans his back against the wall)………once again I seriously think about this matter in my mind………and I decided………that I should take this new job as a new fresh feeling………I really want the inside of my heart to have a fresh feeling as well as in my mind………that is why I think I should begin my new job………(He lowers his head) and also………it is about time………for me to move on………from all matters and forget about everything………that is why I should begin my new job and new life………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Woo Jin: …………………………………

 

Sun Mi: Well, then Mr. Woo Jin………in the future………is there any chance that we will meet again………

 

Woo Jin: ………(Woo Jin lifts up his head)………yes, of course Mrs. Sun Mi………of course we will………maybe in the future, I will get an offer to take charge of the Moon Young broadcasting station………then we will probably come in and go out very often………

 

Sun Mi: I really wish you much success in your new job………

 

Woo Jin: Thank you very much…I really appreciate it Mrs. Sun Mi………I also wish for you to have a blissful and very happy life too………(he slowly sticks his hand out to ask Sun Mi for one last hand shake)

 

(Then for the sake of meeting Sun Mi………Hyun Chul walks trudgingly with both of his hands in his pant pockets………he walk toward Sun Mi………and then Hyun Chul’s eyes suddenly stop for a moment………there Hyun Chul can see………Sun Mi and Woo Jin………Hyun Chul becomes aware………that these two people are holding each other’s hand with a very delicate atmosphere………Hyun Chul just absentmindedly stands watch over these two people………)

 

Woo Jin: (Woo Jin collects his hand with a longing feeling) Goodbye Mrs. Sun Mi…and take care………

 

Sun Mi: You too Mr. Woo Jin…goodbye…and please take care of yourself………(Sun Mi gazes intently at Woo Jin………until Woo Jin becomes distant and disappears………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Without knowing himself………Hyun Chul breaths a slender sigh)

 

Sun Mi: (She slowly turns around………and then she tries to tell herself where she was supposed to go) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s facial expression looks a little angry………without any word Hyun Chul just turns around and walks away from Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul!!!! (Sun Mi with a speedy pace tries to catch up with Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: ……………………………………

 

Sun Mi: He thinks he going to resign from the broadcasting station………that is why he came to see me…to say goodbye to me………

 

Hyun Chul: Who asked you?!!!

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul brings himself to a stop) Do you know Sun Mi………I really don’t like this kind of your attitude!! You behave exactly like someone who just got caught doing something very wrong………let me tell you Sun Mi………this kind of attitude makes me feel more uncomfortable toward you…some how you are trying to make an excuse for yourself to explain to me!!

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Well, finally Mr. Kim Woo Jin has come to some sense………I guess he has finally decided………that he should give up his feelings toward you………right… is that right Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………why…do you talk like this with this kind of behavior!!………

 

Hyun Chul: Why!! Sun Mi…Really you don’t know why!!………Then you think I am mistaken to mention these words to you in this way…right………well, Sun Mi think about it…during the past… why did Mr. Kim Woo Jin always take his work outside to foreign countries every time ………and don’t you know…that every time…Mr. Kim Woo Jin always stares at you with that expression in his eyes………the problem is I can always see and I can always feeling all of those matters………

 

Sun Mi: Well, Hyun Chul then let me ask you…what you just mentioned………you said you really didn’t like my behavior a moment ago…right Hyun Chul………then Hyun Chul…how about your attitude…you would take a matter about nothing and become this angry at me………and mention these kinds of words………tell me…Hyun Chul…really...do you think that your behavior is fair………how about it Hyun Chul…tell me please………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s facial features become extremely wrinkled………then he takes his hand to cover his face) Sun Mi Yaaa………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul guess what!!………I guess I should mention these words to you too………I also truly do not like your behavior like this!!

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi…I am sorry………today… a bad situation happened to me…that is why………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…if you don’t mind…I’m going to leave first………(with a chilly attitude Sun Mi moves aside and then walks past Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi Yaaaa………

#GYU SUNG’S HOUSE

 

(Sun Mi leaves her office and tries to go home from work………Sun Mi absolutely doesn’t feel like stepping in her villa to see Hyun Chul face to face………that thought causes Sun Mi to turn her car around to go toward her father’s place………)

 

Gyu Sung: Are you all right Sun Mi………is there something troubling you??

 

Sun Mi: No Daddy………there is nothing troubling me………this evening Hyun Chul will be coming home very late………because he has to take care of his business duties until very late………therefore I don’t feel like going home by myself and eating dinner by myself………so because of that………I came to see you………and also I missed you very much………anyhow………Daddy, are you not glad and happy to see me??

 

Gyu Sung: Of course I am glad to see you………it is not that………

 

Sun Mi: Then Daddy………from now on………don’t worry unnecessarily about me………all right………

 

Gyu Sung: All right………Sun Mi I won’t………

 

Sun Mi: Well anyhow………Daddy what do you think about the taste of today’s Hae-Mul-Tang (ocean fish marine products soup)?? My cooking ability is like it used to be………right, Daddy??………

 

Gyu Sung: Mmmm………yes I think so………I think your cooking skills has not changed at all…well anyhow your skills have become better than they used to be………today’s Hae-Mul-Tang is more tasteful and strong………Ha ha ha ha………

 

Sun Mi: (She smiles brightly………then suddenly the expression in her eyes becomes feeble-looking………Sun Mi carefully takes a good look at Gyu Sung’s appearance)

 

Gyu Sung: What is the matter………why are you looking at me like that………do I have something on my face??

 

Sun Mi: Da~~ddy………these days………are~~~~you doing all right??

 

Gyu Sung: Yes, of course I am………as a matter of fact………I am doing very well………nowadays I am very busy attending to my public services every weekend………these days attending to my service activities………causes me to feel………remarkably like a young person………and also I am fervently learning and becoming aware………that educating children at a school is not everything………there in the ghetto areas many children suffer and are in pain………for the sake of those children………I think that I still have time to keep on moving my body………I would like to help those children at least a little………therefore I decided to studiously devote myself to the needs of those children………

 

Sun Mi: Daddy………but please don’t make yourself do so much unreasonable work………that would probably be hard on you………take care of yourself, all right………

 

Gyu Sung: Don’t worry about me Sun Mi………I am doing very well controlling myself………and also your daddy………has already fully organized matters of my life and scheduled what I should do in the future………I have already determined………what I should do in the future and what I should be in the future from now until decades more in my life………

 

Sun Mi: Huh?? How Daddy?? How have you settled those matters??

 

Gyu Sung: When I become retirement age………well……….there are still a few more years left before my retirement………but after retirement………whatever I am doing now………I would like to do more service activities………scheduling work for an organization……….to take this service activity and make myself become more of a guide to help those children………and also if I have time………I would like to search for my old students and visit them………and I would like to attend a sightseeing tour of all the scenic parts of Korea………no………not only that………I would like to visit the scenic parts of the whole world………well, I always thought………that all of my students would be frightened and terrified of me………because they always called me the tiger principal………but during these days………all of those little rascals are still in contact with me………and they still address me like I am still their teacher………all those little rascals ask me………if there is some chance and I have time then………they all wish for me to visit them a little………they asked me to make sure not to forget them………you don’t know how hard those little rascals press me………they asked that in the future………if by chance I pass their house street then I better make sure not to forget them and visit their house at once………of course they all formally invited me to their places already………

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………

 

Gyu Sung: Well, I’ll tell you Sun Mi………if there is any chance that my students turn their face around away from me………then there will be nothing useful about my life………well maybe I will receive some kind of honor or win an official commendation………and also maybe receive a prize or reward………but all that………when I am avoided by my students then there will be nothing useful about all those things………what do you think Sun Mi………don’t you agree………and also Sun Mi what do you think about………your daddy having these kinds of standards………so that when I step away to look at my life………I will feel like I have some kind of self-confidence and think highly about myself………and also maybe you will be proud of me………don’t you agree…Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi with tearful eyes………she holds Gyu Sung’s hand tightly………)

 

Gyu Sung: (Gyu Sung tries to pat Sun Mi’s hand) Well, Sun Mi………you met a very nice partner and got married………and live happily ever after………therefore, now I don’t need anything else but that matter………that was my most important dream and it came true………and I am sure that I don’t need anything else that much………

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………

 

Gyu Sung: Anyhow………during these days………I don’t know what to do about that old lady………

 

Sun Mi: Huh?????

 

Gyu Sung: During these days………there is this one old lady who spends time together with me………and also attends service activities to help those children………but anyhow………that old lady has too many tears………before we even attend any service activity………I formally remind her every time not to cry about any matter………but she cries about any little thing………oh boy………let me tell you Sun Mi………that situation causes me to not know how to properly help those children………

 

Sun Mi: She………she must behave the same as me………right daddy………

 

Gyu Sung: Huh?????

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles)

 

Gyu Sung: Not only that………every time she sees me………I don’t know why………but she gives me all kinds of lectures………like I shouldn’t behave like an old widower living all alone by myself………and etc…etc………and also she said that at the school ground I shouldn’t scorn my students so much………and that when I come and go from my house I should have proper meals etc………oh my goodness………why does she always interfere in my problems………oh boy………I tell you Sun Mi………I think that old lady thinks that I am her husband or something………she should know that she is not my wife………

 

Sun Mi: (She makes a soft smile on her face) Well, Daddy………is she pretty??

 

Gyu Sung: What?? What did you just ask??

 

Sun Mi: Nothing………nothing at all………Daddy, anyhow………about your future plans that you mentioned a little while ago………you are going to organize those service activities to help children and you will visit your old students………well, Daddy I think your future plans are very good ideas………but Daddy………during those service activities………or when you visit your old students all around the world………don’t carry out your future plans by yourself………what do you think…about doing those service activities or visit your students all around the world with someone………It’s about keeping someone’s company next to you………if you do that…then you will have someone you can lean on………and also make yourself more secure and reliable………you also wouldn’t be bored like you are now………because there would be someone you could always share conversations with………don’t you think so Daddy………how about it………

 

Gyu Sung: Huh?? Sun Mi?? What do you mean?? What are you trying to say??

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi just smiles)

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S VILLA, THE LIVING ROOM

 

Hyun Chul: (As Sun Mi walks into the living room………Hyun Chul looks at Sun Mi with a very angry facial expression………) where have you been!! I even tried to call your cell phone…and your cell phone was off!!

 

Sun Mi: (She behaves like she doesn’t even see Hyun Chul…she avoids Hyun Chul and just walks past Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul grabs Sun Mi’s arm tightly) Jin Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: I just came from my Dad’s place………I was visiting my father………

 

Hyun Chul: (He lets go of Sun Mi’s arm) well then you should have called me and told me at least where you were………don’t you care………about how much I worried about you………I was very worried………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul…I am very tired………I guess I better take a quick shower and then go to bed to sleep………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi about today’s matter………I am very sorry about that………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi looks at Hyun Chul with an expressionless face for a moment………then without saying a word Sun Mi enters their bedroom)

 

Hyun Chul: Oh~~ Boy~~~~~~~~~~~~She must be very angry at me………

 

#HYUN CHUL AND SUN MI’S BEDROOM

 

(Hyun Chul with both of his arms crossed in front of him sits slightly slumped on the bed………and waits for Sun Mi to return from the bathroom………suddenly in front of Hyun Chul’s eyes there appears the newlywed couple doll………there on the other side of the room………in front of the mirror………on top of the dresser the newlywed wife doll stands looking in the opposite direction of the husband doll………there the wife doll looks like she is trying to avoid the husband doll………)

 

Hyun Chul: (He look at those dolls and he just smiles)

 

Sun Mi: (after finishing her shower Sun Mi enters the bedroom………Sun Mi brushes her fingers through her hair to dry her hair)

 

Hyun Chul: (He rubs his chin) Sun Mi Yaaaaa~~~~~ I think those two newlywed dolls must be fighting………

 

Sun Mi: (She just makes a side long glance at the dolls………then she turns her eyes around like before………then she walks toward the bed)

 

Hyun Chul: Look at that………look at those dolls………it looks like the husband doll has made some kind of mistake toward the wife doll………Oh boy………I wonder what kind of mistake the husband doll made??

 

Sun Mi: (As soon as Sun Mi gets into the bed…She makes a cautionary warning………on top of the comforter………between Hyun Chul and herself………Sun Mi formally pushes down on the comforter drawing a line)

 

Hyun Chul: Huh?? What are you doing?? What is wrong with you??

 

Sun Mi: (She lays down on the bed with her back toward Hyun Chul) if you don’t mind………please turn off the lights………

 

Hyun Chul: ???????………all right………(After Hyun Chul turns off the lights………Hyun Chul lays down facing Sun Mi) Sun Mi Yaaa~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: ………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi Yaaa~~~don’t you need my arm?? You told me………that you can’t sleep without my arm as a pillow………come here please and lay against my arm………(he grabs Sun Mi’s shoulders to pull her towards him)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi shakes herself free from Hyun Chul’s grasp)

 

Hyun Chul: ?????????………(Hyun Chul behaves like he has no choice but to give up………he just watches Sun Mi’s cold shoulders from behind)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi cracks a side long glance at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: About Mr. Kim Woo Jin………he also came to see me at my office today………to greet me………I think he is a very talented person………therefore it looks like we are losing a very good person from our broadcasting station………don’t you think so………you do agree with me………right Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi I knew………I knew all along that Mr. Kim Woo Jin was a good person………and I really understand what happened today between Mr. Kim Woo Jin and you………and also I understand how you feel about the matter………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: But about today’s matter………I~~~No~~~No Nothing…never mind………night, night…sleep tight………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi can hear Hyun Chul’s deep even sounding sleep………Sun Mi turns her body around toward Hyun Chul………even in his deep sleep………for Sun Mi’s sake………Hyun Chul has put his arm out so that Sun Mi can lay her head in his arms………Sun Mi quietly lays her head toward Hyun Chul………then she buries her head deep inside Hyun Chul’s chest)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul conducting himself instinctively………as Sun Mi buries her head against Hyun Chul’s body and holds him tightly………Hyun Chul automatically embraces Sun Mi firmly like he always does)

#THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

 

Sun Mi: (As she holds her office phone to her ear) What do you mean Senior?? What did you just say?

 

Ju Hee: You still don’t know about what happened in the conference room??

 

Sun Mi: No Senior…I don’t know much about that matter………I just heard a little about that day…through the media during a discussion report…about the broadcasting making some kind of error………

 

Ju Hee: Well, then now you know about that matter Sun Mi? Anyhow…I heard what happened that day inside the conference room…Mr. Director carried on by providing protection for the ringleader of the actual problem…and then he mentioned that he himself………would take the responsibility for causing the matter………Well Sun Mi, maybe this is just only my thought and concern………about manager Mr. Kim………maybe manager Mr. Kim will once again treat this matter for his own interests and behave like he did before………then…what should Mr. Director do………well hope for the best that he won’t behave like he did before…right??…Sun Mi?? Anyhow during those past times………I kind of felt…that Mr. Director and Manager Mr. Kim’s relationship would become a little more soft and tender than before………so therefore surely he won’t…right Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: (Suddenly across Sun Mi’s mind………appears Hyun Chul’s behavior yesterday evening in bed…when he tried to mention something to Sun Mi)

 

Ju Hee: So Sun Mi…what do you think about your husband’s behavior in that conference room…I think he was really…really…splendid…splendid indeed………Mr. Director made that kind of decision and took all the responsibility of the matter on himself…and mentioning to all those employees inside the conference room in that manner………oh my goodness…probably it wasn’t so easy for him…but Mr. Director did well…think about it…during these days…no high position person would make that kind of decision and take all the blame on themselves because their employees made a mistake………all I know………these days…there are some high position people who will steel or snatch away their employee’s good ideas for their own personal sake and interest by taking credit for the idea…of course there are also many high position bosses that when they make some type of mistake themselves…would behave by placing all the blame of the mistake on their employee’s shoulders in order to cover their own backs………

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………

 

Ju Hee: Oh, my goodness…Sun Mi………I talk too much………well during these days without work…I only lay down in bed all the time and take my meals………which has caused my mouth to become very irritated………likewise this kind of behavior shows…that I can’t hide…what my line of work is………

 

Sun Mi: (She just smiles) Senior take good care yourself………and as soon as possible when I have time I will visit you at your house…all right………

 

Ju Hee: Yes, you should…come visit at me often…these days…I am like a person imprisoned at home…inside my house by myself I am isolated from the outside world…and that matter causes me to feel very irritated like I have no life………

 

Sun Mi: Bye, Senior, I will call you again later………(Sun Mi put down her office phone………then for a moment Sun Mi sinks down in deep thought………then suddenly she picks up the phone once again and begins to dial………but………on the other side Hyun Chul does not answer his phone………)

 

#THE CHAIRMAN’S OFFICE

 

Chairman Yun: I roughly heard…information about the mistakes that happened in broadcasting………well, you should proceed by paying more attention to your employees and take this matter seriously………and guide your employees…to be more careful and seriously about when sending out the any broadcast…especially in the matter of future……….

 

Hyun Chul: Yes, Sir………

 

Chairman Yun: Well, Hyun Chul…the reason I asked you to meet me in my office today is because………I would like to discuss with you………about the living place for you and my new daughter………

 

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

 

Chairman Yun: It is about time…that my new daughter has had enough time to gain considerable work experience………there is no need to complain about her work management abilities………and also her position can easily attract peoples’ attention and gossip………but so far she hasn’t once exhibited a sparking behavior………and also I know…she has accomplished a very good harmony with her fellow workers………

 

Hyun Chul: May I ask father…are you thinking about transferring Sun Mi someplace else………

 

Chairman Yun: How long…should I keep her in the same position…don’t you think…it is about time………that she should begin to work a full-length position………I think there won’t be any problems even after she takes her full-length position………it is about time…I think I need take a rest………therefore I would like you take charge of my position………and then I will be behind this place so I can take a rest………what do you think Hyun Chul………how about it………

 

Hyun Chul: Father………

 

Chairman Yun: Come to the main office and take charge of all the business matters………and in your place…my new daughter………your wife should take charge… and let her take care of your position………how about it Hyun Chul?? Tell me if you disagree with my decision??

 

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to avoid Sun Mi’s piercing eyes………Hyun Chul just continues to look at the document on top of his desk…) is there anything the matter with you assistant Jin? Why are you looking at me with those eager eyes? Well, I may be wrong…but so far I kind of understand…you probably don’t want to see me face to face yet…right Assistant Jin??………That is what I feel about you now………

 

Sun Mi: (She quickly gathers her eyes together………then she gazes toward someplace else…)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul raises his head up…and then looks at Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: ………(She slowly turns her eyes around toward Hyun Chul) Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: If you need to discuss a private matter with me…then if you don’t mind…let’s discuss the matter after we finish work when we get back home…all right………(Hyun Chul once again continues looking through the documents on top of his desk)

 

Sun Mi: …………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (then Hyun Chul takes a document………and tosses the document toward Sun Mi) Assistant Jin? Is this your planning idea? Did you send this document here??

 

Sun Mi: Yes…Mr. Director………

 

Hyun Chul: Assistant Jin, may I ask you…what do you think about your planning idea?

 

Sun Mi: Huh??

 

Hyun Chul: on occasion you send your planning idea here…this time…it is without any measure…your planning idea is full of opinion………

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: There are too many favorable terms and conditions…it’s hard to only throw it away inside the cabinet………from my eyes…what I see………there isn’t any originality or fresh ideas in your planning idea document………therefore assistant Jin! I am asking you…what do you think about your planning idea that you sent here………you surely know…before you sent your planning idea here…in it’s own way there would be some kind of ideas that you should decline…right…Assistant Jin??

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s facial expression looks like the blood is rushing into her head)

 

Hyun Chul: Assistant Jin! Let me ask you…now…have you adapted to other employees’ mannerisms………where is the passion and challenging behavior from the old days………surely they wouldn’t have already faded away………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi quietly bites her bottom lips)

 

Hyun Chul: of course you’re a human being………therefore I guess I can understand how you would behave like this………but…surely you made an effort planning idea less for the sake of undergoing a change…Assistant Jin! Look through the surrounding environment around you!! How much faster everything changes around you………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: It doesn’t matter how much you crouch down sitting at one side of your office………thinking in your head………and still you pick up nothing and waste your thoughts………then why don’t you…take yourself directly and move through the outside world!!

 

(The expression of Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s eyes become tightly entangled)

 

Hyun Chul: People like you…Assistant Jin…they take their position and behave comfortably and peacefully………don’t you think…there should be a necessary need for some kind of fresh stimulation………anyhow…by the way…Mr. Chairman ordered………an organization of planning ideas for analysis of an advanced broadcasting station’s system…then send to the Chairman’s office the report on the future direction and progress of the Moon Yong broadcasting station………therefore I decided to assign this task to you…Assistant Jin!!

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi becomes very tense)

 

Hyun Chul: Of course………I will also be joining you on this task………therefore let us see…who will be first………to use the correct measures of time………and grasp the real meanings of life………to present the Moon Yong broadcasting station’s future………

 

Sun Mi: ………all right…it doesn’t matter how many tasks you give me…I will gladly accept all those tasks!! I have a lot of self-confidence in myself!!

 

(After those few days………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi recognize…their outside appearance are very icy cold toward each other………they can see the husband and wife newlywed doll…standing with their backs toward each other…and also every morning Hyun Chul ties his own necktie………every night in their bed…they absolutely make a separation line between them on top of the comforter………and look in opposite directions as they sleep………but every time there is one strange matter that happens………every morning when Hyun Chul and Sun Mi open their eyes………they always wake-up face to face embracing each other………)

#“MORNINGS WITH EVE” STUDIO

 

Young Mi: (With a bright smiling face…she just finished broadcasting the “Mornings with Eve” program………then she sees Sun Mi standing across the way) Hi! Mrs. Jin Sun Mi!!

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi with the a bright smile looks at Young Mi)

 

Young Mi: It is an honor………that Mrs. Sun Mi should come here to watch my broadcast………how are you?

 

Sun Mi: Thanks Miss Heo Young Mi! I’m fine…How about you! How are you doing these days?………a well-known person like you………gives me a pleasant feeling………I am the one who is very honored………

 

(For a moment Sun Mi and Young Mi glance into each other’s eyes)

 

Young Mi: If you don’t mind Mrs. Sun Mi………if you have time, would you like to get some coffee with me?

 

Sun Mi: Thank you Miss Young Mi………of course I have time……….

 

#THE BREAK ROOM

 

Young Mi: (Young Mi fixedly stares at Sun Mi’s facial profile) Mrs. Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Yes, Miss Young Mi………

 

Young Mi: I would like to tell you…“Thank you very much”………

 

Sun Mi: What do you mean?………Why are you suddenly thanking me, Miss Young Mi??

 

Young Mi: Mrs. Sun Mi………you probably already guessed how I got this broadcasting station job………I………actually entered this broadcasting station by parachuting my way in………I tell you truthfully…during the past…I guess I carried my limpid professionalism to gain some false figurehead appearance……….(Young Mi makes a light smile)………oh by the way…Mrs. Sun Mi?? Do you know what my dream was before??

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Young Mi: I wanted to meet somebody like Mr. Director and get married………Mrs. Sun Mi, did you know………for quite some time………I was very jealous of you and absolutely hated you………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi with a faint smile…sips her coffee)

 

Young Mi: I used to always behave and think like this…but now………I have come to think about how selfish I was during those days………my goodness, Mrs. Sun Mi…did you know that I am already classified as an old maid………at my home…my parents are pushing me into blind dates with hopes of finding a marriage match………but now my feeling is………that those kinds of matters aren’t suitable for my feelings or contentment………I think I will just do my work tasks eagerly………and then who knows…someday………the person of my destiny will appear in front of me and beside me………I really have these kinds of feelings………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Young Mi: Mrs. Sun Mi I kind of wonder if you know this…during the past………I seriously watched over you in may ways…if I may say………kind of like… how you carry on your duties as well as what you like doing………and I began to carefully look through these matters…guess what Mrs. Sun Mi… I found out………without any hesitation you eagerly carry on your duties with all your passion and energy…so after I saw your passion for duty…my mind and feelings became very impressed by all matters in many ways…and then I began to think about my work seriously…how I should carry on my duties like you…and suddenly I thought about how you carried on your duties and proceeded…so I decided in my mind that I really should learn from you Mrs. Sun Mi………anyhow…Mrs. Sun Mi…do you remember…when you mentioned some words to me before………once you mentioned to me…about… how I should proceed my duties in my best interest… and also you mentioned to me… how I should seriously think about my duties and proceed to make myself better…in the best way for my future………Mrs. Sun Mi do you remember?………those words you mentioned? After I listened to those words from you………I began to think them over and over…and I began to put these words in my heart and mind…as cherished feelings in my heart………and I began to think seriously and decided not to be a shameful person like I was before………

 

Sun Mi: ………………………………………

 

Young Mi: After I settle my mind in this way…I feel like once again I have just come into existence in this world…I am beginning to see the whole world look different…and then I am beginning to see how foolish a person I was in the past… I have become conscious about how many people looked at me………during the past with those unusual eyes………

 

Sun Mi: Miss. Young Mi………

 

Young Mi: Mrs. Sun Mi you were right………you really know………how much capabilities people have………your eyes really see through people to see their true capabilities………like you mentioned before………I was truly capable of being a talented announcer………and just like you mentioned…this generation really requires an announcer like me………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi makes a soft smile toward Young Mi)

 

Young Mi: Anyhow…Mrs. Sun Mi………I think as soon as possible………I am going to declare myself as a free-lancer………

 

Sun Mi: Oh…are you Miss Young Mi?………

 

Young Mi: Yes, Mrs. Sun Mi………there have already been many places asking me to join their station………(She makes a cute smile)………Well, Mrs. Sun Mi………I should mention this to you………since I will become a free-lancer………in the future…maybe…the Moon Yong broadcasting station will need me………then…the Moon Yong broadcasting will have to spend lots of money and time to keep me………

 

Sun Mi: Yes, I know Miss Young Mi ………probably we will have to………of course there will be… in the future…certainly our broadcasting will need Miss Young Mi’s talented work………and there will be high amount to be paid………Miss Young Mi you surely know………our Moon Yong broadcasting station………would never regret how much it spends on a talented and capable person like you………

 

#LONDON, THE HOTEL FRONT DESK

 

(The last time Hyun Chul and Sun Mi visited London they had overflowing feelings…now…once again Hyun Chul and Sun Mi visit London together………but they have different kinds of feelings this time…Hyun Chul and Sun Mi have been invited by England’s BBC to celebrate the anniversary of their formation…for the sake of Chairman Yun’s orders and for many other reasons………)

 

Hyun Chul: What should we do?? Should we get one room with twin beds………or………should we get two different rooms………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi stares fiercely at Hyun Chul………then Sun Mi’s eyes begin to tear a little)

 

Hyun Chul: If you don’t mind…you decide………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi ignores what Hyun Chul says…at once she swiftly walks away toward the front desk………then she checks into her room)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul with a soft smile also walks toward the front desk and checks into his room)

 

(Hyun Chul and Sun Mi ignore each other…this matter has caused the two of them to look very unfamiliar with each other………then Hyun Chul and Sun Mi side by side step into the elevator………a moment later they arrive at the front of their rooms………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi suddenly hesitate for a moment as they glance sidelong at each other………then without a word Hyun Chul and Sun Mi disappear into their rooms………)

 

#A MONTAGE

 

(Exactly the next day………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s daily routine begin with a tight schedule………they visit the BBC station and look around here and there………they devote their ears to eagerly listening to all matters carefully………they eagerly look around the BBC station………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi are also busy attending many meetings, etc………)

 

(Hyun Chul behaves like he is unconcerned about Sun Mi………but he meticulously and conscientiously puts things in order to take care of Sun Mi………not because Sun Mi is his wife………Hyun Chul carries Sun Mi’s capabilities and talents in order to implant them into many peoples’ minds………for the sake of Sun Mi herself………)

 

(Because of the events that happened in Seoul………Sun Mi’s self-respect is strongly hurt by Hyun Chul’s behavior………those matters have caused Sun Mi to strongly wish…more than anything else…for Hyun Chul to approve of Sun Mi’s natural capabilities and talents………this thought and wish of Sun Mi’s would cause… the expression of Sun Mi’s eyes to shine through more seriously than any other time………and then she would look around at all the business matters more carefully and seriously………to make sure this trip a success)

 

(But in the middle of all this chaos………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi…from time to time sneak a good look at each other………and then accidentally meet each other’s eyes………then Hyun Chul and Sun Mi behave unnecessarily heartless by turning their faces away from each other toward opposite directions………)

 

#EVENING, CELEBRATION OF THE BBC FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY, THE HOTEL HALLWAY

 

(In front of Sun Mi’s room………Hyun Chul walks up and down the hall waiting for Sun Mi to come out of her room………then Hyun Chul hears the sound of the door opening…Hyun Chul turns his head around to see Sun Mi just coming out of her room………)

 

(Her designer gown shows her extremely obstinate individual character and personality………emphasizing elegance and grace………the beautiful female body’s curvy lines………Sun Mi moves her body inside the black evening dress…as the hem of the dress rests down against her knees………her hair is in large waves………and she wears shiny magnificent precious jewelry that harmonize with the dress………Sun Mi’s look causes…Hyun Chul once again to fall into a deep desire………)

 

Hyun Chul: (the expression in Hyun Chul’s eyes become very unordinary………Hyun Chul slowly looks up and down at Sun Mi’s body…)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi turns her face away from Hyun Chul to avoid Hyun Chul’s glance………she stands near Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: Je Uhn………it is sister-in-law’s design??

 

Sun Mi: Yes………

 

Hyun Chul: ………………………………

 

Sun Mi: We should go??………(Sun Mi steps toward the elevator)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul slowly follows after Sun Mi… then) Oh my goodness, why suddenly do I have a throbbing pain in my head………

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: Aaaa~~~~~~~~~~~~Aaaaa~~~~~~~~ oh my goodness~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi ignores Hyun Chul’s behavior and she continue to walk toward the elevator)

 

Hyun Chul: Didn’t you hear me?………I have a headache!!!!

 

Sun Mi: Well, then…you better go inside your room and rest………I will attend the party by myself and then come back………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh, I see………what you are saying is that it doesn’t matter…whether I am sick or not………you mean…you really don’t care if I am sick…you are unconnected to the matter about me…right………(Hyun Chul quickly steps forward in front of Sun Mi)………in fact………if there is still some left over task not completely finished yet…I should remain until that task sees victory or defeat with Jin Sun Mi …right………well, Jin Sun Mi you do remind me good…my headache doesn’t matter to you and it is no big deal for you………all right, I get it………maybe my body will become broken or destroyed………but probably even that doesn’t matter to you…right Jin Sun Mi………therefore…I should take my body and persist at this task………until my last moment………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi stops walking………then she stares fixedly at Hyun Chul with a displeasing regrettable glance…)

 

#THE BBC, FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY PARTY

 

(There is a famous well-balanced tradition and reputation………there is dignity and refinement………after celebrating and honoring the BBC’s foundation………the magnificent and splendid party spreads out onto the grounds of the rear garden………there are many well-known and famous people standing all over the place………the atmosphere of this place becomes ripe in the climax…)

 

(Suddenly Hyun Chul and Sun Mi can hears sounds of someone calling out Hyun Chul’s name………at the same time………Hyun Chul and Sun Mi turn around and look toward the place where the voice is coming from………)

 

(Standing there is a very attractive looking Asian female………she approaches closer toward Hyun Chul with an extremely glad and happy gesture………then she stretches out her open arms to embrace Hyun Chul………and then she kindly places short kisses on both of Hyun Chul’s cheeks………)

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hyun Chul: Yen!! How are you!! Long time no see!!

 

Yen: (She looks at Hyun Chul…top to bottom) Hyun Chul!! How are you?………You look very splendid!………well, what I am saying…of course you were always a pretty good looking person in the past too………

 

(These two people become linked together in conversation at their happy reunion)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi feels very uncomfortable………she turns her head around to look at the other side)

 

Hyun Chul: Oh…by the way I better introduce you two………

 

Yen: (From the expression of Yen’s eyes…she becomes very curious………Yen stares fixedly at Sun Mi)

 

Hyun Chul: I will introduce this side first………this is………

 

Sun Mi: (Before Hyun Chul can introduce Sun Mi to Yen………Sun Mi steps forward toward Yen) Hello, How are you?………I am from the Korean Moon Yong broadcasting station………my name is Jin Sun Mi………it is nice to meet you………excuse me………if you don’t mind………I will excuse myself first………good bye………(then Sun Mi walks away from Hyun Chul and Yen)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s facial expression makes a quiet smile)

 

Yen: Hyun Chul………if I am not wrong………she looked at me with a very uncomfortable behavior………I have a strange feeling………that she…that she does not particularly like me at all………well, Hyun Chul…I may misunderstand…but her behavior shows………that the two of you………have some kind of very close relationship…do you??………Hyun Chul??

 

Hyun Chul: Yes, Yen………she is my wife………

 

Yen: Huh!!

 

Hyun Chul: Mmm………

 

Yen: (She nods her head) By the way…Hyun Chul………I kind of feel………that the atmosphere between you two is not ordinary………if you don’t mind………may I ask………are you two………in the middle of some kind of lover’s quarrel??

 

Hyun Chul: (He smiles quietly) Well, I guess you can say that………but more correctly………I should explain the truth of the situation………you should look it at as………really………right now…I am giving her………some kind of business training………because after some time………she will be taking my place……….as the person who will be leading the Moon Yong broadcasting station………..

 

#THE HOTEL, SUN MI’S ROOM

 

(Sun Mi continues to feel unordinary………as soon as Sun Mi gets off the elevator………with a swift step………Sun Mi quickly walks toward her room………a moment later Sun Mi opens the door and is ready to step inside her room………behind Sun Mi………suddenly Hyun Chul appears and pushes Sun Mi from behind and steps together with Sun Mi into her room………)

 

Sun Mi: (From her facial expression…she has become completely angry) What is matter with you?………What are you doing now?………

 

Hyun Chul: (He shuts Sun Mi’s room door)

 

Sun Mi: Please get out of my room!!………I have to rest!!

 

Hyun Chul: From now on………we are completely finished with all these business matters!!………Finished!! The end!!………This mean………you should know………that once again between us should be…back to the Husband and Wife relationship………do you understand Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: If you don’t mind………I am asking you Hyun Chul………please leave my room immediately!!

 

Hyun Chul: Well, Sun Mi………if I answer, “No I can’t leave this room”………then what are you going to do about it?………(Hyun Chul walks toward Sun Mi………then Hyun Chul with all his strength pulls Sun Mi toward him and wraps his arms around Sun Mi’s waist)

 

Sun Mi: (Bang!! Bang!! Sun Mi hits Hyun Chul’s chest………and pushes Hyun Chul away from her)………Leave me alone!!………Who gave you permission to do this kind of behavior toward me!!

 

Hyun Chul: Well, me………I gave myself permission to do what ever should please me………do you know why………because you are my woman………(Sun Mi tries to get away from Hyun Chul’s tightly closed arms………but Hyun Chul with all his strength tries to embrace Sun Mi more tightly………then he runs his lips against Sun Mi’s lips)

 

Sun Mi: (She tries to turn her head away from Hyun Chul…this way and that way to avoid Hyun Chul’s kiss) Didn’t you hear me Hyun Chul!!………I am not welcoming you!!………I don’t feel like seeing you right now!!

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tightly holds onto Sun Mi’s chin………then makes Sun Mi’s face turn toward him) Jin Sun Mi………Are you jealous now??………You are?? Right??

 

Sun Mi: No, I am not!!

 

Hyun Chul: What do you mean “No”………I can see it on your face………all over your face is written that you are jealous right now………

 

Sun Mi: What kind of inappropriate remark is this?

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s expression shows a pleased satisfied smile) I have become very much aware of the sentiment………this has made my feelings become very good………

 

Sun Mi: What!! What did you just say!!………Did you just say you are feeling good!!………How can you talk like that!!………(Sun Mi gathers all of her energy………and with all of her strength she strikes Hyun Chul………)………You make me sick………you make me feel this awful terrible feelings and ruin my feelings all day………and you say you feel good!!………How dare you!!………(During this time………Sun Mi’s displeased feelings pour out all at once…and at that moment………finally Sun Mi explodes with tears)………I don’t feel like seeing you!!………I hate you!!……….Huuuuuhhh~~~~~~~~~~ I really hate you!! Huuuuhhh~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul takes Sun Mi’s struggling body and holds her in a firm embrace………then he lays his cheek next to Sun Mi’s cheek) Sun Mi Aaa~~~

 

Sun Mi: Huuuuuuhhhh (She sobs)~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hyun Chul: I knew her when I was studying abroad in England………she was just a friend………she immigrated to France………she has 1.5 Chinese blood………that means one of her parents was only half Chinese while the other was full Chinese…she mentioned that her husband also works in broadcasting public relations………that is why they came to this place………because they both received invitations to attend this celebration honoring the BBC foundation………that is why she was here………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: This is enough of an explanation for you, right??………Do you need more of an explanation Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul gently brushes Sun Mi’s hair with his hand) I thought I might interfere with our business tasks………that is why I tried to behavior by keeping you at a distance………this kind of behavior must have caused you to feel heartless and displeased with me………right…

 

Sun Mi: (Her facial expression turns red) Who~~~who said I was?

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul tries to pull Sun Mi out from his chest………then his gentle eyes look at Sun Mi)……….Oh you do not………does this mean………you are not disappointed or feel heartless toward me??………Are you sure you are not angry with me………Hmm?? (Hyun Chul’s eye expression becomes eagerly mischievous looking)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi stealthily………avoids Hyun Chul’s glance)

 

Hyun Chul: Ah Hah~~~~~~~I can’t endure myself anymore………during the past days I carried myself to study like a monk………and to devote myself to eagerly taking care of business matters………tonight is our last night in this place………if you don’t mind………I will devote myself to giving you all my passion………all right Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul makes a sidelong glance at Sun Mi’s bed) the bed is so small and narrow………Guess what?? I think I will feel more affectionate………

 

(Hyun Chul slowly guides Sun Mi toward the bed………then Hyun Chul places his arms to support Sun Mi’s back as Sun Mi inclines her body………together they lay their bodies down on the bed………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul’s slender fingers………brushes Sun Mi’s abundant hair………as he looks down at Sun Mi with deep and strong expressions in his eyes………the atmosphere makes Hyun Chul and Sun Mi’s gorgeous figures pose dazzling………)

 

Sun Mi: (Hyun Chul’s gentle helping hands touch Sun Mi………like always Sun Mi begins to feel very warm………Sun Mi’s entire body begins to tremble all around with fear………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul without rushing………with his soft and gentle helping hands he slowly touches Sun Mi’s body all over to start making love to Sun Mi………Hyun Chul step by step in order………first removes Sun Mi’s earring and then Sun Mi’s necklace) Well, let me ask you Sun Mi… tonight………what kind of proposition will you give me………that is…how will you impress or inspire me to make my feelings become pleased……… this matter could cause………me to take one step back and withdraw myself…from this competition………how about it Sun Mi??

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul you already know what my answer is going to be………you don’t really need my answer…do you………

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul stubbornly moves closer to Sun Mi’s body………then his lips become full with excitement and hotness) Sun Mi I am asking you………lead me into your temptation………Jin Sun Mi you can seduce me as much as you like………

 

(Inside is pitch-dark………as Hyun Chul and Sun Mi call each other………to be joined together in making body gestures in temptation………in this familiar foreign country………their last night in England………the night passes by this way………)

 

#CHAIRMAN YUN’S OFFICE

 

Sun Mi: Father, were you looking for me………

 

Chairman Yun: Yes, I was………I called you because………today I need to discuss a very important matter with you………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Chairman Yun: Well, before I begin to discuss this matter………I guess I should compliment you………on your planning ideas that you sent here………I found contentment in every matter………really when I sent you with Director Yun to England………I just wished for you two to travel with an open field of view to visit and look around England’s BBC and then come back………but you put things in order and proceeded to prepare these planning idea documents………without even my expectation………

 

Sun Mi: Huh?? (Hyun Chul clearly mentioned………that Chairman Yun ordered this task………)

 

Chairman Yun: Your delicate and subtle writing penetrates deeply in these documents………with a very concise and compact style………well………I had already recognized your skill and concentration before………and then here you are…you even know how to take a good look at the future and forecast ideas to come………you know how to observe and examine the future………and also you have that kind of knowledge and intelligence………Hahahaha………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi mutters inside herself………Yun Hyun Chul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

Chairman Yun: Well, I guess………long ago………I should have entrusted the Moon Yong broadcasting station to your charge………

 

Sun Mi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Chairman Yun: I have decided to call Director Yun’s main office………and then………I wish for you take Director Yun’s place to lead Moon Yong broadcast station………what do you think about this matter Sun Mi………

 

Sun Mi: Father………

 

#THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE

 

(Sun Mi appears in front of Hyun Chul’s office………she quietly opens Hyun Chul’s office door and steps inside………inside Hyun Chul’s office, darkness has already come in………all the people have already left their offices for the evening………this causes the atmosphere of this place to be very silent………)

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi leans against Hyun Chul’s office door………and gazes at Hyun Chul)

 

Hyun Chul: …………………………………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi’s big round eyes become filled with tears………then without being aware………tears begin to drop down Sun Mi’s eyes………)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul slowly gets up from his chair………then he walks toward Sun Mi)

 

Sun Mi: If you don’t mind………Mr. Director………do me a favor…please… let me look at those documents with your planning ideas?………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh, I am sorry Sun Mi………I don’t have any planning idea documents………

 

Sun Mi: ……………………………………

 

Hyun Chul: Starting from the beginning with this task………I thought I would just take charge to promote Jin Sun Mi higher and stimulate Jin Sun Mi………what I mean…is that is the kind of role I thought I would take………but when I thought about this matter more………I thought I should try to stimulate and motivate you more………so I decided to make sure and expand your knowledge about the broadcasting station………and in the middle of all that………more importantly…I should proceed to bring fire into your affection and knowledge………because in the future Sun Mi………you will be the one… who will lead this Moon Young broadcasting station………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Sun Mi I am sorry………I feel like I have placed a large burden on your shoulders………as a matter of fact………I really feel very regrettable toward you…I am also very concerned and worried about you………

 

Sun Mi: (Sun Mi with a long step walks closer to Hyun Chul………then at once her body crumbles down into Hyun Chul’s arm)

 

Hyun Chul: (Hyun Chul embraces Sun Mi’s crumbling body tightly)

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………I don’t have the self-confidence to do this………really I don’t………

 

Hyun Chul: No, Sun Mi………I know…you have plenty of self-confidence………and also you have much affection and knowledge………therefore…Sun Mi don’t even mention those kinds of words…all right………you should know…I have much confidence in you………

 

Sun Mi: No, Hyun Chul…I don’t think so………I don’t think I can take charge of your place…not like this…in such an extraordinary and important position………and also this place without you………I would be left all alone to take care of these kinds of extraordinary business matters………oh my goodness………Hyun Chul I don’t think I can………really I don’t………

 

Hyun Chul: Don’t be afraid Sun Mi………the first time I took charge of this place and came to work…I thought the same way as you…but………sometimes the place makes people get used to it………and Sun Mi…I will always be there by your side………like now………I am going to watch over you all the time………

 

Sun Mi: Hyun Chul………

 

Hyun Chul: Oh boy…after you take this position…I wonder…what my Sun Mi’s appearance will look like………well, it is good to be dignified and strong………but I really don’t wish…you to appear in front of all those employee with…the appearance of an ugly boss…looking tough, stiff and with an ill-natured temper………well, surely not…right Sun Mi…there is no way…you can be a boss without sense and style…right………and also…Sun Mi…in front of me………don’t change any your appearance about yourself………you just show me the same appearance like always………like now…because of my love…you will have nothing to regret but you can just crumble endlessly down into my arms…..….and desire to need me………this kind of woman………I will always prefer to have…and really desire and need………
