Friday

Bong Soon wakes up to 2 notifications and is shocked by them

Bong Soon: Omo Min Ho and Soo Hyun followed me.....What could this mean...no time to think about this I'm late

She leaves home early and is dropped off at the spot she ran into Mi Nam the previous day.She patiently waits for her and she eventually shows up

Mi Nam:(shocked) Bong Soon !?

Bong Soon: (smiling)You're finally here.

Mi Nam :What are you doing here?

Bong Soon: I told you yesterday I'd see you today.

Mi Nam: Why ?

Bong Soon : Im walking you to your school today.

Mi Nam:Why though...?

Bong Soon: I saw you weren't comfortable yesterday, I just wanted to show you I'm not like other people from my school.

Mi Nam: You didn't have to.Now I feel bad

Bong Soon:Well don't be I also want to ride the train.

They both laugh

Bong Soon: Okay let's get going we're getting late.

They ride the train and walk to Mi Nam's school

Mi Nam: Thank you ,you're really nice.

Bong Soon :Aish don't thank me ,are you free tomorrow you could have dinner with us .My mom says I need more girl friends.

Mi Nam: Well....

Bong Soon: Come on please,my parents would love you .

Mi Nam:(smiling)Okay.

Bong Soon: Give me your address Mr Cho will come pick you up.

Mi Nam :No give me the address I'll come on my own.

Bong Soon: Are you sure?

Mi Nam:Yes I'm sure.

Bong Soon: At least give me your phone number.

Mi Nam:Okay,(they swap phone numbers)Don't get lost!

Bong Soon: (running off )I won't I'm using my GPS .

She gets on the train and from afar she spots someone she didn't expect to see.

Bong Soon: (surprised) Omo that's Min Ho.He uses the train?

Random lady:What's wrong with the train?

Bong Soon: (embarrassed)Nothing ma'am.

She spends the whole ride hiding from him. He doesn't even notice her as he's listening to music and using his phone.They reach their destination and she waits for him to get off first then she exits the train.She starts walking behind him keeping her distance.

Bong Soon: Aish at the rate he's walking we'll be late.

Min Ho starts using a route which is different from the one on Bong Soons GPS

Bong Soon: Omo he's going the wrong way....Could it be a shortcut.....I wonder where he's going....No Bong Soon use the route....

Curiosity gets the best of her and she ends up following Min Ho.He keeps on using routes which lead nowhere near the school and Bong Soon keeps on following curiously .He turns at this other street and she follows him . As soon as she turns she's pulled and pinned against the wall.

Min Ho: Why are you following me?

Bong Soon:(embarrassed) Well...I...I

Min Ho:(leaning in)What?

Bong Soon: I'm using your shortcut.

Min Ho: Which shortcut?

Bong Soon: The one you're using.

Min Ho:Who said I'm going to school?

Bong Soon: You're in your uniform .

Min Ho: If you hadn't noticed you've just skipped school the first period is over now

Bong Soon: (checking her watch) What!!!My mom is going to kill me ...I should've stuck to my route....im so stupid

Min Ho: You've got that right .

Bong Soon: (sobbing )You're not helping

Min Ho: Was I supposed to?

Bong Soon: I thought you're my friend now?

Some lady comes out of the house they are standing at and startles them

Lady: (shouting)Omo what are you doing here?...Did you skip school?..Aigoo kids of today..

She starts chasing them and they run away

Min Ho: Ahh now this is living.

Bong Soon: You call getting chased by an angry woman living.

Min Ho: Yes ,now wait (he removes Bong Soons tie)

Bong Soon: What was that for?

Min Ho: Do you want to get chased by more people(as he's about to remove her blazer she stops him)

Bong Soon :I can do it myself .

Min how removes his blazer and tie and puts it in his bag.

Bong Soon: (now walking)But hey how did you know I was following you.

Min Ho: (laughing) You are no ninja.

Bong Soon: When did you see me?

Min Ho:(smirking) That doesn't matter ,let's go(dragging her)

Bong Soon: I can walk on my own.

Min Ho :I know.

Bong Soon: So stop dragging me.

Min Ho: I don't want to.Anyway we're here.

Bong Soon :(stopping at an old restaurant)Where exactly is here?

Min Ho drags her in the shop.Its old and a bit run down.An old woman comes out to greet them

Woman:(walking up to them)Welcome!

Min Ho: Grandma!!

M.H grandma:Omo Min Ho what are you doing here?

Min Ho: (smiling) I came to see my favourite lady.

Grandma:Aish this silly boy .And who's this...

Bong Soon: Hi ma'am I'm Bong Soon.

Grandma:What kind of name is that

Min Ho: (laughing) An adorable one.

Bong Soon glares at him

Grandma:But hey isn't today Friday?

Bong Soon: (smiling) Yes it is ma'am

Min Ho:(addressing Bong Soon) Aishh you're so stupid.

Grandma:(shouting angrily) So you skipped school !!(grabbing his ear)You little rascal !

Min Ho: (in pain)Ouchh grandma please let me go!

Bong Soon laughs

Grandma :Did you get my grandson to skip school?

Bong Soon: Well ...actually...ma'am (she grabs her ear as well)

Grandma: Aigoo kids of today ,you little ungrateful rascals. Are your parents sending you to expensive schools just so you can skip.

Both:No ma'am !

Grandma: Just you wait and see I'll call your parents.

Min Ho: Grandma don't .

Grandma: Are you talking back to an elder?

Min Ho:No ma'am ,but please.

Bong Soon: (pleading with him)PLEASE!!

Grandma: You should've thought about that when you were thinking about skipping school.

Min Ho:I'm sorry !We'll do anything .

Grandma: ANYTHING?

Bong Soon: Yesss

Grandma: (letting them go )Mmm okay then.I nolonger have help so you could clean this place up ,it's been a while .

Both: What!?

Grandma: You heard me!now get started. I'm going to sleep wake me up when you're done(she goes off)

Min Ho: You heard her ,start cleaning .

Bong Soon: (chuckles) Do I look like your maid ?

Min Ho: (teasingly) No she looks better than that.

Bong Soon : Either way I'm not doing this on my own.

She splits the chores between the two of them. Min Ho eventually helps her clean the shop. After hours of slaving off they finally finish cleaning the place just in the nick of time as Grandma wakes up

Grandma: Aigoo it looks as good as new.

Min Ho: You know your grandson has the magic touch.

Grandma:Little fool I saw her doing most of the work.

Min Ho: (chuckles) You must be going blind.

Grandma: (addressing Min Ho) Should I smack you..(addressing Bong Soon) Anyways let's make something to eat I'm hungry.

Bong Soon: (shy)I'm not a good cook.

Grandma: Aigoo where did you find yourself a girlfriend who can't cook

Bong Soon:He's.....

Grandma: Nevermind ,Min Ho will help me.

They cook then have their meal. Grandma kicks Min Ho and Bong Soon out when when her customers start entering

Grandma: Go on now, i dont want to be caught helping you skip school.

They leave the restaurant. As they are exiting Bong Soon gets a video call from Myung Soo

Myung Soo: Heyy

Bong Soon:Hey ,how are you?

Myung Soo: Forget about me what's up with your look.Are you getting bullied.

Bong Soon: No I'm not,I was just doing some work.

Myung Soo: What's work?Didn't you go to school?

Bong Soon: Forget about that where's Shin.

Myung Soo:(annoyed) Do I ever ask you where Min is when I call you?

Min Ho:No need I'm right here.

Myung Soo:(mad)What!!! What are you doing with her?

Min Ho :We skipped school together.

Myung Soo: (shocked) What ?

Bong Soon :He's lying..

Myung Soo:(confused) Isn't that grandma's shop?

Min Ho :(smirking) Spot on we've just cleaned it.She says hi.

Myung Soo: What's happening ?

The call gets disconnected

Bong Soon:(smacking him)Did you have to tell him that.

Min Ho:I just told him the truth.

Bong Soon :Look now he won't stop texting and calling me .

Min Ho : Is their trip that boring that he has so much time to call you ?

Bong Soon:No he just cares.

He grabs her phone and switches it off.

Min Ho:Problem solved.

Bong Soon: (pissed off)Arghh

MEANWHILE Soo Hyun is at school suspicious of why both of them didn't come to school.

Min Ho: Lets get out of here we look like pigs.

Bong Soon: Pigs?

Min Ho :Yes, you more than me .(wiping her lip)You even eat like a pig.

Bong Soon: (Just stares at him)

Min Ho: Stop day dreaming let's go.

Bong Soon: Where ?

Min Ho: (grinning) A place where we can get cleaned up .

Bong Soon: (curious) And where is that?

Min Ho: You'll see when we get there.

They arrive at a public bathing center .

Min Ho:(smiling) We'll clean up here.

Bong Soon: What!

Min Ho: Is it too low class for your fancy self?

Bong Soon: (shocked) No I just...

Min Ho:Save it let's go in ,I feel disgusting.

Bong Soon: Same here.

They bath and change into the clothes there .

Min Ho: Ahh don't you just feel fresh.

Bong Soon: (looking around) I do ,I really do

Min Ho:Is it your first time at a place like this ?

Bong Soon: Yeah it's my first time

Min Ho:I'm glad I'm the first one to take you here.I thought my brother had beaten me to everything.

Bong Soon: (confused) What?

Min Ho:(chuckles )He must've taken you to a cheesy place like the movies.

Bong Soon: (defensive) What if I like cheesy things.

Min Ho: (annoyed) You really don't see any fault in that little guy do you.

Bong Soon: Well he was annoying at first but once I got to know him,he actually surprised me.

Min Ho: If you get to know me you'll be surprised too.

Bong Soon: You're already a puzzle to me,anyway why does that matter.Are we spending the rest of the day here ?

Min Ho: Yes what's wrong with it.

Bong Soon: Nothing I'm just asking.

Min Ho: I'll show you how to have fun in one place. But first I've got something to do. Where's your phone?

Bong Soon: I've got it right here.

Min Ho :(snatching it from her)Thank you let me check on something .

Bong Soon:(pissed off) Give it back to me

Min Ho:(laughing) You didn't bother to change your password.

Bong Soon: (fighting to get it back) You're such a nuisance .

Min Ho: (smirking) Great to see my picture is still the last picture you took.

Bong Soon: (embarrassed) Give it back!

Min Ho takes another selfie with her not prepared again.

Bong Soon: (annoyed) Not again!

Min Ho takes another selfie but just of himself

Min Ho:(acting cute) This one is for you .

Bong Soon :(annoyed) You suck

She storms off and goes to the woman's sona. Min Ho goes to the men's sona.He sits there for a couple minutes then goes to the woman's sona

Bong Soon: (surprised) What are you doing here?

Min Ho: (sitting next to her)I was getting bored sitting alone.

They continue sitting in the sona till it starts getting extremely awkward. Then..

Bong Soon: (lying)I'm hungry bye I've got to go

Min Ho exits then stops her

Min Ho :It's still early for you to go home ,they'll know you skipped school. Plus I told you you can do alot here that includes eating let's go.

They go and eat ,soon after a friendly woman comes over and starts talking to Bong Soon.

Friendly woman:So.....is this your boyfriend ?

Bong Soon: No he's...

Friendly woman:( cutting her of)Ladies she's not his girlfriend!

Suddenly a group of Ladies hover over Min Ho and shove Bong Soon aside. They act like she doesn't exist and start hitting on Min Ho.

Woman #1:So how old are you?

Min Ho: (shy)18

Woman #2:He's so handsome

They start showing him pictures and he seems to be enjoying this.He's thrilled to see the pissed look on Bong Soon' s face.

Woman#3:This is my daughter she's perfect for you her take her number ...

Woman #4:No this is my granddaughter she's 16 but she'll like you anyway...

Woman #6:This is me I'm 26 but we can make it work.

The women start fighting over him like he's the last piece if meat.Bong Soon wonders off into a little corner.

Bong Soon: (sulking)What's so special about him....Let me call Mr Cho and tell him where I'm at.....(looking at Min ho)Look at him enjoying being around so many woman....(looking at his selfie) I guess he is kinda cute....(hitting herself)Stop having such stupid thoughts....let me play a game that'll cheer me up.

Bong Soon starts playing a game then Min Ho comes over a couple minutes later.

Min Ho: (grabbing her phone)Lets leave before they come back.

Bong Soon: (mocking him)So now you want to leave weren't you enjoying this?

Min Ho: (grabbing her)Lets goo!

Bong Soon: Okay okay let me grab my things .

They then exit the place

Bong Soon: (checking time on her phone ) Look school is already over and I'm still here .This is all because of you and those ladies.

Min Ho: (laughing) You should've just told them that you are my girlfriend .

Bong Soon: (annoyed ) Now why would I do that?

Min Ho: Because I LIKE YOU
