Soo joong: rise and shine.

HE KISSED HER CHEEK AND PUSH THE SCATTERED HAIR ON HER FACE AWAY AND SMILE, HE FELT SO HAPPY TELLING HER THOSE WORDS

Valentina: (mumbles sleepily) no, let me sleep.

Soo joong: do you know what the time says?

Valentina: 7 O' clock?

Soo joong: no, 9: 30.

SHE JUMPS UP IN SHOCK

Valentina: what?!!, it wasn't long I checked the time, I just said let me rest a while and it's 9:30 ?

Soo joong: why don't we take the day off?

Valentina: we've been taking too many days off, don't you think people would notice I'm not there and so are you?

Soo joong: do I look like I care?

Valentina: and you'll still pay me for doing nothing.

Soo joong: well, if I don't pay you, won't people get suspicious?

Valentina: hmm, true.

Soo joong: so let's take the day off.

HE BEGIN TO KISS HER NECK

Valentina: Soo joong, I just woke up..

THEY FALL ON THE BED

............

IN FRONT OF A ICE CREAM STAND

SOO JOONG WENT TO GET SOMETHING AND VAL IS WAITING FOR HIM, SHE PICKS HER PHONE TO CHECK THE TIME THEN SHE HEARD HER NAME, SHE TURNS TO SEE JOHN

Valentina: John?! what are you doing in Korea?

John: I came looking for you, please can we talk?

.......

THEY SAT ON A BENCH

John: I'm sorry for all the pain that I caused you, please can you forgive me, I still get hunted by what I did.

Valentina: (smiles) don't worry, I've forgiven you

John: (shocked) what??

Valentina: yeah, you've suffered enough, coming to korea to look for me and all, you deserve my forgiveness.

John: can we start again, on a clean slate, we could start dating again and...

Valentina: (cuts in) I've forgiven you but I won't come back to you, right now you are just my best friend, I.. I'm in love with someone else, I really love him a lot and I will do all I can to get his love.

SOO JOONG COMES TO WHERE THEY ARE WITH A BAG IN HAND AND A SCARF AROUND HIS NECK

Soo joong: you're here and I was searching for you.

Valentina: Soo joong, this is John, my best friend and my ex

SHE STANDS, HE LOOKED AT JOHN AND WAS FILLED WITH ANGER, THAT HE WAS THE ONE WHO HURT VAL AND JEALOUSY BECAUSE DAYUM, JOHN WAS A FINE MAN, TALL, BROWN SKINNED, CURLY HAIR, BROWN EYES, POINTED NOSE AND A MUSCULAR BODY, NOT LIKE HE WAS HANDSOME TOO, HE WAS TALL, TALLER THAN JOHN, ASIAN, POINTED NOSE, STRAIGHT BLACK HAIR, AND HE WAS MUSCULAR BUT THEN HE FELT LIKE HE HAD SOME COMPETITION

John: nice to meet you (stretches his hand)

SOO JOONG LOOKED AT THE HAND AND IGNORED IT

Soo joong: nice to meet you too.

HE FACED VAL, REMOVED HIS SCARF AND WRAPPED IT ROUND VAL'S NECK

Soo joong: you might catch a cold.

Valentina: (touching the scarf) I won't.

SOO JOONG PULLS HER BY THE WAIST AND KISSES HER, HER EYES WIDEN UP IN SHOCK, SHE WASN'T EXPECTING THAT, HE RELEASES HER

Soo joong: let's go.

HE INTERTWINE HIS FINGERS WITH HERS

Valentina: well, John.

John: (cuts in) johnny, you've always called me johnny..

Valentina: (smiles) well, johnny, I have to go, I'll chat you, bye.

THEY LEAVE WITH THEIR FINGERS INTERTWINE

JOHN COULD JUST LOOK AT THEM WITH A SAD FACE

......

IN THE CAR

Soo joong: why do you wanna chat him up

Valentina: come on, before he was my ex, he was my best friend, I've forgiven him as it is, so we are starting on a clean slate.

Soo joong: well, if you're fine with it.

Valentina: why didn't you shake him when he extended his hand?

Soo joong: I didn't want to.

Valentina: (smile) why did you kiss me in front of him?

Soo joong: I don't know, ok, I just felt like showing him you were mine, so he shouldn't try.

Valentina: so you were jealous.

Soo joong: I wasn't.

Valentina: you were.

Soo joong: I'll like to start driving now.

SHE GIGGLED AMD HE STARTED THE CAR ...
