(Rose goes to school and has a conversation with Kai)
Kai: "Hey, Rose, what's wrong? You look upset."
Rose: "Lui didn't go to school this week. He's been ignoring me... I don't know what happened."
Kai: "Don't worry, Rose. He just needs space. He'll come back around. Right now, he just needs some time to himself."
(Lui is shown laying in bed, staring at the ceiling without blinking)
Mother: "Lui, I didn't like the way you spoke to your father last Saturday. That's not the morals I taught you."
Lui: (silent)
Mother: "If that peasant of a girl Rose is the problem, I'll take care of it. You won't like it."
Lui: (thoughtful) If Rose finds out about who my parents are... our friendship will end for sure.
LATER THAT DAY
(Lui is in his father's study room, trying to apologize)
Father: Lui, I've told you before - you must stop being friends with Rose. She brings our family's name down by associating with you.
Lui: (angrily) You're saying that because you're embarrassed about me having a friend who isn't as perfect as you.
Lui: Dad, I can't believe you're making me do this. Rose is my best friend, she's always been there for me.
Father: Lui, I've told you before. Rose is not the kind of friend you should have. She's a bad influence on you and our family's reputation.
Lui: Our family's reputation? What about my feelings? Don't they matter to you at all?
Father: Your feelings should never come before our family's name, Lui. It's time you start thinking about what's important.
Lui: You know what, Dad? I can never be like you. I can never turn my back on someone who's always been there for me.
Father: Well then, if that's your decision, you leave me no choice. From now on, you are forbidden to see Rose. Is that clear?
Lui: No, Dad. That's not clear at all. You can't control who I choose to be friends with.
Father: We'll see about that, Lui. We'll see.
LATER ON LUI FIND OUT THAT HIS LEAVING TO PARIS TO CONTINUE SCHOOL THERE.HE WANTED TO DEAL THINGS WITH ROSE FIRST.
[The scene is set at a hotel, where Lui has invited Rose to spend his birthday with him. They are sitting on the couch, holding hands.]
Rose: (apologetically) Lui, I'm so sorry for keeping secrets from you.In our friendship, there's a bond of trust so strong that it feels like we can share anything and everything. But sometimes, life throws us curveballs that require a little discretion, and I find myself holding onto secrets that weigh heavily on my heart. It's not that I don't want to share; it's just that some things are meant to be kept for the time being, perhaps for your own good or to protect something precious. Please know that my silence doesn't mean I value our friendship any less—it simply means I'm navigating through some complexities that I hope to reveal when the moment is right. Your understanding means alot to me Lui.
Lui: (calmly) It's okay, Rose. I overreacted a bit.
Rose: (nervously) Yeah...I guess.
Rose was confused that Lui had nothing else to say but is just calm.
[They sit in silence for a moment]
Lui: (smiling) You know, I never thought I'd spend my birthday with you like this.
Rose: (smiling back) Me neither.
Rose: (gathering courage) Lui, can I tell you something?
Lui: (curious) What is it?
Rose: (taking a deep breath) I...I think I have feelings for you.....
"In the quiet corners of my heart,
A secret blooms, an uncharted art.
Like whispers carried on the breeze,
Your smile ignites a gentle tease.
With every laugh, a spark ignites,
In the tapestry of days and nights.
You are the sun that paints my skies,
The twinkle in my dreams, a sweet surprise.
I've watched you from a distance, dear,
Each moment shared, each word I hear.
But now the silence must break free,
To share the truth that lives in me.
So here I stand, both shy and bold,
With words like petals, soft yet gold.
I confess to you, beneath this moon,
My heart has danced to a hopeful tune.
If you could see what I hold inside,
The warmth, the light, where love can't hide,
Would you take this chance, take my hand,
And together, let's explore this land?
Whether as friends, or something more,
I hope you'll find what your heart can adore.
For in this'm ready to share this feeling with you.
Lui: and???( looking straight into her eyes)
Rose: ummm... I-..I don- (pouting)
Lui grabs Rose by the neck and and stares deeply in Rose's eyes and..... PASSIONATELY KISSED HER
Rose was shocked but shrugged it of and kissed him back.The kiss was getting heated now.
Lui: let's get something straight before we go any further (he growl's) doesn't mean I'm making love to you means you got your answer Rose.
