Without You

 

##NaYeon&JiSoo’s Dorm_NaYeon’s Room##

+NaYeon is staring blankly at the wall+

 

 

 

 

 

 

What…
Just happened…?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##HanGuk University_Outside the Library##

+SungJae is smoking+

+NaYeon runs outside and looks around+

+SungJae sees NaYeon looking around+

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where is he?
Is he already gone…?

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon sees SungJae looking at her+

+She runs towards SungJae+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Yoo, Yook SungJae!”

 

SungJae “What.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

I should probably say sorry right…?
I mean, if he gets mean enough…
He’ll probably make me pay to fix his broken arm…
And…
I’ll be SO bankrupt…

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “I’m sorry.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae throws his cigarette onto the ground and steps on it+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “What are you always so sorry for?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Huh…?
Oh,
is he asking what I did wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “… (Looks at SungJae) …? Oh, oh! You mean what did I do wrong today? Oh, yeah, so… you know… I should’ve helped you with your homework, you know, because, I am, indirectly, the reason… you broke your arm… but I was just sitting at the library having a good time with my boyfriend… when you were there too. Sorry for making you feel bad.”

 

SungJae “(Looks at NaYeon) is that a sin?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

A sin…?
I never really thought of it to be…
a sin or anything…
Geez I don’t know what else I did wrong…

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Huh…?”

 

SungJae “Having a good time with someone you like, isn’t a sin.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then WHAT did I do wrong?!?
Does he expect me to keep guessing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Then why’d… you leave…”

 

SungJae “Because it’s someone you like. When someone you like, is sitting right next to you… you can’t NOT have a good time. Right?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, so get to the point…
What did I do wrong…
And why are you so mad?
Can we please finish this conversation
so that I can get back inside…?
It’s rather chilly outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Ye, yeah… is this a trick question…?”

 

SungJae “I understand. Just meeting eyes with someone you like, just being beside someone you like, just breathing the same air as someone you like… can make you happy. I get that.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah…?
 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “But what pisses me off…”

 

NaYeon “(Looks at SungJae) yeah…?”

 

SungJae “Why I couldn’t stand being in that room…”

 

NaYeon “(Concentrates)”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes…???
Are we coming to a conclusion now???

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “is that… (looks at NaYeon intensely) that person is Kim TaeHyung, and not me.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon looks at SungJae in surprise+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Huh…??”

 

 

 

 

 

 

What did I just hear…?
Because it’s TaeHyung…
and not him??
What’s that supposed to mean??

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “What do you mean-“

 

 

 

 

 

 

+SungJae passes by NaYeon and starts walking over to the parking lot+

+NaYeon turns around and looks at SungJae walking to the parking lot+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “What the…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why…
Do I keep getting the wrong idea…?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##HanGuk University_Library (1)##

+NaYeon walks into the library, looking totally out of it+

+TaeHyung is working on his assignment+

+NaYeon sits in front of TaeHyung+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “(Grins widely) did you have a good talk?”

 

NaYeon “Huh? Ye, yeah…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well we TALKED…
I just can’t quite understand…
What the conversation meant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung looks at NaYeon+

+NaYeon looks rather frustrated+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Why~? He said he won’t forgive you? Or rather, us…?”

 

NaYeon “Not exactly…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

For some odd reason…
I didn’t want to tell TaeHyung.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “Ahh who cares, let’s just go back to doing our assignments!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

For some odd reason,
if TaeHyung found out…
I felt like it would hurt him a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##HanGuk University_Pathway##

+NaYeon and TaeHyung are walking together, holding hands+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “(Happily) ah~ it’s so nice out~”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon is walking, still staring into space+

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel so bad for TaeHyung…
But what Yook SungJae said…
keeps bothering me…
It almost felt like…
He…
confessed to me or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung looks at NaYeon with a big grin+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Maybe it’s the side effects from getting hit by that shelf… (sad face) you seem so out of it…”

 

NaYeon “(Snaps back to reality) huh? Oh, I’m sorry…”

 

TaeHyung “(Looks at NaYeon’s eyes) I want to stay and be with you for longer… but you seem to tired.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon looks at TaeHyung+

+As they meet eyes, TaeHyung smiles even wider+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “I guess I’ll have to let you go for today.”

 

NaYeon “(Smiles slightly) get home safe, TaeHyung.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I’m sorry TaeHyung…
For thinking of someone else
in your presence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung turns around and walks a few steps+

+NaYeon watches TaeHyung as he walks away+

+TaeHyung stops and turns around+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Im NaBong.”

 

NaYeon “Hmm??”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why’d he turn around?

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “I really like you. (Slight smile) more than you can imagine.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung looks at NaYeon’s eyes+

+NaYeon gets surprised and starts blushing+

 

 

 

 

 

 

NaYeon “(Shyly) gosh… that was so… unpredictable…”

 

TaeHyung “… (smiles widely) it just came to my mind, thinking of going home and not being able to see you for a while.”

 

NaYeon “(Still blushing) …”

 

TaeHyung “I’m really going home now~~”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung turns around and starts walking towards the school+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##NaYeon&JiSoo’s Dorm_Kitchen##

+NaYeon starts in with a blank face+

+JiSoo is digging into her bowl of ramyun+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiSoo “NaSoong~ you’re here~”

 

NaYeon “Huh? Yeah…”

 

JiSoo “Did something else happen to you today?? Why are you so out of it?? So many things are happening to you today…”

 

NaYeon “Oh, it’s nothing. I guess I’m just tired from this morning…”

 

JiSoo “Gosh~ who would’ve ever expected to get attacked by a shelf…”

 

NaYeon “I know right… story of my life… why are you home so early? I thought you said you had plans…”

 

JiSoo “Yeah… we parted early… thanks to SOMEONE.”

 

NaYeon “Who…??”

 

JiSoo “I don’t know… I think it’s a girl.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+NaYeon looks at JiSoo, confused+

+JiSoo looks at her, pouting+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##Fried-Chicken Place near HanGuk University##

+JiSoo and JiMin are waiting for their food to come out+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiSoo “Who would’ve ever expected Mr. Park JiMin-ssi to ask me to dinner. What’s the occasion?”

 

JiMin “…I just found a chicken coupon while cleaning my room.”

 

JiSoo “I see…”

 

JiMin “Well, we did get the coupon together… so I thought it was etiquette to use it with… you.”

 

JiSoo “(Emotionlessly) oh how considerate of you.”

 

JiMin “…Should I not have done so?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiSoo looks at JiMin+

+JiMin looks at JiSoo back+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “If you’re offended, I-“

 

JiSoo “It’s fine! Gosh!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

//

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiSoo and JiMin are enjoying their meal+

+JiSoo gets a phone call: Kim JinWoo Oppa+

+JiSoo looks at her phone, then flips it over+

+JiMin watches JiSoo carefully+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “You can answer it.”

 

JiSoo “No it’s fine…”

 

JiMin “Why not?”

 

JiSoo “Huh?”

 

JiMin “Isn’t it that guy… that you were eating dinner with last time? That blind-date guy?”

 

JiSoo “… Just eat your meal.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+An awkward silence+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “What, is it not going too well?”

 

JiSoo “What’s it to you~ geez, stop asking~”

 

JiMin “Have you never had a boyfriend before? I think Im NaYeon said she’s never had one either… are you guys both-“

 

JiSoo “W, wha, what are you talking about! I’ve had MANY boyfriends before!”

 

JiMin “Okay then.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin smirks to himself, then continues to eat his food+

+JiSoo looks at JiMin with a pout+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “…so why is your friend Im NaYeon,”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiSoo looks up at JiMin+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “so understanding of TaeHyung’s situation?”

 

JiSoo “What?”

 

JiMin “Most people… when they hear TaeHyung’s rumors… tend to distance themselves from him… but I was just wondering where NaYeon gets her infinite trust in TaeHyung from.”

 

JiSoo “Hmm… NaYeon… has her stubborn sides. When I say stubborn, I don’t mean it in a negative way… but once she thinks someone is a good person, she can’t think otherwise. No matter what anyone else says.”

 

JiMin “How can she make such decisions, I know they’re dating… but even before then, she barely knew him.”

 

JiSoo “She’s just like that~ I guess it’s based on first impressions? She was like that for me too. She said she knew that I’d be a good friend since she first saw me… (Laughs in embarrassment) which, was her only misjudgement.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin stares at JiSoo+

+JiSoo laughs to herself+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “I guess she has better judgement skills than she seems.”

 

JiSoo “Huh?”

 

JiMin “Never mind.”

 

JiSoo “…what the…”

 

JiMin “I wish those thoughts of Im NaYeon’s… (Looks out the window) stay like that… eternally.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiSoo looks at JiMin with interest+

+JiMin looks out the window, looking very concerned+

+JiMin gets a phone call – (unknown number)+

+JiMin looks at his phone+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiSoo “Are you not going to answer that?”

 

JiMin “…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin hesitates, then picks up his phone+

 

 

 

 

 

 

JiMin “(On the phone) hello.”

 

??? “(Over the phone) Park JiMin?”

 

JiMin “…I can tell who you are, just by your voice. Unfortunately.”

 

??? “(Laughs) are you with TaeHyung?”

 

JiMin “Why.”

 

??? “I want to meet up with him.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+JiMin freezes in place+

+JiSoo looks at JiMin, confused+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##HanGuk University_Library (1)##

+TaeHyung is looking at the door+

+TaeHyung gets a phone call – CHIM <3+

+TaeHyung picks up immediately+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “Hello?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung looks very concerned+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

##HanGuk University_Outside the Library##

+TaeHyung walks out of the building, talking to JiMin on his phone+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “So what do we do now?”

 

JiMin “You must’ve had a plan, when you sent it.”

 

TaeHyung “So… does she want to meet up?”

 

JiMin “Yeah.”

 

TaeHyung “… tell her okay.”

 

JiMin “… I’ll go over to school. You’re still at the library right?”

 

TaeHyung “Yeah…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung hangs up the phone and puts his cellphone in his pockets+

+TaeHyung sees SungJae and NaYeon talking on his way inside+

 

 

 

 

 

 

TaeHyung “(To himself) they’re still talking…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung heads towards the library+

 

 

 

 

 

 

SungJae “Because it’s someone you like.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

+TaeHyung stops his steps and looks towards SungJae and NaYeon+
