Scene 1: Yun-Hee's Anxiety in the Hotel Room
(After Mr. Kim leaves, Yun-Hee returns to her hotel room, but she can't seem to sit still. Her heart is restless, torn between fear and something else—an unfamiliar feeling that unsettles her.)
(She stands in front of the mirror, staring at her own reflection. The confusion in her eyes is undeniable. Mr. Kim's intense gaze, his possessiveness, and that mysterious smirk—everything about him is unsettling her. She runs a hand over her face and takes a deep breath. Just then, her phone rings. The screen flashes—Si-Woo.)
(Yun-Hee hesitates for a second but then picks up the call.)
Si-Woo (angrily): "Yun-Hee! Why haven't you been answering my calls? I've been trying to reach you!"
Yun-Hee (in a low voice): "Si-Woo… I need to see you. Now."
Si-Woo (concerned): "What? Are you okay?"
Yun-Hee: "I can't talk right now. Just meet me at a café."
(Without waiting for a response, she cuts the call and hurriedly grabs her jacket. Her hands are slightly trembling as she leaves the hotel and takes a taxi to Conoffee café.)
Scene 2: Meeting Si-Woo at "Conoffee" Café
(Yun-Hee sits alone in the café, her coffee untouched and cold. Her mind is a whirlwind of emotions. A few minutes later, Si-Woo walks in, scanning the place before spotting her. As soon as he sees her face, his worried eyes soften slightly.)
Si-Woo (grinning, teasingly): "What's wrong? Don't tell me you're falling for Mr. Kim?"
(Yun-Hee glares at him. Si-Woo chuckles, but when he sees the seriousness in her eyes, his smile fades immediately.)
Si-Woo (growing serious): "Alright, tell me what's going on."
(Yun-Hee tells him everything—how Mr. Kim stopped her, spoke about marriage, took her phone away, and his overbearing presence. Si-Woo listens attentively, his expression darkening.)
Si-Woo (angrily): "Who the hell does he think he is? He can't just claim you like that!"
Yun-Hee (softly, nervously): "Si-Woo… he's not just anyone. I'm scared."
(Si-Woo reaches across the table and holds her hand. His touch is warm, reassuring. Yun-Hee looks at him, her eyes filled with uncertainty.)
Si-Woo (in a low, steady voice): "You're not alone, Yun-Hee. I'm with you."
*(For a moment, Yun-Hee just stares into his eyes. Her heartbeat quickens. Was this just friendship… or something more?)
Scene 3: Meeting Mr. Kim's Assistant – The Truth
(Si-Woo suddenly remembers that he has Mr. Kim's assistant's contact number. Without wasting time, he dials the number. After a few rings, the assistant picks up.)
Si-Woo: "Hey, we need to meet. It's important."
Assistant (hesitant): "Why?"
Si-Woo: "It's about Yun-Hee."
(There's silence on the other end, then finally, the assistant sighs.)
Assistant: "Fine. Meet me at Conoffee café."
(A little later, Yun-Hee and Si-Woo sit across from Mr. Kim's assistant, who looks nervous.)
Si-Woo (getting straight to the point): "Does Mr. Kim always do what he says?"
Assistant (hesitating, then nodding): "Yes… he does."
Yun-Hee (shocked): "What do you mean?"
Assistant (lowering his voice): "Everyone in his family fears him. Going against him isn't easy. And… people say that those who betray him don't survive."
(Yun-Hee and Si-Woo exchange a tense glance. This wasn't just talk—Mr. Kim wasn't someone to take lightly.)
Scene 4: Decision – Love or Captivity?
(The afternoon sun is setting as Yun-Hee and Si-Woo pack their things. Yun-Hee's heart is pounding as she finally gathers the courage to call Mr. Kim.)
Mr. Kim (answering immediately, with a slight smirk in his voice): "I was wondering when you'd call."
Yun-Hee (nervously): "I… I'm coming."
(A pause. Then, Mr. Kim's voice drops lower, sending a chill through her spine.)
Mr. Kim: "Good. I've been waiting for you, Yun-Hee."
Yun-Hee (gathering courage): "But… Si-Woo is coming with me."
(This time, the silence is longer. When Mr. Kim speaks again, his voice is deeper, unreadable.)
Mr. Kim: "Both of you can come. But remember… what's mine, stays mine."
*(Yun-Hee's heart skips a beat. Was that a warning… or a threat?)
