Scene 1 — The Days Without Her
Three days.
It had been three days since YN last came to school.
To others, it was just an absence.
To Kim Taehyung—
It felt like something inside him had gone missing.
He sat in his usual seat, his eyes unconsciously drifting toward the empty desk.
Her desk.
Always her desk.
Even when he tried not to look—
He still did.
Taehyung (thinking quietly):
Maybe she's sick…
A pause.
Or maybe… she just doesn't want to come.
His fingers tightened slightly around his pen.
Across the classroom—
He saw Suho.
Calm.
Normal.
As if nothing had changed.
And suddenly—
A memory hit him.
Flashback — A Moment He Couldn't Forget
Suho (smiling softly):
"I missed you."
YN (laughing lightly):
"We met yesterday."
Suho (leaning closer):
"Still… I missed you."
Taehyung stood just a few steps away.
Close enough to hear everything.
Far enough to mean nothing.
Back to Present
Taehyung looked away.
Quickly.
As if the memory itself burned.
Taehyung (thinking, bitter):
Of course… she's with him.
A hollow laugh escaped his lips.
Taehyung:
Why would she ever choose me?
The bell rang.
Students started talking again.
But Taehyung heard none of it.
Because deep down—
He already knew.
This story… was never his.
Scene 2 — The Wedding Day
The room was silent.
Heavy.
Like even the walls knew something was ending.
Taehyung sat on the edge of his bed, dressed in formal attire, his phone resting loosely in his hand.
The screen was lit.
And on it—
Her.
YN.
Smiling.
Carefree.
Beautiful in a way that had nothing to do with makeup.
Taehyung stared at the picture for a long time.
Too long.
Taehyung (whispering softly):
"I guess this is it…"
His thumb brushed lightly across the screen.
As if he could feel her.
Taehyung:
"This is the end, Kim YN…"
His voice broke slightly.
Taehyung:
"We were never meant to be."
A tear slipped down silently.
He didn't wipe it.
Taehyung (breathing unsteadily):
"Maybe…"
A pause.
Taehyung:
"Maybe in another life…"
His eyes closed slowly.
Taehyung:
"It'll be us."
A knock broke the silence.
His mother's voice came from outside.
Mother:
"Taehyung, come on, dear! Everyone is waiting."
A pause.
Mother (softly):
"You haven't even seen your bride yet."
Taehyung let out a quiet breath.
His expression hardened.
Taehyung (firm, emotionless):
"I don't care how she looks."
His grip tightened around his phone.
Taehyung:
"My heart…"
A pause.
Taehyung (whispering):
"…belongs to only one person."
His eyes flickered once more to the screen.
Taehyung:
"Kim YN."
And then—
He turned it off.
Scene 3 — The Walk to the Altar
Each step felt heavy.
Like he was walking toward something irreversible.
Something he didn't want—
But couldn't stop.
The hall was filled with people.
Voices.
Smiles.
Celebration.
But Taehyung felt none of it.
To him—
Everything was muted.
Distant.
Unreal.
He stood at the altar.
Straight.
Still.
Like a man who had already accepted defeat.
Scene 4 — The Entrance
The doors opened.
A soft gasp spread across the room.
Everyone turned to look.
The bride entered.
Slow.
Elegant.
Dressed beautifully.
But Taehyung—
Didn't move.
Didn't look.
Didn't care.
Because no matter who she was—
She wasn't the one he wanted.
Scene 5 — The Vows Begin
The bride reached him.
Her presence was close now.
Too close.
His father gently placed her hand into his.
Father:
"Take care of my daughter."
Taehyung nodded faintly.
Taehyung (flat, distant):
"I will."
Scene 7 — The Kiss
Priest:
"You may kiss the bride."
Taehyung hesitated.
For a second—
It felt wrong.
But then—
He reached for her hand.
And pressed a light kiss against it.
Careful.
Distant.
Avoiding everything that made it real.
Scene 8 — Reception (Empty Moments)
Time passed.
But Taehyung didn't feel it.
People congratulated him.
Laughed.
Smiled.
But he only nodded.
Answered when needed.
Nothing more.
Once—
The bride tried to speak.
Bride:
"Taehyung—"
But someone interrupted.
Pulled her away.
Taehyung didn't stop them.
Didn't even look.
Because facing her meant accepting it.
And he wasn't ready.
Scene 9 — Leaving Together
His mother handed him the keys.
Mother (smiling):
"You must be tired. Go home and rest."
Taehyung nodded.
Taehyung:
"…Let's go."
He walked ahead.
Not checking if she followed.
Just assuming she would.
Because now—
She had to.
Scene 10 — The Car Ride
Silence.
Heavy.
Uncomfortable.
Taehyung sat in the driver's seat, eyes fixed ahead.
The road blurred slightly—
But he didn't notice.
Beside him—
The bride sat quietly.
Her hands clasped together.
Nervous.
She looked at him.
Once.
Twice.
Waiting.
Hoping.
But Taehyung never looked back.
Finally—
She reached out.
And lightly shook his arm.
Taehyung shut his eyes for a moment.
Then spoke.
Cold.
Controlled.
Final.
Taehyung:
"Listen."
A pause.
Taehyung:
"Whoever you are…"
His grip on the steering wheel tightened.
Taehyung:
"…miss."
His voice held no warmth.
Taehyung:
"I was forced into this marriage."
Silence.
Taehyung:
"So don't expect anything from me."
His jaw clenched slightly.
Taehyung:
"Keep your distance."
The words hung in the air.
Sharp.
Painful.
Scene 11 — The Voice
For a moment—
There was nothing.
Just silence.
Then—
A voice.
Soft.
Shaking.
Familiar.
??:
"…Taehyung…"
Everything stopped.
The car.
The world.
His breathing.
Taehyung's eyes widened.
That voice—
It wasn't unfamiliar.
It wasn't distant.
It was—
Scene 12 — The Reaction
Taehyung turned sharply.
Too fast.
Too sudden.
His heart started racing.
Taehyung (whispering, stunned):
"…What…?"
He stared at her.
Trying to process.
Trying to understand.
Trying to believe.
