Chapter 6 - Unfinished Introductions

INT. CAR - EVENING

(Sun-woo and Ma Ha-rin are seated in the front seats, ignoring one another, while Sun-woo and Kim Seo are chatting amongst themselves. Suddenly...) Sun-woo: By the way, Miss Kim, where are we headed? Kim Seo: We need to go to the hospital. Sun-woo: Why? Is someone admitted there? Kim Seo: Yes, my... Ma Ha-rin: Wait! Can't someone talk to *me* too? You two just keep talking on and on! Sun-woo: (Glaring at Ma Ha-rin; *thinking to himself*) Couldn't she have waited just a little while? Kim was just about to reveal who it was! Ma Ha-rin: (Looking at Sun-woo) What's the matter? Why are you staring at me like that? Sun-woo: Nothing. Kim Seo: Can't you just stay quiet for once? Ma Ha-rin: Fine! From now on, no one speaks—is that okay, Sir? Sun-woo: (Making a face) Yes, that will be fine. Ma Ha-rin: Ha. (Nodding, she then turns her face toward the car window; Sun-woo continues to watch her for a few moments.) A short while later...

CUT TO:

out .International Daehan University Hospital . evening 

(They arrive at the hospital. Kim Seo and Ma Ha-rin step out of the car, followed by Sun-woo.) Kim Seo: Thank you, Sir. We're heading inside now. Sun-woo: Yes, I'm coming inside too. Ma Ha-rin: Why? Sun-woo: Why? Am I not allowed to come inside? Ma Ha-rin: It's not that... but why are you following us? We can go on our own. Kim Seo: Wait, Ma Ha-rin! Let him speak—let him explain why he wants to come inside. Sun-woo: Exactly! I'm not following *you*. I have a friend here, and I want to go see him. So, don't flatter yourself too much. Ma Ha-rin: Fine. Come on, Kim. (They both head inside first, leaving Sun-woo behind.) Sun-woo: (Watching them go) She'll never change. Even back in childhood, she acted exactly like this. (Flashback) (At the playground, all the kids are playing—including Kim and Ma Ha-rin—when Sun-woo and Hyun-woo arrive.) Hyun-woo: (Approaching Kim Seo) What are you doing? Ma Ha-rin: (Annoyed) Oh, look—you two showed up again? (Hyun-woo:) And *you*... "Why are you following her around? And you won't even tell us your name! And—" (to Sun-woo) "Does this lackey of yours always have to be glued to your side?" Sun-woo: "What is your problem? You're her lackey yourself, aren't you?" (An argument breaks out between the two sides.) Hyun-woo: (To Kim Seo) "I'll tell you my name only if Seo agrees to be my friend." Kim Seo: "Stop following me! I don't want to be friends with you. Come on, Rin—that's enough now." (She takes Seo by the hand and starts to walk away.) Ma Ha-rin: "Yeah, let's go. Goodbye, 'Anonymous' and 'Lackey'!" (She calls them by childish nicknames as she addresses them both.)

Sun-woo: (Laughs as he recalls the flashback, then heads inside.) Oh, that girl...

int . .International Daehan University Hospital .

(Both of them enter Junu's ward.)

Kim Seo: "Hi, Junu! How are you?" Junu: "Oh, so you two finally made it?" Ma Ha-rin: "No, actually, we're still at home." Junu: "Can't you ever give a straight answer to a question?" Kim Seo: (Sitting on the chair beside Junu's bed) "Are you okay? Did Dr. Hyun tell you anything? Do you know when you'll be discharged?" Junu: "No, he didn't tell me anything. In fact, his behavior has been really strange for the past two days." Ma Ha-rin: "What? Strange behavior? How?" Kim Seo: "Is he bothering you?" Junu: "It's nothing like that... He's just been calling me by my full name for the last two days, and he even asked me how I know you. I tried to explain, but before I could say anything, he got angry and just walked away. All of this started right after he met you. Is something going on between the two of you?" Kim Seo: (Hesitating) "No... I met him for the first time right here at the hospital. Just ignore him." Junu: "Yeah, but you're telling the truth, right? If there's any kind of trouble, please let me know." Kim Seo: (Hesitating) "No..." Ma Ha-rin: (To herself) "Now I get it—the doctor is jealous! Could there be some kind of misunderstanding regarding Junu?" (To both of them) "Kim, I'm just going to go see Dr. Hyun for a moment." Kim Seo: "Why?" Ma Ha-rin: "To ask when Junu will be discharged." Kim Seo: (Gesturing) "Okay, but don't mess anything up, alright?" Ma Ha-rin: "Got it." Junu: "Why did you say that?" Kim Seo: "Oh, just because. You know how she is, right?" Junu: "Yeah, fair enough." [Cut]

(Sun Woo, looking for Hyun Woo, asks a nurse for directions.)

Sun Woo: "Excuse me." Nurse: "Yes? Do you need any help?" Sun Woo: "Yes, where is Dr. Hyun Woo?" Nurse: "He is in his office." Sun Woo: "Alright, thank you." (The nurse leaves; Sun Woo approaches Dr. Hyun's office and knocks on the door.) Sun Woo: "May I come in?" Dr. Hyun Woo: (Sitting in his chair) "Yes." (Sun Woo enters; upon seeing him, Hyun Woo stands up in surprise.) Dr. Hyun Woo: (Calmly) "How are you here?" Sun Woo: "Actually, I came here with my sister-in-law, Kim Seo." Dr. Hyun Woo: (Softly) "What?! You told her that we're brothers? Why did you do that? You've ruined the whole plan!" Sun Woo: "Calm down. I didn't tell her anything; just relax." Dr. Hyun Woo: "Even so, why did you come here?"Dr. Hyun Woo: "Still, why did you come here?" Sun Woo: "Well, I thought that by coming here, I'd find out who he is—but I can't, all because of that Ma Ha Rin." Dr. Hyun Woo: (Confused) "Yeah... Is he her brother? Or her boyfriend?"

(Everyone at the hospital is busy with their respective duties when Ma Ha Rin approaches Dr. Hyun's cabin and knocks on the door.) Ma Ha Rin: "May I come in, Dr. Hyun?" Sun Woo: "That voice sounds familiar... Yes, it's Ma Ha Rin." Hyun Woo: (Softly) "Is she here? You stay quiet now." Sun Woo: "Okay. But where?" Ma Ha Rin (to herself): "Dr. Hyun isn't saying anything... Is he not inside? Should I just go in and check?" (Ma Ha Rin enters the cabin.)
