Face the reality

Ken was in his office, deeply immersed in a stack of projects. His desk was cluttered with blueprints, contracts, and various documents awaiting his signature. The hum of activity in the office was a constant reminder of the numerous tasks demanding his attention. Despite the chaos, Ken felt a sense of accomplishment. Next week, they were set to begin constructing the dream home of their clients, Mrs. Laude and Simon, on Jeju Island.

Every detail had been meticulously planned and approved. Ken remembered the numerous meetings with Mrs. Laude and Simon, discussing their vision for the perfect home. They had poured over every aspect, from the architectural style to the finest interior details. Now, with all the permits and approvals in place, the project was ready to move forward.

The upcoming week would mark the beginning of the construction phase, a crucial and exciting step in bringing the dream home to life. Ken felt a surge of anticipation. This project was more than just another job; it was a testament to the team's hard work and dedication. As he signed the last document for the day, Ken couldn't help but smile, knowing that soon, Mrs. Laude and Simon's dream would start to take shape on the beautiful Jeju Island.

KEN'S OFFICE - DAY

Ken is seated at his cluttered desk, engrossed in signing documents. The office is a hive of activity. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door.

LISA:
(through the door)
Ken, you have a visitor.

KEN:
(without looking up)
Who is it, Lisa? I'm kind of in the middle of something here.

Lisa opens the door slightly and steps in.

LISA:
It's Vina. She says she needs to see you.

Ken looks up, visibly surprised.

KEN:
Vina? What is she doing here?

LISA:
She didn't say, just that it's important.

Ken takes a deep breath, trying to mask his surprise and curiosity.

KEN:
Alright, send her in.

POV:
Ken and Vina had once been the perfect couple. Their love story seemed destined for a fairy-tale ending, with friends and family eagerly awaiting their wedding. However, their romance came to an abrupt halt five years ago when Vina's infidelity shattered Ken's trust. Heartbroken, Ken ended the relationship and decided to move on with his life.

Vina, on the other hand, was quick to find a new boyfriend, yet she never fully let go of Ken. She believed that Ken still harbored feelings for her, clinging to the notion that his single status was a sign of his lingering love. Despite her new relationship, Vina's jealousy and possessiveness towards Ken remained unabated.

Ken had indeed moved on, but not in the way Vina imagined. He threw himself into his career and hobbies, finding solace in his work and personal growth. He wasn't interested in dating, preferring to focus on building a life that brought him peace and fulfillment.

Ken is working at his desk when Vina enters the office. As soon as he sees her, he immediately asks:

KEN
(annoyed)
What do you want?

VINA
(bitchy)
My friend saw you at the hotel last week. You seemed happy with the other woman.

Ken stands up, anger boiling beneath his calm demeanor.

KEN
(firmly)
Why are you asking this? You don't have the right.

VINA
(smirking)

I still like you, Ken.
