The midnight I met him

the midnight I met him pre final

        Mrs. Lee: (gently places Haneul on a healing mattress, made by their ancestors) Don't worry, Yuna. This mattress will help him recover.

Yuna: (worriedly) Will he be fine, Mrs. Lee? He used so much power...

Mrs. Lee: (smiling softly) Haneul is strong, Yuna. He'll be okay. The mattress will help him regain his strength.

Joonoh: (concerned) But what about Vector? We can't just leave him like that...

Mrs. Lee: (firmly) Don't worry about Vector. He's not going anywhere. (looks at the stone statue) He'll stay like that until we figure out what to do with him.

Yuna: (tearfully) I was so scared... I thought I was going to lose him...

Mrs. Lee: (comfortingly) You won't lose him, Yuna. Haneul will be okay. (puts a hand on Yuna's shoulder)

Haneul: (stirs on the mattress, his eyes fluttering open) Yuna...

Yuna: (overjoyed) Haneul! Oh, thank goodness! (rushes to his side)

Haneul: (weakly) Yuna... I'm sorry... I was so weak...

Yuna: (smiling) You're not weak, Haneul. You're strong. You saved me.

(The scene ends with Yuna holding Haneul's hand, Mrs. Lee and Joonoh looking on with relief and concern)
                        
           Haneul: (concerned) Y...Yuna, how did you get hurt on your arm? Did I bite you?

Yuna: (dismissively) Oh, this? It's nothing, Haneul. Don't worry about it.

(Yuna reaches out to touch Haneul's head, but he flinches away)

Haneul: (desperate) Yuna, pls stay away from me! I don't want to hurt you again!

Yuna: (confused) Haneul, what's wrong? You're not going to hurt me.

Haneul: (anguished) I already did! I bit you, Yuna! What if I lose control again?

Mrs. Lee: (calmly) Haneul, you're not going to hurt Yuna. You're safe now.

Haneul: (bitterly) Safe? I'm not safe! I'm a monster!

Joonoh: (firmly) Haneul, you're not a monster. You're our brother.

(Haneul looks away, his eyes welling up with tears)

Yuna: (softly) Haneul, I'm not afraid of you. I love you.

(Haneul's eyes snap back to Yuna, his expression torn between fear and longing)
                  
      Haneul: (desperate) Yuna, don't say that! You don't know what I'm capable of!

Yuna: (firmly) I do know, Haneul. I know you'd never hurt me on purpose. You saved me from Vector, remember?

Haneul: (anguished) That was just a coincidence! I was lucky, that's all!

Mrs. Lee: (interrupting) Haneul, stop this. You're not a monster. You're our son, and we love you.

(Haru, who had been quietly observing from the side, steps forward)

Haru: (calmly) Haneul, hyung, I know what you're going through. I've seen it before.

Haneul: (bitterly) You don't know anything, Haru!

Haru: (gently) I know what it's like to struggle with your powers, to fear losing control. But I also know that you're strong enough to overcome it.

Joonoh: (firmly) We're all here for you, Haneul. We'll help you through this.

Yuna: (softly) Haneul, please... let me touch you. I want to comfort you.

(Haneul hesitates, then slowly nods. Yuna reaches out and gently strokes his head, and Haneul leans into her touch, his eyes closing in relief)

Haru: (smiling) See, Haneul? You're not alone. We're all here to support you.

Mrs. Lee: (smiling) That's right. We're a family, and we'll face this together.

(The scene ends with Haneul surrounded by his loved ones, his eyes closed in acceptance)
           
          Yuna: (excitedly) I never thought I would get to touch a wolf up this close! (laughs)

(The others join in, laughing and teasing Haneul about his wolf form)

Haneul: (laughs, his eyes still closed, enjoying the moment)

(As Yuna continues to touch his head, Haneul suddenly feels a surge of energy and his body begins to shift)

Yuna: (surprised) Haneul, what's happening?!

Haneul: (gritting his teeth) Ahh... I think I'm... changing back...

(Haneul's body begins to transform, his wolf form receding as he returns to his human self)

Yuna: (startled) Oh! Haneul, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...

Haneul: (smiling weakly) No, Yuna... thank you... you helped me come back...

Yuna: (confused) What do you mean?

Haneul: (gratefully) Your touch... it brought me back to myself... I was lost in my wolf form...

Mrs. Lee: (tearfully) Oh, Haneul... my son...

Haneul: (smiling) Mother... I'm okay... thanks to Yuna...

Joonoh: (smiling) Yeah, Yuna's like a wolf whisperer or something!

Haru: (laughing) Yeah, who knew?

Yuna: (blushing) Shut up, guys... it was nothing...

Haneul: (serious) No, Yuna... it was everything... thank you... And since you helped me I would like to give you something

Yuna: And what's that .......
