*Interior - Min-ji's Bedroom - Night*

Min-ji is lying in bed, finally feeling relaxed after her conversation with Jisoo. Just as she's about to drift off to sleep, her phone beeps, lighting up with a message from Woo-jin. She groans and reaches for her phone.

**Woo-jin's Text**: *"Sorry for disturbing you so late. I just wanted to check if your knee is still sore?"*

Min-ji rolls her eyes, a mischievous smile creeping onto her face. She sees this as the perfect opportunity to push Woo-jin's buttons.

**Min-ji's Reply**: *"Great. Just when I was about to fall asleep, your stupid message beep woke me up. Now my knee hurts even more. I'm struggling to sleep here!"*

The three little dots appear, indicating Woo-jin is typing a response. Min-ji chuckles to herself, already picturing him getting flustered.

**Woo-jin's Text**: *"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to wake you. Please forgive me, Min-ji. Is your knee really that bad? Should I come over?"*

Min-ji giggles, but keeps up the act.

**Min-ji's Reply**: *"Bad? I'm afraid I won't be able to walk anymore! What if I end up in a wheelchair?"*

There's a pause before Woo-jin's response comes in, clearly rattled.

**Woo-jin's Text**: *"Nothing like that will happen! I'll take you to a doctor right now. Please don't worry!"*

Min-ji, feeling extra mischievous, decides to take it a step further.

**Min-ji's Reply**: *"It's too late, Woo-jin. I can't even move now. By tomorrow, my legs might be paralyzed forever!"*

This time, there's no immediate response. The dots appear and disappear, then nothing. Min-ji smirks, thinking she's finally gotten on his nerves. She places her phone down, celebrating silently.

**Min-ji**: (whispering to herself) "Finally, he's had enough of me. Tomorrow, I'll hear that the wedding is off for sure."

Just as she's about to relax, she hears something strange-a siren approaching. It grows louder, stopping right outside her house. Min-ji frowns, sitting up in bed, confused.

**Min-ji**: "What the...?"

Before she can process it, she hears her mom's startled voice downstairs, followed by hurried footsteps. The door to her bedroom bursts open, and there's Woo-jin, looking frantic.

**Min-ji**: (gasping) "Woo-jin?! What are you doing here?"

Woo-jin rushes to her bedside, his face pale with worry.

**Woo-jin**: "Min-ji, don't worry! We're going to the hospital right now. I won't let anything happen to you!"

Before she can protest, he sweeps her up into his arms, as if she weighs nothing. Min-ji's eyes widen in shock.

**Min-ji**: (flustered) "Woo-jin, I'm fine! It's not that bad! Put me down!"

But Woo-jin isn't listening. He's practically sprinting down the stairs, holding her securely as he apologizes to her bewildered parents.

**Woo-jin**: "I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Park! I won't let anything happen to her. We're going to the hospital right away!"

Min-ji's parents stand frozen in the doorway, eyes wide as Woo-jin carries Min-ji out to the waiting ambulance. The flashing red lights and blaring siren add to the surreal scene. Min-ji's dad scratches his head, looking utterly confused.

**Min-ji's Dad**: "Did Woo-jin have a nightmare or something? Why is he acting like it's a life-or-death situation?"

**Min-ji's Mom**: (shaking her head) "I have no idea, but we need to follow them to the hospital. Something's definitely going on."

As Woo-jin gently places Min-ji into the ambulance, she's too stunned to protest further. He climbs in beside her, holding her hand reassuringly as the paramedics close the doors and the ambulance speeds away with the siren wailing.

**Min-ji**: (wide-eyed) "Woo-jin... you really didn't need to do all this..."

**Woo-jin**: (determined) "I'm not taking any chances with your health, Min-ji. Just hang in there, okay?"

Min-ji stares at him, half-exasperated, half-touched, as the ambulance races through the night. Meanwhile, back at the house, Min-ji's parents exchange baffled looks before rushing to their car, ready to follow the ambulance to the hospital, still not fully grasping what just happened.

**Min-ji's Dad**: (getting in the car) "If Min-ji's legs aren't broken, I might break them myself after all this chaos..."

**Min-ji's Mom**: (sighing) "Let's just hope she's okay. Woo-jin really loves her, doesn't he?"

As the car speeds after the ambulance, Min-ji can only think one thing-how in the world did a little late-night mischief lead to this?

Minji looked at Woo-jin, who is hovering over her with an expression of sheer panic. The paramedic, a seasoned professional, is checking her vitals with practiced efficiency.

**Woo-jin**: (nervously) "Min-ji, you need to stay calm. I'll pray for you."

He starts muttering Bible verses, his hands clasped tightly in prayer. Min-ji, trying to get a word in edgewise, glances at the paramedic, who is maintaining a stoic expression.

**Min-ji**: "Woo-jin, I'm really fine! I don't need-"

**Paramedic**: (glancing at Woo-jin) "She looks fine to me."

**Woo-jin**: (cutting in) "You can't decide that she's not hurting! Only God knows how she's truly feeling."

The paramedic raises an eyebrow, clearly struggling to maintain her professionalism amidst the chaos.

**Paramedic**: (to Min-ji) "Is this young man always like this? Does he need a check-up himself?"

Min-ji, seeing Woo-jin's intensity, decides to cough dramatically, hoping to make her point. Her cough comes out with exaggerated flair, almost like a stage performance.

**Woo-jin**: (eyes widening) "Oh no! Min-ji, are you having a heart attack? Or a stroke? Should I start CPR? What's the procedure-"

**Paramedic**: (sighing heavily) "For God's sake, just stay calm. She is fine. She's just coughing."

Woo-jin, panic-stricken, looks around for any possible life-saving equipment.

**Woo-jin**: "Should I administer an EpiPen? Or the defibrillator? Where's the defibrillator?"

**Paramedic**: (exasperated) "There is no need for any of that! Just breathe, okay?"

The paramedic tries to continue with her checks, but Woo-jin's anxiousness is unrelenting. He begins to recite more Bible verses, his voice trembling.

**Woo-jin**: "Oh Lord, please save her. She's in your hands now-"

**Min-ji**: (trying to suppress laughter) "Woo-jin, stop. I'm really okay. It's just a bit of a dramatic scene you've created here."

**Paramedic**: (shaking her head) "I'll let you two sort this out. I'm going to check on the other patients. Please, try to keep him calm."

The paramedic exits, leaving Woo-jin still in full panic mode, clutching Min-ji's hand as if it's the last lifeline on earth. Min-ji looks at Woo-jin, unable to hold back her laughter any longer.

**Min-ji**: "Woo-jin, you're kind of adorable when you're panicking. But seriously, I'm fine. Your over-the-top concern is appreciated, but let's dial it down a notch."

Woo-jin's face slowly returns to its normal color as he hears Min-ji's reassurances. He sits down next to her, still looking worried but slightly relieved.

**Woo-jin**: "I'm just trying to be a good fiancé. I didn't mean to cause a scene. I just..."

**Min-ji**: (smiling) "I know. And it's sweet in a very chaotic way."

As the ambulance continues its journey, Woo-jin and Min-ji share a moment of understanding amidst the lingering chaos. Min-ji's parents, having followed in their car, arrive at the hospital, ready to figure out what exactly had just transpired.
