Interior - Hospital Room 205 - Night

**Woojin**: (relieved) "So your leg pain just healed on its own? Thank God! Jesus really heard my prayers today."

**Min-ji**: (teasing) "Oh no, Woo-jin, it wasn't just the prayers. It was *your kiss*. The kiss of true love always saves the day, doesn't it?"

Woo-jin's face flushes bright red, his eyes widening in disbelief.

**Woojin**: (stammering) "M-my kiss? N-no, that's... I mean, I didn't-"

**Min-ji**: (laughing softly) "Relax. I was just teasing. But seriously, I'm sorry for worrying you so much. I was just exaggerating for fun. I didn't think you'd take it *this* seriously."

Woo-jin lets out a deep breath, running a hand through his hair.

**Woojin**: (smiling) "It's fine. Now I know you like to have fun like this. Next time, I'll make sure to call your parents first before rushing over with an ambulance."

**Min-ji**: (smirking) "I'll try to keep the theatrics to a minimum next time."

**Woojin**: (nodding) "Good. Now, let's get you home before the hospital security kicks us out for wasting their time."

Woo-jin stands up, offering Min-ji his hand to help her up. She takes it, still chuckling, as they head out of the room.

**Min-ji**: (smiling playfully) "You know, I really liked the bridal-style carry earlier. But walking hand-in-hand is also pretty nice."

Woo-jin blushes deeply, immediately averting his eyes.

**Woojin**: (flustered) "Stop teasing me! I'm still worried about the sin of kissing you before marriage."

Min-ji grins mischievously and starts singing under her breath.

**Min-ji**: (singing) "Magic, madness, heaven, sins... I could show you incredible things..."

Woo-jin looks even more confused now.

**Woojin**: (frowning) "What? What are you saying?"

Min-ji lets out a sigh, shaking her head in amusement.

**Min-ji**: "It's a popular Taylor Swift song, Woo-jin. You don't know this one?"

**Woojin**: (looking sheepish) "Oh! Sorry, I don't really know a lot of singers. But I do listen to Christian devotional songs a lot. Actually, the one that comes to mind right now is 'Healing Rain' by Michael W. Smith."

Woo-jin suddenly starts singing the chorus softly, his voice filled with passion.

**Woojin**: (singing) "Healing rain, it comes with fire, so let it fall and take us higher..."

Min-ji stifles a laugh, shaking her head.

**Min-ji**: "Alright, alright! I get it. Let's just get to the car, Woo-jin. And please-no choir performance on the way!"

Woo-jin laughs awkwardly and nods as they walk out together, hand-in-hand, his blush still lingering.

Interior - inside Woojin's car - night

Woojin is driving and Minji sitting beside him, enjoying the cool night air through the window. Suddenly, a loud motorcycle roar catches their attention.

**Woojin**: (eyes wide, gripping the steering wheel tightly) *"The bike is following us from a while. What if it's a devil-sent person trying to harm us? Oh Lord, protect us from all evil! In Your name, I cast away all dangers!"* (He starts praying under his breath) *"Lord Jesus, shield us with Your divine protection. Amen."*
