KIM ESTATE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
The grand living room is dimly lit, but the silence inside is soon shattered. The heavy crash of a vase being throwed to the floor echoes throughout the house, pieces scattering across the marble floor like jagged tears.
Mr. Kim stands in the center of the room, his chest heaving with uncontained rage, his face red with fury.
His hand still shakes from the force of the throw as he clenches his fists, glaring at the broken shards on the floor. Mrs. Kim stands nearby, eyes wide in shock, not daring to move as she watches him.
Mr. Kim yelling, his voice hoarse with anger "How did he get there?!" his voice cracks with disbelief, fury spilling out of every word. "I disowned him! He should be gone! Why is he here, Kim Seo-yeon?!"
This is the first time in their long marriage that Mrs. Kim has heard her husband call her by her full name. It pierces through the air like a blade, sharp and bitter. She flinches, momentarily stunned.
Mrs. Kim matching his pace, her own voice trembling with a mixture of fear and anger "How would I know Joon-woo?!" She shoots back, her heart racing. "I was just as surprised as you were! I didn't expect him to show up either!"
Mr. Kim's eyes darken, his face twisted with disgust. He paces back and forth, his thoughts unraveling in his mind as he tries to grasp the situation.
The betrayal he feels burns deep inside, and his chest feels heavy with the weight of it.
Mr. Kim spitting out each word like venom "That boy..." he stops, gripping the back of a chair until his knuckles turn white.
"He's trying to ruin everything we built. Our legacy, our name, everything I worked for! He's been a stain on this family from the moment he-"
He trails off, his thoughts turning to the image of Namjoon walking into the meeting, bold, defiant, with that infuriating smirk on his face.
Mrs. Kim talks hesitantly still cautious of her husband's growing fury
"What... what are we supposed to do now? He's made a move against us. And with the Choi's on his side, we can't-"
Mr. Kim interrupting her "We wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for him! Namjoon and that... that disgusting, twisted brain of his!" His voice cracks as he speaks, the words filled with hatred.
"How could he-after everything I did for him-turn into this?!"
Mrs. Kim watches as Mr. Kim's anger builds to a fever pitch. She knows where this is going, the same bitter topic that had torn them apart years ago.
It had always been there, lingering in the background like a ghost, haunting them both.
Mr. Kim pacing as he shouts "He chose this path-the wrong path! All because of that... that lifestyle he's living! How can he even think of taking over the company when he's-"
