"i'm going to help
seokjin with the kitchen,
okay? i'll be right back
honey."

"okay mom."

—jae's mother
exits.
—someone knocks
on jae's window.
—she looks out
to find hoseok.
—jae gets out of bed
and opens the window.

"hi."

"h–hello."

"can you go to the woods
with me?"

"i can't. my mother will
notice."

"i'm sorry that i blew up
on you again... forgive
me please?"

"... i do
hoseok. you know
i do. but i can't
go to the woods with
you."

"please, jae? just this
once? i just want to
talk."

"fine."

—as jae escapes
with hoseok, she
remembers what she
has heard in the past,
and if that picture
was just a look alike.
—then millions of other
questions appear in jae's
mind.

jae feels a little
conflicted right now.
