Scene 2. Seoul. A restaurant. 8:55 p.m.

The kitchen is a zoo. The restaurant is especially busy tonight, and the staff is flying around trying to keep everything running smoothly. SEOKJIN is focused on his work.

Enter JIHYUN, in waiter's uniform.

JIHYUN: Hey, Jin hyung, Yoongi hyung is here to see you.

SEOKJIN: Oh, is he? Tell him I get off soon. What time is it?

JIHYUN: (looks at clock) Five minutes till nine.

SEOKJIN: Good. I'm nearly done this japchae, then I'll head out. Here, this stew is done.

JIHYUN: Okay, bye hyung.

Exit JIHYUN, plates in hand.

SEOKJIN quickly finishes preparing the dish, plates it and sets it out for a waiter to take. He hangs up his apron and walks out of the kitchen doors, where YOONGI is waiting.

SEOKJIN: To what do I owe the pleasure?

YOONGI: (grinning) I've barely seen you lately. Always working or out with the others.

SEOKJIN: Ah, well, you know, no rest for the wicked. (laughs loudly)

YOONGI: (rolls his eyes) Hyung, please.

SEOKJIN: Sorry, sorry.

YOONGI: Anyways, what do you say the two of us go grab a drink?

SEOKJIN: Sounds fantastic. I've been on my feet for ten hours straight today–crazy busy since lunchtime.

YOONGI: Yikes, well, nothing a few drinks won't cure.

They walk out of the restaurant and onto the busy streets of the city.

SEOKJIN: So, how've you been?

YOONGI: Oh, good, good. Thinking of quitting my job, though.

SEOKJIN: Really? I thought you loved your job?

YOONGI: Nah, we just got a new boss and he's already managed to piss off every employee in the one week he's been there. Total dick.

SEOKJIN: Aw, shit. (sympathetic) So what are you gonna do?

YOONGI: I don't know, maybe I'll see if Namjoon can put in a good word for me at his store.

SEOKJIN: That's not a bad idea. He gets good hours, easy money.

They reach the bar, and walk inside, sitting down at the bar. YOONGI orders a round of shots.

YOONGI: To new beginnings.
