SOOBIN
(enters his mother's study)

"mother, we need to talk"

CHOI SEULGI
(looks up at her son)

"yes soobin, what is it?"

SOOBIN
(squints his eyes at her as he crosses his arms)

"you're doing it again aren't you?"

CHOI SEULGI
(hums in response and slowly stands up)

"yes, i am"

SOOBIN
(balls his fists)

"why?"

CHOI SEULGI
(rolls her eyes and throws her hands up in exasperation)

"it's the same damn reason son! that wealth is too tempting to resist getting my hands on"

SOOBIN
(raises his voice)

"you're hurting everyone mother! you got that man to abduct nari!

just so you could torture her into saying yes for whatever arranged marriage you have in mind!"

CHOI SEULGI
(starts to grasp onto soobin's arm)

"i don't care! more is good for us! i'm doing this for you!"

SOOBIN
(shakes himself violently from her grasp)

"fuck you mom! you broke your promise. you're only doing this for yourself! change your ways or i'll report you"

CHOI SEULGI
(laughs dryly)

"you wouldn't dare son, you're too weak! you let me go the first time.

you're a fool for trusting me soobin! so what makes you think you can do something big that would land me behind bars? away from you?

you have no one!"

SOOBIN
(tears forming)

"are you really not going to change?"

CHOI SEULGI
(chuckles and shakes her head)

"never,"

(soobin hastily pulls out his phone from his pocket and dials yeonjun's number)

CALLING YEONJUNNIE...

YEONJUN
(finally picks up the call)

"what's going on soobin?"

SOOBIN
"do it. report her now"

YEONJUN
(stutters)

"s-soobin, are you sure?"

SOOBIN
"i have a family, but family isn't her. she's nothing to me now"

(ends the call before smirking at his mother)

CHOI SEULGI
(pushes soobin)

"you fucking idiot!"

(continues pushing and punching soobin)

"you're ungrateful! you're weak! you're going to end up like your father!

dead and cold because he put others before money! before his success!"

SOOBIN
(pushes the crazy woman away from him harshly, tears streaming down his cheeks at the monster his mother has become)

"don't you dare talk about my father like that. he always did the right thing unlike you,mother.

have a good life in jail. don't bother trying to run away. dad's will was that i could keep everything he ever owned and earned"

(smirks)

"i'm going to live by how he raised me. goodbye mrs choi seulgi."

CHOI SEULGI
"you will regret this! you're no longer my son. when i get out, you're dead! you're dead to me the moment you leave this house"

(soobin slams the door behind him and felt the weight of the world lifted off his shoulders despite the screams and protests from his mother)

SOOBIN
i'll be okay dad, i'll be a good man. i'll do better without mom, i promise
