(Falls to the floor, face slightly crumpled)

이찬&승관&민규
(Coming up to the rooftop)


여우린
(Yeorin heard the sound of footsteps)


여우린
Hey, did you call?


여주
Who?

이찬&승관&민규
Hey!! Yoon Yeo-ju


여주
Huh? Brothers


이 찬

The female protagonist is still afraid of her older brothers)

_Yes, that's right

여주
_Your mother passed away?


여주
_Don't prank call me..!


여주
_Are you kidding?


여주
_You're lying, right??

??
_I'm sorry, I tried my best, but in the end...

이찬&승관&민규
_(I wait not knowing what the situation is)

??
_And ooo, who was with me, was moved to the intensive care unit.

??
_It's very... urgent


여주
_Could you explain it to me? (He holds back his tears, but they eventually flow)

이찬&승관&민규
(Surprised)

??
At around 10:00 AM on March 3rd, Mr./Ms. xxx and Mr./Ms. ooo got off the bus at the airport and boarded a bus to their accommodations. An accident occurred during the bus ride, and...


여주
_So you're saying he passed away?


여주
_Just... like that?


여주
_By accident?

이찬&승관&민규
(I feel the seriousness of the news that he passed away)

The body will be moved to Korea, and the funeral will be held starting March 6th.

_Do you agree?


여주

순영
Ugh...why are you crying?


순영
Did those guys bully you??


여주
..(I keep swallowing my tears but they keep flowing)


승관
Ha Sun-young, we're leaving work early.

담임선생님
I'll tell your homeroom teacher.


이 찬
Hyung Sunyoung, when you come home later, please pack our bags for us.

민규

승관

승철
_Hey, where's your school?


승철
_Are you going to hit the bell?


승철
_no


민규
_Hyung, hurry up!!! (shouting)


승철
_I'm going now


정한
_(Jisoo and Jeonghan next to Seungcheol) We're going too~

(Three people arrived in 5 minutes like the Avengers)


승관
Why are you like that, Ha Yeo-ju?


이 찬
Let's put him to bed quickly

(lying down in the car)


승철
Hey, what's wrong with you??


민규
..I don't know


정한
what??


승관
Seung-kwan, who was crying after receiving a phone call earlier, suddenly started crying.


이 찬
Oh, why are you crying again?


지수
Seungcheol, let's go home quickly.


승철
Go (speeding)

(After coming home, the six of them lay the collapsed female lead on the sofa and fidget. And the rest of the people also leave work early and come home.)


순영
Yeoju, you still haven't woken up?


도겸
..Where does the heroine originally hurt?


준
Anyone know?


원우
I don't know


디에잇
I don't know


지훈
It's been 3 months since we met...


지훈
I don't know anything

(In fact, the female protagonist couldn't tell anyone about her painful family history.)


여주
eww..


지수
Are you okay, heroine??


정한
Are you awake?


승철
Sunyoung, bring me some water.


순영
here.


여주
Thank you..(sigh)


여주
(The female protagonist remembers the conversation on the phone)


여주
I wish it was a dream


여주
I just thought it was a nightmare and now I want to wake up


여주
Why doesn't it wake up?


여주
Why do I still have to be sick?


여주
..(the female protagonist starts crying)

이 찬
Hey, look at my brother


여주
(Looking while holding back tears)


이 찬
(Bend your knees and look into each other's eyes)


이 찬
..we have different parents


이 찬
No, the father is the same but the mother is different


이 찬
It wasn't windy.


이 찬
I just got divorced and remarried.


이 찬
About 5 times?

(Choi-Seungchul, Hansol, Yoon-Jeonghan, Wonwoo, Hong-Jisoo, Jun, Kwon-Soonyoung, The8, Lee-Dokyeom, Mingyu, Jihoon, Chan, Seungkwan)


디에잇
Haha, I'm going to reveal it


민규
I was going to find out someday


순영
So we all have different moms


준
Not all are different though


지훈
..this is our pain


도겸
We can tell you because we're family


여주
family..


여주
My family... I don't think it'll work out.


정한
what?


지수
Mom and Dad fought?


승철
So that's why??


여주
no..


여주
Marriage is something that takes two people.


여주
There's only one now...


여주
Mom...


여주
He passed away


여주
But you haven't gotten married yet


여주
I don't have parents on paper anymore.


순영
ah..


여주
(starts crying again)


여주
(Looks at the ceiling to keep from crying)


민규
(Quietly hugs the female lead)


민규
It's okay to cry


민규
You can cry as much as you want


승관
(Pats the female protagonist on the back)


여주
..This makes me want to talk


여주
If I tell you about my pain, you'll feel the pain too.


여주
If you keep doing this, you'll get shaken.


정한
You can tell me


승철
I might listen


승철
I can swear at you


지수
So you can tell me


여주
I made a promise back then


여주
I decided not to tell anyone


여주
I decided not to show my pain


여주
To hide my weakness


여주
But why does it seem like that promise keeps getting broken?


여주
(grabs Min-gyu's sleeve)


민규
(Looking at the heroine)


민규
..it must have been very difficult


민규
I don't think I can empathize


민규
Because I haven't experienced it


민규
It may be difficult to comfort you


민규
I'm afraid it might seem like pity


민규
But despite that


민규
I will heal your pain


민규
I think I can help you hide your weaknesses.


여주
(Grabs sleeves tighter)


여주
When I was in the second grade of elementary school...


여주
It was just an ordinary day for me.


여주
But... when I got home that day


여주
Dad... that guy was breaking the window


여주
While swearing


여주
Who the hell are you to be talking to me?


여주
That was the first time I felt fear.


여주
I felt that first time with my family


여주
After that, that person always cursed, threw things, and hurt me at home.


여주
And my mom... abandoned me


여주
When I was in 3rd grade, my mom said she was going to the market and didn't come home for a week (she started crying).


여주
On the seventh day, my dad hit my mom and cursed at her, saying, "Why are you running away?" and stuff like that.


여주
That's when I knew


여주
Ah... my mom abandoned me


여주
I almost ended up alone


여주
I almost died


여주
And over the course of four years, the man began to use increasingly brutal violence.


여주
And my mom didn't come home often under the pretense of making money.


여주
You always pretended to be sorry and that you were the one who would protect me.


여주
I thought you wouldn't remember that you abandoned me.


여주
Because I was young


여주
And I remember but I decided to pretend not to know


여주
Because that memory doesn't change the present


여주
I didn't really want to bring it up

13명 전부
(I feel a strange sense of pity for Yeoju, who must have been in more pain than I expected)


여주
Happiness? I've never wished for anything like that.

Misfortune? I've never tried to end my life over something like that.


여주
They ruined it


여주
Now you're telling me it's my fault for not avoiding it.


여주
It's my fault for being young


여주
It's all my fault!!!


여주
..that memory was a wound then and a scar now


여주
There's nothing better...


여주
Because it hurt so much, because it was so hard


여주
It's that unforgettable


여주
And of course, I followed my mother after that person divorced her, but I still had feelings of resentment towards my mother.


여주
Everyone knows that the father abandoned his child and ran away.


여주
That abandoned place is a hell that even he hates being in.


여주
Who would like parents who abandoned them in such a place?


여주
And I never once got an apology from my mom.


여주
It was always full of excuses


여주
So I was planning to get revenge on my mom someday... but


여주
But why did he pass away so suddenly like this?


여주
Should I just be sick and that be the end of it?


여주
Don't show my pain to anyone, just hide it


여주
Should I pretend not to know and cover it up?


민규
That guy called dad... where is he now?


여주
I was about to throw him in jail


여주
If that happens, I'm going to kill that person when he gets out of prison.


여주
I just ran away with my mom


여주
But he appeared on TV a while ago


여주
..I became a lawyer


여주
That too, a large law firm


정한
..wow this is so ridiculous? (annoyed)


승철
Hey, isn't SV Law Firm where your mom works?


지훈
Oh, right


지훈
But we haven't been in contact since the divorce...


여주
I..


순영
huh?


여주
I don't need that help.


여주
Even more so with the help of a lawyer


여주
Law? I don't believe in that kind of thing.


여주
I heard he's now the head lawyer of a large law firm. Of course I'd believe that person over a 17-year-old kid, and if it were him, I'd stop him at all costs. I... don't believe in the law.


승철
Then what??


여주
Because it's my revenge


여주
I'll give it back


여주
Karma? I'll do that.


디에잇
Yeoju, but still...


여주
Me!! I cried every day, I was in pain every day, and I lived every day with a lot of regret.


여주
Anyway, I'm an orphan now and I have no one to hurt, so even if I disappear, I'll get revenge.


도겸
Ah... we're not brothers anymore...


지훈
....


이 찬
Just adopt it!!


순영
(flash)


순영
But what about my dad??


여주
..intensive care unit


여주
My mother was with me when the accident happened, and she's in the intensive care unit after surgery.


정한
ah..


승철
