Scene 1
[FADE IN BLACK]
[SEOUL, KOREA 10:03 A.M
It was a rainy morning in the city streets of Korea. There, lies a mansion
with a beautiful garden enveloping softly around its structure. Inside,
elegant cushions are suddenly squished on]
JHIN, a tall handsome asian man with a fit physique sits down on a sofa,
alongside with Misu, Jhin's mom.
Jhin: [speaks aggressively] Mom! Why do you continue to do this? How
much longer do I have to walk away from these women?!?
Misu : [softly speaks] Jhin, dear, how long are you going to continue being
like this? When will you ever learn how to live like an adult ?
Jhin : Mom, I don't see the need to force marriage into my life whenever I'm
already occupied with the business I inherited from dad!

Misu- [suddenly yells back] WORK! BUSINESS! Continue this and you will
have no one by the time your hair grows white! I pick all the women that are
best for you, they belong to high class families that can bear beautiful
children. How ungrateful you are!
Jhin - [dull] Not interested, I live how I please.
Jhin storms out of the room
Misu- WAIT! JHIN! You have a date today arranged for you at 12 at the
Koko Cafe.. If you're not there I'm stripping you off of your CEO position!!
Jhin slows his footsteps as he heard Misu's threat to knock him off of his
position since she had the authority to.
SCENE 2
Jhin is driving his Nissan GTR 2016 100 mph down the streets to
downtown, he heavily presses down on the gas pedal. Suddenly, his
Samsung S6 rings.
Jhin: Genji?
[VOICE OVER THE PHONE] Genji: Yo! Jhin! Let's meet up right now, I
have a favor to ask of you.
Jhin: What is it? I have a blind date from Mom again at 12 pm at Koko
Cafe.
[VOICE OVER THE PHONE] Genji: REALLY? Wow! That's perfect, I'm
over here right now. Hurry hurry!
Jhin: Alright give me a few minutes
[Jhin hangs up the phone]
Scene 3

[A luxurious cafe set up with shimmering lights, decorated with aesthetic

floral cherry blossom designs and glass windows]
Jhin slowly walks in, searching for Genji.
[Soft, classical music hums in the background of the cafe]
[Genji, a tall, muscular asian man with short curly hair waves to Jhin, his
best friend]
Genji - [whispers] OII! Jhin! Over here!
[Jhin turns his head left to see Genji waving, waves and walks towards him]
[The seats are colored gently with a soft peach, the shiny glass tables
between them leave a nice reflection of those who peer above it]
[Jhin sits down in front of Genji]
Jhin: So, what did you want to talk about?
Genji: [strokes his chin] well, its about [Genji looks away from Jhin as the entrance door opens, a asian beautiful
woman with bright, blonde hair and green eyes walks in]
Genji: [abruptly gets up from his seat] Oh! [points at the woman] Jhin! Jhin!
Thats the woman that I have my eyes on.
Jhin: [looks at where Genji is pointing] What? Is this what you wanted to
talk to me about?
[The blonde haired woman sits down with a cup of coffee, looking out the
window]
Genji: [shifts attention to Jhin] What? Oh no, sorry I got distracted she
looks like shes waiting for someone. Could she perhaps, BE YOUR
BLIND DATE?!

Jhin: [lifts wrist up to check the time] Well, its 12 p.m it could possibly be.
Genji: [disappointed] Oh man! Youre not going to take her are you?
Jhin: [chuckles] Well, who knows, Ill find out.
Genji: [clenches fist] Haha, why you.. Little!
[Jhin gets up, and walks towards the woman, gently smiling. The woman
peers up, her eyes gazing into his soft, grey pupils]
Tomo: Are you Jhin? [checks her watch]
Jhin: [nods head] Why yes, may I have your name?
Tomo: [softly smiles] My name is Tomo, nice to meet you!
Jhin: [rudely ignores and sits down]
[Awkward Silence]
Tomo: [looks down at her coffee] Umm..... soo how old are you Jhin?
Jhin: [blunt] 21
Tomo: Ah.. I heard you own a business, what kind?
Jhin: Fashion.
Tomo: Really? Wow, thats amazing! I go to the top college here in Korea,
Seoul National University!
Jhin: [uninterested] Ah.
[The door flies open, an asian woman with black hair and ice blue eyes
enters the cafe]
Yuki: [whispers agressively] TOMO!

Tomo: [glances at Yuki and rolls her eyes towards the door, signaling her to
go away]
Yuki: [charges towards Tomo and Jhins table] TOMO! What did I tell you
about meeting people like this?!
Tomo: [speechless] Yuki
[Yuki grabs Tomos wrist, accidently spelling her coffee on Jhins suit]
Jhin: [flinches] Ah! Hot!
Tomo: [embarassed] Yuki ugh! [gets up and storms out of the cafe]
Yuki: [surprised] Oh! Im so sorry I have to go catch my friend, Ill pay for
it later!
[Yuki turns around, about to walk away. Suddenly Jhin grabs her wrist]
Jhin: [upset] Whoa whoa, where do you think youre going?
[Yuki jerks back and looks at Jhin. They catch eachothers gaze. They stare
at eachother for a few seconds. Jhins heartbeat increases. A childhood
memory of him and a girl suddenly come to his mind]
Yuki: I have to go, I cant leave her like this!
[Genji comes out of nowhere]
Genji: Oi! Ill take care of her, Jhin, you do you. [runs out of the cafe]
Yuki: What?.. Wait.. does she even kn[Jhin strengthens the grip on Yukis wrist]
Jhin: [shocked] No way.. Absolutely no way.. Could you be Yuki? But
you you died.

Yuki: [removes Jhins hand] What? What are you talking about? Are you
crazy?
Jhin: [shakes his head] No.. it cant be.
[Yuki glances out the window, as she sees several people approaching the
cafe, dressed in all black, wearing sunglasses]
Yuki: [scared] Shoot! Theyre here! My dads ex-mafia What do i do?!
Jhin:[still surprised] . Huh?
Yuki: [scared] Ah! What do i do? [Yuki starts to run out of the cafe]
Jhin: Wait! Where are you going?
[Jhin chases after Yuki, catches up to her and leads her to his car]
Jhin:[yells] Get in! Hurry!
Yuki: I have no choice.! Ugh
Scene 4
[Jhin loses Yukis dads ex-mafias sight, and takes her to his mansion for
safety]
Yuki: [relieved] Ahhh, thank you so much. I thought I wouldve been dead.. I
can call for a cab home, what is the address?
Jhin: No need for a cab come in my mansion.
Yuki: [surprised] Me? But why?
[Jhin softly grabs Yukis hand, leading her to his room. Yuki decides to
follow his lead]
Yuki: [blushes] Umm.

[Jhin turns towards Yuki and hugs her softly]

Jhin: [crying] I.. I missed you so much Yuki..
Yuki: [softly speaks] I.. I dont know what youre talking about, I dont know
you.
Jhin: Did you forget about me?.. Yuki.. we were childhood friends, and..
And I promised to always love you forever. Ive been keeping this promise
till this day.. I finally found you.
Yuki: [unsure] Childhood friend? I cant recall
[Jhin brushes Yukis face and softly kisses her cheek. All of a sudden, a
memory of Jhin appears in Yukis memory. It was a memory where they
were on the swings together, holding hands and smiling. Yuki holds Jhin
stronger than ever]
Yuki: [tearing up] Oh my god Jhin.. Im so sorry.. I.. I lost my memory
because of a car accident.. I.. I IJhin: Its okay Yuki, no need to worry anymore.. Im here for you..
[All of a sudden Genji peers in the window, with bandages wrapped around
Tomos mouth. A huge sound roars throughout the area. Yukis grasp on
Jhin weakens, and she falls]
Genji: [Genji speaks into a microphone] Finally got her. Target down.
[Jhins eyes widen as he slowly turns his gaze towards Genji]
Jhin:[shocked] Why. Why.. Genji?
