I'm busy tomorrow. I don't have time for those craps. Don't get me involve in your troubles. It's your commitment. Leave me out of it. KIM HYUNG JUN You do nothing on the weekend. You stay in bed all day. It will be good for you do something like this. Maybe it will brighten you up Mr. Grumpy. Do you still know how to smile? KIM HYUN JOONG You have a unique way of asking a favor. (plays the guitar a little) Yeah, criticize me more. You are just about to make me say yes. KIM HYUNG JUN Brother, help me on this one please. Cover for me on this one. I promise the kids at the orphanage, and Hwangbo Noona will really need your help. Doing a little charity will do you great. I'll drive you there in the morning. I'll introduce you to the members and to Hwangbo Noona. She's my buddy there. I'll stay for an hour and help out a little, then do the rest for me. I promise to return the favor twice. KIM HYUN JOONG No! No! No!... Stop talking and finish that make-up. We're up next. Or else you're going to sing without make up on your left eye. EXTERIOR. AT THE FRONT YARD OF THE ORPHANAGE- DAY Kim Hyun Joong and Kim Hyung Jun enter the yard.

Kim Hyung Jun slowly comes up from behind and taps on the shoulder. Kim Hyun Joong gets startled. KIM HYUN JOONG Did you take me here to give me a heart attack? KIM HYUNG JUN I was looking for you when I saw you sneakily watching Hwangbo Noona... Hwangbo Noona! (Calling Hwangbo Hye Jung's attention) How are you? HWANGBO HYE JUNG Yah! You're late! Go change and help me here. Kim Hyun Joong and Kim Hyung Jun walks towards Hwangbo Hyejung. KIM HYUNG JUN I'm sorry Noona. I can't help you today as I promised. I'm meeting my girlfriend's mother for the first time today. But I brought one of my friends to help you. This is KIM HYUN JOONG. Kim Hyun Joong bows down without taking his eyes off Hwangbo HyeJung's face. KIM HYUN JOONG Nice to meet you! I'm Kim Hyun Joong. KIM HYUNG JUN This is Hwangbo HyeJung. The most beautiful lady in this institution. Hwangbo Hye Jung lightly hit Kim Hyung Joon. KIM HYUNG JUN And the most violent, too. Avoid getting too close. Hitting people is her hobby. HWANGBO HYE JUNG Nice to meet you! I'm Hwangbo HyeJung. (awkwardly glance at Kim Hyung Joon and then bows down) KIM HYUNG JUN I know she's very beautiful but do you like her that much. You're making her feel uncomfortable by looking at her so intently. From what I know, you like girls who have dark skin, (to Hwangbo HyeJung) What happened to you Noona? (to Kim Hyun Joong) But I didn't know you are into older women. HWANGBO HYE JUNG (Yelling) You came late! And now you're making fun of my complexion and my age... I just came back from Busan with the Unnies. You know how much I love the beach and the sea. KIM HYUNG JUN I'm just saying he likes you, Noona. I'm sure you'll get along well. KIM HYUN JOONG But I don't like girls that I can't see in the dark. Hwangbo HyeJung is surprised by the reply. Owing the courage from being offended, she looks at him. Her facial expressions changes from anger to surprise. HWANGBO HYEJUNG It's you!... The crazy handsome young man at the café. The three became silent for a while realizing what Hwangbo HyeJung has just said. Hwangbo HyeJung turns her back and return to hanging the linen, leaving the two standing on their place watching her. KIM HYUNG JUN Crazy handsome... This is going to be so much fun. Go change and help her. KIM HYUN JOONG (with a dark expression on his face) I'm sorry... I really can't do this. (walk away, hold his chest as if it's hurting so much) KIM HYUNG JUN What's going on with you, too? She said you're crazy handsome! (follow Kim Hyun Joong) You can't back out on your words. You already agreed to do this. INTERIOR. KIM HYUN JOONG'S ROOM- DAY KIM KYU JONG, a man in his early 20s, entered the room, sits on the bed. And shake Kim Hyun Joong to wake him up. KIM KYU JONG Hyung, wake up. This is important. Kim Kyu Jong open the curtain and the blinds to let the sunlight in. KIM HYUN JOONG Uhm, (moves a little, open his eyes, and look at the other person) When did you get back? (and close his eyes again) KIM KYU JONG (surprised) I was already here when you got home this morning. I slept on this bed too. Hyung, wake up! KIM HYUN JOONG Welcome back! (goes back to sleep) KIM KYU JONG Do you remember what we talked about last night? Kim Hyun Joong don't respond. Kim Kyu Jong sigh, shakes him one more time to wake him up. The doorbell rings. INTERIOR. LIVING ROOM KITCHEN.- DAY Cho Hwa Jung is sitting on a couch in the living room. Kim Hyun Jong brings two cups of coffee and puts them down on the coffee table. KIM KYU JONG I'm awfully sorry about this predicament and I'm really grateful for giving us consideration. CHOI HWA JUNG (affectionately) I understand the situation. I'm giving you a month. I hope your friend can find a new place by then. A door slammed. The two turn to the direction of the sound. Kim Hyun Joong comes into the living room half awake in his boxer shorts. KIM KYU JONG (yelling at Kim Hyun Joong) Hyung Are you crazy!? Kim Kyu Jong hurriedly stands and rush towards him. He pushes him back into his room and slams the door closed. Walks back to the couch. KIM KYU JONG I'm sorry! I'm sorry! (bows down really low several times) I'm really sorry! CHOI HWA JUNG Don't worry about it. I like half n***d crazy handsome young man. You didn't need to send him back into his room. (and started laughing) Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Kyu Joong, and Choi Hwa Jeong are all sitting on the couch facing each other. KIM KYU JONG This is Mrs. CHOI HWA JUNG. She is the owner of this unit. CHOI HWA JUNG. Correction. It's Miss CHOI HWA JUNG. (to Kim Hyun Joong) Don't you remember me? Kim Hyun Joong looked it her, puzzled. Tilted his head several time. KIM HYUN JOONG I'm sorry, Ma'am. I can't remember were we met. CHOI HWA JUNG Stella! (immitating Kim Hyun Joong. and started laughing) Does that ring a bell? Kim Hyun Joong eyes open like a saucer in surprised realizing who the lady is. He hurriedly stands up and starts bowing. KIM HYUN JOONG I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I wasn't myself that time. Please don't change your mind. My apartment will be vacated in three weeks time. We'll move there as soon as my tenant leaves. For the time being, please let us stay here. CHOI HWA JUNG Kim Kyu Jong has already told me about it. And the incident at the cafe was actually entertaining INTERIOR. SHOPPING MALL / SHOES SHOP - DAY Song Eun Yi and Choi Hwa Jung are looking at the shoes on display. SONG EUN YI (anxiously following Cho Hwa Jung's steps) Hwa Jeong Unnie, I'm worried about your ideas. It's crazy. I don't think Hwangbo will agree with that. It's not right for a man and a woman to live together in one house. And I think that man is crazy. CHO HWA JUNG It's called sharehouse. It's popular nowadays. (pick a shoe and tries it on) (to the saleslady) Can I get the other shoe? I like it. I want to try it on. The saleslady leaves to get the other shoe. CHOI HWA JUNG Hwangbo is not an ordinary lady. Trust me on this one. It's not like they are staying in one room. That unit has three bedrooms. Each bedroom has bath. They are only going to see each other in the living room Kitchen which is huge enough for them to run around. (starts laughing wickedly) It's a match made in heaven SONG EUN YI You sound more like a demon than an angel. I don't know how you are going to pull this trick to make Hwangbo live there. The saleslady returns with the other shoe and hands it to Choi Hwa Jung. Hwangbo came in to the shop. HWANGBO HYE JUNG Song Unnie! Hwa Jung Unnie! Hello! The two ladies waves and smiles at her. Song Eun Yi walks away from the two pretending to look at some of the shoes at the far end of the shop. HWANGBO HYE JUNG Why did you suddenly ask to meet me here? I'm so busy putting my things in boxes and moving furniture. CHOI HWA JUNG When do you need to move? (tries on the shoes and walks around) HWANGBO HYE JUNG It looks nice (referring to the shoes) I think it's made for your feet. The renovation will start in two days. So I really need to move to your house tomorrow. (starts looking at some shoes) Is it really okay? It's only for a month. I'm not going to bring many things. CHOI HWA JUNG Who's going to help you move some of your things to my unit? (take of the shoes) (to the saleslady) I'm taking them. HWANGBO HYE JUNG I asked Ye Sung the other day, he said he wasn't sure but he will try. I didn't ask Dong Wan but he volunteered to help when he heard about it. (picks up another shoes and tries it on) Song Eun Yi overhearing Hwangbo Hye Jung's reply rushes to their sides looking worriedly to Choi Hwa Jung. Choi Hwa Jung is suddenly nervous upon hearing the two men's names.
