Hidden pains

Episode seven

Pam: Ah, I see. I think it is time for you to get some rest. I am heading back now.

Gem: can you leave after I sleep off?

Pam: (assisting him in adjusting to the bed) Okay, sure.

Gem: Four, you are still here, right?

Four: Yes.

Gem: Do not leave me here by myself, please.

Four: I will not. I promise.

Gem: Would you mind spending the night with me?

Four: Of course not. Do not worry, I will spend the night here.

Gem: Thanks.

Four: (He nods).

(Gem slept off, and Pam is about to leave when four stop her.)

Four: hold on.

Pam: Yes.

Four: If someone asked you what happened here, what would you say?

Pam: What would I say as to how? What do you mean?

Four: (He continues to nod his head while staring at her)

Pam: Hey, someone is waiting here.

Four: I know, just checking you out first.

Pam: Why?

Four: Determine whether you are stupid or not. Are you stupid?

Pam: Hey, Mr. Foul-mouthed, I am not stupid.

Four: stupid people say that.

Pam: You are also stupid for asking that question.

Four: I just want to know the extent of your stupidity.

Pam: I am not stupid. I understand what you are trying to say.

Four: Hey, do not wake him up by raising your voice. And you said you are not stupid.

Pam: I'm not. okay.

Four: Alright. Make sure you keep what happened here a secret from anyone.

Pam: I know, you stupid! Who will ask me that?

Four: Mrs. Minnie or your pals here

Pam: Do not worry; I am not stupid.

Four: If they were to ask you why you are late and what happened in this place, what would you say to them?

Pam: just a small issue, he fought with someone and it was resolved.

Four: Whoa, that is what I told Mrs. Minnie before I came back in. Okay, I did not know you had brains, but that is a great thing you can go now (he gestures with his hand)

Pam: stupid; make sure you take care of him (she opened the door and left).

Four: bye-bye ? (he closed the door and lay down on the couch opposite the gem bed.)

In the United States

(Mrs. Kim emerged from the dressing room looking stunning. She checked her phone, but as she took it from the drawer where she had left it before going to the bathroom, she heard a knock on the door. She gasped in shock, and her phone fell from her hand and broke.

Mrs. Kim: Who is there? (she yells angrily)

Assistant Joe: It is me, madam.

Mrs. Kim: Tell me why you are in my room.

Assistant Joe: Ma, you are running late for the meeting.

Mrs. Kim: I am asking you why you are here in my room (she picked up her broken phone from the ground and went to open the dressing room door).

Assistant Joe: Sorry, ma'am. Mr. Kim let me in and told me to come look for you here.

Mrs Kim: Is that so?

Assistant Joe: Yes, ma'am. (Looking terrified)

Mrs. Kim: And, where is he?

Assistant Joe: who?

Mrs. Kim: My husband, of course; who else would I ask for?

Assistant Joe: He is in the room, Ma. (she points to the bed)

Mrs Kim: Darling (She walks past her assistant.)

Mr Kim: What did she want now? (murmurs)

Mrs Kim: What are you saying?

Mr. Kim: Nothing more than compliments on your beauty.

Mrs Kim: Uhh, thank you, darling.

Mr. Kim: Are you not already late for your dinner meeting?

Mrs. Kim: Oh, right. Why do you allow Joe to come into our room and call me?

Mr Kim: Why not? She came to call you, and I was asleep when she knocked on the door, so I told her to come in and call you herself.

Mrs. Kim: Well, you will have to get me a new phone because I was startled when she knocked on the door and my phone broke when it fell.

Mr. Kim: So, why should I buy you a new phone when you can buy it yourself?

Mrs. Kim: You should get me a new phone because nobody has ever knocked on that door before (pointing at the door)

Mr Kim: So what?

Mrs Kim: Which means you never knock on the door if you want to go in. Even if I am in there. (pointing) that is why I was startled when she knocked on the door per your instruction.

Mr Kim: Okay, no more explanations. I will get you one.

Mrs Kim: Make it quick cause while I'm in the bathroom I heard my phone keep ringing but I couldn't come out of the bathroom. I am not sure if it is from the house or my client.

Mr. Kim: All right, wifey. I will get it to you as quickly as possible.

Mrs Kim: ok thank you.

Mr Kim: Are you not late for the meeting yet?

Mrs. Kim: Oh my God, I am late! (She screams in horror.)

Mr. Kim: Women (smile).

Mrs Kim: Joe, let go, we are late. (She took her bag from the bed.)

Assistant Joe: Okay, madam (she took the bag from her and looked at Mr Kim, who also looked at her offensively).

Mrs Kim: What are you still waiting for? Let go.

(Mrs. Kim notices Joe staring at her husband, but she thinks nothing of it, and they both leave for the meeting.)

In sun apartment

(He sobbed and thought about what he had done while sleeping on the couch in the living room. He pulled out his phone and was strolling through it, intending to call his mother and tell her everything that had happened to him. When his mother called, he hesitated a little before answering.)

Mrs. Juan: Hello, baby bear. How are you doing over there?

Sun: I am not doing well, Mom.

Mrs Juan: Why not, baby?

Sun: Mom, I did something really bad. I did something terrible. (crying)

Mrs. Juan: Sun, what is it? Please tell me.

Sun: I can not discuss it with you over the phone. I need to see you

Mrs. Juan: Alright, son, give me an hour, and I will be there.

Sun: Okay, Mom (he hangs up).

The Juan mansion

Mr. Juan: Is there a problem? Why do you appear so anxious?

Mrs. Juan: I hope so.

Mr. Juan: Did something happen to my son? Is he fine?

Mrs. Juan: He said he did something bad. I am heading over to him right now. (She gets off the couch she is sitting on and phones her driver.)

Mrs. Juan: Hi, Mr. Lim Bring the car; we are heading out. (She hangs up without allowing the other person on the line to speak. Mr. Lim served as Mrs. Juan's driver for twenty-five years, beginning three years before their marriage. While living with her parents, he has served as her driver.)

Mr. Juan: I am going with you.

Mrs. Juan: You have a meeting to attend, so you do not need to go.

Mr. Juan: I will call it off. I cannot let you go alone. He is also my son, so why would I just stay back if something happened to him?

Mrs. Juan: But...

Mr. Juan: Do not but me, I am leaving, and that is it.

Mrs. Juan: Okay.

Mr. Juan: Let go, I heard the car parked outside. if I am not mistaken.(Mr. Lim enters)

Mrs Juan: You are correct.

Mr Lim: Good morning, sir/ma.

Mrs Juan: Morning, Mr Lim. How are you, sir?

Mr Lim: Fine, ma'am.

Mrs. Juan: Alright, let's get going.

Mr. Lim: Alright, madam (he took her bag and walked away)

Mrs Juan: what are you doing? (looking at her husband typing on his phone).

Mr. Juan: I am messaging my assistant to call off the meeting.

Mrs. Juan: Okay. Let go.

Mr Juan: Where is Mr Lim?

Mrs. Juan: He is out there waiting for us.

Mr. Juan: Alright, let go.

(They left the mansion and drove away.)

The Kim mansion

(Gem is having a nightmare about what happened to him and keeps moving around the bed, crying loudly in his sleep. After hearing movement in his sleep, Four opened his eyes to find nothing there. He then got up from the couch and turned to face Gem's bed. He realized he was having nightmares when he saw him moving and sobbing on the bed. He rushed to him and tried to wake him from his nightmares.

Four: Wake up, gem. (Tapping and shaking him, but there is still no reaction)

Gem: It hurts, please leave me alone (crying) (crying and screaming with his eyes closed)

Four: It is me, Gem, please wake up (he is shaking him hard to wake him up in panic)

Gem: Please leave me no no no no no no no no (he opens his eyes and realizes someone is hugging him; he thinks it is him (sun) and screams).

Four: Open your eyes and take a look at me; it is me, four.

Gem: No, no, leave me alone, please.

Four: it is me, gem. Take a look at me, gem it is me. He will never approach you again. gem it is me

Gem: Four it you (he looks at four eyes and hugs him to calm down a little).

Four: yes it me calm down.

Gem: please don't leave me alone please(crying)

Four: I won't gem. I promised you I would never leave you alone except if you want me to. (crying)

Gem: No, I won't. You have my word on that. Four, stop crying. Okay, I am fine now.

Four: All right, I will stop crying, and you should too. (He wipes his face and gem face with his hand.)

Gem: Could you please sleep here with me? (points to the bed)

Four: Alright, if you say so.

Gem: Why will I not? I was just scared earlier (sulking).

Four: I know, I am sorry (he climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Gem).

Gem: Thank you four. Let me hug you, please (he moves closer to him and hugs him).

Four: you already did. (They smiled and hugged each other until they fell asleep.)
