Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
**It's fine this is just the start, we'll get there sooner she just needs to adjust**
Johyeon lee( FL)
but Jisun I don't think I need a new home....
Johyeon lee( FL)
you've also said it I have my own so what's the point of this?
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(sigh) johyeon, you've been alone for so long, living with me will be good for you.
Johyeon lee( FL)
(looks at Emily)
Johyeon lee( FL)

Johyeon lee( FL)
(nods slowly)
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
**don't cry, don't show her no matter what she'll think it's weird**
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(smilingly softly)Thank you. I'm Emily we've been friends for years...
Johyeon lee( FL)
(tilts her head)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(trying to process the information)
Johyeon lee( FL)
Years? that's....a long time...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
Yes it is, we've shared so much together. Laughs, tears, secret.
Johyeon lee( FL)
Really? I don't remember anything....
Johyeon lee( FL)
**Nor remember those laughs, tears and secrets you mention**
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(Gently) that's okay, Johyeon you'll remember in no time.
Johyeon lee( FL)
(shakes her head slowly)
Johyeon lee( FL)
**time? **
Johyeon lee( FL)
What is time? is it something like people made up.......to measure things. A concept isn't it?

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(reaching out to hold johyeon arms)
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
it's okay to feel lost johyeon, you've been through a lot...
Johyeon lee( FL)
(looks at her hand)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(then at Jisun)
Johyeon lee( FL)
My hand. It feels...strange. Like it doesn't belong to me...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(nodding) it's okay to feel that way from your body...
Johyeon lee( FL)
(pulls her hand away)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(examining closely)
Johyeon lee( FL)
I remember water, lots of water. Cold and dark. and then....nothing. Just emptiness.
My voice was flat, devoid by emotion...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(softly) you drowned, johyeon. You were pulled from the water and brought here...
Johyeon lee( FL)
(eyes widen slightly)
Johyeon lee( FL)
pulled from the water? I was in the water? But why? and where was I?
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
We don't know the answers to those questions yet, Johyeon.
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
But I'm here for you, we'll find out together (reassuring smile)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(looks away)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(gaze fixed on a point in the distance)

Johyeon lee( FL)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(squeezing her hand) that's okay johyeon, you're healing. And healing takes time. Well get through this together...
I met Jisun's gaze, my eyes was filled with a mixture of confusion and fear.
Johyeon lee( FL)
** but hearing that from her makes me somehow relieved**
Johyeon lee( FL)
(takes a deep breath)
Johyeon lee( FL)
** I hope one day I'll find my way back not to the person I was, but to the person I meant to be**
Johyeon lee( FL)
(lost in thought)
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
Btw I just got a text from my mom....she's going to visits here...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
Johyeon?
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Johyeon lee( FL)

Johyeon lee( FL)
(looking at her reflection in a mirror)
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
Johyeon, Dear come say hi, Mom's here!
There's a long pause before johyeon emerges, looking disheveled....
Johyeon lee( FL)
(came downstairs)
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
Omo it's been years!
Johyeon lee( FL)
(softly) hi.
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
come sit I have here your favorite dish...
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
I was so happy when Jisun told me you are now living with her 😄
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
Come on sit....
She sits on the opposite end of the chair, maintaining a distance...
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
it's so lovely to see you again, how are you finding everything?
Johyeon lee( FL)
(looks at her)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(then at the plate)
Johyeon lee( FL)
(Quitely) it's okay...
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
We're so glad to have you here, your like a daughter of mine....
Johyeon's expression change slightly, her eyes flicker for a moment....
Johyeon lee( FL)
Aunt, Jisun...does my face never bother you...?
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(looks at her mom)
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
(looks at her daughter)
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
why? are you uncomfortable?
Johyeon lee( FL)
Maybe to the both of you...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
Silly, Your beautiful...
Johyeon lee( FL)
I don't see it...
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
it's okay dear it's a part of you...
Johyeon lee( FL)
it's ugly...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
no it's not. it's a mark of what you've been through, and a reminder of your strength...
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
You should be proud of it...
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
Jisun is right, beauty is seen inside, Its in your eyes, in your heart. It's the person you are, not what you look like....
Johyeon lee( FL)
(shocked)
Johyeon lee( FL)
**why didn't I see this sooner, they're here to help me but I keep distancing myself yo them**
Johyeon lee( FL)
** I just want to push them away because I thought I was bothering them too much**
Johyeon lee( FL)
** I'm such a stupid**
Johyeon lee( FL)
**these people are my home**
Johyeon lee( FL)
** jisun already told me about my past, I grew up as an orphan... but even though, I'm happy that I was a family for them**
Johyeon lee( FL)
(tears starting to fall)
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Johyeon lee( FL)
(wipes her tears)
Johyeon lee( FL)
No, it's nothing I was just being emotional...
Ha-yoon Park (Jisun's Mom)
You sure?? 🙁
Johyeon looks at them, a flicker of hope in her eyes...
Johyeon lee( FL)

Johyeon lee( FL)

The rest of the dinner was filled with happy conversation...
and johyeon participating happily....
Johyeon lee( FL)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(door opens)
Johyeon lee( FL)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
(See's her) (facepalm)
Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Johyeon lee( FL)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)

Jisun Park (FL's BFF)
You know, you could use this time to. I don't know, live. Maybe learn a new language or start a band...
Johyeon lee( FL)
