✨ Common Thread Between All 3 Men:

All cousins (not siblings)

📍Episode 1 — A Night Before Everything Changed

> Scene opens in a small, warm-lit village house. A low wooden table, a simple dinner spread. Outside, crickets chirp. Inside, three generations sit — two of them about to be separated.

Halmoni (placing rice in Y/N’s bowl, smiling sadly):

“Now even you are leaving me, just like your elder sister did. Time really flies, doesn’t it? Yesterday you two were running around this courtyard… and now look at you — tomorrow, you too will leave for Seoul.”

Y/N (playfully):

“If you’re getting emotional, then I’m not going. I’ll stay here forever with you!”

Halmoni (gently but firmly):

“Don’t talk nonsense. Go to Seoul. Take care of yourself and your sister. But don’t forget to visit often. Just because you get a job tomorrow doesn’t mean you come back the next day — let things settle first, hmm?”

(pauses)

“Eat well, don’t stress yourself, and remember… village people are here to take care of me.”

Y/N (eyes watering):

“You’re making me cry, Halmoni... why don’t you come with us instead?”

Halmoni (chuckles softly):

“No no, child. I was born here, I’ll die here. I’m not going anywhere.”

Y/N (wiping tears, half-smiling):

“Then promise me you’ll stay healthy and alive at least until I get married.”

Halmoni (laughs through tears):

“Deal. But first, you find someone to marry!”

Halmoni (turns serious):

“You’ve found out where Yura works, right? Make sure you don’t bother her too much. She’s working hard there.”

Y/N (suddenly hesitant):

“H…Halmoni…”

Halmoni (concerned):

“What now? Don’t get all dramatic on me. It’s not like it’s your wedding day!”

Y/N (nervous):

“It’s just… Unnie called me three days ago… but after that, nothing. No call, no message. I even tried calling her… but her phone has been switched off. I’m starting to get really worried. And now suddenly she’s asking me to come to Seoul… I don’t understand what’s going on.”

Halmoni (calmly but a bit worried):

“You’re overthinking again, Y/N. Yura doesn’t work at some small company. She’s with Korea’s biggest firm. Maybe she got caught up in work, or misplaced her phone.

And anyway… now that you’re going, you can ask her in person, can’t you? Now go, sleep. You have to leave for Seoul early in the morning. Here… take this.”

> Halmoni hands her a folded pouch. Y/N takes it with shaky hands. Her eyes shift toward the dark sky outside the window. Something doesn’t feel right… but she doesn’t know that tomorrow, her life will change forever.

[Scene: Village – Y/N’s Departure Day | Early Morning]

(Y/N is standing near the village bus stop with her suitcase and her cat, Kity, in a small soft carrier. Her halmoni wipes her eyes silently.)

Y/N (holding back emotions, trying to sound cheerful):

“Annyeonghi gyeseyo, halmoni... Apna dhyan rakhna. Aur haan, please... Kity ka bhi. For your kind information, she's the queen now.”

(She gently kisses the cat's forehead and whispers)

“Baby... mumma tumhe bohot miss karegi. Halmoni ke paas rehna, okay? Dur mat jana.”

Halmoni (emotional eyes, controlling tears):

“Apna bhi khayal rakhna, Y/N. Aur haan… ache se khana khana. Yuri ko zyada pareshan mat karna, uski bhi life hai, arasso? Waha pahuchte hi call karna... bhoolna mat. Jab free ho, toh phone zarur karna. Aur jaldi... jaldi wapas aana Yuri ke saath.”

Y/N (smiling with a cute, teary face):

“Aap mujhe emotional kar rahi ho, Miss Beautiful Halmoni.”

(They share a tight hug. Y/N boards the village bus with a last wave. The bus leaves, halmoni standing behind with Kity in her arms.)

---

🚆 [Scene: On the Train to Seoul – A Few Hours Later]

(Y/N boards the train after changing at the main station. She finds her seat and sits near the window. The seat next to her is still empty.)

(A little later, a tall guy walks in and sits beside her. Dressed in black, headphones around his neck, deep cold eyes. Suga.)

Y/N (smiling brightly, breaking the silence):

“Annyeong haseyo! I’m Y/N. What’s your name?”

(she looks at him curiously)

“You don’t look like you’re from a village though... Are you going to Seoul too?”

(she giggles slightly)

“You know... you kinda look like my cat. I mean... your eyes, your cold face... reminds me of Kity.”

(suddenly her smile fades a little)

“She can’t live without me even for a minute… I don’t know how she’ll survive without me now...”

(she pouts sadly, looking out of the window)

Suga (cold tone, without turning):

“Where is it?”

Y/N (confused):

“Hmm? W-what?”

Suga (still expressionless):

“Your switch off button.”

Y/N (offended):

“Kyaaa?! Yah! How can you say that to someone you just met?!”

(She glares at him and turns toward the window, puffing her cheeks in frustration.)

---

[Scene: Seoul Station – Arrival & Confusion]

The train comes to a smooth halt at Seoul Station. It’s a completely new place for Y/N — overwhelming, fast, and unfamiliar. She steps out of the train, soaking in the hustle of the big city.

But within seconds…

Her eyes widen in panic.

Y/N (gasping):

"Wait—my bag?! Where’s my bag?!"

She frantically looks around and sees a guy with cat-like eyes casually walking away with her bag.

Y/N (shocked):

“That CAT took my bag!”

She rushes after him through the crowd, but by the time she reaches the spot…

He’s already gone.

Y/N freezes.

Her knees give out and she slowly drops to the ground.

Tears pool in her eyes, and this time, she can’t stop them.

Y/N (whispers through tears):

“My money… my sister’s address… my phone… everything was in that bag… I don’t even have enough money to go back…”

She begins to cry uncontrollably, covering her face with her hands.

Eventually, she wipes her tears and pulls herself up, determined.

She starts asking around.

Y/N (politely, but with a shaky voice):

"Excuse me… is there a police station nearby?"

A man points in a direction.

Stranger:

"It’s a bit far, but just straight down that road."

She nods, thanks him, and begins her walk.

She’s tired — physically and emotionally — but she keeps walking until she finally reaches the station.

Inside, two police officers glance at the worn-out girl standing at the entrance, barely able to breathe.

Police 1 (concerned):

"Are you alright?"

They offer her water.

She drinks it and then speaks, voice raspy from exhaustion.

Y/N (barely audible):

"Can I… get something to eat?"

Police 1 (sarcastic, fake laugh):

"Kimchi rice with extra soju, ma’am? Or would you prefer a hotel menu instead?"

Y/N (crying):

"I heard Seoul people were kind... but you’re scolding me... I walked all the way here… and now… this..."

Police 2 (gently, whispers to Officer 1):

"Sir, let me handle this."

He turns to Y/N kindly.

Police 2:

"Ma’am, may I know your name? And what exactly happened? Don’t worry, no one will scold you. Just take your time."

Y/N (sniffles):

"Y/N… It wasn’t a cat—it was a guy who looked like a cat. He took my bag…at the station…”

Police 1 (rolls eyes):

"Ah, so it’s a missing cat now? Maybe if you didn’t feed it your food, it wouldn’t have left."

Y/N (utterly confused):

"What?!"

Police 2 (waves hand subtly to shut Officer 1 up):

"Miss Y/N, listen… even animals have feelings. Maybe your cat just needed some space—perhaps she’s on a date. Give her some time… she’ll come back by evening."

Y/N (blank face):

“…What?”

She takes a small pause… and then bursts into louder sobs.

Y/N (crying louder):

“It wasn’t a cat! It was a man who looked like a cat who took my bag! How can you not understand!”

Police 1 (finally realizing):

"So your bag was stolen. Can you describe the man who took it?"

Y/N (nods):

"Yes. He had eyes like a cat… his face… his smile…"

As she describes, Police 2 starts sketching.

Police 2 (showing the sketch):

"Does he look like this?"

Y/N and Police 1 lean in.

Y/N (dead serious):

"That’s… a cat."

Police 2 (shrugs):

"Well, you did describe him like one."

until I break you

Police Officer 2:

Wait... was he dressed in black? Headphones hanging around his neck? Eyes cold and sharp?

Y/N (confused & scared):

Y-Yes... but how do you know that?

Police Officer 1 (tense expression):

Because… he's standing right behind you.

(Y/N slowly turns around, eyes wide. She sees her bag lying near the man. Tears well up in her eyes, but she forces a faint smile and walks toward it.)

Y/N (whispers emotionally):

Thank you... for keeping it safe.

(She hugs her bag tightly and silently walks away, tears falling from her eyes. Suga watches her without a word — cold, unreadable expression.)

[Scene change – Y/N reaches an apartment]

(Doorbell rings — Ding dong.)

A woman in her 30s opens the door.

Y/N (nervous and tired):

Excuse me... is Park Yuri home?

Woman (confused):

Park Yuri? I think you’ve got the wrong address. I've been living here for years.

Y/N (shocked):

W-What? That can't be… this is the address she gave me!

Woman:

Sorry, miss. No one by that name lives here. (Closes the door politely.)

Y/N (standing frozen, then whispers to herself):

What’s going on…? Why would Unnie give me a fake address? Where are you, Unnie?

---

🕯 Nighttime — In a small hotel room

(Y/N lies on the bed. She picks up her phone and calls her grandmother.)

Y/N (softly, holding back tears):

Annyeong haseyo, halmoni...

Yes, I had dinner.

Unnie? Yeah... she's fine, just a little busy right now.

I’ll call you again tomorrow. Just... wanted to hear your voice.

Good night, halmoni. I love you.

(She hangs up, tears falling quietly on the pillow.)

Y/N (to herself):

What new mess will tomorrow bring?

---

---

[Morning – Y/N’s Room]

Y/N (getting ready, determined):

“Unnie, I have so many questions in my heart. And today… you have to answer every single one of them.”

---

[At a Corporate Office – Front Desk]

(Y/N arrives in a cab, stepping into a huge, luxurious company building. She walks up to the front desk.)

Y/N (politely but urgently):

“Excuse me… Can you please tell me if Park Yuri works here? I need to see her.”

Receptionist (checking records):

“Sorry, ma’am. There’s no employee by that name working here.”

Y/N (confused and shocked):

“What? That can’t be right! Please check again! My sister, Park Yuri, she told me herself—she works here!”

(She begins to cry.)

Y/N (emotional, rambling):

“She used to call us… she said she passed the interview, that she finally got a job at a big company… She sent us photos, told us how luxurious her new life was. And now you’re saying… she never worked here?!”

(A staff member appears, along with Sihu.)

Staff:

“Sir, this girl is making a scene. It’s disturbing the other employees.”

Sihu (coldly):

“Get her out of here. You know what will happen if Kim Taehyung finds out about this mess!”

(Guards escort Y/N out of the building forcefully.)

---

[Police Station – Y/N Returns]

(Y/N enters the station again, this time more emotional than frustrated. Her voice is heavy with sadness.)

Phone rings...

Y/N (answering softly):

“Yes, Halmoni, I’m okay. I’m just on my way to work with Unnie… Please call me later.”

(She ends the call and takes a deep breath.)

(She walks in and sees Police 1 and Police 2 eating lunch. Her stomach growls loudly. She looks at them with tearful eyes.)

Police 1 (joking):

“Don’t tell me your bag’s lost again.”

Police 2 (teasing):

“Maybe this time… it’s her cat that’s missing.”

(Y/N’s face falls as she tries to stop herself from crying.)

Police 2 (softening):

“Hey, miss…”

Y/N:

“It’s Y/N.”

Police 1 (sighs):

“Okay, Y/N. Stop crying and just tell us what happened.”

Y/N (hesitant):

“…Can I have a little of what you’re eating?”

(Police 2 gives her food. She eats desperately, like she hasn’t eaten in days.)

Police 1 (concerned):

“Easy, it’s not a competition.”

Police 2 (mock-grumbling):

“Hey, leave some for us too…”

---

[After Finishing the Meal]

(Y/N finishes and breaks into tears.)

Y/N (whispers):

“My Unnie…”

(Just then, Kim Taehyung walks in for official work. Police 1 and 2 leave Y/N and go to him. Taehyung notices Y/N, stares at her quietly with no expression. Y/N doesn’t notice him and walks out of the station.)

---

[Street – Park Bench Scene]

(Y/N sits on a bench on the street, lost in thought.)

Y/N (thinking aloud):

“Wait… Unnie told me she had a boyfriend. She said she’d introduce him to us soon… And she even showed us his photo back in the village… but I never looked at it properly.”

(A realization dawns on her. A sudden sense of direction hits.)

Y/N (determined):

“That’s it. Maybe there’s something back in the village. I need to go back.”

(She rushes to book a bus ticket to her hometown and leaves

---

[Scene: Y/N Returns to the Village]

As Y/N walks into her village, some familiar neighbors greet her.

Villager 1:

“Y/N, you’re back already? Didn’t things work out in Seoul?”

Villager 2:

“Where’s Yuri? You came back alone?”

Y/N simply smiles gently without saying a word and heads straight home.

---

[Scene: At Home – Searching for the Truth]

Y/N arrives to find Halmoni isn’t home. She immediately runs up to her room and begins searching every drawer, cabinet, and box for the parcel that was sent from Seoul.

After frantically tearing through her things, she heads to Kitty’s little house. Lifting it up, she finally finds what she’s looking for.

Without wasting another second, she packs her bag again and leaves for Seoul.

---

[Scene: Back in Seoul – Street Food & a Phone Call]

Y/N arrives in Seoul and buys some lemon candy from a small street stall.

Her phone rings. It’s Halmoni.

Halmoni (worried voice):

“Y/N… were you just at the house? Is everything alright?”

Y/N (calm but guarded):

“Halmoni, I had to come back for some job documents. Nothing serious. Don’t worry.”

Halmoni:

“You didn’t even stop to see me? And Yuri isn’t answering her phone—it’s been off for days. I’m getting worried. And you… you sound like you’re hiding something.”

Y/N (pauses, then fakes a cheerful voice):

“You’re just overthinking again. Honestly, Yuri and I are both fine. Her phone’s just broken, and she’s been swamped with work. She barely has time to fix it.”

She forces a laugh.

Y/N (softer):

“And I don’t talk much because… I get emotional when I hear your voice. You know I’ve never stayed away from you this long.”

Y/N (quickly):

“Anyway, I have to sleep now. Big day at work tomorrow. Don’t want to get fired by my grumpy boss. Bye, Halmoni.”

She ends the call, her smile fading as she munches on her lemon candy, deep in thought.

---

[Scene: Y/N’s Hotel Room – The Truth Unfolds]

Y/N returns to her tiny hotel room and opens the package Yuri had sent. Inside is a handwritten letter.

Yuri’s Letter:

“Halmoni, Y/N… you’re the most precious people in my life. Ever since I moved here, I’ve missed you every single day. Please take care of yourselves.

Very soon, I’ll introduce you to someone very special—my future husband. He’s wonderful. Please wait for me.”

Y/N opens the second parcel. It’s full of photographs.

She gazes at them with watery eyes but doesn’t cry—she’s too stunned. Then, one photo catches her attention.

Y/N (shocked):

“This cat… again?”

In the photo: Yuri, Kim Taehyung, Sihu, and Suga—standing together.

Y/N (murmurs):

“Which one is Yuri Unnie’s boyfriend? How do I even figure that out?”

She clears space on the floor, lays out all the items, and starts writing down dates—when the letters were sent, when Yuri called, when the phone went dead.

She draws lines, builds a timeline, and slowly connects the dots.

Y/N (determined):

“If Yuri never worked at that company… then how did this photo even exist?

They’re hiding something.

And I swear—I will find out what it is.”

---

[Time Skip – Next Morning at the Police Station]

Y/N checks out of her hotel—her funds almost gone—and heads straight to the police station.

Inside, the two officers are eating.

Police Officer 2 (teasing):

“Sir, magic just walked in.”

Police Officer 1 (eyes closed, reclining):

“Huh? Don’t bug me unless it’s a real case. I haven’t solved one in months.”

Y/N silently sits down, spreads out the letter, photos, and chart she made. Her voice is calm but full of quiet urgency.

Y/N:

“This letter… came first. Then these photos.

And this was the last message she sent before her phone was switched off.

After that—nothing. She’s just… gone.”

Both officers stop eating. They look at her materials, then at each other.

Police Officer 1 (serious now):

“You’re right to come to us. But this… isn’t enough. We need stronger evidence—something solid.”

Police Officer 2 (nodding):

“If she’s really missing… we need to act fast.”

Narration:

And just like that… the mission begins.

Three unlikely allies: Y/N, Officer 1, and Officer 2—now bound by one goal:

Expose the secrets buried inside Kim Taehyung’s powerful company…

and bring Park Yuri back home.
