The Promise

EXT. HOTEL - NIGHT

A girl arrives at the hotel and approaches Lee Hye Ri.

GIRL (Tessa): Excuse me, are you a staff here? Can you bring me some hot coffee?

LEE HYE RI: (confused) Sorry, I'm not a staff member. Who are you?

KIM YOON SU suddenly arrives and interrupts.

KIM YOON SU: Tessa! (he hugs her) What are you doing here?

TESSA: (surprised) Congratulations! I didn't expect to see you again.

KIM YOON SU: (smiling) Thank you for coming. Let me introduce you to my fiancee, Lee Hye Ri.

TESSA: (smiling) Hello, nice to meet you.

Lee Hye Ri looks disapprovingly at Tessa and walks away.

KIM YOON SU: (following her) Hey, baby, don't be jealous. Tessa is just an old friend. I love you and only you. That's why I'm marrying you.

LEE HYE RI: (upset) I just can't believe you're still in touch with your ex-girlfriend. I need some space.

KIM YOON SU: (concerned) Baby, please don't be upset. (he leans in to kiss her)

Lee Hye Ri runs away without replying.

INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Kim Namjoon is walking down the corridor when he notices Lee Hye Ri walking towards her room with a sad expression on her face.

KIM NAMJOON: (approaching Hye Ri) Hey, Hye Ri. Are you okay?

LEE HYE RI: (looking at Namjoon) Oh, hi Namjoon. Yeah, I'm fine.

Kim Yoon Su arrives and interrupts the conversation.

KIM YOON SU: (to Namjoon) Hyung, please help me. She's angry.

NAMJOON: (confused) What did you do now?

KIM YOON SU: (defensive) I didn't do anything. I just invited Tessa to the engagement party.

NAMJOON: (sighing) Why did you invite her? You know how Lee Hye Ri feels about her.

KIM YOON SU: (pleading) Please, Hyung. Help me, please. I don't want her to be angry with me.

NAMJOON: (nodding) Okay, I'll try to talk to her.

Yoon Su looks relieved and thanks Namjoon.

KIM YOON SU: (thanking Namjoon) Thank you, Hyung. You're the best.

Namjoon watches Yoon Su walk away and then turns his attention to Hye Ri.

NAMJOON: (looking at Hye Ri) So, what's going on? Why are you upset?

LEE HYE RI: (sighing) It's nothing. I just don't like Tessa.

NAMJOON: (surprised) Oh, I didn't know that. Why don't you like her?

LEE HYE RI: (explaining) She's Yoon Su's ex-girlfriend. I don't trust her.

NAMJOON: (nodding) I see. Well, you don't have to worry about her. Yoon Su loves you, and he's going to marry you.

LEE HYE RI: (smiling) Thanks, Namjoon. That means a lot.

NAMJOON: (grinning) No problem. Now, let's go get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow.

..

Namjoon: Hye, can we talk for a moment?

Hye ri: (looks up from her sadness) Yeah, sure.

Namjoon: I couldn't help but notice you seemed upset. Is everything okay?

Hye ri: (sighs) It's just that Yoon Su's ex-girlfriend Tessa came to the engagement party and she was flirting with him.

Namjoon: I see. I promise you that he will not do anything vulgar. He's only marrying you.

Hye ri: (looks at Namjoon, slightly calmer) Do you really think so?

Namjoon: (nods) Yes, I do. And I'll make sure he knows how much it hurt you.

Hye ri: (smiles a little) Thank you, Namjoon. I appreciate it.

Namjoon: (smiles back) No problem. That's what hyungs are for.

Hye ri: (chuckles) Yeah, I guess so.

Namjoon: (puts his hand on her shoulder) Don't worry, everything will be okay.

Hye: (looks at Namjoon gratefully) Thanks again, Namjoon. You're a good person.

Namjoon: (smiles warmly) Anytime, Miss Hye ri.

They both go back to their rooms .
