Episode 4
(Gori and Jungkook stand in the quiet room, the tension still lingering in the air. Jungkook, after hearing her cryptic explanation, isn’t entirely convinced. He crosses his arms, staring at her with a mix of curiosity and doubt.)
jungkook
(Raising an eyebrow) "I don’t understand... How do I trust you? I don’t know anything about you. What’s your story?"
Gori...
(Gori hesitates, unsure of how much to reveal. But she knows it’s time to be honest. She takes a deep breath and pulls something out of her bag—her passport.)
Gori...
(Holding the passport out to him) "Here. You can see for yourself."
jungkook
(Jungkook takes the passport, flipping it open with a skeptical expression. As he scans the details, Gori speaks up again.)
Gori...
I’m from a small town in India. I came here because I needed a job, really. My studies... they’re almost done. Next year, I’ll finish my degree." (Pauses, her voice softening) "I had no choice but to take up this job. I need to support myself for my studies, and this was the only way."
jungkook
(Jungkook, still holding the passport, studies her face for any signs of deception. He looks at the passport and then back at her, trying to make sense of it all.)
jungkook
(His tone softening) "So, you’re here to finish your studies... But why didn’t you tell me this earlier? Why the secrecy?"
(Gori looks down, biting her lip nervously. She didn’t want to reveal too much too soon, but it seems she doesn’t have a choice now.)
Gori...
(Quietly) "I didn’t want you to think I was using you for help. I really just need this job for the next few months. After that, I’ll finish my studies and... I’ll leave." (Her voice cracks slightly) "I just need to get through this."
jungkook
I understand. But... I still need to know that you’re trustworthy. How can I be sure?"
Gori...
(Nods, her voice firm) "I promise, I’m here to work. I’m not looking for anything else. Just the job, and when I’m done, I’ll go back to my life." (She looks at him earnestly) "You have my word."
Jungkook looks at her for a moment, thinking. Finally, he nods, though the wariness in his eyes hasn’t completely faded.)
