EPISODE - 3
The polished floors of the grand hall echoed with the sound of chaos. Vases shattered. Cushions flew. A photo frame crashed against the wall. Crystal fragments danced across the floor like falling stars
somi
(Dressed in her casual pastel loungewear, was a storm of fury)
Her cheeks flushed, her eyes red, her voice trembling with rage as she grabbed the nearest flower pot and hurled it across the room
somi
How could you? HOW COULD YOU, DAD? (Screaming)
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
(Flustered, rushed to her daughter, trying to grab her wrist mid-swing before another object flew through the air)
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
Somi, please! Stop, you’ll hurt yourself! Baby, just listen to us for a moment—
somi
DON’T TOUCH ME! You’re both liars (pulling away)
somi
(Turned to her dad now, eyes burning)
somi
You sold me off like I’m one of your damn business shares? Your own daughter?
somi
(Held her head in both hands, gripping her scalp in disbelief, pacing as she breathed heavily)
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
Somi, sweetheart, please calm down... let your father explain. There’s a reason—
somi
(snapping at her mom) No, Mom! There’s never a good enough reason to force someone into marriage. What century do you think this is?
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
(Standing near the fireplace in his grey suit, tried to keep his voice composed but firm)
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
I didn’t do this to punish you, Somi
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
This is the biggest deal of my life. The Kim family offered a merger that could double our company’s valuation. But they only agreed… if you marry their son
somi
Oh wow. How touching. I’m your most valuable asset, huh? (bitterly laughing)
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
Somi—
somi
(cutting him off) Is he even my age?! No! He’s older, and he has a kid! I’m not some recycled bride for your contract, Dad
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
He’s only a few years older, Somi. He’s young, successful, and—(raising his voice)
somi
I DON’T CARE! He has a child. I don’t want to marry someone with baggage! I don’t even like children! And most importantly—he’s a used thing (voice rising higher)
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
JEON SOMI
somi
(screaming louder) I SAID WHAT I SAID
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
(snapping) ENOUGH
The room fell into sharp silence. His voice boomed against the marble walls
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
(Firmly) i have given you everything. Every trip. Every designer bag. The car you drive. The freedom you flaunt. All of it—because I trusted you’d grow to understand responsibility
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
(Stepped closer, eyes hard)
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
But this time, you will do what I say. I’ve given my word to the Kims. If this marriage doesn’t happen, they’ll pull out of the deal. Worse—destroy my company. And I won’t let that happen
somi
(voice trembling) You promised I’d marry for love… You promised…
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
This is bigger than promises. It’s survival
somi
(tears spilling, voice shaking)
You already told them I said yes… didn’t you?
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
Yes. And they’ll be announcing the marriage on the news tomorrow morning
somi
(voice breaking) Dad… please…
Mr. Jeon/ kook's uncle
(coldly) You will marry him, Somi. That’s final
somi
(Let out a sob, covering her mouth with both hands)
Without another word, she turned and bolted upstairs, her slippers slapping loudly against the staircase
somi
(screaming as she ran)
I WON’T DO IT! I SWEAR I WON’T
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
Somi, wait—
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
(Rushed after her, her heels clicking desperately behind her daughter)
Burst in and slammed the door and She threw her back against it and slid down, sobbing into her hands. Her walls, once lined with fairy lights and soft pastel posters, felt like prison walls now
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
(Knocked gently)
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
Somi… please, open the door. Let me just… sit with you
somi
(She opened the door)
somi
Why didn’t you stop him, Mom? Why didn’t you protect me?
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
I Tried, baby… I really did. He didn’t even tell me until after he agreed
somi
Do you even know what you’re asking me to do? To marry a man with a child I don’t even know? To be some accessory in his boring corporate life?! I don’t even love him! I’ve never even met him
somi
I’m not anyone’s stepmother. I don’t want some little brat calling me 'mom'
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
(Hugs somi and ) calm down baby
Mrs . Jeon/ kook's aunty
I will think of something, i don't let my daughter suffer
Mrs. Jeon left from there after a while
somi
F*** Stop the knocking and coming inside
JUNGKOOK
(Open the door and come inside)
JUNGKOOK
(Holding the tray cup of coffee and cookies )
