Soobin arrives home, greeted by his 1st younger brother, Kim Somin.
kim somin/GO
Hyung! You're back!..late again?
kim soobin/DA
Yeah, Somin cutie. How was school today?
kim somin/GO
It was okay. I missed you, though
kim soobin/DA
I missed you too. Let's catch up after I freshen up.
lee yujin/PO
Soobin-ah, you're home!(he embraces him warmly) Let me recharge my energy with a hug.
kim soobin/DA
Mom, I'm all sweaty from school.
lee yujin/PO
I don't mind. My son's hugs are the best remedy.
Soobin heads to his room to change. Shortly after, their father, Kim Taemin, enters.
kim taemin/DA
Soobin, join me in the study. We have some matters to discuss regarding the company
They work together for four hours.
kim taemin/DA
How are your studies progressing? Remember, if you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to take a break
kim soobin/DA
I'm managing well, Father. Thank you for your concern.
kim taemin/DA
That's good to hear. How are your siblings doing in school? Especially Taebin?
kim soobin/DA
(Hesitates )Taebin... he got into the national basketball team and has won several medals over the past few years.
kim taemin/DA
Taebin is playing basketball? I wasn't aware. That's impressive
Soobin returns to his room to do his homework. Lee Yujin brings him a drink.
lee yujin/PO
Here, Soobin. A drink to keep you refreshed.
kim soobin/DA
Thanks, Mom. By the way, Taebin made it to the national basketball team.
kim soobin/DA
Could you tell him not to disturb me tonight? I have a mock exam tomorrow.
Later, Kim Somin hugs her mom, followed by Taebin, who lifts Lee Yujin in excitement
lee yujin/PO
(Kisses Taebin on the cheek) Congratulations on making it to the nationals!
kim somin/GO
Why didn't I get a kiss?
lee yujin/PO
Because your baby brother achieved something special.
kim Taebin/DA
How did you know about the nationals?
lee yujin/PO
Soobin told me.
lee yujin/PO
Don't disturb Soobin tonight. He's tired from company work and needs to study
Nighttime, around 10:30 PM. It's routine for Soobin's younger siblings to get a goodnight kiss. Soobin only lets Kim Somin in. After a loving exchange, Somin leaves. Soobin prepares for bed.
Taebin enters the room, looking distressed.
kim Taebin/DA
Hyung, I'm sorry. I should have told you about basketball.
Soobin remains silent, turns off the light, and goes to bed. Taebin lies beside him, hugging him from behind.
kim Taebin/DA
I'm truly sorry
Soobin doesn't respond. Both fall asleep.
Early morning, Soobin wakes up and notices Taebin still asleep, his cheeks stained with tears. Soobin gently caresses his brother's cheek, feeling a pang of sadness. He skips his morning routine and leaves for school early.
Taebin sits at his desk, looking despondent. Park Hyunwoo enters, eyes red and face pale
kim Taebin/DA
Hyunwoo, what happened?
park hyunwoo/DO
I skipped school, and my family found out.
park hyunwoo/DO
They scolded me and are now avoiding me.
park hyunwoo/DO
I haven't eaten all day.
kim Taebin/DA
(Teasing) Did you cry all night, baby boy?
park hyunwoo/DO
What about you? big baby you eyes looks swollen...
kim Taebin/DA
Soobin hyung found out about the nationals and skipping schools and has been ignoring me
park hyunwoo/DO
You too? I forgot to tell my family as well.
choi haejoon/PO
Congratulations on making it to the nationals!
Taebin and Hyunwoo tease and flirt with Haejoon.
choi haejoon/PO
Enough nonsense.
choi haejoon/PO
By the way, your brother knows about your grades
Taebin looks shocked and runs to the student council room but stops outside, eavesdropping on Soobin and Lee Hyunjin.
lee hyunjin /DA
Why is my sunshine so quiet?
lee hyunjin /DA
Did something happen?
kim soobin/DA
I'm fine... just thinking
kim soobin/DA
I don't want to talk to him.
kim soobin/DA
It's not about basketball, but his grades are low, and he's skipping school.
kim soobin/DA
As student council president, I promote discipline, but my own brother acts irresponsibly.
lee hyunjin /DA
Calm down. Let's go to the gym..it's Physical education period for both classes
Students are playing, studying, or chatting. Soobin sits quietly. Yoon Kyungsoo approaches.
yoon kyungsoo/DA
It's rare to see the student council president in the gym
During a basketball game, someone accidentally pushes Kyungsoo, causing him to fall onto Soobin's lap.
yoon kyungsoo/DA
Oops! Sorry!
kim soobin/DA
(Teasing )Comfortable?
Lee Hyunjin and the Park twins enter, discussing something serious.
lee hyunjin /DA
Did you hear? Hyunwoo and Taebin made it to the nationals
park taejin/DA
Hyunwoo-ah got into nationals?
park taesoo /DA
That's surprising
They share a funny incident from the Park mansion, making everyone laugh. The twins and Hyunjin tease Soobin and Kyungsoo.
A student calls Soobin, saying a teacher wants to meet him.
yoon kyungsoo/DA
You're always in demand, president.
kim soobin/DA
You are missing me?
After the meeting, Soobin returns to the student council room, working on an Excel sheet. Park Hyunwoo enters.
park hyunwoo/DO
Soobin hyung, can we talk?
kim soobin/DA
(ignores him)
park hyunwoo/DO
(sits on Soobin's lap, facing him)
kim soobin/DA
Hyunwoo, what are you doing?
He notices Hyunwoo's red eyes and pale face, recalling the twins' story.
kim soobin/DA
(Gently) You should leave. I need to focus....make me hate you..
For the first time, Soobin scolds Hyunwoo, breaking Hyunwoo's heart.
Jeong Haemin sits on Park Taesoo's lap. Park Taewoo wraps his arms around Haemin. Park Taejin massages Haemin's leg.
park taejin/DA
You used to help us like this. Now it's our turn to pamper you, baby
park taesoo /DA
You're too light. Are you eating properly?
park taejin/DA
Your waist is so tiny, like a girl's
jeong haemin/O
Well, you guys are giants
They share laughs. At the end of lunch, they exchange kisses.
jeong haemin/O
(Kisses Taesoo on the lips and pinches his cheek) Good boy.
He kisses Taejin, who responds passionately
park taesoo /DA
(Knocks Taejin's head) Behave.
jeong haemin/O
Taejin is a bad boy
Haemin runs away playfully
Suddenly, a kissing sound is heard from the toilet.
