Episode 2: “The One I Left in the Rain”

🌙 Episode2: “The One I Left in the Rain”

Theme: Reunion in disguise, suppressed emotions, silent protection.

[Scene 1 – Bodyguard HQ, late night]

Tawan, now 30, is standing in front of a glass mirror, dressed in full tactical black gear — gloves, combat boots, mask and helmet beside her. Her expression is calm but distant. She tightens the strap of her wrist holster.

Her father, General Kornkamon, walks in.

General Kornkamon:

“Still emotionless after all these years. Except when it’s about her.”

Tawan:

“…This isn’t about emotion. It’s duty.”

General Kornkamon: (sits, watching her)

“Her father wants her protected. He requested you personally. Are you sure about this?”

Tawan:

“She won’t know it’s me.”

General Kornkamon:

“Even if she remembers your touch?”

Tawan: (pauses, then puts on the helmet)

“Then I’ll make sure she doesn’t touch me.”

[Scene 2 – Alya’s Mansion, daytime]

Alya (23) is finishing a livestream in her room, surrounded by makeup and scripts. She glows with charisma, but her eyes still hold a quiet sadness.

Assistant:

“Ms Alya, your father upgraded your personal security. Your new guard starts today.”

Alya: (raising an eyebrow)

“Another bodyguard? Do they even last? They either flirt or freeze.”

Assistant:

“This one’s… different. No name. Codename Black Falcon.”

The front door opens. In walks Tawan, fully covered in black, no visible skin or voice — even her comm system masks her tone.

Alya looks her up and down.

Alya: (teasing)

“Wow. My own Darth Vader.”

No response.

Alya: (smirking)

“Can you even speak?”

Tawan (modulated voice):

“Only when needed.”

Alya: (rolls her eyes)

“Great. Another robot.”

[Scene 3 – In the car, en route to set]

Alya talks nonstop in the back seat, teasing and testing the new guard.

Alya:

“So what’s your deal? Secret identity? Ex-military? Or just someone with commitment issues?”

Tawan doesn’t respond. Her eyes stay on the road ahead through the tinted visor.

Alya:

“…You remind me of someone I used to know.”

That makes Tawan flinch ever so slightly.

[Scene 4 – Film set chaos]

While filming, a fan with a knife breaks into the set. Everyone panics.

Tawan instantly steps in — disarms him in 3 swift moves, pins him down. Alya stands frozen, stunned.

Director:

“Holy— who is that?”

Tawan pulls Alya aside, checking her for injuries.

Alya: (genuinely shaken)

“…You knew I was in danger before it happened.”

Tawan: (voice still modulated)

“It’s my job.”

Alya: (looking into the visor)

“I’ve felt this before…”

[Scene 5 – Late night, Alya’s bedroom balcony]

Alya sits alone under the stars, hair tied back, face bare.

Tawan stands silently nearby, watching over her from the shadows.

Alya speaks without looking at her.

Alya:

“I loved someone once. She left before I could hate her for it.”

A beat of silence.

Alya: (softly)

“And now… I feel her again. Like a ghost guarding me.”

Tawan remains frozen.

Eyes glassy.

Heart full.

But she says nothing.

Final Scene – Tawan’s POV, private HQ log

She types a short report.

Client secured.

Threat neutralized.

Emotional exposure: contained.

Codename: Black Falcon

Status: Watching her from the same distance I left her in.

She stares at the screen.

Deletes the last line.

And closes the laptop.
