EPISODE - 1
The sea roared softly that evening, the ship cutting through the waves under a golden sky
The deck bustled with families, businessmen, and travelers, each wrapped in their own stories
Among them stood Kim Taehyung, tall, broad-shouldered, in a simple shirt and trousers
TAEHYUNG
(His hands rested on the railing as he stared into the horizon, eyes heavy with memories)
TAEHYUNG
(Bitter smile) 💭 Ten years behind bars for a crime I didn’t commit. Hyun-woo… you lived your life free while I rotted in prison. But now… no more chains. This time, I live for myself
TAEHYUNG
(Closed his eyes)
Breathing in the salty wind, when a commotion shattered the calm
Several rough men had cornered an old gentleman
Several rough men had cornered an old gentleman
He was dressed impeccably in a dark suit ,silver hair combed neatly back
Despite his age, his posture radiated power
This was Jeon Dae-sung, one of Korea’s most feared and respected industrialists.
Thug 1 (snarling) “Hand over the briefcase, old man, if you value your life"
Thug 2 (brandishing a knife) “Don’t shout. Nobody will save you here.”
but none dared step forward.
JEON DAESUNG
(coldly) Do you know who I am? I am Jeon Dae-sung. Touch me, and you’ll regret it
The thugs exchanged mocking laughs
Thug 1: “We don’t care if you’re the president himself. Your money will feed us tonight."
One lunged forward—only to have his wrist grabbed mid-air.
TAEHYUNG
(low, steady voice) Put it down
The thug blinked in shock. A tall stranger with sharp features and burning eyes stood before him
Thug 2 (mocking): “What’s this? A hero?”
TAEHYUNG
(calmly) No. Just a man who hates cowards
TAEHYUNG
(Twisted the thug’s arm until the knife clattered to the floor)
Thug 1 (growling): “You’ll pay for this!”
Two more rushed at him, but Taehyung ducked, his fist connecting with one’s stomach, then pivoted to kick the other squarely in the chest. They stumbled back, groaning
Passengers clapped nervously
The last thug pulled out a second blade, charging with a roar
TAEHYUNG
(Sidestepped, grabbing his collar, and shoved him so hard he flipped over the railing—landing right into a lifeboat below with a thud)
Laughter erupted from the onlookers
The thugs scrambled away, humiliated
Dae-sung adjusted his suit and cane, his sharp eyes landing on Taehyung.
JEON DAESUNG
Young man… you just risked your life for a stranger
TAEHYUNG
(bowing politely) It was nothing, sir. No one should be threatened like that
JEON DAESUNG
(smiling faintly) Nothing? Everyone else stood frozen, yet you alone stepped forward. That’s not ‘nothing.’ That’s courage
TAEHYUNG
(Bowed again) I don’t like injustice. That’s all
The old man’s eyes lingered on him, as if memorizing his face
JEON DAESUNG
What is your name? Young man
The grand Jeon Mansion stood glowing under the Seoul sun, its vast gardens stretching like a palace. Inside, butlers hurried and maids polished the floors.
TAEHYUNG
(Entered in a crisp suit, his posture respectful)
Butler (smiling): “Mr. Kim, the Chairman is expecting you. Please wait in the hall"
TAEHYUNG
(Nodded, looking around the vast home filled with expensive paintings and antique vases)
His eyes caught a large family portrait on the wall—an elegant man and woman with two children. Twins. Both faces resembled angels
Just then, footsteps thundered from the staircase
JUNGKOOK
(His black silk pajamas shimmered, his hair messy yet stylish)
JUNGKOOK
(He leaned on the railing, his eyes narrowing at the stranger in his house)
JUNGKOOK
(mocking) Grandfather ,Why is there a stranger in our mansion? Did you start hiring thugs as bodyguards now?
TAEHYUNG
(Stiffened but kept silent)
Dae-sung entered the hall, his cane clicking on the marble
JEON DAESUNG
(sternly) Jungkook. Show some respect. This man is Kim Taehyung. He saved my life. From today, he will manage our factory
JUNGKOOK
(scoffing loudly) Factory manager? HIM? He looks like he came straight out of prison
TAEHYUNG
(Jaw clenched. His fists tightened at his side, but he kept his composure)
TAEHYUNG
(quietly) I will do my duty sincerely, Chairman
JEON DAESUNG
(nodding) Good. I trust you
JUNGKOOK
(Let out a sharp laugh)
JUNGKOOK
Trust? Grandfather, you’ve gone soft. You’re letting some random thug handle our business? Don’t cry to me when he steals everything
JEON DAESUNG
(furious) Enough , Kim Taehyung is an honest man. That’s rare in this world. Learn to see value beyond money, Jungkook
JUNGKOOK
(Eyes flashed with anger)
JUNGKOOK
Do what you want. But don’t expect me to bow to him
JUNGKOOK
(Stormed up the stairs, leaving silence behind)
Taehyung exhaled softly, the insult still burning
TAEHYUNG
💭 Prison? He guessed too well… But I will not let my past define me
Far away in Japan, Jeon Gguk sat by a window, reading quietly. His mother, Jeon Soo-jin, scolded a servant for spilling tea
GGUK
(softly, looking out) Grandfather… I wonder if you think of me. If I will ever see you again
ME 😆
