Hyunbin: Ji, Jihoon-ah! Fancy seeing you here?
SFX: stand up/flinch
Hyunbin: it seems like a misunder...yeah it seems you might have misunderstood something. I was going to contact you but Kang Eden, he...
Jihoon grabs Hyunbin by the collar
SFX: chilly air(?) *it's kind of a nonsense sound that is used when a cold breeze goes through leaves*
Hyunbin: Ji, Jihoon-ah.
Jihoon: Hyung. This is your first and last warning. If you ever go near Eden again...I will come for you.
tn: what Jihoon says literally translates to "I will not leave you alone" but it's a very threatening phrase in this context. It's kinda like saying "I will beat your ass" but that sounds too silly so I didn't use it haha
SFX: Jihoon releases Hyunbin's collar and pushes him away
Hyunbin (internally): Gong Jihoon, you really...!
change to the next morning at the hotel breakfast bar
Eden: good morning...
Dajung Manager: Ah Eden-ssi- what will you have for break...oh my god! What happened, why is your face like that?!
tn: Eden has big dark circles and just doesn't look very well
SFX: tired face
Eden: I just didn't sleep very well last night.
Dajung Manager: Oh my, is that so? Was the room uncomfortable? How about Jihoon-ssi? Why didn't you come down together?
Eden (internally): Jihoon Sunbae...in the end we didn't get to talk last night. Sunbae didn't even come back.
Dajung Manager: ah, Jihoon-ssi~ you're here?
Eden: Jihoon Sunbae?!
SFX: turn around quickly
Jihoon (internally): it's still a bit awkward...
Eden (internally): what, what should I say?
Jihoon (internally): ...should I just avoid him for now?
Eden (internally): Jihoon sunbae- ignored me. This is to be expected. I've been so spoiled until now. but...disappointed...
in the hotel room. Eden is in the dressing room. It seems like this hotel has a dressing room/bathroom that is separate from an actual bathing room where the shower and bathtub are.
Eden (internally): Sunbae, is probably still so mad right?
SFX: Eden takes off his shirt
Eden remembers Jihoon's angry face from the night before
Eden (internally): Really are you insane, Kang Eden?
SFX: depressed/gloomy/sad
Eden (internally): How should I apologize to him...
SFX: spacing out
Eden(internally): What if apologizing would just be poking at the sleeping dog?
tn: Eden uses a proverb that translates closely to the proverb "let sleeping dogs lie"
Eden walks into the bathing room. Jihoon is sitting in a bubble bath. Eden doesn't notice and walks right past him into the shower and turns on the water. (tn: the bathtub and shower are separate)
SFX: difficult
Eden: ah, what do I do.
Jihoon (muttering): this idiot...
tn: literally: "good job" this is full sarcasm. it's commonly used when you see somebody doing something stupid lol
Eden (internally): I need to just speak honestly with him.
SFX: turns off the water
Eden: good...!
SFX: hoooo
Jihoon: what's good?
Eden: SU, SUNBAE! SINCE WHEN...?
Jihoon: since before you came in. I guess you really didn't know.
SFX: shock
Eden: I, I'm sorry. I didn't even know you were here...I'll go now...
Jihoon: What's the problem?
Eden: huh?
Jihoon: We're both men aren't we?
Eden: if, if that's the case...since we're both men...
Eden climbs into the other side of the bathtub
tn: omg Eden??????
Eden: it's ok right?
Jihoon: ...uh, sure.
Eden (internally): ...but I should speak truthfully right? not saying anything...making him worried?
Jihoon: I'm sorry for yesterday.
Eden: huh?
Jihoon: You also must have been really scared- I went crazy and didn't even think of that. because...
SFX: Eden blushes
Jihoon: I was...worried.
SFX: ba-bump
SFX: ba-bump
SFX: ba-bump
Jihoon: Eden-ah, say someth...
SFX: Eden stands up quickly
Eden: Su, Sunbae doesn't have to be sorry. It was all my fault...!
Eden (internally): this is weird...something went wrong.
SFX: ba-bump
Eden: ah, ahh~ I was in here too long.
Eden (internally): Don't do that...!
SFX: ba-bump
Eden: I'll get out firs...
SFX: ba-bump
SFX: crash
Eden slips and falls into Jihoon's arms. Jihoon catches him/embraces him
Jihoon: anyways, when I'm with you even 10 hearts wouldn't be enough.
SFX: haaa...
Jihoon: you're not hurt right?
Eden (internally): There's no reason for my heart to feel like it's gonna explode like this...!
