##In Front of Suwon Station##

*The weather is nice and cold, fitting for the winter, as snowflakes make their way onto the ground. People at the station all are wearing their winter clothing, rubbing their hands together to stay warm. In the midst of the people moving into the station, Nayeon and her parents are talking, Nayeon's parents holding onto their daughter's hand with a firm grasp.*







Nayeon's Mom "Our daughter is finally going to university! And Korea University too! This is still shocking to me... I will miss our daughter! (With tears in her eyes)"


Nayeon "Mom... why are you crying again..."








There she goes again... it's been forever ago since I got my acceptance letter, why is she still tearing up?







Nayeon's Dad "(Whilst holding his own tears) Don't get discouraged even if where you are going is a big city. Study hard, make some friends, and live a little!"







Oh my god... why is dad like that too now?







Nayeon "(Keeping a smile on her face) You make it seem like I am graduating university or something~ It's getting cold mom and dad, you should start heading home~"







+Nayeon lets go of her parents hands, and reaches for her suitcase. She takes one step at a time, walking into the station+







Korea University... it is Korea's most elite university... Who would have thought that I would have gotten accepted? Sacrificed all of my youth... always studying... all left behind to go there... to think that I am really going to be a student there... You are strong Lim Nayeon.







+Nayeon walks a few more steps, but turns around to look at her parents one more time. Her parents, tearing up, looks at their daughter's back, proud as ever+







Nayeon's Dad "Go~ go in, it's getting cold! (As he smiles and waves)"


Nayeon's Mom "Careful Nayeon~ always contact me if you need anything!"







+Nayeon stands there frozen, looking at her parents+







I guess I will be free for once...! Living on my own without mom and dad... no one to nag at me for not doing homework.. no one to tell me that I dressed too cold for the weather...No mom or dad to rely on...







+Nayeon suddenly runs back and hugs her parents for the last time+







Nayeon "(with tears in her eyes) Mom...dad... please be well... I will miss you."







To be honest, I'm unconfident to live without my parents...










##Inside the train##

I finally got on the train after a tearful goodbye... I have to find my seat quickly, but how will I do that, when I never rode a train before? I never even left Suwon until now.







+Nayeon drags her suitcase, the size of her body, down the aisle+







Good lord what the heck did I pack in here...







Where is my seat...?
Hmm...
95A. There it is.







+Nayeon gathers all of the strength to lift her suitcase to put it away, but it does not end with a success+







How do they expect short people to put their luggage away? Do you have to be over 180cm to do so?! And I'm not even THAT short!







Nayeon "UGH"







Oh my god... Should I just put this under my seat?







+While Nayeon is busy making a decision about what to do with her luggage, someone approaches her from the back, and helps her put her luggage away. Surprised, she turns back to see a handsome boy, with slightly tanned skin, puppy dog eyes, sharp nose look at her+







Nayeon (About to have a heart attack) Oh my god...







Oh my god! Is he a celebrity? I've never seen anyone that looks like this in Suwon.







Nayeon "Thank you... (Bobbing her head in thanks)"







+Nayeon sits down after thanking the boy, only to find him sitting next to her+







Oh my god, I wonder why he is sitting here...
Is he 95B??
Am I going to be on this train, sitting beside this guy,
for more than 1 hour??
Is this a sign from God???







??? "I see that our seats are next to each other! (Smiles)"


Nayeon "Haha... Yeah, how about that..."







Ugh. Im Nayeon! You are something else!
Even if God gives you this golden chance,

you can't make out of it???
Say something, for Christ's sake!







??? "Are you going somewhere? (Smiling brightly)"


Nayeon "Huh? (Face turning red) Ye-yeah... Haha..."







Huh? What do you mean huh? No sh*t you are going somewhere! Please think for once!







??? "Haha...."







This is why you are forever alone, Lim Nayeon!
This handsome boy is politely making conversation with you, and you can't do ! What is life...







+Nayeon, to avoid the awkwardness, looks out the window, and puts on her headphones, turning on "Park Ji Yoon - Precious Love"+







Listening to songs always relaxes me...







+The train suddenly passes by a tunnel, in which Nayeon looking at the window, can clearly see the reflection of the passenger next to her, looking at her, holding in his laughter+







Why is he laughing?







+Nayeon turns back and looks at the boy next to her, and as the boy meets eyes with Nayeon. He bursts out laughing. Nayeon, getting frustrated, pauses her music, and takes the headphones out of her ears+







Nayeon "Excuse me, are you laughing at me?"







+The boy, holding in his laughter yet again, nods his head+







Nayeon "Why are you laughing at someone's face?"


??? "Im not laughing at your face, Im-"


Nayeon "Is being handsome everything? Why do you get to laugh at other's faces?"


??? "(Wide-eyed) huh??"







Huh? What-what did I just say?







Nayeon "(pretending like nothing happened) what? What is it? Why did you laugh at me?"







+The boy points at Nayeon's phone+







Nayeon "My phone? What's wrong with-?"







Oh my god, is he going to ask me for my number? Is the kind of stuff I read on the internet happening to me right now?







??? "Your..."


Nayeon: (with expectation)?"


??? "Your headphones aren't plugged into your phone."


Nayeon "What?"







+Nayeon looks at her phone and sees the headphone unplugged from her phone+








What? Why is this...? Then was I listening to this song on full volume?????







Nayeon "Ugh... kill me now..."








+Nayeon embarrassed, lowers her head, and turns her body towards the window, and her back towards the handsome boy+









??? "LOLOLOLOL"


Nayeon "Ugh.... (Covering her head)"


??? "Hey, what's your name?"










Why is he asking me for my name? Is he going to upload this story online for everyone to read? In that case... I shall never tell him my name.







+Nayeon acts as if she is snoring+

+The boy looks at Nayeon, who is acting like she is asleep, and crosses his arms+







??? "My name is Kim Taehyung."







Oh my god, why is he saying his name, do I LOOK like I wanted to know his name???







+Taehyung keeps on staring at Nayeon, while Nayeon doesn't move an inch+







Taehyung "Are you really sleeping?"







+Taehyung shakes his head, and puts his own headphones on and falls asleep.







//







*The train arrives at Seoul*








+Nayeon looks out the window, fascinated at what she sees. The beautiful city of Seoul, and 10 times more people than she sees at Suwon. Taehyung is still asleep+








Wow... I... I'm really here! Seoul! Will I be able to start a new life in this big city? Just thinking about it is complicated.








Taehyung "This must be your first time here."


Nayeon "(surprised) Huh?"


Taehyung "(smiling softly) did you move here? This is my home ground. HAHAHA!


Nayeon "Ha...ha..."







Why does he keep talking to me...? This is so awkward.








+People slowly take their luggage, leaving the train. However, Taehyung doesn't move an inch and keeps looking at Nayeon+









Nayeon "Uh, you going to go anytime soon?"


Taehyung "Uh... yeah! Going..."








+Taehyung grabs both his and Nayeon's luggage+







Is that why he waited...? That's... nice... of him... I guess...








Nayeon "(Blushing) Thanks..."


Taehyung "You're welcome!"











##Outside Seoul Station##

*People crowded left and right are walking by. Out of the crowd, a boy dressed to go to a hip hop concert, and a girl dressed very nicely waits restlessly for their friend.*








Jisoo "(looking at her watch) She's supposed to be here by now...."


Jiwon "Call her."


Jisoo "She texted me saying her phone was going to be out of battery."


Jiwon "Pfft-, who does she have to contact in order to run out of batteries? I call bull on this one!"


Jisoo "Shut up, it is possible, don't say about my baby."


Jiwon "(confused) huh...?"


Jisoo "what."


Jiwon "Okay, I'm sorry~ for whatever the heck I did wrong."


Jisoo "You should be."


Jiwon "Ugh!"


Jisoo "Stop dicking around and look to see if Nayeon is coming or not. Use your height for something!"


Jiwon "What the hell Jisoo~ (as he looks out)"










+Nayeon comes out of Seoul Station... with Taehyung walking beside her. He keeps making conversation with him, but she is looking straight and ignoring him+








Jiwon "Yo I see Nabongs~"


Jisoo "WHERE??"







+Nayeon and Taehyung walks out together; Taehyung staring at Nayeon+







Taehyung "What brings you to Seoul?"


Nayeon "To go to school..."


Taehyung "Oh~~ which school?"


Nayeon "University..."


Taehyung "Hahahaha yeah you're baby faced, but you don't look like you are a high schooler! You're not THAT young looking!"








Yeah... he is right... But is it my fault that I am just so awkward to talk to a stranger???







Nayeon "S-sorry."


Taehyung "How old are you?"


Nayeon "I was born in 1995."


Taehyung "Me too!"


Nayeon "Really? I mean... so cool..."








Where is Jisoo and Jiwon? They're probably looking for me...








Taehyung "Why can talk informally right? Being the same age and all."


Nayeon "Yeah, sure."







We won't EVER see each other again. What is he talking about?
There are so many weird people in this world... him topping the list.







Taehyung "What major?"


Nayeon "Business"


Taehyung "Business? What school?"


Nayeon "HanGuk University."










+Jisoo and Jiwon are running towards Nayeon from a distance







Jiwon "IM NABONGS~"


Nayeon "Oh-"







As much as I'm glad to meet him. What the HELL is Im Nabongs?
He is so stupid that retard.







Taehyung "They seem to be your friends-"


Nayeon "Yeah... thanks for helping me with my luggage! I MUST go now!"


Taehyung "Hey-"









+Nayeon bows at Taehyung, and runs to her friends+







Taehyung "Anyway..."







+Taehyung watches Nayeon run towards her friends+







Taehyung "Her name is Lim Nabong? Pffffttt"








+Taehyung slowly walks, laughing to himself. He then sees his friend waving to him+







Taehyung "Mr. Jimin~ how nice of you to pick me up...! What's the occasion? For a busy man like yourself to come all the way here to pick me up-"


Jimin "Shut up, and get in the car;;"


Taehyung "Ooh, sassy. Is this the new car?"







+Jimin ignores Taehyung and starts the car and drives off+












##Nayeon and Jisoo's Dorm _ Kitchen##

*The small yet cozy dorm is decorated with pastel tones all over the place*

+Nayeon, Jisoo, Jiwon is drinking beer while eating some fried chicken+








Nayeon "(taking a gulp of beer) Kyah~ Guys, do you know how much I went through just coming here from Suwon? Can't believe you guys made a head start, you traitors"


Jisoo "Hey! You are in no position to say what you want! I did all of THIS (pointing to their kitchen)"


Nayeon "Okay... I guess so... (Smiles brightly)"


Jiwon "Oh by the way, who was the guy next to you? He was hella handsome"


Jisoo "(Putting her can of beer down) oh yeah! Oh my god I can't believe I didn't ask! Who is he?"


Nayeon "Who...? (Thinks of how she met Taehyung on the train) Oh him? He was just a passenger that sat next to me."


Jisoo "That's it?"


Jiwon "Of course that's it! Do you think that our Nabongs can ever be more than that? Hahahahahahahahahaha"








+While Jiwon is laughing, Jisoo takes his beer can away, and glares at him+







Jisoo "Hey."


Jiwon "(Still laughing) ahahahahaha- oh what?"


Jisoo "Is this funny, to you?"


Jiwon "Yeah, hella funny."


Jisoo "Okay then you can go home."


Jiwon "What? Why?"


Jisoo "What do you mean what? JUST GO ALREADY!"


Nayeon "Its okay Jisoo... It's true... nothing happened."


Jisoo "He probably hit on you a billion times, but you didn't catch on."


Jiwon "You are so positive, Jisoo! HAHAHAH"


Jisoo "Shut. The hell up."


Jiwon "She always has something to say to me."


Jisoo "Nayeon, think! Nothing really happened?"


Nayeon "Yeah... (Thinking hard) nothing happened!"


Jisoo "I doubt that."


Jiwon "To be honest, what normal guy would want to hit on a girl who doesn't even wash her hair and dresses like sh*t?"


Jisoo "Oh, you STILL haven't left?"


Jiwon "It's not like I said anything wrong"


Jisoo "What would you know about how a normal guy's brain works? You were never sane to begin with."


Jiwon "Hey, I may look like this, but I got in Korea University with a full scholarship."


Jisoo "You're SO cool. You done talking? Then you can leave now. Or 5 hours ago when I told you to."


Jiwon "Geez, tell me when your off your time of the month! I will be waiting upstairs~"








+Jiwon leaves with a can of beer in his hands+







Jisoo "WHAT? TIME OF THE MONTH? HEY- Oh hell, I'm going to kill him"


Nayeon "Well, he isn't wrong... you know about the guy thing..."


Jisoo "About what? Are you really going to listen to that insanity that he blurted??"


Nayeon "It's because you're my friend that you think I'm not bad, but guys around me never notice me."


Jisoo "What are you even talking about"


Nayeon "You choose to be single... Me on the other hand..."


Jisoo "Choose? Are you serious right now?"


Nayeon "It's true. You're pretty, dress well, and you're have so much aegyo."


Jisoo "Huh?"


Nayeon "Okay maybe not that."


Jisoo "Yeah."







+Nayeon and Jisoo crack up+








Jisoo "Yeah, I mean, you did spend all of your youth on studying. You HAD no time."


Nayeon "It's fine, I always have been, I am, and I will be forever alone."


Jisoo "Hey! You're not too late! We have exactly-"


Nayeon "2 days before school starts?"


Jisoo "2 days is enough. Your features are already pretty. All you have to do is put some makeup on."


Nayeon "You say that like it is easy."


Jisoo "It is."


Nayeon "Well then... Teach me all you know."


Jisoo "Okay."







+Nayeon and Jisoo laugh, drinking one can of beer after another+







//Next Day//







+Jiwon opens the door to Nayeon and Jisoo's dorm, and sees that it became ten times messier than when he left. He sees delivery boxes everywhere, scattered amongst Nayeon and Jisoo's clothes and makeup. In the midst of it all, he sees Nayeon and Jisoo lying down like starfish+







Jiwon "I KNEW they were going to be like this... I mean, why are you drinking the day before school starts anyway?"







+Jiwon, used to the mess, grabs a plastic bag from under the sink, and start cleaning up. Jisoo wakes up to the loud noise made+







Jisoo "(Half asleep) Oh, you're here?"


Jiwon "I swear you guys-"


Jisoo "Hehe'"


Jiwon "Hehe?? Really??? Anyway, you going to sleep more or wake up already?"


Jisoo "I'm going to sleep more~"







+Jisoo hugs Nayeon, who is sleeping beside her sleeping like a corpse+







Jiwon "They should be glad I'm their friend. I should get volunteer hours or something for this."







//A few hours later//







+The kitchen is clean, as Jiwon is sitting down, legs crossed, and playing games on his phone+







Jiwon "What's taking so long?! We're going to a f*cking supermarket! Just put anything on for God's sake!"


Jisoo "(Yelling from her room) Oh my god!! Chill the down!"


Jiwon "Hey! Don't forget who cleaned this !"








+As Jiwon is yelling at the girls, Jisoo comes out of her room, all dressed up+








Jisoo "Yeah, so thanks for that, we SUPER appreciate it (shy smile)"


Jiwon "(looking away) where is Nabongs? She only has like 3 wardrobes"








+Nayeon comes out of the room dressed up for once+








Jiwon "Why are you dressed like a girl?"


Nayeon "Hey! I AM a girl."


Jiwon "...who...?"


Jisoo "KYAH~~ I told you this looks good on you! You pull it off so well!"


Nayeon "Really?"


Jisoo "You are smart after all, you're such a fast learner"


Nayeon "Well, I DID have a great teacher."


Jisoo "Hehe... well I had a good face to work on..."








+Nayeon and Jisoo are in their own worlds+








Jiwon "What the hell are you guys doing? Ugly girls complimenting each other like there's no tomorrow."


Jisoo "You DO know how funny it is coming out of YOUR mouth?"


Jiwon "And why are you dressed up anyway? We're going grocery shopping"


Jisoo "We needed to practice"


Jiwon "For what?"







+Jiwon walks out of the door, with Nayeon and Jisoo talking in their own world again+







Jiwon "(from the outside) you coming?"


Jisoo "Oh my god, you scared me. Yeah yeah. We are going."


Nayeon "Go go~"










##A grocery store near HanGuk University##

+Nayeon and Jisoo, linked in arms, looks around with excitement, as Jiwon is just pushing the cart around+







Jisoo "What do we need to buy again?"


Nayeon "Ummm. My mom packed me side dishes and kimchi... So rice?"


Jisoo "I already bought that"


Jiwon "Yeah, she bought a sh*t ton of rice."


Jisoo "Oh yeah he helped"


Jiwon "What do you mean he helped!? I almost lost my arms carrying all those bags of rice"


Jisoo "Do you even lift bro? Well it's going to last us the four years we are here."


Jiwon "(looks at her with confusion)"


Jisoo "What!"


Nayeon "Jisoo's SO smart"


Jiwon "I SERIOUSLY need some new friends. I'm so done with this "


Nayeon "(ignoring Jiwon) Ooh! There's a sale on Strawberry cakes!"







+Nayeon and Jisoo excitedly runs to the sale+








Jiwon "I thought we were buying staple food!"







+A few moments later, the cart Jiwon is pulling is packed with desserts+







Nayeon "Those look SO good."


Jisoo "How many should we buy?"


Nayeon "How about one cake per person?"


Jisoo "How else to eat it?"


??? "Oh~ you eat more than I thought!"







What the heck? Did Jiwon sound like this? Did he give up cigs or something? His voice sounds different...







Nayeon "You're complimenting us for once, Jiwon. So rare to see."


Jisoo "Um... Nayeon..."







+Jisoo turns around, standing frozen+







Nayeon "Okay why isn't anyone replying... who am I talking to here?"








+Nayeon also turns back+








Nayeon "(gasps)"








+Behind Nayeon is Taehyung, dressed in sweatpants, looking at Nayeon+








The boy from the train? Why is he here?







Taehyung "Oh I was right! It is you, Im Nabong!"








+Taehyung takes a step toward Nayeon+








+Nayeon, surprised to see him, drops the strawberry cake+
