Chapter 26

IN SOO JOONG'S MANSION

VAL IS SEATED IN SOO JOONG'S ARM ON THE COUCH

Soo joong: you've been disturbing me about the apartment, I promised so I got it

Valentina: (excited) really?!

Soo joong: (a bit sad) yeah, it seems you don't wanna live with me anymore

SHE SAT UP AND TURN TO FACE HIM

Valentina: are you kidding, I've had the best time of my life living with you

Soo joong: then why do you wanna leave?

Valentina: cause... you're my boss, I'm not meant to be in your house, it's improper and you are a guy and a lady

Soo joong: so?!

Valentina: and besides you touch me almost everyday and...and I don't wanna get addicted cause it seems like I am

SHE HOLDS HIS CHEEK

Valentina: I don't wanna leave you, (whispers) I never want to

Soo joong: huh?!

Valentina: I'm just saying what will people say?

Soo joong: stop caring about what people say

Valentina: I don't but I...I care about my reputation as a lady, as a child of the adesegun family, as me, cause when people know that we live to together they'll call me a slut

Soo joong: (angry) no one will dare call you that

Valentina: but there's nothing you can do about it, you can't shut everyone, they might not say it in front of me but they will totally say it at my back

Soo joong: I understand

SHE LEAVES HIS CHEEKS AND STANDS

Valentina: well, let me go change so we can check out the apartment

SHE SMILE AND LEAVES

Soo joong: (sighs) why do I feel like this, I feel like she belongs to me, I just wanna protect her, I don't want her to leave

.....

IN THE CAR

DRIVING

Valentina: are we there yet

Soo joong: for the tenth time today, not yet but.. we'll be there soon

Valentina: yay, am so excited

Soo joong: is there a way to stop you from leaving

Valentina: I'm not leaving the country

Soo joong: it seems like you are

HE DRIVES INTO THE CAR PARK IF A BUILDING

.....

THEY OPEN THE DOOR OF A ROOM AND STEP IN

THE ROOM HAD WHITE CURTAINS AND WAS PAINTED WHITE BUT THE CHAIRS WERE RED, THEY WENT INTO THE ROOMS, THE BED WAS A KING SIZE BED WITH RED DUVET, AND THE KITCHEN WAS SPOTLESS WHITE SO WAS THE BATHROOM, THEY WENT BACK TO THE SITTING ROOM.

Valentina: wow, nice, I love it

SHE HUGS HIM

Valentina: thanks, I really love it

SOO JOONG DOESN'T LOOKS HAPPY, HE HATES THE FACT SHE'S LEAVING

.....

AT NIGHT

IN THE BATH TUB

SOO JOONG IS HELPING VAL WATCH HER HAIR AS SHE JUST LOOSE HER BRAIDS

Soo joong: your hair is so thick, long and curly

Valentina: so you like it

Soo joong: yeah, I don't want you add fake hair to it, I like it natural

Valentina: ok, I've heard you

Soo joong: do you have to go tomorrow

Valentina: you sound like a child with thick, hot voice, I don't think we should talk about it, this is my last night here

Soo joong: no, it's not

Valentina: ok, it's not, but I can't come here and spend the night everyday

HE TAKES THE SHOWER HEAD AND BEGAN TO WATCH THE SOAP OFF HER HAIR

Soo joong: you can

Valentina: I'm not your girlfriend, you know, and you treat me like I am , I could get used to that

SOO JOONG BECAME SILENT, VAL LOOKS AT HIS TO SEE HIS FACE BUT HIS FACE WAS COLD AND LIFELESS, SHE SIGHS, STANDS AND LEAVES THE BATHROOM LEAVING HIM IN THE TUB

........

THE NEXT DAY,

VAL WENT TO THE APARTMENT WITH HER STUFF AND SOO JOONG WENT ALONG SAYING HE WANTS TO HELP HER PACK IN

IN THE EVENING

Valentina: it's time to leave

Soo joong: what if you need someone

Valentina: (cuts in) I need no one for now, go home

SHE PUSHES HIM OUTSIDE

Soo joong: what if

SHE CLOSED THE DOOR

.......

*ALL THE DIALOGUE HERE IS IN KOREAN*

THE NEXT DAY

SOO JOONG IS SITTING ON THE COUCH WITH THE TV REMOTE IN HIS HAND AS HE TRIES TO FIND WHAT TO WATCH

Soo joong: if she was hear, I wouldn't waste time on this piece of shit

Mrs Kim: my darling son

HE TURNS TO SEE HIS MOTHER IN HIS HOUSE

Soo joong: (in anger) what are you doing here

Mrs. Kim: I came to see my son

Soo joong: you don't have a son here

Mrs. Kim: come on, don't say that, I came to see you

Soo joong: you left me when I was 10 and never looked back and you are here

Mrs Kim: has it been 20 years already

Soo joong: how did you find where I live

Mrs. Kim: come on, you are famous, I liked you, so hardworking and handsome, I wish you were my son so I checked into your background and turns out you are my son

Soo joong: you know, dad died because of you

Mrs Kim: aww too bad, but he didn't die because of me, he was too poor to take care of himself

Soo joong: (more angry) who let you in, Hyung! Hyung!

AN ELDERLY MAN CAME IN

Soo joong: take her out of here, and never let her in, I don't want trash in my house

Mrs. Kim: Kim Soo Joong, am your mother

Soo joong: (shouts) take her out now

HYUNG TRIES TO PULL HER OUT, SHE FREES HERSELF AND WALKS OUT IN ANGER

......

*NOTE: STILL IN KOREAN*

HYUNG WAS TALKING TO THE MAIDS AND SERVANTS

Hyung: I've never seen him that angry before, the woman said she was his mother

Maid 1: Mr Kim never loses his cool, what about Ms. Valentina

Maid 2: she left yesterday

Hyung: she might make him calm down, he seems to take interest in her

THEY ALL AGREE.....
