A PEACE OF MY HEART
[ EPI _ 1 ]
The shrill sound of an alarm cut through the quiet morning
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Groaned, turning over in his bed, his hand blindly searching for his phone)
After a few failed attempts, he finally grabbed it and silenced the alarm
He squinted at the screen
KIM TAEHYUNG
(muttering) What… already morning?
KIM TAEHYUNG
(He let out a long sigh, running a hand through his messy hair before dragging himself out of bed)
The sunlight slipped through the curtains, making him wince
KIM TAEHYUNG
Why does morning always come so fast…
Still half asleep, he walked into the bathroom, brushing his teeth while staring blankly at the mirror
KIM TAEHYUNG
(to himself) Today… I’ll wake up earlier than Dad. Definitely
KIM TAEHYUNG
...Not happening
Namjoon sat comfortably on the sofa, legs crossed, deeply focused on the newspaper
the empty coffee cup rested on the table beside him.
KIM NAMJOON
(Flipped the page calmly)
Meanwhile, in the kitchen
Jin moved around with practiced ease, preparing breakfast. The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the house
Taehyung slowly walked downstairs, still adjusting his shirt
KIM TAEHYUNG
(He glanced at his father and sighed dramatically)
KIM TAEHYUNG
Good morning, Dad
KIM NAMJOON
Good morning, my son
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Dropped himself onto the couch)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(sighing) Why can’t I ever wake up before you?
KIM NAMJOON
(Folded the newspaper neatly and leaned back) (smirking) Because you’re still a small boy
KIM NAMJOON
Me? I’ve been doing this for more than thirty years
KIM SEOK JIN
(Holding two cups of coffee, placing one in front of Namjoon and one near Taehyung)
KIM SEOK JIN
Have you started bragging this early in the morning?
KIM NAMJOON
(Took a sip calmly) If i say anything about your son, your nose will sweat
KIM SEOK JIN
(Raised an eyebrow) Oh really? And you act like you never say anything when I talk about your son?
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Quietly sipped his coffee, pretending not to exist)
KIM JIMIN
(Stretching lazily)
KIM JIMIN
Why are you dragging my name into your fight, Mom?
KIM SEOK JIN
(Turned to him instantly) Because I can’t say anything about your dad
KIM JIMIN
(Blinked) Mom… are you a teacher or a police officer?
KIM SEOK JIN
Why are you asking that now? 🧐
KIM JIMIN
Just answer me , mom
KIM SEOK JIN
(Crossed his arms proudly) I am not a teacher. I am a professor
KIM JIMIN
(Tried to hold back his laughter) You’ve been asking questions since morning, making everyone stand like criminals… that’s why I asked
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Snorted, quickly covering his mouth)
KIM NAMJOON
(Coughed to hide his laugh)
KIM SEOK JIN
(Narrowed his eyes)
KIM SEOK JIN
(dramatically) Joon, have you seen how your son is talking to me?
He turned to look at Namjoon and Taehyung
…but both seats were empty.
He turned back to Jimin slowly
KIM SEOK JIN
When did they both leave?
KIM JIMIN
(Burst out laughing)
KIM JIMIN
While we were talking, they winked at me… and ran away.
KIM JIMIN
(still laughing) They just disappeared
KIM SEOK JIN
(Placed his hands on his hips)
KIM SEOK JIN
Is all this happening in this house?
KIM SEOK JIN
(Took a deep breath, trying to calm himself—but failed)
KIM SEOK JIN
Let them come back home…
KIM JIMIN
(Stepped back slightly)
KIM SEOK JIN
(smiling dangerously) They have to come back, right? 😈
KIM SEOK JIN
I’ll take care of them
KIM JIMIN
(Couldn’t stop laughing anymore)
Meanwhile, outside the house—
Taehyung and Namjoon were rushing toward the car
KIM TAEHYUNG
(whispering) Dad, run faster
KIM NAMJOON
I’m running! You think escaping your mother is easy?
They both got into the car quickly
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Looked back at the house nervously)
KIM TAEHYUNG
Do you think Mom noticed?
KIM NAMJOON
(Started the engine) If she didn’t… then I don’t know your mother
They both froze for a second
[ EPI _ 2 ]
The house was quieter than usual… but only for a moment
JUNGKOOK
(shouting) Mom , I’ve been calling you for so long! Where are you?
JUNGKOOK
(Walked around his room, frustrated, a towel loosely wrapped around his body as he searched through his messy wardrobe)
JUNGKOOK
Where is it… where is my lucky dress…
HOBI
(walking in) I’ve been asking you something for a long time, and you didn’t answer, so I—
HOBI
(Eyes widened in shock)
HOBI
(slowly) How many times have I told you not to walk around the house like this?
JUNGKOOK
(Looked down at himself, then back at Hobi)
HOBI
(facepalming) Your grandmother has spoiled you too much
JUNGKOOK
(Quickly tightened the surrounding towel)
JUNGKOOK
I’m looking for my lucky dress! I called you to ask where you kept it
HOBI
(Sighed deeply, walked straight to the cupboard, pulled out a neatly folded outfit, and handed it to him)
HOBI
(Turned around immediately) Now go change quickly
JUNGKOOK
(Stared at the clothes like they were treasure)
JUNGKOOK
(whispering dramatically) My lucky dress
JUNGKOOK
(Hugged it and smiled like a crazy person)
HOBI
(Walked out, still shaking his head, and went to the kitchen)
HOBI
(Poured himself a cup of coffee, trying to calm down)
HOBI
(muttering) This boy will be the end of me
With the coffee in hand, he walked toward another room
An elderly woman sat comfortably on the bed, reading a book
This was Soon Ja, Jungkook’s grandmother
HOBI
(Entered with a soft smile)
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Looked up warmly)
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
Good morning, my son
HOBI
(Placed coffee Cup beside the table )
Hobi sat beside her and gently hugged her
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(smiling) Has my princess woken up?
HOBI
(Expression instantly changed) 😒
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Noticed immediately)
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
What happened? Why did your face change like that all of a sudden?
HOBI
(Crossed his arms) Ma… you’ve spoiled him too much
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Chuckled softly and stroked his hair) i love him so much
HOBI
(Pouted) what about me then
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Opened her arms wide) Oh, my baby, come here
HOBI
(Face lit up instantly. He hugged her tightly)
HOBI
(smiling) I’m not a baby… I’m a mom
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Laughed)
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
You’ll always be my baby
JUNGKOOK
What’s going on here without me?
JUNGKOOK
Yeah, Soon Ja… how dare you hug him like that? That hug is only for me
HOBI
(Slowly pulled away from the hug.
Then turned toward Jungkook)
JUNGKOOK
(thinking) $hit I forgot mom was here… This is the end… today is my last day…
HOBI
(Stood up and walked toward him)
JUNGKOOK
(Immediately started stepping backward)
JUNGKOOK
(nervous laugh) Mom… I’m sorry…
HOBI
How many times have I told you to respect elders?
HOBI
(He reached for Jungkook’s ear)
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(in pain) Ahh…
Both of them turned instantly
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Holding her leg)
HOBI
(Rushed to her) Ma , What happened?
HOBI
How did this happen? Mom
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Held Hobi’s hand)
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(softly) I tried to get down… and hit the side of the bed…
JUNGKOOK
(Panicked) Grandma, wait! I’ll bring hot water
Jungkook rushed in, searching for things in panic.
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
Hobi… go check him. He’ll hurt himself
HOBI
(Nodded and quickly went out)
Hobi entered the kitchen and saw Jungkook almost spilling hot water
HOBI
(He took over and pointed toward the room)
JUNGKOOK
(Nodded and ran back)
Jungkook sat beside Soon Ja
JUNGKOOK
(worried) Grandma… does it hurt a lot?
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Looked at him
…and winked ) 😉
JUNGKOOK
(blinked) Wait… what?
JUNGKOOK
(Leaned closer) (whispering) You’ve been pretending?! I really thought you were hurt
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Smiled mischievously)
JUNGKOOK
(Burst into laughter and hugged her tightly) My Soon Ja
JUNGKOOK
(He kissed her cheek)
JUNGKOOK
again Don’t scare me like that
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
Only kisses? Don’t you love me?
JUNGKOOK
(grinning) Wow… my naughty Soon Ja! Your Kookie loves you so much
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
I love you too, my dear
HOBI
(Cleared his throat) Ahem
Jungkook and Soon Ja slowly turned
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
😶😶😶😶
They looked at each other
JUNGKOOK
(whispering) We’re dead
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(whispering back) We’re definitely dead
HOBI
(Crossed his arms.
His face? Expressionless) No breakfast today
He turned and walked away coldly
JUNGKOOK
(Grabbed Soon Ja’s hand dramatically) Grandma… we need a plan
SOON JA / KOOKIE'S GRANDMA
(Nodded seriously) Mission: Survive Hobi
They both looked toward the door in fear
[ EPI _ 3 ]
They looked at each other.
Not even a single plate clinking from the kitchen
KIM NAMJOON
(suspicious) Tae… why is the house so silent?
Taehyung Narrowed his eyes at the door like it was a trap
KIM TAEHYUNG
Dad… I’ve been with you this whole time. How would I know?
They both swallowed nervously
KIM TAEHYUNG
(whispering) This is worse than shouting…
KIM NAMJOON
(whispering back) Silence means planning
Before they could take another step
KIM JIMIN
(suddenly appearing) Why are you both looking like that?
KIM JIMIN
(calm, dramatic) The storm hasn’t even crossed the shore yet
KIM JIMIN
(Leaned closer) (smirking) It’s centered right here at home
KIM TAEHYUNG
oh I’ll go first, Dad
KIM TAEHYUNG
You come after me. Otherwise, I won’t even get my coffee
KIM NAMJOON
(Scoffed) Your mom gives me coffee?
KIM NAMJOON
(Crossed his arms) No. he gives me hot water without sugar. I don’t need that kind of coffee
KIM JIMIN
(Eyes widened with excitement)
KIM JIMIN
Oh really? Should I go tell Mom you said that?
KIM NAMJOON
Why would you do that?
KIM JIMIN
Grinning) For entertainment
KIM NAMJOON
If not… should we all just stand on top of the table?
Taehyung and Jimin stared at him
KIM NAMJOON
Why are you both looking at me like that?
KIM NAMJOON
This is all part of convincing your mom
KIM TAEHYUNG
Look at you dad … you married a professor, and now we’re both suffering
KIM NAMJOON
(Gasped) If your mother hears even one word of this
KIM NAMJOON
(Dramatically) we should forget about food forever
KIM JIMIN
(Suddenly stepped forward) dad
KIM NAMJOON
(Looked at him)
KIM JIMIN
(innocently) If you divorce Mom… you’ll get good coffee.. And we’ll get a new mom
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Turned slowly)
KIM NAMJOON
Tae. Stay silent
KIM NAMJOON
I thought about it once too…but
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Eyes widened)
KIM NAMJOON
but your mother somehow found out
KIM JIMIN
(Gasped dramatically) Did mom hit you with the scale?
KIM JIMIN
(He covered his mouth, trying not to laugh)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Elbowed his dad )
KIM TAEHYUNG
Don’t laugh too much jimin
KIM TAEHYUNG
The consequences will be worse than that
KIM JIMIN
Hyung, you shut up… Dad, you continue
KIM JIMIN
(grinning) Did Mom really do that? 😏
KIM NAMJOON
(Sighed deeply, as if recalling a traumatic memory) It would’ve been fine if he just got angry…
KIM NAMJOON
He made me sit down and taught me for an entire day
KIM NAMJOON
About what family is
KIM JIMIN
(Burst out laughing)
KIM JIMIN
(Turned away, holding his stomach.But suddenly—His laughter stopped)
KIM JIMIN
(He turned back)
Walked silently behind Taehyung
And stood there like an innocent child. Holding onto Taehyung’s shoulder.
KIM NAMJOON
(Looked at him, confused) We’re just talking. Why are you calling me like a broken record?
He shifted his eyes slightly.
Pointing.
KIM NAMJOON
(Followed his gaze)
KIM SEOK JIN
(Arms crossed)
KIM SEOK JIN
(Eyes locked on them)
KIM JIMIN
(Tightened his grip behind Taehyung)
KIM JIMIN
(whispering) We’re finished…
KIM TAEHYUNG
(bright voice) Mom! What are you making for breakfast?
KIM TAEHYUNG
It smells really delicious… Did you make rice and soup?
Jin didn’t say a single word
KIM SEOK JIN
(And went into his room.Door closes)
KIM NAMJOON
(Slowly turned to Taehyung) (low voice) Tae… what do we do now?
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Looked at him in disbelief) You’re asking now?
KIM TAEHYUNG
After doing everything possible to make things worse?
KIM NAMJOON
(Looked slightly guilty)
KIM JIMIN
(Stepped forward, dramatic as always)
KIM JIMIN
Mom probably thinks we’re all planning to leave him behind…
KIM JIMIN
You should’ve told me earlier, hyung
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Stared at him) Really?
KIM TAEHYUNG
(He pointed between Namjoon and Jimin) I’ve been giving signals this entire time
KIM TAEHYUNG
But both of you ignored me and kept talking
KIM JIMIN
(Crossed his arms) If you had just said ‘Mom’ instead of ‘Dad, Dad , Jimin’…
KIM JIMIN
we wouldn’t be in this situation
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Ran a hand through his hair) (calming himself) We can’t change what already happened
KIM NAMJOON
(Nodded slowly)
