Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{rummages furiously through drawers}
Where is it?! Where did you put it, you little curse?!
Young Han yoon
...I don't know what you're talking about, Stepmom
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
Don't lie to me! My pills! My bottle was on the table this morning!
Young Han yoon
Dad said those pills are making you sick... I threw them away
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{gasping in rage}
YOU DID WHAT?!
Young Han yoon
{flinches}
They're bad for you... Dad works all day so we can afford medicine, not…
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{grabs him by his collar, shaking him}
Shut up! Shut up! Who do you think you are?!
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
You think because you get top scores in school you can lecture me?! You're just a leech!
Young Han yoon
{tears forming in his eyes, holding back a cry}
I'm sorry...
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{shoves him hard onto the floor}
Your father isn't here to save you! He's never here!
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
Mi-sook! What is all this screaming about?! I could hear you from the hallway!
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{instantly changes tone, wiping her face}
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
Oh, look who decided to come home. Your golden son threw away my prescription!
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{sighs heavily, rubbing his temples}
Mi-sook, please... I just worked a 14-hour shift
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
I'm dead tired. Can we not do this today?
Young Han yoon
{quietly stands up}
Dad... welcome home. Have you eaten?
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{looks at Yoon, offering a small, weak smile}
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
Not yet, Yoon-ah. Look at you... always so thoughtful
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
Did you get your test results back today?
Young Han yoon
{nods slightly, small smile appearing}
Young Han yoon
Yes. Perfect score again. The teacher said......
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{knocks a chair over}
ENOUGH! Always about him! Yoon this, Yoon that!
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
I'm starving, Dae-hyun! Where's the money for dinner?!
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{frustrated}
I gave you money yesterday! Where did it go?!
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{screams}
It went to bills! You don't make enough! You leave me here all day with this brat!
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{grabs his jacket}
I can't listen to this
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
I'm going back to the site overnight for overtime
Young Han yoon
{eyes widen, grabbing his father's sleeve}
Dad... don't go. Please stay tonight
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{pats Yoon's head gently}
I have to, son. We need the money
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
Be a good boy and study hard, okay?
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't end up like me
Young Han yoon
{lets go of sleeve}
...Okay, Dad. Be safe
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{glares at Yoon with intense hatred}
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
Look at that pretty little face... Just like your real mother.......So innocent.......So loved
Young Han yoon
{backs away slowly}
Stepmom... I'll go boil some water for your ramen
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{walks slowly toward the kitchen}
Yes... go boil the kettle
Small kitchen....Steam rises from an electric kettle
Young Han yoon
{carefully lifts the boiling kettle with a towel}
Stepmom, the water is ready......
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{stands right in front of him, face twisted}
You ruined my high today, Yoon-ah
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{grabs his wrist tightly}
Let's see if anyone calls you PRETTY!! after this
Young Han yoon
{panics}
Stepmom! What are you......Ah! No!
Choi Mi-sook forcibly tilts the kettle straight onto the left side of Yoon's face
Young Han yoon
[devastating scream]
Young Han yoon
AAAAAHHHH! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! STO-OP! AAAAAAAGH! [cry ]
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
{drops the kettle, staggering back, laughing hysterically}
Choi Mi-sook(step mother)
Look at you now! Look at your perfect face!
Young Han yoon

Young Han yoon

Choi Mi-sook(step mother)

Hospital Hallway - Two weeks later
Han Dae-hyun sits on a bench, head in hands, weeping then Sister Kim Hye-jin approaches
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
Mr. Han...?
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{looks up, eyes red}
Sister Kim... How is he?
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
The doctors saved his eye, but... the third-degree burns left severe, permanent scarring across the left side of his face and neck
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{sobs}
It's my fault... I left him alone with her...
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
I didn't know she was using drugs again...
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{places a hand on his shoulder}
And Choi Mi-sook...?
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{stares empty-eyed at the floor}
An overdose... She took everything she had right after doing that to him
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
The police found her body the next morning
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{gasps quietly}
Lord have mercy...
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
I can't give him the medical care he needs, Sister... I'm drowning in debt
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
I'm working 20 hours a day just to pay hospital bills... I can't even take care of him properly...
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{looks toward the hospital room door}
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
Let me take him to Hope Children's Home. He will have shelter, meals, and education
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
You can focus on recovering and visiting him when you can
Han Dae-hyun(yoon father)
{bows his head deeply}
Thank you... Thank you, Sister...
Han Yoon sits on the bed, left side of his face wrapped entirely in medical bandages
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{enters gently with a small bag}
Yoon-ah... Are you feeling okay today?
Young Han yoon
{stares blankly out the window}
...Where is Dad?
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{sits beside him}
He had to work... but he loves you very much, Yoon-ah
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
Starting today, you'll be staying with me at a very nice place with other children
Young Han yoon
{touches his bandages with trembling fingers}
Sister... why won't anyone let me look in a mirror?
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
Because... you don't need to look at a mirror to know who you are. You're a brave, smart boy
Young Han yoon
{whispers, a tear sliding down his right uninjured cheek}
Young Han yoon
I'm ugly now... aren't I?
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{hugs him tightly}
No, my child. Never say that

I hope you enjoy the cs 😞

Hope Children's Orphanage - Courtyard. A few weeks later
Yoon's bandages are off. A red, raised, deep scar covers his left cheek down to his jawline
Orphan (any one)
{points at Yoon}
Look at him! Eww! What's wrong with his face
Orphan girl (anyone)
{covers her face}
Monster! Don't look at him! It looks like a demon bit him!
Young Han yoon
{pulls his hair down over his left eye, walking faster with his head down}
Orphan (any one)
{throws a small pebble at Yoon's back}
Hey, Monster! Go away! You're creeping everyone out!
yoon hold his book tightly to his chest, walking silently toward a bench under a large tree far away from everyone
Young Han yoon
I don’t need friends 💭
Orphanage Gate - Sunday morning. A bright sunny day
A luxury black sedan pulls up
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{smiles warmly, walking out}
Welcome! Mr. and Mrs. Kang!
Kang Jae-ho
Good morning, Sister Kim!
Kang Jae-ho
We brought the monthly supplies and some fresh pastries for the children
Kang Soo-yeon
{steps out, carrying boxes of fruit}
And some warm winter clothing as well!
A 10-year-old boy steps out of the back seat. Handsome, bright eyes, sharp clean clothes, carrying a small soccer ball and a basket of cookies
Young min jae
Hello, Sister Kim!
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
{pats Min-jae's head}
Ah, Min-jae-ah! You've grown so much!
Sister Kim Hye-jin(orphan director)
The kids are all in the playground waiting for snacks
All the orphanage kids cheer and rush toward Mr. and Mrs. Kang to get snacks and toys
Orphan (any one)
{excited}
Yay! Snacks! Thank you!
Kang Soo-yeon
{distributing treats, smiling, then pauses}
Kang Soo-yeon
{looks toward the big tree in the far corner}
Kang Soo-yeon
Jae-ho... look at that little boy sitting by himself over there under the shade. He isn't coming over
Kang Jae-ho
Ah... that must be the new child Sister Kim told us about. Poor kid...
Young min jae
{looks toward the tree, noticing the boy sitting with a heavy textbook, hair covering half his face}
Young min jae
{picks up two chocolate muffins from the basket}
Kang Soo-yeon
{surprised}
Min-jae? Where are you going?
Young min jae
To make a new friend!
Young Han yoon
{tracing math equations with a pencil, completely absorbed}
Young min jae
{stands in front of him, smiling brightly}
Hi!
Young Han yoon
{startles, quickly pulls his hair further down to hide his left side}
Young min jae
Why are you sitting all the way out here?
Young min jae
The pastries over there are really good! Here, I brought you one!
Min-jae offers a fresh chocolate muffin
Young Han yoon
{stares at the muffin, then at Min-jae in disbelief}
Young Han yoon
...Aren't you scared of me?
Young min jae
{blinks, tilted head}
Scared?
Young min jae
Why would I be scared of someone reading a math book? You look really smart!
Young Han yoon
{hesitates}
My... my face...
Young min jae
{looks at him warmly, no disgust in his eyes at all}
Young min jae
I don't care about that! My name is Kang Min-jae!
Young min jae
What's your name?
Young Han yoon
{gaze softens slightly, holding the muffin with trembling hands}
Young Han yoon
..Han... Han Yoon
Young min jae
{smiles widely}
Young min jae
Nice to meet you, Yoon-ah! From today, let me be your Sunday friend!
