THE WRONG TABLET

​[The story begins in the grand, quiet library of Saint Xavier’s High School. The evening sun shines through the large glass windows. Sitting at the corner table is Han Ji-Ah, a quiet girl with messy bangs, wearing her neat school uniform. On the outside, she looks like an average student studying hard. But on her screen, her fingers are typing at lightning speed.]

​Ji-Ah: (Muttering to herself, smiling brightly) Yes! This is the perfect climax scene. My readers are going to lose their minds tonight.

​[Ji-Ah is actually the famous anonymous writer "Luna," author of the internet's number one trending teen romance web novel. Nobody in her school knows her secret identity. She is so focused on typing her passionate romantic scene that she doesn't notice the tall, handsome boy standing right behind her.]

​Kang Seo-Jun: (In a cold, strict voice) The library closed five minutes ago. And electronic devices are strictly prohibited during self-study hours.

​Ji-Ah: (Jumps in her seat, quickly hiding her tablet screen against her chest) Wh-Who is that?!

​[She turns around and sees Kang Seo-Jun, the elite class monitor and the school's most popular but cold-hearted boy. He is looking down at her with sharp eyes, adjusting his perfect uniform tie.]

​Seo-Jun: Hand over the device, Han Ji-Ah. It goes straight to the principal's office.

​Ji-Ah: (Panicking, thinking about her secret novel) No way! Monitor, please! I was just... checking my school schedule. Look, the library is empty anyway. Please let it go just this once!

​Seo-Jun: (Sighs, looking at his expensive watch) I don't like breaking the rules. Pack your bags and leave right now. If I see this device again, I will confiscate it.

​[Suddenly, the heavy library doors creak open. The strict head librarian walks in, looking around with a flashlight.]

​Librarian: Who is making noise in here? The library is closed!

​Ji-Ah: (Gasping in fear) Oh no, we are dead.

​[In a complete panic, Ji-Ah quickly shoves her notebook and the tablet from the table into her backpack. Seo-Jun also quickly grabs his identical black tablet from the desk. Without looking, they both grab their bags and rush toward the back exit to avoid getting caught.]

​[Cut to later that night. Ji-Ah is comfortably lying in her bed, holding a glass of warm milk. She unzips her backpack to pull out her pink-pouched tablet to check her views, but as she pulls it out, her jaw drops in horror.]

​Ji-Ah: (Screaming, dropping her milk glass) What on earth is this?! Black leather case? Heavy metallic body?

​[She turns on the screen. Instead of her writing app, the screen displays a locked home page filled with advanced physics software and a login name: "Kang Seo-Jun."]

​Ji-Ah: (Clutching her head, breathing heavily) No, no, no! This can't be happening! If I have his tablet... that means he has mine! My secret novel... my romantic drafts... he has everything!
