(Morning. Kim Juwon dresses up in his school uniform.)
JUWON
Okay. Time to head to school.
(He heads downstairs. His butler Walter greets him.)
WALTER
Good morning, young master.
JUWON
Morning Walter.
WALTER
Do you want me to give you a ride to school?
JUWON
Ah… no. I don't want people know who my family is.
WALTER
If you say so Young Master. I hope you have a wonderful day at school.
JUWON
Thanks Walter.
(Juwon heads out to the bus stop. A bus with the sign on top written to Supreme high school stops.)
JUWON
There's the bus to Supreme High. The elite of the elite high school in the whole of Korea. A school that makes students to be useful members to society. And there's a higher chance that you might get into an elite university in Korea or abroad once you've enrolled in this school. That's sweet.
DRIVER
Are you going to get in or talking to the air?
JUWON
Ah, I'll get in.
(He gets in the bus. He notices the students are also wearing the same uniform as him.)
JUWON
[Looks like I'm going to be classmates with them. Where should I sit?]
(He notices a seat that's next to a girl with long dark hair. She's reading a book.)
JUWON
Oh, there's an empty seat. And it's next to a girl. Lucky me.
(He sits next to her.)
JUWON
Hello. I'm Kim Juwon. What's your name?
GIRL WITH LONG DARK HAIR
…
(She ignores him and reads her book.)
JUWON
I see. She's ignoring me. That's cool.
(He takes out his ear buds and listens to music.)
EAR BUDS
네 손님"
어서 오십시오
이 가게는 참 메뉴가 고르기도 쉽죠
뭘 시켜도 오감을 만족하지 하지
지나가던 나그네, 비둘기까지
까치까지 까마귀들까지
Cooking a sauce 입맛대로 털어
음미하고 lick it 말해 bon
Taste so good 반응은 모두 쩔어
But 모두 자극적인 거
I want it till 다 먹일 때까지
연구하지 cross boundaries
경계 따위 없어 마치 창조하듯 소리를 만들지
(The bus makes a stop as an elderly woman enters inside the bus. Since there are no empty seats. She stands. The bus starts to move. However, one girl with blonde hair wearing glasses stands up and talks to one guy.)
GIRL WITH GLASSES
Should you stand up and let this elderly woman sit.
GUY
Why should I? I paid for this seat.
GIRL WITH GLASSES
But you're young and she's old. Should you show some respect to the elderly?
GUY
Why don't you give up your seat?
GIRL WITH GLASSES
I'm already standing.
GUY
Not my problem for the old hag to enter a bus that's already full. She should've thought twice.
GIRL WITH GLASSES
This…
(She turns to the rest of the students.)
GIRL WITH GLASSES
Excuse me! Can I have your attention? Is there anyone who wants to give up his/her seat for this poor grandma?
(No one listens to her. Juwon looks up.)
JUWON
[No one is giving up their seat.]
GIRL WITH GLASSES
Please. Anyone?
JUWON
Why don't you give up you seat?
(he turns to the dark haired girl.)
DARK HAIRED GIRL
Why should I?
JUWON
It's respect for the elderly.
DARK HAIRED GIRL
Hey, use your common sense for a bit.
JUWON
Why?
DARK HAIRED GIRL
The old woman is far from my seat. And the way the bus driver is driving she might trip and fall. And also she has to push past those students who look like they might not give her way. The ones close to her should give up their seats. But I guess no one is willing to do that in today's society.
JUWON
Oh I see…
(He reads her name which is on the book.)
JUWON
Lisa Hong.
LISA
Ya! I never gave your permission to read my name aloud.
JUWON
Sorry, I can't help it. I just saw it on your book. What book are you reading?
LISA
None of your business. And mind your business. Stop looking at me.
JUWON
I'm just looking at the window. [I never thought that she would be from a chaebol, family. The Hong Family.]
GIRL WITH GLASSES
Anyone who's willing to give up their seat.
OLD WOMAN
It's okay. I really appreciate your help, young girl.
GIRL WITH GLASSES
But…
(Suddenly a woman stands up.)
WOMAN
She can have my seat. I'm dropping off from here.
GIRL WITH GLASSES
Oh, thank you so much. You can sit over there.
OLD WOMAN
Oh, thanks.
(The girl with glasses gives the male student who refused to give up his seat to the old woman a bombastic side eye.)
GUY
[What's her problem?]
(The bus finally arrives at the elite of the elite high school. One of the top 10 elite's schools in Korea. Ranked as No.1 Supreme High.)
