Always You - 10-Year High School Reunion - Evening

Soft lighting, light music playing. Guests mingle and laugh. The doors open

Ha Rin enters with 🧍‍♂️ Han (her calm, kind college friend in a white shirt and dark jeans

👀 People glance over as they walk in.

Ji Soo "rushing over, Han, whispering teasingly"

Ji Soo

Ooooh~ you really showed up with Han? What's going on here, huh?

Ha Rin

(awkward chuckle) Don't even start. We just came together, that's it

Han

(smiling politely) Nice to meet you too.

Min Jae grinning as he joins

Min Jae

Han, right? You must be some kind of saint to tolerate Ha Rin this long.

Han

(laughing softly): "She's really not that bad.

Min Jae

(teasing): "Not that bad? Man, you've got patience."

Ji Soo

(dramatic gasp): "Right?! Imagine putting up with her 24/7!"

Ha Rin

(rolling her eyes): "You guys are literally the worst."

Han

(blushing, scratching his neck): "She's just... someone important to me, that's all."

Ha Rin

(laughing, nudging him): "Don't make it weird!"

📍 Scene 2: [A moment later - The auditorium door creaks open]

🚪 All heads turn as someone walks in.

"Seo Joon enters - tall, sharp, composed, dressed in black. His gaze sweeps the room."

Ha Rin

(under her breath): "Hmph. Look who finally showed up.

Min Jae

(low tone): "Took him long enough."

Several classmates rush to greet Seo Joon with casual talk and handshakes, but Ji Soo and Min Jae stay put.

Seo Joon

(noticing Min Jae head toward drinks): "...Min Jae."

Min Jae

(pauses, glances over coolly): "Oh? You still remember me?

He walks away before Seo Joon can respond.

👀 Seo Joon's eyes shift. Across the room-" 👧 Ha Rin, laughing at something Han says. Her smile wide. She touches Han's arm playfully.

Seo Joon

(expression darkens, thinking) "...Who is he?"

Ha Rin

(feeling his gaze, turns slowly - their eyes meet )

⌛ The air tightens. Her smile falters. She looks away quickly.

Ha Rin

(thinking): "That face... after all this time..."

💭 [Flashback - A rainy night, 7 years ago]

📱 A phone buzzes. A message reads: "I'm sorry. Let's end it here." 💧 She stands in the rain. Tears fall silently. Calls and texts unanswered

Ha Rin

(present, heart clenching): "I hated that day more than anything..."

Seo Joon: (eyes still on her, another memory flashing)

💭 [Flashback - Their first meeting] A younger Ha Rin stands in a convenience store, pointing at a crouched Seo Joon. Ha Rin: "Thief!" A huge misunderstanding. No names exchanged. No apologies given. Just a moment that stuck.

Seo Joon

(thinking): "That girl... You're still the same. But you're laughing with someone else now."
