[INT. EUNCHAES ROOM – THAT SAME NIGHT]
Kang Jaehyun
📱Are you still awake?
Kang Jaehyun
📱Hey. I missed you today.
Park Eunchae
📱I missed you too.
Kang Jaehyun
📱You okay? You sound… weird.
Park Eunchae
📱I think I’m catching a cold.
Kang Jaehyun
📱Then rest. Drink warm tea, okay? I’ll call you tomorrow.
Love you.
Park Eunchae
📱Love you more.
She ends the call.
And sobs into her pillow.
Kim Minji
You okay? Did you tell him?
Kim Minji
It's okay. Take your time
After two days, late evening
Kim Minji
You don’t have to do it tonight. If you're not ready
Park Eunchae
If I wait any longer… I’ll lose my nerve.
Kang Jaehyun
📱Hey, princess.
Park Eunchae
📱I need to tell you something. And I need you to just listen… okay?
Park Eunchae
📱I’m pregnant.
Park Eunchae
📱It’s yours, Jaehyun. I… I’m sorry.
Kang Jaehyun
📱Eunchae… are you serious?
Park Eunchae
📱I wouldn’t lie about this.
Kang Jaehyun
📱We’re having a baby?
Kang Jaehyun
📱We’re—Eunchae, that’s—
That’s amazing.
Park Eunchae
📱Wait… you’re not mad?
Kang Jaehyun
📱Mad? I’ve been stuck here thinking my life’s on pause—and now you’re telling me I have something to fight for?
I’m gonna be a dad? God, Eunchae...
Eunchae starts sobbing. Her shoulders shake. Minji rushes to her side, holding her tight.
Kang Jaehyun
📱I’m so sorry I’m not there.
I should be. I want to be.
Kang Jaehyun
📱But if my parents find out… they’ll do everything to tear us apart.
Kang Jaehyun
📱Please, Eunchae…
Wait for me.
Park Eunchae
📱I’m scared, Jaehyun.
Kang Jaehyun
📱I know. But I’ll come back. I swear it.
I’ll work harder. Faster.
Just wait for me.
Park Eunchae
📱I will. I promise.
Kang Jaehyun
📱I already love him. Or her.
I love both of you.
Park Eunchae
📱We love you too.
They don’t hang up.
They fall asleep with the line still open.
Their hearts beating in sync, thousands of miles apart.
