ONE

The year 2002.

In a Park, two children aged eight-play and have fun together.

- What do you want to do when you grow up? - (Jay)

-I want to be an idol- (?) * In a happy voice *

-an idol ah… -

- What about you? What do you want to do? - (?)

- I don't know ... why not an idol too- (Jay)

"This system leaves me no choice"(Jay)

-Awesome! We will be together when we grow up! - (?)

A little while before she knew what she said, her face turned red like a tomato.

Jay didn't take notice of the little girl's words at all; he was focused on the window in front of his eyes that only he could see.

"It's been eight years since I came to this world, but it is different from my old one… some songs by some artists doesn't exist? Maybe in the future, some songs won't exist either? ... I have to wait and see if my theory is correct ..."

-Jay! Jay! - (?)

Jay turned to the little girl, focused on the system window; he didn't hear her.

-Sorry, it's getting late, we will have to go home- (Jay)

-Wait ... I have something to give you - (?) * hesitates *

She pulls out a small panda pendant and gives it to Jay, who grabs it in confusion.

-Happy Birthday, Jay! –

"Ah yes, it's my birthday."

-Thank you… - (Jay) * embarrass *

Jay was embarrassed because he didn't give her anything in return; he's not the kind of person who receives without giving. So he digs into his pocket and pulls out a 100 won coin.

-That's all I got- (Jay)

She hesitates but grabs the coin.

- Thank you! - (?) * Happy *

Korea, 2012, Seoul

[2:00 am]

It was still dark and cold.

In front of an abandoned building, an 18-year-old waited there, with a cap that practically hid his face. Another person, a young woman 20 years old, was also approaching the building, wearing a black hood that concealed part of her face; she walked towards the young man, on her back a black backpack.

The young man is Jay; he notices her as soon as she walks in front of him and kisses her red lips.

-Do you have it? - (Jay)

- Yes, everything is in there- (Seyoun)

She hands him the backpack, and Jay checks that everything is fine, 2 kg of cocaine.

-This is my last delivery, after that, we stop- (Jay)

-Do you remember the place of delivery? - (Seyoun)

- Yeah, don't worry, I got this- (Jay)

He was saying as if it wasn't his first time doing this; he puts the backpack on his back and gives another kiss on Seyoun's lips; this one lasts a little longer, which attracts the attention of Jay.

-Don't worry, after this we will start our project we will have a better future- (Jay) * he reassures Seyoun *

-I know… - (Seyoun)

Jay leaves to deliver the 'goods' to the scheduled location, Seyoun watches his back.

-I'm sorry… - (Seyoun) * she mumbles with teary eyes *

She quickly leaves the place too.

Jay's life has changed entirely from the day his father was run over by a rich son who drove drunk; his father didn't make it to the hospital; he died in the ambulance. And, of course, the victims of the system are not the rich in general. Since this accident, his family's life has changed completely; his family was originally poor. His father was accumulating three jobs to provide for his family; now that he was gone, it was the mother's turn to raise her child. His mother did the best she could but couldn't meet all of her son's needs, so he had to leave school very early.

At 15, he joined a small gang to deliver 'goods' to earn some money to relieve his mother. Three years in this trade and never touched the shit he delivers.

He met a girl who had the same situation as him; they came closer and supported each other and developed feelings between them.

Jay walked down the streets at 2:00 am to his destination, another building abandoned to deliver the 'goods'.

He entered the building and looked around; everything was dark, then several lights went on simultaneously, and several people in uniform and weapons approached him.

-ON THE GROUND NOW- (Police Officer) * strong tone *

The lights blind Jay's vision, he could just hear what the men in uniform were saying, so he quickly obeyed, on the ground with his hands on his head. Jay was confused and he didn't know what just happened, he got caught.

The police handcuff him and lift him to put him in the police car.

"Sorry, mom… it's my fault" (Jay)

All he could think of in the car was his mom; he didn't know he would get caught; it was his last shot; he had raised enough money to buy a studio and start his career in music.

Two years later/ January 1, 2014

///

While in prison, his mother's visits suddenly stoped, Seyoun never visited him ;Jay begins to have suspicions that he quickly rejects…The only person he could trust besides his mother was Seyoun.

For good behavior, he left after two years. He vowed not to go back to illegal business again; he would get the money he earned and buy a studio and get into music ... that's what he wanted, and that's what his father wanted too.

He knew it would be difficult, almost impossible for someone who made prison to be an artist, but he wasn't going to give up.
