Hopeless rookie

"Who is Mr X"

Miss Park: (nervous)Why do you ask?

Hae Won:He was the only contact on your call log besides Dr Wo. So he must be important

Miss Park: (defensive) You shouldn't go through people's phones that's disrespectful

Hae Won: I wouldn't have to if you're honest  with me.

Miss Park: I am honest .

Hae  Won:Telling me the half truth is not being honest

Miss Park: It's not my place to tell you about him.He will disclose his identity to you when the time is right.

Hae Won:(annoyed) Aish everything is so secretive with you.

Miss Park: Just don't think about it okay

Hae Won:(sulking) It's not like I have a choice.

Miss Park :Good girl.

Suddenly the door bell rings but when they open the door there's only a package

Miss Park:(excited)  It's here

Hae Won:(curious)  But where is the person who brought it

Miss Park: That doesn't matter

Hae Won :(annoyed)  Let me guess ,It's Mr .

Miss Park: (clearly ignoring her)Don't you want to know what's in this box.

Hae Won :(fed up) Isn't it another secret you want to keep from me.

Miss Park:Its actually a gift from him to you .Open it.

Hae Won: (meh)Okay okay

She opens the box and there's a new phone ,pepper spray,glasses ,contact lenses and an ID

Hae Won:(chuckles) He thinks pepper spray can protect  me

Miss Park:(teasingly)Did you want a gun instead?

Hae Won:(teasingly) Yes, but we both know that's not happening

Miss Park: I'm glad you're being more realistic

Hae Won:(meh)What's else can I do (curiously grabbing it)A new phone

Miss Park :Do you like it?

HaeWon: It kinda looks like the one I had before.

Flashback

Yuri:(hyper) He got you a new phone!

Hae Won: (meh)Yes but it's not a big deal

Yuri :Aish I should've broke my phone when I bumped into him too.I seriously need an upgrade.

Hae Won: (laughing) Yours is perfectly fine

Yuri: (teasingly) Then let's swap

Yuri grabs the phone but it immediately starts ringing and she answers the call

Yuri:(smiling) Yuri speaking how can I help you?

Unknown: Can I talk to Hae Won

Yuri :Aish ,okay

She hands the phone back to Hae Won and listens in on the call

Hae Won:Hi who is itq

Unknown: (cold) It's me Hyun Bin, remember me?

Hae Won:(nervous) Awe hi  ,if it's about your glasses I'll buy them real soon.

Hyun Bin: I don't want them

Hae Won: (confused) Awe ...do you want your phone back?

Hyun Bin: Relax ,just save my number "friend"

He  ends the call and Yuri starts squealing

Hae Won: (shy)Calm down already

Yuri:(teasingly) Okay "friend"

Hae Won:Aish stop that

Yuri: No I won't stop.He likes you

Hae Won: He didn't say that

Yuri:Aish this rookie.You don't know anything about romance do you.

Hae Won: No and I dont care about it.

Yuri:(ecstatic) Finally I know something you don't.I was starting to think I'd never get to see the day my Hae Won finally got a boyfriend.

Hae Won :You're blowing everything out of proportion

Yuri grabs the phone from Hae Won and save the number as "future boyfriend"

Yuri:(serious) If you change it won't  do you make up anymore okay.

Present time

Miss Park: (waving her hand across Hae Wons face)Are you okay!

Hae Won :Sorry I kinda zoned out

Miss Park:Aish you were starting to scare me,what were you thinking about

Hae Won:Nothing important .Anyway (grabbing the ID) Who's  Park Yeona?

Miss Park: Awe that's you

Hae Won: But that's not my name nor my ID

Miss Park: Well now it is .

Hae Won: I don't understand

Miss Park: Dear the whole of Korea knows you because of the way you were murdered.Now imagine if the person they protested for and mourned for is seen just walking around the city wouldn't it creep people out and worst of all alert Mr Lee.He thinks he murded you and you're history. Let keep things that way so none of us get hurt okay

Hae Won: But still,who's identity  am I taking over

Miss Park: Don't worry It's fake ,created just for you.

Hae Won: It doesn't feel right.

Miss Park: I get what you're saying ,I too had to change my identity. These are the small sacrifices we have to make in order to survive

Hae Won: What's your real name then?

Miss Park:(nervous)  I'll tell you when the time is right

Hae Won: (annoyed) Should've seen that coming

Miss Park: Its not that I don't want to tell you.(sad)Im just really embarrassed of my past. I don't want you to know about that yet ,I want you to get to know the real me before anything else taints my image.

Hae Won:It's okay I'll  respect your decison

Miss Park: Thank you

Hae Won: So how am I supposed to look like her

Miss Park: Well  that's easy we just have to change your hairstyle and the way you dress

Hae Won: But I like my style

Miss Park: You'll have to like the new one too .You will also have to put these contacts on to change your eye colour and glasses too

Hae Won:(sulking)  Makes me look like a nerd

Miss Park: (teasingly) From what I heard you are one

Hae Won:Its hard trying to keep a scholarship. I'm actually not as smart as people think I am.

Miss Park: About that ,since you are in your senior year ,would you like to write your exams.

Hae Won: Yes I would but I can't, I'm dead remember.

Miss Park: Well yes Hae Won is dead not Yeona.You can still register at some other centre far away  from your school and write there.

Hae Won: (excited) Would that mean I finally get to leave this apartment

Miss Park: Yes

Hae Won: Deal

Miss Park: Do you want to go to school for these few months before exams

Hae Won: No I can tutor myself

Miss Park :Okay dear

Miss Park grabs Hae Won's phone then saves her number as "Mom" then returns it to her.Hae Won just looks at it teary eyed.

Miss Park: Omo what's wrong.Im sorry you can change it.

Hae Won: (smiling) No,I like it.

Miss Park:(worried)  But you're about to cry

Hae Won: I always wondered how it felt like to get your mom to do your hair,teach you how to do your make up ,warn you about boys and all that other stuff .Yuri would always fight with hers but I was still jealous.

Miss Park: (sad)Omo

Hae Won: (wiping her tears away)Don't cry .Thanks to you I now  have a mom.

They both just smile at each other.
