INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - REDEYE TECH BUILDING – DAY

The door clicks open, and Tae Hyung enters, reading the sheet of paper in his hand.

TAE HYUNG: I got the-

Y/N: I'm awake!

Tae Hyung pauses. Y/n looks extremely drowsy and disheveled.

TAE HYUNG: Are you okay?

Y/n nods, hastily, noticing the paper in his hand. She reaches for the sheet.

Y/N: Is it?

TAE HYUNG: Yeah.

He hands her the sheet, settling on the chair beside hers. Y/n reads the list of the locations from where Mr. Ahn's email was accessed.

Y/N: Did the cctv confirm.

Tae Hyung nods.

TAE HYUNG: It was Ahn Sonbae.

Y/n exhales deeply.

Y/N: I wasn't expecting something like this at all.

Tae Hyung stares at the sheet, his forehead slightly wrinkling.

TAE HYUNG: I've been thinking.

He looks at Y/n.

TAE HYUNG: Mr. Ahn made contact, he who was being hunted by the police went out of his way to be found by you.

Y/n nods, rubbing her sleepy eyes, forcing it to stay open.

TAE HYUNG: And I can think of only one reason.

Y/N AND TAE HYUNG: Mr. Ahn's innocent.

Tae Hyung drops his head to his palms, annoyed and sad at the same time. He freezes feeling something heavy drop onto his shoulder.

TAE HYUNG: Y/n?

Y/n's asleep on his shoulder. Slowly he leans back in his chair, supporting her head. He straightens her hair and sighs - I keep forgetting you're injured.

MEANWHILE:

INT. REDEYE TECH BUILDING – DAY

Ho Seok, who's gaze has been on the conference room the whole-time, gasps seeing Y/n lean on Tae Hyung's shoulder.

HO SEOK: Ya!

He pulls Nam Joon who's bending down to read the monitors, and forcefully makes him look at the conference room.

NAM JOON: Can't you see she's asleep?

HO SEOK: I thought my grandchildren would be dead by the time either of them made a move.

Nam Joon glares at him and then glances at Ho Seok's arm gripping his.

NAM JOON: You're touching me, does that mean something too?

HO SEOK: No. Because you're not my type.

CUT TO:

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM – REDEYE TECH BUILDING – DAY

Y/n springs awake. Tae Hyung, who himself had dozed off, flinches awake.

Y/N: You were saying...

Tae Hyung looks at her.

Y/N: What?

TAE HYUNG: Nothing...

Y/n still looks drowsy and now even a little disoriented.

TAE HYUNG: Want some tea?

Y/N: Tea?

Her head begins to drop, her eyes shut, unable to keep themselves open. Tae Hyung pulls her chair closer and lets her head drop on his shoulder again.

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING ROOM - SEO RESIDENCE - AFTERNOON

Ahn Hyeop looks down at his watch. His gaze flicks to Hyun Joon.

AHN HYEOP: Did Y/n call back.

Hyun Joon shakes his head.

AHN HYEOP: Call her again.

Hyun Joon retrieves his phone, and dials Y/n's number.

HYUN JOON [INTO PHONE]: Hey Y/n. Appa-

Hyun Joon's forehead wrinkles.

HYUN JOON [INTO PHONE]: Tae Hyung?

AHN HYEOP: Tae Hyung?

Hyun Joon's as confused as his father.

HYUN JOON [INTO PHONE]: One sec.

He looks at his father, who's impatient for answers.

HYUN JOON: He's Y/n's friend, maybe more than a friend.

Ahn Hyeop extends his arm gesturing him to hand over the phone.

AHN HYEOP [INTO PHONE]: Hello. This is Ahn Hyeop.

TAE HYUNG [OVER PHONE]: Hello, Mr. Seo. I'm sorry. Y/n's asleep, so I-

AHN HYEOP [INTO PHONE]: Where is she?

TAE HYUNG [OVER PHONE]: In my office. We're working on a case- I'll wake her up.

AHN HYEOP [INTO PHONE]: Don't. Let her rest.

Ahn Hyeop stays quiet, for a beat – This is unlike Y/n.

AHN HYEOP [INTO PHONE]: Tae Hyung, is Y/n alright?

TAE HYUNG [OVER PHONE]: Yes Mr. Seo, Y/n's just tiered. We've been in the field from very early in the morning. Nothing to worry.

He lies, knowing that Y/n wouldn't want her father to know of her state.

AHN HYEOP [INTO PHONE]: Okay then. I'll be waiting for her call. Good Bye.

CUT TO:

INT. TAE HYUNG'S CAR – NIGHT

Y/n's seated in the passenger seat, scrolling through her inbox. Tae Hyung frowns as he pulls the car over to the curb.

TAE HYUNG: We're here.

Y/n looks up. She shoves her phone in to her pocket and turns to Tae Hyung.

Y/N: So...

TAE HYUNG: Yeah.

Y/N: I'll be back in 2 days.

TAE HYUNG: Right.

He retrieves her backpack from the back seat.

TAE HYUNG: I would feel better if I dropped you at the airport.

Y/N: I don't want to take any chances. That psychopath might still be looking for me, tracing me.

She looks at Tae Hyung, silently for a long time, her body refusing to get out of the car.

Y/N: 2 days.

TAE HYUNG: Just 2 days.

She grabs her bag and steps out of the car.

CUT TO:

INT. PRIVATE JET – AFTERNOON

The Seo family is en route to Paris, for their family holiday. Ahn Hyeop and his son are in middle of a chess game. Hyun Joon taps his heels, nervous, as an impatient Y/n looks on.

Y/N: Come on! Ugh...

She pushes Hyun Joon's hand away and moves the pawns for him.

Y/N: Checkmate.

Hyun Joon claps, shocked.

AHN HYEOP: That's cheating.

HYUN JOON: Daebak!

Y/n smiles at Ahn Hyeop.

HYUN JOON: I knew I was going to win.

Y/N: Yeah, right. Move, it's my turn.

She pulls him up from his seat and plops down. She resets the chess board for a new game. Hyun Joon, joins the rest of the family at the back of the jet.

AHN HYEOP: I don't like Min Won.

Y/n continues to set the board.

Y/N: Me neither.

AHN HYEOP: I think you should stop working with him.

Y/n places the last pawn in its place.

AHN HYEOP: Y/n.

Y/n leans back in her seat.

Y/N: I'm working with his son, not him.

AHN HYEOP: Are you guys in a relationship?

Y/n shrugs her shoulders.

Y/N: I don't know.

AHN HYEOP: Look Y/n, I know you're a very smart person, you know your opponent better than they know themselves.

Y/n smiles – That's true.

AHN HYEOP: But... be careful Y/n. Sometimes people have different intentions under their masks and invisible strings pulling on them. But you can't see it if you get too close.

Y/N: I'll keep that in mind. You don't have to worry.

Ahn Hyeop takes her hands in his.

AHN HYEOP: Just because you're strong and smart doesn't mean I can be at ease when you go face the world on your own.

Y/n smiles at her father. Ahn Hyeop smiles and pats her hand.

Y/n thinks to herself - Tae Hyung will never-

Her smile falls realizing way before her brain does – The pen drive...Unnie...

AHN HYEOP: Y/n... Y/n?

Y/N [MUTTERS]: How did I forget?

CUT TO:

INT. KIM TAE HYUNG'S ROOM – KIM RESCIDENCE – NIGHT

Tae Hyung wakes up to the sound of his ringing phone. He turns to his side and grabs it.

He sits up, checking the caller Id – A restricted number.

He answers the call.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: Y/n-

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: Be honest with me... Please.

Tae Hyung instantly knows this is serious, he wakes himself up.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: About what?

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: The pen drive...

Tae Hyung's face falls at the mention.

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: Why did you do it?

He rubs his face.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: I can explain...

He stops himself, guilt taking over.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: Actually, I can't.

He hears Y/n sigh, making his heart drop to his gut.

TAE HYUNG [INTO PHONE]: I have my reasons. Is that a...um... a good enough answer?

He waits, nervously, Y/n doesn't respond. The seconds tick by, like hours.

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: Well...

Tae Hyung's eyes flick wider.

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: ... it's good enough for me.

Tae Hyung smiles.

Y/N [OVER PHONE]: Bye.

She hangs up, Tae Hyung's shoulders drop, relieved.

CUT TO:

EXT. PARIS – NIGHT

Y/n pulls her jacket closer smiling down at her phone.

Y/N: That's cleared.

She clicks on the image Jungkook had sent her. It's of an arrest warrant issued by the Seoul Metropolitan Police.

Y/N [READS]: Arrest Warrant for Seo Y/n, CEO of Labyrinth.

She exhales through her mouth – So, it begins.

CUT TO:

INT. ROOM – NIGHT

Tae Hyung stands, uncertainly, in the dark room.

TAE HYUNG: What is this place?

He tries moving ahead but his foot is glued to the floor. The room keeps spinning around making him dizzy.

TAE HYUNG: God...

He touches his throbbing forehead. Finally, the room stops spinning. He makes out a silhouette of a bed in front of him. His eyes widen seeing a man strangling a woman.

He stares in shock as the hooded man wrings the woman's throat.

TAE HYUNG: STOP!!! NO!

His heart stops recognizing the limp body, it's Y/n.

TAE HYUNG: Y/N, NO!

He tries to reach the bed, but he can't move. He's stuck.

TAE HYUNG: Y/N!

He desperately pulls at his legs to get them unstuck.

HOODED MAN: Don't bother, its done.

Tae Hyung freezes with dread. He knows that voice. He looks up and the man drops his hood. Tae Hyung falls back, petrified seeing the familiar face – His Own.

FADE OUT.
