Chapter 11 - Shadows of Love
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Scene 1 - Su jin's Growing Darkness
Su jin wakes to find her wrist completely engulfed in dark veins. Her power flares uncontrollably, making candles flicke and furniture rattle.
Su jin (horrified) :
"Its spreading faster...I can't stop it."
Mia holds her tightly.
Mia (softly) :
"Don't fight it alone, we are still here."
Scene 2 - Suho's Confession :
Later that night, Suho pulls Su jin aside. His usual sharpness is gone; instead he looks vulnerable.
Suho (nervously) :
"I know Eunwoo's always by your side...but Su jin, I –"
He clenches his fists.
Suho (Whispering) :
"I had burn in this curse a hundred times if it meant you lived. Don't choose him because you think you are meant to. Choose the one who chooses you everytime."
Su jin freezes, heart racing.
Scene 3 - Eunwoo Overhears
Unbeknownst to them, Eunwoo stands in the shadow, watching. His expression is unreadable, but when Su jin leaves, he mutter to himself.
Eunwoo (pain) :
"If it keeps her safe...I'll let her go."
Scene 4 - Lisa and Minho's Worry :
Lisa notices the tension between Su jin, Eunwoo and Suho.
Lisa (to Minho) :
"If her heart breaks now, the curse will it her alive."
Minho (serious) :
"Then may be...one of them has to step away. Even if it hurts."
Scene 5 - The Witch's Manipulation:
Su jin dreams again. This time, the witch appears more human than ever – her hair long, her voice soft.
The Witch :
"Why fight love? He betrayed me, just as he will betray you. Do you think your heart can survive that pain?"
Su jin trembles, seeing flashes of Eunwoo turning away from her in visions.
Su jin (screaming) :
"Stop...Showing me lies!"
The Witch's cruel smile.
The Witch :
"Child...they are not lies..they are futures."
Scene 6 - Eunwoo's Silent Vow :
Eunwoo finds Su jin restless outside under the moonlight.
Su jin (Painfully) :
"Every vision shows me losing you. Tell me it's not true...Tell me you won't betray me."
Eunwoo takes her hands, his voice trembling but firm.
Eunwoo :
"Even, if my bloodline is cursed...even if fates says I am your doom....I'll crave a new fate. With you."
Su jin eyes glisten with tears as Eunwoo hugged her.
Scene 7 - The curse strikes
Suddenly, A sharp pain wracks Su jin's body. Her veins glow crimson as the blood pact sigils on everyone's hands burn.
Lisa screams, collapsing. Minho holding his chest in agony. Suho clutches his hand, teeth gritted.
Su jin cries out, realizing the Witch is attacking through their bond.
The Witch's Voice (echoing) :
"Your Love - Eunwoo, Your friendship - Mia, Lisa, Minho, Suho, Your bond...are mine to break."
Su jin's scream shatters the night as she collapses unconscious in Eunwoo's arms.
Ending Scene - Suho's Resolve:
As Su jin lies unconscious, Suho looks at Eunwoo with burning eyes.
Suho :
"If she dies because of you, I'll destroy you myself – curse or not."
The Camera closes in on Eunwoo's Face and arm holding Su jin, torn between guilt and determination.
