triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Guion


Rumi: What?

Jinu: Wow. I wasn't expecting a hug, but... Jeez, okay, okay. Calm down. I thought the mannequin was going to be a fun icebreaker. But I see I was wrong. Whoa! Whoa! Hey! Hey! I just want to talk.

Rumi: Talk?

Jinu: About your patterns? But first, I want to talk about those pants.

Rumi: Hm?

Jinu: Teddy bears and choo-choo trains? Really? Choo-choo.

Rumi: You were supposed to be dead by now!

Jinu: I could've told your friends what you are. But I didn't, did I? Because they don't know.

Jinu: Ah, I did guess right. A demon girl. Also Hunter. Hiding, walking around free in the human world.

Rumi: Just Hunter, not demon.

Jinu: Then how'd you get the patterns?

Rumi: That's none of your business.

Jinu: Huh. I know what it feels like to have them.

Rumi: Feel? You're a demon. Demons don't feel anything.

Jinu: Is that what you think? That's all demons do. Feel. Feel our shame, our misery. It's how Gwi-Ma controls us. Do you not hear him in your ear?

Rumi: What are you talking about?

Jinu: Huh. You're lucky. I'll never forget the first time I heard him. That was 400 years ago. My family was extremely poor and miserable. I had a single possession to my name. An old bipa. So I busked the streets, but it didn't get me anywhere. I was desperate. We were starving. Then, I heard him.

Gwi-Ma: You can't do anything for your family. You're not good enough for them. But I can help you be good enough.

Jinu: Overnight, my fate was changed. I was praised for my voice, even by the king himself. My family and I lived on the palace grounds. Our bellies were finally full, our clothes clean. We were happy. But the patterns, they kept spreading until they consumed me. And I was condemned to the demon world, prisoner of Gwi-Ma for all eternity. My family lost everything. And without me, they were even worse off than before. These are a constant reminder of my shame, a shame I can never escape.

Jinu: Yours are a reminder, too. Of a shame of your own.

Rumi: You don't know me.

Jinu: You know, you can tell me. I'll understand. I'm the only one who can.

Rumi: I'm nothing like you.

Jinu: Denial. I get it. I was once there too. I'll be here when you're done pretending. Until next time.

Rumi: There won't be a next time!
