INT. Apartment-Early Morning
White curtains in the window sway softly from
the breeze circulating from outside.
a monotone alarm clock rings.
Haesol:
[tiredly]
Ahhh mmhm…
Haesol taps the alarm with his hand as
he ruffles his bed head,
Haesol sits up in the covers and stretches
his tired muscles.
Haesol:
[softly]
Ooh ahh aish hheh.
Haesol smacks his lips. His face turns
into a sour expression. Haesol smacks his
lips a second time.
Haesol:
[disgusted]
Ugh.. eh
Haesol removes covers to stand up. He
shivers as his feet hit the cold floor.
He slips on white slippers.
Haesol shuffles slowly to bathroom on
left side of room still while fluffing
his bed head.
Haesol stops just before the bathroom
door. He turns to the record player to
his right and squats near the stack of
records on the floor and begins to
hunt through them.
Haesol stands up with a record in hand. He
removes the record from the slip and places
it on the record player. A soft jazzy piano
tune starts to play.
Haesol:
[happily]
Du du mhmm dumm, uh huh.
Haesol snaps his fingers
as he proceeds to the bathroom.
Bathroom door closes.
[End Scene.]
[Start Scene.]
INT. Apartment-Mid Morning
The mix sound of jazz piano from the
record player is heard. The sounds
of streets cars from the street below
enters through the open window.
Haesol enters in just boxers. He walks
from the bathroom door to his closet
Straight ahead.
Haesol opens the closet doors and searches
for clothes. He pulls out a knitted brown
sweater and black pants.
Haesol:
[questioning]
Hmm? mmm mhm.
Haesol walks left to the bed and sits
the pants down on the messy covers. He
puts the sweater on and grabs his pants
to put them on.
Haesol:
[frustrated]
Ehh. uuggh. Ahh!
Haesol falls backwards. He begins
to untangle his foot from his pant leg.
Haesol finishes dressing on the floor.
A low growl is heard. Haesol’s eyes
widen in concern as he look to his
stomach that growls. He pats his
stomach as he stands up.
Haesol:
[whimpers]
Nnnngh.
Haesol slips on socks and pads towards
the bedroom door to the far right. He
exits the room and towards the stairs.
[End Scene.]
[Start Scene.]
INT. Apartment - Late Morning
Water sloshes softly in a sink
full of dishes. Eggshells
are scattered along a granite
Countertop.
Haesol is sitting on the counter
with a plate of eggs and toast on
his lap. He hums as to the music
coming from his phone while eating.
Haesol:
[happily]
Mhmm. hmm. Yeh uhmhm oh.
Haesol continues to hum as he
picks up a glass of water next
to him. He sips softly until
his phone dings, signalling
an incoming message.
Haesol gulps the water before putting
down the glass of water to read the
message on his phone.
Haesol:
[flustered]
Aish.. m’late.
Haesol quickly chucks his plate into
the sink and chugs down the rest of his
Water.
Haesol jumps down from the counter
quickly cleaning the counter. Eggshells
still scattered slightly.
Haesol runs straight out of the kitchen
to the left and to the front door. He
grabs a pleather jacket and keys in the
bowl near the door.
Haesol exits the apartment.
Haesol:
[in shock]
Ah! Ah!
Haesol enters the apartment. He runs to
the kitchen. Haesol turns the sink on to
to fill a glass half full of water and
grab his phone he forgot.
Haesol walks towards the front door and
stops near the key bowl. He looks to the
small succulent growing in the window just
above it.
Haesol pours the water into soil and sets
the cup down. He smiles and nods.
Haesol grabs the doorknob with one last
look at the plant.
Haesol exits once again.
