Jiyeon - Jihoon, what happened to you? Please, someone call an ambulance. Jihoon, get up, please get up, open your eyes" (screaming loudly)

                                                         " After few minutes"

Jihoon - (Opened his eyes and stared at Jiyeon) WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ME AND WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING JIHOON? WHERE ON THE EARTH I AM..........

Jiyeon - Jihoon it's me Jiyeon your childhood friend.

                                                               " Suddenly Jihoon pushed her hardly on road"

Jiyeon - aahhh!!!Jihoon what are you doing.

Jihoon - Heyy girl!! I'm Theodore Nightshade lord of Valoria how dare you to touch me, kneel before me. Hey you tell me, where I am and what this land called.

Jiyeon -(confused)(traumatized) what are you talking about? (did he hit his head?)

"Suddenly he (JIHOON) stands up and ran away very fast, Jiyeon paralyzed by fear and trauma, couldn't bring herself to move. She stood frozen in place, sitting on the road, her eyes wide with terror."

SCENE2 (Jihoon)

Huffing, Jihoon stood against the wall, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. His mind raced, overwhelmed by the chaos unfolding before him. What in the world is going on here? he thought, his eyes darting around to take in the scene. Police officers were swarming the area, their uniforms a sea of blue amidst the flashing lights and blaring sirens.

"Why is this happening to me?" Jihoon muttered under his breath. "Nothing has been normal ever since I ran into that woman. Just look at the hideous way these people dress and the bizarre terminology they use..."

The police officers exchanged hurried words. "Did you find him?" one asked. "Not yet, sir," came the reply.

Jihoon, hidden in the shadows, seethed with anger. How dare they disrespect the Nightshades... Have they left? He needed to be more careful from now on. For that, I need a weapon first...

He glanced to the other side of the street, where cars zoomed by. These are the monsters I saw before he thought. Without hesitation, Jihoon grabbed a rod from the roadside and struck a moving car. The driver yelled and called the police. "There's a boy damaging my car!"

Suddenly, the police were after him. Jihoon bolted, weaving through the crowd, and ducked into a fashion boutique. He dashed into a changing room, panting. As he caught his breath, he glanced in the mirror.

What the... he whispered, stunned by his own reflection. This is not my body. He stared at the unfamiliar face, realizing it wasn't his own. I was a king, tall and much more handsome. What happened to my body? Where am I? His mind flashed back to his last memory: taking a bath and noticing an uneasy smell in the tub water.

The scene outside grew louder. Police officers stormed into the boutique. They found Jihoon, handcuffed him, and led him away.

SCENE3 (Jiyeon) 

Jiyeon entered her home, still shaken from the events of the day. As she dressed herself, her eyes fell on a book lying on her bed titled "Nightshades." Memories of her last conversation with Jihoon flooded back—his strange proclamation, "I'm Theodore Nightshade."

Confused and determined to get answers, she stepped out of her apartment and knocked on the door directly opposite hers. "Jihoon, are you home?" she called. There was no response. Maybe he never came back home... she thought, fear creeping in.

The whole situation felt off. Jihoon had been hit by a huge truck, yet he was completely fine. And the things he said—so bizarre and otherworldly. Her thoughts kept returning to the book on her bed.

No, it's not just that... There's something about the whole situation that seems off. This book, the accident, and Jihoon's strange behavior—it's all connected. It's totally ridiculous, but what I'm thinking might be true. All of these make complete sense...

Jiyeon's mind raced as she pieced together the puzzle, determined to uncover the truth.

Jihoon sat in the police station, confined in a small cell, his mind racing. That face in the mirror... It wasn't mine. I'm completely in a stranger's body. But where is my own body? And where am I? Who am I?

The police officers outside his cell exchanged words. "Did his guardian come?" one asked.

Suddenly, a beautiful lady appeared. "Are you Jihoon's real guardian?" the officer inquired.

"Yes, I am," she replied.

After being released from the cell, Jihoon—now Theodore in Jihoon's body—followed the woman out, his thoughts swirling. Is this woman familiar with the owner of this body? he wondered.

As they walked, the lady spoke sternly. "You have no shame, Jihoon," she said, startling him. "You're the one who promised I wouldn't have to deal with these things. Is school so boring to you that you made this mess?"

Jihoon, confused and taken aback, tried to process her words. "I wish I never took you in. You better not try something like this again. If I get another call like this, it's all over. Do you understand?" she continued, her voice firm.

The lady walked ahead, and Theodore, trapped in Jihoon's body, stopped and stood there, utterly bewildered.

Jiyeon sat near the door of Jihoon's apartment, anxiously whispering to herself, "I've looked everywhere... where could he be?" Her phone rang, breaking the silence.

"Oh, they found him," she answered quickly, relief flooding her voice. "He was at the police station."

The voice on the other end said, "But his aunt came, and I think everything should be fine. You don't need to worry."

"Oh, his aunt..." Jiyeon repeated, her face paling. No, he doesn't have a good relationship with his aunt. She was terrified and worried about what might happen next.

She waited for four hours, but Jihoon never came home. Outside, the rain poured down heavily.

I can't wait here any longer. I need to find him, she resolved. Grabbing her umbrella, she ventured out into the storm, searching everywhere, but Jihoon was nowhere to be found.

Maybe he's with his aunt... she thought, but as she turned to head back home, something caught her eye.

What was that? Wait... it's Jihoon! Jiyeon exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" She spotted him sitting on the street, drenched and near the garbage area, looking lost and defeated.

The beep of the door lock opening broke the silence. Jiyeon stepped inside and called out, "Jihoon, come inside."

Jihoon—now Theodore in Jihoon's body—looked around, unimpressed. "Do not tell me that the owner of this body lives in this tiny foxhole," he said, clearly unhappy.

"Are you asking to be kicked out?" Jiyeon retorted.

"No..." Jihoon replied, dejectedly. How did I get myself into this situation? he wondered.

A few minutes earlier, when Jiyeon had found him near the garbage, she had asked, "What are you doing here?"

"You're the woman from before!" Jihoon shouted, recognizing her.

"Jihoon!!" she exclaimed. Wait... thinking about the book... no, maybe he's... "Are you Lord Theodore Nightshade?" Jiyeon asked cautiously.

"You know me?" Jihoon responded, surprised.

Jiyeon offered her hand to help him up. "What are you doing at the dumpster?" she asked, still confused. Is this an act, or is he telling the truth? she thought.

"You know what, we can talk about this at your place," she suggested.

Jihoon looked perplexed. "Why do I need to follow you? Why would I trust you?" he said, snatching his hand from hers.

"Are you planning on staying here then?" Jiyeon asked, exasperated. After a moment of silence, she somehow managed to convince him to come inside.

Opening the bathroom door, she told him, "You're totally drenched. Why don't you take a shower, then we can talk. I'll put some clothes outside. Come quickly."

Theodore (Jihoon) looked around, confused. "But where is the bath? What, don't joke with me."

"I'm not joking. How am I supposed to wash myself when there is no bath?" he grumbled. Then he spotted the toilet and, thinking it was the bath, said, "Oh, it's too small," and started to dunk his face into the toilet.

"Wait!!!" Jiyeon shouted. "That's a toilet. Use the showerhead."

"The showerhead? What is this?" Jihoon asked, perplexed.

She explained how the shower and taps worked. As he processed her words, his face grew pale.

"Jiyeon, what happened?" she asked, concerned. Suddenly, Jihoon collapsed.
