THIRTY YEARS LATER
EXT: TRAINING YARD – MORNING
Sunggyu grumbles under his breath as the men behind him continue counting out as they run through defensive moves. Woohyun is sitting on a tree stump right in front of Sunggyu with a bowl of water in front of him and a pinching gram. He presses it into the water and it sucks water in. Sunggyu looks at it apprehensively.
SUNGGYU
I’m tired of being your Guinea pig.
WOOHYUN
(Frowns)
Well, if you’re going to insist being active in your so-called martial arts school, I’m going to keep looking for ways to help your joints. Open up.
Sunggyu opens his mouth as Woohyun puts the tip of the gram into his mouth and presses, emptying it into Sunggyu’s mouth.
WOOHYUN
Does that taste better?
SUNGGYU
It always tastes like ass.
Woohyun inhales, insulted.
WOOHYUN
It does not.
SUNGGYU
If it wasn’t, you’d be able to find someone willing to go through this torture.
WOOHYUN
I’m doing this for you, you big baby.
The men behind him snigger as Woohyun puts the gram back into the bowl and Sunggyu turns back to them and scowls. They all straighten, going back to their training as if nothing had been happening. When he looks back, Woohyun has another mouthful for him.
SUNGGYU
Should I get paid for all of this? I could die, you know?
Woohyun pinches his cheek with one hand while holding the gram up for Sunggyu to open his mouth.
WOOHYUN
Don’t even joke about that.
SUNGGYU
We’re going to die eventually.
WOOHYUN
From old age not because my soulmate wants to wrestle himself into the grave.
SUNGGYU
I’m a young man. I need to keep in shape.
WOOHYUN
Your mates are retired.
SUNGGYU
(Blushes)
Wha… you… my mates are in their late fifties.
WOOHYUN
You’re sixty one.
SUNGGYU
Sixty.
Woohyun deadpans.
WOOHYUN
I don’t care. As long as we’re alive and you won’t rest, I’m going to keep looking for ways to keep you young.
SUNGGYU
(Pouts)
There’s no reason for you to do so. It’s so much stress for you anyway.
WOOHYUN
(Raises his eyebrows)
You do know I sell drugs for a living, right?
SUNGGYU
But you don’t have to make them.
WOOHYUN
I love what I do.
SUNGGYU
And I love what I do.
WOOHYUN
(Smiles)
I love you.
Sunggyu kisses him, smiling too.
SUNGGYU
I love you too.
