LOCATION: Corridor in front of Ana's office, A June's paradise, JCT ROAD, Myit. Time: 1.35 PM

Leo walks out of Ana's office in a huff – You better not be faking it, Hyung.

He turns to the right at the end of the corridor and stops, seeing Ana carrying a tray.

LEO: Ate, what happened?

Ana smiles as Leo looks at her 'A June's Paradise' volunteer hoodie.

ANA: Kitty, *Leo takes the tray off her hands*  She bumped into me with a cup of orange juice.

LEO: Classic.

ANA: How is Ha Joon? Does he look any better?

Leo looks at the tray – Since the car ride or since birth?

LEO: *Looking up at Ana*  No.

He sighs, seeing Ana knot her brows in worry.

LEO: You're not going back to his house to take care of him, right?

Ana's eyes glaze over as she holds her breath, stopping the deep sigh that wants to escape her lungs – I wish.

LEO: *Concerned*  Ate?

ANA: *Snapping out*  I can't. Not even if I want to.

She takes the tray back from Leo, and heads to her office.

Leo squishes his face in frustration – Ugh, love! God, I hope I never ever fall in love. 

Come on Ate, stay strong. I'm sure the jerk is faking it.

He races past Ana and opens the door for her.


LOCATION: Ana's office, A June's paradise, JCT ROAD, Myit. Time: 1.38 PM

The door opens and Ana walks in. She places a tray of hot soup and toast on the coffee table.

ANA: Sorry, it took long.

Not hearing a response, she straightens and looks at Ha Joon. He turns away from the wall of photographs and Ana is taken aback - Why do you look sicker? Are you coming down with a fever?

Her legs gravitate toward him, and her hand raises up to reach for his forehead. A dull pain pulses deep in her chest – Shit. I can't touch him. I don't have the right anymore.

Her hand stops mid-way and tucks an imaginary strand of hair behind her ear, while her legs deviate from their path and walk halfway around the coffee table.

Ha Joon feeling worse, as the guilt drowns every cell in his body, manages a smile. He steps to the couch and plants himself on it – Fuck, what have I done? What the hell have I done? And in my selfishness, I even got you to sign the papers, what the hell do I do now?

ANA: Do you have a fever?

Heavy with guilt, his eyes refuse to lift up to look at her.

HA JOON: *Shakes his head*  No. Just tired, I guess.

She sighs, curling her fingers into an anxious fist.

ANA: Would you like to have some soup and toast?

She uses all her might to hold back the chokes bobbing up, ready to turn into a cascade of tears – Please don't be too sick.

HA JOON: *Trying to calm his nerves before Ana can see right through him*  Yes. Thanks. It looks delicious.

He picks up the bowl of soup and blows on a spoon full of steaming hot, chicken soup.

Leo slams the door shut and heads to Ana's desk. – Damn, either Hyung is a very good actor, or he really is sick.

His worried gaze falls on Ana – Please Ate, don't volunteer to take care of him. He doesn't deserve it.

Ha Joon, unable to continue to sit with the overwhelming guilt, looks around to find a distraction. His eyes naturally find their way back to Ana - Fuck.

Trying to look away from Ana, he notices her hoodie and on it: The giant circular logo.

Overcome with worry, Ana walks to the couch.

ANA: *Sitting next to Ha Joon*  Have some bread too. *Holds up the plate.*

HA JOON: *Picks up a slice*  It's an interesting name *Ana looks confused*  A June's paradise... How did you come up with it?

ANA: *Consumed by his ill health*  I didn't, you did.

Leo leans on Ana's desk – Finally.

HA JOON: *Confused*  I did?

Ana looks at the slice of toast in his hand - Please eat.

HA JOON: When did I?

Ana confused as to why he's not eating looks at Ha Joon and realizes he's waiting for her answer.

ANA: *Impatient with Ha Joon not taking a bite*  You came up with the idea. *Ha Joon shakes his head*  You did. You came up with the idea in your pick and speak competition in 12th grade.

Ha Joon puts down the slice of toast, having a difficult time remembering.

ANA: *Disappointed to see the toast back on the plate*  Your topic was – One thing I would do to change the future.

Ha Joon freezes – You remember?

ANA [CONTINUES]: You wanted teens to have an early start in the careers they loved.

Ana looks up at Ha Joon, pleading internally for him to pick up the slice and this time actually take a bite of it.

ANA [CONTINUES]: You called it Ha Joon's Paradise.

Leo snarks - Wow Hyung! Pompous much?

Ha Joon, puts the bowl of soup down and drops his elbows on his knees, looking around the room. – All of this from a speech I gave.

He looks back at Ana, lost for words.

ANA: I just tweaked the name a tiny bit.

His eyes drop to the logo on her shirt again and a blast of realization ripples through his core- A June's Paradise. Ana. Joon's. Paradise.
