Chapter 5

Mark (anxiously): Are you okay?

Hana: Yes, I'm fine, thank you. -smiles sadly-

Mark: Hey, don’t be like that.

-Takes her to the bathroom-

Hana: This is for boys.

Mark: I know. Should I go into the girls' bathroom instead?

Hana: And should I go into the boys' bathroom?

Mark: Yes, you’re a boy.

-Slaps him angrily-

Mark: Ouch, that hurt! I was just joking. I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to help clean you up.

Hana: Clean up and be quiet, idiot.

Mark: A shorty and angry too - laughs softly -

-Slaps him again on the shoulder-

Mark: Wow, your slaps really hurt. What’s up with your tiny but painful hands?

Hana: You deserve it! Why are you mocking me? I’m your lady.

Mark: Okay, okay, I apologize, my spoiled Lady Hana.

-Starts washing her hair quickly and gives her his coat to wear-

Mark: You can’t go to class like this, right? After all, you’re from a very well-known family.

-She smiles-

Hana: Thank you, sir.

-She leaves immediately after he finishes washing her hair-

-Mark arrives ten minutes late to class-

Professor: Are you just now deciding to show up?

Mark: Come on, Professor, I’m only ten minutes late, not half an hour or an hour!

Professor: Are you talking back to me?

Mark: I’m not talking back; I’m just stating the facts.

-He looks at Hana for help-

Hana: Oh, right, you should expel him. You know you shouldn’t be five minutes late for a lecture.

-He glares at her seriously-

-He leaves immediately-

Professor: Let’s finish what we were discussing.

"At Mark's father's house"

-Mark's father is looking at his phone-

Stepmother: What are you looking at with such warmth?

Father: You know you shouldn’t interfere in things that don’t concern you, right?

Stepmother (angrily): I’m your wife! I have the right to know what you’re up to!

Father: Right, I’m starting to dislike you now, so don’t overstep your boundaries with me!

Stepmother: Haven’t you noticed that since that woman arrived, you’ve been turning against me? What did she tell you to confuse you?

Father: It’s between me and her, and her name is my love, not "that woman." Watch your words.

Stepmother: You're becoming...-raises his hand to hit her-

Jake (suddenly entering): So, that’s why you didn’t come to the office, to hit my mother, right?

Father (shocked): S-son...

Jake: I came to tell you I’m traveling for two weeks to relax.

Stepmother (shouting): You can’t! Your father is attacking me right now, and you’re letting him?

Jake (coldly): Since when do I get involved in your issues, Mom? You know why Dad is angry, don’t you?

-Slaps him hard on the head-

Stepmother: I want you to leave, and I don’t want to see your face ever again!

Jake: As you wish. You’re becoming hated because your actions are ugly... I wonder who I take after, you or Dad?

-The couple suddenly falls silent-

Jake: Why are you both so quiet all of a sudden?

Father tries to change the subject: Go visit your brother. I want you to tell me how he’s doing.

Jake: Now?

Father: No, at three o’clock so you can have lunch with them.

Jake: Okay. -leaves without saying goodbye to his mother-

Father (angrily): If he finds out about this, you know he’ll never forgive you, right?

Stepmother: Shut up! And never bring this up in front of him again!

Father: I’m really lucky he resembles...-she immediately hits him on the mouth-

Stepmother: Don’t you dare, or you’ll see something you won’t like!

"On the Road"

Shadi: Answer me, damn it.

-Sends a message-

Shadi: Mom, where are you? You said you’d introduce me to my brother. Answer me. I’m exhausted.

Shadi: At least tell me the address.

-She sends the address without saying anything-

Shadi: Why are you so cold with me today? Are you afraid of what I might do?

-She doesn’t reply-

Shadi: Fine, I’ll come to the address.

"On the road near the mansion"

Jumana (shouting): Ivan!

-He covers her mouth-

Ivan: Girl, why are you shouting like that?!

Jumana: Are you embarrassed by my voice? -pretends to be sad-

Ivan: Ugh, that’s not what I meant, I...-she enters the restaurant before he finishes his sentence-

Ivan: Jumana! How can you just...-she slams the door shut-

Ivan: Seems like she’s upset. Damn it, what do I do now?

"In the Subway restaurant"

-She approached him without him noticing-

Hana: The glutton is so angry he left without his lady.

-Mark jumps up from his seat-

Hana: Wow, wow, you’re eating?

Mark: I’ll eat it on the way.

Hana: I’m sorry.

Mark: I don’t accept your apology. You’re mean. I asked for help, and you turned me down. Fine, I’ll show you.

Hana: I was just joking.

Mark (angrily): You have no right to joke in very serious situations!

-She becomes scared and walks quietly-

Mark: Yeah, pretend to be sad now and go complain to your father, spoiled brat!

Hana (firmly): I won’t tell him, but don’t overstep your boundaries with me.

Mark: You started it first! You think I’ll laugh? Your joke was really lame, Hana!

Hana (yelling): I didn’t know you were this hot-tempered! I won’t joke with you again!

Mark (angrily): Don’t raise your voice at me. I’m talking to you calmly, and we’re in public too!

-She walks away angrily-

Mark: Just what I needed. She makes a mistake and then gets mad! Real split personality.

"At the mansion"

-She enters angrily-

Hana’s Mother: Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Why are you so upset?

Hana (angrily): I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.

Mark’s Mother: Oops.

-Mark enters with a sandwich in hand-

Mark’s Mother: My little prince has arrived -kisses his cheek-

Mark: Were you waiting for me?

Mark’s Mother: Of course, I’m waiting for my wonderful son.

-He kisses her on the forehead-

-Hana slams the door hard to show she’s angry-

Mark: The house is going to collapse.

Mark’s Mother: What happened?

Mark: Nothing, Mom, don’t worry.

Mark’s Mother: Come on, go change your clothes.

"At the dining table"

Hana’s Mother: Why aren’t you eating, sweetheart?

Hana: I’m eating now, Mom.

-Mark was standing behind her-

-Ivan pulls him away-

Ivan: You shouldn’t ruin their meal.

Mark: What do you mean?

Ivan: During meals, you and I stay here in the kitchen.

Mark: Why?

Ivan: Because we’re not welcome at the dining table. Private things are discussed there.

Mark: First of all, sir, don’t grab my arm whenever you feel like it, got it?

Ivan: I apologize.

Mark: How old are you? You look young.

Ivan: I’m nineteen years old.

Mark: Oh, I’m a year older than you, so you should respect me and not grab my hand like that again, or you’ll regret it.

Ivan: I apologize... -lowers his head-

-Mark pats his hair-

-Ivan quickly pulls away-

Ivan: I don’t like that gesture... it makes me feel like a dog.

Mark: You are a dog, really. Oh, I’m sorry, sorry.

-Ivan glares at him seriously and leaves-

Mark: Looks like the kid got mad.

-The door is knocked on-

-The maid opens the door-

Jake: Hello, miss.

Maid: Hello, sir. Is there something you need?

Jake: I’m here for Mr. Mark. The family knows I’m coming. Let them know... I’m Mark’s brother.

Maid: Right away.

-She goes to inform the master-

Father: Yes, yes, let him in. What are you waiting for?

Mark’s Mother: Did you say Mark’s brother?

Father: Yes, he’s the son of my ex-wife. Don’t you know? They have another son?

Mark’s Mother: I know he was married, but I didn’t know he had a son other than Mark!

-Jake enters and bows to them-

Father (shocked): Come in, son, come in.

-He sits beside Mark’s mother-

Mark’s Mother: Son, you know who I am, right?

Jake: Yes, you’re my father’s ex-wife.

Mark’s Mother: Are you really his son?

Mark (from behind): Mom, what’s with these questions?

Father: Greet your brother, Mark.

-Mark immediately hugs him-

Jake: I missed you, you idiot.

Mark: Me too, a lot, a lot.

-The door is knocked on again-

The maid opens the door.

Maid: How can I help you, sir?

...: Tell the lady - Mark’s mother - she’ll recognize me immediately.

Maid: Who should I tell her is here?
