The people who matter to us. Nothing we don't need. · Alex smiles. · ALEX: · That sounds perfect. · SEO-YEON: · And you're designing the invitations. · ALEX: · I was afraid you'd say that. · SEO-YEON: · You're a designer. · ALEX: · I design for a living.

And slowly, without either of us planning it, this place became more than somewhere I lived. · Seo-yeon's eyes remain fixed on him. · ALEX: · You made the ordinary days matter. You made a place feel like home without ever asking me to become someone else. · His voice grows softer. · ALEX: · I can't promise that I'll always know what to do. I probably won't. But I promise I'll keep showing up. I'll listen, I'll learn, and I'll keep choosing you. On the easy days and the difficult ones. · He smiles at her. · ALEX: · I choose you, Seo-yeon. Today, tomorrow, and all the ordinary days we haven't lived yet. · Seo-yeon holds his hands a little tighter. · When she speaks, her voice is gentle and steady. · SEO-YEON: · For a long time, I thought protecting the people I loved meant keeping everything under control. · She gives a small, self-conscious laugh. · SEO-YEON: · I wasn't very good at that. · Alex smiles. · SEO-YEON: · Then you came into my life and reminded me that I don't have to know every answer before I take the next step. · She looks at him with open affection. · SEO-YEON: · With you, I can be uncertain. I can be tired. I can be myself, even when I don't know exactly what that means. · Her eyes glisten. · SEO-YEON: · You never asked me to be less afraid. You just stayed beside me while I learned how. · She gently strokes his fingers with her thumb. · SEO-YEON: · I choose you, Alex. I choose the life we'll build, the mistakes we'll make, the things we'll learn, and every morning I get to wake up next to you. · She smiles through her emotion. · SEO-YEON: · Even the terrible jokes. · Alex lets out a quiet laugh. · ALEX: · That's a very generous vow. · A few guests chuckle. · Seo-yeon smiles at him, then grows serious again. · SEO-YEON: · I love you.

When they separate, Seo-yeon rests her forehead against his. · SEO-YEON (whispering): · We're married. · Alex smiles, almost disbelieving. · ALEX: · Yeah. We are. · She laughs softly. · SEO-YEON: · Are you happy? · He brushes a loose strand of hair away from her face. · ALEX: · More than I know how to say. · He kisses her once more. · For a moment, the world belongs only to them. · ⸻ · SCENE 7 — HOME · LOCATION: Their shared apartment in Seoul, living room and kitchen, inside. · TIME: Evening, several hours after the wedding. · LIGHTING: Warm lamps illuminate the familiar apartment.

You're allowed. · She looks at him. · SEO-YEON: · You're tired too. · ALEX: · I'm saving my energy for the honeymoon. · She gives him a playful look. · SEO-YEON: · You should probably start by putting the flowers in water. · Alex looks toward the dining table. · ALEX: · I knew there would be responsibilities. · She laughs and walks over to him. · He opens his arms, and she steps into them. · They hold each other in the middle of their living room, still wearing their wedding rings. · After a while, Seo-yeon lifts her head. · SEO-YEON: · Can I ask you something? · ALEX: · Anything. · SEO-YEON: · Do you ever think about what would have happened if you hadn't come to Korea? · Alex considers the question. · He thinks of Spain, of the life he left behind, of the uncertainty that followed him to Seoul. He remembers the hotel, the first encounters, the awkward conversations, the days when he didn't know where he belonged. · Then he looks at his wife. · ALEX: · Sometimes. · SEO-YEON: · And? · He smiles gently. · ALEX: · I think I would have found another way forward eventually. · She listens. · ALEX: · But I wouldn't have found you. · Seo-yeon's expression softens. · ALEX: · And I don't want to imagine a life where I never met you. · She wraps her arms around him again. · SEO-YEON: · I'm glad you came here. · ALEX: · Me too. · She looks up at him. · SEO-YEON: · Welcome home, Alex. · He smiles. · ALEX: · Thank you, wife. · She laughs, hiding her face briefly against his chest. · SEO-YEON: · You're going to keep saying that, aren't you? · ALEX: · For at least a week. · SEO-YEON: · I give you three days. · ALEX: · Five. · SEO-YEON: · Four. · ALEX: · Deal. · They kiss, laughing softly. · Alex takes her hand and leads her toward the kitchen. · ALEX: · Now, what do you want for dinner? · Seo-yeon looks at him with mock seriousness. · SEO-YEON: · Something you can't ruin. · ALEX: · Our first evening as a married couple, and already you're questioning my abilities. · SEO-YEON: · I'm protecting our future. · He laughs, and she joins him. · The camera slowly pulls back, leaving them together in the warm light of their apartment. · The place they chose. · The life they built. · The home they share. · FINAL PANEL: · Alex and Seo-yeon stand together by the apartment window, fingers intertwined, their wedding rings visible. Seoul glows beyond the glass. · NARRATION: · Alex came to Korea thinking he needed to leave his old life behind. · He never expected to find a new one. · And he never expected that, somewhere along the way, a foreign city would become home. · Not because the city changed. · Because he found someone to build a life with. · Seo-yeon rests her head against his shoulder. · SEO-YEON: · What are you thinking about? · Alex looks at her and smiles. · ALEX: · That I don't have much reason to go anywhere. · She raises an eyebrow. · SEO-YEON: · Good. There are still boxes in the storage room. · Alex stares at her in mock horror. · ALEX: · I thought we were done with those! · Seo-yeon bursts into laughter. He pulls her close and kisses her as she continues laughing. · NARRATION: · Your Korea. My world. · THE END.
