š [Scene 1 - Campus Crowd, Late Afternoon]
The crowd moves like a river of light and laughter. Students chatter, powers flicker, illusions shimmer, and energy hums faintly in the air.
Su Hyun's crimson eyes light up again. The world sharpens, everything around him blurring into motionless shadows-except one figure.
She's gone. Blurred by the crowd, a golden outline fleeting like sunlight across water.
He sprints. The energy pulses around him-teleportation flickers, books rise, the air shivers. He moves like a storm cutting through chaos. But she's gone.
He stops mid-courtyard, chest heaving.
Su Hyun (muttering): "Where... did she go?"
Turning, he sees Da Bin lounging casually by the fountain, completely oblivious to the faint echo of golden light he just saw.
Su Hyun: "Da Bin... did you see that girl?"
Da Bin (snacking on a rice ball, eyes wide): "Which girl, bro? I was too busy watching you fall into the pool earlier!"
Su Hyun freezes. Ohhh... right. He shakes his head, suppressing a laugh he doesn't feel.
Su Hyun: "Oh... right."
Da Bin (tilting his head): "Why are you even asking?"
Su Hyun (thinking, a faint smirk curling): "Yess... exactly. That's why I asked... for her? ...Ohhh, forget it."
Da Bin squints, frowning.
Da Bin: "Okay... bro. You okay?"
Su Hyun (straightening): "Yes... I am okay."
But inside, his mind keeps replaying that golden flash, the fleeting presence, the pull of something he doesn't yet understand.
š¤ļø [Scene 2 - seron Home]
The door slams behind her. seron hurries inside, the weight of her adoptive mother's gaze falling like a hammer.
Mom (shouting): "Again late?? My daughter Sera just returned! And what are you doing here? Go clean her room. Now."
seron gulps. Her heart hammers, legs moving before her mind catches up. She rushes to Sera's room, cleaning meticulously.
Books stacked. Floor dusted. Clothes folded. She steps back to admire a small victory-until the door creaks and her mother's sharp voice cuts through again.
Mom: "Why didn't you do the kitchen?!"
Seron (panting): "Mom... I will... just give me 15 minutes."
She dives into the chores, hands submerged in warm water, steam rising like clouds of guilt and obedience.
š [Scene 3 - Su Hyun's Room]
A calm settles over his mansion, but his mind is anything but.
He sits cross-legged, eyes closed. Fingers twitch slightly, tracing invisible threads of energy. The past moments replay:
Her hair flowing like liquid gold, caught in the air.
The way she gently stopped her friends from fighting, commanding calm with nothing but presence.
That smile, soft, untamed, untouched by makeup.
The white dress, like it was made for sunlight, floating in her steps.
His hands hover over the memory, feeling the warmth, the pull of something ancient, unseen.
Su Hyun (whispering, eyes glowing faint crimson): "Who... are you?"
The room shakes slightly as if even the mansion feels the intensity of the question.
š [Scene 4 - seron's House: Sera Returns]
The door bursts open. Sera steps in, towering in confidence and mischief. Her eyes sweep seron's small figure in the room, lips curling into a teasing smirk.
Sera: "Hello, you... ugly frog!!"
Seron freezes.
Sera: "It's been four years since we met-and you still haven't changed a bit. Still the same powerless little worker of our house!"
A laugh escapes her. Then, with a flick of her wrist, a glass rises midair, spinning gently before shattering on the floor.
Sera: "Now clean that too... and don't get jealous that I can do it while you... can't." š
Seron bites her lip, cheeks heating, and bends to pick up the pieces.
Sera sits casually on the bed, crossing her legs, a faint smirk teasing the corners of her mouth.
Sera: "I swear... powerless girls really are the cutest when they panic."
Seron mutters under her breath, cleaning frantically.
Seron: "Cute? I am not cute..."
Sera chuckles, tossing a small paper orb into the air and catching it without moving a muscle.
Sera: "Cute, angry, obedient... all in one package. You're... disappointingly perfect for a human without power, aren't you?"
Seron's fingers freeze mid-swipe. "Disappointing?" Her heart races.
Sera (leaning closer, voice soft but mocking): "Don't worry, I'll teach you... someday. But first... clean faster, frog."
The flicker of golden light from seron's wrist pulses faintly in the corner of the room. No one notices except... her.
š„ [Scene 5 - Su Hyun's Mind Replay + Realization]
Back in his room, Su Hyun leans forward, eyes half-closed, breathing shallow. Every movement she made, every flick of her hair, every soft smile is replayed like a personal cinema.
Su Hyun (softly, crimson glow intensifying): "The way she moves... the way she... shines... Who are you??"
The Red Heir's calm arrogance is stripped away, replaced by unfamiliar, pure curiosity and fascination.
Outside, the mansion trembles slightly, reacting to the pull of something golden on the other side of the city.
š [Scene 6 - Sera & seron: Tension + Humor]
Sera leans back, watching seron scurry around the room.
Sera: "Still nothing in the kitchen... huh?"
Seron: "Mom said 15 minutes, I'm almost done!"
Sera (laughing, crossing her arms): "Almost... like you'll finish it before I teleport this whole house away? Doubt it."
A faint shimmer passes near seron's wrist. Her eyes widen.
Seron (whispering): "Not again..."
Sera cocks her head.
Sera: "Not again? What are you hiding, little frog?"
Seron gulps, and the gold flickers brighter, pulsing softly like a heartbeat.
š¤ļø [Scene 7 - Closing Montage]
Su Hyun staring at the memory replay, crimson eyes glowing, whispering her name to the wind that doesn't exist.
Seron cleaning the kitchen, golden light reflecting faintly in her eyes.
Sera smirking, tossing broken glass in the air, amused by the chaos she causes.
Da Bin waiting at the university, checking his phone, unaware that the Red Heir is distracted by someone else entirely.
Narration (Su Hyun POV): "The world has always bent to my will... but her shadow... the golden shadow... it moves untouched. Who are you?"
The camera pans upward-half the sky bleeding crimson, the other half flickering faint gold.
> "When the Red Heir meets the Golden Echo... the balance of Seorah will tremble."
> Two powers awaken fully.
One, born to dominate.
One, born to calm what cannot be controlled.
And neither knows... how much the universe has already written for them.
To be continue....
