Jihyeon Yeon

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

JIWON!

JIWON!

THE WORLD CAME CRASHING DOWN FOR JIHYEON THAT DAY...

...BUT AN UNEXPECTED GESTURE OF KINDNESS HELPED HIM PULL HIMSELF TOGETHER PRETTY QUICKLY.

HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HO HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT

JUST BECAUSE YOU GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM DOESN'T MEAN YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS OVER.

IF YOU KEEP PUSHING FORWARD, YOU'LL FIND MORE THINGS TO LIVE FOR.

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO LET GO AND

HEY!

TELL ME YOUR NAME.

I'LL LOOK FOR YOU WHEN YOU DEBUT.

...WHAT?

JIHYEON WAS BAFFLED.

DID YOU, BY ANY CHANCE...

HE COULDN'T GET THE WORDS OUT PROPERLY.

NO. WHATEVER IT WAS, IT WASN'T SOMETHING TO DISCUSS HERE.

WAIT, LET'S GET GOING FIRST.

WE'LL LEAVE AND

AJIN BAE!

JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

UH...

...JUST A SEC.

THAT'S MY LITTLE BROTHER.

OH,

SURE.

WHY...

WHY IS HE HERE OF ALL PLACES?!

AN OFFLINE MEETING WITH SOMEONE YOU MET THROUGH A GAME?

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MARBLES?

I HAVE TO SMOOTH THIS OVER SOMEHOW WITHOUT TELLING HIM THE TRUTH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR CLASSES?

WHO IS THAT?

THAT GUY WITH YOU.

FAILED TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT

HE'S AN ACQUAINTANCE.

DOES THAT ACQUAINTANCE HAVE A NAME?

...YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'D KNOW EVEN IF I TOLD YOU!

YOU DO KNOW YOU HAVE A VERY SMALL SOCIAL CIRCLE, DON'T YOU?

WHAT?!

I MEAN, YEAH, BUT I STILL HAVE PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW!

DID HE HEAR ME?

HE'S SOMEONE I MET AT UNI... THROUGH ONE OF MY CLASSES...

OH.

SO YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND BE ON YOUR WAY.

WHAT UNIVERSITY DO YOU GO TO? WHAT'S YOUR MAJOR?

!!!

AND WHY ARE YOU HIDING YOUR FACE SO MUCH?

HEY!

THAT'S RUDE! DON'T PICK A FIGHT WITH HIM!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

A FIGHT?

NEVER MIND, AND CUT IT OUT WITH THE QUESTIONS.

YOU'VE GOT HIM WAITING FOR ME...

...SO LEAVE.

WE WILL NOW HAVE THE FRESHMAN CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, AJIN BAE, MAKE A PLEDGE ON BEHALF OF THE NEW STUDENTS!

YOUR SISTER'S AMAZING, ISN'T SHE?

YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM HER TOO.

IF ANYONE NEEDS TO STOP HERE...

...IT'S YOU.

THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW PATHETIC YOU CAN BE, YOU KNOW.

SO SHUT UP AND FOLLOW ME BEFORE I LOSE MY PATIENCE AND SAY SOMETHING WORSE.

...DO YOU HAVE TO GO?

...YEAH, BUT JUST A MOMENT. I JUST NEED TO CHAT WITH HIM FOR A BIT...

I'M SORRY...

THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW BLOOMIE.

YOU MET THAT GUY LAST TIME YOU WENT OUT TOO, DIDN'T YOU?

...I'M TELLING YOU, HE'S NOT STRANGE OR SHADY AT ALL.

Blue

I'M NOT SOME KID WHO FOLLOWS ANYONE FOR A LOLLIPOP. I HAVE COMMON SENSE, YOU KNOW.

SURE, LET'S SAY YOU DO.

BUT ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO BE DOLLED UP AND OUT DATING GUYS?

WHY DO YOU CARE?

AND WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NOSY?

OH, SO FIRST I'M PICKING A FIGHT WITH THE GUY, AND NOW I'M BEING NOSY?

ENOUGH OF THIS BULLS***.

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME IN YOUR BUSINESS, AT LEAST LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST.

IF YOU CAN STAND ON YOUR OWN, NO ONE WOULD GIVE A F*** ABOUT YOUR LIFE...

WHETHER YOU PLAY GAMES ALL DAY OR DATE SOMEONE.

... I SAID I'M RETURNING TO SCHOOL, DIDN'T I?

YEAH, SO?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO AFTER GRADUATION?

GOT ANY JOBS LINED UP FOR YOU? ANY PLANS?

SEE?

PATHETIC, LIKE I SAID.

YET YOU'RE LOOKING TO TROUBLE SOMEONE NEW?

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS, YOU KNOW.

YOU'VE SUFFOCATED PEOPLE ENOUGH, WITH ALL THE MOPING AND CRYING IN YOUR ROOM EVERY DAY.

DO YOU KNOW WHY I HATE BEING HOME THESE DAYS? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR SORRY A**.

BUT YOU DON'T CARE, DO YOU?

YEAH?

I'LL BE BACK IN A SEC. WHY?

YEAH.

MOM ISN'T GIVING YOU SPACE.

SHE'S BIDING HER TIME, LOOKING FOR A CHANCE TO DUMP YOU.

SO IF YOU WANT HER SUPPORT UNTIL YOU GRADUATE, KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN.

DON'T WASTE TIME OUTSIDE DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT, AND REFLECT ON YOUR LIFE FOR A CHANGE.

SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT YOU ARE NOW.

I KNOW.

I KNOW WHAT I AM.

A DEADWEIGHT TO THIS FAMILY.

A USELESS, PATHETIC LOSER.

I ENDED UP LIKE THAT AT SOME POINT, AND I COULD NEVER UNDO IT.

BUT I...

I...

...I GUESS I STILL FORGET THAT WHENEVER I'M GIVEN A CHANCE.

I'M SORRY...

SHE FELT SORROW.

NOT BECAUSE OF HOW SHARP HER BROTHER'S WORDS WERE...

...BUT BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDENIABLE TRUTHS.

BECAUSE SHE HAD ONCE BELIEVED SHE WOULD BECOME A FINE ADULT...

STUDENT

...ONLY TO END UP AS SHE IS NOW.

BECAUSE HER FAILURE COST HER YOUNGER BROTHER,

LEAVING HIM STRANDED WITHOUT ANYONE TO LEAN ON.

BECAUSE HER MOTHER DIDN'T LOVE HER.

MOM ISN'T GIVING YOU SPACE.

SHE'S BIDING HER TIME, LOOKING FOR A CHANCE TO DUMP YOU.

SO WHO WAS I KIDDING...

...WHEN I THOUGHT I COULD START AGAIN AFTER GETTING SOME PETTY SECRETS OFF MY CHEST?

WITH BLOOMIE, NO LESS?

WHOSE LIFE WAS I PLANNING TO DESTROY NOW, AFTER BRINGING RUIN TO MY OWN FAMILY?

AH...

WAIT, THIS PLACE...

...WHERE AM I?

I'LL BE WAITING IN MY CAR.

CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED, OKAY?

I'LL HEAD OVER TO THAT BUS STATION...

THE ONE WE WERE STANDING BY EARLIER.

OH...

I'M SORRY...

I GOT LOST ON THE WAY...

NO, I...

I RAN TOO FAR AND...

...I WANTED TO CALL...

BUT MY PHONE...

I COULDN'T FIND IT, SO...

FAVORITE COLOR FAVORITE SUBJECT LEAST FAVORITE FOOD

I THINK AJIN REALLY STRUGGLES TO EXPRESS HERSELF.

MA'AM...

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, ISN'T AN OBEDIENT CHILD BETTER THAN A STUBBORN, RUDE ONE?

PARDON?

BUT I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.

BEING INDECISIVE COULD LEAVE A BAD IMPRESSION ON OTHERS, AFTER ALL.

I'LL TEACH HER BETTER NEXT TIME.
