Don't curse me, curse yourself
Jungkook's parents

“Haa... I don’t want to go in... But still... I have to go in, right? If I don’t want to get hit...”
(I go home with a heavy heart again today because I know I'll get scolded. I'll get nagged for not studying, I'll get nagged for coming home late. I feel like the day has ended with nagging and surveillance, but I have no choice but to go home.)
정국
“.....I'm back”
엄마
"Where have you been all this time? You haven't even answered the phone."
정국
“...Mom has a cell phone...”
엄마
“Hey…you…why don’t you go in and study? I told you to get first place, what do you mean third place..!!”
정국
“....I was wrong...I'll go in quickly and study...”
엄마
“Anyway, I can’t stand to see myself studying because I take after my father!”
아빠
“What did you just say? That you look like me? You look like me!”
엄마
“Huh, what are you talking about... You look like me!”
아빠
"You bought this house with my money. What did you add to it? You're the kind of person who bought luxury goods with my money."
엄마
"Honey, are you telling me to pretend to be a beggar? The wife of a group member who's worse than you is carrying more expensive luxury goods than I do."
아빠
“So what, that person is that person and you are you and oh my… I’m the one who should stop talking about the village!”
엄마
“Don’t say anything! Jeon Jungkook, go to your room quickly and study. Why are you watching something fun!!”
정국
“.....I was wrong...I'll go to my room quickly...”
정국
“Sigh... I wish they would stop... fighting... It’s so... boring.”
엄마
"Jeon Jungkook's mom is coming in."
정국
“Ah... yes... you’re here..? Please take a seat...”
엄마
“You have homework for all subjects today. How many subjects did you solve?”
정국
“I’ve solved about 8 subjects... I have 5 subjects left...”
엄마
"Okay, I got it. Solve it. I'll grade it."
정국
“Yes... I understand...”
(So my mom took my textbook and started grading it. Her expression as she was grading it gradually became colder. I was so scared that I just stared at the book and solved the problems. Then my mom called me and said to me.)
엄마
"Jungkook, you've improved somewhat compared to before... but why are you making so many mistakes? With these grades, you can't even dream of being admitted to S University as the top student."
정국
“......Haa....yes...I know...I understand...”
엄마
“Where did you get the chance to answer your mom so rudely?! Don’t you speak clearly..?! You have no manners!!”
(My mom threw a piece of paper from her homework at me. It cut my face and scratched me. My mom didn't care and kept nagging me.)
엄마
“You really... I didn’t raise you like this. Get Jeon Jungkook, who listens well, is polite, and responds well. Get out.”
(Mom grabbed my sleeve and dragged me. Dad, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, looked startled and said to Mom.)
아빠
“What is this wife doing!! Trying to kick out my son?! Get out of here, you idiot!”
엄마
“What..? A loser..?! Did you just call me a loser?!”
아빠
“Yeah, I said he was a loser. He’s a loser who’s obsessed with luxury goods!”
엄마
"Oh my... Seriously, I don't have anyone on my side! Jeon Jungkook, you think you're lucky because of your dad. If you answer with such a half-assed attitude again, I'll kick you out of the house."
(Mom slammed the bedroom door and went inside. The awkward tension between Dad and me hung in the air, and Dad opened his mouth with some difficulty.)
아빠
“......It seems quiet now, so go back to your room and study. Don’t make Mom angry.”
(It's the same. My 18 years of life, living under pressure, oppression, and persecution to study from my mom and dad. When will I be able to end that life? Or when will I be able to be freed from this place and be happy? I want to fly freely in the wind like the cherry blossom petals seen through the window, out into the world.)
정국
“....I want to roam the world freely like those cherry blossom petals...without anyone...oppressing me...ㅎ”
(I went back up to my room, looking at the cherry blossom tree through the window leading to the stairs, and then I studied again to please my parents.)
