Summer High School, 1st grade, class 3

인물
hi?


정은비
..who are you?

인물
Huh? Ah.. uh.. I..


황은비
Hwang Eun-bi, class 5, grade 1, I'm sorry. I called you out of the blue without even giving you my full name.


정은비
…So why? Why did you call me?


황은비
No, it's nothing special... I asked the principal, and he said you were selected for swimming?


정은비
..what?


황은비
No, we're in the swim club! Oh, the girl next to me is Kim Ye-won. She's in the same class as you, and she's in the swim club too.


김예원
Oh.. hello? haha


정은비
..ha..so what do you want to say


황은비
Come join the swimming club! And I know you too, you're really famous...


정은비
shut up.


황은비
uh..?


정은비
Shut up, get out of my place. I'm not joining the swim team. I don't care about that kind of stuff anymore. So don't come to me and ask me to join the swim team.

Eunbi spoke with a very firm tone, then lay down and curled up as if telling him not to touch her.

Eun-bi Hwang is flustered and Ye-won Kim is so sorry that she doesn't know what to do.


김예원
I told you not to do that, we're not even close yet...


황은비
Ah..no..


김예원
You go to your class quickly, it'll be over soon.


황은비
Huh..? Huh...

Eunbi Hwang walked towards the back door, as if to quietly return to her classroom, but then suddenly turned around and approached Eunbi again.


황은비
No. Hey, but wait a minute


김예원
Oh, what's wrong with you again!


황은비
No, is it really worth getting cursed at like that just because I asked you to join the swimming club?


황은비
Hey you wake up, hey!

Hwang Eun-bi woke Eun-bi up by hitting her shoulder, perhaps because she was upset about being scolded.


황은비
Hey, are you ignoring me? Hey! Wake up!


황은비
It was a long time ago, so I came here to ask you to join us. Is that something to be criticized for? Let's join the swimming team!

bang!!!!!!!!!!


정은비
Oh shit, seriously!!!


정은비
Hey, are you close with me? Or do we know each other?


정은비
Why do you keep bothering me while swimming and swimming!!


정은비
Fuck, I told you I didn't want to do it, right? I was elected. But what? If I was elected, everyone had to be in the swim team?


황은비
Ah.. no.. that's not it... because you're good at it.. you're better off too, you'll do what you're good at.. and you were really famous in elementary school..

At that time, Eunbi grabbed Hwang Eunbi by the collar and pulled her.


정은비
Please shut up. I don't want to hear about that swimming anymore. It's annoying, whether it was famous or not. I don't want to hear any of it!

Then the front door opens and someone comes in.


최유나
What's going on behind the scenes?? The class bell rang... Are you guys fighting?!


김예원
Ah... no, teacher! That's why this...

Eunbi let go of Hwang Eunbi's collar after seeing her homeroom teacher. Eunbi sat down as if nothing had happened.


황은비
Huh.. hey..!


최유나
"Stop it. You're not in our class. Go back to your class for now. During the next break, all three of you come to the counseling room."


김예원
yes….


황은비
yes..


정은비
……


Eunbi lay face down throughout the entire class and didn't get up. And then the bell rang, signaling recess.


최유나
Okay, until next class, translate it. Jeong Eun-bi, Kim Ye-won, follow me.


김예원
yes..


정은비
….

Eunbi, as if in rebellion, refuses to get up and continues to lie face down.


최유나
Jeong Eun-bi?


정은비
….


최유나
Ha… First, just follow Yewon.


김예원
yes..

The homeroom teacher, as if he had no other choice, took Kim Ye-won to the counseling room.

Summer high school counseling room.

The door opens and Hwang Eun-bi comes in.


최유나
Hey, you're here? Come sit down.


황은비
yes..

Kim Ye-won and Hwang Eun-bi both sit in their seats and just watch.


최유나
You... I think you were in class 5, right?


황은비
Yes... I'm Hwang Eun-bi from class 5, grade 1.


최유나
Our classmate Eunbi has the same name, right? What happened earlier?


황은비
No, that's it..! That black hair..


김예원
Let me tell you, that is…

Kim Ye-won stops Hwang Eun-bi and talks to her, organizing things step by step.


최유나
Yeah... that happened...


최유나
So you're both in the swimming club, and you got emotional trying to recruit Eunbi and got into a fight?


황은비
Yes... Oh, but Kim Ye-won didn't fight, she stopped it. If you have any penalty points or fines, give them to me.


김예원
No, I couldn't stop it either... I was also at fault...


황은비
No, I was the one who fought


김예원
But still... how could you turn it all upside down by yourself...


최유나
Stop, haha. Are you two really close friends?


최유나
I wasn't planning on punishing you. I just called to find out what was going on. Okay, I understand. Just go.


황은비
Yes..! Thank you! The English teacher is truly an angel, just like her nickname!


김예원
Ah.. Goodbye! Thank you..!

The two students greet each other with relief and leave.


최유나
Eunbi seems to have something to do with swimming... I guess we should talk about it first...

Yuna also got up immediately and left the counseling room, heading to the classroom.

Summer High School, Grade 1, Class 3


최유나
Eunbi, Jeong Eunbi?

Eunbi isn't there. She's nowhere to be seen in class...


최유나
Guys, where did Eunbi go??

인물
He suddenly packed his bags and left earlier... I think he went home.


최유나
What?? Oh, uh... Okay, I understand! Everyone, get ready for class!

Summer High School principal's office

Yuna returned to the teachers' office and checked Eunbi's emergency contact list.


최유나
First, I need to contact this number... 010...

Yuna made a phone call, but...


최유나
Are you busy? You're not answering. First of all, Eunbi's phone number is...

Yuna calls Eunbi's cell phone number.

Eunbi's house. Room

Eunbi lies face down on the bed, her phone ringing repeatedly. The two letters "Homeroom Teacher" appear on the screen.


정은비
Should I drop out? Why the swimming team? Why?


정은비
I really hate it... I really hate swimming.


정은비
Jeong Eun-bi's height. Idiot. What a jerk.

Eunbi muttered for a while and then fell asleep.

I think portion control is the hardest thing in the world.
