Unrequited love - Can I hold your hand forever?
Episode 9 - A Terrifying Flashback...



田柾國
I went too far...


田柾國
Should I apologize... offer comfort...?


田柾國
Seeing her like this... I don't know why, but it makes me feel bad...


田柾國
(Standing near the open kitchen, thinking...)

Y/N
Miraculous tamarisk...

Y/N
It seems like someone's behind me...

Y/N
(turn around)

Y/N
Jeon Jungkook?! (Shocked)


田柾國
What happened?! (Startled by the scream)

Y/N
No...no


田柾國
I'm sorry... I startled you...


田柾國
And then there were the things that shouldn't have been mentioned during the meal...

Y/N
It's okay (hang in there...)


田柾國
No...you have something on your mind...


田柾國
(It hurts so much...)


田柾國
(Jeon Jungkook... hurry and comfort her...)


田柾國
She was about to cry...


田柾國
(Reaching out to embrace her)


田柾國
Don't hold it in... just say what's on your mind.


田柾國
I'm here...

Y/N
Thank you……

Y/N
(Just then, memories of last month flooded my mind...)

Just a heads up, there might be a few swear words in the scene, please be aware, thank you.

One day last month...

Smash! (Opens the door forcefully)

My mom and I were in the living room at that time...

Y/N媽媽
Honey... why do you smell like alcohol again...?

Y/N爸爸
You don't need to worry about it!! (Very loud)

Y/N媽媽
Let's have dinner then...

Dad started doing this a few months ago...

He throws a tantrum every time he comes home...

Then I started going home less and less...

Since then...

I started to be very afraid of him...

He's getting stranger and stranger...

Sometimes I talk to myself...

There was even a time when I was doing my homework in my room...

I heard him suddenly yell in the room...

That scared me to death...

I'm really scared...

shoot!!

Y/N爸爸
How could this be so fucking awful?! (Shoves all the plates off the table onto the floor)

Y/N爸爸
Is this even fit for human consumption?!

Y/N媽媽
I'm sorry... (I'm afraid)

Y/N爸爸
Go get me the wine!

Y/N媽媽
(kneeling on the ground)

Y/N媽媽
Honey, I beg you... please stop drinking.

Y/N媽媽
What... has happened to you... these past few months? (crying as she speaks...)

Y/N媽媽
The tuition money meant for our daughter... has all been... used up by you...

Y/N媽媽
Don't let this continue...

Y/N媽媽
Okay...? (Starts to cry...)

After Dad went drinking and gambling, he became addicted.

I've lost my job...

And Mom...she works so hard...busy making money every day.

Y/N
Mom, it's okay...

Y/N爸爸
shoot!!

Y/N媽媽
(There is a red patch on her face)

That must have been the first time I'd ever seen my dad like that...

Y/N媽媽
Please come back...? (crying)

Y/N爸爸
Who said he's your husband?!

Y/N爸爸
Stop playing the victim! Get lost!

That night...

It's terrifying...

Dad has gone mad...

He swept all the family photos that were on the living room cabinet onto the floor with one sweep of his hand...

Bang!

And so I looked at the broken group photo lying on the ground...

Dad has really gone completely insane...

Many things in the house are broken...

Y/N媽媽
Aaaaaah!!!

Y/N媽媽
Y/N, let's go!

Y/N
No!! I don't want to!!

I was so panicked at that time...

I immediately ran to my mother's side.

Y/N
Dad!!! (shouting while crying)

Y/N
I'm begging you!!!

I begged on my knees many times to stop...

But he neither appreciated nor paid any attention.

In the end, he beat me and my mom for a long time...

I just want the only normal person to live...

So I kept shielding my mom from it...

Y/N媽媽
Y/N!! You're finally awake!!

Y/N
mom……?

Y/N媽媽
Y/N Mom's here...! Mom will protect you...! (Nervous)

Y/N
Mother…

Y/N
I...I...am...scared

Y/N媽媽
It's okay...! Mom's here...! (hugs)


田柾國
I knew she was troubled...

Y/N
(Silently shedding tears...)


田柾國
It's okay... (pats back)

Y/N
Jeon Jungkook...

Y/N
Thank you……

Y/N
But... I...

Y/N
I'm really scared...

Y/N
(Tears streaming down my face...)


田柾國
I'm here... don't worry...

Y/N
Thank you……


田柾國
You've helped me so much.


田柾國
I should be thanking you...

Y/N
It doesn't matter……

Y/N媽媽
You had a tough day. (laughs)

Y/N媽媽
Thank you (laughs)

Y/N媽媽
Be careful on your way home!


田柾國
Okay, bye-bye Auntie.

Y/N

田柾國
Still brushing your teeth? ㅋㅋㅋ(I see your toothbrush in your mouth)

Y/N
You suddenly rang the bell while I was brushing my teeth...


田柾國
Well... I'm really sorry.

Y/N
No, it's nothing.

Y/N
Come in first.


田柾國
Um


田柾國
I'm here to cook breakfast. You go brush your teeth first.

Y/N

Y/N
That kid is really something... coming all of a sudden...

Y/N
I went out before I even finished brushing my teeth...

Y/N
Ahhhhhh...

Y/N
