Unrequited love is something that never comes true
98. Transfer problem


A leisurely weekend

The female protagonist is watching TV in the living room.

slap-

홍여주
...?

엄마
Lady.

홍여주
Huh? Why?

엄마
Do you want to transfer schools?

홍여주
Huh? I don't like it.

홍여주
I'm just starting to adjust.

홍여주
But why are you transferring again?

엄마
Let's go to a better school, okay?

홍여주
No... There's no better school than this one.

홍여주
I don't want to be separated from the kids again...

엄마
"Hey, let's just go for this semester and then transfer. Okay?"

홍여주
No. I won't go. No, I can't go.

Suddenly-

홍여주
I'm not transferring!

bang-

엄마
......

slap-

홍여주
What kind of transfer is this...?

홍여주
I finally met some good friends, so why am I transferring again?

홍여주
I... still like it a lot...

dripping-

엄마
Yeoju... Hong Yeoju...

홍여주
Ah, Mom, get out of here!! I hate you, Mom!! I hate you!!!

홍여주
...... (tap tap)

홍여주
'Mom is always like this...'

홍여주
I want to stay until I graduate from high school...

홍여주
Rather than always wandering around in a state of being neither here nor there, I want to settle down in one place and study...

엄마
Sigh....


홍지수
...? what's the matter?

엄마
I'm trying to send Yeoju to a new school, but she doesn't want to...


홍지수
..... (looking at the female lead's room)


홍지수
Let me tell you.

엄마
No, it's okay.


홍지수
No. There must be a reason why you don't want to transfer, and your mom must have a reason why you have to transfer.


홍지수
So, listen to that woman's story and decide whether you two should make a deal or sign a contract.

엄마
still....


홍지수
Mom, have lunch. I'll try to convince the kid.


홍지수
I did more than him. I just settled into high school and went for 3 years.

엄마
Don't hit the kid or anything. He was already really stressed out and blaming himself for failing the mock exam this time...


홍지수
Okay, don't worry. I won't kill the kid.

엄마
okay.

dripping-

홍여주
who is this....


홍지수
Open the door.

홍여주
I hate it... (sniff)


홍지수
Open the door

홍여주
I don't like it! Get out of here!

홍여주
Don't come, nobody!!


홍지수
...... 'That bastard...' (snap)


홍지수
Let's talk.

홍여주
No. Go away.

홍여주
I don't feel like talking. Just go away.


홍지수
Ah... Open the door before you go in.

Clank clank-

홍여주
I don't like it...! Go away! I hate it all! I hate it all!


홍지수
Ha... This bitch is just going to show me...

엄마
Hong Ji-soo. Don't do it.

엄마
Just leave the kid alone...

엄마
It's my fault. I don't know what I said to someone who was already stressed...


홍지수
No, I told you the kid is out of his mind.

엄마
Okay. I'm the kid who's beating himself up for getting 70th out of 300. Leave him alone.

엄마
Let's give ourselves some time to gather our thoughts.


홍지수
Ha.... Okay..

Tap tap tap-

홍여주
.....

홍여주
(Phew-) I hate everything... What kind of transfer is this all of a sudden...

홍여주
I thought things were finally getting better...
