Mi-na: Ryeon!
Ryeon: You're late!
Mi-na: Heh-heh. I forgot I had cleaning duties today.
Ryeon: Ugh, it's hot.
Mi-na: You should have gone to the club room ahead. You know where it is, too.
It's cool there.
Ryeon: ...There are different levels of cool. I don't want to go by myself.
Mi-na: You're still saying that? It'd be better if you thought of it as a regular club.
A regular club... of a circle of delinquents?
Get Together
I feel like the school bathroom is the best place for a smoke.
Keep a lookout.
After School Club Activity
Hey~ buddy! You look flush!
Who...who are you?!
Look straight ahead and keep smiling.
Scholarly Exchange with Other Schools
We'll go to the end of the world just like this!!
[sirens] You on the motorcycle with no helmet, stop!
Kyah!! It's like we're in a movie! Oh my god!!
Advertising/Recruiting/Outreach
[snoring]
What in the world is that girl doing sleeping on the ground?
Isn't that ___ High's uniform?
Ryeon: It's the end...
Hey
*sfx: grab*
Anyway I'll protect you, Mi-na! I'll make sure you're not corrupted!
Mi-na: Okay!
*sfx/text: singing* [note: I have a feeling that the beat is trotto, even though the lyrics aren't quite.]
Ryeon: what kind of song is this
Do-hui: *yawn*
Ryeon: (The mood's different from yesterday...?)
Yang Han-na (3rd year): Welcome, Mi-na! And... Cha Ryeon.
Ryeon: ? ? ?
Mi-na: What are you doing?
Han-na: Knitting.
Mi-na: But it'll be summer soon.
Ryeon: (Wow, she's really terrible....)
Han-na: My goal is to complete it by winter next year.
Mi-na: Wow...
Ryeon: (It seems like buying something would be better.... Next winter....)
Han-na: You're looking dumbstruck today, too. Do you have something to say?
Ryeon: Ah. That's-
(Dumbstruck?)
It seems a lot different from yesterday... And there seems to be fewer people.
Han-na: That's because we got together to greet new members.
Normally we're like this.
Ryeon: (You mean that was all in my head...? No way...)
(Still, it's more ordinary than I thought it'd be...)
But excuse me
I came by 'cause you said we needed to, but now what?
Han-na: You can do whatever you'd like.
Ryeon: ? You have to tell me what we're doing.
Han-na: Like I said, you can do whatever you want to do.
Ryeon: Please tell me what we're supposed to be doing!
Han-na: Doing what you want to do is the club activity!
Ryeon: (Are they joking?) What did you say?
Han-na: Doing what you want to do is the club activity.
Ryeon: I didn't ask for a replay!
Han-na: We have one rule at our club. 'Do whatever you feel like doing.'
Ryeon: (What... is she talking about...)
Han-na: Here there's no one to tell you what to do and no special rules.
You can do what you want, or not, it's all up to you.
Ryeon: (How does that even make sense?)
Then!! If I don't want to come here, is that okay?
Han-na: Of course.
Ryeon: What?! I mean, really?
Han-na: It's up to you if you want to attend meetings.
And well... I would be a little saddened, that's all.
Ryeon: ...
(I guess it might be easier for me to quit than I thought?)
Mi-na: I'll come here every day, so don't be sad, Captain!
Ryeon: (Convincing her might not be so easy though...)
This is weird. It's all too weird!
I thought so from the beginning. How can a club like this exist at our school? Is this really a club?
Han-na: That's because it's "bbak".
Ryeon: (Bbak?)
*sfx: pounding * Delivery!! Hurry up and open the door please!
Do-hui: Ah- we told that guy not to pound on the door. It's gonna break.
Ryeon: (What's going on?)
Do-hui: Mister, you know you're getting slower and slower?
Delivery Guy: That's because the teachers are getting more strict. I thought I was going to die climbing over the fence today.
Do-hui: Are you sure you didn't just get lost?
Delivery Guy: Not at all-
*text: and please don't call me mister*
Han-na: It's a special occasion to welcome our new members.
Ryeon: Listening to the conversation it sounds like an everyday thing.
Didn't you already eat lunch before meeting here?
Han-na: Yes we did.
Ryeon: And you're eating again?
Han-na: We're adolescents. You have to get plenty to eat when you're growing.
Ryeon: But this is kinda....
Han-na: So... are you saying you won't eat?
Ryeon: *sfx: snap* Who!! Who said I wouldn't?!
Mi-na: That's right, don't argue, just eat. The food here is delicious.
Ryeon: You, stop playing with your food!!!

Theme: March of the Fried Dumplings*
Kim Do-hui (2nd Year): Hey, baby chicken!
If you don't like it, you can just leave.
Your chirping's been annoying me since you got here.
*sfx: shine*
Ryeon: Gold tooth!
Do-hui: What?!
Ryeon: A gold tooth. Wow...
That's amazing. It's so cool.
Do-hui: Huh? It's...cool?
Ryeon: Did it rot?
Do-hui: It broke. *sfx: snap*
Han-na [snickering]: Do-hui gets into fights easily, in spite of her appearance. She's sort of unlucky.
Ryeon: (Her appearance seems like it would help in a fight...)
(Haa- I can forget about being in a normal club. Things are just more suspicious than ever before.)
Something... that I want to do?
Around that time in class

Cha Ryeon, you jerk!!! Where did you disappear off to!! How am I supposed to clean all this by myself!!
Cha Ryeon had completely forgotten even about the things she was supposed to do.
Chapter 12: Student Council (?)
http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=58526&no=12&weekday=mon
*sfx: birds chirping*
Min: What about Mi-na?
Min's Dad: She said she had hall monitor duties and left early.
*sfx: pour*
Min's Dad: What kind of school makes you clean all day?
Min: They're all like that.
(Speaking of, she's got cleaning duties, too.)
(She must have left already.)
*sfx: gulp gulp*
Min's Dad: All right- Here you go!
Morning toast. Eat up before you head to class.
Min: I'm not hungry... I'm off.
Min's Dad: Wha-at? No, eat this before you go!
Do you know how unhealthy it is to skip breakfast?!
Min: You're talking about healthy and serving up something like this? It would shorten your lifespan by three months!!!
I'm telling you, don't cook. Mi-na is going to follow your example. And don't eat that!
Min's Dad: but it tastes fine...
Min: Ah! I forgot to tell him I'd be late from now on because of Student Council.
I guess I can tell Mi-na...
*sfx: slam*
Ryeon: Wow- Nice timing.
Today I'm not late! Heh heh heh.
Eh? Mi-na's not out yet? She's so lazy~
Min: ... Should you be this relaxed?
Ryeon: What are you talking about? I'm on time.
Min: I thought you had cleaning duties.
*text: I thought you had cleaning duties.*
Ryeon: AHH!! I totally forgot about it!!!!!
AHHHHH!
Min: Just go to school already!
Ryeon: I! Am going ahead! You take your time!
See you at school!
Min: Phew...
She hasn't changed at all...
Oddly enough, our homeroom teacher likes things to be clean and neat.
Ryeon: He told me to make sure things were clean in the morning!
*flashback: I- I'll definitely remember tomorrow!
Yeong-su: I believe you... *
Ryeon: I was so confident... Yeong-su, I'm sorry...
*caption: It's dangerous to close your eyes while running.*
*sfx: crash*
*caption: See.*
Ryeon: *cough* S- Sorry.
I didn't see you there. Are you okay? (This sucks.)
Student: I'm fine.
Ryeon: I'm really sorrry.
Student: Don't worry about it.
Ryeon: Thanks, kind fellow student! I'll pay you back someday.
Student: *text: you're running without looking again*
Cha Ryeon...?
*sfx: school bells*
Yi Su-yeol (3rd Year): The Student Council formally convenes twice every three months under the teachers' supervision. The different club presidents also attend and we discuss things.
So we also prepare things to discuss. If they're issues we can resolve ourselves, we do, and we can help other clubs if they're short on help. The most difficult time is during the school festival. We get really busy.
Min: I see. So normally we just need to organize paperwork and things like that.
Su-yeol: Right.
Min: I like that it's simpler than I thought it'd be.
Su-yeol: Ah, yeah. It's simple.
Min: (Why is he avoiding eye contact?)
Su-yeol: Anyway, it's a relief.
Min: What is?
Su-yeol: I was worried we'd be forcing you if you really didn't want to join.
Min: (So you were aware of it.)
I said I would, so I can't back out now. Whether I like it or not, I want to stick with it.
Su-yeol: Hm... Now that I think about it, you're a model student with a rebellious streak. Fascinating.
Min: I think it's more fascinating that people think I'm a model student.
...Actually I was wondering
Im Seon-jae (3rd Year): Excuse me!
Let's finish up the new member training. I want to get to discussion.
Min: (I think he cut me off on purpose)
Kim Hui-wan: Discussion? Is something wrong, President?
Seon-jae: Yes it is. You may not have noticed but
Lately the number of couples at our school... has been on the rise.
So I thought this would be a good opportunity to get rid of our co-ed class policy.
Su-yeol: What kind of nonsense are you spouting!!!!
Hui-wan: That's right! Ridiculous!
If I can't be in a glass with girls, then I'm not coming to school!
Chae Seung-eun: If there are more girls in a glass, it gets noisy. I'm against.
Seon-jae: I hate seeing other guys get lucky! It burns me up. You coldhearted people.
Hui-wan: If you're jealous, get a girlfriend. It's not like you're unpopular... Those looks are the kind girls like, aren't they?
Seung-eun: Well...
I think he looks like a creep so no.
Su-yeol and Min: (She's right.)
Seon-jae: Let's stop talking about this, okay?
Hui-wan: Oh yeah, a few students sent in some reports.
It seems like some clubs are ordering out for food.
Su-yeol: Our school is a closed campus...
Hui-wan: Upon investigation the rumor is that that restaurant is really good...
So before the teachers find out, we should order once. I like jjambbong. [spicy noodles]
Seung-eun: Tangsuyuk. [sweet and sour pork]
Min: The conversation changed into something silly again.
Seon-jae: Hey! You guys kidding me?
Why do you want Chinese food? If it's not Korean, then I won't eat it!
Min: He's like a middle-aged man.
Su-yeol: *ugh* He's exactly like that.
Seon-jae: What? It's that your palates are dull.
Min, how about you? You prefer Chinese food, too?
Min: I... Korean food, if I had to choose, but.
How much longer are we going to discuss this stupid topic?
*sfx: freezing*
Min: (I feel like I dumped ice water on a bunch of kids playing.)
Su-yeol: *text: * You're so cool! I feel like I'm falling in love!
Min: That's okay!!
That's right...
All this time I was wondering
If Su-yeol had an alternate reason for wanting me to join the Student Council.
And now I think I understand a little better
Su-yeol was definitely...
(Tired of dealing with things on his own...)
Seon-jae: So if you hook up in spring then you break up by autumn! By spring half the people are crazy.
Hui-wan : No, the power of love doesn't weaken that easily!
Seung-eun : Even so it's three months, tops.
Su-yeol: Please just stop...
*caption: This meaningless conversation went on for another thirty mintues.*

Do-hui: Why do I gotta feel sorry for you, huh? If you're broke, give it up!
Han-na: That's right. Prolonging the inevitable is just harder on you, Mi-na. Let's end it here.
Mi-na: *sob* I believed you... how can you treat me this way?
*board game: "Future Game: All you need to do is save the economy")*
*sfx: noisy*
Do-hui: If you're out of cash, hand over Jejudo Island!
Mi-na: Poor Jejudo...
Han-na: Competition means survival of the fittest.
Ryeon: (With you guys playing it, it's like a game of corporate takeover.)
*sfx: flop*
(I'm going to keep an eye on things for a while. I'm worried about Mi-na being alone here.)
*sfx: slide*
*sfx: doom*

Ryeon: ...? Ah!
*sfx: quaking* H...here...
*book title: Alien Communication: Who Moved My Bbangsang?
Han-na: *sfx: squeeze* ...Thank you.
Ryeon: (She scared me...)
(I wonder if she joined the club really thinking it was about mysteries... She's mumbling... Communicating with something?)
*sfx: mutter mutter*
*sfx: door being flung open*
Na La-la (3rd Year)
Do-hui: Oh! Good afternoon, La-la.
Mi-na: Good afternoon!
Ryeon: A-aftern-
Song-lee: Good afternoon...
La-la: Hey. Looks like you're having fun.
Do-hui: Do you want to play too?
La-la: Nah, it's fine.
*sfx: glance*
La-la: You're Cha Ryeon, right? How's the club so far?
Ryeon: (But this club doesn't do anything? She asking me on purpose?)
Well...
I think it's a great place for wasting time.
*sfx: complain complain*
*text: sneaking a glance*
Han-na: I see, you don't appreciate the value of time.
Do-hui: What a sad life.
Mi-na: You shouldn't be like that, Ryeon!
Ryeon: Mind your own business!
La-la: Han-na, I need to talk to you outside.
Han-na: I'm in the middle of a game-
La-la: I can see that. Play that later and come here.
Han-na: But this is a critical moment-
*sfx: drag*
Han-na: Cha Ryeon, can you fill in for me?
Ryeon: Huh?!
Wait... I'm really bad at this kind of thing!
Han-na: Just for a second, thanks!
*sfx: door slam*
Do-hui: Hurry up, pinch-hitter. One-hit wonder.
Mi-na: If it's Ryeon, than even I can win!
Ryeon: You jerks!! I'm going to make you regret challenging me!!!!
La-la: It's gotten louder.
Han-na: Probably because of the new members?
La-la: Those kids... why did you accept them?
Han-na: We've never cared about that since the beginning?
La-la: Did you know Mi-na's brother joined the Student Council?
Han-na: Oh? I might have heard about it.
La-la: ...So you knew.
I wish you'd told me earlier.
Han-na: It's nothing to worry about.
La-la: I saw someone printing out our club's roster when I was walking by the office today.
Han-na: La-la! You peeked a look at someone else's monitor?
That's so terrible. That's basic manners.
La-la: That... that's not the issue here.
Things might get complicated. It looks like someone from the Student Council... is investigating us.
Han-na: I was wondering why you were being so serious.
You worry too much. Who cares about the Student Council?
La-la: You're laid back to a fault.
I don't like things getting out of hand. For the sake of the other kids, too.
Han-na: I'm the same.
Let's just keep on eye on things for now. If something happens, our informant will come find us.
La-la: I... don't trust that guy.
Han-na (laughing): But he's still a good addition to our club.

Chae Seung-eun (2nd Year, Member of the Student Council): A mystery club...
+ bbangsang: Reference to a Korean meme (early 2008): A TV/internet personality made popular/made fun of in the media for claiming to have a deep knowledge of aliens. Referred to as 'The Bbangsang Lady' ('bbangsang' was one of the the 'alien' words/phrases she used, i.e. 'the first thing you should greet an alien with'). The comic uses 'bbangsang' as a noun, rather than an adjective or salutation.
Chapter 14: Go Forth, Young Man [or 'Burn it Down, Young man]
http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=58526&no=14&weekday=mon
*sfx: slam*
Don't try to stop me!! I'm quitting this club!!!!
You think you can run the Basketball Club without me? You'll regret it!!
Nearby Students: What's going on? Is there a fight?
Student with Broom: Where are you going? You're supposed to clean today, Yi Do-hun!
Do-hun: Eat this!!!
Assholes!!!!
Yi Do-hun (2nd Year, Basketball Club): Shit.
There are exactly two things I don't like about this school.
*text: they should have at least come after me*
One, a basketball club that doesn't recognize my genius talent.
Do-hun: When do we get our uniforms? I'm number four, right?
Club Captain: You go polish the balls over there. And work on your dribbling.
The other thing is,
An Min. This bastard!
Min: What?
At the beginning of the year, that is, until just a short while ago, the basketball club was wracking its brains out to get this guy to join.
Bastketball Club: Apparently he was pretty famous in middle school.
He's popular with girls, too.
Should we add him to the roster?
If the captain found out you'd be dead though.
But this guy!!!!
Do-hun: Looks like Student Council is pretty fun, huh? Even though when the Basketball Club asked, you refused right away.
Min: What are you talking about? The Student Council isn't a club.
Do-hun: That's not the problem, you know?
The problem is how laughable you thought the basketball club must have been to join those pansies.
What are you going to do about our image you ruined?
Min: Who cares? The school store's about to close. Move out of the way.
Do-hun: Hey!! I'm being serious here and you're whining about the school store?
You better watch out from now on. We could make your life a living hell.
Kim Hui-wan (1st Year): That's true.
*sfx: sudden*
Although if the Student Council made a move, the Basketball Club might just dissappear.
Isn't that right, Min?
Do-hun: That Student Council shortie!!
Hui-wan: You shouldn't bully other students!
Min: I haven't been bullied.
Do-hun: Shut up! It's because you guys got in the way we became a laughingstock!
Hui-wan: There you go again-
Wasn't the Basketball Club only recruiting Min to get girls?!
*sfx: accusing*
Do-hun: Huh?! N-no!! Not me!!
Hui-wan: You mean you really just wanted to play basketball with Min?
Do-hun: Huh?
Hui-wan: Now you can't, so that's why you're mad?
Min: Oh- That's what it was.
Do-hun: Of course that's not what it was!
I hate guys like you who think they're so great!
Min: Are you talking about yourself?
Do-hun: Hah! You better watch it, An Min!! There will come a day when you're crying on your knees before me!!
Min: (Shoot, I forgot my money in the classroom!!)
Do-hun: That's right! Just you wait with that scared expreshuk!!?
*sfx: punch*
Basketball Club Captain: You dumbass!! You bailed out on cleaning so you could go around blackening our name!!
Do-hun: ...that hurt, bro...
Basketball Club Captain: Call me Captain!!
Do-hun: What? You're always being mean to me!! I'm really gonna quit the Basketball Club!!
Basketball Club Captain: You're still being a brat?
*sfx: bone*
Do-hun: Ackkkkk!!
Basketball Club Captain: Just because you didn't make first string, you're taking it out on An Min?!
Do-hun: Augh! Don't say that!!
Damn it! That's because everyone keeps talking about An Min!
Even though I'm better than him! (Probably)
Basketball Club Captain:
Think about your own level first!!
*text: you can't even dribble*
*sfx: plopk*
Do-hun: I hate you!! Die, An Min!!
Min: *text: why me*
Basketball Club Captain: Sorry our members keep bugging you.
Min: It's fine. But is it okay to send him off like that...?
Basketball Club Captain: Yeah, even though he's always saying he'll quit, he always crawls back.
He's not that good yet, but he really likes basketball.
Hui-wan: He's a young man on fire.
Min: On fire.
Basketball Club Captain: If he does that again, just mess him up.
*sfx: kick*
Do-hun: An Min looked like he didn't even care. Bastard. I'll definitely pay you back.
*sfx: rustling*
Do-hun: Huh?
(It's that girl who's always following Min around...)
(Girlfriend!)
*caption: No.*
(What's she dong by herself?
Do-hun: Wait.
(This is my chance! I'll get her to be my girlfriend, then An Min will really cry!
*caption: He seems to think she'll become his girlfriend, just like that.*
(But I haven't really talked with girls before... what should I say?
Uh, hi... You...Your silhouette is really beautiful.
If it's okay, do you want to carrot
juice
at the
school store.
(Dammit... there were other people. Did they hear what I said. Of course they did.)
I want to disappear
carrot juice
(They're really scary looking for a bunch of girls.)
and I'm scared.
Do-hun: ...Ahaha! Oh... did I lose my way? Excuse me-
*sfx: bump*
Do-hun: *text: bump?*
*text: a little kid?*
Song-lee: There's... someone... behind you.
Do-hun [screams]: Ahhhhhh!! A ghost!! She's got a knife! Save me!!
Song-lee: It's a trowel, so I'm not sure you'd die with one blow.
Ryeon: What are you even saying.
Huh? Aren't you Min's friend?
Do-hun: Who-who'd be friends with him!
*text: I thought I was going to pass out*
Anyway... what are you all doing here? Scared me.
*text: they're not even paying attention*
Ryeon: Club activity.
Do-hun: Club activity? Are you the Horticulture Club?
Ryeon: Well, uh, I guess...?
One Hour Ago
Ryeon: Do I have to?
Han-na: It'd be nice if you did- we're actually also the Horticulture Club.
Ryeon: That's a lie!
I thought we could do whatever we wanted. So I don't have to!
Han-na: But I lost a game I'd nearly won because of you.
Ryeon: Um.
Han-na: You seemed apologetic, so I thought I'd make you feel better.
Ryeon: That's why I said I didn't want to play-
Han-na: Even if there was no particular reason, it's fun. And we can eat what we grow later. Everyone likes it.
*caption: weeding*
Do-hui: Shouldn't we make some support frames?
La-la: Looks like it. Maybe this week?
Do-hui: You guys grow fast, don't you.
Ryeon: ...
I might screw things up.
Han-na: Just take your time.
Ryeon: (I can't believe I agreed so easily... Am I simple-minded?)
Do-hun: (I heard An Min's girlfriend was in a delinquent posse... Does he know?)
(Or should I tell him...)
Mi-na: I'm back! *sfx: splash*
Can't we connect the hose next time? This is too heavy-
?Han-na or La-la: If the faucet works soon... next time I'll go.
Do-hun: (Who is this lovely creature?)
*sfx: thump thump*
*caption/text: a sappy love song*
*caption: Yi Do-hun, 18 years-old
Falls in love for the first time.*
Do-hui: So... why is that still here?
Ryeon: I don't know. I told him to go away but he's just sitting there.
Mi-na: It's just in my head, and he's not really staring at us, right?
La-la: (Another weirdo has appeared.)
Chapter 15: Lunchtime
http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=58526&no=15&weekday=mon
Han-na: This plant needs a support because its leaves and fruit grow bigger than its stem.
*sfx: stab*
You put a stick next to it, making sure not to touch the roots, and then secure the plant to it with a string. In a figure-eight, like this.
If you do this as it grows, the plant will grow along with the support.
How about it, easy, right?
Ryeon: (What am I doing here...?)
Instead of quitting the club with Mi-na, I keep going along with it.
If Min knew, he'd get mad at me.
Han-na: Cha Ryeon! Cha Ryeon~
Can you hear me?
*sfx: tug*
Ryeon: W-What! Stop that! Just say it!
Han-na: You were in another world, that's why.
I'm going to the trouble of explaining and you're tuning out?
Ryeon: I...couldn't help it.
I've never been interested in stuff like this... and I can't tell if it's fun or not, and it's annoying.
Han-na: You're so mean! Look at how your words are hurting Bohemian!
*caption: tomato*
Ryeon: I haven't named it anything!
Do-hui: Forget it, Han-na. Right now that kid's not going to change, no matter what anyone says.
She's being a rebellious teenager.
Ryeon: Do you think you have the right to say that to me? Hmph!
Do-hui: She can't think of what she wants to do on her own, so she wants someone to take her place.
But, if someone does try to get closer to her, she gets mad instead.
She's just a little kid.
Ryeon: What? Who do you think you are? What do you know, anyway!
Do-hui. I know a little. I was like that, too.
Ryeon: ...
Do-hui: Don't I seem very mature today? La-la.
La-la: Stop acting cool next to the fertilizer.
Han-na: Isn't having a little passion a good thing? I get so sad when I look at you, because it's like you're a lonely 80-year-old.
Ryeon: *text: stop crying like you mean it*
Um... that's too... you're really going to hurt my feelings, you know?
La-la: Oh. That excessively passionate guy is here again.
*sfx: gasp gasp*
Do-hun: Where's Mi-na?!
Ryeon: She's not here yet.
Do-hui: Why do you keep coming here.
Aren't you in Basketball Club? Is it okay if you ditch?
Do-hun: It's okay!
I said I'd do twice the work after school!!
Do-hui: Is that a good idea?
Ryeon: Do you like Mi-na that much?
Do-hun: Ah!! Well... how did you know? Am I being a little obvious?
Ryeon: A little? Try a lo-
Do-hun: It's the first time I've felt like this... like, running in a field of flowers? haha
Ryeon: Do you have any plans to be friends with Min?
Do-hun: What? *sfx: spit* Why are you bringing him up?! Ruining my good mood!
Do-hui: Hey, where do you think you're spitting?! Clean that up right now!!
Ryeon: (He doesn't know Min is Mi-na's older brother at all. Well... I guess it doesn't matter?)
Mi-na: Hi everyone! Song-lee and I were eating ice cream so we're a little late.
Do-hun: !!!!
(Mi-na!! You're so cute)
Mi-na to Song-lee: I told you, it's dangerous to read and walk at the same time.
Do-hun: (And she's so nice to younger students.)
*caption: same-year students*
Mi-na: Oh? You're here again? Was there something?
*sfx: startled*
Do-hun: I don't know!!
...! ......!! .........!!!!
(Dumbass!!!! I said the exact opposite of what I meant to say because I was surprised.)
Mi-na: Are you feeling okay?
Do-hun: You!! It has nothing to do with you!!
Mi-na: Obviously.
*sfx: wind blowing*
Do-hun:
(This is the end. That's it. I am the biggest loser in the world.)
Ryeon & Do-hui: (Don't give up...!! You're making us want to cry.)
La-la: Why are you watching this...
*sfx: searching*
Do-hun: (Get-get a hold of yourself, Yi Do-hun! You can't give up like this!)
Um... Th-
Th, this!! I'll give this to you!!!!
*caption: cattails*
Do-hun: I... I picked it 'cause it was pretty but I don't need stuff like this but it'd be a waste to throw it away so if you really want it then... if you don't that's okay
Ryeon: (Why can't you be just honest?)
*sfx: *
*sfx/text: bright smile*
Do-hun: (She- She smiled!!!!)
I'm so glad. She must like it!!
*sfx: loud heartbeats*
Does she know how I feel about her?
Maybe we can go out.
Then will we be able to get married?
I want to have a traditional wedding.
*caption: This is seriously getting over-the-top.*
Mi-na [incapacitated with laughter]: This is killing me!!
Do-hui: Ahahahaha! Look at it! It's perfect!!
Do-hun: Stop laughing... my heartfelt present...
*caption: At this moment, everyone except Ryeon and Do-hun laughed with one heart and one voice. (Dragonball chapter 12 parody).*
Voice: Hey, you there!
The roof is off limits.
I'm going to tell the other teachers.
Seung-eun: ...
Then... I'll tell everyone the English teacher smokes.
English Teacher: Hey, what's wrong with smoking?
Seung-eun: Then I'll tell.
English Teacher: No way.
Fine~ I'll smoke later.
I don't want to harm the health of a student.
Seung-eun: (I don't care.)
English Teacher: Looks like you're being bullied, eating lunch by yourself like this?
Seung-eun: I usually eat by myself.
English Teacher: Then we can eat together.
Seung-eun: You're being a nuisance.
English Teacher: So what? We're all loners here.
Seung-eun: ...I'm not a loner.
English Teacher: I know. I'm not a loner either.
Seung-eun: ...
English Teacher: And I was just joking- don't look at me like that.
What's that? Are you doing homework?
Seung-eun: There was something I wanted to find out. It's not homework.
English Teacher: Ah. Student Council work? Is that it?
Seung-eun: Not really.
It's a personal matter.
For now.

http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=58526&no=16&weekday=mon
7th period break
Min: It's more about control than luck. You have to use skill. Raising your level without skills is nothing more than grinding.
I saw An Min.
Ryeon: Hmph! This isn't a game. It's all about concentration and hand position! The ability to focus till the end without losing power!
Watch, like this... controlling your breathing... hup!!
(Concentrate!)
(Concentrate!)
*sfx: buzz*
(Oh no, a fly.)
*caption: concentration over*
*sfx: break*
Ryeon: Ah...!
Fly: Heh heh heh heh
*sfx: buzz*
Ryeon: Here.
*sfx: smack*
Min: Hey.
Ryeon: Wow, this one looks so delicious!
Min: ...
The girl with yellow hair next to An Min...
Min: I was the one who bought it.
She's definitely the one who...
Ryeon: Then you can eat this...
Min: Gross!
Student: That Cha Ryeon is so annoying!!
Always next to Min...!! I'm so jealous!
Another Student: I want to eat popsicles too...
Fan Club Vision
Min: Hahaha you cutie you're feeling sad now.
Ryeon: Peh, it's not my fault anyway. Boo.
Reality
Min: That's why I said we should buy two
*sfx: pull*
Ryeon: I'm trying to eat here
Student A: They're too close. Are you sure they're not going out?
Student B: Don't even say that! They said they weren't.
Student A: Following him around since the beginning of the year... I can't stand her.
Student B: I think they're spending more time apart because of clubs and Student Council though.
Student A: So what! They're always together in class! Maybe we should take her out.
*sfx: fired up*
Cha Ryeon...
Student: Seung-eun. Seung-eun!!
What's wrong? Spacing out like that.
Seung-eun: Oh, sorry. I was just thinking of something...
If you turn it in like that, it should be fine.
Student: Thanks! You're a lifesaver. All the other kids turned theirs in... that teacher takes off points even if you get one problem wrong, you know?
You're so nice, maybe that's why you're in Student Council.
If I'd known before, I would have nominated you for class rep.
Seung-eun: Well...
Anyway, you better get to class.
Student: Oh yeah! Thanks again! Next time you're at the school store, I'm buying.
Seung-eun: Sure.
*sfx: mutter*
I don't need it.
Even in this tiny space, people are divided into the good and the bad.
So I don't need your meaningless friendship.
Student Council Room
Seung-eun: (Just as I thought...)
(Most of the students are ones with a bad reputation...)
(Not everyone, but looks like every problem child in the school is in this club.)
(True... people like you don't know anything other than sticking together.)
(But... this is still bothering me.)
What made them try something like this?
(One wrong move and things could go wrong...)
Even if it's an official club, there's no teacher who'd be okay with one with all delinquent students.
Or is there something about it they trust?
Still, it seems like they've done a good job hiding it...
And on top of that
(I didn't think An Min's sister would be a member of this club...)
(His girlfriend as well...)
*sfx: tick*
(It looks like they just joined.)
Does An Min know what kind of club they're in?
(I'm sure he wouldn't have stood by if he did know.)
*sfx: slide*
*sfx: step*
Hui-wan: What are you doing,
Seung-eun: ??!!
Hui-wan: Seung-eun?
()
: Bye~!
Min: Whew, it's really hot.
After class, three times a week, there's a Student Council meeting.
(Are the third-years still in class?)
(Should I go to the Student Council room early?)
Two weeks since I joined the Student Council
And two weeks since Ryeon joined a club.
Even though she keep saying she'll quit, seeing her attending meetings, it doesn't seem like she dislikes it.
Ryeon: Be...because they (Mi-na) keep yelling at me to show up...
Min: (It's a good thing for Ryeon.)
If she can pour herself into something, she'll feel better.
Then
What about me?

That's right... I'm an unlucky person.
Why did I have to get caught by this guy...
*sfx: slam*
Seung-eun: ...When did you get here?
*text: nervous*
Hui-wan: Before you arrived. I was about to read a book in the next room.

Seung-eun: (This damn layout.)
Hui-wan: What are you looking at so seriously?
Seung-eun: It's nothing. Forget it.
Hui-wan: You sure you're not doing anything weird?
Seung-eun: Of course not!
And... why don't you give me some space?
Hui-wan: What? I didn't hear you!
Seung-eun: You!!
Hui-wan: Eh, what is there to be embarrassed about? Between the two us.
Seung-eun: What's 'the two of us'?
Hui-wan: It's very special. I realized it when I met you at this school again. Oh, this is fate! Something like that.
Seung-eun: Don't make me laugh! You're full of it.
Asshole.
Hui-wan: Are you still going to the hospital?
Seung-eun: !!!
You!! Bringing that up...!!
*sfx: door sliding very fast*
*sfx: slam*
Seon-jae: Huh?
Oh... sorry, did I interrupt? Feel free to continue
Seung-eun: I'm this close to getting mad so don't joke around.
Hui-wan: Aren't third-years still in class? You're skipping?
Seon-jae: Ah- I had a headache. I'm not skipping.
Hui-wan: Then you should go to the nurse.
Seon-jae: She always tries to make small talk. Makes things worse.
What were you guys doing?
*sfx: creak*
Hui-wan: I was flirting with Seung-eun.
Seon-jae: Oho.
Hui-wan: She was about to fall for me, if only you hadn't come in!
Seung-eun: I was about to kill him... if only you hadn't come in.
Seon-jae: I don't care if you hang out, but don't date.
*sfx: screech*
Hui-wan: Heh, why, jealous? That's so sad.
Seon-jae: Well, actually
The two of you don't seem right together.
Hui-wan: Really? I think it'd work. Nice guy, nice girl. Light and dark. Of course I'm light, and Seung-eun is dark.
Seung-eun: Oh, please. Aren't you even embarrassed?
Seon-jae: That's up to you, too. It's just a difference of style. Wouldn't it be sad if it didn't go anywhere. The two of you are like that.
*sfx: warm*
Hui-wan: Seon-jae, aren't you warm?
Are you the type to care about personality types when you're dating?
Seon-jae: I'm the picture of devotion, so doesn't apply to me, but
You've got problems, too, Hui-wan, but Seung-eun's no catch, either.
She's stubborn, has a temper, doesn't smile... she'd make a terrible girlfriend.
Seung-eun: I'm not going to date anyone, so it doesn't matter.
Hui-wan: Wow! You're only in your teens and you've sworn off love!
Seung-eun: Stop it.
Seon-jae: Anyway, your heart's like a seawall.
Hui-wan: She doesn't share food and doesn't let you borrow money and never says hi when you see her in the halls.
Seon-jae: Do you think she'll eat meals separately even after getting married?
Hui-wan: Ugh... my heart is shriveling up just thinking about it.
Seung-eun: I told you to stop it!!
Seon-jae: Okay, okay, let's cut it out. You know Seung-eun's temper.
Hui-wan: Yes sir.
Whew- good thing we're not going out!
Seung-eun: Who said I'd go out with you?!
Hui-wan: Hahaha!
Seon-jae: Oh you! Hahaha! Stop teasing her.
Hui-wan: Haha
*sfx/text: giggling/laughing; rolling around*
Seon-jae: Do you think she'll be able to get married?

Seon-jae: Oh, it's Min! Good thing you're here.
Min: Shouldn't you be in cla... where are you going?
Seon-jae: Enough about that for now, hurry up and get to the Student Council room! There's an incredible event going on!
Min: Huh?
What's going on? Weird...
(Did something happen there?)
(Wh... what's up with this mess???)

Chapter 18: Strife (1)
http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=58526&no=18&weekday=mon
Voices: That's her. Chae Seung-eun.
Who's that?
You know, that psycho.
Oh yeah! You mean that girl who went crazy during class?
It was so insane. I think she's abnormal. I heard it might be a disease.
Then is she going to a mental hospital? It sucks that she's at our school.
Anyway, it seems like she finally caught Su-mi and her gang's attention. It's been really tense lately.
What? Didn't some girl from Class 3 already transfer because of them not that long ago?
Back then
animosity kept pouring out from somewhere inside me
I couldn't control it.
*sfx: slap*
Su-mi: I think you're more famous than we are, now?
A good friend of mine is in your class. She says she can't concentrate because she has to be in the same class as you. That really upsets me-
Who do you think you are, upsetting people and going around like it's nothing?
*sfx: fling*
Su-mi: Ow!!
Another student: Su-mi!!
*sfx: teeth grinding*
Su-mi: You're crazy, aren't you!!
Teacher: Oh my god!! Look at your face? Who did this?
Seung-eun: Can you just... give me a bandage?
Teacher: Go tell the dean! Those kids should be punished
Seung-eun: It's okay.
I just... fell down the stairs.
I'm not going to get mad over something this stupid.
I'm different from you children.
*sfx: crash*
Hui-wan: Min! I just had a great idea!!
Min: What is it?
Hui-wan: We'll lure Seung-eun to the inside room and lock her in! Then she can't attack us.
Min: We can't leave her alone in that kind of state! Who knows what she'll do?
Hui-wan: That's my point! You're so dense!
Min: What are you talking about?
Hui-wan: Then are you going to fight her?
I bet you could knock her down with one hit. Use a choking hold!
Min: I'm not sure, but I'm starting to see why she would hate you.
Hui-wan: Dammit! Then you think of something!
Min: I've got it!
You're the bait.
*sfx: kick*
Hui-wan: *text: you're awful*
*sfx: smack*
Hui-wan [shaking]: Hi... I talked too much today, didn't I?
You know... I'm really reflecting on what I did today. Would you mind forgiving me...?
Haa... Okay... time to get hit....
*sfx: grab*
Min: ...
Um... what are you supposed to say at a time like this?
Seung-eun: Let go!
Min: Ack!
Hey, listen!!
Hey! Time out! Listen to me!!
Hui-wan: (A dance?)
*text: it's sort of funny*
Min: Hey, stop! What are you going to solve by getting mad? You'll just make things worse!
Seung-eun: Stay out of it, you pervert loser!!
Min: Pervert?
Seung-eun: If you have time to get in my business, worry about your girlfriend instead!!
Hui-wan: Uwak!
*sfx: lightning and thunder*
Hui-wan: *text: I forgot to run away!!*
*text: And she has a different book now
it looks prettier than before... I mean, it's bigger!!*

Seon-jae [gasping]: O...kay! Everyone.... stop.... okay! ...*gasp*...
*sfx: gong*
Min: *sfx: twitch*
She... stopped?
Was that why he went running off?
Seon-jae: Seung-eun, snap out of it!
*sfx: crash*
*sfx: drip*
Min: Huh?!
Seon-jae: Hey...! Someone find me some tissues. Hurry!
Min: ...Okay!
*sfx: doorbells*
Ryeon: I'm off!
Min's Dad: Oh! Hello.
Ryeon: Hello.
*sfx: bow*
Min's Dad: Come on in.
Ryeon: Here's some side dishes... it seemed like you might be running out.
Min's Dad: Thanks again...
Ryeon: What are you doing home?
Min's Dad: We just hired a part-timer. I have to go back in the evening.
Mi-na: It's Ryeon!
*text: yay*
Ryeon: Uwah
Mi-na: Did you come with food? Hooray~ I didn't want to eat Dad's cooking.
Dad: Sorry I'm so bad at housework, Mi-na.
Ryeon: Want some ice cream?
Mi-na: Sure!
Ryeon: Min's not back yet?
Mi-na: I think it's because of Student Council.
Dad: Ryeon, I'm putting the dishes from last time here.
Ryeon: Okay.
I didn't realize Student Council was so much work.
Mi-na: According to Min, they're meeting so much because school's just started, but after the festival, things will slack off.
Ryeon: What's up with that? haha
Mi-na: Which one do you want?
Ryeon: This one! You should eat one, too.
Dad: That's okay.
Mi-na: The rest of it goes in the fridge!
Ryeon: The popsicle's Min's, so save that one.

*sfx: shut*
Seon-jae: *text: the door...*
Hui-wan: What about Seung-eun?
Min: And the nosebleed?
Seon-jae: It's stopped. I told her to rest until she's better.
The two of you are forbidden from going in. Don't want her to get angry again.
Min and Hui-wan: Okay...
Hui-wan: I was really scared... I thought I was gonna die.
Seon-jae: Serves you right.
My headache's gotten worse from all the running. My head's going to split.
Hui-wan: That's what you get.
Min: Speaking of, you really don't look so good.
*sfx: collapse*
Seon-jae: Because I ran. I'll need two days' bed rest.
Hui-wan: Seon-jae's really sickly. He can barely do morning exercises. He sits out during P.E., too.
Min: (That's why he was so out of breath when I saw him.)
*sfx: gong gong gong*
Seon-jae: I borrowed that from the Traditional Music Club, so return it for me...
*text: and that's really loud you're doing that on purposes aren't you*
Min: But... why all this?
Seon-jae: Hm... I had a hard time choosing between another gong and a horn, but this seemed more visually impressive...
+ I'm sure there are standard names in English for the traditional Korean instruments Seon-jae mentions, but I don't know what they would be, so "another gong and horn" it is.

Min: That's not what I meant...
Seon-jae: Once Seung-eun gets angry, nothing gets through to her. My mom said popping a balloon or making a big sound might help her snap out of it.
Min: Then you didn't need to bring a gong. If someone heard this and came by...
Hui-wan: Traditional Music Club's near here, so people will think it's them.
*text: we asked them to cover us*
Min: Does she normally get that angry?
Hui-wan: No way- just when she's with us.
*text: coincidentally*
Min: ...
*text: coincidence?*
Seon-jae: The biggest reason is Kim Hui-wan.
Hui-wan: You teased her, too...
Seon-jae: You think I don't know she gets more on edge when you're around.
Hui-wan: That's a misunderstanding.
Min: *text: misunderstanding?*
Hui-wan: It's not me, it's that Seung-eun's personality is like that. I know because we went to the same middle school.
There's a legend that she didn't make a single friend in those three years!
Min: You don't need to tell me that.
Hui-wan: Plus, she was bullied during her second year...
Min: Bullied?
Hui-wan: Yeah... by a bunch of delinquents.
Something must have happened, because her personality changed a bit.
When I saw her hanging out with other people here, I was really surprised.
Student: *text: after class karaoke go?*
Seung-eun: *text: already has plans*
Hui-wan: To think she must be suppressing her real personality... at least she can take it out on me.
Seon-jae: (Yeah right.) Leave her alone.
Min: Is it okay for me to know all this?
Hui-wan: Well... you got involved today, and if we're going to work together, it's not a bad thing that you know.
Seon-jae: Even if something like this happens again, don't get mad at Seung-eun. It's our fault for teasing her.
*sfx: whimper*
Min: (I don't really care, but...)
*flashback
Seung-eun: Worry about your own girlfriend instead!*
Min: (What did that mean?)
Hui-wan: !
(Looks like she was worried about them after all.)
Maybe she can't let go of the past yet, so she wants to resolve it no matter how.
(I better get things ready, too.)
I did it again.
He saw me like that, so he must think I'm crazy.
Haa...
Three Years Ago
*neighborhood mental health clinic*
I'm not crazy.
Seung-eun: (Saying that would be no use, huh.)
Seung-eun's Mom: She's normally a good girl. Always quiet...
But she keeps causing trouble at school... is there something wrong with her?
Doctor: Haha. You know at that age.
You know those kids who're usually fine, but throw up or get a fever as soon as you tell them to go to school? Those elementary school kids. It's because they get stressed out in an unfamiliar environment.
Your daughter's just more sensitive than other people. She'll adjust. Let's schedule some sessions first.
No matter what happens, just relax, Seung-eun.
If you have the willpower, you can easily fix this kind of situation.
Good luck.
You're so full of shit.

Seung-eun: !

Su-mi: What are you looking at?! Loser...
Student A: I heard Chae Seung-eun's the one who did that to Sumi's cheek?
Student B: She's fighting them instead of being scared. Her loss, Su-mi always has friends with her.
Student A: I'm scared something really is going to happen.
*sfx: crash*
Su-mi: Didn't I tell you not to even look at me?
Seung-eun: Then... stop coming to my class.
Su-mi: Ugh! You're so freaking crazy! Crazy!
You know you might just die if you keep this up?!
Seung-eun: *takes a breath*
Su-mi: Whoa!
You're so slow! hahaha

Seung-eun: Haa... I'm tired.
*cough*
Su-mi: I'm the one who's tired! You think this is funny? Huh?!
Su-mi's Friend: Don't you think we look stupid for dealing with her?
Su-mi: (I don't get it. Usually if you get this beat up, shouldn't you be acting like it?)
(What's up with that stupid expression?)
Su-mi: Hey... take her clothes off.
Su-mi's Friends: Huh?
Isn't that too far? If someone saw
Yeah, we hit people not t- t- take their clothes off...
Su-mi: Don't worry. If we get caught, just say I told you to do it.
You think I'll back down? Let's see how long you can act like that. I'm gonna make you want to die.

You're being bullied, huh?
Seung-eun: What are you looking at. (He's a pervert.)
Hui-wan: Even if you're being bullied, usually they just give you the silent treatment. They must like pushing you around, I guess?
But how come you're acting like nothing happened?
Eh?

Hui-wan: Ah, so you like old comic books. I thought you were making fun of me.
Seung-eun: They're kind of interesting.
Hui-wan: I find comics kind of boring though.
You can keep that.
Seung-eun: Huh? I thought your girlfriend let you borrow it.
Hui-wan: It's fine. She's always looking for things to give me.
*text: I think she thinks of me as a housepet*
If I tell her I want it, she'll let me keep it.
Seung-eun: ...But it's okay. This is out of print so it'd be hard to find again. You can get a feel for the story with one volume.
Hui-wan: Should I ask her to give me the rest of it then?
Seung-eun: What's wrong with you.
Hui-wan: Hey, you're bleeding. Looks like it hurts.
Seung-eun: I'm used to it...
*I'll put some spit on it*
Hui-wan: Being used to it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt... Your teachers don't know?
Seung-eun: No, not at all.
Hui-wan: Maybe they do, but pretend they don't. Teachers aren't usually on students' side, so. It might be like this till you graduate.
Seung-eun: ...

Seung-eun: ...!
Hui-wan: You're the most famous kid in school, so how could I not know?
In addition, I'm a first-year, Seung-eun sunbae~
Seung-eun: Was I being made fun of...?
After that, Seung-eun and Su-mi's strange war continued.
Su-mi: Give me all your money!
Seung-eun: I have fifty cents.
These two still talk from time to time.
Hui-wan: Here's the next volume!
Seung-eun: I told you it's okay, so why do you keep bringing them?
*text: But she still accepts them*
Seung-eun finding out Hui-wan's girlfriend was part of Su-mi's group happens some time later.
A year passed like that.
Su-mi's Friend A: From now on... I'm just going to study.
Su-mi: Stu...dy?
Friend A: Lately my grades are at the bottom of the barrel...
Su-mi: Is that news? You, study? Hahahaha!
Friend A: I had to hide my report card 'cause I messed up on the test so bad!
Friend B: Oh yeah, me too.
Friend C: Me too.
Friend D: Me three.
*text: depression*
Su-mi: What's up with this atmosphere?
Then quit your extracurriculars! I'm in like three.
Friend A: I don't have any. My family's not as rich as yours. It's hard enough going to a private school.
And... my boyfriend said... he doesn't want to go out with a dummy anymore...
He said he'd rather go out with an amoeba. I'm a girl who lost to an amoeba... I want to die.
Su-mi: So that's your real reason. Forget about that loser.
Friend A: I won't hang out with you guys anymore. I'll start studying this year.
Su-mi: Why are you blaming us?!?! What about Chae Seung-eun?!
Friend A: W-why are you so hung up on Chae Seung-eun?
Su-mi: She's like a weed! I want to stamp her out! Pull her out by the roots!
Friend A: What?
Honestly, I don't care about her. I only knew her by name and even with the rumors, it's not like I was affected, you know? There's no reason to get this angry at her!
Friend D: That's true...
Friend C: Yeah.
Friend B: I think so, too.
Su-mi: Shut up! Why are you taking her side?!
Friend A: Plus, there's no one at school who doesn't know we're bullying her. A lot of the teachers know, too.
If it gets more serious, we might go past the point of no return.
Su-mi, don't get us involved because of your personal vendetta.
Su-mi: !
You were all sucking up to me before.
Su-mi: You guys always spent like half my allowance. Now you want to act all nice.
To be honest, I was going to stop at a certain point.
If she hadn't stood up to me...!
Student A: Why do we have to help clean up the gym? The boys already ditched, geez!
*sfx: complain*
Student B: When are we going to get to eat.
*sfx: crash*
*sfx: spill*
Su-mi: Oh, I'm sorry, were you there? If you don't clean up, you won't be able to eat lunch~
Seung-eun: ...
Do you not have eyes in your head? Be more careful next time.
Su-mi: Of course I- won't!! I did that on purpose! On. Pur. Pose!! Anyone could see it was intentional, what's wrong with you?
Seung-eun: Oh, was it?
Su-mi: Do I have to explain everything?!?!
Student A: There they go again.
Student B: Ignore them.
Su-mi: You really have nothing to say to that- What kind of parents do you have? They should have you committed. Why don't you go die? Die!
Seung-eun: Well... your parents seems like they failed at something, too.
Su-mi: Ugh! Can't you shut your mouth?
*sfx: fury*
Ugh! Now you're insulting my parents! I won't forgive you!
Student: Su-mi, cut it out! A teacher's going to notice.
If it gets more serious, you might go past the point of no return.
Su-mi: ...Yeah. I give up... I give up, okay!
Seung-eun: ?
Su-mi: I might lose my friends over something like you. I'm not going to waste my time on you anymore. Truthfully, I'm tired of it, too.
Nothing even gets through to you. You don't get the point.
You understand? You're the one who made it worse. You!
Re~tard! Moron. You're stupid, right?
I'm worried how you'll function in society. Really. The world isn't as nice as I am.
Seung-eun: (Let's just clean this up.)
Su-mi: Yeah... I think this is just what you need.
Face reality already!
Ah... She's a vicious person.
Su-mi: Hey, let's just let the other kids do the rest and go eat lunch.
*text: I'm hungry*
I
*sfx: crash*
*sfx: shatter*
can't stand it anymore.
