1. I actually didn't like you very much in the beginning, erae.
2. There are two types of people that I hate.
3. The first is perfectionists.
4. The second, hard workers.
5. People who internalize every conflict...
6. ...and think that they can change everything if they work hard enough.
7. Those who have, so far, maintained a perfect world for themselves with that method.
8. Whenever I saw it in someone else, it was always painful to watch.
9. I hated how risky it looked...
10. ...because that was how I fell apart.
Načítání…Načítání…
1. "Alright then, I'll let you know the time for our first lesson."
2. "We'll talk about it later. I'll be leaving now."
3. "Ah, just a second..."
4. "Hm?"
5. "I've never done anything like this, so..."
6. "I have no idea how I should address you. What would you prefer?"
7. "Whatever you'd like to call me is fine."
8. "You can call me unnie or anything else you're comfortable with."
9. "Then...doctor? Since it's written here."
10. "Huh?... But that's a bit embarrassing..."
11. "Then I'll see you next time, doctor."
Načítání…Načítání…
1. We first met by coincidence,
2. And I was still
3. "I guess she doesn't listen to other people."
4. A pessimistic person then.
7. "Then you have to come to the next after party."
8. "You can't miss out next time, okay?"
10. "Doctor, you used to do ballet? I had no idea."
11. "That's amazing."
1. "I switched over to theory, so it's meaningless. Nothing amazing either."
2. "I graduated early because I didn't want to hear people say that students who switch over all go astray."
3. "And after I graduated, I got an office job at an art foundation right away, as if I was being chased by something."
4. "The work was suffocating, so I just saved up the money and quit. Without having any plan."
5. "I feel like I'm still only eighteen or nineteen..."
6. "After I quit ballet, every moment that passed by felt like such a short time to me."
7. "When I opened my eyes, 8 years had gone by."
8. "As if I had just woken up after a long sleep."
9. "It's the first time I'm talking to someone else about this."
1. I lived a life as a rising ballet star with a promising future.
2. I started ballet when I was seven.
3. Fifteen hours a day, every day, for 10 years.
4. 50,000 hours of practice...
5. ...that's all I remember from my childhood.
6. Many complemented my talent and efforts,
7. And in a world where no one prevented me from exerting myself...
1. ...I didn't realize the fact that 'promising' simply referred to a possibility.
2. "You do ballet, right? It seems that you've had a stress fracture in your foot and ankle for a while now."
3. "You hurt your knee too. And you just endured it all."
4. "Yes."
5. "That's what caused the continuous pressure in your thigh. When is the concours again?"
6. "It's already next week..."
7. "People who do ballet tend to not take thigh injuries seriously and think that it'll be fine after a bit of rest..."
8. "...but in this case, you've ignored a rupture and worked yourself too hard."
9. "A third degree strain means it's a complete rupture."
10. "Without surgery, it'll be difficult for you to go on with a normal lifestyle, not to mention ballet."
1. "Then what about ballet?"
2. "You have to quit. Regardless of the surgery."
3. "I've never thought of something like that..."
4. "You'll have to, from now on."
5. "Learn how to simply live, without any effort."
6. "And leave the life of overworking yourself."
1. Gosh, this is so much trouble...
2. I really hate spending energy needlessly.
3. We just started and she already hates this and that.
4. "Erae."
5. "I don't get it. Wouldn't it be nice if you just went with it?"
6. "It doesn't always have to be a struggle for it to be a valuable experience, right? Why are you so serious about everything?"
1. "Everything?"
2. "Honestly, erae, this may be too early for you."
4. "You don't seem like you want to date men at all, you know? I actually think that you've never wanted to."
5. "You're right. I've never really wanted to date that badly."
6. "I'm not trying to date because I'm desperate."
7. "Then what is it that you want?"
8. "There must be a reason for you to be spending money on this."
9. "It's because I can vaguely tell that I have a problem."
10. "Whether it's important or not, I've started to notice it, so..."
11. "...I want to try my best to get rid of it. It's only natural."
1. "That's why I'm spending the money. What were the other clients like?"
2. "They just want to date, that's all."
3. "And they spend the money so that they don't have to try so hard."
4. "So that it's easier."
5. "..."
6. "You want life to be perfect, don't you, erae?"
7. "It's more that I want to live diligently."
8. "I don't have to live life in a way that I don't like."
9. "What happens if you live by that decision and come across a problem you can't change with your efforts? What then?"
1. "It could be painful. And there could be things you can't do no matter how hard you try."
2. "I'm not sure. But I don't think I'll give up."
3. I really don't like her.
4. I can't tell if she gets on my nerve or if she just bothers me.
1. What is she to me anyway? Why am I thinking about her so much?
2. "Our cha yoon here..."
3. "...is a diligent ballerina who works harder than anyone else."
4. "She's never missed practice, even when she was sick."
5. "A living proof that hard work is also a talent."
6. "It's no wonder that she's won every concours!"
7. "The amount of practice never betrays the result. Never."
1. "You have to understand, a stress fracture is not like a sprain or a dislocation."
2. "It means that you've overused your body to the point that it couldn't endure anymore."
3. "Because you kept repeating difficult movements that were beyond your limits..."
4. "...your bones broke down because they could no longer endure it."
5. "Do you understand? You just had to work less harder."
6. "If you did that and gain the same results, then that's talent."
7. "How annoying."
8. "I put it behind me a long time ago..."
9. I kept thinking about you even when I would lie down to sleep.
10. Everything about your personality was troublesome,
1. And you resembled everything I had to let go of like a mirror.
2. So I thought I hated you, but...
3. ...I was wrong.
4. It would've been easier if I didn't know...
5. "I'm a close unnie of hers. I'll take her with me."
6. But it wasn't that I hated you.
7. "Oh and don't you ever call her at this time of day again."
1. I was concerned.
2. "Ugh, she reeks of alcohol..."
3. "...and I was just going to bring her home and leave right away..."
4. "Haa..."
