1. "I don't think there's anything lacking about you."
2. "Even if you had way more tutors,"
3. "If you weren't putting in the effort yourself,"
1. "There's no way you'd be getting grades like this."
2. "But with grades like this, it's still hard to get into s university."
1. "That's why my sister asked you to help me..."
1. "With your current grades, yeah, you won't make it."
2. "But there's still time."
1. "As long as you don't give up from now on and push yourself a bit more,"
1. "I really think you're absolutely capable of getting into s university."
2. "Rea..."
1. "Really?"
2. "Of course it's true."
3. "Don't let my looks fool you, I'm a professor at s university."
1. "I'll help you so you can focus on studying."
2. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
3. "It's not like I can give you anything like my sister can..."
1. "..."
2. "I just..."
2. "See you as my own daughter."
1. "Uh, is that a bit too much?"
2. "Sorry."
1. "No..."
2. "I'm really happy..."
1. "..."
2. "Let's work hard together"
1. "Together."
1. "Sera."
2. After that,
3. "Professor~ I'm here!"
1. Whenever sera had free time, she’d come over to my place.
1. "So much happened today!!"
2. "Yeah?"
3. Usually she'd tell me about the stuff that happened at school,
1. Or I'd teach her study tips...
1. Sera really wasn't lacking in ability,
2. "Sorry, this is all I have to eat at home."
1. She just hadn't met the right mentor yet...
2. "This is so good!"
1. "You're saying sera's grades have improved a lot?"
2. "Yeah."
1. "At this rate, even without my help, she should be able to get into s university."
2. "You keep saying"
1. "You keep saying she's not capable,"
2. "But she's actually very smart."
3. "Sera..."
1. "Professor hong,"
2. "Just focus on doing what I told you to do."
1. "The only reason you became a tenured professor"
1. "Became a tenured professor at s university at such a young age"
2. "Is because you've only ever done what the suseong group told you to do,"
1. "I'm sure you're well aware of that."
2. "How unusual"
1. "Hong mihyang!"
5. "I got into s university!"
6. "It's all thanks to you!"
4. "How is it my doing? This is the result of your hard work..."
1. "Hey, can I ask you something?"
1. "Once I start college, can I keep staying with you?"
1. "Yeah,"
2. "I'll stay by your side."
1. "..."
1. Is it really okay for me to go in like this?
1. Sera's probably going to feel awkward... So I originally wanted to avoid going in if I could...
1. But I never thought she'd actually be going hungry...
2. "Ugh, I'm so angry."
1. I'd heard things were rough for her lately, but I didn't know it was this bad...
2. Even though sera told me not to act close with her,
3. It should be okay to just bring her some snacks, right?
2. "I mean, I've always treated the folks in the department office to food anyway."
1. "Oh, professor hong,"
3. "Hello. What brings you here?"
1. "I bought sandwiches and coffee,"
2. "You can have some when you get hungry."
3. "Professor!"
1. "Thank you for always taking such good care of us!"
1. "Then I'll get going."
1. "Bye~ thanks for the snacks."
2. "Professor hong is seriously so nice and kind~"
2. "There aren't many professors who look out for us like this~"
1. "Sera, hurry and grab a sandwich too."
3. "I'm on a diet! I'm good!"
1. "You're already so skinny and you still want to diet?!"
2. That fake saint hong mihyang definitely knows what I'm going through and is doing this on purpose!
3. You really think I'd be tempted by something like that?
4. "I'm only giving it to you 'cause I feel bad for you~"
1. "Just hang in there! Payday's coming up anyway."
1. Once I get paid, I won't have to starve anymore!
3. After I get my paycheck, I won't have to worry about what I want to eat or buy...!
1. "No, no!"
2. "Didn't I say that money was for helping joohee!"
1. How can I already be thinking about splurging it?!
1. "How long do I have to keep..."
1. "How long do I have to keep living like this..."
1. "I'm full."
2. Having nothing I have to do after work is
3. My one last tiny happiness...
1. Even though it's not like there's much I can do anyway...
2. The screen on my phone's cracked, I can't even see the display anymore.
1. "Um, sera..."
2. "Yeah?"
1. "Do you know when we get paid?"
1. "No idea, probably in a few days~"
2. "Let me know the exact date,"
1. "'cause I'm already in the red..."
2. "This month's rent..."
1. "Ugh, I've had it!!!"
2. "I already told you! I told you I'll pay you as soon as I get it!"
1. "Do you not trust me or what?!"
2. "I'm really trying my best here!"
1. I've been holding back from
1. "I've been holding back from eating what I want, drinking what I want, going out to have fun, just staying cooped up at home,"
2. "So why are you of all people pushing me too?!"
