Color Rush (컬러러쉬) - English Translation

Being a Mono

"Where is the smoking area?"

My aunt took the electric cigarette out from the inner pocket of her jacket. The she looked around the school for no apparent reason.

"How would I know?"

"You don't smoke?"

"Asking high school students if they smoke, this is not the attitude that an adult should have."

"You can only be called an adult when you get what you really want."

With that my aunt goes to the convenience store just across the street and started smoking her electronic cigarette. I really cannot understand how she likes the taste of it.

"Why do I have to transfer to another school?"

"Do you want to stay in a place where you have no friends? It's better to start in a new place again."

"Is it like that, really?"

"I was going to move anyway. This time I disturbed the association and they said they will kill me."

This was one of the difficulties with my aunt's job. She has a strong sense of justice. Even though she is cunning and very clever, it all turned into a nightmare. It was good that she even got a job as a PD at a broadcasting station.

The only problem is that my aunt was willing to enter the inside information disclosure column. As the column was exposed in many places, it often began to receive many death threats. When my mother was still with us, my aunt lived like a migratory bird, she came to live with us from time to time. However, since the day my mother disappeared, my aunt started living with me, because I was still a minor. As a consequence, threats began to become more specific and my aunt's performance became more better at acting.

"Can't you just ask to move on to another show?"

"Hey, my hobby since I was very young has been to punch the kids in the mouth and make them lose their teeth. Now that I'm an adult isn't it even more fun to punch and break the front teeth of those bastards?"

"Still."

I would like to say that it was too dangerous for a woman to do something like this, but I swallowed my words. Before, my aunt could only use a stun gun to make the person fall unconscious, or even hit the person on the shoulder and break it. Even though she still had all that youthful vigor, it was hard to deal with today's sinister society.

"It is very dangerous."

"You are in more danger than me. How are you going to live in this rough world with such a pretty face?"

"I'm not pretty."

"I can't stand how much you look like my sister, when I told her how she had survived with such a beautiful face she also told me that she was not beautiful. However, when she met your father, she kept asking me all the time – Am I beautiful?"

"I do not know what beauty is."

Anyway, mom, dad and aunt are my family, so they kept saying that I am beautiful. But some people said that my face was beautiful or that I used my beauty for dirty things, just to provoke me. Many girls even thought that I was very beautiful and said that it was bad for their hearts how pretty I was. I do not get very close to these people; it is too tiring.

In my opinion all you can be is just an individual and nothing more. I am happy that my double lids are not like my mother's and my aunts are much thinner. Even though this is it not bad, I do not think they are attractive either.

"I said I'd transfer you because we are moving anyway. This time you will go to a school just for boys."

"Why?"
