unknown person: WHAT IS THIS?

[there was a sudden bang. it sounded like something dropped.]

unknown person: so you've been eating behind my back.

unknown person: do you know how disappointed i am in you? 

[there was silence for a few seconds. someone then scoffed and continued to talk.]

unknown person: i have to go around and lie to all of our neighbors.

unknown person: i have to tell them how great of a child you are.

unknown person: then i have to listen to stories about their child in envy.

[there was another silence. at this point, jeongguk could hear a pin drop. then he heard a loud noise. jeongguk's eyes got bigger as he realized that person was slapping another.]

unknown person: anna.

[jeongguk had tears streaming down his face, but failed to notice.]

unknown person: listen to me.

unknown person: look up.

unknown person: tsk. you won't even look up. you know you're ugly.

unknown person: you made a good choice. to hide your face. 

unknown person: i'm helping you, you know. you probably don't even understand what i'm saying.

unknown person: if you would just listen to me. you would be more skinny.

unknown person: don't think of it as a punishment, you know i love you.

unknown person: you can be pretty and skinny. you will fit everyone's beauty standards. 

unknown person: stop eating this stupid tteokbokki.

anna always believed she was ugly and fat.

hurt her more.
