Adulthood(어른들만의 사정): Finding Answer

Sometimes I watch a drama and sometimes I don't understand it.

In the drama called "Itaewon Class"

The character used 'adultness(어른스러움)' often

I wanted to try it too, but I couldn't do it 

Because I was afraid that I would be backed up by adults.

I approached Britain.

But he didn't teach me adultness

Because I wasn't mature.

Why?

He just stroked my head.

Next is the Korean Empire.

He was startled and covered my mouth with his hands.

Then he squirreled around 

And lifted his hand from my mouth and laughed 

"Haha, Child, I'll answer that question over time."

Next is Third Reich

Hearing my question, he got up from the sofa

Suddenly he raided and pushed me to the wall.

And when I looked at my surprised expression, stepped back

"I can't do it... sorry," he laughed.

Next is the USSR

To my question, he smoked and asked, 

"Can I take your childlike innocent away for that?"

Child-like innocent...? It is an essential element of my life...

Child-like innocent... I don't want to be stolen... I hurried away.

The place where I ran away is the living room

It is empty because no one is there. I tumbled and sat down on the sofa.

I sighed. Nobody really teaches me.

I was upset, that there is something I still do not know as adultness.

Well... I have a brain development disorder, so it might be a natural result.

Brain development disorders lead to intelligence disorders,

If I have ADHD, I don't know how to afford it,

If I have bipolar disorder, I don't feel successful,

Or I can't listen to the other person carefully.

I lay on the sofa looking at the wall.

It's sad when only I don't know what everyone knows.

I curled up small.

I hate everyone ... (* Tears *)

And over time, the blanket was removed.

Who walked the blanket? The moment I turn my head

G.B, K.E, T.R, USSR, all came out and looked at me.

"...Why do you see me like that?" I asked.

Third said with a smile. "You're getting sulky, my princess~"

"Ahhh" he pulled my cheek. pain.

I got up from the sofa and sat down.

"So, Lutia was curious?" Britain asked.

"Everyone knows but I don't know," I replied.

Then everyone was a little embarrassed. And looked at each other.

"Hey, Lutia. I know what you want to know,

But there's no distinction between adulthood."

Britain said. Then said Third. "We just learned that."

"And the standards of adults are all different.

You guys, our country is different from each other."

Said the Korean Empire,

"People do not have a distinction.

It just depends on gender and time,"

"But we're the same person. 

You just need to know what you don't know, right?" 

The USSR also said.

Ah, yes... then I don't have to rush like that...

"Now, would you like to eat ice cream one by one?"

Korean Empire walked to the freezer.

"Okay, then I taste chocolate."

"I will choose the strawberry flavor."

"I like the green tea Icecream."

"Lutia, what do you want to eat?"

"Uh... I... strawberry would be better?"

Ice cream to share one by one

Well, yes ... I don't have to rush.

I bite the ice cream.

Ice cream melted in my mouth. The taste was sweet.

Well... if everyone is happy, It seems okay...

--- Epilogue ---

Third Reich and USSR bought beef and pork, 

4 bottles of soju and 2 bottles of champagne.

Korean Empire and Britain grilled all the meat 

And placed it on the table on their own ground.

We also placed 5 bowls of rice, 5 sets of cutlery,

And a small dish with soy sauce and miso sauce.

The dinner started, four men started a conversation.

I just picked the pork baked with chopsticks and dip it in soy sauce.

At that time, Third took my glass and went 

And poured some champagne into it.

"I know you don't like alcohol, but this is 

The least alcoholic champagne, so it's okay to drink a little."

And he gave me a cup of champagne. 

I tasted the champagne a little with 50% courage and 50% fear.

"....!"

The taste of champagne was sweet. 

And at the same time, it was full of bitter taste.

It wasn't bad though.

I ate meat with champagne.

After the meal is over and the table is being cleaned up

"Oh, you're all done, Lutia"

Korean Empire found my empty cup.

Said the USSR. "Is she now a child to an adult?"

Third Reich continued.

"Unfortunately, I could have picked you up

If you were a little more child."

Britain stroked my head.

"Congratulations on becoming a real adult now, Lutia."
