Part 2 Chapter 52 - Isolation (4)
This entire chapter is a flashback~

Sul looks around and is relieved that Nam Joo Yeon isn't here. She was very stressed due to Young Gon's stalking during the break, and now, she's frustrated that Jung's in her group. The group assignment is on the global marketing of domestic comapnies. They propose ideas, but none seem suitable. Sul proposes 'company B' as a scenario just as Jung is about to propose the same thing. Everybody agrees to her idea, even Jung. Jung explains that in a report, it said that company B was targeting the Russian market after success in the Chinese market. Sul then intervenes, saying that she read the same report, and that recently, there was some conflict with the Russian government, so the idea of entering the Russian market was canceled. Kyung Hwan asks how she knows this, and she responds that she's taking another class where she had to analyse the SWOT* of company B's products, so she just happened to stumble upon that report. Kyung Hwan is excited because it seems that Sul already a lot of research on the topic, and Jung adds on, saying that they should use Sul's research for the assignment. He asks if Sul would be able to analyse and organize the research that pertains to global marketing. Everybody in the group agrees and seems glad about this. She ends up saying yes. Jung says: "Yeah. You even have the latest data, you work really hard. If you can just organize the research it'd be a great help for our project. Thanks." Sul isn't happy with the outcome, but she nevertheless agrees. Kyung Hwan is extremely happy, and says that they should go get something to drink.

At dinner, Sul is extremely angry - she is left to do all this work by herself. She regrets that she brought this topic up, and thinks that they should share the work. Everybody in the group is extremely thankful to Sul. She looks over to Jung, and realizes that she has a lot to do other than this assignment. One of the members orders even more food, and Sul is shocked, because this is a pricey restaurant.

Jung is talking to Kyung Hwan, and she calls him out. He doesn't notice her until she puts some money down on the table. Jung looks surprised, and Sul is surprised as well, and wonders if she has ever seen or talked to Jung so upclose. She wonder if she has in the past. She jumps and then explains that she has part time work to do, so she'll just leave her portion of the bill for the others. Jung looks confused, and Kyung Hwan says that Jung's buying. Sul looks confused as well, and she mumbles, "I..is that so? But it's a group meeting... so why would he pay all by himself..." Kyung Hwan mumbles that things like this happen. She then laughs, takes the money back, and leaves. She runs, and thinks that she has never hung out with them, so she doesn't understand how this whole 'payment' process works.

Sul works extremely hard on the assignment, working everywhere (even the subway, where people admire her for her extreme dedication to her studies - one man even tears up at her hard work), and she even gets into the entire incident with the drunk old lady.

After class, Bo Ra texts Sul to come out. The other students are discussing what to do for the school festival. Everybody votes for a pub, like every year. Sul tries to walk away, but she ends up suggesting renting an actual pub and scheduling a school band for a performance at the pub. Some people agree with her opinion, but Jung vetos it, pointing out several problems with money and locations. Sul tries to argue for her suggestion, but Jung strikes it down. Kyung Hwan tries to stop Jung's criticisms, but Sang Chul laughs, saying that the business management department has such passion. Jung wonders if Sul will be angry again and looks up, but Sul just replies, "Yes. It seems like I was too hasty and didn't think this through." She leaves.

After she leaves, Kyung Hwan tells Jung that he sort of likes Sul's idea, and that there was no need for Jung to crush her idea so mercilessly. He even says that he knows somebody who owns a bar nearby.

As Sul leaves, she thinks to herself, "I don't care what happens now. This is all bothersome."

*SWOT -

Quoting She-Rah on this.

And script was changed slightly. Tinkle found a small part of the text I missed!

LOL you posted the summary just after I finished looking at today's chapter. I was soooo anxious to read the summary too. xD

And dang, you would think Jung's opinion of Sul would've changed after she offered to pay her share of the meal (he certainly appeared shocked enough) but he seemed more confrontational than EVER. I'm surprised he was openly negative to Sul in front of a large group of people. WHAT IS GOING ON IN THAT HEAD OF HIS.
Did he think Sul was mocking him or something?

Man, if that kid was a fortune cookie. His fortune would be in invisible ink. And Swedish.

I can help in the SWOT area, I took a marketing class last year for an elective. A SWOT analysis stands for Strengths and Weakness and and external Opportunities and Threats. The essence of a situation is taking stock of a firm or product. While looking at the external factors and trends that might affect said firm or stock.

Great chapter Sul was out to impress, probably not intentionally though.

Hurrah
Thanks so much Yuko! I'm excited by all this background on Jund and Sul's relationship.


This line totally killed me by the way, a perfect Jung comparison.

My first post here!

I think Jung was harsh on Sul about the pub idea because he was secretly annoyed that she stole the limelight from him in the group discussion. Usually people are hanging on to every word he says and all their praise is reserved for him.

Jung just keep getting weirder and weirder....

P/S Thanks to yuko for the summaries....it sounds kinda lame just to say 'thanks' but I just can't express the extent of my gratitude enough. For me, no summaries means no CiTT! Soonki should be grateful to you as well!

In the other discussion board, everyone was saying how Jung perception of Sul must have been crazy in this chapter. After reading your summary Yuko, it turns out that this chapter shows sul's point of view of how finicky and sneaky Jung really is. It was convenient for Jung to just hand over the responsibilty to Sul since he knew she was a hardworking student and the knowledge of their assignment, and that he really didn't care of Sul's opinion on the matter of the school festival. It's like he really wants to piss sul off and make her life a bit harder, while being discrete about everything. This chapter doesn't show about Sul's uncertainties about Jung personailty, it's more about her being annoyed of how she is being treated by Jung. We still need more information about Jung to make bigger conclusions. Though my question is about this flash back and whats written here:

Right after the incident with the old lady, Jung approaches Sul, when she's getting a drink. Jung was a bit "normal" (However you describe creepy Jung as) and was asking about her scar, which he knew before hand . But with the scene about picking the school festival idea, he was giving her the cold shoulder to her and shooting down her idea. Basically after the incident with the lady, Jung was "normal" to her, and now we come to this scene with the school festival and Jung is being an asshole. Just confused with the events in order of Jung's personality, since it's a big leap of personality appearence that Jung shows Sul. So just a bit confused about it

Thank yoooou! *__* Wow, what an intense chapter. I'm in the middle of a trip, so I'll comment more on it later.

Wyntar, that's a Great analysis of the chapter! From Sul's POV, it really did seem as though Jung was making her more and more tired. But then what shifted Jung's POV? Looking at the raws, it seemed as though he may have changed the opinion after she tried to pay for her own part, but then he shot down her festival proposal.

Was it when he found out that Nam Joo Yeon was giving Sul a hard time? Did he somehow think that That was what made Sul grumpy and tired? (while conveniently forgetting his own role, like pushing all the work onto her?)

@yuko: Yup yup yup thanks for the summaries

If it's not too much trouble,
Seol is thinking this when she gets close to Jung:
"이렇게 가까이서 보는 건... 처음... 은(?)아닌가"

Does it translate to:
"Seeing him from this close...it's the first time...or not?"

@wyntar: I love your analysis. You seem to ask the right questions XD


yup yup yup

I aim to please. ;p
The guy really is hard to pin down. I know Soonkki said that he just has an "unusual" personality, but I can't help but think that he is seriously unpredictable. Though it appears he sees Sul in the same way. Looking back, he always seems almost fascinated by her reactions to things.


Oh wow, I didn't think of that.
I assumed Jung's "revenge" ended when he manipulated the conversation so that Sul ended up doing all the work, but I guess that just didn't cut it. Thinking about it, I suppose (as you say) that Jung was annoyed that someone he definitely disliked was getting the admiration of the peers HE generally is fawned over by. Still, can't help but wonder what was going on in his head when Sul gave him that money. His face was priceless. Oh if I was a fly on that wall. And could speak Korean.

I get the feeling that Jung who have always manipulated by guessing how people will react if he says or do things
in a certain kind of way. But then he meets Sul that never behave like he think she will. So he gets annoyed thinking
that she does it on purpose to look good in front of others and make him look stupid. But then slowly he starts to apreciate it.
He probably dont know why yet, just that he likes to be around her. She is the first person that tells him what she thinks instead
of what she thinks he want to hear.

And then take this from a Swede. Chinese or Russian, is much harder languages
