Chapter 27 to 33 Translations of the Original Story


Chapter 27 to 33 Translations of the Original Story

Hello people, I am omersermet. I don't know how to start writing this thread but I have a lot of things to say.
You can skip these and go to the Chapter 27 translation. It is at the ending of the post :)

I saw this story 1 year ago, after I watched My Sassy Girl, and I loved it. I was reading it everyday, properly. I had the copy of the translations on paper. I was reading it even in the bus, when going to university from my hometown. After bumfromkorea's translations I saw kaleidoscopeyes' translation, but he hadn’t translated all chapters too, there were still 7 chapters to translate, and nobody was saying a word. I write a reply to the original thread saying Koreans who read this should translate the rest, but there was still no sound of translation. I don't know if it was the instinct to finish things inside me but I felt a little responsible to finish translations. I would love to do it. It was a hobby to read them, but I didn't know any Korean, so what should I do?
I had a little debate inside my brain. I thought about finishing the translations. And I would love to do that. And I decided to do that.
I thought about finding Korean friends online, and ask them to translate 1 chapter. In that way, I would translate 7 chapters by finding 7 friends. I registered to Interpals.net and find some friends there, I don't know if it's the shyness of Korean people but none of them accepted to do that. And I also had a life to move on. I decided to let this to time. And see what happens.

I had lots of friends from all over the world. Not just Korean. They are from China, Iran, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan... all over the world. We are still talking with some of them. It has been a nice experience, but I was always remembering about the story when I had a new friend, I was asking to Koreans and they were saying "I am busy", "My English is not good". But one of the first friends I had said "OK, might be". She was in high-school. She was struggling with exams and getting ready to enter a university. I didn't want to remind that to her again and we became friends. We even sent snail mails each other :D, it was cool . And couple of days ago she said she is not studying for university exam, she was going to enter a foreign university and she needed to study English for it.
And yes, I asked her again to translate it. She said “OK”. She sent me the translation in 1 hour. And finally, I was ready to start this thread...

Right now, looking 1 year back, it was such a nice experience. Considering ‘1 chapter per year’ translation speed, it is not a good progress :D but at least with this way this thread which keeps going since 2006 might come to an end.

Beyond all this, you don’t have to read or appreciate any of the things I wrote. I just wrote this to express myself. Thanks for reading anyway. And enjoy reading the new chapter and don’t forget to reply, I will try to make other chapters translated as soon as possible, thanks to all friends who have helped me and will help :).

I don’t have internet in my house right now. I will go to my friends’ and upload this from there. So if you are reading this, I succeeded to start this thread in 27th July, the 13th anniversary of the movie :)



Chapter 27 (translated by Yehjee)

Rrrrrrr.. (Telephone ringing)

Gyeon woo : Hello?

She : Where are you?

G : Home.

S : I am going to go to drivers' lesson, go with me.

G : I don’t want to.

S : You wanna die?

G : Why do you always threaten to kill me? I can say a word too then.

S : What? What do you wanna say?

G : Where should I go? -_-

So I went to drivers' lesson with her as usual. And there was the teacher turning his face away from me. And then he asked me something,

Teacher : Do you have a driver's license?

G : Me? Nope.

T : Really?

And then he whispered her something after confirming that I didn’t have a driver's license. And she came to me and said,

S : Hey, Gyeonwoo. He said he can teach you how to drive too.

OH YESS ! It must be true that he's teaching me how to drive coz I'm handsome. (Sorry)
Anyway it was so great to learn driving in free of charge because it costs too much to learn driving these days !!
Finally it was time for her to get into the car. I was just standing alone. But.. she called me fastening her seat belt.

S : Gyeonwoo, come quickly !

I became uneasy......

S : What are you doing? Get into the car right now!

Urrrrrgh.. it wasn’t that he was teaching me how to drive but meant that just pick up learning in the back seat of the car. What the hell....
Isn’t this illegal? It could not be possible for 'civilian' not a teacher to take the car while unlicensed person was driving.
Just watching her driving from outside seemed so risky but.. you mean I get in to that car?!
I am not crazy!
I didn’t wanna live that long but this would send me to an early grave.
I asked for help while eye-contacting with the teacher.

G : ('^^) (You're kidding, right?)

T : (-_*;) (Get into the car right now!)

S : (-_*;) (Get into the car right now!)

He was in the same side of her..

G : I don’t wanna learn how to drive..

T : Don’t hesitate, just come in. That car in the back is waiting for us.

S : Hurry!

G : T_T

I sat on the back seat. There were no seat belts.. omg
Why are there no seat belts in the back seat! I grabbed the handle on the window with my two hands. Very strongly.
I straighten my legs and fixed them on the front seat.
The teacher told her to start the engine and she did. And then he explained her something like how to use gear but I couldn’t hear them. I could've almost dead.
The car started to move slowly and my face took on a set expression.
I prayed to God.

'I’m sorry, I am so sorry!!!!! Send help please'

Kkeeeeeeeeek (screeching sound)

T : Ahhhhhhhhhhhhk !!!

G : Aaahhhhhhhhkkkk !!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhk !

S : Oh my god.

She raised the speed and stopped suddenly.

S : Oh, I’m sorry.

T : What the hell are you doing?!

G : Hey, are you crazy??

S : You be quiet.

G : Okay..

But I was alive because I was holding the handle very very strongly. But I feel stiff in the backside of the neck.
Anyway the game of the death was finally over.

T : Hey, don’t come to the lesson anymore if you are gonna do like this next time too. I'll give you a refund.

S : Sorry, sir.

G : Please give us a refund, please !

I was so tired that just fell asleep when I got back home.
And then, next morning I woke up and noticed that my neck didn't move.

What the heck!! I called her.

G : Hey you !! My neck is not moving 'cause....

S : You're going to the lesson with me today, right?

G : ...... -_- I shouldn't have called her.

On the way of meeting her, I dropped by the pharmacy and put a medicated patch on my neck.
She came noticing me and.. she had something white on her neck too.
Oh, yes. There was also a patch on her neck !!! Oh yeah. HAHA

G : What's that on your neck?

S : What about yours?

G : Are you really asking me?

S : Hahaha

And then we went to the drivers' lesson together. The teacher was there as usual.

G&S : Hi !

T : ...............

S : -_-;

G : What's that on your neck ?? No way!

Yes it was. He had a patch on this neck too.
After that day, we became a 'patch trio'....

Patch trio............................


End !!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks.
(Again, Thanks in advance for the next chapters. :P)

reply

Finally :), thanks for the reply. I nearly started to think nobody was reading it.
I will try to make other episodes translated as soon as I have some time, but I think this thread needs more readers. Every reader should leave their opinions. You can also leave next chapter's translation here.
Thanks everybody :)

reply

i'm pretty sure there are other unregistered readers too
anyway huge thanks for taking over my sassy girl and thanks for the soon to come releases too :p

reply

Thank you mate :), love you all.
Waiting for your opinions and translations people!

reply

I registered just to tell you I'm here. I watched the movie last night with my girlfriend. She wasnt as moved as I was and I saw the translations last night I spent all day reading them. I noticed on the dates that these translations started years ago and they've continued until now. Thank you for continuing this and please keep going. I honestly cant believe the translation of chapter 27 was only 4 days ago. Thanks for this.

reply

Guys, thanks for your replies, I really want to translate next chapters but my university has started today and Koreans I ask keep saying "No" :D
nathankunn, yeah I also think that this a movie which guys will like more. And you can see it in 'User ratings' section. Male rating average: 8.3, Female rating average: 7.9

You can also check the photo of the real girl thread from that link if you haven't already read it.
Thanks for help people. Waiting for your support!

reply

Do you have the original korean text? I might be able to help.

reply

Of course I do! It's in this post: www.imdb.com/title/tt0293715/board/nest/55549493?d=55549493#55549493
I actually created a new thread because that thread was overloading. It is the original thread. And we all thank to the mysterious member 'kimnext', I am a little suspicious that he is Kim Ho-sik in fact :D.
It would be great to hear the next episode from you Sjeep!

reply

Oh I forgot that I posted in this thread, anyways I took some time to translate chapter 28. Years ago I was reading BFK's translations and it feels kind of weird to be able to contribute now hehe.

Disclaimer: I can't guarantee a perfect translation, but I figured since no one else is translating you might be interested in my less than perfect translation.

---------------------------------------------------

Chapter 28

I feel quite absent-minded today. Just spacing out, staring at a point in the distance. I can’t even seem pay attention to my mother when she is talking to me.

Mother: Don’t just sit on your ass in your room, go out and do something!

Gyeon-woo: Huh? What about my ass?
(The original joke here is that ‘corner of the room’ and ‘fart’ sounds similar in Korean)

M: Go out!! -_-;

Why am I being so absent-minded? She contacted me yesterday….
She’s contacting me every day but is it something new?
Indeed it is daily contact!!! But this time it is somewhat different?

She: Gyeon-wooya~ My dad asked me to bring you to our home.

G: Ugh~! Your father asked me? To your home? Why?

S: I don’t know. Anyways just come once.

G: When?

S: How about the day after tomorrow? Do you have time?

G: Well… of course I have time… but your father… what’s the matter….

Her father asked me to go to their home. What is going on? -_-;;
We have met once already. Some time ago nearby her house I was fighting with three thugs and then!!!!!.....-_-;;;
Oh! Right! To be truthful, she was the one who got rid of the thugs and then… sigh!
We met each other at the police station. That was a really bad first impression, since he is asking to see me again it seems like he has something he wants to say to me.
It is such a burden to meet parents. Of course if I and she were getting married I should meet her parents, but I don’t think we are in that situation now?

‘Why are you asking me to come?’ - Even if I think like this, I can’t do anything about it.
So I should just get rid of these thoughts!!!!! But how do I do that???

Girl's Father: So… can you take responsibility for our daughter?

G: ......

F: Then graduate and hurry up and get married.

G: ......

F: Why do you have nothing to say?

G: Cause I don’t want to marry her? I want to live a free life..-_-;;

I was imagining…. hahahaha…. a scenario like this, I can’t do anything right…^^;
Just decided to live my life comfortably.
Really, I am not writing this to show off. Truly, for my entire 25 years I’ve just spent my time as a carefree and lazy person.

So I feel very awkward when someone asks me about dreams and goals.

Among my friends there’s one guy who had a dream to become a doctor like Benjamin W. Lee, went to graduate school in the US, studied hard and have already started a respectable venture company and became a CEO.

It is not the only one either. Personally, in middle school I was just playing around… hehe… having fun is the most important, right? Don’t believe me? Alright fine. -_-;;

If you look at middle and high schools, aren’t they very similar to violent gangs? A school is like a criminal organization.
There’s a lot of talk of that being a big issue these days, but certainly it is not a problem that only exists now. When I was in middle school, 10 years ago, it was like that too.

It was not because I was a bully that I could live carefree; somehow my seniors looked after me and that gave me a lot of benefits when I was in school.

I was actually quite gentle(-_-;) Naïve(?) -_-.v <== A humble V

In the entire school there wasn’t a single kid who ever touched me.

If you messed with me then you would also get in trouble with my seniors……. Haha…
So it was because I had a lot of thug-like friends.
One of those guys is now a high-level manager. Sometimes I meet him in the street and every time he’s like this:

“Gyeon-wooya come and hang out!! We always get a lot of girls!! I’ll treat you all night! Come for sure!!”

He’s really a lifesaving friend. -_-;;;

So far I haven’t joined him, but when will I be able to go? Huhuhuhu…

Oh… Why am I talking about my friend??? -_-;;;
Right~ Dreams!!!... I think I now know the reason why her father wanted to see me.
However, I don’t want to build up expectations about myself. Whatever he asks I will just tell him as it is. Even if he doesn’t like it, that is the true me, that is Gyeon-woo.

Thinking like that I could stay comfortable and calm. Tomorrow I need to meet him.
I fell asleep early in the evening.

Tomorrow morning I won’t have to… be so smooth?? Hehe…

thanks to you Sjeep for translating...
thanks in advance for any future translations too.

Thanks for doing this!! I'm looking forward to the rest of the story!

I am extremely excited to announce you that my friend Yehjee translated the following chapter!
We're waiting for your replies, people!

______________________________________

Chapter 29 (translated by Yehjee)

"Ahhhhmmm~~ I slept very well last night~~ Hmmm.. I think I overslept.."

You know, today I have a very important thing to do. This is why I overslept. In the past, do you remember what I did in front of her father, mother and uncle?! That makes me so embarrassed...

So as soon as I woke up, I thought like 'I must regain this!'

I'm gonna wear the most gentle clothes I have. You want me to wear suit? I really hate wearing tie. I'd rather wear the clothes that I wore at that time - her suspenders and yellow t-shirt.

My little sister is wearing those clothes now.. ^_^; Haha.. I didn't return them back to her.

I got up slowly and and looked into a mirror.
Hmm.. am I looking good now?

Oh my god, my eyes were swollen... What the..
What the heck is this? What's wrong with my eyes?

I think this is the result of breaking my life rhythm. I usually sleep for 12 hours but I slept for 15 hours this time and my eyes become like this.

I had lunch and washed my face. I looked into the mirror again and my eyes become as they were yesterday. But.. I still looked bad. So I gave comfort to myself.
"It's okay!! There's more than looking nice!! Older people do not really care about appearance!!' Desperate.

Now I guess it's time to answer her phone.

"R-r-ring" <- I told ya -_-;;

The Girl : Gyeonwoo, come to Bupyeong station until 3.
Gyeonwoo : Three? Isn't it too early? Aren't we supposed to have dinner?
The Girl : You're right but just come until 3. I've got also something to tell you.
Gyeonwoo : Ok.

I'm in Bupyeong station, wearing pigeon-colored pants, neat shirt and v-neck vest (similar with school uniform thing..)

The Girl : Gyeonwoo~
Gyeonwoo : Hey!
The Girl: Hahahahaha, your clothes! Hahaa
Gyeonwoo: Stop! Why are you laughing?
The Girl : Are you wearing high school uniform now?
Gyeonwoo : -_-;;

We went into a cafe. It somehow seems like a cheapie tea house. We ordered two cups of coffee and drank water.

Gyeonwoo : You said you've got something to tell me, right?
The Girl : Yeah? Oh, yeah you're right....
Gyeonwoo : Go ahead.
The Girl : Okay.....

There was a very small change on her face. It was neither angry face nor the face before she hit me. I guessed it wasn't that a good topic. She didn't say but just drank coffee so told her,

Gyeonwoo : Do I.. really have to go today?
The Girl : Yeah?? What?
Gyeonwoo : What are you thinking about right now? I said do I have to go today.
The Girl : Yeah, my dad's waiting.
Gyeonwoo : Then what were you going to say? This is really not like you.
The Girl : Ahh.. it's nothing!

She was smiling. It seemed like she was trying to smile harder than usual and that smile was making me feel weird.

I'm not an idiot who don't know a fake smile.

Actually, I was going to say that I'm never going there but it was not a great time. I couldn't say anything seeing her different from the other days.

And I was right in front of the gate of her house. She didn't say anything coming here from there.

She could say something like 'do not make a mistake' or 'my family hates these things' ..

There was a sound inside her house.
"Warrr.. warr"

It seemed like her father's dog already recognized she was outside.

"Warrrrrr~~ rrrrrr"

I guess that dog also recognized I was outside too -_-;;.

I'd seen him for 3 or 4 times and he even heard my footstep sound so I thought we could be good friends but.. that stupid dog...

She opened the gate!

The dog was barking and glaring at me as I expected.

"Haha, hey it's me! We've seen each other already, right?"
"Wrrrrrr..rrrr"
"Hey, don't be nasty, let's be friends, huh?"

She walked past the yard and went toward the front door. I followed her leaving the dog behind me barking.

"Dad~ here we are~~!!"

Thanks so much!! I patiently await the rest of the story!

Thank you Tafelberg :).
It has been a long break but this is still on my mind. I will do my best to make the rest translated. Take care.

reply

Thank you so and your friend for these translations! I saw the movie and read the original thread years ago. I re-watched the movie 2 days ago and started reading the thread again. The last chapter I remember reading was the end of their 100th day celebration. It was such a pleasant surprise to read the new translated chapters!

reply

Thank you omersermet. I hope you can finish the translation.

reply

I am telling the same thing to myself thesedays :)
Hope to see a new chapter soon cwin13.

reply

Loads of thanks for the initiative omersermet! Understand this has been a big task, but could you please try to have the final chapter (if not remaining 30-32) translated.. really want to read how this ends..

reply

You know what? Me too :)

reply

Thanks a lot for the new chapters ....

looking forward for the remaing chapters thanks in advance . . .

reply

Thank You so much for translating. I am waiting for the final 4 chapters. I wish to read it soon. 😃

reply

just wanted to let you know that i really appreciate this thread. i haven't read anything else yet, but only the chapters in this thread. I also wantede to let you know that i really liked your initial post where you let us know how hard you tried to get this ball rolling.

Awesome!

Finally - i just wanted to give you a tip. You should visit a k-drama/k-movie/k-pop forum and see if anyone there could help you out? There are likely to be many people there who knows english + korean and one of them might help you translate the final chapters.

It's been almost 2 years since the last chapter you posted so perhaps my tip can you help you get started again :)
Soompi Forums might be a good place to start.


Cheers!
