Axel
What's with the sigh early in the morning?
Axel
You got problems, buddy?
Axel
Don't start your day with a frown.
Barbara
GOOD MORNING, MY HANDSOME FRIENDS~
Barbara
Just call me Barbie hehe
Lucas walks in the classroom and buries his face on the table
Barbara
What happened to him?
Lucas
I'm good. Just leave me for a minute.
Axel glances at him again before taking his seat.
Axel
Is it your family again?
Lucas
What else could it be?
Axel
I thought you might have a relationship problem HAHA!
Lucas
I don't even have a girlfriend
Axel
Anyway, what happened?
Lucas
As usual, Dad's asking for money.
Axel
He still hasn't found a job yet?
Axel
I thought he went abroad for that?
Lucas
I'm pretty sure he's just running away from responsibilities here.
Axel
You say that but you always give in.
Axel
You don't stop complaining to me but still can't speak up to him.
Lucas
I don't want to disrespect him..
Lucas
He's still our father.
Lucas
I loathe arguing about money of all things.
Axel
I'm not telling you to disrespect him.
Axel
I'm asking you to tell him about your situation.
Axel
You can't always endure everything by yourself.
Axel
It's their responsibility to provide for you guys.
Axel
What's the sense of being abroad then?
Axel
I don't mean to talk behind their back, okay?
Axel
Try to open up to your parents. Tell them that your salaries from your part-time jobs don't suffice for your needs here.
Axel
You are also supporting your sister in her studies.
Axel
It seems like you don't have parents at all.
Axel
They're lucky to even have a son like you.
Axel
Kim? We're you listening?
Kim
Just passing by HAHAHA!
But he is debating with himself whether to tell their parents or not.
However, he still can't decide.
Why am I thinking negatively again?
It was my choice to apply for a job, to help my family...
Nodding, he tries to convince himself.
But look at me, I've been ranting non-stop.
What's the point of feeling down?
It's not like I'll cry dollars.
Lucas
Get yourself together, Lucas.
Lucas
Let's look at the bright side.
Lucas
This will all end....
Lucas
Stop with the self-pity.
Barbara
Did you buy a new pair of shoes?
Barbara
That's expensive, right?
Axel
Bless me with your wealth, Kim HAHAHA!
Lucas smiles bitterly while looking at Kim's brand new shoes.
Even though he would love to buy one for himself, he can't afford.
But it's okay, he thought.
Lucas
Someday, I'll be able to buy things I want without worrying for anything.
