/u/ GL Webtoon: Lilith Ch. 1

Lilith Ch. 1, for /u/:
(not everything is a literal translation; there's some parts i felt i had to re-phrase in order to make it work in english. 'cause, you know, stupid korean nuances)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRO

>Here I go!

>Dang
>Oops.

>Nice one, Seolhwa~!!
/s

>Hey, why don't you stop for today and head inside?
>Don't you have student teaching tomorrow?

>Serve it one more time

>...
>You push yourself like that, you'll collapse, no?
>Don't overdo it.

>...but I've waited for so long.

>I'm itching all over for this

>[Yoon Seol-hwa]
>[Soonbaek Girls' High School Student Teacher]
Soon could mean pure/virginal, baek is the color white. so yeah, lol. some korean-from-korea could tell you more.

>You know I can't hold back.

>>Source: Lee Seongbok's “That Day,” from “When Will The Rolling Stone Wake Up.”
some poem published in 1980. it's a 'fancy' poem so my translation isn't very good. In the poem itself, I think the first bit is about love and jealousy, the 'bird's flying' is about how everything passes, and the last bit was meant philosophically. obviously, it could be read a little differently in the context of the manhwa

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER CLASS

>Oh! Jaehee-ssaem!
(more slang-y way of saying 'teacher')

>Kim-seonsaengnim, hi.

>You know that teachers and student teachers are coming today?

>Ah, it's already around that time.

>>*chitchat*
>I hear there's three of them this year. One is middle school gym, so the other two are high school English and gym?
>The gym teacher will be on maternity leave very soon, so it looks like the student teacher'll have a lot to do.
>>*chitchat*

>Is that so? Yeah, I'll bet they'll be very busy.

>Well! It's Cheon-seonsaeng and Kim-seonsaeng.

>Looks like classes ended late.

>Oh!
>Principal, hello.

>This is our new gym student teacher Yoon Seolhwa, from our student teaching program.

>...!!!

>And as a graduate of our school, Cheon-seonsaeng really knows her stuff!

>?!?!

>Oh my, is that so? That'll be great~!

>Long time no see, Seolhwa-ya. How've you been all this time? Everything going well?

>Yep, of course!

>And you've been taking care of yourself too?

>Y-yeah, you know...

>Haha, so you two are close!

>By the way, the teachers are all getting together today for a celebration,
>You all know, yes?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTAURANT

>Hey, Yeong-a...
>Is it possible that instead of smoking you come inside with me?

>...? To do what?

>[Seon Woo-yeong]
>[Soonbaek Girl's High, School Nurse]
it's possible that it's 'health teacher' instead

>Go inside and start eating without me.

>That's not it
>It's just that Seolhwa...

>{That's why I'm saying~...}

>...?

>...You...

>That's right!
>I could... I'm gonna go to the bathroom!

>{What are you even right about?}
>...Weird

>{How in the world can that Seolhwa even look at me like that...! Does she have any idea how this affects 'that thing'?}

>Ahh...
>Once Yeong is done smoking, if we go inside together...

>Is that S-seolhwa?! When did you get here??
>{You startled me, you know!}

>...
>Eunni,

>We're seeing each other for the first time in 4 years, you know.
>So why,

>Why are avoiding me like this?

>Why are you startled like this?

>...Seolhwa-ya–

>Eunni,

>Do you hate me?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTSIDE

>...

>I'm sure I've seen you before...
>You look familiar.

>Did I see you in a club...?

>[Joo Hye-rim]
>[Seonbaek Girl's Middle and High School Foundation, Chairwoman of the Board]

>Jaehee is where...?

>Rude much, bitch?
>You won't even greet me first?
first part is some kind of slang but hell if i know, i'm just a filthy gyopo. maybe she's calling her nuts or something. i can't tell what level of rudeness/vulgarity/playfullness it's supposed to be

>This again?
>How about you answer my question, nurse?

>...bathroom

>Goodness,
>What are you doing here?

>Hyerim...!!!
not sure about 주. could mean 'master' or be some other honorific, but i think Seolhwa is the one talking...

>H-hyerim-a

>Can't you see we're talking right now?

>Well, I was talking about Jaehee.
>*She* isn't a baby

>Seo-
>Seolhwa's just like this because we've known each other for a while

>Stop it and let's just go.
>Huh?

>Pfff
>Bwahahahaha

>What are we gonna do,
>It looks like Jaehee wanted to talk with the baby.

>{Ohmygod… really?}
>{kekeke}

>Eunni!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACK AT THE TABLE

>Ah,
>Chairwoman, you've arrived!

>Please, don't stand on my accord and let me interrupt your dinner.

>I've just come by for a moment to greet you
>With all the work I have right now, it's all I have time for. No need to see me out.

>Goodness, so you won't be able to join us for dinner…
>Are you going too, Cheon-seonsang?

>Ah, yes. Something's come up... the chairwoman's offered to drop me off on the way.

>Oh dear, is it something important?

>...Yes, it's

>Very important.

>I'm sorry!

>*...Were those two always close like that?*

>*Kim-seonsaeng, you didn't know? Those two, you know they came out of the same school. They're schoolmates!*

>*No, I mean, why are there teachers we don't know, at all?*

>*Because the foundation went bankrupt, after this chairwoman graduated, the school was about to close down. The chairwoman's father took over, and afterward a lot of teachers changed. That's why.*
not sure about this translation

>So part-time...?
or this one

>*As for why she's totally different, they say she's from a wealthy Chinese family, do you see how that could make sense?*

>*That's what I'm saying. Didn't you hear, her father is Chinese and her mother is Korean?*

>Hmmm

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BOUDOIR"

>[panting and breathing sounds]

>>*shiver* <3

>Hyerim-a, I...
>can't hold it...mmmphf!

>Who told you could talk like that?

>Now, lick.
