A few days later, Yumi goes back home and is happy to see her big sister Yuri.
"You don't have to pay for medical school anymore," she declares [...]"I dropped out" We all freeze [...] "Now, I'm working in a Starbucks on campus" (page 111)
Mom, Dad, I have something very important to tell you... I dropped out of medical school... It was just not for me !
I understand her... I feel exactly like her sometimes... The problem is that she was the only one to know my secret about the Haha Club... I will have no one to talk to now...
What ? Why ? It's such a privilege to be a doctor !
A few days later, Mr. Montgomery, the owner of the restaurant premises visits the family Chung.
"Bong, you know I consider you my friend, but I can't let it slide anymore." [...] Obviously, we were having financial problems, but I had no idea that it was this bad. [...] "I can only give you eight more days to get on track, good luck" (page 169)
Bong, I'm sorry, but you really need to make more money ... Otherwise, I will be forced to give the space to somebody else!
I am giving you eight more days.
Oh no ! Dad and Mom are going to expect even more from me to attend Winston for free ! I will have to study hard and will have less time for stand up !
You can count onus Mr. Montgo-mery !
Several days later, Yumi and her friend Ginny eat together and Yumi decides to tell her about the Haha Club .
Yesterday I also went to see my sister in the Starbucks where she is working. She told me I had to tell Jasmine Jasper who I really was but I just didn't had the courage !
"They don't know anything yet. You should get out while you still can" ( page 200)
What should I do ?!
If I were you I would never come back to the Club, I think you really need to get out...
