*turn out 모습을 드러내다[나타나다] 

The real thief turned out to be someone else. 

*set someone up 함정에 빠트리다

His purpose was not the money, but to set someone up just to see how people would react. 

Thought it might be fun. 재미있을 것 같아서.

*stir up 일으키다[유발/유도하다], 불러일으키다, 일게 하다

*sooner or later 곧, 머지않아

But that didn't mean the kids felt sorry for Gon. Whatever; Yun Leesu would've stirred up trouble sooner or later: I glimpsed such messages over my shoulder in the chats on their phones.

*  *  *

*gaunt [ɡɔːnt] 수척한, 아주 여윈, 삭막한

Professor Yun looked gaunt, as if he hadn't eaten for days. 

His face was dark and gaunt.(Day 8)

I've never thought a beating would solve anything. But, but I beat Leesu. Twice. I couldn't think of any other way to stop him.

*settlement 합의, 타협

*make a settlement 합의하다, 타협하다 

I made a settlement with the restaurant owner.

Fortunately, no one was injured, and the matter was resolved. 

*things 형편, 상황

Things have changed a lot since Lees returned. I didn't even have the time to grieve over my wife's death. 

*dream of ~을 꿈꾸다

She might have dreamed of a home where all of us lived together.

When sadness and disappointment get out of control, and there is no solution, people start thinking bad thoughts. I did too ... I often imagined what it would've been like if he wasn't here, if he'd never come back.

 I've actually thought that things might've been better than they are now if we'd never had him, if that boy had never been born. 

*(own) flesh and blood 피붙이, 혈육, 친족 

I've had such terrible thoughts about my son, my own flesh and blood.

A man who absolutely hated causing others any trouble, so much so that he couldn't bear his own flesh and blood completely going against his steadfast philosophy.(Day 10)

Oh my, I can't believe I just told you all this ..

*tears streak down 눈물이 흘러내려가다

Tears streaked down his neck and rolled onto his sweater. 

*make out (소리가) 들리다, 이해되다

Soon he was sobbing so hard I couldn't make out what he was saying. 

"Because Gon is a good kid."

*treat (someone) like that (누군가를) 그렇게 대하다

How could you still treat him like that? After everything he did to you.

But if someone asked me to talk about him in more detail, I'd only be able to say that he beat me and hurt me, he ripped apart a butterfly, he set his face against the teachers, and threw things at my classmates. 

*talk about (someone) in more detail ...에 대해 더 자세히 얘기하다

*only be able to say 말할 수밖에 없다

+) Then she won't be able to say anything.

     그럼 할 말이 없을 거예요.

     이런 말 해도 될지 모르겠지만.

*set one's face against …을 외면하다,  ...와 대립[강경히 반대]하다

+) Her father had set his face against the marriage. 

    그녀의 아버지는 그 결혼에 단호히 반대했었다.

So, I simply said, "I just know he is."

Professor Yun smiled at my words. The smile lasted for about three seconds and suddenly broke. Because he started crying again.

"Thank you, for thinking of him that way."

"Because I feel sorry I couldn't think of him the same way. 

"If you ever hear from him, could you give him my words? To please come back?"

"Well, I'm embarrassed to say this as an adult." 

*one after another 잇따라서

But things happened one after another without stopping. 

+) You made one bad decision after another.

넌 잘못된 결정을 잇따라서 했어​.

+) Weird things happened one after another. 

이상한 일들이 꼬리에 꼬리를 물고 일어났다.

*devote attention to ...에 주의를 쏟다

And I had no time to devote attention to and care for each one. I would like another chance to get things right this time.

*  *  *

*go back in time 과거로 돌아가다

Yun could go back in time, would he have chosen not to have Gon?

If you think about it that way, then it would've been better if Gon had never been born. 그렇게 생각하면 Gon이 태어나지 않았으면 더 좋았을 것이다.

                                              *  *  *

*wide awake 완전히 깨어 있는, 정신이 말똥말똥한

It was early dawn, but I was still wide awake. I had something to tell Gon.

The school he went to was in the middle of a red-light district.

*seediness 부도덕한, 추잡한 느낌

+) seedy [ˈsiːdi] 지저분한, 더러운(비도덕적이거나 불법적인 일과 연관되어 있을 가능성이 있음을 나타냄) 

It was surprising that anyone would ever decide to build a school there, of all places. Maybe the seediness of the district developed after the school was built, but still. 그런 곳에 학교를 짓겠다고 결정한 사람이 있다니 놀랍기만 하다. 어쩌면 학교가 지어진 후에 더 안좋은  곳이 되었을지도 모르지만 말이다.

*students who looked nothing like 학생답지 않게 생긴 학생들

*prowl [praʊl] (특히 범행 대상을 찾아) 돌아다니다[배회하다], 어슬렁거리다

At his nod, the other kids began taking turns prodding my ribs and searching my pockets.

"What does a Goody Two-shoes like you want with me?"

 A goody-goody; a person who is exceptionally good and perhaps self-satisfied.

"The story of little Goody-Two-Shoes"라는 동화에서 유래된 말로, 신발이 한 짝 밖에 없는 소녀에게 어느 신사가 신발을 선물해 주면서 시작됩니다. 처음에는 착한 사람이라는 의미였지만 요즘에는 너무 과하게 착하고 바른 사람으로 보이려고 애쓰거나 그로 인해 다른 사람에게 피해를 주는 사람을 이를 때 씁니다.

"Where is he?" I simply asked, as the name Steel Wire didn't roll off the tongue yet.

"Why? You gonna go after him? I don't recommend it."

"Yes," I replied curtly.

Although it'll be useless.

*swagger 으스대며 걷다, 거만하게 걷다

Steamed Bun made a gun with his fingers, pointed it at my head, and mouthed bang, before he swaggered out of sight.

"I still can't wrap my head around it. How did you end up becoming friends with someone like him . .." she mumbled.

Someone like him. Yes, that was what everybody must've thought of Gon.
