It's All Right Chief Dharma



Here the common verb "떨어지다", which literally means "fall" is being used in a context I do not recognize. My best guess is they're referring to summer vacation hours allocations, based on when this comic was published and the team celebrating the completion of a big project last comic. I've never worked in an environment that does this, but I do know that practically the whole country goes on vacation late July and early August even though there aren't any holidays around then, and that there's a big push to finish outstanding work before that point.



"결석" is an obscure word. I can guess from context that the second syllable is Chinese for "stone" and that the first syllable has a different Chinese meaning I do not recognize. "여기" means "here", so "여긔" is a pun that utilizes Hyeh-ran's weird speaking habit. Hopefully I have explained this comic to death by now and made it completely unfunny.

The one thing I appreciate about 9CL is that Brooke himself is apparently is so bored with the main characters that he goes on these long, meandering storylines about other characters.

The bad thing about that is that the other characters are just as terrible.
