JOY - OFFICIAL SHORT FILM - GROUP 3 - SHIFT 2 - TUE - AMERICAN LITERATURE

Hello, I'm Joy. Welcome to my story. I'm an ordinary college student, but I did like also nothing too special. It's my class session, outing with friends and meet with family. Very simple, right? However, on recent days, my emotional state is not stable as before. That is same approach. I feel so exhausted emotionally and physically. I have learned a lot. But if you like, I have not learned anything. That make me worry a lot. Worry that the test result would not be good. Worry that my parents would be disappointed in me. And all I'm feeling now is so blue. Hey, Joy. Why are you standing here? Are you okay? I'm just standing there and I don't know. What? You just, you guys just gonna stand here? Class is getting started in five minutes. Really? Hurry up, you guys! Go! Oh my god! Oh, Joy! No! I will catch you, you guys. Joy, what is it? It's just my vitamin, mom. It's good, but don't use it too much. You should eat more. You look so thin recently. Thank you, dad. But I need to do a diet. Oh, Joy. You should stop thinking about unimportant things and focus more on just studying. So, how is it lately? You have an exam, right? Don't talk about studying at dinner time or something that tastes like that. You just let her finish her dinner. What do you mean? I just want to ask about my total study. My friend's son had a good result, too. You're so serious. My saving card is gone and I need to learn. I will be waiting for the exam. Okay? That's it. Don't talk about it more. Just finish the meal peacefully. Hey, how did your test go? Not really. I don't know. Never mind it. Don't care too much about it. So, do you want to come with us tomorrow? Not really. Sorry. Why? Why don't you want to come with us? I mean, you forget the test results and just focus on the future. I don't feel good to do everything. I'm sorry. I don't know. Okay, so maybe next time. You must go with us, okay? Okay. Hey, Joy. Are you there? Hey, Joy. Are you there? Hey, Joy. Yes, I'm here. What's up? I just want to see you. I just want to have someone to talk to. Yeah, just say it. On recent days, I feel so... John? John? John, are you listening to me, John? Yes, I'm listening to you. So, just say it. I think we should stop, John. Stop what? I don't think I'm fine to stay with you. I think it's not a sensible thing. Are you okay? What did you say? Never let's end it here. I am too exhausted to handle everything anymore. Hey, Joy. How's it going? You good? Yeah, maybe. It's okay. The test was so hard and I couldn't handle it well. Yeah. Let's go get it, Joy. Now, we hang out a little bit to relax after this stress. Joy, do you want to come in? No, I don't want. Why not, Joy? You didn't come with us the last time too. We're recent friends. I just don't feel okay to join you. I'm sorry. Tell us, Joy. If we can help you, we'll do everything for you. You're so weird. It's difficult for us to understand you these days, Joy. I'm sorry. I just... Honestly, we feel so tired catching up with you all the time, Joy. Yes, indeed. So, I think you should have your own time, your own time for us. No, I just... I'm sorry, I just... Hey, Joy. Why are you circling around us now? I don't want to go home. I don't know where to go or what to bring. Why, Joy? What happened to you? I see that you have been acting so weird these days. Is it about the exam? It was such a hard test, right? And honestly, I couldn't do well at that one too. Don't push yourself to be like that for a while. But you know, I tried. I have tried a lot, and... But it seems you're never enough. Enough for what? I... I don't know. But it feels like everyone thinks I'm this perfect, brilliant person. I'm scared. See? I'm scared. If I miss it, nobody will care about me anymore. And I'm scared just for my parents. I can see that they really, really look up to me because all of you also do, right, Joy? Look, Joy, nothing is perfect. Perfection is imperfection. And please don't keep pushing to be perfect and everything like that. I think your parents will understand your struggles. You're not in my show, so you cannot understand my conditions. Hey, Joy, we haven't finished yet! Joy! What is this, Joy? Why do you have so many of these pills? It's my own business, not yours. Don't care about me. But you know, it is very dangerous if you use it wrongly. It's dangerous. It's endangering my life, not yours. I'm sorry. I should think of you more and more. Joy! Why? I don't care about you. You think of me more and more. How could you say these things, Joy? Do you ever think about your parents? How could they live if they know what you are doing here? Please, your parents named you as Joy. Joy, please. They hope you could live a happy life. All right, everyone ready? Here we go. Three, two, one, action! Joy, think carefully. I'm begging you. Do you know how scared I am? I love you. Your parents love you. Everyone loves you. Oh, Johan. Mom, I'm home. Say it right. Mom, I have something to talk to you. What is it? Why did you come home so late? I came home so late. The reason I came home so late is I didn't want to go home and I was so horrible to say it to all of you guys. Honey, why did you have feelings like that? Just tell me. My sins. I didn't do a good job, did I? That's okay. That's okay. Just do your exam. But I can see that you really expected me to know where you were staying. You mentioned your friend Julie. That's not the reason before. You just make me too stressed. I'm sorry, Joy. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I didn't think that my words could affect you like that. My fault, Joy. I'm sorry. Really? You're not sad of my result? Sure. It's just a result. Just an exam. I don't care about it. I just care about you, Joy. I'm sorry. Really? You're not sad of my result? Yeah. Remember, Joy. You're my only daughter. All I want is that you're safe, you're happy, and you're healthy. That's all. Okay? Okay? Remember that? Hey, did I miss something? Nothing. By the way, I don't care about it. But I just bought a knife for us. What is it? Are you hungry? Should we share together?
