[Act 1 - Game addict boy]
August 2024, 1 AM, Singapore. Kallang Rs Condominium.
In some house, a lady came into the kitchen and checked the table. There was a cell phone in a small box on the table.
Box Sticker: Don't use your phone during 11pm - 6am.
Mother : (picking up the phone) Huh, there's only Eunice's phone in the box.
The cell phone in the box belonged to her daughter.
Mother : (she was upset) Justin again.
The mother, upset by this, went into her son's room.
Mother : Justin, what are you still doing at 1am?
His son, Justin, was sitting at his desk playing with his cell phone.
Justin(Son) : I am not sleepy yet.
[Son, Justin Goh(age 15)]
His mother started getting annoyed with Justin playing games at night.
Mother : I can say you are addicted to the games, really! When will you grow up?
Justin continued to play the game obliviously, oblivious to the annoyed and frustrated mother right next to him.
Mother : Do you keep playing like that?
His mother ordered Justin to give back her son's phone to her.
Mother : Give it to me.
Justin was still in the game.
Justin : Wait a second. It ends very soon.
Mother was starting to get angry.
Mother : I am going to count. If you refuse give it to me voluntarily by my count five, I will take it from you.
His mother warned him that she would confiscate his phone if he didn't give it to her by the count of five, but he continued playing the game despite her warnings.
Mother : One. Two.. Three... Four....
Justin continues to play the game even though his mother warns him by counting numbers.
Mother : Five!
When his mother confiscated his phone, Justin became upset.
Mother : (looking the game) What is this, huh!
Justin : I was going to give it you in a second.
His mother rebuked Justin sternly.
Mother : I can't believe you? Your "a second" means "30 minutes".
Justin complained to his mother about the game.
Justin : How could you seizure my phone in the middle of playing without mercy? (he upsets) My tier is going to be down, because of you. It was the stage of level-up!
Justin was upset and pounded his fist on the desk.
Mother : I don't care about tiers. Justin Goh, if you secretly take your phone like this during 11pm and 6am to play games, I will confiscate your phone for one year! Understood!
His mother warned Justin that if he ever take his phone again during 11pm and 6am, she would confiscate his phone for a year.
Justin : Yeah. So get out!
My mother sighed in disappointment.
Mother : You are going to get scolded by his teachers because of that!
His mother closed the door to Justin's room and went back to the bedroom. Justin never reflected on his actions and just kept thinking about playing the game.
[Act 2 - Don't play games while eating]
The next morning, mother was preparing the breakfast table. At that moment, Eunice ran into her mother's arms and said good morning.
Eunice : Mom, good morning!
Eunice is Justin's older sister, and unlike Justin, she is a kind and obedient girl.
[Daughter, Eunice Goh(age 17)]
Mother : Good Eunice. You got up early today? My sweetheart!
Her mother stroked Eunice's head and told her to wake up Justin.
Mother : It seems like Justin is still sleeping. Can you go to wake him up, sweetie?
Eunice went to Justin's room to wake him up.
Eunice : Mom, he is playing games.
Instead of sleeping in, Justin was playing games in his room. His mother was about to get angry.
Mother : Is he playing games now? (She was annoyed by Justin) Oh gosh, he must have been up overnight! (Calming her mind) Ah I should calm myself down. We need to go to a birthday party of my brother.
Eunice asked her mother when she was going to her uncle(the older brother of her mother)'s birthday party.
Eunice : What time are we going to the party of our uncle?
Mother : We are leaving in 30 minutes after breakfast. His house is locate far to the west of here. He told us to meet him at his house until 11am.
Mother said they would leave in 30 minutes after breakfast. Her older brother’s house is located far to the west of where Justin and Eunice’s family live.
At that moment, father came out of the room.
Father : Eunice is the only one who cares for me.
Her father hugged Eunice and adored her.
Eunice : Dad, I'll buy you something delicious!
Father : Thank you, dear! (Eunice's comforting words) You are the reason of my feel good.
Mother told me to sit down and eat.
Mother : Let's have breakfast, have a seat!
But, Justin was too busy playing games.
Mother : (she calling Justin) Justin, come and have breakfast!
Justin didn't answer. His father was a little worried.
Father : I guess he is playing games with headsets!
Mother : Is he?
Father : You better go to him, Leena Tan.
Mother : Can you go and talk to him, Carl Goh? He doesn't listen to me anymore. (telling Eunice to not worry about her younger brother) Eat, Eunice.
Meanwhile, Justin is playing Rainbow 6 Siege with his headset on. Justin is currently being outdone by his opponent. His father opens the door and comes in.
Carl Goh : Justin(x2)! (Taking off the headset) Why are you only playing games from early in the morning? Come out and have breakfast.
Justin Goh : 5, no, only 3 more minutes.
Carl Goh : 3 minutes sharp. Come out after then.
Justin Goh : Okay!
Justin promised his father that he would only play the game for three minutes. However, he ended up losing 3:4 to the opponent in the end.
Justin Goh : Why do I keep losing?
Justin was on the verge of losing the game and his stress level was at an all-time high. At the same time, his frustrated mother tried to enter Justin's room, but Justin suddenly got up and kicked the door hard.
Then, Leena, his mother, was so surprised that she fell backwards.
Leena Tan : (When Justin kicked the door) Oh my god! What the hell is this!
Carl Goh : What the hell?
Carl, his father, opened the door and spoke to Justin, trying to scold him.
Carl Goh : Why did you do this?
Justin spoke timidly, scared.
Justin Goh : I lost the game again and got upset, so I kicked the door hard.
The father was upset and angry and scolded Justin.
Carl Goh : (Raising his voice at Justin) Do you kick hard the door because you lose the games, huh?
Justin Goh : (Bow his head) Sorry, dad.
As soon as Leena stood up, Carl spoke quietly to Justin.
Carl Goh : Come out to eat! (Comforting Leena) No problem! Come here. Let's have breakfast.
Leena Tan : (Staring at Justin) What is wrong with you!
Carl Goh : (Comforting Leena) It's okay, Leena!
Carl comforted Leena and everyone gathered at the breakfast table. Once again, Leena was upset about Justin's violence.
Leena Tan : How could you just let it slide?
Carl Goh : (To Leena) You didn't have a cerebral concussion.
Leena Tan : (Raising her voice) Cerebral concussion is not the issue here.
Carl Goh quietly rebuked Justin.
Carl Goh : Don't violence ever again, although you are upset or annoy.
Justin Goh : (Quietly) Sorry!
Carl Goh : What if your mother got hurt?
His father rebuked Justin and told his wife that Justin's speech and behavior had improved.
Carl Goh : He won't do it again.
Leena Tan became anxious because of Justin.
Leena Tan : Let's get ready, and go after breakfast. Otherwise, we are going to be late for the party, my older brother will be upset!
[Act 3 - Stubborn Justin]
9:20am. Eunice and Justin were sitting on the couch playing a game on their cell phones. Justin was completely focused in the game. Just then, Carl came out wearing a shirt and dress pants.
Carl Goh : (to his son) Aren't you getting ready to go?
Leena Tan : Let's go.
Leena was upset because her son kept playing games.
Leena Tan : Look at thim. (Raising her voice) Justin Goh! What do you think you are doing without getting ready? Hurry up!
Justin Goh : (Focus only on his game) Can't I just drop out?
Leena Tan : What?
Justin Goh : It's not my friend's birthday, this is our uncle(mother's older brother)'s birthday.
Leena was displeased with her son's bad speaking habits.
Leena Tan : How could you say that?
Eunice also became frustrated with Justin.
Eunice Goh : Let's go, now!
Justin Goh : (To his older sister) Zip your mouth, Eunice.
Carl Goh : You are refuse to go?
Justin Goh : (Rejected) No. There's nothing to do for me there.
Leena was starting to get annoyed with Justin for only playing games.
Leena Tan : Justin Goh, are you planning to play games like that all day long alone? Hell no, get up right now.
Justin continued to play the game despite this, so Leena lightly hit her son on the back..
Leena Tan : (After beating Justin's back, Leena tells his son to come to his senses.) Wake up now, Justin Goh! Why do you make Mom so upset?
The older sister is becoming increasingly frustrated with her younger brother who is crazy about games.
Eunice Goh : Wake up, Justin! You are making mom upset.
Justin Goh : (Picking a fight with his older sister) Zip your mouth, sis!
Justin is a bad guy who only plays games. So Carl decided to exclude Justin.
Carl Goh : Let's go by ourselves without that guy!
Leena Tan : (embarrassment) What?
Carl Goh : Let's just go without Justin.
Leena Tan : (I'm worried about my son) Justin should go with us.
Carl Goh : I'm going to take the Wi-Fi router with me.
As he said this, Karl pulled out the Wi-Fi router.
Carl Goh : He can't play games without Wi-Fi. (Tell Eunice to go) Eunice, are you ready? Let's go.
Leena scolds Justin again.
Leena Tan : You are.
Carl Goh holding a wifi.
Carl Goh : Even if he goes with us, all he'll do there is play games. And then, you will get angry with him. I don't want to see it. Let's go, before we are late!
Justin sees his family off.
Justin Goh : Safe journey.
Carl Goh : As punishment for being stubborn today, you're going to your room and writing a repentant statement.
[Act 4 - In front of the PC room]
The whole family went to his uncle's birthday party, and Justin called his friend.
Justin Goh : Hey, it's me. See you in 20 minutes. I'm going out.
Justin ran to the bathroom, washed up, and changed his clothes.
Elixir Esports Lavender PC cafe.
[Justin's best friend, Frank Low(age 14)]
Justin Goh, Frank Low : (Encounter with passing men) Hello.
Man 1 : You said you din't have money, but you have it for PC cafe, huh?
Man 2 : Is this the boy who hasn't paid back your money?
Man 1 : How come you played games in the PC cafe even though you did't have money?
Justin Goh : It's because Frank lent me some money.
Man 2 : When did I?
Frank Low : No, I didn't.
Man 1 : Don't mess with me. (Looking at Justin) So, when are you going to pay us back?
Justin Goh : I'm going to bring the money from my home now. I don't have any money with me.
Man 1 started picking on Justin.
Man 1 : (he picks at Justin) It's your trick to runaway, isn't it?
Justin Goh : No, it's not.
Man 2 : I heard it wasn't the first or second time.
Justin Goh : Sorry.
Man 1 kept pestering Justin at the entrance of the PC room and demanded that he pay up.
Man 1 : We will be staying in this PC cafe. Your time limit to bring my money is 5pm. (Put his mouth on Justin's ear) Otherwise, it'll be your last day today.
Man 2 : (Pulling on Justin's ear) You better listen to us when we are nicely talk to you.
The two men threatened Justin to pay them back by 5pm.
Frank Low : You haven't paid it back to him yet?
Justin Goh : I was going to, but I kept forgetting. (Justin's ear is swell) He didn't need to pull my ear?
Frank Low : How much is it?
Justin Goh : S$50(50 Singapore dollar).
Frank Low : But you only borrowed S$20(20 Singapore dollar).
Justin Goh : That's what those bastards do. I'm deeply regretting it. (blaming Frank) Why didn't you stop me when I asked him for money?
Frank Low : You just went to him even though I told you not to. What can I say? Let's just go.
Justin blamed Frank instead of thinking about what he had done.
Justin Goh : Frank, I don't have Wi-Fi at home.
Frank Low : Why not?
Justin Goh : My dad took it.
Frank Low : What? Did your dad take it away?
Justin Goh : Just share some of your dates, please.
Justin asked Frank for some data when his father took away his Wi-Fi and he couldn't play the game.
Frank Low : (he refuses) No way.
Justin Goh : Just a little bit, please.
Frank Low : (Because of Justin Goh who pushes me) Okay, Justin.
Frank refused at first, but he reluctantly lent it to Justin on the condition that he pay back the data.
Justin Goh : I can't afford to pay back the money, but I can pay back the data.
Frank Low : Of course you should.
[Act 5 - Justin, we will punish you!]
Meanwhile, at the condo where Justin lives. The current time is 4:57 pm.
Man 2 : I told you to take the money from him at that time.
Man 1 : Shut up. We can get it now.
Finally, Goh family returned from the birthday party.
Man 1 : Was it 12-07?
Man 2 : Or 11-07?
Man 1 : No, it was 12-07.
Leena, who became suspicious of men.
Leena Tan : Hello. Are you visiting 12-07?
Man 1 : Yes.
Leena Tan : It's our home.
Man 1 : Who are you?
Leena Tan : My name is Leena Tan. I am Justin's mother.
Carl asked the two men.
Carl Goh : Are you friends of Justin?
Man 1 : We are seniors at school. Justin borrowed money from me to play PC games and didn't pay it back for 5 days.
Carl Goh : Did he goes to the PC cafe today?
Man 1 : Yes, we met some time ago.
Carl Goh : Did you? (telling to men) I'll pay it back. How much is it? (take money out of his wallet)
Man 1 : It's S$50(50 Singapore Dollar).
Carl Goh : He owed you a lot. (Giving them 50 Singapore dollars) We are sorry for it. It's such big money.
Carl took money out of his wallet and paid the men on trust.
Man 1 : No problem. Thank you, sir.
Leena paused for a moment and spoke to the men.
Leena Tan : By the way, how did you find our home?
Lina asked how they found out Justin's home address.
Man 1 : When we sign up the PC cafe member, we write down phone numbers and home addresses. We saw his address on it. We'll go now.
The men left, and Leena began to get angrier and angrier.
Eunice Goh : Dad, they are like gangs in school.
In fact, the two men who asked Justin to pay back the money were actually school bullies.
Carl Goh : Are they?
Leena Tan : (They knew two men were gangs) I can't never let Justin go!
The angry family took the elevator up to the 12th floor where their house was.
Meanwhile, Justin, who arrived home, sat on the sofa and continued playing a game, unaware that his parents were very angry.
Leena Tan : Where is he, Justin Goh!
Justin Goh : (Stop the game) You are back?
Leena Tan : (She angrily rebukes her son) How can you play games without the Wi-Fi?
Justin Goh : A friend of mine sent me some data.
Leena Tan : Data?
An enraged Leena Tan burst into the house, ran againt Justin and confiscated his phone.
Leena Tan : (Forcibly confiscating my son's phone) You are ont allowed use the phone for one year from now.
Justin Goh : I told you not to take my phone away without mercy. (Throwing his mother on the floor) Give it back right now, Leena Tan.
Leena was thrown to the floor and Justin retrieved the phone.
Eunice Goh : (To the mother who was thrown) Mom. (Getting angry at her younger brother) Are you out of mind?
Although he managed to retrieve the phone, his father, Carl Goh, punched Justin.
Carl Goh : What kind of son are you? Your mother fell down but you only care about your phone?
After being punched by his father, Justin starts bleeding from the nose, and his enraged father drags Justin into his room, yells at him to hand over his bag, and forces him to leave.
Carl Goh : (give Justin to the bag and yelling) You are not my son anymore. Get out of this house right now.
Justin was kicked out of the house by his father's wrath. After being kicked out, Justin wandered from place to place. Of course, Carl called his son's homeroom teacher and asked for Justin to be automatically expelled.
