Cheat day

.Inferiority complex

“Did you do this?”

Kim Seojin approached Mukunji, brimming with intimidation.

“Are you asking if it’s something you did?”

“It’s your doing.”

The aged kimchi glared at Kim Seojin without backing down even a little.

“What?”

“You are also the one who skipped work without permission, using a meeting that never actually happened as an excuse, and made a false contract with conditions you couldn’t take responsibility for.”

“So, are you saying you snitched on O-hyung?”

“Do you think it’s because of me?”

“Ugh.” This.

“If you’re going to show off, don’t let it be obvious.” I can’t even think of doing that.

With a tone that seemed to see right through my heart, they kept picking at my insides, leaving me no choice but to get extremely irritated.

However, as Mukji said, I couldn’t bring myself to hit him.

I already had so much to deal with, so I couldn’t afford to have a criminal record for assault.

“You should remember the helplessness you’re feeling right now.”

The aged kimchi warned.

“Red radish, Biomes.” All the broadcasters who had even the slightest connection with Hong Dangmu know what you did.

Biones was the company that Kim Seo-jin commissioned for opinion manipulation.

When Mukunji mentioned that name, doubt quickly turned into certainty.

Everything that happened today was planned by Mukji.

“After paying the price for your sins, do not even mention it with your eyes or mouth.” “Stay quiet and behave yourself.”

“Who do you think you are?” 어? Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?

“I know what you did to me for about three months.”

It was about inciting Team Leader Oh Hyung-man and the team members to pressure and slander Muk-ji.

“And I accomplished what you did in just three days.”

Kim Seo-jin smirked and put on a show of bravado.

“Don’t joke around.” You know how many years I’ve been in this field, right? No matter how much you struggle.

“I know well.”

“What?”

“I left him alone because I knew he was an idiot who couldn’t do anything by himself.”

Kim Seojin’s face twisted grotesquely.

“Career is just the beginning.” If you do something foolish with a mind that doesn’t even work properly, you’ll lose even more. I can do that.

It was a threat.

Mukjin realized that imposing further sanctions on Kim Seojin would be a crime.

I sincerely hoped that such a thing wouldn’t happen, but if Kim Seojin crossed the line, I was fully prepared to do so.

I couldn’t afford to lose the self-esteem I thought was gone and the person who helped me regain it. If it was to protect, I could do anything.

Mukji was showing off to the fullest.

“Are you threatening me right now?”

“It’s a relief that you can understand that much.”

Kim Seo-jin looked at the sunken eyes of the aged kimchi.

In the black eyes glaring at him, he could find no hesitation whatsoever.

I got angry reflexively, but.

At the same time, fear surged.

As Mukji said, in just three days, his world had completely changed.

At the disciplinary committee, all the irregular activities that Kim Seo-jin had committed at Hongdangmu Entertainment were revealed in detail along with the evidence, including the exchanges with Bioness.

Park Hyung-wook belatedly realized that it was a Mukunji episode, but all the circumstances of receiving a discount and requesting work from Bioness, claiming it was a job being done at Hongdangmu, were revealed.

Moreover, when Team Leader Oh Hyung-man testified that there were issues with the contract procedures involving the three YouTubers who were controversial due to school violence, and that half of the 2 million won received from Park Hyung-wook was pocketed, Kim Seo-jin had no way to escape.

“Why are you doing this to me?” “Why are you doing this to me?!”

Kim Seo-jin shouted in anger.

“Why did you do that to me?”

Kim Seo-jin was at a loss for words.

“It seems like you didn’t even consider my feelings back then.”

“Don’t joke around.” It’s your fault.

Kim Seo-jin gritted his teeth.

“It was like that from the beginning.” “Acting all superior, pretending to work hard, pretending to be competent, and taking all my work.”

Kim Seo-jin hated Muk Eun-ji’s gaze to the bone.

I was always compared to the seasoned employee who consistently showed results every week, while I struggled to even fill a line in the report.

After finishing the report and turning around, Muk Eun-ji was always looking down on herself.

Every time my pride was hurt, I gritted my teeth and busily worked to finalize the contract, but every person I met brought up the story of the aged kimchi.

Even right before resigning, it was the same when contacting the side dish store.

“You think you’re good at your job, don’t you?” Not at all. Do you think you can just do well without caring at all about the people you work with? A person like you.

“Was it inferiority?”

“……What?”

“Unexpected, but I’m not interested.”

There was no emotion in Mukkunji’s eyes.

It was the same as when I turned around after giving the work report.

“I have no intention of listening to why you dislike me.”

Muk-ji took a long breath and said to the panting Kim Seo-jin.

“All domestic MCN companies, management, and internet broadcasters, including Hongdangmu Entertainment, will point fingers at you.” You and everyone who knows you will despise someone named Kim Seo-jin. Someone you meet on the street will also secretly mock you.

“…….”

“You are a criminal.”

Kim Seo-jin raised his hand again.

Anyway, everything is already messed up.

It was a sense of resignation, as if adding one more sin didn’t matter much.

However, Kim Seo-jin couldn’t even make a final desperate attempt.

I strained with all my might to swing my hand, but I couldn’t move an inch against the brute force.

“What are you doing?”

Banchan-yong, who had been watching the situation nearby, grabbed Kim Seo-jin’s wrist and asked.

“Let go of this.” “Are you not going to let go?”

Flustered, Kim Seo-jin struggled, but Ban Chan-yong didn’t waver at all.

He only tightened his grip on the wrist.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuah!”

When Kim Seo-jin screamed in pain, all attention was drawn to him.

The aged kimchi, startled by the sudden appearance of the side dish, noticed the surrounding gazes and raised its voice.

“Thank you for your help!”

It was to inform that Banchanyong was not committing violence against someone, but rather helping himself who was about to be assaulted.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay.” You can let go now.

When Banchan-yong relaxed his grip, Kim Seojin irritably brushed him off.

What are you guys? 어? Did you wait here until I came out? “What is it?!”

To Kim Seojin, whose eyes had already glazed over, the surrounding environment did not register.

“Oh~ really.” I heard you two were working together, but it seems like you were just planning to get someone in trouble? Huh?”

“He’s not the kind of person who would care about someone like you.”

The aged kimchi has come out.

“Ha. Who does that pig think he is? What the hell, why are you even bothering?

“Shut your mouth.” You are not someone I can speak to carelessly.

“Why? Did you at least develop some affection from being together? Sure. They really do get along well together.

Shut up. You are a person who is much more respected and loved than trash like you.

“Let’s go.” PD-nim. “Conversations are meant to be had with people.”

“I still have something to say.”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Uh-huh.” “Don’t come.”

Banchan lightly pushed Kim Seojin’s chest as he approached.

When Kim Seo-jin fell and complained of pain, Ban Chan-yong tried to take the old kimchi back in the meantime.

“Does this bastard hit people?”

“Where do you see a pig?” “Much more manly and cute than you, who looks like someone who goes around cheating married women.”

“Alright, alright.” PD-nim.”

Apologize. “Apologize, you bastard!”

“Ugh.” Easy bastard. Baby lambs are cute, aren’t they? Right?

Banchan-yong awkwardly smiled and greeted the people around him as he dragged the aged kimchi to the car.

Please provide the text you would like me to translate.

I suddenly received a call from Hongdangmu Entertainment.

Out of the blue, they asked if they could come see me to apologize, and when I asked what it was about, they said it was related to Kim Seojin.

Since Mukji had been suspicious, I thought it was a good opportunity, and since the disciplinary committee was being held, I went to hear what was being said, and coincidentally, I had business nearby, so I stopped by.

In the meantime, I received calls from all over the place.

Baek Woo-jin, Cha Ji-chan, and Joo Ji-seung, as well as YouTubers who didn’t have much interaction, all checked in via KakaoTalk.

Wondering what was going on, I first silenced my constantly vibrating phone and headed to the Hongdangmu Entertainment headquarters, where I found Muk Eunji and Kim Seojin in front of the building.

The atmosphere was unusual, so I was watching closely when Kim Seo-jin raised his hand, and I rushed over just in time to stop him.

I don’t think I’ve ever run with such determination in my life.

“What happened?”

I asked the sulking Muk Eun-ji, who was still fuming in the passenger seat.

Waiting for a response, he slowly explained what had happened over the past three days.

I was just thinking of filing a complaint with the police, but I couldn’t help but admire Mukji’s ability to deal with so many people and achieve the desired outcome.

“That’s amazing.”

“…….”

“Are you feeling a bit better now?”

“Not yet.”

Mukji’s face is still hardened. I felt it a few days ago, but it seems like you’re really angry.

“Really?” I thought you’d feel better after venting so much. “Was that how you usually spoke?”

The aged kimchi turned its head.

It’s a flustered expression.

“No.” Emotions are rising. “Usually, I don’t do that.”

“Considering that, it was really impressive.”

“That’s not true.”

Mukbang made a serious face.

Seeing that scene was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh, which made me even more embarrassed.

“Really.”

“I believe.” I will trust you. No, and so what if I curse a bit? “Where is the person who isn’t doing it?”

“Really, it’s not.”

I couldn’t hold back my laughter and had a bit of a hard time for a while.

“So, what happens to Kim Seo-jin?”

“I was promised a termination notice from Hongdangmu Entertainment.” In the employment regulations, it is stipulated that a confirmed guilty verdict for criminal acts is grounds for automatic dismissal. There is nothing Kim Seo-jin will gain.

“The trial hasn’t even started yet.”

“I will be waiting at home until the verdict is announced.” “If you get a job at another company at the same time, it will lead to more contract violations.”

It will take at least a few months for the trial results to come out.

If it goes to appeal, it will take years, and during that time, Kim Seo-jin will have to live without any income.

You should have saved diligently.

“And?”

“At least in this industry, there won’t be anyone using Kim Seo-jin.” To everyone I had contact with while working, I sent all the circumstances and evidence via email, and it will probably be spread to the community soon.

Everyone will be saying the same thing, so they’ll spread the rumor themselves.

Such an incident is a very good topic, so it will be known through someone’s mouth.

“That’s amazing.”

“…….”

“Still, it’s dangerous.” If it’s a person, I don’t know. A worthless guy acting crazy, no, he’s acting crazy because he’s crazy. Anyway, what were you planning to do if you caused trouble?

“I was trying to accommodate.” I was thinking of getting a longer sentence. If the CEO hadn’t stopped me, it would have been better.

“No.” That’s not right. What if you get hurt?

The aged kimchi did not respond.

“Still, it’s a bit unsettling.” “It’s refreshing.”

“Is that so?”

“Isn’t that right, PD?”

The aged kimchi turned its head.

We looked at each other and, without anyone saying it first, we burst into laughter.
