chapter 27
27 – Example (2)
When viva la vida started playing in the earphones
As soon as the store manager’s expensive-looking car arrived,
The police car arrived.
The store manager got out of the car and approached me first.
“Seonghwan, are you hurt anywhere?”
“There were no injuries. Thank you.”
I bowed my head and said hello, and the manager said he was glad.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, in the center of such madness, there is no way to be unscathed.
You could say I was quite lucky.
Just by browsing QTube, aren’t you able to see scenes of celebrities or actors being assaulted?
In particular, I know that throwing water bottles or eggs onto the stage happens quite often.
That’s why celebrities go around accompanied by bodyguards.
Police officers checked the inside of the convenience store from inside the police car.
I got out of the vehicle only after radioing somewhere.
They were pretty reassuring aunts.
Then I approached the store manager who made the report and explained it.
“I requested assistance, so it will arrive soon.”
“Can I ask you to explain the situation before that?”
Because I was the only one who knew the details.
I spoke directly to the police.
Some customer said it was a proof photo in a large community.
I uploaded a photo of me and the convenience store sign.
He explained one by one that they were people who came to see the article.
The police officers also nodded and listened.
I lifted the notebook horizontally and started writing down.
“Why did they come to visit the student?”
“Uh…Well…My wife is a bit famous…”
“Is there a causal relationship between her wife being a celebrity and her coming to visit the student?”
“I appeared on the QTube channel… And they said I was a fan…”
“Aha… I understand what’s going on.”
It’s not the police station, it’s the police who haven’t yet inquired deeply.
I nodded.
It doesn’t happen often, but it can happen once in a while.
I’m sure you’ve dealt with it before.
Oh, that’s right.
I have to tell you everything, including how I touched your breasts earlier.
That is s*xual harassment in the eyes of anyone passing by.
I almost forgot.
“Um, police officer?”
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“Actually… I don’t know who did that when I left the convenience store earlier…”
“It’s okay, so please speak slowly and clearly.”
“There was someone who intentionally touched my chest…”
I closed my eyes tightly and confessed.
To be honest, I can forgive you for touching my chest.
But in order to set an example, you have to eat properly.
In cases such as rape and stalking,
Patients with delusional disorder that appear once in a while
‘We love each other.’
‘You liked it too.’
To get sentencing with this ridiculous excuse.
You may have seen news articles about efforts.
So you shouldn’t just ignore it.
Someone who is mistaken for something strange may try to attack me.
For your information, in this world, touching the body of an unknown man is a sin.
Just stroking the head, let alone the chest, can constitute s*xual harassment.
That is why women do not carelessly pat young boys on the head.
Compared to that, they are infinitely merciful to men.
To give a slightly extreme example, I
If you ask if it’s okay to touch your breasts, 9/10 will give you permission.
In addition, there is a very high probability that the person who refused was a married woman or a nun.
But that doesn’t mean you can get caught for s*xual harassment if you rub it without saying anything.
It’s similar to the one over there.
The ridiculous and trivial punishment was similar to that one.
After confessing to being a victim of s*xual harassment, I opened my eyes.
The manager’s face is red.
It’s not red because it’s embarrassing.
There are veins on his forehead, to the point where you wonder if he will collapse from high blood pressure at any moment.
It looked like he was holding back his boiling anger.
“You bastards, how dare you molest a part-time worker at our store?!”
“Um…Store manager?”
“Seonghwan, I will catch that b*tch and make her eat beans, so don’t worry.”
“Yes? Ah… Yes… Thank you.”
Then, he started calling somewhere.
In the part where he harassed a part-timer who managed his own store.
You seem to be very angry.
A store manager who cares for his employees this much…
Tears are blocking my vision.
“That’s because Seonghwan is a man. If it were us, wouldn’t it have been like that?”
“Oh, probably not. What a good boss he is.”
“Let’s take an example. Mr. Seonghwan, how much did the store manager allow you to spend on meals? For reference, mine is 6,000 won.”
“Huh? 6,000 Won?”
What is it?
The store manager told me that I could use my meal expenses freely.
Of course, I did what I wanted and had a simple meal within 5,000 won.
Isn’t this a level of discrimination in the eyes of other part-time jobs?
“That’s not true. The difference in profits is huge.”
“I think I’ve heard this before, but is it that much of a difference?”
“It’s partly because it’s the weekend, but there are also people who come all the way here just to see Seonghwan.”
It is said that he sometimes jumps twice as easily.
I think the free meal plan was a consideration for me, who was exhausted from a lot of work.
Well, if it wasn’t for something sweet, I might have passed out.
I can’t help but be truly grateful.
“Maybe that’s why no one among the part-time workers thinks it’s discrimination.”
“hahahaha… I guess I should call that… Fortunate.”
I scratched my head sheepishly.
Why do you say other people don’t think that way?
What can I do?
I was talking to Hye-eun.
The store manager had already finished the phone call and was talking to the police.
I sighed and came over here.
The police also came together.
“For now, I think you can just leave today and visit the police station later when you contact me.”
“Can I not go today?”
“I guess there are too many perpetrators.”
The police smiled bitterly.
Even though it’s the weekend, we still need to investigate all those people.
I guess I should give up going to work.
I also have to go to the studio to film AraTube.
If I had asked them to come to the police station, I would have been in a bit of trouble, but I am glad.
I have to tell Ara after everything is done.
After that, the manager told me to leave work early today.
Because I was urged, I had no choice but to take off my vest and prepare to go home.
The ‘offenders’ who were trapped inside the convenience store
According to the request for support, they were picked up one by one by police cars.
Everyone was arrested and taken away.
It is said that some people are resisting and will be charged with obstruction of official duties.
CCTV video was also taken as evidence.
It seems that the s*xual harasser who touched my breasts was also identified.
After checking the video, it was revealed that the chest was intentionally grabbed.
***
On my way back home after finishing filming AraTube,
I told Ara what happened at the convenience store today.
I was absolutely furious.
She was a little surprised because it was the first time she had seen Ara truly angry.
I started to feel sorry because I felt like he was thinking of me.
First of all, he plans to call the CEO of her agency and file a proper complaint.
The convenience store manager will handle things like trespassing on private property.
Insults, s*xual harassment, etc. Posted in community posts
We have to file a complaint against someone who s*xually assaulted me by touching my breasts at a convenience store.
And the woman who took my picture cannot be held criminally responsible.
She should file a civil claim for damages, she says.
I don’t know what you’re talking about because I don’t know anything about the law.
You’re still slapping my forearm
He has an angry face.
“If something like that had happened, you should have told your sister!”
“It hurts! It hurts!”
“It hurts! Why is the boy so fearless and thinking so much? Really!
“I’m…Sorry…! It hurts! Stop…! Sister, stop!”
“Does it hurt a lot? Did I hit you too hard? I’m sorry.”
It hurts, but what can I do?
I did something that deserved it.
It hurt, but I didn’t avoid it.
Well… I didn’t have the ability to avoid Ara’s smashing.
“Regardless of when I was at the convenience store, I made a mistake by not telling my sister and hiding it before filming. You know that, right?”
“I know… I’m sorry…”
“Ugh…”
Ara quietly hugged me.
And with one of her arms she stroked her back
He gently supported the back of my head with the other side.
“Seonghwan, you decided to play QTube, right?”
I wondered why Ara suddenly brought up the topic of her Q tube.
I nodded her head.
Appearing on the Ara channel is fun, but running a personal channel is
How fun it would be.
It’s thrilling just to imagine it.
“Yes….”
“Then let’s quit the convenience store. It will be better for you and the store manager.”
Ara’s advice was reasonable.
After today’s work, I won’t be able to continue working there.
A service industry with a well-known face?
It doesn’t make sense…
“Okay… I’ll tell the store manager.”
“Yes. And let’s go to the agency with my sister tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
“If you’re going to do this, it’s better to sign a contract with the agency, and the company has a legal team.”
Wow…
So, through the agency’s legal team,
You’re suing people?
She thought it was a good idea, but she also thought it was scary.
If it is person-to-person, the perpetrators may have a chance to win.
But what if the person suing is a large corporation?
What if I belong to that large company at the time of filing a complaint?
The hope of the perpetrators is

Ara’s quiet anger made me feel like I had turned on the air conditioner inside the car.
I just quietly closed my mouth and held on to my goosebump-covered arm and the forearm where Ara hit me.
