ALL NOVEL chapter 2
02. Please open the door
Leaving the crap behind, I went down the stairs. There was an elevator, but I didn’t use it.
Because the elevators in this building are notorious for being filthy slow.
That’s too slow.
Once I was bored and tested how slow it was, and it took me 15 seconds to go one level.
Is this an elevator? Are you kidding me?
How can such an abomination exist in the sacred Korea?
Besides, I am a natural soul Korean beyond my natural bone! As a Korean, I can never tolerate such a slow and stuffy thing!
Once, I suggested that it be possible to speed it up even a little, or at least cut the time required to move between floors by half. However, the answer I heard was the official answer that it was absolutely not possible because of the law.
At first, I wondered if they were mentioning useless laws because they were annoying to repair. However, when I looked for the National Male Protection Elevator Safety Management Act written in the answer, it was a real law.
【For male-only elevators, or if the majority of all users using the elevator are male, the speed is limited for the mental stability and physical protection of males.】
Ah, that’s right.
If the law is like this, we can’t help it.
Especially when it comes to male laws.
Hey, they look like sunfish.
How are the men in this world truly degenerate creatures? Even taking an elevator can hurt you mentally?
It is tolerable that mankind did not go extinct.
Sincerely.
After thinking about it, I reached the first floor before I knew it.
After coming down the stairs, I took out the ID card I was wearing in the form of a necklace and entered the hallway.
After passing through a splendid hallway that didn’t even feel practical, the place I arrived at was a large security door.
This security door was one of the facility’s crown jewels. It is said that it was created as a collection of all kinds of security technologies and is being promoted in society or something.
They say that only then can men feel safe at the shelter, but I don’t know.
Certainly, as a state-of-the-art security facility, various security equipment was installed.
Fingerprint recognition equipment is basic, iris recognition equipment, vein recognition equipment, and even voice recognition equipment through a microphone.
I had to go through a really complex security procedure to get through one door.
Anyway, our men,
「Beep- Checking your ID card.
─Choi. Jin. Filial duty. Sir. Welcome”
“Okay, call~ call~ call~”
After inserting the ID card into the card reader,
By hitting the call button repeatedly like this,
「You pressed the call button.
Please wait a moment. I’ll connect you to the central security guard right now-“
『Ho, check the call! Hey, this is the Central Security Guard Office!』
In this way, I was able to skip all the troublesome procedures by directly contacting the Central Security Guard Office.
“Yes, hello. I called.”
『Yes, yes! Hello! Choi, Choi Jin-hyo!
ID card verified! What did you call for?”
I’m the battalion commander! Open the door!
I almost said.
But it wasn’t a joke, just saying ‘open it’ would have been enough.
Why? Because i’m a man
What can I do, in a world like this.
But I am a man who knows manners.
Therefore, such an ignorant method is a specification.
“I had to go to the family visit room, but I wanted to get past it quickly, so I called.”
『Yes, yes! Call reason received!
Please wait for a moment, we will take care of it soon!』
“Yes, I will wait patiently.”
『Kuhup! Suck! Go, thank you!』
After answering that, I calmly waited for the security procedures to be processed.
Within a few seconds, the voice of the security guard that I heard earlier came through the speaker again.
『Thank you for ironing!
Bobo, I’ll pass the security procedure inquiry through Sat, and let you pass it! That him, and Yes, so.』
The security guard started stuttering badly.
My voice had been shaking since the first time I responded, but now I could clearly feel that the shaking was worse than before.
Why are you shaking like this?
I decided to calm the security guard down first.
“It’s okay, so speak slowly.”
『Go, thank you, sorry!
Hey, that, that, really! I’m sorry!”
The security guard who had been idle for a while.
Within seconds, the security agent continued speaking with a confident voice as if he had made a decision to save the country.
『We will verify your identity through the camera!』
(‘Hey, you crazy b*tch!’)
(‘What if I do it for real!’)
(‘It’s over! We’re all done!’)
Huh? What camera?
More than that, it seems that the voices of other women are a little muffled through the speaker. Is it because of my mood?
At the word camera, I shifted my gaze to the surveillance camera hanging from the ceiling.
“Are you talking about the camera hanging from the ceiling over there?”
『Yes! That, when men go through security procedures, they turn it off for personal protection reasons. However, Choi Jin-hyo skipped the security process, so he tries to verify his identity through the camera. I’m really sorry to bother you, but would you mind if I turn on the camera?”
A security guard who suddenly speaks faster.
That camera doesn’t work when the man walks through the security door. First time i knew
By the way, if you turn the camera off and on like that, won’t the meaning as security fade?
“That must have turned off when men were using it. Amazing. I just found out about it today.”
『That, it is.』
(‘Hey! Apologize now and open the door!’)
(‘Okay! Just go ahead! Moro Gana Doro Gana, it’s all over! So at least achieve your goal!’)
(‘Crazy b*tches! Great! Okay, let’s just finish it off!’)
Rather than that, why did you suddenly open the camera? Has the manual changed?
If you want to peel it from above, you should. What are the security guards doing?
“Yes, it’s okay to turn on the camera.”
『!!! Tongue, thank you for your cooperation!』
(‘Enough!’)
(‘Look, what did you say?! I said it was okay!’)
(‘Don’t f*ck around and get ready to record quickly!’)
Is the radio in poor condition?
It sounds like there is a lot of noise.
As soon as I gave my approval, I heard a whirring sound from the surveillance camera hanging from the ceiling. And I saw the red LED blinking.
“Oh, did it work? Do you see well?”
『… ….』
I looked at the camera and asked the security guard if he could see me.
But there was no reply.
What is it? Could it be that it’s broken?
No, I don’t know where else, but there’s no way that would happen here.
“Huh? Hey? Hello?”
『… ….』
“What, is it really broken? Hello?~”
I jumped and waved at the camera. I saw the camera’s red LED flashing in time with my movements.
Sounds like it’s working?
“Hey~ Hey~ Hey, hey!”
『Keuheuk. Suck. Go, thank you Jinhyo Choi.
Identity, aspiration, confirmation, has been completed.』
(‘Thank you so much for being born…’)
(‘Thank you… Thank you very much.’)
(‘Ah, God. It’s Jinhyo.’)
「Beep. Your identity has been verified.
Unlocked. The door opens.
It’s dangerous, so please take a step back.」
Well, it wasn’t a malfunction after all.
I took a step back and waited for the security door to open.
It took some time, but I was still able to get through the security door faster than usual.
After all, simpler is better than complicated procedures.
I slipped through the security door and hurried to the family room.
◈◈◈
Central Security Guard Room of Men’s Shelter.
There were four women sitting around.
All with very serious faces.
“…… Even if you don’t say anything, everyone knows, right?”
“… Of course.”
“Can you not understand?”
“Yes, everyone knows how to do it.
But in case you don’t know, I’ll check and tell you.”
The representative was the woman who had been holding the microphone for answering calls until just now.
“First, take everything that happened here to your grave. Of course, you can’t even tell your family.”
Nod.
When the woman spoke as the representative, she nodded her head as if the rest of the women understood.
“Second, you should pay attention to the security of the recorded video. The moment it leaks, we’re all done. Know?”
Nod.
“Third, do not approach Choi Jin-hyo.
I trust you guys, but I don’t trust women’s instincts. I don’t trust my instincts either. If something unsavory happens, everyone will die. I understand?”
Nod.
“Now we are all in the same boat. Even if you die, you die together. So, what I just said must be followed unconditionally. Okay?”
“I understand.”
“Okay.”
“Okay. I believe in you guys.”
After she had finished her words, the woman reached out her hand between them. Then, as if she had been weaving, the rest of the women reached out and stacked their hands one by one.
Hands gathered as one.
Combined opinions.
And an oath united as one.
The women looked at each other with their eyes shining.
That was the moment when the eternal friendship of women hotter than the sun was born.
