Aftermath (1)
April 2nd.
By selling Min-seok and rebutting all sorts of nonsense, the national debate ended as scheduled.
After finishing the national debate in Seoul and returning to the male family ministry dormitory in Sejong City late at night, the date had already changed.
It was really tough, having waited and watched all day without eating properly.
On the way back to the dormitory, everyone exhausted, checking the chat and online communities, the reactions were so intense they seemed about to explode.
We uploaded the videos and materials we made jointly with the government online, and the comments below were something else.
It went beyond just "crazy guy" to nothing but absurd things.
'Rather, it would be more beneficial to throw all the males into a brothel and make them ejaculate.'
'Where are the human rights that protect everyone in such an emergency situation.'
'Sacrifice as a man for the country and society.'
'What kind of thing is this weak man doing.'
'This is why Korean men are no good.'
'They should be isolated in society.'
'Why can't they do artificial insemination and sperm banks.'
These stories overflowing, and posters saying they need to protest to flip everything.
And posters demanding to come out to a specific station by April 5th were made and shared.
Aigoo
This is the top liked one?
But what to do? Martial law is still in effect, and the government is on our side?
And if they were conscripted and sent to the war front, that would be enough, why more?
Crazy women.
I don't know what others are thinking, but let's not get involved with me.
As citizens, we've sacrificed this much, now it's time to fight for rights.
Even if the number of posts from extreme ends is more than normal people, this many is worrying.
Should I prepare?
Still, right now, I should watch the reactions of normal people.
Quick and concise contact.
Is this the opinion of ordinary people?
The sample is small, hard to trust, but it has value.
Don't know.
Let's take a shower.
I took off the tie and clothes I was wearing and put them in the basket, then entered the small shower booth.
Originally, I would adjust the lever in the shower booth to set the right water temperature, but today I just wanted to get in, so I put my head under first.
The pouring water stream that changes from cold to appropriate temperature pouring over my head, the feeling of emptying my head doesn't feel bad.
Hmm. Happy time is too sweet.
Proper shower relieves stress, seems right.
There aren't many ways like this.
...Was this the best?
Did I miss anything?
What should I do next?
The thoughts filling the empty head again, one by one, are getting messy again.
So I kept pressing my head under the stream for a long time, emptying my head.
The many things I experienced while awake today are a bit dulled.
The too vivid senses just stimulated my survival instinct.
The heartbeats lingering in my ears and the sharpening senses keep coming.
If I've worked this hard, it's okay to rest a bit.
Everything needs reward and rest.
So let's rest a little.
Just a little.
After the long shower, I did the habitual post-shower routine without thinking.
I put on clothes, dried my hair, drank a glass of water, and dried my feet.
I lay on the bed with my body relaxed in warm water, and picked up my phone again.
Better to see it once than explain with words.
As I came down, I uploaded the scraped comments and communities to the chat.
Of course. Our Minister.
Too well done.
This is how well he communicates.
It's 2 AM now, so I can sleep for about 5 hours.
I don't know how I fell asleep without typing the last chat.
The warm bed is great.
"Yes, yes. Received the call. Park Seonghun."
"Really? You were still sleeping?"
"Of course. I worked so hard yesterday, I have to rest, right? What's the business?"
"I heard from the Minister. You said we should arm ourselves. What were you thinking doing that!"
"Aah, full of energy from the morning. What does he eat normally."
"Do you know what's going around in the cabinet now? It says men are causing a rebellion. Immediately disarm."
"Is that an order as the commander-in-chief of the military?"
"Yes!"
"Then I don't have to."
"Then since we're not part of the military, I don't have to listen."
"Don't worry too much. Since you heard from the Minister, you'll know why we did it."
"It's just that the public opinion about us is bad, so we'll protect ourselves until it calms down, President."
"You have a unit protecting you!"
"You're joking."
"President. Will that army protect us well? Or will we protect ourselves better."
"...Still, I can't acknowledge arming. Disarm!"
"President, be honest. Why waste time with meaningless words among people who know everything. You're probably very busy now."
"...Then I'll form a direct presidential unit, so do it moderately."
"Yes, yes. That's right. We didn't have any other purpose, we just did it to protect our bodies."
"Really, there is no higher purpose."
"Who knows later, but for now."
"Now."
"More than that, when did the implementation date of the system I mentioned yesterday come out?"
"I already signed an administrative order, and instructed the party about bill submission."
"Fast."
"If it was a little slower or if rejected, we would have armed ourselves and all jumped overseas to UN General Assembly to accuse or defect to another country."
"Fortunately."
"That hardship won't happen."
"From mid-April at the earliest, by the presidential election date at the latest."
"This is really fast. I thought it would take some time."
"Starting as soon as possible is good from a national perspective."
"Yes, but faster than expected... I humbly thank you, President and the political world, for actively cooperating, representing the men."
"So do well! If you'll do such things in the future, contact me in advance! How surprised I was!"
"Yes, yes. I thought I had to do it in a hurry, so I couldn't contact in advance. Sorry."
I took the hysterics and the call ended.
Now, really sleep.
Zzz. Zzz.
Ah, who is this. What guy.
Ex-girlfriends...
