092. Boisterous Large-Scale Collab
Putting the store back together didn't take as long as I'd thought.
The women nearby lent a hand too.
When they saw me helping the staff, they started pitching in one by one.
And just like that, the cleanup was mostly wrapped up.
"Um... I'm sorry. For not helping you out earlier."
"I'm sorry too."
The women who'd been eyeing each other nervously suddenly started offering apologies.
The reason was that when Thicc Ass had framed me as the perpetrator,
and the men had piled on, agreeing with him,
they hadn't offered any help.
"It's fine."
I answered with a casual wave of my hand,
keeping my expression completely unbothered.
This wasn't something I needed an apology for.
"In that situation, staying neutral was the obvious choice."
The women's attitude had been perfectly sensible.
Without knowing what the truth was,
taking one side to the extreme was a stupid thing to do—
exactly like those male streamers earlier.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! The women stayed nice and neutral!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya! Sticking it to 'em with the neutral gear!
【Reformed Guburi】─I seriously can't understand bastards who only hear one side of a story and swallow it whole like gospel.
【Plum Tree】─Right? At least verify the facts before you pick a side.
【Hottie Licker】─We all believed in Se-hun first and watched, didn't we. *lick.*
【Qkrnfl892】─fr lol. We didn't stay neutral either, same thing.
【Dick Lover】─I'm unconditionally on Se-hun's side. Don't care if he's a criminal.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Isn't that what they call six of one, half a dozen of the other?
【Drift AI】─I speak. I praise that you learn quickly.
【Min-ji】─Let's self-reflect, everyone!
【Yoho】─Min-ji. Quit showing off and stay still.
【Min-ji】─k
After glancing at the chat window out of the corner of my eye,
I spoke up to the women again.
"If anything, I'm grateful. You didn't curse me out just because some lunatic told you to."
The moment I finished saying that,
the way the women looked at me seemed to change for some reason.
How should I put it—moist, but also sticky?
It was an intensely uncomfortable stare.
【Reformed Guburi】─That blue-haired cunt over there. Thighs look like they're getting nice and damp. lol
【Hottie Licker】─*Ptooey ptooey.*
I had an ominous feeling I was in for an exhausting time.

We decided to have the meal here at the bar, as planned.
The place had been trashed once.
Still, it was not damaged badly enough to prevent business, and everyone had worked together to restore it to some degree.
‘...But why did they push all the tables together?’
During the restoration process,
the table layout had changed drastically.
How had it changed...?
You could basically say they'd just joined every single table into one.
After that,
I inevitably ended up surrounded by the female streamers.
"Your stream name was Hun's World, right? What platform are you on?"
"Um, hey... do you know me, by any chance? I've got a bit of a name as a gaming streamer..."
"Se-hun. If it's not too rude, would you mind waving to my viewers for a second?"
"Wow. You're even more handsome up close... Oh, sorry! My inner thoughts just slipped out!"
"How old are you?"
"I heard twenty-two? Se-hun, I'm older than you, so I can drop the formalities, right?"
"Where'd I put my car keys. Ah! Here they are. My BMW car keys."
"That's a lighter."
"Shut up, you crazy bitch."
The women were constantly trying to talk to me.
These were the same people who, just earlier,
hadn't even said a word to me, let alone approached me.
I honestly wondered if they were the same people.
【Reformed Guburi】─Those bitches seriously won't stop hitting on Gye Bastard-hun. They wanna die.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Warkyarpya! They're seriously flirting with my boyfriend!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya?
【Yoho】─Why are they all suddenly coming on to him like that?
【Hottie Licker】─Maybe because Se-hun was a little nice to them? *Smack smack.*
【Drift AI】─I speak. They hadn't approached Gye Se-hun before, judging they'd be sworn at instantly if they tried to talk to him. Now that they realize he's actually a kind man, they're swarming him. Utterly clueless.
【Min-ji】─Oh. That might be it. Good psychological read.
【Dick Lover】─Drift seems a little pissed off.
【Qkrnfl892】─lol Just talk to him confidently like a real woman. What a bunch of chicks with zero confidence.
【Hottie Licker】─He's got this unapproachable aura, though. Might be because he's drop-dead gorgeous. *Slurrrp!*
【Plum Tree】─They just realize the difference in level and give up early.
【Qkrnfl892】─fr lol. A bunch of leftover women.
【Hottie Licker】─Shut up.
【Min-ji】─Ah, got it. So the type of person who talks to Se-hun first is someone with high self-esteem or courage!
【Dick Lover】─Courage? Just for talking to a guy?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! So basically, the losers can't even talk to him, right?
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya! That's exactly it!
【Reformed Guburi】─What a load of crap. They probably just didn't talk to him 'cause they had no connection to Gye Bastard-hun, you dipshits. Quit the crazy stanning.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─For real. I don't have courage and my self-esteem isn't that high, but I could totally talk to Se-hun in person.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I state that fortune favors the bold... or rather, fools rush in.
【Reformed Guburi】─Ah. Or maybe they just dodged him because Gye Bastard-hun's personality looks trash. lol Sex~
『'Reformed Guburi's' chat has been restricted. Time remaining 00:00:30』
I was checking the chat constantly.
I couldn't get so caught up talking to the women that I neglected my own viewers.
‘That bastard Gyejipsa's been slacking on chat moderation lately.’
It was just as I was hunting for a viewer to personally hit with a chat mute.
"Hun's World... I mean, Se-hun! Could you maybe say hi to my viewers too?"
A woman came over holding a camera.
She was the one who'd been stealing glances at me and fidgeting for a while.
Looked like she'd finally worked up the nerve.
"Sure. Saying hi is nothing."
"Thank you!"
I looked at her camera,
put on a slight, practiced smile, and waved.
"Hello. I'm Gye Bastard-hun... I mean, I'm Gye Se-hun."
The woman then showed me her chat.
I figured she wanted me to see the reaction.
─Hello.
─hi hi
─Hii~
─I didn't believe what that Thicc Ass guy said earlier.
─Wow. He's really handsome. lol
─What's with that perfect face? I'm a guy and I think I'm falling for him.
─Wasn't it Hun's World? Is Gye Se-hun his real name?
─I apologize for being suspicious in my head. T_T
─We permanently banned everyone who was badmouthing Se-hun after being incited by Ass-plosive Diarrhea.
─Nice to meet you!
─His skin is seriously amazing.
─Hello!
They were some remarkably polite viewers.
There were almost no chats that made me wince.
On the other hand.
【Reformed Guburi】─They're giving out short chat mutes these days. What, got premature mutelation? lol
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─I hate premature anything.
【Dick Lover】─But are all the viewers on a woman's stream guys?
【Qkrnfl892】─no, most viewers on women's streams are women too.
【Dick Lover】─Are they lesbians? Why do they watch other women?
【Reformed Guburi】─'Cause they got pussies.
【Yoho】─People watch if it's fun.
【Reformed Guburi】─Ah~ talking about pussy suddenly makes mine itch! Seeex!!!
【Hottie Licker】─Want me to scratch? *Scratch scratch! Lick!*
【Reformed Guburi】─Quit licking, you fuck.
These bastards were truly a lost cause.
Not just the nicknames—
the sheer intensity of the chat was too embarrassing to show anyone.
So I hid my phone fast.
It would be a disaster if anyone saw it.
"Thanks for saying hi. Ah, and is it okay if I say hi to Hun's World's viewers?"
"Yeah, no problem. But I won't be showing you the chat."
The woman looked at my camera and waved.
As agreed upon beforehand,
I didn't show her the chat window.
Because under Guburi's command, they'd definitely be spamming weird crap all over it.
"I'll head back to my seat now! A-and... maybe sometime, if you get the chance, a collab... would be nice...! Well, bye!"
Without even hearing my reply, the woman fled back to her spot like she was making a run for it.
I wondered how she managed to stream with such a timid personality.
‘Anyway... Hyeon-su was in full fortress mode.’
The women's barrage of questions had ended,
and I took a look at Cheerful Namsu sitting across from me.
The guy was practically a stone statue.
He sat there with his back ramrod straight,
exchanging only the bare minimum of conversation with the women.
‘I didn't think he was acting like that because he was worried about a scandal...’
Come to think of it,
he'd mentioned lately that he was limiting interactions with women because of those male supremacy group bastards.
He'd said they were especially vicious with malicious comments toward the female streamers he collaborated with.
So he must've been acting cautiously to make sure no one took any damage because of him.
‘That guy's got it really rough.’
Well, even so,
he seemed to be having a good time in his own way.
He was constantly downing expensive alcohol,
“Hahaha! Bring more drinks!”
Looked like he was good and wasted.
Of course, it wasn't just Cheerful Namsu who was in high spirits.
"Cheers! Drink till we die!"
"Drink up!"
"Cheers!"
"Get it wet!"
【Reformed Guburi】─Get your pussy wet!
【Hottie Licker】─*Lick.*
And so, the rowdy night at the bar grew deeper.
***
In the basement office of some building.
Over the unconscious punks sprawled across the floor, Seong So-ri was pulling off her blood-soaked gloves.
In under five minutes,
she'd subdued them all with nothing but her fists.
"...You're done already?"
Just then,
Team Leader Park, who'd gone to check the other offices, returned.
Team Leader Park scanned the room, letting out a sound of admiration.
Then she shifted her gaze to Seong So-ri and continued.
"I've freed all the men who were locked up. The three who'd been coerced into streaming by threats over debt were sent home, and the men forced into prostitution while drugged... for now, we've decided to move them to our hospital for protection and treatment..."
Team Leader Park couldn't help but trail off.
That final measure had been a unilateral decision on her part.
A superior’s approval.
More specifically, the director’s permission.
Sending civilians to an organization-run hospital without it was highly problematic.
"I'm sorry... the men's condition was so extremely severe, I just sent them to the hospital first..."
Team Leader Park bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle in apology.
But
Seong So-ri didn't care about that detail in the slightest.
"Good work. Then I'll leave the cleanup of this place to you."
"...Yes. How should I handle the disposal?"
"As long as you don't kill them... no, just do as you see fit."
"Understood. Have a safe trip back, Director."
"Yeah."
Seong So-ri left the scene,
and Team Leader Park called in her subordinates, tied the punks up, and moved them to the docks on the west coast.
*

Amid countless oil drums,
Team Leader Park stepped up to one and peered inside.
Bound up inside it,
a man was trembling in fear.
"Hnk, hic... p-please spare me... please... I was wrong... I won't do bad things ever again... I'll live a good life from now on..."
The man was begging for his life.
He was none other than Thicc Ass, Park Jin-ha, who had worked with the delinquents.
Team Leader Park looked down at Park Jin-ha and let out a sigh.
Then, in a voice so quiet the other members couldn't hear, she murmured to herself.
"Truth is, I hate killing people too. I'm technically a cop, after all."
"A c-cop...? Mmph? Mmmph...!"
Before Park Jin-ha could answer,
Team Leader Park forced his mouth open and jammed a funnel in.
Then she began pouring in cement.
"Of course, it's fine, since you bastards aren't people, just trash."
After dealing with Park Jin-ha,
Team Leader Park left the rest to her subordinates.
Team Leader Park stuck a cigarette between her lips and looked up at the night sky.
‘Only one year left until the operation. I needed to somehow get Director Seong So-ri to retire before then... Would the director ever consider something like eloping for love? I had already got the new identity set up and everything.’
It was a night for deep thoughts.

Meanwhile,
Seong So-ri had returned to her office and was watching Gye Se-hun's stream with an empty mind.
【BigGirl】─Se-hun. Don't drink too much.
【BigGirl】─Even if you can handle your liquor well, you should still be careful.
【BigGirl】─All women are wolves.
【Reformed Guburi】─Quit being such a nosy bitch, you fuck. You seriously make me wanna track you down and throw hands.
Except for thoughts of Gye Se-hun, her mind was completely blank.
