Second Meeting (3)
Second Meeting (Part 3)
4:30 PM - the time when office workers finish their day's tasks and prepare to leave work for an on-time departure.
Instead of having to watch out for their old-fashioned department head's signals who would normally say "We're working overtime today, so junior, take the corporate card and buy dinner~", employees were gathered together watching a male streamer's broadcast, creating a rare spectacle.
"Manager Park, shouldn't we report this to the police?"
"Wait, I heard someone already did."
"Oh no! What if something terrible happens before the police arrive?!"
Department Head Kim, who was approaching to make his tone-deaf comment of "No overtime today, but let's go for company dinner! You know it's Dutch treat, right~?", stopped in his tracks at the mention of police. He peeked his head out to spy on the monitor his subordinates were watching during work hours.
"You tiny male dog bastard!"
"Says you with your flat chest! Are you wearing a bra because you're cold, you bitch?!"
The broadcast screen was shaking wildly, showing a chaotic situation that was hard to make sense of. The voices belonged to an adult woman and a man with a beautiful voice that could make anyone moist down there just from hearing it, but the level of their dialogue was no joke.
After several rounds of violent exchanges between them...
"Why are thugs oppressing men... Aaah! Get away from me!"
Crash! Bang! Thump!
With rough noises, as if the smartphone filming the broadcast had been dropped, the screen showed the ceiling, floor, and various angles like an old-school action movie camera before landing in a perfect position. Finally, the protagonists of the voices and the situation that had been too chaotic to see were displayed clearly.
What immediately caught the eye was the male protagonist with the beautiful voice.
An angelic appearance that made one doubt if he was truly of this world, and a small, cute height that triggered insertion impulses.
And facing this angelic man were a woman with a devilishly distorted expression glaring at him, plus two tattooed thugs who made you want to willingly hand over your warmed-up wallet just by looking at them.
It was clearly a crime scene. Even as a woman, if she were there, she would be trembling in fear, but the angelic-looking man was calmly dodging the three women surrounding him, buying time.
"Po-police... Call the police right now, you bastards! The angel is in danger?!"
Department Head Kim had already assimilated with his subordinates...
---------------
Kim Ye-rim, an FPS game specialist streamer who had been passionately streaming after being inspired by Kang Cheol's recent growth, sensed something unusual around 4:30 PM, three hours after starting her stream.
She was playing Bubble Fighter, a game popular with younger friends in the Battle Arena, with the stream title "I was Master tier in Battle Arena but Bronze in Bubble Fighter?!" Her usual average viewership of 400-500 had risen to 600 today, showing an upward trend, when suddenly at 4:30 PM, viewers started rapidly disappearing.
Normally at this time, office worker viewers who had finished preparing to leave work would flow in, increasing viewership - so what could possibly be causing it to decrease instead?
"Ah, shit! Following me to this elementary school game and sniping me is really not okay~!! I'm not doing this! I'm going back to Battle Arena!"
As her concentration wavered from the sudden mass viewer exodus and she got angry at snipers, one of her longtime viewers since her early streaming days sent a Water Balloon donation with attached video.
Ding~
[TangtangBitchLeftTitIsMine gifted 100 Water Balloons!]
[Video]
Since video-attached donations were common, she casually pressed the play button, only to be met with a chaotic, wildly shaking screen that was impossible to understand.
At first, already upset about viewers suddenly leaving, she frowned thinking it was a prank and tried to close the video. But...
-Woah, is this for real?
-Isn't that Kang Cheol-nim's voice from the male military service special last time?
-Right! People call him Angel-nim these days
-But what's happening now? From the voice alone, it sounds like he's fighting with a woman?
'Kang Cheol Oppa...?'
Though the video alone made the situation unclear, the voice was definitely Kang Cheol's beautiful, familiar voice, and something serious was happening.
Ding~
[TangtangShithead gifted 100 Water Balloons!]
[Tangtang, this isn't the time to be shooting bubbles! Paprika TV community is going crazy over Kang Cheol-nim's stream!]
'Oppa already started streaming?'
That chaotic short video just now - Kang Cheol who usually starts streaming at 7 PM had already begun?
'He said he was meeting with his editor and manager...?'
Games weren't important right now.
She quickly turned off the game screen and urgently moved to Kang Cheol's stream, accessing his broadcast that already had over 15,000 viewers without even a title, nearly crashing the server.
And then...
"You tiny little fuck...!"
Slap!
"Aaah~!!"
She saw Kang Cheol getting slapped and falling down...
--------------
Clearly in movies and comics, when the protagonist strikes a cool pose and delivers a finishing line, the villains should be crying and kneeling - that's the national rule. But this scammer was making the horrifying statement about kidnapping only me and running away!
As I stood dazed by the situation unfolding completely differently than I expected, footsteps sounded from the cafe entrance and three tattooed thugs appeared.
'Uh...? This wasn't supposed to happen?!'
Surrounded on all sides.
Just dealing with the one scammer in front of me was tough enough, but now three thugs who looked like they could kill me just by brushing against my collar had joined.
But I don't panic!
Why?
'I've bought enough time. Soon the police will come rushing in response to viewers' reports!'
Even though this was a cafe located on the outskirts of the city, it was still close to the downtown area with high foot traffic. Surely by this time, it would be perfect timing for police officers to appear.
"Hehehe~ Judging by your expression, you seem arrogant thinking you can rely on those cop bitches. Sorry to say, but the cop bitches at the nearby precinct are probably gathered where our sisters are causing trouble right now. They'll have to wait quite a while to come here. Can you last that long?"
...Past me who thought that, repent!
'Well, that's how scammers are. They wouldn't not prepare an escape route!'
I was stupid.
The opponent wasn't an individual but a gang organization.
I don't know why they planned this so thoroughly, but if what she said was true, I couldn't expect police help.
"U-um, couldn't we resolve this through conversation like intellectuals...?"
"You tiny male dog bastard! What are you saying now?!"
Hng, not working...
Damn, still, calling me "tiny" since earlier is too much, isn't it?
"Says you with your flat chest! Are you wearing a bra because you're cold, you bitch?!"
Didn't I think you were a man at first because your chest was too flat?
"Grab that bastard right now!"
I deliberately provoked them, hoping the scammer who appeared to be the leader would charge at me first, but it didn't work.
What made me confident enough to make the leader charge first?
That was...
"Sweetie~ If you want to keep that pretty face unharmed, stay still~ Noona will taste you gently, kehehehe~"
I smiled sweetly at one of the thugs approaching with leisurely steps at the scammer's command.
"Really? Then would you like to taste 'this' before me... Yot!"
Bzzzzt!!
"Dduweop?! Ddwit...!!"
Thump!
The thug friend instantly meets his end from the taste of my decisive electroshock weapon.
That's right. I had the electroshock weapon that Ye-rim's father gifted me!
'Fuck, did he really die?'
I even worried about the electroshock weapon's effectiveness beyond my imagination.
'Father, did you really give this kind of thing to your "daughter" to use?'
As I thought about how strongly he's raising his daughter.
The guys were panicking at the sudden appearance of the electroshock weapon.
"Unnie, that bastard has an electroshock weapon?!"
"Fuck, so we should have just rushed him with all three of us from the beginning!"
Huhu, I told you to resolve this through conversation like intellectuals, you fools!
Watching them panic, I triumphantly raised the electroshock weapon and made threatening sparks crackle in the air.
"Now, if you kneel and apologize even now, I'll spare your lives(?)..."
Bzzt! Tick! Ti...di...di....i.....
"...es?"
Huh?
Why is it suddenly doing this?!
The electroshock weapon that had been vigorously sparking suddenly had its sparks shrink like a middle-aged man's limp dick, then weakened to resemble a 100-won tick-tick toy before finally falling silent.
"..."
"..."
"...Tehe?"
A moment of silence.
And then
"Grab him!"
"Why are thugs oppressing men... Aaah! Get away from me!"
Crash! Bang! Thump!
With my only hope - the electroshock weapon - dead, the thugs charged simultaneously!
The only saving grace was that the fallen thug friend created an obstacle, and my small size allowed me to escape between tables.
'Ugh! I think I dropped my smartphone...'
In my desperate escape, I'd dropped the smartphone that was streaming.
Well, is the smartphone the problem right now? I'm about to get fucked!
But since we were the only customers, I could move around dodging the hands of the thugs who were only ridiculously large but slow...!
"You tiny little fuck...!"
The scammer, who I'd forgotten about since he only gave commands without moving until now, suddenly appeared, grabbed me as I was crawling out from under a table, and pinned me to the floor.
'Oh fuck, I'm screwed...'
Slap!
"Aaah~!!"
Stars flash before my eyes...
