Chapter 42 – Episode 42 – Kang Na-Yu’s Story (4)
The first reason things went wrong was because of the men’s ages.
‘The guys who already looked so sad were teenagers?’
As for Nayu, I wanted to protest, but what can I do when it’s true.
It has become an adult committing violence against a youth.
The second reason is that it was one-sided violence.
It was acknowledged that it was self-defense.
CCTV showed the men approaching Nayu first and reaching out for her.
However, it was concluded that the suppression was excessive.
It was said that it was excessive, since he had killed three men for more than four weeks.
The third reason was truly unfair to Nayu.
It was a hundred.
It seems that the men’s family members were quite powerful.
From the police’s opinion to the conclusion, it was only unfavorable to Nayu.
Nayu protested.
She protested appropriately within the categories she knew.
However, Nayu’s opinion was easily ignored.
The words of men who only reflected their own opinions were fairly acknowledged.
‘You bastards!’
Nayu burst out in indignation, but she couldn’t help it.
A person in a suit, who appears to be the men’s protector, was seen in glimpses continuing to intervene.
Probably because of that man.
Is it really possible that I am being treated like this because I have no family?
Nayu felt so wronged that she thought that way.
And she seemed like it.
She was upset and angry.
But she couldn’t help it.
On the other hand, there were a few things she did that prevented things from going too far.
The first was that it was self-defense.
It was acknowledged that Nayu’s counterattack was in self-defense.
The second was Nayu’s protest.
Because she was familiar with the police station, Nayu was able to plead appropriately.
She did not get too emotional and only argued with the police about the necessary and important facts.
Even as a police officer, she couldn’t overlook this.
The third was the lagoon.
The next day after the incident, Seok-ho found out about the incident and did his best for Na-yu.
Nayu cannot know what efforts she made.
However, he knew that Seok-ho would have done many things for him.
It would have been nice if it had ended in a draw like this…
There was also a fourth reason why she messed things up.
It was a criminal record.
To be exact, it wasn’t a criminal record, but there were times when similar violence occurred before.
It was unfair for Nayu.
Those were also acts of self-defense or something?
However, the opponent also asked about this point.
And unfortunately, there was no fourth reason for Nayu.
***
In the end, Nayu was sentenced to probation.
“I’m sorry, uncle.”
“What is sorry?”
Seok-ho takes another drag on the cigarette she was smoking.
“Seup, ha…”
And she exhales cigarette smoke as if sighing.
“I think the old guys said that was a cat thing.”
“…”
“Ugh, those bastards…”
“What happened to the cat?”
“I’ll leave it to the hospital. Fortunately, he didn’t die, so they said they would adopt him once the treatment was complete.”
“Isn’t it a stray cat?”
“Don’t know much. But I thought it would be difficult to live as a stray cat because it was so injured.”
“…”
Nayu keeps her head down.
“Anyway, what you did is right. Well done.”
“I’m sorry…”
“Miankin, I’m sorry, Seup…”
“Why are you sorry?”
“Because I’m a police officer.”
Phew. Seok-ho exhales cigarette smoke again.
“One of those bastards is a bit weird…”
Seok-ho waves her remaining empty hand.
“He said he was powerful… So he had to do something.”
“A superior?”
“Ha fuck…”
Seokho doesn’t swear often.
No, it’s Seokho who endures cursing in front of Nayu.
I couldn’t bear it this time.
“Still, if it’s probation, that’s a good thing.”
“What should I do?”
“Hmm… I need to self-reflect for 6 months.”
“Okay, why don’t you reflect on yourself.”
That much can be tolerated.
“And one person must stick to you.”
“What is that?”
One person stuck? Are the police on me?
“That’s not it, you need someone who will continue to live with you and observe whether you are self-reflecting well.”
Is there something like that?
“Sure… Well, the family should just do it.”
Is it family again?
Nayu was annoyed.
“… Huh, this really hurts.”
“Why can’t you just do it?”
I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.
But Seok-ho says.
“That’s not possible.”
“Why?”
“I can’t because I’m a police officer. Since this is probation, you need people around you who have nothing to do with this incident.”
“So you can’t do it?”
“It happened like that.”
Nayu became quiet after hearing the answer.
There is silence between the two for a moment.
After a long silence, Nayu opened her mouth.
“Is it because I’m an orphan?”
“What do you mean?”
“Is it this sad because I’m an orphan?”
Nayu continued her words while looking into the distance.
“Look, it’s like this because I don’t have a family. Even if you do something, there is no one to look after you, and if something happens, there is no one to be with you. “I don’t have a home, I don’t have a job, I have to put up with the things I want to do, and I live in a miserable situation…”
The lagoon is quiet.
“You are family to me. Yes, you are like a father to me. But what can I say… I’m not blaming you, but you have other family too, right? Right?”
Only cigarette smoke flows.
“I know I’m complaining, but I’m a child… If I had a family of my own, wouldn’t I have gone through something like this?”
Seok-ho can’t answer anything.
I know it well.
How lonely Nayu is.
And how unhappy Nayu was.
She also knows that some of the men who approached her were nothing special.
Damn it.
I also know very well that the story of life is full of challenges and challenges.
But this kid is so unlucky.
Nayu is a perfect girl.
She’s a good girl at heart.
She is pretty and has good hair.
But does she have to suffer like this just because she is unlucky?
There isn’t even men’s clothing.
She looks like shit even to herself.
Ha.
Still, she wanted to give this child a lot of strength.
“Mister, don’t do that.”
Nayu speaks as if comforting Seokho.
“It’s not your fault. Thanks to you, she is happier than before. “You did a lot for me… If you weren’t there, I would have just continued to live.”
Seok-ho sees Na-yu.
The expression was expressionless, but the eyes were shining, and it was heartbreaking.
“But… I wish I had my own side… I kind of feel like that right now.”
Although it was Seok-ho that Nayu consoled, it was also herself.
“I would have done it if I had a younger brother.”
Nayu continues her words.
“No, did you do it because you had friends? I’m not sure. Anyway. “Once upon a time, when I was in school, there was a girl.”
“Uh.”
Now I can finally give an answer.
“He was strangely kind to me. So even though she was annoyed, she really liked it. I was secretly happy because the pretty girl treated me well. But one day, he confessed to me.”
“… Her. This is my first time hearing this.”
“I was a little surprised that I wasn’t gay. But that day, I answered like this. Wait a minute, I’ll answer you tomorrow. The child left without saying anything. And the next day, the child didn’t come to school. It turned out that he had transferred to another school. “It was the day before he was to transfer to another school, so he mustered up the courage to confess to me.”
“…”
“After I met him, I lived a little calmer and thought about him. How much courage did it take for a homosexual to come out and confess to a heterosexual person? It was not easy to imagine. It must have been that big of a deal, right? And I just… I thought it would have been half okay if it had been him.”
“Are you gay?”
“Ugh, I don’t think that’s right. But it was a child who loved me, so I liked it. Wouldn’t it have been okay then? A little bit of that thought and feeling was inside me. “I couldn’t deny that.”
“Okay…”
A poor, lonely child.
“Maybe I just needed a friend or someone on my side. I thought I would be on my side much better than the guys who only looked at my breasts… I like guys, but all the guys who came to me were trash, and that’s just a shame.”
Hi go…
“… It’s okay whether it’s a friend or a family member. A lover is also good. I think my husband will be fine too. I just… Wish I had you on my side. “I’m on my side, I’m number one, I’m my own ally, things like that.”
My head hurts.
I want to help this child somehow.
With that in mind, Seok-ho continued to take care of Na-yu.
But he can’t do anything anymore.
You can’t create a family.
I cannot fit into the category of ‘family’ that child wants.
However, it is impossible to create a man who does not exist.
It would be nice if there was just one guy with a good heart and sincerity.
There are other problems too.
Probation right now is also a problem.
Finding a place to live right now is also a problem.
There is only one week left this month.
Damn it, why does February only have 28 days?
Buck, buck, buck.
Seok-ho scratches his head.
It’s complicated.
Man, probation, place to live.
What is it?
“Ha, fuck…”
“That’s why I’m so envious of family. Of course, I know very well that you are like my family!”
“It’s hard for me, Ma. You’re that dick, you need a partner.”
“Partner?”
“A husband or a friend! Someone who can take proper care of you one-on-one.”
“No, I’m only 20 years old, and I’m already a husband, that’s too much. Giggling.”
“That’s what they say, right.”
“It’s your husband… Now that you think about it, was he your nephew?”
“Huh?”
“I was really grateful that he stopped me once because of me. If he’s going to keep doing that, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have him as my boyfriend or husband.”
“Uh… Wait a minute.”
Seok-ho hurriedly turned on the messenger.
I just looked through my address book.
He quickly took down the address book.
A sincere, decent and kind young man. At the same time, he is someone who can give probation. Besides, he has a place to stay, at least for a while.
I felt like I could solve three problems at the same time.
“… Wait a moment.”
“Huh?”
With Nayu by his side, Seokho makes a phone call.
A phone that has a signal will soon be connected to the other party.
“Hello?”
“Hey Junseok! How are you?”
That’s how Nayu met Junseok.
