Chapter 451 – Chapter 451. Identity
* * *
She originally intended to go to a cafe with Seohyun Choi, but somehow ended up going to the police station.
The person who went to the police station was a brother in his 30s who said that he was not wearing a mask, another brother of a similar age who hit him, me and Choi Seo-hyun, and a few more people gathered at the police station.
The evidence was clear.
In addition to Choi Seo-hyun, several people left video data, and looking at the data, it was confirmed that one brother was beating the other one-sidedly.
The older brother, who used to beat other older brothers vigorously and even punch me at random until the policemen came from the park, became very kind when he went to the police station.
“Detective, haha… I drank yesterday. I’m sorry. Can you take a look at it? I don’t think I’m still sober and my head is a little dizzy…”
While saying that, the older brother tried to hide it somehow, but he seemed to be unable to work with the police.
“Apologize to the person who hit you, um~, it’s good for us to go over smoothly. To come to an agreement first…”
The police induced the brothers to come to an agreement, and I was there a little longer.
I was in a position to stop the fight, and since I hadn’t attacked at all, it didn’t matter.
After that happened, I came out of the police station a little later with Choi Seo-hyun.
Except for the two people directly involved, me and Choi Seo-hyun and others left the police station first and walked downhill from the police station.
As I walked down that road, Seohyun Choi talked to me.
“Brother, it’s amazing… I was completely surprised earlier.”
As I walked beside Choi Seo-hyun, I listened to her words and asked back.
“Hmm? For what?”
“Just~, he just hit me with his fist, but my brother avoided it all. It was more amazing than what you see in the movie.”
“Haha, no. What?”
Everything is relative
I was able to see it all and dodge it, since he had never been properly trained in martial arts and just punched me.
And in the case of the older brother who hit me, if the other person looked incredibly strong, I wouldn’t have used violence first, but I feel sorry for that.
It seems that there are many cases that are probably inherent in human nature.
If you look weaker than yourself, you try to crush them somehow, and if you’re younger than me, how dare you piss me off, it seems that there are many cases where you try to forcefully attack even the slightest annoyance.
Of course, there are good people, but I think there are more people who are not.
Especially I felt it a lot in the army.
When I was in the military, I was able to check the reactions of many people who go through similar stressful things in a closed space.
The company had a little over 100 people.
Among them, I think there were only a handful of people who could be called good people from my point of view.
One two… Three…
The first person that comes to mind is… Three?
Of course, that doesn’t mean that more than 97% of the rest are evil, but at least there were more evil people than good people.
There were all the stars of the stars.
The guy who beat up his successor who couldn’t fight better than himself because he said that his successor was an officer and flattered him more.
The guy who punched the back of his successor who couldn’t fight better than he who sat in front of him during mental training class to listen more clearly.
A guy who raised only 2 or 3 of his own henchmen and kept the rest of his henchmen like crazy dogs.
The one who intensively targeted easygoing guys, pulverized them like a maniac, and increased his strength through scapegoats.
There were so many of these guys.
Many were villains.
I didn’t know when I was in school.
Because school was a classless place.
It is true that there is a certain degree of power abuse as the class is divided into friends who are good at fighting and friends who are not good at fighting, but it seems to get worse after I become an adult.
First of all, when I was a student, I was still a student with the same identity.
However, once they become adults, their identities are divided.
That was the biggest difference between the military and students.
That identity is divided.
That’s right.
Come to think of it, yes.
The moment identities are divided, evil seems to erupt.
When you and I were equal, there was absolutely no room for such evil to erupt, but from the moment I thought I was on top, I didn’t feel like I was evil at all, but I might be unconsciously exercising evil, like drinking and filming.
So, wouldn’t the crazy guys in the army not even apologize for a single word to the people they bullied when they were discharged?
Because he may not know that he has done evil.
Just because the class is higher, you think that you have treated the other person according to your own class, but you may not know whether it is an asshole or abusive behavior.
In the end, identity matters.
No matter how filthy a person is, even if he can fight against a senior officer who has a higher status than himself, so in terms of the military… You can’t do the opening act like you do to your successor.
And even if you don’t feel this status now, it definitely exists in an intangible form.
Perhaps, in the case of the person who exercised violence this time, he may have exercised violence with a concept derived from his status as a student, good at fighting and bad at fighting.
When the principle carried over in the early days, he might have obeyed me if I had beaten him to 80 or so, pounded him into the ground, and made him bubble.
She might have realized that her perception of who she was was wrong if she had landed the wrong way and hit me with her punches, which I was bracing.
I didn’t even bother to do that, though.
And, there was also a figure in which he showed awareness of his social status after that.
That was his reaction after the police uncle appeared.
Suddenly pretending to be nice…
It was a part that showed that there was another status system that he could recognize, who had been aware of the hierarchy of status through force.
During the investigation at the police station, it turned out that he was preparing for civil servants. He is already a civil servant and has accumulated a certain amount of annual leave.
I think this world is dirty.
Maybe it would have been better if I didn’t know anything.
It’s because when I don’t know anything, I can just act as I want without thinking, and I can quickly forget those dirty scenes.
However, the more you learn about the principles of this world, the more difficult it is to forget them.
‘It has to be positive.’
‘Be considerate of others.’
‘The people are the owners of the country.’
‘There are no nobles in the profession.’
Will there ever come a world where these words become reality, not just words?
As I grew older and applied those words that I took for granted to the world, I realized that many hypocrites only say those words with their mouths and do not translate them into actions.
The world I saw as a child was just as bright.
There was a childhood where boring brightness continued.
At that time, sunlight, soil, plants, insects, trees, grass, streams, stones… I played around with these things.
In the world I saw at that time, my dad with a sense of humor made me laugh once in a while, my mom who took care of me bought me a lot of delicious food, my grandparents never got angry, my relatives were harmonious, and my neighbor hyung It was fun to play with friends and family.
It was a bright world.
Most of my school days were like that.
There was a lot of time buried in studying, but at that time, the existence of friends was more important than family, and the world was fun because there were friends.
When I was talking about something with my friends, I didn’t have any worries.
In fact, when I was directly serving in the military, I couldn’t see people based on the principled side of that status.
At that time, if there is a guy who just does crazy things, oh, that bastard, he’s a bastard.
I thought so.
But now that I think about it, this world is the field of status itself.
I thought about that and made a commitment to live harder.
Just as we raise an army not to invade somewhere, but to prevent someone from attacking, my life is also more developed than it is now, not because I want to show off by hurting someone, but to prevent someone from beating me up. I wanted to.
After coming down from the police station, I sent Choi Sheo-hyeon away.
Normally, I would have stopped at a cafe on the way out of a walk in the park, but after going to the police station and talking about this and that, time passed.
Coincidentally, on the downhill side from the police station, there was a large road right in front of it, so it was convenient to use public transportation.
I told Seohyun Choi about the taxi fare.
She declined, but since I’m printing hundreds of millions every few months, that amount of money is nothing, so she took care of it.
And Seohyun Choi got into her taxi, and I waved her hand at her.
“Go well~!”
“Yes, oppa! See you again!”
She said hello as she got into her car.
I don’t know when I’ll see you again.
Life seems to be like that.
When I don’t have a job or when I’m a student, I think I can pay more attention to relationships with people, but when I’m working on something, it’s hard to pay attention to other things when I’m immersed in it.
It’s the same with the friends I meet once in a while.
Even when we were in college, we would just go out together and drink often, but now that each of us has our own business, we do meet occasionally, but not as often as before.
I also feel a bit sorry for those things.
Work-life balance and well-being are getting a lot of attention these days, but the reality is not so great.
Most of them really have to get up at 6 or 7 a.M. And change their clothes for 13 hours a day until the evening, including commuting time, because they can earn at least enough money to survive.
In that sense, I think that all head of households, male or female, should be respected.
Work is hard
It is also because of identity.
There are bosses who can be abused at any time, and there are customers.
There is also an identity within the company.
In the company, you will have to adapt to that status again.
In addition, even if you leave work, you still have an identity outside the company.
I want to go higher
It seems that as I earn more money, I am learning that money can overcome the gap in social status.
While broadcasting, I meet a lot of guests, and among them, there may be cases where they treat me favorably because I am good-looking, but it could be because I am getting a lot of viewers.
Wherever you go in the world, you have an identity.
If so, I want to elevate my status.
It was a day when I realized that I did not want to go through anything bad with people with a higher status, even though I would not be put down just because they were of a lower status than me.
The taxi carrying Choi Seo-hyun moved away among the many cars on the main road.
After sending her away, I wanted to eat her jajangmyeon, so I decided to go to her jajangmyeon house and take one of her jajangmyeon.
– Jeobeok, Jeobuck…
I walked through a lot of people.
Most of them are now preparing for civil service exams.
What kind of people will everyone become in the future?
Whatever their status, I hope they don’t become the type of people who wield the power of their status at their subordinates like a sword dance and dry their blood.
I went to a jajangmyeon restaurant and ate the packaged jajangmyeon at home and walked towards the jajangmyeon restaurant, thinking of thinking about the next broadcast together.
