I’m not good at writing at home, so it’s been a while since I came to a cafe to write.

He is holding a MacBook, which is often jokingly called a cafe entrance ticket on the Internet.

At first, I thought it was a very difficult OS to use because I was wandering around, but recently I’ve gotten used to it to the point where I can just use it.

I think it’s an expensive product for no reason, so I feel like I should keep using it.

Clap clap…

The first floor has a noisy atmosphere, so it’s good because no one pays attention to the sound of typing on a laptop.

They say there’s a lot of talk these days about people who are part of the Kagong tribe or something.

So, I order a drink every 30 minutes and drink it all the time.

As expected, sweets are the best.

Maybe it’s because the coffee is sweet, but cakes and other snacks don’t attract much attention.

This time, let’s try Americano.

Even if I eat something too sweet, I get bitten, which is not good.

I picked up the cup, placed it on the return area, took a card out of my pocket, and headed to the counter.

However, a woman who was presumed to be part-timer looked at me and started to get a little embarrassed.

Has your part-time job changed?

I heard that in the case of cafes, part-time jobs change quickly.

“Iced Americano shot, please give me a venti.”

“Sha…it costs 6,100 won with the added shot.”

“Here.”

I slightly held out my card, but the part-time worker snatched it away and inserted the card into the reader.

I guess I’m not used to it.

I also understand why it is difficult to talk to people you meet for the first time.

You will be quite nervous and scared.

“Are you okay?”

“Trigram…It’s okay.”

Well, if you say it’s okay, it’s probably okay.

Because it’s not something I care about.

The coffee came out quickly anyway, so I waited for a while.

Iced Americano is made by extracting espresso, pouring it into cold water and ice, and placing it in a glass cup.

The drinks came out and I was about to take them…

The part-time worker put something on the tray.

“Um…over there. Eat this too!”

“Uh…thank you.”

What she put on the tray were cookies sold at the cafe.

It was a popular cookie because it was sweet and moist.

Service… isn’t it?

I’m glad I didn’t give it and run away like other people did.

I received several snacks earlier.

I gave it to him and ran away, so I couldn’t even say thank you, so I just put it in my bag.

“Eat this, and give the rest to Minji and the editor.”

If you eat it all, you may develop diabetes.

As expected, women are scared… They give us dozens of sweet snacks like this.

By the way, it seems like the part-timer who paid the bill earlier is still looking this way.

When they see them eating snacks, their eyes become bright and they look really happy.

Are you happy to eat cookies?

Maybe he’s the one who made the snacks.

No, the snacks in these cafes are made and delivered from factories.

I don’t know why.

“Hmm… Here’s the next development…”

The story I am writing now is a bit childish.

Lee Jae-hwan, the male protagonist, accidentally breaks the bathroom and ends up going into the women’s bathroom.

The male protagonist realizes that he entered the wrong bathroom.

Naturally, if this fact becomes known, the police will come and it is certain that they will be arrested, so they look for various ways to escape.

However, since the female protagonist is a woman from a world where men and women are reversed, she is the type that does not care much about a man accidentally entering the women’s bathroom.

The male protagonist, who does not know this, hears the female protagonist’s voice and hides in the only two toilet stalls on the floor.

For reference, the remaining space is broken.

Naturally, this is a situation where the female protagonist has to wait in front of the room the male protagonist enters.

“And the female protagonist had an upset stomach from the cockle bibimbap she ate earlier… so she peeked into the quiet, unresponsive toilet stall…”

at there!

You get to witness the male protagonist!

Ugh… The framework of the new work itself is a typical romantic comedy, but the mere fact that the men and women are swapped makes it incredibly interesting.

I don’t know if the publisher or platform is doing viral marketing, but there are people spreading the word around regardless of male or female communities.

Is that why?

Although only about 20 episodes have been published, calls for a webtoon are already growing louder.

Reporters are also coming in one after another, saying that it would be fun to make it into a drama, and even asking the community to leave an email if they know more details and would like to report on it.

It’s fun because it seems like things are getting bigger than I thought.

“I was scared at first…”

Of course, it was scary only at first.

I guess it makes me feel good that people are talking about me and wondering if I have a knack for it.

“Whoa.. I have to go to the bathroom.”

I felt like my bladder was going to explode after drinking 6 venti-sized drinks in 3 hours.

It’s amazing that I’ve even sat down and typed until now.

“But where is the bathroom here?”

Have cafes these days reached an agreement not to make their bathrooms intuitive?

There is only a sign on the door that prohibits entry except for administrators.

I can’t help it.

It’s embarrassing, but I guess I’ll go ask that part-timer earlier.

“Hey…”

“What…How can I help you?”

When I spoke to him again, he became embarrassed and dropped the coin he was holding.

I dropped it this way, so I quickly picked it up and placed it in her hand.

“Thank you!”

“No. This is it….Where is the bathroom?”

“Ah…! To find the restroom, turn around and go inside!”

“Thank you. There is no such thing as a password, right?”

“Yes!”

Well, it’s not even a shopping mall, so there’s no way there’s a password.

But why was the toilet put inside there?

*

When I entered the bathroom, I could hear jazz-like music and smelled like air freshener.

Is it because it is a men’s restroom that is well maintained, or is the manager telling the part-time workers to clean hard?

“Oh, there’s no urinal?”

Since common sense has changed, there are secretly bathrooms without urinals.

I don’t know why urinals are being removed just because it’s strange for a man to poop while standing, but I’ve seen news here and there that people are talking about getting rid of urinals and increasing the number of toilets.

Is there an aversion to just standing and looking?

Men in a world where common sense between men and women are reversed think that it is possible.

If we assume that a woman can urinate while standing, let’s think about standing at the urinal.

No matter how much you think about it, isn’t it a bit strange?

“Okay. The urinal itself might be a little strange in the first place.”

It doesn’t matter to me because I’m used to sitting and lying down.

At home, I watch it while standing because it bounces around and is a hassle to clean, so I sit down to watch it.

“Ha….refreshing…”

I would have handled it in a cool way.

Let’s go out soon.

With that in mind, I cleaned up after myself and woke up…

People’s voices began to be heard outside.

And those are women’s voices.

It’s common for bathrooms to be next to each other, so of course you’d go into the bathroom next to it and move away…

I thought so?

Isn’t the voice getting louder?

Several people too.

The voices approaching, laughing loudly, are getting louder.

The structure of this toilet is straight.

I remember that there was a sink in the front and three toilet stalls lined up in a row.

But there are three voices in total!

Three people came to the bathroom… and of course the toilet…

Rattling rattling!!

A sound, as if a blue goblin was pulling the door, passed through my ears.

“Huh? Why is the door locked here?”

“Isn’t it broken?”

“No. Nothing is stuck.”

“Then who is there?”

“Hmm… Hey~ Are you inside by any chance?”

Uh…what should I do?

Should I react to this?!

If I react, I’m going to scream and make a fuss, right?!

Is life going to end like this?!

Ah…no.

When I think about it again, this is a world where men and women are reversed.

Aren’t the sexual values and chastity of men and women reversed?

Here, Sun-soon is asked to forgive him for reporting to the police that he entered the house by mistake.

Well…but are you going to listen to that?

Of course, it must be an unpleasant situation for those outside!

Haven’t I done that before too?

Didn’t you frown when you saw women at highway rest stops entering the men’s restroom because the women’s restroom was full?

Ah…what on earth…have I done…

“Hey~ Are you inside?”

“I don’t think there is one? Just go up and have a look.”

“A. But what are you going to do if you’re running errands?”

That…yeah!

What are you going to do if a man is inside doing some business?

“Then that’s it. Isn’t the problem the person who didn’t answer?”

“Is that true too? Then…. Tskcha!!”

“Hiik!”

It seems that the woman who knocked on this compartment was a fagot.

She held on to the top of the door as tightly as an iron bar and slowly climbed up until she saw me sitting on the floor, sobbing.

Sick of that too.

At the same time, he pouted his lips, looked worried about something, and scratched his head with one hand.

Should I say it’s an expression that seems to roughly understand what’s going on?

And then.

The one word that came out of her mouth was a startling one.

“Hey. I think it’s broken here, right?”

“Then let’s see who ripped the paper.”

“So come out quickly. I’m going to pee.”

She smiled brightly and disappeared.

Ah… I lived.
