Amplification-2

“Are you going to offer your body or something?”

“Wow… you have such an innocent face, but your words are so strong? You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“I’m asking you. Are you going to seduce me with your body?”

“Seduce? No, nothing like that. I’m just suggesting a reasonable deal. I was going to ask you to help me get back on air.”

“That’s your body?”

“No, it’s not? Just things like the text messages you’ve sent me so far? If you put them together right, you could sue me for sexual harassment.”

“Sexual harassment?”

“Think about it. A middle-aged man keeps sending messages to a young woman asking her to meet, and he sends her pictures of his naked body… Isn’t that enough to sue him?”

“But even if I sue, I won’t get much benefit. So I was going to make a deal to get rid of them.”

“You’re really saying that now…”

The way she smirks and looks at me is so absurd.

What is this crazy bitch talking about?

Just taking off her clothes and making money, a whore…

Deceiving her father to make money, laughing at her father and hurting him…

Now she’s going to threaten her father again?

My fist clenches for a moment.

I want to swing this Barbell bag and crush that horrible face.

Should I? I can do it. There’s no one around…

But, did this woman come here without any insurance?

Did she tell anyone she was coming here?

Let’s watch a little longer.

I want to crush her right away, but I can’t move rashly.

As always, I’ll only do it when I can handle it for sure.

I try to relax my stiff face and continue cleaning.

I wipe the soot off the floor and wipe the sweat off the equipment with a rag.

I gather the scattered plates and put them back in their place.

I put the Barbell lying on the floor on the rack and took off a 15kg plate next to it.

“So, when is he coming?”

She asks, watching me quietly.

“Did you forget what I said earlier? It’s the center’s closing time. You can’t meet him even if you wait here.”

“Really? Not meeting separately after this? Kang In-ho seems like he would.”

She narrows her eyes and questions me.

I roughly feel the intention of the question, and I bite my molars without realizing it.

Hold on. I have to hold on.

“It’s about time Kang In-ho started hitting on you, right? Didn’t he say anything? Like, let’s have a meal, or let’s go to a nice cocktail bar.”

She provokes me with a clearly mocking face.

I bit the inside of my cheek slightly and suppressed the instinct rising from my solar plexus.

“Please go back.”

I just wish she would go back.

Just leave me alone.

My head is already complicated with thoughts of my father… don’t make it harder for me.

“Ah? Could it be that you’re already tired of him?”

…What?

“No, why are you looking at me like that? You don’t meet at night, and judging by your reaction, he doesn’t seem to come often these days.”

“……”

“Wow, did Kang In-ho already find another Broadcasting Jockeys? Well, a dog can’t stop eating shit.”

“That’s not true.”

“What’s not true? Have you been meeting often these days? Hasn’t it decreased instead? It was like that with me too. He acted like he would give me everything, but when I didn’t give it to him, he cut off contact.”

“Then suddenly he pretends to be clean and sensible… In the end, he goes back to hitting on Broadcasting Jockeys again, you know? It’s funny.”

“Don’t insult my Boss.”

“Hey, innocent girl. I’m telling you because you don’t know this world well. Kang In-ho didn’t help you because he thought you were great. He just treated you well to eat you easily. Wake up. Quickly.”

She snaps her fingers in front of my eyes.

“Get out. Get out now.”

“Oh my, you’re acting like a tragic heroine. Did you think you were a princess in a movie or fairy tale? Wake up. They’re all being nice because they want something, okay?”

“Get out… get out…”

“Well, because you can’t catch that. He gets tired and runs away. I was too careful and ran away, and you don’t know too much and ran away. I feel sorry for our Kang In-ho. Is he going to go to a brothel to relieve himself?”

“Get lost!!”

“Why? Are you starting to see something because I’m telling you the facts? Oh, I made a wasted trip. If I knew you were out of the picture here, I would have just kept waiting around your house.”

“Boss isn’t that kind of person! Boss didn’t abandon me!!”

“Oh… I think you’re a little crazy? This sister knows him well because he was a pushover who paid money on my broadcast, okay? You’ve been abandoned. Got it?”

Abandoned? Me?

I’ve been abandoned?

Don’t be ridiculous.

“Wh-what is it. Why are you suddenly laughing and acting crazy. This is a crazy bitch.”

My father isn’t that kind of person. This bitch is trying to separate me and my father.

“H-hey, why are you picking that up like that.”

I’m right. You’re wrong. My father isn’t that kind of person.

He’s just busy and can’t come often. My father cherishes and loves me. I can prove it.

I’m going to prove it. I’m going to go home and ask him now.

Father, you’re not that kind of person, right? You didn’t abandon me, right?

“D-don’t come closer. What are you going to do with that.”

“Y-you crazy bitch!”

I’ll clean up this trash and go home right away.

So tell me. Tell me you didn’t abandon me.

If you just say that one word, I’ll listen to everything you say.

I’ll solve anything you were too shy to say.

Actually, I want my father too.

If my father feels the same way as me… I’d be so happy.

Garam suddenly swung the Barbell, and Hana, who was hit directly by the plate at the end of the Barbell, flew away and fell to the floor.

She didn’t lose consciousness because it was a slight miss, but on the contrary, she had to roll on the floor in tremendous pain because of it.

“Ah!… Ugh… It hurts…”

A pain so strong that tears wouldn’t come out was felt in her neck and shoulders.

In her fallen vision, she saw Garam’s old sneakers approaching while dragging the Barbell.

“D-don’t come…”

She instinctively tried to get away from her, but Hana was just crawling on the floor due to the impact just now.

In front of her, Garam separated the plate attached to the Barbell and then squatted in front of her.

“Now… open your mouth. This is quite thick, so you have to open it wide.”

A strong grip pressed down on her chin, and her mouth opened as it was, against her will.

Soon, something hard was put in her mouth.

It was the plate she had just removed.

“Uh..? Uh???”

Hana couldn’t guess what she was trying to do, but she immediately realized that something bad was going to happen.

A 15kg plate firmly fixed between her upper and lower teeth.

And Garam’s foot on her head before she knew it.

Hana screamed and struggled as she realized Garam’s intention, but it was useless in the face of Garam’s strength that transcended common sense.

“So… I told you to leave.”

With a smile that seemed resigned, Garam dropped to the ground and lifted her right foot and stepped on the back of Hana’s head as it was.

Crack.

The sound of something breaking echoed through the center.
