Choi, the secretary, stood behind, looking equally perplexed.
Before Sanha could even stand up, the door swung open, and a woman in her late fifties burst in, shouting.
“I told you I won’t tolerate this nonsense twice!”
Although she had an elegant demeanor and intelligent face, her gaze towards Sanha was ice-cold.
“I’m sorry, madam.”
The head nurse bowed her head.
The madam’s hand was raised, and a loud slap resounded.
The head nurse, squeezing her eyes shut, opened them slightly to see a large figure.
Sanha’s cheek was now red.
“It’s not their fault. I insisted on seeing Haeil. It’s my fault.”
The madam, initially taken aback by Sanha’s slapped cheek, soon glared at him more fiercely and shouted.
“I told you not to come here anymore! Would Haeil want to see you? Who put him in this condition? Seeing you would only make his blood boil!”
“He’ll wake up out of spite.”
“What?”
“Haeil will definitely wake up, even if just to prove you wrong. And I’ll keep coming here, no matter what you say.”
“Shut up!”
Enraged, the madam pushed and punched Sanha violently.
The onlookers screamed in shock, but he didn’t flinch.
“Leave! Get out now!”
In a frenzy, she even threw the sushi at Sanha.
“Leave! Leave this instant!”
Shouting like a madwoman, she eventually pushed him out of the room.
“Don’t come back! If you do, I won’t let you off!”
She slammed the door shut.
“Director.”
Choi hurried over to help clean up Sanha.
He looked at Sanha’s reddened face, unsure of what to do.
“It’s okay.”
“How can this be alright…?”
“I said I’m fine. But how can I make it up to the nurses?”
The head nurse replied, “We’re okay.”
“I always seem to cause trouble.”
“Not at all.”
“I’m sorry. And thank you, really.”
Sanha bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
“I guess I should leave for today. I’ll come back next time.”
“Okay.”
Sanha glanced back at the room regretfully before walking down the corridor, followed by a gloomy Choi, the secretary.
“This is good. They do a great job here.”
Yeoreum was stuffing her mouth with Jajangmyeon when she noticed faces looking at her through the glass window.
An employee from the next store, shocked at the sight of Yeoreum eating, hurriedly called someone.
Soon, other nearby store employees gathered, whispering and pointing at Yeoreum.
The two employees who had gone to the restroom rushed back in a panic.
“What are you doing!”
They shouted as they entered the store.
“See for yourself, I’m eating. I’m hungry too.”
“Clean this up right now!”
A woman approached to grab the bowl, but Yeoreum was quicker, grabbing the woman’s wrist.
“Ow, that hurts!”
The woman twisted and turned, not knowing what to do.
“Why are you trying to take someone’s food? Even dogs aren’t disturbed while eating, let alone people.”
She pretended to let go but pushed the woman away.
The woman stumbled and sat down in shock.
Another employee quickly pulled out their phone.
“The pickles here are good too.”
More staff gathered outside the window, murmuring among themselves.
The manager hurried over, and upon entering, she too shouted.
“Are you crazy? What do you think you’re doing!”
Chewing her mouthful of noodles, Yeoreum responded.
“Crazy? I’m just eating.”
Her smile only seemed to infuriate the manager more.
“Why are you just standing there? Call security and drag her out!”
An employee rushed to the counter and picked up the phone.
Soon, three burly men in black suits entered.
They looked incredulous at Yeoreum but moved to grab her.
“Hold on.”
Yeoreum raised her hand, and they hesitated.
“You must think I’m a troublemaker. I understand.”
They furrowed their brows, not understanding her.
“But there’s something you need to know. I’m not a troublemaker, but a normal customer protesting the unreasonable behavior of the Brioung staff. So, if any of you touch me, I’ll have to sue you for sexual harassment.”
She looked each of them in the eye, continuing her calm yet powerful speech.
“I don’t want to fight with you, who are innocent in this. This is a matter between me and those three Brioung employees.”
Her actions were outrageous, but her voice was too calm.
That made it more effective.
“What are you waiting for? Drag her out now!”
The manager screamed, but the word ‘sexual harassment’ had already been mentioned.
Besides, the security team could see her actions weren’t just an empty threat.
They looked around, unsure of what to do.
“What are you doing? Drag her out now! Should I call the police? Do you all want to be disciplined as a group?”
The manager, now turning her ire towards the security team, waved her hand frantically, raising her voice.
“Just call the police.”
She turned away.
Yeoreum was nonchalantly munching on pickles.
“Why harass these indecisive people? Just call the police yourself.”
The infuriated manager finally took out her phone.
“The bigger this gets, the better for me. It’d be great if it makes the news, and even better if it reaches Brioung’s head office through the internet. That would be a real thumbs up for me.”
At these words, the manager flinched.
“……Get out of here now!”
“I’ve already laid out my place here. Do you think I’d just leave? I can’t.”
“Hey!”
“And what about you? Weren’t you going to report to the police? Shall I do it for you? Shall I?”
The manager looked furious but just fumbled with her phone, shaking.
At that moment, the employees outside the window hastily moved aside and bowed their heads.
Suddenly, a man who appeared to be in his late twenties showed up.
Tall, with a perfect suit, he seemed like someone who could take charge of the situation.
“Look, someone’s here.”
The manager, who was trembling in rage, had her eyes widen in shock upon seeing the man.
She hurriedly bowed her head as the young man entered.
“……Director.”
Yeoreum realized someone even higher up had arrived.
