22. Sequencing I didn’t know about, and finally met the Internet
◈◈◈
Entering her room, Yoon-hee closed the door and began to look at the contact information stored on her smartphone.
Yoon-hee, who found a contact saved under the name ‘Lee Hee-je’ in the recently saved list, touched her phone number to make a call.
A woman’s voice came from the smartphone’s speaker before it beeped several times.
「… Hello.”
“Hello, that’s me.”
「… Is the new wave drama over?」
“Oh, have you been overhearing all the close family conversations without manners?”
「You are crying so hard to leave the world, how could I not hear you?」
“There must have been an option to hang up?”
「… ….」
Hee-je could not refute Yoon-hee’s sharp point.

Hee When I was silent, Yoon-hee opened her mouth with a fishy smile as if it had been caught well.
“Or… Do you like to listen secretly? I didn’t even dream of having such an insidious hobby.”
「… Ha, I don’t have any hobbies like that. I apologize for that part.”
Hui-je raised the white flag with a short sigh and spoke.
“Well, good. So, why did you call?”
「Why, why?」
This time, as if Hee-jae had asked her well, she shot at Yoon-hee.
“She called, startled by the news that she had gone out without an escort.”
「At first, I thought she went out with her guardian, but when I checked with Jinhyo over the phone earlier, it turned out that she went out alone.」
“… ….”
「Why did you say that? It’s not enough that you left Jinhyo alone at home. I don’t understand.”
While Hee-je harshly criticized Yoon-hee, she just listened in silence.
When Hee-je’s criticism, which had been pouring like a waterfall, was finally over, Yoon-hee confidently replied as if nothing was wrong.
“I left my son alone at home because I thought it would be more dangerous to take him outside.”
「Didn’t you have the option of not leaving?」
“Yes, I didn’t. Because there is something that needs to be done quickly for her son.”
「What happened to that?」
“Ha? Am I right now?
Why should I explain that to you?”
「… ….」
“And, how was your day out?”
「What? Now that-“
“A man went out voluntarily, isn’t it something to be praised for?
I can’t praise you, but you threatened my son with that? Are you insane Do you dare to suppress men’s free will? Can you do anything?”
「… That’s not it, without an escort-“
“Yes, going out unescorted was certainly careless. So I also paid attention to that part to my son.
By the way, our complex is basically a second-level residential area in the safety zone.
In terms of escort, it is an area where there is no issue with the Protection of Men Act. It’s not your question. Or did the law change without me knowing?”
「… ….」
Hee-je couldn’t refute Yoon-hee’s logical words.
Yoon-hee, who had been explaining each and every thing like that, asked Hee-jae, wondering if she couldn’t stand it.
“And, who are you to ask me for that?”
「… Yes?”
“Who are you, I asked if you were arguing with me.”
「…… !”
“Who are you? Are you really okay with anything?”
「Gee, what now—」
“It looks like you’re misunderstanding something,
Because you don’t have the right to meddle with us?
After all, you’re just an extramarital woman. But how dare you treat my son like that? Did my son pass it on because he was nice, or did I not?
Are we funny? Uh? Are we happy?”
「… !!」
“And I said I would take your opinion positively, but I haven’t accepted it yet.”
「That, that… !”
“Noisy. I’m going over this time, listen carefully. I’m a person who hates to say it twice.”
As if this was her last warning, Yoonhee sternly sternly raised her voice.
“If you mess up just one more time, that’s it. Okay?”
「… ….」
Yoon-hee gives a sharp warning.
Even after Yoon-hee finished talking like that, nothing was exchanged between the two for a long time.
Only the sound of their small breathing could be heard intermittently.
There was a heavy silence for a long time, and it was Yoon-hee who spoke first.
“If you have nothing to say, I’ll hang up.”
「…… I’m really sorry.”
Just as Yoon-hee was about to end her call, Hee-jae’s voice was heard.
However, Hee-je was speaking in a very weak voice, not his usual dignified voice.
「I… I was off topic. Really… I was really wrong.”
“… ….”
「Please forgive me just once. So please… I want you to dispel your anger.”
“… Ha.”
At Hee-je’s apology, which even felt her subservience, Yoon-hee let out a short sigh and said,
“I was so excited. I just went too far.”
「… No. It was all right. I was too presumptuous.”
“Ha, I see.”
「If you don’t mind, I’d like to visit you right now and kneel down to apologize. So-“
“Because I know! It’s okay, so go there.”
「… ….」
Seeing Hee-jae’s servile appearance, which was unexpectedly too low-key, Yoon-hee touched her forehead to see if her hair was getting thick.
“My apologies are enough, so stop talking about this and let’s talk about that.”
「…… All right.”
“When will the announcement be answered?”
「I decided to do it tonight. I will try to schedule it as quickly as possible.”
“If the government makes an official announcement, I will make the next announcement.”
「Yes? Announcement?」
“This time, because of her son, she will be taking a break from her acting career. I have finished talking with the agency.”
Hee-je, who heard Yoon-hee’s words, thought for a moment, then opened her mouth with a sorry look on her face.
「…… Oh, so going out… !
I don’t know if that’s the case… ! Excuse me!」
“It’s natural that you don’t know, so I understand. So, the apology is over. Anyway, you can understand the reason for our announcement without explaining it, right?”
「…… Yes, I understand. If reporters pry it out, it will be exposed anyway, so you intend to just reveal everything so that there is no strange noise.”
“Excellent. That’s right.”
「That is a very good plan. She is also Jinhyo-sama’s mother.”
“… Ha.”
「…… !!」
At the words of Hee-je, who was boarding the plane with a very crooked attitude, Yoon-hee let out a sigh.
Upon hearing Yoon-hee’s sigh, Hee-je’s heart skipped a beat.
「I-If I could be rude…… 」
“It’s not even an excuse, but I feel sorry for you because you seem so downhearted.”
「… I-I’m sorry.”
“Calm up. Because it’s okay.”
「No. How dare I…….」
“Ehh….”
「… ! That! We will do our best not to cause any inconvenience.”
Unwillingly, Yoon-hee, who judged that she had been gaslighted, felt her heart grow thicker.
And on the other hand,
That confident child really likes our son so much that she even bends her pride!
I was feeling proud and proud.
‘This is serious enough. It won’t be fixed for a while.’
That’s how Yoon-hee thought to herself and smiled bitterly. Because she had already decided that she was helpless.
So for a while,
One side was perplexed and the other side was burdened, and the conversation went on and on.
◈◈◈
After receiving the laptop, I ran to the living room, put it on the table, and hurriedly turned it on.
I was very moved when the familiar blue background unfolded on the laptop screen.
Big, yes! It’s this screen!
Feeling happy with the blue background, I first checked the laptop specifications.
Confirmation of specifications is essential.
“Oh, the laptop specs are pretty good.”
It wasn’t as good as a gaming laptop, but it was satisfactory enough.
Satisfied with the specifications, I started the Internet window first.
When I opened the window, a familiar search portal appeared, mostly decorated in green.
When I saw it, I felt joy.
Finally, a normal computer! And you are using the normal Internet! I said.
The computer I was specially allowed to use at the shelter was a male-only computer.
True to its name, it was a male-only computer, and everything was censored, and even the Internet was a computer that could not even enjoy surfing the web properly, as if it used a special engine.
Words are computers, but they are just machines and Internet-connected men’s books.
But now, the longed-for
Uncensored internet access!
What a wonderful thing!
I looked at the Internet window with emotion beyond words.
I muttered in amazement at the search portal that said “LAVER” Instead of the “N” I knew.
“As expected… Is it a parallel world? It’s mostly the same as the previous world, only with a slightly different name.”
I felt relieved at that familiarity.
After all, isn’t familiarity the best?
I manipulated the touchpad to activate the search bar and thought about what to search for.
“What shall I search first?
Mmm, yes! I was curious about what kind of games there are in this world, shall we search for them first?”
I typed ‘Popular Game Ranking’ in the search box and clicked the Search button.
After all, there is no game to play, and there is no such search word to search for a game.
“MOBA… FPS… Sports… mobile…
Wow, really, not much has changed from your previous life, right?”
I felt strange again that the games I had played in my previous life existed with similar names in this world.
In addition, the popular game rankings were also kept in a similar position.
Even though the world has changed, the status of the game hasn’t changed. It’s amazing.
And on the other hand, I felt disappointed.
It was because there was a small wish that a game of a different genre would become popular.
While looking at the game rankings, the first thing I clicked on was a sports game.
The name of the game is ‘VIVA Online 7’.
It was a little different, but it was an online soccer game with a very familiar name.
When I entered the game homepage, the first thing that greeted me was a picture of a foreign soccer player cheering with his mouth open.
“Of course, soccer is also a female player.”
After muttering that anew, I went to the ‘Game Introduction’ and tried to look at the game information.
When I clicked on the game introduction, what greeted me was the login window, not the information about the game.
Oh, you’re annoying.
Naturally, I didn’t have an ID, so I moved the mouse cursor and clicked the sign up button.
But since it wasn’t a game that I particularly liked, I thought there was no need to go through the trouble of signing up.
So I was about to press the back button, but then the methods of signing up for membership caught my eye.
[Sign up as a member by email]
[Member registration with ChestBook]
[Sign up as a member with Doodle]
[Register as Laver]
……
Here, too, I saw familiar names.
What caught my eye the most was the chest book.
Is it because the world is full of women?
It’s not a face book, it’s a heart book…
“Pu-hu-hu. It’s fun, it’s fun This is what the agents sometimes said. Fu-hu-hu.”
I burst into laughter as I recalled the conversation the agents had at the shelter.
More than that, membership registration in this world is usually linked to email.
Just in advance, yes… No, should I sign up for Laver?
I pressed the home button on the Internet window to return to the green raver homepage.
When I found the member registration button on the Laver homepage and pressed it, a familiar consent window popped up.
After clicking accept all, I canceled only the promotion and advertising agreement and clicked the OK button.
A window to enter information such as ID, password, and name came to mind, and I slowly started filling in the blanks.
Once the ID is…
Shall I use the ID I used in my previous life?
Hmmm, that won’t work. The ID had the initials of my name in my previous life.
Don’t use that ID just in case you don’t know.
After thinking about the ID like that,
I just decided to use a combination of my current name initials and birthday.
Jh1226…
OK, now hit check for duplicates.
Ah, that’s a duplicate.
Eh, let’s just type in English.
Jinhyo1226…
Oh, fortunately there are no duplicates.
Password is… Do with this
Name and date of birth…
Okay.
Cell phone?
Oops, I don’t have a cell phone…
Oh, fortunately you can enter a phone number as well.
…… Oh?
This is a bit unusual.
The default gender is female, isn’t it?
Is it because there are few men?
I pressed the gender option to change from female to male and then pressed the OK button.
When I pressed the OK button, countless notification windows began to fill the laptop screen.
And I was taken aback by the warning window at the top.
┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼
※!Warning!※
You have selected ‘male’ as your current gender. If you select the wrong gender, please close the window and correct it immediately.
-Comply with the Labor Protection Act policy.-
If you sign up as a member by stealing a male identity, your company is not responsible for anything that happens….
┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼
Wow, the notification window is brutal.
At a cursory glance, the legal problems that arise when a male identity is stolen and the punishments that follow are described in detail.
Wow…
Imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of up to 100 million won for identity theft alone is disrespectful.
But, since I’m a proud man, that doesn’t apply!
I turned off all warning windows and proceeded with membership registration.
From noble mtl dot com
And the resident registration number input window, which is the last section of membership registration.
Here too, countless warning notification windows with bloody words came to my mind, but I ignored them because there were none.
I entered the Republic of Korea resident registration number issued in this lifetime and pressed the member registration confirmation button.
Then,
What popped up on the internet window was not the member registration completion window…
【Identification process is in progress.】
……
What do you mean?
A confirmation procedure?
And a few minutes later…
Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~
“Who are you?”
「I came from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.」
“… Yes? The police department?”
My mother was checking her intercom with a puzzled look on her face.
… Is this what the police are calling?
the levels of catfishing over there must be insane enough for severe fraud 💀
Calling the police to register for a website 💀
