Episode 4 – Line of Hypocrisy (4)

The next morning, I was almost out of supplies. Jung Heewon stared at the convenience store bags as if she couldn't believe it.

"Oh my god, it is sold out?"

"Yes."

"Ha, really funny. Everyone was just watching and now..."

"Nope, it isn't just the marginalized group."

The guests who came in the middle of the night weren't just members of the marginalized group.

"Kim Dokja-ssi, you are making the worst choice."

Among them was Cheon Inho.

"You will regret it."

More than half the food I had was taken by the mainstream group. Of course, they paid the exact amount.

Jung Heewon was in a rage after hearing the story.

"Wait a minute. Then the mainstream group will just monopolize the food again?"

"Something like that."

"No, what is this? Weren't you going to weaken the power of the mainstream group by promoting transactions among the people?"

It was unexpected insight. I responded with a bit of admiration.

"That's correct. That was the intent. I wanted people to move voluntarily."

"Then why did you sell food to the mainstream group? The situation won't change!"

"It has changed. I have obtained coins."

"Huh?"

It was 1,450 coins. It was a huge income for one night.

"No...what is Dokja-ssi thinking? Sangah-ssi, can we really trust this man?"

Yoo Sangah flinched as attention suddenly turned to her but then she smiled brightly.

"I believe in him."

It was burdensome.

"Dokja-ssi, did you leave enough food for yourself?"

"Nope, I sold it."

Jung Heewon's mouth fell open as if she was dumbfounded. At that time, someone poked my cheek. I turned my head and found a biscuit.

"Huh? You want me to eat it?"

Nod nod. The head moved cutely. I smiled, took the biscuit and put it in Lee Gilyoung's mouth.

"I'm okay. You eat it. Ah, I should tell you something... everyone, do you still have the food you ate yesterday?"

"Yes, I have it."

"I have a bit left."

"Why? Do you want to buy it back? I will sell it." Jung Heewon waved the biscuit in a playful manner.

"No, you should eat it now."

"Huh?"

"Eat it all before today. You should do it." I repeatedly stressed. "Or you will regret it."

"Why...no, wait a minute. Sangah-ssi, what are you doing now? Why are you listening to him?"

"There is a reason why Dokja-ssi would say this."

Yoo Sangah smiled sweetly and opened a bag of biscuits. Lee Hyunsung was confused but ate the food. Meanwhile, Lee Gilyoung had eaten it the moment I spoke. He was a good listener.

"Ah well...I will leave one back."

"I won't stop you."

I shrugged at Jung Heewon's words. It was up to her to regret it.
