Gaeul's dad was dressing up with his suit on as he begin to drive his car towards to lawyer's house that is not from Toro village and it's not that far. Then he was speaking with the same lawyer that came to Gaeul's house just today as they sat down to drink some tea while manager lawyer is here with lawyer.
Mu Po: "I apologize for coming here as a ruckus unwelcome but I have a complainant here."
As he politely spoke while bowing down and he was already seated with two of lawyers.
Manager Lawyer: "It's okay, you are always welcome here."
"How can we help you?"
He asked.
Mu Po: "I'm Kim Mu Po and I am Gaeul's father."
"I think the punishment fined is unfair for my daughter."
He replied.
Manager Lawyer: "And why do you think that?"
He asked again.
Mu Po: "Gaeul did that to protect her friend."
"And why would she have $1,500 fined like a bounty for protecting her own friend?"
He asked back.
Manager Lawyer: "Look sir, smashing people's face with a lunch tray is illegal regardless of reason."
"So according to the cctv footage video, it's not like your daughter was being attacked or anything."
"So we wouldn't call that as a self defense."
As he replied with explanation properly.
Mu Po: "But she did that to protect her friend, that is called self defense though."
He argued.
Manager Lawyer: "I'm afraid that is still a school violence, you can't negotiate the lawyer like this."
He argued back.
Mu Po: "Wow, you guys make no sense at all."
He scoffed.
Mu Po: "I mean Haerin also bullied my daughter as well, she even groped her private part."
Manager Lawyer: "When was that?"
He asked, as he got into more attention.
Mu Po: "Like... Last weekend ago..."
"That's when they were not at school, Haerin was with her two friends bullying my daughter outside of Toro village."
"Haerin's friends can be a witness if I don't have evidence."
He replied.
Manager Lawyer: "You mean Haerin was the girl that your daughter smashed her face?"
He asked.
Mu Po: "That's right, do you think it's okay for anyone to grope my daughter's groin like this?"
"This is sexual harassment, this should be a crime."
