chapter 24
24 – 24. In Campus (5)
“Whoa…”
The sighing increases.
I don’t even remember how many times this is.
A serious level of verbal assault that cannot be defined even by the word s*xual harassment.
It wasn’t like that from the beginning.
No, rather, at first, I perceived him as a very nice person.
A professor respected by everyone.
A professor who is popular with students.
A star professor who shares knowledge on YouTube in a non-serious tone.
She learned a lot, realized a lot, and gained a lot from Professor Kim In-tae’s class.
And then the opportunity came.
Opportunity for an undergraduate teaching assistant.
Opportunity to become a teaching assistant directly under Professor Intae Kim.
Yun Seon was very interested in South America.
A continent of passion and romance.
Although it is experiencing political turmoil and suffering from the gap between rich and poor, lack of education, poverty, and drugs, I still believe that its beautiful country is not inferior to any other country.
So she applied to be an undergraduate teaching assistant.
To do what you want to do,
To learn more from someone I respect.
But in reality, that was not the case.
Things that were not visible because they were far away began to become visible as we got closer.
His self-righteousness, discrimination, bias, abusive language, and immorality and corruption.
He was an authority in South America.
Among them, the understanding of Mexico was particularly high.
It is not easy for an authority figure to get a title.
I bowed my head at a so-called successful mid-sized company and asked for guidance on the key to success.
Even large corporations reached out to Professor Kim In-tae while respecting his values as much as possible.
Who are the students who saw that?
We gathered around Professor Kim to gain anything, whether it be knowledge, credits, or employment.
And in the process, Kim Yun-seon saw.
How dirty a man with the social status of a professor can be.
It must have been about a month since I became a teaching assistant.
I took a paper test that was reflected in the midterm exam score, and I found out that high scores were given to female students who did not take the test.
If points are given out by mistake, issues of equity and fairness may be raised.
As a teaching assistant, Yun Seon had to tell the truth to her respected professor in order to erase his mistake.
So she visited the professor’s office.
And then something happened.
The moment Yoon Seon approached the professor’s office door to knock, the door burst open and a female student came out of the professor’s office.
Kim Yun-seon was startled when she saw her female student suddenly pop out, but that wasn’t her real surprise.
Inside the professor’s office, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
Professor Kim In-tae, who was honest, kind, and passionate about learning, was sitting on a chair behind her desk, tilting her head back and moaning in joy.
Instead of ankles that should have been visible under the desk, wrinkled pants and a belt were visible.
Yunseon was so shocked that she covered her mouth, but the female student just smiled proudly and went on her way.
Professor Kim In-tae, who sensed her strangeness, pulled her head to look in front of her, and her eyes met Yun-seon, who was covering her mouth.
However, Professor Kim In-tae was not as surprised as her female student, and she only said one word to teaching assistant Kim Yun-seon.
“Did you see it?”
The female student,
She was a female student who did not take the written test.
And after that incident, Professor Kim In-tae’s verbal assault, similar to s*xual harassment, continued.
“What should I do?”
Yun Seon has witnessed similar situations several times since then.
One time, Professor Kim In-tae called me to work after I finished the work.
She forced herself to turn her head and get out of her professor’s office, but she couldn’t forget the sarcastic look in her female student’s eyes inside her.
Of course, this girl was not the same girl last time.
“..Are all powerful men like that?”
He is a powerful man.
Yoon Seon suddenly remembered Director Seo Woo Jin, whom she had just met.
He was a little different.
In the cafeteria, the person who suddenly came to you and said he was sorry.
It was an unexpected answer.
I was rather embarrassed by his good-natured appearance.
“..No. “It must be a pretense.”
Seo Woo Jin will ultimately be the same person.
No, if you do more, you will do more, not less.
Because he is a chaebol.
Because he is a man who inherited the bloodline of Seohwa Group.
At first, I heard that someone from Seohwa Group was visiting, so I thought it was just that.
However, since his position was Head of Division and his last name was the same as that of the founder, I searched it on a portal site and found that he was indeed from a conglomerate family.
He didn’t have sunglasses, but since he was a chaebol, he tried not to talk too deeply.
But he hesitated to tell the story because he seemed strangely mannered.
Professor Kim In-tae left a lot of time designated for him to come, and there was also a reason why Director Seo Woo-jin asked too many questions.
“No matter what. “They must be the same person.”
In the end, powerful people will unite.
We will live by looking after each other’s backs, secretly hiding and covering up bad deeds, pushing, and pulling.
And the damage will be borne entirely by the powerless.
I really hate it.
I don’t know how long I will have to work under Professor Kim In-tae.
However, he is a person who boasts great connections in this field.
It was obvious what would happen to him if he left here.
From now on, whenever you do something related to South America, you will be exposed to his influence and you will not be able to get what you want.
“Whoa…”
So,
The sighing increased again.
I had no idea how to get out of this hellish moment.
Knock knock.
“Yes??”
Yunseon was startled by the sudden knocking sound and stood up from her seat.
Soon the door to the teaching assistant’s room opened and a man came in.
A man who looks familiar.
It was the man who had just come with Director Seo Woo-jin.
“My name is Han Dong-su. “I saw you briefly earlier, right?”
“Yes. But for what reason..?”
“Would you like to listen to this?”
Dongsu shows off his cell phone.
Yunseon looked down at the phone with puzzled eyes.
Soon, Dong-su’s fingers moved, and the verbal abuse he had heard earlier came straight out of the cell phone.
“How do I do this?”
“And please check this too.”
Dongsu switching phone screens.
Although the content had only recently been posted on social media, the number of views and comments was enormous.
Most of the comments were filled with swear words that you couldn’t even bear to look at.
The content contained the same content I had just heard. However, the voice was modulated differently than just before.
Kim Yun-seon asked with shaking eyes.
“What the hell is going on?”
“What could happen? “I’m in the process of disposing of the garbage.”
“Yes?”
Dong-su said as he put his phone in his jacket pocket.
“Our director happened to hear Assistant Professor Kim being verbally abused by that scum. So, by making it public on social media in this way, he helped that scum voluntarily resign from his position as a professor.”
“Oh, no..? “No matter how much I heard verbal abuse, why is that…??”
I didn’t understand.
Do chaebols lose their sense of justice because they have nothing to do?
Isn’t that something from a fairy tale?
Ah. Are there no chaebols in fairy tales?
Anyway, didn’t Director Seo come down to Daejeon to recruit Professor Kim?
You’re throwing away a professor for s*xually harassing a teaching assistant who is like a speck of dust?
Does this make sense??
Han Dong-su nodded his head as if he understood.
“Actually, I was curious about that too, so I asked. “It may be upsetting, but is there any reason for you to do this?”
Assistant Kim Yun-seon opened her eyes wide and asked back.
“So what did you say?”
“Kill trash. That was my only thought from the beginning. “You said that?”
“Yeah?”
Han Dong-soo smiled faintly when he saw Assistant Kim staring blankly.
“It’s embarrassing, right? “There must be a reason, but you’re not telling me.”
“Well, like that..”
“So, please meet our general manager and ask him a question. “Really, why did you do that?”
“What is that..?”
Han Dong-su spoke with a polite expression.
“It means that our Director Seo would like to meet Assistant Professor Kim.”
# # #
Oh?
A sickly, impoverished woman.
It’s nice to see your face again.
It seemed true that the dark circles were caused by hearing strange noises from Professor Kim’s dog.
His expression brightened considerably when he heard from his fellow student that Professor Kim had become Baai Paisayonarajaichien.
Her I got up from her seat and greeted her.
“Hello. Assistant Professor Kim. “I see you again soon.”
“Ah, hello. Director Seo Woo-jin.”
“Please sit here. “I’ll buy you coffee this time.”
“Ah. Yes..”
In the same way as before, as soon as assistant Kim Yun-seon arrived, Park Geun-woo brought two cups of coffee from the ordering counter.
She looks a little surprised.
Yes. I paid some homage to it.
It is such an important position.
I said with a secret smile.
“Did you hear what my sister-in-law said? “This is a story about Professor Kim In-tae.”
“Yes, yes. Yes, I heard.”
Huh?
Now that I think about it, why is my voice shaking?
I think I started shaking as soon as I got to the cafeteria.
Were you embarrassed because I suddenly called you out?
Ah.
Are you afraid I might order something strange?
“Hey, Assistant Professor Kim?”
“Yes, four?”
“Are you uncomfortable in this position?”
“Well, that’s not it. I don’t understand why you called me. Ah. If??”
Assistant Kim Yun-seon gave me a look as if he had realized something, then he widened his eyes and continued speaking.
“That’s it! Because I want to uncover more of Professor Kim In-tae’s ugly side! Right? If that’s what you’re calling me for, I’ll be sure to help! “Even if it means my face is revealed on social media, I will help Director Seo in whatever he wants to do!”
“..Yes?”
“..Eh?”
We stared at each other for a few seconds.
Heh heh.
Assistant Kim Yun-seon Even if something is wrong, this person thinks in a wrong way for a long time.
“It’s not like that at all. Professor Kim In-tae will disappear from this school anyway. “I guarantee that.”
When I uttered the word ‘jom’, she pursed her lips.
It seems like the corners of your lips are trembling?
The eyes also seem to become slightly moist.
Why is it like that?
“..Then why did you call me?”
It seems like Assistant Kim’s mood has changed a bit, but I have to say what I have to say anyway.
I spoke as softly as possible so that Assistant Kim would not feel pressured.
“Would you like to work with me?”
