Chapter 187 – Maiden Contest

* * *

A large group of survivors who until recently were poor but full of energy.
However, after the large number of deaths, that liveliness has disappeared. Now, many people are worried about what might happen again or are depressed thinking about their dead partners.

Meanwhile, women, who had now become the absolute majority compared to men, gathered again on a dark night.
The meeting to decide on a ‘date’, which had now become a daily routine, was being held again.

“Thank you for gathering here again.”

Today too, organizer Seohee Yoon led the meeting.
And next to her was Joo Hee-kyung, who could be said to be the greatest speaker among the women.

Joo Hee-kyung has been one of the people who has been most strongly opposed to this ‘date’ event so far.
But after she went out on a date, he became her strongest advocate. It was such a brilliant change of attitude that even Udyr was taken aback when he saw it.

“As I said yesterday, I want to be as sincere as possible to him this time. He thinks we should keep our promises just as much as he has kept them.”

Cheol-won Yoon, a serial killer who terrified everyone by killing six people in this group alone.
‘He’ handled the request for Yoon Cheol-won on the same day. To repay the debt, Yoon Seo-hee promised that she would sacrifice her virginity this time.

“If you are interested in this date, especially if you are a virgin, please feel free to apply. “I will select you first.”

Murmur.
The gathered women exchanged opinions with each other, whispering to each other.

The women who went on this date all gave high praise. Thanks to this, people who are not particularly conservative were already applying, and there were many people who were interested even if they did not apply.

Because of this incident, Kang Chang-jae’s stock price hit its upper limit.
It was enough to turn away not only the women who were normally interested in this event, but also some women who had a negative view of it.

However, there were still strong opponents remaining within it.

“That again?”

Quiet self-talk.
However, in the quiet conference room, the sharp voice was easily heard by everyone.
The same was true for Yoon Seo-hee, who led the meeting.

“Mr. Moon Joo-yeon?”

Moon Joo-yeon, who was said to be attending law school on the outside.
She, along with Joo Hee-kyung, had previously been the one who most strongly opposed this event.

“What else are you complaining about?”

Yoon Seo-hee’s eyes were not kind when she looked at Moon Ju-yeon, who had always held her back.
Moon Ju-yeon flinched for a moment at the sight of those eyes, but she got up from her seat with an expression as if she had to say what she had to say.

“Yes. There is. The very idea of ​​having a meeting like this to choose her virginity to give to that man is dissatisfying. It’s not even the Goryeo Dynasty, so you’re sacrificing a virgin? “As a modern person, I think this is absolutely impossible.”

At Joo-yeon Moon’s words, the matrix created by Seo-hee Yoon shook.
Actually, if you think about it with common sense, it was nonsense. In return for her help, she offered up her virginity.
Even though it was a life-threatening issue, it was inevitable that some people would not accept it ethically.

However, Yoon Seo-hee couldn’t just step down.
Maybe the girl who was trying to apply after hearing Moon Joo-yeon’s words may change her mind. She had to prevent such a situation at all costs.

“Mr. Moon Joo-yeon. “Moon Joo-yeon’s younger brother was also killed by that man this time, right?”
“Why is that?”

In response to Yoon Seo-hee’s words, Moon Joo-yeon lifts her cracked glasses and asks her sharp question.

As Yoon Seo-hee said, her younger brother, who was Moon Joo-yeon’s partner, was also one of the victims of the serial killer.
Her brother and sister had not always been on good terms, so she was not saddened when she died, but she was shocked. Even though she didn’t get along well, the death of her family was not a light matter for Moon Joo-yeon.

“If ‘that person’ had joined our group, her younger brother might not have died.”
“Yes? What does that mean all of a sudden?”

Moon Joo-yeon’s voice became sharper as she mentioned her dead brother.
Yoon Seo-hee paid no heed and continued her story.

“I have been asking him to join this group for some time. But he already knew. The fact that some people are against him. So, for the sake of the peace of our group, he declined to join.”

More than half of Yoon Seo-hee’s words were lies, but there was no way for anyone to know that fact.

“This is the result. As soon as we commissioned him, he caught the criminal in less than an hour. If everyone had accepted him and he had been with us, he wouldn’t have had so many victims. Moon Joo-yeon, your younger brother too.”
“Ugh…”

Yoon Seo-hee’s remarks made it seem as if her damage increased because she opposed it.
Accusative glances fell on Moon Juyeon from all directions.

“Well, that’s the result! “If he had been in our group, he might have been killed first and we still haven’t caught the culprit!”
“Yes. As Joo-yeon Moon said, that is a result theory. But.”

Seohee Yoon looked around her.
As if this isn’t something she’s saying to Joo-yeon Moon, but something she’s asking everyone to hear.

“It is clear that he caught the criminal. And he said that if it weren’t for him, there would have been more victims. As Joo-yeon Moon said, we may not have even caught the culprit yet.”

There was no one who disagreed with her.
It was clear that the man caught the murderer, who was helpless in this group, in an instant.

“He solved our request and kept his promise. Now it’s our turn to keep our promise. If we continue to not keep our promises, He will eventually turn His back on us. Then, even if an incident like this happens again, you won’t be able to get help. “We must show Him that we, too, keep His trust.”

Seohee Yoon’s speech was heard by everyone.
At least, Yoon Seo-hee’s sincere words touched my heart much more than Moon Joo-yeon’s words, which only complained unconditionally.

“So, if you are a virgin, please be sure to apply. I can assure you that she will never have a bad experience. Rather, it will be the best first experience you will ever have, no matter where you are or who you are dealing with.”

The conclusion was, ‘If you are a virgin, please apply.’

“If she’s a virgin, she is.”

Someone muttered quietly.

The era in the history of the Korean Peninsula when virgins were treated with the greatest contempt. An era in which a woman does not value her virginity and men who question her virginity are laughed at.
Finding a virgin in those times was not easy. Even though there were nearly 20 young women in this group, it would not have been strange if none of them were virgins.

At that time, Joo Hee-kyung, who had just been quietly listening to the story with her arms folded, opened her mouth for the first time.

“Mr. Moon Joo-yeon. “Are you a virgin?”

Moon Joo-yeon, who has always opposed this project.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on her.

After receiving her attention, Joo-yeon Moon responded with her face turning bright red.

“Why is the story like that? “Oh, and I’m not a virgin!”

Isn’t a strong negative a strong positive?
Unlike when she confidently expressed her opposing opinion, she was very embarrassed and denied it. Anyone who saw her looked like she was saying, ‘I am a virgin.’

“This time, Joo-yeon Moon is leaving. Or are you just going to keep getting it like that?”
“You just want to get it?!”

Joo Hee-kyung’s words were so direct that Moon Joo-yeon got angry and objected.
But Lord Joo Hee responded lightly, as if she were a child.

“Mr. Moon Joo-yeon. Despite your continued opposition, you’ve been doing well with rations, right? “It’s not like you don’t know where those rations came from.”
“Well, that’s something that can’t be helped.”

Where do all the food and daily necessities that everyone eats and consumes come from?
It’s a coin. These were items purchased with coins earned by women who spent the day with the man.

Yoon Seo-hee, who was relatively moderate, did not say such things openly.
But Joo Hee-kyung was different. Joo Hee-kyung, who is not inferior to anyone here in terms of strength, brought up a cruel story and criticized Moon Joo-yeon without any hesitation.

“What can I do? She is hilariously funny. “Don’t you think it’s funny to always be against it, but actually only use the money you’ve earned?”
“Well, your sister was against it until just before…” …”

It was like that. The strongest opponents in this group were Joo-yeon Moon and Hee-kyung Joo.
Joo Hee-kyung, who was like that, was now standing in favor and criticizing Moon Joo-yeon. It was extremely unfair to Moon Joo-yeon, who had thought she was on the same side until now.

“So I volunteered to go there to reflect, right? So, go too, honey. “To take off her virginity label.”
“I absolutely hate it! And I’m not a virgin?!”
“You can clearly see she’s a virgin, so what? Anyway, you spent your whole life studying and never had time to date men, right? “There is nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Ah… Because it’s not…”

Moon Joo-yeon was completely subdued by Joo Hee-kyung as if she had hit the nail on the head.
Even her anxious pleas had completely lost their persuasiveness.
In everyone’s mind, the formula ‘Moon Joo-yeon = virgin’ was established.

“Then, Moon Joo-yeon will be the representative for this date. “Everyone applaud the courageous Joo-yeon Moon!”

Wow~! Clap clap clap!
At Yoon Seo-hee’s instigation, which was not missed at the right time, all attendees at the meeting gave Joo-yeon Moon a playful round of applause.

“Really… I’m not a virgin…”

In her friendly atmosphere, no one believed the words of Moon Ju-yeon, who muttered in tears alone.
