A K-pop Idol 70.4

At the end of the concert, the sergeant once again accompanied the girls to the dressing room. This time, along the way, Alex just couldn't control himself. "Sergeant Lee Si-won, can I ask you something?" he said, walking ahead next to the guy.

"Of course. Everything you want" he said trying to sound polite, although he was clearly troubled by that.

"Well… I would like to know… Why don't you like us?" 

The man turned pale at this. "Who said that to you?" he asked, a bit harsh. "Hmm... I'm sorry for that. But I do not know why you might think this. I have been as helpful as possible."

"I know it, and we're very grateful for that. But still... This is as if you were doing it out of obligation. I'm sorry if I'm being inconvenient for saying so." 

Alex realized that Lee Si-won seemed to be suffering an intense internal struggle. "Okay, you're right” he finally admitted. "I have been assigned to be your host against my will." 

"Why?" 

"Because my superiors wanted to teach me a lesson." 

"I still don't understand."

"I don't think groups such as yours should come to our base, and I expressed my opinion openly. In fact, I don't think such groups should even exist." 

Alex couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Why not?" he asked. 

"Oh, come on! Look how you're dressed! I don't think women should expose themselves this way. I'm just trying to protect you. You know how men look at you. And you have no idea what they say on your back. But I know, and this isn't right. And this is all your fault. You girls should respect yourselves! Still, some of my superiors think such visits are important to elevate the morale of the troop…" 

Alex had already been victim of misogyny a few times since he had started living as a woman, but nothing as explicit as this. He found it hard to believe he was hearing this from a twenty-something guy, and not from a reactionary old man. 

"Oh, so do you think all women should be modest housewives? And this is our fault when men decide to act like pigs?" 

Lee Si-won was definitely not expecting a reaction like that. "You cannot talk to me this way! You should be ashamed!" 

"Why? Because you are a man and I'm just a woman?"

"No, because I'm older than you, and I'm also a military man. We are responsible for the security of the country, so everyone should respect us. And I keep what I said. You shouldn't dress and act like you do. This is just wrong!" 

"Oh, really? But I have something to tell you, sergeant. If you want to be respected, you first need to respect people. And guess what? Women are people too!" 

Saying so, Kim Hana quickened her step, leaving the guy behind, with her high heels clicking loudly. Now it was clear that being a woman was even more challenging than she had expected…
