EP.323 A Choice Without Regret 

There was no need to hesitate any longer. 

With a tearful voice, Yuna answered. 

— Um... 

— Yes, go ahead. 

— My younger sister was falsely accused and made female livestock because of a communal facility staff member..! Not long ago, she was murdered in a public toilet... but the perpetrator only got one hour of community service for property damage... 

— So? 

— What? 

— So what do you want me to do. 

— Why are you saying it like that... A person died... 

Yuna was at a loss for words at the counselor’s cold attitude. 

An awkward silence followed... 

After a while, a deep sigh came from the other end of the phone. 

— I get why you’re upset... but what do you want to do by calling the head of the communal facility? 

— Well... I just... 

Pressed by Seongjun’s pointed question, Yuna was once again speechless. 

She only wanted to appeal her sister’s injustice. 

— So, you think the head of the communal facility is the cause of your sister’s death, and you want to meet and kill him or something? 

— No..! I-I never thought of that..! 

— Sigh... Whatever you’re thinking, I don’t care. But I can’t give you the director’s contact info. 

Seongjun flatly refused her desperate request. 

With security heightened due to anti-communal protests, leaking personal info to a stranger could get him disciplined. 

— Still! Please..! I’ll pay you! I just want to meet the director to clear my sister’s name..! 

— You think money solves everything? If I take it, I’ll go to jail for bribery. Got it? 

— Then... what do I have to do for you to tell me..? I really need the director’s number. 

Yuna threw everything aside and begged persistently. 

To Seongjun, her desperation was just an annoying complaint. 

— Sigh... Why are you going this far? 

— What? Because my sister... 

— You’re bothering people this much just because your sister died? 

— “Just because”? Did you really just say that..?! 

Yuna couldn’t hold back her anger and snapped. 

— Did you really just say that!! Huh? Answer me!! 

Every time her sister’s death was belittled, Yuna’s anger boiled over. 

She knew she was unfairly taking it out on the counselor, 

but once her rage exploded, she couldn’t control it. 

— Sigh, fuck... 

— What, what did you say? Did you just curse? 

— Yeah, you heard me. Want me to say it again? You fucking bitch. 

Already stressed from other troublemakers, Seongjun finally lost his patience. 

— Don’t make a fuss over one dead pussy, you fucking cunt. If a female livestock dies, just make another one. 

— Why... why are you saying this... 

— Shut your mouth, bitch. Who do you think you are, calling here for the director’s number? You know I could get you punished with one word, right? 

— Hhuuk... 

Overwhelmed by Seongjun’s relentless barrage, Yuna was left speechless. 

— Stop acting like a pain and just stay home and cry. Shit, what a fucking hassle over one dead cunt. 

Finishing his tirade, Seongjun abruptly hung up. 

— Hello? Hello! Hey, you bastard!! 

Yuna screamed into her disconnected phone, but her voice vanished into thin air. 

“Uwaaa!!” 

She threw her phone with all her strength and burst into tears. 

“You’re all so cruel! What is this!!” 

A person had died..! 

How could everyone laugh and mock as if it was nothing? 

No matter how she thought about it... 

It felt like common sense had vanished since the communal system began. 

“Hhuuk...” 

After crying for a long time, Yuna turned to the largest online community as a last resort. 

Sometimes, people who suffered injustice would post and receive help from others. 

Yuna poured her heart into her post, hoping at least one person would help. 

Title: Exposing the Cruelty of the Communal Facility 

Hello. 

Not long ago, my younger sister, four years younger than me, died. 

She was a victim, unfairly made female livestock. 

A communal facility staff member made a small mistake and, to cover it up, turned my sister into livestock. 

I tried everything to clear her name, 

but no one would help me. 

With the help of the anti-communal protest group, I gathered evidence and went to court, but lost. 

In the end, my sister was murdered in a public toilet. 

The perpetrator, a man in his 30s, killed her by forcibly inserting his genitals into her throat. 

I filed a petition for severe punishment, but it was dismissed. 

He was punished not for murder, but for property damage—just one hour of community service. 

There are still more victims like my sister. Please... 

Help me abolish the communal system. 

And please pray so my sister can rest in peace. 

I sincerely hope there will be no more victims... 

I poured out my true feelings anonymously. 

“It’s done...” 

Yuna attached all her collected evidence and posted it. 

She knew criticizing the communal system was treated like terrorism, 

but this was the only gamble left to her. 

Even without help... 

she just wanted some comfort, some empathy. 

Finishing the post, Yuna shut off her computer and lay in bed, 

sure she’d wake to countless supportive comments and a good dream. 

“What is this...” 

The next day, Yuna’s post became the most recommended and hit the main page. 

There were 4,279 comments. 

Every time she refreshed, the number grew. 

Excited, Yuna checked the comments... 

and her smile quickly faded. 

— Fuck, making a fuss over one dead cunt, lol 

— How can you post this without fear? You really don’t know the world 

— Didn’t the dead livestock just not train properly? If you can’t use your throat right, of course you die... 

ㄴ Right, lol, blaming the facility for this 

ㄴ The facility is at fault. If a public toilet livestock isn’t trained for oral, that’s a complaint bomb waiting to happen, lol 

— Anyone know who wrote this? 

ㄴ It’s not “cancer,” it’s “know,” idiot, lol 

ㄴ So who is it? 

ㄴ Go to the communal facility site, check incidents. Name: Seo Yujin, 20, died in public toilet. The writer is her sister, Seo Yuna. 

ㄴ Wow, wasn’t she the one who was popular online for being prettier and bustier than her sister? 

— Lol, someone should make this Seo Yuna a personal livestock for the trauma 

ㄴ You do it, lol, you’ll get punished for that these days 

— Sharing her photo, anyone know her address? I’ll go teach her a lesson 

— If the sister was a cockhouse, shouldn’t the older sister be one too? Why hasn’t the facility picked her up yet? 

— Seriously, calling the counseling office and making a fuss over one dead cunt, then posting this? She’s a menace to society, lol 

ㄴ Don’t be too harsh, she’s just trying hard to become livestock like her sister 

ㄴ For real, lol 

Reading the comments in a daze, Yuna felt utter disgust for humanity and hung her head. 

She had no more tears left. 

“Haa...” 

I want to die. 

I just want to give up on everything. 

Is being born a woman a crime? 

Before shutting down her computer, Yuna wrote a new post. 

Title: I Just Wish Everyone Would Die. 

I wish the communal facility would disappear. 

What do they think women’s lives are? 

Just toys to play with and throw away? 

All men are the same, fuck. 

I wish they’d all just die. 

There was no turning back now. 

By openly criticizing the communal system and expressing her rage, Yuna became a complete criminal. 

Without checking the responses, she changed clothes and left the house. 

“Hhuuk... hhic...” 

She wandered the streets, crying. 

Because she had become a criminal herself. 

Her life was truly over. 

“Haa...” 

With nowhere to go, she wandered near the apartment where she’d always lived with her family
