It was a normal day, just like any other day. Until I really needed a restroom.

I looked nearby and finally found one and quickly rushed inside like my life depended on it.

No time to think. Just survival.

After I came out, feeling peaceful again, a man stopped me.

“Fee.”

I looked at him. “Fee? For what?”
“For using the restroom.”
I blinked. “Wait… you’re serious?”

“Yes.”

I stared at him for a second.

“You’re telling me… I just paid for using the restroom."

He didn’t even react. “You used the facility.”
I sighed and took out the money.

“This is unbelievable.”

As I handed it to him, I muttered,
“Next time, I’m asking for the price before I go in.”

And while walking away, I kept thinking...
“Fee… for doing what?"
