Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 3

Fortunately, there were still underwear like bras for me.

“I avoided the perversion of no bra.”

Sighing in relief, I searched through my closet.

Among countless puppies, I managed to find a white t-shirt and jeans.

“Ugh! But this thing is too tight around the b*tt!”

I forcibly pulled the clothes that rejected me. After barely putting them on, I looked in the mirror to check my appearance, and there stood a woman.

A simple outfit of a white tee tucked into jeans. However, the presence of my bursting chest and round b*tt was overwhelmingly strong.

“I can never go out like this…”

I waved my hands in shock over the striking visual. If I walked around outside like this, a meeting with the police would surely be in the cards.

“Let’s give up on this.”

In the end, I took off the clothes I had worn and pulled out a boxy tee and wide pants from the pile stacked in the closet.

“It looks a bit weird, but… it should be fine, right?”

I looked at myself in the mirror again. Even with the baggy clothes, my chest still stood out, and the proportions of my body that couldn’t be hidden by clothes were creating the aura of a celebrity.

“Well, I think I can go out like this.”

Two hours after waking up in this body, I finally took my first step out of my cozy home and into society.

With a divine face and an overwhelming body.

Once looked at, the charm was so captivating that the gazes of people following me couldn’t help but be drawn.

“I don’t feel it…”

On a weekday afternoon, while busy modern people had long since gone to work, all that was felt was the scorching sun. I felt a bit embarrassed as I entered a nearby convenience store.

– Ding dong

“Welcome!”

I responded with a light nod at the greeting I heard. Ignoring the dazed part-time worker staring at me, I paid for the cola as a completion of the basic cliché.

“Oh my! You’re the girl living in the officetel across from here, right?”

“Excuse me? Ah, yes, that’s me.”

“You used to always wear a hat when you came out but didn’t wear one today? Are you meeting a friend?”

“Uh, no…”

“Oh dear, you’re so pretty. Back when I was your age, guys lined up for me, but these days…”

I hadn’t planned on the convenience store owner being the one at the counter! My years of living like a shut-in left me unable to either stop or continue the conversation, and I found myself awkwardly caught in her chatter.

“You know, a new town was built nearby recently. I wonder if everyone moved there; there are hardly any people around here, so business is tough.”

“Haha… Is that so?”

“I heard the owner of the officetel where you live changed. You’ll probably get a call soon.”

“Really?”

Amidst the shopkeeper’s gossip, I obtained shocking information. The reason I could live in the officetel was due to the landlord’s mercy in waiving the rent, but if the owner changed, there would be no base left for me.

“They said they offered double the market rate? Oh, how enviable.”

Regardless of my flustered feelings, the shopkeeper’s chitchat continued. Just as I was getting anxious about the rent, another customer appeared.

– Ding dong

“Welcome!”

Taking advantage of the shopkeeper’s gaze shifting to the new customer, I ran to the refrigerator. As I handed over the cola at the counter, the shopkeeper continued talking.

“You always buy only cola… I know it’s a bit inappropriate to say this as someone who sells it, but it’s good to consume a variety of nutrients. It will all show in your body later, you know?”

Despite the shopkeeper’s worried words, all I could think about was wanting to get out of there. I responded with an awkward smile.

“Haha… Yes, I understand.”

– Beep

– Payment limit exceeded.

An ominous sound reached me.

“Do you have another card besides this one?”

I hurriedly checked my wallet with shaking eyes, but the only contents were the card I just used and my ID. No matter how much I rummaged through my wallet, I couldn’t find even a single 100 won coin.

Cold sweat began to flow beneath my chest. Just when I realized I was facing the worst crisis since waking up in this body…

“I’ll pay together with you.”

A small hand of salvation extended towards me.

“Thank you for helping me. I owe you one!”

“It’s nothing.”

The small angel who saved me answered while nodding her head as if to emphasize her words. Her tiny stature and matching fluffy demeanor were incredibly endearing.

“No, it really helped a lot! I’ll definitely remember to repay you next time.”

“Is that a promise?”

The angel looked straight into my eyes, as if waiting for that line. Her tiny face with round eyes reminiscent of a retriever seemed to demand an answer from me.

“Of course! Just tell me anything you want when we meet next time.”

“Yes. I’ll make sure to remember.”

As if satisfied with my answer, she smiled, revealing a lovely arc to her lips, and I responded with a smile in return.

While we were chatting, we arrived at the entrance of the officetel. I gave her my last goodbye before parting.

“I live here, so I’ll go in first.”

“Oh, I live here too.”

But surprisingly, she was my neighbor living in the same officetel.

“What? Ahaha… No wonder your face looked familiar; you’re a neighbor! We met a few times in the elevator, right?”

“No, I just moved in recently and we met for the first time today.”

The hasty excuse I made due to my flustered feelings was instantly countered and sunk due to her immediate reply.

“Ah…”

“Thank you for saying I looked familiar, though.”

Caught in her crescent smile and mischievous eyes, I couldn’t help but be captivated. In the face I had seen again, the innocent puppy had disappeared, leaving only a cat lurking for prey.

“Let me properly introduce myself. I’m Jihye, who just moved into the very top floor of this officetel.”

“Huh? That place used to belong to the landlord, didn’t it…?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Jihye continued speaking with a smiling face.

“I took over this officetel. I look forward to working with you, tenant Miju.”

This was my first meeting with Jihye.

—————–

“Whoohoo. I finally talked to her today…”

I muttered as I entered the empty house. While it might seem like a spacious penthouse to others, it was nothing but a shabby place compared to the home I used to live in.

“But it’s okay… because my sister is here…”

Ah… I wonder how long my sister has known me just by observing from a distance. If she finds out, will she despise me?

Or…

“Ahhhh! I don’t know!”

Today is a happy day. I not only got to talk to my sister, whom I usually just admired from afar, but we even made a promise that she wouldn’t forget me.

“Her embarrassed look was so cute…”

I turned on the computer and played the scene recorded just moments ago. Looking at my sister through the screen made my face feel like it could melt away.

“Sister… I love you so much…”

My body grew hotter with excitement. I probably won’t be able to fall asleep easily tonight.

—————–

“I was too careless. Who would have thought the card would be blocked.”

Once home, I checked my wallet again. It still contained just my ID and one card.

Since the card had reached its limit, I essentially only had my ID on me.

“My name is Miju Kim… I’m 23 years old…”

The ID with my picture showing a woman’s silhouette welcomed me. I looked through the account balance on my mobile phone.

“I have… 70 won left?”

Surprised by the balance, I checked the past transactions and soon realized the truth.

“Ah… I lost everything yesterday…”

Last night, in order to maximize profits, I had bet all the money in my account on a long position.

“I have no money at all…?”

However, the result of the bet was liquidation. Ultimately, all my liquid assets were gone, leaving me with:

Balance Status

– Total Assets: 1,023,696

– Purchase Amount: 7,874,592

– Profit: -6,850,896

– Profit Ratio: -87%

Only one asset remained, which I had held from the past.

“That d*mn Musk…”

The first coin I ever bought, which had shown a thousandfold rise in the past and had become a beacon of hope for many. Yet, the end for this coin, which rose purely due to memes without solid fundamentals, was tragic.

“I should have sold this long ago…”

I must have diluted my holdings dozens of times as it dropped. By now, I had long since given up on selling or buying, letting it be neglected in the corner of my account.

“Still, it seems like it’s hit the bottom now?”

As I thought about selling the coin that had long protected my account, I hesitated. A belief that if I just held on a little longer, I could restore my past glory dominated my mind.

– The stock you own has recorded its lowest price in the last year. –

A notification rang out, mocking me. Following that sound, when I checked my balance, the point I thought was the bottom was crumbling.

“Let’s just sell it and think later.”

– The sell order has been executed. –

Only after hitting the lowest point did the sell order execute. Ultimately, my seven-figure number was shattered.

“I don’t even have a million won left…”

My current assets amounted to 70 won in my account plus 980,000 won in my crypto wallet, totaling 980,070 won. Considering a month’s food expenses and rent, it was time to start looking for a job.

“But who am I?”

A beautiful girl with overwhelming looks.

Having lived as a man, I knew how to fulfill men’s needs.

And I was even (probably) good at gaming.

There was only one job that could leverage these advantages.

“Hello, everyone! I’m Miju, the new streamer!”

I began my internet broadcast.
