Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 168
CrossroadsWhile Suhyun was deep in sleep after an all-night broadcast…
The new song “Crossroads” made its debut in the world—not quietly at all.

This is Miro??
No way, stop messing around lol
– Wait, is that really Miro? She looks different from the office party photos.
ㄴ Probably just the difference between being drunk and normal
ㄴ She’s insanely pretty though
ㄴ But I don’t think I could even make eye contact with her lol
ㄴ For real lol, kinda intimidating
[So you’re telling me…]
(Crossroads MV screenshot)
That someone who looks like this…
(Miro profile picture)
Is streaming with this character??
Why? lol
– Seriously, why?? lol
– I really don’t get it lol
– The office party photos were already shocking, but this is something else
ㄴ For real, what the fuck lol
[Why is this song going viral like crazy?]
It feels like every idol is promoting it.
Was Miro really this big?
– Nah, it’s probably because of the composer.
ㄴ What kind of influence does the composer have?
ㄴ He’s super famous.
ㄴ Specializes in idol hit songs.
ㄴ But why work with Miro?
ㄴ Miro is an idol too.
ㄴ Oh, shit, that’s true.
ㄴ LMAO, you just realized??
– The song is insanely good though lol
ㄴ For real
ㄴ Miro’s voice is really something
[But is this really Miro’s side project?]
(Crossroads MV link)
If this is reality, isn’t this her *main* career now?
– Wait, good point?
ㄴ But Miro came first, didn’t she?
ㄴ Mirror is the real-life version, though?
ㄴ Mirror, Miro… This shit’s confusing as hell lol
ㄴ Yeah, her name was picked so randomly lol
[Miro <— Now this is some next-level shit lol]
If Miro is bigger than Celestial Realm, upvote lol
– LMAO
– Is it really that big?
ㄴ Bro, is a VTuber and an entertainer the same thing?
ㄴ Yeah, seriously.
[How did this even happen?]
She was literally just a regular person before the audition, and now she’s here after just a year??
– Just pure talent
ㄴ For real
ㄴ How does someone get this big in a year?
– I kinda miss old Miro lol
ㄴ For real, I miss her
ㄴ What’s there to miss? She’s literally the same lol
[Anna <— If she’s just a regular idol now, upvote lol]
Miro even crushed her in real life lol
– Ahhhhhh
– Damn, Anna at least put up a good fight
ㄴ A good fight?? Lol, Miro just bodied a 22-year-old
ㄴ Fact: Miro also bodied her when she was 21 lol
– Meanwhile, Anna’s just having the time of her life with the new recruits
ㄴ Yeah, lol, she completely let it go
ㄴ She never even tried to compete in the first place, lmao
ㄴ Anna’s been living her best life lately
ㄴ For real, you can tell just by watching her streams lol
[Miro really is the queen of Celestial Realm]
The younger idols were getting cocky, so she just shut them down lol
– LMAO
– Whoa, sis is here lol
[??: You think Seo Eeunha’s character is pretty?]
(Miro MV screenshot)
??: Prettier than me? lol
– Holy shit lol
– She looks better than her character, for real
– Agreed…
– This is Miro??
ㄴ Yeah, it’s Miro.
ㄴ Nah, stop the bullshit, she’s gotta be a celebrity.
ㄴ No, really lol
ㄴ Quit capping, VTuber fans are delusional.
ㄴ Bro is desperately trying not to believe it lol
[Miro is actually hilarious lol]
She knew her song was dropping today,
But she was busy playing a *who will end their stream first* game with her juniors all night lol
– LMAO
– Damn, I was enjoying Gaeun’s stream
ㄴ But someone had to cut it off eventually.
ㄴ Yeah, her pacing was kinda wild.
ㄴ She was fine, though. What’s the issue?
– She just enjoys streaming lol
ㄴ For real…
[Normies are confused by Miro, lol]
(Instagram post)
Listened to Mirror’s song, looked her up, and ended up finding Miro… What the fuck?
Oh, it’s Ham? lol
-(A rough breakdown of Miro’s past controversies)
ㄴ But wait, does Miro even have any controversies?
ㄴ Wow, I seriously can’t think of any.
ㄴ Yeah, what was there?
ㄴ Miro always acted like she didn’t hold back, but she never actually did anything crazy.
ㄴ She just beats up her chat lol
ㄴ She has *perfect* awareness of where the line is… she can smell a career-ending moment from miles away.
[Found Miro’s biggest controversy]
(Meme of Miro killing Seo Eunha)
‘Bullying juniors, causing controversy’
– Yeah, this is definitely a scandal lol
ㄴ She *must* apologize
– That was when Seo Eunha was really struggling lol
ㄴ But Miro took care of her later, remember? *Cheers*
[Miro’s definitely going live today, right?]
She came back yesterday, so she’s probably streaming today?
– Nah, she said in the morning she *wasn’t* streaming today lol
ㄴ For real?
ㄴ Yeah, lol
ㄴ You piece of shit…

I woke up late in the evening.
“Wake up and eat!”
Honestly, if mom hadn’t woken me up for dinner, I probably would have slept even longer.
Well, no wonder—I really overdid it yesterday.
Gaeun… I remember.
Judging from the audience’s reactions, she seems to stay up all night streaming pretty often.
Someone really needs to stop her.
A human body isn’t a replaceable part, you know?
Especially with things like mental and physical fatigue—it all seems fine until, one day, it isn’t.
She needs to take better care of herself.
Anyway, what time is it?
I was too groggy to check right after waking up and just focused on eating.
I finally picked up my phone, which was lying on the bed… Oh, it’s dead.
Didn’t I have plenty of battery last night?
Why would it die while I was asleep?
I plugged it in and waited for it to turn back on.
After zoning out for a while, the phone powered up.
“Hm.”
Now I get it.
The notification bar was blowing up with missed calls and messages.
It must have kept buzzing non-stop until the battery finally gave out.
Is something wrong?
Crossroads was just released, so of course, things would be noisy,
but hopefully, nothing bad happened.
Checking the messages, nothing seemed urgent—thankfully, no disasters.
As for the community… yeah, better not look.
Even a stray dog picks up wisdom after three years at a school.
I can already guess what they’re saying.
The Celestial Realm group chat was going nuts, too.
I didn’t want to leave them completely in the dark, so I had casually mentioned something was coming, just like I had with my manager.
Looks like it still caught them off guard.
Meanwhile, my personal messages were flooded.
Hyunsoo, Ahyoung, my vocal coach, the composer telling me to check the charts… even Hyejeong?
Oh, she texted too?
Now that I think about it, we haven’t met in a while.
Back when I lived alone, she was basically the only person I met up with regularly.
Looking back, my social circle has expanded a lot.
In just a year, I went from having barely any connections to knowing celebrities and even people overseas.
I wonder how Tenshi and Sake are doing.
I still owe Tenshi that signed album from Hyunjun…
I should probably visit Japan again sometime.
Anyway, the song’s performance hasn’t been fully recorded yet, but I have a good feeling about it.
Not out of arrogance, but because I trust the composer.
He’s been in this industry far longer than me, practically a master of music production.
Honestly, it’s still hard to believe someone like him worked with me.
As I was responding to messages, my phone rang.
“Hello?”
[Oh, Suhyun! You up?]
The cheerful voice belonged to Ahyoung, the drummer of Hyunsoo’s band.
“Yeah, I just woke up and had dinner.”
[I listened to your song! Holy shit, it’s insane!]
“Ahaha, thanks.”
Ahyoung always had an expressive personality,
but hearing direct praise like that still felt a little strange.
It’s definitely a good feeling, but it’s hard to describe.
[It’s crazy. Are you gonna beat our songs on the charts?]
“Huh? No way.”
That would be a bit much.
Hyunsoo’s album didn’t just debut strong—it dominated the charts.
Even now, nearly every song from it was sitting at the top.
That’s why people were still bringing up my feature in his song.
Now that my own track is out, I wonder if the narrative will shift.
Hopefully, the buzz keeps building.
Let it spread until people are sick of seeing my name.
[No, seriously! Just like Hyunsoo’s songs, celebs are posting about it too!]
“Really?”
[You didn’t know?]
Obviously not.
I just woke up.
Still, this proves the composer has serious connections.
[Also, what the hell was that music video?? That was next-level!]
“The MV? Oh, well, that’s a long story…”
I spent some time chatting with Ahyoung about the release.
As expected from someone in a band, she was deeply interested in the details.
[Oh, right! I almost forgot why I called.]
“Huh?”
I assumed she just wanted to congratulate me.
[Do you have time the day after tomorrow?]
“The day after tomorrow?”
[Or are you gonna be busy now that your song’s out?]
“Nah, I have time.”
In fact, I have plenty of free time now.
All the recording is done, so there’s nothing left except streaming.
[Then wanna come with us?]
“Come where?”
[Hyunsoo’s graduation!]
“Graduation? Oh…”
Right, it’s about that time of year.
Even though he’s an adult now, he still had school to finish.
[Do you know what this idiot said?]
“What did he say?”
I could already guess.
[He just wants to get it over with so he can go back to his studio and work!]
Ah, classic Hyunsoo.
No wonder Ahyoung sounded so fired up.
She’s the ultimate social butterfly—there’s no way she’d accept that answer.
Honestly, I agree with her.
You only graduate once. He should at least make it memorable.
[So we have to go support him, right?]
“Wait… we’re going?”
[Of course! We’re showing up at his school!]
“Oh, um…”
Aren’t his parents attending?
I mean, I know they have some… circumstances, but still.
[That’s why I’m calling—to invite you!]
“I mean, I don’t mind going.”
Going to his graduation isn’t a big deal.
It’s not like I have anything else planned.
[Then wear your school uniform!]
“…Huh?”
[Let’s surprise him! It’ll be hilarious!]
“That’s… uh…”
I’m 22.
How old is Ahyoung again?
She’s definitely way past the age for a school uniform…
