Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 58

“Is that person really Miro?”

“Aren’t you all already sure about it?”

Right now, Hyunsoo and I are talking on TV.

Seeing myself speak from across the screen is so embarrassing.

“Isn’t it better to change the channel? I’m a bit embarrassed to be on it.”

I can’t believe the things I said thoughtlessly are being broadcasted on TV…. My face is turning red.

“Is that the important thing right now?”

“No, I’m going to watch it until the end.”

But it seems like there’s no intention to change the channel.

If you dislike the temple, the monk should leave.

I subtly turned my head to make sure the TV was out of sight.

The sound is still there, though.

“By the way, do you two know each other? Do you have each other’s phone numbers?”

“I do have it.”

“No, how did that happen? No, no. Were you an entertainer before? Like an idol or a model?”

I shook my head at Haru’s question. An entertainer? That can’t be true.

“I was just a college student.”

“Then how did you get close?”

“Um… it’s not like we’re really close.”

“Not close, my foot! Just looking at the screen, you’re talking well.”

Well, that’s true, but…….

“No wonder……!”

At that moment, Maho, who was lost in shock, turned her gaze toward me as if she had realized something.

“It’s you, isn’t it?”

“What?”

“The part-timer!”

With that, Maho immediately took out her phone and played the song “Wonderland” by Slim Gold.

Then he fast-forwarded it to reach the featuring part.

“Is this Miro?”

I can’t believe he figured it out this quickly… Is it too much to find out now?

“Did you just realize that? I even posted in the group chat asking you to notice…”

“You little brat!”

“Ack!”

At that moment, Maho stood up and immediately tackled me.

The shock was completely different from the last time; I fell backward.

“Are you deceiving me?”

“Ugh!”

“I was so happy thinking that our music tastes matched because of Miro, and I talked about various things!”

“I like Hyunsoo’s songs too!”

“I didn’t want to know Slim Gold’s name like this!”

“No, that was already on the profile.”

It wasn’t there before, but now my real name is registered in the profile.

“Shut up! I won’t accept any rebuttals.”

“I, I have to make you pay for deceiving me too.”

“Roa unni?”

“Are you trying to deceive me while being close with those band members?”

To make matters worse, Roah jumped in, and I felt completely overwhelmed.

After a hearty meal of delivery food, I was like a crumpled piece of paper that couldn’t make it into the trash, rolling on the floor while the rest of the members focused on watching TV.

“Let’s just watch to the end and see what happens.”

“Honestly, she’s really pretty. Even with a hat on, she has such an aura.”

“I can’t believe that messy Miro is the same person.”

“Well, judging by what she’s saying, she’s still rambling like always.”

Aren’t they being a bit harsh?

The only one who approached me was Bokshil, who rubbed against me.

You’re the only one for me.

As I received healing from Bokshil, the show continued airing, and to my surprise, I had a lot of screen time.

Aren’t they editing the conversations at all?

If they show the performance too, this is going to take a long time.

“Miro really is the same as ever.”

“How can she ramble like that even during a variety show, as if she’s on a personal broadcast?”

“Even celebrities can’t keep up with Miro’s nonsensical chatter.”

Nonsensical chatter? Did they really think that about my usual words?

Yeah, even I think I speak without deep consideration sometimes.

Listening to the members’ harsh criticism while watching the broadcast, I suddenly noticed other band members coming in, and my spontaneous suggestion led to the performance starting.

“Wow.”

“What’s this?”

However, it felt like they had put some real effort into the scene.

[This is killing the romance?]

[Wow, is this a band?]

There I was, sitting on a chair with my legs crossed, playing the guitar.

Hyunsoo stands up and confidently sings.

With Ah-young’s drumming seamlessly filling in for my lacking performance, it all comes together perfectly.

With the power of editing added to the mix, it truly becomes a picturesque studio performance.

This has to be the highlight!

Even I, who was there, think it looks amazing. I wonder how others perceive it.

Looking around, everyone is indeed glued to the TV.

The producer really knows what they’re doing.

As the atmosphere heats up, the performance reaches its climax.

In that moment, Hyunsoo grabs the guitar I was playing.

[Since you made me do this so recklessly, you can sing too, right?]

Hmm, it feels cringeworthy to watch it on TV.

I didn’t feel this way at the scene.

“Eek!”

“What’s going on?”

“This is crazy!”

Of course, unlike my reaction, the members are bouncing their legs and playfully hitting each other’s backs, all excited.

Hyunsoo hands the microphone to me, then picks up the guitar and starts playing.

[Ha.]

I let out a chuckle and lightly clear my throat.

Then, the second highlight of the song approaches right away.

At that moment, the camera pulls back to show the staff filming this place, followed by the band members watching.

It briefly shows Ah-young playing the drums, then focuses on Hyunsoo playing the guitar.

Finally, when it zooms in on me again,

I sing along with the highlight of the performance.

“Wow.”

Someone among the members lets out an exclamation.

For sure.

Thanks to the power of editing and the right circumstances, a completely picturesque scene has been created.

This should become a hot topic!

The Miro band, who usually doesn’t watch TV, might see this as a YouTube highlight.

Someone might say, “Isn’t that you?” What should I reply?

I appeared on TV with just my upper body, but I was wearing a mask that covered my whole face at that time, and since I don’t have any distinguishing marks on my arms or neck, there’s really nothing to identify me by.

At most, it’s my voice?

Having been on broadcasts for a while, my voice sometimes slips out when I’m not in broadcast mode.

There will probably be some people comparing that.

Well, I can think about that when the time comes.

Finishing my worries, I watched the TV again.

Before I knew it, the performance ended, and another song started with different band members joining in.

That was such a fun time.

I should visit again sometime.

Do they do busking or anything?

If I ask to join, will I get scolded?

While I was lost in such silly thoughts, the broadcast continued with the performance, and then it showed me learning guitar from Ah-young.

Why does it keep showing me? They should be editing it by now.

In the end, it even shows me going home, and then Hyunsoo is back with the band members having dinner and falling asleep, marking the end of this variety episode featuring Hyunsoo.

And then,

after watching it all, the members’ gazes return to me.

“You’re not really involved with Slim Gold, right?”

“What? Why is this high schooler so sweet?”

“Honestly, tell us, is there something going on?”

Everyone is excited like this, but unfortunately, that’s not the case at all.

I shook my head, reassuring them not to worry.

“It’s not like that. Isn’t it a bit more of a loss for me?”

Snap!

“Ack!”

“This kid is really…”

“But how did you end up getting involved with him?”

After pondering Haru’s question for a moment, I spoke about the vocal academy.

“Academy?”

“Yes, I registered for a vocal academy right after the second audition.”

“Look at your decisiveness! What if you had failed?”

“Still, I might have succeeded through the broadcast, right?”

“I can’t argue with that kind of confidence based on reason.”

Still, I believe that because I passed the audition, I could grow comfortably and quickly like this.

The Six is the best.

“The instructor there introduced me, and that’s how I got to feature.”

“Wow, but didn’t the company say anything?”

“I was originally going to go with Miro, but back then, Hyunsoo wasn’t famous, so it fell through, and I signed the contract as Kim Soo-hyun instead.”

“Wait, it fell through?”

“Yes, I heard it was not allowed.”

“Crazy….”

I understand Haru’s reaction.

If Miro had been solidly placed in Hyunsoo’s hit song now…

The promotion would have been done properly.

“But I actually think it’s a good thing.”

“Why?? It would have been great for promotion.”

“If there are too many viewers, it feels a bit off.”

It sounds like a spoiled complaint, but it’s true.

It feels like it would be hard to control.

Like a dam overflowing.

Excessive viewers could become poison to me.

“I understand what you mean.”

Anna, who indirectly experienced my broadcast today, nodded.

“Definitely… it was a bit much, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, it felt like it was on fire every chance it got.”

“Everyone has their struggles, right?” I thought to myself.

But the atmosphere felt like they were looking at me with pity.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m getting along well with my viewers.”

From that perspective, it seems like I’m having a hard time broadcasting.

“No, no. Still, Miro has a strong mentality.”

“More like a bit of a ‘bright-eyed’ vibe, right?”

At Haru’s mention of “bright-eyed,” Roah and Maho nodded, while Anna seemed confused.

“What does that mean?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“Are you using trendy phrases just because I’m younger?” What’s that?

“Come on, there’s really not that much difference between us, is there?”

“That’s true…”

Not much of an age gap? Is that so? Still, considering the age difference between Haru and Anna in their twenties feels quite significant.

I thought about that but didn’t voice it.

Seeing Anna’s slightly raised lips, it seemed she knew it too.

“But first, should we go to the convenience store? No one has a toothbrush.”

Everyone nodded at the suggestion of buying toothbrushes.

I guess knowing the scary dental costs makes us adults hesitate in this area.

And so, after the members spent the night at my place, the eventful few days finally came to an end.
