Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 587
Since Tenshi declared a long-term stay the other day.
“Soo-hyun! Wake up!”
“Ugh… Yes.”
Tenshi seemed to have no intention of leaving and stayed at our house.
Thanks to that, it’s now become so familiar to be woken up by Tenshi in the morning.
“Soo-hyun, would you like some coffee if you’re sleepy?”
“Yes, please… make me a cup.”
“Got it!”
When she first came to Korea, I tried to do everything for her.
But now, I’ve become comfortable letting her take care of some things.
Tenshi is very skilled and can do anything well.
Last time, while I was taking a nap, she even did the laundry.
…Honestly, it doesn’t matter much since we are the same gender.
Besides, we are close enough that we could probably share the bathroom.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Oh, nothing much.”
“Here’s your coffee.”
“Oh, thank you.”
I took the coffee and came out of the bedroom.
Then, through the large glass window, I could see the morning sunlight streaming into the living room.
While staying here, Tenshi kept cleaning regularly, so the place looks very tidy.
Just like her own home, she cleans even better than I do when we clean together.
“Whoosh.”
As I entered the living room, Tenshi sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
[This time, the government…]
The morning news started playing in the living room.
“You really enjoy watching the news, don’t you?”
Strangely, Tenshi enjoyed watching the morning news.
“It’s interesting!”
She especially liked political news.
I heard it’s quite intense, unlike Japan.
…Well, it’s foreign politics, so she can watch without any worries.
I don’t know much about politics, so even if I watch TV, it feels like I’m listening to stories from another world.
“What’s so interesting?”
I sat down next to the sofa, sipping my coffee.
On the TV, politicians were engaging in a heated debate.
“Hmm?”
“What is it?”
“Oh, nothing….”
I spotted a familiar face on TV.
…Oh wow, I see a coworker’s dad on TV.
Come to think of it, he claimed to be from S University.
Now he knows that’s a lie, right?
It’s not like I should have appeared on TV two or three times.
I hope our Miro Family member, Rain, explained everything well.
Anyway….
“Shall we have breakfast?”
After casually watching the TV, I got up from the sofa.
“Oh, yes!”
“I’ll make it quickly.”
It’s time for breakfast.
Even though Tenshi does most of the house chores, I handle the cooking.
And while she handles everything else, she doesn’t mention cooking beforehand.
She subtly hopes that I’ll take care of it.
I think she’d do well if she tried.
I’ll have to ask her to make Japanese food someday.
“So, what’s on the menu today?”
As I headed to the kitchen, Tenshi followed me and asked.
By the way, we both wore animal pajamas.
I had a cat onesie from my wardrobe, while Tenshi wore the bunny onesie she brought.
Wearing pajamas all the time makes it feel like we’re having a pajama party every day.
“Today, um, I’m still deciding.”
I opened the refrigerator to check the ingredients.
There’s some pork? Should I stir-fry some spicy pork?
Having cooked quite frequently recently, I can come up with menu ideas just by looking at the ingredients.
“Should I grill some sausages with that spicy pork?”
“Sure!”
“I’ll make it quickly, so just watch TV.”
I rolled up my pajama sleeves and put on an apron.
I needed one since oil splatters on my pajamas.
Since it’s a fuzzy pajama, washing it is difficult.
Luckily, the washing machine has a fuzzy mode, which is good.
It even includes automatic drying, so I can just put it in the washing machine and then put it straight into the wardrobe.
Anyway, while I was cooking.
Click.
I heard a shutter sound from behind, and when I turned my head, Tenshi was taking my picture with her phone.
“What are you doing?”
“A commemorative photo.”
“Are you going to post it on the bluebird app again?”
“Is that okay?”
“Oh, um, it doesn’t matter.”
Sometimes she takes pictures like that to post.
Well, it’s fine since she always takes care to avoid showing my face.
Of course, everyone knows it’s me from the house’s interior and my back view, but it’s still a good thing since Tenshi is staying at our house anyway.
“Okay, it’s all ready.”
Anyway, after cooking the spicy pork and sausages,
I heated the instant rice and set the table.
“I’ll set the spoons!”
“Yes, yes.”
With quick movements, the table was set in no time.
Click!
Once again, Tenshi took a picture of the table set for breakfast.
Whenever I cook, she takes pictures every day.
Well, from my perspective, it makes me a little proud.
“Itadakimasu!”
Afterward, the food was delicious, and it was nice to see her enjoy it.
“What are you going to do after the meal?”
“Um… I’m thinking of broadcasting.”
Although Tenshi is staying at our house,
We don’t roam around together, so when I asked about her schedule, she said she would do some broadcasting.
“Um, it is about time for that.”
Since she hadn’t broadcast recently, Tenshi should get to it.
“If it gets too loud, you can let me know.”
“No, the soundproofing is good, so it’s okay.”
The guest room had unexpectedly good soundproofing.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t hear it loudly even if she was broadcasting.
“Really?”
“Yes, and anyway, I was thinking of going for a jog too.”
“A jog? Would you like to go together?”
“Oh no, it’s fine. I’ll just run around quickly and come back.”
Since I met Moon Chang-sik last time, I had just been thinking about it.
Now, I plan to go for a quick run by myself.
Staying at home is nice, but I’ve been gaining a little weight lately.
Lately, especially seeing my chubby and soft thighs tells me what’s going on.
“Thank you for the meal! I’ll clean up!”
“Oh, please do.”
So, after the meal, I changed my clothes.
I put on a windbreaker and pants, which made me eager to run.
It feels good since it’s a new outfit sent recently by our Madam of Sangshik Entertainment.
“Alright, I’ll be off then.”
“Yes, take care.”
After getting fully dressed, I set off for my run, leaving Tenshi at home.
Let’s see, what route should I take….
I plan to run towards the nearby park along the Han River.
I should be back in about 30 minutes, right?
After all, I have run for hours on the treadmill at the gym, so I’m somewhat confident.
“Let’s go!”
With a confident smile, I started running immediately.
**
About twenty minutes later.
“Huff… huff….”
Panting, I collapsed onto a nearby bench.
…Did I fail to control my pace?
I can’t believe I’m this spread out.
Back when I played Cha Yoo-ra, I wasn’t like this.
It hasn’t been long since I took on that role, but my stamina has gone down the drain again.
Does stamina also have a yo-yo effect?
It seems those twenty-plus years of poor stamina are hard to erase even with exercise.
“Hah!”
But I can’t give up here.
If I were Cha Yoo-ra, I could have easily done it for an hour, right?
I suddenly recalled Cha Yoo-ra in my mind.
And then, amazingly, I felt a surge of energy in my body.
How would I catch the crime organization if I give up here?
Of course, I wiped them all out and locked them up in the last episode, but still.
With a determined mind to run the planned route, I continued running.
And then.
“Hah… huff….”
As I exceeded the scheduled time and was heading home along the route.
“Huff, huff.”
Ahead of me, I saw a strong runner who seemed to have just started.
Wow, they seem to have plenty of energy.
I thought that if they took the same route as me, they’d be knocked out.
“Hmm?”
As the silhouette gradually approached, I felt a sense of familiarity.
Oh, I’ve seen them before.
When we were close enough to see, I waved my hand.
“Can see everything from here, huh?”
“Oh yes, are you coming back from a workout?”
“I just finished a lap.”
The person I met was Moon Chang-sik.
He seemed to have just started, looking fresh as he stopped in front of me.
“It seems you jog regularly. This is the second time we’ve met.”
I raised two fingers at Moon Chang-sik.
Since I met him once when Hyeon-su and Ah-young came over, this was already our second meeting.
“I come out almost every day when my schedule allows.”
“How about the gym?”
“I go to the gym too.”
“…How do you do both?”
I don’t go to the gym, so I only came to jog, but this person does both.
“Are you not exercising these days, Soo-hyun?”
That was a remark from Moon Chang-sik, sounding somewhat piercing, considering we’d seen each other often at the gym.
“Yes….”
“…Is that so?”
Why, what, why?
Is it so wrong not to exercise a bit?
“And you’re probably not following a diet either, right? Since you’re on a break.”
“Oh, um, that’s true….”
“May I ask when you plan to return?”
“Um….”
Return, return….
I really don’t know.
Since I declared a full break, I plan to rest until I want to stop.
It’s like taking a one-way trip for a hotel stay.
I’ll book a flight when I want to go back.
“Maybe I won’t rest for at least another six months?”
However, I answered with a rough estimate of the timeline so it wouldn’t seem too aimless.
“Six months… sounds nice for a good rest.”
“Right? After that, I can slowly pick up a project.”
I’m considering taking on a project or contacting Ahn Ji-young, the writer.
Since she has been appealing to me, I should reach out first at least once.
“I’m sure you’ll do well on your own, but it would be good to exercise a bit.”
“Yes, yes, that’s why I’m going for a jog. I just came back from one, right?”
“That’s good.”
“Oh, but it’s really tiring.”
“When you first start running, it’s tough. It’s different from a treadmill.”
“More than that….”
Since I ran into Moon Chang-sik, I thought to ask him for some tips.
“Do you have any tips for running longer?”
“Tips?”
“Yes, yes, I find it difficult to control my pace.”
“Controlling your pace, huh….”
When I asked for tips from my long-time junior, Moon Chang-sik fell into thought, pondering carefully.
Oh… He looks like he’s going to give me some advice!
So, I waited patiently for his response.
Eventually.
“Shall we do it together?”
“Excuse me?”
“I’ll help you control your pace from the side.”
Moon Chang-sik gave a very helpful answer.
“Oh… is that okay?”
…It seems like there’s room for debate.
