Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 6

Han Donghun , 21 years old.

He arrived at the meeting place of the reunion venue, driving the Mercedes-Benz he borrowed from his father, after meticulously making sure of his appearance in the mirror while holding the steering wheel to go to the parking lot behind the barbecue restaurant.

“Hmm, hmmm…”

As he grabbed the steering wheel to go to the parking lot behind the barbecue restaurant, he cleared his throat and periodically checked his hair in the mirror.

“Sigh…”

Donghun recalled the person he was planning to meet at the reunion venue today, whom he had just thought about while being satisfied with his appearance after grooming at the shop.

Kim Suhyun.

In fact, he never told anyone, but she was the girl Donghun had a crush on for three years.

She, who was the most popular among both girls and boys in the class, did not shorten her skirt or wear makeup like other girls, but her appearance was incomparable to others.

He recalled the girl who used to shine while talking about comics among the girls who gathered in the corner.

Unlike other pretentious girls, she was innocent yet assertive in her words.

Since she didn’t seem to be interested in boys, she probably still didn’t have a boyfriend, right? Donghun felt relieved, thinking that at least in her profile pictures, where he periodically checked, there was not a single photo of a boyfriend, let alone another man.

He remembered how he had been hesitating so much about meeting strict guys in college and how he had been unable to contact her personally while comparing himself to her shining figure.

“Good luck, Donghun, you have nothing to be inferior about.”

Donghun hypnotized himself.

With a prestigious university, a Mercedes-Benz, and a decent appearance, he raised his self-esteem like that and parked the car, leaving the keys in his pocket.

“Cough… Sigh…”

Then, he encountered her.

His first love, wearing an oversized sweatshirt and a hat pushed down.

“Oh? Han Donghun? Long time no see.”

The smoke coming from her mouth and the small, white stick in her hand.

“Why are you standing there? Let’s go inside.”

Donghun was taken aback by her skillful act of putting out the cigarette on the ground and extinguishing it with the back of her sneaker, and for a moment, his movements froze.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt? I’ll go in first?”

Looking at her back as she went in first left Donghun standing in shock, his first feeling was ironically a flutter.

‘…Not bad?’

To Donghun, who learned about women from the internet, women were supposed to be innocent and dignified.

However, he thought that her delinquent appearance of smoking a cigarette also had its own charm.

After following Kim Suhyun into the barbecue restaurant, Donghun inwardly let out a bitter laugh.

‘These guys…’

He sneered at the appearances of the male reunion who had all dressed up, but he didn’t think he looked like them.

***

‘…I almost made a mistake.’

“…Almost made a mistake.”

I let out a sigh of relief, leaving Han Donghun behind.

He was a friend I used to meet regularly even after entering college, going to PC rooms together. I almost greeted him out of habit.

But now I’m a woman.

And a beautiful one at that, so I made an effort to restrain myself from giving unnecessary fantasies to my old friends.

Among the group of people already gathered, I found Hyejung and sat next to her. As I sat down, she furrowed her brows and gave my shoulder a firm poke.

“Ugh! Why?”

“Hey, you smell like cigarettes! Since when did you start smoking?”

“This… is the smell of grilling meat. It enhances the flavor.”

“Step back a bit!”

Feeling dejected, I moved a little away from Hyejung.

“Huh? Kim Suhyun, are you smoking now? Let’s have one together later?”

At that moment, a male classmate with dyed yellow hair across from me waved his hand.

I signaled him to wait and leaned against the back of my chair.

Then it hit me.

‘Oh, I’m a woman right now.’

The yellow-haired boy was a friend that Kim Suhyun used to hang out with when he was in school so he was comfortable with him.

Maybe he was a little embarrassed that Kim Suhyun, a girl he wasn’t that close to in Chang, was doing this?

I don’t know.

But isn’t that a reward for being insulted by a pretty girl like me?

I ignored the situation and focused on the meat grilling in front of me.

“Hmm… this is awkward.”

Well, I don’t hate drinking, but it’s uncomfortable to eat when people keep glancing around.

If you’re going to talk to me, just do it boldly.

Or don’t talk to me at all.

I started to understand why Kim Suhyun disliked going out so much.

I tried to ignore the stares and enjoyed the meat and a few drinks.

When I was pleasantly drunk, the yellow-haired guy subtly changed seats and sat next to me.

“Hey, don’t come too close.”

“Huh? Oh, okay…”

Did I seem too serious? I guess I can’t control myself well when I’m drunk.

“Haha… just kidding, just kidding!”

I hurriedly laughed to cover up, and the yellow-haired guy also awkwardly laughed and scooted closer, lifting his butt to move in, and I watched him with a stiff expression.

Seeing my expression, he hesitated in his attempt to move closer, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his awkwardness.

“Phew… hahaha! Just sit there.”

“Uh, yeah…”

After seating the yellow-haired guy, I exchanged a few drinks with Hyejung next to me, and as the atmosphere gradually warmed up, a male classmate who had been chatting with others in the center suddenly stood up.

“Since we’re all here, let’s take a picture!”

The male classmate held up his phone without saying a word, and immediately everyone gathered posed for their cameras.

“Hey, Suhyeon, come over here!”

At the gesture of a tipsy Hyejung next to me, I moved closer and ended up being shoulder to shoulder, and I smiled and made a peace sign with my hand. Click!

“Okay~ I’ll upload the picture to the group chat!”

Then, I saw the time, probably took a picture and slowly got up from my seat.

“Is Suhyeon leaving already?”

As I got up, Hyejung asked, and I nodded and waved my hand.

“I’m tired, I’m going home to sleep now.”

Oddly, the drinking party wasn’t that enjoyable. Just tipsy?

And I strongly felt like going home to sleep.

Have I inherited the homesick trait from female Kim Suhyeon?

No, I’m the female Kim Suhyun now, this is right.

“Hmm… aren’t you sad? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”

At Hyejung’s question, I smirked and waved my hand.

“But I have plans tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early.”

Starting tomorrow is the third audition.

In other words, it’s time to do a personal broadcast.

Well, I’m going to kill it anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I sleep late today… Yeah, it’s just an excuse to go home.

I left the bar, listening to the other classmates’ voices of regret.

It’s time to go back to being a homesick, Kim Suhyeon.

***

The next afternoon.

I sat at my computer desk, finished setting up for the broadcast, crossed my arms, and thought.

‘How should I do the personal broadcast?’

Originally, I planned to follow the memories of the female Kim Suhyeon and act accordingly, but it didn’t go well when I answered like the male Kim Suhyeon last time.

Thinking about it, I think it could be a popular factor to feel a sense of solidarity with a VTuber who sings well and has a good voice, similar to herself.

I have a dual nature now.

Kim Suhyun, a female otaku who embraces all sorts of subcultures, and Kim Suhyun, a male who diligently studied to enter a prestigious university but fell into the swamp of assignments.

The male Kim Suhyun regularly met with neighborhood friends and stayed up all night working on assignments with university friends, always socializing with people. The female Kim Suhyun, on the other hand, strongly disliked going out and preferred to wander around at home, considering it a stamp of life.

Like Hyejung, the female Kim Suhyun avoided the smell of cigarettes and disliked people who smoked. However, after learning to smoke from a senior in college, the male Kim Suhyun couldn’t quit smoking.

Despite having the same parents and attending the same school, the male and female Kim Suhyun’s are vastly different due to their gender and appearance.

“Well… Isn’t this a good thing?”

If I were to compare it to a car, it’s a hybrid.

It can understand the needs of both otaku and regular people, using both electricity and oil.

I realized that my situation is a tremendous advantage.

And as soon as I realized it, I turned on the broadcast.

“Aren’t you thinking about ways to showcase your strengths effectively?”

That’s for showcasing mediocre strengths.

I have a dagger in my pocket.

Even if I don’t take it out, it pierces through and pops out on its own.

As I started the broadcast, I set the title with a smile.

[The Dagger in the Bag (yet to be exposed)]

True fun comes naturally.

Thinking so, I burst into laughter.

To come to the same conclusion as I did before the second audition.

The only difference is that back then, I decided to show only the female Kim Suhyun’s side, and now, I plan to show both the male and female Kim Suhyun sides, which means I can show twice as much just by comparing them.

Indeed, I have a talent for broadcasting.

In the second monitor, my broadcast screen was still a black background as I hadn’t set the waiting screen yet, and there, my face was reflected.

My face was so beautiful that if the male Kim Suhyun saw, I wouldn’t have been able to take my eyes off it, and I was definitely smiling.

Moreover, it was a smile full of confidence.

That’s how my first broadcast started.
