Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Sweet Guy Seong Yu-han

Clip.

It’s a function where you can cut a certain section of less than 1 minute from the broadcast screen to make a highlight and share it with other viewers.

You can show this short video to another streamer’s room through video sponsorship, or viewers can be drawn in by watching the shared clip.

If it’s an achievement like bottle stacking… it could be quite helpful for the broadcast’s growth, right?

…I thought after the broadcast ended.

The problem was… my broadcast was a small room with few viewers, and I was a first-day broadcaster, so there was no one to do such troublesome promotion for me.

It wasn’t God’s help. If it was God’s help, he wouldn’t have helped in such an ambiguous way. He wouldn’t have made me a Geumtaeyang in the first place.

Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. I saved that scene separately. There will be a time when I can use it.

Besides that… I’m confident yesterday’s broadcast was very successful.

30 people when the broadcast ended. It may look shabby, but for a small streamer, this can be called a great achievement.

Also, I think I delivered various comments that fit my concept well. There’s still room for improvement, but I don’t seem to be completely talentless.

I think my task is to work hard and make consistent efforts since I still have a long way to go.

That’s why I’m planning to take the day off today, Sunday. It means I’m not streaming… Um, is there a problem?

When I said that, it seems the viewers who got quite attached over the day expressed regret and got really upset, but what can I do since I have my own things to do.

Ever since I left the orphanage and started working part-time jobs to make a living, I’ve been going to the orphanage every Sunday to help out with various things.

After coming to this world, I talked to the orphanage director, and it seems there was no major change in this world, and she expected me to come on Sundays.

Anyway, this is an indispensable part of my daily life. While it’s important to grow the broadcast and repay the director’s kindness with money, still.

Now I’m about to leave, but… my eyes keep getting caught on the leather jacket. I don’t usually wear such clothes, and I end up taking it off because it gets too hot whenever I wear it, but why can’t I give it up?

It’s probably some kind of genetic imprint on Kumtaenang’s body. I don’t know for sure, but my feet won’t move when I try to leave without wearing it.

…Damn it. I’m not usually like this.

I feel like I’ve changed a bit since becoming Kumtaenang.

###

I’m Kim Yu-mi, 18 years old.

Today is the day I have a date with my boyfriend Ji-hoo.

We’ve liked each other since the beginning of the semester, so isn’t this destiny!

Even though we’ve confessed our love, as a woman, I don’t want to show him my clumsy side…, but there’s still pain left in my leg that I twisted during P.E. class on Friday.

For now, I’ll endure it, and I’ll think about it again after the date ends.

I can see Ji-hoo from afar.

He’s not that tall, and his appearance isn’t outstanding either, but those things don’t matter. That’s not why I like Ji-hoo.

“Ji-hoo!”

“Oh Yu-mi! Sorry, did I make you wait long?”

They say men usually take a long time to get ready.

I’m not a petty woman who can’t understand being 20 minutes late!

“Yu-mi, is your leg okay now?”

“Ah, it’s a little painful, but it’s not a big deal!”

To be honest, it seemed like it would be a problem, but I shouldn’t show that weak side! But I’m inwardly happy that Ji-hoo is worried about me.

“That’s a relief! Then let’s hurry and catch the subway. We’ll be late for the movie!”

I had a slight wish that he would worry a bit more… but I shouldn’t think about that.

…

…

…

It was really close!

Ji-hoo said he was going to the bathroom, so I waited, but by the time the subway arrived, there was little time left, so we had to run down the stairs.

Ah, I think I strained my leg a bit. My leg keeps throbbing.

Fortunately, there’s one seat left.

“Ji-hoo, my leg is a little…”

“Wow! Yu-mi, there’s one seat left!”

Ji-hoo immediately went over and sat down as soon as he saw the seat.

Well… as long as Ji-hoo is happy… I should think positively. Seeing his bright smile, I think I can endure this level of pain.

Hm? It seems the person next to me is looking this way? Did Ji-hoo bump into them when he sat down?

I turned my gaze slightly in that direction…

Oh my god.

He looks fierce. Can the word “gangster” describe how fierce he looks?

His fierce eyes and disheveled blonde hair. And the piercing in his ear. Those three elements seem to represent his personality.

His charcoal-black skin that absorbs light makes his fierce appearance even more intense.

For a moment, I thought it was a relief that those eyes weren’t looking at me.

The thought of avoiding his gaze crossed my mind, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

Hidden behind his fierce demeanor… I don’t know how to describe his face. He’s handsome. Really, extremely handsome.

He doesn’t seem to be a celebrity…

Behind those fierce eyes, I can see clear eyes that I couldn’t see before. I can see his sharp nose bridge and jawline that I missed earlier. I can see his red lips that look like they’re about to utter some nasty words at any moment.

And his body? At a rough guess, he seems to be at least 180cm tall. On top of that, muscles that are too much to be concealed by a single t-shirt, not excessively but firmly toned, are showing themselves off.

Alpha male.

A few days ago, I saw people on the internet using the term “alpha female” to refer to a superior female.

He’s an alpha male. I don’t know for sure, but that’s what it seems like. Some innate instinct imprinted in my genes is making me look at this man. Isn’t this what a superior male should be called?

Gulp-

I swallowed my saliva. My gaze naturally turned towards the man’s lower body……

“Hey.”

Crap!

I need to look away naturally. If he checks if that “hey” was for me, I shouldn’t react. I should believe it wasn’t for me and pretend I didn’t notice.

Ji-hoo looks at the man with a flustered expression.

Please don’t!

“You talkin’ to me?”

Damn it, I’m screwed.

###

No, why are these words coming out of my mouth? I clearly said, “Excuse me.”

Is it some innate instinct imprinted on Geumtaeyang’s body? It seems my behavior has been getting rougher in various ways these days, and now even my way of speaking is causing trouble.

Damn it. Nothing is going right.

The male student who pushed me aside and took the seat next to me.

At first, I looked over there out of annoyance, but then I saw a female student who had come in with him in front.

Listening to their conversation, I could tell right away they were dating.

While I’m annoyed, I can understand how excited they must have felt to come out on a date as students.

But the female student didn’t seem to be in good condition. From her slightly furrowed brow to her expression that seemed a bit upset, and her constantly fidgeting leg.

Just by looking, I could sense there was an issue with her leg.

Is it right for a person with a hurt leg, especially one’s own girlfriend, to be left standing while taking the seat for oneself?

If it’s because he didn’t notice her leg hurting, how inattentive is he to his girlfriend?

Was it because some remnants of my previous world haven’t disappeared, so I felt that way seeing a woman with a hurt leg being left to stand?

No, it’s probably just as a fellow human being.

I felt uncomfortable.

Of course, I’m not in a position to say anything to these students, nor can I force giving up one’s seat, so I was just going to give up my seat instead.

I thought the sweet guy Seong Yu-han hadn’t died yet…

‘Excuse me.’

“Hey.”

Ah damn it. The girl who had been staring at me averted her gaze slightly.

But I can’t stop here.

‘Excuse me, student over there.’

“You talkin’ to me?”

You son of a b*tch.

My mouth is broken. I’m just pathetic.

###

Why is he calling me? Did I stare too openly? What will Ji-hoo think of me? No, more than that, what will happen to me? Fear engulfed me.

Gulp-

Suddenly, that man puts his arm around my shoulder.

This situation is too flustering and scary… but I can feel his firm arm through the skin of my neck. His solid chest is pressing against my body.

When I playfully pressed Ji-hoo’s arm before, it didn’t feel like this at all.

For some reason, I felt an excitement. No, I shouldn’t feel this way. I need to get a grip!

Getting flustered by a man I’m seeing for the first time.

Getting excited by a thug-like man.

As a Korean woman, I feel ashamed of myself. I don’t want to look like an unrefined woman in front of Ji-hoo.

I should say something now like, “What do you think you’re doing?” Even if he’s a man, he can’t just touch someone else’s body!

As I’m about to protest, the man licks his lips with his tongue and whispers to me.

“Are you…in pain with your leg?”

His breath piercing my ear robs me of my will. My mind goes blank.

His glistening lips, the warm breath grazing my face, the deep voice conveyed through him – it’s all so sublime.

Was I into this kind of thing?

I wish he spoke a little more. Whispered to me more.

Only a pathetic sound comes out of my mouth.

“Y…ye…ah?”

“You seem to be in a lot of discomfort with your leg… Did you get hurt? Are you okay? It’ll only get worse if you stand. It looks like you came out on a date, wouldn’t it be better to sit together with your boyfriend and go comfortably? I’ll give up my seat for you, oppa. Rest easy and go.”

“That’s… that’s… that…”

A man with looks surpassing celebrities and a perfect body is hugging my shoulder and whispering in my ear.

I’m confident no woman could maintain her sense in this situation.

Ji-hoo is watching me, but my mouth won’t move. My instincts want to prolong this moment.

“Hey! What are you doing to my girlfriend right now?”

“…What?”

To Ji-hoo’s shout, the man’s response was one word.

Seeing the man’s chilling expression, fear was evident on Ji-hoo’s face.

When Ji-hoo shouted to help me, I briefly had this thought: Why are you butting in?

It felt like if I was any later, I wouldn’t be able to break away from this man.

I should be the one protecting Ji-hoo… I’m Ji-hoo’s girlfriend… I need to get a grip…

…

…

…

No… No, that’s not it.

What has Ji-hoo done for me?

He was 20 minutes late for our appointment time. He didn’t really care that my leg hurt, and when he knew my leg hurt, he took the last remaining seat for himself.

But what about this man?

Even though it’s our first meeting, he noticed there was an issue with my leg and offered his seat to me. This man accommodated me. …Oppa accommodated me.

I can’t think rationally.

I’m getting addicted to the faint scent from oppa’s body.

I wish he would keep hugging me.

I wish he would keep hugging me.

“Tch.”

Ah, oppa is pulling away from me.

I’m filled with a sense of regret.

As time passed, the dazed state of my mind gradually returned.

[This role was —-]

As the door opened, oppa left, and these incompetent guys filled the space oppa vacated.

“Yu-mi, are you okay?! What kind of person was that?!”

The incompetent guy… no, Ji-hoo speaks.

“Yeah… I guess…”

Ji-hoo looks at me with a worried expression…… but for some reason, Ji-hoo’s face, Ji-hoo’s everything… looked so inadequate today.

I’m not sure if today’s date will go well.

I just wanted to see oppa one more time.

I wanted to be hugged again by oppa’s solid body.

###

What is life? Why is it so torturous?

I was just trying to give up my seat with good intentions, but the girl got scared and the guy got mad at me.

No, it’s too unfair.

This damn Kumtaenang body is always the problem.

I kept grumbling as I walked down the path.

After walking a little further and seeing the orphanage up ahead, my mood rapidly improved.

This is the first joyful moment since I fell into this world.

I’m worried if the orphanage family has changed much or not, but it doesn’t matter. They’re family.

Heading towards my heart’s hometown,

I quickened my pace.
