Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 – A Happy Family

Sunday lunch time.

In this place without Ari’s parents and the uncle who helps with housework.

A man’s desperate struggle was unfolding.

Following Jihun’s suggestion that it would be more fun to chat with viewers, he hastily started streaming.

My flashy ingredient preparation skills cultivated while watching NewTube, combined with the back-and-forth with viewers.

Though I’m still not sure if starting NewTube with cooking videos is the right choice.

At least this video seemed like it would turn out fun.

This kid Jihun. Whether it’s because he’s Ari’s brother or not, he came up with a genius idea. I’ll have to give him some allowance for this.

Anyway, regardless of the topic, it can’t be helped. When you don’t know what to do, doing what you’re confident in is probably the best choice.

Of course, I was also confident in gaming, which was the main focus of my broadcasts. Especially since I felt my gaming skills had improved dramatically since getting this body.

But… I haven’t changed my computer yet…

Damn. I earned money but forgot about the important stuff.

-Making fried rice every day with these skills is ridiculous

-You’re doing such fancy knife work today for NewTube lololol

-Who wants to watch someone make fried rice

“Who’s watching? You guys are.”

-ㅠ…

-Please no….

These view-hungry slaves… no, viewers asking obvious questions.

Well, just kidding. While NewTube traffic is something to consider, getting live broadcast viewers to properly migrate to NewTube is the top priority.

-Where are you filming this now?

-Must be at Rete’s place again

-Reasonable suspicion lol

“What… Even though I’ve been mooching off her, do I look like someone who can’t do anything without Rete?”

-Why so serious streamer….

-If you say so lol

-Well you admitted to mooching lololol

What sharp viewers these are.

I continued broadcasting with a thick face.

Several minutes later. After a time filled with so much content that it might need heavy editing, the dish was finally complete.

Hmm.

Of course, egg fried rice.

-Wow….

-Egg fried rice again

-‘That dish’ is complete

“Why are you reacting like that? Can’t you show some proper reactions?”

-WOW!!!!!!!!

-WA!!!!

-Looks so delicious!!

Normally I would have moved on to eating now, but today I quickly ended the broadcast after eating just a little rice.

…With an embarrassing comment.

“Then please like and… s-subscribe… Haah…”

-Now that’s our Taeyang

-Why are you shy about this stuff lololol

And then. With my middle finger standing straight up.

Although Jihun made quite a shocked expression, I couldn’t stand being teased. This was actually my broadcasting style too.

Right after the broadcast. I took out a 50,000 won bill and walked over to Jihun.

“I bestow this upon you for giving me a good idea.”

A smile spread across Jihun’s face as he heard my solemn voice.

“Oh my! Hyung! You didn’t have to give me something like this…!”

He’s a kid with such rich reactions that it makes you forget about the reversed world.

“Yuhan! You don’t have to give him something like that…! Hey, Seol Jihun. Give that back…”

“Come on, we’re so close. I can give something like this. I even send snacks when I’m bored anyway.”

“Right. We’re like sworn brothers, and noona worries too much.”

“Huh? Were we that close originally…?”

It’s strange. With Jihun, it feels like we’re family.

Even though Jihun follows me well, we have gotten quite close.

Maybe internal closeness built up because of Ari.

It feels like I’m gradually seeping into Ari’s family. That sounds a bit weird but anyway.

This… I wonder if the day will come when I meet Ari’s parents?

I’ve already given up on first impressions but I hope they’ll look at me favorably.

I divided up the fried rice and set the table.

The meal at Ari’s family home began.

###

Ari’s parents were the people who became Ari’s goal.

Her mother was a famous member of the National Assembly. An icon of self-made success, popular for her unique integrity and uprightness.

Her father was a professor in the Ethics Education department at a prestigious university.

Outstanding character and appearance, money and power and social prestige. What people commonly call elite, perhaps even beyond that.

A harmonious couple who even succeeded in raising their children well, they became either objects of envy or idols to those around them.

They were people who had nothing to envy from others.

“Ari seems to have changed a bit these days.”

“Yeah. She tried so hard just to call me dad and now she finally does.”

“Her personality seems to have gotten a bit gentler too.”

“Ari’s personality was a bit rigid. She took after you.”

“Dear…”

“Ahaha! But it seems she’s only changing in good ways.”

“Yeah. That’s really fortunate.”

Both of them had work today, Sunday, and were just now returning home in the evening.

Smiles of satisfaction bloomed in the car.

Having watched Ari for a long time, they clearly noticed that their daughter’s personality had changed.

They were proud of their daughter who was growing into an even better person even after becoming an adult.

They were so happy to see the change in their daughter who used to treat them rigidly.

They knew that rigidity contained affection, but still, atmosphere matters.

“I wonder if she’s getting along well with Junhyuk.”

“Wouldn’t it be stranger if those two didn’t get along?”

“That’s true. They’ve been so close since they were young. Just, lately there haven’t been any calls from Junhyuk. That kid who used to always call and say ‘uncle’.”

“Really? He must be very busy.”

“Hmm… I wonder when they’ll get married?”

“Haha! Isn’t it still too early? She’s not even in her mid-20s yet.”

“Well, if they like each other, they’ll do it. We got married at that age too, right?”

“Haha! That’s true.”

All of Ari’s family, including Seol Jihun, had a certain trust in that couple.

That they would never break up. That there was little possibility of discord.

That they would naturally spend their lives together.

That pleasant conversation continued even in the apartment elevator.

“I wonder if Jihun is home?”

“Who knows… He’s always out and about.”

“Well, Ari probably hasn’t come again…”

After waiting a moment, the elevator doors opened.

However, both soon felt something strange.

“Hm? Don’t you smell something?”

“…. Smells like cooking. Maybe the neighbors are preparing food?”

“They said they were going on a long trip. What could it be? Jihun can’t cook…”

Since they didn’t feel it was anything important, they naturally entered the door code and.

When the door opened, along with some kind of noisy sound from inside.

A woman jumped out.

“Hm? Who…”

“Ah, Ari?!”

“Ah… Welcome back… You’re early…?”

They couldn’t recognize at a glance that the woman in front of them was Ari.

The Ari they knew was someone who pursued neatness.

Someone who had lived with neat black long hair for several years before and after military service.

Above all.

Given Ari’s personality.

They couldn’t imagine she would get piercings like that.

“Ah, Ari?”

“Ari, what’s with that suddenly…”

Though she looked very much like Ari, they couldn’t be certain.

Even though her personality had changed recently, their daughter wasn’t someone who would like this kind of change.

“Welcome back! Mom, did you see noona’s dyed hair? I was super shocked! She even has piercings. Ahaha!”

But Seol Jihun confirmed it with his frivolous tone.

That the woman standing there with an embarrassed expression was definitely their daughter.

It wasn’t that they had any fixed notions.

They didn’t think piercings were bad, nor did they view hair dying negatively.

They were just bewildered by this situation they had never once imagined.

Ari’s mother quickly regained her composure.

She thought that if her daughter had changed her image, she shouldn’t just be surprised but should give some compliments.

“When did you dye your hair? It suits you we…”

Of course, her quickly regained composure didn’t last long.

Because of the man who popped out from the kitchen direction.

Because of some man with dull blonde hair, tanned skin, and piercings, with a fierce appearance.

Because of that man who naturally put his hand on their daughter’s shoulder.

The man soon removed his hand from Ari’s shoulder and bowed to them.

“Hello… I’m Seong Yuhan, Ari’s friend…”

Somehow sluggish, no, sticky way of speaking.

When he straightened up, a shrewd smile appeared.

“Ah… Mom. He’s my friend, we had something to do together at home…”

Ari said with a mix of embarrassment in her expression.

Those words didn’t enter Ari’s parents’ ears. There was no room for them to.

“This is the brother I talked about before. The one who went clothes shopping with noona and me.”

Hearing those words, they vaguely recalled.

Come to think of it, they remembered hearing that name sometime.

It was strange. That the man who was supposedly so close to their daughter, who their son had praised so much. That it was this person.

Though they had tried to abandon prejudices, there were still limits. No matter how they looked at him, this man appeared delinquent-like.

Another strange thing was.

Their Ari who hated such delinquent-like people so much.

Beyond hate, who despised them.

Who had conflicts with delinquent-like people.

Was standing next to such a man with a fresh smile on her face like someone who had just started dating.

Their daughter, whom they met after two weeks, had changed somehow in many ways.
