Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 77

Chapter 77 – Details are Life

I crack an egg into the frying pan. The egg starts browning immediately as it hits the heated pan.

Soon, I place the semi-cooked fried egg on a plate and start frying bacon in the pan.

I didn’t expect to use the bacon I had set aside for my cooking broadcast for breakfast, but I guess it’s not so bad.

I transfer the bacon, fried until crispy with the oil drained, along with the sausages I grilled alongside it, next to the egg.

It’s an American breakfast through and through. I’m also a study-abroad student who went on a 2-day cyber New York tour through NewTube.

I can say this meal tastes just like the ones in the mainland.

It’s a shame there are no pancakes, but I’m not the type to easily buy such luxuries.

Of course, it’s already past 10 o’clock, so I’m not sure if it can be called breakfast, but it’s not lunch either, so it’s still breakfast anyway.

Looking back, Ari is in the middle of her broadcast.

Since our broadcast times overlap and we’ll be living together for a while, she said she would change her broadcast schedule.

Yesterday, I was quite emotional, but I decided to forget about it all.

Well, if there really is something between us, things will work out somehow, right?

I just need to act like I usually do. There’s no need to drastically change how I treat others just because I have special feelings.

I might be wrong, but this is how a lifelong single person thinks. If people do things that don’t match their personality, situations can actually get worse.

I lightened my mood and brought breakfast to Ari.

“Ari, eat this while you broadcast.”

“Huh?! Uh… th-thank you…!”

-Wow, I’m so jealous of Rete-nim

-How can you say no to WGM (We Got Married) after this

-For real lol

-This isn’t dating, they’re straight-up married

“Why are you all using our room’s speaking style? Should I ban everyone?”

-Such a newbie

-For real lololol

-Chat restrictions have been loosened a lot

-lol knows nothing

└(Message deleted)

-Ow

-Whoa

It’s like they’re filming a comedy skit.

“Tsk, do whatever you want.”

-^^7

-^^7

-Yes

Fine. I’ve decided not to care about such things anymore.

I’m sure when I first saw it, Ari’s broadcast chat wasn’t like this.

The chat that was once full of polite speech is now about 50-50 between polite and casual speech.

Honestly, if you covered the broadcast screen, except for a few chats, you wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s my broadcast or Ari’s.

I sigh at the chat window and bring a glass of water.

“Drink this too.”

“U-um…”

“Why are you getting food all over your mouth again today? Look at me.”

“No, I just…!”

When I wiped her mouth with a tissue, Ari overreacted.

Why is she making such a big deal out of this? It’s something I’ve done occasionally. No, actually quite often.

Isn’t this just basic consideration? Is it too burdensome?

The chat window starts exploding again.

I don’t understand why basic human courtesy always turns into WGM talk.

While I do have feelings for Ari, this wasn’t done with that intention, and Ari looks uncomfortable right now anyway.

“This is just basic courtesy, why are you all overreacting? If you keep attaching meaning to trivial things, you won’t get a girlfr… I mean, boyfriend.”

-Where are the moderators….

-Please ban Geum Taeyang…..

-Are you being serious?

-This guy’s really shameless fr

└(Message deleted)

Hmm. Similar yet different reactions. This is kind of fun.

It feels like watching a slightly different version of my broadcast.

While I was enjoying these reactions for a while, one chat caught my eye.

-Taeyang-nim, are you really doing cosplay this evening?

“Well, since I said I would, I have to. I watched the original yesterday too. I’m going to buy clothes later.”

-Do you really have to do it

-Please no……….

-ㅠㅠㅠ

-Please protect Hayato ㅠㅠ

Since it was a collaboration stream, most viewers here seem to have heard about my cosplay plans.

Things are moving quite quickly, but it doesn’t matter much.

That character’s fashion can be easily replicated with the right combination of clothes, and I have the looks to pull it off well.

Except for the blonde hair, tanning, piercings, and expression, I think I can give off a similar vibe to that character.

The chat window became active again.

Come to think of it, this looks like it’s going to be quite troublesome for the moderators.

Since my broadcast doesn’t have moderators, they seem to be running wild with freedom.

Well… I’m friends with their employer, so what can I do? If they’re upset, they can take it up with their employer.

… Anyway, that’s that.

###

A month has definitely passed, and I’m not sure if it’s been two months yet. Anyway, quite some time has passed since I fell into the reverse world.

They say humans are creatures of adaptation, but embarrassingly, I don’t think I’ve properly adapted to this place yet.

Having to think about everything in reverse is still quite labor-intensive for me.

Honestly, I forget too often.

But now, in front of the clothes I bought with Ari.

The reverse filter in my head starts working actively.

All sorts of ideas are flowing about how to shock the viewers.

I hurriedly bought the clothes for cosplay as soon as Ari’s broadcast ended.

The original outfit worn by the character is a somewhat uniquely designed Japanese manga-style school uniform. The clothes I bought today can sufficiently replicate it when properly combined.

For some reason, Ari argued passionately with various reasons why I shouldn’t wear a school uniform, but my argument that it doesn’t matter since it’s not a real school uniform won out.

She was like that during the broadcast too, do I really look that bad in school uniforms?

Hmm. Well, with this visual, maybe that could be true. However, today’s point is this visual. Whether the clothes suit me or not doesn’t matter much.

I heard this character gained huge popularity in the subculture scene.

Nothing is more fun than imagining viewers shedding tears of blood while watching the cosplay of such a character.

I don’t enjoy thinking everything in reverse just because this is the reverse world.

Especially when I dress up a bit. It makes me feel like I’ve become a woman, which feels really bad.

That’s why I hate being called a vi*rgin b*itch, and why I still push the Geum Taeyang concept despite being a man in the reverse world.

But today it doesn’t matter at all.

When it’s this fun, who cares if they call me a b*itch or whatever?

“Ari, how do you think this looks?”

“Th-that! I’m not, not sure…!”

Undoing buttons, debating whether to show the clothes worn underneath.

I’ve never put this much thought into wearing clothes before, but today I could almost be called a fashionista.

That innocent woman seems to lack knowledge about the N*TR genre, but I can figure it out if I think hard enough.

I’m not sure how this will look to others, especially Ari, but I just need to do what I usually do.

I kept thinking.

The vulnerable Japanese male who gained huge popularity in a famous movie and overcame his trauma with the help of the female protagonist.

He’s about to be helplessly subjected to my cosplay.

[Cosplay Broadcast]

-lol stop joking please…….

-No way you’re really doing this? lol…. please….

-Don’t mess with our Hayato for real

-Aren’t you gonna get in trouble with the fandom

-lol this is really great.

I’m currently reading the chat while standing off-screen.

They say I might get in big trouble with the fandom?

Even if they come to raid my broadcast, can they beat those guys who make se*xual jokes all day?

Look, there’s our broadcast’s pride, the truly insane Aristo235, who always ends their messages with se*xual jokes.

With these friends, I’m not afraid of others’ harassment.

Ari said she had important work and is sitting at the kitchen table with her laptop open.

She’s just alternating between looking at the screen and me, is the visual that shocking? I’m not sure.

Anyway, I’m wearing the new black t-shirt I bought today underneath.

The dress shirt has many buttons undone to show the black shirt underneath.

I tied Ari’s cardigan around my waist. This is just because all the gyaru photos I saw before falling into the reverse world had cardigans.

The tight pants are perfect for cosplay too.

Rather than saying my personality became feminine after falling into the reverse world… I’m just too curious about how that chat will explode.

I didn’t even do gyaru makeup, so I’m still maintaining enough masculinity, right?

After confirming that enough viewers had gathered, I slowly walked in front of the screen.

And the reaction was just as I expected.

-Oh reallyyyyy what is the host doinggg

-Hayato… sorry I couldn’t protect you……

-lololol can’t believe you actually did this lol

-Isn’t this guy’s visual insane lol

-omgomg

-Actually like it fr lol

-This is too much for real….

-The detail is crazy wtf lol

The reaction was explosive.

After watching it for a moment, now for my prepared line.

“Don’t call me host. Call me Hayato.”

-Who’s Hayato

-What the hell are you doinggg

-Crazy guy lololol

This is pure happiness. This is life.

The chat is in chaos, divided between those enjoying it and those in despair.

Hmm. I expected it, but I didn’t think I’d enjoy it this much.

I guess because of the outfit… there seem to be people just simply enjoying it.

I’m not doing this content for you all to enjoy.

At first, money and popularity were the goals, but even those aren’t important now. These reactions are insufficient to achieve my purpose.

I just want everyone to be shocked.

Looking to the side, I can see Ari typing diligently. Sorry for disturbing you while you’re working so hard, but please think of it as rent.

A good idea occurred to me, so I turned off the microphone and slowly walked toward Ari.

Ari kept looking at the screen and then jumped in surprise when she looked up. Can she see me walking from that angle?

“Yu-Yu-Yuhan?! Wh-why?”*¹

“What’s with that reaction? Are you okay? Can you help me for about 5 minutes?”

“Huh? I-I’m fine, but what for…?”

“I just need you to act once, really quick? Can you come out for a moment?”

An extremely flustered Ari follows me out awkwardly. She seems very surprised by the suddenness. I should make it up to her after the broadcast.

Anyway, I focused on Ari’s current appearance.

Ari has changed a lot from before too. Got piercings, dyed her hair an unusual color.

Her characteristic sharp eyes now seem more threatening than serious.

Yes.

A woman superior in everything from figure to everything else.

Isn’t she perfect to stand next to a pure boy turned gyaru? My imagination today is truly beyond imagination.

I placed Ari’s arm on my shoulder. The height difference is slight but not enough to look strange.

With the confused and bewildered Ari.

I walked in front of the screen.

As I expected.

-?

-?

-Ah

-Oh

The laughter disappeared from the chat.

Still not enough. I want more.

“Ari, let me borrow your arm.”

After announcing that to the frozen Ari, I moved her hand from my shoulder to my chest.

What was that movie’s female lead’s name again? Hina? Was it Hina?

“Hina…? Ah, right, there was someone like that? I forgot.”

Oh, how embarrassing. To think I’m acting like this.

But I can endure this much.

-No this is too much for my brainnn

-Oh sh

-Oh… damn this is actually oh god

-No please remove Rete this is weird…

-This is a bit….

-Please stoppp aaah!!!!!!!

The reaction was satisfying.

(End of chapter)

T.N. 1. Lol. Ari was going crazy in the chat.
