Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 78

Chapter 78 – Close Relationship

After the chaos had subsided, concerns about me started appearing in the chat. They were truly sweet girls, worrying about a sweet guy like me.

Well, I’m not someone whose mental state would be shaken by such things anyway.

I’m a man who was called an ace at construction sites and was loved by all the older workers.

That kind of mental fortitude is impossible for ordinary people.

Of course, there might be people who genuinely object to this, and I can fully understand their feelings.

But whatever happens, I don’t think they can overcome the madness of our streaming room.

“Why are you worried today? How could anyone’s insults be worse than the se*xual harassment you all do?”

-Ah
-Got nothing to say….
-For real lolol
-Ah that’s just joking lol
-Fr lol

Such confident people. It’s nice to see their self-assurance.

Actually, if you think about it, receiving insults might be harder than dealing with meaningless se*xual harassment.

But in the end, it’s all the same thing.

“What do you mean joking? Anyway, we have someone like Aristo in our room. The punctuation villain. When they see that, even the insulters will leave on their own.”

-Won’t the insulters start making se*xual jokes?
-The punctuation villain was here earlier too lolol
-Honestly, looking at the streamer, it’s hard to hold back se*xual jokes

At the mention of our stream’s pride, the punctuation villain, Ari’s body shook violently.

Was it because the stream appearance was sudden? She had been stiff and unable to act properly since earlier, but now suddenly this reaction.

Is it because it overlaps with her name?

-Why is Rete acting like that lolol
-Please kick Rete out because it’s breaking immersion…..please stop…..
-I won’t insult anymore so please change your clothes…..
-At least kick Rete out….
-How about we call it a draw?….Let’s stop now….

A feast of ellipses. Such a satisfying reaction.

My tension isn’t going down today. The excitement from when I first saw this reaction is still there.

I continued with the method acting.

“What are you saying? I’m not generous enough to grant requests from incompetent people like you.”

-Our Hayato wouldn’t use such words!
-How did you analyze the character like that
-Bring Hina quickly
-If only Rete hadn’t dyed their hair…..
-Why! Did heaven create Hayato and then create Geum Taeyang!!

I smiled with satisfaction. Though to call it a satisfying expression… it was just the usual villainous smile.

I recalled memories from the past. Memories from before coming to this reversed world.

When I saw an attractive art style on ‘that site’ and clicked in, only to find some weird Geum Taeyang standing next to the female protagonist, how devastated was I? It was the end result of someone who didn’t check the tags.

But the fact that they came to my stream even knowing the content… isn’t that evidence they’ve agreed to suffer to some extent?

If so, I should prepare something worthy of the time they’ve invested.

While I was thinking hard about what to do next to make viewers go crazy.

The expert in this field started to take action.

That is.

Geum Taeyang’s instinct.

Raising my right hand to cover my eyes with the back of it.

It means I said lines like:
“I, Hayato, am master’s faithful slave.”

While I did name it, weren’t you Geum Taeyang’s instinct? Was bi*tch included in that too?

Or does being an expert mean understanding even the hearts of those who get NT*R’d?

I knew this instinct often crossed lines, but I didn’t expect it to suddenly accelerate in this way.

Ah, this might seem a bit random, but there’s one particularly notable characteristic of Geum Taeyang’s instinct.

That is.

After sudden acceleration, it never takes responsibility for its actions.

I’m not sure if I should identify Geum Taeyang’s instinct with myself, but setting aside such philosophical questions.

I just regained control of my body, but.

I really can’t bring myself to remove this hand covering my eyes.

I wish Ari would show some kind of reaction, but seeing her hand trembling on my shoulder… I probably can’t expect anything.

I raised my idle left hand and covered my face with both hands.

“Rete… you can go now.”

“O-okay…”

-What are these guys doing
-The dialogue is insane lololol
-This is causing serious internal damage damn…..
-Please stop for god’s sake…….

I returned to my chair.

There was only defeat for both the broadcaster and all viewers.

[Today’s Crazy Broadcast]

(Geum Taeyang broadcast clip)

Isn’t this guy insane with his lines lololol Even he’s embarrassed lolol

Well it was fun watching the weebs go crazy but damn when Rete came in the picture got really weird

I heard they’re living together these days and somehow it feels like Geum Taeyang is being taken away and it feels weird

-If it was the old Rete it would probably just be funny but this….
└Damn need to do something about that hair dye
└Isn’t the piercing more of an issue than the dye
└Geum Taeyang got piercings too isn’t there something going on for real
└Really showing your newbie status
└Geum Taeyang already said he recommended the piercing to Rete

-Can’t lose our pure Taeyang…
└Looking like a slut what are you talking about
└lol this guy hasn’t watched the stream
└Haven’t watched so you can insult? Idiot?

-But the cosplay was really arousing
└Damn the clothes choice shows real knowledge
└Fr first time getting wet watching a male streamer
└Fr lol

-What is this? That’s Rete? Why did she become like that? Hasn’t been that long since I watched?
└Started getting weird two months ago
└Then you missed all the Geum Taeyang collabs lolol
└Why live if you missed that? lolol
└Fr lol

—

[Upvote if you don’t miss this guy]

That’s Rete from two months ago

-Damn really don’t miss her lolol
└Current form is insane
└Got really fun when chat regulations were lifted
-Random breaks but still fun
└Fr lol
└Fr would be good even if only twice a week
└?
└Not that
└Sorry

-Looking at how she talks nothing’s really changed
└That’s true lol
└But wasn’t she too serious back then
└It was fun because she streamed well even when serious
└People like that feel really new even with small changes

Hmm. This level of reaction seems good enough to like.

Even if the reaction wasn’t good, it wouldn’t matter much, but better is better.

But seeing reactions about Ari in similar proportions to reactions about my stream makes me feel strange.

I wonder if I caused trouble by inviting her to my stream. That kind of guilty feeling.

But well… in the community posts I checked, everyone was praising Ari so it should be fine…?

No, is it really praise? They’re saying it’s fun so probably?

Anyway, Ari, who briefly appeared on my stream yesterday, went back to her laptop to work after her appearance but just sat there blankly for a while.

I was starting to worry until I saw her slowly typing, which relieved me, but. The uneasiness couldn’t be helped.

I approached Ari after the stream ended to apologize if she felt bad.

As I always say… but I’d never seen Ari look so awkward before.

Stuttering, eagerly wiping the chair with tissues when I was doing something else, heading to the bathroom with an awkward posture, changing out of the pajama pants she’d been wearing.

And after that too. Startling whenever I spoke to her, pulling the blanket up to her head when sleeping.

That state continued until this morning.

From what I heard her say, it doesn’t seem like I earned her hatred… but I can’t help resenting Geum Taeyang’s instinct again.

Even though I probably had some sudden accelerations too, it wasn’t to that extent.

I sighed and started browsing community sites on my phone again.

Today I posted a break notice because I had to go out for broadcast-related work, and maybe because of that, I woke up later than usual.

As I slowly woke up, I felt an oddly soft sensation.

Why am I in bed? Today was supposed to be my turn to sleep on the floor?

While I was trying to figure out the situation, I heard a voice from the other side.

“Ah, you’re already up? I moved you since you seemed to be sleeping deeply. Keep resting there.”

Did he lift me directly onto the bed?

Even though I haven’t gained weight, I’m not that light.

I looked at Yuhan’s body.

An overwhelming figure no matter when you look at it. Superior physique. Although I usually can’t stand being overpowered by men physically, with Yuhan I don’t think anything of it.

Just looking is enough to make me happy.

Anyway, the appropriately warm house is filled with delicious smells.

Looking at Yuhan, he’s wearing an apron and tasting soup. The image of a domestic man I saw before.

The bed wasn’t particularly good, but today this spot feels especially cozy.

“Not going to sleep more? Still, try resting there for now. I’ll call you when the food’s ready.”

He smiled at me as he said that.

Yuhan hasn’t showered yet, so he’s not exactly in a pristine state.

But, that appearance seems even more attractive than usual.

From the morning… Yesterday was hard too, but today my heart is pounding from the morning.

I’m happy.

I’m happier than any other moment could compare to.

Yuhan brought me a cup of water.

I slightly covered my head with my hand. In such a happy moment, I didn’t want to show this appearance to Yuhan.

“Hey, why are you covering up again. I’ve only brushed my teeth too. Aren’t we closer than that?”

“T-that…”

“No matter how messy you get, you’re prettier than most people, so you don’t need to do that.”

How can they say such things so easily?

Is it because he doesn’t see me as a romantic interest? Because ge only sees me as a ‘friend’?

As I slowly lower my hand, Yuhan hands me the water with a smile.

Everyone says morning is when they look their worst.

They say the state right after waking up isn’t something you want to show others unless they’re family.

The word ‘couple’ floats through my mind.

Showing each other embarrassing sides without concern… doesn’t that mean we’re that close?

I cooled my heating body with cold water.

I handed the empty cup back to Yuhan.

“Th-thank you…”

Someday.

I hope I can add the word ‘honey’ after those words.
