It's a Gender-Reversed World, But I Don't Go Out Anyway - Chapter 37
Chapter 37: Viewers’ Room

[If you’re this rich, give some allowance to Daeju!]
[Yeah, looking at the photo carefully, there’s even Shine Muscat[1] grapes on that kitchen island counter – definitely super-rich!]
[Wow, you noticed that? Holy sh*t lololol Are you Mongolian?]
[Lololol That’s creepy]
“Wow, but is this really your house?”
It was such a nice house that it was suspicious.
Well, I thought that with over a thousand people gathered, there might be at least one person living in such a house, but seeing it in reality was so surprising that it made me doubt.
I mean, this was the kind of house you’d only see in dramas.
The feeling was exactly like those rich households in dramas where they have housekeepers – this house in the photo had that exact same image. What kind of job would let you live in a house like this? A corporate chairman? That’s always how it is in dramas.
“Do you have a housekeeper too?”
[Lololol I was thinking the same thing]
[Nah, probably no housekeeper, but maybe they call cleaning services occasionally?]
[Looks like there are multiple photos, let’s scroll down]
[Right, we’ve only seen the living room so far lololol]
“Ah.”
Without realizing it, I had been staring intensely at just one photo, thinking it was a studio apartment.
Come to think of it, if it’s such a rich house, there must be multiple rooms, right? Honestly, by my standards, if a house had more than two bathrooms, it counted as wealthy, so I was getting curious about how many bathrooms this house had.
The next photo seemed to be their room.
In the spacious room, there was a bed, computer, mini-fridge, and what looked like an indoor bicycle from a gym, yet it still looked quite spacious. There was an air conditioner on the ceiling. What do they call those again? Not a mole-type AC… System air conditioning? Built-in air conditioning? Honestly, I’m not sure what it’s called, but anyway, it was the type you only see in nice houses.
Still, showing some human touch, unlike the spotless living room, their personal room was messily cluttered.
[Wait, this one room is about the size of Daeju’s entire studio apartment?]
[Shhh! We need to speak quietly so Daeju can’t hear!]
[Does… the yellow cow work well?]
[Night work is Daeju’s specialty.]
“Still, my place feels more friendly though. Plus one point for my house.”
[It might be friendly, but I want to become friends with that rich friend lol]
[What are you talking about lol We should try to get close to Daeju and aim for marriage]
[But if we become friends and get married, it’ll be just a boring pure love story. No thrill. I’m aiming for married men lol]
[?????]
With each new photo, it felt like seeing a different dimension.
For example, there were two kitchens. They said one was the main cooking kitchen and the other was a auxiliary kitchen, but I wondered if that was really necessary?
There was even something called a guest room.
Surprisingly, it was a room for guests, but they said they normally use it as an exercise room. Wait, they already had an indoor bicycle in their room, but they had a separate exercise room with what looked like a home gym? When viewers asked if they were a gym rat, they said they just prefer working out at home because they don’t like being conscious of others at the gym.
And ultimately, there were three bathrooms.
[This is outrageous, let’s get some allowance.]
[With this level of wealth, the allowance would probably be as much as a part-time job salary?]
[Hurry up and donate]
[User ’29HoursSleepPossible’ has donated 50,000 won]
My 50,000 won… damn.
I didn’t expect it, but they readily donated 50,000 won at the viewers’ request.
They could have just ignored it, but still.
[Baby want more]
[Give our Daeju more allowance, baby]
[Contribute to the development of the studio apartment]
[You have lots of money… hehe]
Even though I was satisfied, these viewers weren’t satisfied.
Why?
“Ah~ Thank you so much for the 50,000 won. No, why are others asking for more? I’m fine with this.”
How often do you get the chance to see every corner of such an expensive house, and they’re helping my stream by showing it – why would I ask for money too?
Still, I gratefully accepted the donated money.
“This first post is quite something.”
[Aren’t Daeju’s viewers pretty average?]
[Guess I’m not a viewer then;;]
[Not jealous at all lol I have an inner connection with Daeju since I live in a studio apartment too lol]
[Living in the same studio apartment layout… this is practically living together…]
“Isn’t there a house that’s more relatable than this rich house? Like a regular family home or a studio apartment?”
In a different sense, I needed a house that would cleanse my eyes.
[Look at my house too, it’s ordinary]
“Really? Is it truly an ordinary house?”
Honestly, there needs to be at least some relatability for it to be more fun. The previous house was interesting to look at, but rather than fun, it felt more like looking at something strange, like watching a colorful frog at the zoo – there was absolutely no relatability, but you end up staring blankly at it.
It wasn’t the kind of house I had in mind.
Honestly, I wasn’t even that envious of a house at that level.
Just like how I might envy someone who invested well in stocks or cryptocurrency, but feel less envious of a Mansour or oil baron.
“Oh, this person lives in a studio apartment too”
I found their post on the board, and from the title itself, I was glad to see “studio apartment” written there.

[You humble folks, come see my precious house]
(Photo)
As you can see, it’s a loft-style studio. I’ve always dreamed of living in a two-story place so I got this, but no lie, it’s annoying as hell. The second floor is for sleeping, but even though I’m short, I hit my head on the ceiling. Every morning when I try to stretch in bed, my hands or head hit the ceiling, ruining my mood first thing in the morning.
But the first floor is super comfortable since I stuffed everything like the bed, computer, and you know, trash up on the second floor.
So when guests come over, as long as I don’t show them the second floor, they compliment me saying I live well and have a nice place.
[Comments]
– The first floor is clean but the second floor is literally a landfill. Aren’t you bothered sleeping there? You’ll get sick;;;
ã„´ OP: I don’t grow up that weakly. I sleep like a lion cub falling off a cliff
ã„´ Ever consider your parents just didn’t like you and dropped you?
ã„´ You climb up there and make it dirty like you’re climbing up a cliff lololol
– I was hesitant to post my room because it’s messy, but teacher, you’ve given me courage.
ã„´ Lololololol Agreed
– First floor is cute girl, second floor is puke girl lololol
– In the end, you got a good loft apartment though;; Having just the second floor dirty is better than the whole place…

“Can’t you clean up a bit…”
While the first floor was so clean it could be a model house with its pristine white furniture, the photo of the second floor was simply tragic. First of all, the trash can had become a tower of garbage. It wasn’t even that small of a trash can, but somehow they managed to stack it up, and I wondered how one person living alone could produce so much garbage – it was pushing past the lid, exceeding the trash can’s limits.
Recyclable plastic containers and beverage bottles were lined up for some reason. They probably thought they were neatly arranged from their perspective, but it just made everything look twice as messy.
And there were clothes scattered on the floor-
[Holy sh*t lololololol Is that a push-up bra?]
[Lololololololol You crazy girl, if you’re going to take photos you should at least pretend to clean up, but you just went ahead and photographed your bra]
[Is she showing it on purpose?]
[Wow… let’s live life like her, just whatever lololol]
[Just living because she was born lololol]
Including underwear.
I instinctively scrolled down immediately and checked the chat’s reaction.
“Guys, won’t this get us suspended?”
[??? Why would you get suspended for that? Underwear might show sometimes]
[As long as it’s not nudity it’s fine lololol]
[They don’t suspend for that level]
[Whatever]
Since everyone said it was fine, I scrolled back up without worry.
Something pink on the floor kept catching my eye, but I deliberately ignored it.
“But I understand, I mean if it’s the second floor and guests can’t see it anyway, it might get a bit messy”
[Is that so?]
[For real, just having the first floor clean shows diligence]
[But isn’t it uncomfortable sleeping in such a dirty place?]
[Look at these kids acting clean when they haven’t even posted photos of their rooms lol let’s be honest, your rooms are messy too lol]
Even though it was a loft, being a studio apartment meant there wasn’t much to see.
However, seeing a human-like home made me feel more at ease. Yeah, I guess I don’t live that messily after all.

[Look at my house]
(Photo)
I live with my parents, and our house has a basement that I use. The funny thing is, I’m too lazy and think interior design costs are a waste, so I just live roughly, but when my friend came over last time, they were really shocked lol
[Comments]
– Are you a horror movie serial killer?
ã„´ ;;; For real, I saw this in a horror movie
ã„´ The basement, a place that shouldn’t have any human traces, yet somehow there are signs of life…?
– Damn, because of you I won’t be able to sleep alone tonight;;
– Don’t you get sleep paralysis?
– How did you even find a house with a basement? This is really suspicious.
ã„´ OP: I live overseas
ã„´ Don’t they usually tell you to move out when you come of age overseas?
ã„´ OP: We live overseas but my family is all Korean so they told me to use the basement
ã„´ Looking at the basement situation, that seems like a polite way of telling you to move out

“Isn’t this a horror movie set?”
Even at a glance, it didn’t look like a place where people live.
To put it nicely, it was like a very cheap bunker, and that’s being extremely generous. To put it badly, it looked like the kind of place where a maniac with a chainsaw could turn someone into enoki mushrooms and it wouldn’t seem out of place.
Even if I were offered 1 million won to live there for a week, I couldn’t do it.
Not because I’m well-off, but unless I was completely destitute, I couldn’t live there for fear of going insane – that’s the kind of visuals it had.
[Let’s help Daeju become independent with money]
[Yeah, if you have a conscience, let’s give that 50,000 won from earlier;;]
[Hey, but who’s that person in the last photo?]
[F*ck don’t do that! You f*cking! Sh*tty f*cking twin-j*rking b*tch!]
[Lololololol They’re so scared they’re combining all the curse words they know lololol]
Seems I wasn’t the only one who was scared.
Honestly, that place is… a haunted place. I’m not a shaman or the type who can see things they shouldn’t, but still, that place was definitely haunted.
“Ah really, I can’t watch anymore. Really.”
[I’m scared too but seeing Daeju being scared makes me feel a bit better]
[Let’s make him play horror games later]
[But rather than horror games, sending them to that basement would probably get real reactions]
The time wasn’t quite right to end the broadcast yet.
“Um… uh… Should we play games for a while?”
[Oh?]
[What’s this about?]
[Too scared to watch more > But need to continue streaming > No preparation so games]
[That’s accurate.]
