Chapter 54 - Virtual Date (2)
Bang, bang-!
Before I knew it, it had gotten dark, and fireworks were bursting in the sky.
Moving from the zoo to a quiet riverside.
In the romantic atmosphere with the moon’s reflection on the water surface, faces that were dark brighten up with each burst of fireworks.
-Turns out this guy was a real deal. The enemy of us singles! Die!
-Die, popular person! Die, popular person! Die, popular person!
The start gave a light and enjoyable feeling with the zoo, and the finish captured romance with the fireworks festival by the river.
This guy is a pro.
If I were really a woman, I would have been quite heart-fluttered.
[You are heart-fluttering though.]
‘Shut up!’
This is all because of the body that suddenly changed into a woman.
If it were the original me, I wouldn’t have felt anything!
I wanted to elbow Matdang’s avatar that was sneakily putting an arm around my shoulder, but I barely endured it.
Whew, is this the weight of being a pro BJ?
-Cut off that hand!
-Guillotine… Prepare the guillotine. We’ll hold an execution today.
-That’s too weak. Prepare stakes and poles. It’s time for burning at the stake!
The familiar nicknames are viewers who followed from my room.
But unlike usual, the chat content is quite aggressive.
I thought they were well-mannered people, but this is an unexpected side I learned here.
“How was it?”
“Hmm… it was good.”
After the fireworks ended, we returned to the Bar through the portal.
Seeing him making a sly expression in bartender attire, I wanted to hit him once, but I barely endured and looked at the last participant who had been waiting for a long time.
Nickname Healthman.
A name that matches his avatar very well.
Brawny muscles.
He slowly approached and suggested changing clothes.
He says we’re going to exercise.
Huh? Exercise?
For a moment I thought I heard wrong, but seeing him nodding silently, I confirm there’s nothing wrong with my hearing function.
-Is Healthman a god? Is Healthman a god? Is Healthman a god?
-Wholesome… very good. This is how broadcasts should be. Cut out the two guys before and let’s go with this route.
We move through the portal.
This time too, Clmumu is at the entrance.
We buy memberships and enter the building, and it really is a gym.
A place full of numerous exercise equipment… a place that has become rapidly familiar over the past week.
Even after confirming the interior, I was hopeful, but Healthman really took a spot in front of exercise equipment and started working out.
-This person is ‘real’. He’s my kind. Perfect.
-Ah, we were certain Healthman was single. We will all support Healthman with one heart and mind.
At first, I was dumbfounded.
I was a bit ‘speechless’ too.
What is today’s content?
It’s content where they prepare what they think is a good date course, show it to me, and get chosen.
Does this person really think ‘gym date’ will be chosen?
Commonsensically? Ang? Unless the woman is a gym freak…
But I’m a pro BJ!
I perform the given role to the best of my ability.
Fortunately, since I started exercising recently, I learned how to handle basic equipment, so I started exercising following Healthman.
-Gym newbie, what kind of life have you lived to have such a date with a woman…
-Just thinking about Healthman brings me to tears. I’m gaining courage to live by watching him!
Seeing the chat’s reactions, I unknowingly felt sympathy and spoke to Healthman.
Asking him to teach me how to exercise.
Then he smiles the brightest I’ve seen so far.
I put strength in the part he teaches, pull, and hold until he says ok.
Then release.
I get pointed out on lacking parts and praised for well-done parts while conquering exercise equipment one by one.
Most viewers were bored, and they were indignant at the betrayal of physical contact that occurred in the process of teaching exercise, but honestly, I felt most comfortable among today’s dates.
It reminded me of exercising hard recently, and moreover, Healthman’s large build that could be intimidating to women felt familiar because it was similar to Myunghoon’s.
Of course, Healthman isn’t Myunghoon.
That guy was quite sociable, though not as much as Yunjin.
“Thank you.”
“Pardon?”
The exercise time ended.
Healthman suddenly expresses thanks.
Then he makes a sincere confession.
As everyone expected, he was single, and sharing his favorite time with a woman was a small dream.
“That’s… exercise?”
“Yes.”
“……”
I thought he was living quite a boring life, but if that’s this person’s way of life, shouldn’t it be respected?
And sincerity should be answered with sincerity.
I told him my impression of the date with tense eyes.
“I liked it. I recently registered at a gym run by my friend’s family and was in the middle of exercising hard. And seeing Healthman reminded me of my friend, so it felt somewhat familiar.”
“Th-Then!”
It’s a personal impression.
And if I’m not going to date Healthman, I can’t let him live in vain delusion.
So I said playfully, pushing his forehead slightly with my index finger so as not to hurt his feelings.
“But that’s because it was me! OK! For the woman you’ll meet next, consider a date that she might like rather than what you like, and put in effort.”
“……”
“Understand?”
“Y-Yes!”
Healthman seemed to have a blank expression for a moment.
What’s this reaction?
But the chat was just as noisy.
-Ma, Mama! Mama has returned.
-Hani Mama! Scold me too. Scold me!
-ㄷㄷ;; The chat is crazy. Please kick out the weirdos.
-Is this why they say Hani, Hani? For real, my heart fluttered for a moment.
“……”
It wasn’t intentional, but anyway, today’s date is over.
“Ah, I’m tired. I’ve done a big job.”
To celebrate the successfully ended joint broadcast, I had a light after-party with Clmumu’s family.
Sister Yuri with amazing cooking skills.
Seeing her face often, we gained some familiarity so I ended up calling her that.
Actually, we’d be the same age when I was a man… but there’s no point in calculating now, and she already has two children, so even if we’re the same age, she’s clearly much more of an adult than me.
Anyway, I ate a delicious dinner with the food Sister Yuri prepared, and while escaping from the clutches of the first child Hyunwoo who was eyeing my chest at every opportunity, I barely made it home.
Scary kid.
He must be reincarnated for sure.
Knowing what’s good from age 3…
[You were tired but enjoyed it, right? You even had a date after a long time.]
“What do you mean enjoyed!”
Does it make sense for a man to enjoy dating another man?
Rather, I should be terrified and run away immediately.
[But your heart was fluttering, wasn’t it?]
“Th-That’s because this body is a woman now… Yeah, it reacted like that biologically. Hey! Not mentally.”
[Anyway, you admit it fluttered.]
“… Ugh, shut up! You should read the room. You numbskull!”
I forcibly shut the helper’s mouth and recall the last highlight scene of today’s joint broadcast.
The moment of choice.
After all three people’s dates ended, we changed locations.
When I saw the map, I burst out laughing in disbelief.
Isn’t this a wedding hall?
The three people seemed to have been tipped off in advance, as they were all changed into formal wear.
Clmumu gives me a look.
He intends for me to change into the wedding dress from when I first appeared.
I don’t know how a date leads directly to a wedding ceremony… Anyway, thinking I couldn’t break the flow, I obediently changed clothes and stood in front of the platform.
Then Clmumu, who had somehow taken the officiant’s place, put on a solemn expression and shouted to choose the date that resonated the most today.
At the same time, the three people kneel on one knee, close their eyes, and extend their right hands.
A BGM that’s low but strangely heightens people’s tension fills the surroundings, and the chat’s reaction was about to explode.
I check each person in order.
First, Leo.
Cultural activities like movies or plays, and meals in classy places.
It wasn’t bad.
If I were a woman close to marriageable age, it might have been the most preferred date.
Second, Matdang.
Amusement park, resort, zoo, and watching fireworks by a beautiful river.
The former reminded me of memories from when I was younger… the latter of times when I was dating a lot.
Lastly, Healthman.
This was personally comfortable, but that’s just my peculiarity; objectively speaking, it’s not quite right.
To appeal to women, he definitely needs to put in more effort!
Anyway, so my conclusion is…
They were trying to keep a calm expression, but their outstretched hands were trembling slightly.
I gently took that hand.
“Ah!”
-Ah, please! This can’t be.
-Noona don’t abandon me! Noona don’t abandon me! Noona don’t abandon me!
-We loved each other. How can you forget those memories. Remember our happy days.
-The one above is writing song lyrics. Don’t get too immersed and just watch the broadcast as a broadcast ㅋ
The chat was in chaos.
Regardless of such reactions, I took Matdang’s hand and raised him up.
His expression filled with surprise as our eyes met.
Leo and Healthman clapped lightly and stepped back.
“The one chosen as today’s best date partner is No. 1! It’s Matdang-nim! Congratulations!”
Various special effects burst out announcing Matdang’s victory.
Matdang with a genuinely happy expression.
Various empty praises followed, and Clmumu threw a line to Matdang with a solemn expression, ‘Is there anything you wish from Hani-nim?’
Then Matdang looked straight at me as if he had been waiting and asked bravely.
“Can I… get your phone number?”
His courage is admirable.
22 years old this year.
An age that should be shining brightly with youth and vigor.
I smiled and answered.
“Yeah. No.”
“……”
“……”
-Kya! This is it. This is exactly what I wanted.
-Is Hani a god! Is Hani a god! Is Hani a god!
-This is proper education. How dare you, you greenhorn!
I liked the date course.
It reminded me of old dating memories and was nice.
But that’s that, and my contact information is a different matter.
How dare a man look down on me!
‘Huh? Then how will I… until I return to my original body…’
I can’t meet women with a woman’s body either.
It was a moment when a new worry arose.
