I Became the Eldest Daughter of 10 Siblings

I set a place and time to meet with Jung Suhyuk and ended the call.
Before going to work at the fast food restaurant, I turned on and progressed quickly. I wanted to finish the business related to Blue Hair as soon as possible.
Even while I was at work, PD Kim Hwachang was like a shadow near me, turning the camera on and off.
Then he went to ask other part-timers about my reputation, saying he was getting some cuts.
Kim Hwachang approached and said,
“Seems like you’re as good at work as you look. Do you know what they’re saying about you? A noona who’s good at work, a kind and pretty unnie, a reliable employee. Everyone, without exception, is full of praise.”
“Really? That’s good.”
After pouring Zero Cola and neatly filling the French fries, I said,
“I’m meeting with Jung Suhyuk, you’ll come along too, right PD-nim?”
“Jung Suhyuk? The player who won last season?”
“Yes.”
When I answered promptly, Kim Hwachang clapped like a seal as if remembering.
“Right, you challenged him to a match with 10 million won at stake a few days ago, didn’t you? Has making life-or-death bets become a habit for you? You’ve got guts, girl. When are you meeting?”
“Right after I finish work here.”
“Where?”
“Gangnam.”
Kim Hwachang licked his lips, thought deeply, then snapped his fingers brightly.
“The title comes to mind smoothly. The eldest daughter of 10 siblings who can’t stop playing Russian roulette for a living. The head of the family entering a dark labyrinth with an entrance but no exit. How about it?”
“It sounds like sh*t.”
“Tsk, what would you know.”
He said while replacing the camera battery,
“Hey, I’m a person who doesn’t know even a mouse’s piss worth about fortune-telling? But looking at you, I think you have a predisposition for rumors in your fortune.”
“Rumors?”
“People keep putting your name on the chopping block and gossiping about you. Rather than because you’re doing crazy things, it seems like it’s just your fate itself. Anyway, I’m grateful that you’re creating broadcast topics.”
My hand checking the order slip stopped for a moment.
Looking back, that’s right. The first meeting with Hyun Junho at the workshop. Since then, my life has been a series of incidents.
Also, looking back, that’s right. The fact that I’m feeling a throbbing exhilaration in the midst of such back-and-forth battles.
While tearing up the closed order slip, I said,
“Don’t thank me yet. There will be endless incidents during the two weeks you’re filming me.”

When I got off at Sinsa-dong, it was around sunset. Since there was still time until the appointment, I walked slowly.
The glow of the sky at dusk was quite beautiful. The sky, gradually darkening in layers, was emitting its last light. The sunset, spreading like flames as if a cup of blood had been poured into the sky, shone mournfully.
I heard they call this time ‘the hour between dog and wolf’. I wonder who’s the dog and who’s the wolf between Jung Suhyuk and Han Yujin.
Thinking about this, I arrived at the meeting place before I knew it.
“…Han Yujin. I’m really, really grateful.”
“For what?”
“Thanks to you, I get to come to a place like this.”
Kim Hwachang smiled and took a picture of the signboard.
Dragon King (龍王).
It was one of the top three high-end Japanese restaurants in Seoul.
When I mentioned the name of the person who made the reservation to the receptionist, we were immediately guided to the private room at the very end. When I opened the sliding door, Jung Suhyuk was sitting there.
He glanced at me and Kim Hwachang once, then drank the tea in his cup with an enigmatic smile.
His already cold facial features looked even sharper in harmony with the subtle lighting of the Japanese restaurant. Perhaps because he was wearing an expensive suit, he looked more like a Wall Street stockbroker than a top professional gamer.
“Oh my, I wonder if a humble shrimp like me should interfere in a whale fight.”
Kim Hwachang was obviously buttering him up. While doing so, he handed Jung Suhyuk a business card.
I asked Jung Suhyuk,
“What did you order?”
“Daegumbari.”
When I heard the answer, a sigh of joy involuntarily escaped.
It was the highest grade sashimi that I had never eaten in my previous life or this one. No wonder it’s nicknamed ‘The Emperor of the Sea’ among gourmets.
“You’re treating, right? Since you’re someone who spends extravagantly.”
“Sit down.”
“…Yes.”
The receptionist brought a tray with sashimi plates. Half Daegumbari, half Javari. These guys, worth their weight in gold, looked really appetizing.
Kim Hwachang was already sticking out his tongue, seemingly blinded by the sashimi, reaching for his chopsticks.
I put some wasabi on it, dipped it slightly in soy sauce, and put the back meat in my mouth. As soon as it entered, it felt like it was dancing in my mouth. The texture hadn’t lost any of its elasticity, making the flesh very chewy, and there was no greasy taste at all, making the clean flavor excellent.
…Crazy. I’m too happy.
Forget about the showdown with Jung Suhyuk or whatever, if it weren’t for my next part-time job, I’d want to order soju right away.
Then suddenly,
I thought of my siblings.
They’ve probably never even tasted something like this.
“Can I take the leftovers home?”
Jung Suhyuk raised his hand indifferently, indicating that I could do so.
And,
Placing a fatty piece of sashimi on the plate in front of him, he started speaking.
“I’ve spoken sternly to the kids.”
“About what?”
“Told them not to avoid playing games with you.”
Now that Jung Suhyuk, the industry leader, had spoken, they all lowered their tails and obediently listened to him, what a shameful sight.
This is why the messenger is more important than the message.
I wonder how many times I would have to win and what kind of broadcaster I would have to become to have that much influence.
“Well then…”
Jung Suhyuk put down his chopsticks and said,
“Shall we settle our account too?”
Account? Ah.
…Right. It’s true that I rashly challenged Jung Suhyuk aggressively. I can’t be rude to the benefactor who even treated me to Daegumbari.
“Ah, yes. I’ll post an apology or correction on the fan cafe and YouTube.”

Hearing my words, Jung Suhyuk let out a sharp sneer from his nostrils. Then he opened his mouth.
“You’re really despicable.”
“…Pardon?”
What is this?
I raised my eyebrows in confusion at these unexpected words.
Jung Suhyuk shot sharp words without changing his expression.
“What you’re doing is really despicable.”
“What is?”
I reacted coldly with a sullen expression.
He took a sip of water and spoke.
“How long are you going to play the underdog hero game using your amateur status in this small pond?”
He’s saying I’m playing the underdog hero game…?
Hearing those words felt like being hit with a hammer.
…He’s right. Looking back, that’s what I was doing.
An unfair match.
No matter how much money we both bet, the opponent was a pro who had to bet their honor and pride as well.
In contrast, I… had nothing at stake.
Without realizing it, I was using that subtle difference in status to my advantage in the matches.
I bit my lower lip. It was humiliating. Not because Jung Suhyuk’s words were sharp, but because everything he said was correct, which made it even more humiliating.
Jung Suhyuk’s eyes heated up as he spoke.
“Does it hurt your pride?”
“Yes. It does.”
“Really? Then…”
Jung Suhyuk brushed his hair back, then said,
“Then go pro.”
“…What?”
“You know it too. That thrilling dopamine when you’re putting everything on the line.”
I, who knew the sweet taste of bursting dopamine, swallowed dry saliva.
Pro… I’ve never even dreamed of it.
Jung Suhyuk took out his wallet from his inner pocket.
“I’m not interested in petty betting games with Han Yujin.”
“…”
“So if you want to play with me, you come up. To the finals where I am.”
Jung Suhyuk, with eyes like mine, was tempting me to step into the professional world.
And,
Under the quiet lighting, I answered.

And then the broadcast turned on.

[Talked with player Jung Suhyuk]
[20,634 viewers]
[HaYoo]

The screen was blacked out and nothing was visible. Judging by the occasional announcement sounds and heavy engine noise, it could barely be deduced that she was on a bus.
And,
The focus shook dizzily, then illuminated a woman’s face.
It was Han Yujin.
As if embarrassed to be holding a mobile phone, she couldn’t focus on the chat window and kept rolling her eyes, stealing glances at her surroundings.

‘ㅇㅇ’ donated 1,000 won!
-Where r u going?

Han Yujin looked around cautiously, then whispered softly into the speaker.
“…Al-ba.”

-?
-What did she say
-No baby talk
-Aegyo mode HaYoo is rare
-Showing her non-military status with that voice level lol
-Did she lose her voice to Great Suhyuk?

Han Yujin frowned as if frustrated and spoke again.
“Going to part-time job…”

The viewpoint changed to the rear camera, showing the people on the bus. Judging by the filming position, Han Yujin was sitting in the very back seat.
Then.
A male voice was heard from the side.
“Han Yujin. How long will it take?”

“We’re almost home.”

Then the text went crazy.

-?
-??
-This bitch lol
-Ah
-Explain
-I’m
-Ruined
-Ah I knew this would happen
-Going home… with a man.. ㅗㅜㅑ
-I’m
-Ruined
-My world has collapsed
-Who’s the man?
-This fcking whre b*tch

“…Ah, really.”
Han Yujin’s sigh was heard.
“PD-nim. I’m being misunderstood. Please explain to the viewers quickly.”

The camera turned and showed the man.
“Ah, hello. I’m PD Kim Hwachang, producing . Don’t misunderstand. I’m in the middle of filming.”
He awkwardly waves his hand holding an HD camera and greets.
“Is that enough? You damn viewers…”

-Phew
-Aged a thousand years lol
-Unicorn squad triumphant lol
-This is so funny lolololololol
-Aah. I’m relieved.

And then,
A voice donation rang out in the bus.
At maximum volume.

[‘Sang Old’ donated 1,000 won voice donation]
-Dear passengers on this bus! The alluringly seated princess in the very back, real name Han Yujin, broadcast name HaYoo, is clearly a virgin and has never had her lips meet a man’s or woman’s nor slept with anyone, a virgin among virgins…

“Hukkeuat! Wh-what do I do. How, this, how do I turn it off? Quickly.”
Han Yujin asked Kim Hwachang in a flustered voice.
“Hey, I don’t know either. Um… sorry, but could you move away a bit? It’s embarrassing.”

-Lolololololololol
-Look at the PD fcking cutting ties quickly lol
-You PD devil bastard lol
-Typical Korean male lol
-Lololololololololololol
-Ah fck this is really so funny lol
-A legendary clip is born lolololol
-Ah f*ck my mouth is watering lol

The passengers visible in the rear camera were all looking at Han Yujin.
Some with fierce gazes, some desperately trying not to laugh.
Everyone was staring like that.

-Lolololololol
-Lololololololololol
-Lolololololololol
-Everyone’s staring
-Look at that grandpa’s eyes, he looks like he wants to eat someone
-If the man next to her is watching the broadcast, give a thumbs up gogo

“…Ah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for causing trouble. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
A voice constantly apologizing to each passenger.
The number of viewers had already grown to 30,000.

“…Why does she become an idiot every time she turns on a broadcast?”
Kim Hwachang blurted out as if he found it pathetic.

-Hey PD man that’s true lol
-She’s always an idiot
-This bastard, change your phone, the quality is crap

Han Yujin changed the subject and whispered softly.
“…Anyway, I had a talk with Jung Suhyuk-nim.”

-Oh
-Hurry hurry hurry hurry
-Gogogogo
-Let’s go for the legendary match
-Finally, it has come,,,

“Um… First, we decided not to do it.”

-I’m
-Ruined
-I’m
-Such a coward
-They both chickened out to each other lol
-real recognize real
-Cow.ard
-Ah f*ck
-Give me my dopamine you crazy bitch

Han Yujin took a small deep breath and opened her mouth.
“I’m going to challenge going pro. I’ll participate in next month’s Courage Match.”
