Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

---

About an hour after I vowed to work out.

“Ugh… Huh….”

In the end, I collapsed onto the bench.

“…Are you okay?”

“I’m fine… Huh… can you see me…?”

“…You really don’t look okay. Here, drink some water.”

Did I push myself too hard?

Just like Park Kang-seok said, I should have taken it step by step.

With only passion fueling me, I forgot my true abilities and ran ahead without thinking.

“Phew….”

But still, I worked hard for an hour, didn’t I?

I’m proud of today’s me.

“Here’s your water.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Since I couldn’t muster the energy to move, Park Kang-seok took out the tumbler for me.

I gladly accepted it, thirsty for anything to drink, and gulped it down.

“Ahhh.”

After drinking the water, I felt a bit more energized.

But what about Park Kang-seok?

He was working out beside me at a much higher intensity and still looked perfectly fine.

How hard does he usually train?

Considering how diligently he does his job as a manager, he must naturally be a committed person.

“Since you exercised a lot today, be careful of muscle soreness tomorrow.”

“Ah… Now that you mention it, I guess I might get sore.”

I did put in the effort, but the worry of muscle soreness tugged at my mind.

Last time, I felt tingly too.

How intense will it be this time….

But well, I have no schedule tomorrow, so I can relax at home.

How can I work out daily? Rest is essential, after all.

“By the way, should we talk about the meal plan?”

“A meal plan?”

Exercise, rest, and diet.

Aren’t these three a package deal?

Right now, I’m just eating whatever, but if I want my workout to be effective, I should pay attention to what I eat.

If I keep munching on snacks like usual or eat Mrs. Jang’s sodium-rich Korean dishes, I doubt I’ll lose any weight despite exercising.

Honestly, it’s surprising that I haven’t gained weight until now.

Considering my usual activity level, if I were even a little bit of a glutton, I’d have gained weight quickly.

“Um, do you usually eat a lot of fattening foods?”

“Uh… what do I eat….”

People like Park Kang-seok, who work out, usually know how to plan their meals.

So with hope, I shared my usual eating habits with him.

“Hmm… If weight loss is the goal, you definitely need to be more careful about it.”

“Right?”

“The amount you eat isn’t the problem; it’s how you eat that needs changing.”

“How so?”

“For example….”

It seems Park Kang-seok has knowledge in this area as well, and he started to explain the meal plan.

Since there was no one else in the gym, I comfortably lay back and took notes.

As we were having this mini diet lecture—

Clank.

Someone entered as the gym door swung open.

Looks like another user came in.

Is it possible it could be a celebrity I know, since this is the agency’s gym?

When I turned my head with that thought—

“Oh my.”

“Madam?”

“You’re here again today?”

I bumped into Mrs. Jang again, the same one I met last time.

I’ve been here only twice, and I keep running into her.

Does she frequent this gym?

Well, the studio is nearby, right?

If her husband runs a company with a gym close by, it makes sense she’d come often.

She seemed like the type who takes good care of herself at first glance.

“Kim Soo-hyun, you’re working out hard.”

“Now that I started, I want to give it my all.”

Usually, I would act humble in response to such compliments from Mrs. Jang.

But now that I’m a gym-goer, I confidently replied.

“By the way, is that outfit… did you buy it, Soo-hyun?”

While we were chatting, Mrs. Jang’s gaze shifted toward the clothes I was wearing.

Ah, is she aware it’s from her shop that’s ranking high?

“Yes, I was searching for shops and found a lot of nice clothes.”

“Oh… so then, what about that outfit for Kang-seok?”

“Yes, I got him one while I was at it.”

“Looks like Kang-seok found a good celebrity to represent.”

The workout clothes I bought for Park Kang-seok weren’t even in the ranking, yet Mrs. Jang matched it perfectly.

Her eye for detail is impressive.

Of course, I bought him workout outfits that are completely different in design from my own.

I can’t let journalists or others misinterpret.

“By the way, did you really look at the shopping mall right after that day?”

“Yes, yes, I found it interesting.”

“I thought you were completely uninterested; seems I was wrong?”

Mrs. Jang appeared to be in good spirits.

It seems my effort of buying and wearing those clothes made a positive impression.

“So, about the model we talked about last time, have you thought it over?”

“Ah… the model?”

“I can periodically send you popular clothes. How about that?”

Plus, she even brought up a retry for the modeling offer.

And she’s offering clothes for free too.

Of course, money isn’t the issue.

I’m sure Mrs. Jang knows that.

It’s just her way of appealing as a supportive lady.

With this much, should I consider giving it a shot?

Honestly, doing a shoot isn’t that hard, and even Park Kang-seok said it would be a good idea.

“That sounds really appealing.”

“Oh, are you thinking about it?”

“Yes, looking at the shopping mall makes me want to do it.”

Since I had decided to go for it anyway, I complimented Mrs. Jang to keep her spirits high.

“Hmmm, is that so? Our shopping mall has a pretty good reputation.”

Her smile seemed to indicate she wasn’t displeased with my interest.

Indeed, Buhwang… he’s a master of flattery too.

“Then, should I check with Kang-seok about the schedule?”

“Ah, yes, please feel free.”

“I like this straightforwardness.”

Thus, that day, while receiving Mrs. Jang’s warm gaze, I accepted her offer to be a shopping mall model.

A few days later.

“Hello.”

“Ah, Soo-hyun! Welcome!”

It truly was quick how the schedule was set, and here I was at the shooting studio.

Thanks to my agency’s Madam, things proceeded smoothly.

Additionally, I had been on a diet, so my timetable became a bit more streamlined.

“Today, just relax and shoot comfortably.”

Mrs. Jang greeted me warmly as I arrived at the studio.

But perhaps because the company president was right there?

“Alright, Soo-hyun! Please come here!”

The studio was buzzing with excitement, much more lively than any shoot I had been part of before.

“Here, please wear this.”

“Ah, yes.”

And now, I was in the process of changing into the workout outfit for the shoot.

A white, long-sleeved training set for both top and bottom.

I wondered if this was appropriate for summer, but surprisingly it felt cool and breathable.

This isn’t bad; should I get one for myself?

Mrs. Jang said she’d bring loads of clothes to give me after the shoot today, so I should bring that up.

Well, anyway, finishing my thoughts about the clothes, I prepared to head to the filming location for the actual shoot.

“I heard you’ve done a few shoots before, right?”

“Ah, yes, I’ve done fashion magazine shoots.”

The shoot itself didn’t feel awkward.

I had some experience in photoshoots, after all.

“Alright then, feel free to strike a light pose.”

According to the camera crew that had assisted me before, my height and long legs meant that I tended to photograph well.

Once again, it seemed to be the case, as the photographer was snapping away with a satisfied expression.

“You really do look great.”

Mrs. Jang smiled approvingly from the side.

…She really likes it, huh.

Having wrapped up a shoot without any hiccups,

“Next, please wear this.”

This time, I received a black training set.

Since I was a shopping mall model, I was certainly going to wear quite a few outfits today.

I had to keep changing to shoot again.

After that, there were sets in green, blue, yellow, etc.

I felt like a one-man Power Ranger as I went through various colors and designs.

Well, the shoot was going smoothly, but…

Looking at all the outfits, something felt off.

“Excuse me, Director.”

“Oh, yes?”

Isn’t today’s concept supposed to work around these types of clothes?

I did buy them while browsing the shopping mall rankings, after all.

After a long time deliberating with the viewers, I became quite familiar with the clothes in the shopping mall until now.

While there were indeed decent training outfits like the one I’m wearing now, women’s clothes typically have bolder designs.

I mean, isn’t there usually something more revealing, like leggings or crop tops?

Of course, I’m not particularly fond of those types of clothes, nor do I willingly wish to model in them, but…

Still, it’s strange that there isn’t a single outfit like that as a sports shopping mall fashion model.

“Ah… Well, the president thought this style would suit you best.”

“Is that so?”

Hmm….

Though it’s been mentioned, I can’t shake the skepticism.

How could there be something that doesn’t suit me?

On the contrary, I’m sure I’d pull off those types of clothes even better… wouldn’t I?

Subtly, I glanced down to examine my abdomen like last time.

Not that it’s bulging or anything…

But of course, compared to an actual sports model, it doesn’t measure up.

I can sense that Mrs. Jang may have raised concerns about that, giving me only these types of outfits.

…This makes me feel inadequate as a sports model.

Of course, it’s just a temporary position I accepted for a day.

Yet I, as the Buhwang and a superstar… if not that, at least the super rookie Kim Soo-hyun.

For someone with my background, receiving such considerations in a work setting is a blow to my ego.

It’s not that it’s offensive, but it irks me a little.

Maybe because I’ve never felt outdone by my own looks up until now.

A grievance over the unsatisfactory situation started to rise.

“Alright then, let’s do it!”

“Indeed, Soo-hyun, you look fantastic.”

Naturally, the shoot went smoothly, and I received plenty of compliments, despite my feelings…

Later,

“Phew.”

After the shoot wrapped up, I piled the clothes that Mrs. Jang gifted me and hopped into the car.

“Just you wait.”

“What’s that?”

In the car, just the two of us, I made a resolution with Park Kang-seok.

From now on, I will become the healthy beauty, Kim Soo-hyun.
