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

---

The schedules of VTuber Miro and actor Kim Soo-hyun overlap.

Honestly, this had happened quite a bit before, but this is the first time it’s clashed so prominently.

It’s a situation where everything is laid bare.

I had thought about it when signing the dual contracts, but now that it’s actually here, I’m at a loss.

What am I supposed to do?

I’m a bit hesitant to choose one over the other.

Since I decided to take on the drama because I really wanted to, I need to take responsibility for it.

The Celestial Realm concert is the same.

If that’s the case, I should aim to do both….

The problem is that I have to complete both without shortcomings.

If I attempt both at once and fail, it’ll backfire for sure.

In the end, all that’s left is for me to put in more effort and tackle it head-on.

…Looks like I’m in for some trouble here.

But thankfully, neither the drama nor the concert seems prohibitive when viewed one at a time.

If the drama were a lead role, or if it were a solo concert, it would definitely be overboard.

Given the schedule, I feel like Miro, the crazy Hama who has already handled excessive schedules multiple times, will manage just fine.

…Hopefully.

Honestly, I’m not sure. I’ll know once I try.

Truthfully, both the drama and concert haven’t released detailed schedules yet, so worrying about it now doesn’t hold much significance.

Still, seeing the members in the group chat excited about the concert makes me happy.

Since everyone is already looking forward to it, I hope I can participate well too.

Well, anyway.

For now, all I need to do is focus on what I have to do.

In that sense, I’ve come to the gym today without losing my initial motivation.

“Let’s give it our all in our workout!”

“I’m feeling good today.”

“With more schedules, I need to pump myself up and go for it.”

This gym has become a very familiar space for me now.

In that regard, I’m thankful to the common-sense entertainment company for setting it up.

How nice it is to have a space to work out comfortably without others watching.

Moreover, since hardly anyone else comes here, it’s good that I can comfortably receive personal training from Park Kang-seok.

Look at it now.

As usual, the gym isn’t empty…

“Madam?”

I hadn’t seen her well earlier since she was a bit further inside.

But looking closely, I found Madam working out with the equipment.

She still looks great.

I feel like I haven’t seen her for a while, but she definitely looks well-maintained.

“Mr. Soo-hyun?”

“Hello.”

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Are you here to work out?”

“Yes, yes! But I noticed I haven’t seen you around lately.”

When I first started going to the gym, I might not have seen her often, but I used to run into her occasionally.

Recently, I hadn’t seen her, so I was puzzled when she suddenly appeared.

“Oh, I’ve been pretty busy these days. I think I’ve only been coming in the mornings.”

…Isn’t it unusual for someone to get that busy and not show up at all?

Even so, the fact that she still manages to find time to work out in the mornings shows her dedication.

That’s how you stay in shape.

The secret to youth is none other than madness.

“By the way, Mr. Soo-hyun… It looks like you’ve been working hard at the gym?”

Madam glanced at me and said that.

Hmm, can you really tell?

“I’ve been trying hard with my diet and everything.”

“Oh… I hardly recognized you!”

“Really?”

I wonder if it’s noticeable… But then again, others’ perspectives are different.

Besides, Madam, who sees me less frequently than I do when looking in the mirror every day, should notice the difference more accurately.

“Yes, I’d almost want to use you as a fashion model again.”

“Haha, if you call for me, I’d show up anywhere for a shoot.”

“…Really?”

“Pardon?”

…That was just a compliment, but her gaze changed slightly.

“Then, would you be interested in doing a job?”

“Uh… um… What kind of job?”

Did I just say something wrong?

Isn’t there a sort of unspoken rule where we exchange compliments like “You’re so dependable, Mr. Soo-hyun!” after such statements?

That’s a rule that has always been maintained, so I feel betrayed.

“Oh, it’s not a time-consuming shoot.”

“What kind of shoot could it be…?”

“It’s not going to be in a shopping mall like last time, but in a magazine.”

“A magazine? …A magazine?”

If it’s a fashion magazine, isn’t that a much bigger deal?

Since it’ll be representing the brand in the magazine.

“Yes, I heard from the brand we’re contracted with that they’re looking for a unique model. You would fit perfectly.”

“Unique…? Me?”

“It’s about showcasing a model who is just really pretty, unlike the usual.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Of course, you have the proportions of a model.”

Um, hmm…

Is this job a good one?

To be honest, since it seems to be said lightly, I could easily decline.

Just saying that my schedule is busy would suffice.

Yet winter’s schedule is complex, even though aside from the minor schedules, the big one is just a festival, so I do have some time…

At first, I glanced at Park Kang-seok next to me.

Fortunately, I have a great filter and verifier right next to me.

A nod.

Since I looked over, Park Kang-seok gave a small nod.

Um, that means it’s okay to do it, right?

I feel really lucky that Park Kang-seok is my manager.

If I had a rookie manager for someone as inexperienced as me, ugh… that would be terrifying just to imagine.

“So, would you mind telling me the schedule?”

Anyway, with Park Kang-seok’s approval, I wanted to express my positive thoughts.

“Oh, are you feeling tempted?”

In response to my reaction, Madam’s expression brightened.

It seems she might have thrown the suggestion lightly but hoped I would accept it deep down.

“Since you’ve been working out too.”

Well, if Madam’s brand is connected with sports, wouldn’t it be a sports brand?

In that case, I feel confident.

I’m not a professional model, but it seems like I have some natural lines.

Since I’ve toned down a bit through my diet and workouts, I think I’ll be decent enough.

“Then I’ll find out the schedule for you.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“Should I pass it to Mr. Kang-seok here?”

“Yes, please do.”

And just like that, I got a new modeling job.

**

It feels like it was only a few days since I landed a job at the gym.

Now, I’m at the studio.

Didn’t this happen the last time when I was a model for a shopping mall shoot too?

“Is it normal for fashion magazine schedules to be set up this quickly?”

“I think Madam must have influenced it a bit.”

Hmm, yeah… That makes sense.

Considering the size of the shopping mall Madam runs, she could easily urge brands in the sports industry to expedite their schedules.

It was probably done quickly out of consideration for me.

“Mr. Soo-hyun! Come over here!”

Moreover, seeing that she came directly to the studio with me shows that she’s the type to take care of her connections.

Thanks to that, I could receive guidance as easily as when I shot for Madam’s shopping mall before.

“Model, here are the outfits for you.”

After that, the staff handed me the clothes I’d change into.

The design looks a bit unusual, but it’s a sports brand after all, so it’s a loose windbreaker and leggings.

Naturally, since I’ve also slimmed down while exercising, I looked like I fit the model physique perfectly.

“Wow, it really suits you, Mr. Soo-hyun.”

As Madam admired my appearance after I put the outfit on, it reminded me of when I had the photo shoot for the shopping mall model.

“…You didn’t give me clothes like this last time.”

“Oh, did I? I can’t really remember.”

Oh boy, I feel like last time I didn’t get clothes that showed off my figure like this.

It seems that even from Madam’s point of view, my lines have clearly changed.

Besides, leggings… I’ve said it before on a broadcast, but I don’t really prefer them…

Yet, since it’s a shoot and trying it on, it doesn’t feel too embarrassing.

The windbreaker covers a lot, which makes it less concerning.

“All right! Model, please come here!”

“Okay!”

Anyway, since I’ve changed, it’s time for the actual shoot to begin.

And thus, the shoot started…

It was just standard.

Strike a pose, take a photo.

Change into a similar outfit, take another photo.

Since the photos will be featured in a few magazines, the shoot itself progressed really quickly, just as Madam had mentioned during the proposal.

When I did fashion magazine shoots in the past, it sometimes took a long time if the article required several outfits.

But this time, it’s possible that Madam’s watching from the side, or maybe I’m just doing well, but it ended quickly.

After completing all the shooting, I looked at the photos the staff handed me.

“Wow… these turned out well.”

Looking at them now, they seem definitely different from before.

It feels like health is somewhat shining through.

Once this magazine comes out, people might be surprised, right?

Huh? Am I going to be featured in an article?

Actor Kim Soo-hyun showcases healthiness in a fashion magazine, or something like that…

After finishing the shoot, I chatted a bit with the sports brand staff and finalized a few things before leaving the studio.

“Mr. Soo-hyun, where are you headed next?”

“Oh, we just finished our schedule, so I’m going to the gym.”

“I happen to be going to meet my husband, so I can go with you.”

“That sounds good.”

On the way back, I rode with Madam in the car driven by Park Kang-seok.

By the way, I think I’ve gotten quite close to Madam.

We’ve talked pretty frequently when we’ve bumped into each other at the gym, and this is the second time we’ve worked together now.

While I’m not thinking of building a solid connection for networking, I feel like it could help in the future.

Besides, the jobs Madam gives me seem pretty decent, so I’m inclined to look positively if she brings something up again.

“Oh, right, Mr. Soo-hyun.”

“Yes?”

While I was lost in those thoughts, Madam, who was sitting next to me, spoke up.

By the way, she’s currently in the seat where I normally sat.

“I heard something from the person who came from the brand’s headquarters after shooting.”

“Just Madam? Yes, yes.”

Did she have something specific to convey to Madam?

I waited for her to continue thinking that since she looked like my superior during the shoot, it made sense to tell her.

“Mr. Soo-hyun, would you be interested in being an exclusive model…?”

“I’m not interested…!”

“Yes?”

“I can’t… I can’t take on any more work….”

“Aha… I understand.”

I outright declined without hesitation this time, rendering my earlier resolve meaningless.

…Do I have some sort of bad luck with work?

Now that I think about it, doing this occasionally is fine, but being exclusive? That’s just absurd.

If I take that on, I’m practically chaining myself.

*Sigh.*

Anyway, having rejected the offer outright, I let out a sigh inwardly.

I feel like I’m not meant to have a peaceful break after all.
