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

---

After hearing the news that the year-end music awards and the role awards overlap.

“Where should I go?”

As soon as I arrived at the filming location, I asked Park Kang-seok, who had already been there.

“You can ask me….”

“I really can’t decide.”

I kept thinking about it in the taxi on the way to the filming site.

Still can’t choose.

Aren’t the conditions just too different?

First, the music side.

Since they’re preparing for a concert here, if I go, it’s confirmed that I’ll perform on stage and receive an award.

However, it wouldn’t be right not to go for the role side.

The drama itself seems like it’s going to win an award.

If I have to win a personal award as well, it would look weird if I sneak off to receive a music award while my co-actors and director are at the drama awards.

“You still have to choose one.”

“…What if I just don’t go to either?”

The problem is that you have to go to one of them.

So, how about I just not go to either, to be fair?

Huh? Should I just turn on the broadcast at home?

I could definitely sit around in my Miro outfit and boldly review the awards ceremony.

“Well, it’s up to you, Soo-hyun…”

“Then can I really not go?”

“…It would be better to attend if possible.”

“Right?”

My choice?

The agency probably wants me to pick one and go.

Anyway.

“I’ll think about the awards ceremony for now.”

“Yes, please take your time to decide.”

Since I’m already at the filming location, I should get to work.

“Everyone is inside, right?”

“They’re already doing some filming.”

Today isn’t just any day; it’s the day for the drama profile shoot.

“Oh, Soo-hyun, come over here.”

So I’ll need to change into my costume first.

Since it’s Yeon-ah’s profile shoot, I put on the prepared school uniform and a wig.

“I’ll do your makeup.”

Once the makeup is done to match the atmosphere of the work, I’m all set.

“Hmm.”

Looking in the mirror, the makeup has a somewhat apocalyptic feel to it.

After that, I head over to the filming location for a serious shoot, and I see the actors who arrived early taking their pictures.

“Oh, Soo-hyun, you’re here?”

“Yes, yes, looks like you’re working hard?”

Starting with the most familiar Kang Yun-sung.

“Welcome.”

“You’re next, so just stay here.”

I also greeted the other main actors.

Now that we’re nearing the end of filming, I’ve made quite a few friends with the other actors.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, yes.”

While I was greeting the main actors, I also introduced myself to the male lead of this project.

He’s a mid-thirties actor with striking features, playing the role of a company employee who accidentally became the leader of a survivor group.

In the story, he ends up at the school where Yeon-ah is and faces various incidents.

Currently, that incident is almost concluding.

After this, all that’s left is for Yeon-ah to turn him down.

“Where’s the director?”

“Um… he should be over there.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Normally, I would’ve avoided the director, but today I have to ask him something.

So I head in the direction the lead actor pointed, and I see the director chatting with others.

“Director.”

“Soo-hyun? What’s going on?”

The director looked surprised when I approached him.

It must be unexpected since I’ve been avoiding him all this time.

“I got the script this morning… and the ending has changed a bit.”

Since the director keeps asking me questions related to zombies and doing research, the script often changes.

Looking over the revised script, I found some questions about the ending.

“Oh, the ending?”

“Yeah, about the part where Yeon-ah parts ways with the main group…”

At the end of the episode, the lead offers Yeon-ah a chance to join the group.

But originally, according to the script, Yeon-ah was supposed to stay at school and wait for her friends, so she would decline.

But the response feels strange.

It’s like she’s throwing out bait while pretending otherwise.

“Oh, that was intentional.”

“Is there a season two for this drama?”

“…It’s still undecided.”

“Huh?”

Undecided? That doesn’t seem right.

He looks like he wishes for it to be official.

It seems the decision will be made after the first season airs.

Right, it has to do well for there to be a season two.
It’s odd for a season two to be decided so quickly.

Anyway.

“I understand.”

“Yes, yes, have a good profile shoot.”

So they are considering a season two.

Considering that they left some bait, they probably want to cast me.

I hope season two gets confirmed and I receive an offer.

I had quite a bit of fun working on this one.

Well…

I subtly turned my gaze to the mirror in the filming location.

I see myself in a shrunken school uniform and padded coat, with a cheap dyed wig.

…Yeah, wearing a school uniform is a bit embarrassing.

But thankfully lots of the other actors are in school uniforms too.

With everyone dressed like that, I feel less embarrassed.

“Soo-hyun! Come over here!”

After that, we started taking the profile photos, which took quite a while.

Even though I’m just a supporting role that appears for about three episodes.

Still, Yeon-ah has significant impact in those three episodes, and it seems they’re putting in effort to take her profile photos.

I guess Yeon-ah can be seen as the true main character of the episodes.

Although I wonder if she was always meant to have that much importance…

It’s likely that her role grew larger as the script changed, snowballing along the way.

Isn’t the director’s favoritism a big influence here?

Well, I guess it’s also because I look good and perform well, and I’m dedicated to the shoot.

Is that why…

“Okay, here again…”

“Would you like to place the baseball bat on your shoulder?”

“Sure! And then next…!”

The camera director was really going all out, asking for various poses, making me sweat a bit.

…I don’t think it was this intense when I was doing magazine modeling.

But what can I do? These photos will eventually go on posters, so I’ll have to do my best.

“Next, we’ll have Kang Yun-sung join for this shot!”

After taking the individual shots, they called Kang Yun-sung, who will be attached to the episode, to take photos together.

“Could you two move a bit closer, yes, perfect.”

Although there’s no romance part for Yeon-ah, the roles played by Yeon-ah and Kang Yun-sung have a unique tension in the story.

So I was a bit nervous as we took a close-up shot.

Aren’t the fans going to go crazy over this?

…Thinking about Lee Hyun-jun makes me feel a bit of PTSD.

Recalling the time I drew a picture for Lee Hyun-jun and got my Bluebird account terrorized comes to mind.

Was that already three years ago?

I don’t think I thought much about it at the time, but looking back, it was a truly horrifying situation.

Fans can be scary, after all.

Compared to that, our Miro team is cuter.

“Soo-hyun?”

“Yes?”

“You’re too far away.”

“Oh, I was being cautious.”

“…Cautious?”

Well, anyway.

Thus, we carefully took profile pictures.

After finishing with the group photo too, the shoot was finally done.

“Phew… that was tough.”

“Yes, the shoot took quite a while.”

After the filming wrapped up, I quickly changed clothes and headed over to Park Kang-seok.

It was fine back in the set where the school was the backdrop.

But in a studio like this, I wanted to change out of my clothes quickly.

“So now we just have one more to do?”

“Yes, just one commercial left.”

Since today was solely for profile pictures, I purposely scheduled another shoot in the afternoon.

What was it for again? A shoe advertisement?

After uncovering my belly at the festival stage.

I’ve been getting sportswear commercials from time to time.

The shoe ad was part of those commercials that came in together.

Speaking of which, I’ve done a lot of commercials lately.

I should ask for better terms when I re-sign with the agency next time, shouldn’t I?

I mean, what good could they possibly offer me than now?

I wouldn’t have signed such contracts if I knew I would work this hard.

Of course, I have received a lot of opportunities thanks to the agency.

“Manager!”

“Yes?”

“When was my re-signing?”

Since it came to my mind, I should ask once.

How many years did I sign?

Was it one or two years ago when I signed with Moon Chang-sik?

Regardless, it’s about time for re-signing.

“You should do it next year.”

“Huh, got it.”

“…Why are you asking?”

Is it because I brought up re-signing that made Park Kang-seok tense?

“What’s making you so nervous?”

“Not at all.”

“Are you worried I might go somewhere else?”

Thinking about it, am I a big catch now?

I’m not just the prized possession of Sangshik Entertainment, but I’m practically one of their pillars now.

Though there are many other outstanding actors in this company.

“I don’t think that’s the case…”

“Tell them that I have overflowing intent to re-sign, so ask for good conditions.”

“Directly from me?”

“This is the kind of thing that has to be done subtly through others.”

I wonder if it’s really appropriate to do it this way when I’m already established at the agency.

But you know, the world of business is ruthless.

Since I’m not a rookie anymore, it’s time for different contracts.

“Okay, understood.”

“I’m counting on you.”

Anyway, putting contract talks aside.

After shooting the shoe commercial, I finally headed home.

“Phew… I’m back.”

By the time I arrived home, it was already dinner time.

Come to think of it, I wonder if Tenshi had a good time shopping?

I received messages here and there asking about the clothes, but I hadn’t heard anything after that.

I got so busy with filming that I didn’t think about it until I returned home.

Thinking I could check when I got back to my room….

“What… what is all this?”

I was taken aback as soon as I entered my room, seeing a floor full of shopping bags.

“Oh, Soo-hyun! You’re back?”

And sitting among the shopping bags was Tenshi, organizing the clothes.

Seeing the empty shopping bags on the desk, it seems she bought even more than it looks.

“…Why did you buy so much?”

“These are the outfits I bought as a set! Try some on one by one!”

“All of this…?”

… I only thought of getting one or two outfits, so how many did she actually buy?

It feels like she cleared out a department store.

“It’s not that many! Come on! Start with the pajamas…”

“Ahaha….”

Oh boy.

It wouldn’t do to not wear them.

“…I’ll try a few on.”

Ultimately, after finishing my schedule that day, I didn’t fall asleep until the late-night fashion show.
