Hwabon Station's Alpha Male Jjang-hem (1)
Nobody knows simps better than I do. I'll stake my reputation on that.
Why? Who do you think you are? Why are you running your mouth again?
Because I know how to use the reverse-perspective immersion method. You have no idea how incredible that is, do you?
Reverse-perspective immersion. What's that? The ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes.
And I can do it.
Right now, I am fully immersed as a simp. I am Maru's simp. A simp. A truly excellent simp.
Maru is doing We Got Married with some guy? Real tears of blood streaming down, streaming down.
My girl Maru laughing it up with another man?
Whoa… and on top of that she's calling him oppa? I would seriously go dark if that happened… what a terrible person.
And if that guy is from a major corporation or even a mid-sized one and he's doing well… then I would genuinely lose it~ lose it~ I couldn't eat.
If I were smart, I'd go find another girl.
But I'm an idiot, so I keep watching… it was exactly like NTR.
Back in the day that was a term I'd never heard of, never seen, but I learned it while streaming. So basically a bad woman betraying someone… that kind of thing.
Maru has become a bad woman. I am currently in Omniscient Simp POV.
So even though she definitely said she liked me… even though she told me she loved me every day, read my chats, smiled at me, thanked me… that Maru… that Maru… is calling some male streamer with two thousand, three thousand concurrent viewers… a ten-thousand-sub YouTuber, a hundred-thousand-sub YouTuber… oppa. Oppa.
No. Don't do that.
Whoa… my reverse-perspective immersion ability is incredible. I can think on this advanced a level? I have truly grown.
Who's going to stop this grown-up Seona~!! Nobody can stop me.
And so I… huh?
What was I doing that led me here? I went off on a delusion again and completely lost the plot.
I was definitely thinking about this for a reason… I forgot.
"Uh… what was it?"
"What is it~?"
"No, I mean… what was it again?"
Why did I start thinking about simps? Even if I've grown, my control over my imagination is still lacking. You can't just shut this stuff down, you know. Honestly, it's improved a lot. It used to be worse. I would burn through an entire day just deluding myself.
But not anymore!! I've been in treatment for almost eight, nine years. Medication, and those… whatever experiments they ran on me—that's how I got like this.
"Ah, anyway. So. Opening Hwabon Station."
"What are you going to do there?"
"Uh… ah!! I remembered."
So… ah!! That's right. I remembered.
At Hwabon Station, I become Jjang-hem. So… how many girls were there back then?
There were a lot of them, roughly. That was the concept.
But Maru is a streamer. She has simps.
If I were a male streamer and I went to Hwabon Station with Maru, that would have been a massive problem.
But I'm a girl, so it's fine. That was what I'd been thinking!!
"Right. I'm switching to casual speech now."
"Huh? All of a sudden? Why?"
"I am the alpha male… Jjang-hem. Now Maru likes me. Like, a girl who's so into me she's dying for it."
"Huh? Why. Why? Me?"
"Yeah. Open Hwabon Station."
I looked at her like she was a rock.
When my dad was dating my mom in college… he was like this, they met in some medical club at the same university.
Dad talked to Mom in a completely blunt way, and Mom said she fell for that.
If you look at a woman like she's a rock, she just falls for you on her own… that's what he said.
"From now on… I'm laying down the hierarchy for real. I am the alpha male. Like, Maru likes me so much she's going all eeeing over me."
"Khuh. Why. Why me."
"You wanna get scolded? Listen to oppa."
Ehehe. I'd wanted to try this forever. Ah, is Maru not getting into it? Having a girl voice go "oppa~ oppa" at her… is that a little weird?
I flipped on the voice changer for the first time in a while.
I cranked up the male voice I'd set up ages ago.
"Ah… ah… it's your oppa."
Listening to the voice, not bad. A low, thick voice. Maru just got hit with the heart-eyes right now.
Thinking it through with reverse-perspective immersion: I am a woman. As a woman, I am not a rival to her simps.
But… if I expand the imagination for Maru's simps… if a streamer who isn't a rival broadens the range of what her own streamer can imagine? I would be grateful.
So, the things Maru does with a boyfriend… let the simps hear that stuff.
The range of imagination expands, right? Right? Imagination works better when there's a foundation for it.
Imagining from pure nothing is something only geniuses do.
"No, no… seriously ugh!!"
"You're late, aren't you?"
"Late for wh-what!! For what? What, what~."
"Hwabon Station."
Look at a woman like she's a rock. Don't give her even a crack of an opening. Then she falls for you.
"Wh-what… why Hwabon Station."
"Open it."
"What, what kind of person even is this."
"You wanna get scolded?"
Keep the words short, simple, clear, and firm.
Maru had already fallen for Jjang-hem.
The viewers have fallen for me too, huh. Should I talk to viewers like this all the time? Then they wouldn't be able to say anything back, and whenever I bring content they'd spam chat, call it funny, all that, right? Ehehe.
"Maru. Hwabon Station."
"Okay. I'll open it. I'll open it."
This is the most important moment. You lock down a woman's heart for certain. While Maru was looking for Hwabon Station, I dug through my phone.
Something I screenshot a while back… things that make a girl flutter, stuff I saw at a café… if I search, it'll be there.
I'd saved it so I could use it the next time I did VR. Definitely. I remember.
Here it is. "When you compliment her casually." Compliments… of course they're good. Getting one feels amazing. But casually? Hmm… how? Staring at my phone, I thought of a good method.
"Opened Hwabon Station!!"
I remembered. Whenever I did well, Grandpa would go, Our baby did so well~ Grandpa will pat your head~
Do that… casually.
"Good job. Come here. I'll pat your head."
"Pff."
"You don't want it? Too bad. I'm doing it."
"Ah, no… ah. Ha… seriously. What is this."
This was highly effective. Maru sidled closer to me. If you looked up you could see black panties, but that was fine.
I just don't have to look!!
"Good job. Our Maru did so well~"
"Seriously… what even is this."
"I'll go first. Wait for me."
"Why? Let's go together."
"I'll be waiting with flowers."
I said that and headed into Hwabon Station first. Experience really was the most important thing.
Maybe it was because I'd once watched a guy who'd been dating for five years give his girlfriend flowers at school… flowers had a good energy to them.
I was reading chat when some good feedback came in. I tend to absorb feedback immediately.
"Ah, thank you for the title suggestion. What should I change it to?"
Hmm… the chatters recommended a lot of titles. I combined them well and put [Hwabon Station's Alpha Male] in the title.
"Done. Good, right? Ehehe."
Because the voice was modulated into a guy's, the viewers started having full-on meltdowns. Something about that made me want to laugh again.
Want to try being contrary Seona? If I do it, what kind of things will they say? I'm curious!!
"Hihihi. Hihit. Huhihi. Ehehe. Uhahaha. Uwaha. Ihihit. That was a laughter medley."
So I laughed my heart out.
Naturally, chat's reaction was not good. Can't be helped. This is how you grow. I gained EXP this time too.
Ah!! So I shouldn't do this anymore, right? I learned, so we're good.
But wait, was this a double EXP window?! I had no idea I'd get roasted this hard. Getting cursed out this vulgarly… I never even dreamed of it.
"Understood… I won't do it anymore."
I arrived at Hwabon Station.
I pulled out a male avatar for the first time in a while. Not the one I used back when I was trying to reel in women and their devoted fans.
Actually, I had two or three more besides this one.
I never got to use all the avatars—probably used one and that was it, right?
Anyway, I switched to a handsome avatar.
White hair… a stylish character. Just the kind of avatar that would make girls go heart-eyes.
After switching, I waited about thirty seconds? Maru showed up.
"You're here?"
"I'm here."
"Good."
What should we do at Hwabon Station? Hmm… what to do?
"Where are the flowers? You said you'd give me flowers."
"Flowers?"
"Yes. I've been looking forward to that."
"Ah… hold on."
I turned on the VRChat camera function and took a picture of Maru. The flower was Maru all along. There's a famous saying, right? Treat a woman like a flower? Or look at a woman like a flower? There was some saying like that.
Anyway, I ripped that off.
Click.
I took Maru's picture.
"I took it."
"Where are the flowers?"
"The real flower is standing right in front of me, and the artificial one is right here."
"Kuehihihihahaha. Where did you even learn that? No, no. Seriously augh. That is completely, completely cringe."
"From my grandpa."
The last time Grandpa took us to the amusement park.
That was something he'd said to me and my little sibling.
Back then I didn't know what real flowers and artificial flowers were, so I asked Grandpa a ton of questions.
Then is a cactus an artificial flower because you don't water it? If I buy a carnation and bees and butterflies don't come, is that an artificial flower? You can't harvest honey from it. I remember asking things like that.
The reason that memory was still so vivid was because it was also our last amusement park trip, and after that… "Oppa, are you stupid? Don't bully Grandpa."
Mean little sibling!!
I am not just an idiot. I am a growing idiot!!
