Woogyul Auntie (1)
Ah, that feminine vibe is nice. Enjoyed a solid twenty minutes of it.
So this is how kings fall to ruin chasing women.
But I'm different. I'm not going to be that kind of king anymore. I'll be a king for the people. A sage king.
"Alright. Had my fun with the ladies, so now I'll get to the affairs of state. Uh… wait."
While I was busy enjoying the feminine vibes…
The Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Agriculture had both deserted.
My cabinet had collapsed. How could this be? I never saw that coming.
I hadn't even noticed they'd left while I was goofing off. Hmm… that wicked woman!! She seduced me and siphoned off all my competent talent.
But. Talking badly about a woman is not what a cool person does.
"So the cabinet has fled."
"They didn't flee. I dissolved the cabinet. In that case… I'll handle it alone."
They didn't run. I dissolved them. That's the only way my heart can rest easy.
I look incompetent, don't I? Something about this is just screaming incompetence, so I'm calling it a dissolution. Yeah, that's right. Yu Seona, this is the correct call!!
"It's a dissolution. Dissolution!! And with that, I think I'm done for today."
I've changed my mind. I'm just going to quit the game. Had a good time. Pushing further from here would be pure brainrot.
"Hmm… yep."
Turns out it wasn't brainrot. But I'm already bored and can't keep going. You know how I am. Once I'm bored, I'm done… I need time. Which means switching to a different game is the right call.
"I'll play something else. What should we do?"
I was trying for two-way communication… but if this is how they respond, we're in trouble.
Then I'd have no choice but to play whatever I actually want. Even if the viewer count gets cut in half… do I really have to…? I don't want that.
No, wait. The damage to both me and the viewers would be too big. Yu Seona, lover of peace. I shall approach this the peaceful way.
"Alright then… yes. Peace. Peace… I'll check the cafe first. So…"
A negotiating posture. How about that? Moving, right? The new Yu Seona is different. Ehehe.
I logged into the cafe and scrolled through the posts.
Most of the fun stuff… was just reposts of things trending in other communities.
A shame we had no originality of our own. I kept browsing the cafe diligently, reacting along the way.
And then.
"Huh… Maem… woogyul? What's this?"
What on earth is this? Woogyul? That's "We Got Married," right? I know all about that. She's getting married? I… never got a wedding invitation… Were we not that close? That's a little sad.
"I never got an invitation… so you're getting married. I guess we weren't that close, huh…"
A little sad? That's a lie. A complete lie. I'm extremely sad. Fully.
A man liking a woman, a woman liking a man — that's not sad. Does that even make sense? You're supposed to like the opposite gender. That's normal. Therefore, Maem meeting a man is completely natural.
What's sad is her getting married without telling me.
I'd give her an invitation. At least give me a little heads-up. Getting married just between themselves without telling me anything at all. Too sad.
Going further, she never even told me whether she had a boyfriend.
They just dated among themselves and got married. The fact that I was nothing to them stabs right into my chest.
"She never even told me if she had a boyfriend… and we collabed so much… kh."
I almost teared up a little.
Surely the viewers are thinking the same thing as me, right?
Huh? It's different? Does woogyul mean something else? I ran a search.
Ah…!! Woogyul is just a romance bit they do on stream. So it's acting? I had no idea.
"Ah. Then I'm not hurt. It's a stream concept. I didn't know. I thought they were actually getting married… I was so upset about not getting an invitation!!"
Give her one? Of course I'd love it. I'd even cheer them on. No — the wedding gift money… I'd give a lot. More than fifty thousand won… a hundred thousand… no, okay. I've made a big decision. I'll cover one full table's worth. Six hundred thousand won. That much and you'd feel how sincere I am, right?
Anyway.
So without me knowing, she's doing a woogyul with a guy.
"Who's the husband? Is the husband a VTuber too?"
I see. Honestly, I have a lot of questions. Not for the viewers, and not for Maem either… for that cam guy.
What exactly does he like about her enough to do a woogyul? It can't be the panttegi… that doesn't make sense.
Did he see the red pill? Hmm… is it the voice? The personality? No idea.
I'd love to ask him if I ever see him later.
"How did they meet?"
Tsk… at times like this, they really know nothing. Truly a shame.
But is woogyul okay? They went after Nem-mo like they wanted her dead… but woogyul is, what, fine? I still don't understand the viewers' hearts.
Jingyul gets the death sentence and woogyul gets the ehehe treatment? Tsk… weird.
"Um, by any chance, is there any cuck stuff? Please just tell me."
"Aha… thank you. Then I'll click on one."
I clicked the video. Huh? Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo. That sound… it's that one. That one.
That. The dancing movie… what was it. Hold on. Ah!! I remember.
"Is this City of… Stars? Or Starts…? Isn't that it? La La Land. That's the song. Wait, why La La Land of all things… wasn't that movie a sad ending? As far as I remember it ended sad. I saw it in theaters. With my mom… my mom said she and Dad should have ended up like that… so. I remember it as a sad ending."
I didn't want to go either, but Mom and my little sibling dragged me. I don't remember it clearly.
But the second I heard the song, it came right back.
"I see. Ah. Well, let's watch."
I focused on the video. Honestly, I like melodrama too.
Melodrama is popular with everyone, men and women alike. People who say they hate melodrama just have a problem with forced, fake ones.
Proper melodrama? Everyone loves that, right?
A man's voice comes through.
"I love you."
Very forward. Maem giggles, her laugh sounding like a fresh young girl.
But me… hmm. I can't get immersed. "I love you"? Why? Without knowing the process, I have no idea why Maem is giggling when she hears "I love you."
"Me too."
Maem's shy voice is packed with feminine energy, but there's so little context… hmm. Is that it? The sound just slipped out of me.
"Honestly. Just from this video, their emotional throughline doesn't come across. Unless you watch the full thing, I don't think you'd get it. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But you know me. I'm a skip addict. Unless it's really well made… full skip…"
"A 3-line summary… if you can capture the emotional throughline that way, I'll recognize you as a god!! But 4 hours… that is pretty rough."
No matter how curious I am, I can't watch that much.
Honestly I'm not that curious… hehe. Just… uh. I was hurt and then I stopped being hurt… hehe.
"And I'd need permission to watch it anyway… so I'll just move on. Thank you. Thank you. If I get curious later, I'll look it up myself!!"
99.99% chance I forget. That was just lip service so I could move on.
Shall we switch topics?
Yesterday's comment was a mistake. I never should have said it.
Before I knew it, my cafe had been overrun by woogyul aunties.
What on earth is so special about woogyul that they come all the way into my cafe… dumping TMI everywhere? Unbelievable.
Did someone drop coordinates or something? Why do they spam this much TMI?
Why write two or three posts about things nobody asked about, in duplicate? Hmm… this is genuinely dizzying.
"Hmm… seriously… is this even my cafe?"
Doesn't feel like my cafe. The dissonance is overwhelming. Whose cafe is this even. I want to ask.
Why on earth are they live-relaying Maem's woogyul inside my cafe.
Should I just delete every woogyul post? I considered it for a second, but since it's about Maem, I'll forgive it.
I'll just bring it up once on stream.
If people are curious, they'll look it up themselves. Why force-feed it… I understand, though. Sharing is nice.
But… I'm not nice enough to just smile and let a locust swarm come rampaging through.
They keep poking at my contrarian streak.
"…No."
What if I flip the contrarian streak the other way? This could be an obvious pattern. Keep making me look bad on purpose to drive a wedge between me and Maem?
Alright. Reverse-contrarian technique, engage.
I'll watch it all the way through. I'll watch it out of spite. Muhaha!!
I sent Maem a Discord message.
