Lunch with Minho and the Photo Mission
After Sujin-noona left, I immediately prepared to sleep. I was thinking about playing opts, but today there were quite a few things, so I was tired.
Turning off the lights, lying on the bed, pulling the blanket over, and at that time, opening YouTube on my phone to watch fun videos.
"I was planning to sleep a bit later, why?"
"Since tomorrow is Sunday anyway, and no particular schedule."
A map came up with Seoyeon’s KakaoTalk. Curious, I clicked it. It was a galbi restaurant, and most reviews said it was delicious. Even in the photo, it looked pretty good?
"If we go there, we can eat a lot together? The reviews say the portions are much larger than the photos, and good value too."
"12 o'clock sounds good. The restaurant opens at 11 too. Then let's meet in front of the restaurant on the map!"
The restaurant Seoyeon recommended was only a few blocks from my house. Since Seoyeon and I lived close, meeting nearby for lunch wasn’t bad.
Originally, as a single guy, I’d just clean up at home, but somehow this happened.
Is this the power of the gender-reversed world!
It had been a week since I came to the gender-reversed world, but I still wasn’t getting used to it. How long until I got used to it?
I set the alarm and phone to wake around 11 to not be late for the appointment, watched YouTube videos, and fell asleep without realizing.
Trill trill ring!
Wiiing! Wiiing! Wiiing! Wiiing!
Thanks to the phone vibrating with the loud alarm sound, I woke up, rubbing my eyes and sitting up.
Then shall we go meet Seoyeon?
Who would have thought I’d be the one calling a guy to ask to eat lunch together...
This is all because of yesterday’s broadcast.
Yesterday, while streaming hard, a certain viewer suggested a mission bet.
It was to eat lunch with a man.
"Ani, how am I supposed to eat lunch with a man... Ne? I know there are no men around me..."
When the viewer suggested the mission, other viewers put money as safe assets. If I cleared the mission, that money would be all mine...
When the amount in the mission started exceeding 100,000 won, I used my brain to think if there was no way to succeed.
No men around me... no men around me... no man around me...
Ah! There was one.
I thought it was a loss anyway, so I sent a KakaoTalk to Minho. Luckily, we made plans for lunch tomorrow, and now I was waiting here. Thanks to that, the mission was successful and very sweet.
The viewers were now going crazy saying how do they know if the appointment was with a man or not. Honestly, I couldn’t reveal that the person I was meeting was Minho, and I couldn’t put his photo on screen, so I decided to take a photo of Minho and upload it as proof.
Since my face and Minho’s face weren’t public yet, I agreed to write strange letters on paper for evidence use and take a photo to authenticate.
Now, only when Minho came would it be perfect.
But thinking about it, I... was basically asking a guy out on a date right now? Asking if time was free, discussing what to do...
If I had a boyfriend, would it feel like this?
I went to a co-ed school in school days, but got absorbed in games and never had a chance to meet guys. Then I accidentally started streaming on Twitch, which was successful, and I’d been streaming since.
Because of streaming, I didn’t have time to meet people, and I thought dating guys would never happen in my life... but it seemed like I lived long.
Then, from afar, I saw Minho walking, waved, and Minho who noticed me waved back.
Met again after a few days since we caught the stalker together.
The connection was because I saw him being groped when we first met, never thought we’d meet again.
"Hello, Seoyeon. How have you been?"
"Hello, Minho-ya. I’m doing well. But you came early? There’s still 30 minutes until the appointment time."
"You came early too, why. Shall we go in right now?"
Minho pointed at the chicken galbi shop with his finger. Since the shop door was open, we could go in.
We were both hungry, so let’s go in.
The shop inside already had many people seated. Popular place, huh?
Internet said it was a gourmet, introduced on TV, so that made sense.
We chose an empty seat. The shop waitress came to help with the order, so we ordered two servings of galbi and waited for the food.
When I heard Minho had a stalker, how surprised I was. At that time too, we entered a restaurant like now to talk?
"Still, good we caught him quickly."
"Eh? I was going to treat you."
Since I was a woman, naturally I thought I’d pay for lunch with Minho. Minho said treat me nicely, but conscience was there.
"No, I have to repay the help."
"Wasn’t it to fulfill a wish? No need. This is on me. No, let me treat you."
"Ah... no need."
Minho kept insisting on paying, I refused till the end. Rare chance to eat with a guy, and unlike Minho the university student, I had the job of streamer, so I thought it was right for me to pay.
Minho didn’t know I was a streamer.
When to reveal this was still on my mind. If I continued friendship with Minho, someday I’d reveal...
For now, wait till then?
In the end, Minho couldn’t win against me, so I decided to pay for lunch. Instead, after lunch, he said he’d buy coffee at the cafe.
Really different from normal guys. I heard guys didn’t spend money when meeting girls.
Some heard guys met girls just to eat for free. Compared to that, Minho seemed like a guy from another world... amazing.
While chatting, the ordered galbi came. As seen on internet, very filling, and looked really delicious.
By the way, now I needed to do the mission. Still hadn’t told Minho I was a streamer, so I couldn’t say there was a mission, and I needed to say I had to take a photo to prove the bet with a friend.
"Um, Minho-ya? There’s one request."
"Request? If I can do it, tell me anything."
I was saying it but myself...
From Minho’s perspective, how awkward it would be. If he heard the reason for inviting to lunch was the bet, ugh...
Also because I said I’d pay for lunch.
I was carefully watching Minho’s reaction and cautiously brought up the topic, but Minho reacted nonchalantly.
"Ah, so that’s why you invited me today? One photo, no problem."
"Really? Thanks a lot!"
Good that Minho didn’t mind. If he got upset and stopped contacting, it would be sad.
I took out the paper prepared for authentication before he changed his mind.
"Ah, since it’s proof photo, need to take it while attached?"
"Eh, eh?"
Minho stood up and sat right next to me. I was thinking to ask someone nearby to take the photo, but did Minho know how to take a selfie?
The sudden closeness flustered me, but I maintained composure, changed to selfie mode as if it was normal.
"Th, then Minho-ya. I’ll take the photo, can you hold this so it shows in the photo?"
"What is this? What does it say."
"It’s my signature, to show it’s not edited."
Minho nodded at my words, took the paper.
"Then... shall I take the photo?"
At my words, Minho got even closer to my body.
Uwaaaaa!
With Minho right next to me, my heart was pounding so much I thought he’d hear. My face was turning red.
I wanted to stay like this, but my heart was about to burst, so I quickly took the photo.
"Ah, it came out well... thanks Minho-ya."
"What is this for. Then shall we eat?"
Wow... I never thought I’d take a selfie with a guy.
Looking around, the shop owner and women were looking at me with envious eyes.
Of course, because we were attached like a loving couple taking a photo. Really, completely! Like a real couple.
Now my phone had two photos with Minho’s face.
One from just now, and the one from school last time.
Because of the lunch, the feeling of eating galbi without knowing the taste.
"Then what shall we do after eating?"
Minho’s words, I was surprised.
Eh? I wanted to eat lunch and part ways, what is this?
