The Reversed World’s Beauty Standards
That's not what I know?
@ Lee Minho
I was walking to the next subject, Electronic Engineering, with Hyeji. In the middle of that, what kept disappearing from my mind was the fact that Hyeji had called a woman with large breasts a pig earlier. It was so shocking that maybe that's why?
I came to the gender-reversed world, but I never imagined it would be different in this part too.
Why do they hate large breasts?
Why??
When I look at women, I don't consider breast size extremely important, but if I had to choose between extremely large breasts and flat breasts, I wouldn't hesitate for even a second and would choose large breasts.
But in this world, isn't that the case for the men? It seems like here, they call women with large breasts pigs, just like in the original world they called flat-chested women cliffs or washboards.
From the perspective of expressing large breasts as pigs, it's predictable that most men's preferences are towards flat chests, but it's surprising that their taste is completely opposite.
Well, there are probably men with similar large breast preferences. Like men who prefer flat chests in the original world.
But even now, as I walk next to them, the bouncing breasts don't bother these men at all?
Ah, yesterday on the subway, in the male-female couple who seemed like lovers, the man had his arm around the woman's breasts and was quietly there, and no one around cared at all. That's why.
First of all, starting with the gender of women, even if not as large as Hyeji's, her breasts were somewhat large, so the men around her don't get excited at all.
Thinking about it now, if I recall the people who appeared in YouTube videos where female celebrities ruin themselves to look extremely ugly in variety shows, many had large breasts. Even though their faces weren't that ugly.
At this point, do they prioritize breast size over face...?
I thought it was just the gender-reversed world, but maybe the appearance standards are also reversed.
"Um... why, why are you doing that? Are you uncomfortable being with a pig like me...? Because of my ugly breasts...?"
I unconsciously furrowed my brows at the absurd reality, and Hyeji, looking at my face, said in an anxious voice and stepped back a little, covering her breasts with both arms.
Ah, because the huge breasts kept bouncing next to me, my gaze kept going to Hyeji's chest unconsciously, and recalling the absurd fact, my expression furrowed, so from Hyeji's perspective, she thought I was upset seeing her breasts.
In the original world, Hyeji would have slapped my cheek for staring at her breasts, but here it's the opposite, she thinks I was upset for seeing something I shouldn't have...
"Ah, it's not that. I just... thought about something without thinking."
"It's not because of my... breasts? Quiet?"
"I can say with everything on the line that it's not because of your breasts."
Hyeji, hearing my words, made a reluctant expression and came closer again. She stopped covering her breasts with both arms while walking. To change the topic and for Hyeji's sake, I asked some natural conversation starters.
"By the way, I think I'll be taking classes with your classmates. How many classmates are there?"
"Probably around 30... But this is only for first-year, so if some drop the class or retake, it might decrease..."
"Really? So, the number of people taking the same major classes is around that?"
There could be additional retakers. But for difficult subjects like Electronic Engineering, they usually don't retake. No point in retaking and messing up the exam and getting worse grades.
I asked Hyeji a few more things while walking, and before I knew it, we arrived in front of the lecture hall.
"Here, we take Electronic Engineering class..."
"Hyeji, thanks to you, I found it well. Thank you."
I said thank you to Hyeji and opened the lecture hall door and went inside. The earlier class was a mixed general education with other majors, but this time it's a major class, so most people inside the lecture hall are from the same major as me?
When I entered the lecture hall, I saw... an unbelievable sight.
"Eh... eh?"
The inside of the lecture hall was a very university-like scene where familiar people were noisily chatting and playing.
Yeah, that's not a surprising point at all.
The point I was surprised at was... the number of women.
No matter how much I went to 1st year as a loner, I roughly knew the male-female ratio of my major. When many women come in, it's 8:2 ratio, and in extreme cases, 9:1 with extremely few women...
The ratio of women I see in front of me now seems to be the reverse, about 2:8.
Huh? Why are there so many women?
My major was physics, so there were almost no women, why...
Is it because of the gender reversal too?
The world's common sense is really a bit twisted... It's only been 3 days since I came to the gender-reversed world, so I feel like there are many things I haven't grasped yet.
"So, that's why... um...?"
"Eh? Why did you suddenly stop talking and... what?"
Some of the noisy women in the lecture hall turned their gazes towards me trying to enter and stopped talking. And those appearances spread like an epidemic to all the women in the lecture hall.
What? Why are they suddenly staring at me and standing still?
Feeling the burdensome gazes pouring on me, I looked at the desks where two empty seats were and sat down.
Why are they all staring at me? Did I wear something wrong?
No, that's not it. If that were the case, there would have been stares today when I went out, but there weren't. Moreover, Seoyeon, who I met today, would have pointed out if there was something strange about my clothes.
If it's not the clothes, why are they staring at me? Is my face strange by this world's standards?
I don't know what's wrong, damn...
I thought I should ask Hyeji, but Hyeji, who was following, was supposed to sit in the empty seat next to me, but she quietly sat on a different desk far away. What? Did she avoid me?
When Hyeji sat, the women who were staring at me all took out their phones as if they had made a promise and started writing something on their phones diligently.
What's going on? I looked around, and even Hyeji took out her phone and was looking.
What kind of situation is this?
- For real, it looks like it?
- I saw it in the photo the seniors gave, but this is the first time seeing the real thing!!
- He went to the military and just returned to school? If he returned immediately, he'd be a sophomore, so he'll be in our class?
- That guy's senior friends all tried to approach him to date but got rejected, right?
- He doesn't talk to anyone, male or female, and just walks around alone?
- I heard that too lol. But seeing it in person, I get why the seniors who tried to hit on him are heartbroken, bro. Just looking at him makes you want to die? Is his there big? I want to try it.
- Me too, want to die. Should I talk to him?
- Fuck lol lol The seniors couldn't, can you? lol lol
- Huh? Why?
- Why did you come in with Minho senior? It seemed like you were talking while walking over.
- Eh? For real? I heard seniors are cold people who don't talk to women?
- Hmm? Not sure. Today in the general class, he talked to me first...
- What? He talked to you first?
- Oh lol lol lol Wow lol lol lol
- Wow, sat in general class with senior? Jealous.
- Even though it's weird to say, but a guy talking to you first doesn't make sense lol lol
When my KakaoTalk went up in the group chat, I could collect countless hooks. You guys probably won't believe it even if you see it? Even I who became the same group don't believe it!
Looking at the classmates' reactions, I felt a bit good. Like... is this superiority? The feeling of having something that others don't have!
It might not be bad... hehe.
Then, the moment I felt a presence standing next to me, a voice addressing me came.
"Hyeji, why did you sit in a different seat? Let's sit together."
Eh... eh?
Huh!???
Why is Minho senior next to me!!
I clearly saw him sitting in a different seat earlier...
Could he have come to sit with me?
In the absurd reality I couldn't figure out, I moved to the side and gave him the seat I was sitting in. The senior didn't care that it was the seat I sat in and immediately sat down.
What?
What is this situation?
From the group chat content earlier, I heard that Minho senior is a person who doesn't talk to women at all... but why is he approaching me and talking?
Could it be...
No, that's impossible.
Absolutely, NEVER!
It's an absolutely impossible thing!
But... people inevitably have a small hope.
Could it be... Minho senior likes me...?
Ah, I imagined in an instant getting married to Minho senior and seeing grandchildren...
hehe.
