Love Call ②
I imagined the opposite situation. What if Sehyun were a woman.
Hmm. I readily accepted it. Mirror therapy is effective.
"......You should just shut your mouth. It's cute, though."
"Cute? ......Me?"
I didn't miss Sehyun's slip of the tongue.
A smile formed on my lips as I collected weaknesses.
"Ugh......! What I meant was! When I see you from the outside, it might look like that!"
"Puhehe-! I said I'm cute. Even the great Lee Sehyun has changed his tastes quite a bit. Time is scary."
"What kind of nonsense is that!?"
"Changed to a realist who says the flat chest closer than the distant royal breasts is better."
Sehyun glared at me with a furious expression.
His face was trying to deny it but failing.
In other words, the loser’s face. What are you going to do about it.
"Anyway, I'll meet the guild master tomorrow evening."
"Got it. Come back well."
I told Sehyun my plans.
It was a promise that had appeared after a long time.
Half expectation, half worry. My mood was unsettled.
'From now on... So, it's time to start thinking about realistic things.'
I can't depend on Sehyun forever.
I need to pull myself together and prepare to stand alone.
Nine Tails Guild called out to me.
It was a perfect opportunity to settle down anew.
"Eh? Your smartphone is ringing a lot today."
"Who is it this time?"
"......It says the caller is 'scumbag'?"
Black Wolf Guild.
Especially a call from my former superior who was a bad guy.
"Just in case, I didn't block it. Calls are coming. Nothing's happening."
"You don't want to answer?"
"Why would I? Am I crazy? Just hearing the voice would make me furious."
I had postponed blocking just in case there were handover matters, but forgot.
I should block it now that I remember.
We were dirty together, and it's eternal farewell.
No matter what happens to Black Wolf, it's none of my business.
I deleted the bad blood with Black Wolf from my smartphone.
'......Should I delete this number too.'
All contacts of that woman who was once my fiancée.
---
Next day.
I dressed for the appointment location.
"Ugh......"
The skirt is awkward as always. I can't get used to it.
Exposing skin is still uncomfortable.
'When I was a man, I didn't wear shorts much. Now I'm showing my calves. What kind of stunt is this.'
I dressed neatly for the first time in a while.
White blouse, black business skirt, and stockings.
It looked like the standard office lady outfit.
"Hey, you......"
Sehyun, seeing my appearance, was stunned.
He had only seen me in gym clothes before, so he couldn't adapt.
"Yeah, if you want to mock my appearance, mock away! Aaaah! Mock me!"
I was at my wit's end.
I didn't want to show Sehyun, but had no choice.
"When I was a man, the clothes I wore didn't fit the size, I had to go to work at Black Wolf Guild, and there was no one to help!"
This was the office look I chose after agonizing.
From the first time I wore it, I was extremely embarrassed.
The workplace is a hellish den of evil.
Even as a woman, I have to go to work.
There are mountains of tasks to handle.
"I worked at the office for about a month. ......Isn't it funny?"
Now, why did I do that.
After all, I was in the position of being ignored at work.
I could dress as I pleased like a lone wolf.
Business casual is tough. Whoa.
"No, it's not funny. ......It suits you well."
"What?"
"Wha, what, you look pretty."
Sehyun scratched his cheek awkwardly and praised me.
This is a listening test question.
Guess the intentions of the best friend here. 3 points.
The answer is sarcasm. There's no way she's pretty.
Pay 3 points to start the attack.
"If you're going to tease, just tease openly!"
I kicked Sehyun's shins with a low kick.
I meant to kick accurately.
"Uwaak!?"
Slippery. I misstepped while running wildly.
It was due to the unfamiliar stockings.
My lower body collapsed, and I did a fancy somersault.
My hip bone took the shock and was sore.
"Ah, ayaaaa...... It hurts."
I self-destructed like a dog.
Like the essence of a romantic comedy, my panties peeked out.
A plain white one, but combined with 30 denier stockings, it was quite erotic.
"......Did you see?"
"I didn't see."
"You're writing a script. How do you explain that reaction?"
"Insane! What are you looking at!?"
Sehyun suddenly hugged me from behind.
His reaction was shy. A man's 'kyaa'?
Now I don't know if he's a girl or not.
"Oh, I see. You confessed after being poked. Easy, easy."
I handled it with leading questions.
The male instinct is professional, and I'm professional too.
I have enough male experience.
"You have an office look fetish. Well, for a plain pervert, this outfit is acceptable."
"No!"
"It's fine. I understand. I'm a man too. Why hide it. We're best friends who know everything."
I actively support male instincts.
It was natural from my position as a former man.
"Even so, saying 'pretty' is crossing the line. Say 'cute' instead. Then I can understand."
Honestly, it's extremely embarrassing.
Showing this to a childhood friend.
I can never be happy even if told I'm pretty.
"Why did you dress like that?"
"I told you. There's a promise tonight."
It's a meeting with the Nine Tails guild master.
I had to dress formally.
"I received a scout offer from the guild master. It's basically an interview."
I paid attention to my outfit.
As a woman now, I dressed appropriately for my gender.
"Ah, time's up already. I'll go."
"Yeah. Come back well."
"Ah, when I return, I'll give you the stockings I was wearing. How about it, thanks?"
"Get out quick!"
Leaving the house with Sehyun's passionate farewell.
When I went outside, the giggling face collapsed immediately.
"Huu. Huuuu-"
I didn't show Sehyun, but I was in extreme tension.
My heart was pounding, and dizziness swirled.
"......Can I do it well."
I wanted to produce the best results.
That's why I dressed up like a woman.
I desperately compromised with the reality I faced.
No matter how much I deny it, I'm a woman now.
'Even so, humans are adaptable creatures. Since I'm alive, not a man.'
The memory of begging that woman comes to mind.
I begged to return to being a man no matter what.
I wanted to maintain the engagement somehow.
I was the only one sincere in the relationship.
'Now it's all irrelevant.'
Even if gender changes, life continues.
It continues without interruption. Even after repeating countless trials.
'As long as it doesn't bother me, it's fine. What's wrong with being a woman.'
That woman no longer interferes with me.
My life has become entirely my own.
I'm a human who can roll along roughly.
If I can maintain my essence, does gender matter?
Eh. Let's live moderately.
This is a strategy of a fat pig richer than a hungry Socrates.
'If Sehyun, who might die as a single old man, has a chance, I could give him a hug in friendship.'
Not bad as a volunteer service.
By disregarding gender, my heart became lighter.
Finally, the appointment location arrived.
The person I was to meet appeared before my eyes.
Slightly wavy blonde hair and pumpkin-colored eyes.
The face is a classic Korean beauty, but the body's curves are Western glamour.
"Guild Master."
The other person looked up from their smartphone.
"Oh my. Siha."
Nine Tails guild master, Eun Miho exclaimed.
It seems she finally recognized me.
"Since the joint hunting team disbanded, it's the first time."
"Hey. You said to call me noona at private gatherings? Ah, now it might suit unnie."
"Haha. What nonsense. Guild Master."
Still, an older adult with a burdensome tongue.
Miho's bold distance was troublesome.
"But guild master, the title is too stiff."
"Think of it as respect for the hunter representing Korea."
"Can't be helped. Shall we play handcuffs until a pleasing word comes out?"
"Ah, wait!?"
Miho suddenly grabbed my hand.
I flailed like a mouse caught in a trap.
"Call me noona? Call me unnie?"
Either way, the pain content was excessive.
It was literally a deadly choice. Death or dead end.
"Ah, u~ Now let go."
It was sincere, so it was scary.
I pitifully appealed to Miho for leniency.
"Oohora."
But seeing my reaction, Miho smiled wickedly.
It was a mischievous smile revealing sadistic playfulness.
"Should grab the other side too."
"Guild Master!"
The situation worsened. I was restrained with both hands and cried weakly.
"Decide. Noona? Unnie?"
"Please let go. ......Miho noona."
"Hmm. The expected answer wasn't this, but I'll let you go."
I barely escaped from the pinch.
Why is Miho so desperate to harass me when she sees me.
I was always in the position of being led, both then and now.
'When the public sees the terrifying hunter and she pulls pranks, it's scary.'
Nine Tails guild master, Eun Miho is an internationally renowned strongest.
Her hunting achievements as a hunter are destructive.
The image she gives to the public is mad dog.
'She claims to be nine-tailed fox, but foxes are dogs, so mad dog suits her.'
Even in front of her, I can't say a word.
