Date (1)
Date (Part 1)
To cut to the chase, the reason Ye-rim's broadcast blew up was because of me.
"So... you're saying my nipple was visible when I was in the prone shooting position...?"
Nod nod
At my question dripping with disbelief, Ye-rim couldn't bring herself to look me directly in the face and nodded with a face flushed bright red with embarrassment.
I thought she was trembling with anger because her broadcast got shut down because of me, but it turns out she was trembling with embarrassment from making eye contact with my pink nips...
Apparently, the reason for the violation of public morals was that my nipple was visible on the broadcast camera when I unbuttoned the top two buttons of my shirt saying it was hot and assumed the prone shooting position...
'What the fuck! What kind of violation of public morals is there in a nipple on a flat male chest!'
It's not like it's artistic breasts with voluptuous curves like women's or pointy nipples perched at their peaks - it's just a man's nipple on a flat chest with nothing to see!
Actually, this was a common cliché in gender-reversed genre works, so it was largely my fault for overlooking it, and in that sense, I thought I should apologize by returning half of the 2 million won advance payment, which would be 1 million won.
"I'm so sorry, Kang Cheol-ssi! Even though the broadcast time was late, I should have properly explained everything to you as a civilian before starting the broadcast... Because of me, your precious n-nipple got exposed!"
It's not particularly precious though...
Somehow I was the one who made the mistake, but Ye-rim-ssi is the one apologizing.
"First, I've turned off the replay function for the 1-hour broadcast we just recorded. I've also contacted Paprika TV to prevent unauthorized posting of videos or screenshots showing Kang Cheol-ssi's exposed nipple! ...Of course, there's no way to stop individuals from saving them for personal viewing..."
People saving my nips for personal collection to enjoy as side dishes...?
'Actually, that's great!'
Doesn't that mean my nipple could become one of the treasured possessions in any man's secret folder?
Other men in this world might have committed suicide crying 'Wahh, my life is ruined now!', but for me, it's like an industry award.
Unaware of my inner thoughts, Ye-rim-ssi continues bowing her head in apology.
Ahem, do you think I don't notice when your shirt gapes open like that when you bow?
"So what should we do now?"
Still feeling guilty, I swallow hard and ask about our next steps while letting her gaze linger on the slightly opened shirt gap.
That's because the original condition for receiving 2 million won was appearing on Ye-rim-ssi's broadcast until 7 PM, but her broadcast got suspended after just 1 hour due to the nip slip incident.
"First, thanks to the exposed scene being brief, it's not a permanent suspension but a 3-day broadcast suspension... Well, even though it was only an hour, I received way more water balloons than usual, and I needed a break anyway due to content shortage, so I'll just think of it as a vacation and rest for about 3 days."
As she says this, she looks at me and hesitates.
What is this? What is she hinting at with this hesitation?
"...And I made quite a profit too. Thanks to Kang Cheol-ssi, I got record-breaking viewer numbers. I'd like to treat you to a meal as thanks... would you possibly be free this weekend...?"
Is this a date request...?
Tomorrow happened to be my first weekend since coming to this world.
Weekends are days when socialites throw wild parties, and antisocial types engage in keyboard battles on internet communities.
And for couples or those in situationships, it's the day when motel owners shout with joy as people take one step closer to each other.
'Is this the green light?!'
In my previous world, the girl I had a crush on from the orphanage was stolen by that bastard Geum Taeyang, and I never really experienced proper romance because I couldn't get over the shock, and now suddenly I'm getting a date request here!
Besides, among the women I've met since coming to this world, Ye-rim-ssi has the most beautiful appearance, so I'd already been keeping an eye on her.
She has a cat-like but not sharp, cute round face, and even wearing a yellow padded jacket over her military uniform, she shows off an overwhelming presence with what I estimate to be E-cup voluptuous breasts.
Plus, as befits a military enthusiast, her healthy physique possesses a beauty that would make you believe she was a celebrity in my previous world.
When such a woman as Ye-rim-ssi shyly asks me - a man with nothing but debt to his name - on a date, how could I possibly refuse!
"This meal treat isn't going to be your father's side dishes, is it?"
At my teasing question implying agreement, she initially looked puzzled about what I meant, but soon understood the meaning, her eyes widening to the size of marbles before bursting into a beaming smile.
"Yes yes! I know an absolutely delicious jeyuk deopbap place! I'll make a reservation there! Hehe~"
Oh... This woman knows her food, doesn't she?
'Of course, jeyuk deopbap for a first date meal with the opposite sex is a no-no, but keke!'
Chuckling inwardly at her menu selection that suggests she's never been on a date with a man before, I made a date appointment with her for 12 PM the next day downtown.
------------
"Wow, holy shit, look at that face! It's insane!"
"Should I try to get his number?"
"Stop it. With that face of yours, you'd be lucky if he doesn't spit on you."
"You wanna die?! What's wrong with my face!"
"Your face looks like it's been dragged once on an asphalt road. Plus, just looking at you, it seems like you're waiting for a girlfriend..."
Whisper whisper gossip gossip
Current time: 11:30 AM.
Having arrived 30 minutes early for our 12 PM appointment, I was sitting on a wooden bench placed in a corner of downtown where I was supposed to meet Ye-rim-ssi, swinging my short legs back and forth while searching internet articles to kill time.
And is this to be expected?
Surrounded by women whispering among themselves while looking at me like I'm some rare animal, I can't let my guard down for even a moment.
'Clearly, when I first came to this world, I enjoyed these kinds of looks...'
Since I'm in a gender-reversed world anyway, my goal was to meet various women and enjoy a fantastic sex life...
[Sex crimes against men occurring consistently today and yesterday!
Kidnapping drama unfolding in broad daylight on the street with female bystanders watching!
Bystanders say 'We thought they were a couple'
Is men's safety okay like this?]
I frown at the article appearing on my smartphone screen.
Though they appear slender and beautiful on the surface, these women - addicted to the bizarre system of genital exchange due to gender imbalance - were potential criminals who could turn into rapists at any moment.
'Crazy goddess bitch! What the hell is genital exchange!'
Changing me to have a beautiful appearance that attracts women even when I'm just standing still must have been to mess with me!
"Sigh..."
Since most articles were just stories about helpless men being kidnapped and getting fucked, I sigh and switch back to my smartphone's home screen.
And the text displayed at the top left of the home screen.
[First week of January, sex count: 1. (Remaining residence period: 360 days)]
※The next week begins on Sunday.
Originally, there was only text showing sex count and remaining residence period, but this morning when I woke up and turned on my phone to check the time, I noticed the phrase 'The next week begins on Sunday' had been added.
'And today is Saturday. That means at midnight tonight, next week's sex count will start counting...'
Goddess bitch, are you watching me from somewhere?
Adding this text exactly on the day I have a date with Ye-rim-ssi.
No matter how I think about it, this seems like she's egging me on to have sex with her tonight.
Originally, I planned to enjoy jeyuk deopbap with the kind-hearted and beautiful Ye-rim-ssi, then sit at a cafe for coffee as dessert while discussing internet broadcasting that would become my future source of income, and end the date there...
'I can't miss this opportunity...!'
If I decide to have sex, I could easily do it by seducing just one woman off the street.
But if I did that, I'd get caught by some woman who sees me as a one-night plaything, forcibly have my genitals activated for exchange, and get to fully taste the flavor of that bastard Longstone!
'But what about Ye-rim-ssi?'
Although we've only spent a few hours together yesterday, unlike the women drooling over me now, didn't Ye-rim-ssi and I have enjoyable conversations, and moreover, didn't I share a meal and build rapport with her family members - her younger brother and father?
'In other words, Ye-rim-ssi and I are practically like family!'
Ah. But having sex with family is NG, so maybe we're more like neighborhood acquaintances?
We are actually residents of the same apartment building too.
Just as I was contemplating how to persuade Ye-rim-ssi to come to a motel with me and then how to convince her to have normal sex there...
"Did you wait long?"
Speak of the devil - just as I was intensely thinking about Ye-rim-ssi, her voice reached me right by my ear.
"Not really~ About 30 minutes? You came right before I turned into an ice sculpture..."
Giving a half-joking, half-serious playful answer to her who appeared exactly at 12 o'clock sharp, I lift my head.
"...Whoa?"
Instantly, the world stops and only she fills my vision.
Skinny jeans that cling tightly to highlight her healthy, firm thighs, and a snow-white sweater that emphasizes her voluptuous breasts - so ample they'd never starve a baby - bulging as if about to burst at any moment.
And her black hair falling to her shoulders is neatly arranged in a ponytail style, swaying softly.
Ye-rim-ssi out of that shitty military uniform and in civilian clothes was incredibly beautiful.
Really...
'Tonight. I've got one more reason to go to a motel room...'
