Chapter 37 – Family Meeting ②
^-^
How will you live in the future?
After becoming a woman, there were so many things that were constrained.
What is the university like?
The most important resident registration number, resident registration card, card or bankbook to live in Korea.
There was nothing I could do right.
“Ehh…, I didn’t like being a woman.”
I was just trying to live a comfortable life while playing around, but as expected, there was nothing comfortable in life.
“Isn’t it strange that I became a woman in the first place?”
“······That’s true.”
Why did I become a woman in the first place?
After changing my gender and becoming a woman, I have never really thought about the ‘why I became a woman’.
For what reason or for what reason did I, who was a man, become a woman overnight?
Right now, I couldn’t pinpoint anything because I couldn’t think of anything specific.
“Well, aside from that. How am I really going to live now?”
“······I’ve been looking for it, but if this is the way, it’s the way.”
“What method?”
I listened to her, wondering what her mother would say.
“How do I let people know I’m legally a woman…?”
“······What kind of method is that?”
Seohyun asked what that meant, and Kim Jihee continued by saying, “Listen carefully.”
“It’s simple. You just need to legally prove that you changed your gender from male to female.”
“······Is that possible?”
“I thought you said it because it was possible?”
Seohyun asked her mother, Kim Jihee, in a fit of spirit at her words.
“… No, Mom, how the hell does she know that?”
“My son, no, daughter now? Anyway. It’s my child’s business, so I have to find a way even if I stay up all day and night.”
“Mom······.”
As if Seohyun was moved by Kim Jihee’s answer, she covered her mouth.
“Wait a minute, Mother.”
Seol-ah left behind Seohyun, who was covering her mouth, and began to refute her opinion of Kim Ji-hee.
“If she does that, I think she could be mistaken for someone who underwent gender reassignment surgery, just like Seohyun was worried about.”
“······”
Kim Ji-hee started staring at Seol-ah, who contradicted her own opinion.
Seol-ah, who misunderstood that gaze, hastily apologized.
“Oh, sorry if I offended—”
“Again.”
“Yes···?”
“Tell me again.”
“Yes, yes…? What do you mean…”
Seeing Jihee Kim appearing to be angry, Seol-Ah stuttered her words in embarrassment, but Jihee Kim didn’t care and continued her words as if urging her to speak quickly.
“Please say the word mother again.”
“······”
Seol-ah was flustered and couldn’t say anything, but Kim Ji-hee’s eyes seemed to beg her to speak quickly.
“Uh… That. Uh, Mother…?”
“······Ommaya.”
Then, Kim Ji-hee seemed satisfied and began to talk loudly.
“I can’t believe the day will come in my life when I’ll hear something like that. That’s from such a pretty lady! I think my son brought a daughter-in-law well. Isn’t it, honey?”
“······No honey, now is not the time to say such a thing.”
“Ah. Look at my mind. Big, what were you talking about? Oh, yes, you said you could be misunderstood? Yes, yes, it could be.”
Kim Ji-hee, who seemed briefly agitated by Seol-ah’s word ‘mother’, was able to return to the original topic of conversation after hearing Lee Kang-heon’s voice telling her to calm down.
Kim Ji-hee, who came back to her senses, said.
“According to Miss Seol-ah, you mean that our Seohyeonie could get negative attention from friends and society, right?”
“Yes.”
Seol-ah nodded in affirmation at Ji-hee Kim’s words.
She opened her mouth with an expression that Kim Ji-hee, who seemed to be worried for a while, couldn’t help it.
“In this situation of becoming a woman in the morning, I don’t think there’s any other way I can think of.”
“That’s right…”
Seol-ah nodded her head as if she couldn’t help it.
Kim Ji-hee looked at her Seohyun and continued her words.
“And in order to properly use cards, bankbooks, and things like that, you have to prove that you’ve changed your gender more legally.”
At those words, Seohyun let out a sigh and grabbed the nodule of her hair.
“Yeah… Should I just give up on college… I can’t stand not having friends…”
Then, Seol-Ah gently took Seohyun’s hand that was holding her hair, then wrapped it around her own hand and whispered.
“I’m with you.”
“…!”
Seol-ah’s whisper suddenly reached her ears, and her face turned red, and she hurriedly covered her face with her hands.
“Wow, what a star!”
She shouted that she didn’t want to look like Lee Seo-yeon, but well, that wasn’t important right now.
“Yeah… I just need you, Seol-ah.”
“Seo Hyun-ah…”
“You must stand…!”
Now the two of them are getting closer and closer, kissing lips to lips… It wasn’t like that, they just hugged tightly.
“Kyaaaaa!! Don’t do that in front of me!!”
Leaving Lee Seo-yeon screaming and running back to her room, Seo-hyun burst into laughter and said,
“If he had a boyfriend, he would be like this.
Well, right now we’re talking about how we’re going to live, so think about that later.
Seohyun, who was about to say that now that the decision has been made, let’s put it into action, suddenly asked out of curiosity.
“But how do you do that?”
“What?”
“I mean legally proving it.”
Jihee Kim looked at Seohyun and slowly began to tell her.
“Ah. It’s not that simple. It requires a lot of paperwork.”
“Documents? What documents?”
“We need a family relation certificate, a resident registration card, and even a doctor’s note.”
“Doctor···?”
Hearing that not only that, but this and that was needed, Seohyun started muttering with her somber face.
“Should I just give up…? It doesn’t seem like much of a problem… But wouldn’t it be more comfortable if I gave up…?”
Eventually, Seohyun made an expression that she was angry now and started screaming.
“Why did she become a woman!! She just wants to live as a man!!!”
Then, Kim Ji-hee, who was looking at Seohyun’s figure in her, swung her hand and she said.
“How is it? It’s just cute.”
“Yes. I admit that.”
Even Seol-ah agreed with Kim Ji-hee’s words and chimed in.
“Wait for a sec.”
At that time, I heard the voice of my sister Seo-Young Lee, who had been looking for something on her cell phone for a while.
Lee Seo-young, who paused for a while, continued by showing her cell phone screen.
“Seohyun, do you have fertility?”
“Muh, what, what?”
I suddenly wondered why he was saying this, so I looked at the screen of Lee Seo-young’s cell phone, and this was floating on the screen.
*4. A medical certificate or appraisal in the name of a professional doctor confirming that the applicant has no current fertility and there is no possibility that fertility will occur or recover in the future…
This is the screen that says …
After reading the contents on the screen, Seohyun slowly opened her mouth.
“······Since she didn’t really undergo sex reassignment surgery and just changed into a woman’s body, wouldn’t she have the ability to reproduce…?
To those words, Lee Seo-young answered cautiously.
“…Then isn’t that legal proof?”
“Ah, it will be~”
She said Seohyun didn’t care, she said calmly, but she said Seoyoung Lee firmly.
“Is it legally determined?”
“······”
Cold sweat was running down Seohyun’s back as soon as Lee Seoyoung’s words ran out.
She had barely found a way to live, so she was willing to take the blame and go that way, but the law was blocking her way.
“So what do I do now?”
“Well…?”
Seohyun, who was rolling her head quickly, clapped her hands with an ‘Ah!’ And then opened her mouth.
“I-I thought I was a man, but since I’m a woman, would you change it if I asked for it again?”
“…Do you think that’s possible…?”
“How about it! They legally recognize gender reassignment!”
“······”
“That, and!”
Seohyun continued her words with her face full of hope.
“My body is a perfect woman right now, wouldn’t it be okay?”
Upon hearing this, the family members opened their eyes wide and began to speak.
Of course, even Seol-ah.
* * *
As a result of the family meeting that started at dinner time and continued until late at night, the conclusion was ‘I don’t know.’
So far, there has been no news or article that this has happened, and there is no such story on YouTube or various social media that a new resident registration number was issued because I thought it was a man but later realized that it was a woman.
Kim Ji-hee, who had gradually reached the limit of her stamina, grabbed her head and asked.
“What time is it now···?”
“11 o’clock.”
“11 o’clock… Then, after all the meetings, the conclusion is ‘I don’t know’…?”
Jihee Kim squeezed her eyes and stood up from her seat as if saying no.
“Mom can’t be sleepy anymore. She’s my grandfather’s birthday tomorrow, and she’ll go to bed first.”
“Okay. I need to sleep too. You guys shouldn’t stay up too late and go to bed early.”
So her mom and dad went into the room first to sleep, and we naturally started talking again.
Of course, it wasn’t a story of ‘I became a woman from a man, please admit it’, which has not yet been resolved.
“Will Seol-ah sleep in your sister’s room?”
“That’s right. Seoyeon doesn’t like anyone coming into her room. Besides, my bed is a bit big. Would it be enough to lie down with three women?”
“Yes. I admit that.”
Even though her mother said she could go now, she was talking about whose room she would sleep in because Seol-ah stayed until the end and was at her family meeting, so she had to go to sleep tonight.
Even with her mom and dad’s permission.
“Let’s sleep together!”
Seohyun smiled broadly and took Seol-ah’s hand and led her into Lee Seo-young’s room.
