Chapter 9 – Mesgaki Broadcasting Day 2
-[Livestock Yellowy]: Yes, it works haha.
Disgusting…
Look at the added haha at the end of words. Stop doing that on purpose to seduce me.
It feels so disgusting to talk to him because he seems to be trying to flirt with me.
I must have looked ugly…
Seeing that the profile picture only has a body in a suit, not a face, I think she must resemble Mrs. Shimura.
-[Meky]: Please give me your phone number.
-[Livestock Yellowy]: Why?
Ah …
Why do you keep trying to figure out why?
Are the numbers that expensive?
‘I just want to finish it quickly…’
-[Meky]: Do you want to add KakaoTalk as a friend, don’t you want to meet me? So, you can cancel now…
-[Livestock Yellowy]: No hehe (rough phone number).
-[Meky]: Please wait until I contact you.
-[Livestock Yellowy]: It’s okay to do it slowly heh.
Damn, do you want to kill that thing with the letter ㅎ?
The more I think about it, the more I hate myself in the past.
It’s my fault for making a ridiculous promise. Just try to end the date tomorrow. The next day, we’ll take a break and play as we please.
When I saved the number given to me by Livestock Yellowy to my cell phone, I was automatically added as a friend on KakaoTalk.
My name is Jaeyeon Park.
Like the Twitch profile picture on KakaoTalk, there was a picture of the body in a suit.
I guess you weren’t very confident with your face?

-[Shin Jae-joon] : Hello? This is Meki, an internet broadcaster.
-[Park Jae-yeon] : Hello haha.
That bastard ha… Let me just give up.
First of all, as a viewer, as naturally as possible… Naturally…
-[Shin Jae-jun] : Do you live in Seoul?
-[Park Jae-yeon] : Yes haha
I live in the same Seoul…
I don’t have to go far, so it’s rather ok.
The day is coming when I date a girl…
The last time I was beaten by Mrs. Shimura, I thought I would never see a woman again, but this time I really had no choice but to do it.
Next time, let’s not put such strange conditions…
-[Shin Jae-joon] : Do you have time tomorrow?
-[Park Jae-yeon] : Yes.
-[Shin Jae-jun] : Then, can we meet tomorrow around 3pm?
-[Park Jae-yeon] : I’ll see you tomorrow at 3:00, Mr. Jae-jun haha.
-[Shin Jae-joon] : Then I’ll see you tomorrow.
Ugh, that’s disgusting.
“What is Jaejun-ssi? Wow… You really disgust me.. Just meet me tomorrow…”
-Growl…
‘Ah… I was in the refrigerator earlier, so I couldn’t eat anything, right?’
I haven’t eaten anything except for breakfast this morning, so I’m hungry like crazy.
You have to eat something
He was already short, but he said that if he didn’t eat anything, he would go to sleep quickly, so he couldn’t be tall.
“Lululu~ What’s in the refrigerator~!”
– Knock!
Um… Nothing?
‘Right… I was able to get in there because there was nothing, right?’
There was nothing in the refrigerator, so I closed the door again and looked elsewhere.
Next to the refrigerator, the drawer is the place where you store the most food.
– Knock!
Nothing here… Ah there’s something.
[Hunting Level 1]
Nungsim won ramen
It’s not spicy, it’s mild.
“Mild taste… It’s about as good as ramen.”
The fact that there was food in the house made me feel good.
Well, it may not have much nutritional value, but you should be grateful that you eat anything.
-Widely!
I turned on the gas stove and put a pot of water in it.
The Yangeun pot was dented because it had been used for a long time, and the lower part was burnt, so it was a different black color from the original color.
I’m poor
“First, put in the noodles, then the soup… Huh?”
– Jjiik!
I don’t know if it was because I was too sleepy, but I accidentally spilled it while cutting the soup.
Still, if you put it inside the ramen, you’d think it was safe, but again, unlucky, it fell somewhere else, and it was mixed with dust and dirty to eat.
“Ugh… Mild taste and half soup? Are you telling me to die?”
This is unfair.
No, it must have been manipulated by someone.
Yeah, I’m actually someone secretly filming and I was an actor in that movie.
He tried hard to deny reality, but what came back was a growling stomach and despair about his poor life.
I somehow put the remaining soup into the ramen and finished cooking, but no matter how I looked at it, the ramen didn’t look perfect.
Tasteless bland + half the soup + failure to adjust the water.
[Cooking Grade: Horrible Food]
If you want to eat something like this, just look around.
Um… Should I just throw it away?
-Growl… Growl?
You are hungry.
“Okay, let’s take a bite and think about it.”
Pick up the noodles with metal chopsticks and put them in your mouth.
“?”
‘What?’
It tastes awful.
No, it just doesn’t really taste like anything…
Salty, sour, sweet, bitter, I just don’t feel any taste.
Does it taste like this if you put raw noodles in water?
You must have sharpened your sense of taste because you were hungry, but how tasteless is this level of taste?
Gulp.
I ate ramen slowly to somehow fill my stomach.
While I was eating, I was watching Me Tube on my cell phone, and seeing a male broadcaster like me grilling and eating a delicious steak made me shed tears of blood.
I was making good money before I came to this world… Damn it…
“Sniff… Gurp… Sniff… That’s fucking shit.”
My tears taste better than ramen.
***
It is a familiar ceiling.
When I open my eyes, I always see the white ceiling and a very stylish ceiling with modern LED lights placed on it.
“Did I fall asleep?”
When I opened my eyes and got out of bed, I was greeted by a marble with the boiler running and emitting warm heat.
Yes… This was a house I bought by earning hard money with coin quality.
When I first bought this place and decorated the house, I was so happy that I felt like I could fly right away.
But why do you think your gaze is lowered?
In the first place, my height was not extremely tall, but I was in the mid-to-late 170s, so I could never say that I was short.
But strangely, why do you think you are short?
“I guess I didn’t wake up well… As expected, I make coffee with a coffee pot in the morning…”
“Hi?”
As soon as I came out of the living room, I saw a person who looked just like me, smiling, sitting in a chair and drinking coffee elegantly.
What?
Why am I over there?
“Hi, another me?”
“Another country? Who are you, are you at my house?”
“Your house is now my house, hehe…”
I was sitting in a chair and slowly stood up and brought a large mirror from the living room and looked at me.
Obviously, the face looks similar to mine, but it looks a little cuter, and it’s much shorter than the original me…
“Did you see it now? We have changed.”
“No, that’s nonsense… Wait, then you know that your body has changed?”
“Of course you know… I used to pray every day and go to shrines.”
Hearing those words, my mind suddenly went white and the events that happened after the world changed began to appear in my head.
Memories of living a hard part-time job day by day, eating junk food from convenience stores, being molested or sexually harassed on the way to work, and even receiving a sponsor offer from someone like Mrs. Shimura.
Suddenly, anger welled up inside me, but now I wanted my body back rather than anger.
“Please… Give me back my body…”
“Why me?”
“That’s my original body…”
“It used to be your body, but now it’s my body… In the first place, only the world is different, aren’t we the same person?”
Although they were the same person, their lives were very different.
Before I came here, I had a family, and I was able to earn a lot of money with coins through financial support.
However, in this world, I was a newcomer to society living in poverty day by day with no family and even no financial support at all.
They were literally opposites.
“Give me back… I hate this world so much… Women are just weird, no money…”
“That’s why I don’t want to go either. In this world, I have a lot of money and a family, and even women are weaker than men and are gentle, so why should I change them?”
That’s right.
I wanted to return my body because I didn’t like this kind of life, but could I, who had lived through misfortune and tasted happiness, willingly give it back?
“And I don’t know how to change either, except I went to the shrine and prayed every day.”
“Gentleman?”
“Yes, a shrine… It was broken last year, but there is a shrine I prayed for every day.”
Hearing that he was a gentleman, he hoped for a new opportunity, but nothing came of it.
I feel like I’m going to cry because of the despair.
It gets blurry and my body doesn’t move…
The light-headed eyes began to close.
“Bye…”
“Fuck.”
***
As soon as I opened my eyes, the scenery I saw was old and shabby, and I saw an old ceiling with blue mold growing.
Hot water was flowing from my eyes.
Even though I drank enough water last night, I felt thirsty to the point of cracking my throat and felt as if dust was filling my lungs with every breath.
“Fuck.”
Those were the first words I uttered after waking up.
