I don’t want to be a VTuber.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was the day when the cold of winter seeped into the room.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When I opened my eyes, the clothes in the closet were scattered everywhere, as if a bomb had hit them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What the hell is this…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ah, it’s not like martial law was declared in the middle of the night, so what is going on?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Who gave me this trial, when I don’t even have any reason to go out?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“There’s no… no clothes.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For someone like me who’s lived for over ten years, only rotating between black hoodies, this is quite a public occasion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I must have thought about my outfit so much that now, just looking in the mirror makes me want to throw up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even though the combinations are all similar and the only thing that differs is the logos… I thought at least one would look somewhat respectful.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Seriously, damn…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Skulls, or melting smiles.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Latin or English phrases that seem meaningful…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chains hanging on parts I would never use.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No matter how much I try on, there’s no normal outfit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Haha… it’s ruined.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To understand why I, who never cared about fashion, am making such a fuss, you need to know the message I saw this morning.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ding!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No matter how much the clock says it’s 1 o’clock, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m sleeping like it’s 6 o’clock.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heh. If you treat the afternoon like the morning, it becomes the morning.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ah, poor afternoon. Are you resisting?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For someone like me, who can change the “worldline” even without a microwave?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hehehe… maybe I’ll just laze around until 8 today.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I know it must look concerning to someone who doesn’t know my situation. But my bank account is rich enough for me to relax for a while.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That unknown English nickname… it started with a Q, what was it again?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Anyway, the records I had with that person disappeared, but a mysterious 10 million won was deposited into my account.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was something I couldn’t understand… but the idea of a man moving into a woman’s world was weirder, so I decided to stop thinking about it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With that 10 million plus the personal savings I had, I am now enjoying temporary financial freedom.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After enjoying the unemployed life for about a month, I plan to start working again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I probably wouldn’t have experienced this freedom if my body hadn’t changed. The food expenses for a woman, Kang Suhyun, were much lower than when I was a man.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When I solved all my meals with a single ramen, even I was astonished.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I didn’t even put rice or eggs in it, and I couldn’t even believe it was possible.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thanks to that, my food expenses for the month dropped drastically, and I had extra money to spend in various places.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What happens next can be considered later. With these drawing skills, I’ll definitely earn more than before, so I can take it slow…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ding!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: Hello. WhitePalette-nim. This is the manager of LumiLive, FlyingCloud…]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Huh?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A work email?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The blanket falls as I unconsciously lift my body.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Though my bare white belly is exposed in the comfortable clothes I wear at home, that’s not the important part right now.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A huge opportunity came rolling in without any warning.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It might be the biggest opportunity I’ve ever had in my life…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’ve made work emails before, but I’ve never actually written one…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I can’t believe the day has come for me to write this.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
An email arrived in a clean, untouched inbox.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The tone of a professional… it was long, but to summarize, it was this:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Whether I could continuously draw for LumiLive, including for members like Hanasaki Yui.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They want to meet and discuss the details in person… it was a very adult and calm message.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“If you want to meet, we can decide the place after talking through SNS messages…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Me, going out to meet someone?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The only time I went out after this change was for Yui’s debut.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even then, I completely hid my face with a mask and sunglasses.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Would it be rude to meet with a mask on?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If I claimed to be a genius illustrator with a fourth-dimensional personality…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That can’t be…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I’d probably just not want to go through with the contract.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But if I go out like this, things will definitely get noisy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As someone who’s read countless works, I can say…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even if you exclude the clichés in TS (Transsexual) stories, there’s no way there isn’t a scene like that.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Scenes where passersby gossip and convenience store employees imagine confessions.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Mask, sunglasses, hat… Hmm. I think I’ll have to give up on the sunglasses.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When I went to the café, I realized something. It’s winter now.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In fact, it’s deep winter, with heavy snow falling, and the sun almost completely blocked by the clouds.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Wearing sunglasses is no different from broadcasting, “I want to hide my face~.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Right. The mask and hat are for warmth, so I can just say that…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, the only problem left is the clothes…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To find at least a decent outfit, I ended up turning my room into a mess.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They say not to regret things after you do them, but… when should I clean this up? Should I call a cleaning service?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was around twenty minutes after I had been sitting blankly that I got a message from FlyingCloud on SNS.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: Hello, WhitePalette. Have you read all the emails?]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[WhitePalette: Yes! I just finished reading them all.]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hmm. Even I feel guilty about that red lie.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The truth is, I was busy trying to figure out what to wear and turned my room into a disaster, but that’s a secret.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud would never know, but I feel a bit guilty about it anyway.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: Yes. If you are unsatisfied with the contract after we meet, of course, you don’t have to sign it. We value making the best choice for our artists, so you don’t have to draw illustrations you don’t want to.]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[WhitePalette: I see… If we have a more detailed conversation, where would be a good place to meet?]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: Since I’m the one requesting, unless it’s too far, I will adjust to your convenience, WhitePalette.]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[WhitePalette: Thank you. Then, would you be able to come to ‘Cafe Tree’?]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I sent the address of the café we visited before.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Cafe Tree isn’t that famous since it’s a small café in our neighborhood.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But since our neighborhood is easily accessible from anywhere in Seoul, it should be fine, though a little awkward.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: Do you often go to Cafe Tree?]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Eh.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What does that mean?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This isn’t the question I was expecting…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[WhitePalette: Yes. I go quite often. At least once a week…]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: It’s true that Cafe Tree is different from other coffee brands.]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…Eh?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: Looks like we’re neighbors.]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In a quiet corner of Cafe Tree, a hand with a luxury silver ring engraved with a cross gripped the cup.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The long, pale fingers twisted around the cup like a snake, slowly bringing it up to meet lips with an alluring smile.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The rich espresso disappeared silently.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s really delicious.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With a husky and lazy voice, she quietly muttered as her yellow eyes slowly folded.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her slim figure, wrapped in a fitted leather jacket, stood out, with only her white wrist visible.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
While the leather jacket covered most of her upper body, her slim legs, visible through the skinny jeans, created an intriguing contrast.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud glanced at her phone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was 5:35. There were still 25 minutes left until the meeting time.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since she had been out when sending a message to WhitePalette, she had decided to wait in the café.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was a pleasant coincidence that WhitePalette had free time—though it had always been free, this time it was especially so.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud, who doesn’t usually show much emotion, was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect them to live so close.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[WhitePalette: Our meeting is at 6, right? Is there any distinguishing feature that might help me recognize you…?]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Flying_cloud: I’m a woman in my mid-20s sitting alone in a corner of the café, drinking coffee. I’m wearing a silver ring, a leather jacket, and blue jeans. You can come slowly.]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[WhitePalette: Got it! I’ll be wearing a black hoodie, long pants, a hat, and a mask!]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hm… looks like you’re not really into fashion.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud muttered in a nonchalant voice.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It doesn’t matter. The members of LumiLive are all beautiful, but we’re not going to expose them to the public anyway.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If their real appearance, revealed by digging into their past, looks like that, they’ll be satisfied and disappear.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
People know it’s unreasonable to expect beauty from illustrators who are drawing pictures.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hoping that at least their voice might be decent, FlyingCloud took a sip of espresso.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ding!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When the espresso had decreased by half, the bell at Cafe Tree shook.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud murmured, “It’s about time,” and casually shifted her gaze.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Uh. Ah… Hello?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A clear and melodious voice rang from the entrance, causing the lazy yellow pupils to dilate.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Under a small black cap, silver hair fluttered brilliantly, as if soaked in moonlight. Eyes, as green as a winter lake, anxiously shook.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A pure yet unique impression that even the mask couldn’t hide. Despite minimizing exposure, the skin on the hands and around the eyes, revealed awkwardly, was as fresh as freshly fallen snow.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud immediately recognized the curves beneath the oversized hoodie. Bandages.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She looked like a beautiful girl who could easily be the visual lead of a popular idol group.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Jackpot.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FlyingCloud smiled broadly.
