Chapter 16: I Will Never Date You!

Change (6)

I think it's inevitable that the way people around me treat me is changing.

Siwoo is the same. It can't be helped, since my body has become a woman's.

Let's say I almost fell and Siwoo's hand or arm touched my chest.

When I was a man, I wouldn't have cared much. What big deal would it be if we touched anyway? It's not like he's grabbing it.

But if Siwoo's hand touched my body now, we'd both be incredibly embarrassed, like in the subway yesterday.

I went into my room and checked the time on my smartphone. It wasn't quite bedtime yet. Maybe elementary schoolers would be asleep by nine, but not many college students would be.

Siwoo and I were the same. We had a habit of staying up late studying before college, and we were almost always awake until late at night.

Siwoo was having a hard time for a while after his grandmother passed away, but he was doing okay by the time he entered college.

Siwoo and I...

How much time had passed?

After sorting out my complicated thoughts and looking around, an unfamiliar landscape greeted me.

A room filled with peculiar devices I had never seen before.

However, I could roughly guess the purpose of those devices.

Seeing one strangely shaped device in the center of the room connected to the others, it was easy to tell that it played a key role.

More than anything, my hands and feet were bound by that central-...

The monster was indiscriminately bombarded. Missiles exploded, and several bombers that followed finished it off. The massive creature couldn't withstand the power of steel civilization. Its corpse collapsed, and the waves surged.

Dan Ga-yeon, who had been watching the situation while leaning against the ship's railing, let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow, I really thought I was going to die..."

Comet went to her side and stared at Dan Ga-yeon.

"Teacher."

"Oh, you're here."

Unlike before, there was no cauldron or hazy smoke in the ordinary faculty room. Rei Meyer greeted Xenon with a wave of his hand.

"Where did all those things go?"

"To another space."

The same faculty room, but another space? It was impossible to understand what he was saying. Moreover, it was difficult to adjust to this attitude, which was completely opposite to the Reisha I knew.

Wednesday, the day of the third test.

I endured. There was no monster invasion. I was deeply relieved by that fact.

Perhaps that one totem alone was enough to break the barrier and destroy an entire village.

Thinking that way, I felt it was fortunate that I had eliminated the totem, even at the cost of my hand.

Well, investigating the barrier was one thing, but I was so tired from studying to escape last place that I felt like I was going to die.

Of course, I was...

"Hoo."

Only after Ihyun left the house did Siwoo let out a deep sigh and sit down.

"What am I going to do with her..."

She has all of Ihyun's habits, from A to Z.

Just like Siwoo had gotten drunk in front of Ihyun before, Ihyun had also gotten drunk in front of Siwoo. Usually, she doesn't lose her mind completely. She remembers everything the next day, too. She just seems nauseous like now, and staggers a bit.

Maybe that...

Waiting for my younger sister is a little awkward.

What did Siwoo and I usually do when we met?

Let's see... we probably played games, watched movies, watched dramas, stuff like that. We'd only lived together for about two weeks, but that's how we spent our time.

Originally, I was planning to clear out of the apartment on weekends if Siwoo got a girlfriend. Strictly speaking, I wasn't someone who particularly needed the apartment. It would be better for me ...

"It must be eliminated."

All eyes in the room turned to the speaker.

For a moment, a silence hung in the air, as if the room had frozen over.

"We must eliminate it before a situation like 163-18 occurs. We can't allow a disaster like that to happen again."

Ignoring the atmosphere and the gazes of those around him, he spoke again, making his will clear.

An entity that emerged from a dimensional gate and caused a ...

Comet looked in the mirror at the temporary residence in Incheon. She grabbed the hem of her skirt, twisting and turning to examine herself.

『Why are you fussing over your appearance so much?』

"It's my first appointment, so I have to pay attention."

『It seems like you're trying too hard for a friend.』

"Officer Dan doesn't seem to think we're friends, so that's why. Shouldn't I try to gain her favor somehow?"

Comet nodded, satisfied....

"...So, you're saying you're joining the magic club because Reisha Professor is Rei Meyer, just like you said?"

"Yeah."

Xenon nodded as if it were obvious. Certainly, if it were Rei Meyer, simply following the curriculum would be helpful. But the fact came so suddenly that I couldn't think calmly at all.

The power of the former 'Top Hero' was beyond imagination. She was only mentioned in the original work, and she didn't even appear in the parts I...

Yun Hamin was stunned by my words.

He mumbled a few times, as if chewing over what he'd heard, then quietly asked again.

It felt like that wasn't enough for him.

"...You want me to smile?"

It wasn't an incomprehensible reaction. I even thought it was a natural one.

If it weren't for me, he wouldn't even have a reason to agonize like this, and it must be perplexing for the cause of it all to be saying something like this.

It probably seemed strange that I, w...

Ah.

I want to die.

Out of all the choices in the world, why did I have to choose to come to Siwoo's place?

Sitting on the toilet in the 'The Thinker' pose, I pondered.

When I said I needed to use the restroom, Siwoo suggested a few solutions.

First, the subway women's restroom.

I shook my head.

I still felt a strong sense of rejection. My body was adapting in its own way, but I still felt strangely resistant ...

“Kuhya…!”

The carbonation going down my throat after so long felt like it was clearing everything out.

It wasn’t as sweet as cola, but for some reason, I didn’t dislike the taste. It actually felt like it went better with food.

“By the way, are you even allowed to drink?”

“You’re asking me that now?”

I said, slamming my glass of draft beer down on the table.

Siwoo was struggling to get away from Ihyun.

The reason was simple.

Not because he disliked it, but because he was afraid he might start to like it.

When Ihyun opened her mouth, she was Ihyun. The way she teased Siwoo was exactly the same as the usual Ihyun, and so were her tone, facial expressions, and every little habit.

She was a little more timid after going through such an illness, but that was it; she was the friend I...

It was nice meeting Siwoo.

He was still not awkward at all, and he accepted all my slightly weird jokes.

He hardly treated me roughly as he used to, but, well. I guess that's because it hasn't been long since I got out of the hospital.

The only problem was that we had met yesterday too.

Moreover, the place we are in now is exactly the same place we met yesterday.

There are so many stores, and if we wanted to go somewhere, there would be many ...

My sister said, picking out a few clothes for me.

"Wear them today."

"Huh?"

"You're going to see Siwoo Oppa, right? Wear them."

"No..."

"Why? You don't need to dress up in front of a friend?"

That's true, but.

Even when I was a man, I didn't think I needed to dress up a lot to see a friend. I could just wear whatever I was wearing.

I didn't really have a girlfriend, and it wasn't like I knew how to appeal to women, but I still thought I put some effort into my clothes.

I wasn't particularly trendy, nor did I have a great personal style. But at least I didn't think people would say I was badly dressed.

"No, not at all."

But my sister immediately frowned upon hearing my assessment of my fashion.

"You just wore drab colors, top and bottom. It was always just pants and a shirt. A...

I slowly moved my chopsticks and spoon as I ate, feeling a bit choked up.

My younger sister was staring intently at me.

She wasn't sitting on the sofa like a while ago; now, she was at the dining table.

It would have been better if she had eaten with me, but since she wasn't eating anything, she was literally just staring at me.

"Um, so... Ah, no, no. Just eat. You can listen while you eat."

My sister opened her mouth as if try...

Inside the returning bus.

Siwoo watched Ihyun growing distant through the window.

Ihyun, staring blankly at the bus, was quickly moving away. The smile had vanished from her face, which had been laughing and chatting just moments before.

What was she like originally?

Ihyun, whom Siwoo had known since childhood, had a cheeky personality.

Short and a bit skinny, but not particularly intimidated by kids bigger than her, s...

It was the first day, and after becoming like this, I didn't really feel like working out hard, so I just did it half-heartedly and left.

I came impulsively without even having separate workout clothes.

Besides, I realized something.

When I'm simply walking down the street or taking the bus or subway, people don't really stare at me. People in Seoul usually aren't that interested in others. Whether I sit or stand next to them, they don't even care in sit...

The door lock password hadn't changed even after six months. Of course, the number I had registered on my smartphone was the same, so when I held my smartphone to the door lock, it beeped and the lock opened.

I wondered why I even thought, 'What if it doesn't open?' I didn't have any memories of being abused.

My parents are good people. I fought with my younger sister often, but I don't think she's a bad person. I don't know if we were very wealthy, but I've n...

Until I had eaten a few pieces of chicken, neither of us said much.

I was about to say nothing happened, but I stopped myself.

If I had to put it a certain way, I was the 'something.'

I had been in the hospital for six months.

SHIBA Syndrome, due to its characteristics, is grounds for medical discharge.

Frankly, if I were in their shoes, I'd choose discharge over staying in a military hospital.

In Korea, it's already classified as a rare and incurable disease, so it receives various forms of support. You can receive treatment at a unive...

Why was she so listless? Just moments ago, she was practically bursting with energy, shaking Aisha around. Now, seeing her like this, Aisha couldn't help but worry. She poked Frey's body with a finger, and it felt alarmingly dry. Usually, there should be a layer of slick mucus, but...
