Chapter 24: The Unforeseen Hiatus

“Ootchaaaaaa…!”

A pretty girl (for real) takes in the cool morning air and stretches.

That was me, Cheon Su-yeon.

Undoubtedly the queen of homebodies. I, who never went outside except to go to the convenience store, had embarked on an outing.

It was practically a deviation from my norm, a world-shattering event, but there was a reason for it.

Hmm… isn’t there a saying in the world?

‘Make your bed first.’

-That phrase. It meant that in order to achieve great success, you must do things one by one, starting with the small things.

So, I came outside to do some simple exercise. It was a necessary path to establish myself as a strong, corporate-level streamer.

Didn’t I feel it deeply in my first broadcast yesterday? Due to my physical issues, I had to end the broadcast quickly, and even postponed the opportunity for a collaboration with Leni until next time.

I still think it was the right choice, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t disappointed.

Therefore, I needed to improve my stamina in order not to miss the next opportunity that came along.

By the way, I don’t know who said the above quote. But the Sergeant First Class in the army had it plastered everywhere, so it was still firmly etched in my mind.

So, did you make your bed before coming out?

Uh… I probably didn’t? There’s no need to make the bed. It’s all a figurative expression. The important thing is that I started.

<Armageddon~>

Following the smartphone, the number two essential item for modern people. Cheerful music flowed from the Bluetooth earphones made by the emotional gangster Apple company.

You have to listen to music when you exercise. It’s a legally recognized form of doping, so there’s no need not to use it.

In the first place, I’m not the type to enjoy exercise, so I wouldn’t even attempt to exercise without this kind of song.

My current outfit was also a light tracksuit. It was a slightly fitted outfit, so it showed off my figure a bit… but it was okay.

Since it was dawn, there wouldn’t be anyone to look at me anyway. I waited until dawn to come out for that reason.

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

The goal was to lightly run around the neighborhood once. Before I came out, I calculated it on the map, and it was about 3km.

I haven’t exercised much recently, but I participated in the morning 3km run even as a 병장 (Byeongjang/Sergeant) without fail, so I think I can easily complete it.

If it feels a little short, I can run half a lap more.

-Tadat!

I started to move my feet lightly. It’s nice to be light because I’m a woman.

I always feel that it’s just a different level from a man’s. Is it because I lost muscle? Or is it because of skeletal differences?

Anyway, I was continuing to run energetically. And exactly 7 minutes later…

“Hweek… hweek…”

There I was, gasping like a dying zombie.

I think the fast pace at the beginning was poison. Even though it wasn’t that fast, I got tired sooner than I thought.

It was really strange.

Generally, shouldn’t it be easier to run if you weigh less? That’s why many track and field athletes have thin bodies overall.

But why am I, with this light body, getting tired so quickly!

Could it be because of the two new masses that have appeared? I wore a sports bra to keep the usual jiggling in check, but that didn’t eliminate the weight itself.

And apart from those scientific points, it was strange.

Aren’t people who turn into pretty girls generally supposed to have excellent physical abilities?

That was definitely common sense. In fact, the protagonists of the various works I’ve seen so far were generally like that.

So, I still vividly remember those protagonists climbing rough mountains and doing large-scale contents like national land expeditions.

-Thud

“Hweek…”

But it seems that novels are just novels. It’s completely different from reality.

“Ugh……”

My pace, which had been slowing down little by little, no, at a disastrous speed, eventually stopped. It was when I had reached about the halfway point.

-Thump!

I sat down on the floor as it was. It was amazing that I didn’t sprawl out.

Hot. Hot. Sweat was pouring down my body like rain, and there was no way to stop it. To make matters worse, my hair, soaked in sweat, kept sticking to my face, making me even more frustrated.

-Whoong!

The morning air was very cool, but it was far from enough to drop the heat that dominated my body.

“Hooah………”

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and lay down on the floor as it was. I unzipped the tracksuit and took off all the miscellaneous things like earphones.

In this situation, music was just noise that beat my ears, not a cheerful rhythm.

“………”

Looking at the night sky, which was so peaceful unlike me, I fell into sentimentality.

I have a long way to go. Nothing is easy in this world.

“Hoocha…”

After resting while lying down for about 10 minutes, I realized a truth of life and got up.

It’s a shame, but today’s exercise is over here.

Beep! Announcing to everyone. The strength training session that was scheduled for later has been canceled due to the organizer’s physical issues.

Now all I had to do was return to my sanctuary, but coincidentally, my legs started to tremble.

“Ah… I’m screwed.”

Unlike at the beginning, my body was incredibly heavy, and an unquenched thirst burned like fire in my throat.

I’m really going crazy. How am I supposed to get back?

**

“Ugh……”

I managed to return. It was so difficult that it was hard to maintain my sanity.

All I could do was gulp down water and collapse on the bed. And then…

“………”

-Ttiriri!

“…Um?”

Suddenly, an alarm rang on my smartphone, so I turned my gaze to it. After waving my finger around to check, it was definitely the one I had set.

Its purpose was to notify me every night at 7 PM that it was time to prepare for the broadcast.

“Huh…?”

Yes, at 7 PM.

I couldn’t believe it, but I didn’t set the alarm wrong.

Surprisingly, it was just past 7 PM, which meant that I had exercised, returned, and slept for 14 hours.

I was still wearing yesterday’s tracksuit, and unpleasant stickiness was crawling up my skin from all over.

I was unconscious for 14 hours… How much did I lack exercise? It was a tragedy that I could only reflect on my own faults.

“Hoo……”

After washing up and coming out of the bathroom with a hot, steamy feeling, another 40 minutes had already passed. Now I really had to prepare for the broadcast.

I really had to…

‘Why is it so annoying.’

Endless powerlessness and laziness were dominating my frontal lobe, and it did not allow any movement to my body.

In other words, I didn’t want to do anything.

Thinking about it, is there really a need to turn on the broadcast at 8 PM? It’s not like I posted a notice that I had set a broadcast time.

Or maybe. Maybe the shy SolNoon fans who may exist are eagerly waiting for 8 PM.

Then wouldn’t it be better to just say I’m taking a break?

‘It’s difficult. It’s difficult.’

Now I could feel a tingling pain in my frontal lobe. But the problem wasn’t just whether or not to do the broadcast.

If I turn on the broadcast today, what should I do?

Should I play LoL? But I can’t snipe today?

Leni had broken through her ninth attempt yesterday and succeeded in promoting, so it was impossible for me to suck up to her until I went to Bronze.

Then should I just do a ranked game broadcast? I don’t think I can have as much fun as yesterday if I’m not sniping someone?

Frankly, it was a more difficult problem than the college entrance exam. Why is nothing easy in this world?

While I was worrying, the time eventually passed 8 PM.

There was no other choice.

My conclusion after enduring was ‘a broadcast without content is worse than not doing it’.

Still, since I had a conscience, I accessed the LoL Gallery to leave a notice that I was taking a break from broadcasting.

“Wow…”

Surprisingly, there were quite a few posts looking for me. But unfortunately, I had no choice but to disappoint them today.

Everyone is a good viewer, so I think they will fully understand my heart.

But the reaction was spicier than I thought.

Still, at first, it was at the level of a spicy Mala Tang, but gradually posts and comments that crossed the line began to appear.

In the end, I frowned and just logged out. There were plenty of other fun things besides the LoL Gallery anyway.

First, Leni’s broadcast. Today was also the day she was broadcasting, so I should spend time watching it and copy some content.

But…

-Tiring!

[Leni’s Broadcast Notice: Taking a break today due to personal reasons.]

“No… is this right? You don’t suddenly take a break on a regular broadcast day.”

Even that plan was shattered. I even felt betrayed by Leni for breaking her promise with her viewers.

“Huh…?”

So I realized it. The hearts of the viewers who had been endlessly waiting for my broadcast.

As expected, it’s Leni. She was a being worthy of being called my broadcast teacher.

I was unintentionally treated with mirror therapy. In response, I hurriedly started preparing for the broadcast.
