Chapter 3: Two motae solo and goldsa temple two

“Mom! Open the door quickly!”

“No, now you’re even making Mom open the door… Huh? Who is this beautiful child?”

“Ah… it’s Sejin… They said he changed because he caught TS disease…”

“Eh? Sejin? This cute child? No way… You didn’t bring someone else, did you?”

‘As expected… Jungwoo’s mother probably wouldn’t recognize me.’

‘Honestly, it was nothing short of a miracle that Jungwoo recognized me.’

‘But I wonder how Sejin will persuade his mother…’

‘It’s probably best to just wait quietly, right?’

‘I have a feeling if I interfere, things will only get worse.’

“It’s not someone else. I told you, it’s my best friend, Sejin. He’s the only one who wears these unique glasses.”

“Ah…! That’s right. Indeed, Sejin always wore those unique glasses whenever he came to our house. Sejin… it looks like you were kicked out of your home… Are you alright…? It must have been a huge shock…”

“Hngh… Waaah! Mother! Waaah!”

‘It’s a relief… that Mother recognized me…’

‘Is that why?’

My tension released, and I rushed into Jungwoo’s mother’s embrace.

“Oh dear… Look at this. How much your heart must have ached… Yes… Cry until your heart feels better…”

“Waaaaah!”

Jungwoo’s mother had always been like a real mother to me, to the point where I called her ‘Mom.’

Jungwoo’s father passed away early, so his mother was alone.

Perhaps because of that, she always treated Jungwoo’s friends incredibly well when they came over.

Especially me, since I visited often, she treated me like a son, so she was someone I always wanted to lean on.

‘That’s why if Jungwoo hadn’t recognized me, I would have been truly sad…’

“Hngh… Mother… Thank you so much… for recognizing me…”

“If Jungwoo says it’s Sejin, then it’s Sejin. Right? Let’s see… You’ve gotten a lot shorter… And… your chest is quite big, isn’t it? Hmph… Oh my! Sejin is a boy, right? You wanted big breasts, didn’t you?”

“Ah… No! Mother, you’re making me blush…”

“Mom… Sejin… doesn’t even have underwear right now. We should probably put something on him…”

‘Oh, right…’

‘No wonder my chest kept rubbing against my clothes and hurting…’

‘On top of that, my chest was already big, so it hurt so much…’

‘And below, there was no underwear to cover my precious place, so I was so cold…’

“Hmm… For now, why don’t you try on something of mine if it fits? Your build seems roughly similar to mine, so it might fit.”

“Ah… Yes… I think I should wear that first, and then we’ll have to go buy underwear…”

“I suppose so… Let’s see… Here, I think these two should work.”

“H-huh…! D-do I have to wear… something so… revealing…?”

‘Ugh… The bra and panties Jungwoo’s mother handed me were so revealing, it made me wonder if I could even wear them…’

The bra was a revealing-looking one with frilly decorations, and the panties… haa… were thong panties…

‘How am I supposed to wear that…?’

‘No, have I ever even seen thong panties in my life…?’

My face was burning, and I felt like I was going crazy.

“Hmm… Right now, that’s all I have that might fit you… All my other panties are too big… That’s the only one that’s somewhat close… It’s really embarrassing for me, but it should be somewhat okay for you. Will you put them on and come out?”

“Um… Uh… Mother… I don’t know how to put them on… I think you’ll have to help me wear them…?”

“Ah! My mind slipped. You were a boy until yesterday, weren’t you… Alright. Let’s go into the bathroom. Auntie will help you put them on.”

“Yes… Thank you…”

Honestly, it was embarrassing for Jungwoo’s mother to help me dress, but how could I put on women’s underwear when I’d never worn it before?

I had no choice but to accept the help…

As soon as I entered the bathroom and took off the only outer garment I was wearing, Jungwoo’s mother’s eyes widened.

‘Why?’

“Se-Sejin…? Your chest is… too big, isn’t it? It looks smaller than a D-cup… but too big to be a C-cup… Hmm… I don’t know if mine will fit… I’ll put it on you first, and you need to tell me how it feels. If it’s too tight, it’ll be hard to breathe, okay?”

“Yes… I understand.”

‘C-cup? D-cup? I had no idea what she was talking about.’

‘They were unfamiliar terms to me, a shut-in who always stayed at home…’

‘From what I gathered, it seemed like she was talking about breast size, but I should probably ask later, right?’

Come to think of it, the bra Mother gave me seemed to be the perfect size for my chest.

It wasn’t too tight, nor was it loose.

“Mother… thankfully, it seems to fit perfectly.”

“It looks that way to me too. That’s a relief. Now… I’ll help you put on the panties, just stay still.”

“Yes…”

Finally… the thong panties were laid out before my eyes…

‘This is so embarrassing…’

‘How can they be so small?!’

‘It’s amazing that such underwear exists…’

“This… is a bit embarrassing, but you’ll get used to it. Or rather, just bear with them until we go to an underwear shop and buy something else, okay?”

‘It’s… too embarrassing… I… I never knew such panties existed…’

Finally… I started to put on the much-anticipated thong panties…

‘Why on earth do people wear something like this?’

It was so embarrassing that I found it hard to lift my head…

After putting on the embarrassing underwear, I quickly pulled on my pajama top.

Mother’s pants and skirts were too big for me, so nothing fit…

‘There’s no choice… I have to go out like this…’

‘At least it reaches below my thighs, so it’s not like I’m missing my bottom half, right?’

“Sejin. They say everyone with TS disease has to register at the community center, so we should go and do that. They said that’s how you get government support and a new identity. We need to go quickly, then buy clothes, there’s a lot to do. Let’s hurry.”

“Huh? Yeah… Let’s go…”

As soon as I finished dressing and came out, Jungwoo, as if he’d been waiting, took my small hand and began pulling me outside.

‘But… he subtly grabbed my hand…’

‘It was cute how he acted as if he was being forceful too.’

‘No matter how I looked at it, I started to feel like he intended to treat me like a girl…’

‘How long has it been since I became a girl, and he’s already acting like this… I don’t know what I should do…’

‘I still don’t quite know yet…’

‘Should I try to probe what he thinks of me?’

“Jungwoo… I… haven’t been a girl for long, so… I’m so confused… I don’t know what to do next… what I should do… Nothing comes to mind… I feel like I’m going crazy…”

“Isn’t that natural? You suddenly became a girl… It won’t be easy to immediately accept your changed self. You’ve lived as a man for at least 20 years, no matter how short, and now you suddenly have to live a woman’s life? Honestly, even I wouldn’t be able to accept that.”

“Th-that’s true, isn’t it…? Haa… What should I do…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you no matter what. You just do what your heart tells you. It’s okay to act like a girl right now. In fact, I think I’d prefer that.”

‘As expected… Jungwoo wanted to treat me like a girl.’

‘Since both he and I were single, I could believe it if he fell head over heels for me the moment he saw me.’

‘Would anyone say anything if two born-solos fell for each other?’

‘I still need a little time, but…’

‘I think I’ll get used to this guy quickly.’

“Th-then it’s okay if I just follow my heart?”

“Yeah. You can treat me like a best friend, like when you were a boy… or you can act all lovey-dovey like a real girlfriend… Just do whatever you want.”

“Hey! What?! What kind of answer is that? Just tell me clearly. Only then can I act accordingly. How should I… Kyaa?!”

‘Ah…!?’

Jungwoo… that guy suddenly lifted me up in a princess carry instead of answering, didn’t he?

‘It seems he wants me to act like a girlfriend that way.’

“Hmph… Why would you suddenly hug me like this… It’s embarrassing…”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’re not a boy anymore, anyway, are you? Let’s go. They said there might be a lot of people.”

“Yeah… But… are you going to carry me like this…?”

“What? What’s there to be embarrassed about? We’ll be late! I’m running!”

‘This rascal…!’

‘I’m the one who’s embarrassed… but he just held me and ran…’

Everyone around us was staring, and I felt like I was going crazy from the heat…

Though Jungwoo was smiling brightly, as if he liked the attention…

****

We finally arrived at the community center.

When we entered the community center, there was no one there, perhaps because there were fewer people today.

‘It’s truly a huge relief.’

‘If there had been a lot of people… it would have been incredibly embarrassing…’

As soon as we pulled a number ticket, our number immediately appeared, and I quickly got down from Jungwoo’s arms and hurried to sit down.

Because I was embarrassed…

“Welcome. What can I help you with today?”

“I… I came to register as a TS disease… pa-patient…”

“Oh, is that so? Please fill out these forms. May I see your ID?”

“Yes… Here…”

“You are Lee Sejin. If you register as a TS disease patient, you can choose whether to withdraw from your current family or remain with them. What would you like to do?”

‘Huh? You can withdraw from your current family or stay? Why is this an option?’

‘Ah… it’s probably for people who are kicked out of their homes.’

‘There must be people who want to sever unwanted family ties.’

“Um… I… I want to withdraw. Can you remove me…?”

“Yes. I will process that for you. And do you have a place to stay currently? If not, we can assign you a separate room…”

‘Ah… so they even provide separate rooms…’

‘I can’t stay at Jungwoo’s house forever…’

‘I should ask them to assign me one…’

‘Huh? Jungwoo?’

“She’s staying at our house. You don’t need to do that.”

“Oh, is that so? Understood. Then, could you also provide the ID of the person providing shelter? We need to register it for support to be sent to that address.”

“Yes, understood. Here…”

‘Jungwoo…? Why…?’

I looked at Jungwoo, flustered, and he was smiling brightly back at me.
