I didn’t get to the main point from the beginning.

“Can I speak informally?”

“Oh, yes. I like that too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ban Kang-ju spoke.

“So, why are you a temporary contract holder? It would have been much easier to debut when you hit it big with . Don’t you know the saying, “When the tide comes in, don’t you dare?” It’s a basic thing in this industry?”

It was natural. It was a natural, informal speech, as if he had been my senior from the beginning.

“Hmm. Well, at that time, things were not planned, and I was seriously contemplating my identity.”

“Identity… Ah.”

He seemed to not understand for a moment, but soon nodded after confirming my words. That would make sense. If you look at my appearance right now, I am prettier than most women. Honestly, if you search the entire Republic of Korea, I would be the only one who would receive a Grade 5 certificate while wearing women’s clothing and still have a healthy body.

Otherwise, all the men who wanted to do public service or be exempted from military service would have gone to get a physical examination dressed as women. Well, that’s horrible to even imagine.

“… Are you a real man?”

“Yes. My older sister already announced it in an interview, right? The nanny in was filmed by my younger brother.”

“But now you’re calling me sister again… Ha.”

“Well, that’s definitely how you act. In this situation, it’s a little awkward to call her ‘noona’, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right… .”

Because we’re not very close with each other.

Whenever silence came, Ban Kang-ju would raise his glass of soju.

“Ah, I’m an accompaniment… .”

“Oh, then. Do whatever you want. I don’t really intend to force you to drink.”

I don’t know if he was naturally strong-willed or if he was just having a hard time drinking today. After that, we only talked about trivial things for about 20 minutes. Before I knew it, there were already three empty soju bottles on our table.

Considering that I drank it in half, it means that Ban Kang-ju drank two bottles of soju by himself in 20 minutes.

“Ugh… .”

It was obvious that he was a little drunk.

Even Ban Kang-ju realized that he was drunk, and only then did he bring up the main topic.

“First of all, let me confess… I dated a cross-dresser once.”

“… Huh.”

It was a truly unthinkable circumstance. No, isn’t it natural to not think about it? A woman who had been slept with a cross-dresser. It was an incredibly rare case.

By the way, perhaps because I was back in work mode, my speech naturally changed back to formal.

“Even that person, what should I say? When he dressed up like that, he wasn’t the type of person who pretended to be a woman perfectly.”

“Ah… .”

I thought I knew what you meant.

There were a few transvestites who pretended to be women on the outside, but then suddenly revealed that they were men and teased them. But, in fact, I don’t think they had any malicious intentions.

“I know, I know. He wasn’t really trying to screw me over, he was just joking. But I’ve heard that some people were really shocked by that joke.”

“… … .”

“Really, I approached her because she was so pretty and I liked her, and I wanted to be friends with her. Do you know how surprised I was when she said, “Hey, you’re here?” in a man’s voice? Even now, more than 10 years later, I still have dreams about that memory. This is worse than the military.”

Certainly, after about 10 years of being discharged from the military, I won’t even dream about the military.

“But I didn’t know it would happen again.”

“Yes? One more time?”

Why do I feel a little guilty when I hear the nuance of “one more time”?

“Yes, that’s it, that’s it.”

Oh my, it was me after all.

“It’s rare for someone who does this job to not watch dramas. People like that are really shirking their duties. Everyone likes dramas and actors, so they do this job. And in the meantime, I watched episode 1 of ?”

“Yes… .”

scary.

It’s scary to hear any more.

“There’s that nanny that came out there, right, you. She’s so damn pretty and cool. Wow, this is the person. I thought I’m going to live my life fangirling over this person from today on. What’s this? The main character came to Team 2 in person?”

Now that I think about it, I don’t think she’s been giving me any unpleasant looks since then. Huh? Was that someone else? No, maybe she was too embarrassed to look at me properly.

“Should I get his autograph? Or should I do something? I was like, “He’s a guy?” Ha, are you kidding me?”

“… … .”

“Do you know how shocking that was?”

Actually, I don’t know how big the shock was.

But I was equally shocked by the anti-Kang Joo’s words. No, isn’t that a bit shameless? Considering this, I decided to continue to cross-dress, and I couldn’t act childish in front of someone who was shocked.

“Ha, I think I got even more irritated because I thought I’d be talking about such shameless things. Are you sorry?”

“Huh? Oh, no.”

“Honestly, it must not have been easy to become that feminine, and I pretend not to, but did you feel a little bad when you heard that from me just now? You don’t have to hide it for no reason. It’s natural. Even people with strong mentality can be torn apart by a single, trivial criticism. That’s human nature.”

Isn’t this the real deal, giving a disease and then giving medicine?

But the medicine might have been a little bigger.

“That’s right. Honestly, I’m pretty, right? I know this isn’t normal. But, I’m good at it, and I like it, so what can I do?”

“Still, it won’t be easy. I’m me, but I think I handled it in a mature way. If you really want to continue doing your job like that, you’ll meet all sorts of strange people. It can’t be helped, right? If a man is prettier than a woman, and a man lives as a woman, he can’t help but instinctively feel a sense of rejection. No matter how pretty you are.”

There was not a single word wrong.

but.

“I’ve already made up my mind. Unless I really break, I’m going to try this without running away.”

I know it’s not easy. It might have been easier to just lie and go. But, by nature, that was impossible.

Our family is one that can’t just run away with lies. Even if it hurts a little, we face it head on. That’s why we have more enemies than you might think. We don’t know much about tricks.

“… It’s cool, as expected.”

“Yes?”

When I glanced ahead.

I see Bang Kang-ju looking at me intently while drinking another glass of soju. His face is strangely red.

“It’s cool! Seriously, it’s so cool. It’s so, really, so great, oh, I really liked it… .”

“Ahahaha… .”

“Let’s laugh awkwardly,” said Ban Kang-ju cautiously.

“I’m sorry if I sounded rude. And I’ll cheer you on. To be honest, I’m cheering you on more than that guy named Choi Yoon-ha.”

“… … .”

I haven’t decided yet what work I’ll appear in or what I’ll do in the first place.

“When I film a drama, I will go to all the OTTs that distribute the drama and write reviews for them all.”

“I don’t know if I’ll become an actor or not?”

“What are you talking about! Are you going to let that talent go to waste?”

“First, let’s talk about what we originally had to talk about. That’s what we came here to talk about, right?”

“Oh, right.”

Oh, right? This guy really forgot.

“Come to think of it, the reason I told you about being a transvestite was because I had been a bit rude to you. I wanted to hear the reason in a more relaxed atmosphere, but how did the conversation turn into this? Are you drunk?”

I think I’m drunk.

“Well, I think I’ve said everything I wanted to say. I’m feeling refreshed, so I’ll listen to you now without any colored glasses. Why on earth did you choose over ? Is it because Choi Yoon-ha can stand out a little more in Girl Hero?”

“Uh, um. It’s not really a special reason. It might sound weird, but.”

“Tell me.”

“I think will at least be successful.”

“… … .”

At my words, Bang Kang-ju pursed his lips a few times with a look of disbelief, then scratched the back of his head.

“I think this is the third time I’ve heard the same answer. Yeah, well. If you say that, then what can I do? I lost. Well, I don’t know anyone, but I’ll try to contact them as much as possible. ”

“Yes, thank you.”

“You worked hard today. If you want to drink more, drink more, or if not, you can go first. I’m going to stay here and drink alone for a little longer.”

In a way, it feels like I’ve come to realize that this is the adult way of solving things. In the case of Deputy Park Jung-hee, he had no choice but to use arousal magic to solve the problem semi-forcibly.

In the case of Deputy Ban Kang-ju, there were several instances where they clashed with each other, but didn’t it end with words in the end?

I guess other adults also live like this to solve some problem?

Life really wasn’t easy.

However, I personally didn’t want it to end like this.

“By the way, is that the one, Mr. Ban Kang-ju? ”

“What is that?”

“Hurup,” he asked Ban Kang-ju, who was drinking soju.

“Lesbian.”

“Phew!”

I realized that people can really vent like that when they’re really flustered. No, maybe they’re a little more defenseless when they’re drunk.

In fact, the atmosphere was so different between Deputy Ban Kang-ju, who was in the conference room, and the drunk girl, that I wondered if they were not the same person.

But looking at the dark circles under their eyes, I knew it was the same person.

“No, that’s not true. If you only look at the emotion of love, I’m a completely normal heterosexual. I’ve dated about 3 boyfriends.”

I thought that women, when they get older, there’s no one who hasn’t dated. Among men, there are many who haven’t dated even when they get older. Like Park Mu-shin, Park Mu-shin, and Park Mu-shin again.

[I feel bad for my friend… sigh.]

I said to the anti-Kang Joo agent with a grin.

“Then wouldn’t that be better?”

“… Yes?”

“The girl I like is actually a guy. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“That’s….”

For the first time, Deputy Manager Ban Kang-ju began to reveal her clumsy weaknesses. Instead of being a third-year manager who handles work smoothly, she had the face of a girl who was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.

[Wow, Master, you are really… amazing!]

“Jo, is it any good…?”

“That’s good. Why don’t you go check it out now? I think it’s probably piled up quite a bit, considering the agent’s condition anyway. I’ll tell you from now on that it’s good that I’m a cross-dresser.”

At that moment, Deputy Ban Kang-ju was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to do.

I got up and drank down the remaining half bottle of soju in one gulp.

“Oops, uh… Hey, please calculate this for me!”

I thought about that while walking to the hotel with that kind of friend.

I need to earn harem points.
