The day I proposed marriage to my girlfriends and resolved to become a husband worthy of them. Three years had already passed since that day. Three years, a time when truly much changes.

I was still uploading game review videos to my YouTube channel, just as before. “Alright, upload complete.”

Isn’t it the same old thing, despite it being a time when much changes, you ask? If a channel that had less than 500 subscribers for a personal hobby has now become a large channel with 600,000 subscribers, isn’t it fair to say a lot has changed?

[As soon as I saw the notification for Hyung-nim’s channel, I ran over like a dog!] [Another useful video today. Of course, I haven’t watched it yet. But it’s obvious it’ll be useful if I watch it now, right?] [Found it, my side dish for today’s meal]

As soon as I uploaded, comments filled with the subscribers’ fussing appeared. Even though they were comments left without watching the video, it meant they trusted my channel and watched it, so it made me feel proud.

‘It’s a huge relief that things worked out well.’

Since the day I brought up marriage to my girlfriends, I had striven to become a man worthy of myself and them. I finished up to my second year of university, then took a leave of absence to devote myself to running my YouTube channel. There were quite a few failures and trials in that process, but I ultimately overcame them all and climbed to where I am now.

Changing the direction of the content significantly influenced the channel’s success. I shifted from the existing method of reviewing well-known major games to exploring works that, while not famous, had excellent gameplay. Combined with the niche market effect and the know-how I accumulated through consistent uploads, it produced positive results.

Thanks to this, as the channel grew, I was also creating content like previews of major games before their release, or reviews of bizarre games that weren’t worth buying. The fact that I became a YouTuber affiliated with a large MCN, and that the channel grew too large to manage alone, leading me to hire four employees, was a bonus.

Of course, I could never say that I succeeded solely through my own efforts and abilities. Not only was a portion of the one billion won, acquired thanks to Sexmuwiki and Yuna, put to good use, but the support and encouragement from my girlfriends by my side were a great psychological help. Perhaps without their support and my resolve for them, I wouldn’t have achieved such results.

‘Time has flown already. I should leave soon.’

Having an appointment, I hastily finished my preparations and headed out. The bustling downtown area was filled with a mix of people excited for a burning Friday night and office workers heading home. I briefly stopped by a shop there to pick up an item I had ordered in advance, then made my way to our meeting spot.

“Jihoon-ah. You’re here?” Minah-ssi, who had been waiting, smiled as she saw me. It was the same kind and gentle smile as three years ago.

“You’re already out? Have you been waiting long?” “I haven’t been out long either. Did you come straight from work?” “Yes. I just uploaded another video. What about you, Minah-ssi?” “I just came after reading a bit, as usual…”

Her slightly embarrassed smile was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off her, no matter how many years passed. She, who still lived with Yiseo Noona, was enjoying a leisurely daily life as a reward for her busy days as a counselor.

Others might ask if she wasn’t still at an age to work hard, but it didn’t matter to me at all. I had no other wish than for my girlfriends to live happily.

“The others are still at the company, they said. Should we go in somewhere and wait?” “The other employees must have already left the company anyway, so let’s go pick them up.”

The place Minah-ssi and I headed to was not the old Sandfox Entertainment building, but the SNF clothing brand building. I swiped the employee card Chaerin-ssi had given me before, entered, and knocked on the CEO’s office door where she would be.

“Chaerin-ssi.” “Ah, Jihoon-ssi. Minah Unnie.” “Chaerin-ah, you were still working. Were we bothering you?” “No, Unnie. I was just finishing up and tidying, so it’s fine.”

Chaerin-ssi, who had been running both an MCN company and a clothing brand, had transferred the MCN CEO position to someone else two years ago and was focusing on the clothing side. This was partly because Yiseo Noona and Yuna had quit being streamers for some reason, and because a close unnie who worked with Chaerin-ssi at SNF had stepped down from her CEO position, stating she wanted to devote herself to her family. Thus, Chaerin-ssi was currently concentrating on a single company, and true to her nature, she was achieving outstanding results.

“Phew, I’m done tidying, so shall we go to Yiseo? Yuna will be with her too.” Chaerin-ssi and I moved to another area in the same company building. It was a place a fashion designer might use, lined with various mannequins and clothes. Yiseo Noona and Yuna were sitting at a large table set up there.

“Noona. Yuna-ya.” “Ah! Oppa-ah!” Yuna came running over and hugged me tightly. While she greeted the other unnies, I exchanged greetings with Yiseo Noona.

“Jihoon-ah, you came quickly?” “I met Minah-ssi earlier than I expected, so I just came. Are you still busy?” “No, it’s fine. I’ve done everything I needed to do today, and I was just asking Yuna how things were.”

Two years ago, Yiseo Noona made a bombshell announcement: she would quit being a streamer. The reason was her long-standing interest in working in fashion design. It happened to be the time when Chaerin-ssi also decided to focus on SNF, so she entrusted Yiseo Noona with the design of her company’s products as a test, and that became the turning point for Noona to embark on the path of an exclusive fashion designer for SNF.

Unlike other famous designers, Yiseo Noona hadn’t studied abroad or received professional training, but her unique style and bold attempts garnered very positive reactions in the market. I was so surprised when I heard that the clothes she designed sold out in less than a minute. Chaerin-ssi, it turns out, had somewhat anticipated Noona’s abilities. This was because Noona had participated in designing merchandise outfits since her time at Sandfox, and the reactions were always excellent then. That’s why when Noona said she would quit her successful streamer career, Chaerin-ssi didn’t try to stop her at all and signed her as a designer without hesitation.

“Oppa-ah!” “Yeah, Yuna-ya. Did you take good pictures today too?” “Yep!”

Yuna, who returned to my embrace, also retired from being a streamer a year ago. This was because when Chaerin-ssi and Yiseo Noona joined forces at SNF, Yuna also started working with them. When she did her final farewell broadcast, saying she wanted to do other work, she burst into tears that shook the world, perhaps because it was a farewell to the grateful fans who had soothed her loneliness before she met me.

Yuna’s new job was as a fitting model for SNF. Thanks to her outstanding physique, she greatly contributed to Chaerin-ssi’s company growth and quickly became famous in the industry as a model with overwhelming volume. The phrase “model with overwhelming volume” might sound a little strange. This is because it’s generally accepted that for women’s clothing, the fit doesn’t look good the larger the bust, making models with very large cup sizes at a disadvantage.

However, Chaerin-ssi’s entrepreneurial brilliance led Yuna to succeed as a fitting model and further grew the company. Her strategy was to target consumers who struggled with large busts and add new products. And to entrust Yuna with fitting those products. To an ordinary person like me, it seemed like a doubtful attempt that might not work, but the result was a huge success.

Unexpectedly, there were many women who struggled with clothing coordination due to their large busts, and the clothes Yiseo Noona designed with that in mind, along with Yuna’s shopping mall photos wearing them, garnered enthusiastic reactions from specific female consumers. Thanks to this, Yuna gained fame in the industry, and after graduating from school, she was actively working, taking photos not only for clothes for glamor figures but also for various other types of apparel.

For reference, just as she never turned on her webcam during her streamer days, Yuna deliberately continued her modeling work without revealing her face. This was because she herself didn’t want her face to become known, and also, if she were to become famous not just in the industry but among the general public, it could cause difficulties for me and the unnies. So, her photos always had her face blurred, but there was no need to feel disappointed about not being able to see her beautiful photos completely. Because I was her boyfriend, and boyfriends were given special benefits.

“Did you take good pictures today too?” “Yes! Shall I show you?! They turned out really well!” Yuna pulled out her phone and showed me the photos taken in the studio. The original versions, with her beautiful smile captured as is, without her face hidden by post-processing. This was the benefit I could enjoy precisely because I was her boyfriend.

“They turned out beautifully. Did Yiseo Noona design this outfit too? It suits you well, doesn’t it?” “Right?! I asked for this pattern to be put here! Hehe. If you like it, I’ll send you the photos!”

Chatting with Yuna and my other girlfriends, I belatedly realized that this was a company. “We should probably get going soon to make our reservation time.” “Jihoon-ssi, then you all go ahead without me. I’ll go home, change, and come separately. It’ll be quick if I drive.”

Chaerin-ssi’s formal attire was good, but I couldn’t miss her beautiful appearance dressed up for me, so I readily nodded. “Yes. Then we’ll all go ahead first.”

A little later, the five of us gathered again at a high-end restaurant. The food and interior were excellent, but more importantly, it had private rooms, making it a perfect place for us to enjoy a comfortable meal among ourselves.

“Mmm! Yiseo Unnie! Try this! It’s amazing!” “Really? Okay. …Wow, what is this? I’ve never had anything melt so smoothly before.” “Kids, try this too.” “Hahaha. Minah Unnie. You don’t have to get one for me.” “Oh, Chaerin-ah, I’m sorry. It’s a habit to serve, so I did it without thinking.”

My girlfriends were still harmonious… no, their bond had become even stronger than three years ago. Their beautiful appearances hadn’t changed even a bit, remaining exactly the same. This didn’t mean they looked that way to my eyes because of infatuation, but that it was truly the case.

Leaving others aside, even Minah-ssi looked exactly the same as three years ago, and I suspected it might be the effect of the ‘healthier sex’ that the Sexmuwiki creator gave as a reward three years ago. “By the way, Jihoon-ah. What day is it today that you reserved a place like this?” “Right? It’s not Oppa’s or the unnies’ birthday today, is it?”

Following Yiseo Noona and Yuna, Minah-ssi and Chaerin-ssi also looked curious. My girlfriends couldn’t have known, but today was a truly special day for me. Three years of striving after deciding I wanted to marry them and become a husband worthy of them. After numerous trials and errors, today was the day I finally felt I was qualified. That’s why I prepared this gathering today and called them together to convey my feelings.

“Well, you see. I called you all because there’s something I want to say to everyone.” Feeling my heart pound, I secretly pulled out something I had hidden. A rectangular velvet case, like one that might hold a harmonica, which I had picked up at a place I stopped before coming to our meeting spot. As I slowly opened it and showed it to my girlfriends, four engagement rings gleamed brilliantly inside.

“Yiseo Noona. Yuna-ya. Minah-ssi. Chaerin-ssi. Marry me.”
