Chapter 115

Fortunately, I thought Uncle Kang Hangeul had come to his senses, but no.

He grabbed my shoulders, pulled me away, and started speaking with the most serious face in the world.

“Arang, don’t worry. Uncle will help you. I may just be a streamer, but I’ve been broadcasting for a long time and know a lot of people. So, yeah.”

“Ugh… seriously…”

For the first time since living as Arang, I felt annoyed.

I’ve never shown irritation before, whether living as a man or as Arang.

Sure, I’ve shed tears before.

But I know that showing irritation can hurt the other person’s feelings, so even when I’m angry or annoyed, I usually just let it go.

But this time, I snapped. Normally, thoughts go through my head before coming out, but this time, it just spilled out.

‘Is menstruation really this dangerous? I heard it makes you sensitive, but reacting this intensely?’

Last time, during my period, I didn’t do anything and just let Baedeokgae and Anna noona take care of me, so I didn’t notice much. But now, with this uncle in front of me not doing what I want, I’m getting annoyed.

“Arang…?”

“Uncle, stop talking nonsense… just tell me about the broadcast…”

“Broadcast? W-wait, you don’t mean…!”

“Don’t make that weird face… people just want to see my first-person hunt…”

“Ah! That’s it, right!? Right!?”

“Yeah… and lower your voice a bit… it feels like my stomach is rumbling…”

“Stomach? Stomach…?”

I’ve spent a lot of time with Uncle Kang Hangeul, so I’ve gotten to know him well.

I always watch his YouTube videos before bed when I’m bored.

His excellent skills, witty editing, polite personality, and the combination of his manly looks and physique make his videos impossible to be boring.

Of course, the ones with the most views are the WFK videos and the ones where I appear.

From that, I’ve learned that Uncle Kang Hangeul has almost no luck with women.

Lately, he’s been spending more time with me, but he’s still clueless about women. At this point, it’s obvious even without saying.

The viewers seem to have caught on to my condition, but Uncle still has no idea.

“Stomach? Wait, could it be?”

“Ah, it’s been a month.”

“Ah.”

“Ahem.”

“It’s already been a month? Time flies.”

“???”

The viewers started to realize what Arang meant by her stomach.

If you’ve been watching Kang Hangeul’s streams regularly, you’d remember the incident where Arang casually mentioned she couldn’t log into Leore for a week because her period was too painful.

A 15-year-old girl smiling brightly while saying she couldn’t log in for a week because of her period—that scene was etched into the viewers’ minds.

“Is your stomach rumbling? Could there be something wrong with your stomach?”

“Sigh… will our leader ever get married?”

“Isn’t it a bit late at his age?”

“Everyone gets married around this age nowadays.”

“I feel really bad for Arang.”

“Sigh… it’s my period… it’s because of my period…”

“Pe, period…! Ah, right, I see…!”

Finally, the frustrated Arang just said it was her period, and Kang Hangeul finally realized why she had been so down and regretted his actions.

‘This clueless guy…!”

“Just tell me about the broadcast…”

“R-right!”

When foreign viewers heard that Arang was appearing on Kang Hangeul’s stream, they all started flooding in.

It was only natural, given that Arang, who had disappeared after saying goodbye, suddenly appeared on Kang Hangeul’s stream.

“Is Arang okay!?”

“Arang!”

“Princess!”

“She doesn’t look so good!”

“Shouldn’t she go to the hospital?”

“Hangeul, what are you doing? Take her to the hospital!”

With Arang looking sick and tired while talking to Kang Hangeul, neither of them paid attention to the chat, and viewers started donating, causing Kang Hangeul to hear the notifications.

“Everyone, I’m sorry. Right now, huh? What’s with the viewers?”

The stream, which had around 10,000 viewers, suddenly jumped to over 50,000 while he was talking to Arang, shocking him. But he quickly realized it was because of the foreign viewers.

The chat started getting messy with the sudden influx of foreign viewers.

Not only were there viewers worried about Arang, but there were also those who came to badmouth her.

Realizing it was impossible to manage the chat alone, Kang Hangeul quickly froze both the chat and donations.

“Everyone, I know you’re here for Arang. And don’t worry, Arang is fine. She’s just feeling a bit worse than usual. Right, Arang?”

Kang Hangeul raised his hand slightly, ready to stop Arang from saying something strange.

Arang, being very expressive, always required preparation, but Kang Hangeul, focused on her, didn’t realize how it would look on stream.

A 15-year-old girl, barely looking 140 cm tall, with a depressed expression that looked like she’d burst into tears at the slightest touch, next to a man over 190 cm tall, raising his hand as if to hit her—it was enough to shock the foreign viewers.

If Kang Hangeul knew about the foreign viewers’ reactions, he might have tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but he had no idea.

“Everyone… don’t worry… I’m just on my pe—”

Once again, Kang Hangeul blocked Arang’s mouth as she was about to casually mention her period.

But the foreign viewers were furious. Even though their chats weren’t getting through, they kept spamming in anger, and the stream suddenly froze.

The problem was that the frozen screen showed Kang Hangeul covering Arang’s mouth while she tried to push his hand away to tell the foreign viewers about her period.

With the stream frozen like that, more viewers flooded in, and new viewers could only see the frozen screen.

“This isn’t a serious issue…”

I’m fully aware that stories about incurable illnesses, limbs, seizures, etc., could be hard for people who like me or are seeing me for the first time.

So I deliberately avoid talking about those things. Though, anyone who’s seen the event tournament probably knows.

But isn’t menstruation a different story? Is it bad? Sure, it’s painful and uncomfortable, but it’s proof that my body is healthy.

I’m proud.

I’m a healthy girl who menstruates!

“But you can’t just say that on stream in front of so many people!”

“Why not…?”

“That’s just how Korea is…!”

“Hmm… then what should I say? Everyone knows anyway… it happens once a month…”

“Well, yeah, but…”

“Ugh!”

Ding.

While Kang Hangeul was holding his head, wondering how to explain Arang, an alarm went off.

He rarely gets alarms, so he checked it immediately—it was from his manager.

“What’s up?”

[You crazy jerk!!! Check YouTube right now!!!]

“Huh?”

Checking his stream, Kang Hangeul’s body trembled.

The frozen stream, which sometimes happens due to lag, showed a shocking scene—him, looking like a threat to Arang.

‘Was I really looking like that…!?’

His already intimidating face looked even scarier, and his large hand completely covered Arang’s face as she struggled to push it away.

It looked like a very dangerous situation to anyone watching.

[Hurry and turn the stream back on!!! People overseas are about to call the police!!!]

“Ah, got it!!!”
