Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 124: After The SCAT, an Interview with Parsley

“But the answers haven’t been released yet, right?”

It was a pure curiosity.

Though the college entrance exam had passed some time ago, I had never heard that all the answers were immediately available right after the test.

When I asked her—

"No, oppa. What kind of rookie question is that? You can tell right away, like ‘I screwed up,’ or ‘I did well.’ It’s just a feeling."

"Ah, that’s true."

I think I understood what IyeRam meant.

After taking the entrance exam, you can usually get a rough sense of whether you did well or not.

‘Though, I’ve never been so confident in my judgment before.’

I wondered if she really did well.

Thinking about it, I spoke up.

"Then I’ll come to where you are. Let’s grab a meal nearby."

"Oh, nice."

With that, I headed to where IyeRam was waiting.

Clop clop-

How long did it take?

"Oppa!!"

I saw IyeRam calling me from a distance, shouting loudly.

"...Why is she calling so loudly?"

She knew I didn’t like attracting attention outside.

I thought I should give her another lesson at home after this, waving my hand and running toward her.

"Oppa, let’s go eat. I’m hungry."

"What do you want to eat?"

IyeRam immediately asked for food as soon as we met.

I expected her to talk for a bit and then ask for food, but...

I thought to myself, how tired must she be to act this way? I kept talking as we walked.

"I want sushi..."

"Sushi?"

"Yeah. I suddenly really crave sushi."

"Sushi is delicious, yeah."

Sushi is indeed delicious.

It’s just too expensive for me to eat often.

"Then let’s go eat sushi. I’ll get a taxi."

"Oh, nice."

I immediately hailed a taxi.

Eating at a nearby restaurant right after the exam would be the dumbest thing to do.

‘A lot of people who took the exam are probably going to be around here.’

It was better to eat sushi quietly at a local place.

I thought this as I walked a little farther from the exam site.

"Let’s grab a taxi from a place where it’s easy to get one. If we try calling one from inside, they won’t come."

"Yeah, that’s true."

I couldn’t speak much since I’ve never driven a taxi, but I knew taxi drivers were very particular about this.

Maybe because their livelihoods depended on it.

With that in mind, I arrived at a place where I could hail a taxi.

Soon after,

Screech-

A taxi arrived.

"Let’s go."

Now it was time to hear about IyeRam’s exam while having sushi.

"We’ll get the large size."

"Oh... what? Oppa’s been pretty bold lately?"

I guess I’ve been bolder recently.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll just spend money recklessly, but when it’s needed, I definitely use it.

With the order done, we drank our drinks and chatted.

‘I would have wanted some soju, though.’

It didn’t look that great to drink in front of IyeRam.

Maybe when she turns 19, we can drink together.

I thought this as I spoke.

"So, how do you think you did on the exam? Tell me in detail."

"I think I did great. But now we just have to check the answers. Oppa, turn on your phone."

"Ah, okay."

I figured the answers for most subjects were already out.

I searched for the answers to the Korean exam on the internet.

"Here."

"Thanks."

IyeRam took my phone, comparing the answers with the answer key.

Then, a moment later,

"One wrong."

She said confidently.

"Oh, what? Why’d you do so well?"

"It’s me."

Well,

IyeRam did have some talent when it came to Korean, so... it wasn’t too surprising.

She kept checking the other subjects.

"Math, full marks."

"Wait a minute. Aren’t you doing better than me?"

I started feeling a little uneasy.

I had been teasing IyeRam about her entrance exam scores, but if she ended up doing better than me, then I wouldn’t have anything to tease her about.

‘I can’t take the exam again just to tease her.’

I started panicking. IyeRam was still checking other subjects.

"English 1. For the electives, I haven’t seen the answers, but I checked on the community, and I think I got everything right?"

"Ah, wait a second. This is bad."

I hoped she did well, but I didn’t expect her to do this well.

I felt panic creeping up as I tried to find a flaw.

"Wait, you didn’t do Korean History, right?"

"Who’s going to grade that? I probably got a 5."

"No, you have to grade it. I remember your mock test score clearly."

With that, IyeRam started grumbling as she began grading her Korean History exam.

But then—

"...Wait."

IyeRam’s face turned pale.

"...What?"

Something was clearly wrong with IyeRam’s face.

It looked like she had made a huge mistake.

She kept checking repeatedly, her face still pale, and then—

"Wow... I almost messed up. I thought I got a 7."

"What grade did you get?"

"4."

"Traitor to your country. Seriously."

The fact that IyeRam, who was taking the entrance exam, was relieved after getting a 4 in Korean History...

The future of this country was truly grim.

‘Was it always grim?’

Anyway, looking at the big picture, she did extremely well on the entrance exam.

She was likely going to get into one of the top universities in Seoul.

"You really did well. Honestly, I doubted it."

"Well, when you take the exam, you can feel it right away. Whether you did well or not."

"That’s true, but..."

As we talked, our food arrived.

The exam scores were all checked, and now it was time to relax and enjoy the meal.

The next day,

IyeRam left for school with a very happy face.

She seemed really relieved to have done well on the exam.

"Ah, right."

By the way, I was supposed to start the stream yesterday.

But, with all the talking with IyeRam, I completely forgot to start it.

"I should’ve at least left a notice."

I didn’t really like making viewers wait, but I felt bad, so I quickly got up and started the stream.

[The stream has started!]

With the notification that the stream had started, viewers quickly began joining.

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: Damn]

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: Seriously]

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: What the hell]

[Why didn’t you stream yesterday? Why didn’t you stream yesterday? Why didn’t you stream yesterday?]

[It’s so annoying that you didn’t stream...]

[KangHoominHere: Just go die ㅇㅇ..]

[Really pissed off]

[Hwanhee: It’s really disappointing that you didn’t even leave a notice]

The viewers were immediately upset.

But I had my reasons, so I quickly responded.

"I wanted to stream, but I couldn’t, so I’m doing it now. I’ll stream longer today, so please bear with me."

Normally, I would just ignore them, but with the viewers this upset, I couldn’t afford to brush it off.

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: You think saying that is going to]

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: calm us down???]

[Actually, it’s fine]

[If you stream long today, we’ll forgive you ㅋㅋ]

[KangHoominHere: Don’t think we’re going to forgive you just because you apologized?]

[KangHoominHere: I’ll keep making fun of you even if you apologize]

[Low tastes are absolutely savage ㅋㅋ]

[Seriously, that’s savage..]

[Hwanhee: By the way, did your sibling do well on the exam?]

Just when I was about to answer, the chat brought it up.

It seemed like a good time to talk about what happened yesterday.

"Well, I don’t think it went that well."

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: Ah]

[Wow]

[KangHoominHere: Looks like things are going well ㅋㅋ]

[Temporarily Kicked Out!]

[This guy is seriously always the same ㅋㅋ]

"So, what’s the grade?"

"Everything’s 1st except for Korean History. That’s a 4."

If she’d done well on Korean History, I’d have said she did great, but as a Korean citizen, it was hard to call someone who failed Korean History a success on the exam.

It felt like my conscience was pricked.

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: LMAO ㅋㅋ]

[🗡️OmnipotentCthulhu: How do you even get a 4 in Korean History]

[KangHoominHere: I once got a 6 in Korean History ㅋㅋ]

[Please stop being so savage..]

[6th grade really makes me want to strangle someone]

[Heh-heh]

[Woah, woah, calm down]

[It’s hard to calm down ㅋㅋ]

While chatting like that,

suddenly,

Ring-ring-

Someone messaged me on Discord.

"Who could it be?"

There wasn’t anyone I needed to talk to, so I was curious.

Opening Discord, I saw—

[Parsley]

A name I didn’t expect at all.

"What’s this? I didn’t expect this at all."

Parsley suddenly messaging me.

Was there something serious going on?

I quickly opened the message.

"Dama-nim!!! Can you tell me about Sion?"

"Ah... sure."

It was such an unexpected request.
