Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 77: Woman’s Identity
Busan.
Just hearing the name, it seems like a place that would be much more fun than other places.
And in fact, it was true.
But—
“...When am I going to leave?”
The distance was too far.
Since I lived in Seoul, the distance to the provinces was inevitable, but even considering that, it still felt far.
From what I found on the internet, it takes about two and a half hours to get there.
"Ugh."
A sigh was inevitable.
But what could I do?
I had to go at least once.
With that thought, I checked my preparations again.
‘Power bank, phone, wallet—all here.’
After confirming what I had, I headed to Seoul Station.
To get to Busan, I had to take the KTX.
Of course, there were other ways to get there, but those took too long.
So, I had no choice but to take the KTX.
“Please take me to Seoul Station.”
I grabbed a taxi and arrived at Seoul Station.
It had been a while since I had been there.
I remembered coming here when I went on a school trip.
It felt nostalgic as I checked the train schedule.
There were 30 minutes left.
Enough time to grab a quick snack.
“What should I eat...?”
I hesitated for a moment.
Should I eat here, or wait until I got to Busan and eat something delicious there?
While I was thinking, a text came in.
[Yeram Lee: Oppa]
[Yeram Lee: I’m not kidding]
[Yeram Lee: Buy anything, just bring food]
[Yeram Lee: You know, something famous in Busan]
She wanted me to bring something famous from Busan.
To be honest, I didn’t know what was famous in Busan.
Probably just gukbap (a Korean soup with rice).
“Hmm...”
There was a place I could ask about this.
Right—‘Red.’
I immediately logged into the Ifrit Gallery on Red and posted a question.

[Title: What’s famous in Busan???]
[Content: I’m going to Busan, tell me something famous, no gukbap nonsense]
After posting, I waited in the waiting room for a while.
I considered eating, but it seemed better to eat after I arrived in Busan.
Then, shortly after, I checked the replies to my post.

L: Milmyeon is famous, yeah
N: Busan milmyeon is really delicious
N: But there are so many milmyeon places in Busan, it’s not that special
N: This bastard would probably complain about how many bibimbap places there are in Gyeongju
N: Bibimbap is a little overrated though...
L: Gukbap is really good, especially pork gukbap
N: Pork gukbap is classic
L: Busan’s full course is a must, you know?
N: I keep hearing about Busan’s full course but don’t know what it is, lol
L: Kang Hoo-min: When you arrive in Busan, I’ll recommend something tasty, leave a comment
“...Is this even useful?”
I didn’t expect much, but this felt like it wasn’t really helpful.
There should have been at least something with some substance.
I sighed at the lack of quality information from the Ifrit Gallery and turned off my phone, waiting for the train.
‘I should probably take a nap inside.’
I decided to rest a bit, keeping my eyes open while waiting for the train to arrive.
How much time passed?
Screech—!
The train arrived.
"Wow, it came so fast."
I didn’t expect it to arrive so quickly.
I thought it would take at least four hours, but it came much sooner than I anticipated.
Grateful for the speed, I gathered my things and stepped outside.
The current time was 12 PM.
The meeting for the trade was scheduled for 3 PM.
So, I had some time to spare.
‘I should eat something.’
I figured it would be better to eat.
I was getting hungry.
As I stepped out of Busan Station, I looked around and noticed many restaurants that looked good.
But...
“Hmmm...”
Nothing was particularly appealing this morning.
Gukbap felt too heavy, and I wasn’t in the mood for milmyeon either.
Just then, I remembered the comment from Kang Hoo-min about recommending something tasty.
‘He said he’d recommend something.’
What would he suggest?
With a bit of anticipation, I replied to the comment.
L Kang Hoo-min: When you arrive in Busan, I’ll recommend something tasty, leave a comment
London’s Secrets Unveiled: Just got to Busan
London’s Secrets Unveiled: Recommend something tasty
Shortly after...
Kang Hoo-min: Already there? lol
Kang Hoo-min: Then, go for milmyeon
Kang Hoo-min replied to my comment.
London’s Secrets Unveiled: I don’t want milmyeon
Kang Hoo-min: Then go for pork gukbap
London’s Secrets Unveiled: That’s not good either
Kang Hoo-min: Then go for tonkatsu
London’s Secrets Unveiled: I don’t want greasy food
Kang Hoo-min: Don’t eat then, idiot
“Hmm.”
I got harshly scolded.
I felt a little unfair.
I just wanted to eat something that wasn’t too greasy, filling, and not too salty.
Was it really that hard to recommend something like that?
Compared to the Kang Hoo-min I knew, I was a bit disappointed.
‘I guess I’ll just eat anything.’
I had been looking forward to eating something delicious in Busan, but now I felt disappointed.
With that thought, I entered a nearby restaurant and had a bowl of udon, then went to a café to kill time until the meeting.
I sat in the café, sipping coffee while I waited.
‘Finally, it’s time.’
The meeting time had finally arrived.
The time had passed so slowly, it was quite boring.
Relieved, I headed back to Busan Station.
“Is this the right place?”
I wasn’t familiar with Busan Station, so I was confused about where to go.
Everything seemed the same.
After wandering around for a bit, I finally found the meeting spot.
There was a neat-looking woman standing at the meeting point.
Just to be sure, I contacted her through the second-hand transaction app.
[Is the person in a neat brown skirt over there, you?]
I had to make sure.
It would be awkward if I pretended to know her and she wasn’t the right person.
While thinking that—
[Ah, that’s me.]
The woman confirmed she was the one.
I headed straight to where she was standing.
“Ah, are you the one for the trade?”
She turned around and asked as if she had known right away.
What?
I had walked carefully, so how did she notice?
‘It’s not like I’m a fly.’
It was surprising that she had noticed me, but I opened my mouth.
“Yes, that’s me, the one for the trade.”
“Shall we go? You came all the way here to check the PC and monitor, right?”
“Let’s go. But may I ask where you live?”
I had to know where she lived because I was going with her to her place.
It was important for safety reasons.
“I live near Haeundae, why?”
“Ah, then it’s fine. Let’s go.”
Once she said she lived near Haeundae, I stopped doubting.
It was a pretty safe area.
It wasn’t some remote place, and Haeundae was a busy area, so there would be plenty of people around.
With that thought, I followed her.
Clunk, clunk—.
“Didn’t you bring a car?”
“I don’t have a license.”
“Oh, okay.”
She said she lived near Haeundae, so I thought she’d have a car, but it turned out she didn’t have a license.
It was a little surprising.
So, I ended up taking the bus with someone I had never met before.
‘The ride is uncomfortable.’
At least the ride would have been bearable if it was comfortable.
I thought it was a bit unpleasant as I rode the bus, heading to a stranger’s house.
The apartment she lived in was in a very busy area.
I didn’t have to worry about being kidnapped.
With such random thoughts, I entered the apartment.
“Just follow me.”
“Sure.”
Following her, I entered the apartment, and I was amazed by how luxurious it looked.
How much money would it take to live here?
I thought, envious, as I entered the elevator.
As I followed her, I was fully aware she could do something weird since I was the one at a disadvantage here.
‘I’m not too worried though.’
I wasn’t that concerned.
There were plenty of CCTV cameras along the way, and if it came to it, I could subdue most women with joint locks.
While thinking this, the door opened, and she gestured for me to come in.
“Come in.”
“Okay.”

Inside, the space looked very high-end.
I thought, ‘If I had money, living here wouldn’t be bad.’
Then, she spoke casually.
“There’s the computer, check it and take it if you’re okay with it.”
She stepped aside, and I decided to check the computer.
Just as I was turning it on, I noticed a memo stuck in the corner of the monitor.
[ Gulren - Two cooking-related videos by the day after tomorrow.]
[ Pablo - One video on the current issues with all-you-can-eat stores by tomorrow.]
[ Mangming - One solo rank video.]
The moment I saw that, I became curious.
What kind of person was this?
