I Became the Eldest Daughter of 10 Siblings

I could clearly feel the changes surrounding me.
When I arrived at the fast food restaurant for work, the part-timers approached me noisily.
“Is noona really Barcode?”
“…Yes.”
“You’re HaYoo who started streaming on Twimer, right?”
“Yes. That’s right, so let’s focus on working hard.”
“Yes, noona!”

A customer entered the store. As I was on counter duty, I responded cheerfully.
“Welcome to McDorothy’s. How may I help you with your order?”
“One Classical Burger set and… huh?”

The customer looked at my face, licked their lips, and pointed a finger at me.
“Are you perhaps… HaYoo?”

Faced with the recognizing gaze, I hesitated for a moment on how to respond.
Soon, my reaction was…
“Yes, that’s right.”
I need to attract even one more viewer.

“Wow! So you live in Jamsil. I’m a real fan.”
They suddenly offered a handshake. Bewildered, I took their hand and bowed my head.
“…Thank you.”

I personally experienced how truly tremendous the impact of broadcasting is.
Well, it’s understandable.

My match with Joo Sehun was the talk of the town on SNS and communities alike, truly a hot potato. Not to mention the YouTube views, even Instagram was buzzing.
The video I’m watching now is no exception.

@dont_be_serious
-Yesterday’s match was legendary lol for real
@oxlula__
-Ah Barcode is really pretty
└Now call her HaYoo
└Ok HaYoo is really pretty
@1_uck_casino
-I was her junior at Cheongsol Girls’ High, she’s really kind ㅠㅠ
└Wow… what was she like…??
└She was in the band, good at guitar, kind, and had many friends around her bbb

After returning home, I had a phone call with Seong Dojun.
-Instagram account?
“I made it.”
-YouTube?
“I made it.”
-Fan cafe?
Wait. Just a little more and it’ll be done.
“Yes. I made it.”
-Good job. Now all that’s left is promotion.
“Do I have to do the promotion too?”
-Usually the manager does it, but it would be more effective if you do it.
“Can’t you do it for me?”
-I’m not your manager, you know.
Seong Dojun’s sharp reply.
I subtly suggested,
“Would you like to be my manager?”
-Get lost. I’m busy too.
I thought so.

I keenly felt that being a streamer is not as easy as I thought. I need a manager, and an editor too.
By the way, how do I find a manager and an editor?
It’s already overwhelming and the future looks bleak.

“Do I have to post a job ad for this too?”
-Posting would be faster. Don’t you have a minor gallery or mini gallery?
I searched and found one. A HaYoo minor gallery.
“There’s a minor gallery.”
-Then post there.

After ending the call, I thought deeply.
Honestly, I didn’t feel like it. Gallery users felt like wild horses that I couldn’t tame to my liking. Absolutely not.
Whether it’s an editor or a manager, I need someone I can mold… isn’t there someone docile but exceptionally good at work?

Putting that thought aside for now, I entered KakaoTalk.
Entering the family group chat, it was already in an uproar about me.

[#4 Han Si-eun : I’m really upset!]

Now I can’t hide it anymore.
I said with a sweet smile,
[Han Yujin : Guys]
[Han Yujin : Write what you want]

The response came immediately, like baby birds waiting for their mother to bring food.

[Han Yujin : @Han Si-eun]
[Han Yujin : You speak up quickly too]
[#4 Han Si-eun : Mine’s a bit expensive…]
[#4 Han Si-eun : A computer…]

…The most modest kid asks for the most expensive item, how surprising.
[Han Yujin : Ok you’re noted too]

I ordered what they asked for and did everything they wanted. I also deposited quite a large amount to Dad and Mom.
After paying all the overdue utility bills, taxes, and fixed expenses like rent, all the donation money I received disappeared.
Still, there’s nothing left for me.
But it felt refreshing, like a long-standing indigestion had gone away.

Feeling satisfied, I logged into before going to work.
Not as Barcode, but with my main account, [R]Zenith.
Entering the guild channel, one guild member was guarding the channel.
It was Mio.

<[R]Zenith> Hi Mio
<[R]Mio> Oh Zeni hyung!
<[R]Mio> It’s been a while ㅡㅡ
<[R]Mio> But hyung I have a concern…

Mio suddenly came to me for advice.

<[R]Zenith> What concern?
<[R]Mio> Don’t laugh and listen
<[R]Mio> I’ve recently fallen in love

Oh, this kid?
For Mio, known as a lifelong single and shy guy, to confess his love, this wasn’t a small event but a big one.

<[R]Zenith> Our Mio has grown up lol
<[R]Zenith> Who is it who is it

Then,
A shocking answer came out.

<[R]Mio> Did you see the Joo Sehun vs Barcode match..?
<[R]Mio> Do you know Barcode is a woman?
<[R]Mio> She debuted on Twimer with the name HaYoo
<[R]Mio> She’s so pretty I fell for her…

I lost my words and stared at the chat window oddly.
Hey kid, don’t fall for her. That’s me.
Although I didn’t feel bad about the unintended high praise, I felt I should let him know the cold reality.

<[R]Zenith> Hey lol even so
<[R]Zenith> You’ve never even seen her in person
<[R]Zenith> Wake up you fool
<[R]Mio> I know…
<[R]Mio> She looks like Aragaki Mio…

…Who’s Aragaki Mio?

<[R]Zenith> What’s that, you weeb
<[R]Mio> Mio is a guitarist who appeared in the 2023 1st quarter anime called , shortened to ….
<[R]Zenith> Ah stfu

I instinctively realized that I should never tell this kid that I’m Barcode.
The moment I thought that.

<[R]Mio> Hyung, to show you how serious I am
<[R]Mio> Do you know BJ Lilme who broadcasts on AsiaTV?
<[R]Mio> I’m Lilme’s broadcast editor
<[R]Mio> I want to quit right now and go under Barcode ㅠㅠ
<[R]Mio> Lilme’s personality is too nasty ㅠㅠ

My eyes widened like a goldfish’s.
Lilme.
She was the top female BJ reigning on Asia, an internet broadcasting platform that forms two pillars with Twimer. Her nickname is Lil-president, Lil-president.
Her broadcast scale is so big that when she gets 100,000 viewers during content, she’s criticized for being ‘only a hundred thousand’.
A woman truly crazy about broadcasting.
Is he saying he’s going to ruthlessly reject the scraps from such a first-class BJ and come to me?

<[R]Zenith> Lolololololololololololololololololololol
<[R]Mio> Why are you laughing?ㅡㅡ My love is sincere

Ah, sorry. I’m just too happy.
To not miss this opportunity, I said,

<[R]Zenith> Mio
<[R]Zenith> My #1 brother Mio!!
<[R]Mio> Why are you suddenly like this hyung;
<[R]Zenith> Shall we meet and talk…?

Editor, found.

I went to work at a local bar in the evening. Before going in, I looked up at the store’s signboard shining in front of the main entrance.
Root (根本).
Thoughts crossed chaotically like a tangled ball of thread.
What exactly is my root?

Han Yujin, a male who has lived with inherited ways of thinking and behavior.
Han Yujin, the eldest daughter who suddenly arrived in this parallel world and lives as the pillar of the family.
Han Yujin, a female internet broadcast streamer who flirts with viewers in front of the camera.

Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis.
Among these, what exactly is my root?
How can I find the center of gravity of this irritable root and set it perfectly straight?

With such philosophical concerns, I stepped over the threshold.
Even though it was Monday, the tables were already full. I passed soju to tables, made food, and cleared tables again while sweating profusely.

“Yujin. Bring out the sack.”
“Yes!”
The sack that usually wasn’t so heavy felt unusually heavy today for some reason.
I went outside, struggling with both hands and walking awkwardly.

At that moment, my eyes met with a man who was smoking. The man with tired, sleepy eyes smiled at me.
And,
He raised the corner of his mouth slyly and spoke to me.
“Hey.”
This bastard, why is he speaking informally out of nowhere?
“What?”
“You’re Han Yujin, right?”
“Yes, I am.”
I retorted as unpleasantly as possible.

Then the man laughed softly.
“You, are you perhaps a man?”
“…What?”
My heart sank.
