Chapter 105
“I didn’t expect that dealing with people would be this hard.”@@@@
The Hoo-min I knew wasn’t this much of a loser.
It was really disappointing.
With that thought in mind, I opened my mouth.
“First, my name is Lee Ji-hoo. You can talk casually.”
Having revealed my name first, Hoo-min couldn’t back out now.
When someone says something like that first, it’s the unspoken rule to respond.
But then...
“...I’m older than you, so... can we not use casual speech?”
Hoo-min gave me an unexpected response.
I really didn’t think he would answer like that.
It was clear now that he had a very different way of doing things compared to others.
Still, it seemed better to accommodate him.
If I didn’t go along with it and the broadcast didn’t go smoothly, that’d be another problem.
“Ah... okay. So, what should I call you then?”
“Hmm... Se-young, maybe?”
I was trying to hold it in, but that crossed the line, so I straightened up and spoke.
“Hoo-min, do you really want to die?”
With those words, I stared at Se-young, who kept adjusting her glasses.
Then...
“Eek... Then, I’ll just use casual speech..”
Se-young quickly backed down.
Why make weird comments when you won’t even stick to them in the end?
I thought it was strange, but then I took Se-young and headed to the broadcast setup.
Creek-
As the door opened, Se-young and Shin Ye-hwa locked eyes.
Then, with a confused look on her face, Shin Ye-hwa spoke.
“...Are you ‘강후민입니다’?”
It seemed like she wasn’t quite sure.
And it made sense.
It’s hard to believe that someone who looked like that could have been the one typing those malicious comments.
“Uhm... yeah.”
Se-young admitted it honestly.
Then, after a short moment...
“Wow... You look different than I imagined. I thought you’d be fatter and uglier.”
“Is that how you speak to a viewer?”
I scolded Shin Ye-hwa, though I had to admit, I was thinking the same.
I expected her to be fatter and uglier... but she wasn’t that bad when I saw her in person.
It wasn’t that she was fat, but more like she had a larger chest and a modest look.
Objectively speaking, she wasn’t bad-looking at all.
‘But who cares about that.’
Of course, today it was because of the provocative keyword “face reveal,” so the viewers were increasing explosively, but still...
I thought about that and checked the viewer count.
[Viewer Count: 2,301]
2,300 viewers.
It might look small, but this was only three minutes after starting the broadcast.
The viewer increase was so fast it was incomparable to last week’s trend.
“Ah, can everyone hear me?”
The setup was the same, but since I was broadcasting from a different place, speaking felt a bit awkward.
It felt like wearing clothes that didn’t fit me.
But what could I do?
I had to adapt to it.
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: We can hear you, you idiot]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Start talking]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Why aren’t you talking?]
[ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ]
[The manager’s mad too, lol]
[After taking a break without notifying anyone, the first thing he says is ‘face reveal,’ how could he not be angry]
[Didn’t you say you were going to contact your manager separately?]
[하린: Yeah, I think I heard that too]
[하린: What happened?]
“Hmm... sorry!”
This was my fault, so I quickly apologized.
I had promised to contact my manager if I couldn’t start the broadcast on time, but I hadn’t contacted them at all.
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Ah, lol]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Sorry, haha, really want to hit you]
[Calm down, calm down]
[The fact is, you can’t argue with anything...]
[So, face reveal today? So, face reveal today? So, face reveal today? So, face reveal today? So, face reveal today?]
[파인: Hello~]
[파하]
[Why is Pa-in here again, lol]
[Viewer pumping event ON]
If I didn’t speak up quickly, the chat would be in chaos, so I hurriedly opened my mouth.
“Yep, we’re doing the face reveal today, so bring people over. Spread the word everywhere.”
Since I was going to reveal my face, it’d be more fun to make it impactful and show everyone, rather than doing it quietly.
As soon as I said that...
Suddenly, the chat went silent.
Well, it wasn’t loud to begin with, but it felt eerily quiet now.
I wondered what was going on when...
[레오레하는 모든 커뮤에 홍보 돌리고 왔다 ᄋᄋ]
[I just went and promoted it everywhere, lol]
[Now you’re really gonna blow up, lol]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: You’re promoting this for free, lol]
[As expected, kindness pays off, haha]
[Even promoted on male-centered sites, did I do well????]
[하린: Yeah, you did great]
[망밍: Oh]
Looking at the chat, I understood why it had suddenly gone quiet.
It seemed everyone had gone to promote it on community sites.
‘...I was just joking.’
I hoped no posts related to me would end up in extreme communities as I checked the viewer count.
[Viewer Count: 4,192]
In no time, the viewer count hit 4,000.
It seemed the preparation was almost complete.
I opened my mouth again.
“So, before the face reveal... let’s take a look at our Hoo-min first.”
[Hmm, this is right]
[Hoo-min, bend over~ Hoo-min, bend over~ Hoo-min, bend over~ Hoo-min, bend over~ Hoo-min, bend over~]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Ah, finally]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Today’s the day]
[Let’s go]
[Clearing up past sins... right?]
