Chapter Title: The Female Streamer Suggests a Butt-Slapping Game First
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I wore a troubled expression.
'Hmm, what should I do?'
I needed to start brainstorming content for tomorrow's stream. It was a real head-scratcher, but there was no avoiding it.
'Should I call An Young Sister again and do a collab? Viewers would probably show up in droves...'
I pondered for a moment, then shook my head.
'Nah. Overdoing it with the same guest isn't great. I'll save that for later.'
Right now, you could call me a jack-of-all-trades streamer(?).
In simple terms, I did everything under the sun. Games, mukbangs, drinking mukbangs, guest collabs, outdoor streams—you name it, I did it.
At first glance, it might seem like I had content overflowing.
But coming up with ideas was tough for me. My standards for fun were sky-high.
'If I just do something ordinary, viewers will drop off again.'
I'd finally built up a steady thousand viewers. I couldn't risk losing them now.
'So what then? Games are out for now. Outdoor streams aren't ideal either. That leaves guest collabs...'
As I'd mentioned before, I had numbers for tons of streamers and was pretty tight with a bunch of them. Plenty would probably say yes if I asked.
But there was a catch.
'Just inviting anyone randomly feels off...'
Ma-sam had drilled it into me: stories were everything in streaming.
Sure, I could snag a guest without any buildup and still pull decent numbers.
But a guest with a story behind it? That'd draw way more eyes.
'Tch, the only streamer I have a story with right now is An Young Sister...'
We kept circling back to her. This wouldn't do.
I stared at my monitor with a furrowed brow.
That's when it happened.
Ding.
Another message popped up.
My face soured with irritation. I figured it was Ma-sam or some promo spam with zero sense of timing.
But it wasn't.
'Huh?! What's this?'
I blinked in surprise. This wasn't annoyance at Ma-sam—it was pure shock from someone else.
And it was understandable.
[Hey! Jae-ho! It's Heyni! Just wanted to say thanks so much, that's why I'm DMing you!]
Someone I actually had a story with had messaged me. And she was a streamer blowing up lately—gorgeous, too.
A grin crept across my face.
'Should I shoot my shot?'
The odds weren't great. She'd been turning down invites from massive corps left and right.
So yeah, chances were high she'd turn me down too.
But what did I have to lose?
I started typing a reply right away.
[Hey, Heyni. Good to hear from you. Jae-ho the streamer here. Thanks for the message.]
The words flowed effortlessly, for some reason.
"Alright. Done."
I fired off the DM to Heyni in seconds.
My heart skipped a beat.
Oh, it wasn't butterflies over meeting her. Turns out I was pretty resistant to pretty girls. Years managing Ma-sam had exposed me to hordes of female streamers.
No, it was just the anticipation getting to me.
She'd probably reject me. Corps were begging, and she said no to all of them.
But weirdly, I had a good feeling.
Maybe all those booking attempts had honed my instincts?
Sometimes, I just knew.
'Tch, fingers crossed...'
As I sat there tense, waiting for her reply—
Ding.
Heyni responded almost instantly.
I eagerly checked the message.
'Please say yes.'
And just like that, my face lit up.
"Yes!!"
[Whoa! A collab with Jae-ho? Hell yeah, I'm in!!]
She'd accepted without hesitation.
***
I welcomed Heyni into my streaming room-slash-home.
"Hi! Nice to meet you."
Truth be told, I was a little nervous.
An Young Sister and I went way back. But this was our first time. Couldn't help feeling the jitters.
Turned out, I had nothing to worry about.
Her personality was exactly like on stream—super friendly and approachable.
"Whoa! So great to meet you! Jae-ho oppa!"
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
"This is where Jae-ho oppa works?"
"It's just my house. Sleep here, stream here, you know..."
"Speak casually! Oppa!"
She sidled right up to me, puffing out her cheeks. Adorably.
I nodded without thinking.
"Sure, I will... wait, yeah, got it."
"Hehe!"
Her pretty eyes sparkled. She was magnetic. No wonder she'd blown up.
'Her skin's insanely fair.'
Anyway, not the time.
I let her into the house.
And we started chatting about the stream.
"Just relax. We'll eat some food, chat about recent stuff, and wrap up."
"No way!"
"Huh?"
"Just eating would be boring!"
Honestly, even just eating would pull viewers—thanks to our story.
But she wasn't satisfied with that.
'Ambitious under that cute exterior, huh?'
Soon, a bold idea slipped from her lips.
"How about this instead?"
"What?"
"The two of us play a butt-slapping game!"
"Butt-slapping?"
"Yeah! That'll draw way more viewers and superchats will explode!"
True. Facts.
But it put pressure on the girl. That's why I hadn't suggested it.
"Still, you'd be the one..."
"I'm fine with it! I've always wanted to try something like this in a collab!"
I looked into her eyes.
They burned with determination. She meant it.
'Whatever, works for me.'
An Young Sister's face flashed in my mind, but I shook it off.
We weren't dating.
Besides, this was just stream content.
Streams were streams—bangbangbwa, as they say. Judge it as such. This fit perfectly.
I nodded.
"Yeah, I think that's solid."
"Eee! Right? It's gonna be fun!"
"Yep."
Few people had this much energy pre-stream. She was one of a kind.
'No wonder viewers eat her up.'
Anyway, we'd covered enough stream talk.
I prepped quickly.
"Wanna hide out for a sec?"
"Sure! Classic Jae-ho oppa! Surprise appearances are the best!"
"Cool."
She vanished from frame in a flash—hopped right onto my bed.
"This is where Jae-ho oppa sleeps? Smells nice..."
I ignored her antics. Stream time.
The broadcast went live.
Viewers flooded in fast. Even I was impressed with my momentum lately.
Once we hit around three hundred, I spoke up.
"Hey everyone!"
-Sup.
- Hey
- Looking handsome as always?
- Jae-ho oppa!
- What's today's content?
- (hype emote)
The chat lit up instantly. Moments like this made streaming worth it.
I bantered with them a bit.
"Oh, you saw the popular post? Yeah, tons about me."
-Let's raid Streamer Gallery!
- Go go go
"Should we?"
I dove into Streamer Gallery as requested.
Heyni peeked curiously from off-frame. Normally, I'd intro her by now.
But gallery browsing outta nowhere? Baffling, for sure.
'Hang tight.'
I smirked and started reading a popular post.
"This one? About my great eye for talent."
-Yup
- But it's true, right? Just look at spotting Heyni.
- Nah, luck.
- Still, different from your average newbie streamer.
- True. Handles gear and software like a pro, great timing and flow too.
Viewers critiquing me live—and mostly positive.
They were my fans, but brutally honest. If they approved, it was legit.
And there it was—my hook.
I seized it, name-dropping her.
"But speaking of, Heyni's been crushing it lately, huh?"
-You didn't know?
- Yup
- She's fully popped off.
- Corps are losing their minds begging for collabs.
I feigned shock. Decent acting, if I do say.
Chat bought it hook, line, and sinker.
-Real streamer, know your scene!
- Fr, you slacking on streaming homework?
- She's hot right now, yeah?
Told you—ruthless. They turned on me quick.
I just grinned.
Then shot up from my seat.
Pop.
-?
- What?
- Bro lost it?
- ?????
Chat exploded at the randomness.
I glanced, then boomed.
"You said Heyni's blowing up, right?"
-Yeah?
- So?
- Why's he acting weird today?
- Wrong pills?
I ignored them and shouted.
"So I brought her! Come on out, Heyni!"
-????????
- Real Heyni incoming?
- Cap.
- If real, one superchat incoming.
They weren't buying it at first. Too sudden.
But belief came quick.
"Hey everyone!! Heyni here!!"
A stunning blonde appeared beside me outta nowhere.
The one and only Heyni—the streamer who'd been popping off.
