Chapter Title: After Firing Me, Ma-sam's Failing Broadcast
-----------------------------------------------------------------
💬 Live Chat — Viewer "No! Bros! I said stop talking about Jae-ho? I sent him off nicely!" I perked up my ears at Ma-sam's voice. My name had just come up in the stream.
My eyes immediately darted to the chat window. I was curious about the viewers' reactions.
- Bullshit. You kicked him out, didn't you?
- Agree with above.
- Why'd Jae-ho just leave? He was so loyal to you.
- Definitely fired him over money. No doubt lolololol
The viewers' reactions weren't good at all. They were all cursing out Ma-sam.
It was thanks to the way I'd always acted on stream. They trusted me more than him.
Then Ma-sam's voice came again, sounding all aggrieved.
— Ma-sam "Bros! I'm not some money-grubbing bastard! You all know that!" Someone once said it.
People who claim they don't care about money love it the most.
That was Ma-sam to a T.
I'd never met anyone greedier in my life. He was a total miser. My salary had been a measly two million won.
Thinking back, it was amazing I'd stuck it out for so little. Probably because it was my first gig after arriving in this world.
'Future was too uncertain... so I just chose to stick around Ma-sam.'
Of course, if I'd known things would work out this well, I'd have quit ages ago.
Anyway, I checked Ma-sam's expression out of habit.
'Knew it.'
To me, his mood didn't look bad at all.
No, he actually seemed to be enjoying it.
*Ding!*
- Get lost! Bring Jae-ho back!
*Ding!*
- How you gonna stream without Jae-ho?
*Ding!*
- Me!
*Rack!*
The viewers' reactions were definitely bad. But donations kept pouring in nonstop, and viewer count was solid.
Controversy was gold for streamers. Ma-sam was right in the middle of it. No wonder the numbers were high.
'Well, the mountain climbing stream blew up the communities... so this reaction makes sense.'
Anyway, with viewers rolling in and donations flying, no way Ma-sam was unhappy.
Besides, momentary viewer sentiment meant nothing to a big streamer like him.
In fact, he flipped it in an instant.
— Ma-sam "Why wouldn't I be able to stream? Su-a! Come here a sec? Got something for you to do." — Su-a "Yes, oppa!" A new face appeared on screen soon enough. Su-a, the fresh manager and editor.
'Come to think of it, he didn't even do a proper handover. Just booted me out.'
I'd never really seen her before. First time spotting her face.
And damn, she was cuter than expected.
Like a puppy face, y'know?
'Definitely hired her for the looks.'
Her figure was killer too. Especially the chest. And she played it up big time as she stepped in.
— Su-a "Oppa! What's up?" - Ooooh~
- That's the new manager?
- At that level? Totally get it.
- Fair play firing Jae-ho lololol
- I'd fire myself too lololol
The viewers' reactions flipped in a heartbeat.
Streams like Ma-sam's—total sausage fests—were rare. Of course the audience was thirsty as hell.
A cute girl with big boobs shows up? Game over.
— Ma-sam "You're here? Yeah, no biggie. We're doing the ad stream soon, right? Get the audio set up ahead of time." — Su-a "Audio?" — Ma-sam "Yeah, you can handle it?" — Su-a "Of course!" Ma-sam spoke super sweetly. Nothing like how he treated me.
'Whoa, not a single curse word.'
To me, curses were standard. What a ridiculous difference.
I kept watching from my horse stance.
Soon, those big boobs loomed close to the cam. Perfect angle, right at center cleavage.
Su-a fiddled with the computer just like that.
Tap. Tap.
- Kyaaaaaaa!!
- Right there!!
- Veins and all ㄷㄷ
- Ma-sam is a god!
- Extreme!
- Rack!
Viewers went nuclear, as expected.
The ones cursing Ma-sam had all vanished by now.
In the background, Ma-sam watched with a satisfied grin. Big leagues, playing the crowd like a fiddle.
I just kept watching.
Ma-sam, who'd fired me, was still killing it. Just look at those happy viewers.
But I was certain.
'He'll regret it soon enough.'
Both Ma-sam and his viewers would.
I'd handled a ton back then. Nailed almost everything. Even I was impressed. Felt like streaming was my calling.
No way this Su-a girl could pull it off.
And sure enough, I was right.
— Su-a "Wh-what's wrong with this?" She couldn't even fix something as basic as audio.
— Ma-sam "Take it slow. Plenty of time still." — Su-a "Y-yes! Got it!" Ma-sam soothed her with a kind face.
But I knew that face wouldn't last.
'Ad stream with bad setup? Think Ma-sam would tolerate that?'
No chance in hell.
Ma-sam waited patiently with that sweet smile.
— Su-a "Ah, no, why won't it work? Weird..." But it didn't take long for his expression to twist. Right on cue.
His face was starting to crumple—the look he got when truly pissed.
— Ma-sam "Su-a? Ad stream's starting soon! You still messing with that?" — Su-a "S-sorry. First time with this game..." — Ma-sam "Sigh... Didn't prep ahead?" — Su-a "Sorry... I was busy too..." — Ma-sam "Tsk..." Ma-sam's face hardened more and more. No way they'd pull off the ad stream like this. That meant millions down the drain—his worst nightmare.
And on top of that, there was another headache.
- What're you doing? Think big tits fix everything? No prep?
- Troll above GTFO. Can happen first time!
- Call Jae-ho back NOW!!
- Su-a fighting!! Everyone sucks at first!
- GTFO. Gimme Jae-ho!
- Ooooh! Saw that cleavage. Su-a stan from now on!
The chat had split into extremes. Su-a defenders vs bashers—total chaos.
Boob fans vs diehard Ma-sam fans, basically?
Impossible to run an ad stream in this mess. Ma-sam's face was quivering with rage.
'Pfft, serves you right.'
I watched with glee.
I was still in horse stance, but it felt effortless. My body was light as air.
All because Ma-sam's stream was crumbling bit by bit.
'Won't be able to fire her easy now. Not with all those Su-a stans.'
Ma-sam was thirsty too. He'd blow up now over money, but give it time—it'd blow over. That's the Ma-sam I knew.
Anyway, no worries about him thriving. His stream would keep tanking slowly. Obvious without even watching.
I stuck around a bit longer, then bailed. Tired of staring at Su-a's chest. Wanted something prettier(?).
'And up close in real life, no less.'
An Young Sister's stream was live.
Her stamina was insane. Jiri Mountain right after, straight to streaming? Wild.
Her viewer count was pretty high too.
'Two thousand? Damn.'
Way above her usual. Probably thanks to our Jiri collab.
'Well, after airing out that ass...'
Of course, it wouldn't hold at two k. Bound to drop.
Anyway, she was rocking a white tee and dolphin pants. Comfy look, but sexy as hell on her.
I gazed at her fondly.
Our wild romp still fresh in mind. Couldn't help smiling.
Then her mouth opened, and my name dropped.
— An Young "But I saw Jae-ho in a new light. Dude's sneaky good at streaming." - True
- Didn't notice as manager, but streaming? Surprisingly solid.
- Drips on point lololol
- Nah, An Young's ass stole the show lolololol
— An Young "Hey! I said no more ass talk!" I watched An Young Sister huffing cutely. She was embarrassed about flashing her ass, for sure.
Sis chatted with viewers casually, killing time. Then dove into main content.
— An Young "Ta-da! Time to check out the True Thunder Sword I got yesterday." - Ooh! Fresh martial art straight from yesterday!
- 100% third-rate lololol
- Name sounds peerless lololol
- Second-rate? Donating a mil right now lolol
- Better than Fist King Fist at least lololol
I held my horse stance and watched her stream closely.
'That was my planned content...'
Of course, no dice now.
Peerless martial art. Couldn't show it on stream.
She'd prepped pretty seriously though. Inviting a guest on such short notice proved it.
— An Young "Come on out! Serin!" — Serin "Hello everyone! It's your sexy swordswoman Serin!" - Knew Serin'd show lololol
- Always her lololol
- Serin totally into An Young. Girl likes girls? lolol
- Sexy my ass lolol flat as board lolol
— Serin "I have boobs! Firm A-cups!" — An Young "Ahem, Serin?" — Serin "Oh, sorry. They keep bringing up my chest lately..." I nodded at the guest's entrance. Knew Serin well. She popped up on Ma-sam's stream often.
Unlike An Young, she was a martial artist.
'Second-rate, though.'
That's why An Young called her. For real advice, probably.
Soon, An Young clicked a prepped video.
Click.
