Chapter Title: Let's Search My Name in the Streamer Gallery Search Bar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I widened my eyes and watched the video.
Doonggni and An Young Sister's sexy dance was something I couldn't just skip over.
They happened to be doing a criminal dance that emphasized their butts. On top of that, they were wearing super short hot pants. There was no way I could avoid watching this.
I compared their videos professionally and picked a winner.
'An Young wins.'
It wasn't personal bias—objectively, An Young Sister was just a bit sexier.
'Her dance skills seem to be improving more and more.'
This was great news for a streamer. I hoped An Young Sister would keep getting better.
After that, I enjoyed plenty more rear-view warning videos.
A female streamer doing cow cosplay and emphasizing her chest, a Zero-Two dance that showed almost her entire pubic bone, squats highlighting her butt, and more.
I watched a wide variety.
'This is why I browse Streamer Gallery.'
Next, I typed my name into the search bar and checked out posts related to me.
'Let's see...'
Soon, posts with "Jae-ho" started popping up one after another.

'Public opinion's not bad lately?'
Searching your own name in community search bars gives a rough read on recent sentiment. And from what I saw, mine was pretty good. No, it was solidly positive.
'Gotta keep it this way.'
Aiming higher would be greedy. Better to focus on maintaining it.
That's when a high-pitched scream came from the monitor.
"Kyaaak!"
I stopped browsing Streamer Gallery and quickly looked at the screen. It was an instinctive reaction.
There was a rookie streamer with one breast fully exposed, looking flustered. Even her pink nipple was completely visible.
"D-don't look!"
The woman hurriedly covered her chest. Then she turned around and started fixing her clothes.
'Oops.'
Accidents like this happened sometimes. In live streaming, it was unavoidable.
From a fellow streamer's perspective, it was a tragedy... Yeah right.
I stared at the screen with a dumbfounded look.
'She totally planned it.'
I'd bet my entire fortune that the streamer exposed herself on purpose.
Her pink nipple was proof.
'100% tinted.'
My eyes didn't lie. You don't get that color without applying something. So it had to be intentional.
Noise marketing, I guess?
Soon the streamer fixed her clothes and started dancing casually again. That alone confirmed she baited it.
Lately, it seemed tough making a living off streaming. Doing deliberate exposures like that said it all.
'I'm one of the lucky ones.'
I'd stumbled into this position. Express was a major corp, after all. Holding onto this meant financial security for life.
But I couldn't settle here.
I wanted a higher spot.
'Gotta snatch Kim Kang-rok's seat.'
Maybe I was greedy. But greed had always driven human progress. No reason to feel bad.
I jumped up from my chair.
Was it the sudden boob show?
I felt strangely energized.
'Time to prep for today's stream.'
Todays broadcast had tons of streamers joining. It was a big production.
Needed to get ready early.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ [New Studio First Broadcast Here We Go!]
I went live from the new studio.
Pretty decorations and a bookshelf full of books were visible behind me.
Of course, I hadn't read any of those books. Just kept them for looks.
Maybe because the background changed?
-Oh
-Hi
-Rawr
-JH
-Jaeha
-What's behind you?
-Real new studio?
-Looks nice?
-Moved lol
-Suits you
Chat scrolled up fast in seconds. Mostly positive reactions.
'Not bad at all.'
Su-a and Ha-ni had decorated the background themselves. They had a surprising eye for aesthetics.
I opened my mouth once viewers had trickled in enough.
"Hello! It's Park Jae-ho!"
Fresh into the new place, I greeted with extra energy.
-Onya!
-You here?
-Rawr!
Viewers welcomed me warmly.
With a happy face, I started chatting with them.
"I've finally moved to a new studio. What do you think? Looks good, right?"
-Fr looks good
-Cleaner
-Way bigger?
-Can invite more guests now?
I panned the camera around the studio. Everyone loved it. Should've moved sooner.
Maybe the new background?
More viewers than expected.
I hadn't done any content yet. Just talked.
Already 20,000 watching.
'Start content early?'
Lots planned for today. Starting soon seemed fine.
'Gotta collect funds(?) too.'
Prep costs were high. Afterparty too—better start now.
"Alright, let's kick off content early today!"
-Go go
-Heart pounding
-What content?
-What fresh content to entertain us today?
"Don't expect too much. Anyway, let's bring out the first guest! Come on in!"
At my call, Su-a brought in the first guest.
Creeeak.
The studio door opened. A familiar face appeared.
"Hello everyone!"
"It's been a while since she was on my stream, right? An Young Sister."
It was An Young Sister.
She showed up putting full effort into her outfit.
It was like a cheongsam, but with the sides completely open. Her huge sideboob, waist, and thighs were all on display. Super bold.
-OwO
-Insane!
-Kyaaaaaaa
-My eyes!!!
-Nom nom!
-Come here!
-So damn sexy
Chat exploded instantly. Everyone hooked on her outfit.
Of course, some viewers weren't thrilled about her appearance.
-An Young again?
-Always An Young?
But those got swept away by the hordes of cows(?).
-Then die!
-Don't like? GTFO
-What's wrong with An Young!
-Heyni squad up top?
Definitely tons of An Young fans. Maybe the sexy outfit helped.
I sat her next to me first and complimented her look right away.
"Wow! Sister, your outfit today is insane?"
"Right? Put some effort in!"
"Any reason I can know?"
"Ahem, you'll find out when you go to the waiting room, Jae-ho."
"Oh, some amazing guest in the waiting room?"
"Don't play dumb—you booked them."
"This is how you build hype for viewers."
I was right, actually.
-Heart pounding
-Who is it! Spill!
-Not Haedal again, right?
Everyone curious about the next guest. Naturally boosting viewers.
[Real-time Viewers: 28,245] 'Up 8,000 already.'
I smiled in satisfaction.
"How've you been since the year-end party?"
"Me? Good. But you ghosted after the party? Hanging with Heyni and Rena fine though?"
"Ahem, you saw?"
"Saw it. Total chaos."
She meant episode 3 of the sweet drama with Heyni. It'd been a while, but viewers still talked about it. That successful.
'Rena Sister hit big.'
Sweetness, love triangle, tension, twists, hidden cam. All the hooks. Viewers ate it up.
"Think episode 4 will blow up too?"
"Yeah, probably."
"Oh!"
"But put me in episode 4!"
"You, Sister?"
"Yeah. I wanna kiss you too, Jae-ho."
"Ahem."
I cleared my throat at her sudden words.
Lately skimping on time with her? She was pushing hard on stream.
-Oh
-Sounds fun?
-Put me on too!
-Real triangle go!
-Dokgo Hwayeon too
-Harem arc ??
Time for some real quality time soon.
'Been neglecting An Young Sister. Gotta take care of her.'
Anyway, enough chat with the first guest.
"We'll see. No script yet."
"Got it. But you have to put me on?"
"Yes."
I wrapped up with her.
Then called the next.
"Next guest? Come on in!"
The door opened, and the new guest entered.
